Chapter 210 - Zhao Yunlu blocks the Jiujiang Army
Yingshui Pass.
At this time, the Chu army was full of joy and was celebrating the success of repelling the Qi army.
At the celebration banquet, sit down according to the level. Because Xu Huang is the general of the four towns, and the credit for defeating the Qi army this time is the greatest for Xu Huang, Xu Huang is naturally in the upper seat.
On his left are He Shoubo and Lu Xun, who are already in the army.
On the right are Gan Ning, Zhou Bo, Lu Wenlong, Zhang Daniu, Ye Xi and others.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone began to talk about business.
"General Xu, I take the liberty to ask, now that the Qi army has retreated, I don't know what the general will do next?" He Shoubo stood up and asked.
Zhou Bo on the side was also anxious at this time, waiting for Xu Huang to speak.
Although Han Xin has retired, he still hasn't been able to see his uncle and son. A few days ago, I heard that the Jiujiang Army had also declared war on the baby, and Zhou Bo thought about it even if he was a little worried about Zhou Tong and Zhou Yafu's ancestors and grandchildren.
"Well, I won't hide it from you. This time, the king sent me here, not only to support several princes, but also to rescue the relatives of General Zhou. And find a way to recruit Yingyin and recover the Yingyin region! Xu Huang told everyone about Xiang Yu's order.
When Zhou Bo heard this, he immediately got up and knelt down, and said with tears in his eyes: "Xiang Wang is benevolent!" How can you repay it! ”
Seeing this, Xu Huang hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said, "Why is General Zhou like this? Hurry up, please! ”
"Alas, such a great grace, there is only one life to be returned! General Xu! A certain wish to surrender! Zhou Bo immediately bowed his hand.
"Hahaha, good, good! General Zhou's willingness to surrender is really gratifying! Ben will honor you three times! When Xu Huang heard that Zhou Bo was willing to surrender, he was immediately overjoyed. picked up the wine glass on the table and toasted Zhou Bo three times in a row.
Everyone's faces also showed joy. For a time, the whole camp was happy.
Everyone drank until the third watch, and then they dispersed and returned to the camp to rest.
…………
Jingzhou, Cao Cao at this time, was discussing the next strategic plan with his subordinates.
"Today, our army has advanced more than 40 miles. The day before yesterday, Yuan Rang led people to capture Luyang, Xinyang and other places.
Wen Qiandong attacked Yuzhou and took Xiao County, Yu County, Feiting, Ku County, Song County and other places. What are your thoughts on the next step? ”
Cao Cao analyzed the current form, and then asked the crowd for their opinions.
"My lord, according to the current situation. Yuzhou and Luyang have basically been controlled by our army! The rest of the counties have only a few county soldiers, so it's not a problem!
You can let General Lejin go north to join General Xiahou, and directly take Yingyin and Guan Ying to fight a decisive battle! Charuch, who was in the military attaché, immediately came out of the ranks.
This Xia Ruqi was originally just a personal soldier by Cao Cao's side, but since he fought with Dian Wei and Xu Chu against Lu Bu. Cao Cao found that his martial arts were good, and even if he was promoted to a partial general, he stayed under the tent and appointed.
After Cao Cao listened to Xia Ruqi's suggestion, he nodded and said, "Well, it's time to fight with the baby!" ”
After all, the Jiujiang Army had been fighting fiercely in the Yingyin area for four months. The consumption of military supplies in all aspects is quite large, and it has entered late autumn at this time, and if you don't fight a decisive battle quickly, I am afraid that you will have to wait until the beginning of spring next year.
At that time, I am afraid that the baby will be relieved, and all the previous efforts will be nullified!
"Slow down! Please think twice! ”
Everyone saw that it was Zhang Liang who spoke.
"Oh? What does the good man think, it is. Cao Cao raised his eyes and said.
"Lord, although this baby is now only a small piece of land in Yingchuan, and its strength is not as good as before. But the lord still can't easily fight with the baby!
At present, wars are raging in the Yingyin region, and the princes' forces have intervened. To take Yingchuan, we must also work steadily and step by step. Otherwise, I'm afraid that there will be princes beating them in the back!
Besides, this Runan is only a hundred miles away from Jiangxia, and if the defenders of Runan raid Jiangxia, I am afraid that Jiangxia will be in danger! Please think twice! Zhang Liangdang even analyzed all the forms.
Cao Cao listened to it, and he also thought about it carefully, and only after half a sound did he slowly speak: "The words of the ovary are not unreasonable, but our army broke Liang Tai first, and then defeated Lu Bu. Now is the time for morale to be high.
Moreover, in the Jiangxia area, there is Xiang Yu in the east and Sun Ce in the west. If you don't take Yingchuan as soon as possible, I'm afraid that there will be no place for me Cao Cao in the future!
Therefore, a certain decided to attack Yingchuan while the morale was high! ”
"This ......" Zhang Liang moved his lips and wanted to say something more, but he was powerless to refute, so he had to sit back and sit down.
Cao Cao has made up his mind, even if he drafts the edict, he ordered Le Jin to lead his troops north to join Xiahoudun in Luyang and take Yingchuan directly!
…………
On the border of Luyang, on the Lu Mountain, an army is encamping here, lighting a fire and cooking.
In the camp, a big flag with the word "Chu" is fluttering in the wind, and there is a conspicuous red flag with the word "Zhao" on the side.
This Chu army was the troops that Zhao Yun was ordered to come to reinforce Zhou Bo and others.
As for why Zhao Yun brought the army here, it had to be a big battle with Lu Bu a few days ago.
Lu Bu fought with Zhao Yun for more than 80 rounds that day, and there was still no victory.
But after the remnants of his troops were defeated and will be surrounded and wiped out, Lü Bu was afraid of being dragged by the Chu army. When even if he rode away, he would no longer be entangled with Zhao Yun.
Because Niu Gao was valued by Lu Bu, he didn't know his life and death, looking at Lu Bu who was running, Zhao Yun could only give up chasing and check Niu Gao's situation.
Fortunately, Niu Gao's life is big, and he still hangs for half a breath. In the end, under the full healing of more than a dozen Lang Zhong who accompanied him, he picked up a life from the ghost gate.
For the sake of insurance, Zhao Yun led the soldiers and horses and continued to advance according to the route that Niu Gao inquired about, which was inconvenient to come to the territory of Luyang.
When he arrived in Luyang, Zhao Yun also found that there was a problem with Niu Gao's route back from inquiring, and sent someone to inquire from Xin. Only then did I learn the news that Cao Cao was the fire of Jingzhou and Lu Bu and the news that Xu Huang broke Han Xin.
After Zhao Yun ensured that Zhou Bo and the others were helped, he simply didn't do anything, and set up camp on Mount Lu, first observing the situation clearly, and then making a decision!
After seeing it this way, I got the news that Xiahou had entered Luyang. Zhao Yun thought about it, since this Xiahou was going to attack Yingchuan, it was better to meet him first.
When he ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses, he waited for the arrival of the Jiujiang Army on the avenue. Zhao Yun waited like this, not only waited for Xiahoudun, but also brought Le Jin with him.
After these two soldiers were united, the strength of the army reached more than 25,000 people, five times that of Zhao Yun.
When both sides understand the identity of the other, they are not in a hurry to go to war. It's not that Xiahoudun and Le Jin don't want to go to war with Zhao Yun.
It was because Cao Cao and Xiang Yu had signed an alliance in Shouchun before and would not attack each other.
For the sake of insurance, the two could only send someone to ask Cao Cao for advice. Zhao Yun blocked the two of them for three days!
