Chapter 334: Fighting for Yanzhou

In March, the north was warm. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Cao Zhang led nearly 30,000 horses to run outside the city of Xudu. Hearing that Cao Zhang came with soldiers and horses, Cao Pi asked who could go to block Cao Zhang from the city, and only let Cao Zhang enter the city alone to mourn. The veteran Le Jin was light, and Cao Pi didn't know that Le Jin had secretly taken refuge in Cao Zhang, so he sent him to lead the city guard to meet Cao Zhang.

After Le Jin got the soldiers and horses, he did not go out of the city but surrounded the palace. Cao Pi knew that Lejin rebelled, but it was too late and he wanted to leave, but there were few people around. Xiahoudun asked Xiahouba and others to protect this Cao Pi and go first, and personally led the palace guards to meet Lejin. Le Jin wanted Xiahoudun to be defeated, and after Xiahoudun broke out of the encirclement, he asked Xiahouba to escort Cao Pi, who was dressed as a soldier, to go first.

Xiahoudun led his army to attack the south gate, and Xiahouba covered Cao Pi and escaped from the north gate. It is said that when Cao Pi came out of Xudu, he wanted to wait for Xiahoudun to go to Cao Ren in the south together, but he didn't want the front to rout to report that Xiahoudun had just met the tiger general Xu Chu at the south gate and was beheaded by Xu Chu!

Hearing that Xu Chu was broken, Cao Pi was shocked, and Xiahou Ba said that Xu could not stay for a long time, so he hurriedly escorted Cao Pi to the east. The two walked for nearly dozens of miles, and when they came to a hill, they suddenly waved a flag in front of them, and it seemed that someone was leading the troops. Xiahou Ba was shocked, and hurriedly led Cao Pi to the back of the mountain, but he didn't want another army of soldiers and horses to surround the two of them.

In front of a black war horse, the two were grabbed and thrown under the horse. Cao Pi raised his head to look at the person in front of him, and the person in front of him recognized Cao Pi at a glance, Cao Pi thought that his fate was resting, and he didn't want to suddenly get off his horse and kneel: "King Wei atoned for his sins, I will wait for ...... late" Xiahou Ba took a look, it was no one else in front of him, it was Cao Cao's trusted strategist Manzhong!

Man Pet loosened the tie to Cao Pi, Cao Pi asked Man Pet how many people he brought, and Man Pet Yan brought 10,000 soldiers and horses! Cao Pi wanted to go to Xuzhou, but he said that at this time, while Cao Zhangchu occupied Xudu, the people's hearts were unstable, and when he led the troops to attack him, he would definitely be able to win and defeat Cao Zhang!

Xiahou Ba was also willing to lead the troops to avenge Xiahou Dun, but in desperation, Cao Pi had to let Xiahou Ba be the vanguard, and Man Pet went to attack Xu Du for the Chinese army. At night, the black hand did not see the five fingers, it was a good time for a surprise attack, Xiahou Ba led two thousand elite soldiers straight to Sima Yi's camp outside Xu Du, and Man Pet led the troops straight to Xu Du. Xiahou Ba got the news from the rout that Cao Zhang's daring to attack was mostly Sima Yi's attention, so he was ready to take Sima Yi's soldiers and horses at night first.

The person who was blowing in the wind couldn't help but shudder, and Xiahou Ba killed more than a dozen patrol soldiers at the moment and threw the torches into Sima Yi's nearly 1,000 camps. When the fire was blazing, but Sima Yi didn't see a soldier come out, and when Xiahou Ba yelled that it was not good, Le Jin outflanked him from behind, and there were Guo Huai and others in front, and Xiahou Ba was defeated and hurriedly retreated.

When Xiahou Ba came out, there was no one left behind him, and he was also stabbed three times, if he hadn't robbed a horse, he would have died in the chaos long ago. When Xiahou Ba was defeated in Shangang Town, Manzhong also supported Cao Pi and rushed to Shangang City, Xiahouba saw Manpet, and nearly 10,000 troops were all broken!

When the three of them met again, Cao Pi became in pain, and before he could comfort Cao Pi, Cao Zhang's soldiers and horses chased after him. Xiahou Ba let Cao Pi wear his own clothes, let Man Pet cover Cao Pi to go to Xuzhou, and he went south to distract Cao Zhang's attention.

Sure enough, when he saw Xiahou Ba wearing Cao Pi's clothes, Cao Zhang really went to chase Xiahou Ba, and waited for Cao Pi to leave on the mountain, and then escorted Cao Pi, the king of Wei, to Xuzhou.

It is said that when Cao Zhang chased Xiahouba until he reached a big mountain, Xiahouba abandoned his horse and fled to the mountain, Cao Zhang searched in the mountains for nearly two days and did not find Xiahouba, so he had to lead his troops back to Xudu. After Cao Zhang arrived in Xudu, he issued an order to the counties, saying that Cao Pi was not virtuous, so he removed Cao Pi from the throne and ascended the throne of Wei himself.

After Cao Zhang entered Yanzhou, he began a purge campaign, and those courtiers close to Cao Pi were arrested one by one. When Xun You and Cheng Yu heard that Cao Zhang was coming, they advocated letting the veteran Xu Huang go to meet Cao Zhang, Cao Pi did not stop, and the two were afraid that Cao Zhang would persecute themselves after entering the city, so they hurriedly packed up their soft things and went to Bianjing City, so the two survived.

After Cao Zhang changed all the officials in Xudu, he began to attack those Taishou who did not come to surrender, including Cao Ren, who was guarding in Chen. In the spring of 221, Cao Ren and Chen Liutaishou Xu Huang jointly sent troops to attack Xudu, Cao Zhang spent a year to unify the northern counties, and the soldiers were strong for a while, so when Xu Huang led the troops to arrive outside Xudu, the two had just exchanged troops, Xu Huang was defeated by Sima Yi with a strategy, and Xu Huang's five thousand soldiers and horses were lost nearly half in a battle. Xu Huang had to lead his troops back to Chenliu, and when Xu Huang arrived at Chenliu, Chenliu County had been secretly occupied by Guo Huai.

Xu Huang had nowhere to go but to go to Chen Guotou Cao Ren, Cao Ren had already led his troops to the Chenliu border, and when he heard that Xu Huang was defeated by Sima Yi, he couldn't close his mouth in surprise for a while. This Sima Yi had never led troops when Cao Cao was there, so he didn't want to look away.

Cao Ren wanted to meet Sima Yi in person, but he was afraid that after he left, Sima Yi would unite with Yuan Shang to seize Chen State, so he left his deputy general to guard Chen State, and he and Xu Huang went to attack Xu Du together. In May, the two led the troops to fight with Sima Yi in Chenliu, and the two were inseparable, and suddenly the news came from the Chen State, saying that Yuan Shang led the troops to attack the Chen State, if the Chen State had been occupied by Yuan Shang!

There was a strong enemy in front of him, and he was cut off from the back road again, and seeing that the food and grass were running out again, Cao Ren was faintly worried and did not dare to fight for several days. Sima Yi had long known the reason for Cao Ren's worries, and led his troops to attack Cao Ren, but Cao Ren's soldiers heard that Chen Guo had been lost, and their fighting spirit was insufficient, so they finally couldn't resist the attack of Sima Yi and Xu Chu and others, so they had to lead their troops to join Liang State.

After Cao Ren and Xu Huang defected to Liang, they learned that Cao Pi, the king of Wei, had arrived in Xuzhou, and Cao Pi begged King Pengcheng to send troops to quell the Yanzhou rebellion. This is Yanzhou's internal affairs, I don't want to interfere, the most important thing is that at this time, my soldiers and horses are concentrating on attacking Yizhou, if I fight on both sides, I'm afraid I can't supply my own food and grass!

Just when Tao Ying was hesitating, news suddenly came from Jingnan that Wei Yan had quickly advanced to Chengdu with the help of Jiang Wan and other Yizhou generals. Liu Zhang's general Zhang Ren was also captured by Lu Xun and beheaded by Lu Xun in the river.

The good news in front kept coming, Tao Ying suppressed the idea of immediately capturing Yanzhou, and asked Cao Pi to temporarily stay in Pengcheng, and wait for Wei Yan and Lu Xun to capture Yizhou before waving his troops to fight Cao Zhang!

Cao Pi had no choice but to live in Xuzhou, and after Tao Ying appeased Cao Pi, he ordered Zhuge Liang, Ma Chao and others to prepare for the war, preparing to capture Yanzhou in the coming year!
