Feng Yijun, Linjin City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the camp of the Qin army, in the imperial tent, Cao Cao was sitting on the dragon throne, reviewing the information that had just been delivered.

On November 8, 200,000 Wei troops crossed the Yellow River south.

On November 14, the potters led 70,000 pioneers to Luoyang.

On 17 November, the main force of the Wei army advanced to the city of Huangchi.

……

One after another, from the east, the battle reports about the most recent situation of the Wei army flew like snowflakes to Cao Cao's desk.

Although Cao Cao's army was stationed in Linjin City, and although it was only a hundred miles away from Pubanjin, he did not dare to use troops in Hedong County for a long time.

For no other reason, Cao Cao is still a little unconfident in Lejin and others on the front line of Hongnong.

After all, he had just been defeated by the potters in Hanzhong not long ago, and he had not completely come out of the shadow of defeat, so how could he not be a little jealous.

Linjin is also very close to Tongguan, once Hongnong has any accidents, he will draw troops south in time, change his strategy, and go to Tongguan to increase his defense.

"How's the direction of the pond, do they have the latest report?" Cao Cao asked.

Liu Ye hurriedly arched his hand and said with a smile: "General Le, they just sent a message, saying that two days ago, the pottery thieves had led 200,000 troops to Huangchi, but they did not dare to attack the city for the time being, thinking that they were afraid of the solidity of Huangchi, General Le asked His Majesty to put 100,000 hearts, and he guaranteed it with his head, and he would make Huangchi not lose." ”

"Very well, it's good that they have this confidence." Cao Cao nodded, but said: "But you have to remind them that they are only allowed to stick to the city, no matter what means the potter's kid uses, they must not go to war, once they fight, they will definitely fall into that kid's tricks." ”

"Yes." Liu Ye responded with a smile, but said confidently: "The terrain around Huangchi is narrow, which is not conducive to the development of the army of pottery thieves, and Huangchi is strong, Wu has Lejin, Wen has Cheng Yu, and there are 20,000 elite soldiers, and the grain and grass are also sufficient, which can stop the pottery thieves for about five months." ”

Cao Cao nodded slightly, the expression on his scorched face was much more relaxed, but he asked again: "Yan Yan, how are they collecting the raft, are they ready to cross the river and land in the east of the river, and cooperate with me to attack Yingbu in the southwest?" ”

Liu Ye arched his hand in front of the tent and said: "Your Majesty, General Yan has already collected enough rafts to prepare to cross the river in a big way, but he has just sent a report claiming that there is a Wei army sailor on the Yellow River. ”

"The water army of the pottery thief appeared on the Yellow River?"

Cao Cao's expression moved, he quickly stood up, walked to the map to take a closer look, and after a while, a sneer swept up on his face, "This kid of the potter is really very treacherous, he saw that my Huangchi is indestructible, so he whimsically pulled the water army to the Yellow River, and wanted to bypass the Huangchi and attack Shaanxi County directly from the river, which is also a clever plan." ”

Liu Ye echoed and smiled: "It's a pity, the potter is still too self-righteous, he pulled the navy to the Yellow River, of course, it was a whimsical strategy, but it's a pity that he forgot, the coastal line is the eyes and ears of our army, and his huge fleet entered the Yellow River, how could we not notice it." ”

At this time, Fa Zheng reminded: "Although we already know the tricks of the pottery thief, we still can't ignore it, so as not to have any accidents." ”

Liu Ye said disapprovingly: "Xiaozhi, you are too worried, the mountains on both sides of the ferry in Shaanxi County are rising, and the position of the ferry is between a narrow mouth, as long as our army sends enough soldiers and horses to hold the ferry, even if the Wei army has 100,000 sailors, it will definitely land." ”

"That's what I said, but filial piety is reasonable, we must not underestimate the boy of the pottery thief, otherwise we will definitely suffer a big loss, this is the bloody lesson we have learned from fighting with that kid over the years!"

Cao Cao couldn't see contempt on his face, and said with a straight face: "Quickly send an order to Yan Yan, so that he can concentrate his elite troops to garrison the ferry on the south bank, and he must not let a single soldier of the Wei army go ashore." ”

Liu Ye got the order, and even if he went to give the order.

Seeing the messenger leave with the holy decree, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and sneered: "Potter, I have suffered so much from you over the years, and now I have finally seen through you, I see what tricks you can play this time!" ”

……

Hongnong County, Shaanxi County.

On the north floor of the city, Yan Yan, a veteran who was patrolling himself, received an urgent warning document from Le Jin from Huangchi City.

In the document, Le Jin said that the pottery merchant army appeared in the Yellow River, probably trying to bypass Huangchi City, attack Shaanxi County from the waterway, cut off the connection between Huangchi and Guanzhong, and turn them into a lonely city, so he must be careful.

"This Le Wenqian also underestimated the old man, the old man has seen so much in Shuzhong, what he is best at is guarding the customs, do you need him to remind him." Yan Yan smiled disdainfully, handed the Chinese book in his hand, and casually handed it to the deputy general Yang Qiu.

At this moment, messengers rushed from the west, carrying Cao Cao's holy decree, and hurriedly ascended to the top of the city.

This time, Yan Yan didn't dare not pay attention to it, and was busy with Yang Qiu and other generals, kneeling to receive the holy decree.

After receiving the holy decree, Yan Yan smiled.

Cao Cao's holy decree is exactly the same as the content of Le Jin, which is nothing more than a warning to Yan Yan that the Wei army is very likely to attack Shaanxi County from the waterway, so that he must gather heavy troops on the front line of the ferry and not let the Wei army land.

"It seems that I haven't been a newcomer for a long time, and Your Majesty doesn't know my Yan Yan's strength, just right, I just rely on this battle to prove my Yan Yan's strength to Your Majesty......"

Yan Yan secretly made up his mind in his heart, and immediately ordered Yang Qiu, the deputy general, to lead 800 soldiers and horses to guard Shaanxi County, and he himself personally led more than 9,000 main troops to Dutou a few miles north of the city to garrison.

The army went out of the city, and before dark, Yan Yan led the army to the crossing of the Yellow River.

Standing on the beach, Yan Yan immediately looked at the surging Yellow River, the flame of revenge flowed in his eyebrows, and he said with hatred in his mouth: "Pottery thief, pottery thief, the old man swore to avenge the king of Shu, if you have the courage, let your navy come to attack, this time, I just use the blood of your Wei soldiers to comfort the spirit of the king of Shu in the sky!" ”

……

South of Shaanxi County, Bears Ears Mountains.

Between the mountains, a small river meanders and flows in front of dense primeval forest.

Next to the river beach, a tired procession of thousands of people is moving along the riverbank, in the rugged mountains and forests.

Among the sergeants, the young military general was silently moving forward, raising his head from time to time and glancing at the sun in the sky.

Although his face was covered with beads of sweat, he was still gloomy as iron, and his whole body exuded a cold and murderous aura, which made the soldiers on the left and right shudder, and subconsciously left him three or five steps away, not daring to get too close.

After several more miles, the young general ordered the army to halt its advance for a while, and the soldiers were all slumped on the ground, and many threw themselves into the river, desperately pouring water into their mouths.

The young general also came to the river, stretched out his hand and threw a few mouthfuls of water into his mouth, exhaled a long breath, took out the map from his backpack, called the sergeant guides from the hunters, and interrogated them about the next route of the march.

Starting from Ye County, they have been walking in the mountains for seven days, and the 6,000 elite soldiers have crossed the most difficult section of the Bears Ears Mountain, and then they can go less than 100 miles through the primeval forest of the Bears Ears Mountain and enter the Hongnong realm.

If the route is correct, when they walk out of the mountain pass, they will face the county town of Shaanxi due north.

After confirming the direction, the young general, without the slightest hesitation, ordered the sergeants to set off again and continue their tired march north.

Unconsciously that the night was approaching, the young military general still did not have the intention of stopping, urging the soldiers to crawl with difficulty on the gravel and dry grass path.

In order to move forward lightly, a few days ago, the young military general had ordered all equipment to be thrown away, even the armor, and only the most basic weapons and a few days' rations were thrown away in order to make the fastest march.

At present, they have been in the mountains for several days, and if they do not get out for another two days, the 6,000-strong team will be trapped in the Bears Ears Mountain, waiting to starve to death.

Therefore, the young military general was in a race against life, and did not dare to have a trace of respite, although it was already night, he asked the soldiers to light torches and continue to move forward in the dark.

Two days later, the dry food was officially exhausted, but the mountain road ahead was getting wider and smoother.

The young military general has a hunch that the exit is not far away, and if he persists a little longer, he will be able to see hope.

Sure enough, in the early afternoon, the team that had been advancing suddenly stopped moving forward and was congested on the mountain road.

An inexplicable excitement suddenly surged in the young general's heart, and he immediately separated the crowd and rushed to the front of the team in one breath.

In front of me, suddenly it suddenly became clear.

The bloodshot eyes of the young military general instantly burst out with a wildness that had never been seen before.

In the field of vision, the mountains and forests have been exhausted, the mountains have been exhausted, and an obvious path extends down the hillside, and the plains have been seen in full view.

And at the end of the plain, faintly, it seems that a city is visible, looming.

The Orion soldiers who followed him excitedly pointed to the city and shouted: "General, we have come out, that is Shaanxi County, we have come out!" ”

"Are you sure?" The young general, however, remained a little calm.

"The little one dares to use the head guarantee on the item, and the little one came to Shaanxi County once two years ago, it must be right." The Orion soldier patted his chest in protection.

There was no doubt on the young general's face, and a hint of relief could not help but appear in the murderous eyes.

Looking at the looming Shaanxi County, he suddenly burst out laughing and shouted excitedly: "Come out, I finally came out in vain, God help me, hahaha-"
