April

The flowers are graceful and willow branches,

The mountains are stacked with green water,

Everywhere is impregnated.

April

Thoughts are like the wind,

The spring is passing by,

It was supposed to be a hundred flowers blooming,

It is a beautiful season for talented and beautiful people to enjoy the scenery in spring.

But at this very moment,

In Xuzhou, Han Dynasty,

In the same purple and red season,

Then there was a faint sadness.

I miss growing up in the spring of April,

Beating the heartache that recruits people can't get rid of.

An army of tens of thousands of people is gathering in the north of Xuzhou,

The two sides were:

'Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes' of the current dynasty Sikong Cao Cao Mengde,

When he was young, he was known for his bravery and fortitude.

Now he is a little dim and weak, Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian Tao Gongzu.

The reason for the war between the two sides is even more incredible,

It turned out to be when Cao Cao's father moved to his home,

Passing through Xuzhou,

Xuzhou Mu Taoqian sent his general Zhang Min to escort,

Originally, this was Tao Qian's gesture of goodwill to Cao Cao,

But to everyone's surprise,

That Zhang Min actually saw the idea of wealth,

After robbing the Cao family of countless treasures,

even brutally killed Cao Cao's father Cao Song and younger brother Cao De,

This immediately stabbed the hornet's nest,

Cao Cao immediately ordered his beloved son Cao Ang,

and Cao De's son and his nephew Cao Anmin as a pioneer,

Love will Xiahoudun as the main general,

led a mighty army to attack Xuzhou,

And also issued a brutal order to slaughter the city.

One side claims to be framed by a villain,

But the other side is full of grief and hatred and revenge,

As for the real reason,

At all, he is unwilling and disdainful to explore.

This big war began in March,

It's been April so far,

It's been a whole month,

The blood of countless recruits soaked this land,

There are also countless innocent people in the area,

can only sleep forever on the land of this homeland.

No matter how frightened the people of Xuzhou are,

No matter how weary and weary the soldiers on both sides are,

No matter how indignant the scholars of the world are and curse,

The war is still going on day by day,

The blood is also flowing,

The wails continued to reverberate.

Cao Cao's army began to win a big victory first,

occupied Pengcheng with lightning speed,

and more than a dozen county towns in Pengcheng country,

And then, for various reasons,

But it can only be inched.

Now after occupying the line of Yinping, Chengxian and Lanling in Donghai County,

Gradually moving north,

Eventually occupied half of Tokai County,

But to the east, it stopped at Tan County, the county seat of Donghai County,

Confronting Tao Qian's main army,

As for the northern side,

Tao Qian's army is mainly stationed in the army,

Langya County's Zhangguo and Jiqiu counties,

The three county towns formed a trend of cornering,

Cover each other and protect,

Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops could only stop outside the city.

In Cao Jun's Chinese army tent,

A burly warrior sits in the center,

The tiger's eyes stared intently at the left and right of the tent,

The general's face is resolute,

It was the general Xiahoudun who went on this expedition,

Xiahoudun in this life,

Due to the accidental crossing of this guy of Lu Bu,

and did not lose an eye,

Without the legend of the arrow,

But it did not diminish his prestige in the slightest.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is the best way to defeat the enemy?"

A deep voice echoed in the tent,

They have been here for too long,

Although the force is slightly superior to the other side,

But Tao Qian's army held the city,

And the three major cities are now in the corners,

It's not easy to break through.

Therefore, Xiahoudun is only now annoyed.

The face of the military general in the tent showed a sad look,

They also feel very aggrieved,

originally led a large army to crusade against Xuzhou,

Not to mention that it is easy to get,

But it won't be like this,

Tao Qian's quick response really surprised them,

It is worthy of being a fierce general who was once famous at home.

Just when the atmosphere in the tent fell silent,

A military general came out of the crowd,

Clasped his fists and saluted Xiahoudun on the main throne:

"General Yuanrang, the last general has a plan!"

Xiahoudun raised his head and looked at the person who spoke,

A pair of brows stretched slightly,

The serious expression on his face also softened,

The people who came out of the ranks were short and strong,

It is Lejin who was born in Yangping County,

is also a general that Cao Cao relies on,

In every battle, we must take the lead,

Not long ago, he led 10,000 horses to support.

When Xiahoudun saw this person talking,

At the moment, he twisted his body a little stiff, and said kindly:

"Wen Qian, please speak!"

Le Jin walked to the topographic map in the tent,

"General, please see, now our army is stationed in Xiangben with more than 30,000 main forces, General Li Dian has advanced to the front line of Lanling, General Xiahou Yuan has also gone south and is attacking Xiapi, and the opponent's main force of 30,000 troops is stationed in Tan County, and 15,000 people are also stationed in the city of Zhangguo, but only 5,000 people are stationed in Jiqiu, which is located at the back of the two cities.

Xiahou frowned slightly,

Lejin's analysis is very accurate,

But this analysis,

Long before the arrival of reinforcements led by Lejin,

He and his generals have repeatedly deduced,

But I couldn't find a flaw to cut into.

Sora knew the weakness of the other party, and could only sigh.

Le Jin didn't notice the change in Xiahoudun's expression,

Then he spoke:

"We only need to send a cavalry to break into the hinterland between the three cities, and quickly break through the hills, then the defense lines of the two places of Zhangguo and Tanxian are bound to become rootless duckweed, and they only need to besiege the city for half a decade, and the enemy city will be self-defeating."

Xiahoudun said in a deep voice:

"Wen Qian said, we have also deduced before. However, it is not easy to break into the hinterland between the three cities, and there is no suitable place to hide this strange army. ”

Le Jin smiled confidently when he heard this,

Stretch out your thick fingers,

Point to a location between the three cities,

Zhan Yan smiled:

"General Yuanrang, how is this place!"

Xiahou followed the prestige of the past,

Where Lejin is referring to,

It just so happens that the center of this triangle formed by the three county towns is located eastward,

There is no detailed terrain introduction here,

But the distance from the mound should be less than twenty miles,

If you march quickly,

Half a day can be reached at the foot of the city.

Xiahoudun looked at Le Jin suspiciously,

The latter explained aloud:

"This place is called Yanzi Mountain, it is only twelve or thirteen miles away from the county seat of Qiu, although it is not a famous mountain and river, but it is not a problem to hide three or five thousand people, the key is that the forest is luxuriant here, and now it is spring, and it is able to cover the traces of the troops. As long as the general gives the last general 2,000 men and horses, the last general will definitely sacrifice Qiu Cheng! ”

Xiahoudun's heart moved when he heard this,

But the brow is still furrowed,

He said in a deep voice:

"This is a wonderful plan, but now that the enemy army is holding on and scattering scouts all over the defensive line, how can your 2,000 men break through? If you can't get to this place in secret, wouldn't it be tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap? ”

Lejin's face is still confident,

patted his chest and said:

"Didn't the general forget the reinforcements I brought this time?"

Xiahou dun groaned slightly,

With a sparkle in his eyes, he asked:

"Qingzhou soldiers?"

Le Jin nodded:

"Yes, it is the Qingzhou soldiers, the previous general is responsible for training this army, many of them are from the two places of Jing and Xu, before coming here, I specially asked a lot of people, they know that there is a winding road between the mountains and forests, which can be passed, even if the Xuzhou army knows this road, it will not care, because that road is really difficult to walk, and it is not conducive to the passage of the army. However, if two or three thousand people secretly entered in batches, it would be fine, but the general would need to lead a large army to cover it. ”

Hearing this, Xiahoudun's brows suddenly relaxed,

For Lejin's words,

He didn't have the slightest doubt,

Lejin not only fought bravely,

On weekdays, he is a thoughtful guy,

Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have let him train his soldiers,

Since he was able to come up with this plan,

It must have been confirmed and deduced repeatedly,

Immediately stood up,

Xiahoudun slapped the table in front of him with his big hand,

Lang Sheng says:

"In this way, it will be up to General Lejin's plan!"

After a pause, Xiahoudun glanced around at the generals in the tent,

With a solemn expression, he said:

"The generals will obey!"

The generals in the tent stood together,

looked at Xiahoudun who was in the first place with a serious expression,

But everyone's eyes can't help but show excitement,

Finally, there was another battle.

"Lejin! Led 3,000 Qingzhou soldiers to secretly infiltrate Yanzi Mountain, I will give you four days to arrive at the predetermined place and rest on the spot, and five days later, I will hear the news that Qiu City has been destroyed! ”

Lejin hugged his fist excitedly,

shouted:

"The last general commands!"

Xiahoudun then turned his head to look at the young general on his left,

A hint of relief flashed in the depths of his eyes:

"Cao Ang listens to orders!"

Cao Cao's eldest son,

Cao Ang, who had high hopes, took a step side,

Standing in the middle of the tent,

"The last general!"

"I order you to lead 3,000 men and horses to forcibly break into the first-line defense line of Zhangguo and Tanxian early tomorrow morning, and sweep away the peripheral forces, you can act cheaply, but you must bring back most of the men and horses for me, remember to be impulsive!

Cao Ang's young man hurriedly flushed,

Excitedly replied in a loud voice:

"The last will be ordered!"

"Where is Cao Anmin!"

Another young general behind Cao Ang stood up,

Respectfully clasped his fists and saluted:

"The end will be here!"

"I order you to lead two thousand scouts, and from now on, give me all my strength to sweep away the scouts of the Xuzhou army, and make Tao Qian blind as much as possible!"

Cao Anmin calmly opened his mouth and promised:

"The last will be ordered!"

Xiahoudun looked around at the rest of the generals in the tent again:

"The rest of the generals, come with me to besiege the city!"

"Whoa!"

After all the people in the tent answered,

Suddenly there was a message outside the tent: "Report! ”

"Come in!"

Xiahoudun has not yet sat down,

replied casually.

As the words fell, a dusty scout walked into the tent,

In full view,

Xiang Xiahoudun knelt down on one knee and said:

"General Xiahou Dun! General Xiahou Yuan recently broke through Xiapi City! ”

Xiahoudun was stunned when he heard this,

Immediately, his eyes widened and he looked up to the sky and laughed:

"Hahaha, it's worthy of being a wonderful talent, he stormed Pi in three days, and he actually let this kid succeed!"

After a pause, Xiahoudun looked at the other generals who also had happy faces and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, Miaocai has already laid down the next Pi, and we need to work harder! Although he is my brother, we can't be ashamed, right! ”

"Hahaha! That's nature! ”

"The general is right!"

……

Xiahoudun told the scout to go down and rest,

Then another herald was called,

Inform Li Dian to put pressure on the country,

Cooperate with the action here.

Then, the entire Cao army camp was running in full force in a tense and orderly manner.

On the other side of Xuzhou,

There is a Haixi county.

Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms,

The world is divided into thirty-six counties,

And the first "Qu County",

The Shiguannan area is under the jurisdiction of Qu County,

It has successively belonged to Xue County and Tan County.

In the Qin Dynasty, due to the territory and the surrounding most of Guanyun and the northern area of Lianshui County,

Located on the west side of the East China Sea (now the Yellow Sea),

Therefore, its original regional name "East China Sea",

It was gradually replaced by the new name "Haixi" among the people.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered and established Haixi County in the third year (that is, in 90 BC).

At this time, it was Liu Bei and Liu Xuande who were stationed in Haixi County.

Today's Haixi County has a vast area,

But because of the war,

Many of the people who lived here migrated to the south,

And because today's shipping is not well developed,

and the existence of a great river in the south,

Yangzhou and other places south of the Yangtze River are in the midst of war.

So it's relatively barren here.

After Liu Bei came here,

Although I also want to vigorously develop people's livelihood,

But it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice,

does not have a large population base,

A lot of things are hard to do,

However, it is precisely because of the scarcity of the population,

made Liu Bei's covert actions,

It was carried out without knowing it.

Late this night, there was still a lone lamp lit in the study room in Liu Bei's mansion.

Two figures in the light,

Cast on top of the window paper.

Although Sima Fu's face was a little haggard,

But the expression was a little excited,

He said in as calm a tone as he could:

"Lord, Xiapi City has been broken by Xiahou Yuan, and now the entire Xiapi is in an emergency, and Cao Cao's army is pointing directly at Guangling County."

After Liu Bei heard this,

One hand suddenly clenched into a fist,

Hit the table hard,

I couldn't help but say:

"Beautiful!"

Listen to his tone,

Cao Cao broke through the city of Engong Taoqian,

On the contrary, it is a thing to celebrate.

Sima Fu went on to say:

"The reinforcements sent by the Cao army are divided into two routes, Xiahou Yuan is only one of them, and the other one is going to support Xiahou Yuan, presumably the war in the north will also take a turn for the better in the near future, and Tao Gong is afraid that it will ......."

The words fell softly,

Some unfinished tastes,

But there is a faint smile with deep meaning on the corner of his mouth.

Liu Bei also had a smile on his face when he heard this,

With a roll of his eyes, he asked:

"Shuda, then I followed your instructions and avoided Tao Qian's envoy before, how should I deal with it now? Do you want to continue to hide? ”

Sima Fu raised the teacup next to him and drank it all,

moistened my somewhat dry throat,

Only then did he slowly shake his head and said:

"My lord, if you continue to dodge at this time and that time, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating."

Liu Bei nodded and did not speak,

Sima Fu then spoke:

"But the lord doesn't need to be too active, Tao Gongzu has a request for us now."

Liu Bei rubbed his chin with one hand,

The smile deepened at the corner of his mouth.
