Outside the city tower, there was a sound of gongs.
When the soldiers of Cao's army who were attacking the city heard the sound of the gong, they immediately turned around and retreated. Below the city tower, the soldiers who were attacking the city also immediately retreated and retreated in the direction of the army.
In an instant, countless Cao troops retreated like a tide.
"诱辘! 诱辘!"
One by one, the catapults quickly turned around and evacuated, and all Cao's troops retreated.
The sudden Zhao scene made Zhao Yun, Huang Xu, Yan Yan and Pei Yuanshao look suspicious in their eyes. They didn't understand what Cao Cao was up to? Because Cao Cao retreated so simply, it could even be said that it was just a feint, and it had
The suspicion of fraud is unavoidable.
Zhao Yun quickly ran to Guo Jia and asked, "Mr. Guo, should we pursue him?"
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "If Cao Cao wants to withdraw his troops, let him withdraw his troops. No matter what Cao Cao's schemes are, as long as I hold Hangu Pass, I will not fall into a crisis."
Pei Yuanshao came over and said: "Mr. Guo, if we stay at Hangu Pass and don't take the initiative, we will continue to be in a stalemate with Cao Cao. We have been guarding Hangu Pass, and there will always be times when we make mistakes. Instead of this
, it is better to go out immediately, defeat all Cao's troops, and establish victory."
Before Guo Jia could speak, Xun You said: "General Pei, Cao Cao is very cunning and has many civil and military officials under his command, many of whom are extremely resourceful. It is not easy to defeat Cao Cao. Yuan Shao is indecisive, Yuan Shu thinks highly of himself, and Lu Bu
Arrogant and arrogant people all have great weaknesses and are easy to defeat. As long as we guard Hangu Pass and firmly control Hangu Pass in our hands, it will be the greatest support for the lord."
Pei Yuanshao nodded and said nothing.
At this time, Cao Cao launched an aggressive attack and withdrew his troops directly.
Xun You and Guo Jia ordered not to pursue, so Cao Cao retreated calmly without being attacked.
On the city tower, the soldiers guarding the gate were cleaning up the battlefield and cleaning up the corpses on the Hangu Pass tower. After cleaning up, the corpses of Cao Jun's soldiers were all burned and not buried.
In the afternoon, Cao Cao had already withdrawn for most of the day.
At this time, Wang Yue had already sent news of Yuan Shao's defeat.
After Guo Jia and Xun You received the news, Guo Jia's expression kept changing and he said: "Gongda, Cao Cao has withdrawn his troops!" There was a sudden relief in his tone, but also a silent loss.
They guard Hangu Pass to ensure the safety of Hangu Pass. Now that Cao Cao has taken the initiative to withdraw his troops, the big stone weighing on Guo Jia's heart finally fell to the ground, and he will not be attacked by Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao's army retreated on its own initiative, which is a great opportunity to pursue Cao's army.
, they gave up the pursuit and missed the opportunity to chase Cao Cao, so Guo Jia felt a little disappointed.
Xun You said with a smile: "Fengxiao, the news has not been confirmed yet, let's wait until the news comes."
Guo Jia nodded and immediately put the disappointment in his heart behind him.
The two were chatting and laughing, discussing how to deal with it?
About half an hour later, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall. Zhao Yun, Yan Yan, Huang Xu and Pei Yuanshao walked in hand in hand, with eager looks on their faces.
Zhao Yun bowed his hands to Guo Jia and Xun You to show respect, then lifted up his robe and sat down, saying seriously: "The scouts have sent news, which has confirmed that Cao Cao has withdrawn his troops, and Cao Cao's camp is completely empty. The scouts continued
After tracking, I found that Cao Cao's army had withdrawn and was on its way back to Yanzhou."
Guo Jia and Xun You looked at each other, but the expressions on their faces did not change.
Seeing that Guo Jia and Xun You didn't look surprised, Huang Xu asked, "Two gentlemen, do you know the news?"
Xun You smiled and said, "I've already guessed it!"
Huang Xu then asked: "In this case, what should we do? Should we sit back and watch Cao Cao withdraw to Yanzhou?"
Guo Jia replied: "Although Cao Cao has withdrawn his troops, we will stay at Hangu Pass for the time being and observe for a period of time to ensure the safety of Hangu Pass. We will lead our troops back after the situation at Hangu Pass stabilizes."
Zhao Yun and others heard this and had no choice but to agree.
…
To the west of Chang'an, twenty miles away from Xinfeng County.
After Ma Teng and Han Sui's armies joined together, they began to attack Chang'an non-stop, hoping to catch Wang Can off guard from behind. After all, Jia Xu and Li Ru dealt with Yuan Shao, and Guo Jia and Xun You repelled Cao Cao.
Wang Can personally led the troops to resist Yuan Shu and Lu Bu. With such a situation, the hinterland of Guanzhong must be empty, so Han Sui and Ma Teng rushed to Chang'an non-stop, thinking of attacking Chang'an, taking over the land in Guanzhong, and taking the lead.
The most important thing is that as long as Ma Teng and Han Sui capture Chang'an, they can go north to attack Li Ru and Jia Xu together with Yuan Shao, and they can go east to attack Xun You and Guo Jia with Cao Cao.
Defeating these two armies is the most critical part of this battle.
However, when Ma Teng and Han Sui led their troops to arrive twenty miles away from Xinfeng County, they received the news that Yuan Shao had been defeated. Moreover, after Yuan Shao's defeat, he had led his army to withdraw to Jizhou. The news that Yuan Shao had led his troops to withdraw made
Ma Teng and Han Sui were surprised, and their morale fluctuated, so the army stopped.
The army set up camp and then stopped to rest.
In the main tent of the Chinese army, Ma Teng and Han Sui were sitting above the tent.
Below, Ma Chao, Ma Tie, Ma Dai, Yan Xing and others were sitting. What everyone was discussing in the big tent was naturally about Yuan Shao's withdrawal. Han Sui's eyes flickered, he looked at Ma Teng and said: "Brother, after Yuan Shao's defeat,
, Cao Cao is already alone and unable to support himself, and Cao Cao is blocked outside the pass, so it is difficult to determine whether he will win this battle!"
These words actually meant that Han Sui was retreating.
Ma Chao said loudly: "Uncle, my nephew thinks that it is time to attack Chang'an. While Jia Xu and Li Ru's armies are still in Zuo Fengyi, we will quickly conquer Chang'an, and then divide our troops and rush to Hangu Pass to fight with Cao Cao.
Attack Guo Jia and Xun You together. With such an internal and external attack, the Hangu Pass stationed by Guo Jia and Xun You will be destroyed without attack. When Cao Cao leads his troops into Chang'an and our armies join together, it will be easy to destroy Jia Xu and Li Ru."
Han Sui was very scheming but extremely cautious when doing things.
When he heard about Yuan Shao's retreat, he had no intention of staying.
However, Ma Teng was nominally his sworn brother, and the two of them had already agreed to send troops to Chang'an. If they were to withdraw their troops immediately, Ma Teng would definitely feel resentful.
Ma Teng persuaded him earnestly: "Wen Yue, Chang'an is right in front of us, and fame, fortune and wealth are within easy reach. Should we give up this great opportunity? Wen Yue, go ahead and march."
Han Sui hesitated, with a look of hesitation on his face.
Seeing this, Yan Xing persuaded: "Lord, let's rush to Chang'an first." Although Yan Xing knew what Han Sui was thinking, he thought about it carefully and felt that he should lead his troops to attack Chang'an, because not only Cao Cao attacked Wang Can
, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu also attack Wang Can. With so many people attacking Wang Can, there is still much to be done.
Moreover, although Yuan Shao retreated, Yuan Shao's foundation was in Jizhou, so even if he was defeated, his bones would not be hurt. After Yuan Shao returned to Jizhou, if Yuan Shao saw Cao Cao, Han Sui and Ma Teng had won, it was still possible for him to make a comeback, so Yan
Xing suggested that Han Sui march into the army and check the situation first.
After hearing this, Han Sui agreed.
When Ma Teng saw that Han Sui agreed, he immediately relaxed. As long as he persuaded Han Sui and made Han Sui firm in his idea of attacking Chang'an, the army could continue to move forward and rush to Chang'an.
The army continued on its way, but just one day later, news came that Cao Cao had withdrawn his troops.
At this time, not only was Han Sui determined not to attack Chang'an, but Ma Teng also had no idea of continuing to march. He didn't understand why Cao Cao would withdraw his troops? After all, Yuan Shao withdrew because his army failed, but Cao Cao did not suffer.
The failure and the withdrawal of troops without any reason left Ma Teng puzzled.
He was puzzled, but he could not continue to attack Chang'an.
Without Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to contain Wang Can's army, they would not be able to make waves. Han Sui led his troops back to Longxi, while Ma Teng's family also led their troops back to Youfufeng.
As a result, the tense war situation in the north suddenly calmed down.
Yuan Shao withdrew, Cao Cao withdrew, Han Sui and Ma Teng withdrew, and the northern coalition collapsed.
