Since Le Yi and Fan Li's successful sneak attack on Xiapi, the Xuzhou army suddenly fell into a state of panic, and at the critical moment, Xu Da made a quick decision, led his troops to abandon Pengcheng and rushed to Suiling in the south of Pi overnight to join forces with Qin Qiong, and finally stabilized his position.
Seeing that Xu Da was steady with his troops, retreating without chaos, Qin Qiong was brave and good at fighting, Guo Ziyi and Chen Ziyun did not dare to force it too tightly, and they were even more worried that Qin Qiong would lead his troops to counterattack Xiapi, so he temporarily stationed troops outside Xiapi City and Le Yi were horns for each other, while sending a messenger to report to Cao Cao and ask for instructions on how to use troops next "Alas, Chen was busy in vain, but he made wedding dresses for Le Yi and Fan Li, two nobodies, I am really unwilling" Chen Ziyun led his generals Wang Yanzhang, Dong Ping, Li Jin, Li Tong and others to ride their horses under Xiapi City, and saw the big banner of "music" floating on the city wall, and his heart was quite unpleasant, and he was as depressed as he was in his chest.
Li Jin held the silver Xuanlu gun in his hand, urged the yellow horse under his crotch, and said arrogantly: "General Chen is in charge of the rest assured, with my Li Jin to help you in the battle, sooner or later I will help you achieve a great achievement."
I heard that Li Jing annihilated Cao Bin's army in Nanpi, and was leading his troops to Yecheng, so I might as well lead my troops north to rescue Yecheng, if they meet with the Han army on a narrow road, Li vowed to behead Li Cunxiao and capture Li Jing alive.
When Chen Ziyun was serving under Li Ji, he had seen Li Cunxiao's martial arts, known as the number one military general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was even able to carry Li Yuanba for more than 100 rounds.
This Li Jin actually said that he wanted to kill Li Cunxiao, Chen Qingzhi naturally didn't believe it no matter what.
But Li Jin joined Chen Ziyun's command for nearly a year, and he also showed a certain strength, such as defeating Wu Song before the battle, and fighting Xu Da for 30 rounds without winning or losing.
A mantra that Li Jin often hangs on his lips is: "Lu Fengxian, who is known as Lu Bu among people and a red rabbit among horses, suffered a big loss under Li when he was young.
Later, Lu Bu became one of the few powerful generals in the world, second only to Li Yuanba, Li Cunxiao and others, doesn't this show that Li can compete with Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao" Chen Ziyun understood that this was because Li Jin didn't know the strength of Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao, and some Yelang was arrogant, and he didn't know that there were people outside the sky, so he would be ashamed.
Qingzhou and Nanpi are separated by thousands of miles, and they will not fight Li Jing for a while, so Chen Ziyun does not want to hit Li Jin's confidence and destroy his prestige.
But Li Jin instigated Chen Ziyun to go north to rescue Yecheng, and Li Jing faced the gong and the drum confrontation, which was something that Chen Ziyun was unwilling to do anyway, and immediately refused: "Not to mention that Li Jing's soldiers are many generals, several times that of our army, even Tang Guoer Li and Cao Bin can't help him, with only 50,000 horses and horses in our hands running for a long distance, isn't it a mantis arm as a car, unless His Majesty orders us to return to Yecheng, otherwise we must not bring humiliation on ourselves" In this way, the 50,000 horses led by Chen Ziyun and Guo Ziyi's 30,000 horses, as well as the 20,000 horses led by Le Yi, went down to the division, waiting for Cao Cao's instructions while watching the movements of Qin Qiong's army.
Just when the Wei army was completely in control of Xiapi, Qin Qiong and Xu Da led their troops to move to Siwu County, east of Xiapi, and at the same time ordered Qin Yong, Yang Yanzhao, Liyi, Wei Chigong and other four groups of men and horses to come over and get closer, and they would form a team of soldiers and horses, and gather forces to prepare to recapture Xiapi to the death.
However, after a day or two, all the soldiers and horses met Si Wu, including 30,000 led by Xu Da, 25,000 led by Qin Qiong, plus the teams of Qin Yong and Liyi, as well as the reinforcements brought by Yang Liulang and Wei Chigong from Huainan, so that the Han army in Siwu also increased to 100,000 people, and the 100,000 Wei army in Xiapi City was separated by a horse on the lake, facing each other from afar.
"Soldiers, I, Qin Qiong, am ashamed of my trust in Your Majesty, and after losing Xia Pi, Yang Meiren, Chen Changwen, and the women and children of the Yang family all fell into the hands of the Wei army, and my Qin Qiong's sins cannot be atoned."
In front of the generals, Qin Qiong, who has always shown herself as a tough guy, burst into tears and cried bitterly, "Li Jingdong broke Li Tang, and rejected Cao Wei in the west; Yue Fei refused to defend Wancheng, blocked the enemies on all sides, and defended the Han.
Wu Qi set Jiaozhou in the south, and drove Guishuang for a long time, compared to them, what kind of thing am I, Qin Qiong, what qualifications do I have to be the general of the expedition to the north, and I will go to the same place as these meritorious men, I will write a letter to ask for guilt, please Your Majesty demote me to a partial general" Xu Da was grateful from the bottom of his heart for Qin Qiong's weapon, not only did he not despise him because of his status as a general, but instead gave him military power, so that he gradually accumulated certain merits.
Seeing Qin Qiong hanging his head at this moment, he was naturally the first to stand up and be relieved: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and the governor must not blame himself excessively" Wei Chi Gong patted Qin Qiong's shoulder, grinning and persuading in a rough voice: "Hey, I said Qin Shubao, what do you look like a big man crying and crying, and if you lose it and take it back, I, Wei Chi Jingde, will be the first to take the lead for you."
"Recapture Xiapi" Qin echoed Wei Chigong's proposal with red eyes, "Revenge is not overnight, overnight is not a hero, even if the child dies in the city of Xiapi, he must recapture the city" Wu Song and Lu Yi were also filled with righteous indignation, and they clenched their fists and said: "Yes, the three armies will die to recapture Xiapi" At this time, Li Jing's letter arrived, ordering Qin Qiong to lead the Xuzhou Army to the north, accept the command of Wei Qing, strategically abandon Xuzhou, and work together with the Qingzhou Army to protect Qingzhou and resist the Tang army's invasion of Qingzhou.
After reading the letter, Qin Qiong suddenly became angry: "What does Pharmacist Li mean that it is not the same thing for me to lose Xuzhou, and I have to help him defend Qingzhou, although my Qin Qiong's record is not as good as his, but I can't be so arrogant."
At this moment, Liu Biao's letter arrived, informing Qin Qiong to accept Li Jing's dispatch temporarily, and everything should be based on Li Jing's horse, and work together to carry Tang Wei, and there must be no mistakes.
Qin Qiong suddenly looked helpless, and sighed and said: "Alas, there is no way, the record is not as good as people, so you can only be a dwarf."
It's not that I don't accept Pharmacist Li, but I don't accept Pharmacist Li, why did I give up Xuzhou and help him stick to Qingzhou, doesn't it make Xuzhou even worse."
The first one to stand up and advise was still Xu Da: "Don't be impatient, Your Majesty is far-sighted, and there must be a reason for you to accept Li Zhengdong's dispatch."
And Li Zhengdong has been using troops for many years, he has never been defeated, and his vision has always been very accurate, and this time his decision to abandon Xuzhou and stick to Qingzhou is not without purpose, let alone selfishness. ” "Why do I feel that Li Jing's selfishness is causing trouble, isn't it because Qingzhou was beaten down by him, and Xuzhou has nothing to do with him, so I let me abandon Xuzhou and guard Qingzhou" Qin Qiong blew her beard and glared, foaming at Li Jing.
Xu Daguan said with a smile: "No, no, the governor should not be wrong to blame Li Zhengdong In Xu Da's opinion, there are three reasons why Li Zhengdong decided to abandon Xuzhou and defend Qingzhou, the first is that Xuzhou is a horse and a flat river, easy to attack and difficult to defend, as long as our army gathers troops, it can be recaptured at any time." ” After a pause, he continued: "Second, sticking to Qingzhou can form a north-south flank attack on Xuzhou, and it can also ensure the retreat of Li Zhengdong's army, curb Li Tang's expansion, and prevent Li Tang from becoming stronger.
Third, as long as Qingzhou can be held, he can also quickly attack Li Tang himself at any time, so that Li Shimin is like a fish in his throat and does not dare to come out. ” Yang Yanzhao echoed: "What General Xu Tiande said is extremely true, after such an analysis, the lesser of two evils should indeed be more important to stick to Qingzhou." ” Lu Yi and Wei Chigong also agreed with Xu Da's analysis: "Since the two of you are right, and there is a Huanghuang holy decree, let's give up Xuzhou and go north to Qingzhou according to what Pharmacist Li said, it's a big deal to defeat Li Tang, and then let Pharmacist Li help us recapture Xuzhou." ” Qin Qiong stroked his beard and sighed: "Xu Tiande is right, it seems that I Qin Qiong is short-sighted, and Xu Tiande will command the soldiers and horses along the way."
With Qin Qiong's order, 100,000 Han troops abandoned Xuzhou and went north to Qingzhou overnight.
Almost at the same time that Qin Qiong led the army north, Li Shimin also ordered Shi Jingsi and Li Keyong to lead the army north through the flying pigeon biography, and captured Langya, Chengyang and other places all the way, echoing with the main army that had taken Donglai County, and fighting for Qingzhou with all their might.
Qingzhou, Langya country, the hometown of Zhuge Liang.
A hundred and ten uninvited guests on horseback came to a small town, and the two inns in the town were full, and they refused to go on the road for two days in a row.
In addition to the hundred and ten horse-shaped men, there were also three carriages, in which ten handmaidens were seated, and the stars were surrounded by a peerless beauty with a plump and graceful figure and a shy face, which made the town a lot more lively for a while.
Every day, there will always be many people in the market who come to try to see the beauty, but Xu Chu's burly figure stood in front of the door, and he was suddenly frightened, so he could only hide away and peek a few times at the inn, and he could be regarded as having the capital to brag about it when he went back.
Fan Zeng, who had just arrived in the inn, was discussing countermeasures with Kuai Liang, Xu Chu and others: "The situation in Jizhou has changed abruptly, Yecheng has been captured by Li Jing, including Queen Bian and the crown prince, and His Majesty intends to exchange the hostages of Xiapi for the hostages of Yecheng.
But the day before yesterday, he had sent someone to inform Li Shimin that he would offer Yang Yuhuan, the first beauty in Xuzhou, within three days.
At this moment, Cao Cao's envoy quickly chased after him, informed Guo Jia of Guo Jia's plan to join the negotiation of the eldest grandson Wujian, and asked Fan Zeng to personally go to Donglai County to meet Li Shimin, inform Cao Wei of his distress, and use the eldest grandson Wujian to compensate Yang Yuhuan, and ask Li Shimin to understand Cao Cao's difficulties.
"Well, Guo Fengxiao's proposal is good, the old man will go quickly and meet Li Shimin in Donglai."
After reading the letter, Fan Zeng expressed his deep approval of Guo Jia's proposal and decided to leave immediately. t1706231537:
