Although General Zhu Ling did not participate in the war, he held Tongguan. It is already a lone army trapped and dead that cannot advance or retreat, and it is not yet known whether it can fight a way out. How could the general pin his hopes on him? ”

"Yes, yes, General, immediately retreat to the city of Puzhou, stick to the east of the river, seize the time to collect the rout, so as not to be strangled by the Chang'an rebels."

"The last general seconded the proposal, and at the same time, he also asked Yecheng for reinforcements."

"Seconded."

"Seconded ......"

Cao Ren was furious, and he reached out to grab the sword on his waist and slash this group of fearless rat generals. Scratched empty, only the scabbard hung from his waist, and the sword had long been lost.

Suddenly, a Cao soldier was anxious and frightened: "The enemy has come up." ”

This shout attracted the attention of all the generals around Cao Ren, and they saw that under the hillside, a group of black mountain troops in tattered clothes and armor were rushing towards the mountain bag.

"Fight with them!" Cao Ren was furious, snatched a spear from the soldier's hand, and was about to rush down the mountain.

Cao Ren lost his mind and ordered, and the generals gathered around him glanced at each other and made eye contact. It was also Cao Ren's irrational order that made the generals around him make up their minds. A general rushed out behind Cao Ren, hugged Cao Ren from behind, and the generals pressed Cao Ren to the ground with all hands and feet.

"The general of the guard breaks through, and a certain family is broken!" The commander of the army sent someone to frame Cao Ren, and he led an army down the mountain to cut off Cao Ren.

At dawn, Cao Ren had two or three thousand remnants around him, and less than 100 horses.

"Put me down." Cao Ren regained his composure. Moved his numb limbs and looked back. In the distance of the mountain peak, a few wisps of green smoke rise, and the fire on the bank of the Yellow River has not yet been extinguished. Cao Ren burst into tears.

With 3,000 defeated remnants of the defeated army, they did not dare to stay and went straight to Puzhou.

The gate of Puzhou City was opened, and countless scattered Cao soldiers were rushing to the city, and a column of Cao soldiers outside the city was patrolling seriously, taking away one Cao army general after another, and only letting small soldiers enter the city. Seeing that although the atmosphere in Puzhou was tense, the banner of Cao Jun was still floating above the city, and Cao Ren breathed a sigh of relief.

Cao Ren sent a horse to take the lead in entering the city to check, and the knight rode close to the city gate as if facing a great enemy, Cao Jun, and shouted: "General Cao Ren is here, quickly welcome into the city!" ”

On horseback, a general wearing chain mail and a heavy helmet bowed down and said: "The last general didn't know that the general was coming, and he was disappointed." With that, he commanded the army to move forward.

Cao Jun had just been defeated, and this general defending the city was like a great enemy, which did not arouse Cao Rendi's vigilance, but nodded with a little admiration.

"I know the Puzhou county commander and the guard, it doesn't seem to be so high?" A scribe-looking man beside Cao Ren whispered.

"I also feel a little familiar, this person's figure doesn't seem to be our general."

"There is fraud!" Cao Ren suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. The whole defeated soldier was like a frightened bird, and it exploded.

Cao Jun was in chaos, Chen Gongzhi had been recognized by Cao Ren, and he did not hide his whereabouts, and took off his helmet: "Those who kill Cao Ren will be rewarded with a thousand taels, and the marquis will worship the general!" ”

"It's Chen Gong!" Cao Ren, who was familiar with Chen Gongdi, finally recognized it, and let out a cold sweat: "Line up and meet the enemy." ”

The defeated army under Cao Ren's command had no fighting spirit, how could he be the opponent of the Chang'an soldiers who had been waiting for a long time, and they were killed and retreated one after another. Chen Gong saw that Cao Ren was about to break through and leave, and led the army to the front to intercept and kill, and when he was yelling, Cao Ren shot a cold arrow, hitting Chen Gong's shoulder, and Chen Gong fell off his horse.

The Chang'an soldiers were in chaos, and they didn't care about besieging Cao Ren, so they rushed forward and returned to Chen Palace. Cao Ren was able to break through and leave.

At this time, there were only more than 70 cavalry left around Cao Ren, and he did not dare to go to the east of the river, so he only sent soldiers Pegasus to report that Pusaka Luzhao had retreated.

In this battle, less than 10,000 of the more than 70,000 Cao soldiers on the south bank were captured, and the rest fled a small number, and most of them were burned to death. On the north bank, Chen Gong and Zhang Yan captured a total of 90,000 Cao soldiers, killed 30,000, and escaped as many as 130,000.

Without waiting for the complete annihilation of the Cao army on the south bank, Yang Fu led the cavalry to attack the vanguard Zhu Lingbu outside Tongguan. Last night, the Yellow River was blazing, and the cry spread for hundreds of miles, and Zhu Ling already knew that Cao Ren was ambushed, and led the vanguard back to help.

The two armies lined up halfway, and several partial generals in the army saw that Yang Fu was carrying the power of a great victory, and it was menacing, and even Cao Ren's 300,000 army was difficult to resist, not to mention that there were only tens of thousands of vanguard troops with insufficient grain and grass. Yang Fu did not spend a single soldier to obtain the vanguard army of Zhu Ling.

Zhu Ling scolded: "I won't surrender even if I die." Let's go with a knife! ”

Yang Fu ignored it and sent someone to throw Zhu Ling into a prisoner car, transport him back to Chang'an Prison, and wait for Lu Bu to return to the division before dealing with it.

Hanzhong.

When Huang Yueying heard that Lu Bu was defeated in Lushan, she began to plan to capture Xichuan. For this reason, she did not hesitate to use her personal reputation as a bargaining chip to deceive Zhuge Liang, she had a marriage contract with Zhuge Liang, and she also had a marriage contract with Lu Bu. Zhuge Liang is young and gentle. Lu Bu is handsome and vicissitudes, with excellent knowledge, unlike a martial artist, a scholar who knows as deep as the sea, Huang Yueying knows, she knows what she knows, he knows, he is like an all-encompassing huge document. And Lu Bu ignored her, which made her fall in love even more. When Lu Bu showed outstanding knowledge far beyond Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying knew that she admired Lu Bu even more.

The send-off procession departed from Nanzheng, crossed the internal water, and arrived at the Sword Pavilion. The Sword Pavilion is closed, the Xichuan Portal, and several miles of red cloth are hung on the mountain wall, which is full of joy. In the canyon, many platforms were erected, on which wine and meat were placed. Zhao Yun came to the front of the family sending team with a cavalry, and Wang Shuang immediately dismounted and greeted him with a smile.

Wang Shuang smiled and Zhao Yun promised each other, and the afterglow scanned the surroundings, not like an ambush, and Liu Bei's soldiers on the high platform were holding wine and meat plates, most of them did not carry weapons.

Wang Shuang was temporarily sure that Liu Bei was not suspicious, but he did not dare to be careless and take it lightly. Mi Zhu checked and counted the carriages, and Wang Shuang's heart was in his throat, afraid of being found that the soldiers in the buried place under the grain were found. Mi Zhu came over dissatisfied: "Why is it all cooked?" ”

Wang Shuang was noncommittal: "Our army didn't promise to give you seeds." ”

Zhao Yun didn't want to fake a relationship with Wang Shuang, Mi Zhu flashed out and said with a smile: "I heard that the army will survive and fight with Cao Thief again, it's really gratifying." This is the blessing of Chang'an, the blessing of the world, and the blessing of my Han. ”

Wang Shuang sneered in his heart, if you knew that Cao Ren had a fiasco in Tongguan a few days ago, I am afraid that you would not be able to laugh.

Wang Shuang was worried that the food was poisonous, so he ordered the soldiers to eat it in batches, cautiously and carefully, and Mi Fang sneered when he saw it.

However, the next day, the soldiers vomited and diarrhea, and Wang Shuangdian soldiers came out, and brought a Biao soldier to fight outside Liu Bei's camp, shouting that Liu Bei had poisoned the insidious means, so that his own soldiers had little combat power, so that they could be wiped out.

Zhao Yun killed and taught Wang Shuang a lesson, and then sent a military doctor to check. It turned out to be 'water and soil incompatibility'. The soldiers were unable to move forward with their legs weakened from diarrhea, so they could only 'stay' in the Sword Pavilion for the time being, waiting for the return of the family team to carry them back to Hanzhong.

Stop and go, it only takes one day to reach Fucheng, the family sending team has gone for two days, and the team of tens of thousands of places is getting less and less, and the water and soil are not adapted, and they stay halfway. This has relieved the pressure on Mi Fang Zhao Yun's welcoming team, from 10,000 at the beginning to less than 3,000 now, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that they were about to arrive in Fucheng, the family sending team was getting slower and slower. Finally, the beacon fire came from the mountains behind him.

"Strategist, you've got it." Wang Shuang rode his horse to Huang Yueying's sedan chair and whispered.

They walked slowly all the way, just waiting for the soldiers who were 'unaccustomed to water and soil' to surrender to the checkpoints along the way, blocking Liu Bei's army in Fucheng outside the mountains, and preventing Liu Bei from supporting the Sword Pavilion in time. Huang Yueying stretched out her hand and pulled off her head and drank in a low voice: "Prepare to kill the enemy!" ”

Xiangcheng.

When Cao Cao learned the news of Cao Ren's defeat, and Lu Bu's army outside the city began to besiege the city, it was obvious that Lu Bu had known the news for a long time before Cao Cao, and had already made a strategic challenge to the enemy.

There was a lot of noise in the county government, and Cao Cao's face was cloudy. A Cao soldier did not report first, flew into the house, and said in a panic: "There are a large number of Chang'an soldiers besieging the city outside the city, and the main general of the other party, Lu Budi, is calling for battle outside the west gate. ”

Cao Cao stood up abruptly and asked, "How many people?" ”

"Except for the north gate, which has not yet besieged the city, you can't see the end at a glance outside the three gates." The soldier replied.

Cao Cao said eagerly: "Immediately blockade the whole city, and the whole city urgently prepares for war." The Youzhou cavalry was temporarily handed over to Tian Yu to command, stationed at the north gate, and must ensure that the north gate was unimpeded, and the scouts must explore the enemy army within a hundred miles.

The rest of the soldiers and horses were stationed in the remaining three cities. All the stragglers around the city were not allowed to enter the city, and they gathered outside the north gate to obey Tian Yu's dispatch. lest Lu Bu lock my four doors to death!

Immediately ordered Cao Ren to allocate at least 20,000 troops and horses to attack the crossing of the Yellow River, even if he could not take the Tiger Pass, Zhang Liao would not dare to attack our army with all his strength. Ordered the Yanjin battalion to launch a fierce attack on Chen Liuzhang Liaobu! Ordered Yingchuan, Runan, Huainan, Xuzhou, Dongjun and other families, all soldiers and young men to be recruited nearby and rushed to the aid of Xiangcheng. ”

Cheng Yu got up and said, "The prime minister is a good plan. The prime minister put on a decisive battle posture in Xiangcheng, Lu Bu must not have to, and our army is expected to break through. ”

Cao Cao's face was cold, and he said very unhappily: "Who is going to break through?" What you can think of, how could Lu Bu not think of it. He thinks I'm going to break through, and I'm going to fight him to the death here! ”

Cao Ren lost more than 200,000 young people in Hebei overnight, and Hebei was densely populated and couldn't resist. Since the battle, several losses of troops and generals, the defeat of Hanshui is the elite of the Cao army, the number is not scary, and Guandu Chen left a line, Zhang Liao increased his troops several times, Cao Pi is even more casualties, because of the proximity to Hebei, the support is timely, for the time being, the number of young and strong people who have lost the land has not been announced, once it is announced, the world will be in an uproar.

In this battle, Hebei's population decreased sharply, and Cao Cao was unwilling and did not dare to give up this opportunity to fight Lü Bu in a decisive battle. Instead of bothering on breaking through, it is better to think about what methods to use to break the enemy.
