Chapter 113: The counterattack of the scholar family
There were 30,000 iron cavalry and 50,000 Shi clan coalition troops, a total of 80,000 troops formed this alliance, and Puyang, Dongjun, Changyi, Shanyang, and Jiyin counties were broken one after another, and the Lu Bu army with Puyang as its nest was getting bigger and bigger like a snowball;
Cheng Yu, who was closest to Puyang, was the first to notice that something was wrong, and immediately brought the two Cao brothers, Cao Ren and Cao Hong: "Yanzhou has encountered the biggest crisis since the arrival of Cao Gong. But the internal troubles will not be eliminated! It will affect the foundation of Cao Gong's great cause! ”
"Most of the scholars and families are dissatisfied with Cao Gong's meritocracy and talent appointing, they can't share the benefits in Yanzhou, so they naturally want to oppose Cao Gong, and now they have brought the general Lu Bu as the spearhead, and the soldiers have broken through the city of Puyang, taking advantage of the emptiness of our abdomen, there is a great tendency to sweep Yanzhou! Once the whole territory of Yanzhou falls, I won't say much about the results! ”
"What should I do?" , Cao Ren asked each other, Cheng Yu is not a general, this is in the secret fight between Cheng Yu and Tao Qian, Cao Ren, who is a bystander, has a deep understanding, people are old and fine, horses are old and slippery, it is exactly like this;
"Dong'e, Zhencheng, Fanxian!" , Cheng Yu tapped these places a few times with his hand: "This is the only place for Puyang Lu Bu to invade the eastern part of Yanzhou!" He must be prevented from joining forces with Tao Qian in Xuzhou! Only by holding these three places can we wait until the lord's army returns to the division and expel Lu Bu in one fell swoop! ”
"What about the western part of Yanzhou? What should Chen Liuguo do? Cao Ren doubted;
"Alas! It's thankful that we can hold the three places of Dong'e, Fanxian, and Zhencheng, as for that side, do you think we still have the ability to manage it? Cheng Yu sighed;
All the people and horses of Taishan County are only more than 30,000 people, on the one hand, they have to confront Tao Qianxiang, on the other hand, they have to divide their troops into three places to guard the key passes, which is so easy, Cao Ren thought about it for a while and felt helpless, just Lu Bu's 30,000 iron cavalry and the state were enough for them, not to mention the scholars who helped each other in the dark;
"Don't go head-to-head with Lu Bu, we're not opponents! When you get to the three cities, you can delay the time, and when you get to the three cities, strengthen the internal defense to prevent anyone from collaborating with the enemy, once discovered... Don't worry about it! Kill them all! Cheng Yu said fiercely, he can't take into account the influence of any wealthy families, let's calm down first!
At the same time, Xun Yu, who was far away in Xuchang City, was also worried, the first time Xun Yu was alone Xun Yu encountered a great crisis, if things were messed up, the face would be lost, Xun Yu's heart turned sharply to analyze the countermeasures;
The atmosphere in Xuchang City has become very depressing, and the sky is full of dark clouds, which is a sign of heavy rain...
The external troubles are not terrible, but the internal worries are feared... Xun Yu stared at the two young generals in front of him, Cao Ang and Cao Chun: "Big boy!" Sub and! I think you've sensed something hasn't been right in the city lately, right? ”
Cao Ang and Cao Chun glanced at each other: "Hmm! Mr. Wen Ruo, do you think those people want to take advantage of the fire to rob? Aren't they afraid that their father's army will return to the division and destroy them? ”
Xun Yu smiled: "I'm afraid!" Of course they were afraid, but now they have a backer! Look at this, this is sent by Zhong De Gong Kuaima..."
Taking the bamboo slip letter in Xun Yu's hand, Cao Ang and Cao Chun took it and read it, and after reading it, they were surprised and almost didn't throw the letter to the ground, "God of war Lu Bu!" I'm a good girl! No wonder this group of people has the courage to move and find reinforcements! ”
Li Yu once praised Lu Bu and called him the god of war in the world, and the ancients only Xiang Yu could compare! What is this assessment? Especially Cao Chun, who is young and vigorous and has never seen Lu Bu's might, and is also a military general, is even more angry, this time when he heard that Lu Bu was coming, his eyes suddenly rose with war;
Xun Yu looked at it and said lightly: "The young general is still provincial!" It's going to die! Even Xu Zhongkang was defeated after more than 100 rounds in the hands of Lu Bu, don't be dizzy! ”
Cao Chun smiled, and his thoughts were seen by Xun Yu: "Everyone wants to fight with the number one in the world, doesn't they?" Mr? ”
Xun Yu was noncommittal, but his expression was solemn: "Lu Bu is still far away in Puyang!" What we have to consider now is how to deal with the warrior clan gate valve in Xuchang City! I have something I want to ask you for, I wonder if you have faith? ”
"Please sir! It is our duty to do so! Cao Ang and Cao Chunlang responded with a resolute expression;
Opening the window, Xun Yu looked at the heavy rain outside the window: "There are still 5,000 military horses in Xuchang City, which is not enough to completely defend it, so we will preemptively invite those noble families to drink!" Let them be afraid and dare not move! ”
Xun Yu's response policy was correct, but he also miscalculated, he missed a few people, and missed the biggest threat to the two Zhang brothers, he didn't expect the two Zhang brothers Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao to rebel, so he was caught off guard;
Although a large number of leaders of the Shi clan were gathered in the Xuchang City Governor's Mansion, they did not panic or fear at all, because they had already mobilized their own troops into the hands of the two Zhang brothers, and they believed that the two Zhang brothers would succeed, and once they broke through Xuchang, they would not be hurt in the slightest...
I have to sigh that the power of these warrior clan gate lords, there are a lot of nameless people hidden in their homes, and these people are gathered together to form a large army, with more than 20,000 people...
In the pouring rain, Cao Jun, who was "inviting" people everywhere in the city, met them, and immediately broke out into a big battle.
Xun Yu was upset, pacing back and forth, he really didn't expect the two brothers of the Zhang family to rebel, and these scholars were surprisingly unanimous, all against Cao Cao, so they did not hesitate to hand over their own strength, which is not in line with their style of acting!
The current situation is really bad, what should we do? Xun Yu asked himself again and again, occasionally turned his face and glanced at the scholars who were looking for fun behind him, Xun Yu's face leaked a fierce light, and he sneered again and again, I really have to get to that point, these people... Hum!
Xun Yu is also a person from a wealthy family, and his family is still a top wealthy family, unlike these people, they have a more long-term plan and way of survival, Xun Yu can fail, because their Xun family does not put all their eggs in one basket at all;
So! Naturally, he can pull these people to "walk" together, and it won't have any effect! Isn't it?
Angrily wiping a handful of rain from his face, Cao Chun shouted: "Zixiu! You go first! Grab Ulin Street! It's a must-see for the rebels! Hold it! There is still hope! ”
The rebels came from Xicheng, Wulin Street is the only place to attack the state capital, there are many streets in Xuchang City, the situation is complicated, Cao Chun can't think of a good way, he doesn't know the rebels' intentions, is it to break the state capital? Or to pick up enemy forces outside the city?
In the case that he didn't hear that there were rebels on the periphery, Cao Chun judged that they were going to break through the state capital, so the importance of Wulin Street was highlighted.
Xuchang City air defense is weak, only 5,000 soldiers and horses are stationed, in addition to the soldiers guarding the gate of the city, only 3,000 people can be mobilized, even if they are brave and good at fighting, it is not the opponent of more than 20,000 people, Cao Chun can only do to resist to the death...
