Jia Xu naturally knew this truth well.

But he is not a general, and charging into battle is not his specialty.At this moment, those generals don't express their views, how can he decide.

"If you stick to it?"

"We only have two thousand soldiers, how can we stick to it?" Yu Jin stood up and pointed at the speaking general and cursed.

There are tens of thousands of enemy troops outside the city, and they are only one-tenth of the enemy troops.Although the art of war says ten times to encircle it.It does not simply mean that the attacking side can besiege the city with ten times the defenders, but it also means that the defenders in the city can be evenly matched with one-tenth of the enemy's troops.

But the real situation is not like this.

They can indeed do this in small cities and small counties.But Xuchang is the capital of Wei State, more than ten miles from north to south, and about the same length from east to west.There are also seven or eight palace gates.How can 2000 people guard such a large place?Even 5000 people are powerless to guard the four walls.

"Actually, we have more than two thousand soldiers and horses. We should be able to gather some guards from each mansion. There are also many princes in the palace. There are also some guards in the mansion. If we gather together, we can have seventy-eight thousand. People." At this moment, Xia Houshang next to him suddenly spoke.

And here is the capital of Wei State, and there are many dignitaries and dignitaries.Not only domestic slaves, but general generals will support some old soldiers.

But now that the princes of the world are divided and fighting endlessly, how can there be any veterans?Now in Xuchang City, most of them are injured and disabled soldiers who had besieged Chen County before.

Although these soldiers are not as effective as before, they are experienced and can be used in times of crisis.

If you put it together, you can indeed make some.

There are obviously two factions in civil and military affairs.

Many civil servants suggested fleeing, in order to preserve the fire of hope.The vast majority of generals agree to stick to it, because the chance of escaping and surviving is really small and small.

"Big Sima, what do you mean?" Jia Xu had no choice but to let Xiahou Dun stand up to calm people's hearts.

"Get out of the city, you must get out of the city."

Xiahou Dun was the leader of the generals, even though many generals disagreed with his words, they had to obey Xiahou Dun's orders.

"Since this is the case, the son and the princes must break out at night."

"The last general is willing to protect the prince and the princes." Jia Xu just finished speaking, and the general quickly stepped out. Everyone looked intently, and the speaker was Chong Zhe Xiaowei Wen Chou.

In the battle of Liyang, after Wen Chou surrendered, life was not so good.

For one thing, because of his surrender, all the wives, children and family members who stayed in Yecheng were killed by Yuan Shao's revenge, resulting in Wen Chou who had been wandering for half his life and has not left a trace of flesh and blood.Second, after Cao Cao's death, because Yan Liang and others would all surrender to Cao Anmin, Cao Ang turned his anger on him.In terms of strength, he can also be ranked number one among the Wei army.

But Pei Yuanqing and others are all generals of various ministries, with high positions and weights.But he is the only one who is now the captain.

This time when they marched to Chen County, all the four most trusted generals around Cao Ang were dispatched, but Wen Chou was left behind.It may be a hidden arrangement, but at this moment in Xuchang, Wen Chou has become the only life-saving straw.

"It must be the general." Jia Xu glanced at Wen Chou, his eyes were full of gratitude.

This time the breakout was extremely dangerous, and even if they escaped, they would inevitably be blood-stained.Wen Chou's task seems to be very easy, but Jia Xu's heart is very dignified.

"May I ask the general, where will we finally break out?" Wen Chou clasped his fists and said.

Right now, the Qi army outside the city is forming a formation that encircles three and lacks one, leaving only the western side unencircled.According to common sense, there will inevitably be an ambush on the west side, and if they break through from now on, it may be even more dangerous then.

But if it breaks through the other three sects, it doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not.Judging from the current situation of the Qi army defending on three sides, it is by no means easy to break out of the encirclement safely from among the ten thousand armies.

"The encirclement is three and one is missing, so naturally we must break through from the west gate." Xiahou Dun said decisively.

"Ximen? The Qi army is coming in menacingly. The other three gates are guarded by more than ten thousand troops. Why leave Ximen to let us break through? With their military strength, we are encircled on all sides. We can't escape even if we have wings. Ambush, if you break out from the west gate, I am afraid that the prince and the princes will be in great danger." Wang Lang asserted from the side.

When he said this, many other civil servants immediately echoed him.

"How about Yang Zaixing?" Xun You suddenly asked many generals.

"The generals of tigers and wolves cannot compete for supremacy." Even though Xiahou Dun was also a fierce general, he had to admire Yang Zaixing's bravery.Throughout the past and present, it is probably unheard of for a general to be so desperate.

"How about resourcefulness?" Xun You asked again.

"I've never heard of him using tricks." Xiahou Dun's eyes lit up immediately, and there was a hint of joy in his words.

"Those who are good at planning are often misled by schemes. In common theory, there must be an ambush outside the west gate. This is the common sense of using troops. If you are a wise man, there may be some changes. But Yang Zaixing is a brave general, and he must stick to the rules in terms of wisdom. I mean, break through from the other three gates." Xun You suggested.

Xun You was one of Cao Cao's five great masterminds.

Even though he is left idle in the mansion now, his name is known to everyone.Now that he has made such a conclusion, the others nodded their heads as if they had found their backbone.

Jia Xu is also constantly speculating at this time.

But he suddenly remembered a story Cao Cao once told.

The story is very simple to sum up. No matter when you are or where you stand, you must not disclose all your hole cards to the public, and you must reserve room.Eggs are good, but don't put them all in one basket, otherwise the basket will overturn and there will be no eggs left.

"What Gongda said is true, but in order to be safe, I think the troops should be divided into two groups."

"Split into two groups?" Everyone's eyes once again fixed on Jia Xu.Xun You thought for a moment, and what Cao Cao said at the beginning also appeared in his mind, and he nodded slightly at Jia Xu.

"Besides the current king, the former king also had twelve sons. We divided the twelve sons into two parts. Captain Wen Chou led his son and several sons to break through from any of the three gates in the southeast, north and south. Another one is needed. The general leads the rest of the sons to the west gate. No matter where Yang Zaixing is in ambush, we can ensure that the former king's son can escape."

"So, the general is willing to go." Yu Jin, who had spoken before, pleaded again at this time.

Cao Cao's five sons, Xu Huang, followed him to the expedition, Le Jin died in Xuchang, and Li Dian died of illness, leaving only himself and Wen Chou.

Now that Wen Chou has stepped forward, if he becomes a shrinking turtle, wouldn't he be despised by his colleagues.

"Okay, let Wen Ze go out. The two of you can choose the available soldiers in the city, so be sure to be foolproof."

Chapter 680 Cao Xiong Asks Brother

The ministers were still discussing, and the sound of war drums sounded outside the city.

"Boom, boom, boom." The thunderous sound of war drums, like a reminder for life, shocked not only the people in the city, but even the officials.

At the South Gate at this moment, the situation is even more tense.

A large number of soldiers hurriedly bent their bows and set arrows, staring at the Qi army below the city.More soldiers and civilians were mobilized to move the defense tools and piled up on the city.

A riot.

Wu Xing leaned against the city wall, staring fixedly at the bottom of the city.Qi State is building a big camp, and even building various fortifications, making it clear that there is no immediate plan to attack the city.

Such a posture made Wu Xing heave a sigh of relief, but his face was still extremely solemn.

The Qi army has an absolute advantage, but if they don't attack at this time, they must have long-term plans.

It is even possible to set up camp today and wait for work at leisure, and a violent attack will definitely be launched tomorrow.

"Lieutenant Wu, what's the situation?" At this time, Jia Xu, Xiahou Dun and others walked up to the top of the wall, and Wang Lang came to him and asked.

Wu Xing turned his head involuntarily, and saw that all the ministers of the court and central government had arrived, and his heart suddenly relaxed. As the saying goes, when the sky falls, a tall man will hold it up.
