Xu Du.

Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang sat opposite each other, silent, and did not say a word for a long time.

Cao Zhi took a sip of wine, and finally opened his mouth first: "Great Wei has reached the end of the road, are we still watching?" ”

"Wei Yan led an army of 100,000 to keep an eye on us, if we send troops, then Wei Yan will attack us regularly."

But do we just watch our father's foundation fall away little by little? We are brothers fighting, and fighting in the end is also our own people, but now Ma Hong is encroaching on the land of Great Wei little by little. ”

"I know what you said, it's time, but once we send troops, Zijian, you and I must be ready to die."

"This, I have been prepared for a long time, and I have been ready on the day Cao Pi ascends the throne."

"Let's get started!"

Xu Du Cao Zhang suddenly led an army to attack Zhang He's rear army, Zhang He had already prepared, and ordered Ma Shuang to lead an army of 10,000 to defend in the rear. Wei Yan got the news and immediately waved his army to attack Xudu, but Cao Zhang's sneak attack on Zhang He failed, and he returned to Xudu to set up defenses.

Yecheng, Cao Pi heard the news, and said with a gloomy smile: "Now, what's the use of sending troops now?" My father's inheritance is going to be destroyed in my hands! ”

After Cao Pi said this, he coughed wildly, vomited blood and fell into a coma, and died the next day.

After that, Cao Rui summoned Cao Zhen and Guo Huai to discuss the military.

"Two, now that my Wei State has reached a critical juncture, it's time to fight, if you don't fight again, this river will change hands."

Guo Huai and Cao Zhen were silent for a long time, and Cao Zhen finally spoke: "Childe, now that Xuzhou is trapped, it is difficult for us to rescue, only by breaking the Chu army in Jizhou and solving the Chu army behind can we have the strength to fight with the Chu army." ”

"The Chu army attacked my Jizhou from the sea, and there were not many war horses at a regular time, Uncle Cao, you led 30,000 cavalry around to the north of Julu, and attacked Lu Xun and Zhang Wei from the north side, General Guo Huai divided the troops into ten, attacked from multiple sides, disturbed Lu Xun and Zhang Wei, and destroyed them."

The words were very relaxed and firm, Cao Zhen looked at Cao Rui, this method is not impossible, but once Cao Zhen did not go around to the north of the giant deer, he was discovered by Lu Xun and Zhang Wei on the way, and was ambushed, then he would definitely die.

"I know it's very dangerous, but I can only fight, the Chu army uses troops in different places, and we are not familiar with Jizhou, we have an advantage in the terrain, and we have an iron cavalry, and the advantage of military warfare, if you don't fight at this time, the country will die."

Cao Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the minister receives the order." ”

"Uncle, this king, I want to wait for your triumphant return before shouting, don't die."

"Chennuo!"

Cao Zhen and Guo Huai retreated, Guo Huai looked at Cao Zhen and said, "The strategic vision of the prince is above the previous king. ”

Cao Zhen sighed and said, "Yes! The first king didn't dare to fight like him. ”

"Wait until we retreat from the Chu army in Jizhou, and welcome the king to the throne together." Guo Huai said.

Cao Zhen said: "I hope Zhongda can delay a little longer." ”

Zhu Ran's 120,000 army, this period of continuous fighting, Jiang Wei and Wang Ping's most elite infantry went to Qingzhou, plus the number of losses, Zhu Ran, Lu Xun and Zhang Wei added up to only 70,000 people.

Cao Zhen ventured into the north of the giant deer, coupled with the strong power of the cavalry, even if the spies found out, they could not pursue Cao Zhen, after Guo Huai fought with Lu Xun and Zhang Wei head-on, Cao Zhen stabbed from the north and defeated Lu Xun and Zhang Wei in a battle, Zhang Wei was killed in the chaos, Lu Xun led the remnants of the army to retreat to Bohai County, and Zhu Ran set up a stone formation outside Nanpi City to block Cao Zhen's cavalry. Because he had just occupied Jizhou, the root was unstable, and was attacked by Cao Wei's elite, the odds of victory were too small, Zhu Ran set up a stone formation, sent a thousand troops to defend Nanpi City, he had already collected food, and then led the army and Lu Xun together with the rest of the troops to board the warship, led the fleet to Xuzhou Donghai County, planning to land from Donghai County and attack Sima Yi with Zhuge Liang, Zhang He, and Jiang Wei.

The garrisons left by the Chu army in various parts of Jizhou were cleaned up by Cao Zhen and Guo Huai one after another, and after the Wei State pacified Jizhou, Cao Rui succeeded the king of Wei. Cao Zhen and Guo Huai led an army to Xuzhou to reinforce Sima Yi. Halfway through, I got the news that Xuzhou was broken, Sima Yi and his two sons fled to Xudu, Sima Yi was taken in by Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang, Cao Rui wrote to Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang to explain the pros and cons, and did not blame the past, Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang, under the persuasion of Sima Yi and Cao Rui, returned to Cao Rui, and together with Xiahou Yuan, formed a defense line from Luoyang to Xudu to resist the Chu army.

Zhu Ran did not land on the shore, and he was overjoyed when he heard that Xuzhou had been broken.

Under Picheng, Zhuge Liang saw Jiang Wei and Zhang He who came over, and sighed: "Sima Zhongda is not dead, Xu Du is difficult to break!" ”

Under the three-way attack of Zhuge Liang, Zhang He and Jiang Wei, Sima Yi was able to defend Xuzhou in May, and was deeply feared by Zhuge Liang.

Tian Yu and Sun Li, the guards in the north of Wei, led 50,000 troops into Yecheng, Jizhou to arrange a defensive line, and Cao Rui used Chen Qun's son Chen Tai, Wang Ji and Cao Zhen and Guo Huai to defend the Qingzhou border to defend against Zhuge Liang. and sent Man Chong as the commander-in-chief, Zhang Liao's son Zhang Hu, and Le Jin's son Le Lin to lead troops to Xudu for defense. Wei defended the city and fought a war of attrition with Chu.

Xu Du was under Sima Yi's defense, Wei Yan besieged Xu Duxia, and Zhang He led his troops to attack Xu Du with Wei Yan, which was also difficult to take. The Wei general Xiahou Yuan stubbornly defended the Hangu Pass, and the Hu Du army attacked for several days, suffering heavy casualties, and it was difficult to take the Hangu Pass, and the various fronts were in a stalemate.

After Cao Rui ascended the throne, Xiahou Yuan was named the Great Sima, Cao Zhen was the Great General, and Sima Yi was the Grand Governor, and a large number of newcomers were enabled, such as Wang Ji, Chen Tai, Zhang Hu, Le Lin, Wang Chang, Wang Jing, Xu Zhen and others. [Introduce these generals in the late Wei period, the most famous should be Chen Tai and Wang Ji! ] Chen Tai, the name Xuanbo, was a native of Xuchang, Yingchuan (now Xuchangdong, Henan). During the Three Kingdoms period, the famous general of Wei, the son of Sikong Chen Qun, both civil and military, his ability was stronger than his father, as Jiang Wei's old opponent, he often resisted Jiang Wei with Guo Huai, and was friends with Sima Shi and Sima Zhao. Wang Ji, the word Boyu, Donglai Qucheng people, Wang Ji and Chen Tai basically belong to the same category of people, they are both civil and military, people with both ability and political integrity, good at commanding troops, they are all that kind of martial arts can go to Ma to calm the world, Wen can mention the pen to rule the world kind of people, Wang Ji is active in the southern expedition to Qiujian, the rebellion of Wenqin, the rebellion of the Eastern Expedition Zhuge and other large-scale military activities, Wang Ji and Sima Shi, Sima Zhao formed a deep military friendship. The official was the general of Zhengnan, the capital governor of Jingzhou's military, and the marquis of Dongwu. Wang Jing, the word Yanwei, a native of Qinghe County, Jizhou, this person is more legendary in the history of the Three Kingdoms, in the Three Kingdoms era of the nobles, Wang Jing was born as a peasant, and was promoted to an official because of the appreciation of his fellow villager Cui Lin. After the steady progress, successively served as Jiangxia Taishou, Yongzhou Assassin History, especially think of a peasant, a white body can reach this point, is obviously quite not a simple person, and Jiang Wei has also had a confrontation, Zhengyuan two years (255 years), when Jiang Wei invaded Longxi County, he led the army out of Di Dao City to meet the Shu army, although Wang Jing has strength, but the ability and Jiang Wei can confront Chen Tai and Guo Huai for a long time There is still a gap, naturally Jiang Wei was defeated. Surrounded in the city, he was at the end of his rope. Fortunately, with the assistance of the generals Chen Tai and Deng Ai, they worked together to defeat Jiang Wei and escaped. After that, he was recalled by the imperial court. Wang Jing is different from the above two, the above two are friends of Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, but he was killed by Sima Zhao. In the fifth year of Ganlu (260), Emperor Cao Chao of Wei summoned Wang Shen, Wang Jing, and Wang Ye to propose a plan to discuss Sima Zhao. Wang Jing admonished, but Cao Chao did not listen. On the day Cao Chao was killed, Wang Jing was executed because he did not report to Sima Zhao. (To be continued.) )
