North of Yang's city, the camp of the Wei army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the evening of this day, a grand celebration feast was carried out happily in the camp.

The potter is naturally the only protagonist of this banquet, accepting the toasts of all civil and military forces in turn, and worshipping endlessly.

The reason is very simple, naturally the earthquake in the daytime, it is too shocking, and everyone firmly believes that it is another proof that the pottery merchant is a saint, the true dragon of Tiance, and the destiny of heaven.

In this celebration banquet, the potter drank until the middle of the night before he was happy, and he slept until dawn.

He was woken up by Zhang Yilai, who rushed over.

"King, there is news from Xizuo, last night, more than 70,000 Yan troops went to the empty building, and they retreated, and Wangyouzhou retreated."

The potter, who was still yawning on the couch, jumped to his feet and snatched the information.

Then, he smiled.

"Big-eared thief, it seems that this arrow is really not light on you, so you can only return in vain!"

The potter sneered and said happily: "The danger in the north has been solved, and now, it is time to quickly go south, relieve the siege of Jingzhou, and destroy the state of Wu." ”

On the same day, the Tao Shang issued an edict, ordering the three generals Meng Tian, Gao Shun and Li Guang, to command 50,000 soldiers and horses, and follow Liu Bei's defeated army, continue to go north and recover the northern Hebei counties.

The potter himself led an army of nearly 80,000 cavalry and hurried south to relieve the siege of Jingzhou.

In order to rush to Jingzhou before Cao Cao captured Wancheng, the pottery merchant called the infantry army to march backwards, and led more than 10,000 iron horsemen to gallop south under the stars and nights.

Iron riding like flying, in a few days, the potter crossed Hebei, passed through Yejing without entering, crossed the Yellow River into the boundary of Yanzhou, and galloped all the way to Nanyang County.

……

North of Wancheng, the Qin army camp.

In the king's tent, a small banquet was going on, and the atmosphere was quite lively and relaxed.

Cao Cao was sitting on it, admiring the light singing and dancing of those beauties in front of the tent.

"Ma Jun's wheel trebuchet is really amazing, it seems that it won't take seven or eight days to break through Wancheng." Drinking to the point of pleasure, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh.

In front of the tent, Guo Jia also smiled: "At this moment, the pottery thief is still fighting a decisive battle with Liu Bei in the north, the strength of the two sides is equal, but I am afraid that there is no one for a year and a half, and there is no way to tell the winner at all. ”

Cao Cao became more and more proud, and couldn't help laughing, drinking cup after cup.

When the atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant, a rush of footsteps sounded, but I saw a hurried in, it was Liu Ye.

This strategist who is in charge of Cao Cao's meticulous network, with such a dignified expression, seems to be quite incompatible with the light song and dance in this hall.

As soon as he entered the account, he stepped forward and arched his hand: "King Qiqi, the 100,000 urgent information just sent by Jizhou, the war between Wei and Yan has already been decided. ”

"So fast." Cao Cao was taken aback, and the wine glass was also suspended in the air, and he immediately waved back the dancing girls.

In the big tent, it immediately fell silent, and everyone's eyes were amazed, obviously none of them expected that this seemingly evenly matched and protracted war would end so quickly.

"It's over so soon, hasn't the pottery thief been able to withstand Liu Bei's iron horse?" Guo Jia immediately asked rhetorically, obviously in his subconscious, he thought that Liu Bei even had a few advantages in this battle.

Everyone also nodded slightly, thinking that the pottery thief might lose, but they didn't notice Liu Ye's serious expression.

Liu Ye sighed and said in a deep voice: "King, the defeated person is not a potter, but Liu Bei." ”

Liu Bei, defeated!?

In the big tent, there was an instant uproar, and everyone's expressions changed in shock, and they couldn't believe their ears.

"Liu Bei's 80,000 iron horses, how could he lose to the pottery thief, and he was defeated so quickly?" Cao Cao jumped up, his voice hoarse, and his old face was instantly filled with surprise.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bei was not defeated in strength, but in the will of heaven."

Liu Ye sighed, and then told the battle of the north of the Yang family, how the two armies suddenly had an earthquake and a deep ditch appeared in the ground before the confrontation, cutting off the Yan army, so that Liu Bei was defeated, was seriously injured, and almost died.

In the big tent, there was a monstrous uproar, and everyone's faces were surging with unprecedented surprise, and they were all shocked by the incredible outcome of the battle.

"Pottery thief...... And God's help? Unexpectedly...... It's the same as during the Battle of Guandu? Cao Cao muttered even more, his face also shrouded in shock and confusion.

In astonishment, his eyes couldn't help but look at Guo Jia on the side.

In front of the tent, this supreme ghost plot is also surprised and embarrassed at the moment, as if it is difficult to understand his own judgment mistakes.

After a long time, the big tent gradually quieted down, and Cao Cao and his important ministers had to accept this unbelievable fact.

The potter, Cao Cao's sworn enemy, took advantage of a miraculous earthquake to solve the threat from the north and turn the impossible into a possibility.

"I didn't expect it, the pottery thief's far-reaching spirit is so good, now that he has quickly broken Liu Bei, he will definitely go south quickly and come to relieve the siege of Jingzhou, we must rush before the pottery thief's soldiers and horses arrive, and take Wancheng!" Guo Jia said in a solemn tone.

As soon as the words fell, a scout rushed in and shouted in horror: "Your lord, forty miles northeast of Wancheng, a large number of Wei army iron horsemen have been found, and they are rushing towards Wancheng under the banner of the king of pottery merchants. ”

Boom, another thunderbolt, blasted into the tent, and the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State were shocked physically and mentally, and all of them flashed with horror on their faces.

Then, in the big tent, there was a deathly silence.

"How is it possible, how is this possible......" Cao Cao clenched his fists, the look of horror in his eyes burned, and he had an unwilling expression.

"King, the matter has come to this, the pottery thief is coming so fast, it is impossible for us to capture Wancheng, for today's plan, we can only withdraw the siege of Wancheng as soon as possible, retreat to Chang'an, head-to-head, I'm afraid we are not the opponent of the pottery thief."

Finally, Guo Jia sighed and broke the dead silence.

Cao Cao's monarchs and ministers were all silent.

After gritting his teeth for a long time, Cao Cao sighed, and said helplessly: "That's it, order the whole army, immediately pull out the camp, and withdraw to Wuguan before the pottery thief arrives." ”

That night, nearly 50,000 Qin troops hurriedly pulled out the camp and hurriedly retreated all the way to Wuguan.

Just now on the front foot of the Qin army, the pottery merchant led the iron cavalry to kill on the back foot, and joined Lian Poyang Youji.

At that moment, the pottery merchant left Yuji to continue to stay in Wancheng, with Lian Po and more than 10,000 iron cavalry troops, and immediately continued to go south, heading straight to Xiakou.

……

At the head of Xiakou City, Jiangxia was guarding Ganning, wearing heavy armor, holding a war knife, and his eyes were coldly scanning the outside of the city.

He's been here for almost a month.

50,000 Wu troops, 1,000 warships, under the command of Sun Ce, from Chaisang, traced the west to the west, all the way like a bamboo, along the river to belong to the Jiangxia counties all hope to fall in the wind.

The Wu army was menacing, and it took less than three days to kill under the city of Xiakou and surround this Jiangxia governance place into an iron bucket array.

Because Wu Zixu transferred part of Jingzhou's naval army to Xiangfan upstream to defend Jingzhou's administrative office, and part of it to Jiangling to resist the Shu army downstream, in Xiakou City, Ganning had no naval army available except for the 5,000 infantry army.

Wu Zixu set the task for Gan Ning, which was to nail the Wu army to Xiakou with 5,000 soldiers and horses, and consume the main force of the Wei army to help.

Therefore, Wu's soldiers entered Xiakou and almost encountered any resistance.

Surrounding the Xiakou soldiers, Sun Ce divided his army into two parts, one led by the veteran general Cheng Pu, and entered Hanjindu in the upper reaches of the Han River to block the Wei naval army in the upper reaches of the Han River.

The other was led by Han Dang and went to the line of Lushan west of Xiakou to guard against Wu Zixu in Jiangling, and suddenly led the naval army east to save Xiakou.

After completing all the deployments, Sun Ce surrounded Xiakou City into an iron bucket formation with an army of 40,000 and launched an attack day and night.

Tai Shici, Huang Gai, Ling Cao and his sons, Dong Xi, Zhou Tai, Pan Zhang, and the general Huang Zhong...... These strong generals of the Wu State all gathered under the city, commanded their respective tribes, and launched a crazy assault on Xiakou City.

And this time, because Zhou Yu went to Hefei to block Le Yi's army from Shouchun to the south, the whole battle was personally commanded by Sun Ce.

It's just that after nearly a month of siege, Sun Ce failed to send a Wu soldier to the head of Xiakou City.

Gan Ning is indeed too powerful, with only 5,000 lone troops, he stubbornly blocked the Wu army's wave after wave of fierce attacks, and kept Xiakou from losing.

Gan Ning's tenacity deeply stimulated Sun Ce and inspired his ambition, and after a three-day rest, he gathered all his forces and planned to carry out the most fierce attack on Xiakou.

Gan Ning raised his eyes to the south, and saw that in the south of the city, the Wu army had all left the camp and began to assemble at the city gate.

Under the blowing of the river wind, the dazzling military flag of the Wu army formed wave after wave of angry waves, and dense soldiers came overwhelmingly, like countless ants.

With a sweep of the eyes, the sharp edge of the spear and halberd pointing at the sky, like an endless forest, covered the sky, reflecting the faint and cold light, almost wanting to reflect the cold of the sky.

Looking further south, one after another trebuchets were being pushed out of the enemy village, slowly moving in the direction of Xiakou City, and the number reached as many as three or four hundred.

The Wu army is strong, and the soldiers of the Wei army who are fighting the left and right, under exhaustion, will inevitably have a little fear, and their expressions will change slightly.

The adjutant general beside him reminded: "General Xingba, the offensive of the Wu army is becoming more and more fierce, we have been holding on for a month, the brothers are really tired, is it time to send a request for help to the king." ”

"The king is fighting a decisive battle with the big-eared thief in Jizhou, at this time, how can we make trouble for the king!"

Gan Ning categorically denied it, but said proudly: "It's only been a month, with my Gan Xingba, even if it is another year, Wu Jun will not want to set foot in Xiakou for half a step!" ”

Gan Ning's words were full of disdain and domineering, as if he didn't take the mighty Wu army outside the city in his eyes at all.
