Liu Song attacked Huazhou City fiercely, and Cao Weiming sacrificed his life to defend the death. The two of them had a very fierce attack and defense. It has to be said that Liu Song put great pressure on Cao Weiming and the entire Central Plains Army.

At this time, Tan Lei's army had arrived near Wangzhou, with a distance of nearly 300 miles from Wangzhou to Huazhou. Moreover, the clouds were stretched over the past few days and the mountain roads were difficult to move. Tan Lei had ordered the army to set up camp. In his opinion, Cao Weiming occupied the advantage of Huazhou City and should be able to defend for at least a while.

Besides, Lu Zheng is new after all, and it turns out that Bingzhou has fought a war, then he took Miaocheng. He then needs at least a few days to rest in the front line of Huazhou from Miaocheng?

However, the flying pigeons that kept flying from the air quickly broke his fantasy. In the central military tent, all the strategists and generals gathered, and urgent news kept coming to the military tent.

"Reported, Huazhou is in a hurry. Liaodong thief Liu Song besieged Huazhou from all sides. General Cao personally guarded the east gate. However, Liu Song attacked the north gate. Once the thief attacked the city wall and almost broke the city. General Cao ordered the civilians in the city to barely stabilize the situation from the top of the city. However, in this case, it was only a matter of time to break the city. General Cao asked the prince to rescue him immediately, otherwise the city of Huazhou would be broken!"

Tan Lei sat in the central army with an extremely gloomy face. A bearded general rushed out and said, "This Cao Weiming, his own troops are not helpful. Prince, have you given him more than 10,000 elite cavalrymen? Are these people all for a good meal?

Huazhou City is a little bigger, and 30,000 people are all piled on the city wall. I think that Liu Song can have three heads and six arms, and can break the city?"

"Yes, I think Cao Weiming is incompetent. He will be afraid to fight with his opponent with a little force. How can he cooperate with the prince to fight against the enemy with such a wine bag? I think he should be scolded strictly, so that he can firmly block Liu Song, and then let us fight against Lu Zheng!"

A group of people directly scolded Cao Weiming for being incompetent, asking Tan Lei to ignore Cao Weiming's request for help, but instead put me as the center and firmly prepared to face Lu Zheng.

In their opinion, the tens of thousands of troops led by Cao Weiming were originally a fool. The core of the Central Plains War was still the battle between Tan Lei and Lu Zheng. Cao Weiming was sacrificed and Cao Weiming was made to be cannon fodder, consuming Lu Zheng's power, and then fighting again. Tan Lei was sure of winning!

But soon the clamor of this faction was suppressed by the other side, and the strategists firmly opposed it. Qin Xuan, Tan Lei's most caring strategist, stood up and said: "General Cao, Huazhou, cannot help! If we lose Huazhou, our defense line will be broken. Blocking Lu Zheng is like a net fish. If the fish breaks the net, how can we net fish?

Besides, General Cao's opponent is Liu Song. Who is Liu Song? This person is a general under Lu Zheng, and his position in the army is below one person and above ten thousand people. This time he personally led the army to attack the city. It is obvious that all the elite troops of the Liaodong army were released, and General Cao was in his hands, so it was normal that it was not easy to defend the city! For the sake of the present, we should immediately send troops to General Cao. Only when we are one east and one west and one north and south are the support of each other can the Liaodong army not advance. There is no other way!"

Qin Xuan said this, and another adviser said: "Prince, Lu Zheng dares to attack the Central Plains, so he must be prepared! The Liaodong Army has strong combat power. We were too optimistic before. Now we have to make up our minds to prepare for a tough battle. A tough battle cannot tolerate any luck!

It would be a big mistake to expect that Lu Zheng would lose his strength after he conquered Cao's army. We would be very worried about it! We have a relationship with Cao's army. At this time, General Cao was besieged. If we don't rescue him, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Tan Lei frowned. He was not an ordinary person, so he could naturally understand the various things. However, he also had his own difficulties, that is, he had to consider a problem. Once the two sides fought, what should we do if the Central Plains Army retreated step by step?

If the Central Plains Army is defeated, the Central Plains will inevitably be lost. Can Tan Lei still hold the capital? Obviously that is absolutely impossible!

Losing the Central Plains is a disaster for Tan Lei, so the battle between the Central Plains must be cautious. Tan Lei originally thought that he and Cao Weiming should separate the two cities, and then the two of them support each other, actively defend and safe and safe are the first priority, but the development of the battle situation overturned all his previous ideas.

Lu Zheng was fierce and soon gained an overwhelming advantage in Huazhou. Under such circumstances, Tan Lei was no longer sure to win this battle. Since he was not sure to win, would he have to fight this battle?

If you don’t fight this battle, you will go back to the capital and exchange space for time, so that Lu Zheng will occupy half of the Central Plains first. Tan Lei will rely on the capital and think about defense strategies. Is it feasible to fight a protracted battle with Lu Zheng?

As time goes by, things in the northwest should have a result. Besides, Lu Zheng’s grain channel in Liaodong has been cut off. After Long Zhaohuan took power in Jiangnan, he will not be afraid of Liaodong. In addition, Long Zhaoyan claims to be the magnificent of the Nine Five, and he will find it difficult to tolerate Lu Zheng’s long-term entrenchment in the Central Plains. Can Tan Lei organize all these forces?

Tan Lei was carrying his hands on his back and forth in the tent, and his mind was running rapidly. What he was thinking in his heart was absolutely impossible to say on this occasion. The so-called morale can be boosted and not let go. If his thoughts are known to the generals at all levels, it will inevitably let the morale be greatly let go.

I have to say that he is in a difficult situation now. If such a decision was made ten years ago, he would send troops quickly without hesitation. Wouldn't it be a battle to the death? Tan Lei was also a person who fought all his life on the battlefield. When did he ever fear death on the battlefield?

But now it’s different. Tan Lei no longer has the powerful Dakang behind him. His wealth and life are all about him. Even Tan Lei’s connections and career that he has been running for the rest of his life.

If he loses, his Tan family will be destroyed and all his efforts will be wasted, which will force him to act cautiously!

Seeing Tan Lei's expression, Qin Xuan said, "Your Majesty, you should continue to suffer the chaos! It is a knife to stretch your head for the present plan, and a knife to shrink your head! Lu Zheng asked Liu Song to attack Huazhou fiercely. He saw that Cao Weiming had just arrived in Huazhou and was unstable. He wanted to fight quickly and quickly, but he didn't know that this behavior exposed their eagerness to win!

According to the inside scouts, the Liaodong army was short of food. In order to prepare food for the large army, Sima of Bingzhou implemented a solid wall and clearing the fields on Bingzhou. Even so, the food of the army could last for up to half a month!

If a mere half a month of food can last long? Although the city of Huazhou is important, we may not be able to give up at critical moments!

But one thing is very important, that is, no matter what, General Cao’s army cannot be destroyed. Otherwise, our morale will be greatly reduced first, and it will be even more difficult to fight!"

Qin Xuan talked happily. He walked up and pointed his fingers on the map of silk cloth, saying, "We quickly approached Huazhou, and then let General Cao lead the cavalry out of Huazhou. Our two armies attacked Liu Song from north to south, and let Liu Song go to the empty city. We only hope to annihilate the enemy and break through. In nine out of ten, we can succeed in one blow! We abandoned Huazhou and severely injured Liu Song, and then retreated to Wangzhou to continue to deal with each other.
