Chapter 271: Wen Ping steals Biyang
After Yuan Shu and Wang Kai fought once, Yuan Jun never left the city again.
When Wang Kai saw this, he was a little worried, because his great enemy Cao Cao didn't know where to go, and Wang Kai's immigration plan was only possible for Cao Cao to destroy.
A few days later, when Wang Kai learned that Cao's army was stationed at Sunset Gathering north of Wancheng, he was finally relieved.
At this time, Liu Biao in Xiangyang City came to Kuai Liang to discuss because he was worried about the situation in Cai Yang.
"Zirou, Liu Pan, they have been attacking Cai Yang for a month, but Cai Yang County is still firmly in the hands of Ji Ling, and it is not a way to go on like this! Xiangyang City will always be exposed to Yuan Jun. ”
"Lord, now Wang Zhenxi's soldiers and horses are stationed in Zhuyang County, and Wancheng in the north also has Cao Cao's garrison, plus Cai Yang's Ji Ling, our army's strength is really too scattered, which has led to the delay in recovering Cai Yang."
"Zirou, I have helped Cao Duowan to offend Wang Zhenxi, the soldiers and horses in Shandu County can't be moved lightly, and the garrisons of Xinye and Chaoyang have to defend against the enemy forces in Wancheng and Huyang, even if I want to join forces, it is a little difficult!"
"My lord, I'm afraid the only way to do this is to let General Huang Zu go north."
Liu Biao thought about it and vetoed: "I'm afraid it won't work!" Huang Zu also had to beware of the Yuan army in Runan and Lujiang, if Huang Zu was allowed to come to help, he was afraid that the entire Jingzhou would not be protected. ”
"My lord, the minister actually has a plan to retreat from the Yuan army."
"Zirou, let's listen to it!"
"Lord, the throat of Yuan's grain road is in Biyang County, and this Biyang County is connected to Xiangyang by Bishui, we can dispatch 20,000 sailors to attack Biyang from Bishui, so that Yuan's army will definitely return to Biyang if it is attacked."
Liu Biao was very happy after hearing this: "Zirou, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
Hearing this, Kuai Liang hurriedly replied: "My lord, although the minister's plan is feasible, there is a shortcoming. ”
"What are the drawbacks?"
"Biyang is the throat of Yuan's army, once our army sneaks up on Biyang, there is only one chance, in case it fails to attack Biyang, then Yuan's army is bound to attack the lord in a big way."
When he heard this, Liu Biao was also worried, because Liu Biao really didn't want to burn the flames of war to Xiangyang City.
Kuai Liang saw that Liu Biao hesitated, and he did not continue to speak.
After Liu Biao thought hard, he suddenly said: "Zirou, in your opinion, who can take on this heavy responsibility?" ”
"My lord, the sneak attack on Biyang is very important, and the minister thinks that only General Wenpin can take on this responsibility."
"Zhongye? But Zhongye is in Chaoyang County! ”
"My lord, Chaoyang and Xinye are closely connected, and after General Wen is transferred, the eldest prince Liu Qi can be stationed in Chaoyang."
Liu Biao thought about it and finally agreed.
Subsequently, Liu Biao sent people to Liu Qi and Wenpin respectively.
At the same time, Liu Biao also requisitioned 20,000 soldiers and horses from Jingnan.
After Liu Qi received Liu Biao's order, he immediately said goodbye to Liu Pan and Kuai Yue and went to Chaoyang County.
When Liu Qi was stationed in Chaoyang County, Wenpin also handed over Chaoyang Defense to Liu Qi.
Then, Wen Ping said goodbye to Liu Qi and went to Xiangyang.
When Wen Ping returned to Xiangyang, Liu Biao immediately summoned him and told Kuai Liang's strategy.
After listening to what Liu Biao said, Wen Ping immediately replied solemnly: "The last general will definitely live up to the trust of the lord!" ”
Subsequently, Liu Biao handed over the 20,000 soldiers and horses drawn from Jingnan to Yu Wen.
After Wen Ping led the army, he quickly took 20,000 sailors to the north by boat and killed him in Biyang County.
Three days later.
Wen Ping led 20,000 sailors to the vicinity of Biyang County and stopped.
Then, Wenpin sent scouts to investigate the situation at the south gate of Biyang County, because the south gate of Biyang County was a water gate, and Wenpin's naval army attacked from the water gate was obviously stronger than the other three gates.
After a few days of observation by the scouts of the Jingzhou Navy from the water to the vicinity of the south gate of Biyang County, they immediately sent the news back.
When Wen Ping learned that the garrison of the South Gate was very lax, he immediately thought to himself: 'Yuan Jun does not pay attention to the fact that the Water Gate will be their fatal death. ’
Immediately, Wen Ping immediately ordered the 20,000 Jingzhou naval troops to prepare for a night attack.
At the beginning of the child.
Wen Ping led the 20,000 sailors under his command to quietly touch Biyang County.
Because the defenders of the south gate were weak, the sailors under Wen Ping's command came to the south of the water gate in Biyang County very easily.
Immediately after, Wen Ping immediately asked his subordinates to start stealing the city.
As the Jingzhou navy ascended the tower, they quickly killed the sleeping Yuan soldiers.
After the Jingzhou Navy killed more than 200 people in a row, a startled Yuan soldier discovered the enemy attack and sent a signal.
When Lei Ji in the city heard the rapid alarm bell, he hurriedly sent someone to inquire about the situation.
When Lei Shu learned that the south gate had been taken by the Jingzhou naval army, he was also taken aback.
Immediately, Lei Shu quickly gathered more than 4,000 soldiers and horses under his command and rushed towards the south gate.
At this time, Wen Ping had already led 20,000 Jingzhou naval troops to kill in the city.
Soon, more than 4,000 soldiers under Lei Shu also collided head-on with the 20,000 sailors led by Wen Ping and fought.
After the two armies fought for a while, the Jingzhou naval army began to have an overall advantage, after all, there were only more than 4,000 soldiers under Lei Shu, and there were 20,000 Wenpin.
At this time, Yang Gang, the deputy general of Lei Shu, hurriedly said to Lei Shu: "General, let's withdraw quickly!" The soldiers are almost unbearable! ”
After hearing this, Lei Shu reluctantly gave the order to withdraw the army, after all, there were many soldiers in Jingzhou.
With Lei Shu's withdrawal order, the soldiers of Yuan were completely defeated, and Wen Ping also led the army to capture the prisoners when he saw this, because one more person he had more hope of holding on to Biyang County.
After a night of fierce fighting, Lei Shu fled from Biyang County with only more than 300 remnants, and the remaining soldiers and horses were either captured or killed.
After dawn, Wen Ping immediately ordered his soldiers to clean up the battlefield and settle the results.
When Wen Ping learned that they had captured more than 3,000 prisoners, he immediately scattered these captives and distributed them among the various troops.
Subsequently, Wen Ping also ordered the reinforcement of Biyang County.
Besides, after Lei Ji, who escaped from Biyang, fled north for two days, he finally came to the south gate of Wuyin County.
Because the south gate of Wuyin County was closed, Lei Shu suddenly shouted towards the city tower: "Open the city gate quickly, I am the guard of Biyang County, Lei Shu." ”
Hearing this, the soldiers of Yuan on the city tower immediately went to report to Le.
When Le learned that Lei Ji was outside the city, he hurriedly rushed to the south gate to check.
After Le confirmed the identity of the Lei Book, he immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.
As Lei Shu entered the city, Le hurriedly rushed to Lei Shu's side and asked, "General Lei, what's wrong with you?" ”
After hearing this, Lei Ji immediately replied: "General Le, something is wrong, the Jingzhou Navy has attacked Biyang, and Biyang County has been lost!" ”
Hearing this suddenly, Le was also shocked, because Biyang County was the throat of Yuan Jun's grain road.
Immediately, Le replied: "General Lei, what's going on?" Hurry up! ”
Lei Shu immediately told Le Juan about Wenpin's sneak attack on Biyang.
After hearing this, Le hurriedly sent a herald to Wancheng to report the news, because the situation of the loss of Biyang County was too serious, and the 100,000 Yuan troops who entered Nanyang would face the dilemma of having no food supply.
