    Chapter 286: Unwilling

    Not only Liu Bei, but also Fazheng was shocked and stunned.

    The fall of Yangping Pass and the imminent fall of Hanzhong were something Liu Bei never expected.

    In Liu Bei's view, although there are few soldiers in Hanzhong, Yangping Pass is dangerous. Even if the enemy in Shu has 100,000 powerful soldiers, they cannot shake Yangping Pass in the slightest.

    Liu Bei was astonished and urgently asked about the battle of Yangpingguan.

    When he heard the entire battle, his entire body went from shock to silence.

    "My lord, if Hanzhong is lost, Guanlong will be in danger. It seems that the battle in Hanoi can no longer be fought. We must withdraw our troops as soon as possible." Fazheng said uneasily.

    "Victory is so close, I won't give in, I won't give in." Liu Bei was angry and beat the table with his fists.

    Liu Bei was of course unwilling to give in. In his view, defeating Liu Feng was something that was close at hand. If he won this battle, even if success or failure could not be determined in one battle, it would still be enough to drive Liu Feng's troops back to the south of the river.

    In this case, he could not only seize the political banner of the Han Emperor, but also pacify the Hebei states in one fell swoop.

    But now, if he retreats, not only will he give up the Han Emperor to Liu Feng, but he will also give up Jiyou and other Hebei states.

    If Liu Feng is allowed to capture Hebei again, then the balance of strength between the two sides will sharply widen. How can he, who only holds Liangyong and three states, compete with Liu Feng, who holds ten states?

    However, if he does not return to the army and Hanzhong is lost, the foundation of Guanlong will be shaken. If the foundation is lost, even if he defeats Liu Feng in Hanoi, even if he captures the Han Emperor, so what.

    This piece of information suddenly put Liu Bei into a dilemma.

    To retreat, or not to retreat?

    Liu Bei was pacing in the tent, with all kinds of complicated emotions on his old face.

    "My lord, the situation is overwhelming and changing rapidly. We can't afford to delay it." Fa Zheng urged anxiously, trying to get Liu Bei to make a decision as soon as possible.

    Suddenly, Liu Bei stopped, and his eyes flashed with excitement: "Xiao Zhi, Hanzhong must be saved, but the great opportunity in front of us is fleeting, how can we let it go like this? In my opinion, we  Why not give it a try.¡±

    "My lord, what do you mean" Fazheng's heart was slightly shaken.

    Liu Bei said coldly: "I'm thinking that if we can create a situation of preparing to return to Guanzhong on the surface, then Liu Feng will definitely not doubt us when he knows that we have failed in Hanzhong, and will probably relax his vigilance because of this. Then, we will  Taking advantage of its relaxation, the entire army attacked, launched a fatal night attack, and destroyed it in one fell swoop. At that time, we divided our troops into two groups, returned to Hanzhong to aid, and continued to seize the Han Emperor and march to Hebei. Isn't this the case?  The best of both worlds.¡±

    Liu Bei decided to give it a try.

    Although his plan seems beautiful, the risk is that if Liu Feng is not defeated in a battle, it will not only delay the time to return to Hanzhong, but also, when the other party is aware of his intentions, they will be tightly restrained.  , making it impossible to escape and return to Hanzhong to aid.

    Risks are often directly proportional to returns.

    Since he attacked Hanzhong, Liu Bei has been gambling heavily. It seems that he is addicted to gambling now, and he is gambling again this time.

    If it were Zhuge Liang, he might have advised Liu Bei to act with caution at this time, but staying with Liu Bei as the mastermind now is exactly the right thing to do.

    This person is also a gambler.

    After pondering for a long time, Fazheng nodded slightly and said: "At this point, there is only one try. Fortunately, the news of the defeat in Hanzhong has not spread to the entire army, and the morale of the soldiers has not been affected. At this time,  With one powerful blow, I think the chances of winning are still very high.¡±

    Fa Zheng¡¯s words seemed to agree with Liu Bei¡¯s intention to give it a go.

    The two gamblers hit it off immediately, and Liu Bei sent a secret order to the generals of each army that day.

    In the next three days, Liu Bei's army's offensive basically stopped, and all the armies and battalions began to pack their bags. Some of the camps to the west had begun to pull out their camps one after another.

    Naturally, the changes in Liu Bei's camp cannot escape the Confederate reconnaissance cavalry that is right in front of them. The latest reconnaissance information is sent to the camp. All signs indicate that Liu Bei's army seems to be planning to break up the camp and withdraw its troops.

    At this time, the news of the great victory at Yangpingguan had spread throughout the army. The senior civil and military officials of the Southern Army were excited and surprised at the Hanzhong victory.

    It was only then that Lu Xun understood Liu Feng¡¯s true intention.

    Previously, the general ignored his own advice and after destroying Samoko, he stormed the enemy camp out of anger.

    It turns out that DaWhat the army did was not just out of anger, but also to attract Liu Beijun's attention and troops to the Yewang front line, thereby providing indirect help for Huang Zhongbing in Shu to enter Hanzhong.

    Facts have proved that Liu Feng did it.

    "It turns out that my lord has long had high hopes for General Huang's side army, but there is something unknown about him. Yangpingguan is a dangerous place, and the guard Zhao Yun is a stable person. Why does my lord have such confidence in General Huang?"

    This was indeed what Lu Xun was thinking, and he had been holding this question in his heart for a long time.

    Liu Feng smiled lightly and said: "Hanzhong is a household in Yizhou. When I captured Yizhou in the early years, I planned to use troops against Hanzhong, so I sent people to explore the terrain in Yangping Pass many times. At that time, I knew that Dingjun Mountain was the place to use troops."  However, due to various reasons, we had to give up the plan to capture Hanzhong."

    "That's it." Lu Xun seemed to have some realization.

    Liu Feng continued: "Zhao Zilong is indeed a stable and good general. His various methods of dealing with Dingjun Mountain did not have any flaws. It's a pity that Zilong is more stable than using surprises, so he was dismissed."  Huang Hansheng defeated it with his extraordinary troops."

    Lu Xun deeply admired Liu Feng's ability to recognize people and couldn't help but sigh: "Liu Bei wanted to seize Hebei, but he forgot to arrange a capable counselor for Zhao Yun. The defeat of Hanzhong was really his own fault."

    Liu Feng sneered, waved his hand and said: "I won't mention Hanzhong in advance. Let's talk about the current situation first."

    Lu Xun's thoughts came back from his emotions and he hurriedly said: "Various reconnaissance shows that Liu Bei's army seems to be preparing to withdraw troops in a large scale. I think it is probably the crisis in Hanzhong that forced him to withdraw."

    "Yes." Liu Feng nodded and asked: "Then based on Boyan's opinion, should our army take advantage of the situation to pursue Liu Bei, even if we don't wipe out Liu Bei in one fell swoop, we still have to drag his army in Hebei?"

    Lu Xun sighed for a while and said: "The art of war says that when you return to the army, don't pursue him. Moreover, if Liu Bei retreats, he will go to the east of the river through Jiguan. The mountains along the Jiguan line are steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if our army pursues, we may not be able to do anything good."  result."

    "Bo Yan means"

    Lu Xun continued: "In my opinion, let Liu Bei go. Our army can go east to capture the Han Emperor, and then seize the two Youji states. In the future, we will use ten states to fight against Liu Bei's three states, and then steadily advance westward, and then  It¡¯s not too late to wipe out Liu Bei.¡±

    Lu Xun advocated seeking stability, which was in line with his military tactics.

    However, Liu Feng had a different opinion.

    Because he knew Liu Bei too well, and it was precisely because of this that he felt that Liu Bei would never simply withdraw his troops and return in disgrace this time.

    "Bo Yan, your strategy is completely based on the premise that Liu Bei plans to withdraw his troops and return to the west. But have you ever thought about whether Liu Bei's current signs of withdrawing his troops are just a superficial illusion?" Liu Feng's words suddenly changed.  Turn, it seems to have a deep meaning.

    Lu Xun's expression was shocked, and he understood the meaning of Liu Feng's words after a slight shudder, and hurriedly said: "My lord, could it be that he is worried? On the surface, Liu Bei is pretending to break camp, but in fact, he wants to paralyze our army and wait for our army to relax."  We were on alert and suddenly caught us off guard?"

    What Lu Xun said was exactly what Liu Feng was worried about.

    Put yourself in Liu Bei's shoes and think about it. If you were Liu Bei, faced with such an advantageous situation, you would be willing to return empty-handed and hand over the Han Emperor and a large area of ??Hebei to that "traitor" with hatred.  "?

    No, absolutely not. If that were the case, his name would not be Liu Bei.

    A kind of determination gradually emerged on Liu Feng's face.

    His eyes turned to the map and suddenly asked: "How is the article length going?"

    Liu Feng was referring to the war in Heyin.

    Lu Xundao said: "General Wei has tried to cross the river many times since he was defeated by Ma Chao in the previous battle, but because Ma Chao was very careful, he has never been able to achieve success."

    "Where is the army in Shaanxi County?" Liu Feng asked again.

    Previously, Liu Feng had ordered Zhang Yi to lead an army of five thousand to Shaanxi County on the south bank of the Yellow River in Hongnong County. From the Shaanxi-Jin Ferry to the north, he threatened Dayang County controlled by Liu Bei on the north bank, and then threatened the communication connecting Bingzhou and Guanzhong.  Shuqi Hedong County.

    The number of soldiers and horses along this route is limited, and there are nearly 7,000 defenders under Wu Yi on the other side of the river. Therefore, it is only a feint attack and cannot pose a substantial threat to the enemy.

    Liu Feng suddenly mentioned it at this time, and Lu Xun vaguely felt that a big plan was brewing in the general's heart.

    "General Zhang is stationed in Shaanxi County. Although he has built a large number of rafts and threatened to cross the river, he has never taken the initiative to attack." Lu Xun replied.

    Liu Feng's eyes wandered on Nuo Da's map, and suddenly he asked: "Shi méApproximately how many enemies are there in n?  "

    Shimen is located behind Liu Bei's army and to the north of Qinshui River. According to intelligence, it is where Liu Bei gathers grain and grass. Most of the grain and grass transported from the east of the river are transported to the frontline battalions through Shimen.

    Lu Xun thought for a while and replied: "The enemy camp at Shimen has about five thousand defenders, and the defender is called Fei Guan."

    ¡°Five thousand, well, it¡¯s not too much.¡±

    A certain mystery appeared on Liu Feng's face. He stroked his chin and thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "Send a secret order to Wenchang, asking him to pretend to prepare for the north bank of the Yellow River, and secretly move his army to Shaanxi County to join Zhang Yi's army.  Launch an attack on the enemies of Dayang, and after capturing Dayang, immediately move the light army northward to attack Xie Liang."

    Liu Feng's order seems to be to invade Hedong and cut off Liu Bei's way back to Guanzhong.

    Lu Xun had doubts in his heart, but before he could say anything, Liu Feng said again: "Send orders to all camps to be on strict alert. I predict that Liu Bei will launch a full-scale night attack in the near future. Also, four thousand soldiers will be  The cavalry is allocated to Gan Xingba, and he is ordered to be on standby at any time. Once Liu Bei's army launches a surprise attack, he is ordered to lead the cavalry to circle around the enemy's troops, surprise me with a surprise attack on the stone gate, and burn all Liu Bei's food."
