Chapter 347: Miscalculation

Wen Ping can be regarded as a good hand in Jingzhou, and he is also brave and good at fighting when he is leveling the Yellow Turban, but he is reluctant to lead troops north this time.

When Jiang Sheng's army was rampant in the north, the Jingzhou army was singing and dancing, and now Jiang Shengjun, who had been in battle for a long time, had just washed the blood off his armor, got a full rest, and was full of passion for fighting.

But Liu Biao is the kind of person who has a cerebral convulsion, how good it is to guard Jingzhou in a good manner, he has to respond to Cao Cao and do this kind of thing that harms others and is not beneficial to himself.

Wen Ping didn't know, but Kuai Yue knew very well that Liu Biao wanted revenge.

The one who donated money to build Luoyang City was the Liangzi between Jiang Sheng and Liu Biao, didn't everyone pay for it? But the entire county order of Nanjun has become Liu Yan's person, Liu Yan's power is in Bashu Yizhou, but his sons Liu Fan, Liu Mao, and Liu Zhang have become the county commanders of the three major counties of Jingzhou Nanjun, which makes Liu Biao feel like a fish in his throat.

But this is the appointment of the imperial court, Liu Biao is advertised as loyal and patriotic, and has to be executed, Liu Yan's three sons, especially that Liu Zhang, did not listen to the dispatch of Nanjun Taishou at all, and Nanjun Taishou failed several crusades.

Liu Biao vented this resentment on Jiang Sheng's side, Cao Cao passed it over, and it was in Liu Biao's arms, although Kuai Liang and Cai Mao dissuaded him many times, Liu Biao insisted on going his own way, and finally even "whoever admonishes again is against him Liu Biao" The words came out.

Speaking of which, who are you going to send to lead the army? Huang Zu was stationed in Jiujiang to defend Yuan Shu and Sun Ce; Cai Mao is the commander of the Jingzhou Navy and cannot be moved lightly; Zhang Yun was stationed in Zigui to guard Liu Zhang, and the other brothers of the Cai family were not generals, so they had to let Wen Ping lead the army and Kuai Yue as his deputy.

And just like that, an army of 50,000 went north. Wen Ping's heart was bitter, as soon as he arrived at the boundary of Nanyang, the scout sent a message that Lu Bu, the captain of Chang'an, sent an army of 50,000 to attack Nanyang, and the leader was Li Tong.

The 5,000 forwards inexplicably fell into Li Tong's pocket formation, and in less than a day's ambush battle, the vanguard was broken, and only dozens of horsemen fled back in embarrassment.

Kuai Yue was furious, "General Wen, please divide my 20,000 soldiers and horses, and I will meet this Li Tong!" ”

Wen Ping was very irritable and reprimanded: "Li Tong's 50,000 soldiers and horses have all experienced bloody battles, and all of them have the courage of ten thousand people, how many of the Jingzhou soldiers we brought have really fought?" ”

"Why does General Wen want to destroy his own prestige and grow the morale of others? My Jingzhou soldiers are not idle people, and the outcome is not yet known! ”

Wen Ping said: "Kuai Yue, I will take 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack in a roundabout way and go straight to Luoyang, and you will command the rest of the soldiers and horses to monitor the enemy army and protect the grain road." ”

Kuai Yue was disdainful and said: "I went out of Jingzhou to charge, but I didn't come to protect the grain road for you. ”

Wen Ping was annoyed in his heart, Liu Biao relied on two major families, one was the Cai family, which was his wife's maiden family, and the other was the Kuai family, relying on financial resources. Wen Ping is a soldier from the army, he has no power or power, and he fights with a knife and a gun, so Kuai Yue dares to speak like this.

"The military order is like a mountain, I am the main general, General Kuai will not disobey the military order, right?"

Kuai Yue was helpless, "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Wen Ping then transferred troops and horses, so that Kuai Yue made a decisive gesture with Li Tong, and led 30,000 soldiers and horses straight north, avoiding Li Tong's defense area, and went straight to Luoyang.

Besides, after Yuan Shu's Ji Ling's troops entered Yuzhou, they relied on their superior forces to enter a no-man's land, and many counties and townships along the way either collapsed at the touch of a button, or fled in despair.

Liu Bei didn't stay in Yuzhou for a long time, and took away the elite soldiers and horses of the county, and later took them to Xuzhou.

On the one hand, he sent 800 miles of fast horses to inform the counties to mobilize the people to defend the city, and on the other hand, he sent people to ask Zhang Liao for help, and the current recent army is only Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao sent more than 1,000 scouts to observe the progress of Li Tong's army, and learned that Li Tong had intercepted the Jingzhou army in Nanyang, so he dispatched an army of 40,000 to Yuzhou to resist Ji Ling's offensive.

The defense of Yuzhou is really too poor, Zhang Liao's army has not arrived, Ji Ling has driven straight in, and quickly took a large area of land in Runan, and Cao Cao's Xiahou Yuan took advantage of the undecided situation in Yuzhou to go south to occupy Liang State, Liu Bei was stationed in Xiaopei when he was appointed as a pastor in Yuzhou, but after taking over Xuzhou, he stayed in Zang Ba and did not leave, that is to say, Tian Feng, the Yuzhou pastor, currently only has two places, Chen State and Yingchuan County.

Tian Feng raised 10,000 soldiers and horses, and was beaten back as soon as he sent troops to Runan, and Ji Ling's toughness was not comparable to ordinary people.

Tian Feng said secretly: "Lord, you handed over Yuzhou to me, but you didn't give me soldiers, what can I do?" ”

At that time, Jiang Sheng's team didn't expect Cao Cao to play this hand, so they organized a crusade against Jiang Sheng during the Youzhou War, and at the beginning they all felt that there was no reason at all.

Later, when Xun Yu analyzed the reason in combination with the intelligence of Yanzhou, Jiang Sheng vaguely knew that Yuan Shao's wife Liu had entered Cao Cao's bed, and Cao Cao recorded in history was the master of the wife who loved people. Liu's wind blew on the pillow, Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang and Yuan Shao's old subordinates fanned the flames, and Cao Cao was ready to move.

Mao Jie, Liu Ye, Cheng Yu and other strategists also analyzed the situation of Yanzhou for Cao Cao, there are Qingzhou and Jizhou in the north, and Yuzhou and Luoyang in the west, all of which are Jiang Sheng's forces, if you don't take the opportunity to weaken Jiang Sheng now, Jiang Sheng's family will definitely be dominant in the future, and there will be no way to restrain Jiang Sheng's power in the world.

In this way, Cao Cao strengthened his determination, but he did not expect to be quickly responded to by Liu Bei, Liu Biao, and Yuan Shu, and Yan Baihu and Wang Lang in the south also waved their flags and shouted for it.

In fact, what Cao Cao wants to win over the most is Ma Teng and Han Sui, once united, Jiang Sheng is a two-front battle, and it is difficult to take care of things, and the news from the credible envoy is that Ma Teng and Han Sui are fighting inextricably, and Cao Cao has to give up.

Tian Feng's appointment was made without anticipating Cao Cao's hand. At the beginning, Tao Qian died of illness and gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei, Liu Bei also organized Xuzhou soldiers and horses to fight a few battles with Cao Cao's Xiahou Yuan, who would have thought that Liu Bei would reconcile with Cao Cao so soon.

After Tian Feng arrived, Jiang Sheng intended to let Dian Wei serve as the general of Yuzhou, but Dian Wei's affairs were not transferred because of the Liaodong War, so they were not in place.

Tian Feng sighed: "The lord has given me a great responsibility, but I have encountered such a situation, how can I go to see the lord?" ”

He pulled out his short sword and was about to kill himself, when he heard a person outside the window say: "I have heard the name of Tian Fengxian for a long time, how did you end up like this?" ”

Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, put down the short sword, and shouted outside the door: "Where is sacred? Please come in and see you! ”

A scholar outside pushed the door and walked in, "My lord, but I wonder why the guards didn't stop me?" ”

Tian Feng inserted the short sword back into its sheath, "The guards are not here, so it must be useless to defend, so I simply went to rest." I wonder what you have to say when you come here late at night? ”

"It's not that the guards are resting, it's that there are no guards at all."

"Y-how do you know?"

"My lord, Ji Ling, who is known for his courage in leading the army to resist as a civil servant, didn't he hit a stone with an egg? The guards of the adults protect the adults and retreat, I'm afraid that no one will survive, right? ”

"Who the hell are you?"
