Liu Ye stood aside, thought for a moment and then said: "Lord, the camp was burned down, and all the food and grass were burned. The soldiers in the army only brought enough food for five or six days. If Wang Can and Wang Can continue to consume it, the soldiers will
We will fight on an empty stomach in a few days, so please make plans in advance, my lord."
After a pause, Liu Ye looked at Sun Jian and said in a deep voice: "King Wu, Wang Can led the army to attract the main forces of the two armies, and then destroyed all the food and grass. You should consider it in advance!"
Sun Ce was furious. After hearing Liu Ye's words, he gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Can has captured Zhuge Jin. This is an irreconcilable hatred. The army is still there and we will never retreat."
Sun Jian nodded slightly and agreed with Sun Ce's statement.
Sima Lang shook his head and said: "King Wu, Wang Can has a cunning character. When he learns that our army's food and grass have been burned, he will definitely avoid fighting and continue to delay the fight. If the two armies stay for a long time, they will definitely be in trouble."
Turning his eyes, Sima Lang looked at Cao Cao again and persuaded: "My lord, although the prince has led elite troops to support Wuyin County, the situation is unknown. Once the battle situation in Wuyin County also goes unfavorably, the army will be in danger. Please think twice, lord."
OK." Immediately afterwards, Liu Ye and Man Chong persuaded Cao Cao and requested to withdraw their troops.
Man Chong wanted to fight again, but his food and fodder were destroyed and his escape route was cut off. It would be even more dangerous to continue to linger here.
For now, we can only retreat.
Cao Cao took a deep breath, with a look of regret on his face.
When Sun Jian saw this, his heart skipped a beat.
Cao Cao said helplessly: "Brother Wentai, you and I joined forces to attack Wang Can, but we missed one link. I didn't expect that Wang Can would unexpectedly attack the camps of the two armies. We are fighting long distances, and we have no troops and supplies.
Food supplies, once the escape route is cut off, the consequences will be disastrous, I am ready to withdraw to Yuzhou and return to Yanzhou."
After finishing speaking, Cao Cao sighed again.
He was also very unwilling, but unwillingness could not be a chance for success.
This was the case, and Cao Cao had no reason to hesitate.
When Sun Jian saw that Cao Cao was really going to leave, he persuaded him: "Meng De, the soldiers in the army have brought five or six days' worth of food. We still have the strength to fight! If we retreat now, we will definitely fail." Sun Jian was dissatisfied in his heart.
Willing to withdraw, he led a large army to attack Wang Can in order to gain benefits from Jingzhou.
However, the result was that the generals and counselors were lost, resulting in heavy losses.
Cao Cao shook his head and refused, and said firmly: "Brother Wentai, I have made up my mind, there is no need to persuade anymore."
Seeing Cao Cao's insistence, Sun Jian understood that even more persuasion would be of no avail, and sighed: "Meng Dedu has chosen to leave. If I stay, I will be single and weak. It will be difficult to defeat Wang Can. Let's give up. I will withdraw to Jiangdong."
Lu Su said: "My lord, if we retreat directly, we may be pursued."
Sun Jian asked: "Zijing, what do you think?"
Lu Su replied: "Su believes that our army is retreating. We should first pretend to attack Wang Can and pretend to fight Wang Can. Confuse Wang Can and then retreat overnight."
Sun Jian was disheartened and nodded in agreement.
Cao Cao glanced at Lu Su appreciatively and agreed with Lu Su's suggestion. If he retreated directly, Wang Can would definitely turn around and pursue him. When the time came, he would be chased and beaten by Wang Can, and he would lose more soldiers.
On that day, Sun Jian and Cao Cao led their armies to pursue Wang Can and prepared for a decisive battle.
Wang Can did not know the true plans of Cao Cao and Sun Jian, so he continued to retreat with his soldiers as usual.
After nightfall, Wang Can's army stopped to rest.
Wang Can said: "Cao Cao and Sun Jian's camp has been burned down, and their food, grass and baggage have been reduced. They are still chasing and fighting. Do they want to fight to the death?" Wang Can picked up a wooden stick and threw it on the ground.
In the fire, there was a look of contemplation on his face. According to Wang Can, Cao Cao and Sun Jian should retreat immediately after hearing the news that the camp was burned.
Cao Cao and Sun Jian, however, continued to attack with all their might.
Pang De said with a smile: "My lord, no matter what Cao Cao and Sun Jian do, as long as we delay for a few more days, Cao Cao and Sun Jian's soldiers will have no food, and we can launch a counterattack and fight back directly."
Wang Can smiled and said: "Ling Ming, your stupid method is not bad!" After a moment, Wang Can said: "Get some rest early, there will be a big battle tomorrow." After hearing Pang De's words, Wang Can did not think about it in his heart.
doubts.
After daybreak, Cao Cao and Sun Jian did not move at all.
Early yesterday morning, Cao Cao and Sun Jian had led their troops to kill them, but now there was no movement. Wang Can had doubts in his heart, so he called the scout who came to find out the news and asked, "What's the movement of Cao Cao and Wang Can?"
The scout shook his head and said: "There has been no change. The camp built by the Wei and Wu coalition forces is still as peaceful as before."
Wang Can felt something was wrong and muttered to himself: "Something's wrong, something's wrong!"
"Pound!" Wang Canxin immediately called Pound over.
Pang De ran up to Wang Can in a few steps, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, what are your orders?"
Wang Can ordered: "Immediately summon a thousand elite soldiers. You can follow me to Cao Cao and Sun Jian's camp to test the situation."
"promise!"
Pang De responded with clasped fists and immediately carried out the order.
Wang Can arranged things in the army, asked the generals in the army to take care of the soldiers, and took Pang De and Dian Wei to the temporary camp set up by Cao Cao and Sun Ce. When Wang Can arrived with his troops, the Wei and Wu armies
The camp was empty and had become an empty camp. Wang Can thought about it and immediately understood the situation.
Apparently, both Cao Cao and Sun Jian evacuated overnight.
The scouts who were looking for news were watching from a distance and did not know the specific situation, so they said that the camp had not changed. Wang Can asked the scouts to disperse and immediately tracked the movements of Cao Cao and Sun Jian's army. After half a day, the scouts finally sent back the news that Cao Cao and Sun Jian had indeed led the army.
As the soldiers retreated, they all returned to their homes and made a rapid retreat.
At this point, Wang Can also breathed a sigh of relief.
The land of Jingxiang is finally in hand.
…
Wuyin County, thirty miles south of the city.
Cao Ang and Xu Huang led 3,000 elite troops and entered Wuyin County.
Xu Huang was riding on a horse, holding a long-handled ax in his hand, following Cao Ang. Xu Huang still admired Cao Ang, the prince, who could not only mount a horse to fight, but also manage state affairs.
Cao Ang looked at Xu Huang and said, "General Xu, we are heading to Wuyin County. Do you notice anything weird?"
Xu Huang asked: "Your Majesty, have you discovered anything?"
Cao Ang said solemnly: "When we rushed to help Wuyin County, we had already received news that Zhang Liao was leading troops to attack Wuyin County. However, we led 3,000 elite soldiers into the territory of Wuyin County, but we did not hear any news about Zhang Liao's attack.
, could it be Zhang Liao pretending to attack Wuyin County? I think this possibility is very small."
Xu Huang raised his eyebrows, a trace of worry flashed across his face, and said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
At this time, Xu Huang also cheered up, with a serious expression on his face.
There are some things that he can't help but not consider.
Cao Ang nodded and said: "Although that is only one of the possibilities, it cannot be ruled out. In short, we must be more careful and not let Zhang Liao catch the opportunity."
"Young Master is wise!"
Xu Huang responded with clasped fists and was alert in his heart.
…
In the county seat, in the county government.
Zhang Liao was sitting on top with his golden sword and horse, with a look of joy on his face, because the news that Cao Ang and Xu Huang were coming with their troops had been sent back, and when Cao Ang entered the city, he would be able to defeat Cao Ang in one fell swoop.
If Cao Ang and Xu Huang are captured again, it will be even more perfect.
Zhang Liao looked at the magistrate of Wuyin County who was standing bowed below, and said in a deep voice: "Cao Cao and Xu Huang are here. Now it's time for you to show off. As long as you trick Cao Ang into the city, you will make a great contribution immediately. If things go wrong.
You should know the consequences." After saying that, Zhang Liao stood up, waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the city tower to meet Cao Ang."
"promise!"
The magistrate of Wuyin County agreed and followed Zhang Liao tremblingly.
