Chapter 623: Natural Disaster (2/2)

As Cao Peng said, Wen Ping was ambushed by Huang Zhong on the way to help and fled to Zhangling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

If it weren't for his quick reaction, he might even have been copied by Pang De, and even Zhang Ling was almost lost. But even so, the clerk suffered a heavy loss. Nearly 10,000 soldiers were brought from Deng County, and Huang Zhong and Pang De joined forces, beheaded hundreds, captured nearly 2,000 people, and countless people were missing. After this defeat, Wenpin was no longer able to rescue Liu Hu, and even sent people to Xiangyang for help, begging for reinforcements to support......

Liu Hu saw that the reinforcements were not coming, and the soldiers and horses in Xiangxiang were panicked.

Knowing that this Xiangxiang was difficult to hold, two days later, he led his troops to break through the siege, led the remnants of the defeated army and fled hundreds of people out of Xiangxiang, and went to Zhangling to join Wenpin.

Cao Peng almost lost his blood, captured Xiangxiang, and opened the door to Zhangling.

At the same time, Li Tong and Yu Ban launched an attack on Xiyang. Liu Qi resisted desperately, seeing that Xiyang was about to lose his support, and a majestic rain finally saved his predicament. Since Li Tongyu was forbidden to cross the border, he did not carry much grain and grass. Now a heavy rain has caused Cao Jun's grain and grass to be in trouble. In particular, the grain and grass escorted from Xingju must pass through the green forest and mountains before they can be sent to Pingchun. A heavy rain made the mountain roads difficult and the transportation of grain and grass extremely difficult, forcing Li Tong to ban the attack, and had to suspend the attack and retreat to Pingchun. The two of them guarded Yan County and Pingchun, and always maintained great pressure on Liu Qi.

Originally, Li Tong planned to attack after the rain, but he didn't want to, but this heavy rain didn't end.

The battle situation in Jiangxia has reached a stalemate.

On the Zhangling side, because of this sudden heavy rain, Cao Peng had to suspend the attack on Zhangling and retreated to Xiangxiang.

The rain continued for several days.

Cao Peng was worried, and his brows furrowed as he watched the water skyrocket.

"Ah Fu, what are you worried about?"

Cao Zhen looked at the worry on his face, and couldn't help but ask.

"Such heavy rain at this time, I am very worried about this year's harvest in Nanyang.

As far as I know, the rivers have not been repaired for a long time, and if the banks burst, it will inevitably cause widespread flooding. If such a situation really occurs, I am afraid that Jia Taizhong's side will be under pressure...... It's better to go back to Wuyin immediately, what do you think, brother? ”

"That Zhangling ......"

"For the matter of Zhang Ling, please leave it to my brother.

Wenpin was newly defeated, Liu Hu was frightened, and he was no longer able to attack. I have ordered Ming to guard Tangzi Township, and my brother will leave Zhenxiang Township...... Subsequently, I will order Li Yan to come to assist. The purpose of this battle has been achieved, and I estimate that if Zhang Lingwen has no reinforcements, he will not raise troops with his brother. ”

Cao Zhen thought about it, then nodded in response.

He came to Nanyang County in the hope of establishing a meritorious career.

Riding in the tiger and leopard before, although it is said to be majestic, there are not too many opportunities to really make contributions. Even if Cao Cao is extremely fond of Cao Zhen, he can't help but have some concerns. At least, until Cao Zhen failed to reveal his true means, Cao Cao would not be able to let him take charge alone.

Now, it is indeed Cao Zhen's best opportunity......

At that moment, Cao Peng discussed with Cao Zhen and quickly handed over.

He handed over the tiger talisman to Cao Zhen, asked Cao Zhentun to be stationed in Xiangxiang, and then asked Pang De to garrison Tangzi Township, while monitoring the Jingzhou soldiers and horses on Caiyang's side. Li Yan was recommended by him to Cao Zhen's account, and was immediately reused by Cao Zhen, entrusted with the position of captain of Lishui, led his troops to establish the source of Lishui, and Cao Zhen was at the corner of each other, which continued to put pressure on Zhang Ling. As for the reaction, what will be the reaction of the clerk? Cao Zhen is not worried. With the development of the war, Runan County has intervened in the Nanyang war, so that the forces of the Huyang side have been replenished.

Unless Jingzhou does its best, I'm afraid Cao Zhen can't help it.

Before leaving, Cao Peng recommended Lu Chang to Cao Zhen again, saying that after returning to Wuyin, he would let Lu Chang come to help Cao Zhen deal with it.

Cao Zhen will certainly not refuse this.

He doesn't have many people at his disposal, and it wouldn't be bad if he could get a few good helpers.

Cao Zhen had already met Li Yan and knew that Li Yan was a talent. Presumably, Lu Chang, who was recommended by Cao Peng, is also a usable person, how could he refuse? In fact, Cao Zhen is already twenty-eight years old, and he has almost reached the age of being independent. Even if he didn't come to Nanyang this time, after Cao Cao's class, he would send Cao Zhen out and entrust him with important tasks. However, Cao Zhen has a big problem, that is, he has no staff. It's impossible to ask for manpower from Cao Cao! Doesn't that seem to be Cao Zhen's prestige insufficient?

Thinking of Cao Peng, when he was the lieutenant of the northern part of Luoyang, his subordinates gathered a group of capable people.

By the time he was appointed as the Taishou of Hexi, he already had a team and gathered a lot of talents......

Cao Zhen decided to follow Cao Peng's example and began to form his own team. Li Yankan is very useful, but he doesn't know what about Lu Chang?

Come to think of it, since Cao Peng recommended him, he is not an idle person.

Forming his own team as early as possible is also an extremely important thing for Cao Zhen.

In this way, after Cao Zhen and Cao Peng finished discussing, Cao Peng led his troops back to Huyang. Leaving with him were Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng.

Originally, Pound was going to go with him, but he was persuaded by Cao Peng.

The reason is very simple, the battle of Zhangling is very important, and Cao Zhenchu also needs help when he first arrives in Nanyang. He even wanted to keep Huang Zhong as well, but Huang Zhong refused. And what about Pound? I have followed Cao Peng for a long time, and I know Cao Zhen well, and I can help.

Even if Huang Zhong won Wenpin, Cao Zhen still couldn't believe it.

On the contrary, it was Pound, and Cao was really favored...... It was precisely because of this situation that Huang Zhong was reluctant to stay in Xiangxiang. Instead of being a decoration here, it is better to be with Cao Peng. At least, Cao Peng won't have any concerns about him because of his age.

Cao Peng saw that Huang Zhong had made up his mind, so he had no choice but to respond.

In the middle of July of the twelfth year of Jian'an, Nanyang County rained repeatedly.

Many rivers in Nanyang County, such as Yushui, Danshui, Junshui, and Chushui, have suffered various disasters due to excessive water potential......

The dam burst downstream of the Danshui River, flooding more than a dozen villages and killing and injuring hundreds.

Due to the disrepair of the river embankment, many embankments were executed, causing nearly 1,000 deaths; And the most serious disaster is still Yushui!

Just as Cao Peng had feared, Yushui was clogged by the siltation of the river, causing the sunset to be flooded.

Fortunately, Cao Peng was well prepared and ordered Wei Yan to closely monitor and rescue in time, and there were no too many casualties. However, the large gathering of nearly 2,000 households, because of this flood, many people had to leave their homes and be displaced. Fortunately, Cao Peng had sent people to make preparations in Xi'e County before and built a camp that could accommodate 10,000 people. And a large amount of grain and grass was seconded from Yingchuan and hoarded in Luyang. As a result, a large number of displaced people did not emerge and the situation on the ground was stabilized. But it was precisely for this reason that when Liu Bei evacuated Wancheng, although Wei Yan was aware, he was powerless to pursue, so he could only watch Liu Bei leave......

On July 18, the twelfth year of Jian'an, the rain stopped.

Cao Peng led his troops into Wancheng, and after a year, he recaptured the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

At the same time, Liu Biao appointed Wang Wei as the Taishou of Nanyang County, and changed guards with Liu Bei in Xinye, officially declaring war on Cao Peng...... And Liu Bei, although he lost Xinye, got Fancheng. After he was ordered to garrison Fancheng, he mobilized his troops and horses, and temporarily hibernated, waiting for the time to come......

On the same day, Cao Cao was in the White Wolf Mountain and had a decisive battle with Liaoxi Karasuma!
