    On the road leading to Ji County, the seat of Hanyang County.

    The army led by Cao Xuan has been on its way quickly, and his army is about to arrive in Ji County.  Cao Xuan's original plan was to temporarily retreat to Long County.  However, considering that the troops from Beidi County and Wudu County came to attack, once he was guarding Long County and Ji County was attacked, his retreat would be cut off, so Cao Xuan finally went straight to Ji County.

    When Cao Xuan was on his way with his army, a sentry came flying towards him from behind.

    The sentinel came to Cao Xuan's side and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a message from General Cao Yuanli in the rear. Please wait a moment, the people he leads are about to catch up with us."

    When Cao Xuan heard this, his expression froze.

    The arrival of Cao Yuanli means that Longguan has been lost, and even Longxian County in the rear has been given to Wang Qi.

    The Kingdom of Wei is now wide open and has completely lost its eastern defense line.

    Cao Xuan never refused, and temporarily ordered them to rest where they were.  After waiting for about half an hour, I saw a dusty army arriving quickly on the official road in the rear.

    The army led by Cao Yuanli marched day and night without any pause along the way.  Otherwise, he would not have been able to catch up with Cao Xuan's team who had evacuated first.

    Cao Yuanli now has only more than 4,000 people under his command. Many of them scattered along the way, so there are more than 4,000 elites left.  After Cao Yuanli and Cao Xuan met, he stood in front of Cao Xuan, with a miserable look on his face, and he prostrated and said: "Your Majesty, I failed to defend Long Pass, please forgive me."

    Cao Xuan stretched out his hand to support Cao Yuanli and said: "Brother, I am extremely grateful to you for staying at Longguan. Without you, Wang Qi's army would have chased after you. Originally, I asked you to do everything to protect yourself.  Premise. Now that you are back, great!"

    Cao Yuanli sighed: "I am incompetent, but Wang Qi is too cruel."

    Cao Xuandao: "How did he break through?"

    Cao Yuanli said: "Your Majesty, we have all been deceived by Wang Qi. During this period, it was indeed Wang Qi's troops attacking Wudu County and Beidi County, which caused damage to our two places."

    "But Wang Qi is not doing nothing outside Longguan, nor is he just delaying time. In fact, Wang Qi has been quietly arranging people to dig tunnels."

    "This tunnel was dug from his camp to the bottom of Longguan. Then the morning after you left, Wang Qi arrived with his troops and set fire to Longguan."

    "A huge Long Pass is indestructible. However, under the force of the explosion, the ground shook and Long Pass collapsed. Then, Wang Qi bombarded the mountains on both sides with artillery fire, suppressing the forces on both sides of us, and directly entered Long Pass.  "

    Cao Yuanli said: "I am incompetent and cannot resist, so I can only withdraw my troops."

    Hiss!  !

    Cao Xuanleng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

    ??My heart is very shocked.

    There is such a thing.

    At this moment, Cao Xuan was secretly glad that he had evacuated early.  If he had not led his troops to retreat one night in advance, once Longguan was blown up and the army was attacked by Wang Qi, they would have suffered countless losses and would not have been able to preserve so many troops.

    Cao Xuandao: "Brother, thank you for your hard work."

    Cao Yuanli said: "I didn't work hard, I just failed to live up to His Majesty's expectations."

    Cao Xuan shook his head and said: "This battle would have been more difficult if I had been at the rear. Brother, there is no need to apologize. Now Long County, Beidi County, and Wudu County have all been defeated, and the eastern defense line is gone. The situation we are facing,  How to think about defending the Wei State. Wang Qi is coming with great force. If we don't stop him, the Wei State will be destroyed soon."

    Cao Yuanli's expression suddenly became solemn.

    There is nothing he can do about this matter, he cannot change the situation.

    Cao Xuan immediately looked at Cheng Lin and said, "Mr. Cheng, what do you think we should do in this situation?"

    Cheng Lin looked bitter.

    He only felt that the current situation seemed to have returned to the past situation of consecutive defeats in Yanzhou.  In the past year in Yanzhou, facing the army of Qi, Wei was defeated and the Dazen Temple withdrew its troops. Cao Xuan retreated again and again, and finally retreated to Chang'an.

    Then the young emperor withdrew his troops from Chang'an, and Cao Xuan also retreated to Liangzhou.  Finally, I had a peaceful life in Liangzhou.  Unexpectedly, in just one or two years, I was faced with another difficult decision.

    Cheng Lin thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, for the current plan, we can only block the attack step by step. We retreat to Ji County, defend Ji County decisively, and strive to defend Ji County. The only thing we can do now is to block the attack. After all, we have no  Other ways.¡±

    Cao Xuandao: "I'm afraid it won't be easy to defend. Wang Qi's artillery fire is really too powerful. Even if we retreat to Ji County, it will be difficult."?One question.  "

    Cheng Lin said: "What's the problem?"

    Cao Xuandao: "Once Wang Qi directly isolates Ji County and surrounds it, how will we withdraw our troops? The retreat will be cut off. If it were in the past, if there were no cannons and rifles, it would be difficult to break through and evacuate.  fine."

    "Now that the opponent has artillery and rifles, once we withdraw, we will be bombed along the way and the losses will be even greater. In fact, it is very likely that we will not even be able to retreat."

    "Furthermore, the other side has artillery, etc., and they want to bombard Ji County, which also makes it difficult to defend."

    Cao Xuan looked helpless and said: "It is difficult to guard. This is the most practical problem."

    Cheng Lin said: "What does your Majesty mean?"

    A flash of light flashed across Cao Xuan's eyes, and he said: "If we can't stop the Qi army, we have no choice. My plan is to withdraw directly to Weiwu County and then order all places to resist. If all places surrender quickly, we will withdraw to the Western Regions.  Move the capital of Wei State to Gaochang County in the Western Regions."

    Gaochang County was the former Gaochang State. After Cao Xuan sent troops there, he easily destroyed Gaochang State, so he changed the country to a county and was directly incorporated into the Wei State and became a part of the Wei State.

    The countries in the Western Region were all transformed into one county.

    This is Cao Xuan¡¯s arrangement.

    Cheng Lin¡¯s old face showed a hint of shock and said: ¡°Your Majesty, does this mean you are giving up the foundation of Liangzhou?¡±

    Cao Xuan said bitterly: "For today's plan, if we don't give up on Liangzhou, can we hold it? If we can't hold it, we can only evacuate first. What we have to do is to delay time. The strength of the Wei State is worse than  Unfortunately for Wang Qi, we don¡¯t have such sharp weapons as cannons. So we chose to hide and retreat to the Western Regions. As long as we delay until Awell arrives, we will have cannons and the weapons will be updated, and we will have a turn for the better. Compared to staying in Liang  Zhou Fuyu stubbornly resisted and was even wiped out by Wang Qi. As long as he can survive, it is always better."

    After hearing this, Cheng Lin said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

    Cao Xuandao: "To withdraw our troops, first go directly to Weiwu County and take away all the officials and people. But this time we withdraw, I am afraid that the people of Wei will be scattered again."

    Cheng Lin sighed: "Your Majesty, there is nothing we can do about this."

    After a pause, Cheng Lin quickly said: "Now that things have come to this, I think we should quickly arrange for Jia Yu to prepare. Once we retreat to the rear, there is no need to waste time and we can evacuate directly from Weiwu County. With an extra day or two to prepare,  They¡¯re all different.¡±

    Cao Xuandao: "It's feasible!"

    He immediately called Jiang Jiuge over and said, "Jiang Jiuge, I have a task for you now."

    Jiang Jiuge said solemnly: "Please give me your Majesty's instructions."

    Cao Xuan said in a deep voice: "You also know about Qi's weapons. Now we need to wait for Aiweier's weapons, so we can only evacuate Liangzhou to avoid Wang Qi's attack. I want to move the capital from Weiwu County and retreat to Gaochang  County. When evacuating, there will inevitably be troubles. I ask you to return to Weiwu County first and assist Jia Yu in handling the withdrawal. If there are people who want to rebel, I allow you to kill them first and then report them."

    "I obey the order!"

    Jiang Jiuge clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. With me here, there is absolutely no chance of anyone betraying you. Even if there is someone who betrays, they will definitely be killed."

    Cao Xuandao: "Go."

    Jiang Jiuge turned around and resigned. He was now pressed for time and had to rush back early.

    Only in this way can the situation be stabilized.

    After Jiang Jiuge left, Cao Xuan looked at Cheng Lin, Cao Yuanli and others, and said: "We are going at full speed. We will retreat directly now. We will resupply in Ji County first, and then continue to retreat."

    "yes!"

    Everyone responded in unison.

    Although everyone is still loyal to Cao Xuan, there is a shadow cast in their hearts.

    The Kingdom of Wei is already in its twilight years.

    It¡¯s almost impossible to hold on.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
