The fifteenth attack on Puyang Cao Ren retreated

The Xuanjia Army was a cavalry in the early Tang Dynasty, and Zhang Yi didn't know much about the Xuanjia Army. What he knew was that this cavalry was created by Li Shimin, and it was a very strong cavalry, and its main generals were Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Wei Chigong and Zhai Changsun were the generals of this cavalry, and they helped Li Shimin defeat many enemies.

Zhang Yi has always wanted to have an elite cavalry team, and now he can finally form an elite cavalry. It's just that I don't know if Zhai Changsun's Xuanjia characteristic can be trained, comparable to the cavalry of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Not a few days after Cao Ren arrived in Puyang, Xue Rengui followed, which made Cao Ren's heart collapse. Fortunately, he was also prepared, knowing that Puyang might not be able to keep it, he had already sent someone to prepare a ship.

Puyang is not far from the river, and the moat is connected to the river, so he is not in a hurry to withdraw, and splices the tall city wall of Puyang to block the pursuers. It's too demoralizing to always retreat.

Xue Rengui was not busy attacking, he still had plenty of time. The area of Xuchang and Chenliu can be said to be the land of Cao Cao's cavalry, and I don't know if there will be a rebellion. He was in such a hurry to go north, on the one hand, to pursue Cao Ren and take over Yanzhou as soon as possible. On the other hand, it also has the meaning of luring the snake out of the hole.

This hand Li Jing used when he was in Wu County, killing dozens of powerful families, as many as thousands. Now Xue Rengui also uses this hand, and the effect is remarkable.

As many as ten counties in Chenliu County and Xuchang rebelled, and the remaining defenders held on to the city walls, waiting for Lu Xun to come over to extinguish the rebellion.

After Lu Xun and Xue Rengui converged, he concealed his whereabouts and lurked in the area of Chenliu County. When the military report of the rebellion in the ten counties reached him, Lu Xun immediately planned the marching route and led his troops to kill these rebellions.

Like Wu Jun, the rebels were all from some wealthy families, and they were all from those families that were not very big. Those big families know the way to survive, and they will never participate in rebellion, whoever rules will work for whom, and if you don't want to serve, you won't be out of office, there is no need to joke with the whole family.

When these big families are hidden, even the emperor can't do much with them. But once these families participate in the rebellion, then they will definitely be uprooted.

History is very clear, the Zhong family can be said to be extremely prominent when Zhong Xuan was there, but after the Zhong Society rebelled, the Zhong family disappeared from the historical stage.

The four major families of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were all prominent, but each of them did not stay because they participated in the power struggle. If the Maison wants to preserve, it cannot become the target of public criticism.

These rebellious families suddenly became birds, but they were shot by Lu Xun's hidden arrow in less than ten days.

Lu Xun quelled the rebellion in ten counties, captured 10,000 people, beheaded hundreds of main culprits in accordance with Chinese law, and obtained a total of more than 2,000 ranks. 10,000 people were sentenced to hard labor and served 20 years in prison and sent to Pengcheng.

The rebellion in the ten counties affected the grain route from Wancheng to Puyang, so that Xue Rengui's grain and grass were not very sufficient, and he could only rely on the grain transported from Runan for temporary support.

There is still a lot of grain transported from Runan, but it is slightly insufficient to supply Su Lie and LΓΌ Meng's troops, nearly 100,000 troops.

Fortunately, the grain road was broken for ten days, and Lu Xun opened up the grain road. After half a month, Xue Rengui's food supply has been restored.

Cao Ren stayed in Puyang for half a month, and found that the enemy army did not attack the city, and he also felt very strange. A few days later, he heard that there was a rebellion in Xuchang and Chenliu, which made him lose a sigh of relief.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and Cao Ren used this time to rectify the soldiers and restore morale. He sent Cao Zhen back to Yecheng and asked Cao Pi to send someone to answer in Liyang.

Liyang was once the garrison of Cao Cao, Yuan Tan and others, and in the north of the river, guarding the throat of Jizhou. It can be used to block enemy troops from crossing the river with the river, and it can be said that it is the most important defensive point to Yecheng.

The land north of the Central Plains is mostly plains, there is no strategic danger at all, if Liyang is lost, the enemy army can drive straight in, and the army will come to Yecheng. When Cao Cao attacked Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, it was like this, after Liyang defeated Yuan Tan, he besieged Yecheng, but later he had to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and see the soldiers who withdrew after the two Yuan infighting.

Now, Cao Ren thinks that he can't keep Puyang for a long time, so he naturally has to arrange it in Liyang first.

At the same time, Cao Ren also sent a letter to Zhang Liao and Le Jin in Rencheng, asking them to retreat quickly. After he evacuated Puyang, Xue Rengui's army attacked eastward, they could not resist at all, and Cao Wei could no longer lose generals.

Zhang Liao and Le Jin received Cao Ren's letter and immediately discussed.

"The enemy army is strong, the general has been defeated all the way, and Puyang can't stop it. If Xue Rengui advances eastward, we will inevitably become repeating the mistakes of the generals. It's just that now I retreat, and I'm unwilling. Zhang Liao handed Cao Ren's letter to Le Jin and said unwillingly.

After Le Jin saw it, he was much more decisive than Zhang Liao, he didn't have so many thoughts, "Since the general has an order, we will do it." ”

Zhang Liao said: "If we retreat, we will inevitably retreat to Hebei, and I intend to retreat to Qinghe State, and then intercede east to Bohai County." ”

Le Jin thought for a moment, "The Bohai Sea is too far, and it is close to the sea, so it is easy for the enemy to attack. ”

Zhang Liao said: "If Yanzhou is lost, the imperial court will only have three states, and if the Bohai Sea is lost again, it will be attacked by Zhang Yi on both sides, and it will be very difficult to defend Yecheng." ”

Le Jin was still not optimistic about defending the Bohai Sea, he said: "Please ask Your Majesty to decide!" ”

The two discussed for a long time, but they didn't come up with a result, so they could only withdraw the whole army to Qinghe Country first.

Zhang Liao and Le Jin withdrew their troops, and Tang He immediately followed up, but Zhang Liao was well prepared and did not give Tang He a chance.

Tang He could only let Yue Fei and Shan Xiongxin divide their troops and lead people to take a detour to carry out the robbery. However, Zhang Liao and Le Jin were not in love with war, and continued to evacuate when they encountered Yue Fei and Shan Xiongxin, and chose the road that was difficult for the cavalry to pursue, and got rid of the cavalry of the two again and again.

In the end, Zhang Liao and Lejin withdrew to Qingheguo, Cao Ren withdrew to Liyang, and most of the Yanzhou area was left to Zhang Yi.

Xue Rengui and Tang He immediately ordered troops to divide their troops to seize the counties of Yanzhou, and then formed five armies to garrison on the south bank of the river, with Xue Rengui, LΓΌ Meng, Su Lie, Tang He, and Wang Meng as commanders.

Gao Changgong and Wei Rui are in the north of the river, forming a containment of Yecheng. At this point, Zhang Yi's strategy formulated at the beginning of the year has been fully realized, and all armies have stayed here.

Lu Xun was transferred to Pengcheng by Zhang Yi, returned to his old job, and became the commander of the road construction force. However, this time it is not a road to be built, but a large canal connecting Huaishui and the river, which is connected to the canal between the river and the Huaishui that was built before.
