Guo Jia's face suddenly straightened up and he said: "Actually, I didn't know that this plan was very risky, but I had no choice but to do it! Don't forget, my lord has to deal with Xiliang under the command of Lu Bu.
Army! Their situation is even more unfavorable than ours, because they have no city wall protection! So I must get rid of this place quickly so that I can rush to rescue the lord!"
After hearing Guo Jia's explanation, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao understood a little bit, but they didn't understand why Guo Jia wanted to retreat with all his troops. Do they just want to abandon Chenliucheng, which they finally defeated? Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were confused in their hearts.
Before they had time to ask, Guo Jia seemed to have guessed their doubts and answered first: "I know what you are thinking! In fact, it's not just Chenliu City! The Chenliu and Ying cities we captured this time in the north
The three counties of Sichuan and Xuchang must be returned to Cao Cao!"
"Ah!" What Guo Jia said made the two of them shout out in shock, while Guo Jia said helplessly: "If my guess is correct, Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo colluded this time.
, he will definitely take Sun Jian with him! Sun Jian hasn’t shown up yet, and I’m afraid he has the same idea as Cao Cao, and wants to wait and see what happens! However, Sun Jian watching the sidelines with such eager eyes is really disadvantageous for us.
!So, for now, we can only retreat to Jingzhou for the time being and make other plans! In fact, this time, as long as we successfully escape back to Jingzhou, it will be a big victory!"
Now that Guo Jia has said this, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao have nothing to say. They can only nod to express their agreement. Then, they go down to prepare for the head count and set off! Guo Jia is left standing alone.
At the gate of the city, looking at the east, he suddenly raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Wen Ruo! I don't intend to return this Chenliucheng to you so easily!"
————————————————Dividing Line——————————————————————It is where Guo Jia and Chen Liu defeated Cao’s army
At that time, far outside Zhongmou City, an extremely strange scene was taking place on the battlefield between Lu Bu and Luo Yang. At the gate of the camp of the brave soldiers, the camp gate was wide open, and there were less than a thousand people guarding the camp gate.
Outside, Lu Bu was leading more than 20,000 soldiers of the Xiliang Army to guard the military camp aggressively. But for some reason, he never had the intention to attack the military camp!
Lu Bu looked at the formation in the military camp in front, but his face was full of weirdness. Behind Lu Bu, a soldier stepped forward cautiously and asked: "Marquis Wen! There are only a thousand people at the entrance of this military camp, why don't we just go in?"
Woolen cloth?"
"Idiot! Shut up!" Lu Bu glared at the soldier, but had no intention of continuing to lead the soldiers in. Instead, he snorted coldly, turned around, and rode back on the red rabbit horse.
, and even made a gesture to withdraw the troops! Although they felt strange about Lu Bu's order, the officers and soldiers of the Xiliang Army followed Lu Bu's lead and retreated with Lu Bu.
At the same time, in the military camp, Luo Yang, Huang Zhong and others were hiding in the tent, looking at the retreating Xiliang army in front of them. Huang Zhong and others were stunned at this moment. They could not understand at all. This Luo Yang
Just by sending more than a thousand soldiers to stand at the gate of the camp, Lu Bu and the 20,000 Xiliang troops were scared away! What on earth is this?
Luo Yang smiled and said nothing. Of course he would not say that he was plagiarizing the empty city strategy used by Zhuge Liang in history! Even though Lu Bu was a military general, he was actually quite suspicious! In history, Lu Bu was once suspected of being suspicious.
Because of Gao Shun's loyalty, he transferred the captured camp from Gao Shun's hands and handed it over to Wei Xu to manage. Only when it was time to fight would he hand over the command of the troops and horses to Gao Shun. But this Lu Bu was not Sima Yi after all.
If Luo Yang had gone too far like Zhuge Liang and left no soldiers and horses at the camp gate, he would probably provoke Lu Bu to rush in. So Luo Yang still arranged these more than a thousand people at the camp gate, seemingly guarding but not guarding, allowing Lu Bu to touch
Without thinking, there is only one way to retreat!
The most important reason for such a consequence is the battle between Luo Yang and Lu Bu yesterday. At least Luo Yang proved that their strength is no worse than Lu Bu! This will make Lu Bu feel scrupulous, which is why today
The "empty camp plan" was successful! In any case, if Lu Bu retreats this time, he will definitely not send troops again within three or four days!
However, this strategy is important. When Lu Bu comes again next time, Luo Yang's strategy will not work! But in this way, it will free up time for Luo Yang. If things go smoothly, Luo Yang should be able to wait until Guo Yang
Jia's army comes to help! Immediately, Luo Yang turned to his subordinate Li Gui and said: "Go and issue my military order and ask the soldiers to close the camp door. Remember to make a loud noise. It is best to make it look like
It's like there are a lot of people walking back and forth!" Luo Yang did this, naturally to let Lu Bu confirm that there was indeed an ambush in the camp, so that Lu Bu wouldn't have to calm down and turn around again to kill him!
After Li Gui went down to carry out Luo Yang's military order, Luo Yang greeted Huang Zhong and others, but he went straight back to the tent. Although he successfully deceived Lu Bu today, Luo Yang had many things to consider next.
The most important of them is the subsequent actions of Luo Yang's army!
The appearance of the Xiliang Army has completely disrupted Luo Yang's plan to eliminate Cao Cao. Even if Luo Yang can join Guo Jia's army this time and completely wipe out Lu Bu and the Xiliang Army, the time has passed and it is impossible to turn around and attack again.
Cao Cao is dead! Besides, in the south, there is such a scourge as Sun Jian. I don’t know if Liu Pi and Gong Du will arrive in time.
But instead of attacking Cao Cao, Luo Yang mobilized troops this time and returned without success, which made Luo Yang very unwilling! So now Luo Yang also has a headache and doesn't know what to do. At this time, he heard a voice coming from outside the big tent.
The voice, but it was Li Yan, the sword-wielding captain who accompanied the army, asked for an audience outside the tent. Luo Yang listened, waved his hand, and shouted: "Li Yan? Come in!"
Following Luo Yang's instructions, Li Yan also walked in from outside the camp in a polite manner, hugged Luo Yang with a fist, and shouted: "My lord! The soldiers have all been arranged! Please issue the order for tonight!"
Marching and fighting is not that simple. There are so many military affairs in the army every day! Guo Jia used to help with it, but now Guo Jiaren is still in Chenliu, and Huang Zhong also has his own things to do, so Luo Yang has to do this himself.
Solved it himself! Luo Yang nodded, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said: "Let's do it! Today Huang Xu will lead the troops to enforce martial law. There are scouts around the camp to prevent the enemy from coming to check the strength of our army! Place more places in the military camp.
Some torches!" He used a trick to scare Lu Bu away today, but in order to deceive Lu Bu for a few more days, Luo Yang had to deliberately create a sense of mystery so that Lu Bu could not grasp the truth in his camp!
After receiving Luo Yang's order, Li Yan immediately clasped his fists and shouted: "General, take your orders!" After that, Li Yan walked backwards to leave the tent.
"Li Yan!" Suddenly, Luo Yang called out to Li Yan. He was confused at the moment. Although he didn't have much hope, he couldn't help but asked Li Yan: "I have something to ask you.
Opinions!”
"Ah!" Li Yan was stopped by Luo Yang, and naturally he didn't dare to leave anymore. But when he heard Luo Yang's last words, he was stunned. Then, he felt overjoyed, this was a big deal.
What a great opportunity! If you can perform well in front of Luo Yang, wouldn't it be a smooth success in the future? Li Yan is also a human being. Water flows to lower places and people go to higher places. It's human nature! Li Yan immediately suppressed it.
With excitement in his heart, he clasped his fists at Luo Yang and shouted: "My lord, please do as you please! I will tell you everything you want to know!"
"Haha! Don't be so nervous, let's just treat it as a casual chat!" Luo Yang has much more experience in getting along with people than Li Yan, a young boy like him. How could he not see what Li Yan was thinking, and said with a smile:
"Let me ask you, if it were you, if we defeated Lu Bu, where would we go from now on?"
Although Luo Yang told Li Yan not to be nervous, how could Li Yan do it? After listening to Luo Yang's words word for word, Li Yan did not answer hastily, but thought about it in his mind, and finally raised his head.
He took a deep breath and said to Luo Yang: "My lord! If we can repel the Xiliang army this time, then there are only three ways in front of our lord! The first way is to use all our troops and horses, turn around and continue the attack.
Cao Cao! However, after the intervention of the Xiliang Army, Cao Cao must have been fully prepared. If the lord continues to attack Yanzhou at this time, I am afraid that he will get twice the result with half the effort! He may even end up in failure! And!
The second way is for the lord to lead the army back to Jingzhou, which means that the move to the north has failed! In this way, the lord's hard work will only be in vain, and the morale of our army will be hugely affected.
!It may even attract Sun Jian to take advantage of it!"
As Li Yan spoke, Luo Yang also kept nodding along. The two points Li Yan said were in line with Luo Yang's thoughts. That's why Luo Yang felt in a dilemma before. But listening to Li Yan's words, it seems that there is a third way.
You can go, which made Luo Yang couldn't help but become curious, and he quickly asked: "Li Yan, what about the third way you mentioned?"
Waiting for Luo Yang to finish asking this question, Li Yan took a deep breath again. This answer is related to his future future. Even if Li Yan has a calm temperament, he can't help but feel a little uneasy. Even if he calm down, he said to Luo Yang
: "Lord! In my opinion, this is the third way! It is to march west to Hangu Pass and capture Dong Zhuo!"
