North of Lunu City, the Great Tent of the Yan Army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

More than 30,000 Yan troops went south to Jizhou, and the soldiers came to Lunu City for nearly two months, but they were never able to move forward.

Although Liu Bei is a veteran soldier, and Zhuge Liang is a strategy, he also has Yu Zhang Fei, Zhao Yunwen, and other generals under his command, and the lineup can be called luxurious.

The pottery merchant has Huo Quai, a general, as well as Li Guang's sharpshooter battalion, Gao Shun's trapping camp, and Chen Ping, a top strategist.

In terms of lineup, the Wei army is naturally not as strong as the Yan army, but it is enough to make the Yan army move forward without attacking.

Just when Liu Bei was having a headache, but the state side was not angry, and there were many unfavorable news, first the loss of Huguan, followed by the destruction of the Montenegrin army, and every piece of information made Liu Bei scold Yuan for being incompetent.

Just today, Liu Bei finally waited for the news he least wanted to see.

Sima Yi, the envoy of the Jin State, rushed to his camp and handed over Yuan Shang's handwritten letter, claiming that Jinyang was besieged and in danger, and asked Liu Bei to immediately lead the Yan army to the rescue.

"I didn't expect Yuan Xianfu to be so useless, sitting on the danger of the mountains and rivers of the state, first with the help of the Huns, and then with the help of the Black Mountain thieves, he was still killed by the Tao thieves to such an unbearable point." Liu Bei put down Yuan Shang's handwriting, and his words did not hide his contempt.

Sima Yi was calm, and only said lightly: "The pottery thief is the main force of the Wei State to attack my Jin Kingdom, not that my lord is incompetent, but that the pottery thief is too strong, we can hold out until this time, it is already a miracle, if it is the pottery thief who attacks the Yan Kingdom with the whole division, whether the Yan King is stronger than the Jin Duke is not yet known." ”

Sima Yi is neither humble nor arrogant, in the face of Liu Bei's sarcasm, in a few words, he easily maintained Yuan Shang.

The next Zhang Fei saw Sima Yi being disrespectful to Liu Bei, and he was immediately stunned, and he wanted to attack.

Liu Bei was not angry, but looked at Sima Yi again with an impressive and appreciative gaze, and Fang sneered: "You want this king to save Bingzhou, why should this king save it, why should you continue to drag the main force of the pottery thief, this king just waved his army south, and even if the pottery thief takes the merger, this king has taken his Jizhou, isn't he more than worth the loss." ”

Liu Bei deliberately wanted to embarrass Sima Yi.

Sima Yi was not in a hurry, but said lightly: "Of course, King Yan can not save my Jin Kingdom, but Yi thinks that if King Yan does not save Jin Kingdom, there will be two major disadvantages." ”

"I want to hear about it." Liu Bei took a sip of wine and curiously motioned for him to continue.

Sima Yi said unhurriedly: "First, King Yan, you are the advocate of the Five Kingdoms Expedition to Wei, and my Jin State has also raised troops to respond to the call of the king, and now my Jin country is in danger, if the king is not saved, he will lose his trust in the world, and who will dare to form an alliance with the king again in the future." ”

Liu Bei's expression moved slightly, obviously Sima Yi's words touched his nerves.

"The second and most important point is." Sima Yi accentuated his tone, "If my Jin Kingdom is destroyed, the pottery thief will be equivalent to hanging a knife on the side of Yan Kingdom, as long as he is willing, he can divide his troops into two ways to flank Yan Kingdom, at that time, I am afraid that Yan Kingdom will follow in the footsteps of my Jin Kingdom, and the truth of cold lips and teeth, with the wisdom and martial arts of King Yan, will not be impossible to see through." ”

Liu Bei's body was shocked, the sneer on his face had been exhausted, and his expression gradually became solemn.

Sima Yi finally said: "The pottery thief has been prepared for a long time on the front line in northern Hebei, Huo Qubing is the talent of the commander, and there are scheming people like Chen Ping to help him, with the strength of the Wei army in Jizhou, Yi thought that it should be enough to last until the fall of my Jin Kingdom, at that time, the king of Yan did not capture Jizhou, and the flank was facing the threat of the pottery thief's soldiers, for the king of Yan, it was the real gain that outweighed the loss." ”

As soon as he spoke, Liu Bei gasped, a layer of cold sweat oozed from his back, and he looked at Zhuge Liang, who was silent.

At this time, Zhuge Liang was still indifferent, only shaking the feather fan lightly and nodding slightly to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei understood, immediately laughed, and said angrily: "This king has heard that Sima Zhongda is extremely talented, and when I saw it today, it really deserves its reputation." In fact, the Duke of Jin is in danger, the King has long had the heart to save him, but he is afraid that he will lead the army into Jin, but it will cause the misunderstanding of the Duke of Jin, so he has not set off for a long time. ”

Sima Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "King Yan is wise and benevolent, Yi admires it so much, and the Duke of Jin of Yi Dynasty thanked King Yan first." ”

"Mr. Zhongda is serious, this is what this king should do, and it is not worth thanking."

Liu Bei waved his hand humbly, and immediately ordered wine and meat to be placed in the tent to entertain Sima Yi, a distinguished guest who came from afar.

Liu Bei got up in person and held Sima Yi's hand tightly, "Bei has admired Mr. Zhongda for a long time, and it is rare to see Mr. Zhongda's demeanor today. ”

"This ...... Thanks to King Yan's attention, he was ashamed and didn't dare to be. Sima Yi was a little flattered for Liu Bei's warm salute.

That night, in the king's tent, the shadows of two men were entangled in the tent cloth and did not sleep all night.

……

To the west of Hangu Pass, the Qin army camp.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao was also holding Yuan Shang's handwritten letter, thinking about it and thinking about it, but he couldn't make a decision for a long time.

"This Yuan Shang was defeated so quickly, 50,000 Hun iron cavalry, 10,000 Black Mountain cavalry were all defeated by him, and he couldn't stop the pottery thief." Cao Cao's brows furrowed deeply, and his sunken eyes were filled with a mixture of amazement and disdain.

"The strength of the pottery thief, how powerful Yuan Shao was back then, he was not his opponent, let alone his uncompetitive son." Liu Ye in front of the tent sighed.

Cao Cao was silent, and after a long time, he looked at Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, Yuan Shang sent Tian Feng to persuade this king to withdraw the troops of Hanguguan and move to the state to relieve him of the siege of Jinyang, do you say that this king is going or not?" ”

Guo Jia, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, slowly opened his eyes and smiled faintly: "Actually, King Qin has already made a decision in his heart." ”

Cao Cao's figure was stunned, and the corners of his mouth raised a wry smile.

Guo Jia had already stood up, pointed to the map and sighed: "The main force of the pottery thieves is in the Jin Kingdom, Jia originally wanted to use my 50,000 male soldiers of Great Qin to break through Hangu Pass and sweep the Central Plains, but unexpectedly, this fake Zhou Yafu has such a strong ability to defend, Jia I'm afraid that if we want to break through Hangu Pass, it will take at least more than two months to use it, and it will be ...... at that time."

Guo Jia's finger moved, and it fell in the direction of Bingzhou, "With Yuan Shang's ability and strength, I'm afraid that Jinyang has already fallen, and the entire Bingzhou has fallen into the pottery thief, even if we capture Hangu Pass at that time, I'm afraid the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Cao Cao's brows furrowed deeply, his eyes had a complicated look in his eyes, he stood up, stood in front of the map with his hands in his hands, stared deeply, and was silent for a long time.

After a while, Cao Cao struck the map with his fist and said in a deep voice: "Once the state is lost, the main force of the pottery thief can be slaughtered into the Guanzhong by Pusaka, and then our main force will be restrained by Zhou Yafu, and the middle side of the pass will be broken in by the pottery thief, and I am afraid that Daqin will follow in the footsteps of the Jin Kingdom." ”

After saying that, Cao Cao turned around abruptly and said resolutely: "The Jin Kingdom must not be destroyed, this king must be saved, reply to Tian Feng, this king Keri will withdraw the troops of Hanguguan and move north!" ”

……

Ten days later, in the east of Jinyang City, the Wei army camped.

"Good news in the south, General Peng Yue has conquered the two cities of Xingyang and Longshan two days ago."

"Good news from the north, General Tian Dan broke through the city of Jiaoyang yesterday, annihilated 500 enemies, and captured 100,000 grains and grass."

In the king's tent, the potter listened to the good news of Zhulu, nodded slightly, was in a good mood, and kept drinking wine.

In the cities around Jinyang, the potters have sent all the generals to attack it, turning Jinyang into a lonely city, which is almost the work of these days.

"What about the siege fortifications, how is Luban going?" The pottery thief took a sip of wine and asked again.

Jing Ke arched his hand and said: "Back to the king, Lord Lu has dug the first trench around Jinyang City, and now the second trench is already being dug, and the earthen wall in the east of the city has also been built. ”

"Very good, Lu Ban did a good job." The potter nodded with satisfaction, "Pass the order, and assign another thousand soldiers to Luban, so that he can speed up the progress of the project." ”

"No."

The order was conveyed, and the potter continued to drink, just waiting for the iron bucket array to become one, and then it was not too late to clean up Yuan.

"Recently, our army has been wantonly attacking the city and building fortifications, but Yuan Shang has not reacted at all, and Yuan Shang is surprisingly quiet without the King of Wei noting?" Zhang Liang, who had been listening silently, suddenly said.

The potter brought the glass to his lips and immediately hovered.

Fan Hao gnawed on the leg of mutton, and said disapprerovitically: "What's so strange about this, Yuan Shang has less than 10,000 soldiers and horses on hand, and he scared us out, how could he have the courage to go out of the city to cause destruction." ”

"No, even if Yuan Shang doesn't have the guts, he should be clear about the consequences of being surrounded by us, the bloody examples of Yecheng and Liyang are right in front of him, and it is impossible for him to turn a blind eye." Zhang Liang immediately denied.

Zhang Yi also followed: "The ovary is reasonable, not to mention Yuan Shang, he also has Sima Yi and a wise man like Judge under his command to help, these people can't sit still and don't give Yuan Shang any ideas." ”

The potter put down his wine glass, thinking about it, Yuan Shang's ability is not good, but Sima Yi's cunning wolf is definitely not a person who eats and waits for death.

"Then what the hell do you think Sima Yi will give Yuan Shang?" The potter asked.

Before the words fell, a scout rushed in and sent an urgent message from the direction of Youzhou.

"It's a mistake to go to the sick, read it quickly." The potter frowned, brushed his hands and shouted.

"Youzhou made an urgent report, a few days ago Liu Bei had retreated to invade our territory, leaving the general Zhang Liao to guard Yijing, and led 30,000 Youyan cavalry to move to Daijun, intending to come to the Jin Kingdom to rescue Jinyang."

As soon as this information came out, everyone in the big tent was shocked, and Fan Hao was also taken aback, forgetting to nibble on the leg of mutton in his mouth.

At that moment, another scout rushed in.

"Your lord, General Zhou Yafu of Hangu Pass sent someone to send an urgent report in the starry night, claiming that Cao Cao withdrew his troops back to Guanzhong overnight, and his main force was going straight to Pubanjin, intending to cross the Yellow River and enter the east of the river, clearly wanting to go north and merge with the state to rescue Yuan Shang."

As soon as the second emergency report came out, it was not just as simple as shaking, and there was an uproar in the big tent.

"His grandmother's, Liu Bei and Cao Cao, what's going on with the two old miscellaneous hairs, why don't you spend it with Huo Quzhi and Zhou Yafu, and suddenly my brain cramps are rushing to save Yuan Shang's little miscellaneous hair." Fan Hao shouted excitedly and in surprise.

After the initial shock, the pottery merchant calmed down in a blink of an eye, and a sneer appeared on his young face, "The soldiers of the Three Kingdoms gathered in Jinyang to fight a decisive battle with this king, Sima Yi, you are really not idle, but you can be regarded as having a good plan for Yuan Shang." ”
