Li Jingtun soldiers Xinye, Shang master and apprentice soldiers Biyang, forming a two-sided attack on Wancheng.

Yu Ban also discovered Li Jing's plan, and hurriedly sent someone back to Xuchang to ask for reinforcements. Cao Cao has not stayed in Xuchang for the past two years, he has been developing Yecheng.

In the final analysis, Xuchang is just a medium-sized county town, and he is not a seat of governance in Yingchuan County, nor is it a military location. At the beginning, the reason why Cao Cao moved the capital to Xu County was because it was stable, and Yingchuan at that time was considered Cao Cao's rear, and there were no enemies in front and back. At that time, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu had not yet attacked Wancheng, and Liu Bei did not cause trouble to Runan, so Cao Cao chose Xuchang to settle the emperor.

But since Zhang Yi's rise, Xuchang has become increasingly insecure, and Cao Cao has considered moving the capital again. Although the little emperor is no longer very obedient, he is still Cao Cao's biggest political support. The appointment of the princes through the emperor's watch alone was a very good means of keeping everyone at his disposal.

The only one who is the least constrained is Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi's attitude is to ignore it. For the emperor to come, it is a perfunctory past with good food and drink, neither listening to the propaganda nor listening to the tune, I will suffer if I am promoted, and I will pretend to be deaf and dumb when I am demoted.

For such a person, Cao Cao always has a feeling that a mouse has no way to pull a turtle, and Cao Cao also organized many people to condemn Zhang Yi, but Zhang Yi just ignored it, he didn't fight back, and he didn't even prohibit the spread. But there are always people who turn out to help Zhang Yi speak, Zhang Yi himself has an intelligence agency, and the propaganda in his territory is pervasive, and Cao Cao's condemnation is not believed at all in Jingyang Erzhou.

Even if the family is restricted in Zhang Yi's territory, they will not speak ill of Zhang Yi. Although they are subject to many restrictions, they only do not have much land to acquire. Zhang Yi limited the amount of land they had, but in vast and sparsely populated places, Zhang Yi still allowed the family to contract arable land, both in Jiaozhou and Yizhou. But very few people contract, because they have been attracted by the sea trade, it is too profitable, and every family participating in the sea trade has made a lot of money.

Driven by interests, the family certainly supports Zhang Yi. They even wanted to support Zhang Yi's Northern Expedition and take the Central Plains, so that they could earn more benefits.

Cao Cao handed over Xuchang to Xun Yu to manage, and Xun Yu certainly knew the importance of completion for Xuchang, and he immediately sent Xuchang's guard Cao Hong to lead troops to support Yu Ban. Runan Cao Ren's side couldn't move, because he had been competing with Xue Rengui in Runan.

Xue Rengui was put in Runan by Zhang Yi, which was used by him to threaten Xuchang, and Li Tong had proved that ordinary generals could not resist Xue Rengui at all, so Cao Cao used Cao Ren to defend. Cao Ren is Cao Wei's number one general, and that's why he is still inferior when he fights Xue Rengui, and he has no time to take care of other places.

Cao Hong's ability is still there, but it's not very strong! But who let him once save Cao Cao and also fund Cao Cao's comeback? Therefore, Cao Hong's status has always been very high, even higher than Xiahou Yuan, who once served as Cao Hong's deputy.

However, Cao Cao also knew Cao Hong's ability, so he gave him two young talents as deputies, one was Cao Xiu, a thousand-mile horse who had already performed before, and the other was Xiahou Shang. Many people have heard of Cao Xiu, but Xiahou Shang is not so famous. Xiahou Shang is also a young talent, he has a good relationship with Cao Pi, when Cao Cao pacified Jizhou, Xiahou Shang was recruited with the army as a military commander, and then was awarded the post of general of the five officials, as Cao Hong's deputy.

Cao Hong took Cao Xiu and Xiahou Shang to march to Nanyang, and settled in Bowang for the rear wing of the ban. The combined military strength of the two had 60,000 men, 20,000 for Bowang, 20,000 for Bowang, and 10,000 each for Niyang and Jianyang.

There are a total of 70,000 monks and apprentices in Li Jing, 50,000 in Xinyetun and 20,000 in Biyangtun.

Knowing that Cao Hong had come to support, Li Jing immediately sent a letter to Master Shang and his apprentices, ordering him to go north from Biyang and attack Yexian, posing as an attack on Xuchang. If Cao Hong retreats, he will ambush Cao Hong. If Cao Hong does not retreat, then he will really raid Xuchang and deter the Central Plains.

After Master Shang received Li Jing's order, he immediately began to go north.

And Li Jing himself led a large army north to Yuyang, and the troops pressed Thornyang.

Yu Ban also followed the transfer, and let Li Dian and Li Tongbing join forces and station them in Jianyang.

In this way, the two sides hoarded 90,000 troops between Thornyang and Yuyang, and then the two sides attacked back and forth. Li Jing sent his subordinates Qin Qiong, Gao Changgong, and Wang Yanzhang to constantly look for flaws in Yu Ban. Yu Ban saw the moves, and kept mobilizing Li Dian and Li Tong to defend.

At that time, Yu Ban quickly discovered that he couldn't beat the other party. It's not just that the soldiers and fierce generals are inferior, but even he is proud of the fact that the command is not as strong as the other party. This frightened Yu Ban, and after losing nearly 3,000 soldiers, Yu Ban immediately asked all battalions to hold the camp tightly and not allow them to leave the camp at will. Since you can't beat the opponent, let's defend! As long as it holds out for a few months, the other side will definitely withdraw its troops.

Yu Ban guarded the camp tightly, and Li Jing of course had a way to force him to fight, and he didn't need anything else, just to use a well fence and trebuchet to attack one of Yu Ban's camps and force other camps to come to the rescue.

Yu Ban suddenly became in a dilemma, if he didn't save this camp, it would be counted as a few thousand people, and he would definitely have to fight, and he would lose a lot of people if he went to war. But there is no way, if you don't save it, your morale will definitely be low. Yu Ban left the camp, but he had other plans. Yu Ban personally killed the soldiers who attacked the camp, and then retreated to Wancheng with the army outside Jianyang City, retreated into Wancheng, and defended the city.

The defense of Thorn Yang was handed over to Li Dian and Li Tong, but Yu Ban did not give up Thorn Yang, because Wancheng was more than twenty miles away from Thorn Yang, and the cavalry could only kill it in an hour. Yu Ban wanted to use this distance as a safe distance to draw Li Jing's attention.

Li Jing surrounded Jianyang and wanted to attack, so Yu Ban took the cavalry over and cruised around. Li Jing couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, Yu Ban's tactic is playing a scoundrel! He doesn't have many troops, so he can't completely surround Thorn Yang, and if he wants to attack the city, he still has to be contained, and there are too few actions that can be done.

Li Jing had no choice but to let Gao Changgong lead 3,000 cavalry to roam between Jianyang and Wancheng, and if he could, he would fight, and if he couldn't, he would come back to report the news. And his large army could only throw stones inside the city outside the city of Thornyang. As for the siege, don't think about it, let's wait for the results on the side of Master Shang and apprentices!
