When Cao Cao stormed the Hulao Pass, Xu Huang received a report from Chang'an. He hoped that he could split a part of his troops and attack Puyang to relieve the danger of Hulao Pass. However, Yu Yi made the camp very strong and eagerly urged him. Suddenly, Xu Huang was unable to attack, and he had to guard against enemy reinforcements in the direction of Yecheng. He couldn't draw any troops for a while, and Ma Yun had no choice but to transfer the Fifth Army to the north.
As the war progressed, Yuan Shao of Yecheng remained silent, and Yue Yi was trapped in the camp. Xu Huang was finally able to mobilize a part of his troops, led by Tai Shici, and headed south. He had just laid down the night before. East Acheng,
The various armies of the Han army often used various means to pass news. Therefore, Wei Yan already knew that Dong'e City was captured. He no longer took Liu Xiebei’s escape to his heart. Instead, he let go of a few homing pigeons. I was informed of the situation,
The sun jumped out of the horizon, shed a golden light, Xun You and the others also circled the road. Looking back, they could not see the outline of Puyang City. They were calm in their hearts. However, Xun You did not dare to stop at all, and continued all the way to the north at noon. , I finally arrived at Dong'e County, and saw the "Cao" flag flying above the city.
Until this time, Xun You’s mood completely relaxed, and he drove straight to the city gate, and the East A city gate opened wide. From Xun You’s point of view, it was obviously not affected by the war, so Xun You was relieved to lead the team straight. Bendong'a County Office,
At the gate of the county government, two guards leaned against the wall with water and fire sticks listlessly. It was not until Xun You and the others came before that they suddenly woke up and hurriedly greeted them. Xun You said nonchalantly, "Quickly, take me to see your county magistrate. "
The officer seemed to see that Xun You was a big man, and he nodded and bowed to welcome him in. However, as soon as Xun You’s feet entered the second door, the two officers changed their faces and threw Xun You to the ground. At the same time, Dong Ah The four gates of the county seat were suddenly closed together, and countless men and horses emerged from the streets and alleys, surrounding the county government office, and countless heads appeared on the surrounding roofs. Countless clusters of arrows flashed cold in the sun and took aim. Chen Qun and the three hundred guards, Chen Qun knew that there was no way to escape, and immediately announced their surrender and asked the three hundred guards to lay down their weapons.
After reading this report, Liu Xin was not very happy, but frowned.
Because the battle report did not mention the whereabouts of Liu Xie and Cao Cao’s family at the end, and I don’t know whether these people have been captured or sent elsewhere by Xun You. According to the truth, such important figures should be specifically explained. Jushou and Tian Feng are all well-measured people. They shouldn’t make such low-level mistakes. This makes Liu Xin even more puzzling. On the other hand, Liu Xin knows that he is in Cao Cao’s After learning the news of Puyang’s fall, it is likely to be desperate, and Hulao Pass will face even greater difficulties.
Liu Xin pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his horse whip strongly, and said, "Go back to Chang'an as fast as possible."
Although the entire team is cavalry, and there are prairie horses with extraordinary endurance, but thousands of miles are not just there. The team set off from the early morning and walked to the treetops on the moon before arriving at the city of mud. This time, Liu Xin did not enter the city, nor did he send anyone to inform King Shanshan Hani, but went directly to the military station outside the city.
After more than a year of construction, the conditions of the barracks have been quite good, not much worse than Hani’s palace, but the five thousand cavalrymen had no time to admire the scenery of the barracks. They all untied and fell asleep, because of Liu Xin. It has been ordered, the third shift to cook, the fourth shift to set off, and now it is close to the second shift, that is to say, they only sleep for more than an hour, how can they not hurry up
As for their mounts, they are actually more tiring than them, but this military station outside the city of Niuni is a large military station with many horses. Therefore, when they wake up, they can change to other horses, and their original horses Just stay in the military station, and the soldiers in their own military station come to feed and take care of them,
Liu Xin didn't go to bed by herself, because there was another battle report sent over.
This battle report is about the Taiyuan war. From the battle report, the leader should not know what happened on the Mobei grassland. Although the repeated attacks on Daling, Qixian and other cities have failed, they have lost their troops, but are concerned about the siege equipment and warfare. The application of the law has become more and more proficient. Even the siege equipment such as ladders and rush cars, Xianbei people have already learned how to make them.
As a result, Zhang Liao and Gaoshun are facing more and more difficulties in Daling and Qixian areas. However, before they left, Liu Xin once sent people to send them "the enemy advances, we retreat, and the enemy stationed us." The sixteen-character policy of harassing, the enemy is tired, I fight, the enemy retreats and I chase", and this sixteen-character policy has finally played a huge role.
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun divided the 10,000 cavalrymen of the Fourth Army into three teams. Relying on the eight cities in this area as a cover, they attacked in turn, either fought or retreated. The Xianbei army was turned around, and the leader encountered several times. After losing, they led the army to retreat to Taiyuan City. Zhang Liao and Gaoshun seized the opportunity of the Xianbei retreat and suddenly pursued them with all their strength. They wiped out more than 30,000 people from the leading rear army and captured Gengyang, a town south of Taiyuan. city,
There is also a content on the battle report about Yu Yi and the 300,000 Yuan army. This Yuan army has no reinforcements outside and no food and grass inside. It has fallen into a desperate situation, but this person is quite talented. The army has made several offensives, and although there have been many gains, it is very difficult to eat the 300,000 Yuan Jun in one bite.
Later, Zhang Xun came up with a strategy to cut off Yuan Jun’s water source. This year, Hebei was severely drought and the weather was very hot. It is better to deal with without food. If there is no drinking water, humans and animals will not survive.
Although this strategy was a bit shameful, it was extremely effective. It was just that Yu Yi seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and there was no evidence in Yuan Junying’s village. It turned out that at the beginning of the camp, he ordered his soldiers to dig many deep pits in the camp. , The pits were filled with clear water, and now the water source was cut off by the Han army, these deep pits relieved Yuan Jun’s emergency.
Later, Xu Huang and others thought of many more methods, but it still failed. In fact, all the main forces of the First, Second, and Third Army have been gathered here, except for the soldiers who died in the battle against Yan Liang a few days ago, and Taishi The man and horse that Ci led, now there are a total of 230,000 people surrounding Yuan Jun. If a strong attack is carried out, it can easily defeat Yu Yi and his 300,000 Yuan army.
But these Yuan Jun are all Han people. They are not foreign races like the Huns, Xianbei, and Wuhuan on the grassland. Most of these soldiers are ordinary people. Everyone has his own wives and children. Once a powerful offensive is launched, I don’t know how many people will die. Therefore, Liu Xin and Ma Yun emphasized to Xu Huang that the lives of these Yuan Jun soldiers should be preserved as much as possible. Under such circumstances, Xu Huang and other talents restrained the impulse to attack and wanted to force Yuan Jun to disarm. surrender,
Until noon yesterday, riots finally broke out in Yuan Jun’s camp, because the soldiers had been running out of food for three days. I couldn’t hold a knife or a gun. How could I resist the attack of the Han army? The soldiers became irritated, and Ju Yi killed dozens of people. Finally, they couldn’t resist. The whole camp was rebelled. He was helpless and had no choice but to let go of 300,000. Yuan Jun surrendered,
For a time, knives, guns, bows, arrows, and flags were piled up outside Yuan Jun’s camp. After disarming, Yuan Jun lined up to the porridge shed set up by the Han Army to receive “relief.” In fact, the Han Army had plenty of food and grass, but these Yuan Jun soldiers had already After being hungry for many days, they can’t eat steamed buns, rice, or meat, but they can only drink some porridge, otherwise their stomachs will be injured, so it looks like a disaster relief.
Yu Yi was very organic. Taking advantage of the opportunity of a large number of Yuan Jun’s surrender, he took more than a hundred of his trusted followers and hid quietly in a corner of the camp. Yu Yi usually loves the soldiers and often eats and lives with them. The trust and support of the soldiers, and he allowed Yuan Jun to surrender, it was tantamount to saving 300,000 Yuan Jun soldiers’ lives in a disguised form. Some Yuan Jun soldiers who knew the truth did not report him, and even made some cover for him to let him escape. The Han army’s search and arrest,
After dark, Yu Yi found a gap and fled. In fact, he was still quite dissatisfied with the results of this battle. Although it was impossible for his army to defeat the Han army, But if Yuan Shao sent troops from Yecheng to respond, he would be sure to bring out 150,000 people. These 150,000 people are not ordinary soldiers. They are all warriors who have been on the battlefield. With such a force, relying on the Hebei provinces With the advantage of the large population of the state, Yuan Shao is fully capable of making a comeback.
In fact, Yuan Shao is also making such preparations. Although he dared not send troops to the south for rescue, he was not willing to give up Yecheng and evacuate to Youzhou. The city defense and Liu Xin fight to the death, and there are many phantom spies lurking in Yecheng. The news in this area has already been detected by them, and the information in this area was passed on in time, but Xu Huang's army of more than 200,000 troops is the next step. Whether it is going north to attack Yecheng or going south to cut off Cao Cao’s retreat is waiting for Chang’an’s decision.
Liu Xin put down the battle report in his hand and fell into contemplation. Suddenly the stern horn came to mind outside the camp. The time for assembly has come again. Although he hasn't slept all night, Liu Xin ran out immediately. Soldiers had led a white steed long ago. , Liu Xin jumped up, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Go,"
Now he can't wait to fly back to Chang'an, many things have reached the time for him to decide on his own.
Due to years of war and chaos, the entire land of Hebei has been in depression. Although Yuan Shao is not short of money and can organize a powerful army at any time, the lives of the people have reached an unsustainable level. At this time, a team was dressed in shabby clothes. The people of Japan are marching through the country roads with difficulty, like a group of refugees heading towards Yecheng. However, if someone you know carefully observes, you will find that the group of "refugees" headed by them is the general who escaped from birth. Yu Yi,
