Chapter 326: Internal Rebellion
Ye Shan and the slave got Wang Zhao's head, and when Zhang Xiang learned the news, he sent Niu Fu to assist Cao Jun in feintting to attack Qingzhou, although Niu Fu was not the kind of top general, but his subordinates were all cavalry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Liangzhou Iron Cavalry is also elite no matter how it is said, and it can be regarded as complementing each other when it is coordinated with Cao Jun, when Niu Fu received the order, he was also surprised that after all, Zhang Xiang had many generals under him.
I can't take his turn anymore! Niu Fu also deliberately asked his wife Dong Qing to go to Zhang Xiang's house to inquire about the situation, but Dong Qing met Zhang Xiang, in fact, Zhang Xiang had long expected that Dong Qing would come.
After all, it's not the first time Niu Fu has done this, "Sister, please go back!" Your worries are unfounded. Zhang Xiang personally issued the eviction order, and Dong Qing was not good at staying, but it also made Dong Qing feel at ease.
Zhang Xiang is still true to his own people, and the next day Niu Fu also took his Liangzhou iron cavalry to Qingzhou, after all, his back is Yanzhou, so Cao Jun is the main army, and Niu Fu's army can only be regarded as a guest army.
Under the jurisdiction of Cao Ren, Niu Fu also received a reminder from Zhang Xiang before he came, that is, he would not fight back before the war, scolding and not returning the mouth, and fully cooperate with Cao Jun's actions, Zhang Xiang's reinforcements had arrived, and Cao Cao ordered to attack Qingzhou.
Only the generals in charge knew that this was a feint, but the soldiers below did not know that whether it was Cao Jun or Zhang Xiang's army, they all implemented the method of nourishing war with war, and imitated the rules of the Qin Dynasty.
There is a heavy reward for killing the enemy, so the combat mood on both sides is very high, Niu Fu is guest army naturally does not need to charge ahead, it is to act with the Cao army, Xiahoudun's vanguard army has approached the city where Wang Zhao was stationed.
It was also at this time that Ye Shan and Wang Zhao approached the position of the Chinese army and asked to see Niu Fu, and the military power proved their identity, so Wang Zhao's head fell into the hands of Niu Fu, and when Niu Fu's army reached the city.
Xiahoudun has been attacking the city for two days, if it weren't for the feint attack on him, he would have taken the city a long time ago, and the combat effectiveness of the Yuan army is much worse than Xiahoudun imagined, which is completely different from the Yuan army in Xiahoudun's impression.
When the Chinese army arrived at the battlefield and was commanded by Cao Ren, Cao Ren's siege methods were even more straightforward, pretending to be very similar, but unfortunately the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, but it was a pity that Niu Fu would not let Cao Jun pretend.
Niu Fu led people to the city and raised Wang Zhao's head, and the Yuan army in the city panicked for a moment, and at this time Niu Fu's men also began to attack the city, although the Liangzhou iron cavalry was not good at attacking the city.
But it is still very easy to deal with a group of frightened people, the gate of the city was opened in an instant, Cao Jun just didn't want to enter and had to enter, and Cao Ren couldn't hold Niu Fu accountable, after all, he didn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person.
Niu Fu gave Wang Zhao's head to Cao Ren, Wang Zhao is a famous general in Qingzhou, and it can be regarded as a belated gift, Cao Ren naturally reported this matter to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao only replied with a sentence of resting on the spot and not moving.
Although the city was broken by Niu Fu, and Wang Zhao was also killed by Zhang Xiang's people, this account was calculated on his own head, which Cao Cao could still see, and it was really not a feint attack if he continued to fight like this.
Zhang Xiang can play these tricks, which is also within the acceptable range of Cao Cao, but Yuan Tan can't accept it, and the loss of Wang Zhao's dead city is a great shame for Yuan Tan.
Yuan Tan could not fail, and at the juncture of the brotherly infighting, Yuan Tan did not ask Jizhou for help, but led the troops against Cao Jun with Gao Gan, of course, Yuan Shao also knew about it through Xu You.
The soldiers and horses dispatched by Zhang Xiang and Cao Cao are not too much compared to the Jizhou army, so Yuan Shao also has the intention of honing Yuan Tan, but Yuan Shao still sent the veteran Han Qiong out, just to protect Yuan Tan's safety.
Cao Ren stubbornly defended the city and closed his door, Yuan Tan Gao had no way to do it, and the two parties could be said to be at peace with each other, but at this time, Niu Fu disobeyed the order and went out of the city to fight.
The Qingzhou army was caught off guard, and Cao Ren couldn't watch Niu Fu respond to the enemy independently, so he had to order Xiahoudun to go out of the city to support, but he didn't think that the Qingzhou army would be easily defeated, and the Cao army could be described as a small victory.
After the war, Cao Ren found Niu Fu, "General Niu, didn't your department receive my order?" If you lose the city if you go out of the city rashly, can you take this responsibility? ā
Niu Fu: "Your order can't control my Liangzhou army, we are here to cooperate with you, the soldiers outside are so weak, they can be leveled in an instant, your Cao army can endure our Liangzhou army." ā
Xiahoudun also rushed back from the battlefield, Xiahoudun's soldiers were too poor, especially when fighting this kind of tailwind battle, it was very difficult to discipline, Xiahoudun came back so late to collect his soldiers.
As soon as I came back, I heard Niu Fu's words, Xiahou Tang didn't care about the overall situation as much as Cao Ren, "Niu Fu, what are you doing?" You are just a general, you are not conspicuous under Yongzhou Mu, it is better to be a little more restrained. ā
Niu Fu: "How about me, I don't care about General Xiahou, and I dare to take care of me if my own soldiers are not well managed." When Xiahoudun heard this, he wanted to make a move, but was finally stopped by Cao Ren.
Niu Fu's approach today is not wrong in the battle situation, and it is even very meritorious, but from the perspective of the overall situation, it is very wrong, and the starting point of this battle is completely different, Cao Ren does not believe that Niu Fu does not know that they are feint to attack Qingzhou this time.
Could it be that the order Niu Fu received was different from his own, everything made Cao Ren's boss, have to mumble, and within a few days, Cao Ren received the news that Han Qiong had joined the war.
The development of the battle situation is getting bigger and bigger, Cao Ren has no time to take care of Niu Fu's small actions, Han Qiong, a veteran, is not easy to mess with, whether it is martial arts or commanding troops, he is a rare good player in the world.
When Yuan Tan saw Han Qiong, he was filled with joy and sorrow in his heart, happy that with Han Qiong's support was enough to drive Cao Jun out of Qingzhou, and sad that Han Qiong's joining meant that he was embarrassed in front of Yuan Shao.
Yuan Tan could imagine Yuan Shang's schadenfreude, Han Qiong led the troops to fight, Niu Fu suddenly shrank back, and the angry Xiahou scolded his mother, and Cao Ren also saw it.
Niu Fu's support is a-stirring stick, he doesn't shoot when he should shoot, he shoots blindly when he shouldn't, and he has to hold the title of a guest army, so you have no way at all.
If it weren't for the garrison of the city, Cao Ren would have chosen to settle inside first, and the stalemate on the battlefield in Qingzhou, and Cao Cao's intended feint and temptation turned into a confrontation between the two flesh and meat.
Moreover, the Cao army cannot withdraw its troops yet, and once the troops are withdrawn, it will be even more impossible to flank the Yuan army in the next year, but it is also impossible to increase the troops, and once the troops are increased, the matter will be big, and then the decisive battle in the coming year will come first.
In the case of insufficient food and grass, Cao Cao would not choose to go to war, and Cao Cao believed that Zhang Xiang would also think like this, so Cao Cao could only believe that Cao Ren could retreat with his whole body.
Han Qiong dug a lot of traps outside the city, which was usually done by the defenders, but Han Qiong did the opposite, in order to prevent the cavalry in the city from rushing and killing, Han Qiong planned to trap the invading enemy in the city.
Last year's locust plague, this year's grain has not yet grown, Han Qiong expects that there is not much grain and grass in the city, even if it is captured by Cao Jun, Yuan Jun has a habit, that is, the army will never store too much grain and grass.
Another place where grain and grass are always hidden, that is, for fear of letting the enemy army take advantage of it and unable to use the method of fighting to nourish the war, Han Qiong chose to besiege the city without attacking, and sent all the scouts in the army out.
It was to guard against Cao Cao's reinforcements, because of Han Qiong's old ways, Cao Jun's feint attack was a complete failure, and Cao Jun did not bring much grain and grass, not even as much as Niu Fu.
And at this time, Cao Ren couldn't care about anything, and directly ordered the army to have unified jurisdiction over grain and grass, which caused Niu Fu's resistance, but in the end the resistance was ineffective, if it wasn't for the siege.
Niu Fu will not compromise easily, so the contradiction between the main army and the guest army is getting bigger and bigger, and he can only defend the city separately, but fortunately, Cao Ren is still very fair, and he is not biased.
Otherwise, there will be really chaos in the city, even so, the food and grass in the army can only last for half a month, and Cao Ren will not risk breaking through under unknown circumstances, after all, his current position is not far from Yanzhou.
Cao Cao's reinforcements were easy to support, and he rushed out to attack for fear of losing his soldiers, and Cao Cao couldn't increase his troops here, so Cao Cao thought of talking, but at this time, Xin Bi came to Xuchang to see Cao Cao.
Xinbi Cao Cao still heard a little, Xinbi directly expressed the intention of taking refuge, and there was a way to take over the siege of the city, Xinbi's sending charcoal in the snow was too timely, and it caused Cao Cao's suspicion in time.
Cao Cao: "Your Xin family is also a big family in Jizhou, aren't you afraid of taking risks in this move?" ā
Xin Bi: "This is also thanks to Cao Sikong's plan, otherwise our Xin family would not have come to this point, why would Cao Sikong knowingly ask?" Sikong's means are admired by our Xin family. ā
Cao Cao didn't ask knowingly, but he really didn't know, but Cao Cao immediately thought of Zhang Xiang, and it seemed that Zhang Xiang was making trouble behind his back, but Cao Cao had to accept this gift from the Xin family.
Cao Cao could only pretend to know, "What is the solution?" Let me see what the Xin family is capable of. ā
Xin Bi: "In fact, it is not the ability of our Xin family but the ability of adults, Xiu Liang is Cao Sikong's person, he is in Yuan Tan's personal army command, once Yuan Tan is held hostage, Yuan Jun retreats and can even take Qingzhou in one fell swoop." ā
At this time, Cao Cao really wanted to ask who Xiu Liang was! However, Cao Cao knew that he couldn't take Qingzhou at this time, "This is impossible, now is not the time for a decisive battle, do you have any other way?" ā
Xin Bi: "Our Xin family still has a certain status in Qingzhou, although we can't mobilize the entire Xin family, but it's no problem to transfer a part, Han Qiong is busy this time, the grain and grass are supported by our Qingzhou locals, and there is a way to cut off its grain and grass in the short term."
