When Cao Liang evacuated Daxia Gate to retreat to Jinyong City, he did consider this issue. Jinyong City is a defensive fortress in Luoyang. Although the city is small and solid, the room for maneuver is too small, and it is not possible to be a temporary stationing point. If you want to hold on for a long time, Jinyong City is obviously not qualified.

Returning to Bingzhou became Cao Liang's only choice. After all, Cao Liang's foundation is in Bingzhou, and only when returning to Bingzhou can Cao Liang have the capital to fight against the Sima family.

The current situation is already extremely severe. Cao Shuang's easy surrender made Cao Liang's pressure suddenly double. Originally, Sima Yi's mutiny was not carried out against Cao Shuang. Cao Liang's attack was like a dark horse, which completely disrupted his deployment to Sima Yi's surprise.

If Cao Shuang is not so mean or if he surrenders later, then he can win more time for Cao Liang, so that Cao Liang will have the opportunity to change the situation in Luoyang.

However, Cao Shuang's fragile defeat made all this unsurprising. Cao Liang also rose from Sima Yi's secondary opponent to the only opponent. Now Sima Yi, who has controlled several major forces, has soared its strength and can crush Cao Liang in all aspects. If Cao Liang continues to deal with Sima Yi according to the previous plan, he will inevitably suffer a great loss.

As a general, you must learn to judge the situation and adapt to the situation and make appropriate adjustments when the battlefield situation changes. Since Luoyang can no longer hold on, retreating becomes the only choice.

On this point, Cao Liang and Huan Fan coincided with each other.

Moreover, since you have made the plan to retreat, you must move quickly and you must not leave any chance for Sima Yi.

Who is Sima Yi? He is an old fox who has been through the battlefield for a long time and has a very sensitive military sense. The main reason why he has not sent troops to deal with Cao Liang is that he must accept Cao Shuang's surrender and integrate Cao Shuang's army. He really doesn't care about Cao Liang's side. When he comes to his senses, he may mobilize several times of troops to encircle Cao Liang.

Sima Yi is a vengeful person, not to mention that Cao Liang has become a stumbling block on his way to seize the power of Cao Wei. After taking Cao Shuang, Cao Liang became Sima Yi's number one enemy and would spare no effort to chase him and never give up until he was destroyed.

Therefore, Cao Liang summoned Cao Yanwenqin and others to discuss the withdrawal of troops.

Everyone knows the current situation, so a consensus was quickly reached on the withdrawal of troops. However, although it is only a few hundred miles from Luoyang to Bingzhou, how to quickly cross the Yellow River is a key factor in whether Luoyang can successfully evacuate and return to Bingzhou due to the natural danger of the Yellow River.

If it were just the Knightsman Camp, its speed would definitely be beyond the reach of the Sima Army, but the retreating team contained a lot of family members. These non-combatants not only needed the protection of the Knightsman Camp, but also severely slowed down the marching speed of the Knightsman Camp.

According to the barrel effect, the Qi Xiaoying is naturally the longest board, while the family team is the shortest board. The final marching speed of the team is not determined by the longest board, but by the shortest board.

But no matter what, the family team cannot be abandoned. Not only Cao Liang's family members and Huan Fan's family members, but also many middle and lower-level commanding officers. If there is no accident in the family team, the morale of the cavalry camp will not disperse. Cao Liang is not Liu Bei, and he can abandon his wife and children anytime and anywhere, so he must ensure the safety of the family team.

This evacuation operation is extremely important for Cao Liang.

Wen Qin was selected as the pioneer and led a thousand troops from the headquarters to set out first and head to Xiaopingjin Ferry. His mission was very clear. First, he had to control the Yellow River Ferry, find the ships to cross the river, and make all preparations before crossing the river.

This task is very important, and the key to whether it can safely withdraw from Bingzhou is the Yellow River Ferry itself, and Sima Yi will definitely do a lot of work on the Yellow River Ferry. It is not easy to break out of here.

Therefore, Cao Liang and Cao Yancai chose Wen Qin, whom they trust most, to take on this position. Wen Qin has a calm personality and rich experience in marching and fighting. Cao Liang is still relieved to have him as a pioneer.

Qian Hong and Liu Jing each led their troops to protect the safety of their family members on the left and right wings to prevent Sima's army from launching sneak attacks from the left and right wings.

After all, although some servants are here to protect the family team, how can the servants' combat ability be able to compete with the regular army? If the Sima army breaks into the family team, it will be like a hungry wolf entering the flock of sheep, and it will be difficult not to be harmed.

Therefore, the protection of the left and right wings is also extremely important. With the troops of the Cavalry Camp on the flanks guarding, the safety of the family team can be ensured to the greatest extent.

Cao Liang incorporated the crossbow team into the family team and used the carriage as a cover. These crossbow soldiers will become the last reliance of the entire family team.

Of course, the most important thing is the candidate who has broken the back.

Cutting off the rear means that you must take on the attack from Sima's pursuers. Not only is the task heavy, but it is also extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will fall into the siege of the enemy. Not only will you escape from difficulties, but it will also lead to no protection in the rear of the family team and be slaughtered.

Therefore, the candidate for the rear-end will be crucial, and he will even decide whether the entire retreat can be successful.

For this reason, Cao Liang and Cao Yan had a dispute. Cao Liang's plan was to cut off the rear and Cao Yan would protect the family. However, Cao Yan firmly disagreed. He insisted on leading the rear-breaking team composed of the front and rear of the fast cavalry, and asked Cao Liang, was he familiar with these two teams and could command them to fight?

From this point of view, Cao Liang is still not as good as Cao Yan. The cavalry camp was trained by Cao Yan. Cao Yan knew the combat ability of the troops and what tactics they adapted to. If Cao Liang replaced him, the combat efficiency would definitely be greatly reduced.

Finally, the entire team was arranged, Cao Liang, Huan Fan and Lu Zhi jointly protected the central army, while Cao Yan took on the most critical task of cutting off the rear.

The withdrawal operation was launched immediately. Wen Qin led the leading troops to the Xiaopingjin Ferry.

All the families also took action. Although they were not as decisive as they were, they were also carried out in an orderly manner.
