Chapter 1240 Taking retreat as progress

In the Wei army, it was turned upside down by Wen Shun and Deng Ai in a moment, and it was a mess. Cao Pi was furious and wanted to attack Tangzhai, but at this time, Xun You came to persuade him.

"Your Highness, the other army's action is flexible and changeable, and there must be a master in charge. At present, our army is blunt and can't attack any more. It's better to withdraw first, wait until the whole army is completed, and then move on!"

When Cao Pi heard this, he immediately suppressed his anger and stared at Wen Shun and Deng Ai in front of the Tang army with great hatred. He gritted his teeth and ordered the withdrawal of the army. As soon as Cao Pi's order fell, the Wei army slowly withdrew. Xu Chu pressed behind the battle and stared at the people and horses in Tang Junzhai fiercely. Tang, a member, wanted to kill him, but Wen Shun crossed the gun, but shouted.

"There is Xu Zhongkang in the Wei army, and he can't be chased!!"

Wen Shun was not carried away by a momentary victory. Xu Chuhu was so powerful that it was rare for him to get a good one. When the generals heard the words, they also suppressed their murderous intentions. When the Wei army withdrew, Wen Shun quickly taught the troops to prepare, and at the same time taught people to closely guard the camp and prepare for the night attack of the other army. After the three armies were full at night, Wen Shun discussed with the generals and Xu Shu in the account.

Wang Shuang's face was slightly pale. Although Cao Zhang's sword broke his armor, the two fought with each other earlier. The power of the giant sword had gone seven or eight, and the armor hit another point. Wang Shuang's body was hardened by a bit of strength. Even so, Wang Shuang also suffered a lot of trauma. Fortunately, his bones were strong and did not break. After applying the gold medicine, the injury was much better. Wang Shuang gritted his teeth and said with hatred.

"If it hadn't been for Xu Zhongkang's sudden action today, I would have cut off the yellow-bearded general!! How can you be so humiliated!!"

When Deng Ai heard the words, his expression darkened and he said to Wen Shun.

"I heard Xu Zhongkang say that the yellow bearded young man is the third prince. Is that the third son of the Cao family, Cao Ziwen, known as the demon king of the mixed world?"

"The young general with yellow beard has good martial arts, exquisite swordsmanship, and natural magic power. It is very likely that he is this person. I heard that Cao Ziwen had fought with the generals of the Eastern Wu, which was extremely heroic and detered the heroes of the Eastern Wu. It's really extraordinary to see it today. If you encounter this person in the future, you should deal with it carefully.

Wen Shun nodded slightly. Today, although Wang Shuang almost fraudulently earned Cao Zhang, if not, at that time, the two met head-on, Cao Zhang had the upper hand. Within dozens of yuan, he would defeat Wang Shuang. When Wang Shuang heard the words, he was so indiff that he was about to open his mouth. Deng Ai stared at him fiercely. Wang Shuang's face tightened, and he knew that he was defeated today, which almost destroyed his army. His eyes showed a little guilt, so he kept silent.

At this time, a detailed report suddenly came, saying that 30,000 soldiers and horses came to the Wei army this time, led by Cao Pi, the son of the Great Wei Dynasty. Xu Chu and Cao Zhang were the generals, and Xun You was the military division of the army. When Wen Shun heard the words, he unconsciously frowned. This Xu Zhongkang was already extremely difficult, and in the Wei army, there was also a talented and talented Xun You who made a plan. He was afraid that the next war would be difficult to move. Xu Shu listened to the news and sighed.

"Today, I saw that the other army wanted to attack, but suddenly withdrew, and I knew that there must be a master in the other army. It turned out to be this Xun Gongda. This person has the wisdom of heaven and earth, and his ability will never harm the "ghost talent" Guo Jia and the poisoner "Jia Xu" of the State of Wei. At the same time, Xu Zhongkang is here. In this way, it is undoubtedly difficult for us to seize the witch city.

As soon as Xu Shu said this, everyone's faces changed and frowned one after another. Deng Ai looked solemn, sharp eyes, squinted and then loosened, and said in a condensed voice.

"Someone was puzzled. Cao Wei peeped at Xichuan, did not hesitate to break the alliance and compete with us in the Western Tang Dynasty, but why did he only sent 30,000 soldiers? Cao Cao stationed troops in Jiangling, with hundreds of thousands of troops, such as the transfer of heavy troops to drive in. At present, our Western Tang Dynasty and Shu Han troops, how can we resist? Could it be that what Cao Pi cited was only the first army, followed by the reinforcements of the Wei army!?

Deng Ai said that he was worried. When Wen Shun heard it, he immediately stared at the knife, but soon he pondered and looked at Xu Shu. Xu Shu nodded slightly with a smile on his face. He seemed to be very gratified by Wen Shun, and then replied.

"Don't worry about the taxi. In my opinion, Cao Cao will only allocate these 30,000 soldiers to attack Xichuan this time. In case, he will never transfer soldiers and horses again.

"Why did Duke Xu say this?"

Deng Ai's heart was shocked and he quickly asked. Xu Shu was not in a hurry and said slowly.

"At first, Cao Cao has been preparing for the Eastern Wu for a long time. He will definitely get the Eastern Wu Zhi. He will never give up halfway, which has enabled the Eastern Wu to breathe. Although the former part of the Eastern Wu Dynasty was defeated by Cao Cao, there are still 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers in China, and there are also strongholds on the Yangtze River, and their soldiers are good at water warfare. If heavy troops are allocated to Xichuan, it will definitely affect Wu Daye. Compared with the Eastern Wu, they wanted to take Xichuan, but the Wei army had to compete with the Western Tang and Shu Han. With Cao Cao's heroic temperament, he will first focus on attacking Wu Daye. Secondly, if Cao Wei allocates heavy troops, both the Western Tang and Shu and Han dynasties will increase their vigilance, which will make the war difficult.

It's like two hungry wolves fighting for food. Suddenly, there is a wolf roar in the distance, and another hungry wolf will fight in the future. The two hungry wolves in the previous fight thought that they still had the power to resist. Although they were on guard, they would not fight to the death. If at this time, it is not a hungry wolf, but a tiger. Both hungry wolves are afraid of becoming a tiger's prey, so what should it be?

As soon as Xu Shu said this, Deng Ai was smart and immediately understood the truth. He nods heavily, and most of the worries on his face had gone. Of course, Xu Shu still has a third reason, but there is no direct explanation. I'm afraid that Cao Cao saw that Wen Shun was attacking the northwest of Xichuan to prevent his own army from breaking in. Cao Cao thought that the child was incompetent, so he did not send a large number of soldiers. He thought that the 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Cao Pi, together with Xu Chu and Xun You, could defeat Wen Shun.

Then he taught Cao Pi to take the northwest of Xichuan first, thinking that it was based on it, and then took advantage of the defeat of Wenhan and Shu soldiers in Chengdu before taking advantage of the deficiency. Xu Shu was so talented that he could see the general idea at a glance. At this time, Wen Shun suddenly shook his head and smiled and said with Xu Shu.

"I'm afraid there is still one reason, but Xu Gong didn't say it directly. Cao Cao saw that we wanted to seize Jianping in order to prepare for the Wei army's sneak attack. Cao Cao didn't want to wait for us to stabilize his position, so he quickly sent troops and horses, but he bullied me when I was young and incompetent. He taught his son Cao Pi to defeat our army quickly, and then cheated Jianping as a basis for Xichuan.

As soon as Wen Shun said this, Deng Ai and Wang Shuang were all angry. Seeing that Wen Shun was so intelligent, Xu Shu couldn't help showing a burst of surprise. Wen Shun looked dark, but he was not angry, but asked Xu Shu calmly.

"The army is strong, and Xu Zhongkang and Xun Gongda are in charge, according to Xu Gong's opinion. What should I do?"

"Since the other army despises us, why don't Your Highness make a plan and withdraw to Yong'an first, so that the other army thinks that we are timid and arrogant. In this way, the other army will definitely show flaws. This is to retreat into the ear. We will guard the city and wait for the opportunity. At the same time, we will send people to inform the lord and teach him to prepare for the early.

Xu Shu's eyes were shining brightly. When Wen Shun heard the words, he also understood the truth, and he nod his head and wanted to respond. At this time, Deng Ai spoke and asked.

"But if our army withdraws and the other army is strong, what can we do?"

"You don't have to worry about this matter. If our army withdraws, if the Wei soldiers march, they will definitely protect the back road first and seize the witch city. At that time, the two armies competed with each other, but our army was waiting for work in Yong'an and ready to go. In this way, what is the thief afraid of?

Xu Shu's eyes suddenly became brighter. Deng Ai clearly realized that Xu Shu took retreat as a way forward. So after everyone agreed, Wen Shun quickly ordered the three armies to prepare their equipment, and immediately left at the fifth hour.

At the same time, in the Wei army's fortress. Cao Pi's face was calm, and a group of literary and martial arts sat in turn on both sides of the tent. Cao Pi narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

"The Tang thief is treacherous. Although it has been preserved for a while today, it will be broken when our army attacks the next day. Pass my order that the three armies should rest as soon as possible and refresh themselves. When the next day's decisive battle, we must try our best to move forward and break through the other army!!"

As soon as Cao Pi said this, the generals attended and took orders one after another. When the generals dispersed, Xun You calmed down and said to Cao Pi.

"Today, I see that the children of the literary family are extremely brave and good at fighting. They are not idle people. Moreover, according to the report of the Shu people, the army even made suggestions for Xu Yuanzhi. In tomorrow's battle, Your Highness still needs to be cautious. Don't be too hasty to miss big things.

As soon as Cao Pi heard this, a trace of anger flashed by. He and Wen Shun were both sons of the same country, and their fathers were old enemies. Cao Pi and Wen Shun have their own heart to compare. Nowadays, Xun You is suspected of growing other people's ambition to destroy his own prestige. Cao Pi naturally didn't like it when he heard it, but he pretended to be lustful.

"Gong Xun doesn't have to worry too much. I will be careful."

Xun You listened and nodded, so he discussed with Cao Pi how to fight tomorrow.

In the morning of the next day, the rising sun rose, and the sun was shining brightly. Cao Pi led another 20,000 troops and went straight to the Tang army's village, but found that there was no one in the Tang army. Cao Pi's face tightened, and he rushed into the village. He saw that there were still many wheels, horseshoes and footprints in the village, which were staggered, and it was expected that it should be withdrawn soon. Cao Pi snorted coldly and was about to order the three armies to attack and go to cover up. At this time, Xun You said to Cao Pi.

"Although the other army withdraws, we can't take it lightly. If there is an ambush, what if it is?"

When Cao Pi heard the words, he smiled disdainfully and said coldly.

"Cun Gong is too worried. I think the child of the literary family must be timid and know that it is difficult to resist the general trend of our army, so he retreated. At present, attack it quickly to defeat the other army.

"No! If you march, Your Highness should take the Witch City first to protect the way back. Otherwise, once our army is defeated, the Shu soldiers will intercept it in Wucheng, and our army will be destroyed!!"

When Xun You saw that Cao Pi was eager to march, he was in a hurry and persuaded him. Although Cao Pi was eager to defeat Wen Shun, he also knew the reason of what Xun You said, and thought that Wen Shun was already scared and would be defeated sooner or later, so he looked down and asked Xun You.

"What Xun Gong said is very true. But the Shu soldiers shrink in the city, how to get it!?"

Xun You's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have a plan for a long time. He whispered to Cao Pi.

"This matter has been made up. Your Highness first occupied the village, and then took back the soldiers and horses of the village. When he saw me and others to take back the soldiers and horses of the village, he must relax. But I have been teaching a fine school like this. The witch city can be broken."

Xun You said a plan at the moment. Cao Pi was overjoyed when he heard the words, so he followed Xun You's plan and ordered each other. Therefore, Cao Pi first took the Tang army's village and then transferred back the soldiers and horses guarding the back village.

That night, Xiang Chong was in the city. Hearing the report from the scout, the Tang army had already withdrawn. At noon, Cao Pi transferred all the soldiers and horses from the back village, as if he wanted to march on a large march. When Xiang Chong heard the words, he was very determined, but he did not dare to relax. He taught the scouts to go to explore again. At the third hour, Xiang Chong had not yet fallen asleep and waited for the news in the county government office. Suddenly, there were shouts of killing in the distance, and the sound of fighting was like the collapse of the sky and the earth. Xiang Chong was shocked and suddenly waited for an urgent return. It was said that the Dazhai taken by the Wei army today was attacked, and it was suspected that the Tang army returned to attack. Hearing this, the panic on his face suddenly dissipated, and he sneered and slandered in his heart.

"The people of Tang and Wei are all tigers and wolves. It's better to kill both sides!"

Xiang Chong was in a good mood when he heard this news, so he rewarded him again to report the ward, and then turned back to the back hall to rest. The next day, Xiang Chong sent a scout to explore. At noon, the scout was reported that the Wei army was in a mess, and there were many soldiers in the village who roared and cried. I think the war was extremely fierce last night. Xiang Chong heard that although the Wei army could still protect the fortress, in the battle last night, the Tang army suddenly attacked. The Wei army was unprepared. With its strong strength to defeat the other army, it must have suffered heavy casualties. Although the Tang army took advantage of the surprise attack, it also lost a lot. Xiang Chong was overjoyed. He couldn't wait for the two armies to fight against each other and exhaust their troops. In this way, Wucheng could have no worries. For the next few days, the Wei army did not dare to move rashly because of the previous surprise attack. There is no concern for the pet.
