Gao Rou was so choked up that she was speechless for a moment, frozen in place, at a loss.

There was no way.

Xiahou Yuan's scolding was also reasonable.

At the beginning, Xiahou Yuan originally planned to ask Cao Cao for help and ask Cao Cao to send the troops from Tongguan to the north to stop Liu Bei.

It was you, Gao Rou, who explained a lot of far-fetched reasons and persuaded Xiahou Yuan to be smart and mobilize the Huns to the south to help you deal with Liu Bei.

What was the result.

Liu Bei failed to stop it, and Cao Cao's reinforcements were not asked for, so both sides lost.

Dare you not to take the blame?

You have to take the blame!

But these two things should be treated as one thing, and you can't confuse them.

It's just that Xiahou Yuan, who is now angry, still confuses them and chokes Gao Rou.

"General, ah~~"

In desperation, Gao Rou could only shake his head and sigh helplessly.

At this time.

Xiahou Yuan took a deep breath, and a resolute look flashed across his face.

"Bingzhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if that big-eared thief cuts off my connection with Guanzhong, what does it matter?"

"I have made up my mind to defend Bingzhou and fight to the death!"

Xiahou Yuan made the decision to defend to the death.

His decision was not arrogant, but it also made sense.

Bingzhou is a vast land with mountains and rivers inside and outside.

Even if Liu Bei took Hedong in the south and cut off the connection with Guanzhong, he could rely on the mountains south of Jinyang and a small number of troops to stop Liu Bei.

This means that even if he could not get help from Guanzhong, he could at least defend Bingzhou.

As long as Bingzhou is held, Liu Bei can be restrained to some extent, so that all the pressure will not be put on Guanzhong.

Xiahou Yuan planned this way and made such a decision.

At that moment.

Xiahou Yuan ordered the troops to return to Jinyang to prevent Liu Bei from sending troops north and taking advantage of the situation to capture Bingzhou.

At the same time, he sent people to Tongguan 800 miles away to report to Cao Cao and ask Cao Cao to send troops to Puguan to prevent the Han army from crossing the river.

Tongguan.

Above the city.

Cao Cao frowned and stared at the outside of the pass.

At this time, the Han army outside the city actually began to move out of camp.

This made him confused.

In theory, although Liu Bei led the army north, he went to cross the river from Jiguan and entered Hedong.

But there should be enough troops left in Tongguan to contain them.

But the Han army is now withdrawing in large numbers.

The number of Han troops stationed outside the pass is only more than 10,000.

There is only one solution:

Liu Bei has already defeated Xiahou Yuan's obstruction in Hedong and ensured that Hedong will be incorporated into the Han territory.

Only in this way.

Liu Bei can give up the attack on Tongguan, withdraw his troops to Luoyang, and dispatch more troops to the north to Hedong to attack Puguan.

"Could it be that,Did Hedong really fall?"

Cao Cao muttered to himself, with a shadow on his face.

Because he already knew that Xiahou Yuan had forged his imperial order and induced Huchuquan to lead 40,000 cavalrymen to go out.

Although he did not agree on the surface, he also acquiesced to Xiahou Yuan's approach.

After all, he still knew which was more important, face or substance.

Although borrowing troops from the Huns was against his original intention, it could defeat the Han army and save his Cao Wei kingdom.

That was enough.

So, when he learned that Xiahou Yuan had ceded Xihe County to the Huns in his name, he was only shocked on the surface, but he took a acquiescent attitude in his heart.

"Impossible, that's 40,000 Hun cavalrymen."

"It's impossible that even Liu Bei couldn't resist and was easily defeated."

Cao Cao comforted himself in his heart.
