After hearing Zhou Yu's analysis, the soldiers understood Zhou Yu's good intentions.Although it is a pity that I was not able to fight Liu Bei this time, but looking at the current situation, it is indeed very important to preserve the strength of soldiers and horses, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no major battles in the future, you must know that the number of soldiers and horses is a symbol of strength.Ling Tong, Huang Gai, and Lu Meng faced Zhou Yu's long-term plan, and secretly admired it in their hearts.Then he ordered the officers and men of the three armies under his command to be in strict formation, so they had to train and repair in the wall, and wait for the enemy troops in the city, and they were not allowed to send troops without authorization, otherwise they would be dealt with by military law.When Zhou Yu transferred his troops to Badong County, Yizhou to prepare for a confrontation with Liu Bei's army, the forces of King Zhao's soldiers and horses north of the river were also undergoing a series of changes.Let's say that Zhao Yu was attacking and annexing the state, and secretly sent five generals, Dian Wei, Pang De, Gao Lan, Gao Shun, and Gan Ning, to Yanzhou to join the army of Chen Gong and Tai Shici.With the close cooperation of everyone, Tai Shici led an army to capture Yingchuan in Yuzhou, Gao Shun attacked Chen in Yuzhou, Gao Ran attacked Liang State, Deng Xian and Liu Bi attacked Lu State, and then Lü Kuang, Lü Xiang and the potters of Xuzhou joined forces to attack Pei State.Dian Wei led the heavy army to follow the army to advance, and every time he broke through a city, Dian Wei personally led his men and horses to rectify the city, and strictly ordered the soldiers to be restrained to prevent the new army from entering the city to harass the people, and then sent people to pacify the people in the city.When all the cities were stabilized, Dian Wei took several generals and attacked Runanyang County, the final fortress of Yuzhou.After some of the previous state cities were broken, many Cao troops retreated southward, and finally all of them flowed into Runanyang County.When Dian Wei led the soldiers and horses to approach, the defending generals of Runanyang County refused to allow those defeated soldiers to enter the city for the safety of the city, and even gave bows and arrows to force those Cao soldiers to leave the city gate.For this reason, it chilled the hearts of these sergeants, don't look at Dian Wei's fiery and straightforward personality, but he still has some brains, and immediately ordered a pair of shield soldiers to step forward, save these abandoned Cao soldiers, and take the opportunity to incorporate them into existence.Subsequently, under the joint efforts of the three generals Tai Shici, Gao Shun, and Dian Wei, as well as the Cao army who surrendered and was absorbed, the originally impregnable Runanyang County became so vulnerable, and the entire Yuzhou could be said to have been taken unexpectedly smoothly.Cao Jun, who was originally in Xiangyang and Nanyang County in Jingzhou, wanted to send troops to support, but something unexpected happened to them.Two more ferocious and ferocious enemy armies penetrated directly into the territory of Sili from Yanzhou, which can be described as a short moment's effort, and Sili's Hanoi County and Henan County were lost one after another and became the territory of the enemy army.Especially when the soldiers and horses who escaped from Henan County ran back to Nanyang County.The defenders of Nanyang County, who were originally preparing to send troops to rescue, were immediately furious when they saw the soldiers and horses that had fled back in front of them.What everyone didn't expect was that this Zhao Yu would send troops to attack Bingzhou, Yuzhou and Sili at the same time, and now most of the territory of Bingzhou has fallen into the hands of Zhao Jun, and Yuzhou has also fallen to the whole city, and Sili has already been taken by the enemy.If the enemy army continues to advance westward from Sili, it will be equivalent to cutting off the communication between Nanyang County and Xiliang, and then the B Army will be attacked by Sun Quan and others in Jingzhou Nanyang County, Xiangyang and other places, so it is very important to prevent the enemy army in Henan County from continuing to advance westward.This time, those who were stuck in Nanyang County and Xiangyang were the famous generals of Cao Wei, Zhang Liao, Cao Ren, Li Dian, Le Jin and other generals, and the total number of soldiers and horses was less than 30,000.Considering that Sun Quan's army was eyeing him in the south, Zhang Liao, as the main general, did not dare to order all the generals to send troops to conscript, but it was not a matter of urgency to stop the enemy's westward advance.At that moment, Zhang Liao said to Li Dian and Le Jin: "Li Dian and Le Jin, the two generals, the enemy army invaded our city today, if you don't stop it, I'm afraid the enemy army will continue to attack our city."
So this time, the two generals stayed here to be responsible for the defense, and Zhang Liao led the soldiers and horses to resist the enemy army.When Zhang Liao sent troops, no matter what happened in Nanyang County, the two generals must go all out to hold on, and they must not send troops, just waiting for Zhang Liao to return. ”When Le Jin heard this, he hurriedly said to Zhang Liao: "General Zhang, this time General Li Dian can sit here, and I, Le Jin, will send troops with you to recruit the enemy army, and we can also support each other." ”Le Jin, with courage and heroism from Cao Cao, has been with the army for many years, conquering the south and the north, and has made countless achievements.From attacking Yuan Shao in Guandu, he fought bravely and beheaded Yuan Shao's general Chun Yuqiong.He also attacked Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang in Liyang, and beheaded his general Yan Jing.Soon, Le Jin didn't hit the Yellow Turban, Yongnu, and Guan Cheng, all of which were broken.From Pingjingzhou, Liutun Xiangyang, attacking Guan Yu and others, repelling their people, the valley barbarians of the Nanjun counties all went to Lejin to surrender.It can be said that Le Jin is one of the brave generals under Cao Wei, Cao Cao asked Le Jin and Zhang Liao to join forces to guard this place, such as Cao Cao's intentions, you must know that Cao Cao's best thing is to know people and make good use of them.Zhang Liao was also quite difficult to refuse Lejin's invitation, but he still persuaded him: "General Lejin's heart, Zhang Liao naturally understands, but this time Jiangdong Sun Quan and other troops are stationed here, if they find that our army is reduced, they will definitely covet our army's land."
Although General Li Dian is both civil and military, after all, two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, and it is too difficult for General Li Dian to fight against the Jiangdong people of Jingzhou at the same time, so General Le Jin still stays here and joins forces with General Li Dian to sit here.Nanyang County is the last pass of our army in Jingzhou, and it must not be lost, otherwise our army will have no chance to recapture the entire Jingzhou in the future. ”"This.In this case, General Zhang Liao must take care of his life, and General Li Dian and I are waiting for your good news here.This time the enemy army is coming, but it is prepared, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses are strong, the generals are brave, in any case, the general must not be strong, otherwise Lejin will send troops without authorization even if he violates the military order, and go to Sili to rescue the general.That is, Le Jin couldn't help but show a serious look towards Zhang Liao, which made Zhang Liao feel grateful.As soon as Le Jin's voice fell, Li Dian on the side also said impassionedly: "General Zhang Liao, just rest assured, with me and General Le Jin sitting here, the Jiangdong juniors don't want to invade my city."
Even if I, Li Dian, fight to the last soldier, I will not let an enemy army step into the city unless they step over my Li Dian's body. ”"Two generals."
Seeing Li Dian and Le Jin so loyal, Zhang Liao was very emotional.Then he patted his chest and swore to the two of them: "The two generals, please rest assured, this time Zhang Liao will definitely do his best to lead troops to drive the enemy out of our state and county, and he will definitely not let the enemy advance half a step." ”That is to say, after explaining some things to everyone, Zhang Liao led a thousand soldiers and horses out of the camp and went straight to Sili Hongnong City.Let's say that Gan Ning, one of the five tiger generals under Zhao Yu's command, led a team of soldiers and horses straight into Henan County under the arrangement of Chen Gong, and the army was running through all the way as if it was endless, and those Cao troops could not stop Gan Ning's march at all.When Gan Ning captured Henan County, he ordered the people in the city to be pacified and the soldiers who surrendered, and then Gan Ning gathered all the soldiers to gather and hold a military meeting with the Henan County General's Mansion.During the meeting, I only heard Gan Ning say to the generals below: "How can there be any problems in appeasing the people in the city and those Cao soldiers who surrendered?"
”"Very good, this matter must not be relaxed, appeasing the people's hearts and surrendering troops is the foundation of stability in the army, if a sergeant is found to harass the people, he must be immediately beheaded to set an example, and even his immediate superiors need to be demoted by one level as a warning."
After Gan Ning finished speaking, he immediately asked: "This time, our army has taken Hanoi County and Henan County respectively, and it seems that there seems to be peace in the city at the moment, so it is better to order the sergeant to continue to explore westward and survey the land of Hongnong."
As long as our army can take Hongnong, we can block the garrison of Cao's army in Jingzhou, and our army can continue to advance. ”When Su Fei heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly bowed to Zhang Liao and said: "General, the Chen Gong military division has not explained, our army must not transition into the army this time, otherwise Cao Cao will be forced to be in a hurry, and it will be really unfavorable to our army at that time." ”Gan Ning smiled after hearing this, then shook his head and said: "You are too cautious, this time my army can be said to be pouring out, attacking the three places of the Cao army at the same time, plus Liu Bei has been fighting with the Cao army for Hanzhong, Cao Cao is like the fat on the chopping board this time, just waiting to be divided, I am afraid that once Liu Bei takes Hanzhong, he will continue to advance north."
And the north side of Hanzhong is Sili Jingzhao and Fufeng County, and after Jingzhao is Hongnong, once Liu Bei robbed Jingzhao, it is directly the land of Hongnong.At that time, our army will have to fight Liu Bei even if it wants to attack, so I want to take this place before Liu Bei makes a move.At that time, even if Liu Bei succeeds in going north, he will not dare to arbitrarily attack the land seized by our army, even if Liu Bei has that heart, he will have to weigh his own strength. ”In the face of Gan Ning's well-founded rhetoric, Su Fei and the others couldn't help but be slightly affected, and immediately said to Gan Ning: "General, please rest assured, I will send someone to investigate the situation of Hongnong's enemy, and I will report as soon as I have information." ”With the dispatch of several detectives, according to the mission instructions arranged by Su Fei, they investigated the situation of this Hongnong generation.Just as several sentinels approached the land of Hongnong, they suddenly noticed a strange noise nearby, which frightened several people to hide in a hurry and quietly observe the surrounding situation.Suddenly, a person with sharp eyes saw a group of people and horses rushing to the land of Hongnong, and the first general was wearing a silver helmet and a halberd in his hand, which seemed to be by no means an ordinary military general, and the flag of the leader was the "Zhang" character general flag, and those accompanying sergeants were dressed in Cao military uniforms.Several detectives hid in the jungle, and after knowing that the team had all left, one of them hurriedly said: "This time, the Cao army has sent troops to aid Hongnong, hurry back and inform General Gan Ning." ”:
