To be precise, it should be a harvest and being harvested.

Zhidaoting was only more than ten miles away from Chang'an, and Xia Houyuan quickly caught up from behind.

At this time, Wudang Feijun had very few repeating crossbows left, so they had to save them for precise strikes.

Meng Huo asked his flag soldiers to wave the yellow flag and ordered his troops to hide towards the mountains behind them.

Wudang Feijun is best at fighting in the mountains, and there are crossbowmen with superb shooting skills who use repeating crossbows as hidden weapons. As long as Xia Houyuan just enters the mountains, it is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

Of course, Xia Houyuan, who had fought many times with Li Qi's soldiers and horses, had figured out some of the opponent's strategies and tactics, so he did not dare to pursue them into the mountains easily.

A mixed team of foot and cavalry alone would not be able to catch up with the grain truck, and judging from the fact that the opponent set up an ambush, it is estimated that the grain truck is also fake.

Xia Houyuan withdrew his troops and returned to the city, and reported all matters to Cao Pi.

Cao Pi sighed silently. After being locked in the city for a month, Nima was finally seduced out by Li Qi.

If Chang'an was not being defended now, Cao Pi would have already planned to abandon the city and have a decisive battle with Li Qi.

But Chang'an, can you give up so easily?

Not long after, another scout came to report: "Report to General Zhonglang, Li Qinan camp has ten more carts of food shipped to Ba Ling."

Cao Pi: "..."

Xia Houyuan said: "They thought we were in an ambush and did not dare to attack. This time it is very likely that it is real food and grass."

Cao Pi said: "It is indeed very likely to be true, but can we still withstand such a torment? If the cavalry is destroyed, how will we fight the next battle?"

At this time, a letter arrived from Cao Cao.

After Cao Pi opened it and read it, he remained silent.

Xia Houyuan asked: "What did Duke Wei say?"

Cao Pi handed the letter to Xia Houyuan and asked him to read it himself.

After Xia Houyuan read it, he couldn't help but stamp his feet: "Alas!"

It turned out that Cao Cao had already arrived at Zheng County, not far from Ba Ling. Cao Cao asked Cao Pi to immediately send his troops to Ba Ling, attack Ba Ling with the main force of Cao's army, and capture Li Qi alive.

I don't know if Li Qi can be captured alive, but once Cao Pi leads his army to leave Chang'an, Chang'an will definitely not be saved. Zhuge Liang in the west and Ma Chao in the north are watching closely.

Even if Li Qi could be captured alive, Cao Pi's defense of Chang'an this time was considered a failure.

After Sima Yi learned about it, he told Cao Pi: "Young master, you should put the overall situation first. Our army has been holding Chang'an for several months. Although we have lost Xiwu, if we can cooperate with Duke Wei to capture or kill Li Qi, it will be regarded as a great achievement."

At that time, we can also invite troops to recover Liang and Yizhou, and then Wei Gong can personally go south and capture Jingzhou."

Cao Pi nodded. Although he was not convinced about giving up Chang'an like this, cooperating with Cao Cao to capture Ba Ling was the only thing he could do now.

Although Cao Jun left the city overnight, with Li Qi's close surveillance of Chang'an, scouts immediately detected the news and sent the news to Zhuge Liang in the West Camp, Meng Huo in the South Camp, and Ma Chao in Changling.

The night is very dark, and any light will make people feel "dazzling".

Cao Pi, who had already walked far away, couldn't help but look back in the direction of Chang'an, only to see a dazzling light spot shining there.

That's not a million lights.

That's the fire of war.

Zhuge Liang, who is closest to Chang'an, has already begun to attack the city.

No need to think too hard, it won't be long before Meng Huo and Ma Chao's troops will arrive in Chang'an one after another.

There seems to be no suspense about the city being destroyed.

Early the next morning, Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan, Zhang Yi and others will climb to the top of Chang'an City Tower and look up.

The rising sun crossed the Central Plains and cast its radiance on the city walls of Chang'an, sketching a golden outline for the generals' figures.

"We can be considered as returning to the old capital, Prime Minister."

"Yeah...wait a minute, what do you want to call me?"

"I didn't speak."
