I thought that the ambush would be easy to win, but after the battle, I realized that Zhuge Liang's formation was so profound that it was difficult for his army to rush in.

Even if you rush in, you will be killed in the formation.

The troops flanking from the east and west also encountered resistance, and the situation was similar to Huang Zhong's here.

Fight for half an hour.

Cao Cao led [-] elite troops to attack from the flank, and defeated Huang Zhong's Central Plains field battle.

"General, general." A soldier came and reported to Huang Zhong: "Your Majesty has an order to retreat to Pingjin for garrison."

"Huang Zhong takes orders."

According to the current situation, even if Xu Ding didn't send someone to pass the order, Huang Zhong would come down and retreat.If the fight continues, the Central Plains Field Army will suffer heavy losses.

"withdraw!"

Huang Zhong rushed towards Pingjin.

Before leaving, he left behind [-] soldiers and horses to temporarily stop Zhuge Liang and buy time for the army to retreat.

The battle didn't last long, and not many people died.

But it shows Zhuge Liang's talent.

A mere tens of thousands of mobs can resist Huang Zhong.In the case of being ambushed, turn defeat into victory.

"Feng Xiao, why did this Zhuge Liang choose Liu Bei? Is there any way you can recruit him?" On a certain hillside, after watching the battle, Xu Ding felt a little worried.

Guo Jia replied: "Kong Ming has already chosen a master, and he will not betray easily. Your Majesty should give up this idea earlier."

"Yes, Zhuge Liang will not betray easily." Xu Ding's expression gradually became cold: "Since he can't be used by us, we can't let him leave Sili alive."

Guo Jia said: "Your Majesty is right. If Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei are allowed to cross the Yellow River north and return to Bingzhou, there will be serious trouble in the future."

Xu Ding took out the map and placed it on the grass at his feet.

Dian Wei holds a torch.

Xu Ding took a look and said, "Fortunately, the terrain is favorable to us. As long as Xiaopingjin is sealed off, Liu Bei and Cao Cao can only stay in Sili. Over time, they will be defeated by me."

"From the map, it is indeed so, but." Guo Jia seemed to have thought of something.

"What do you want to say?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the map you used was made many years ago. It can only roughly outline the topography of Sili. Since Cao Cao occupied Luoyang and repaired canals and rivers, the topography must have changed. The road can reach the Yellow River."

Xu Ding put away the map: "That being said, we have many places to guard against. How can we prevent 100+ enemy troops from crossing the river from east to west with a distance of more than 10,000 miles?"

"The minister is worried about this."

Guo Jia couldn't think of a clever plan for a while.

Tomorrow time.

Huang Zhong led the Central Plains Field Army to Pingjin.

Join Min Rou who is stationed there.

There are more than 1 Qingqi soldiers under Min Rou's command, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

He joined hands with Huang Zhong to greatly enhance the defense force of Pingjin.

"Your Majesty, General Zhao has returned to camp." Dian Wei reported outside the tent.

"Come in quickly."

Zhao Yun opened the tent and entered.

Report the situation last night to Xu Ding.

"The enemy army that fought against the last general was only more than [-]. The last general easily defeated them, beheaded four thousand, and captured ten thousand. They have all been escorted back to the camp here. But the last general has received news that there are [-] enemy troops. The army is attacking Luoyang, and the general will be worried."

Guo Jia, who was sitting on the side, said: "Zilong don't have to worry. Luoyang has not fallen yet, which means that our left behind troops are resisting desperately. If you think about Luoyang's city defense, how could Liu Bei's Black Mountain mob be able to break it?"

"Sir said yes."

Zhao Yun cupped his hands.

Xu Ding said: "Actually, our military strength is a little small. It is really impossible to ensure that Liu Bei and Cao Cao will be left in Sili. I am considering asking Guan Yu to deploy [-] Hebei field troops to Hanoi. If Liu Bei escapes from the Yellow River, he will be in Hanoi County. Intercept and kill. What does Feng Xiao think?"

"Your Majesty thinks it's not right?"

"Why?"

Guo Jiadao: "The strength of the field army in Hebei is not like the field army in the Central Plains, which is small in number. Guan Yu is attacking Bingzhou, and he must be in Taiyuan. How can he divide his troops and come to Hanoi? If they are forced to separate and come to help from thousands of miles away, I am afraid that neither side can do well."

"But what should we do now? Liu Bei and Cao Cao joined forces, with more troops than us, and a lot of fuel. If we fight to the death, I'm even worried that we won't be able to win." Xu Ding remembered the fight with Zhuge Liang last night.In that case, Zhuge Liang turned defeat into victory.If the two sides set up a battle and fight, Cao Cao and Liu Bei may not lose.

Guo Jiadao: "We should stick to the previous strategy. Let's contain Cao and Liu first so that they cannot escape. When Jia Wenhe captures Chang'an and Guan Yu captures Bingzhou, Cao and Liu will naturally be defeated."

"Ah."

Xu Ding nodded and said: "Zilong, hurry up and send an order. Our camp will advance [-] li to the north, build a solid camp behind Cao Liu, and get in touch with Huang Zhong and Min Rou. Tell them, as long as Cao Cao and If Liu Bei dared to lead the army to break through, we would flank him back and forth to repel him. If we lose the battle, we will retreat to Pingjin and defend to the death!"

"promise."

Zhao Yun left the account.

Liu Bei and Cao Cao were blocked in the south of Xiaopingjin and set up camp temporarily.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang discussed how to break out of the encirclement.

Cao Cao rushed over and said, "Xuande, I know a shortcut that can bypass Pingjin and reach Hanoi."

"Meng De's words are serious?" Liu Bei's words were not kind.

He had a lot of opinions on Cao Cao and didn't want to believe it.

"At a time like this, how dare I talk nonsense? You must know that I, like you, want to leave Sili as soon as possible. To be honest, I have received a letter that Xu Ding has sent troops to attack Chang'an while I am in Luoyang. I must Hurry back immediately!" Cao Cao said eagerly.

"I see."

Liu Bei was secretly delighted.

Sixty thousand troops were sent out to act as cannon fodder.

He couldn't be more righteous about this matter. He didn't expect that Cao Cao's lair would soon be taken over by Xu Ding. For him, this was both a worry and a joy. Anyway, Xu Ding vented his anger on his behalf.
