    The Chu army finally withdrew!

    "Yang Aiqing, your plan succeeded. The Chu army was forced to retreat by me." Cao Pi was so excited that his voice was a little hoarse.

    Not long after the joy of proclaiming himself emperor, Cao Pi has been deeply worried.

    He was worried that he did not have the ability to block Yan Liang's almost invincible military front with the power of one state.

    How many times in his dreams did Cao Pi dream of the tragic scene of being tortured to death for Yan Liang after he failed. This kept him in fear all day long, fearing that one day the dream would come true.

    But now, the Chu army has retreated, and all his worries are gone.

    "The Chu army has retreated, so we can take advantage of the situation to pursue, defeat the Yan bandits, and recover Longxi in one fell swoop. If possible, it would be better to recover Guanzhong as well." Zhu Shuo said excitedly.

    "Although the Chu army retreated, our army should still focus on safety and not pursue without authorization." Yang Fu was very calm.

    Zhu Shuo said: "Yan Liang retreated today, and he will come back sooner or later. Our army can only capture Longxi, or even recapture Guanzhong, and drive Yan Liang out of the east of Tongguan. Only in this way can we be truly safe."

    Yang Fu fell silent. Although he did not agree, he did not object to Zhu Shuo's suggestion.

    Cao Pi was so excited that he immediately prepared to give an order to Wang Shuang, ordering him to pursue the Chu army with a large army and severely defeat the Chu army.

    At this time, Yang Fu hurriedly said: "The Yan thief has always been cunning. His withdrawal may be just a trick to lure the enemy. I believe that before it is confirmed that the Chu army has indeed withdrawn, it is not appropriate to blindly launch a pursuit to avoid being caught by the Yan thief."  plan."

    Cao Pi's heart was shocked, and his head was filled with blood.  He immediately calmed down.

    After pondering for a moment, Cao Pi said: "Yang Aiqing's words are reasonable. How could I easily fall into Yan Thief's plan? Send an order to Wang Shuang, ordering him to closely monitor the Chu army's movements and report to me at any time. After I have found out the truth,  Do the measurement again.¡±

    Cao Pi is not stupid. Over the years, the Cao family has suffered many losses from Yan Liang and been tricked by Yan Liang many times.  How could he forget these lessons? Now he would not be easily fooled.

    At that moment, Cao Pi passed down the decree.  Wang Shuang was ordered to lead 15,000 iron cavalry, follow the Chu army, and slowly follow up to conduct surveillance.

    Cao Pi himself led the expedition in person and led 15,000 cavalry behind.  Be ready to support Wang Shuang at any time.

    Within a few days.  The Chu army retreated from Lingju to Yunjie, and from Yunjie to Zhiyang. When the armies retreated, they all moved Dingkou along the way to Longxi.

    The move of the Chu army to relocate the people made Cao Pi begin to believe that Yan Liang was indeed planning to withdraw his troops, otherwise he would move the local people away.  A large area of ??uninhabited land was left, making it impossible for the Chu army to obtain food locally.  Recruiting Dingfu is asking for trouble.

    Soon after, Wang Shuang personally arrived at Lingju City at night, met with Cao Pi, and brought Cao Pi even more exciting news.

    Wang Shuang interrogated the straggler Chu soldiers captured sporadically. The reason why Yan Liang withdrew his troops was, on the one hand, because the food route was seriously disturbed and the logistics were not suitable. On the other hand, there was news from Guandong that Liu Bei was massing troops.  Want to take the opportunity to go south and invade the Central Plains.

    It was these two reasons that forced Yan Liang to temporarily give up the annihilation of Qin and withdraw his troops eastward to the Central Plains to deal with Liu Bei.

    "Your Majesty, the Yan bandits are short of food and grass, and the Central Plains is in danger. It is no doubt that we have to withdraw our troops as a last resort. I would like to ask your Majesty to allow me to lead the army to attack. Taking advantage of the unstable morale of the army, we can defeat the Yan bandits in one fell swoop and recover Longxi."

    Wang Shuang was so excited that he asked Cao Pi for a battle.

    Cao Pi¡¯s eyebrows were deeply condensed, his eyes were flashing with excitement, and he looked eager to fight.

    "Your Majesty, this is a God-given opportunity. If we miss this opportunity and the Rongyan thieves can calmly retreat to Longxi, then it will be difficult for us to attack again." Zhu Shuo also urged the battle urgently.

    Cao Pi looked at Yang Fu, his eyes seeming to ask Yang Fu for his opinion.

    After all, at this time, only Yang Fu was the most resourceful in the Qin State, and Cao Pi only dared to make this decision based on what he wanted.

    Yang Fu, who had been silent, took a few deep breaths and said slowly: "Since all the information is like this, I think we can fight."

    As soon as these words came out, the remaining suspicion on Cao Pi's face disappeared in an instant, leaving only the murderous intention of hunting.

    "Zi Quan, I order you to lead the cavalry of the front army and launch an attack on the bandit army at any time. You must defeat the bandit army for me and recover Longxi." Cao Pi patted Wang Shuang's whole body and said earnestly.

    Wang Shuang cupped his hands and said with emotion: "I have received your majesty's kindness. I will do my best in this battle to kill the traitor without leaving a trace, regain Longxi, and welcome your majesty back to the old capital."

    ForCao Pi was deeply satisfied with Wang Shuang's statement, so he asked Wang Shuang to set off immediately and go to the front army to command the pursuit.

    Wang Shuang accepted the order with great enthusiasm and strode out of the tent.

    Looking at Wang Shuang's leaving figure, a sneer gradually appeared on Cao Pi's eyebrows, and he murmured: "Yan thief, Yan thief, I am not comparable to my father Cao Cao. This time, I will let you taste defeat."  What will it be like to be under my command, hehe~~"

    ¡­¡­

    Three days later, on the north bank of the Yellow River.

    Yan Liang stood on his horse and looked from a distance. Opposite the river on the south bank is where Jincheng County is located.

    At the river beach, large numbers of Chu soldiers were boarding rafts in an orderly manner and crossing the river to Jincheng County on the south bank.

    When the army crosses the Yellow River, the surging river water will cut off the north-south road, and the Chu army will be completely free from the harassment of the Qin army's light cavalry.

    "Attack him halfway across the river. If the Qin army pursues him, this is the perfect time." Yan Liang sighed happily.

    Xu Shu, who was standing next to him, said, "I'm afraid that Wang Shuang won't come to pursue us. If so, our army's retreat will be in vain."

    Although the plan to fake a retreat was proposed by Xu Shu, seeing that Wang Shuang had not pursued for several days, Xu Shu began to doubt his plan.

    Yan Liang sneered and said decisively: "Don't worry, Yuan Zhi, Wang Shuang will definitely come after him."

    Yan Liang¡¯s affirmative tone seemed to know Wang Shuang¡¯s character like the back of his hand.

    In other words, Yan Liang, who is familiar with history, knows Wang Shuang well.

    This man was recommended by Cao Zhen in history. He killed several generals of Zhuge Liang and severely damaged the Shu army. He was indeed a rare and fierce general in Cao's army.

    But the shortcoming of this fierce general was that he was brave and reckless. Historically, he fell into Zhuge Liang's trick of luring the enemy and was killed by an ambush.

    Yan Liang firmly believed that there was a great opportunity to kill the enemy in front of him. With Wang Shuang's nature, he would never miss this good opportunity.

    Moreover, if Cao Pi wants to keep his one-third of the land in the northwest, he must also capture Longxi. Therefore, taking advantage of the situation to pursue Yan Liang's retreating troops will be his only chance to recapture Longxi.

    All these factors made Yan Liang conclude that Wang Shuang would definitely pursue him.

    Xu Shu frowned secretly. As the person who came up with this plan, Xu Shu himself was a little unsure, but the emperor was so sure of it. This made Xu Shu curious about Yan Liang's confidence.

    At this moment, Hu Che'er rushed over and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, the scouts from the north are reporting that there are a large number of Qin army cavalry rushing towards the ferry."

    The Qin army is indeed here!

    Xu Shu's body was shaken, and he looked at Yan Liang in surprise: "Wang Shuang really fell into the trap and came here. Your Majesty is really good at predicting events."

    Yan Liang, however, remained indifferent and only sneered: "Pass the order and ask the soldiers at the ferry to cross the river quickly. This play must be performed more realistically for Wang Shuang."

    After the decree was passed, the tens of thousands of soldiers crowded at the ferry quickly became crowded and began to scramble for the boats and rafts in a somewhat chaotic manner.

    Zhu Huan was ordered to lead more than 5,000 troops and horses, and hastily formed a formation to prepare to meet the enemy.

    The situation on the entire riverbank seemed tense for a moment, and the Chu army seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

    Yan Liang stood still, looking calmly at the north road, as if he didn't even pay attention to the disadvantageous situation in front of him.

    Looking into the distance with an eagle's eye, he saw that to the north, dust was billowing all over the sky, just like black clouds sweeping over the sky and covering the earth.

    It was summer time at this time, and there would be no sandstorms at all. Who could create such a momentum, besides a huge cavalry regiment, what else could there be.

    Yan Liang's razor-sharp gaze extended into the distance, and gradually, the dark, ghostly figure came into his eyes.

    Five miles away, Wang Shuang was galloping on his horse.

    Behind him, fifteen thousand Xiliang cavalry were charging forward like tigers and wolves.

    The king raised his eyes again and looked into the distance, but he saw the roaring Yellow River right in front of him. Countless Chu troops were crowding on the river beach, and a military formation with uneven flags was blocking the front of the avenue, as if trying to block his way.  Rush the way.

    All the signs are on the surface. The Chu army that was crossing the river was completely unprepared for the fact that he led his army to attack. At this moment, he was in a disadvantageous state of hastily responding to the battle.

    Seeing such a situation, Wang Shuang couldn't help but sneer with disdain at the corners of his mouth.

    "Is this the legendary Yan Liang? I think it's nothing more than that. If the late emperor had used me earlier, why would I have been harmed by Yan Liang?"

    Today is the time for me, Wang Shuang, to become famous all over the world!

    Wang Shuang¡¯s mind has begun to outline, he fought until the Chu army was in pieces, and everyone in the world was shocked by his reputation as Wang Shuang.

    The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Wang Shuang clapped his horse and rode quickly, shouting: "Warriors of Xiliang, charge for me, kill all the Chu thieves!"

    Amidst the violent shouts, 15,000 Qin army cavalry roared and ran towards them like wild beasts.

    Facing such a violent charge, the five thousand infantry troops led by Zhu Huan were indeed shaken. All the soldiers felt terror in their hearts, and none of them had the confidence to stop the enemy in a hurry.  Riding a rush.

    And the soldiers who were out of order on the river beach were even more panic-stricken, and they couldn't wait to rush to the other side.

    The more hesitant the Chu army is, the more determined the Qin army is to attack.

    In a moment, the Qin army was already outside Li Xu.

    At such a speed, the Qin army's cavalry would rush forward in no time.

    The situation is extremely critical for the Chu army.

    At this time, Yan Liang still had a calm look on his face, and just raised his whip and said calmly: "Send a signal to Jiang Wei and Deng Ai. With such a great opportunity, it is time for the younger generation to stand out." (To be continued  )
