In a battle between the Shu army and the Wei army, the 40,000 Wei army suffered nearly 10,000 casualties and captured more than 30,000 people. ***

Winning this battle means that Yangzhou is completely pacified.

Gan Ning waved his army back to Xiapi County, and four days later Xu Shu also waved his army back to Xiapi. The two armies converged, and the next goal was to deal with Xiahou Yuan, who was already sitting in Pengcheng.

……

Anyang County, located in Runan County, is the border edge of Runan County and Nanyang County. After Zhang Liao and Pang Tong defeated Gao Lan, they marched eastward, quickly captured Anyang County, and stationed in Anyang County.

In the study, Fa Zheng and Zhang Liaozheng discussed things.

"Boom! Boom!! ”

Outside the study, there was a knock on the door, and Huang Xu and Yan Yan came.

The two entered the study and bowed to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao waved his hand and motioned for the two to sit down, and said with a smile: "You guys came just in time, you just received news from Yangzhou. Xu Shu captured Yangzhou's assassin Shi Li Tong and the main bookkeeper Yang Chi, and killed the general Han Hao, captured nearly 50,000 Wei troops, and eliminated the last force in Yangzhou. After careful calculation, Yu Ban, Li Tong and Yang Chi surrendered, plus Han Hao and Shi Jian were killed, it can be said that they fought a beautiful victory. His Majesty must have been overjoyed when he received the news. ”

Huang Xu smiled and said: "Xu Shu is one of His Majesty's most relied on advisors, and it is reasonable that he can achieve such results. Master Zhang, Master Pang, General Yan and I have already completed the deployment, and we are waiting for the order. ”

Pang Tong had a smile on his face and stood up suddenly.

Referring to Xu Shu's military exploits, Pang Tong was also very happy in his heart, happy for Xu Shu's victory.

The two sides are friends, and they also studied art together in Lumen Mountain. But Wen is not the first, Wu is not the second, Pang Tong assisted Zhang Liao in attacking Yuzhou, and he also has the mind of competitiveness. In particular, Wang Can took Bingzhou as a battlefield, Yuzhou as a battlefield, and Yangzhou as a battlefield, and each of the three battlefields had its own commander, which prompted Pang Tong to have the idea of fighting a beautiful victory.

He looked at Zhang Liao, nodded, and said, "Wen Yuan, give the order to attack." ”

Zhang Liao stood up in high spirits and said loudly: "Pass the order and let the people from all counties attack." ”

"No!!"

Huang Xu and Yan Yan got the order, and left the study happily to convey the order.

Pang Tong and Zhang Liao looked at each other, and they both left the study. Because the next battle does not have to stay in Anyang County, the battlefield has to be transferred, and it is approaching Ancheng, the seat of Yuzhou Prefecture.

……

Anseong, Thorn House.

In the hall, Cao Ren sat directly above him, receiving the scout who had just arrived from outside. Seeing the scout's strange expression, Cao Ren felt that something was wrong, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the news?" ”

The scout bowed slightly, clenched his fists and said: "Back to the Metropolitan Governor, Yingchuan County has been attacked by the Shu army and has been lost. "Yingchuan County is located between Luoyang and Runan, Luoyang has long been the territory of the Shu army, Yingchuan County has no support, and it was easily captured by the army sent by Pang Tong, which did not cause much change.

After hearing this, Cao Ren's face was gloomy.

During this period of time, although the Shu army did not attack Ancheng, Cao Ren knew that the Shu army must have a plan.

The sudden loss of Yingchuan County is the best proof of this.

Pang Tong and Zhang Liao ostensibly stayed in Anyang and did not move, they must have made a secret move, wanting to gradually encroach on Yuzhou. Cao Ren thought that he had figured out Pang Tong's intentions, and he was a little happy, but he felt deeply helpless. Gao Ran lost 80,000 Wei soldiers, and the forces under Cao Renneng's command weakened, and Cao Ren also requisitioned soldiers from various counties into Ancheng to strengthen the defense of Ancheng, unable to support the rest of the counties, so he could only hold on.

The fall of Yingchuan County made Cao Ren feel bad in his heart.

Cao Ren waved his hand, and the scout withdrew.

An hour later, another scout sped in, a panicked look on his face.

Cao Ren frowned, and said lightly: "Say, what's the bad news?" ”

The scout saluted Cao Ren, clasped his fists and said: "Dadu Governor, Yiyang, Anfeng and other places in the south of Runan County have all been captured by the Shu army, and Henan is lost, please make a decision for Dadu Governor." ”

Cao Ren's body trembled, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Not long ago, Cao Ren thought that Pang Tong and Zhang Liao were going to gradually encroach on Yuzhou, but he didn't expect that his guess was completely wrong, and there was no such thing. Pang Tong and Zhang Liao were attacking in a large area, with fierce winds and fierce attacks. Even Cao Ren had a hunch that the attacks of Pang Tong and Zhang Liao had not ended, and Yingchuan County, Yiyang, Anfeng and other places were just the beginning.

What to do?

At this moment, a difficult question was placed in front of Cao Ren.

The capture of Yingchuan, Yiyang, Anfeng and other places will definitely cause great turmoil. Yuzhou is unstable, how to deal with it? A series of things made Cao Ren feel a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

He waved his hand and let the scout retreat.

Cao Ren had to think quietly and think about what to do next.

But when Cao Ren's head was still dazed, four scouts ran back in a hurry. The four scouts were also anxious and hurried.

Cao Ren looked at the four scouts standing in the hall, and his head ached.

His voice was hoarse, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's the news?" ”

The first scout standing on the left side clasped his fists and said: "Back to the Governor, Xiping County, Dingying County and other places north of Shangcai County have all been captured by the Shu army, and the territory north of Runan County has fallen. ”

Cao Ren looked at the second one numbly, and motioned for the second scout to speak.

The scout clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "Back to the Metropolitan Governor, Nandun County, Xihua County, Ruyang County and other places in the northeast of Pingyu County have all fallen, and the northeast of Runan County has all fallen. ”

When Cao Ren heard this, his heart began to beat faster, pounding and pounding.

Even, his face gradually turned red, something was very wrong.

Next, the third scout spoke: "Back to the Grand Governor, Xinyang County and Ruyin County to the east of Gushi County have all fallen, and the east of Runan County has all fallen. ”

"Enough!!"

Cao Ren slapped the table, his face was hideous, and his eyes were about to bulge.

He was short of breath and angry in his heart.

After a long while, Cao Ren's breathing stabilized slightly, but it was not that he really calmed down, but he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and forced himself to calm down. He looked at the fourth scout who had reported the news, and asked in a deep voice, "They started from the north and east of Runan, and you brought bad news from the south." ”

The scout nodded and replied, "The Metropolitan Governor is wise, the former Lu County and Fubo County south of Xincai County have all fallen, and all the territory south of Runan County has been lost. ”

"Wow!!"

Cao Ren's chest kept rising and falling, and he opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of blood mist.

He was already prepared in his heart, and after listening to the news of the scout's report, he still couldn't hold back his anger, and the blood was churning in his chest. Angry, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Since Runan County and Namyang County are bordered, the north, east, and south sides are occupied, and the west is the boundary of Nanyang County, which means that he is trapped and becomes a turtle in an urn.

"Governor, you have to take care of your health!"

"Governor, the soldiers are looking forward to you stabilizing the situation, you must cheer up."

……

Four scouts, you and I are talking and talking.

In fact, Cao Ren was the pillar of the Wei army's soldiers, and if Cao Ren fell, they would not be able to stand. Cao Ren let out a long breath, his pale face gradually regained a hint of ruddyness, he tried to calm himself down, and then ordered: "Come on, get the map." ”

After a while, the soldier took a map and placed it on Cao Ren's desk.

Cao Ren stretched out his hand and pointed to Yingchuan County, Shangcai County, Pingyu County, Gushi County, Xincai County and other places, plus the lost Yiyang and Anfeng, he was depressed and didn't know what to do.

Judging from the map, Ancheng, where Cao Ren was located, had been isolated and surrounded by the Shu army.

The situation suddenly became extremely difficult.
