In November of the second year of Chuping, King Li of Bingzhou was assassinated, and the princes of Youzhou and other places in Jizhou were in danger, and they each checked the suspicious people under their rule, which made people panic for a while. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the same month, the southern Chaisang Liu Biao's forces were lost, and were defeated by Sun Jian's Li Shimin's troops, Liu Biao's Su Fei, Wang Wei and others were captured, Li Shimin transferred the building ship and other warships to Sun Jian stationed in Moling, and deployed in Chaisang, each of them ceased fighting, and when the spring of the next year was opened, the troops were sent to Jiangxia and Nanjun.

Also in November, a tragic siege battle broke out in Tongguan, Yongzhou, and the combined forces of Guo Yan and Silu invested a total of 300,000 troops.

"Cao Shilang, if the battle situation can't be opened before December, then we can only wait for the spring of next year." Xun Yu said on the side.

As for why Xun Yu appeared here, it is related to Cao Cao's strategy, but he is taking the way of saving the country, and now Luoyang is in ruins, Cao Cao proposed the Wancheng court, transferred Xun Yu into his shogunate, and then discussed the construction of Luoyang together, and the Wancheng court did not have a very good sense of Xun Yu, so he did not win Cao Cao's face, and ordered him to listen to Cao Cao's account.

"If the text is reasonable, this winter rain will hit, and the mud and rocks all over Yongzhou will become muddy, and it will be difficult for the soldiers to rush and kill."

Chen Yu arched his hand: "This Tongguan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if it is attacked, it will cost three to five times the casualties of the troops, so I suggest that it be slowly planned." ”

Cao Cao nodded in agreement, but after all, he had concerns: "Our division is different from Jingzhou and other places, there is abundant grain and grass, and most of the personnel are aided by various states, if the war is dragged out until the spring of next year, we will be powerless to succeed at that time, and it will be just a joke to attack Guo Yan." ”

Xiahou Yuan was not reckless, and said at this time: "We can only hope that the battle situation in Wuguan can be opened now, and then the army of the Wancheng Imperial Court will only have a pass from Chang'an, and Chang'an will have to divide troops to rescue, and our pressure will be much less." ”

Cao Cao said: "This is a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, if we can't open our mouths before December, then we will also go back." ”

Xun You hesitated at this time and said: "Li Jing's army in the north of the Yellow River has also been stationed for May, and the warships built have long been useful, but they have not sent troops to support for a long time, and the lord can urge them to cross the river to snipe the enemy army." ”

Cao Cao frowned, Li Jing is King Li's cousin, but when he first arrived under King Li's account, he was named General Annan, leading the position of commander of an army, the world once thought that he had gone through the back door, but Cao Cao didn't think so, King Li's subordinates Zhang Juzheng, Zhao Yun, and Yang Zaixing were all talents, and they were all together, and King Li did not dare to use the relationship easily to award Li Jing to a high position.

"Li Jing's 50,000 soldiers occupy Shouyang Mountain, seemingly passive and waiting for battle, but in fact, he is secretly hiding the way of soldiers, watching the fire from the other side to find an opportunity, Taoguang Yanghui thinks that King Li is seeking the greatest benefits, even if Cao Shilang urges him to attack Guo Yan, he will find all kinds of reasons to delay."

In Xun Yu's words, it is said that among the ministers of the Three Kingdoms, the smartest are Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, and Sima Yi, but Li Wang has long thought that Xun Yu has been neglected, and at least one of his intelligence and internal affairs values has broken 100, otherwise how could Xun Yu sit in the first position of Cao Cao's staff in his previous life, and even Guo Jia had to stand behind.

"If Wen Ruo's words are reasonable, Li Wang is still difficult to deal with, and if I don't return my filial piety, this Li Jing is not easy to think about."

Cao Cao walked around with his hands in his hands, and there was no good way for a while.

And Xun Yu suddenly smiled: "I heard that Li Wei's department and Ma Teng's forces fought against each other, but it was just Guo Jia's strategy, Cao Shilang often praised Guo Jia for his ghostly strategy, since the news of the delay in returning to the army came, maybe Guo Jia would have a foreshadowing, and Li Jing of Shouyang Mountain would not stay for too long, otherwise in December, they would also be unable to escape the situation of being trapped, so that Li Jing would definitely go out of the army soon." ”

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows: "In this way, Li Jing will inevitably send troops." ”

Xun You was awakened, and he also had a feeling of being surprised: "King Li has won the trust of the Wancheng court, if we withdraw from the army this time, then the alliance will only be hastily settled, and King Li will bear the responsibilities of the common people and the Wancheng court, which is not advisable for King Li, who has always been close to the people and dependent on the footsteps of the court." ”

Cao Cao finally smiled, but with a bitter smile: "In this way, we have to step up the siege of the city, so that Li Jing can see the opportunity to seek benefits, so that he will go out of Shouyang Mountain." ”

"Newspaper... The gate of Tongguan City opened, and Wang Yanzhang, Guo Yan's personal guard, was calling for battle in front of the camp. ”

"Come with me."

Surrounded by guards, the group came to the outside of the camp, and the leading general Cao Ren had already led the army to confront it and waited for it.

"Whoever is coming, aren't you afraid of death alone?" Cao Hong saw Cao Cao's arrival, so he talked to Wang Yanzhang.

"A certain is just a guard, and he doesn't dare to call himself a general." Wang Yanzhang rode on a horse, the Yunxia iron spear in his hand trembled, and the sudden sound did not seem to be fake, and it looked no less than a hundred catties: "But Cao Cao is full of deception and stealing fame, first his father Cao Song recognized the eunuch Cao Teng as his father, and was able to become an official to the captain, and now with the help of his momentum, the official worships the servant, and adds him to the captain of Silu, and the chaos of the army, resulting in the destruction of Silu and Yongzhou. ”

Cao Cao couldn't see joy or anger on his face, as if he had experienced something, Wang Yanzhang's words could not arouse his anger at all, even if it insulted his ancestors.

Cao Cao was not angry, it did not mean that the other generals were not angry, and Xiahou Xun rushed out on his horse first.

"The traitor is killed, and Xiahou Dun, the man of Peiguo, comes to take your head."

Xiahoudun waved the big knife in his hand and pounced directly at Wang Yanzhang, although the two were both first-class generals, but the gap was not small, and before they used their full strength, between the three rounds of the wrong horse, they were almost picked off by Wang Yanzhang.

Xiahou Yuan watched from the sidelines, anxious in his heart, and did not wait for Cao Cao's instructions, and rode out with Cao Ren to besiege Wang Yanzhang.

Wang Yanzhang saw that two more generals rushed out of the big array, shouted "Good come", and pulled out the Yunxia iron gun in his hand, fighting the three generals of the Cao family.

Xiahoudun and the three of them usually learn from each other, and they are impenetrable to cooperate at this time, but after all, the gap in force is too big, and Wang Yanzhang's 99-point force is difficult to distinguish even if he meets Lu Bu, not to mention that the opponent is still inferior to the opponent of Liu Guanzhang and the others.

Wang Yanzhang was still at ease with the tacit cooperation of the three of them, and when he fought fifty rounds, he deliberately sold a flaw, seeing that Xiahou Yuan's spear was about to pick him away, Wang Yanzhang's war horse under his crotch took a strange step back, and he could avoid this blow, but Cao Ren's war horse was not spared, and was directly swept on the head by Wang Yanzhang's iron spear, and he fell to the ground with a wail, and couldn't get up again.

Cao Ren was brave and strategic, and at this time he stood up and fought on foot, but he was always a little dull.

Without the help of Cao Ren's war horse, the cooperation of the three was obviously somewhat hindered, but in thirty rounds, Wang Yanzhang's powerful attack killed the three of them in a hurry.

Cao Cao sighed in the distance: "Such a fierce general, why don't you serve a thief, Pei Xingyan, go and save the three of you quickly, remember not to ruin this person's life." ”

Pei Xing got the order, and Pegasus rescued.

Wang Yanzhang's iron gun was heavy, and he finally caught Xiahoudun's flaw, and was about to smash Huanglong to take it down, but he noticed the fierce aura behind him, and he didn't have time to shoot Xiahoudun down, so he quickly pulled back the iron spear to protect his vest.

The sound of "dang", like the strike of gold and stone, the sound was deafening, the Yellow River broken jade spear and the Yunxia iron spear both hit each other, and for a time the huge force shook each other, even if the two of them were stable, the war horse was also struggling, and they staggered and took a few steps to stand still.

"The three generals will come back quickly, and I will meet this person."

Xiahoudun and the three of them hurriedly hugged their fists and left, at this moment the three of them were still trembling, their shoulders were numb, they were exhausted, and there was no possibility of a fight, so they had to turn around and go back to the camp.

"The enemy general will report his name." Wang Yanzhang coldly let them go, only the fierce warrior in front of him could be a great enemy.

The generals will sympathize with each other, and the two of them are also in this state at this time.

"A certain is Pei Xingyan, a military academy captain under Cao Shilang."

Wang Yanzhang nodded, glanced at each other, and there was no other nonsense, and they fought directly.
