In the north of Dingling City, Xiahou Shang also led 3,000 knights to watch the battle here, waiting for the opportunity to fight.

As the sky grew brighter, Sima Yi and Zhang He fled to the battlefield after receiving the Kunyang defenders, while Xiahou Shang broke off and covered Xiahou Ba's retreat.

Abandoning Kunyang, the Han army will initially establish a defensive circle, and then the main strongholds of the Han army are none other than Luyang in the northwest, Dingling in the northeast, Yunxian and Wuyang in the east.

Tian Xin gathered before and after the two battalions of knights were about to pursue, and the peripheral scouts were scouting to report, Pang Lin personally dissuaded: "It has been found out that Cao Xiu's troops are marching towards Xudu, and at this moment the army is on the outskirts of Yun County!" ”

He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "According to the scout's reconnaissance, the army of the thief Pei Qian's army collapsed and scattered back to the township. The scouts encountered many deserters from Yuzhou, and most of them were willing to return to Runan and Yiyang with our army. ”

Lost.

Tian Xin suddenly felt that he had lost a lot, and he was a little unconvinced: "Pei Qian's department has collapsed?" ”

"Yes, the scouts of each team have reported it, and it doesn't seem to be a lie."

Pang Lin also felt that he had lost ...... Pei Qian's Yuzhou Legion is an auxiliary corps dominated by Tuntian guests, and its combat effectiveness is not high, but after all, this is the establishment and number of more than 20,000 people.

It is also a military feat, and in small terms, this legion means a military feat of capturing 20,000.

Tian Xin is no longer lacking, but there is no shortage of generals and officials below Pang Lin?

In a big way, the encirclement and forced landing of this corps can be carried out in accordance with the policy of prisoner reform...... Squeeze.

It is not surprising that among the soldiers who surrendered with the ban, there are still nearly 2,000 people staying in Linfu Juntun; Tian Xin always held the army of more than 10,000 people in his hands in the Zhaoyang Yi military tun.

Now that this army has collapsed and disintegrated, and it has gone to serve in front of the Han military camp, that is, the Han Righteous Army and righteous soldiers, and they will naturally be given higher treatment.

Even if they flee back to the countryside and the Han army returns to Runan, these people will resume their identity as Han people.

When the time comes, it will be a greater price to recruit the strength of these people, and the will of the people will also be considered.

It's not just a loss, it's a big loss!

Pang Lin looked at Tian Xin's appearance and guessed seventy-seven-eighty-eight, it is good that there is a tacit understanding of this kind of thing, and he said: "Cao Xiu abandoned Yiyang and Runan Prefectures, I am afraid that he has reached an agreement with Sun Quan, and the Wu army is about to go north to join the war." I expect that Song Gong must have an arrangement, and filial piety should not be moved lightly. ”

It is impossible for the Wei army to give up the counties of Yiyang and Runan for no reason, perhaps ceded to Sun Quan, or perhaps the Wu army has already entered the war and is reinforcing Wankou.

No matter how poor the Wu army is, it can still hold Runan and contain the 350,000 Han army.

Perhaps the Wu army had already arrived in Runan and was gradually taking over the defensive positions.

Two problems were immediately put in front of him, the first was that Cao Xiu would move eastward and join the Yanzhou army of Xiahou Shang and Su Ze, then a field army of more than 100,000 would be formed, and the cavalry army would be about 15,000.

In the face of this strategic force, we cannot rush into it without doing a good job in intelligence investigation and pre-war arrangements.

Therefore, the pursuit of Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Shang can only be stopped, and then wait for the fighters.

The second question is, is it easy to fight the Wei army, which is well versed in the Central Plains, or is it easy to fight the Wu army, which came from afar and is very likely to be unadaptable?

After settling this account, who will fight the Wu army in Runan will become the next highlight.

If the principle of fairness and fairness is adhered to, the decision is made by voting...... Just vote for Zhang Fei.

On the other side, the Wei troops in Luyang and Mobi were celebrating their achievements and holding a banquet to welcome Sun Deng, the Great Wei Huya Army, to help in the battle.

Although he was captured and beheaded by the Han army, Sima Yi beheaded Wu Yi, the governor of Guanzhong of the Han army, the brother of the Han queen, and the deputy general of the right army; Zhang He also successfully received the nearly 10,000 defenders of Kunyang who were besieged.

Although the process was a bit embarrassing, it also proved that the Han army was not invincible!

As for the difference between the quality of the army that is rescued and the quality of the army that is folded in...... Now is not the time to think about such things.

To be people-oriented, 5,000 for 10,000, behead the enemy's generals, what is this not a big victory?

Sima Yi, Cao Hong, and Zhang He jointly performed to report their merits, and a big victory of this level must definitely be notified to the counties and counties of the world.

Thanks to Zhao Yan's good start last year, the Wei army carried forward the glorious tradition of one as ten...... Sima Yi and others had a clear conscience, and they all signed on this sheet of 'more than 3,000 thieves returned from the first 3,000 levels, and the thieves drowned and trampled to death in the smoke and fire'.

Cao Xiu's bizarre move to the east puzzled the Han army, and while waiting for Liu Bei's order to divide his troops, the news also reached Yingkou, where Sun Quan was located, at noon.

Sun Quan is the farthest away from the battlefield, which is more than 600 miles, and Sun Quan can always be informed of the changes in the military situation on the Wankou battlefield.

Cao Pi is more than 300 miles away, Liu Bei is 200 miles away, although the trend of the war is determined by the front-line generals, but also controlled by the rear.

Zhang Liao is Jiangdong's nightmare, but this nightmare was shattered by another nightmare beast, and now the Wu army is divided into Yingkou and Rukou, entrenched in the main stream of Huaishui and waiting quietly, Sun Quan really dare not move.

It is different from the Yangtze River, Hefei, and Shouchun, the Yangtze River is so wide, and there is no cover, and it will be withdrawn if it can't be beaten; In Hefei and Shouchun, he was stationed in Chaohu again, and the back road was always safe.

The Huai River water network is dense, and there are only a few waterways that can be suitable for the army to move back and forth by boat, as long as it is stuck by the Han army or the Wei army, the Great Wu Sailor will immediately be surnamed Wei and Han.

Now in this situation, Sun Quan really doesn't dare to move.

He was stationed at Yingkou, fifty miles away from Shouchun, and stubbornly guarded the retreat of the whole army.

was afraid that he would go to the front line to participate in the war, and then Cao Zhi and Zang Ba led the Qingxu soldiers to cut off their back roads.

And now, without waiting for the Wu army to reply, Cao Xiu withdrew eastward without authorization, ceding the vast area west of Rushui, and leaving Pan Jun to face the Han army...... In this critical situation, Sun Quan had to think about the proposal of the Han army.

If you turn around and fight Qingxu now, Xiahou Shang, Cao Xiu, and Cao Ren, who have experienced a hundred battles, will definitely not dare to reinforce the Qingxu battlefield.

The most capable Zang Ba Department of the Qingxu Army has been disabled, and the world's famous general, Qingxu Guardian, and Zang Ba, the Marquis of Kaiyang of the Great Wei Dynasty, is already old and easy to bully.

Not to mention Cao Zhi, he almost never led an army alone, and he had conflicts with Cao Pi and were suspicious of each other.

Such a Qingxu army, what is there to be afraid of?

But if the Han army defeats the Wei army with absolute superiority on the frontal battlefield and decides the Central Plains, then won't he have no way out?

Sun Quan didn't dare to move, but wanted to move, and said very embarrassed to the Han army envoy Zong Pre: "But why is the prince entrusted to the north, how can you ignore this flesh and blood feeling?" ”

Zong Yu understood very much, and his tone was gentle: "Because of this, I am deeply worried about the king. The king has the ambition to compete and is no longer allowed in the Han and Wei dynasties. Today has come to the time when the three parties are competing for power, and the king is weak, if he can't get the land of Qingxu to strengthen himself, sooner or later he will be annexed. ”

Sun Quan's expression was gloomy when he heard this, and he sighed: "I regret listening to Lu Ziming's words of misleading the country!" ”

"Your Majesty, it's not too late to make amends."

Zong preface patiently persuaded and asked: "King, the Central Plains is the confidant of Wei, how can the monarchs and ministers of Wei stay?" ”

Sun Quan was silent, and Zong Pre said: "When the monarchs and ministers of Wei are trying their best to resist, the two tigers are fighting, and one is bound to die and one be injured. Today, the foreign minister sent an envoy to the king to persuade the king to take Qingxu in the east, and the original intention was to change one death and one injury to two injuries, one minor injury and one serious injury. ”

"If the king takes Qingxu, he will be strong in the world with Han, but Wei is weak. This pattern of two strong and one weak is beneficial to Han and Wu. ”

Seeing Sun Quan pondering, Zong Yu asked again: "Can the king hear that Zhao Gong was attacked at night, and Xiahou watched from the wall?" ”

Hearing this, Sun Quan had a smile on his face: "I have heard it for a long time, and it is difficult to distinguish its truth from falsehood." I wanted to ask Deyan, but I was afraid of making Deyan unhappy...... Is this really the case? ”

Zong Yu nodded slowly, his face heavy: "There is indeed such a thing, Zhao Gong almost died." ”

Sun Quan's eyes lit up in anticipation: "Then how should Guan Yunchang deal with it...... No, no, no, this Han army's secret family is ugly, why does Deyan publicize it? ”

"It's just a mission."

Zong pre-emptively said: "I ran for the Han and Wu to unite the two interests, and to promote this matter, I can not only share the worries of the country, but also achieve the mission and show my strengths." Moreover, this incident has already happened, and the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms know it, and the foreign ministers hide it from the king, and the king will know the inside story sooner or later, so why should the foreign ministers hide it? Let's be frank. ”

"The king and think deeply, even if our army in the Central Plains wins a big victory, how can we go further with the current internal struggle?"

"If the king is hesitant and uncertain, he will be wanted."
