Chapter 61 Yuan Shao's worries and sent troops to Hanoi

The news brought by Hu Cai really surprised Tian Jing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter all, the two counties in Hedong were run by themselves little by little, and how could they know that they were trapped in Xudu on this side, and Xiahou Yuan launched a surprise attack on Hedong on that side. Especially when I heard that Wang Dang defected, and the Hedong Taishou Wangyi recommended by himself gave away Anyi, not to mention how bad it was in my heart.

Now fortunately, there is Xu Shu, the military division, Xu Huang, the general of Anhan, and Zhang Yan, the general of Pingnan, who helped him defend Pingyang. Otherwise, your foundation will be gone.

After Hu Cai finished speaking, he saw Tian Jing's face was ugly, and he didn't interject. After waiting for a while, Tian Jing suddenly laughed three times, a little unclear, and asked, "Why is the lord laughing?" ”

Tian Jing said, "I laughed that I was not calculated, and I was rushed to Jizhou in a hurry like a lost dog." But I still feel that I can't see it because of Hedong's loss. If I'm in that position, I may not be able to do much better than you. Seon lost his horse, but we are all alive now, and we will have a chance in the future. ”

Hu Cai saw that Tian Jing could recover so quickly, and he was even more sure of the correctness of choosing Tian Jing as the master. Hu Cai said, "The lord is right, as long as we are all alive, we will have a chance." And the opportunity is right now, General Xu Shu planned a big counterattack, and I believe that the news will be heard soon. ”

"Is that so?" Tian Jing also came to his senses when he heard it.

Only then did Hu Cai tell Tian Jing that Wei Yan was preparing to make a surprise attack on Tongguan through the waterway to attract Xiahou Yuan's main force to return south, Xu Huang led the strange troops to the south to counterattack, and Xu Shu personally led the troops to recover Anyi's plan to tell Tian Jing.

After hearing this, Tian Jing felt that this plan was quite feasible. It's just that the strength of Cao's army far exceeds that of Hedong soldiers and horses, and if there is no foreign aid, the result of this battle will only end there. If Yuan Shao's side can send troops south to contain the main force of Cao's army, then Xiahou Yuan's men and horses will be a lone army in Hedong. At that time, the counterattack in Hedong may achieve greater results.

Tian Jing thought of this, discussed it with Hu Cai, and then rushed to Yuan Shao's mansion to discuss the matter of Hedong.

When Tian Jing arrived at Tian Jing's mansion, the envoys sent by Yuan Shao had just returned to Yecheng. The envoy sent to Xuzhou brought back good news, Liu Bei not only agreed to form an alliance with Yuan Shao to deal with Cao Cao, but also personally sent his advisor Sun Qian to Yecheng with gifts to marry Yuan Shao.

But there are a few other places that are less rosy. Jiangdong Sun Ce's reply to Yuan Shao's letter was, "Jiangdong is newly established, the foundation is unstable, and Yuan Shu's remnants are a disaster for the Lujiang River." Although the policy had the intention of going north to help Ming Gong, the state and county were not appeased, and they did not dare to leave the land without permission. "It's a polite refusal. Liu Biao of Jingzhou, on the one hand, was kind to Yuan Shao's envoy, but did not indicate whether he was willing to send troops, and on the other hand, he exchanged letters with Cao Cao of Xu Du. The envoy sent to Zhang Xiu in Nanyang was directly driven back by Zhang Xiu's adviser Jia Xu, who said that he was only ordered by the imperial court.

Yuan Shao listened to it and said angrily, "They are all incompetent rats, and they hate Cao Cao one by one, but they don't dare to raise troops." Yuan Shao was furious and smashed the cup on the table.

When Tian Jing came, it was when Yuan Shao was in a bad mood. Tian Jing truthfully informed Yuan Shao of the situation in Hedong reported by Hu Cai, and he mentioned that his deployment would prepare a large-scale counterattack, but for the sake of secrecy, he did not mention a specific plan. Tian Jing hoped that Yuan Shao would be able to send troops south to divide the forces of Cao's army. Yuan Shao was so worried that he didn't listen, and only said that he would discuss it later.

Tian Jing came out of Yuan Shao's mansion and felt that this matter was important, so he went directly to Tian Feng's mansion to discuss.

Tian Feng went directly to see Yuan Shao early the next morning, but he didn't know that Yuan Shao had a sad face. After asking, I learned that Yuan Shao's youngest son was seriously ill. Tian Feng was so anxious, Tian Feng knew Yuan Shao too well, as long as this person was under pressure, it would affect his decision. But now is the critical moment, and we can't help but say it. Tian Feng put all his ideas and plates. From the whole form of the world, to the current timing of going south, from the comparison of Cao Yuan's troops, to the princes' own calculations. In short, a lot of analysis was made, but the expression on Yuan Shao's face did not change in the slightest. Tian Feng knew that this time it was a failure.

Yuan Shao saw that Tian Jing finished speaking, and said apologetically, "Yuan Hao, my youngest son is sick, and I really have no intention of considering the plan you said." Why don't we wait until later? ”

Seeing this, Tian Feng had no choice but to retreat, "My lord, if there is a full-scale war, the time is not yet ripe. Then I hope that the lord can let General Gao Gan send troops south to Hanoi to contain Lejin's soldiers and horses. ”

Yuan Shao thought for a while and said, "Gao Gan needs to resist the Xiongnu Xianbei, I'm afraid he won't be able to withdraw?" ”

Tian Feng said, "It's better to let Tian Jing, the general of Zhengbei, lead the troops and horses of his headquarters to Hanoi, contain Lejin, and do not seek to make contributions, but he does not dare to go north to harass our party and threaten Yecheng." ”

Yuan Shao thought for a moment, "This is a good idea. At least let Cao Cao see the movements of our army. But Tian Jing's soldiers and horses are too few, and he is afraid that it is not enough to threaten Lejin. It is better to lend him a few thousand soldiers and horses to increase the strength of the army. ”

Tian Feng said deliberately, "But after all, this person is not completely loyal to the lord and lends him troops?" ”

Yuan Shao said, "It makes sense, but what you mentioned before, I don't think it's time yet." It's better to be like this, this time I will lend him troops, and you will be the overseer. Let's see what he thinks, and it's not too late for him to come back from this expedition. ”

Tian Feng was secretly overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly agreed.

Three days later, Tian Jing led 10,000 troops, known as 100,000, and sent troops to Hanoi. The Chinese army fought the banner of the general Yuan Shao and the state assassin Shi Gaogan, and ordered the soldiers to erect more banners along the way to think that they were suspicious soldiers.

Tian Jing and Tian Feng discussed the battle of Hanoi all the way. Tian Fengyan said: Back then, Yuan Gong sent people to recruit Zhang Yang, but unfortunately Zhang Yang was obsessed. The envoy turned against the generals of the Zhang Yang Department, and only then did the Hedong change occur. It's a pity that at that time, Yuan Gong was constantly making decisions and was not responding effectively, so he was beheaded by Yang Chou, and instead gave the Hanoi he had in his hands to Cao Cao. Although we have 10,000 soldiers and horses this time, it is a light army attacking from afar, and the backup cannot be pointed out, so we should focus on destroying Lejin's troops in the movement. You can't care about the gains and losses of one city or one place.

Tian Jingdao: What Mr. said is very good, if when we arrive in Hanoi, Le Jin is about to withdraw the army, what should we do?

Tian Fengqi said: How can this happen?

Tian Jing said: Mr. wants to marry his daughter to me twice, I don't know why? If my interests are consistent with Yuan Gong's interests, I guarantee that nothing will threaten Yuan Gong's interests.

Tian Fengdao: The matter of the little girl, although I am for the Yuan family, but I am not without selfishness, how many young heroes like the general are there in the world? As the general said, as long as it does not harm the interests of the Yuan family, the general's plan is fine.

Tian Jing said: "In this case, I will tell my husband a big thing." Tian Jing told Wei Yanqi about the attack on Tongguan and the all-out counterattack in Hedong.

Tian Fengqi said: "I don't expect that there are so many capable people under the general's command. In this way, Cao's army will definitely be in chaos, and the only people who can be mobilized nearby are the defenders of Luoyang who have finished ambushing and the Hanoi soldiers and horses of Lejin. But then it will be our chance. If this is the case, we will have to change the tactics of war, and the general will capture the city on the way to the front, and Tian will organize the collection of the displaced people in the future and organize them into troops to supplement the troops. At the same time, the general thought that 1,000 cavalry was maneuvering, one was to inquire about the movement of Le, and the other was to support from all directions. Although Lejin divided his troops to rescue Hedong, Chaoge and other big cities would never give up defense, and the general had to think carefully about this siege strategy. "

"For this song city, I have sent a strange army to help, and Mr. will wait and see when he arrives." Tian Jing is confident.

Just as Tian Jing and Tian Feng were discussing, Wei Yan took all 5,000 soldiers and horses to board Liu Pi's newly established naval ship. In order to avoid aiming too big. The fleet was divided into several groups and sailed along the west bank of the river at night. After two days, the fleet successfully arrived at the ferry port ten miles outside Pupan City.

Wei Yan asked people to reorganize the army overnight and besieged Puban City. Then he ordered people to attack the city at night. There are many soldiers and horses in Hedong who are good at climbing, and Puban City is not high, and the defense is not tight. Therefore, the Kung Fu City Tower, which is less than a stick of incense, has basically been occupied. As more and more people climbed the tower, resistance in the city was largely suppressed.

The defenders of the city found that the city could not be defended, and opened four gates, preparing to break through separately. Who knew that the Hedong army far exceeded the imagined number, and as a result, none of them escaped. Either captured or killed.

Occupied Puban City, Wei Yanbo defended with 500 soldiers and horses. If you hold Pupan, you will hold the retreat route.

Wei Yan asked more than 100 elite people to change into Cao Jun's clothes, take a few prisoners who were familiar with Cao's army, and rush to Fenglingdu. It is said that Puban fell, and there were no defenders in Fenglingdu, only dozens of veterans guarding a few ferries. They heard that Pu Pan was lost, but they didn't want to die in vain. Hurry up and cross the river by boat. Before leaving, I didn't forget to burn the ferry.

Wei Yan continued to lead his troops to board the ship, and went straight down the river to the south bank of the Yellow River through Fenglingdu. The more than 100 fake Cao soldiers wrapped themselves in the veterans of the ferry and went straight to Tongguan to report the news.

Wei Yan personally led the army, separated by five miles, and followed closely.

The more than 100 soldiers who pretended to be Cao Jun shouted when they arrived at the city of Tongguan that Puban had fallen and came to report the news. Let the defenders of the city let him into the city.

Torches were lit up in the city, and I saw that the soldiers and horses under the city were all dressed in Cao Jun's clothes, and there were people who knew one or two of them, and there were even veterans of the ferry to testify, so I hurried to report to the guards.

The Tongguan guards will be Xiahou Yuan's old subordinates, but Xiahou Yuan led his troops to attack Hedong and took away all the elites, but now most of the soldiers in the city are soldiers from all walks of life after entering Luoyang.

Tongguan City is high and deep, and for the Hedong war situation, Tongguan is more like the rear. They were guarding more against Duan Xuan, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others west of Tongguan. Hearing that the Pu version was lost, Li Zhong's first thought was that the Guanzhong army was making trouble.

He ordered people to be put in, and he was ready to inquire in detail. As soon as the door was opened, more than 100 people quickly turned against them, killed people on sight, and after a while, the city gate was occupied.

Li Zhong immediately organized a counterattack, and if these were his troops, then the order would be carried out immediately. However, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers who surrendered later was too poor, and no one was willing to fight hard. Li Zhong had no choice but to lead the guards to rush forward. Just as he rushed up, he suddenly found that thousands of soldiers and horses from Hedong were pouring into the city gate. At that moment, he knew that the tide was turning.

When Wei Yan led his troops to occupy Tongguan, he counted his own casualties. Except for the more than half of the more than half of the soldiers who controlled the city gates, his main force suffered almost no losses. When the main general Li Zhong was killed by Wei Yan, there was basically no resistance in the city.

Wei Yan found that the surprise attack went much smoother than expected. When he found that the soldiers were complete, Wei Yan suddenly had a bolder idea than the original one who was guarding Tongguan and attracting Xiahou Yuan to return.

Wei Yan deliberately sent someone to spread the news of the loss of Tongguan to Hongnong. However, he did not mention who broke through Tong Pass, so Cao Jun put the suspicions outside the pass. And I believe that with the speed of Cao Jun's information transmission, Xiahou Yuan of Xudu and Anyi will get the news in less than three days.

Then he led around Hongnong to set up an ambush and fight a beautiful ambush battle. forced Xiahou Yuan to return to his teacher. When the time comes, the Tongguan will be handed over to Duan Xuan or Ma Teng Han Sui outside the pass, and he will lead the troops back to Hedong.
