    After noon, the sun shines on people's bodies, adding a touch of heat.  After all, it is already April and summer is about to begin.  However, in this weather, hiding under the shade of trees is still cool.  An army stopped on the official road and rested in twos and threes under the shade of the trees beside the road. Many people were breathing heavily.

    This is Cao Xuan¡¯s army.

    The army retreated all the way, retreating for almost two hours, and now it stopped to rest.

    Cao Xuan rested with Cen Wen and Cheng Lin. They rode on horseback and were relatively relaxed.  However, the losses in this battle were huge, and the expression on Cao Xuan's face was extremely cold and solemn, even more so.

    Cao Xuan established himself in Yanzhou, and it was not easy for him to raise the current army to its current scale.  But in the current battle, his army suffered heavy losses, including Xiang Peng and others, so he felt sad in his heart.

    Cao Xuan, Cen Wen and Chen Lin all looked solemn, and none of them spoke for the time being.

    After a while, Wang Ben came.

    Wang Ben reported in a low voice: "Lord, there are only more than 16,000 soldiers who have withdrawn with us now. This time, more than half of our 40,000-strong army was lost. Although there are still a group of soldiers who escaped, they will be reunited one after another.  Escape back. But we still suffered huge losses."

    Cao Xuan immediately clenched his fists, his eyes were fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Qi and I are incompatible."

    His career in the first half of his life was relatively smooth.  It's just that he has never succeeded in his youth. Compared with many people, he is still very good.  But in the past few years, the Great Zhou Dynasty has disappeared. With the help of Cen Wen and others, he has soared into the sky, like a carp jumping over a dragon's gate.

    This battle destroyed Cao Xuan¡¯s pride and fighting spirit.

    Cao Xuan truly saw Wang Qi¡¯s strength.

    It¡¯s really too strong.

    You know, Cao Xuan sent four great masters to deal with Wang Qi and Xia Houhu, but only one came back, and the other three were defeated.  And after this battle, his army was defeated, losing more than half.

    Cao Xuan took a deep breath, calmed down his furious mood, and ordered: "Wang Ben, please rectify the soldiers and stabilize the morale of the army. Although we have lost this battle, we may not really be afraid of Wang Qi. We will have to fight again in the future."  war."

    "yes!"

    Wang Ben nodded and answered.

    He turned around to comfort the soldiers and boost their morale.

    Cao Xuan looked at Cen Wen and Cheng Lin and said, "Military Advisor, Director Cheng, what should we do now?"

    There was a hint of solemnity on Cen Wen's carefree face, and he said slowly: "My lord, Wang Qi is extremely powerful. After this battle, at least we can no longer be enemies with Wang Qi. There is still a small thing in my heart.  idea."

    Cao Xuan said: "What little idea?"

    Cen Wen said: "My idea is that after this battle, although we are defeated, we still have a chance to retaliate. Because Wang Qi's focus is not on our Yanzhou. He defeated us this time, and he should turn to Jizhou next time.  Start a war with Zhang Shiqi."

    "So we took them by surprise and waited for Wang Qi and Zhang Shiqi to start a war. Then we sent a group of soldiers to raid the rear of Qi and enter Pingyuan County. By then we will naturally be able to retaliate and recover everything we lost."

    After Cao Xuan heard this, he thought about it carefully and thought it was feasible.

    As long as Wang Qi's army leaves, there will be an opportunity.

    Cheng Lin said: "Lord, I'm afraid things are not that simple."

    Cao Xuan asked: "What does Master Cheng mean?"

    Cheng Lin replied: "Originally, in Yanzhou, my lord invaded the Qi State. Even though he had not actually invaded, my lord's actions caused many people to oppose it. Some people even spread the word that the lord was destroying himself by hitting an egg against a stone.  "

    "Coupled with the defeat of this battle, it will lead to turbulent public sentiment in the states and counties, and more people will participate, disrupt the situation and exert pressure. Therefore, in the current situation, I am afraid that we must first stabilize the internal situation."

    "If we can't do this step, it will be very difficult to raid Qi State. Even after losing this battle, I'm afraid it will cause an uproar in the official circles."

    Cheng Lin said: "In order to fight against foreign aggression, we need to stabilize the domestic situation. We need to stabilize the domestic situation first and then consider other things."

    Cao Xuan's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he admitted that Cheng Lin's analysis made sense.

    If we attack Qi and win, everything will be easy.

    The key is to lose.

    Even Xiang Peng, Xi Qing and Zhao Xie fell on the battlefield, and now they are going to war with Qi. People in Yanzhou must be panicked, which is extremely inappropriate.

    Cao Xuan took a deep breath.??, it¡¯s just mediocre in Dazen Temple.  According to my grandfather¡¯s explanation in his later years, I learned that there was a great master in the Grand Zen Temple, but it was not easy to invite the Grand Master in the Great Zen Temple.  "

    Cao Xuan said: "No matter what, we have to give it a try. What if we succeed? Once we succeed, we will truly establish a foothold in Yanzhou. The intimidating power of the Grand Master is by no means ordinary."

    Cen Wen said: "Lord, when it comes to the Grand Master, our plan will be slightly adjusted. Those who should be sent to the border to lurk should still be sent to lurk in order to wait for opportunities. However, we will not send troops to attack before we visit the Great Zen Temple.  . It won¡¯t be too late to decide after we return from our trip to the Grand Zen Temple.¡±

    Cheng Lin was not in favor of sending more troops because of the internal instability in Yanzhou. Now after hearing Cen Wen's words, she immediately said: "My lord, Military Advisor Cen's suggestion is feasible. I second it."

    Cao Xuandao: "We can arrange it this way. Our army will continue to withdraw first and station in the town to rest. Then, we will go directly to the Great Zen Temple."

    Having said this, Cao Xuan could no longer control his thoughts and became anxious. He stopped resting and directly ordered to set off so that he could find a place to rest as soon as possible.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
