On May 17, the twelfth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei took the lead in launching an attack on Jianyang.

Nieyang ordered Guan Ping, gathered soldiers and horses from Nieyang and Anzhong counties, and launched a sneak attack on Jianyang with a total of 6,000 people. That night, Fu Wei, the lieutenant of Jianyang County, died in the Thorn Water Battalion, and the whole army was annihilated. Jianyang ordered Deng Zhi to immediately prepare for battle, and urgently asked for help from the defender of Jiunu City, Cao Shi Duji, a soldier of Nanyang County. When he was a child, Nanyang County soldier Cao Shi Duji gathered 3,000 soldiers and horses, and quickly reinforced the city of Jianyang from the Nine Women's City.

Guan Ping, then stationed in the south to gather at the ferry.

The sudden battle not only caught Deng Zhi off guard, but also Cao Peng, who was also extremely surprised.

At noon the next day, Cao Peng received the news that Jianyang had been attacked, and he couldn't help but be surprised...... However, when he heard that Fu Wei had died on the bank of the Thorn River, he was immediately furious. After a short period of panic, Cao Peng ordered, with Dian Man and Xu Yi as the vanguard, he personally led 6,000 soldiers and horses to rush to Jianyang to help. As soon as this war machine was turned on, the entire county town of Wuyin immediately became operational. The grain stored in the treasury and all kinds of ordnance materials were continuously transported outward. A group of soldiers and horses pulled out of the camp and assembled outside Wuyin City.

"Uncle!"

Cao Peng put on his armor, and when he was about to leave, he was blocked by Deng Ai.

"You can't send troops."

"Why?"

Cao Peng looked at Deng Ai in surprise, a little incomprehensible.

"Not to mention that Jianyang is guarded by two uncles, Deng and Du, even if Liu Bei's soldiers and horses occupy Nanqiju, they don't want to conquer Jianyang. On the contrary, it is your dispatch that makes the Wuyin army empty. In case Liu Bei crosses the river to attack, Wuyin may be difficult to resist, and he hopes that his uncle will think twice. ”

Deng Ai grabbed Cao Peng's sleeve and loudly dissuaded him.

And Cao Peng hesitated for a moment, then smiled.

"Don't worry, Liu Bei doesn't dare to do it."

He knows Liu Bei too well!

This person is definitely a master who can't afford to be unprofitable.

Once he used troops against Wuyin, it represented Liu Bei's official declaration of war on Cao Cao. Although it is said that Liu Bei conquered Wancheng before, he had declared war on Cao Cao. But under Liu Biao's suppression, coupled with the current situation in Nanyang, it is definitely not a good opportunity to start a war, how could Liu Bei send troops?

At this time, Tan Ma Lai reported: Wancheng soldiers and horses were frequently mobilized this morning.

Chen Zhi and Lu Ji were the main generals of Xi'e and Bowang, and at the same time contracted their forces and made a defensive posture.

Liu Bei ordered Xun Chen to guard Wancheng, and he personally led his troops and horses, with Guan Zhang Zhaoyun as the vanguard, and rushed to Nieyang......

Cao Peng patted Deng Ai's little head and said softly: "As I expected, Liu Bei didn't dare to do it." He sent troops to Nieyang, on the one hand, to prevent the situation from expanding, and on the other hand, he did not have the intention of taking advantage of the situation. If I don't rush to the aid of Jianyang, then Deng Bomiao and Du Bohou will be difficult to resist Liu Bei. At that time, Liu Bei could capture Thorn Yang in one fell swoop, and I would definitely be passive when the time came.

Little Aidang stayed at home and studied hard with your Uncle Yang.

Besides, Thorn Yang is only a day's journey away from Wuyin. If Wuyin is in danger, I will immediately come back to help, so what can Liu Bei do to me? ”

After saying that, Cao Peng shook off Deng Ai's little hand and strode out of the mansion.

There were camel soldiers who had prepared horses for him.

Cao Peng turned on his horse and led the camel soldiers to leave at a gallop.

Deng Ai ran out of the gate of the mansion, stood on the doorstep, and looked at Cao Peng's distant back, revealing a touch of worry on his still childish face.

"Xiao Ai, what's wrong with you?"

Cai Di stepped forward and asked softly.

Deng Ai said softly: "I don't know, I just think that this time, my uncle may have underestimated Liu Bei." ”

Cai Di heard this and laughed dumbly.

He patted Deng Ai on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiao Ai, don't worry. How many times has the teacher been in a crisis? Mere Liu Xuande, how can you help the teacher? In my opinion, you are overthinking...... By the way, Shi Niang just wrote an article and asked me to send it to Master Lu. It's just that I still have something to do here, and Yang Juncheng told me to go see Uncle Jiang. Why don't you make a hard trip and help me send this article over. ”

As he spoke, Cai Di handed a book bag to Deng Ai.

Deng Ai took it, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send it to Lu Zhuji." ”

Master Lu is the main secretary of the room Shi Lu Yu.

Lu Yu is in charge of Nanyang Pravda, and although it is published every ten days, the task is extremely heavy. As Cao Peng's tongue in Nanyang County, Nanyang Pravda bears the responsibility of guiding public opinion in Nanyang County. Don't underestimate this public opinion, it will have a huge influence at a critical moment. Now, Liu Bei's brazen dispatch of troops is by no means a trivial matter. Nanyang Pravda must pass on this news as soon as possible, and in the name of righteousness, it must condemn Liu Bei's atrocities...... In the past, whenever something big happened, Cao Peng would write articles in Nanyang Pravda.

For example, in the inaugural issue of the first issue of Nanyang Pravda after the spring ploughing, Cao Peng wrote an article discussing digging ditches while the farmers were slack to prevent drought. How to dig canals and how to strengthen water conservancy construction were topics that were widely discussed at that time.

For those who are strong in Nanyang, they own a large area of land.

How to ensure their interests and income is what they are most concerned about.

The excavation of the canal, whether it is for Nanyang Haoqiang or for the government, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Although Cao Peng proposed that the excavation of the canal should be dominated by the powerful families, many people were dissatisfied. But if you think about it, if the government digs a canal, there will inevitably be many disputes. Therefore, after discussion, these powerful people decided to contribute funds to dig canals on their respective lands, and then the government came forward to make adjustments and erect Cao Gong...... In this way, it is undoubtedly a happy outcome for both parties.

Now, if Cao Peng wants to go to war, he will naturally issue a statement.

Cao Peng didn't have time, so Huang Yueying ghostwrote, and in accordance with Cao Peng's habits, wrote a sprinkling editorial.

The title of this editorial is: Do not want to fight, never fear war!

Huang Yueying first named the subject, and then stated the process of the attack on Thorn Yang.

In the editorial, he praised the heroic behavior of Fu Wei and others, and at the same time reprimanded Liu Bei's group, tore up the treaty, brazenly launched a war, and undermined the peace situation in Nanyang County......

It is not much different from the editorials in the newspapers of later generations.

But in this era, it has extraordinary significance.

Cao Peng took the lead in occupying the commanding heights of morality, and as far as Nanyang County Haoqiang is concerned, this aura of justice is also shrouded in Cao Peng.

After receiving the editorial, Lu Yu immediately ordered typesetting and printing.

Nanyang Pravda issued a supplement for the first time, and it had to be transmitted to the hands of powerful people in various places on the same day...... There are only two editions of the supplement, one of which tells the story in a flat and direct way. On the other page, Huang Yueying's editorials are the mainstay, and other comments are added.

The number of supplements, 3,000 copies.

The target is not only the powerful in various places, but also the academies in Nanyang.

As the editor-in-chief of Nanyang Pravda, Lu Yu naturally would not let go of such an opportunity and personally wrote an essay to Liu Bei.

The printing of the newspaper began rapidly.

The entire Nanyang Pravda Hall has become extremely busy......

Deng Ai walked all the way, only to see that everyone was in a hurry, and they were very busy.

"Cao Youxue, have you sent troops?"

Xun Chen stood on the bank of the Yushui River, standing with his hands in his hands.

"At noon, Cao Peng took Dian Man and Xu Yi as the vanguard, personally led the soldiers and horses, and rushed to Jianyang."

"That is to say, dancing in the shadows and guarding the emptiness?"

"Exactly."

Xun Chen's face showed a faint smile.

He turned around abruptly and looked at the two generals standing behind him, "Yide, Zilong, the future of the lord is in the hands of you and me today.

Now the lord's father-in-law led his troops and horses to ambush Cao Peng with the second general.

Yide immediately set off with his troops and horses...... Remember, don't startle a snake.

I and Zilong Duzhong's army then attacked, and by tomorrow morning at the latest, we joined up with Yide, and then conquered Wuyin in one fell swoop.

Once Wuyin is lost, Cao Peng's layout in Nanyang will also fall short. Although he has Nanyang Pravda as his mouthpiece, if he does not have enough force, it is also difficult to gain a foothold. After Yide arrives at Wuyin, he must hide his tracks and must not attack without permission. ”

"Whoa!"

Zhang Fei heard this and intervened.

He turned around and strode away, while Zhao Yun was expressionless.

Cao Peng is right, with the current situation, Liu Bei really does not dare to act rashly.

However, he overlooked one thing......

Liu Guanzhang is a three-person brother, and Enruo is a brother. Although it is said that the three knots of Taoyuan are made up by later generations, the feelings of Liu Bei and the three are not fabricated.

Moreover, the relationship between the three of them is by no means comparable to Xiao Bayi.

Xiao Bayi was married to Jinlan in Xu Du, and to put it bluntly, there was an element of showmanship in it.

Especially Cao Zhen and others, they don't have such a deep relationship with Cao Peng. In Xiao Bayi, except for Wang Mai and Deng Fan, the relationship between the rest of the people and Cao Peng is far less deep than that of Wang Mai and Deng Fan. Cao Peng's three people are sincere worship; Cao Zhen and Zhu praised Cao Zun and the three of them, and they had deep feelings. And Dian Man and Xu Yi, although they also have some friendship, they are not as pure as Liu Guanzhang and the three of them at the beginning of their acquaintance.

Cao Peng underestimated the feelings of Liu Bei and the three.

He never expected that when Guan Yu was determined to take revenge, Liu Bei would support Guan Yu in sending troops regardless of the consequences......

And Xun Chen, Zhuge Liang, Ma Liang, and these strategists did not dissuade Liu Bei, but made concerted efforts to make suggestions for Liu Bei's troops.

Although Xun Chen did not approve of Liu Bei's dispatch of troops in his heart.

In other words, he did not approve of Liu Bei taking the initiative......

Since Liu Bei has made up his mind, Xun Chen, who is the first mastermind by Liu Bei's side, will naturally plan carefully for Liu Bei. Just yesterday, Zhuge Liang had left Wancheng and returned to Xiangyang overnight to enlist the support of the old department of Shanyang.

In Jingzhou, Kuai Yue and others are not the only ones.

Although the old department of Shanyang has been estranged from Liu Biao, there is still a huge amount of energy.

Liu Biao was indeed unwilling to be an enemy of Cao Cao...... In other words, in the current situation, he did not dare to be an enemy of Cao Cao. But if Liu Bei can really capture Wuyin and defeat Cao Peng this time, Liu Biao will never object. If Cao Cao loses Nanyang, then Xu Du will be exposed under Liu Biao's nose. Although he was afraid of Cao Cao, he wouldn't mind and add some trouble to Cao Cao......

Thinking of this, Xun Chen's face flashed with a cold look.

He turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yun, "Zilong, immediately send someone to Bowang again to remind Shu Zhi: The key to the battle of Wuyin is whether he can hold Wei Yan back." ”

Zhao Yun surrendered his hand and strode away.

Xun Chen took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Wen Ruo, after this battle, do you dare to say that my choice is wrong?
