As long as Cao Ren's retreat was cut off, Cao Ren could not attack. Even if he wanted to attack, his soldiers could not.

Cao Ren looked around and said that the spy's voice did not deliberately lower just now. The soldiers around the news that the back road was cut off were heard. As they whispered, the news continued to spread. All the soldiers who heard the news looked dull and their morale quickly fell.

Even if Cao Ren ordered the soldiers in this state, they could not be able to take off their spirits. They were not fools, and their backs were cut off and surrounded by both sides, so they had nowhere to escape.

In this state, the soldiers were already ready to not collapse, and it was impossible to let them continue to attack.

Even the soldiers who went to test the attack quietly retreated. Although they could not hear the words behind, they were very panicked by the general's lack of command and the strange atmosphere in the air.

Cao Ren was not in the mood to pursue the soldiers and retreated without getting the order. Now his head was hurting, thinking about what to do next.

According to Cao Cao's intention, Cao Ren gave up Yongzhou and left the place outside Chang'an, gathered the soldiers from those places, and joined forces to attack Tongguan on both sides. Because Liu Zhe had only more than 20,000 troops in Tongguan, he could not support the full attack of more than 100,000 troops on both sides.

However, Liu Zhe's sneak attack failed Cao Cao's wishful thinking. Cao Cao's own strength was on the verge of attacking Liu Zhe for two days, and suffered numerous losses. As for Cao Ren, he had to spend several days preparing to attack the city again.

After making preparations, he brought his troops to Tongguan City. Cao Cao on the other side was already attacking. When he was preparing to attack, he received the bad news that Weinan was captured.

The rear route was cut off, and Weinan was only more than 100 miles away. It could reach it in half a day at the speed of a cavalry. Now attack, unless Cao Ren is confident to capture Tongguan within half a day, but Cao Ren does not have this confidence.

Looking at the panic expressions of his subordinates around him, Cao Ren was really unconfident and even doubted whether they would obey the orders of his orders.

Now, Cao Ren has no choice but to retreat to Huayin City, defend Huayin City, and wait for rescue.

Weinan was captured, and he went back to Chang'an, with the Wei River to the north and Huashan to the south. The only places Cao Ren could go to were Huaxian and Huayin from Weinan to Tongguan. Huaxian had almost been abandoned by Cao Ren, and Huayin was the best place for Cao Ren.

Fortunately, in order to attack Tongguan, Cao Ren stored a large amount of supplies in Huayin City. The army retreated into Huayin City and was trapped and would not starve to death.

Cao Ren hopes to rely on defending Huayin and wait for Cao Cao to capture Tongguan to rescue him, otherwise his tens of thousands of soldiers would be over.

"Look, wolf smoke." Cao Ren gave the order with difficulty.

Two wolves rose into the air, and Cao Ren closed his eyes in pain. He felt ashamed of Cao Cao's trust and did not cooperate with Cao Cao, allowing Cao Cao to face Liu Zhe's full defense alone, causing heavy losses.

"Cao Ren, why, are you leaving?"

Liu Zhe appeared on the city wall at this time. Seeing that Cao Ren was about to retreat, he shouted loudly: "Don't be anxious, sit down and have a cup of tea before leaving."

After hearing this, Cao Ren only regretted that he could not squirt Liu Zhe to death with blood. Liu Zhe's behavior was so hateful.

Cao Ren yelled at Liu Zhe: "Liu Zhe, wait for me."

Liu Zhe smiled and said, "Do you want me to send you off?"

"hateful!"

When Cao Ren heard this, he was shocked. Liu Zhe reminded him that if he retreated, Liu Zhe would take his troops behind him and "go farewell" and the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Burn all of this."

Cao Ren pointed to the various siege tools he had worked hard for several days and brought here with all his hard work, and ordered the soldiers to burn them down.

"All burn?" asked people around them in surprise, with reluctance on their faces. These were all created by working hard and working overtime these days, and they have not come in handy yet.

Cao Ren nodded and confirmed: "All burned."

He wanted to block these siege tools on the road to prevent Liu Zhe from leaving the city to follow and attack when he retreated.

"The whole army retreated..."

Looking at the raging fire behind him, Cao Ren ordered the entire army to retreat in pain.

Cao Ren's guess was indeed correct. Liu Zhe did want to lead his troops to see him off again when Cao Ren retreated. However, when Liu Zhe saw Cao Ren's rear army was very strong, and Cao Ren piled up the abandoned defensive tools on the road to block the road. Liu Zhe gave up the idea of ​​chasing.

Then, Liu Zhe ordered: "Send someone to clean up the road, send scouts to see where Ziyi has been, and let him come to meet quickly."

The 70,000 troops led by Taishi Ci in the sneak attack on Weinan were the 70,000 troops led by Huang Zhong, who went south from Niyang to attack Chang'an.

Tongguan is in urgent need of reinforcements now. Although Liu Zhe seems to be very relaxed now, he is not at all relaxed.
