    Hearing Guo Jia say that he had a plan and that he could use it to defeat Yanliang, Cao Cao's depressed expression suddenly brightened.

    "I don't know what's the trick to show filial piety?" Cao Cao asked.

    Guo Jia said unhurriedly: "Yan Liang wants to force us to withdraw our troops, so we might as well just withdraw our troops and pretend to be returning north in a hurry. Yan Liang will definitely take advantage of the situation to pursue us, and our army will have the opportunity to counterattack. Yan Liang  That bitch will be defeated."

    Guo Jia told him his plan, and Cao Cao nodded in agreement.

    After thinking over and over again, Cao Cao had no choice but to adopt Guo Jia's plan.

    In order to create the illusion of a hasty withdrawal of troops, Cao Cao spread the word to the outside world that the grain road in Longxi was blocked, and the grain road in Chencang was muddy due to rain, making transportation inconvenient and the transportation volume dropped sharply. Under all the disadvantages, the soldiers of the battalion began to  There were signs of escape.

    Two days after the news was released, Cao Cao evacuated Jiameng at night, and several armies retreated along the Western Han River towards Yangping Pass.

    The information about Cao Cao's withdrawal was quickly reported to Guancheng. When the officers and soldiers in Guanzhong heard the news, they were all excited and excited.

    Especially the more than 10,000 soldiers under Yan Yan's command, when they learned the news of Cao's army's retreat, they were so excited that tears filled their eyes.

    It¡¯s no wonder that when Yan Liang massacred Liu Zhang and Meng Huo in the south, Yan Yan¡¯s 10,000 soldiers were at Jiameng Pass, struggling to withstand Cao¡¯s attack several times over for several months with their own strength.

    Now, Cao Jun finally retreated, and the soldiers felt that the sharp sword hanging tightly above their heads was finally withdrawn. How could they not be extremely excited?

    After the excitement, suppressed anger burst out.

    "My lord, Cao's traitors and soldiers are on the run. They are running out of food and grass, and the morale of the army is in great chaos. Now that they are retreating in a hurry, why don't our troops take advantage of the situation to pursue them and defeat Cao's army in one fell swoop?"

    In the lobby, the angry Yan Yan was the first to cry out for war, wanting to turn his defense into an attack in order to repay his hatred for being oppressed by Cao's army for several months.

    The veteran general called for war with great enthusiasm, and the other fierce generals.  They were all excited and asked for a fight.

    In an instant, Xunxun had murderous intent.  There was a crazy surge in the lobby.

    Of course Yan Liang also wants to fight, and the one who wants to fight the most is actually him. He is eager to determine the outcome in one battle and drive Cao Cao, his old enemy, out of Yizhou completely.

    But at this time Yan Liang.  But he was not infected by the anger of the generals.  Even though he was equally excited, he still remained somewhat calm.

    " If it were Liu Zhang and his like who were withdrawing their troops, Yan Liang would pursue them without hesitation, but now his opponent is Cao Cao, a treacherous and cunning hero. To deal with such an enemy, we must not easily use common sense to infer.

    "Military advisor, now that Cao Cao has finally retreated to the north, do you think Gu should take advantage of the situation and pursue him?" Yan Liang turned his attention to his mastermind.

    Pang Tong pondered for a moment, stroking his beard and said: "Of course we have to pursue. Otherwise, if our army is guarding Guancheng, how can we take advantage of the situation and capture Hanzhong? However, this pursuit must be divided into vigorous pursuit and steady pursuit."

    interesting.

    Yan Liang nodded slightly and signaled Pang Tong to continue.

    "Cao Cao is familiar with the art of war, and he has a wise man like Guo Jia under his command. Cao Cao should know very well that if he withdraws his troops in a hurry, if our army takes advantage of the situation and pursues him, he will be in danger of the collapse of his entire army. If this is the case, how can Cao Cao still choose to rush?  What about withdrawing to the north?" Pang asked in unison, full of doubts.

    Yan Liang nodded slightly. Apparently, what Pang Tong said was quite consistent with his speculation.

    "So we all believe that Cao Cao's so-called hasty withdrawal of troops is mostly a trick to lure the enemy. If our army blindly pursues it, it will definitely fall into his trick." Pang Tong made a decisive conclusion.

    Yan Liang nodded and said: "What the military advisor said is very consistent with Gu Yi's intention. How can we pursue steadily if we are not pursuing endlessly?"

    "It will be easy to pursue steadily." Pang Tong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Cao Cao withdrew his troops for thirty miles, and we followed him for twenty miles. We followed him but did not engage him in battle. We camped step by step, approaching Yangping Pass little by little.  . In this way, there is no need to worry about falling into Cao Cao's trick of luring the enemy, and the army can advance towards Hanzhong, firmly holding the initiative in our hands. "

    Pang Tong spoke eloquently about what he called a steady pursuit strategy.

    Yan Liang pondered for a moment and said happily: "Okay, just follow the military advisor's instructions. Let's camp step by step, slowly go north, and slowly bid farewell to our Prime Minister Cao along the way."

    The plan has been decided, and all 60,000 troops have left the border and followed Cao's army north along the Western Han River.

    Cao Jun, who was going north, did not retreat all the way looking at the wind. Instead, he maintained a speed of fifty miles a day and slowly looked north and retreated.

    But what you saw along the way were all the flags, drums, and armor discarded by Cao's army, giving people the impression of fleeing in embarrassment, abandoning their helmets and armor.?.

    The number of military stoves left in Cao Cao's camp was also decreasing day by day. All signs showed that Cao Jun's army was in chaos and his soldiers were fleeing crazily.

    Yan Liang had to admit that Cao Cao had already done a good job. If it had been anyone with insufficient intelligence or armchair tactics to lead the army, he would have been unable to suppress the urge to win and would have gone after Cao Cao in one go.  .

    It¡¯s a pity that Cao Cao¡¯s opponent is Yan Liang, and Guo Jia¡¯s opponent is Pang Tong.

    Yan Liang has long expected that Cao Cao is a tactic to lure the enemy. You can let Cao Cao do whatever you want. Anyway, he is determined not to pursue you, but to follow you step by step to see how long you can retreat.

    Cao Cao, who gave up Yinping and Baishui Pass and retreated two hundred miles in a row, tried his best, but in the end he still couldn't tempt Yan Liang to take the bait.

    At this time, Cao Cao knew that his wishful thinking had failed.

    Cao Cao, whose strategy failed, could only stop retreating and set up camp before retreating to Yangping Pass.

    Because once his army retreats into Yangping Pass, it will be equivalent to admitting the failure of the strategy of attacking Shuzhong from the south, and switching from strategic attack to strategic defense.

    At that time, the morale of the people in Hanzhong was bound to be shaken, and he gave up the initiative in this war to Yan Liang.

    Cao Cao stopped retreating, and Yan Liang also stopped pursuing, and then set up camp on the banks of the Western Han River, fifteen miles away from Cao's camp, forming a confrontation in the south.

    " Baishui Pass has been won by Yan Liang without a fight, which means that the territory from Yinping City to Qiaotou, from Qiaotou to Baishui Pass, and then from Baishui Pass to Jiameng Pass has been included in Yan Liang's territory.

    That day, Deng Ai accomplished a remarkable feat.  He rushed to the camp from Baishui Pass and came to meet Yan Liang.

    Yan Liang then set up a celebration banquet in the big tent.  In order to reward his adopted son, who was both wise and brave, he achieved extraordinary feats in the first battle and became famous all over the world.

    "Father, now that our army has captured Yinping and Baishui, and forced Cao Cao back, as soon as the siege of Jiameng is relieved, why not take advantage of the situation to launch a general offensive. Defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop and capture Hanzhong!" Deng Ai, who had succeeded in the first battle, became more ambitious.

    Deng Ai¡¯s courage is commendable.  But this time, Yan Liang did not encourage him, but smiled and said nothing.

    "Although Cao Cao fell into our scheme and lost ground one after another, his main army was not damaged at all. The number of Cao Cao's troops currently confronting us is at least 70,000. Our army's strength is comparable to that of Cao Cao. We want to defeat Cao Cao in one battle.  It¡¯s not an easy task,¡± Pang Tong explained with a smile.

    "Well, it turns out that's the case." Deng Ai was silent for a moment, and then said: "If that's the case, then why don't we make a plan to divert Cao Cao away from the mountain. Then launch a general attack."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????

    These four words reminded Yan Liang in his mind.  Suddenly an idea occurred to me.

    Of course Yan Liang knew that Deng Ai's words were said casually, but they really inspired him.

    "Military advisor, Xiaozhi, Gu suddenly thought of a plan, do you think it's feasible?" A mysterious look appeared on Yan Liang's eyebrows.

    The two counselors were all ears.

    Yan Liang then slowly told them his strategy.

    After Pang Tong and Fazheng heard this, they looked at each other with surprise in their expressions.

    Fazheng cupped his hands and said: "My lord's vision is indeed broad. This strategy is indeed a clever one. As the saying goes, the only way to attack the enemy is to save them, so they have to defend themselves."

    "My lord, if this plan is paired with two suitable generals, it will be more effective." When Pang Tong added, his eyes were already hinting at the generals in front of the tent.

    The two top counselors both agreed with this plan, so Yan Liang had nothing to worry about.

    At that moment, Yan Liang shouted: "Generals Ma Ziyue and Pang Lingming will obey your orders!"

    ¡­¡­

    Cao Ying.

    Cao Cao was very depressed.

    He did not expect that Yan Liang, who was once arrogant, would become so cautious now. He spent all his acting skills and directed the drama of escaping in a hurry, but Yan Liang was not fooled.

    Baishui Pass has also been lost, and Yinping cannot be recaptured. Today, more than 70,000 troops are stuck between Yangping Pass and Jiameng Pass. They can neither attack nor retreat. The situation is quite embarrassing.

    Today's Cao Cao seems to feel the difficulty of being unable to advance or retreat in the Battle of Nanyang.

    In the central military tent, Cao Cao looked at the latest intelligence with suspicion in his eyes.

    Since recently, there has been no movement in the Yan camp to the south. Yan Liang, who has taken the initiative, has not even implemented the previous harassment tactics, as if it fell into silence overnight.

    Yan LiangyueAs he stood still, Cao Cao felt a chill on his back. He vaguely felt that Yan Liang, who was standing still, was quietly brewing some kind of conspiracy.

    Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia in front of the tent, as if he wanted to seek his opinion.

    Guo Jia, however, avoided Cao Cao's eyes and continued to remain silent. After all, Cao Cao's previous failed plan had caused Cao Cao to lose Baishui Pass. Although Cao Cao did not blame him, Guo Jia blamed himself and was embarrassed to speak without permission.

    The atmosphere in the big tent was dull.

    At this moment, rapid footsteps sounded, and Liu Ye hurried in with a solemn look on his face.

    Seeing Liu Ye's hurried look, Cao Cao was shocked and had a vague premonition of something ominous.

    "To report to the Prime Minister, Zhang Ji, the governor of Longxi, has urgently reported that the Yan army, Ma Dai and General Pang De, led 30,000 cavalry from Dazhong to Longxi County and headed straight for Didao City. Please send troops to rescue as soon as possible."

    As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Cao Cao stood up in shock, with shock on his scorched face.

    "No wonder Yan Liang has been holding back his troops. It turns out that he secretly sent troops from Yinping County to the north and secretly invaded our Longxi County!" Xun You said in shock.

    "Longxi County has less than a few thousand soldiers, which is not enough to protect itself. Both Ma Dai and Pang De are old generals of Xiliang. Yan Liang used these two to attack Longxi, clearly hoping to recruit the old Qiang Han troops. If Longxi is lost, the entire West  The cold will not be guaranteed!" Liu Ye also said in a deep voice.

    "This handsome thief actually wants to covet Liangzhou, he has such a big appetite!" Cao Cao struck hard with his fist, his face full of shock and anger.
