"Are there any fraud?" Cao Hong asked in a deep voice, "Let's hear."

"this……"

Of course, Zhang Xi didn't know where there was a fraud, but he felt that Sima Yi had not yet reached the point of withdrawing troops for no reason, and Cao's army was not very morale now, and there was not enough supplements and cold-proof supplies. He rushed up in one breath and continued to attack Puban County. It was probably not a good idea.

But he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only rack his brains and laughed dryly: "This... I heard that this Sima thief was treacherous, and this... the withdrawal of troops was mostly just a secret ambush..."

As for what ambush and what methods, Zhang Xi didn't know, but wouldn't it prevent him from guessing?

It is best to be lenient for the enemy, so no matter why Sima Yi retreated, we have won now, so we should not report good news to the rear, then retrieve supplies, wait for new troops to replenish them?

Cao Hong frowned, thought for a moment, and shook his head. He had a different understanding of Sima Yi's withdrawal.

"The cavalry and the horses are sharp, and now the firearms are damaged very much under the wind and snow..." Cao Hong said in a deep voice, "The Sima thief has used up all the firearms. The baggage in Puban is difficult to replenish, so he retreats timidly... If we let it go and wait for the thief to return to Puban, wouldn't it be that the enemy?"

This seems to make some sense.

In the past few days of battle, Sima Yi did mostly use firearms to support the advantage of the battlefield. Moreover, the damage to the firearms must be very serious in the wind and snow weather. Not only Cao Hong knew this, but Zhang Xi also understood this. Therefore, Sima Yi used up all the firearms in the battle, and now he did not dare to continue fighting. It seems that it makes sense to escape from Zhang Yangchi.

"What the general said..." Zhang Xi could not find any reason to refute, "It's so stupid... my subordinates...

'It's okay, it's okay...' Cao Hong patted Zhang Xi on the shoulder, 'It's urgent, you can lead a group of troops first! Someone leads the central army behind, don't let the little thief escape easily!'

Zhang Xi bowed his head and took the order, "Abide by the general's order..."

Although Zhang Xi had a vague premonition in his heart, he was not the chief general, he was just Cao Hong's general and he had to obey Cao Hong's orders. Even if this order had certain risks, Zhang Xi had to do it, otherwise, according to military law, Cao Hong could directly chop off his head.

I hope...

Everything was as Cao Hong expected.

...

...

After the incident, everyone is a god.

Standing on the shoulders of history, everyone is God.

But if you really know the process of things and understand the context of history, you can really grasp everything completely?

If these gods and God are allowed to predict their future...

Who knows this?

When he was in Heluo before, Yang Xiu could not have thought that he would come to Pingyang to meet Fei Qian and Yuan Shang.

Yang Xiu looked at Yuan Shang sitting in Pingyang's Cavalry General's Mansion very calmly. He appeared as a guest. After Yang Xiu returned to the inn, he was in a state of chaos and felt that his brain was suddenly not enough.

The dishes at General Cavalry’s dinner were naturally very exquisite, but after Yang Xiu returned to the inn, he suddenly realized that he couldn’t remember what dishes he had eaten. Almost all his thoughts were disrupted, like a chaos.

Yang Xiu claimed to be smart and good at speculating on people's hearts.

This is his ability that he has always been proud of...

Now it seems like it is trapped in a quagmire and there is no edge at all.

He came to Pingyang, and everything seemed to be fine, but everything seemed to be a problem, a problem that he could not understand or understand.

Yang Xiu asked the Yang guards who came with him, and learned that his guards and the other Cao troops were just confined to the inn and could not walk around at will, without any difficulties or insults, and did not even hear any sarcasm.

It's like...

Yang Xiu sat in the darkness of the lights, closed his eyes, and began to recall everything since he arrived in Pingyang little by little.

When he just arrived in Pingyang, Yang Xiu suddenly realized that Fei Qian must be in Pingyang.

Because Pingyang has three rings!

Pingyang and Chang'an are almost two extremes.

Apart from the original city and lingyi in Chang'an, Fei Qian did not build any new city walls. At most, it only repaired the original city walls damaged, but in Pingyang...

The red bricks and stones seemed to appear more solid after experiencing the baptism of wind and rain, and also revealed a vicissitudes and calm atmosphere. The towers and corner towers on the city walls seemed to be loyal giants guarding Pingyang, always guarding the surroundings.

Yang Xiu couldn't help but think of Luoyang City, remembering that he had always wanted to repair it, but he had never completely repaired it. He felt a layer of sorrow in his heart, which made his throat tight.

Not only that, Pingyang's defenders also impressed Yang Xiu.

The Pingyang defenders who were on duty at the city and on the main roads were basically standard, and they were usually equipped with an exquisite beast-faced round shield. They were basically very burly. When they stood there, they looked like a small iron tower. They must be the elite among the elites and were directly under the cavalry.

The city is strong and the soldiers are strong, so Fei Qian here seems to have become an inevitable result...

Everything seems to be very reasonable.

But Yang Xiu felt that something seemed wrong.

Suddenly, Yang Xiu seemed to realize something, but was not sure, so he closed his eyes and focused on it...

Faces flashed through Yang Xiu's mind.

Yuan Shang.

Xun Chen.

In addition to these two people who left a deep impression on Yang Xiu at the banquet, other people attending the banquet also...

Xuan's Chen's family.

That was from Shangdang, the family and border general.

The Shangdang also had Shentu family and Shentu Yi, whose ancestor was the prime minister...

By the way, there is also the bronze trumpet Li Ying. He sat in the corridor on the left. When he saw Yang Xiu, he bowed slightly, but Yang Xiu couldn't remember him for a moment...

On the right side of the corridor, it seems that Taiyuan County is the main one, including the Linghu clan, Wang clan, Wen clan, Jiexiu Guo clan, and Zhongdu Sun clan...

By the way, when Sun Zi saw him, he seemed to shook his sleeves with contempt.

In addition, there are also Pei, Liu, Chang, etc. in Hedong.

『So that's it, so that's it...』

Yang Xiu murmured.

No wonder Fei Qian didn’t need to say much to Yang Xiu. The situation at the banquet explained everything.

No wonder Yuan Shang's eyes were quite strange when pouring wine for himself, as if he had seen his companions...

I should have thought of it long ago!

Yang Xiu suddenly became a little angry. His face turned red and his fists were clenched. He wanted to roar, pointing to the sky and earth that even if he was killed by swords and guns, kicked to death by war horses, chopped off his head, or even hanged himself, he would not move into Feixiong Xuan like Yuan Shang!

But after a moment, Yang Xiu thought that Yuan Shang might have thought so too back then.

It's easy to die, but it's really hard to die...

Yang Xiu sat down again with anger and his shoulders drooped.

If Yang Xiu was alone, he might have really had this kind of courage, the courage to face death.

But he is not. He has old men and young men, and there is a big stall in the middle. If he was unwilling to bear this responsibility, he would have been killed on the stone steps when he was humiliated before, and he would not have been captured by Cao's army, nor would he go to Pingyang.

So, Yang Xiu is the next Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang looked at Yang Xiu, as if he was looking at Yuan Shang himself, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

Ke Feiqian asked these people to come, really just to show these things?

No other meaning?
