Chapter 1061 Withdrawal From Outside the City
? However, if they withdraw from Hefei City, it will obviously be a blow to the morale of the army and a blow to Cao Cao's prestige.
Not to mention anything else, none of the generals in front of him would be convinced.
Therefore, it is very difficult for Cao Cao to make this decision. It is not easy to make a decision whether to withdraw or not.
"You guys also talk about whether to withdraw or not." Cao Cao asked several counselors.
Several counselors hesitated. They were literati, and they were more worried. It was very difficult for them to decide on this matter.
Several people dare not speak easily, Cao Cao is very helpless.
"All generals, go back and prepare for battle."
Cao Cao was helpless, they were here, putting too much pressure on these civil servants.
Just now, one wanted to go to Zhang Yu desperately, but now that these civil servants come up with different suggestions, they are all afraid of being torn apart by this group of generals.
Cao Cao said: "If the army is not withdrawn, I am afraid that we must send a very trustworthy army to restrain the soldiers. Otherwise, if the soldiers are out of control and attack the people in the city, the matter will not end well."
Cao Cao has never been so difficult to make a decision like today.
He has always been very decisive.
The last time Zhang Yu forced him to abandon Liu Xie, he had never been so difficult to make a decision like now.
Although those generals had left, the dozen or so counselors still did not dare to speak easily.
It's too difficult to decide, they all know the seriousness of the matter.
Talking about retreating, offending a group of senior generals in the army, I don't know if there will be any bad end in the future.
Once it is said that they will not retreat, none of the soldiers inside should think about it. If the people in the city also suffer, they will face even greater disasters by then.
For more than an hour, no one spoke. Cao Cao asked someone to move tables and chairs, and a few people sat there. Occasionally, someone drank the tea on the table, and then it was very quiet.
The stakes are high, and the decision is so difficult.
Zhang Yu didn't have much time left for them.
Five days, they only have five days.
Five days, now almost two days have passed.
In fact, Cao Cao and the others only had more than a day to make a decision.
Cao Cao waited for more than an hour, but still no one spoke, so he could only speak first.
"Let's talk about it, no matter what happens in the future, as long as this king is still here, no one will dare to touch you, and Ang'er is kind-hearted and understands the overall situation."
Cao Cao wanted to reassure them and reassure them.
Their counselors all knew that Cao Cao would not attack them, but Cao Cao was old after all, who knew if other people would settle accounts with them.
Cao Cao's methods are so clever that he can restrain others.
Once Cao Cao is gone, what will happen to them, or will someone settle accounts with their descendants.
These are what they are worried about. Cao Cao, who has been forced to make a decision on this matter, can only explain the matter clearly.
Everyone still has various worries, but they don't have much choice in this matter.
Cao Cao can't afford it, which means they can't afford it, so they have to make a choice.
Cheng Yu said: "My lord, it's better to retreat. If you don't retreat, things will be difficult to control."
The consequences of not retreating are too many.
But Jia Xu said: "My lord, it may be the best choice for all the soldiers in the city to go out to fight Zhang Yu."
Jia Xu's proposal was very constructive. Before, they were all entangled in withdrawing or not withdrawing, but they didn't think about other plans.
However, now, Jia Xu gave them a better choice.
Zhang Yu just asked them to evacuate from the city, and they were considered to evacuate when they were outside the city.
A decisive battle outside the city is also acceptable to them.
Cao Jun deployed 80,000 troops in the city, originally planning to resist them for ten to fifteen days, and then withdraw.
It turned out that they planned to use several cities to hold Zhang Yu down for about a year, and finally keep Shouchun City, and then their entire power would stabilize.
It is not so difficult for Luoyang and Chang'an to recover. He believes in Cao Ang's talent.
Everything is well calculated. But Zhang Yu didn't want them to follow the plan.
In the battle to the north, they lost several places one after another.
The most important thing is the loss of troops.
When Zhang Yu fights, he likes to surround him, attack from all sides, and eat all the troops in their city in one go.
This style of play is actually not the best way to play.
It is best to encircle three and miss one, and give hope to the army in the city that they will not fight to the end.
But Zhang Yu was not like this. He attacked from all sides and fought until the end if he didn't surrender.
There is no other choice.
Zhang Yu didn't expect that when Cao Jun returned, one veteran could be worth several new recruits.
Zhang Yu lost more troops and did not give Cao Jun's army a chance to withdraw.
Only Zhang Yu dared to do this kind of strategy, and only Zhang Yu could support it.
The reason is very simple. This way, none of Cao Jun's soldiers can go back, no matter whether they are soldiers or generals.
This blow is very big, whoever is surrounded by Zhang Yu will not be able to go back.
Cao Cao lost many generals and excellent soldiers in a short period of time.
In this way, Cao Cao must be very cautious next.
Be careful, once an important general is surrounded by Zhang Yu, he will have to find a way to rescue him.
Zhang Yu was so simple and rude when he fought.
During this period of time, Cao Cao suffered a great loss, which he did not expect.
It is too far from the previous strategy.
In the beginning, Zhang Yu's progress was indeed very slow, but then it became faster and faster.
But Zhang Yu didn't think about the consequences at all.
He lost a lot of soldiers and horses, so he immediately replenished from the rear. Now, the rear has been training new soldiers and horses.
Zhang Yu will replenish as much as he consumes.
Keeping the whole army in a certain number all the time put great pressure on Cao Cao.
Cao Cao didn't dare to neglect, so he immediately ordered the troops in Hefei to go out of the city to fight.
"Let Xia Houyuan lead an army of 30,000 to support, and the army will be under his command. After a battle, try to withdraw the army, and this king will personally lead the army to respond."
Fighting is a must, and it must be a good fight outside the city, otherwise Cao Cao is afraid of Zhang Yu, and it is no different from retreating directly.
Cao Cao finally made such a difficult decision. Although the impact was minimized, it was still very unfavorable to them.
"It's difficult."
Cao Cao said with a sigh.
As for Zhang Yu, they received the news on the fourth day that Cao Jun went out of the city to arrange for a decisive battle with them outside the city.
"My lord, I didn't expect this to happen." Dian Wei at the side thought it was incredible.
"It's very difficult for Cao Cao to choose. This is their best choice. I don't want Hefei City to experience harsh wars again."
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, he began to give orders. This time, Zhang Yu's entire army pressed up and put a lot of pressure on them at the same time.
"In the future, I will often bully the few with the more. If you have the ability, you, Cao Cao, are like Yuan Shu back then. You will recruit soldiers at all costs."
Zhang Yu was not surprised by Cao Cao's choice. He began to order the army to break out of the camp and set off for Hefei City.
