Foresight and Near-term Concern 3

Liaodong was originally far away from Xu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info After having Cao Ren there, the connection became much closer, and Cao Cao was still reluctant to use this younger brother after all. Don't worry about his somewhat twisted and violent state now.

So the scouts are very attentive and the messages are frequent. Cao Ren learned that Cao Cao had ordered to summon people from all walks of life to go south for the second time, and his blood rushed straight to his brain. What flashed back to my mind was the blood-stained battlefield of the Dragoons, whose heads were cut off like wheat stubble.

The bloody images stained his eyes red, and he felt that his vision was a little blurry, and his hand slapped uncontrollably towards the table. The thumb-thick wooden top cracked at the sound. The soldiers outside the tent each shrunk their necks, communicating their worries and panic with their eyes. The general is getting more and more frightened, if he continues like this, will he become a killing machine?

The worries of the pro-soldiers only dared to hide in their hearts, and no one dared to mention them. But soon, they saw Cao Ren fall into madness.

The bloodbath order made everyone who heard the order feel like an ice cellar. The general ordered that Xiangping be captured within 10 days, and that the Gongsun clan should be slaughtered and not a single one should be left behind! Whoever kills more than 100 enemies will receive a reward of 50 for every 100 enemies! Those who exceed 200 will be rewarded and promoted to one level!

As soon as this order was issued, the whole army was in an uproar. For days, everyone was numb to the smell of blood. In order to stimulate the courage and bloodiness of the soldiers, Cao Ren had a whim and asked them to drink a cup of the enemy's blood. It's so disgusting that you don't want it. He himself drank a glass every day, in the name of remembering the lesson of blood.

Now, the ten-day deadline has been announced, and the soldiers only feel that something is churning in their stomachs, and one by one they say that they have gained courage, and even their strength has faded a lot. Because they haven't even seen the city wall of Xiangping now, let alone the soldiers coming to the city, there is still a long way to go, and there is another small city in between.

When the Gongsun clan learned that Cao Ren was going to launch a general attack, they spared no effort to exaggerate and exaggerate the cruel, ruthless, and tyrannical image of Cao Jun. Plus the "cooperation" of Cao Ren himself. The people of Liaodong hated Cao Jun to the core, and after the mobilization order, the people spontaneously came to defend the city. Cao Ren never expected such a counterproductive effect.

So, in the next ten days, there was a bloody storm on the land of Liaodong. The tragic situation that is not enough to describe with a bloody pestle is eye-catching. The Gongsun clan originally wanted to be weak and wanted to surrender to save his life, but he could only ask for the first one.

Of course, ten days did not allow Cao Ren to taste the fruits of victory, but it made Cao Cao feel distressed. If the Dragoons lost morale and reputation under Xiangyang City, what they lost in Liaodong was real resources, and a large number of excellent soldiers and war horses fell here. This is not a loss of two or three thousand, nor is it a gain or loss of one city or one pool, but the core strength of the dragoon army has been exhausted here.

If such a loss can make Cao Ren get what he wants, get rid of his demons. Cao Cao estimated that it would pass with one eye open and one eye closed. After all, thousands of troops and horses are not as important as Cao Ren.

But the problem now is that so many manpower and material resources have been thrown, and there has been no decisive victory except for the huge losses caused. On the contrary, it led to the unity of the whole and the people in eastern Liaodong unprecedentedly united. What the hell!

I think that back then, he used the strategy of delaying the army and the discord to kill the remnants of the Yuan family effortlessly, which caused the people in Liaodong to scatter and gradually weaken. I didn't expect it to grow again if I wasn't careful. The secret hatred of Cao Cao at the age was the bitter fruit of the rush south and the softening of the north. In this world, there is no place to stop.

However, at this time, he can't settle the account on the Jiangdong Sun family, and the family is now an ally and a financier, so he has to be raised. So, Cao Cao poured all his anger on Liu Yan. Several orders were issued in a row to step up preparations for war. On the Liaodong side, Cao Cao was very worried, and ordered his two sons Cao Biao, Cao Lin and Cao Lin to transfer Cao Ren back to Xudu with their own handwritten letters, as for Liaodong, anyway, they have been beaten back by Cao Ren for more than 30 years, so let them just gasp.

So, Cao Ren went back to Xudu to cultivate his self-cultivation, and the Cao army in Liaodong was managed by someone else, and the task was to recuperate and monitor and deter the Gongsun clan.

The war was fought for a long time, but it ended so hastily. It had been many years before Liu Yan had time to refocus on the Gongsun clan, and at that time, she no longer wanted to thank the Gongsun clan for helping her drag Cao Ren and Cao Cao's large number of cavalry.

At this moment, her whole energy is focused on the battle in Fuling in front of her. They had been attacking for more than ten days in a row, and seeing that the resistance of the opposite city was getting weaker and weaker, victory was just around the corner.

In Fuling City, Deng Xian and Liu Gui came to the city to personally supervise the battle for several days, and they were haggard in shifts day and night, and when they were worried about their frowns, they reported that the water village had been breached, and the naval army of Jingzhou had broken through the blockade on the river with the banner of Ganzi, and had been killed.

Deng Xian, who was sitting in the city, felt his heart skip a beat, and a sense of powerlessness surged into his heart: "Hurry up and urge reinforcements!"

"General, we are already surrounded! The brothers who had been discharged to ask for help still have no news at this time, I am afraid that I can't count on it, so please make a quick decision on the general!" the soldiers pleaded from the side.

"Decision? What decision can there be now? The old man has already made plans to live and die with the city, as for you, the old man doesn't force it, so let's be calm!" Deng Xian closed his eyes after speaking, and stopped talking.

As soon as the soldiers heard the old general say such a thing, they knew that he had already made up his mind to die, and at that moment several people knelt down and said that they wanted to follow the old general, these are all old men who have followed Deng Xian for decades. The younger ones, the ones who thought too much, all walked away silently.

The city was gloomy and foggy, but outside the city was a hot scene. The first to bear the brunt was the water army of Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, who broke through the water village, they were like a sharp arrow, and on the bow of the boat, in addition to Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, the little Deng Ai was also fully armed, but standing with the two of them, he looked a little short and immature.

Originally, as a disciple of Xu Shu and Pang Tong, Deng Ai did not understand water warfare. But after so many days of observing Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, he also had some understanding of some basic common sense and tactics of water warfare. Gan Ning did not arrange for him to do anything, but he did not restrict his movements, allowing Deng Ai to accumulate experience in actual combat. This is a very precious treasure for him to be in charge of himself in the future.

Gan Ning really raised his eyebrows this time. What could be more exciting for him than to fight back to his hometown? This was even more bullish than plundering Jiangdong! Therefore, after breaking through the water village, the navy army did not have any rectification and stopped, and directly attacked it.

The old man Huang Zhong, who was in charge of the attack coordination, waited until he found out that there was a riot in the city. At the same time that Gan Ning broke through the water village, Meng Da launched a mutiny. With more than a dozen pawns, Wu Yi opened the city gate, and held a white cloth to welcome Cen Qi's vanguard into the city, imitating the pattern of Qin Ziying's surrender.

In the city, the old general Deng Xian committed suicide, and many of his own soldiers died, and those who did not die wept over the old general's body.

As for the old general Liu Bi, he originally wanted to die, but he was shot in the shoulder by Huang Zhong with an arrow, and his own soldiers took the opportunity to seize his knife and was finally captured.

Liu Yan smiled happily and entered Fuling City surrounded by a large army. The first person called to meet was not Meng Da, who came to surrender, but Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, who had not been seen for a long time.

Gan Ning was in high spirits at this time, and Liu Yan only felt happy when he saw that he had pride written on his face: "The general has really made a great contribution this time!"

"Fighting for His Highness is the luck of the last general. Gan Ning said sincerely. If it weren't for Liu Yan's prompt back then, how could he be where he is today?

"I think I'm lucky if you're here. Liu Yan smiled: "The Jingzhou Navy has a strong and prosperous situation today, and your merits are obvious to all! By the way, Zhou Sima has worked the long-distance march this time, and this time you have taken Fuling, and your credit is not small, from today onwards, you will be a captain, and cooperate with General Gan to guard Fuling!" Liu Yan turned her face and said to Zhou Tai, who had been making a small transparent shape.

Zhou Tai kept his head down, trying to minimize his influence. This is the first time he has seen Liu Yan, and his impression of Liu Yan is still in the stage of the female devil promoted by Sun Quan, as a general, he is so panicked.

As a result, no one heard it before anyone saw it. Liu Yan's voice was crisp and bright, and he only felt pleasant. In addition, listening to her talk to Gan Ning without any pretense, as straightforward and refreshing as her voice, her heart was a lot more stable, and then I heard her say that she made herself a lieutenant and guarded Fuling with Gan Ning.

This made Zhou Tai a little unable to react for a while: This is just the first time we have met, even if you don't want to go ahead of the past, you should ask some opening remarks such as the name of your net worth? Why is it so familiar that I am an ordinary person under your command, and I will be promoted with a sentence of foreshadowing? What do you mean?

Zhou Tai was still at a loss, Gan Ning on the side couldn't stand it, how could this person say that he was also a person who could be counted among the generals of the Jiangdong Water Army, how could he be so stupid?"

"The end... "Zhou Tai was full of cleverness, and his knees were weak and he knelt directly.

"Okay, you're all tired, go back to tidy up your military affairs and rest and rest. Liu Yan waved her hand unwillingly, originally she wanted to keep Gan Ning to speak, but remembering that there were still many things to do, she sent the two away first.

As soon as Gan Ning left, Pang Tong brought the quartermaster to report the battle damage and spoils. Liu Yan rubbed his brows, knowing what Pang Tong meant, he wanted to leave himself in Fuling and deal with the paperwork, and he led a large army to Chengdu. However, how could Liu Yan let him get his wish? Chengdu she must have gone in person.

made up her mind, and without waiting for Pang Tong to speak, Liu Yan spoke first: "The military advisor came just in time, I just wanted someone to find you." The quartermaster put the paperwork in order and sent it in, and I'll read it later. ”

The quartermaster nodded and retreated, and Liu Yan beckoned to Pang Tong: "Senior brother, come and sit down, tell me what our army will do next." ”

Pang Tong came over to thank him, Liu Yan poured him tea, but Pang Tong didn't drink it: "Your Highness, my subordinates think it's better for you to stay here." ”

"Let's not discuss this, let's talk about something else. Liu Yan blocked him with a word: "The good news must be transmitted back immediately! It will be spread all the way back! It is best to beat the gongs and drums, and passers-by will know it!"

"Yes, the subordinates have already arranged it. Seeing that the proposal was refuted, Pang Tong sighed almost inaudibly and stopped persuading, the boss's temper, the more he persuaded him, the more he didn't listen.

"As for Wu Yi and Meng Da, who came to Chengcheng, send Wu Yi to Liu Ba and leave him to dispose of, Meng Da...... Let him go to Chengdu with us. Liu Yan continued, "As for us, Senior Brother thinks it's better to rest for a few days?" Liu Yan asked in a softened tone.

"The Wu family is a famous family in Shu, and Wu Yi is the patriarch, is Your Highness thinking about it and seeing him?" Pang Tong hesitated.

"No! Before entering Chengdu, there was no family, no patriarch, no one! These people are all black-hearted, and if they don't give them some color first, they won't have a word in their mouths. Liu Yan shook her hand: "It's a bit interesting to have this Meng Da, it's enough to have him show us the way!"

"......" Pang Tong was speechless again. He, a subordinate of a man, can only give advice, and it is the boss's business whether to listen or not: "In this case, the army can continue to move forward after three days of rest." ”

"Well, we can also make the next step in conquering Chengdu as soon as possible, by the way, is there any news from my brother and third uncle?" Liu Yan frowned.

"Your Highness don't worry, it's best if there is no movement over there, as long as we get to the city of Chengdu, everything will fall into place. Pang Tong comforted.

"Well, I hope everything goes well, before I took Fuling, my eyelids jumped, and after I took Fuling, it didn't get any better......" Liu Yan pretended to sigh: "Senior brother, you're tired these days, go back and rest, that Meng Da is yours." ”

Three days later, the large army set out. Gan Ning and Zhou Tai stayed behind to rectify the Fuling Navy and the wounded soldiers, and rebuilt the water village by the way.

Next, the road was unimpeded, the army passed through the city, the soldiers came to Chengdu, and Lejin and Wei Yan joined the division, forming a siege of Chengdu. At this time, Cao Cao's holy decree was sent to Chengdu through the channel of Xiliang, and it happened to be intercepted by Liu Yan. This time it ignited Liu Yan's anger and made her make up her mind, even if it was a bloody battle to kill her, she would not hesitate! Damn Cao Cao is here again, Cao Ren, Cao Ren, general, general, I let you get away with it last time, this time I must catch you and hang you for three days!

Teacher, why don't you tell me this news? Are you afraid that if I give up Chengdu and the class teacher will come back? How is it possible? I want to enter Chengdu, I want both the east and the west and the two rivers to belong to me, and I want to turn the country of abundance into my granary, and then I will come to argue with Cao Ren, so that I can have an absolute advantage.

In Liu Yan's eyes, Cao Cao's threat is equivalent to Cao Ren's threat, and Cao Ren's threat is what she thinks, the biggest threat. Of course, she never told Xu Shu or Pang Tong about this argument. They didn't know that Cao Ren was her inner demon. But in fact, Cao Cao's fierce generals are like clouds, and strategists are like rain, so how can there be more than one Cao Ren? )
