Man Zhong estimated that even if he arrived in Luoyang, he was afraid that it would have no effect.

At that moment, he hurriedly wrote a letter and asked Kuaima to send it to Cao Xiu, telling Cao Xiu about his worries.

Cao Xiu has also been fighting for many years, and if he can be a great Sima, a general should have the basic qualities, and he still has it.

After reading the letter from Manzhong, he first sent someone to guard Wuqiangkou, and then sent someone to investigate Wuqiangkou to confirm that there was no ambush in the trailer and Jiashi, so he was relieved to continue to move forward.

But soon, when he was about to reach Shiting, the sentry finally came with the news that the Wu army had a large army waiting in Anhui City.

This is a big surprise for Cao Xiu.

Left and right persuasion, "Wu Yu has been prepared, it seems that Zhou Yi must be a fraudulent surrender, and the general should not enter lightly." ”

It's just that Cao Xiu still had a fluke, so he asked Dong Cen and Shao Nan, who were close associates sent by Zhou Yi, to come forward and say, "I personally led the army into Anhui this time to meet General Zhou, but now there is an army of Wu Lu in Anhui City, why not?" ”

The two glanced at each other, only to see Dong Cen say respectfully, "Da Sima led the army of 100,000 tigers and wolves, and drove in, and those who heard it were frightened, and the news spread to the south, how could they not be vigilant?" ”

"Wu Yu is prepared, so what should I do?"

"Break it with a blow! And General Zhou was ready to act in Poyang, but once Da Sima fought in Anhui City, General Zhou would take the opportunity to attack him, and the achievement would be successful. ”

Cao Xiu was overjoyed, "Okay, then I will let you go back and inform that Zhou Yi that I will fight with that Wu Lu in Shiting in the future, so that he must not miss the appointment." ”

Immediately, he wrote a letter by hand, stamped it with the general's seal, and told Dong Cen to hand it over to Zhou Yi himself.

As soon as Dong Cen left, Shao Nan smiled and said to Cao Xiu, "Congratulations to Da Sima for his immortal achievements in the near future." ”

Cao Xiu was still smiling at Yan Yan, but at this time he suddenly became cold, only to hear him look at Shao Nan, and the anger in his eyes could not be hidden, "What does it have to do with you?" ”

Shao Nan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt bad in his heart.

I only heard Cao Xiu order, "Someone! Take down this Wu captive! ”

The cronies rushed up and tied Shao Nan tightly.

"What does Da Sima mean by this?"

Shao Nan shouted loudly.

I saw Cao Xiu above, who was angry, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you really deceiving me for ignorance? At this time, how can I not know that Zhou Yi is a deception? ”

You must know that the year before last, he also personally led his troops to break through Anhui City and killed the defender of Anhui City.

There, he led the army south, advancing and retreating freely, and Wu Yu didn't react at all.

How could it be like now, where a large army was waiting for the battle early?

So nine times out of ten, Zhou Yi is a fraud, even if it is not a fraud, then things have changed.

I saw him draw his sword and come out, pointing directly at Shao Nan, his eyes widened angrily, and he said hatefully, "I treat people with sincerity, but I didn't expect Wu Yu to be so cunning!" ”

When Shao Nan heard Cao Xiu's appearance, he thought that the matter of the fraudulent surrender had been revealed, so he immediately stood up straight, with a sneer on his face, "Soldier, treacherous." Cao Xiu is ignorant, but he blames others for deceiving you? Ridiculous, ridiculous! ”

As soon as Cao Xiu heard that the other party admitted his conjecture, his anger rose to the sky, and he wanted to stab him with a sword.

Shao Nan closed his eyes and waited for death.

The tip of the sword reached his chest, and he could only hear Cao Xiu ask, "You're not afraid of death?" ”

Shao Nan opened his eyes and smiled, "Since I arrived in Cao Ying, I didn't think I would get out alive." ”

"Good! Good! Cao Xiu laughed angrily and nodded again and again, "Then don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

"Cao thief, if you want to kill or chop, let you do it!"

Shao Nan looked calm.

"If I don't kill you, I won't kill you, I'm going to steam you!"

Cao Xiu smiled cruelly, "Come on, set up a kettle to boil water!" ”

After Shao Nan was pulled down to steam, someone persuaded Cao Xiu, "Since Da Sima knows that Wu Yu has surrendered, why don't you retreat?" ”

"Retreating at this time, Dawei has become the biggest joke in the world!" Cao Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "You must not retreat immediately!" ”

There was hatred in his eyes, "I have asked that Dong Cen to go and deliver a letter, saying that I will lead the troops to fight with Wu Lu in the future, and let him come to answer quickly." ”

Speaking of this, a gloomy smile appeared on his face, "When Wu Lu saw my letter, he must have thought that I had been tricked. Just wait for them to come and see how I break it! ”

The troops mobilized by the Great Wei this time, Yangzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou combined, there were 150,000 or 60,000.

The labor and mobilization of the people, the cost is very large, the Son of Heaven has high hopes, and even the land of Henan in the Great Wei Dynasty is disturbed by this.

never thought that in the end, it was just a conspiracy of Wu Yu.

This made Cao Xiu, who was bent on promoting this action, not only feel shameless, but even think of the ridicule he would face in the future.

This is one reason why the army cannot be easily withdrawn.

Another reason is that the sentinel in front of the investigation found that there were only 30,000 horses in Wancheng.

Although there were ambushes on both sides, they were only in the thousands. In this way, Wu Yu's strength in Anhui City is at most 40,000.

Cao Xiu relied on himself that there were more soldiers and horses than Eastern Wu, and they were all elite soldiers, plus he had repeatedly defeated the Wu army in the past, so he felt that the Wu soldiers were nothing but ears.

So knowing that Soochow was prepared in front of him, he still tried to fight with it.

He led the army to Shiting, first set up camp and prepared to meet the Wu soldiers, and at the same time sent the left and right armies to ambush on both flanks, just waiting for the Eastern Wu to hold on to or defeat the Wu soldiers, then he could cover the pursuit and kill.

On the other side, Dong Cen took Cao Xiu's letter and returned to Wancheng overnight to report to Zhou Yi.

As soon as the generals of Eastern Wu heard that Cao Xiu had arrived at this time, they still didn't know that they had been tricked, and they still dared to continue to lead the army, and they all laughed and ridiculed him.

Only after reading the letter, Lu Xun's brows furrowed, and only after a long time did he sigh, "Shao Nan's life is at rest!" ”

When Zhou Yi heard this, he chuckled in his heart, "Why did the Metropolitan Governor say this?" ”

Lu Xun slowly explained, "Cao Xiu followed Cao Cao to fight for many years in his early years, and he once defeated Wu Lan in Xia, retreated Zhang Fei in Wudu, fought in Dongpu, and defeated the late Sima Lu Ziheng. ”

"The year before last, Cao Rui first ascended the throne, and Cao Xiu led his troops to break through Anhui City and behead morality. So even if he is not a famous intelligent general, he is not an ordinary person, how can he believe General Zhou's surrender on the premise of knowing that there is a large army in Anhui City? ”

The generals listened to Lu Xun's words, and some people immediately understood, "What does the metropolitan governor mean, Cao Xiu is cheating?" ”

"Naturally, it is a deception." Lu Xun smiled indifferently, with a hint of relief on his face, "He has already led the army so far, I have always been afraid that he will turn back as soon as he finds out that he has been deceived." ”

I didn't expect him to be so confident that he dared to come when he knew it was a plan. This shows that our strategy of showing weakness to the enemy has been successful. ”

The Wu army in Anhui City was divided into three routes, Lu Xun personally led the army in the middle road, Zhu Huan was the left governor, and Quan Cong was the right governor, with 30,000 people on each road, a total of 90,000.

But in front of Cao Xiu, only Lu Xun's 30,000 Chinese troops and thousands of ambush soldiers were deliberately revealed, so Cao Xiu thought that he had a great advantage.

Just when Cao Xiu and Lu Xun were about to fight a decisive battle under the city of Anhui, Yuzhou assassinated Shi Jia Kui, ordered Manzhong to lead 10,000 people to attack Xiakou, and then personally led 6,000 men and horses to go south directly from Xiyang, taking a shortcut to attack Dongguan.

Just last year, Jia Kui wrote to Emperor Cao Rui of Wei, saying that Sun Quan had a large army stationed in Wuchang, Dongguan, and if it was Wu Yukoubian, it would always be from Xiakou in the west and Lujiang in the east.

And the country's conquest of Eastern Wu is also from Huaishui in the east and Shuishui in the west.

Yuzhou, which is located between the two places, is obviously facing Wuchang, an important town in Eastern Wu, but because it is blocked by mountains and the transportation is inconvenient, Sun Quan has never worried about the direction of Yuzhou.

On the contrary, he could easily concentrate his forces and rescue the eastern and western fronts from Dongguandi.

Therefore, Jia Kui suggested building a road to the river, so that the army could march from Yuzhou to attack Dongguan of Eastern Wu, directly threatening the heart and throat of Eastern Wu.

At that time, if Sun Quan defended Dongguan by himself, he could send another army to attack from the east and west, and Sun Quan's east and west lines would not be rescued.

If the east-west front can be captured, then Dongguan will become an isolated stronghold for east-west attacks, and it will be within reach.

If Dongguan is lost, Jiangdong will no longer be able to invade the Great Wei, so he can only wait for death.

Cao Rui appreciated this suggestion very much.

For more than a year, Jia Kui has been asking people to check the terrain south of Yuzhou, and at the same time requisitioning people to build roads.

Although the road from Yuzhou to Dongguan is not feasible for tens of thousands of troops, if there is no obstruction from Dongwu, five or six thousand people can barely pass.

Jia Kui attacked Dongguan Wuchang from Xiyang County, Yuzhou this time, and took the newly built road.

Dongguan, as he expected, was not heavily defended, so he easily led the army into the Wu realm, but he didn't look happy at all, but frowned.

"General Jia was taken by surprise and led the army to the city of Dongguan, why didn't he like it?"

Dongguan Taishou Hu asked.

Jia Kui sighed, pointed to the south and said, "Dongguan is an important town of Sun Quan, and there were large armies stationed in the past. Now in Dongguan, there are only soldiers defending the city, where is the rest of the army? ”

"Therefore, in my opinion, there is only one possibility, that is, Sun Quan has already transferred his army to Wancheng. Da Sima's lone army goes deep, and he will definitely be defeated. ”

When Hu Zhen heard this, he was taken aback, and said hurriedly, "If this is really the case, I am afraid that Da Sima is in danger." ”

Jia Kui looked to the south, where there was the city of Wuchang built by Sun Quan, and there must not be many troops in the city at this time.

If it can be captured, even if it can't be defended in the end, setting it on fire will definitely be a major blow to Sun Quan.

It's a pity that this city is strong, and I'm afraid that it will be difficult to capture these thousands of people.

Moreover, Cao Xiu in the east is in danger, and he can't afford to delay for a moment.

Therefore, Jia Kui decisively gave up the extremely tempting idea of capturing Wuchang, and ordered the soldiers to collect ships everywhere, advance by water, prepare the road, and rush to Anhui City to rescue Cao Xiu.

On the flat ground, the two armies collided violently, like two huge waves crashing against each other, stirring up a blood-red color.

Although they were of the same race, the hideous faces, the high-pitched howls, the bloody knives, swords, spears, and even the rudimentary bone weapons and even clubs showed that each side would put the other to death.

It's like a deep hatred that doesn't share the same sky, and if you don't kill each other, you won't give up.

This is a life-and-death battle without the slightest hesitation or mercy.

The entire battlefield was enveloped and annihilated by the tragic aura of this primitive fighting......

On a small hillside on the edge of this battlefield, Feng Yong sat on the mountain rock without any image, holding a packet of candied dried apricots in his hand, and sending them to his mouth one by one.

Occasionally, there was a "click", and it was he who bit the apricot core and looked for the almonds in it to eat.

Then there was a "plop" on the ground, and the finely broken apricot kernels were spit into the air.

The disappearance of life one by one at the bottom of the mountain did not seem to affect his appetite.

"There, right there, the commander of the Han people is there, quick, rush over, rush up!"

On the other side of the mountain, on the right flank of the battlefield, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared, and the leader of the Qianghu was shouting loudly, leading the warriors of the tribe towards the small hill that they wanted to tear apart.

"General, there is an enemy situation!"

Huo Yi, who was guarding Feng Yong's side, hurriedly pointed in the direction to the right and shouted.

"Yes, I know that the sound is striking the west." Feng Yong glanced at it and smiled, "This Qianghu in Longyou is more powerful than the Yiren in Nanzhong. ”

Sima Jufu, who was the captain of the Qiang Guard, had already begun to adjust the soldiers on the mountain.

Feng Yong's attention was once again on the frontal battlefield.

From here, you can clearly see that behind the military formation on your side, there is a phalanx, and the reflection of the weapons is particularly powerful, that is, the Modao team that became famous in the street pavilion.

Now they are sitting quietly in the back, watching the Qianghu in front of them fighting each other.

At the front of the battle line, there was a man who stood out, and even in the smoke and dust, he could be seen waving a long horse lance, and wherever he went, the enemy would automatically retreat, forming a no-man's circle.

Liu Hun only felt that his blood was boiling at this time, and he actually experienced a kind of crazy intoxication in the battle.

Everything rose and fluttered before his eyes, the heads of men flew, the horses fell to the ground with a clatter, and they were killed by men, and he could no longer even hear the screams of the slain.

The long lance picks and thorns with great agility......

This is a real high-grade horse lance, held by Liu Hun in his hand, he seems to hear the joy of the horse lance, as if the joy in his own body.

The front of the battlefield was in full swing, and the Qianghu cavalry on the right flank of the battlefield had begun to accelerate, and it seemed that they were preparing to rush up the hill.

This hill is not very high, so it can be said that it is very gentle, and in normal times, it is easy to get up on horseback.

But today, there are 500 Han soldiers guarding the hillside.

I saw that when the Qianghu cavalry that was preparing to sneak attack was still two hundred paces, a drum suddenly sounded on the slope, and Jufu shouted, "Release!" ”

The crossbow arrows flew like locusts, and they shot overwhelmingly from a high position, and the Qianghu cavalry who rushed to the front fell off their horses one after another.

Even those war horses were constantly screaming, kneeling on the ground, their huge bodies affected by inertia, rubbing against the ground, and rushing out for a distance.

"General, we can defeat them directly, why do we delay for so long?"

Huo Yi looked at the tragic battle situation below, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Huo Zheng, you grew up in the palace since you were a child, and some things you don't understand, that's normal. In this world, no one will cherish anything that is obtained for nothing. ”

"Longyou Qianghu, if you want to get benefits from the Han Dynasty, if you want to become the true people of the Han Dynasty, then you have to prove their loyalty to the Han Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Feng Yong pointed downward, "This is a way for them to show their loyalty. They are the people of the Han Dynasty, so they should fight bloodily for the Han Dynasty. ”

"What is exchanged for life and blood will make people feel that this is the most precious thing in the world, and it will make people desperately maintain this thing, which is human nature."

Ascend Mien, fight Mi Qiu, nothing more.

Being too kind to him and responding to requests will only make him feel taken for granted.

As long as there is a slight mistake, he will feel that he is being persecuted, and he will have a grudge in his heart, and he will take revenge, Feng Yong has seen too many of this kind of things.

The sneak attack of Qianghu rushed three times, but none of them could rush past the last fifty steps, and after leaving behind a large number of wounded and war horse corpses, they fled one after another.

Feng Yong spit out another apricot kernel and said disdainfully, "A bunch of waste! ”

Then he turned to Huo Yi and said, "Go, pass it to General Zhang, and say that I am hungry and ready to pack up and go back to the camp for dinner." ”

After a while, the sound of gold sounded below.

Liu Hun strode back to the rear camp, and on the side of the battle skirt, there were drops of blood condensing, "General Zhang, why Mingjin?" ”

"You have been fighting long enough, Feng Langjun has sent an order to us to fight quickly." Zhang Wei said, picked up the armor, and picked up the Mo knife, "Leave the rest to us." Rest for a while and prepare for the pursuit. ”

The Qianghu servants, who had been fighting for a day, began to spread out to both sides, revealing the middle position.

I saw a snow-white knife bush pushing forward in rhythm.

Although it was only moving slowly, the momentum was so impressive that it seemed as if they were going to crush everything that stood in their way.

After the First Battle of Jieting, the Modao team suffered heavy casualties.

However, thanks to the Nanxiang medical system, the mortality rate of the wounded has been greatly reduced compared to before.

Veterans who can return to the battlefield are the guarantee for the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Today's Modao team is no longer the team composed of most of the recruits a few months ago.

Thanks to Feng Yong's emphasis on the post-war summary, the Modao team has now become more calm and unstoppable from top to bottom.

If the battle of Zaijieting is repeated, the commander may just be more stable and will no longer be impetuous, but he is still a turtle who only holds a treasure telescope to look at the scenery, and he has no progress in commanding the military array.

As for the Modao team, if Zhang He really dared to personally lead the troops to attack, they were confident that they would split Zhang He into meat sauce on the spot.
