2590、Three-party retreat

"It's OK."

Taishici said: "Cao Ren fled in a panic, Liu Bei's people were seriously injured, and the soldiers suffered great losses. The King of Yan must be very satisfied with this."

Zhang He shook his head and said depressedly: "If it weren't for your help, it would be difficult for me to win."

Zhang He was frustrated. His status was the same as that of Taishi Ci and Ma Chao. If it were not for Ma Chao and Taishi Ci's help, it would be really not easy for him to win this time, and he might even be attacked by Cao Ren and defeated.

Before, Zhang He made this plan with the help of Ma Chao Taishi Ci. After Ji Ling sneaked into the grain road and burned the grain and grass, the few remaining grain and grass in General Zhang He collected.

He just gave the other soldiers a half-day ration to retreat to Wuguan, and at the same time asked Wuguan to quickly transport food and grass, so that the distance between the two sides could be shortened by about two days. Even if the soldiers were hungry, they would be hungry for about one day.

Let ordinary soldiers retreat, leaving only 5,000 Black Scale Army among the 10,000 Black Scale Army. The collected food and grass can support them for about three days.

Zhang He and the other two were sure that as long as they retreated, Cao Ren would definitely catch up.

In fact, this is true. Cao Ren did come to catch up with him with others, but Cao Ren's actions were beyond Zhang He and the others' expectations.

Cao Ren was able to suppress his inner impulse, but he just took the people far behind, putting pressure on Zhang He and the others, and refused to take action.

Therefore, Zhang He had to attack Liu Bei's army once with him to threaten Cao Ren and the others to take action.

If Zhu Huan and the others were attacked by sneak attack, but Cao Ren still refused to take action, it would definitely make Zhu Huan and the others dissatisfied, and they felt that Cao Ren was cheating them.

Cao Ren also knew this, so after Zhu Huan and the others were attacked, Cao Ren had to take action.

If you don’t take action, it will easily make Zhu Huan and the others feel dissatisfied, and it will affect the relationship between Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the future.

"It's a pity that Cao Ren ran away." Ma Chao said again.

Cao Ren ran too fast, and he left most of the soldiers behind and asked them to stop Ma Chao's pursuit. Ma Chao was able to kill some soldiers in the end, allowing Cao Ren to escape safely.

"I won't let him go." Zhang He gritted his teeth and said with hatred.

A great shame and humiliation!

He actually suffered a loss at Cao Ren's hands and spread it out, which made him feel embarrassed to see others.

Although he was injured by the trap, Zhang He was the leader, and his biggest responsibility was Zhang He.

"Go back to Wuguan first, tell the King of Yan about what happened here, and let the King of Yan decide." Taishici said to Zhang He.

Now is a good opportunity to take advantage of the victory, but unfortunately, they don’t have enough food and grass in their hands, so they must go back to Wuguan to repair it.

However, it would be good to have such a result, at least it was a small victory over Cao Ren.

Soon, the result was also revealed. It was indeed a small victory over Cao Ren. At least 3,000 soldiers Cao Ren brought, stayed, and hundreds of them disappeared. It was considered to be that Cao Ren was able to bring back ordinary soldiers.

It was a small victory against Cao Ren, but it was a big victory against Zhu Huan and others. Zhu Huan had three thousand soldiers and one thousand soldiers and Ji Ling, and at least more than 3,000 people were left behind.

There were less than 300 soldiers who followed them into the woods, and many of them disappeared. Moreover, Zhu Huan, Wei Yan and Ji Ling were also injured, which was a great loss.

I believe that this result reached Liu Bei's ears, and Liu Bei must have cried.

After Zhang He brought his men back to Wuguan, after two days of rest, Zhang He, despite Taishi Ci and Ma Chao's dissuasion, brought 10,000 troops out of Wuguan and rushed straight to Cao Ren's camp.

However, Cao Ren had already withdrawn back to Wancheng first, and Cao Ren also strengthened his troops to defend the city along the way and moved the people outside into the city.

If Zhang He wanted to attack these cities, he would suffer a lot of losses.

In the end, Zhang He could only retreat in depression.

Zhang He didn't plan to give up. He was looking for opportunities to continue to look good to Cao Ren, but Cao Ren seemed to be scared out of his burden. No matter what, he just didn't leave the city. Even if Zhang He led his people to attack the nearby city, he did not leave the city to intercept Zhang He.

Cao Ren's approach made Zhang He feel so angry that he had even considered whether to lead people to attack Wancheng.

Just when Zhang He was trying to deal with Cao Ren, Liu Zhe's order came from Youzhou and asked Zhang He to withdraw his troops and retreat back to Yongzhou.

Zhang He had no choice but to take his men to retreat to Yongzhou.

Zhang He's retreat made many people, especially Cao Ren, breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure on Zhang He put too much.

Especially the Black Scale Army, this is an unsolvable existence. Facing it head-on, it has no win at all. If there is a Tiger and Leopard Cavalry that is twice as good as the Black Scale Army, Cao Ren can also try to fight with the Black Scale Army.

But the problem is that the tiger and leopard cavalry are all in Xudu, and Cao Cao dare not send them to reinforce Cao Ren.

Everyone knows that the Black Scale Army is Liu Zhe's trump card and also the flesh of Liu Zhe. If it causes too much casualties to the Black Scale Army and angers Liu Zhe, the consequences will be even more serious.
