Chapter 164: Attacking Gangneung
Seven days have passed since Xiangyang was taken.
Jiang Fengzhi is not in Jingzhou, the goal is Yizhou.
But before we can do anything about Yiju, there's one more thing to do - Gangneung!
Although Liu Bei in Jiangxia and Xiakou is not easy to attack, although Jingzhou is not a place to stay for a long time, but judging from the current situation, Jiangling will not take it for nothing.
With Fancheng and Xiangyang falling into his hands, Jiangling also became Cao Cao's last lonely city in Jingzhou.
If Jiangling can be taken, Jiang Feng will be able to gain a firm foothold in the north of Jingzhou.
In this way, when he was plotting Yizhou, it was not so easy for Cao Cao to attack him from the north or Sun Quan to attack him from the southeast.
Fancheng, Xiangyang, and Jiangling, the three places are each other's horns, and there is more than enough to advance and retreat, which can preserve the strength well.
……
On the eighth day of taking Xiangyang, Jiang Feng asked Zou Kai to guard Fancheng and Wang Wei to guard Xiangyang, and he led 20,000 troops to Jiangling City.
The guard of Gangneung was Cho In.
In Jiang Feng's mind, Cao Ren is second only to Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Chun, and can be ranked fourth among Cao Cao's peers.
Historically, in the areas of Jiangling and Nanjun, Cao Ren repelled Zhou Yu several times, and even seriously injured Zhou Yu with a stray arrow.
In the end, Zhou Yu died of illness, which was also caused by this.
It can be said that Zhou Yu died in the hands of Cao Ren.
In the face of such an opponent, Jiang Feng did not dare to underestimate it, and besieged Jiangling for three whole days, trying to feint several times, but still couldn't find a way to break the city.
……
That night, Jiang Feng was discussing with the generals, and suddenly the soldiers came to report: "General Qiyu, there is a person who calls himself Wei Yan who wants to see him!" ”
"Wei Yan?"
Hearing this name, Jiang Feng was surprised.
Because he has dealt with Wei Yan, he has suffered a little loss!
At that time, he received Cao Cao's order to go to Jiangling to discuss matters, and on the way, when it was convenient for Master Diao Chan, Wei Yan came out of the forest to kill.
He and Diao Chan fled in embarrassment, and some of his subordinates were all murdered!
Anyway, this thing is not small, how dare you take the initiative to come to yourself?
After thinking about it, when Wei Yan dealt with himself, he was still working under Cao Cao.
And Wei Yan looked down on Cao Cao the most, and now that he is anti-Cao, it has spread all over Jingzhou, and Wei Yan must have heard of it.
Historically, after Liu Bei took Jingzhou, Wei Yan took refuge in Liu Bei; But now, he has taken Liu Bei's path first, so to speak......
Could it be that Wei Yan is here to take refuge in me?
Historically, Wei Yan's reputation has been mixed, but his military talent is beyond doubt.
Some people even say that Wei Yan's ability is comparable to that of the Five Tiger Generals!
It's just that Zhuge Liang doesn't trust this person, so his military exploits are not so prominent, so he is greatly underestimated!
Rao is like this, and Wei Yan's military exploits are also comparable to Cao Ying's "five good generals".
Jiang Feng has just won two cities now, and he is attacking Jiangling, and it is the time to employ people, so he is very happy in his heart.
But he wasn't sure if Wei Yan had come to take refuge, and asked again, "Did he say anything?" ”
The soldier said: "This person claims that he can help the general take Gangneung!" ”
Jiang Feng was worried about how to break the city, and when he heard this, he stood up directly and said, "Hurry up, please!" ”
……
After a while, the soldier led Wei Yan in.
I saw that he was naked, with a thorn stick stuck in his waist, and when he arrived in the tent, he knelt directly on the ground in front of Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng hurriedly held him up and said, "Brother Wei, what are you doing?" ”
Wei Yan said: "In the past, Wei Yan thought that the general was a lackey of the Cao thief, so he attacked the general halfway, but now he knows that the general is to endure humiliation; Wei Yan is guilty of a serious crime, so he came to bear the guilt! ”
Jiang Feng hurriedly pulled him up and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty, Brother Wei is serious!" ”
Wei Yan said: "The general really doesn't blame Wei Yan? ”
Jiang Feng said with a smile: "Brother Wei and I are both jealous and hateful, and treat Cao thieves like dung, what a crime!" ”
Wei Yan was overjoyed, knelt on the ground again, and said: "If the general does not dislike it, Wei Yan is willing to throw his head and spill blood for the general, conquer Wu and destroy Cao, and go to the soup to fight the fire!" ”
Jiang Feng said: "Brother Wei, please get up quickly!" With the help of Brother Wei, the great cause can be accomplished! ”
At that moment, Jiang Feng ordered someone to send clothes to Wei Yan and asked someone to arrange a camp tent.
Wei Yan only put on his clothes, but did not leave, and said: "The general has besieged Jiangling for more than three days, I don't know if he has found a way to break the city?" ”
Jiang Feng sighed, shook his head and said, "Cao Ren is not a wine bag and rice bucket, if he wants to take Jiangling, I'm afraid it will not be easy!" ”
Wei Yan said: "Jiangling needs to be broken quickly, otherwise if you let him wait for reinforcements, don't say Jiangling, Fancheng and Xiangyang are all in danger!" ”
Jiang Feng said: "Exactly! ”
Wei Yan then said: "Yan has a plan to help the general capture Jiangling!" ”
Jiang Feng was overjoyed and said, "What's the plan?" ”
Wei Yan said: "If you want to capture Jiangling, there is no other way but to attack hard!" ”
Hard attack, Jiang Feng didn't think about it, but the price was too great!
Now he has a net worth of less than 50,000 men and horses, half of whom stayed in Fancheng and Xiangyang, and half of them went out with him.
If the price is too great, even if Gangneung is taken, it will be a chicken rib.
Seeing that Jiang Feng didn't speak, Wei Yan said: "If the general trusts, you can give three thousand soldiers and horses, and before it gets dark tomorrow, you can take Jiangling for the general!" ”
Jiang Feng's psychological expectation was to capture Jiangling at a cost of less than 10,000 people.
More than 10,000 people, the gains outweigh the losses!
Seeing that Wei Yan only needed 3,000 people, Jiang Feng's heart moved, and said, "Brother Wei is serious?" ”
Wei Yan said: "There is no joke in the army! Before dark tomorrow, if you can't beat Jiangling, Wei Yan will come to see you! ”
Jiang Feng said: "Okay! I'll give you five thousand soldiers! ”
Wei Yan said: "Three thousand is enough!" But I need the general to guard the other gates for me, and leave the north gate alone! ”
Seeing Wei Yan's promise, Jiang Feng immediately issued a military order and let Wei Yan lead the troops.
……
After Wei Yan and the generals left, Cai Wenji walked out of it and said, "Husband, is this move too big?" ”
Because there were too few people available to Jiang Feng, Cai Wenji and Zhen Mi were often eavesdropping and giving advice to Jiang Feng.
And Zhen Mi's belly is getting bigger and bigger, so this time she didn't bring Jiangling, only Cai Wenji alone.
Jiang Feng said: "Madame, which aspect of the support is the majority?" ”
Cai Wenji said: "Wei Yan, the concubine has heard of it, but I don't know what the character is, the husband easily allowed him 3,000 soldiers and horses, aren't you afraid that he has different intentions?" ”
Jiang Feng thought for a while and said, "It should be fine!" ”
Cai Wenji was still relieved, sighed lightly, and said: "I only hate that Cai Yan is not a man, and I can't help my husband to kill the enemy!" ”
Jiang Feng said: "If you are a man, you will not be able to sleep with me!" ”
Cai Wenji was speechless for a while.
Jiang Feng hugged her gently and said, "It's really hard for you this time!" But when we take Yizhou, we will be able to come to the bitter end! ”
Cai Wenji nodded lightly, snuggled in Jiang Feng's arms, and said sweetly: "Accompanied by a husband, no matter how bitter it is, it is sweet!" Recommended reading: "Reading Files 2013"
