Chapter 550: Yanzhou Rebellion
It's not that Cheng Yu wants to win the plan, but Chen Gong's hand has taken the lead, even if Cheng Yu guesses Chen Gong's strategy, he has to let Xiahoudun come to help. Juancheng www.biquge.info is too important to them, although there is Xiahou Yuan in the city, but Xiahou Yuan is injured, and there are not many soldiers and horses, and he is unable to defend, so he must concentrate Xiahou Yuan's soldiers and horses in Puyang to guard.
Xiahoudun, who was in Puyang, was shocked after receiving the news, and immediately left Puyang with soldiers and horses, and the light army kept rushing to help Juancheng, at the same time, Lu Bu led the troops to Puyang, and the two met unexpectedly halfway, and a big war broke out immediately.
However, Lu Bu was anxious to take Puyang, occupy a foothold, sit in Yanzhou, Xiahou was concerned about Juancheng, and he was even more desperate to die, the two armies were difficult to distinguish the victory and defeat for a while, and when the battle was not long, Lu Bu was unwilling to waste time, immediately withdrew from the battlefield, broke away from the battle, and sent people to surrender according to Chen Gong's plan, and he himself quickly rushed to Puyang with soldiers and horses.
Chen Gong's plan has been carried out in secret, Xiahoudun didn't know the reason at this time, and didn't know that it was Lu Bu who encountered it, he just thought it was the rebel army in Yanzhou, he was concerned about Juancheng, and when he saw the rebels surrendering, he didn't think much about it, and continued to march with them to strengthen his strength and defend Juancheng.
I didn't want to stop the army for dinner on the way, those soldiers and horses who surrendered suddenly burst out and hijacked Xiahoudun, but these soldiers who surrendered by fraud were all Yanzhou people, afraid of Xiahoudun's prestige, they didn't dare to kill, only asked for money, Xiahoudun's lieutenant hurriedly raised money and handed it over to the soldiers who surrendered, and those soldiers were besieged by Xiahoudun's soldiers and horses, and they didn't dare to collect money to kill, so they let Xiahoudun go.
However, Xiahoudun was not polite, and in turn killed all these deceitful soldiers, and then continued to run to Juancheng.
After Xiahoudun left with the soldiers and horses, Puyang only had hundreds of soldiers and horses, Lu Bu easily attacked Puyang, obtained a large amount of baggage, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, immediately arranged soldiers and horses in Puyang, and camped outside the city, preparing to use this place as his rear to seize Yanzhou.
At the same time as Lu Bu's action, Zhang Miao sent troops from Chen Liu to the east, and Chen Gong sent troops from Dongwuyang to the north. Even the soldiers and horses of Bao Xin in the northern kingdom of Jibei were forged by Chen Gong Bao Xin to send a letter to him, informing those soldiers and horses that Bao Xin was determined to oppose Cao and changed his flag.
Xiahoudun had a false alarm, rushed to Juancheng overnight, Chen Gong has a very deep foundation in Yanzhou, the forces of the rebellion are intertwined, and there are many people in Juancheng secretly involved, looking for opportunities to cooperate with Chen Gongli, Xiahoudun's soldiers and horses arrived in Juancheng, Xiahou Yuan and Cheng Yu were very settled, and then dozens of people who showed signs of rebellion were found overnight, all executed, and the situation in Juancheng was temporarily stabilized.
However, they didn't take a breath, and they didn't usher in Lu Bu's attack, and another army of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses approached the city, led by Guo Gong, the assassin of Yuzhou, who came to take advantage of the fire and robbed, at this time, the Juancheng soldiers were all afraid, because Cao Cao did not have Xun Yu, and the person who was left to preside over the state affairs was Cheng Yu, and Guo Gong directly named Cheng Yu under the city. Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan dissuaded Cheng Yu.
Historically, Xun Yu guarded Juancheng and went out of the city to meet Guo Gong, but Xun Yu was a native of Yingchuan, Xun's reputation in Yuzhou was great, and Xun Yu's reputation was also very great, Guo Gong did not dare to harm him, so it was relatively safe. Cheng Yu is different, he is a native of Yanzhou, and it is extremely risky to go out to meet.
Although Cheng Yu is more than fifty years old, he is old and strong, with a strong personality, and he is more courageous than a general, because Guo Gong served as the assassin of Yuzhou not long ago, his analysis hit the nail on the head, and concluded that Guo Gong and Zhang Miao are not old friends, and now they are coming so quickly, they must have not decided on a strategy, so they decided to persuade him when he has not yet decided on a strategy, even if they can't be used as help, they can also make Guo Gong remain neutral, if they don't go out of the city to meet, it will make Guo Gong determined to attack the city.
After leaving the city, Cheng Yu was righteous, on the righteousness of the court, accusing Guo Gong, the assassin of Yuzhou, should not enter the territory of Yanzhou, Guo Gong saw that Cheng Yu, the old man, was so rigid and fearless, thinking that the city had already had a way to deal with it, but he was a little jealous, thinking of Cao Cao's Yuzhou pursuit of Yuan Shu's strength, he immediately put away his greed, led the troops away, and Zhang Miao pulled all the way to the reinforcements and broke it.
After returning to the city, Cheng Yu quickly learned about the current situation in Yanzhou, and learned that only a few counties such as Dong'e and Fan County had not rebelled, and Jin Yun's mother, brother, wife and children of Jin Yun, the county commander of Fan County, which was adjacent to Juancheng, were all captured by the rebels, and the surrender was only instantaneous, and the situation was very grim.
In order to avoid Juancheng becoming an isolated city, they must take care of Dong'e and Fan County, Cheng Yu immediately let the Xiahou brothers guard Juancheng, and he personally rushed to Fan County and Dong'e with a cavalry with Xue Yi and others, because he was a Dong'e and had a lot of prestige in this area.
Arrived in Fan County, the general Fan Wei sent by Chen Gong has already attacked, Cheng Yu entered the city to persuade the county order Jin Yun who was held hostage: Today's chaos, heroes and rise, the wise must carefully choose the master, the winner of Chang, the loss of the owner of the death, Chen Gong rebelled against Lu Bu and a hundred cities should respond, it seems to be able to do something, let Lu Bu be rough, the male of the horseman, Chen Gong and others are pretending to be together, but they are using each other, and they will not really serve Lu Bu as the master, although the soldiers are numerous, they will be defeated, Cao makes Jun Zhi slightly out of the world, and he is awarded by the sky! Isn't it better for you to follow the wicked man by violating your loyalty, and as a result, both mother and son are killed?
Cheng Yu acted paranoidly, never considered from the moral aspect, Jin Yun was not a filial son like Xu Shu, and was persuaded by Cheng Yu, so he said that he did not dare to have two hearts, and pretended to surrender, ambushed and killed Fan Wei sent by Chen Gong, and broke up Chen Gong and Lu Bu all the way to attack, and Fan County was decided.
On the way, he learned that Chen Gong was going up from the north bank of the Yellow River, preparing to attack Dong'e County in the Cangtingjin River, and immediately sent cavalry to cut off the Cangtingjin Ferry, and when Chen Gong led the army to the river, it was impossible to cross the river.
When he arrived in Dong'e, he saw that Dong'e County Ling Zao had led the people to hold on to the city wall, Cheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately stayed in Dong'e to defend the city and wait for Cao Cao's return.
……
The weather was already quite hot in May, and when Yanzhou was in chaos, Cao Cao did not know that there was a fire in the backyard, and he was still storming Tancheng.
Liu Bei resisted for a while, but after all, there were too few soldiers and horses, and the new soldiers in Danyang could not control it, and they were defeated and retreated. As for Cao Bao, he had already been defeated, and Xuzhou's morale was low and it was difficult to fight again.
In Tancheng, in the backyard of the state pastor's mansion, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian was even older at this time, he called his two sons, asked them to secretly prepare their bags, and was ready to flee back to his hometown in Danyang, Yangzhou with his family.
Outside Tancheng, in Cao's camp, seeing that Xuzhou was about to be captured, Cao Cao was full of ambition, looked at the side of Xi Zhicai, and laughed: "Hahahaha, Zhicai, and now Xuzhou is about to be broken, if Xuzhou is obtained, Zhang Liao is not afraid." ”
Xi Zhicai has not been in good spirits since he experienced Cao Cao's slaughter of the city, and he was sick again in the spring, and his face was a little pale at this time, but seeing that Cao Cao was quite complacent, he coughed twice and said: "Lord, don't be careless, you need to guard against Zhang Wenyuan, the lord has Xuzhou, and he will inevitably threaten him, but he has not moved at this time, which is quite strange." ”
Cao Cao stroked his beard and said: "Zhicai doesn't know, before this expedition, you are sick at home, I have ordered someone to see Ben Chu, ask him to lead the troops east into Qingzhou, involving Zhang Liao, at this time Zhang Liao is afraid that he has no time to take care of it, to take Xuzhou, when he and Benchu surrounded Qingzhou, broke Zhang Liao, and was ashamed of the snow!" ”
Xi Zhicai frowned and was silent, he had carefully investigated Zhang Liao's intelligence since Cao Cao was defeated by Zhang Liao's men last time, and analyzed Zhang Liao's development process, this investigation was shocked to find that Zhang Liao's starting point was much lower than Cao Cao's, but the speed of development was rapid, from a worthless military marquis five years ago, to Sima, Du Lieutenant, Lieutenant, Zhonglang General, Hedong Taishou, Zhi Jinwu, Si Li's Captain, and the general of Zhengbei led the state pastor, until now he is the general of Zhengdong to lead the Qingzhou pastor, and the official position of the state pastor still exists, so the development experience, Such a force even surpassed Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu!
Looking at Zhang Liao's record again, Hanoi defeated Wang Kuang and Yuan Shao, Xingyang broke Cao Cao and Bao Xin, Sour Zao broke the 100,000 army of the princes, took Yingchuan, defeated Sun Jian, and the Battle of Luoyang showed its edge again, and he heard from the people from Chang'an that Zhang Liao was also famous in Guanzhong, and the name of Zhang Liao was unknown to Li Dao and Guo Yan, who were deterring and domineering, and even Guanzhong and Hongnong. How can such a character be underestimated?
Xi Zhicai didn't think that Yuan Shao was Zhang Liao's opponent, this time Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, he always asked Cao Cao to guard against Zhang Liao, but until now Zhang Liao has not taken any action, he always feels a little bad.
Cao Cao watched the drama Zhicai was silent, knowing that he was still worried, and persuaded in a harmonious voice: "Zhicai is too worried, let's go and rest first, see that I will break Tancheng within three days and capture Tao Qian alive!" ”
"Brother! Big things are not good! ”
As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, he saw Cao Hong, who was leading the rear army, hurriedly running over.
Cao Cao saw Cao Hong's panicked expression, a sigh in his heart, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said in a deep voice: "Zilian, what happened?" But Zhang Liao came to attack? ”
Cao Hong cried and said: "Brother, it's not Zhang Liao, it's Zhang Miao, Miaocai sent someone to report, Yanzhou Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others rebelled, and Yinglu Bu was the pastor of Yanzhou, and now only the three cities of Juancheng, Dong'e, and Fanxian are still in Yanzhou, and the rest are all rebelling." ”
