Following Liu Qi's order.
Among the ten blood-clothed guards who were originally guarding the left and right, one person stood up.
After bowing to Liu Qi, he turned around, held his saber in his hand, ran quickly down the hillside, and got on his horse.
As soon as he pulled the reins of his horse, he rode towards the outside of Jianning City, where the two armies were fighting, preparing to convey the order issued by Liu Qi.
Liu Qi, Guo Jia, Dian Wei, and Tai Shici also took the remaining blood-clad guards down the hillside, got on the backs of the horses left at the bottom of the hillside, and hurried back to the Jingzhou camp.
Outside Jianning City.
The Jingzhou general who led a thousand soldiers and horses to fight, after the blood-clothed guards conveyed Liu Qi's order, also paid gold to withdraw his troops and returned to the Jingzhou camp.
When the barbarian generals saw the Jingzhou army withdrawing, they did not pursue it and allowed the Jingzhou generals to gather their troops and retreat.
Wait for the Jingzhou army to stay away.
Then he asked the soldiers in the city to open the city gate and return to the city to garrison.
Of course, he did not forget to report to Meng Huo.
Although he was only dealing with a small-scale battle, Meng Huo also ordered that every time he waited for the Jingzhou army to leave, he had to report.
In the prefect's mansion.
Meng Huo, A Hui Nan, Dong Dana, and others were all there.
Although Liu Qi sent a small number of soldiers and horses to call for battle, they did not rush to the city wall to watch, but they were always paying attention.
If something happened, they would also They could all make arrangements immediately to prevent Liu Qi from unexpectedly attacking the city.
Although the odds are slim, it's never too bad to be careful.
"Report, the soldiers and horses of the Jingzhou Army who came to call for battle have retreated.
There are no casualties on both the enemy and us."
The general who came from the city gate knelt down and said.
Hear the words.
Meng Huo and others who stopped discussing because the soldiers came in were also stunned for a moment.
"Have all the Jingzhou troops who came to call for battle really retreated?"
Meng Huo asked doubtfully.
Ah Huinan and Dong Dana also looked at the soldiers kneeling on the ground.
No wonder they were like this.
According to what the Jingzhou Army had done in the previous two days, it was impossible to withdraw so early.
For two days, the Jingzhou Army would not withdraw its troops back to the camp until evening.
During the day, it took almost as long as a stick of incense for another troop to come over and call for battle.
At this time, no other Jingzhou army took over, and they all retreated, which made them feel very unreal.
It is impossible to say that Liu Qi does not want to take back Jianning City.
"I dare not deceive you in any way," the kneeling soldier said with his hands bowed.
See this.
Meng Huo also felt that it was true, so he waved his hand and asked the kneeling soldiers to exit.
The soldier did not hesitate.
After bowing to Meng Huo and the others, he stood up, turned around and walked out.
Wait for the soldiers to leave.
"What do you think?"
Meng Huo, who was sitting in the main seat, asked.
Dong Dana frowned.
He couldn't figure out the reason.
It was impossible to say that Liu Qi was afraid.
It was just that there was no chance.
Otherwise, even if their barbarian army was large in number, Liu Qi would have dared to directly attack the city with his troops.
Come.

But he couldn't tell the reason why the Jingzhou Army retreated this time.
Then he said truthfully: "My Lord, I can't guess what the Jingzhou Army is up to."
After listening to Dong Dana's words.
Meng Huo didn't say anything, but turned to look at A Huinan.
Seeing Meng Huo's actions, Dong Dana's eyes flashed with a hint of haze, which disappeared briefly and returned to their original appearance, as if nothing had happened.
Ah Huinan on the side did not feel the change in Dong Dana.
Seeing Meng Huo looking over, he quickly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I think the retreat of the Jingzhou army that came to call for battle proves that Liu Qi has nothing to do."
"How do you know?"
Meng Huo asked.
Hold on to the city and not leave.
This was also the strategy A Huinan proposed to him.
Yong and Kai surrendered and offered the land of the two counties.
The grain and grass collected from it, plus the grain and grass gathered before the army set off, were all concentrated in the city.
In Jianning City, it is enough to support the expenses of the army for several months.
In addition to going into battle, there were no generals under his command who could match Taishi Ci and Dian Wei.
Therefore, he agreed.
Otherwise, with his character, how could he stick to the city.
Liu Qi sent people to call for war, and led the army to fight Liu Qi early in the morning.
"Lord, in the past three days, the Jingzhou army came to call for battle, but they also used various strategies to lure our army to pursue them.
But now they left easily.
Obviously, they have no countermeasures.
Rather than a stalemate here, I think Liu Qi wants to gather his troops to seize the city," A Huinan analyzed.
"Of course, this is only a possibility.
It is also possible that Liu Qi is plotting something.
But if we cannot hold out and defend according to the city, even if Liu Qi has many powerful generals and many counselors, we will not be able to capture the city.
Time will drag on.
The longer it takes, the better it will be for our army.”
At this point, Ah Huinan spoke out all his thoughts.
After listening to Ah Hui's words.
Meng Huo also nodded.
He could also understand why A Huinan said that the longer it takes, the more beneficial it will be.
After all, it is not just him who is leading troops to attack Jiaozhou, but also Jiangdong's troops.
And if he was the only one who commanded the army, he would not choose to do so at this time.
Although Jiaozhou did not have many troops, Jingzhou under Liu Qi's control had many large armies.
If Liu Qi hadn't been held back everywhere, Liu Qi would have been able to mobilize all the Jingzhou troops, and he wouldn't have been fighting for three consecutive days.
He would have probably forced an attack on the city.
He touched his prickly beard, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Then what should we do now?"
"My lord, I think it is best to maintain the status quo.
If we go out of the city, many changes may occur, and we can't figure out what Liu Qi's plan is, so it is most appropriate to stay in the city.
We can send out spies to find out the news, so as not to Change, respond to changes.”
At this point, Ah Hui'nan's eyes flashed, and he continued, "In this case, what we should pay attention to is the stability of the city."
"Um" Meng Huo made a sound and looked at A Hui Nan, as if he wanted to see something from A Hui Nan's face.
Ah Huinan did not avoid Meng Huo's gaze, and looked at him with a calm face.
Dong Dana on the side also stared at A Hui Nan because of A Hui Nan's last words.
In the past, these words would have been nothing, but the situation is different now.

That sentence has a lot of profound meaning. of which. a long time.
"In this way, we will continue to stay in the city and not confront the Jingzhou Army.
When we have the opportunity, we will destroy the Jingzhou Army in one fell swoop and seize the land of Jiaozhou."
"As for the safety of the city, there is no need to worry too much."
Meng Huo's voice also rang in the ears of A Hui Nan and Dong Dana.
"promise" Dong Dana and Ah Hui Nan did not object to Meng Huo's decision and agreed one after another.
In any case, Meng Huo was the one in charge, but the two of them were not
