"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, he has a good plan, and I have a wall ladder."
After Sima Yi received Sima Cuo's letter, he immediately made instructions and ordered Sima Cuo to immediately lead his troops to pretend to cross the Yellow River to attack Luoyang, and spread the news vigorously.
After Fu Youde got the news, he was bound to lead his troops to come back to help, but Sima Cuo set up an ambush on Fu Youde's way back, and he would definitely be able to make some gains.
The carrier pigeon shook its wings, fluttered into the air, flew out of Huaixian County, flew over the mountains, and delivered Sima Yi's letter to Sima Cuo's hands after more than an hour.
"Haha or Zhongda is resourceful and able to adapt to changes in the enemy" Sima Wrong laughed out loud after reading it, and immediately told Xiahou Shang and Cao Zhen Sima Yi's plan.
After reading it, Xiahou Shang and Cao Zhen all admired the five-body throwing to the ground, and they were convinced: "No wonder the general appointed Sima Zhongda as the main general when he crossed the Yellow River, his ability to adapt to changes is really superior, and it is worth learning from us."
This move is offensive and defensive, and the latter strike is really powerful."
A total of 17,000 men and horses immediately withdrew from the valley grass on both sides of the galloping road, bluffing along the way, erecting more flags, stretching the ranks, and marching towards the Mengjin Ferry of the Yellow River, shouting the slogan of "Break through Luoyang and recover the Central Plains", deliberately attracting the attention of the Han army scouts.
Sure enough, as Sima Yi expected, after Fu Youde led his troops into the territory of Heyang County, he received a report from the scout: "General Qiyu, a Wei army suddenly came out of Wen County, with a scale of about 30,000 people, and is currently rapidly marching towards Mengjin Port, and its goal seems to be directed at Luoyang. ” "Oh no, it's bad" Fu Youde was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly reined in the reins, "If Luoyang is lost, I have no shame to see Xu Tiande."
For Fu Youde, it is his duty to defend Luoyang, and whether he can expand his territory is secondary.
Because Xu Da did not ask Fu Youde to attack the city and seize the land, but just let him hold Luoyang, and a small Yi County cannot be compared with Luoyang, which has a population of one million, if Fu Youde loses Luoyang because of the attack on Yi County, it is tantamount to picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons "Retreat, the front army becomes the rear army, the rear army becomes the front army, quickly retreat" Fu Youde waved his spear, turned his horse's head, and ordered the retreat in a hurry.
The stakes are very high, and Xu Shu does not dare to jump to conclusions easily, in case Cao Jun really seizes the opportunity to sneak attack Luoyang, this responsibility is not something he can afford.
However, Xu Shu thought that Cao's army was suspicious, and suggested to Fu Youde: "According to the scout's report, Cao Ren took away 50,000 or 60,000 people when he crossed the river from Baimajin to reinforce Xiahou Yuan, and Yang Su was in charge of nearly 20,000 sailors, so I am afraid that the most troops that can be mobilized in Sima Yi's hands are 30,000 or 40,000 people."
He still has to divide troops to guard Hedong, Yixian, Huaixian and other places, how can he invest nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack Luoyang at once?"
"Maybe Sima Yi is ready to put his death and come back to life, and it is not necessary to concentrate all his forces together to storm Luoyang, I must lead the cavalry first and return to Luoyang as soon as possible."
Fu Youde has always been cautious and did not dare to take risks easily, so he decided to lead the cavalry to take the lead.
Xu Shu groaned: "I think that the Cao army is likely to be bluffing, anyway, there are still 10,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang City, even if the Cao army crosses the Yellow River, it will not be able to break through Luoyang in a short time."
General Fu didn't have to be in a hurry, and after avoiding the division of troops, Sima Yi was given an opportunity to take advantage of, causing our army to lose troops and lose generals. ” Before Fu Youde sent his troops, he left 10,000 horses and handed them over to Chen Qun, the assassin of Sizhou, and asked him to defend Luoyang.
But subconsciously, Fu Youde didn't trust Chen Qun, how much can a captured assassin know how to use soldiers Luoyang is the center of Gyeonggi, there are millions of people in the city, the houses outside the city are like, the towns and villages are all over, the fertile fields are thousands of hectares, and the faction is prosperous, even if the Cao army cannot break through Luoyang in a short time, but as long as it burns and loots outside the city, the losses and impacts caused are also immeasurable, and Fu Youde cannot bear it.
"No, Chen Changwen is good at governing the country and short at using soldiers, I must not take risks and gamble, I must ride lightly and quickly to prevent the Wei army from crossing the river from Mengjin and keeping the enemy out of the country, so as not to encounter war in Luoyang and ruin the lives of the people."
Fu Youde rejected Xu Shu's proposal, and decided to personally lead 8,000 cavalry to advance ahead, and ordered Xu Shu to lead a large army with his lieutenant generals Deng Sheng, Zhou Ang and others to follow behind, and do everything possible to prevent the Wei army from crossing the Yellow River and attacking Luoyang.
Fu Youde gave an order, the sound of horses' hooves was loud, and the eight thousand cavalry rolled up the dust under the leadership of Fu Youde, and galloped towards Mengjin Port at full speed.
After half a day's gallop, this team has entered the territory of Wenxian County, which is still more than 40 miles away from Mengjin Port, and the road is gradually cramped and narrow, with trees and rocks on both sides.
"The whole army should speed up, and be sure to arrive at the Mengjin Ferry before evening" Fu Youde was eager to return to Luoyang, and he didn't think much about it, so he took his horse and gun, and opened the road first.
Sima Coo hid behind the rocks, staring at Fu Youde's banner, and was ecstatic in his heart: "Okay, it's right for Fu Youde to die with this, it seems that God wants to help me achieve great achievements."
The trees on both sides of the post road are thick, the north wind is blowing, swaying, rattling, 17,000 Cao troops are hidden in it, all of them bend their bows and arrows, ready to roll stones and wood, ready to go.
Just waited for Sima to give an order, and then he fired arrows and stones, killing him with a river of blood and corpses all over the valley.
Under the leadership of Fu Youde, this cavalry gradually drilled into the encirclement, unaware of the impending danger.
When he saw Fu Youde's war horse passing under his feet, Sima Coo lifted a rock of nearly 100 catties, smashed it on the head, and shouted: "Give me arrows" With Sima Cuo's order, thousands of arrows on both sides of the valley were fired, and dense crossbow arrows fell from the sky like flying locusts, pouring over the heads of the Han army.
The round rocks jumped down the cliff and fell into the crowd, and the Han soldiers who smashed turned on their backs, screaming one after another.
Fu Youde was caught off guard, and was hit by a rock falling from the sky, and his eyes turned black when he boarded, and he fell off the horse.
The soldiers behind him didn't have time to rescue, so they were shot into hedgehogs by the rain-like crossbow arrows, rolling stones and beating wood whistling down, but Fu Youde was buried in the pile of rubbles in a moment.
A generation of famous generals died on the battlefield.
Fu Youde was killed in an attack, and the cavalry behind him was leaderless, and more than 3,000 horsemen were shot by the ambush led by Sima Cuo, and the rest retreated in panic, looking for the main army led by Xu Shu to the north, and reported the bad news.
"Haha, I didn't expect to shoot Fu Youde, the main general guarding Luoyang, to death, it's really great news" Sima Coo ordered Fu Youde's body to be dug up from the pile of rubble, find a coffin to be buried first, and send someone to transport it back to Huai County in advance to report the good news to Sima Yi.
"It was really unintentional to shoot Fu Youde to death, the morale of our army has fallen to the bottom, and this battle can just lift the morale of the army.
I should repair the book to report to Your Majesty, and pass on the officers and men of the three armies to boost the prestige of the army.
Sima Yi was also excited after receiving the good news, and immediately repaired a letter and sent a scout to 800 miles to rush to Cao Cao to report the good news.
Cao Ren was currently leading Ju Wuba, Xu Chu, and Zhang Xiu to leave Liyang and return to Hanoi, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed after learning that Sima Yi had designed to shoot Fu Youde, the main general of Luoyang, and immediately issued an order: "Zhongda really lived up to the general's trust, passed on my order, and asked Sima Coo to block the Mengjin port and block the men and horses led by Xu Shu in the territory of Hanoi County. ” After receiving Cao Ren's order, Sima Cuo immediately led his troops to march towards Mengjin Port, defeated the 2,000 Han troops guarding the port in one go, and burned the ferry and the warships in the Yellow River to ashes, just waiting for Cao Ren to lead his troops back and encircle the men and horses led by Xu Shu.
Xu Shu blamed himself after learning that Fu Youde was ambushed and killed, but he also knew that now was not the time to be sad, and after Fu Youde died in battle, he had to command this army to jump out of Hanoi County to avoid being counter-surrounded by the Wei army.
According to the scout's report, Cao Cao had led his troops back to Hebei from Baimajin, and Xu Shu believed that Cao Cao would not let go of this opportunity to counterattack, and would inevitably send a large army to encircle and suppress the troops he led.
In the case of unclear enemy situation, it is better to lead the troops to attack Yixian to the west, and strive to fight Xu Huang's army as soon as possible. t1706231537:
