Xia Houyuan glanced at Zang Ba, waved his hand and said, "Go back to camp first."
At this moment, Xia Houyuan led the army back to the camp.
Zang Ba looked confused and followed Xia Houyuan closely.
After returning to the camp, Zang Ba went straight to Xia Houyuan's Chinese army tent and asked again: "Grand Governor, can you tell me the reason?"
Xia Houyuan said: "In the past, when we used troops against Xuzhou, Xu Shu could not defend and did not fight with us.
Today, Xu Shu sent Zhou Tai to fight, and the soldiers sent were all elites in the army, and there was a faint tendency to go all out.
I guess that the war in the north The result must have come out and Xu Shu got the news, so he dared to send troops without any scruples. " I have to say that Xia Houyuan is really powerful and he really guessed Xu Shu's thoughts.
Moreover, Xu Shu did get the news.
Zang Ba scratched his head and said: "Grand Governor, no matter whether Wang Can has solved the foreign tribes in the north or not, we have to use troops.
For us, we cannot interfere in the war in the north.
The most important thing at the moment is to defeat Xu Shu, capture Pengcheng, and then in He drove Xu Shu out of Xuzhou in a short time and took control of Xuzhou. " After a pause, Zang Ba said: "Only by controlling Xuzhou can the situation in Qingzhou and Yanzhou be stabilized.
Without Xuzhou as a barrier to resist, Qingzhou and Yanzhou will be exposed to the eyes of the Shu army, and the war will be even more unfavorable."
Zang Ba's eyes were burning, waiting for Xia Houyuan's explanation.
Xia Houyuan sighed and said: "Xuan Gao, your suggestion is correct, but it is inappropriate.
If we attack Xuzhou with force, we will definitely lose our troops in the end.
Even if we defeat Xu Shu, we will wait for Wang Can's command The army moves south, and the Shu army attacks Xuzhou again.
Can we hold it?
If we can't hold Xuzhou, the dead soldiers will die in vain.
What we need to do now is to conserve our troops as much as possible, and build various fortifications, and prepare to switch from attack to defense. " Zang Ba was shocked when he heard this.
He felt that Xia Houyuan was stupid and should not do what he should do.
But no matter how Zang Ba persuaded him, Xia Houyuan remained indifferent and did not intend to fight decisively.
In fact, Xia Houyuan hoped that Wang Can would be defeated by the foreigners from the north.
Once Wang Can is defeated, Xiahou Yuan will take Xuzhou even if he loses his army, and then recuperate and defend Xuzhou.
Now Wang Can has defeated the foreign tribes in the north, and the military front is even worse, making it difficult to resist.
Even if Xiahou Yuan captured Xuzhou, he would not be able to hold it, so he did not dare to use troops again.
Yuzhou, Ancheng County.
Lu Xun was ordered to enter Yuzhou and take command of Ancheng.
After he arrived in Yuzhou, he immediately withdrew the troops stationed in the counties bordering Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and decisively gave up part of the territory to the north of Yuzhou.
Subsequently, Lu Xun began a series of adjustments, using Yingchuan County as a barrier, and building fortifications in Chen County, Qiao County and other places to defend Cao Ren's troops.
Even if Cao Ren challenged him to fight, Lu Xun strictly ordered not to attack.
In this case, Cao Ren was helpless.
Cao Ren's troops were only more than 20,000, and most of them were infantry.
They were too weak to attack the city and seize territory.
Lu Xun refused to fight, so Cao Ren could only confront Lu Xun, and the stalemate continued.
Lu Xun also had his own plan.
Except for his 30,000-strong army, he had no generals who were good at fighting, so he chose to defend and wait for the results from the north.
Governor's Mansion, study.
Lu Xun was handling official business in the study when a soldier hurried in.
The soldier reported back: "Sir, there is news from the north."
After that, the soldier handed the news to Lu Xun.
Lu Xun took the note and read it carefully.
His face showed excitement and he nodded repeatedly.
He thought for a while, picked up the writing brush, wrote a letter quickly, sealed it and handed it to the soldier, and ordered: "Send the letter to Your Majesty and go and deal with it immediately."
"promise"
The soldier clasped his fists in response, turned around and left the study.

Lu Xun's letter was actually a request for help, asking Wang Can to dispatch generals to Yuzhou to support him and prepare to counterattack Cao Ren.
After all, Lu Xun only had soldiers under his command and no capable generals, so it was difficult to charge on the battlefield.
As long as he has the leading generals and Lu Xun's plan, Lu Xun is sure to defeat Cao Ren, then march his army into Yanzhou and seize the land where Cao Cao made his fortune.
In the northern land, although it is the beginning of spring again, the cold wind is still blowing.
Wang Can and Zhao Yun's armies joined together, entered Youzhou, and quickly captured Youzhou.
The army did not stop, and Wang Can continued to use troops against Jizhou.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Wang Can, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Fazheng, Sima Yi, Zhao Yun and others were discussing matters in the big tent.
The matter discussed was the attack on Jizhou.
Fazheng and Guo Jia thought of attacking Yecheng directly and approaching the capital of Wei, while Sima Yi and Jia Xu thought of attacking step by step and gradually swallowing up the territory of Jizhou.
People on both sides kept arguing, but Wang Can sat quietly without speaking.
Both sides insist on their own opinions and refuse to give in to each other.
Guo Jiaxiao asked: "Your Majesty, what are your plans?"
A smile appeared on Wang Can's lips and he said: "I more agree with the plan of directly sending troops to attack Yecheng, approaching Yecheng, destroying the morale of the Wei army, and then defeating Cao Cao's army."
When Jia Xu and Sima Yi heard this, they knew they must go south directly.
At this time, Shi A hurriedly walked in.
Shi Achao bowed to Wang Can and reported: "Your Majesty, I have just received a letter from Governor Gan.
The army has destroyed 60,000 Xiongnu fine cavalry, and killed Huchuquan, the great Chan of the Xiongnu, as well as Liu Bao, the wise king of the left, and Liu Bao, the right king of the right.
The wise king has gone to Bei.
Now that the army has returned to the court, it is estimated that it has arrived in Chang'an and is heading towards Luoyang."
After a pause, Shi A added: "Lu Xun sent a message asking your Majesty to send a strong general to support him.
He is preparing to counterattack Cao Ren."
Wang Can thought for a while and said, "Send an order to Zhang Liao and Huang Xu to return directly to Yuzhou, attack Cao Ren with Lu Xun, and start sweeping the territory of Wei."
"Send an order to Gan Ning, Taishi Ci, Pang Tong, and Li Ru, asking them to send troops into Luoyang, join Gao Shun and Xu Rong stationed at Hulao Pass, and leave Hulao Pass east to attack Yanzhou."
"Instruct Xu Shu to switch from defense to offense.
Let him take Zhou Tai and Zhu Huan north to deal with Xiahou Yuan as soon as possible."
Wang Can issued successive orders, ordering armies from all directions to surround Wei and launch an all-out attack.
After receiving the order, Shi A rushed to convey the order.
Wang Can looked at the civil servants and generals in the big tent and said: "Now that the situation has been achieved, and the army has surrounded the Wei State, there is no need for a protracted battle.
I have decided to lead the army to march straight in, approach Yecheng directly, and attack the Wei State.
The capital of the country.”
Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to be the vanguard."
Noriman also stood up immediately and said angrily: "Your Majesty, the last general is also willing to be the vanguard."
Dian Wei saw Dian Man standing up with a smile on his face.
Today, Dianman has fully matured, especially after following Jia Xu on a trip to the Wuhuan hinterland, he became even more decisive in killing.
Immediately afterwards, Huang Zhong, Chen Dao and others asked for battle one after another, wanting to be the vanguard.
Wang Can ordered: "Lü Meng, Dian Man, Wei Yan, Zhang Ren, and Chen Dao listened to the order.
With Lü Meng as the vanguard general, Dian Man, Wei Yan, and Chen Dao as deputy generals, they led an army of 10,000 to attack Yecheng."
"The general will obey his orders" The four people clasped their fists in response, their faces filled with excitement.
Wang Can glanced at the generals below again and ordered: "Huang Zhong serves as the commander-in-chief of the left army and leads an army of 50,000 people.
Zhao Yun serves as the commander-in-chief of the right army and leads an army of 50,000 people.
The rest of the generals follow me and lead the rest of the army.
The army rushed to Yecheng."
As Wang Can's order was conveyed, the final decisive battle finally began
