Chapter 551: Heavyweight Suspicious Soldier
"Now that Ziwei has made a decision in his heart, the two of us will never interfere, but no matter what, Ziwei will return safely, this Central Plains land is good, but if there is difficulty, it should never be forced."
These words came out of Sun Shangxiang's mouth, and Liu Feng knew that Sun Shangxiang was fully mature at this time, and had the mind and qualifications that an emperor should have, of course, this meaning must be the result of her and Meng Yao's discussion, but it came out of Sun Shangxiang's mouth at this time.
"This expedition, at least a few months, more than a year, although the time is longer, but after returning from this expedition, there should be no need to conquer the Central Plains in this life!"
Even in front of their two wives, Liu Feng's domineering spirit also shocked their hearts, originally the two of them were still a little worried about whether Liu Feng could defeat Cao Zhi, who had been operating in the hinterland of the Central Plains for a long time, but when they saw Liu Feng's momentum, their hearts suddenly settled down.
As early as after Liu Feng made this plan, the two ladies had already heard of it, but they didn't know which day such a moment would come, and when it finally came to this day, they didn't have the same worries in their hearts as before, and some just had great confidence in Liu Feng.
Because of tonight's action in the entire Xiangyang City only Liu Feng, Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun three people learned, so Liu Feng after bidding farewell to the two ladies, directly led Li Chuang and a group of shadow guards quietly out of the city, in the western suburbs of Xiangyang City, Zhao Yun has led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to wait for Liu Feng here, their destination is Weixing County, and in Shangyong City, there are already people and horses in response to them, once the purpose of this trip is achieved, Liu Feng will take Shangyong directly to Yangping Pass.
At this time, in Weixing County, as a county quite close to Shangyong, an important town in the hands of Liu Feng, it was being guarded by no less than 50,000 troops led by Li Dian, a general under Cao Zhi.
Wei Xing is just a small county newly created by Cao Cao when he first established the Wei State, whether it is population or region, it is not comparable to other large counties in the Central Plains, but it is just regarded as the gateway to Luoyang, so Cao Zhi thinks that it is enough to have Li Dian lead an army of 50,000, and no matter how bad it is, a large army can be drawn from Luoyang to support.
When the night was almost over, it was the most sleepy time of the day, outside Xicheng County, where the county of Weixing County was located, a team of people and horses had already quietly arrived, they used the night to avoid the eyes of the soldiers guarding the city of the Wei army, pulled a small catapult to the city wall not far from the city wall of Xicheng County, and silently aimed at the city wall of Xicheng County.
This sergeant was personally commanded by Liu Feng and Zhao Yun, and their purpose today was to take down this county close to Shangyong, where the county of Weixing County was located, because although Li Dian's garrison was not far from here, it would still take some time to rush here.
With Liu Feng's order, the stones on the catapult shot like locusts at the city walls and gates, and the few defenders in the city were in confusion.
Although Li Dian had repeatedly emphasized the idea that Liu Feng was very likely to come here to attack when he first came here to garrison, but with the passage of this half a year, there has been peace and quiet here, so in recent months, the defenders of Weixing County have slightly relaxed their precautions against Jingzhou, in their opinion, Liu Feng's previous actions, including Zhu Wen, are just a little intimidating, with Liu Feng's strength in Jingzhou, it is obviously very difficult to take all Wei and defeat Cao Zhi in one fell swoop.
But this round of stone attacks in the middle of the night made the Wei army finally believe that Liu Feng's previous actions were not caused by a moment of excitement, and for more than half a year, Liu Feng had been preparing for the attack on Wei, and finally today, their actions came......
The defenders in Xicheng County knew that it would be absolutely difficult for these defenders in their city to resist the attack of Liu Feng's army, but fortunately, Li Dian's station was not far away from the city of Xicheng County, and the defenders immediately sent their subordinates to inform Li Dian after being attacked.
But with the ability of Liu Feng and Zhao Yun, how could they not be prepared for such a situation, the sergeant who went to report the news had just left the city, and not far away, he was shot and killed by the Jingzhou sergeant who had already ambushed him in the direction of Li Dian's station.
Half an hour has passed, an hour has passed, Li Dian's reinforcements are still nowhere to be heard, and the guards in Xicheng County saw that the tiger and wolf division of Jingzhou had almost broken through the city gate, so they could only withdraw from the north gate of Xicheng with a hard head, and in this way, in less than two hours, Liu Feng and Zhao Yun captured Wei Xing's county seat in Xicheng County in one fell swoop.
This blitzkrieg is not very difficult for Liu Feng and Zhao Yun, and in this attack, Liu Feng and Zhao Yun's biggest purpose is not for such an unimportant city as Xicheng, but to let Li Dian, who is stationed not far north of Xicheng County, know that Liu Feng personally went on the expedition, and his breakthrough is the place where Sima Yi sent troops before, Wei Xing, once Wei Xing is broken, Liu Feng's army will drive straight in, Luoyang will be in danger, and once Luoyang is captured by Liu Feng again, Yecheng will become a lonely city. It's hard to get things done.
Therefore, Wei Xing, as the barrier of Luoyang, has an extremely important role in the Wei State, and Cao Zhi sent the always steady Li Dian here, which is enough to see that he has taken precautions against this possibility of Liu Feng.
However, just like the situation faced by several other important places, Cao Zhi wanted to strengthen the defense of every place where Liu Feng might attack, and the result could only be that every place seemed to be heavily armed, but every place did not really form a sense of attention.
When Li Dian learned that Liu Feng personally led the army to capture Xicheng County with lightning speed, he was shocked, he did not immediately organize a counterattack in order to take Xicheng back from Liu Feng's hands, but while building a defense line in another city where he was located, he sent someone to inform Cao Zhi of Yecheng about the matter, and explained to Cao Zhi that Liu Feng personally led the army here this time, plus Zhao Yun, the strength should not be underestimated, as for who else in the formation, although Li Dian did not know, But he guessed that such an action would not only be Liu Feng and Zhao Yun, Liu Feng and Zhao Yun might just be the vanguard of this attack, the most likely situation is that there are still large forces behind them, in that case, Li Dian's 50,000 people are not enough, he doesn't want to become a victim of Liu Feng's attack, so he can only slightly exaggerate some of the difficulties faced at this time.
