    To the east of Shaanxi County, the Chu army camp.

    In the king's tent, Yan Liang was examining the map with great interest.

    His gaze is no longer limited to Hongnong, but to the west of Guanzhong and to the north of Bingzhou.

    The people in Shaanxi City are in great chaos, and countless people are coming to surrender from across the city.

    Hongnong Huang Zhong held on well, but Cao Cao's attack was unfavorable and his morale was also dampened.

    The balance of victory has completely tilted towards Yan Liang. What he has to do now is to launch the most powerful blow against Shaanxi County tomorrow and completely eliminate Cao Cao's 30,000 elites.

    Once Shaanxi County falls, Cao Cao will inevitably retreat to Tongguan. At that time, the entire Hongnong County will be occupied by Yan Liang.

    After taking possession of Hongnong, Yan Liang could cross the Yellow River north and capture Hedong, cutting off the connection between Bingzhou and Guanzhong, and cutting off Cao Cao's arm.

    Then, there are Hanzhong, Nanyang, Hongnong and Hedong. The four armies are attacking the key point together. Yan Liang does not believe that with Cao Cao's current strength, he can still block the full-line attack of his hundreds of thousands of troops.

    Of course, the prerequisite for all strategies is that Yan Liang can successfully annihilate Le Jin's troops tomorrow.

    According to detailed intelligence, the people of Shaanxian County have long been shattered, and the reputation of a veteran like Le Jin has begun to lose control of the situation.

    According to this situation, who can stop the torrent of the Chu army in the battle tomorrow?

    "Your Majesty, there is a new situation in Shaanxi City." Pang Tong hurried in.

    "Say." Yan Liang stared at the map without looking back.

    Pang Tong cupped his hands and said, "Just now, I came to report from the front line of Xiying. The west gate of Shaanxi City suddenly opened wide. Lejin drove all the people in the city out. Ziqin and the others questioned him. Those people all said that Lejin drove them out in order to save food and grass.  Out of town."

    Yan Liang turned his head sharply, with a bit of doubt in his eyes.

    Driving the people away to save food.  This makes sense, and shows that Le Jin wants to stick to it.

    But according to the previous situation, the food and grass in Zhongbao Village in Shaanxian County was enough to feed the soldiers and civilians of the city for more than half a year. It has only been besieged for a month. Is it necessary to rush the people out of the city just to save food?

    and.  The military in the city was already in a state of panic. If they were to start a war to drive the people out of the city, it would inevitably cause another commotion.  This makes the already unstable military morale even worse.

    With all the disadvantages, with Le Jin¡¯s ability, couldn¡¯t he see the disadvantages?

    In Yan Liang¡¯s heart.  More suspicious.  When he looked at Pang Tong again, Pang Tong smiled slightly, as if he had seen something.

    "Military advisor, do you also think Le Jin's move is suspicious?" Yan Liang said.

    Pang Tong coughed dryly and smiled slowly: "I think that Le Jin's move is on the surface to clamor to hold on, but in fact it is probably to attract our attention. In order to prepare for his next step of abandoning the city and fleeing.  ¡±

    What Pang Tong said coincides with what Yan Liangliang thought.

    Yan Liang sneered: "It seems that Cao Cao is not confident in taking down Hongnong. He is planning to protect Le Jin's troops. Which direction does the military advisor think Le Jin plans to escape from?"

    Pang Tong turned his eyes to the map, stroking his beard and thinking about it carefully.

    After a while, Pang Tong said: "Le Jin wanted to flee to Guanzhong, so he naturally took the west gate, which is closest. Moreover, he drove the people out, most likely because he wanted to use the people as human shields to cover his army's breakout from behind."

    As Pang Tong said, Cao Cao's behavior was in line with his ruthless nature.

    When he attacked Xuzhou, didn¡¯t he slaughter Xuzhou¡¯s blood into a river? When Yanzhou was short of food, didn¡¯t he also use preserved human meat as military rations?

    Now he wants to protect the 30,000 soldiers and horses that Lejin has entered, and it is normal for the people to open the way.

    But, is Cao Cao¡¯s strategy really that simple?

    Yan Liang did not agree with Pang Tong's judgment, but turned to look at the map, his eyebrows slightly condensed, and he thought secretly in his heart.

    To the south of Shaanxi City, there are vast mountains. If Le Jin escaped from the south gate, he would have to flee to the mountains and become a savage. Unless Le Jin was insane, he would never be able to escape south.

    As for the east, not to mention, the east is the main camp of his Chu army. It would be better to just wipe his neck when escaping from the east gate.

    Escape from the west seems to be the best option, and Le Jin uses the people as human shields, which also exposes his intentions.

    Yan Liang knew Cao Cao well, but he didn't believe he would make Le Jin do this.

    Finally, Yan Liang¡¯s eyes moved to the north bank.

    A few miles north of Shaanxi County is the Shaanxi-Tianjin Ferry. From this ferry crossing the Yellow River to the north, there is Dayang City where Xu Huang is stationed.

    It¡¯s almost summer, with constant rains and surging water in the Yellow River. The risk of crossing the river is doubled than in the past.?Even Yan Liang's fleet of vehicles and ships did not dare to enter the waters of Shaanxi and Tianjin in order to avoid the risk of capsizing.

    Because of this, Yan Liang did not deploy heavy troops on the Beicheng front line.

    But now, the situation has changed, and Le Jin wants to escape. So, is it possible that he would choose to risk crossing the river from Shaanxi and Jin?

    "Yes, it will definitely happen. Cao Cao is also a gambler, so he will definitely do this." Yan Liang took a picture of the map and concluded without thinking too much.

    Pang Tongshen was startled and looked at Yan Liang in confusion.

    Yan Liang did not explain, and immediately said: "It was just a pretext that Le Jin drove the people out of the west gate. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to escape from the north gate, cross the Yellow River from Shaanxi and Jin, and flee to the north bank of the river. He quickly conveyed the king's order to Gan Xingba and Zhu.  Xiu Mu, immediately lead 30,000 troops to reinforce the northern camp, and be sure to block the fleeing enemies for me."

    Hearing what Yan Liang said, Pang Tong suddenly realized. He suddenly realized that he immediately planned to pass the order.

    At this moment, Zhou Cang rushed in and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the North Camp is reporting urgently. Na Lejin suddenly led an army of 30,000 people out of the city. Our troops in the North Camp were weak and failed to stop the enemy's breakthrough. Now Le Jin  Already fled to Shaanxi."

    Sure enough, the urgent report in front of him confirmed Yan Liang's speculation.

    Unexpectedly, Le Jin¡¯s movements were really fast.

    Yan Liang suddenly had murderous intent. He took the Qinglong Sword into his hand and said sternly: "Go and prepare your horse quickly. I want to go to Shaanxi and Jin personally to pursue the enemy thieves."

    While speaking, Yan Liang strode out of the tent, jumped onto the red rabbit horse, and galloped towards the north.

    The camps were immediately mobilized, and tens of thousands of soldiers hurried out of the camp, following Yan Liang, rushing in all directions towards Shaanxi and Jin in the north.

    Fifteen miles away, Shaanxi and Tianjin.

    Lejin stationed at Madutou, looking at the rolling Yellow River in the distance, and then looking back at the outline of Shaanxi City, his face was filled with sadness.

    Having lost Shaanxian County, lost Hongnong City, and lost his beloved son, now he has abandoned the city and fled in despair. Le Wenqian's reputation is like the water of the Yellow River, gone forever.

    "Yan Liang is a thief. I, Le Jin, will repay you for killing your son sooner or later. Just wait." Le Jin gritted his teeth in hatred.

    The soldiers of Cao Cao who were crowded on the ferry had no time to hate Yan Liang.

    These frightened soldiers looked at the other side in the distance, anxiously hoping that a ship would come to rescue them from the other side.

    Just yesterday, Cao Cao sent people to sneak into Shaanxi City, and Le Jin issued an order to abandon Shaanxi City and preserve its strength.

    Cao Cao claimed in the order that he had ordered Xu Huang on the north bank to send a ship to pick up their defeated army to cross north at the agreed time today. All Le Jin needed to do was to lead the army and arrive at the Shaanxi-Jin ferry in time.

    "The boat is coming, there is a boat coming from the other side." Some sharp-eyed people in the crowd shouted.

    The crowded soldiers soon burst into cheers, and Cao Jun seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.

    Le Jin raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and sure enough he saw the faint shadows of a large number of boats on the other side, bumping toward the ferry.

    But when the so-called "ship shadow" struggled to cross the surging river, Le Jin was surprised to see that it was not a boat at all, but rows of bamboo rafts.

    Le Jin then remembered that the Yellow River was no better than the Yangtze River. The current here was too fast and the boats could easily be overturned by the waves. Only bamboo rafts could barely carry them across.

    However, how can a person stay stable on the bamboo rafts surrounded by nothing? If a wave comes, will he be thrown into the Yellow River?

    On the ferry, Cao Jun, who was originally full of hope, soon became disappointed and shocked.

    Not long after, the bamboo rafts finally arrived at the Shaanxi-Jin ferry. However, no one from Cao's army on the ferry dared to get on the raft.

    Even Le Jin himself seemed a little hesitant.

    During this moment of hesitation, dust and mist suddenly rose from the south direction, and the sound of rumbling iron hooves came from the sky and the earth cracked.

    Le Jin looked back and was surprised to see countless Chu troops on foot and cavalry, rolling in like a sandstorm.

    "Oh no, I didn't expect that Yan thief to react so quickly and send his pursuers so quickly!" Le Jin was shocked.

    On the ferry, Cao Jun was also panicked.

    At the critical moment of life and death, they have the opportunity to hesitate again.

    Le Jin gritted his teeth, separated the troops, jumped onto the bamboo raft first, and shouted sternly: "The bandit army is behind, if you don't want to die, get on the bamboo raft for me!"

    " Such a drink immediately woke up the hesitant Cao Jun.

    They risked crossing the river on a bamboo raft, and there was still a glimmer of hope. If the Chu army caught up with them, they would be doomed.

      Having figured this out, Sergeant Cao no longer hesitated. He immediately pushed me and rushed towards the bamboo rafts on the beach.

    "As soon as this happened, the beach suddenly became a mess.

    Based on the number of bamboo rafts, they were originally enough for all 30,000 Cao Cao's troops to cross the river. However, they crowded with each other and lost order. Instead, they blocked each other and could not board the bamboo rafts smoothly.

    Le Jin, who was on the row first, didn¡¯t care much and hurriedly got off the bamboo raft full of people and immediately left the shore and sailed towards the north shore.

    Of the 30,000 Cao troops, less than 20,000 were barely in the ranks. While the remaining 10,000 troops were still fighting for it, a large number of Chu troops were already chasing them.

    Cao Jun, who was only trying to escape, didn't even have a chance to resist, and was killed wantonly by the Chu army's cavalry.

    The soldiers of the Chu army, who had a fierce murderous intention, slashed down mercilessly with their sabers, slaughtering the chaotic enemies to their heart's content. In just a moment, the beach line was dyed into a bloody pool of blood.

    In order to escape the execution of the Chu army, tens of thousands of Cao's troops fled into the Yellow River like crazy before they had time to board the platoon, only to be swept away by the flood without a trace in the blink of an eye.

    Le Jin, who had already entered the river, gritted his teeth with hatred and was heartbroken when he saw his soldiers die such a tragic and humiliating death.

    Le Jin¡¯s pain has just begun.

    A large number of Chu army infantry also chased to the bank at this time. Yan Liang rode his horse on the bank, pointed his sword at the enemies on the Yellow River, and shouted loudly: "Fire arrows for me, the king, and kill these enemy invaders fiercely!"  (To be continued)
