All the generals were puzzled. It was easy to understand that they could not attack. None of them knew the defensive capabilities of Huanghuangwei. If the Shu army wanted to capture Huangjinwei, they would indeed have to pay a heavy price in casualties, and even if they suffered heavy casualties,

, it may not be possible to capture Huangjinweilai. As the defensive key point in the eastern part of Hanzhong, Huangjinwei can be said to be impregnable.

What puzzled the generals was that once the Shu soldiers retreated, the golden siege was within easy reach. Isn't this a strange thing?

Jiang Wei smiled slightly and explained: "The isolated city cannot be defended. After our army retreats, the Wei army defending the city will inevitably abandon the city and run east to the west city. But if our army is in a hurry to attack, the Wei army will not dare to abandon it.

The only way to defeat the city is to keep an eye on it, so if you want to capture the Golden Siege, haste makes waste."

All the generals were sincerely convinced and said: "Good advice, General."

Jiang Wei looked at Huangjinwei and asked, "Who among the Wei army captured Huangjinwei?"

A general who knew the news immediately reported: "General, the general of Wei who captured Golden Siege is Zhengxi Changshi, Yue Cavalry School Lieutenant Cao Liang."

"Cao Liang?" Jiang Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Could he be the man who killed Soochow General Zhuge Jin in Huainan last year?"

"It is this man. Cao Liang is the son of Cao Yan, the Marquis of Gaolingting. During the Battle of Huainan last year, he served as a general to conquer the south and joined the army. It was because of his contribution to killing Zhuge Jin that he became the Yue Cavalry Colonel. In this battle of Hanzhong,

It was also the Yangping Pass where he led his cavalry to sneak attack."

Jiang Wei groaned and his eyes became deep. When they were at Yangping Pass, Jiang Wei had already fought with Cao Liang. "This man will definitely be my strong enemy of Ji Han in the future!"

The general was obviously well versed in all kinds of news. He smiled and said, "Cao Liang has another identity, but I don't know if the general is interested in hearing it."

Jiang Wei suddenly became more interested and said, "What other identity does he have? Let me tell you."

The general said: "If we count, he is still your Majesty's nephew."

Jiang Wei was taken aback and said in disbelief: "Your Majesty's nephew? How is this possible?"

The general smiled and said: "When the late emperor defeated Changbanpo in Jingzhou, two of his daughters fell into the hands of Cao's army and were acquired by Cao Liang's grandfather, Cao Chun. Later, one of the daughters was betrothed to Cao Chun's son Cao Yan and gave birth to a daughter.

After having this son, judging by his bloodline, Cao Liang really wants to call Your Majesty uncle."

Jiang Wei suddenly realized that the fact that Liu Bei's two daughters fell into Cao's camp was not a glorious thing, so few people knew about it. Jiang Wei was born in Liangzhou, and Zhu Liangliang only surrendered during the Northern Expedition.

Shu Kingdom, so they don’t know about this at all.

However, this happened in a time of war, so it is not unusual. In troubled times, anything is possible. Isn’t the wife Zhang Fei married Xia Houyuan’s niece? In terms of seniority, Ji Han’s emperor must be called Xia Hou

Call me uncle.

But status is status, and they have to fight desperately on the battlefield. Who allows them to be their own masters?

"It's interesting." Jiang Wei looked at the top of the city of Jinwei and showed a meaningful smile.

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

The Shu army was like the tide in the early morning, rising and receding as fast as it rose. Just now they came with great momentum, but in the blink of an eye, they had retreated completely, leaving no one behind.

The Wei army that was originally at the head of the golden city was facing a formidable enemy and was preparing for a fierce battle. However, the Shu army had no intention of attacking the city at all. They just stopped under the city for a moment and then retreated.

The officers and soldiers of the Wei army were all puzzled. Why did the Shu army come and go again? Could there be some deceit among them?

Cao Liang naturally knew the reason why the Shu army did not attack the city. It must have been because he did not want to increase casualties. This battle of Hanzhong was already a complete victory for the Shu army. It was time for them to celebrate their victory.

, the defenders of a small golden city are no longer important to them.

"Everyone, go down to the city and prepare to retreat." Cao Liang gave the order briefly and forcefully.

Yang Hu said with regret: "Brother-in-law, Guancheng is such a dangerous place. If you just give up, are you really willing to give up?"

Cao Liang said calmly: "What can I do if I can't bear it? How about packing it up and taking it away? The isolated city cannot be defended. The Golden Circle is too far from the West City, and it goes deep into the territory of Shu. It cannot be defended without heavy troops. If you really want to defend it, the logistical support will be quite big.

It’s a difficult problem. In fact, for us, Golden Wai is just a piece of chicken ribs, tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.”

Golden Wei is a pass used by the Shu Kingdom to defend the Wei State. For the Wei State, it is naturally not that important. Even if the Wei Army controls it now, it is of no practical use because there are Xingshi Mountain and other key passes ahead.

It is impossible to use Huangjinwei as a springboard to enter Hanzhong.

More importantly, Huangjinwei is more than 200 miles away from the Wei army's nearest border, Guanxi City, and has to pass through the treacherous Golden Canyon. Logistics support is a problem in the first place. It will not be enough to retain too few troops, but it will not be enough to retain too many.

The lack of logistics supply is a fatal flaw.

Therefore, abandoning the city and leaving is the best policy.

After the order was issued, the Wei army moved very quickly, because they came lightly packed and could leave the city after simply packing up. They moved quite quickly.

In addition, the Wei army guarding the city was eager to return and was unwilling to stay for a moment, so the return journey was quite quick.

After leaving Huangjinwei, the Wei army headed east, passing through the dangerous Huangjin Gorge, and then entered the territory of the Wei State.

However, this place is still far from the border fortress of the Wei State. The fortress where the Wei army sent troops to garrison was the Xicheng of Wei Xing County. Cao Liang led his troops to drive for two days before catching up with the large Wei army in the Xicheng.

The front troops and horses led by Du Yu met the division.

Only when you reach Xicheng can you truly enter the territory of Wei State.

The prefect of Wei Xing County was busy waiting for Cao Shuang's arrival. I am afraid that as a prefect all his life, he would not have the opportunity to see so many dignitaries here. The prefect of Weixing County was frightened and carefully entertained Cao Shuang and his generals. He also knew that the reason why Cao Shuang was here

I came to Wei Xing County because of the defeat. Didn't you see Cao Zaishang's face? It was livid and angry. The Wei Xing prefect did not dare to offend Cao Shuang easily.

After the Wei army withdrew to Xicheng, they had time to rest and recuperate. The Wei army was exhausted from the hard battles for several days to break out of the siege. If it weren't for their lives, many of them would not have been able to persist.

From Xicheng.
