But it takes a day or two to arrange the overall situation.

"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be discussed in a long-term manner, and Liu Bei must not be frightened. Otherwise, if he escapes into Taihang Mountain, it will be a disaster for all eternity." Guo Jia said.

Xu Ding thought for a long time

Finally said: "I will take Dian Wei and three thousand Qingqi from the Imperial Forest Army to Jinyang to attract Liu Bei's attention. You are in charge of commanding the army and laying out the layout outside Taiyuan. When you are ready, you will inform me. When the time comes I will ask Guan Yu to assist you. In addition, I will give Cheng Yu a military order to send an army to fight in Taiyuan."

"It's so good." Guo Jia cupped his hands and said, "I obey!"

Taiyuan Jinyang.

Guan Yu was ordered to capture here.

Since he came to Jinyang, he has launched seven consecutive attacks, but failed to conquer the city.The general who prevented him from succeeding was named Chen Dao, who was recruited by Liu Bei in Yuzhou in previous years.He has an elite group called the White Haired Soldiers, who are extremely powerful in combat.Guan Yu could not win after a long battle.

"General, Your Majesty is here."

"where?"

Guan Yu led his soldiers back to camp.

Xu Ding inspected the Hebei Field Army and arrived at the Central Army.

Guan Yu came and said: "See Your Majesty."

"Yun Chang is free. How is the war going?"

"In the end, you will fail His Majesty's high expectations. I have been in Taiyuan for several months, but I haven't made an inch of merit." Guan Yu said ashamedly.

"You have many cavalry and are not good at attacking cities. It's no wonder." Xu Ding didn't blame Guan Yu.

Guan Yu said: "It's not that the Hebei Field Army is not good at attacking the city, but that there is an elite group in Jinyang City, who never retreats in a deadly battle. The last general personally led the army to kill the city tower seven times, and was also forced to go down the tower."

Xu Ding wondered: "Under Liu Bei, is there such an elite? Do you have a banner?"

"Yes, their banner is white-haired soldiers, and their clothes are different from other soldiers. They are extremely brave and good at fighting." Guan Yu said.

"It turned out to be a white-haired soldier."

Xu Ding remembered.

There is indeed such a unit under Liu Bei's command, not only Liu Bei's elite vanguard, but also Liu Bei's personal guard.Every time Liu Bei was in danger, they were the ones who rescued him.

"Is the general who leads the army called Chen Dao?" Xu Ding asked.

"It's Chen Dao, how does my lord know?"

"That's right." Xu Ding said: "Chen Dao commanded the white-haired soldiers and personally commanded the defense of the city. No wonder you failed to conquer the city after attacking for several months. But you don't need to fight now, and lead the whole army to retreat to the main road of Taihang Mountain .”

"Your Majesty, why is this?" Guan Yu cupped his fists and said, "Please give the general three more days to conquer Jinyang City!"

"No need, you lead the army to retreat, I have my own strategy to defend against the enemy." Xu Ding said.

Guan Yu was extremely unwilling, but he didn't dare to disobey the order openly. He cupped his hands and said, "Yes, the general will withdraw as soon as he is ordered."

Guan Yu's Hebei field army still has more than [-] soldiers, half of them are cavalry, and they are best at field warfare.

He led his army to leave Jinyang and emptied the defense area with a radius of hundreds of miles.

Simultaneously.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang who entered Bingzhou returned to Jinyang smoothly.

Zhuge Liang was very worried, and said: "My lord, we have already received news that Guan Yu led an army of nearly [-] to besiege Jinyang. It has not been conquered. But now that the lord is returning, he should have sent cavalry to intercept us, so that we cannot return to Jinyang. Then break down one by one, but they all retreated. The matter is unusual, and the lord has no choice but to guard against it."

"How to prevent it?"

"I can't figure out Guan Yu's thoughts for a while. My lord, please send [-] troops to station outside the city to form a pinch against Jinyang. If Guan Yu comes to attack, we will attack from both sides, and he is bound to lose."

"it is good."

Liu Bei accepted Zhuge Liang's suggestion and asked Chen Dao to lead white-haired soldiers and [-] infantry to station outside the city.

He and Zhuge Liang guarded the city.

Guan led the army to withdraw to the main road of Taihang Mountain and lurk into the mountain.

He still couldn't figure out why Xu Ding would do this.

"My lord, why are we withdrawing our troops?" Guan Yu came to Xu Ding's camp and asked his doubts.

"Every county in Bingzhou has the Taihang Mountains, which are extremely dangerous. If you continue to attack Jinyang City and fight bloody battles with Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, I believe that with the strength of the Hebei Field Army, you should be able to win. But can you guarantee that they will all be wiped out? Once Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are allowed to sneak into the mountains, even if we have a million troops, it will be difficult to wipe them out. Therefore, I have already set up a plan to surround and kill Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in Taiyuan." Xu Ding said with a smile: "Yun Chang, don't worry, just wait patiently. A few days. We have an army of nearly 100, and we are heading towards Taiyuan. When the layout is completed, it will not be too late to fight Liu Bei. By then, he will be unable to escape!"

"I see."

Guan Yu said happily: "It would be the best policy to wipe out Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in one fell swoop. But where did we get a hundred thousand troops?"

Xu Ding said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about that, within half a month, there will be one hundred thousand troops to help."

"The last general will go to reorganize the army, let the soldiers rest for a few days, and then wipe out Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in one fell swoop!" Guan Yu bowed his hands and retreated.

Dian Wei walked in and gave a memorial to Xu Ding: "A troop of cavalry came from outside the battalion, and presented a memorial."

"It must have been sent by Cheng Yu, bring it quickly."

I promise to open it to see.

The letter said that Lü Bu was in Jixian County urging for armor and armaments. Hearing that the army was attacking Bingzhou, he insisted on leading [-] cavalry to help the battle.It is now almost to Bingzhou.In addition, Cheng Yu dispatched [-] garrisons from the border counties and marched west along the Taihang Mountains. It was estimated that they would arrive in Taiyuan in [-] days.

"Haha!" Xu Ding was very happy.

Dian Wei also grinned and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you so happy?"

Xu Ding said: "Lu Bu is also coming to Bingzhou, and he brought [-] cavalry with him. This is a huge boost for us. I have increased my confidence in encircling Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang."

"Well, Lu Bu is really brave." Dian Wei also had to admire.

"When Lv Bu arrives, I will have nothing to worry about. Dian Wei, send an order to Guan Yu for me. Three days later, all the infantry will block the main road of Taihang Mountain, and the cavalry will follow me to Jinyang to fight. This time I will personally command and take down Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang."

"promise."

Dian Wei left the account.

a few days later.

Lu Bu's army arrived in Taiyuan.

He originally wanted to meet Xu Ding first, but he was afraid that Xu Ding would not allow him to fight, and Guan Yu would take advantage of it.So he led the army to Jinyang alone.
