The opening of the Three Kingdoms is Gatling

Even if he insisted on fighting, what's the use?

he sighed,

"retreat!"

The Cao-Liu Allied Forces quickly packed up their luggage and embarked on the journey in the dark.

When Hua Xiong led the army to Changfeng, there was only an empty city left for him.

Looking at the empty Changfeng, Hua Xiong couldn't laugh or cry.

Didn't it say yes, said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, how did it become chasing Cao Cao Cao Cao ran away?

"My lord, what shall we do now?"

Guo Jia asked for instructions.

"Continue to pursue Cao Cao."

Hua Xiong thought for a while, and ordered.

"Cao Cao should have withdrawn his troops to the south and retreated to Hefei. Shall we pursue them too?"

Guo Jia asked.

"good."

Hua Xiong nodded and said to everyone,

"If we can win Hefei, our strategic intention will be considered achieved."

Ever since, the mighty army followed the route of Cao Cao's withdrawal and quickly pursued it.

……

Hefei City.

Cao Cao had just led the army into the city, and before he had time to catch his breath, he sent his soldiers to rush in again.

"Report!! My lord, something is wrong, Hua Xiong's army is coming towards Hefei again!"

"what?"

Cao Cao suddenly stood up, startled and angry.

This Hua Xiong is too shameless!

I even chose to retreat, why are you still chasing him?

"Guys, do you have any suggestions?"

Cao Cao looked at the people in the hall.

"Mr. Cao, I think we must defend Hefei! Hefei is the foundation of Mr. Cao. If it is lost, Mr. Cao will have no place to stand."

Zhuge Liang spoke very euphemistically.

But Cao Cao and others understood.

Without Hefei, Cao Cao would become a bereaved dog like Liu Bei.

"Kong Ming said it well,"

Chen Gong nodded in agreement,

"Besides, Hefei's location is dangerous. If it is lost, Liu Biao and Sun Quan will have a hard time."

As the saying goes, if you guard the river, you must guard the Huai River.

Hefei is located between the Huai River and the Yangtze River, and its geographical location is extremely important.

If it is taken by Huaxiong, the imperial army can directly attack the Yangtze River.

At that time, Liu Biao and Sun Quan on the left and right will be threatened.

After listening to the analysis of the two advisers, Cao Cao also knew that Hefei must be defended.

It's just that the morale of the army is sluggish now, so he is really hesitant.

Chen Gong saw his worry and said softly,

"My lord, we have been running Hefei for a long time, and the city is as solid as gold.

There are enough food, grass and water wells in the city, so we are not afraid of Huaxiong's siege. "

Cao Cao nodded slightly.

There is a saying in the art of war, encircle it ten times.

He and Hua Xiong were evenly matched in strength.

It is impossible for Hua Xiong to win Hefei.

Once Hefei is threatened, Liu Biao and Sun Quan will not be able to sit still.

I just need to wait for them to send reinforcements, when Hua Xiong will naturally retreat.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao made up his mind.

He nodded heavily and said,

"According to what the military adviser said!"

"Mr. Cao, Liang has another plan."

Zhuge Liang suddenly said.

Cao Cao's face darkened, it was your coquettish idea last time, saying that he wanted to dig a tunnel to attack Shouchun.

It turned out to be a good thing, a waste of manpower and material resources, and caused Chen Dao's tragic death!

Seeing that Cao Cao's expression was not right, Zhuge Liang quickly said,

"I suggest that Duke Cao can emulate Hua Xiong's method of defending the city."

"What does Kong Ming mean, we also dig tunnels?"

Chen Gong frowned.

"But digging the tunnel at this moment, I'm afraid it's too late."

Cao Cao shook his head decisively.

"No. We don't need to dig tunnels, we just need to send 3000 troops to hide in the surrounding dense forest."

"In addition, we can choose a city wall and dig from the inside to the outside, but don't dig through.

We can wait for the opportunity, when the time comes, break through the city wall and break out of the city in an instant.

The 3000 troops outside the city will attack Hua Xiong with us as soon as they hear the sound of killing! "

Everyone's eyes lit up.

This strategy can be said to have the same effect as Hua Xiong Shou Shou Chun.

The difference is that Hua Xiong digs tunnels to transport troops, while his own side deploys an army in advance.

"Kong Ming is really resourceful!"

Chen Gong clapped his hands and praised.

"Hua Xiong never expected that we would set up such a method!"

Cao Cao also let go of his prejudice against Zhuge Liang, laughed and praised,

"Since this is the case, then according to Kong Ming's strategy, let's go down and make arrangements!"

While everyone was scattered to make arrangements, Chen Gong suddenly walked up to Cao Cao,

"My lord, I don't know whether to say something or not."

"Gongtai, you and I were born and died. Although we are not brothers, we are no different from brothers. What is there to say?"

Cao Cao laughed.

"When the two armies are at war, it is hard to predict who will win and who will lose.

If the city of Hefei falls, then we will face a catastrophe. "

Chen Gong sighed.

Cao Cao frowned slightly,

"Gongtai, what exactly do you want to say?"

Chen Gong looked around and said in a low voice,

"Your Majesty, you can let Cao Ang, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhi lead the 3000 men out of the city.

If things are not right, they can be allowed to retreat, which can be regarded as saving the blood of the lord. "

Cao Cao was silent for a long time, then nodded,

"You're right."

He beckoned to Dian Wei and Xu Zhu who were guarding outside the door.

"Call the three young masters Cao Ang, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhi."

After a while, three young men came to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao told Chen Gong's plan to his three sons.

"Father, I don't want to leave!"

Cao Ang shook his head and refused.

"Yes, father, we will live and die with you!"

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi also looked unwilling.

"Confused!"

Cao Cao shouted in a low voice,

"I've made up my mind, pack your bags quickly, and leave the city tonight."

Seeing Cao Cao's firm attitude, the three of them nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Cao Pi suddenly asked,

"Father, what about Queen Guo's family?"

Cao Cao pondered for a while, then said softly,

"Let her go out of the city with you, and all her family members stay in the city."

"My son obeys!"

Cao Pi cupped his hands.

The three brothers got up and left.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then said to Dian Wei and Xu Zhu,

"The three sons are not good at leading troops to fight, so you two should go out of the city with them."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"My lord, if we leave, who will protect you?"

Dian Wei expressed concern.

"Hefei is so impregnable that even a mosquito can't fly in. How could someone hurt me?"

Cao Cao smiled indifferently.

Dian Wei and Xu Zhu had no choice but to take orders and leave.

……

But it is said that Cao Ang, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhi, together with Dian Wei and Xu Zhu, led 3000 troops out of the city and ambushed in the dense forest outside Hefei.

Hua Xiong's army soon approached the city, and densely packed tents surrounded Hefei.

When evacuating from Shouchun City, Cao Cao discarded a large number of siege equipment.
