Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoChapter 60: (Returning to Nanyang) On May 28 of the first year of Hongguang, Shangguan Yin Feng personally led 100,000 people from Jiange to return to Nanyang, and released news that he had brought an army of 150,000, in fact, except for the people who were forced to serve and those who transported grain and grass, there were less than 100,000 people who could fight; And three days ago, he sent a messenger to Nanyang to report to Cao Zhen... Just five days ago, that is, at the time of the CD war, in Luanchuan County, Nanyang, Qian Menglong led less than 2,000 Luanchuan soldiers and civilians, and launched a decisive battle with 10,000 people led by Cheng Xin, the general under He Ying, and dug up the water of the Luan River, flooded Cheng Xin, and at the cost of 500 dead and wounded, severely damaged Cheng Xin's department, so that it did nothing in the next month, and formed a stalemate with Qian Menglong's department, and it was also this battle that made Qian Menglong, a small general, become a general under Shangguan Yin Feng in the future. And the centurion under Qian Menglong smiled and deserved to be the best, which is also a later story... In Nanyang, He Ying's army went down to Nanzhao, Zhenping, and Neixiang counties, so that there was no danger around Nanyang to defend, and He Ying's army formed a three-sided encirclement of Nanyang within one day, and the reason why it did not encircle the west gate of Nanyang was also a back road left by He Ying considering the face of Sun Long, the prince of Changsha, and Cao Zhen, and He Ying's ultimate goal was only to occupy Nanyang... But he said that Cao Zhenbu, the 50,000 horses left by Shangguan Yin Feng to him from the beginning of half a month of resistance to the present, there are less than 20,000 people left, and Nanyang After being besieged for ten days, the grain and grass began to run out, all of which is very unreasonable... "General Cao, if you don't take decisive measures, I'm afraid my Nanyang will not be protected..."
Cao Zhen put his hands behind his back, his brows were furrowed, Murong Xuehu and Murong Fengming, who were standing on both sides, were also silent, the words of the marching master Bo made him fall into deep thought, and the other generals in the tent were also arguing, but Murong Xuehu on the side saw that the scene was a little nervous, so he said: "Generals, be quiet, listen to a certain word..."
"Murong Xuehu, if you hadn't ordered to give up Yunyang without authorization, how could Nanzhao have been lost? If Nanzhao is now, how can the granaries of the two places in Neixiang and Pingping fall into He Ying's hands? My Nanyang's food crisis today is all related to you Murong Xuehu, have you ever thought about it? ”
One of the generals said these words sharply, which made Cao Zhen feel bad, that Murong Xuehu is Murong Xue's younger brother, if you always count it, it is Shangguan Yin Feng's brother-in-law, if you easily offend him, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to you, but the current situation is very delicate, if you cut off the future because of this matter, I am afraid that you will have ** trouble in the future, thought about it, slowly turned around, and said: "Generals, listen to me at this time, we are facing the 100,000 forbidden army under He Ying, the army of tigers and wolves, if Murong Xuehu sticks to Yunyang, I'm afraid that not only Yunyang is not protected, even those soldiers will have no bones, and He Ying will kill the people to vent his anger when he encounters strong resistance on this trip, and the people of the three places are unwilling to belong to He Jing, from this point of view, the benevolence of the lord, the world knows, if you abandon the people and ignore it, even if you recapture the city in the future, it will be useless, our foundation lies in the people, not in the grain, you insist on the food-oriented, if there is no people, where is the food, if the lord is here, he will also choose to abandon the city to protect the people... What's more, Murong Xuehu also thinks about the suffering of the people, and does not want the war to bring harm to their defenseless people..."
"General Cao is right..."
"Yes, yes, it does make sense..."
"The last general seconded..."
"The Lord will..."
Murong Xuehu was unhappy when he listened to their words on the side, and secretly thought that these people were blind and didn't know how to get along with the people, but it was Cao Zhen's words that allowed him to continue what he hadn't finished before: "What the last general wanted to say just now is no different from what the main general said, but since the generals think it's my Murong Xuehu's fault, then, Xuehu is willing to take all the responsibilities, the main general, the last general is willing to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, go to Fancheng, and transport grain and grass to Nanyang to save Nanyang's urgency..."
Seeing that Murong Xuehu was already like this, the others didn't say much, they all secretly wanted to see how the besieged Nanyang could transport grain and grass in, and the marching master Bo hurriedly said at this time: "General Cao, the danger of my Nanyang is really 300,000 people in the city, if these people can be released from the city and let them find their own way out, our army will have vitality, and there is no news from the lord's army today, if the enemy army is eager to attack the city, we can choose to abandon the city and go to Fancheng, Fancheng City is as strong as Nanyang, and Xiangyang behind him is in Changsha State, Thinking that He Ying is afraid of the face of the King of Changsha, he will definitely not force us to death, so it is better to send Nanyang to He Ying, which can also reduce the casualties of the troops..."
"Presumptuous..."
Cao Zhen shouted loudly, Shangguan Yin Feng asked him to hold Nanyang at all costs before leaving, as long as he waited until he returned to Nanyang, even if he lost the battle, it was the first merit, and now the marching master Bo let himself abandon the city, thinking about it can only cut off his Cao clan, and there will be no more on the day of recovery: "Before the lord leaves, he told him not to give up Nanyang, and he was about to fight to the death with He Ying, but you said such disturbing words in a big tent, didn't you accept He Ying's benefits, and prepared to join forces with the outside and attack me Nanyang?" ”
"General Cao, wronged, General Cao..."
"Someone..."
"In..."
"Take down this person and investigate it carefully, in the case of our army's shortage of food and grass, we must find the problem from him..."
"No..."
"Wronged, general, wronged..."
This is also a strategy that Cao Zhen suddenly thought of, almost the same as Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period, he wanted to be surnamed Cao, and his decision was basically the same, but it was not a clan, otherwise Cao Cao's family must be from a noble background, and Cao Zhen's strategy instantly raised the morale of the soldiers in Nanyang City, and all the food that was originally enough to last for three days was released, and it was wine **, and the order was given, two days later, go out of the city and fight to the death with the enemy... (Shangguan Yin Feng's army, a hundred miles away from Xichuan, the jurisdiction of Nanyang) "Husband, we have been on the road for five days in a row, haven't we arrived at Xichuan yet?" ”
Shangguan Yin Feng ate chicken legs, looked at the large group of people who followed behind him, and shook his head: "It's not a way to go on like this, you can't get to Nanyang for another ten days, the march speed of the 150,000 army is too slow, you have to think of a way..."
"Newspaper..."
A small colonel hurriedly ran in front of Guan Yinfeng's carriage on the track, and said anxiously: "Lord Qiqi, someone is coming from Xichuan..."
As soon as he heard that it was from Xichuan, Shangguan Yin Feng put down the chicken legs, stood out of the carriage, stood in front of the beam, and clapped his hands: "There will be a question immediately..."
"Lord Qi, the humble position is the general of General Han under the guard of Xichuan..."
"General Xichuan Han? Isn't it Han Chu? Say, "What did he let you do?" ”
"Returning to the lord, the inner township, Zhenping, and Nanzhao fell to the three cities, Nanyang was besieged for eleven days, the grain and grass in the city were in an emergency, and our grain delivery team was blocked by He Ying in the inner countryside and could not advance, and there were 4,000 enemy troops stationed in Xixia County, and there were less than 1,000 people in our department now, and it was difficult to defend the city, so General Han asked the humble post to come to greet him in advance, and now told the lord about the inner countryside..."
"Nima's..."
Shangguan Yin couldn't help but scold, although those people didn't understand very well, they also knew that he was very angry, and they didn't answer: "Immediately give an order, the army is divided into two teams, the front army acts immediately, the vanguard army goes first, Jia Fu, you lead the Chinese army to escort the grain and grass and then arrive..."
"No..."
"This king personally led the vanguard army to first aid Nanyang..."
"Lord, what about Xichuan and Luanchuan?"
Jia Fu's words made Shangguan Yin Feng react, and he took the night gun on the war horse, and said: "Jia Fu, you lead an army of 100,000 to relieve the danger in various parts of Xichuan, and this king will give you wine in Nanyang..."
"The last general commands..."
(Nanyang City, East Gate Urn Tower) Murong Xuehu stood on top of the city tower, looked at the ant-like crowd outside, and silently read in his heart: "It seems that this battle is not won, and we have no way to live..."
Suddenly, a general in He Ying's formation rode out of the horse, came to the safe area in front of the positioning arrow, pointed the spear in his hand at Murong Xuehu upstairs, and scolded: "Murong Xiao'er, go down to the city and die..."
"Who is this?"
"General Qiyu, this is the general under He Ying's account, Shan Hou, the general Wang Ba, who has the courage to be unstoppable, and has been in the city for a long time in the past few days..."
"Shan Hou? General Folding? It's still a marquis..."
Murong Xuehu's eyes shone brightly, staring at the king overlord who was shouting under the city...
