Chapter 253
"If the lord asks Liu Shan for help, it is natural that Liu Shan will send troops, Cao Cao is indeed defeated by the Liu family's army, Yizhou will not be taken by Cao Cao, and the lord will not become Cao Cao's prisoner, but have you ever wondered, who is Liu Shan? He will let the lord continue to be the pastor of Yizhou?"
Fa Zheng stood up and retorted that he didn't want Liu Zhang to lose Yizhou.
did not support Liu Zhang's surrender to Cao Cao, nor did he support Liu Zhang's request for help from Liu Shan.
"Even if Liu Shan doesn't let the lord continue to be the pastor of Yizhou, at least he won't live the days of being a prisoner! Liu Shan is a benevolent and righteous man, and besides, the lord and Liu Bei are both relatives of the Han family, and Liu Shan will definitely not attack the lord. "
Zhang Song continued, still insisting that Liu Zhang send someone to ask for help.
Seeing that Zhang Song and Fa Zheng couldn't hold on and had their own opinions, Liu Zhang didn't speak.
He knew very well that as a pastor of Yizhou, he had to make a decision at this time to keep Yizhou.
"Yongnian, let's let the main attack make the decision! I believe that the lord can consider the people of Yizhou. "
Fa Zheng saw that Liu Zhang was thinking! He and Zhang Song had their own opinions, so it was better to let Liu Zhang decide for himself.
Zhang Song nodded, he knew that Liu Zhang was the lord of Yizhou, and he and Fa Zheng were just ministers.
Seeing that Zhang Song and Fa Zheng were no longer arguing, Liu Zhang slowly stood up at this time.
He took Zhang Song and Fa Zheng to the city wall, looked at Cao Cao in the distance, and had already set up a position to attack the city.
"I wonder what the two of you have to retreat from the enemy?"
Seeing Cao Cao's army, Liu Zhang asked.
Yizhou has 150,000 soldiers and horses, which is far from Cao Cao's 100,000.
"Lord, the best strategy is to ask Liu Shan of Jingzhou to help, there is no other way! Don't hesitate, after Cao Cao breaks the city, it will be too late to regret!"
Zhang Song said anxiously, he saw that Cao Cao was ready to attack the city, if Liu Zhang couldn't make a decision for a long time, it meant that there was no room for maneuver.
Fa Zheng didn't speak at this time, he wanted to give Liu Zhang a little time to think.
When Xu Chu and Yu Ban left, the Yizhou army was ready to defend to the death.
The 150,000 Yizhou army was led by Pang Xi, and the order he received was to hold on and not go out of the city to face the battle.
"Yongnian, apart from asking Liu Shan for help, is there really no good strategy? Yizhou's 150,000 military horses still rely on the terrain and can't hold on?"
Liu Zhang shook his head and asked Zhang Song, if he could resist Cao Cao, he naturally didn't want to ask Liu Shan for help.
Although there are 150,000 people in the city, the lord thinks about Cao Cao's subordinates, all of whom are northern generals, good at charging into battle, and fighting everywhere all year round, while the Yizhou army has held on for many years and has not really fought!"
Zhang Song told Liu Zhang very truthfully that 50,000 troops and horses would not be able to withstand Cao Cao's attack if they were defending Yizhou.
Liu Zhang, who sighed, thought about Zhang Song and Fa Zheng's suggestions, and prepared to send people out of the city to Hanzhong.
"Lord, even if you can repel Cao's army and hold Yizhou, who can guarantee that Liu Shan will no longer send troops to attack? At that time, can you still block Liu Shan's attack?"
Zhang Song went on to say, this time Liu Zhang categorically decided to take refuge in Liu Shan.
Fa Zheng on the side stopped talking, and he now thinks that what Zhang Song said is reasonable.
If he hadn't refused Cao Cao's banquet at the beginning, Fa Zheng felt that it was also a way out.
Liu Zhang then sent one of the most credible soldiers, named Zhao Wei, with a letter written by him, to prepare for Hanzhong.
This letter is related to the survival of Yizhou, and if this letter is stopped by Cao Cao's men, then Liu Zhang will not be able to get in touch with Liu Shan.
Cao Cao has already been overwhelmed by a large army, and if he wants to escape under Cao Cao's nose, he must attract his attention.
"Pang Xi, you take 50,000 horses to meet the enemy, Zhao Wei, you take five attendants to leave from the West Gate, you must rush to Hanzhong as soon as possible, remember not to be targeted by Cao Cao's men and horses!"
Liu Zhang suddenly opened his mind and came up with a plan for the golden cicada to come out of its shell, so that Zhao Wei could smoothly ask for help.
Pang Xi, as the general of Yizhou Zuo, knew that it was incumbent on him, so he did not hesitate to order 50,000 troops.
"Leading troops out of the city is not to stop with Cao Cao, just to attract Cao Cao's attention, if you can delay time, try to delay time, and you must not start a war with Cao Cao!"
Liu Zhang once again instructed Pang Xi to lest Pang Xi fall in love with the war and be killed by Cao Cao's army.
Pang Xi nodded, he understood what Liu Zhang meant, when the city gate was opened, he saw Pang Xi with an army of 50,000, and with a burst of shouts, he rushed out of Yizhou City.
This surprised Cao Cao, he was just about to start attacking the city, but he didn't expect Liu Zhang to send people out of the city to fight.
"Which general, willing to go to battle!"
Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu and the other soldiers, and asked with a smile.
"Lord, I wish the best before!"
Cao Ren was the first to stand up and say that he knew that since he was defeated by Liu Shan last time, he had to find an opportunity to highlight his ability.
Xiahoudun and others, seeing that Cao Ren wanted to make meritorious contributions, gave this opportunity to Cao Ren.
"Well, go ahead!"
Cao Cao said lightly, dealing with the Yizhou army is just a matter of wielding two knives.
"Yizhou Xiaojun, who dares to come out and fight with me Cao Ren?"
Cao Ren came to the front of the battle and loudly provoked the Yizhou army.
Pang Xi rode forward alone, and the 50,000 soldiers behind him stared at Pang Xi tightly.
"Who is coming? Quickly report the name, this general will not kill the nameless ghost under the sword!"
Cao Ren said to Pang Xi very arrogantly, and he didn't take the Yizhou army in his eyes.
I saw Pang Xi laughing, and then slashed at Cao Ren with a knife, no matter who he won the battle.
Cao Ren saw that Pang Xi was about to come up to die so soon, so he also waved his knife and went up to meet him.
When Pang Xi's big knife and Cao Ren's big knife collided together, sparks kept popping out.
The two of them fought very fiercely, no matter how big or small!_
