When Liu Qi, Zhao Yun and others were dividing their troops in Rencheng.
In Chang'an City, Wei State.
After experiencing the Battle of Qishan, the Han army burned the army's food and grass, and was unable to capture the Han army's camp.
Cao Cao led his army to retreat, no longer attacking the land of Yizhou, and retreated to Chang'an.
Moreover, he also lost the opportunity to seize the land of Yizhou.
If he continued, it would be difficult to achieve anything.
There is still a great possibility that he will be left in Yizhou by the Han army.
In the imperial garden of Chang'an City Palace.
A pavilion.
Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai sat opposite each other, playing Go.
"Now that the Han Emperor has achieved great success, it will be even more difficult to plan for Yizhou," Cao Cao sighed.
A white chess piece landed on the chessboard.
Although he said this, there was no trace of embarrassment on his face.
Instead, his eyes were full of light, as if facing such a situation, he did not feel any surprise or difficulty at all.
"What your Majesty said is true."
Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly and continued: "It was all miscalculation by my subordinates.
I did not expect that Zhang Ren, who was guarding Qishan, would be so decisive, lead by example, and lead hundreds of dead soldiers.
Even if we risk our lives to burn down our army’s food and grass, we have no choice but to retreat.”
Speaking of this matter, he also had a look of pity on his face, and there was also a look of appreciation in his eyes.
You know, the strategy of using the land to hoard grain and grass to attract the Han army and take the opportunity to destroy the Han army was promoted by him.
The plan was good, and the same Han army had also taken the bait.
With their strength, there would be no problem in encircling and suppressing the Han army.
Apart from this group of Han troops, they would be able to march straight in and attack Chengdu, which can be said to be very perfect.
But I didn't expect it.
While encircling and suppressing the Han army, something unexpected happened.
The only change.
That is, after the Han army knew that they had fallen into the trap, and the place where they were hoarding grain and grass was real, even if they broke out, a large number of soldiers and horses would be lost here.
It would be very difficult to stop their army in Qishan. .
Zhang Ren, the general of the Han army, sacrificed his life and led his troops directly into the grain and grass, setting fire to the grain and grass, and burned the grain and grass.
He and hundreds of soldiers were buried in the sea of fire.
The Han general Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang broke through the encirclement and returned to the camp in Qishan, where they organized soldiers and horses to defend the camp.
Without food and grass, and unable to quickly capture the Han army's camp that was holding out, they had no choice but to evacuate Qishan.
It's a pity that the plan didn't succeed in the end; I feel admiration for Zhang Ren.
Hear the words.
"The fault of this matter is no longer your fault.
The planning depends on people, and the success depends on heaven.
Neither I nor you can guarantee anything.
What's more, Emperor Qi was defeated in the three Han territories, and Emperor Han has already captured Qi.
He will lead his army back to help prevent our army from seizing the entire Yizhou land.
In the end, it may turn into a tug of war, and it may even fall into a situation where we are unable to advance or retreat."
Cao Cao waved his hand and said.
He knew that Xi Zhicai's plan did not have any problems and could be said to be very successful.
However, the only miscalculation was the determination of the Han army.
That determination to fight to the death.
Giving up the opportunity to save their lives will cost them heavy losses in the end.

In this one.
Although they ambushed the Han army and caused heavy losses to the Han army, and even caused the Han army general Zhang Ren to burn himself to death, they also suffered certain losses.
Not to mention the casualties of the 500,000-strong army, the 500,000-strong army lasted for three months.
Burning all the food and grass on fire would be enough to break their muscles and bones.
Otherwise, the troops would not be withdrawn so easily.
After all, if the food and grass are gone, they can still be mobilized from the rear.
However, it is a pity that they do not have enough food and grass in the rear.
If they are forced to recruit, it is likely to affect their rule.
As a last resort, they can only withdraw their troops to ensure development.
Thinking of Zhang Ren and the hundreds of Han soldiers who died.
It also gave him a great impact, and he sighed: "If all our soldiers are like Zhang Ren, why worry about not being able to accomplish anything?
It's a pity."
Having said that.
But he also knew that there were such loyal people among his subordinates, but not everyone was like this.
Even Liu Qi's subordinates were like this.
Not everyone would sacrifice their lives for Liu Qi like this.
If you want everyone to be like this, that's just a thought "Indeed, even if we have different views and do not work together, I have to admit that I have admiration for the Han general Zhang Ren in my heart."
Xi Zhicai told the truth, this has nothing to do with the camp or hostile relationship, it's just a matter of personal opinion.
"So do I."
Cao Cao nodded.
Although Zhang Ren is a general of the Han army, it cannot be denied that the current hostile relationship is just that they have different plans and cannot say anything.
A man is still worthy of respect.
Therefore, after the fire was extinguished, he still had Zhang Ren's ashes and weapons packed up, sent to the Han army camp, and returned to Wei Yan's hands.
"Your Majesty, let's not talk about Zhang Ren.
Now the Han Emperor has fully taken over the land of Qi.
According to the news from various places, the Han Emperor has also led his army back from Qingzhou.
The battle situation in Jiangxia is also based on the Wu army.
It ended with a defeat for both sides and the Han army."
"If we wait until the Han Emperor has rested, he will definitely launch troops against Wu.
If Wu falls again, our army will face many disadvantages when facing the powerful Han army.
And after this time, the Han army has also entered a period of weakness.
Period, suitable for planning” Xi Zhicai said analytically, his eyes shining.
Hear the words.
Cao Cao's tiger eyes also flashed with light.
How could he not know that today's Han State is short of troops, which is suitable for planning.
but.
"Having said that, Ke Zhicai, don't forget that our army does not have too much food and grass now.
Although the losses of the army are not big, the most important thing is that we do not have enough food and grass to conquer the Han Dynasty."
Cao Cao sighed.
Facing such an opportunity, but unable to plan for some reasons, he also felt a pity in his heart.
Hear Cao Cao's words.
Xi Zhicai also reacted.
He only thought about the shortage of troops in Han Dynasty, but ignored the fact that they had no food and grass, and it was because of the lack of food and grass that he withdrew from Yizhou.
"I have not considered it enough," Xi Zhicai shook his head and said with a wry smile.
Cao Cao waved his hand and didn't care.

After all, even he was very moved.
Otherwise, it would no longer be easy to wait until Liu Qi took over the Qi Kingdom, consolidate the situation, and then plan.
"This matter can be planned slowly.
After all, I can't wait to take any action, but under such circumstances, the Han Emperor also can't take any further action," Cao Cao said.
Xi Zhicai also nodded, agreeing with Cao Cao's words.
"It may be calm for a while now, but if you are confident enough, you can make some plans."
Cao Cao said seriously, "We will also send people to keep an eye on Shouchun's situation."
"Nuo" Xi Zhicai responded.
The two of them stopped talking about this matter and played chess seriously.
It's like nothing happened
