It rained lightly in the early morning in Luoyang, and Cao Pi stayed awake all night.

Zhang Liao was defeated too quickly, and he was not ready for Luoyang when he was almost there.

Can you complain about Zhang Liao's ineffective fighting?

can't complain, Zhang Liao has done his best, shot Yu Shifang, the son of Yu Flip, who came with an apricot yellow flag, in public, and put the Han army prisoners on the city...... There is also a follow-up design Tian Xin tried to ambush him, and all kinds of outrageous behaviors were no longer tolerated by the Han army.

Zhang Liao's loyalty is unquestionable, and Zhang Liao's ability is unquestionable.

But it was still defeated, and although the former army cluster was not wiped out, it also existed in name only.

Zhang Liao's defeat was not unjust, Tian Xin and Ma Chao were able to pursue and launch a counteroffensive after being attacked at night, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei personally led the army to take the ancient crow road and go out of Luyang Pass, completing the disintegration of Zhang Liao's defense line one after another.

Not to mention Zhang Liao, even Cao Cao personally commanded in Ye County, and he couldn't withstand the onslaught and assault of Tian Xin and Guan Yu.

And now Zheng Hun, Sun Deng and nearly 10,000 officials are trapped in Kunyang City, and they urgently need rescue without delay, otherwise they will fall due to lack of food and no aid, which will have a bad impact.

In the end, can Zheng Hun and Sun Deng be saved...... This does not need to be discussed.

Rescue is to be saved, and the key is how to rescue.

The difference between Dong Zhao and Jiang Ji, who were the counselors of the military aircraft around them, was whether to organize a rescue immediately, or to make preparations in all aspects, mobilize the surrounding forces to attract the main force of the Han army, and force the Han army to be unable to attack the city.

In particular, Tian Xin's subordinates should be prevented from joining the siege sequence.

Dong Zhao believed that Kunyang City could hold out for at least five to seven days, during which time the various units of the Wei army and the Wu army could make corresponding preparations to oppress the Han army from three sides and create a breakthrough opportunity for the Kunyang defenders.

But when the army is mobilized and leaves the camp to move towards the Han army, it is very likely to get out of control and break out in a decisive battle in advance.

Cao Pi hesitated, and when he was strolling, he saw Liu Ye taking turns to work for Dong Zhao, so he asked: "Qing has always been resourceful and decisive, maybe teach me to solve the siege of Kunyang?" ”

Liu Ye was flipping through the minutes of the meeting in the night, bowed his head slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should first send Xiao cavalry, send arrow books to Kunyang, and make an appointment with the officials in the city to guard Kunyang for ten days. If there is no rescue after ten days, the Kunyang defenders are allowed to surrender to the enemy, so that they do not ask about the crimes of the officials, nor about the families of the criminals, this move can stimulate the hearts of the officials to defend to the death, unite as one, and the enemy army will not dare to attack. ”

"Well, it works."

Cao Pi raised his hand and pinched the slightly upturned horns of his little beard, and asked again, "What about after that?" ”

Liu Ye looked down at the file in his hand: "After that, it will move according to the time of day, and the opportunity will be taken, and the inorganic will be the main guard." ”

"Qiulin cut off the grain road and returned home, our army got the help of the Marquis of Yanling, and all the troops attacked with all their might, and the big victory will overthrow the army and kill the generals, and a small victory can also inspire the government and the people."

"Break the enemy in one battle, so that the thief army will face the country squarely and not violate the border for several years."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of speculation and discussion documents on Wu Jun's actions, and handed them to Cao Pi with both hands: "Your Majesty, if Qiulin cuts off the enemy's food route, you should be wary of Wu Jun." ”

Sambatu circulated in the Three Kingdoms, like the Mandate of Heaven and Sun Quan's program of action.

If the Mandate of Heaven is in Wei, there is a chance to inflict heavy damage on the Han army in Wankou...... Then the Wu army will definitely make trouble, pull a Wei army from behind, and drag the big victory that can hit the Han army into a small victory.

The autumn rain has risen, and there is no short-term saying that it can be stopped, which is natural common sense, and this has been the case for many years.

It will definitely be able to prevent Liu Bei's reinforcements, but it is difficult to predict the impact of autumn rain and flash floods on the Han army's grain route.

In the Wankou area, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Tian Xin combined were only 100,000 people, less than 40,000 soldiers, and less than 10,000 horsemen.

After Cao Xiu contained the defeated army of Yan Pu, he joined Pei Qian's department, which had an army of 70,000; The front of the Wu army, Pan Jun, had 60,000 soldiers; Xiahou Shang and Su had 50,000 soldiers; Cao Ren and Zhao Yan together also have nearly 30,000 people, and Cao Hong also has more than 30,000 people.

In the vicinity of Wankou, there were more than 200,000 Wei-Wu coalition troops, 60,000 armor soldiers, and more than 20,000 knights.

Cao Zhang and Zhang He's two legions will definitely participate in the battle, this is more than 40,000 elite soldiers, among these more than 40,000 elite soldiers, there are 10,000 knights, 20,000 armor soldiers, and the rest are also medium infantry.

In terms of armored strength, the coalition army was twice as large as the Han army; Cavalry strength, the coalition army was three times larger than the Han army.

The coalition forces have ample light infantry, which is a reserve.

lost the first battle, but the result was acceptable, which was better than Zhang Liao's rebellion.

Fortunately, Zhang Liao served the country loyally, and his front army cluster collapsed and disappeared under the watchful eyes of Cao Xiu, Xiahou Shang, Cao Hong, and Cao Ren.

Zhang Liao was originally a big gamble, and if he won the bet, he was Guan Yu of Dawei, but he lost the bet.

If you are willing to gamble, you will admit defeat, and the department did not achieve the predetermined goal, so it collapsed and collapsed under the destruction of the Han army's offensive.

This is actually not bad news, Cao Pi has been mentally prepared, and everyone has relevant psychological preparations.

It's just that some are unwilling, as strong as Zhang Liao was defeated by the Han army, who would dare to collide with the Han army alone?

The invincible arrogance of the Han army has not been extinguished, how can Cao Pi be willing?

In Ye County, the rain obscured his vision, and Dianman shivered barefoot in the mud, and followed the military officials into the warm tent.

There was a leak in the big tent, and a copper basin was placed under the leak, and the sound of dripping was continuous.

The fire pond was excavated in the tent, and Deng Ai sat on a bamboo and wooden bench to look through the bamboo slips, which were all discarded bamboo slips that had been inspected by the enemy and the enemy, and he was responsible for destroying them.

When the pawn was full, he immediately noticed the mirror armor standing on the edge of the big tent, and here Tian Xin was applying vermilion lacquer to the mirror armor.

The silver-white mirror armor polished like a mirror is too conspicuous, and it is difficult to explain the strange phenomenon of self-repair.

Do you want to explain to everyone and popularize the memory of metal?

Feeling that it was a little difficult to explain, Tian Xin had to make a layer of vermilion paint on the mirror armor to cover up the cracks that should have existed but repaired themselves.

Tian Xin continued to paint while wearing a mask, and looked back at Dianman: "Feel free to sit, don't worry, I'm not trying to persuade you to surrender, I don't want to kill you, I just want to ask something." ”

The dark circles under his eyes are thick, and he hasn't slept since the night attack, and his eyes still can't see clearly, and there is a hazy feeling when he sees everything.

Seeing that there was an empty bamboo and wood stool next to Deng Ai, Dianman moved his frozen legs to the edge of the fire, slowly sat down, and reached out to take a bamboo slip from the bamboo basket, and used the bamboo slip to scrape the calf, foot surface, and mud between the toes, which shows that he is a person who loves cleanliness.

It seems that I have heard such a sentence somewhere, saying that people who love cleanliness are more afraid of death.

Tian Xin felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, and said it as if people who like dirt are not afraid of death and regard death as home.

But it's normal now, and everyone loves to be clean nowadays.

Not long after Dian Man sat down, a scribe brought a cup of freshly brewed hot tea, and Dian Man caught it with both hands and thanked him, before squinting at Tian Xin: "I am the general of the defeated army, I don't ask about the foreign affairs of the camp on weekdays, and I know the military situation is limited, so I am afraid that I will not be able to satisfy my feet." ”

"I don't ask you about the military, I just ask three things."

Tian Xin stopped what he was doing, wiped his hands and walked to the firepit, smoothed his sleeves, and sat opposite Dianman: "The first is the arrangement of the hidden military caves around Yexian, and I suspect that Le Jin's son Le Qi is hiding somewhere. Second, I also suspect that there are tunnels around Ye County, do you know? ”

Dian Man shook his head: "The authentic thing is unheard of, only a few hidden military caves are known, and it is not uncommon to know about this matter by interrogating the military officials." But now they came to me for the sake of authenticity. ”

"Yes, I will also dig tunnels to connect the Tibetan caves with tunnels for the purpose of hiding soldiers and transporting troops."

Tian Xin also reached out to catch a cup of hot tea and took a sip to nourish his body and mind: "When I clashed with Xiahou Boren and Cao Wenlie last year, I deliberately excavated tunnels for the purpose of transferring troops and transporting grain. What I can think of, Zhang Wenyuan can naturally think of. ”

Unlike Nanyang and Nanjun, the water comes out when a deep pit is dug in the south, and there is no condition for long-distance tunnel operation.

Dian Man also took a sip of tea and savored the taste: "What is the third thing?" ”

"It's a matter of Wen Ze, I heard the army say that Yu Wen Ze rebelled, and he was afraid of crime and took poison to die?"

Tian Xin said and frowned: "Our army failed to rebel against Wen Ze, how can we talk about his rebellion?" ”

Dianman drank tea in silence and did not answer a word.

"Hehe, Yu Wen was the same at that time, since he entered my military barracks, he didn't say a word."

Tian Xin took a piece of bread and handed it to Dianman, and said: "There is a lesson from Yu Wenze's previous experience, after the rain stops, this prisoner of war will be transferred to Nanyang to coordinate water control." If you want to be fed and clothed, I will make you a governor of a hundred. ”

Dianman hesitated for a moment, caught the cake with both hands, and showed a wry smile: "Thank you for your care, but I really don't know where the authentic is." However, as measured by the foot, it is indeed authentic. ”

Tian Xin bowed slightly, and looked sideways at the guards who came to see the pawn: "Take my nail-toothed wooden shoes." ”
