Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 712 Xi Zhicai's Worries
In summary..

therefore.

Cao Cao will appear on the border of Bingzhou.

"Let the soldiers clean up the battlefield, then set up camp on the spot, and take a rest. Although the Xiongnu have no intention of fighting and retreat to the outside of the pass, they must not be allowed to evacuate easily!" Cao Cao ordered.

He is not a kind person. He has no good intentions towards these Xiongnu. If the Central Plains was not stable, he would have already led the army to fight there.

Now that the invading army of the Huns had been defeated, they withdrew to the outside of the pass, but he was worried that he had not seen the remnants of the Huns leaving the land of Bingzhou with his own eyes.

It would be even better if the invading Huns could be completely wiped out.

Pity..

"promise!"

A man behind Cao Cao was holding a long knife that was still dripping blood, more than eight feet long, ten girth around the waist, and a majestic general, answered.

And this person is Xu Zhu, Xu Zhongkang, Cao Cao's personal guard, who is known as a "tiger idiot".

As Cao Cao's personal guard, when Cao Cao personally led a cavalry to chase the Huns, it is impossible for Xu Zhubian to be there to ensure Cao Cao's safety.

Xu Zhu followed Cao Cao's instructions and went down to make arrangements.

With orders.

Originally riding war horses, wandering around, looking at the Huns lying on the ground, whether they were dead or not, the cavalry of the Wei Army who were making up their swords, got off their horses one after another, and began to clean the battlefield.

"Have you not found any traces of the Great Khan of the Huns?" Cao Cao asked.

Xi Zhicai shook his head and said, "Returning to Your Majesty, none of the scouts sent out could find any trace of the Huns Khan, and he may have fled to a place outside the pass!"

What he guessed was not unreasonable.

Now in the land of Bingzhou, it can be said that they are all soldiers and horses of their Wei State. Except for the cavalry chasing in front, and a large number of infantry pushing across from the rear, there will be no fish that slip through the net.

Many scouts were also sent.

However, there is still no news about the Great Khan of the Huns, so there is only one possibility, that is, the Great Khan of the Huns has escaped to a place outside the pass.

"It's a pity!" Cao Cao said with some regret.

You know, the Xiongnu Khan was the chief culprit in the war launched this time. Although he immediately prepared for the rescue after receiving the news that the Hun Khan had begun to invade, the land of Bingzhou and Youzhou have many problems. Big losses, and in the land of the two states, there are many people who have been invaded by the Xiongnu and Karasuma.

Even if the invading Huns cannot be completely wiped out.

But Cao Cao still wanted to kill the Huns Khan, the culprit.

And if the Huns had escaped and returned to the outside of the pass, it would not be easy to take their lives. After all, the Huns lived as nomads and had no fixed place to live.

At one moment, it was still in one place, but at the next moment, it might be moving.

What's more, they are not as familiar with the land outside the customs as they are in the Central Plains. If they attack outside the customs rashly, it will only increase casualties.

Therefore, Cao Cao still felt a little regretful that the Huns were not left behind.

But he also knew that such a thing could not be forced, but the Khan of the Huns left an arm this time, which still made him feel a little relieved.

"Your Majesty, the battle between Bingzhou and Youzhou will settle down soon, and our army has also suffered a lot of losses this time. If there is no food and grass sent by Han, we may not be able to suppress it so easily. With the attack of the Xiongnu and Karasuma, we will win!"

"Although the Han Kingdom is kind to our army, we have to take precautions!" Xi Zhicai said worriedly.

He didn't forget that Han Guo was still watching.

Moreover, although they still have food and grass, they cannot support the army to fight for a long time. It is only enough for daily consumption. If the Xiongnu and Karasuma are stronger.

They need to worry about food and grass. ,
After all, food and grass are not endless. There was no food and grass to support the army before, but it was only supported by Han. Even now, Wei Guozhong still has some food, but it is still relatively short.

most importantly.

That is the attitude of Han.

Although Han is now at war with Wu, the latest news has not yet come, but no matter what the battle between Han and Wu is, they still need to be on guard against Han.

Fifty thousand Han troops stationed on the border of Jizhou.

It's not as simple as just delivering food.

Although I don't worry that the Han army will stab a knife in the back before their war with the Xiongnu and Karasuma is over, but what if the winner has already been decided?That's not necessarily the case.

Plus the consumption in this time.

If the Han army had the idea of ​​fighting with all their strength, it would not be easy to resist with their current state of Wei.

heard.

Cao Cao nodded in agreement.

There was also a flash of light in his eyes. Although he was fighting the Xiongnu in Bingzhou, his attention to Liu Qi did not decrease at all, allowing the scouts to keep an eye on the battle between Han and Wu.

No matter what movement there is, it must be reported quickly.

and so.

Even if he is in the land of Bingzhou, he still knows the movements of Han and Wu.

not to mention.

What Xi Zhicai said was not unreasonable. ,

While besieging and suppressing the two invaders, the Huns and Karasuma, his army also suffered a lot of losses. In order to drive the Huns and Karasuma out of his territory as soon as possible, he used all the power of the whole country.

Defeated the Xiongnu and Karasuma.

His army is also weakened, and there is a condition that there is not enough food and grass.

There is no guarantee that Liu Qi will not have any ideas.

In other words, there must be an idea.

You know, at this time, it is the best time to attack his Wei country. If Liu Qi has no idea, it will be a strange thing. Maybe he will directly mobilize troops, turn around, abandon Wu country, and deal directly with him. with him.

After all, Liu Qi only needs to leave enough soldiers and horses to defend in dangerous places, and then he can defend Wu State, and come to deal with his Wei State without any worries.

Moreover, the [-] Han troops stationed on the border of Jizhou have always been a threat.

His rear is now very empty.

With [-] soldiers and horses, they can seize many places and sweep them directly.

"Send out messengers, let Zixiao, who is in command of the infantry in the rear, lead [-] soldiers and horses back to Jinyang to garrison, guard against the Han army on the border of Jizhou, and let Zhongda take over the rest of the infantry. Let me join you!" Cao Cao ordered after thinking for a while.

Every place has a general and a counselor in charge of the soldiers and horses at the same time.

And the infantry who pushed across from the rear to prevent the Xiongnu from slipping through the net was commanded by Cao Ren and Sima Yi.

One article and one military, cooperate with each other.
