Chapter 243: A New Situation

As one of the supreme military commanders of the Cao army, Cao Zhen can even be said to be the only general who can compete with Cao Ren, a veteran of the Cao family, and he carries not only the victory of a war, but also all the expectations that Cao Pi has for him.

After Cao Zhen rushed into the camp, he ignored the Jiangdong soldiers who rushed over everywhere, and he didn't care about the Jiangdong commander, the target of his trip, Sun Sheng, the general of the Jiangdong clan.

Cao Zhen firmly guarded this part of his place, like a nail, firmly fixed here, blocking countless attacks for the Cao army behind.

"Kill!"

"A certain Cao Zhen, you and other rats, dare to be the enemy of my Cao family!"

One roar after another, one roar after another, made Cao Zhen's momentum continue to rise, and at the same time, the Cao army behind him also began to rush in continuously.

"The Jiangdong camp has been breached!" Cao Jun roared, and then the camp of Sun Shengjun in Jiangdong was lifted up by the soldiers, and then countless Cao soldiers rushed in.

Seeing Cao Jun rushing in, Jiangdong's soldiers were also a little frightened, they were not those elites who had followed many Jiangdong generals to fight for so many years, they were all those soldiers who were temporarily recruited by Sun Sheng.

It can even be said that not long ago, they were just a group of tuntian soldiers, and it can even be said that not long ago, they were just a group of farmers who were still farming, how could such a group of people face these wolf-like Cao soldiers.

"Stop them!" Compared with those guys who have already messed up, Sun Sheng, the guard of this big battalion, really lives up to the name of his Sun family's clan.

Sun Sheng still did not run away when he was obviously unable to return to the sky, but rushed directly towards Cao Zhen, wanting to fight Cao Zhen to the death.

Looking at Sun Sheng, who rushed over but was out of order, Cao Zhen's face showed a cruel smile, and he split his big knife with a knife, and then kicked him back with a kick.

It's not that Cao Zhen doesn't want to kill him, for the people of Jiangdong, Cao Zhen only feels that he hasn't killed enough, but this is not enough, because Cao Zhen is here today, not just because of a small Sun Sheng and his big battalion.

Cao Zhen's attack on Sun Sheng was just to use his clan as bait.

If there is not enough return, where will Cao Zhen risk being attacked from front to back and bring his army here, once Zhu Ran knows that Cao Zhen is here, I am afraid that his Cao Zhen's life will really be explained here.

Sun Sheng looked at Cao Zhen, who was playing with himself, and his face became more and more angry.

"A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated!" Sun Sheng roared angrily at Cao Zhen, "You are also Cao Wei's general, how can you insult me like this!" ”

"Mouthy!" Cao Zhen just showed a smile to Sun Sheng, who kept shouting, and then commanded his soldiers to constantly surround and kill the surrounding Jiangdong soldiers, and for Sun Sheng, Cao Zhen himself dragged him by his side.

Neither kill him, nor let him cause any trouble for his soldiers.

Soon, the noise of the Jiangdong camp spread, although Cao Zhen continued to besiege and kill the Jiangdong soldiers, but for those Jiangdong soldiers who were bent on escaping, he did not pursue them too much, but intentionally or unintentionally let them escape.

This scene was seen in Sun Sheng's eyes, although he didn't understand it too well, but he felt that he might have become something bad.

"General Cao!" Sun Sheng didn't care what this guy was going to do, but he had to stop him, "Cao will die!" ”

With a loud roar, he boosted his morale, and then Sun Sheng rushed towards Cao Zhen again, hoping that his bloody courage could cause any damage to Cao Zhen.

Only this time, he was disappointed.

Until the end, Sun Sheng, who was exhausted, couldn't even stand steadily, so he could only rely on his big knife and stand tremblingly in front of Cao Zhen.

At this time, although the shouting and killing around have not stopped, it is much quieter.

"Cao Zhen!" Sun Sheng's lips were already chapped, and his eyes were still that anxious, "What do you want to do, what do you want to do!" ”

Cao Zhen looked at Sun Sheng, who was a little miserable, but the smile on his face was getting bigger and bigger.

"Almost, it should have arrived!" Just as Cao Zhen spoke, Sun Sheng, who was already exhausted, suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing in the distance....

Sun Sheng is just inexperienced, but he is not stupid, in other words, in a sense, he is still very smart, otherwise how could a thief be transferred by Sun Quan to such an important place as Jiangling.

Originally, Sun Quan put him in the middle of Jiangling, and Zhuge Jin watched behind him, with Zhu Ran in front of him, Pan Zhang in the back, and Jiangdong warriors in the north and south, it can be said that this is very safe, unless he Cao Jun really doesn't want to live, otherwise where dare to be presumptuous here in Laita.

But don't say that Sun Quan didn't expect it, maybe everyone didn't expect that Cao Zhen really didn't want to live.

Regardless of Zhu Ran at the front, regardless of Pan Zhang behind him, and no matter that the Jiangdong army was in all directions, he just took the elite soldiers under his command and appeared directly in front of Sun Sheng.

And now ....

"You want to use a certain family to lure Zhuge Jin here!" Sun Sheng looked at the guy in front of him with a surprised face, and he only felt that his heart was trembling.

"Since you Jiangdong want to guard this Jiangling as a big battalion, then I, Cao Zhen, don't mind directly overturning your Chinese army tent for him first!" Cao Zhen didn't hide Sun Sheng's meaning at this time, just now he had seen the signal of the scout, and Zhuge Jin appeared.

"Kill!" Cao Zhen roared, then strode out, and the war knife in his hand slashed directly at Sun Sheng's neck.

"Poof!" Sun Sheng tried very hard to resist, but in front of Cao Zhen, he was still beheaded without suspense.

Looking at Sun Sheng's head that had fallen to the ground, Cao Zhen's face showed a cruel smile, before Dai Jun arrived at the West Road battlefield, he had asked Cao Pi a few questions.

"Your Majesty, it is not the most appropriate reality for us to fight Jiangdong now, I don't know if Your Majesty has other plans!"

"Yes!"

"What should I pay attention to about that Zi Dan?"

"The Sun family has stopped his father and won Liu Xuande before, before my plan succeeds, I will be afraid of Jiangdong first, I don't want him Sun Quan to just bow down and become emperor!"

"Does Zidan need to keep his hand?" This is what Cao Zhen cares about, after all, listen to Cao Pi's meaning, this Wu country's subordinate country, they Cao Wei still have to ask for it.

"I just said that let them have a long memory, they must know that it hurts!"

"Zidan understands!"

Other people may come here for various purposes, some want to be promoted and make a fortune, some want to make contributions, and some want revenge, but Cao Zhen came here for one thing, kill the Jiangdong dog thieves and let them have a long memory!

"Soldiers!" After killing Sun Sheng, Cao Zhen looked up to the sky and roared, "Kill the Jiangdong dog thief and kill the enemy!" Fight the enemy! ”

With a loud roar, Cao Jun's morale was once again three points higher, and the speed of killing the enemy was also three points faster!

Although Zhuge Jin was already very fast, he rushed out with a large army as soon as he got the news.

He didn't know how the so-called Cao Zhen suddenly appeared from here, but he knew that Sun Sheng couldn't just die!

"Quick! Faster! Zhuge Jin had already heard the shouting and killing sound not far away, and the sound was getting quieter and quieter!

"Have the people sent to inform General Pan Zhang and General Zhu Ran have set off?" Zhuge Jin is not a fool, he knows that Cao Zhen's appearance here is definitely not a rare simplicity for Sun Sheng!

But in the same way, in Zhuge Jin's opinion, since he Cao Zhen appeared here, there is no need for him to let go of such a big fish!

Attacking from three sides, he directly took down this general of the Shangjun who had just ascended to the throne of the Cao family!

Zhuge Jin thought about all kinds of things in his heart, and then rushed towards Sun Sheng's camp like crazy.

It's a pity that when he rushed to Sun Shenghou's camp, he was not facing a chaotic battlefield, but the general of Cao Wei's army, Cao Zhen Cao Zidan, who was already in battle!

"Koto dog thief!" After Cao Zhen saw Zhuge Jin appear in front of him, he showed a cruel smile, "Kill me, kill all these Jiangdong dog thieves!" ”

Cao Zhen saw Zhuge Jin's arrival, and without any hesitation, he directly led the army to charge towards Zhuge Jin!

Seeing this, Zhuge Jin's eyes couldn't help but shrink suddenly!

"That's not right!" As the Taishou of Nanjun and a very important advisor in Jiangdong, he naturally felt that something was wrong at this time.

"Cao Zhen is too calm!" It was too dark, and he didn't really see Cao Zhen's subordinates, but this didn't prevent one thing, that is, he could feel that Cao Zhen was stable!

This kind of stability does not mean how calm he is, or how old and spicy he is with his soldiers!

And his heart is very stable, so stable that it seems that he is not surrounded by the depths, but simply wants to have a fair battle with him here!

"The scouts who went to contact General Pan Zhang and General Zhu Ran are back!" Zhuge Jin fought with Cao Zhen on the side of the wisdom army.

While slowly shrinking his soldiers, he tried his best to hold Cao Zhen and the army under his command.

"Your Excellency!" Just as Zhuge Jin was fighting and retreating, a soldier covered in scars appeared beside him.

"My lord, Zhongzhou is lost!" The soldier who was covered in embarrassment almost let the sword in Zhuge Jin's hand drop with the first sentence!

"How is that possible!" Zhuge Jin couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe that the Zhongzhou he was stationed in was gone!

"No more!" The soldier suddenly burst into tears, "There is Cao Jun in the rout army that fled back before, and they are all hiding in the shadows, and when the adults are far away, they will kill us!"

They are all Cao Jun's pawns, and they kill people like hemp one by one, as if they are crazy! ”

Listening to these words, Zhuge Jin only felt that his whole body trembled a little.

"Cao Jun... How could there be Cao Jun... There shouldn't be Cao Jun again! Zhuge Jin didn't seem to be able to believe it.

But this is no longer the time to discuss it.

"All soldiers, fight and retreat!" Zhuge Jin knew that once Zhongzhou was taken by Cao Zhen, what about the others for the time being, he was not able to turn the tables!

Zhongzhou Dock Fort, that is where Jiangdong wasted a lot of effort to get it down, in order to build the dock fort, he Zhuge Jin almost forced the people of Nanjun to rebel!

But now this dock fort is gone!

The most important thing is that once this dock fort is gone, then the connection between Gangneung and the reinforcements will really be broken!

Pan Zhang, Yang Cang and others have already come to the rear of Nanjun, and it would have been a situation of encirclement, but Wubao is gone, and they are broken!

"Damn it!" Zhuge Jin really wants to know now, where did the guy come out of the dock fort left by his army at this time, could it be that Xiahou, the deputy commander of Cao Wei's Western Route Army, is not successful?

Just when Zhuge Jin was suspicious, a shout of killing came from his side again.

"Zhuge Jin is leaving, Xiahou is still here!" Xiahou Shang, who was dressed in a drape, held the sharp spear in his hand, and then rushed towards Zhuge Jin's army.

At this time, Zhuge Jin saw this scene, his legs were frightened and trembled, I don't know where this guy came from, the most special thing is that if this guy ambushes his army here, who is the person who took the Zhongzhou Dock Fort.

But Zhuge Jin really can't care about this matter at this time, no matter who it is, his task at this time is one thing, run, crazy escape.

"Withdraw! Get out! Zhuge Jin was attacked from both sides, if he persisted at this time, I am afraid that he would also follow in Sun Sheng's footsteps.

Zhuge Jin fled and fled with the army, and Cao Zhen and Xiahou Shang also joined forces and followed and killed, but they didn't chase and kill too much, and after seeing that Zhuge Jin had fled in embarrassment, they gave up.

Because they have more important things to do at this time.

Zhongzhou Dock Fort has indeed hung a big Cao character banner at this time, and the outside of Zhongzhou Dock Fort at this time is also surrounded by a large army.

When Sun Sheng was attacked, Zhuge Jin had already sent scout spies to inform Pan Zhang, Zhu Ran, Yang Cang and others that they would attack from all sides and bury Cao Zhen, the general of Cao Wei's army, here.

It's just that now, Zhongzhou Wubao has fallen into the hands of Cao Jun, they are surrounded on all sides, and they are directly contained in two ways, Zhuge Jin was directly attacked by Cao Zhen and Xiahou Shang, and now the only one who can do it should be Zhu Ran in Jiangling City.

It's a pity that after listening to what the scout spies said, Zhu Ran directly locked all the four city gates and blocked them.

Perhaps in Zhuge Jin's view, this is a four-sided attack, and in the eyes of Pan Zhang and Yang Cang, this is a godsend, but in Zhu Ran's view, this is a simple trick to lure the snake out of the hole.

"A certain Pan Zhang, who is in the city, come out to talk!" Compared with Zhuge Jin and Yang Cang, Pan Zhang, like Zhu Ran, is not unable to see this, but the embarrassing thing is that he can see it and do it!

As for why .... Sun Sheng is a member of the Sun family, and he Pan Zhang is a descendant of Sun Quan.

Now Pan Zhang just wants to know if they have the possibility of winning and turning the tables.

"Squeak~" With a piercing sound, the gate of the Dock Fort was opened in Pan Zhang's shout.

A cavalryman slowly appeared in the eyes of Pan Zhang and the others.

Pan Zhang is a brave general in Jiangdong, and when he saw such a group of cavalry appearing, he naturally wouldn't admit it, but when he just wanted to ask again, he was frightened by the scene he saw in front of him.

I saw that the leader slowly rode his horse forward two steps, then raised the spear in his hand high, and then waved it violently towards the Jiangdong army, and roared in his mouth, "Charge!" ”

The cavalry burst out, and their banners emerged from the darkness of the city gates.

By the bright moonlight, many Jiangdong soldiers and generals saw clearly, that is, a big flag with the word "Zhang" written on it.

This time, among Cao Wei's army on the West Road, there is only one person who can play such a big banner, or the word "Zhang", that is Cao Wei's five good generals, the former general Zhang He!

"Kill!" Zhang He's face under the armor was all solemn, and with a loud roar, he rushed directly into the Jiangdong army with his subordinates, and as for himself, he rushed towards Pan Zhang.

Where can Pan Zhang not know that he has been tricked at this time!

Cao Wei's Western Route Army did have tens of thousands of people, but the generals were nothing more than four people.

Commander, Cao Zhen, the general of Cao Wei's army, Xiahou Shang, the deputy general, Zhang He, the former general, and Xu Huang, the right general!

Now that Cao is really attacking Sun Sheng, and has even broken Sun Sheng, and Zhang He has appeared here, then it is conceivable how miserable the scene is now for Zhuge Jin, the Taishou of Nanjun who was once stationed in Wubao.

"Cao Jun is treacherous!" So far, Pan Zhang can only say this, and in his heart, he silently hopes that Zhuge Jin, the Taishou of Nanjun, can come out or out, after all, he is also a major minister in Jiangdong.

"Kill!" Cao Jun's iron cavalry used extremely fast speed to crush the formation of the Jiangdong army, and Zhang He personally rushed in front of Pan Zhang, and only a few moves picked the worried Pan Zhang's helmet.

Pan Zhang, who was already upset, was even more embarrassed at this time.

"Withdraw!" grabbed Yang Cang, who wanted to help in the battle, and then beckoned many generals to retreat directly with the army, Pan Zhang had already seen it at this time, and they had no hope of turning the tables again.

Although it is not a long journey, but in this kind of terrain, this kind of place, they and others have just come here, and the cavalry of the Cao army can tear up their formation effortlessly, and while their rear army is still complete, retreat now, at least be able to retain their strength!

When Yang Cang and the others saw this scene, they also knew that they were powerless, so they sighed directly and then retreated with Pan Zhang.

But they wanted to leave, but Zhang He didn't need to let them go, this time he didn't hesitate to charge with the cavalry himself, where could he let them go so easily.

"Kill!" Zhang He roared, Cao Wei's cavalry, who had just broken through the enemy formation, turned their horse's head again, and then rushed towards the Jiangdong infantry led by Pan Zhang and others.

Pan Zhang looked at the Cao Wei cavalry who were like maggots on tarsal bones, and his face suddenly became very ugly, he was now all his cronies, and he really didn't want to leave his cronies behind like this.

At this time, Cao Jun's attitude is very clear, either you choose to abandon some people and abandon the car to protect the handsome, or you live and die together!

"Pan Ping!"

"General Pan Zhang!"

Just when Pan Zhang was about to leave his own son behind, a loud roar came from him.

"If there is no one to break the queen, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave, you guys go quickly, the end will be broken!" It was a young man who spoke, and there were traces on his immature face when he burned Liu Xuande's camp not long ago.

"You..." Pan Zhang knew him, and it was because he knew him that he was very hesitant.

The boy's name is Jiang Yi, and he is the eldest son of Jiang Qin, the first general who resisted Cao Wei, and he has just married Jiang Yi in Xuancheng!

This time, Jiang Yi took his father's soldiers and horses, and then appeared here, just to be able to accumulate more military exploits, and at the same time to make his family live better, after all, in the battle of Yiling not long ago, Jiang Yi also had some credits.

"You've got it all figured out!" At this time, Pan Zhang was tantamount to being the commander of the army this time, looking at the guy in front of him, his mouth suddenly became a little dry.

"General go!" Jiang Yi grinned, then pushed him away, and directly turned his gaze to the guys who rushed over, and turned to the elite cavalry led by Zhang He.

"Jiujiang Army!" Jiang Yi roared, their family was born in Jiujiang, and Jiang Yi, who followed his father to fight since he was a child, is also a famous major general in this army, "Meet the enemy with a certain one!" ”

Under Jiang Yi's roar, the army moved slowly, except for Jiangdong County, which had been following Pan Zhang's continuous retreat, there was such a group of people, silent and fierce, and then followed Jiang Yi, slowly standing at the back of the army.

"Huh?" Zhang He, who was constantly charging and fighting, saw Jiang Yi and them, and looked at this group of Jiangdong soldiers who dared to line up at such a time, Zhang He knew that this was an outcast.

"Assemble!" With these abandoned sons blocking him, Zhang He didn't expect to be able to hunt down Pan Zhang and the others again, but killing them would be able to make Jiangdong's flesh hurt for a while.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the soldiers who were defeated in Jiangdong were quickly killed, and then the cavalry of the Cao army quickly assembled, gathered behind Zhang He, and the Jiujiang army under Jiang Yi's command, looking at each other from a distance.

"The army .... Charge! With a loud roar, Zhang He began to charge, and then in the dark night, it seemed that countless cavalry rushed in front of Jiang Yi.

"Jiujiang Army!" Looking at Cao Jun who rushed in front of him, Jiang Yi also yelled, "Fight to the death!" ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The two sides of the horses exchanged hands like this, and the cavalry, relying on their speed and the strength of their horses, rushed into the camp of the Jiujiang Army as soon as possible, and quickly launched a charge.

And the Jiujiang Army under Jiang Yi is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated, at the moment when the Cao Army rushed in, the soldiers of the Jiujiang Army directly gave up all the images and launched their counter-charge as soon as possible.

This is when Jiang Qin and Cao Jun fought many times, Jiangdong lacked war horses and cavalry, and every time he faced Zhang Liao, he was beaten by those cavalry under his command like the third grandson!

And because of these cavalry under Zhang Liao's command, he could keep harassing the cavalry to the front line of the cave, which once made the entire Jiangdong Weisu and even the coast of the cave become noisy and unpeaceful.

In the end, Jiang Qin and his Jiujiang army came up with such a way, since they could not resist the cavalry of the Cao army, then they would find a way to drag the cavalry of the Cao army and then die with them.

Counter-charge, that's the way.

When the cavalry of the Cao army launched a charge, they rushed towards them as soon as possible, and by their inability to turn dexterously, they were suppressed before their momentum and speed were at their best.

In this way, although they will still suffer heavy losses, it is much better than being beaten by Cao Jun and being powerless.

As for the losses, or as for those sacrifices, in the eyes of the Jiujiang Army, there is no sacrifice that cannot be done, as long as it is worth it!

"Charge!" Jiang Yi's yell, that's worth it!

"Poof!" Zhang He directly picked up a Jiujiang sergeant who rushed towards him, and then looked at the sergeant who was still rushing over like crazy, and couldn't help sneering.

"This group.... Idiot! "Zhang He and Zhang Liao are both one of the five good generals, although they are not guarding the same place all the year round, it does not mean that there is no communication between them, and this tactic of their Jiujiang Army is not the first of its kind, let alone a secret.

"Disperse, shoot!" After Zhang He saw this group of people charging, he just took his subordinates to launch a charge at the same time, with a wave of his hand, the rear team directly retreated to the periphery, and started another tactic, which originally belonged to Youzhou, the ranger scattering.

Zhang Liao is a native of Bingzhou, and the tactics of the wolf cavalry in Bingzhou are simple slamming and rushing, not afraid of death, when he was under the command of the general He Jin, he also accepted this tactic of the Northern Army.

But Zhang He is different, he has been messing around in Youzhou all the year round, and he is more familiar with Youzhou's tactics, scattering and wandering, which is the signboard of the Youzhou cavalry, how could he not be Zhang He.

"Jiangdong dog thief, don't you think that all the cavalry in the world are the same?" After a cruel laugh, Zhang He directly picked up a few guys in front of him, and then took out his treasure carving bow and delicate arrows from his back, and bent the bow and arrow towards Jiang Yi from afar.

Looking at the Jiangdong soldiers who kept rushing over, Zhang He showed a smile on his face, and then under the gaze of the Jiangdong soldiers and Jiang Yi himself, he flew out with an arrow!

Jiang Yi saw that Zhang He dared to look down on himself like this, just in front of everyone, such an ordinary arrow was shot, it was really annoying!

"Cao Gou, who are you looking down on!" Jiang Yi, who was angry, pulled out the long knife on his waist, and then smashed the flying arrow with one sword, and then Jiang Yi heard an exclamation.

"Major General, be careful!"

"Poof~" Jiang Yi, who hadn't figured out what was going on, felt a pain in his neck, and then an arrow seemed to suddenly appear in front of him, piercing straight into his neck.

"Fool, who told you that a bow and arrow can only shoot one, haven't you heard of a continuous arrow?" With a sneer on his face, Zhang He put the big bow back, and then picked up his blade again.

Towards the Jiujiang soldiers who were looking at their major general in a daze, "Charge, kill them!" ”

"Kill!"

Another charge, without Jiang Yi's command, the Jiujiang army, which was shocked by Zhang He's bow and arrows, no longer had the kind of consciousness just now, and was divided by the cavalry under Zhang He's command one by one and killed in turn.

When Zhang He returned to Zhongzhou Wubao, the scouts sent by Cao Zhen had already arrived.

"General Qiqi!" When the scout saw Zhang He, who was covered in blood, he was a little excited at first, and then he chuckled and said, "The general of the Shangjun has an order, ordering General Zhang He to block most of the Cao army again, and not let Zhuge Jin, Pan Zhang and others support Zhu Ran!" ”

"Tell the general of the army, the last general understands!" At this time, Zhang He was already somewhat convinced by Cao Zhen.

Many people think that Cao Pi's expedition to Eastern Wu this time is a bit cronyistic, those veterans are all pressed by some Cao clan relatives, Cao Ren in the middle may be fine, but Cao Xiu of the East Route Army and Cao Zhen and Xiahou Shang of the West Route Army are real juniors.

Especially in the Eastern Route Army, the contradictions between Cao Xiu and Zang Ba have reached Cao Pi's ears, and even here in Cao Pi, both of them did not hesitate to write and say bad things about each other.

Therefore, in the Western Route Army, many people are also worried about whether the same junior leaders will have the same problem, after all, Zhang He and Xu Huang are two real five good generals, and they are still a little different from those in Zang Ba, and their status, in some cases, is even higher, not to mention, even their ability is not bad.

Whether Cao Zhen and Xiahou Shang can suppress the two of them is a question.

But this time everyone was wrong, because Cao Zhen was different from others, Cao Zhen, like everyone else, was by Cao Cao's side when he was in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he fought the world with him.

Cao Zhen is not only a veteran, but also a fierce general, when he was in Hanzhong, he was already the commander of the first army, and in the Xiliang land, he directly overturned the entire Hexi Corridor.

Therefore, for Zhang He and others, although Xiahou Shang is already forty-one years old, he is a junior after all, but Cao Zhen is different, this is a real old man.

is still a prestigious old commander, if Cao Xiu is a disciple of the great general Xiahoudun, then Cao Zhen is the personal disciple of Taizu Cao Cao!

In this battle against Jiangdong, the second thing Cao Pi did when he came to Wancheng in person was to give Cao Zhen's name, Cao Ren was already old, and whether he could play well on the battlefield in the middle this time was not very important to Cao Pi.

After all, it is an important town in Jiangdong, where Jiangdong has appeared for too long, too long, there are various dock forts and fences they built there, it is not easy to break through, so Cao Pi appeared in Wancheng, in the final analysis, that is, to let Cao Zhen replace Cao Ren and become the first general of the Cao family, the supreme commander of all the armies of his Wei State!

And Zhang He is the first person Cao Zhen needs to subdue, and now judging from Zhang He's actions, Cao Zhen is still doing very well.

At this time, Cao Zhen cleaned up Sun Sheng and his army in the first battle, and then fought with Xiahou Shang and the soldiers, and attacked Zhuge Jin back and forth, forcing him to flee in embarrassment, and only fled back from the small road with a small army.

After that, Zhang He, the former general of Cao Wei, sent troops in Zhuge Jin, and directly raided Zhongzhou Dock Fort, blocking all the reinforcements in Jiangling outside Zhongzhou Dock Fort!

When the Zhongzhou Dock Fort was first built, one was to use the reinforcements as a support and transit place, and more importantly, in case Jiangling missed, the Zhongzhou Dock Fort could be blocked for the second time, so that the entire Nanjun would not fall all at once.

After all, as soon as Nanjun was lost, the entire four counties of Jingnan were exposed to Cao Jun's troops, plus the Jiangxia land that was already in the hands of Cao Jun, and the entire Jiangdong was suppressed by Cao Pi at this time.

This is what Sun Quan fears the most.

But everyone didn't expect that in a big battle of nearly 200,000 people on both sides, Cao Zhen would dare to directly empty his rear completely, and lead a large army to bypass Jiangling County and go straight to the place of Zhongzhou Wubao, and directly cut Nanjun in two.

Then Jiangdong and even Zhu Ran were embarrassed.

Now Zhu Ran is stationed in Jiangling City, in front of the imposing Xu Huang Xu Gongming, on both sides are Cao Zhen and Xiahou Shang, the two commanders of Cao Wei's army, as for the behind, Zhang He personally sat in the Zhongzhou Wubao of Nanjun, even if he wanted to break through, he didn't dare to go.

In desperation, he could only choose to defend to the death, the real death.

Pan Zhang, Yang Cang, Zhuge Jin and others, after retreating to the rear of Nanjun, saw this lineup of Cao Jun, and they also figured out where they had a problem, and everyone underestimated the new commander of Cao Jun too much.

Cao Zhen, the general of the army, is really worthy of his name as a famous general.

As the price of underestimating Cao Zhen, Jiang Qin's eldest son, Jiang Yi, directly died on the battlefield with the Jiujiang army under his command, and there was no Jiujiang elite in Jiangdong from then on.

As for Gangneung, whether it can be defended or not, it is still between the two.

"Report!" Just when a few people didn't know what to do, a scout rushed over again with a terrible scream, making their already bad mood even worse again.

"What's wrong again!" When Pan Zhang heard this voice, he felt his heart twitch.

"I'll find out that there is Cao Jun building a pontoon bridge on that hundred miles of continent!" The scout said this indifferently, and then Pan Zhang felt that his scalp began to tingle.

"How could they go to Bailizhou!" Zhuge Jin already felt a little cold at this time, and said loudly towards Pan Zhang, "Bailizhou is an important place in Nanjun, I can't wait, if a pontoon bridge is built on Bailizhou, then the Cao army can besiege Zhu Ran without any scruples, and I will go to save him!" ”

At this time, Yang Cang also arched his hand and said, "The reason why Jiangling has become an important place in Jingzhou is because it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the terrain is steep, if the Cao army directly established a pontoon bridge on Bailizhou, so that the soldiers continue to besiege the generals through Bailizhou, I am afraid that the generals will be difficult to hold on for too long!" ”

Pan Zhang's face was also quite ugly, he really didn't expect that Cao Zhen would surprise him again and again, and now it seems that for this Jiangling's understanding and Dongwu's understanding, Cao Zhen is definitely not a temporary appointment, this guy is really prepared.

"Brother Ziyu!" For Zhuge Jin, Pan Zhang didn't dare to be too arrogant, after all, this Nanjun Taishou was also an important minister in Jiangdong, "It's better to bother you and General Yang Cang to go and see what the soldiers of the Cao army want to do!" ”

Pan Zhang did not choose to go by himself, but asked Zhuge Jin and Yang Cang to lead the troops, Zhuge Jin had a plan, and Yang Cang's courage and strength were enough.

Even if these two people can't do anything to Cao Jun in Bailizhou, nothing will happen to them.

As for Pan Zhang himself, he must make preparations with both hands, this big battle is difficult to fight.

At this time, the army of the West Road had opened up the situation, and Cao Zhenbing surrounded the generals and directly locked Zhu Ran in Jiangling City, and cut off water and food, looking like he was going to fight to the death.

As for Zhu Ran, he was even more happy, and directly ordered the surrounding houses to be demolished, and then directly blocked the four city gates, and yelled at Cao Jun, "If you want to break the city, step on the corpses of all of us!" ”

For such a guy who will not surrender, Cao Zhen is a word for him.

"Kill!"

Cao's army began to charge, completely ignoring that this was an important town in Jiangling, and it was night. rushed to kill the walls of Jiangling again and again, and Zhu Ran even gave up all his strength and began to resist desperately.

As for Zhuge Jin and Yang Cang, they have already rushed towards Bailizhou with a large army at this time, this is the place where Cao's army transports troops, if Bailizhou is not taken down, I am afraid that Jiangling can be defended for half a year, it will already be quite good.

But Zhuge Jin and Yang Cang came with the determination to die, but when they arrived in Bailizhou, the two of them still failed.

It's not that they are reluctant to die, but most importantly, they can't find anyone at all!

It was too dark, and Zhuge Jin didn't even understand how those damn guys could hypothesize the pontoon bridge in such a dark night, could it be that it was really by moonlight?

But they have one thing to understand, that is, they are definitely surrounded by Cao troops, as long as they dare to act rashly, those Cao troops will immediately dare to give up their generals and directly start besieging the two of them.

"Taishou-sama!" Yang Cang looked at the surrounding stars and fires, and couldn't help but feel a little cowardly, they weren't afraid of death, but they didn't want to die and didn't know what happened, they could die to destroy the pontoon, but they couldn't die so unexplained.

"I know what you're trying to say!" Zhuge Jin also looked at the bright lights of the torches that flickered and wandered around, and in this dark night, they were really a little scared.

"Will they be able to build a pontoon bridge overnight?" Yang Cang seemed to be finding a suitable reason for the two of them again, "Why don't I wait and wait?" When the day dawns, even if the fight starts, we won't be in a mess! ”

After Yang Cang's words were finished, Zhuge Jin also nodded deeply, "Wait until dawn, wait until dawn, and do it immediately!" ”

After Yang Cang heard this, he suddenly let out a long breath, and together with Zhuge Jin, he guarded the army, and then waited for the dawn to come.

And in the darkness in the distance, Xiahou Shang, who was constantly urging the soldiers to build a pontoon bridge, also got the news, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

They did rely on the moonlight to build a pontoon bridge, but there were a large number of people, the sky was dark, and there were far less people attacking Jiangling City than imagined, at this time, all the troops under the command of Xiahou Shang were erecting pontoon bridges in this section, and there were even reinforcements sent by Xu Huang.

It can be said that if Zhu Ran did not block the city gate but chose to attack out of the city, the current Cao Zhen would probably have been defeated.

Not only that, but at this time, Zhang He was only leading a small army in Zhongzhou Dock Fort, and the rest were wandering around here, and at night, countless soldiers were holding torches high, and then constantly dangling around Zhuge Jin and Yang Cang, frightening them to dare not move.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhuge Jin, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed over with the Jiangdong soldiers with a loud roar, wanting to break the pontoon bridge.

Then he saw a magnificent scene.

Countless Cao troops have been waiting for them, from the corners of their dripping clothes and the embarrassed appearance, it can be seen that these people are people who have been busy all night, but this is not important, the important thing is that behind them, countless Cao troops are quickly crossing the Han River and rushing through Bailizhou, and what allows them to do so is the pontoon bridge that has been erected.

"You guys.... It worked? Zhuge Jin couldn't believe it, it was just one night, they actually set up the pontoon bridge, looked at Cao Jun who was constantly crossing the river, and then heard the shouting and killing in the distance.

Looking at Zhuge Jin with a surprised face, Xiahou Shang, the general of Cao Wei's expedition to the south, just showed a sneer, and then after taking a sip, he pulled out his battle knife, and then roared, "Rush!" ”

Although Cao Jun had worked hard all night, he looked at this group of Jiangdong soldiers who were not much different from himself, and they all yelled and rushed out towards the Jiangdong soldiers.

Under the strength of the number and their strong attack, the Jiangdong army quickly retreated, perhaps because the events of this night were really unacceptable to them, Zhuge Jin could only look ashamed, followed behind the army again, and ran back to his camp.

But when they returned to the camp, they didn't see Pan Zhang, who had been in the camp, and after asking in detail, they learned that after they left, Pan Zhang also left the camp with the army under his command and walked in the opposite direction.

Zhuge Jin was not at ease, so he also searched for the past according to their instructions, until he found Pan Zhang, who was working enthusiastically with his subordinates fifty miles upstream from Baili Continent.

"General Pan Zhang, what do you mean by this?" Zhuge Jin looked at this group of busy soldiers, and really didn't know what they were going to do.

"Haha, nothing to do!" Pan Zhang touched the drops of water on his face, "Ziyu seems to have failed!" ”

When Zhuge Jin heard this, he was also sophisticated, and then showed an embarrassed smile, "It's useless for me to wait, let that Cao Jun set up the pontoon bridge!" ”

"Normal!" Pan Zhang didn't have any accidents, "My Jiangdong navy is at the entrance of the cave at this time to watch out for Zhang Liao's house, in fact, to the current position, a certain family must have roughly seen Cao Jun's thoughts, I have to say that it is really powerful, I have underestimated the one in Wancheng!" ”

"General Pan Zhang... What does this mean? ”

"Isn't it possible that Ziyu hasn't seen it yet?" Pan Zhang handed over the work in his hand to the people around him, and then went ashore from the water and came to Zhuge Jin's side, "Is it possible that Ziyu still doesn't know why Cao Pi arranged the army like this?" ”

"Isn't it because he doesn't know how to fight soldiers?" Zhuge Jin hesitated for a moment and said, "Cao Rennai is a heavy general in Jingzhou, but he put him to fight against General Zhu Huan, while Zhang Wenyuan is a veteran, and Zang Ba is also a famous general, but he was led by Cao Xiu'er, and the army on the East Road made them even more miserable, making them unable to act at all." ”

"Uh-huh!" Pan Zhen nodded, but he didn't mean to agree, "But haven't you found a problem yet?" This southern county is an important town, but there are not enough sailors to carry it. ”

Pan Zhang's words woke up the dreamer, why didn't he Zhuge Jin be able to break through the Baili Continent in one fell swoop last night, to put it bluntly, it was not that he was incapable, but that he couldn't do it, he didn't have a naval army to attack those pontoon bridges.

On land, as long as Cao Jun made a move, he would not dare to make a rash move.

If he had enough sailors under his command last night, he could have gone down the river and then directly supported Gangneung, where would there be such a struggle.

"But the water army I'm waiting for..." Zhuge Jin closed in the middle of his words, and then his eyes were also erratic.

"Found out?" Pan Zhang chuckled, "Actually, the lord has been tricked, if a certain family is not wrong, I am afraid that the entrance of the cave is also dangerous now!" ”

"Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms": Wei general Xiahou Shang and others surrounded Nanjun, divided the front part of 30,000 people as a pontoon bridge, crossed the Baili Island, Zhuge Jin, Yang Cang and the soldiers to rescue, unknown out, and Wei soldiers are endless. Zhang said: "Wei is prosperous, and the river is shallow, so it is impossible to fight. ”

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Wei sent Cao Zhen, Xiahou Shang, Zhang He and others to attack Jiangling, and Emperor Wen of Wei lived in Wan to help him, and even besieged the city. The general Sun Sheng supervised 10,000 people to prepare for the state and set up a dock to save the people. The troops of Hedu attacked Sheng, Sheng could not refuse, but immediately retreated, and he was besieged and defended according to the state, and then cut off from China and abroad. The right to send Pan Zhang, Yang Cang and others to solve the siege is incomprehensible.

(Regarding this paragraph, the author speculated that when Cao Pi's three-way or four-way army attacked Eastern Wu, many people felt that Cao Pi did not understand the art of war and acted indiscriminately.)

As for why there is such a statement, in fact, it boils down to three questions.

The first nepotism, the commander of the three-way army this time, was Cao Xiu, the general of the expedition to the east, before that he was only the commander of Cao Cao's tiger and leopard battalion, and in the Hanzhong war, he had Zhang Ji, Cao Hong, Cao Zhen and a group of people, together defeated Zhang Fei and Ma Chao who came to attack the discernment, and also killed the generals under Wu Lan, and finally forced Wu Lan to death.

But at that time, Cao Xiu's position was.... Riding the captain, together with Yilang Xinbi as the commander Cao Hong's army, among which there are partial generals Cao Zhen, as well as Yongzhou Assassin Shi Zhang Ji and others, although Cao Xiu's contribution is not small, but it is not conspicuous.

There is nothing to say about the fact that Cao Ren is the commander of the middle road army, because whether it is the old minister Jiang Ji, or Chang Diao, Wang Shuang, and even his son Cao Tai, they are all juniors in front of Cao Ren.

However, the Western Route Army, like the Eastern Route Army, is a controversial place, that is, the commanders are Cao Zhen, the general of the Shang Army, and the deputy general of Zhengnan, and the two Cao generals, while their deputy generals are the two of the five good generals, Zhang He and Xu Huang.

This makes many readers of the Three Kingdoms feel that Cao Pi is too much, and it is unfair to let such a group of little guys lead a group of generals who have become famous!

Regarding this, the author must explain that their group of "young generals" are only young in the Cao family and the Xiahou family, but they are not young!

At this time, many major generals, the author roughly calculated their ages, basically Cao Ren was fifty-five years old, Zhang Liao was fifty-four years old, Xu Huang was fifty-four years old, Zhang He was fifty-three years old, and Zang Ba was the oldest, he was already fifty-eight years old.

Then there are several members of the Cao family, Cao Zhen is forty-three years old, Cao Xiu is forty years old, and Xiahou Shang is forty-three years old, they are all old people over forty years old, and Cao Zhen, who has been fighting for the longest time, has been fighting by Cao Cao's side for no less than twenty years.

Cao Xiu has been fighting abroad for about ten years since he entered the tiger and leopard cavalry, as for Xiahou Shang, he has always been the rear of the guard, but he followed Cao Zhang to conquer Wuhuan, and pacified the three counties and nine counties of Shangyong, and he is not a young man who has just entered the battlefield.

Let's talk about a few of them, the most dangerous of them is the East Road Army, among which Cao Xiu and Zang Ba are already anxious, which is why in the end, only the East Road Army finally relied on the credit sent by this "heaven", and even missed the fighter in the end.

The middle army will talk about it later, but the west army is not the so-called prestige is not enough, Cao Pi will make up!

Xiahou Shang, the general of Zhengnan, was already a general of Zhengnan when he attacked the three counties and nine counties of Shangyong, and at that time he had Cao Ren and Xu Huang below, to put it bluntly, he had asked Xu Huang to be his deputy general for more than two years at this time, and if there was a problem, it would have been a problem a long time ago.

As for Zhang He, it was during the Battle of Hanzhong, Cao Zhen was the commander of the division all the way, and at the same time, Zhang He was his meeting at that time, to put it bluntly, the original configuration of the Western Route Army was actually two main generals with two deputy generals, and only Cao Zhen and Xiahou Shang needed to be run-in.

However, before Cao Pi set out on the expedition, he took advantage of the momentum of Yongliang's great victory and directly promoted him from the general of the expedition to the west to the general of the Shangjun in one fell swoop, thus becoming one of the most important people in Cao Wei's military.

Therefore, this first point, only the East Road army is really a problem, and the rest is in the personnel arrangement, there is not much to criticize, of course, the reason why Cao Xiu is on the East Road will actually be explained later.

As for the second point, it is Cao Ren's layout, Cao Ren has been stationed in Jingzhou all the year round, it can be said that among Cao Wei, Cao Ren should be the most familiar with Jingzhou and Jiangling, and it stands to reason that Cao Ren should be allowed to fight Jiangling.

But everyone neglected one place, that is, Cao Ren was too arrogant, and his arrogance did not allow him to be a partial teacher all the way, and he could only hit the most important place, and this place was the so-called wet beard.

Throughout the Central Plains and Jiangdong several wars, all the battlefields are in the place of Misu, and about this place, the author specifically consulted the teacher, the terrain is open, can be fought on a large scale, the water potential is not obvious, do not need to rely on too many boats.

Therefore, it can be said that Cao Wei, who lacks warships, is the most suitable place to attack Jiangdong, this place is like Qishan, as long as Qishan is blocked, it is equivalent to blocking Zhuge Liang.

Therefore, Cao Ren, as the main attacker, will definitely appear on the battlefield of Wet Whiskers, but Cao Pi has a trick, that is, his view of Jiangdong is different from that of his father Cao Cao, and Cao Cao has played a geographical advantage, that is, the place of Wet Whiskers.

But Cao Pi fought with people, and Zhennan General Huang Quan was his people, he didn't always hope that he would directly hit the inland of Jiangdong like his father, and then counterattack Jiangdong's naval army, Cao Pi wanted to directly counterattack his naval army.

So he personally sat in Wancheng instead of Wet Beard, not only because he didn't want to partner with Cao Ren, so that both sides were tied, but also because he wanted to build momentum for Cao Zhen, he didn't need to suppress the existence of Cao Ren, but he needed to build momentum for half of Jingzhou, which was an important place for him to attack Jiangdong in the future!

And history has also proved this, when the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin, Jiangdong was defeated by the Jingzhou Thorn History, relying on the naval army!

As for the third point, that is, Cao Pi attacked Wu three times, but the last one ended without a problem, about this because it involves the plot later, the author won't say much, but he will talk about two things.

After three expeditions to Wu, Cao Wei officially entered the era of the unification of the Central Plains, ending all the problems left by Cao Cao when he was alive. )

The entrance of the cave, the camp of the Wu army!

Lu Fan's age is not young, Lu Fan, who is over half a hundred years old, can be regarded as an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and now he is once again stationed at the entrance of the cave with this old body, guarding against Zhang Liao, who makes the entire Jiangdong feel afraid.

"The lord has just sent another letter!" Lu Fan took out the letter silk that Sun Quan asked people to bring to him, and then sighed softly, "At this time, the lord has personally gone to Jiangxia to prepare for Wen Ping, and the letter has repeatedly told me and other soldiers to be careful of Zhang Liao, and to be careful of Zhang Liao." ”

Lu Fan, who was talking, suddenly slapped the table.

"Look at a few of you again, you have to send troops at every turn, that Zhang Liao is so easy to bully? That Zhang Liao is so easy to deal with? You little guys, have you forgotten the battle of Xiaoyaojin back then, how heavy our casualties were? ”

Speaking of the Battle of Xiaoyaojin, the faces of many people present became very ugly, after all, Jiangdong has been humiliating for so many years, and there are many things that are embarrassing, but such a humiliating thing is really only once.

The two names "Zhang 800, Sun 100,000" are like two bedbugs, stuck in the mouths of all Jiangdong soldiers.

Although the historians of Jiangdong had worked hard to beautify the war, they still wrote a large number of words about the war, such as "fighting to the death", "taking away", "having to go", "being spared", "being spared", "dying to death", "being wounded" and so on, and they were all talking about themselves.

This incident is really a shame for Jiangdong, the greatest shame.

"General Lu Fan, why do you bother to grow other people's morale here and destroy your own prestige!" Dingwu Zhonglang General, who is also Sun Jian's concubine, Sun Langnai is a straight temper, when he was in Xiaoyaojin, he didn't participate in it, and he was not convinced by Zhang Liao, "That Cao Xiu is just a yellow-mouthed child, and Zhang Liao is just a horseman, where is there anything worth waiting for me to be so afraid!" ”

Sun Lang didn't just say that he didn't look down on them, but he really didn't look down on them.

"General Lu Fan, please take me with a soldier and a horse, and take me directly to bring you the head of that Liao Pifu, so that my brother can celebrate!"

Sun Lang, as Sun Jian's concubine, called Sun Quan a brother, which is nothing, but if he speaks like this, if it reaches Sun Quan's ears, Lu Fan is afraid that his brother will not be able to bear it.

"General Sun Lang, don't worry!" Lu Fan really didn't know what to say about this guy, so he could only persuade him with good words, "General Sun Lang doesn't know, this battlefield killing is not child's play, we need to think about it in the long run..."

Sun Lang was ashamed when he heard Lu Fan coaxing himself like a child, and directly kicked the table in front of him, and then strode out, really like a child who was out of tune.

Seeing Sun Lang leave so angrily, all the generals sighed, they really didn't know what they should say about this guy, with the bravery and talent of the Sun family, but also with the recklessness of the Sun family, it was still a very serious kind.

"Ahem!" Lu Fan coughed lightly twice, and then said to the generals, "The lord has repeatedly said that Zhang Liao must be brave and fierce, and you must remember that you must go to provoke, let alone underestimate the enemy and act rashly, do you know?" ”

"The Last General's Order!"

Although he was pointed at his nose and said that he couldn't do it, after all, the opponent was really a little difficult to underestimate, so the generals could only endure it, after all, no one dared to say that they could defeat the guy named Zhang Liao on the other side, that is, that guy is seriously ill now, and that's the same!

And Sun Lang, who returned to his tent, was still panting, he had never suffered such a big grievance since he was a child, all these years in Jiangdong, relying on the identity of his grandson's family, and his seniority was also very high, where he was not respected.

Where is it like today, being ignored and looked down upon by such a group of people, although they didn't say a word, but who doesn't know, they are all a group of people who look down on themselves, and feel that they are just a Jiangdong gentleman.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and in the end, Sun Lang directly smashed the things in his tent, even so, he still didn't calm his anger.

"Bastard! Darn! Bastard! ”

Sun Lang, who kept scolding, didn't notice that there was already one more person in his tent at this time.

"General.... What's going on? "With a hoarse voice and red eyes, plus the pale hair on both sides and the pair of slopes, it goes without saying that you know who it is.

Han Long, who disappeared after persuading Huang Quan, appeared in Sun Lang's big tent so grandly at this time.

Seeing Han Long appear, Sun Lang exhaled softly, and then said to Han Long, "It turned out to be Mr. Li, I didn't expect to disturb Mr., I'm really sorry!" ”

Sun Lang, who was furious just now, was very polite to this Han Long, who was much younger than himself, at this time, and he could even be said to be respectful, "It's just that I saw that those guys just now had no one in their eyes, and I was resentful in my heart!" ”

Looking at Sun Lang who was so angry, Han Long's face showed a chuckle.

"Why should the general be like this, in this world, who doesn't act by people's faces, in the final analysis, it's just a matter of ability, if the general has more than 10,000 soldiers now, which of them would dare to underestimate the general!"

"What do you mean, sir..."

"It's time for the general to train!"
