Chapter 684: Three-sided battle

"King Wei! General Yu, the vanguard general, has sent a war petition again! ”

A herald handed the forbidden petition to Dian Wei, who was guarding the door. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"That's it! Step aside! Dian Wei took the letter of request, and after the herald left, Dian Wei pushed open the door behind him and walked in.

"King Wei!" Although Dian Wei shouted King Wei in his mouth, his actions did not show due respect to King Wei at all.

Yu Ban's letter of invitation to war seems to have been thrown by Dian Wei to the "King of Wei" sitting on the main seat.

"Evil comes! If you are disrespectful to me, you are disrespectful to the King of Wei! The man who sat on the throne lifted up his head. This face...... How could this be Cao Cao? Even if Cao Cao went to Thailand for beauty, it would not have become like this.

"Humph! Mr. Childfish! It's not disrespectful to Mr. Zaixia, but resentment towards King Wei. ”

Subfish? This is clearly Hua Xin.

Hua Xin smiled slightly, "Evil comes." King Wei didn't take you away, you have resentment, and you can't sprinkle it on my body. Moreover, you are the direction marker of King Wei. Who in the whole world doesn't know that there is evil where there is a king of Wei, and where there is a king of Wei. ”

"In that case, then why did King Wei leave me behind!" Although several days have passed since this incident, Dian Wei still can't let go.

Hua Xin smiled again, and wrote four words again on Yu Ban's petition for war, "Don't be impatient." Then, Hua Xin said to Dian Wei: "Evil is coming! King Wei's trip was top secret. Not to mention Liu Bei, even the generals and soldiers in our army know that King Wei is not here, and there are only you and me. Then, why hasn't King Wei shown up for some days, and the soldiers in the army still think that King Wei is here? ”

Dian Wei tilted his head and thought, "Is it because of me?" ”

"Not bad! It's the evil that comes! Everyone knows that the King of Wei and the evil are inseparable. Since there is evil outside the house, there must be the king of Wei inside. And this is the reason why King Wei did not bring evil! ”

Although Hua Xin and Dian Wei discussed Dian Wei's flying vinegar. But there's a huge message here!

Cao Cao is not in Kaifeng, and he has been away for many days. The battle between Cao Cao and Liu Bei is imminent, Cao Cao is not in Kaifeng to command the battle against Liu Bei, where did he go.

"Childe! Shang Gongzi's messenger has arrived! ”

Since Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi each won the two counties of Jizhou, they also began to recruit soldiers and horses. And at this time, it was precisely because of the previous rumors about Cao Caotian's punishment that Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi's gains were not small.

Although Jizhou is now in chaos, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, after having a large army, did not choose to continue to advance, but consolidated their respective territories.

And today, Yuan Shang's envoy arrived at Yuan Xi's general's mansion. When Yuan Shao was still alive before, including Yuan Tan, who had already burped, the brothers of the Yuan family inherited his father's great quality - infighting!

Therefore, Yuan Xi didn't expect that his second brother would write to him at all. And, depending on what he means, he still has to make an alliance with himself. Avenge your dad together.

Cao Cao is powerful, there is no doubt about it. Even when Cao Cao is in internal and external troubles now, even when Cao Cao's main army is involved by Liu Bei, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan are definitely not Cao Cao's opponents.

Now, the reason why Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi were able to deduct these four counties from Cao Cao's mouth was only because Cao Cao's Jizhou Corps was transferred by Cao Cao to the north bank of the Yellow River. And now, the reason why Yuan Shang sent a letter to ally with his third brother Yuan Xi was also to receive the news that Li Dianzheng led his army north.

At the moment of the great enemy, Yuan Shang has already reacted. We have to join forces to have a chance to survive. However, Yuan Xi, who finally had the opportunity to make his own decisions, didn't think so.

Beginners, as soon as they have achieved something, they will be complacent, complacent, and even empty-eyed. I can't wait for the eldest of the heavens, his second.

Therefore, Yuan Xi rejected Yuan Shang's alliance. Moreover, Yuan Xi also immediately convened the civil and military forces under his command to discuss the matter of sending troops.

Although, some people are very aware of Cao Cao's strength, but they are helplessly outnumbered. There are too many people who support Yuan Xi's troops.

Many people think that all of Cao Cao's energy has been attracted by Liu Bei. And the army led by Li Dian was just Cao Cao's attempt to contain them. Now, if Li Dian is not defeated immediately, when Cao Cao takes time out of Yanzhou, it will be the real big trouble.

Therefore, Yuan Xi moved. After counting the 20,000 soldiers he had just recruited, he rushed forward. As for the advice that Yuan Shang brought before, he had already asked Yuan Xixiang to wipe his ass with his subordinates.

Yuan Xi guessed correctly, when Li Dian led the army north, the task he received was indeed only to contain it. It's just that the objects that Li Dian needs to contain are Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, and now only Yuan Xi is heading forward, which is just a plate of vegetables for Li Dian!

As the saying goes, it is indispensable to guard against others. Yuan Xi only has 20,000 soldiers, and most of them have just been recruited, so how much combat effectiveness can he have. It's just that Yuan Xi is the son of Yuan Shao, and he is also aggressive. It's as if Li Dian is some kind of widow who has been stripped naked.

Li Dian, who was cautious by nature, immediately felt a smell of conspiracy as soon as he saw Yuan Xi's movements. Therefore, Li Dian immediately ordered the whole army to stop advancing, set up camp, and prepare for a long-term confrontation with the enemy.

In Li Dian's view, the rebellious Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi are two brothers, and it is impossible to say that there is no contact between them. And now only Yuan Xi is here, where is Yuan Shang. Therefore, the main reason why Li Dian stopped was that he was afraid that he would crash headlong into the encirclement of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi.

Let's take it one step at a time. Moreover, you have to inquire about where Yuan Shang is first.

――――

Yuzhou, Runan County. Runan County is the largest county in Yuzhou, accounting for almost half of the entire Yuzhou. And Runan County was also the place where Liu Biao's army was the first to attack.

Before, Cai Mao took advantage of the fact that the eyes of Cao Jun of Yuzhou had not yet turned back in Yanzhou, so he led the army to suddenly enter Runan County.

Caught off guard, Cao Cao's army retreated again and again. Finally, under the city of Runan County, Cai Mao finally stopped.

In fact, if Cai Mao had launched an attack immediately when he had just arrived in Runan County, then perhaps the entire Runan County would have changed hands. However, when Cai Mao ran to the city of Runan County, he saw the city wall of Runan City, which seemed to be higher than the city wall of Xiangyang, and Cai Mao was stunned.

So high, how to fight? How long will it take!

At this time, someone suggested to Cai Mao, general, our army went out to eradicate the rebellion. We can't just back down because the enemy is strong. Runan City is high, but as long as there is a ladder, we can take this fortified city. Moreover, with it, we can attack and retreat and defend. This city must be occupied!

Cai Mao thought about it, and didn't have any better ideas. So, let's start building ladders.

Cai Mao was busy building ladders in the camp, and Runan County was not idle. Hurry up and ask for help!

After three days of hard work, Cai Mao's ladder was built, and the Cao army in Runan County also surged fivefold from the previous 6,000 people, reaching 30,000 people.

Cai Mao is really bitter now, and she can't say it.

The order to attack has been given before, so you can't even attack without attacking.

So, the ant-like Jingzhou soldiers began to carry the ladder. It's a pity that Cai Mao's three attacks were perfectly blocked back by the defenders of Runan City.

And just when the situation in Runan City was very good, three fast horses rushed into the county seat of Runan County.

Many Cao Jun soldiers found a familiar ornament on one of these three people!
