947 Step by step

When Wang Baoyu heard the news, he hurriedly sent a letter to Guan Yu to express his gratitude, Guan Yu laughed, and quickly replied to the letter, saying concisely and to the point, good brothers should live and die together, help each other in times of adversity, and never turn their backs.

The Wuxi army retreated, order was restored in Yiling City, the merchants were more confident, and trade activities were more frequent than before, which was also a blessing in disguise.

And the glorious deeds of the defense of Yiling were quickly spread by adding oil and vinegar, and there are various versions, but they all tell a story, that is, the indestructibility of Yiling.

The news also reached the ears of Zhuxiong again, and the news about the military defense of Yiling could be heard before, how powerful it was, and today it seems that this statement is really true.

"Lord, the soldiers are sent to Yiling, it is imminent, if Wang Baoyu is full-fledged, he will definitely ......" Lu Meng found Sun Quan anxiously.

Sun Quan waved his hand to interrupt Lu Meng's words, he knew in his heart that Lu Meng's words made sense, Wuxi was defeated, Shamoke was captured, and Wang Baoyu's skills were all over the sky. However, there is a Guan Yu in the middle, and his relatives are in Yiling, at least at present, Wang Baoyu has not infringed on his interests, how to levy it?

Sun Quan did not agree, and Lu Meng touched his nose again, and his mood was extremely depressed. In worry, Lu Meng missed Lu Su very much, although Lu Su had a good personal relationship with Wang Baoyu and Guan Yu, but he was never ambiguous in front of the big right and wrong, so Lu Meng went to Lu Su's grave to complain about his bitterness when he had nothing to do.

What I didn't expect was that maybe it was because of excessive worry, he actually had a similar problem as Lu Su, coughing and wheezing, and after many times of conditioning, the symptoms were reduced, but he never recovered.

"The King of Wuxi is brave and invincible, and he can be captured alive by Baoyu?" When Liu Bei heard the news, he felt very incredible.

"Lord, don't dwell on this, take Han and China as the best policy first." Fa Zheng persuaded.

"Alas, the second brother ......" Liu Bei's words didn't come out, he wanted to say that Guan Yu didn't say hello and raised 100,000 troops to help Wang Baoyu, which further shows that if you want to rely on Guan Yu to conquer Wang Baoyu, there is basically no such possibility.

Cao Cao kept going all the way, and finally came to Yangping Pass. When Jia Xu heard the letter from Yiling, he immediately found Cao Cao, and said with a worried face: "King Wei, the 50,000 troops of Wuxi Barbarians sent to Yiling, but not only were they defeated all the way, but Shamoke was even captured alive. ”

"Haha, Baoyu really has some skills, it's very interesting." Cao Cao grinned and pretended to laugh lightly, and the smile was fake.

"King Wei, Wuxi soldiers and horses have lost more than 10,000 soldiers, and Wang Baoyu's 5,000 soldiers and horses have not been damaged in the slightest. Thousands of troops can do this great thing, and if you expand your territory in the future, and recruit troops, sooner or later you will become a big trouble! Jia Xu's face was full of sincerity, and he sent Cao Cao to kneel.

Cao Cao was silent, how could he not be shocked when he heard the news, if the 50,000 army could not break through the Yi Tomb, he could still understand, but the famous generals of the Shamoke generation were captured alive, which was really beyond imagination.

"King Wei, it's better to order Zhang He to attack Yiling." Jia Xu continued.

"And then?"

Cao Cao asked in a cold voice, Jia Xu didn't know what he meant, shivered, and still said stubbornly: "After the Yiling is broken, the first thing is to get rid of Wang Baoyu!" ”

"Shut up!" Cao Cao slapped the desk suddenly, "After I die, you can give Zihuan another order!" ”

Jia Xu was suddenly shocked and sweating profusely, and hurriedly knelt down tremblingly: "Jia Xu said a lot, and I hope that King Wei will forgive!" Jia Xu really thinks about King Wei, and has no other intentions! I, I'm with the eldest son, no, no, no ......"

"Alright, get up!" Cao Cao sighed and said, "Wenhe, you have followed me for many years, how can I not know your heart." But you should also be considerate of Lonely's painstaking efforts, and you shouldn't persecute Lonely everywhere. ”

"Don't dare to die!" Jia Xu still didn't dare to get up, Cao Cao sighed again, personally came over to help him up, and said earnestly: "Our army has arrived here, think about Liu Liangce early." Wang Baoyu's matter, I know it in my lonely heart, and I will discuss it when the war subsides, how about it? ”

"But it's up to King Wei to decide."

Jia Xu wiped his sweat and did not dare to mention Wang Baoyu's name again, Cao Cao discussed with Jia Xu for several days, and finally reached a tactic to recapture Yangping Pass.

Hearing that Cao Cao had led his army to be stationed twenty miles north of Yangping Pass, Liu Bei was worried, there were only 30,000 people guarding the pass on his side, but Cao Cao brought 100,000 people, as well as unstoppable generals like the great strategist Jia Xu and Xu Chu.

"Filial piety, Cao Jun is pressing, but what should I do?" Liu Bei asked.

"Don't worry, the lord doesn't worry, Yangping Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although Cao Cao has the general Xu Chu, but we have the victorious general Zhao Yun, and we are not afraid." Fa Zheng Dao.

"That Cao Cao is scheming, but he must not be guarded against." Liu Bei was still not at ease.

"You can let 20,000 horses out of the pass, and you must not let Cao's soldiers come to the pass." Fa Zheng Dao.

Liu Bei immediately asked Zhao Yun to lead an army of 20,000 and set up a defensive line for five miles out of the pass, as long as Cao Cao approached, do not fight him directly, harass his army, and frustrate his edge.

However, Cao Cao's side didn't want to fight Zhao Yun, and the siege plan he discussed with Jia Xu was steady and steady, step by step.

The Cao soldiers pushed a large number of stones forward, and every few miles they advanced, they piled up stones as a wall as a barrier to prevent them, and as soon as Zhao Yun's army approached slightly, they immediately responded violently with bows and arrows.

Zhao Yun had no choice but to retreat again and again, Cao Jun adopted this method, although the march was slow, after half a month, he still properly approached the place less than two miles away from the pass.

Zhao Yun's army finally returned to Yangping Pass, and Fa Zheng, who had always been confident, also frowned, according to this form, Cao's army would soon be under the city, presumably the method of attacking the city was also piled up into a mountain, which was really difficult to resist.

"Alas, Cao's army is about to attack the city in a big way, but what should it do?" Liu Bei sighed.

"It's that I underestimated Jia Xu and miscalculated. Lord, Yangping Pass is difficult to hold, so let's retreat! "Fa Zhengdao.

"Where should I retreat?" Liu Bei asked regretfully.

"Cao's army is strong, and the lord will temporarily retreat to Nanzheng, so that Zhao Yun can lead the army to work with Huang Zhong to hold Dingjun Mountain, and wait for the opportunity to recapture Yangping Pass." Fa Zheng Dao.

"It's okay, the military advisor will go back to Nanzheng with me." Liu Bei nodded weakly.

"Cao Cao is treacherous, I will stay in Dingjun Mountain with General Zhao Yun in order to make suggestions." Fa Zheng Dao.

"Bei is reluctant to leave the army for a moment."

"If Nan Zheng is in danger, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao can be rescued, and they can be safe." Fa Zheng Dao.

"The military advisor must take care of himself, and he must also set up a wine for the military advisor to celebrate."

"Filial piety is grateful!"

After saying goodbye, Liu Bei led a team of men and horses, immediately got up and left Yangping Pass, and returned to Nanzheng City.

Fa Zhengze, who was ill, followed Zhao Yun, abandoned the pass and left without a fight, and waved his troops to Dingjun Mountain to join Huang Zhong, in order to fight Cao Jun again in the future.
