"Being protected by the clan, Xiaolian was promoted as a man, and he was awarded the northern captain of Luoyang."

"In the first year of Zhongping, the world was in turmoil, and the Mothie rebelled. Ren Qi Duwei followed the two generals Zhu Jun and Huangfusong to conquer the Mothie, and was promoted to Prime Minister of Jinan because of his meritorious service."

"Dong's thieves are chaotic in Beijing, because if they use their swords again, the alliance will beg for thieves."

"The world is chaotic, wars are frequent, and the emperor has a lot of trust, so he is able to worship the general and seal him as a marquis, and he is promoted to the state shepherd, and the shepherd guards one side."

"Just now"

Cao Cao frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice.

"Because of my fault, I will implicate Qingzhou and fall into the enemy's hands. This crime is unforgivable."

"I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of losing Qingzhou."

Xia Houyuan took a step forward, stepped out of the row, and faced Cao Cao.

"Anshan has become a dead end. We are besieged in Anshan. If we don't think about making progress, we can only die without food."

"It is true that the Ming army has a large number of cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and our army is absolutely hopeless to break through."

"The glimmer of life I'm talking about is not the life of our army."

"It's Shijun's lifeline, Qingzhou's lifeline."

Xia Houyuan was serious, his words attracted everyone's attention, and even Chen Gong's expression changed slightly at this time.

"The Ming army has indeed encircled our army, but the mountain roads have not been completely blocked. If we concentrate our elites, we can still break through."

"Miaocai means"

"Let me gather the elite and escort the envoy to escape here, return to Linzi, reorganize the army, and preside over the overall situation of Qingzhou?"

"good."

"I don't think so."

"If we act like this, the Ming army will definitely not let it go easily, and will definitely send a large group of soldiers and horses to pursue it, not to mention the Ming army is well-informed. Could it be that they have forgotten about the two cities of Kuicheng and Licheng, this matter is simply impossible. "

"if"

Xia Houyuan's words stirred up the stagnant water in the Chinese army's tent, everyone discussed it, and it seemed like a military discussion.

"quiet."

While everyone was discussing, Cao Cao spoke again.

Cao Cao's voice was not loud, but when he spoke, he suppressed all voices.

"You keep talking."

"promise."

Xia Houyuan bowed and clasped his fists, took a breath, first looked around the crowd, and then said in a deep voice.

"In the past, Emperor Gao and Xiang Yu competed for the world. Fan Hui, Guan Ying and others led troops to attack Longxi from Qishan Daoyang, attracting the attention of the Chu army. In fact, the main attacking army was the army led by Han Xin. Han Xin led the army to attack from the old road. Chen Cang, the Chu army was caught off guard and suffered a major defeat, and the land of Guanzhong fell into the hands of Emperor Taizu Gao."

"The strategy I think of is based on this."

"what do you mean"

Chen Gong also stood up at this time, he understood what Xia Houyuan meant.

"We led the army to pretend to break out of the siege to attract the attention of most of the Ming army, and secretly dispatched elite escorts to break through the siege. Even if the Ming army found out that something was wrong, they would not be able to pursue it. When the envoy arrives in Linzi, Qingzhou can be re-stabilized."

Xia Houyuan glanced at Chen Gong and nodded, as a tacit consent.

"What Miaocai means is to sacrifice the remaining [-] soldiers in the mountain in exchange for me being able to return to Linzi?"

Cao Cao looked at Xia Houyuan.

"Anshan is a dead end, and there is absolutely no reason to win. Instead of running out of food and chaos, it is better to attack before the food runs out. One is to cover the evacuation of the king, and the other is to consume the strength of the Ming army."

Cao Cao felt cold in his heart, the strategy offered by Xia Houyuan was to exchange the lives of 3 people for his own life.

He hadn't considered the issue of evacuation before, because he hadn't thought about leaving the army alone to escape.

And this time in the battle of Yuquan Pavilion, Xu An's actions really deserved the title of No. 1 military strategist in the world, and he didn't think he could escape from Yuquan Pavilion.

Since there is no way to escape, it is better to die in Yuquan Pavilion like this, at least it can be regarded as an explanation for the loss of Qingzhou.

However, the strategy Xia Houyuan mentioned seemed somewhat feasible.

If he can really return to Linzi, the battle of Qingzhou can be delayed for a little longer. Although he lost an army of 8000 people, he can hold on to it with the help of the strong city in Jishui area and Xiangyong. Time to think of other ways.

If he died in Anshan, Xu An would sweep the entire Qingzhou with an unstoppable force.

However, Cao Cao soon discovered a major loophole in Xia Houyuan's plan.

"The morale of our army has fallen to the bottom now, and it is impossible to send troops at all."

The originally restored atmosphere of the Zhongjun account fell into a dignified state because of Cao Cao's words.

Indeed, the morale of the army is low now, how can it be possible to go to war, once out of the mountains, I am afraid that the cavalry of the Ming army will have collapsed before the cavalry of the Ming army can reach the front.

The dignified atmosphere lasted less than a second before being broken again.

"Fight against the water."

Everyone followed the prestige, but found that the person who spoke was Zhou Yu who led the troops back before.

"Captain Miaocai should be the same as I think."

"The cavalry of the Ming army fought with their backs and broke through nearly ten formations of our army. The delay until then put our army at a disadvantage."

"Our army can also fight against the water."

"We are in the mountains, why are we fighting against the water?"

Someone was puzzled and asked.

"One carries the water, not the other."

"The so-called backwater means cutting off the way of life and falling into death. Only by fighting and winning can we save our lives."

"Although our army is in a desperate situation, the ordinary soldiers are not at any disadvantage. They are only afraid in their hearts. How should they act to stimulate their fighting spirit?"

"Simple. "

Zhou Yu answered the man's question, but his eyes were on Cao Cao.

"It is only necessary to inform all the armies about the lack of food among the generals."

Zhou Yu's words attracted everyone's attention.

"Then inform the soldiers of the various armies that the Ming army does not actually have many soldiers, but a cavalry that circles behind. The suspicious soldiers who deliberately set up banners and flags will probably arouse the soldiers' fighting spirit."

"There's no guarantee of the reaction you'll get."

"Maybe it will cause all the armies to collapse and our army will be defeated directly, or it may be able to arouse the fighting spirit of the soldiers below. If so, the strategy just now can be implemented."

"But it's better than doing nothing and waiting to die."

Zhou Yu sat down again, and he continued without saying anything.

A group of generals in the Chinese military tent were also lost in thought.

Xia Houyuan's strategy was still adopted in the end. Anyway, he would die anyway. Instead of doing nothing and just sitting and waiting to die, it would be better to seize this last chance.

Plans are drawn up soon.

Cao Cao left the big banner, battle robe, and armor, and replaced the other robes, and Chen Gong replaced the envoy as a stand-in to confuse the Ming army.

Xia Houyuan himself asked to stay. This was a strategy he offered, and his staying also made it impossible for the remaining generals to raise any objections.

When tomorrow is Pingdan, Chen Gong will lead the army to break out to the northeast, and at this time Xiahou Dun and others will escort Cao Cao in disguise to break out from the small road.

The sun is setting and the sky is getting dark.

What happened in the camp of the Han army is unknown to Xu An, and it doesn't matter what the Han army will do tomorrow.

Because none of this matters.

Xu An had no intention of continuing to wait.

The black moon kills people, and the high wind sets fire.

Today's Night Breeze is very eager.

Chapter 867 The Fire Company

In the camp of the Han army in Anshan, the voices of the people are subtle.

Chouzheng 2nd quarter 30:[-], the cock crows, the time of the fourth watch.

The fourth watch still belongs to the night, and it is the time when people sleep the most.

Because of this, thieves usually steal at this time.

On Anshan, most of the soldiers of the Han army were asleep.

The battle during the day made all the Han soldiers mentally and mentally exhausted, and they actually didn't sleep well this time.

At dusk, the lieutenant general announced a terrible news to them. The remaining food in the army was only five days' worth. If they stick to the mountainous area, they will run out of food after five days.

This is undoubtedly bad news for ordinary soldiers, and a mutiny is only close to breaking out.

However, the general immediately informed that there were not many people in the army, it was just a cavalry circled behind, and deliberately beat more suspicious soldiers with banners, and indeed produced some evidence, which stabilized the morale of the army a little.

as for surrender

In fact, the issue of surrender is really not considered by many people.

The predecessor of the Ming Army was the Yellow Turban Army.

In the past, the Han army never asked the reason for the Yellow Turban Army, as long as they captured them, they would kill them all.

Both Huangfusong and Zhu Jun used the corpses of the dead yellow scarves to build Jingguan.

The Yellow Turban Army also left almost no room for the Han army. All the Han troops who resisted were beheaded. The captured Han army seemed to be either beheaded or pulled into deep mountains and old forests to mine mines and undergo labor reform.

The Han court has publicized these things. In the confrontation between Taipingdao and the Hanting, Taipingdao has never accepted any surrender, and it seems that it also has the attitude of killing everything.

Although Qu Yi had surrendered, this was the first time that a general of a hostile force led an army to surrender to Taiping Dao, but Qu Yi was a general of the Wei army after all, not actually a Han army.

For one's own wealth and life, no one wants to put it in the hands of others, and only think about those good results.

In the end, the Han army calmed down.

Then a new military order was issued, and the plan was to break through to the east at dawn on the second day.

This time, Cao Cao will personally lead the elite to open the gap, and Xia Houyuan will lead the elite of the headquarters to break through the Ming army's formation and serve as the rear for the army.

After hearing about this arrangement, the originally turbulent army gradually calmed down.

Everyone has been in Qingzhou for a long time, and they all know a thing or two about the relationship between the Xiahou family and Cao Cao.

Most of the soldiers under Xiahouyuan's command are the children of the Cao family and Xiahou's family, and there are many people from Chenliu County, who are the real direct descendants of Cao Cao's command.

Cao Cao was the shepherd of Qingzhou, with both kindness and power, and firmly controlled the army. His authority in the army was still quite high.

Although the battle of Yuquan Pavilion damaged Cao Cao's prestige a little.

But after Cao Cao's name was brought out, everyone fell into calm again, and there was no further commotion.

Afterwards, the army only kept two days' worth of dry rations, and Jiang took out all the rest of the rations, and wasted them in the camp.

The original food for three or four days was consumed in one day, and the stored wine and dried meat were also taken out.

All the Han soldiers had a full meal, and their spiritual and appetite satisfaction slightly weakened some of their dissatisfaction with the current situation.

The extreme depression made them indulge, and the officers did not interfere too much with the indulgence of the soldiers below.

It wasn't until nightfall that it finally stopped, and the camp returned to tranquility.

In the camp of the Han army, most of the soldiers are still asleep, but in the camp of the Chinese army, all the generals and schools have already completed their assembly.

Dian Wei, Le Jin, Xiahou Dun, Cao Xiu and other generals have all put on the armor of scouts.

Because of Xia Houyuan's remonstrance before, Dian Wei and Le Jin just tested it, and did not forcefully attack the Ming army's defense.

Both Dian Wei and Le Jin are first-class fighters with excellent martial arts.

Dian Wei was tall and strong, with extraordinary travel strength, determined to be a hero, killed people for his friends, pursued hundreds of people, dared not approach him, and finally left safely.

Originally under the command of Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, he once raised the flag of Yamen with one hand.
