Chapter 418: Invitation
The so-called catching turtles in the urn and beating the dog behind closed doors is probably the best description of the current situation in Luoyang. \, 0m/Zuilu Academy
With the retreat of the Yanshi coalition army blocked, a very delicate situation has formed in the entire Luoyang region.
The 200,000 army had no way to retreat, and under the joint attack of the Tabai Army and the Xuanfeng Army, relying on Luoyang, it was squeezed in a small space from Luoyang to Beibi Mountain. There is no food and grass inside, and there are no reinforcements outside, so it can be said that there is hunger and cold.
The situation of the coalition forces is very poor......
But in the same way, it seems unlikely that Dong wants to eat these 200,000 horses in one bite.
Although he was short of food and clothing, Zhou Yu and Xiahou Yuan were not ordinary people after all, and they still built one defensive line after another around Luoyang. If Dong attacked, then this line of defense would also cause him heavy losses.
As a result, after nearly a year of confrontation, the Dong and coalition forces once again confronted each other.
This is definitely not good news for Dong. At this time, he also had to admire Zhou Yu Xiahou Yuan's resilience. Although there are deserters every day, in terms of the big picture, there is still not much change.
Stepping on the White Army and selecting the Forward Army, without taking a step forward, both need to pay a huge price.
At the same time, the battle of Youzhou, which is far away in the bitter cold land of Saibei, has come to an end......
Under the calculation of He Qi Hao Zhao, Lou Ban and Badun turned against each other. There was a bloody battle between the two sides outside Lulongse, and the result was a defeat for both sides...... At this time, Su Muyan made a very smart choice and surrendered!
He opened Lu Longsai, let the beggar army enter Liaoxi County, and cut Youzhou into two sections.
Hao Zhao launched a ferocious attack from Daijun, and at the same time, Xian Yufu made a feint posture in Zhuojun and restrained the soldiers and horses defending the enemy. After twenty days of hard fighting, Yan Rou finally ran out of food and grass. The Karasuma elite cavalry under his command fluctuated, and was ambushed by Hao Zhao's design, and the 30,000 elite cavalry were all wiped out, and Yan Rou was under the command of his own soldiers. Return to Liaoxi.
And Wei Qiu was unable to resist Wei Duan's attack. Right Beiping fell, and Wei Qiu was captured by Dianman. Escorted to Chang'an.
Although only the two counties of Youbeiping and Yuyang were resolved, in fact, the battle of the Guanzhong army in Youzhou had calmed down. After Gongsun Du learned that Yuyang was lost, his condition worsened and he died in bed. Yan Rou led his troops and retreated to Lelang County.
On the same day that Dong captured Yanshi, He Qi invaded Liaodong.
However, after seizing Liaodong, He Qi and Hao Zhaowei jointly signed a name. Request for a postponement of the offensive against Youzhou.
Because Wangbei County is really unable to support their further operations.
Chen Gong knew. The battle of Youzhou relied on the support of Wangbei County, and it was already a limit to be able to fight this step. Drunken Dew Academy
You must know that Wangbei County was newly built not long ago, especially after the annexation of the state was recovered. Almost undertook the supply of materials in the two counties of Dingxiang in the clouds. Plus the newly occupied Youzhou. What Fivo has done has exceeded many people's expectations. Hit to this extent. I really can't ask for anything more, because they do a very good job.
Therefore, the battle of Youzhou stopped before Meng Chun came.
A large number of supplies, grain and grass poured into Bingzhou and Youzhou from Shuofang and Mobei, and at the same time, Guanzhong also had to face a shortage of materials.
To be honest, this is not good news.
Various circumstances have shown that Guanzhong has reached its limit and cannot continue to fight at all.
However, if the war in Luoyang does not end as soon as the war ends, it will be impossible to relieve the pressure in Guanzhong. Chen Gong is clear, Gu Yong is clear, Dong Chen is clear, Lu Meng and Xu Shu are all clear. In the same way, they believe that Cao Cao in Xingyang is also very clear.
"My lord, in this situation, if you want to eat the 200,000 horses of the coalition army in one bite, I'm afraid it's impossible."
Xu Shu and Pang Tong had already arrived at Yanshi, while Chen Zhizhang and Liyi Pang De continued to exert pressure on Luoyang.
Dong sat in the hall of Yanshi's mansion and listened carefully to the opinions of all parties.
A fire pit was dug in the hall, and in it were coals transported from the Western Regions, which burned and made a sound.
"Yuan Zhi means ......"
"My lord, because of this big war, Guanzhong has not had a good rest for a year. If we can't end this war before the arrival of the spring flood, it will inevitably delay the farming of Guanzhong this year. Then in the coming year, Guanzhong will have to face a famine. ”
Pang Tong also said: "Yes, no matter from that aspect, Guanzhong is not suitable for continuing to fight at present." ”
"So what are you going to do? The battle situation in Luoyang has reached the current point, is it difficult to give up so much? ”
Dian Wei couldn't help but mutter, "Wouldn't it be a pity to do this?" ”
Xu Shu smiled bitterly: "There is no way to do this. After all, our strength has not yet reached that point...... Qi Hou, I also want to end this war as soon as possible, and I also want to capture the entire Kanto and Jiangdong tomorrow...... But no. With our current ability, it is already rare to fight to this point, and if we continue to fight, I am afraid that it will ......."
Facing Dian Wei, although Xu Shu was also a close minister of Dong, he had to speak carefully.
Dian Wei scratched his head, "Lord, what do you say you should do?" ”
At this time, Dong closed his eyes. He was silent, and his heart was also extremely hesitant and difficult to decide.
To be honest, he is really a little embarrassed about this dilemma. Drunken Dew Academy
After a while, Dong Xian's eyes were slightly closed, and his palms gently rubbed his cheeks, "We are uncomfortable, and Cao Cao must be uncomfortable too, right?" ”
"Exactly!"
"Since we don't have the ability to become fat in one bite, we might as well chew it slowly."
Dong stood up and said: "I am reminded of an old saying: we are striding backwards today for the sake of striding forward tomorrow. Yuanzhi, Shiyuan, Ziming, Zishan...... Do you think that if we let Zhou Yu go this time, we can win the next time we meet again? ”
Xu Shu smiled coldly, "If you can beat him once, you can beat him ten times, a hundred times!" ”
"Good!"
Dong nodded and said, "Since this is the case, I'm afraid that he is a bird." What to do. You come up with ideas right away, but whatever the idea is, the most important thing is that we can't afford to lose. Territory that has been occupied. Not an inch of land must be conceded. ”
"The last will understand."
Dong nodded. He sighed, "That's the case." Then prepare to send someone to Xingyang to negotiate peace with Cao Cao. ”
As he spoke, a fighter ran into the hall.
"Lord, there is a person outside the city, who claims to be the lord of the deceased, Cao Cao's messenger, and asks to see the lord."
Dong Yi was stunned and said softly: "Do I still have an old friend in Xuchang?" ”
It seems that there is none. If Cao Cao had a Guo Jia there earlier, he could be called an old man. Guo Jia is dead, so it is naturally unlikely. And who can be called a deceased? If there is, then it is Cao Cao.
"Does the messenger have a name?"
"Someone came and said that his surname was Chen, and his name was Qun......"
"Chen Qun?"
Dong was stunned at first, but immediately reacted. Chen Changwen came suddenly. I don't know what it will be, Pang Tongyi smiled," the lord said before. We don't feel good, and Cao Cao certainly won't feel good either. ”
"You mean ......"
Pang Tong nodded and said, "If you want to come to Chen Qun's visit, it should be for this matter." Anyway, Chen Qun has always dealt with you. It seems that Cao Heizi also knows the lord very well...... However, he came at the right time! ”
Dong narrowed his eyes, "Shi Yuan Ji will be released?" ”
Pang Tong laughed, whispered in Dong's ear for a moment, and Dong nodded again and again, his eyes flashing.
"In that case...... That's what Shiyuan said. Big brother, you and Yuan Zhi went out of the city to greet me on my behalf, and said that I am now patrolling the north and not in the city. Shi Yuan, you tell Zishan and Ziming about your plan, and let the two of them go and arrange it. ”
As he spoke, Dong turned around and walked out of the hall.
Pang Tong summoned Xu Shu and a few people over, and said softly: "Chen Qun must have come here to discuss peace. In this matter, whoever speaks first will suffer, and the more stable he is, the greater the advantage. That's all, that's it...... Everyone's clear? ”
When Xu Shu and the other four heard this, they couldn't help laughing.
"Shi Yuan, you guy, you are really a little anxious. So good, do what Shiyuan says. ”
Dian Wei and Chen Qun have not met.
When he was in the bloody battle of Bocai in Yingchuan, Dian Wei was left behind in Wancheng. However, now Didianwei's identity is different, he is a county marquis, and he is famous. After all, he was the evil of the Han Emperor himself
"Sir, I don't know what you are doing this time?"
Dian Wei welcomed Chen Qun into the palace and asked with a smile.
Chen Qun said: "On the orders of Prime Minister Cao, there is something important to discuss with Dong Hou. It's just that I don't know, when can Dong Hou come back? ”
When he entered the city, Dian Wei had already told Chen Qun that Dong was not in Yanshi.
Chen Qun was entrusted by Cao Cao, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Dian Wei said: "The Governor of the Great Metropolitan is now inspecting the northern part of the country, and he will soon conquer Luoyang, so it will take a few days to turn back. If you are in a hurry, you may wish to inform someone. Before leaving, the Governor entrusted me with the right to act cheaply. ”
"Ah......h
Chen Qunxin said: Even if you have the right to act cheaply, you can't talk to you about this kind of thing, and you can't be the master.
"Qi Hou is affectionate, and the group understands it. It's just that it's better to talk to Dong Hou face to face about this matter. ”
"Hmm!"
Dian Wei smiled innocently, "Since this is the case, then Mr. XX is not reluctant." It takes three or four days for the Metropolitan Governor to inspect the northern region. If you don't like it, you might as well stay here. My brother used to tell me his name. ”
"The group just disturbed!"
That night, Dian Wei held a banquet in the Yanshi Mansion to entertain Chen Qun.
During the banquet, Dian Wei drank heartily, and Chen Qun was stunned by the entrance of the spirits one after another.
"Why is Qi Hou so happy?"
Dian Wei said: "Without him, it only takes a few more days, and this Yang can be won, and I am happy for my brother." ”
"Huh?"
Chen Qun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "There are still tens of thousands of troops in Luoyang, and it is not easy to take it in a few days." ”
"Hahaha, an army of more than 100,000 is nothing more than a rabble for my brother......"
"Warden, please be cautious!"
On the side, Xu Shu hurriedly spoke, interrupting Dian Wei's words.
But this sentence set off a monstrous wave in Chen Qun's heart. Could it be that Dong has already found a way?
Dian Wei muttered: "I'm so afraid, even if I tell him, what kind of splash can he make?" ”
However, after Xu Shu interrupted like this, Dian Wei never said anything later. After three rounds of wine, Dian Wei was very interested. Pulling Chen Qun out of the hall, he smiled and pointed to the sergeants left and right in the courtyard, "This is my brother's pawn in Tuntian, is it majestic?" ”
The so-called pawns of Tuntian are the soldiers who farm the fields.
Chen Qun saw these pawns of Tuntian, all of them with tigers on their backs, broad shoulders and round waists, helmets and armor, holding halberds, and they were murderous and mighty. couldn't help but gasp and whispered, "This is a bear and a tiger!" ”
He dragged Chen Qun out of the mansion and went to the warehouse, only to see a mountain of grain and grass.
"This is the grain and grass that my brother transferred from the Western Regions, does Mr. think it is sufficient?"
Chen Qun also heard that Chang'an allocated grain and grass from the Western Regions, but he didn't expect that it would be confirmed in this Yanshi City.
"The real soldiers are full of food, and they live up to their reputation!"
"Hahaha, there are bears and tigers in our army, and there are enough food and grass. Just wait for next spring......"
Xu Shu, who followed closely, shouted angrily: "Qi Hou, you have overdosed!" Don't forget how the Governor commanded before he left. ”
Speaking from the heart, Chen Qun is about to get tired of Xu Shu now!
But it was obvious that Xu Shu had a lot of status in the army, and after a loud shout, Ling Dian Wei suddenly sobered up a lot.
He returned to the mansion with Chen Qun and drank heartily until he was drunk.
This night, Chen Qun and the wing room were tossing and turning. Dian Junming said that he would stay until the spring of next year...... Spring what?
He pondered and meditated, and finally came up with the answer at dawn: spring flood...... Dian Junming must have said that it was the spring flood. Thinking about the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Taiping thief Zhang Yan once flooded Wancheng by flooding the city in the spring. Could it be that Dong is ready to flood Luoyang?
The more you think about it, the more likely it is!
There are three rivers outside Luoyang, such as Luoshui, Yishui, and Jianshui, and once the spring flood comes, the water potential will inevitably be particularly terrifying. When the time comes, the three rivers will burst their banks and flood the sun...... What good is it with an army of 100,000? Don't forget, Xiahoulan's soldiers and horses were destroyed all at once during the flood season. If this is the case, Zhou Yu Xiahou Yuan is in danger.
No, I will try to convince Dong Yihe, no matter what the cost.
