After listening for a long time, no one spoke at Han Sui's generals, and everyone was listening and did not say a word. In the end, the veteran general Cheng Yi asked: "Lord, are you really planning to give up Tianshui City? Can't we resist tenaciously in Tianshui City?"

After hearing this, Han Sui sighed deeply and said unwillingly: "I don't want to give up Tianshui City either! But can I not give up? Now the soldiers under my command are shrouded in the shadow of failure, and their morale is very low. Can such soldiers resist the attack of the extremely powerful Big Bear Army soldiers? We don't have time to adjust the morale of the soldiers, and there are not many food and grass in Tianshui City, which is not enough for our army to use for a long time. It is impossible to rob from other places. After all, with Zhao Yun's army now, he will not allow our army to rob everywhere. Even if it is sent from Jincheng and other places, the distance is too far and it is not worth it. It's better to throw the problem of difficulty in transporting food and grass and transporting distance to Zhao Yun to solve it. As long as there is a problem with food and grass during the battle, his army will be done."

The son-in-law Yan Xing was also depressed. How could he give up the city he had finally captured? How could he give up if he said he would give up? This is too vague. "Lord, even if he wants to give up, he can't let Zhao Yun get a bargain. We can use the city to consume more Zhao Yun's troops, so that he will suffer casualties for every attack of a city. Isn't that great? Why not give up? After all, entering the city is a 3-to-1 casualty. Zhao Yun has soldiers who come to Zhao Yun's army. If you give up blindly, it will be no harm to Zhao Yun's army. This is not very wise. You should gradually resist, retreat in an orderly manner, and consume more of the vitality of Zhao Yun's army."

Cheng Yi agreed very much after hearing this and immediately spoke: "Lord, I also think that we should use the existing cities to consume more of the troops of Zhao Yun's army, so that our army will retreat and consume them all the way. If our army does not fight with Zhao Yun's army, we can only cause some trouble for him and can exhaust his troops. Besides, Zhao Yun's subordinates only have 50,000 troops, and they cannot afford to lose. So far, I have never heard of the army increasing his troops. It is estimated that the troops in Daxiong's hands are limited, and the princes around him are also eyeing him, and everyone wants to bite him. Daxiong never formed an alliance with other princes. Now he has become the enemy of the princes in the world, and his situation is not very good. I heard that he is still sending troops overseas to conquer him now? Then his troops must be tight."

After hearing this, Han Sui thought to himself, I don’t know what you said, but in this way, my soldiers will also suffer losses. Now I can’t afford to lose. If I lose any more, I will become the commander of the Cursor, how can I fool the leaders of the Qiang tribes? What can I use to threaten and tempt their tribes? You can’t just blow it around, you think others are idiots and fools. Of course, it is still desirable to cause casualties to Zhao Yun’s army with very little force.

Han Sui raised his head and looked at his generals, then laughed loudly, and said, "You are right. We should give Zhao Yun a little more trouble, let him lose more soldiers, have more headaches, and make his soldiers tired." After a while, he said again: "It's better, General Cheng Yi leads 5,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry to stay in Tianshui City. When Zhao Yun's army comes to attack, take the initiative to cause more casualties to Zhao Yun's army. Once the guard is unbelievable, you can retreat actively and gradually resist on the way, use geographical and geography to block the pace of Zhao Yun's army, give more time to prepare for our army, and also give the leaders of each tribe enough time to go back and organize warriors to participate in the war."

After hearing this, Cheng Yi was stunned. His grandmother Han Sui, aren’t you let me be a scapegoat? I only gave me 10,000 troops and let me resist the attack of Zhao Yun’s 50,000 troops alone. Isn’t this let me stay and wait for death? And I only gave me 5,000 cavalry, even if I escape, there would be a problem. Your 80,000 troops lost to others, so I asked me to lead 10,000 people to resist to the death.

Although Cheng Yi was unhappy, he did not dare to object. After all, Han Sui was the lord, so he had to shake his head and said, "Listen to the orders of Mr. Han!"

The next day, Han Sui left Cheng Yi and 10,000 troops to guard Tianshui City, and he led his army to retreat to Jincheng. The leaders of the Qiang tribes also brought their subordinates back to their respective tribes and organized the army to fight again.

After Zhao Yun's army defeated Han Sui's 80,000 troops, more than 10,000 casualties. Although only about three people were killed or seriously injured, the loss was still huge, and the soldiers' physical strength reached its limit. The forced marching and decisive battles for several hours in succession made the soldiers exhausted. Moreover, they had to deal with the 30,000 prisoners of Xiliang. Although these 30,000 prisoners knew that they would be sent to be coolies for five years, they also needed troops to escort. The injured soldiers also needed rest and could not be forced to be tired, otherwise it would affect the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

Zhao Yun sent 2,000 soldiers to escort the prisoners to Chang'an, and the rest of the soldiers rested on the spot, and sent a large number of scouts to conduct comprehensive reconnaissance on the dynamics of Tianshui City and Han Sui's army. In particular, the geographical and terrain on the way to attack Tianshui City was more detailed. After all, these places were easily ambushed by the enemy and easily entered the trap of the other party. Be careful about everything, be careful to be able to sail a ten thousand-year-old ship. This is the truth of ancient and modern times.

A few days later, Zhao Yun received the information sent from Tianshui City and knew that Han Sui had led the defeated generals to evacuate Tianshui City, as long as ten thousand soldiers and horses were left in Tianshui City. Isn’t this the difference between taking the initiative to give up? Since it is easy to give up, why not just point it? Leaving such a few soldiers and horses is not going to be slaughtered?

After Tian Feng came to Zhao Yun's tent, he looked over the information sent by Tianshui City and thought carefully for a while. He looked up at Zhao Yun and said slowly: "Zilong, Han Sui is shrinking his defense line and wants to concentrate his troops to fight our army again. Leaving these ten thousand troops is just to cause more trouble for our army, delay our army's attack speed, and give him some time to organize fortifications. There will be no other problems. There should be no conspiracy and tricks in this, but his food and grass are also problematic. Over the years, the food in Xiliang has not been filled. The next step to prevent Han Sui and Ma Teng is united, and we will even continue to mobilize the Qiang tribes to dispatch large troops to fight our army's attack. If this is the case, our army will have trouble and this battle will not be easy to fight."

After hearing this, Zhao Yun smiled slightly and said firmly: "Mr. Yuanhao, this is also something I am worried about. Once Han Sui and Ma Teng join forces, plus the cavalry of the Qiang tribes, it is indeed not to be ignored. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Xiliang army and the soldiers of the Qiang tribes were taught a lesson by our army. They were very afraid of our army in their hearts and had the advantage in their hearts. But in this way, it is probably not easy for our army to solve the Xiliang problem in a short period of time, and they still have to prepare for long-term combat."

Tian Feng smiled and said, "Yes, let's report the situation to the lord and listen to the opinions of the lord and the General Staff. Of course, our army's offensive pace cannot stop. Since Han Sui gave up Tianshui City, we will get it as soon as possible."
