After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 191

When Guo Xia and Gao Zhang received the news, Zhao Yang had already led his troops to take down Hukou, and the whole army was shocked when the news came.

An eager look appeared on Gao Chang's face. The removal of the spout meant that Qi's army's supply had been cut off, which made him extremely irritable.

"How could Zhao Jianzi lead the main force to attack Hukou? Could it be that Zheng Guo's troops who attacked Baiquan retreated?"

After hearing these words, Guo Xia also showed a pensive look on his face, and he spoke after a while.

"Before Zi Yao sent news that their troops were attacked by Zhao Jianzi. In this way, it makes sense that Zhao Jianzi attacked us before and then retreated in a hurry."

"He first made us have scruples and couldn't attack Luchuan with all our strength, and then took this opportunity to bring a small number of troops to attack Zheng's troops. He also had the same intentions. In this way, Zheng's troops must be hesitant and unable to attack with all their strength."

"That's why Zhao Jianzi dared to lead the main force to take Hukou lightly. Under such circumstances, we have to come up with a countermeasure immediately. If we continue, the situation will become very unfavorable to us."

"Aside from other things, the current food and grass of the army can only last for a month at most. Under this situation, should we continue to attack Lu Chuan, or should we turn around and attack the troops led by Zhao Jianzi?"

This is a dilemma. If you continue to attack Luchuan, if you can't take it within half a month, you must consider the withdrawal of troops. You can't fight until there is no food left. At that time, there will be no chance at all. .

Gao Zhang frowned and thought for a long time before finally making a decision.

"Don't worry about that, the situation in Luchuan is getting worse and worse. We may capture it at any time. As long as we capture Luchuan, it won't be too late to counterattack Zhao Jianzi."

"Then please inform the army of Weiguo that they must guard the rear of the army. If Zhao Jianzi really leads the army to attack, let him resist no matter what. When the time comes, I will definitely bring a large group of troops and go there. support."

Gao Zhang is also very depressed now, the battle has reached such a point, if he has not made the slightest progress, how will he explain to Qi Hou when he returns?So he had to try it anyway.

After fighting for such a long time without success, he was also very unwilling. Guo Xia nodded when he heard what he said.

After receiving Zhao Yang's reward, Zhixuan in Jinyang also knew that Luchuan was of great importance, so he gritted his teeth and directly sent Han Buxin to lead troops to reinforce Luchuan, forming a front and rear attack on the Qi army.

It has been several months since the war started. The state of Jin has also been tormented, and the damage is the most serious. Naturally, it is the fiefdom of the Zhao family. It can be said that wars are burning everywhere.

However, Baiquan and Lu Chuan were still like a nail, nailed there motionless, which also made Gao Zhang feel unconfident. Lead troops to reinforce Luchuan.

This news shattered Gao Zhang's confidence. He knew that he couldn't wait any longer. Now that the way forward was cut off, if Han Buxin arrived with his troops, the troops of Qi and Wei would probably not be able to retreat unscathed.

When people are pushed into a hurry, they will always burst out with unimaginable potential. Gao Zhang stared at the map for a long time before saying.

"Notify the national defense troops to retreat, they will go directly over the Taihang Mountains, let them go now, don't wait for a moment."

After hearing this, Guoxia showed doubts on his face. If so many people climbed the Taihang Mountains, it would be difficult to say how much they could go out in the end, so he immediately objected.

"If this is the case, the loss will be too serious in the end. How will we explain it when we go back?"

With a helpless look on Gao Zhang's face, he pointed to the map and said.

"Crossing the Taihang Mountains is really not feasible, but we have to make such a move to confuse Zhao Jianzi, and then take advantage of this time to seize the Hukou. Only by doing this can we get a way out."

"Otherwise, the outcome waiting for us may be to be captured by the Jin people and become prisoners of the lower ranks. Under such circumstances, we can only take risks. Only in this way can we return to Qi with most of our troops."

After hearing this, Guoxia understood what he meant, and immediately said with joy on his face.

"Since that's the case, let's do what Xiangguo said, and I will go and notify the national defense troops to evacuate now."

Zhao Yang, who was in Huguan, was a little confused when he heard the news of the withdrawal of the Wei army. He sent people to investigate again and found that the Wei army was retreating in the direction of Taihang Mountain, and the Qi army had already pulled out of camp. up.

This made Zhao Yang smell the opportunity of war. In his opinion, this is a good time to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, which means that the Qi army did not capture Luchuan during this period. If so, there is no reason for them to leave so easily.

Although it is more difficult and dangerous to cross the Taihang Mountains, it is much better to be trapped to death here, so Zhao Yang immediately gave the order.

"Assemble the soldiers, we are going to catch up with the troops of the Qi State. As long as we win against them, we will not only be able to break through this time, but also prevent them from invading our Jin State in the future!"

But what Zhao Yang didn't expect was that after he caught up with the defending troops, just after the battle started, a military officer came on a galloping horse. When he got in front of him, he got off his horse and hurriedly reported.

"My lord, something is wrong. Qi's army suddenly appeared in Hukou, and the attack was very fierce. We who stay in the city may not be able to resist for long!"

In this way, Zhao Yang realized that he had fallen into someone else's trap, but his face did not show the slightest sign of warranty.Instead, he laughed a few times and said to Kuai Kui beside him.

"Zhao really underestimated the people of the world. I didn't expect Gao Zhang to use such a strategy. This time I lost it. But now even if we rush back to Hukou, we can't get it back. If this is the case, let's eat!" Get rid of the guards in front of you."

After he finished speaking, he ordered the attack to start. The Wei people fought very tenaciously. After more than half an hour, Zhao Yang learned that the Qi army's reinforcements had disappeared. He knew that there would be no benefit in continuing to fight, so he ordered the troops to retreat. Start the army.

After Gao Zhang gathered with the troops of Weiguo, he did not launch an attack, but slowly withdrew towards Hukou. Now he could no longer fight. The food left in Hukou was looted by the Jin army, and now he was unable to launch an attack at all. attack.

So after discussing with Guoxia, the troops of Qi and Wei had no choice but to withdraw.
