    Although there are 5,000 soldiers at Yique Pass, they are mainly deployed on the front.  Now Liu Cong leads five thousand soldiers to attack from behind the pass. How can Wang Ping stop him?

    And at this time, Wang Ping only had two thousand soldiers by his side.

    Soon, more than half of the two thousand soldiers led by Wang Ping were killed or wounded, and they were completely surrounded by the Han army.

    Liu Cong ordered the soldiers to stop fighting because Yique Pass had been captured at this time.

    "Wang Ping, you were originally a general of the Han Dynasty, but when Cao Cao became king of Wei, his rebellious intentions were clearly revealed. Now that the situation at Yique Pass is over, if you surrender, I will definitely use you more, and you can be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.  If you can make great achievements, you will be granted the title of wife and son! If you persist in your stubbornness and serve Cao Cao's thieves, I will issue an order, and Yique Pass will immediately be piled up with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood!"

    In history, Wang Ping took the initiative to surrender to the Shu Han, and he was a famous general in the post-Three Kingdoms period, so Liu Cong took the initiative to recruit him.

    Of course, Liu Cong will not plead in a low voice. If he does not surrender, he will shoot him without hesitation.

    ¡°The current Liu Cong, both in terms of status and strength, is worthy of the active service of people with lofty ideals.

    After Liu Cong finished speaking, the Han army's crossbowmen put their arrows on their strings.

    Wang Ping looked at the soldiers around him, and they all looked at Wang Ping with pleading eyes.  Wang Ping's words could determine their life or death.  Cao Cao's ascension to the throne of Wei was indeed a rebellion in the eyes of many people.  Because in the Han Dynasty, people with foreign surnames were never crowned kings.

    "Put down your weapons and surrender!"

    Cao's soldiers were relieved and immediately put down their weapons and knelt down on both sides.

    Xu Huang led an army of more than 20,000 people and quickly withdrew with Liu Ye, Zhao Yan, Zhu Ling, Cao Zhen and others. However, until after Yangzhai, there was no trace of Liu Cong. Only the thousands of soldiers Tian Yu, the prefect of Runan, put together  Soldiers and horses.

    "Zi Yang, why did Liu Cong suddenly disappear? What on earth was he going to do?" Xu Huang was a little confused.

    Liu Ye also frowned and thought for a moment, "Could it be that his target is not Xu Du, but"

    Thinking of this, Liu Ye's expression changed drastically.

    "Zi Yang, you mean Liu Cong wants to"

    ¡°Liu Cong¡¯s real purpose is to seize Yique Pass!¡±

    "Ah? Yique Pass!" Xu Huang shouted in his heart that something was wrong.  Yique Pass is a dangerous pass. As long as five thousand soldiers and horses are stationed at the pass, even if tens of thousands or even one hundred thousand soldiers and horses come from behind, it will be difficult to break through. However, if you attack from behind, the situation will be different. It can be said that there is almost no danger.  Guard, this pass was built to protect Luoyang City at that time!

    "Quick, we will return to the army immediately. Yique Pass must not be lost!" Xu Huang said loudly.

    "General, I'm afraid it's already too late to return to the army at this time!" Liu Ye stopped Xu Huang, "Besides, our army has been running around for days. Even if we reach Yique Pass, we will be exhausted. If we are ambushed on the way, the consequences will be disastrous!  "

    "This" Xu Huang suddenly realized that in the entire Nanyang battle, the Han army took the initiative, and they were led by Liu Cong.  If we rush to Yique Pass now, we will most likely fall into Liu Cong's plan again.  But if he doesn't go, Wang Ping's five thousand soldiers and horses will definitely not be able to defend it!

    "Reportreport to the general, Yique Pass has been lost, Wang Ping surrendered to the Han army!" At this moment, a scout came to report.

    When Xu Huang heard this, he sat helplessly on his seat.  It is very obvious that Liu Cong's goal is not in Xudu at all, but in Yique Pass.  But even if he sees through this trick in advance, do you dare to ignore him?  Dare to take this risk?

    Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Xu Huang has fought countless battles, but he has never been as aggrieved as this time. Nanyang seems to be his nightmare.

    "Report, report to the general" A scout ran into the commander's tent, "General Xia Houyuan was ambushed continuously on the way to withdraw his troops, and his entire army was wiped out. Xia Houyuan, Jia Tu, Sun Li and others were all killed in battle!"

    "What, General Xiahou died in battle?" When Xu Huang heard this, he stood up from his command position in shock. Xiahou Yuan had an army of 20,000. How many soldiers and horses would the Han army need to annihilate his army?  Could it be that Liu Cong transferred all his troops to Nanyang?  What about road signs?

    He sent Lu Zhao and led 5,000 soldiers and horses to sneak attack on Xinye. I'm afraid it would be more serious than bad.

    As expected, it didn¡¯t take long for the scouts to send news of Luzhao. They were heavily surrounded and suppressed by the Han army near Xinye, and the entire army was finally wiped out.

    Xu Huang and Liu Ye were extremely frustrated and had to lead their troops back to Xuchang.

    In the palace of King Wei, Cao Cao summoned all the ministers.

    Everyone knelt and sat down below, not daring to look at Cao Cao in his seat, because everyone could feel Cao Cao's anger.

    "Report, report to the prince"Xu Huang, Liu Ye tied himself up to plead guilty!  "At this time, a soldier came in to report, breaking the awkwardness in the hall.

    "Let them in!" Cao Cao waved his hand.

    "No!"

    Soon, Xu Huang and Liu Ye came to the hall. They had people tie themselves up and kneel in the middle.

    "My lord, we had a bad start and lost our troops and generals. Please punish me, lord!" they both said at the same time.

    Cao Cao looked at Xu Huang and Liu Ye. His face was filled with gloom, but it slowly dissipated.  This is his character.  After the defeat in Chibi, he was still able to laugh. There was no way this setback could overwhelm him.

    "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. Get up!"

    "Thank you, Lord!" They both stood up, and the soldiers came over to loosen their bonds.

    "Everyone, Nanyang was defeated, Miaocai died in battle, and Yique Pass was lost. What should we do next?" Cao Cao asked.

    "My lord should send heavy troops to guard Luoyang. Without Yique Pass, Jingzhou's troops and horses can threaten Luoyang at any time. If Luoyang is lost, the entire Sili, Chang'an, and Jingzhaoyin will be in danger." Cheng Yu came out and first elaborated.  own opinions.

    Cao Cao nodded. Yique Pass was lost and Luoyang was indeed in danger.  But if we want to increase the number of troops, it is not a simple matter.  Just after recovering from the defeat in Chibi, Nanyang lost more than 40,000 troops this time. The troops everywhere were stretched thin!

    "My lord, my subordinates think that Xudu is no longer the land of kings, so we should move the capital to Yecheng!" Chen Qun came out and said loudly.

    After everyone listened, they began to discuss in low voices.

    Moving the capital has been a major event since ancient times, because it involves too many things. The interests of the family, the interests of officials, and the interests of the court can be said to affect the whole body.

    Cao Cao also frowned and started thinking.  From the bottom of his heart, he was willing to move the capital.  And when Nanyang was lost, he had this idea.

    But among his officials, the Yingchuan faction was too strong.  The reason why Xu County was made the capital in the first place was to take all the talents of Yingchuan into his own hands.  If the capital is moved to Yecheng now, the interests of these people will inevitably be touched, and there will be a lot of resistance.

    But today, it was Chen Qun who proposed it, and Cao Cao felt that things were turning around, because Chen Qun was also from the Yingchuan faction.

    "I think the long article's proposal is feasible. What do you think?"

    After Cao Cao said this, others immediately understood that the lord had already agreed with Chen Qun's opinion.  And the fact is that Nanyang is lost, Yique Pass is also lost, and Jingzhou also has a strong cavalry, Xuchang is really in danger.

    "I second the proposal!"

    "I second the proposal!"

    Everyone agreed to move the capital.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
