Chapter 851: Confrontation across the river

The state army was stationed on the north bank of the Yellow River, with a battalion of ten miles, waving flags and rumbling war drums, even across the Yellow River, the momentum could still be vaguely seen.

He not only asked Bingzhou to have an aggressive momentum, but also prepared warships in a big way, and made all preparations for crossing the river.

Even if it is a bluff, it must be done in a good way, only in this way can Sima Jun be confused and make them mistakenly think that the Bingzhou army will soon cross the river to attack Luoyang.

Sure enough, Sima Zhao was like a great enemy, in order to ensure the safety of the Yellow River, Sima Zhao personally went to the Mengjin ferry and commanded Sima Jun to strictly defend and never let the Bingzhou army cross the Yellow River.

The Yellow River is the biggest barrier in Luoyang, the imperial court of the past dynasties built the capital here, is to value the mountains and rivers in Luoyang, Luoyang is surrounded by mountains, there are dangers related to the pass guard, the north has the Yellow River natural danger as a barrier, this natural geographical superiority, for Luoyang to add multiple protection, so that the court can sit back and relax.

Sima Zhao was ordered by Sima Yi to guard Luoyang, which would never allow Luoyang to be lost, so he was particularly concerned about the defense of Luoyang, when the news of the loss of Hanoi came, Sima Zhao was like a great enemy, and handed over the affairs of the Luoyang court to Gao Rou and Wang Su to deal with, and he personally led the army to the Mengjin ferry to block the crossing of the river by the state army.

Before leaving, Wang Su said to Sima Zhao: "Yuan Ji has been trapped in the enemy camp for more than a year, and there is no news, and I don't know what her situation is, whether she is still alive?" Zishang, you have the opportunity to contact the Bingzhou Army this time, it is best to find out her news, if possible, you must save her back, even if our Wang family is exhausted. ”

Wang Su is a special love for this daughter, when Wang Yuanji fell into the hands of the enemy in Hanoi, Wang Su was so anxious that he almost fainted, this year, he missed his daughter all the time, just because of the isolation of Guanshan, the news was isolated, Wang Su didn't even know the life or death of his daughter, so he was heartbroken.

Wang Su hopes that after Sima Zhao arrives at the front line, he can find ways to inquire about Wang Yuanji's news, as long as Wang Yuanji is still alive, Wang Su is willing to redeem her at all costs.

When Sima Zhao heard this, he immediately said solemnly: "Father-in-law, what are these words, Yuan Ji is the wife of the son-in-law and the daughter-in-law of the Sima family, and it is the duty of the Sima family to rescue her back, even if it is a big price." Father-in-law, don't worry, Cao Liang's kidnapping of Yuan Ji is nothing more than an attempt to blackmail, as long as it is within my ability, I must save her back! ”

Of course, Sima Zhao will not be indifferent to the kidnapping of his wife, although without Wang Yuanji, there will be no shortage of women around Sima Zhao, but Wang Yuanji is the wife he is marrying after all, and Wang Yuanji is very virtuous, and the relationship between their husband and wife is also very good, so for more than a year, Sima Zhao has tried every means to send people to Bingzhou to spy and want to get news of Wang Yuanji.

But unfortunately, I don't know where Cao Liang secretly detained Wang Yuanji, and the people sent by Sima Zhao inquired in many ways, but they didn't find out Wang Yuanji's whereabouts.

In fact, Sima Zhao is extremely tormented in his heart, Wang Yuanji is as beautiful as a flower and has an outstanding appearance, while Cao Liang is a well-known womanizer, Wang Yuanji's fall into his hands is like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and there is almost no possibility of survival.

Even if Wang Yuanji is welcomed, I am afraid that it will be a broken flower, which can't help but make Sima Zhao entangled, no matter what, he can't escape this green hat.

Originally, Sima Jun's three major crossings of the Yellow River were heavily defended, but Sima Zhao could not rest assured, so he personally led a large army to reinforce the Yellow River defense line to ensure that nothing went wrong.

After arriving in Mengjin, Sima Zhao saw the momentum of the army on the other side of the river, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, when Cao Liang escaped from Luoyang, he was like a lost dog, but he didn't expect that he could have such a huge army in just two years, if Cao Liang was given more time, I am afraid that the development of his power would be more terrifying, it seems that Sima Liang should have made a move on Cao Liang, otherwise it will be a big tail in the future.

Hanoi was the first line of defense against Cao Liang, but I didn't expect Chen Tai to be so uncompromising, and was beaten by Cao Liang, in just two days, almost the entire territory of Hanoi was lost, and the defeat was called neat, if Luoyang did not have such a Yellow River defense line, I am afraid that Cao Liang would have been in the city at this moment.

I'm afraid it won't be possible to recover Hanoi Sima Zhao, but he doesn't have any problem holding the Yellow River defense line, and now his father Sima Yi is fighting in Huainan, so he can't be distracted.

Sima Zhao did not stop, and after arranging the defense of Mengjin, he personally visited Xiaopingjin and Wushejin, and personally arranged the defense along the entire Yellow River.

After the deployment, Sima Zhao was more relieved, no matter how strong the Bingzhou army was, this Yellow River moat was enough for him Cao Liang to drink a pot, if he didn't come to attack, if he dared to attack, this Yellow River was his burial place.

For Cao Liang, he did not have Huai Bei to forcibly cross the Yellow River, not to mention that the south bank of the Yellow River gathered Sima Army's heavy defensive troops, even if the Yellow River defense line was ordinary, Cao Liang could not rush to cross, after all, the rear is not stable now, Cao Liang stayed in Hanoi, and could return to the state at any time, but if he forcibly crossed the river to attack Luoyang, the battle line would be too long, and strategically speaking, this would obviously not work.

At present, the Bingzhou army does not have the conditions to capture Luoyang, so Cao Liang and even Chen Tai of Huai County have completely cleaned up, because if Luoyang is not attacked, it will be meaningless to attack Huai County, and it will only increase casualties.

Cao Liang will not joke with the lives of soldiers to attack a hard bone, what the state army needs to do now is to wave the flag and shout, make a big noise, and put on a posture to cross the river, as long as he can attract Sima Yi's men and horses to come back to help, then his goal of encircling Wei to save Zhao will be achieved.

It's just that Sima Yi's old fox is probably unwilling to give in easily, if he doesn't withdraw his troops back to Luoyang, Cao Liang really can't do anything about him.

At this moment, a small boat suddenly sailed over the Yellow River, reaching the ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River, and the state army aimed it with bows and arrows, but the people on the boat suddenly showed a white flag.
