    After the Wei army retreated, both sides sent some soldiers to collect the corpses of each side.  Xian Yufu ordered the soldiers to quickly change defenses, prepare the equipment to defend the camp, and then quickly came to Yan Xing.

    "General, our front and rear battalions lost nearly five thousand soldiers in this battle!"

    Xian Yufu was not at all happy because he repelled the Wei army's attack, but was filled with sorrow.  The battle in the rear camp was no less brutal than that of the front camp, and Li Dian seemed to have gone crazy.

    "How are the casualties of the Wei army?" Yan Xing looked at Xian Yufu who was covered in blood, and naturally understood the brutality of the battle at the rear camp.

    "There are about seven thousand people in the rear camp!"

    "General Xianyu, don't worry. The Wei army's front and rear camps totaled 15,000 casualties, which is three times our number. If this is the case, if they want to break through the camp, they will probably use up all the 40,000 soldiers. Therefore, I conclude that Zhang He and  Li Dian doesn't dare to fight anymore, we have to pay attention to their conspiracy!" Yan Xing was not very worried.

    "The general is right!" Xian Yufu nodded, "General, please take a rest, and I will re-arrange the defenses!"

    "I'll set up defenses, and you let the military doctors carefully treat the wounded soldiers!"

    "No!"

    After the Wei army withdrew from the camp, Li Dian came to Zhang He and Cao Hong's camp.

    "Mancheng, how about the attack on the rear camp?" Cao Hong asked.

    "Coward!" Li Dian shook his head, "This battle was too cowardly and frustrating. More than 7,000 soldiers died in the battle! The combat power of this Han army is much stronger than that of Jiangdong soldiers. Xian Yu assisted this traitorous general.  I really want to peel off his skin and beat his muscles! We can't attack by force, we have to find a way to outwit him!"

    Li Dian has been dealing with Jiangdong soldiers in Hefei and Huainan. This was the first time he fought against the Han army, and the result shocked him.

    "Yes!" Zhang He also nodded, "The losses in a strong attack will be too great! I wonder if Mancheng has any clever ideas?"

    "My lord told me at that time, let me and Junyi encircle the Han army in Yanjin. If there is a chance, we will annihilate them. If there is no chance, just stay still and wait for the opportunity!" Li Dian thought for a while and said.

    "In that case, let's stay put for the time being. I guess the lord must have a backup plan!" Zhang He thought for a while and said.

    "Jun Yi is right, the lord must have a backup plan, so we will stand still and wait for the opportunity!" Cao Hong had long since given up on attacking.

    "Okay!" Zhang He and Li Dian both nodded.

    Baidi City, a small town that became famous in later generations because Liu Bei once took care of his orphans here and a poem by Li Bai - "Early Departure from Baidi City", was inconspicuous at this time.

    Liu Cong led his soldiers to the north from Yizhou and stayed here overnight.

    The mountain breeze on a summer night is extremely cool, and the mountain moon above our heads is bright and clear, and it looks so familiar.

    In the courtyard of the county magistrate's house, under the bright moon, there was a table with some wine and food on it.  Liu Cong and his three wives, Wu Ran, Wang Jue and Ma Yunlu, drank wine and admired the moon.

    Several maids, Shi A and Liu Hu stood aside.

    In this situation, Liu Cong remembered a poem by Li Bai - "Wine to Ask the Moon", so he picked up a glass of wine, stood up and chanted softly.

    "When will the moon come to the blue sky? I will stop drinking and ask. People cannot reach the bright moon, but the moon travels with people.

    The brightness is as bright as a flying mirror approaching Danque, and the green smoke extinguishes all the clear brilliance.  But seeing the night coming from the sea, I would rather know that it has disappeared into the clouds.

    ??The white rabbit makes medicine, autumn returns to spring, who is Chang'e living alone next to?  People today cannot see the moon of ancient times, but today's moon once illuminated the ancient people.

    People in ancient times and today are like running water, looking at the bright moon together.  I only wish that the moonlight would always shine in the golden cup while singing and drinking.  "

    After Liu Cong finished reciting, he was deeply moved. Li Bai was indeed a poet. He could find a poem that suited the occasion at any time!

    "My husband is truly a heavenly being!" Wu Ran's eyes shone with great respect.

    "People today don't see the moon in ancient times, but today's moon once shone on the ancients! I have read many poems about the moon, but none of them can compare with my husband. It is so well written!" Wang Jue was still intoxicated in the poem, "My favorite poem is  I like these two sentences!¡±

    Ma Yunlu seemed a little unnatural. She also felt that her husband Liu Cong's poem was very good, but she didn't know what was good about it.  She also read some poetry books when she was a child, but she didn't like them. She only liked to dance with swords and guns.  Now I secretly make up my mind that I must study hard in the future, otherwise I will embarrass my husband!

    Liu Cong is thick-skinned now. Listening to his wife's compliments, he doesn't feel ashamed at all, but feels a little elated.

    "My lord" At this time, Fazheng was seen hurriedly over with a few pieces of information in his hand, "My lord, the war has started in Guandu!"

    ?"Cao Cao finally couldn't sit still anymore!" Liu Cong smiled. In fact, he had already expected that Cao Cao would take action after getting the news about the battle in Chengdu.

    "Concubine, please retire!" The three women knew that Liu Cong wanted to discuss important matters, so they stood up and bowed to Liu Cong, and then went back to the room accompanied by the maid.

    "My lord, please read this!" Fazheng handed several pieces of information to Liu Cong.

    Liu Cong read each letter carefully, and then frowned slightly.

    "Cao Cao also transferred Xuzhou's soldiers and horses to Guandu, and secretly transferred troops and generals. Together with Wenpin's army, the entire Guandu army has 120,000 troops, and there are also 20,000 cavalry, which is stronger than the first Guandu  It was much bigger during the war!¡±

    "Don't worry, my lord. Wen Chang and Shi Yuan have stationed troops in Baima, Yanjin, and Guandu. Fifteen thousand cavalry can rush to the rescue quickly, which is equivalent to grabbing the throat of the Wei army and can compete with it in a short time. Even if Cao Cao is in Yanjin  With 40,000 soldiers and horses gathered, he can't break through the camp in a short while!" Fazheng was not worried.

    In fact, Fazheng also knew that many of Cao Cao's 120,000 troops were new soldiers, including 20,000 cavalry.

    "Where are our reinforcements?"

    "Huang Zhong has led an army of 30,000 and has arrived at Chenliu. Deng Ai and Zhang Xiu have led Feitian Camp's 20,000 troops and must have passed Feihu Mountain. Our total strength has reached 100,000. The key is that Huang Zhong and Deng Ai are still  Secret march!¡±

    Liu Cong nodded.

    "Once Huang Zhong's army appears in Guandu, Xu Huang of Bingzhou will definitely attack Luoyang. Where is Cheng Gongying's army?"

    "Cheng Gongying has arrived in Xinye, and Yan Yan's vanguard army has passed Yiyang!"

    "Okay!" Liu Cong was relieved. There were soldiers and horses stationed at Mengjin and Xiaopingjin. Xu Huang would not be able to attack them for a while. As soon as the Jingzhou Corps arrived, Xu Huang could only return without success.  "Then can we speed up our march!"

    "No, lord!" Fazheng shook his head, "We will still keep this pace to reassure Cao Cao, and then we will take advantage of it"

    "Ha" Liu Cong burst into laughter, "Xiao Zhi is going to work with Shi Yuan to cause Cao Cao to suffer another disastrous defeat!"

    "A disastrous defeat is not necessarily necessary. Cao Cao has Jia Xu under his command, and this person has a vicious vision. However, after this battle, Cao Cao can lose some vitality. In recent years, we have not dared to start a war. We also need to recuperate, not to mention Xianbei, Xiongnu, etc.  The foreigners are also ready to take action."
