Chapter 270 Cao Cao Returns to Aid Liu Ming is missing
More than ten years ago, Liu Bei, the prime minister of the plains, wanted to defend the Yellow Turban siege city, and introduced the river water into the surrounding county town, forming a moat in the city, and erecting a suspension bridge at each city gate.

After the road was recruited, it was even more perfected, and after receiving Cao Hong's notice, all the county soldiers in the plains were transferred to the county seats, coupled with his usual deliberate training of county soldiers and township braves, so that the plain county town formed a strong city, which gave Peng Hu enough suffering.
Although Peng Hu had nearly 60,000 people, he could not be surrounded on all sides by the fortified city of the plain, and he was even more worried that after the troops were dispersed, Lu Zhao suddenly rushed out of the city and attacked the camp at night. can only surround two and leave two, so as to make way to abandon the city and flee.
Who knew that this trick was actually a die-hard, not only did not run, but also stubbornly resisted, and attacked for more than ten days, unable to take it. And the reason why Peng Hu wants to storm the plain is also a last resort, because this road move will collect all the grain in the plain counties in the county town, if it is not for some unsightly heroes, refuse to levy grain, let Peng Hu find a reason to openly rob, this food is a problem, what is even more terrible is that the road move will be rich and powerful grain most of the grain into the city.
The two county lieutenants glanced back, saw that no one was silent behind them, and walked towards the city.
The county lieutenant's action made Lu Zhao a little puzzled, how could these two not have a little bit of the county lieutenant's domineering? It's like a soft egg. Seeing that half of these county soldiers had left, they immediately shouted: "That one is named and told me about his own address, and his parents are named." ā
made Yurenhu, who was walking beside this person, startled, but fortunately he didn't mean himself. Yuwenhu is not very tall, but he is strong, but he is wearing armor and he still can't see it from the outside. Yu Wenhu pushed the person next to him and whispered, "Call you!" Say it bluntly, don't be afraid! ā
These county soldiers stammered and reported the name of the county magistrate and the time of office. And the accent is also a pure Lingxian accent
Lu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said secretly: "It's because I'm suspicious!" ā
Then he waved his hand, let them come in quickly! After saying that, he walked down the city wall.
Just as Lu Zhao had just returned home, suddenly the doorman ran in in a hurry and reported: "My lord! Oh no! The county soldiers occupied the city gate, and the Xinghan army attacked the city! ā
Lu Zhao was surprised!
"What? How did the county soldiers and soldiers occupy the city gates, and how did the Xinghan army enter? Come on! ā
The doorman said, "It's too late, let's go!" If it's late, you can't go! ā
Lu Zhao said angrily: "I don't believe that thousands of county soldiers can seize my city gate, what are the tens of thousands of troops in my city doing?" Hurry up and notify the garrison to come to the aid immediately, and kill all the thousands of county soldiers! Is it really the other way around? ā
The doorman hurriedly said: "They are not county soldiers at all, no!" Yes, most of them are not. As soon as they entered the city, they seized the gates, and they were very vicious, and many of them spoke with the accent of the people of razor or karsuma. Just as I was giving the order to send a large army to help, suddenly countless light horsemen rushed from afar, carrying torches to the city gate, and the county soldiers immediately took out a white silk silk from their bosoms and put it on their arms.
As soon as the light cavalry entered, they slashed at our army, and then slaughtered all the way to another city gate. At this moment, another city gate also came out shouting and killing, these people looked like razors, and the wall was like flying, attacking inside and outside, and the entire city gate was lost.
When the Xinghan army was pushing into the city, many of our army's troops were not visible at night, so they had to hide in the homes of the people. If the adults don't leave, it's too late. ā
Lu Zhao saw the torches gradually approaching, and the houses of some households were also burned, sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw!" After saying that, he hurriedly ran to the inner house, called his family members, and immediately fled to the other city gate with a group of cronies and subordinates.
Without the command of the road move, tens of thousands of people still have the fighting spirit there, and they fled for their lives, and some simply laid down their weapons, pretended to be ordinary people, and hid at home without moving. After dawn, they were also searched out by the Xinghan army one by one.
More than 20,000 county soldiers and county soldiers, except for a few thousand killed in the battle and a few thousand who escaped from the city, were all captured, and many households were also burned by the fire.
Looking at hundreds of thousands of grains, Liu Shi said secretly: "This trick is really ruthless!" It's trying to starve us! ā
In the next few days, Liu Shi ordered Peng Hu to move all the grain to Leling and Yici, in addition to keeping enough for his army for ten days, and use those county soldiers to transport it! ā
As for the captured thousands of soldiers in Ganling County, most of them did not dare to return to the county, and they all stayed. According to their requirements, Liu Shi met the conditions, and those who were willing to join the army joined the Xinghan Army, and those who were unwilling moved to live in the area of Leling and Yici, and if their families were willing, they agreed that their families would also secretly move people over, and each person would be given a few acres of land.
At this time, an urgent report came: "Cao Cao personally rushed back to Qingzhou with an army of 80,000, and Gongsun Xu was driven back to the east of Duchang by Cao Cao." The eldest prince and Xiang Xiongbu were cut off by Cao Cao's detour and did not know where to go.
Ganning received the help of Pang Junshi, defeated Zhang Liao, captured Licheng, and suddenly heard that Cao Cao had returned, and Gongsun Xu's troops were repulsed, and they also led their troops to retreat to Le'an. ā
When Liu Shi heard that Liu Ming and Xiang Xiong were cut off by Cao Cao's sneak attack, and they didn't know where to go, their faces changed, and they immediately ordered: "Order Peng Hu to immediately abandon the plain, take away all the grain that can be taken away from the official mansion, lead the troops to retreat to Gaoguo and Ande, step up the repair of the city wall, and prepare for defense." ā
Liu Shi chased Ganning and Pang Tong all the way in Cangxian.
When Pang Tongyi saw Liu Shi, he sighed: "This Qingzhou is really a good place, the land is fertile and the water is sufficient, as long as we are given another two months, no!" Even a month can consolidate Licheng and tie up the mouth in the southwest of Qingzhou. Then use the danger of Mount Tai to hold the south, the east Lang is even more strange peaks staggered, the mountain road is meandering, it is also a natural barrier, it's a pity! What a pity! He kept shaking his head.
Gan Ning said: "Ning failed to take Qingzhou!" Please, the Lord punishes you! ā
Liu Shi shook his head calmly and said, "In just over a month, it's good that you can do this!" It's just that the next step is to prepare for a big battle with Cao Cao, and you can't take it lightly. What are you going to do? ā
He looked at Pang Tong again and said: "Originally, you wanted to enter Qingzhou to defend Beihai County with Gongsun Xu, Xiang Xiong and others, but now that Cao Cao personally came to help, it is no longer possible to capture Beihai County." Gongsun Xu has retreated to Jimo and other mountains and forests, and defended according to the danger.
Xiang Xiong, Mi Zhu and other thousands of troops were cut off by Cao Cao, thinking that they were preparing to be surrounded, but they did not hear the news that Xiang Xiong's troops were destroyed, and now they don't know where to go. I have ordered Peng Hu to retreat to Gaoguo, the front line of Ande, you will stay in the Ganning Department, and assist Ganning to hold the area from Zixiu County, Gaoguo, Ande to East Chaoyang, Linji, and Bochang, and continue to form a horn with Gongsun. If you can't do it, you will retreat to the north of the river. ā
Pang Tong and Gan Ning were shocked!
"What? The eldest prince is missing? What's going on? The faces of the two changed greatly!
Everyone knows in their hearts what the eldest prince Liu Ming means to the lord! What does it mean for the Xinghan Army? Although Liu Shi has several sons, Liu Ming is a son-in-law.
