After the territory was extended, King Huan temporarily suppressed the withdrawal of troops, and then a letter was sent to Sun Qi again, agreeing to his suggestion to continue moving westward.

After receiving the letter, the latter was happy and expressed his feelings, but he did not know that his unauthorized use of troops would make people settle the accounts after the fall.

But King Huan still needs him now.

With the clear agreement of King Huan, Sun Qi fought against Liang and was no longer afraid of his actions and began a full-scale invasion!

The 100,000 Liang troops in the eastern territory were in a state of retreating in the past two months of fighting against Sun Qi, and their troops were seriously damaged, so they could not resist it at this time.

The letters from the East Gate were sent back to Liangdu in a letter.

At this time, Youzhou began to shake due to the shock of the entire defense line.

Both sides of the situation are not good for one's own side, especially the Huan army, which cannot be stopped at all. If the Liang army does not care and only deal with the Qin army, then Sun Qi will not be able to use it for long, and more than 100,000 troops will be approached by the capital!

Under such a situation, the situation in the Liang Kingdom court can be imagined.

On the king's chair directly above, King Liang's face was gloomy and terrifying.

He squeezed the war report just now from the East Realm, and almost gritted his teeth and said, "Old King Huan! He bullied me too much! I thought it would be fine if he got Dingzhou and Ruyang! But unexpectedly, he would still have to fight in the hinterland of our country!"

In the eyes of King Liang, King Huan is undoubtedly more hateful than King Qin!

Qin attacked Liang in a head-on battle. Both kings were determined to dominate. The two sides had different positions, so there was nothing to say.

However, when Huan Kingdom conquered Liang, he surrendered at the beginning and then took advantage of the situation.

This made King Liang curse King Huan.

After he vented his anger, the Prime Minister of Liang stood up: "King, the urgent thing is now to arrange defensive wars. I thought the Huan army would not go deeper, but now it seems that the situation in our country is becoming more and more critical."

"How to defend?" asked King Liang.

The Prime Minister of Liang Kingdom pondered: "Now the Youzhou defense line, our army still has a large number of troops. If we still only target the Qin army and ignore the Huan army, then the Huan army will advance all the way. It is better to divide the troops in the east and defend the two lines."

King Liang thought about it. In his heart, the courage of the Qin army was not comparable to the pressure caused by it, but it was bad. Sun Qi suddenly appeared from the Huan army.

This made Huan Jun, who was despised by King Liang, change his appearance.

Just as hesitated, Cai Yan stood up and said, "Although the Prime Minister's suggestion is feasible, it has a big hidden danger."

King Liang looked at him: "Please tell me if you are right."

Cai Yan said: "If you divide the troops in the East, Youzhou will definitely lose it! If the East is not defended, our country will have no room for maneuver."

He was right. Once the troops were divided and Youzhou was not well equipped and both sides were defeated, Liang Kingdom would be directly destroyed.

King Liang also understood this truth, which was also the reason he just considered.

"But if there is no division of troops, can you watch the Huan army approaching all the way?" King Liang said.

Cai Yan thought for a while: "I have a plan, but I need to give up some things, just afraid that the king will not accept it."

It’s time for this, so King Liang would not care about anything else: “Let’s talk about it, now I don’t care about the surrounding counties. As long as Liang Kingdom can survive this crisis, whether it’s ceding land or paying the money!”

"From the determination of the King of Qin to attack Liang, if you ced the land and pay the silver, you can no longer retreat to the Qin army."

Cai Yan said: "The only way is to give up Youzhou and retreat to Yanzhou."

Yanzhou and Liangdu have the last barrier. Geographically speaking, if the Qin army and Huan army want to enter the capital, this place will be a common necessity for the two armies.

Cai Yan's idea was very clear, and he gave up the counties outside and concentrated all his troops in Yanzhou.

The two armies of Qin and Huan were advancing across the left and right, and would face all the forces of the Liang army here.

In this way, one city can defend the army of two countries, and there is no need to think about which side can't defend it.

Of course, there are also disadvantages of this strategy, that is, Yanzhou will become the throat of Liang Kingdom. Once it is lost, the whole thing will collapse.

After hearing him say this, King Liang couldn't help but take a deep breath, how dare he make a decision easily.

When the other ministers heard this, they began to discuss in a low voice.

The Prime Minister of Liang State thought for a while and said, "The old minister thinks that Lord Cai's strategy is feasible. Our army now has more than 300,000 troops. If we defend Yanzhou City, we will block Qin Huan's route from the army. We will provide convenient supplies in the rear, so we can stay for at least a year or two."

"And the King of Qin will never dare to fight for a year or two!"

"At most three months, if Yanzhou is not broken, the Qin army will retreat!"

The Prime Minister of Liang Kingdom is already very old. The reason why he is still in this position is because he is a veteran of two dynasties and is highly respected.

Seeing that he also agreed, King Liang hesitated for a moment, his eyes sterned and said:

"Okay! As Lord Cai said! Immediately order Xue Wu to retreat to Yanzhou and the east border, don't sacrifice your troops in vain!"

Cai Yan still has some unique understanding of the battle situation.

Because if the Liang army does not retreat to Yanzhou, the troops outside will be too busy to take care of the troops and will be slowly eaten.

Instead of waiting for the troops to be exhausted and the city is lost, it is better to retreat early, preserve your strength and hold your throat.

This is also based on the current situation of Liang Kingdom. It is a last resort. Who is willing to give in if there is any chance of winning?

The king's order was soon spread to Youzhou.

After receiving this letter, Xue Wu was silent and did not speak for a long time.

He was actually very unwilling to let him give up Youzhou, but after careful consideration, he also understood that Wang Ting's decision was not wrong, and retreating might be better.

Therefore, after closing his eyes deeply and sighing, he waved helplessly: "Send an order to retract Youzhou City across the board, order the baggage troops to escort food and grass, and retreat first."

"What!?"

Hearing this, the generals were shocked.

"Shi Shuai! This is awesome, why are you retreating? The Qin army is attacking the Youzhou defense line! The war is in a hurry!"

"This is the order of the great king and the whole army retreated to Yanzhou." Xue Wu was angry but weak.

"But Shuai Xue!" Tang Yue became anxious.

"Get away." Xue Wu waved his hand again, his voice feeling indescribable.

The Liang army decided to give up Youzhou and the order was issued soon.

Xue Wu's military talent was very good. When he retreated, he did not panic at all. He first let the slow-moving baggage troops evacuate, and then to prevent Xiao Yuan from pursuing, there were ambushes along the way to intercept him.

The rapid retraction of Youzhou's defense line made the Qin army very confused.

Although the Liang army has been in a passive defense, it is not at the moment to say that they are defeated.
