Chapter 228

When Cao Cao withdrew to Chen Liu with his soldiers and horses, he heard that Chen Xun secretly led 10,000 elites to attack Xuchang under the guise of attacking Chen Liu, Xuchang is Cao Cao's hinterland, but there were not many soldiers and horses at this time, which made Chen Xun's surprise attack successful. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info When the news of the loss of Xuchang came out, Cao Cao was not to be outdone, taking advantage of the opportunity that Chen Xun was now supervising the division in Xuchang to immediately attack the 200,000 Guanzhong soldiers outside the city of Chen, the same Guanzhong soldiers were left by Chen Xun to command the overall situation Zhao Yun did not expect Cao Cao's reaction, the same surprise, it can be said that the loss of the army is broken.

Zhao Yun retreated to the Tiger Pass, on the surface Chen Xun did not seem to take any advantage, on the contrary, the casualties were much greater than Cao Cao, but in fact, Chen Xun, who took Xuchang, the capital of Yuzhou, was much cheaper than Cao Cao, and after taking Xuchang, Chen Xun was able to connect with Sun Ce, who attacked Yuzhou, and at that time, Cao Cao not only had to face his Guanzhong soldiers, but also Sun Ce's Jiangdong soldiers.

In addition, most of the periphery of Xuchang is plains, and a big battle in Xuchang is very advantageous for Chen Xun's cavalry group. Chen Xun divided his army of 5,000 to attack Shangcai, the capital of Runan County, which made Cao Ang, the governor of Yuzhou, exhausted.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Ce's army attacked on all fronts and attacked Cao's army on the front line of Runan, and Cao Ang's army was defeated and retreated in the direction of Xiangcheng. Yuzhou County was caught in the flames of war.

Although half of Yuzhou has been lost now, it does not affect Cao Cao's confidence.

Cao Cao told his subordinates that this battle was a battle to defeat Chen Xun and Sun Ce, two fierce rivals, and he would never lose. In this regard, Cao Cao also wrote a poem.

But although Cao Cao said that he was like this in front of people, but he was worried behind people, he sent the debater Jiang Gan to Jingzhou, wanting Liu Biao to send troops, Cao Cao's reason to Liu Biao was very simple, even if he failed in this battle, but the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, Chen Xun would not be able to take him for a while, and if Sun Ce of Jiangdong took this opportunity to rise in a war, then it would definitely be a great threat to his Jingzhou, besides, once Sun Ce sent troops, then Chen Xun, as an ally, would not sit idly by.

For Cao Cao's request for help, Liu Biao seemed very bland, but he still did superficial work, he sent 20,000 troops and camped a hundred miles away from Wancheng, which made people know at a glance that he wanted to pick up cheap.

Since Liu Biao did not send troops, Cao Cao set his sights on Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, this time it was Jiang Gan, Jiang Gan took a large amount of property to visit Zhang Lu's strategist Yang Song, under the persuasion of Yang Song, Zhang Lu sent 50,000 troops to attack Guanzhong, but what people didn't expect was that in Guanzhong ambushed the soldiers and horses against him, this battle, Zhang Lu was defeated, and lost more than half of the living force, and hurriedly withdrew to Hanzhong.

Since Zhang Lu was defeated, then Liu Zhang, who was stationed in Xichuan, of course, would not let go of this opportunity, Liu Zhang ordered Zhang Ren, who was stationed in Fucheng, to send 30,000 troops to attack the land of Hanzhong, at this time, Liu Bei, who had been idle by Liu Zhang for six years in Xichuan, also came out to jump, he asked Liu Zhang for his life, and wanted to go out with the army, but Liu Zhang's adviser Wang Lei said that Liu Bei's wolf ambition wanted to take Hanzhong to stand on his own, Liu Zhang thought about it, and finally felt that it was better to leave Liu Bei in Chengdu.

The decisive battle between Cao Cao and Chen Xun made the whole world a mess, and there were wars in almost every place, and the princes in every place were attacking each other.

Seeing that Cao Cao's form was a little bad, the thoughts of those families who surrendered to Cao Cao also began to liven up, and some people even wrote to Chen Xun to express their submission.

In the face of the family's surrender, Chen Xun also secretly took Zhen Mi from Hebei to Luoyang, and held a grand wedding in Luoyang City, which was a signal from Chen Xun, a signal to tell the world that he was wooing.

It turned out that Zhen Yi, the old fox, didn't want to express his stance so early, but Chen Xun secretly picked up Zhen Mi, the raw rice had been cooked, and his Zhen family was also able to show support for Chen Xun and move the family to Guanzhong.

The clansmen of the Guangling Chen clan who knew the news were not controlled, and they also persuaded Chen Deng to give up those clansmen controlled by Cao Cao and revolt in Xuzhou to respond to Chen Xun who is now in Luoyang, because Chen Xun is a member of his Chen clan, once Chen Xun takes away the world, then their Chen family will also become a royal family.

.......

The situation in the world suddenly became favorable to Chen Xun, but this is only on the surface, in fact, Chen Xun's grain and grass are almost exhausted, and letting those soldiers and horses who were originally in Tuntian go to the front line to fight makes his food and grass insufficient, Chen Xun can only sigh with emotion, his foundation is still too weak.

Just when Chen Xun sighed, those people from the "loyal" family also arrived, Chen Xun wanted to squeeze them well, but they were like a rooster that did not pluck their feathers, one by one only supported Chen Xun in language, in this regard, Chen Xun recorded their faces one by one, he is a person who holds grudges.

Seeing that the grain and grass were about to run out, Chen Xun could only withdraw part of the soldiers and horses to Guanzhong, and the situation in Guanzhong was also unstable now, which was also a good choice.

Watching Luoyang withdraw his troops, Cao Cao immediately led his troops to counterattack Yuzhou, but Chen Xun was not the kind of person who betrayed his teammates, he sent troops to Yuzhou to help Sun Ce resist Cao Cao.

Winter went to spring, another batch of grain and grass in Guanzhong was transported, so that Chen Xun could make more choices, Chen Xun sent troops to take the entire Yuzhou in one fell swoop, but was blocked by Cao Cao, and finally reluctantly withdrew to Luoyang.

Spring passed quickly, and there was a jubilant scene in Luoyang City at this moment, because Zhen Mi, who was now married to Chen Xun's wife, was pregnant, facing the scorching summer, Chen Xun wanted to take advantage of this good omen to send troops to Cao Cao again, but because of the problem of food and grass, it could not be implemented.

The war between Chen Xun and Cao Cao turned into a tug-of-war, which dragged on for two years.

In these two years, Zhen Mi gave birth to a boy for Chen Xun, which made Chen Xunle happy, and he named the child Chen Luo to commemorate his birth in Luoyang. But this name still caused a lot of turmoil, because Luoyang is the land of Longxing, and the name Chen Luo doesn't mean that Chen Xun will pass on his position to his newborn son in the future, Chen Xun just smiled faintly.

When the news reached Chang'an, it caused an uproar, and Xiang Ji, who had been left in Chang'an City by Chen Xun, couldn't sit still, he rushed to Luoyang, saying that he wanted to join the army.

Chen Xun immediately drove Xiang Ji back, the reason was to let him focus on his studies.

After Xiang Ji left Luoyang and returned to Chang'an, Chen Xun personally wrote a letter to Li Ru, but no one knew the content of the letter. However, after this incident, Chen Xun carried his young son to the city and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Luoyang.
