Last night, Wen Chou defeated Dong Camp and killed Yang Ding. The specific battle process and victory were unknown to the defenders in Liang County. However, Wen Chou won a great victory and Yang Ding's defeat, the defenders in Liang County had already learned that - after all, the Yuzhou lieutenant outside Liang County had only 3,000 soldiers, and could not be surrounded by Liang County, so the news in the city and outside was not completely cut off. It was related to the city's defense and its own safety. The guards of Liang County were always paying attention to Wen Chou's movements when Sun Jian's troops entered the territory. Wen Chou and Sun Jian passed the city and did not fight and directly attacked Yang Ding's camp. He knew that he had learned about Wen Chou's victory last night around noon today.

From the time I learned the news at noon to the time of night, the guards summoned officers and held two military conventions.

Once, after learning about Yang Ding's defeat at noon.

Once Yang Ding was defeated, the two sides of the Ru River were a hundred miles away, leaving only the two Dong armies of Liangxian and Zhucheng.

The city is small, with only hundreds of soldiers in the city, which can be ignored. In other words, the existing Dong soldiers in the surrounding area are actually only one or two thousand people left in Liang County. When Yang Ding's camp was in, the two thousand Dong soldiers in Liang County could echo Yang Ding's river near, and the far away could also respond to Hu Zhen in Yique and Guanzhong. However, now that Yang Ding's defeat is equivalent to splitting this Dong soldiers and Hu Zhen in Yique and Guanzhong. In other words, to a certain extent, they have become an "alone army".

This is a big problem.

At the first military discussion around noon, the military waiters, Sima and the garrison leaders of each song were endlessly discussing and arguing.

Some people believe that Yang Ding has been defeated, Wen Chou and Sun Jian have won. At this time, Liang County should defend the city and must not go out of the city to fight.

Some people also believe that when Wen Chou and Sun Jian attacked Yang Ding, Liang County should send troops out of the city to attack Wen Chou's rear formation. At that time, because there were too many people who opposed it, this strategy was not implemented. Now Yang Ding was defeated. Only Liang County is the "alone city" left, and he cannot defend it. So now he should immediately lead troops out of the city, or go west or north. In short, he cannot continue to stay in the city and wait for Wen Chou to return to the army to siege.

There are many opponents of this opinion of "leading troops out of the city".

The opposing people said: There are three thousand Wen soldiers outside the city, and Wen Chou and Sun Jian won a great victory. If you leave the city now, you will be bitten by Wen soldiers outside the city first. Secondly, Wen Chou and Sun Jian have won, then their main force has been vacated. Once you hear this, you will soon send your troops to fight with Wen soldiers outside the city. By then, there will be no city to defend and you can only fight in the field. With few enemies, you will inevitably be defeated.

I think this strategy is absolutely undesirable.

There are many different opinions and endless disputes, and no one can convince anyone.

Finally, the guard made a decision and said, "The situation in the enemy is unknown now. I only know that the defeat of the Yuan Zhengwei, but I don't know where the main force of Wen and Sun are. If we rashly leave the city, we may lose. Let's make a decision after we have discovered the situation."

In the evening, the exploring cavalry in Liang County discovered the movements of Wen Chou and the main force of Sun Jian's army came to report again.

Upon hearing about Wen Chou, Sun Jian led his troops to the north. The guards summoned the officers to the commander's tent and held the second military convention.

He said to everyone: "It is reported that Wen and Sun commanded more than 20,000 main force to the north Yique Pass. Now, in addition to our city, thousands of troops outside the city, there are also more than 10,000 troops stationed inside and outside the camp of Yuan's former camp."

An officer immediately said, "Wen, General Sun defeated Yang Ding and took advantage of the victory to promote courage. This must be going to Yique Pass."

However, some people also doubted and said, "There are 30,000 elite soldiers in Yique Passage and I am a fierce and civil servant. Sun Hou cannot not know that if the two of them want to attack the barriers, they will never lead only more than 30,000 people. How could more than 30,000 people be able to conquer Yique Passage?"

Someone asked, "Then do you think civil and military are so powerful, so what did Sun Hou do?"

"Before the defeat of the army, I thought I would send cavalry to Yique for help. The civil and military force was fierce. Sun Hou went north. I remember that there were hills dozens of miles north. It was a must-pass place from Yique to Yuan’s camp. The civil and military force was fierce. Will Sun Hou set up an ambush to attack the support?"

"Even we know that Captain Yuan was defeated, how could he not know that Yique Guanzhong? Even if Captain Yuan had sent cavalry to ask for help, now Yique's reinforcements must have retreated. Civil and military force are fierce, what kind of reinforcements can Sun Hou fight?"

"As long as some cavalry are sent out to scatter in the hills in the north, it is not difficult to cut off the Yique Pass. Although the Captain Yuan has been defeated, perhaps Yique Pass has not yet known it."

"Then what do you think our department should do now?"

"Like a civil and military force, Sun Hou really went to attack the aid. I have three strategies for top, middle and lower."

The guard asked, "Why is the plan?"

"Follow the city, cross the Ru River, and attack the civil and military man. After Sun Hou's army, he attacked the reinforcements from Yique Pass from north to south, and he will definitely win the battle."

"Why did you fall into the trap?"

"Take the fierce civil and military affairs, the main force of Sun Hou went north, our troops abandoned the city and walked westward, and entered Luhun Pass."

"What's the plan?"

"Gucheng defends itself in order to expect civil and military strength, and the Sun Hou will be defeated."

The guard thoughtfully and said, "Our army has only two thousand people, and there are nearly 20,000 civil soldiers outside the city and the north bank. If you want to attack the civil and military force, Sun Hou's army needs to pass through them. The risk is too great and it is difficult to complete. The plan is not advisable. Gucheng defends itself. If Sun Hou wins again and returns to the army to surround me, wouldn't I be unable to escape? It is also not advisable." Thinking of this, there is only a second plan to be advisable.

He said, "I want to take the strategy of the Central Committee, why do you guys think?"

The best strategy requires great courage, and the worst strategy is to place your expectations on others. It is either too dangerous or unreliable. For ordinary people, they will choose the strategy.

The officers present agreed.

Yang Ding was defeated, and Liang County became an "alone city". Since he decided to take advantage of Wen Chou and Sun Jian's great opportunity to go north to escape, it would be fine. So the Liang County defenders decided to go out to the west of the city at night tonight.

The Yuzhou lieutenant's headquarters outside the city only surrounded the south and west sides of Liang County. There was no encirclement on the east and north sides, and the Rushui River was the north. If you can't walk, the feasible road was the east side.

It is a bit troublesome to go out of the city to get away from the Yuzhou lieutenant in the south of the city, after leaving the city, you have to walk a few steps south and then turn west. However, there is no way. Just walk more roads, and you will always be more powerful than fighting with the Yuzhou lieutenant in the south of the city and go directly to the military camp where he set up in the west of the city.

Usually when dawn is approaching, it is the most sleepy time for people. For the soldiers on the battlefield, it is almost dawn and they are "most negligent" when dawn is approaching, and they have been relieved after all night. Therefore, the Liang County garrison set the time to leave the city at the fifth update. (To be continued.)
