The decision was made, Cao Cao naturally did not hesitate, and the next day he led an army of 50,000 to leave Xiangwu City and go straight to the street pavilion in the northeast. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In this battle, in addition to the 10,000 soldiers and horses under Xiahou Dunyuan on the front line of Qishan, Cao Cao had used almost all the troops he could use.

He knew that he had no room for reservation, and if he couldn't hold the street pavilion and let the Wei army enter the hinterland of the Longxi Plain, then any of his subsequent efforts would be in vain.

The army marched day and night, and in less than a day, they arrived at the city of Luoyang, a hundred miles west of Jieting.

At this time, the scouts came with information that the Wei army's advance had just passed through Jing County, and it was still three hundred miles away from Jieting, and they still had plenty of time to go to Jieting to set up defenses.

Cao Cao then relented, and that night ordered the army to camp outside the city of Luoyang, and gathered all the ministers in the imperial tent to discuss the defense tactics of the street pavilion.

It's late at night, the royal tent.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that after all, the Wei army is outnumbered, although Liu Bei's strength is not weak, but at present, the pottery thieves have drawn nearly 80,000 troops to the north, and Liu Bei can make a difference, and I am not 100% sure, if we pin all our hopes on Liu Bei, it seems that it is a little too passive." Before the war, Fa Zheng put forward a new view.

"Well, what Xiaozhi said is not unreasonable, but at the moment there seems to be no other way than to stick to the street pavilion and count on Liu Bei." Cao Cao sighed.

"Not necessarily." The corners of Fa Zheng's mouth raised slightly, revealing a hint of weirdness.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Could it be that filial piety has a clever plan?" ”

Fa Zheng stepped into front of the map and gestured: "The terrain of Jieting City is still dangerous, and it will not be a problem to support it for two or three months, but if Your Majesty will station all the soldiers and horses in Jieting City, once it is surrounded by the Wei army, if there is any mistake, it will be all over." ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao nodded slightly.

Fa Zheng's hand suddenly pointed in the direction of Chang'an, "According to the intelligence, the Wei army has come to Jieting with a large army, so there must be an empty army behind Chang'an, which gives us an opportunity to take advantage of." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Cao Cao, but also the Chinese warriors were all lifted in spirit, and their ears were pricked up.

Cao Cao also flicked his hand and signaled that Fa Zheng continued.

Fa Zheng sneered: "Therefore, the minister's strategy is that Your Majesty can use the name of increasing the defense of the Street Pavilion to advance the army to the east, but only send more than 10,000 elite soldiers to guard the Street Pavilion, and Your Majesty will lead the main force to ride straight to Anding County in the north of the Street Pavilion, and then go south along Jingshui, you can bypass the main force of the Wei army and take Chang'an directly!" ”

Cao Cao's eyes were full of light, and he suddenly became excited, and his eyes moved from the Longxi counties in the southwest to the Anding counties in the north.

After thinking for a while, Cao Cao said worriedly: "That pottery thief has always been a plot, he can't be completely defenseless, if we can't break through Chang'an City quickly, and the pottery thief will lead the army back to help, won't we be empty." ”

"What we want is the potter's help." Fa Zheng said with a smile: "If the pottery thief draws fewer troops to help, we can break it in one fell swoop, if there are many reinforcements, then the pressure on our defenders on the street pavilion side will be greatly weakened, so that the initiative in this defensive battle will be in our own hands." ”

As soon as the words turned, Fa Zheng's mouth was murderous, "Of course, if the pottery thief doesn't notice it, it will be better if we can recapture Chang'an in one go, and when the pottery thief's grain road is cut off, the army of more than 100,000 will definitely collapse, and Your Majesty can stage an earth-shattering reversal, wouldn't it be better." ”

Fa Zhengyang sprinkled some words, saying that Cao Cao's eyes were shining, his spirit was greatly excited, and he couldn't sit still with excitement, and he looked at and weighed it on the map.

The left and right Ma Chao and other civil and military personnel also attached themselves to the strategy of legality.

After weighing it for a long time, Cao Cao's eyes gathered, and he flicked his hands and said resolutely: "What Xiaozhi said is extremely true, we must not pin all the survival of Great Qin on others, this God-given opportunity to regain the initiative, how can I miss it." ”

Cao Cao immediately made a decision and divided more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard the street pavilion, while he himself personally led the main force and went straight to Anding County.

The decision has been decided, and the next question is who will go to the street watchman.

Ma Chao, Xu Huang, Yan Liang and other Great Qin generals generously asked for battle, willing to lead the army to guard the street pavilion.

And Cao Pi was excited for a while, and he also wanted to stand up and ask for battle, but was stopped by Jia Xu with his eyes, so he had to give up and give up this opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Cao Cao glanced at the generals who had generously asked for battle, and his eyebrows were a little relieved, and he was thinking about which general to send to the Street Guarding Pavilion the most appropriate.

Just when Cao Cao was about to make a choice, a person suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the street pavilion is related to the survival of the country, and it is none other than the minister to stick to the important task of the street pavilion!" ”

Cao Cao stared at it, and the person who invited him to fight was his brother Xiahoudun.

At the beginning, Xiahoudun was shot and injured his left eye, and after nearly half a month of recuperation, the injury has gradually stabilized, but it has not healed, and his eyes are still covered with gauze.

Xiahou Dun is Cao Cao's most trusted clan general after the late Cao Ren, and he also knows that Xiahou Dun is excellent in martial arts and quite capable of the art of war, if in peacetime, Xiahou Dunzi is the most suitable candidate.

Just seeing Xiahoudun's injured eyes, Cao Cao hesitated, and said with a smile: "Yuan Rang personally went out on the horse, which naturally made me the most relieved, but now Yuan Rang is still injured, and I am only worried about ......."

"Your Majesty!"

Xiahoudun took a deep look, interrupted Cao Cao, gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "The minister's injury is the best known, this little injury is not worth mentioning, the previous minister failed to hold Chang'an, he has always been ashamed in his heart, and he is so humiliated by the pottery thief, and he is also resentful in his heart. ”

Xiahoudun had said it to such an extent, what else could Cao Cao say, he immediately smiled happily, and said with a flick of his hand: "Okay, since Yuan Rang is so confident, how can I not give you this opportunity to take revenge and be loyal to the country, I will order you to lead 12,000 elite soldiers to go to the street pavilion to garrison." ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for your trust, the minister swears here, the city is in the people, and the city is lost!" Xiahoudun was excited and excited, and generously made a military order.

Cao Cao agreed to Xiahoudun's invitation, and thought that the street pavilion was very important, and one person was not enough, so he sent Wang Ping, who was good at guarding, as a deputy general, and ordered the two generals to command 12,000 troops, and set up troops to go to the street pavilion in the starry night.

As soon as Xiahou Dun's army walked on the front foot, Cao Cao led an army of more than 30,000 foot cavalry on the back foot, continued to the north, and went straight to Anding County.

……

East of Longshan, Jing County.

The pottery merchant led more than 100,000 troops, and the vanguard had entered Jing County, and then to the west through Jing County, it was about to enter the Longshan Mountains.

As soon as the potter's front foot was encamped, the fine work of Jinyiwei sent back information, claiming that Cao Cao had dispatched from Xiangwu City and raised the country's troops to the street pavilion.

"As expected, Cao Cao has not been knocked unconscious, and he knows that if he wants to stop my army from entering Longxi, he must stick to the street pavilion." The potter sneered and showed the information in his hand to everyone.

All the eyes of the civil and military were focused on the map, that small and inconspicuous point.

That place is called the street pavilion.

The potter stood on the map, his eyes fixed on the word street pavilion, and his thoughts flew in his mind, and scenes of historical memories appeared in front of him.

Street Pavilion, that humble little city, but it is a very famous place in history.

In the unchanged historical trajectory, Zhuge Liang made the first northern expedition to the Central Plains, killed Wei by surprise, and captured the three counties of Tianshui, Nan'an and Anding in one fell swoop, and almost took the entire Longxi.

Subsequently, the Wei government and the opposition were shaken, and immediately marched west from Chang'an with a large army and went straight to Longxi, while Zhuge Liang ordered Ma Tan to command the troops to stick to the street pavilion and block the Wei general Zhang He.

If Ma Jian succeeds in that battle, Zhuge Liang will have enough time to capture the entire Longxi counties, and even force Liangzhou to surrender.

As soon as Liangzhou in Longxi was obtained, Zhuge Liang would no longer have any worries, and he could use it as a base and take Guanzhong in the east.

If so, it is really not known who will belong to the third part of the world.

At that time, Zhuge Liang could see the importance of the street pavilion, and today's Cao Cao can naturally see it.

"Cao Cao must have wanted to defend the street pavilion for several months, and Liu Bei, who survived to the north, had some results, and our army was forced to retreat, so we must quickly take the street pavilion in this battle." Bai Qi arched his hand.

The potter nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Bai Qi, and shouted, "Where is Bai Qi." ”

"The minister is here." Bai Qi hurriedly got up.

The potter pulled out the arrow, threw it at Bai Qi, and said sharply: "I now appoint you as the former military governor, and lead an army of 70,000 to accelerate the westward advance, and you must take the street pavilion for me within ten days." ”

In the past, Bai Qi's soldiers surrounded the 400,000 Zhao army and finally forced it to surrender, which shows that Bai Qi is not only good at attacking, but also good at defending.

Now the Qin army is at a disadvantage, and the battle of Jieting will definitely be on the defensive, except for Bai Qi, the potter can't think of a second person who is more competent than him.

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will take down the street pavilion within ten days and open the door for His Majesty to enter Longxi from the west." Bai Qi was indignant and gave the order, and left with a murderous aura.

That night, Bai Qi, with the hope of the pottery merchants, led 70,000 Wei infantry elites, left Jingxian first, and went straight to the street pavilion.

……

West of the Street Pavilion.

On the flat official road, more than 10,000 Qin troops were speeding on the avenue, and the "Xiahou" battle flag was hunting and flying in the wind.

Looking back at the west, the sun had sunk in the west, and it was about to get dark, so Xiahoudun restrained his horse.

He stood proudly with his spear crossed, looking back at the procession passing by, his eyes slowly shot to the east again, and over the vast Longshan Mountain, he seemed to have seen that countless Wei troops were also running.

In Xiahoudun's one-eyed eye, the raging anger of revenge was gradually igniting.

In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the scene when the Wei army broke through Chang'an City, the scene of his bloody battle with Bai Qi, and the scene where he was blind and shot by Li Guang again.

All kinds of things, as if they happened yesterday, are vivid, and every time he thinks of it, he is furious and gritted his teeth with hatred.

The dignified general of Qin, if he couldn't defend Chang'an City, he was forced to that by two people who pretended to be ancients, how could Xiahoudun swallow this hatred.

Today, the leader of the army came to guard the pavilion, and Xiahoudun wanted to use a successful defensive battle to regain his prestige as the general of the Qin State.

Xiahoudun had a hunch that he was likely to fight Bai Qi again, and this time it would also be his revenge battle.

"Bai Qi, if you bump into it again this time, I, Xiahoudun, swear that I will break your body into ten thousand pieces, and use your blood to recast my Xiahoudun's prestige......"

Silently swearing in his heart, Xiahoudun whipped his horsewhip fiercely, and continued to rush towards the street pavilion under the bloody light of the remnant sun.
