Chapter 189

The general Cui Yu said: "I can't completely believe the words of the pawn. If there is any negligence, our land and water forces will be suspended. You should only hold on to the water village, I am willing to do it for you. ”

Zhu Ran listened to his advice, so he asked Cui Yu to lead 10,000 troops to rescue Sun Heng. That night, the three brothers of the Peng family divided into three ways and went straight into Sun Huan Village, and the fire broke out on all sides, and the Wu army was in chaos and found a way to escape.

Let's say that Cui Yu was walking when he suddenly saw a fire and hurriedly urged the army to advance. Just turned the mountain, and suddenly the drums in the valley shook loudly: Zhang Xutuo on the left, Shi Wansui on the right, two ways to attack. Cui Yu was taken aback, and was about to escape, but he met Shi Wansui; Only once he was together, he was captured alive by Shi Wansui. Zhu Ran knew about the defeat here, and went back fifty or sixty miles to the water. Sun Huan led the army to flee in defeat, and asked the general: "Where is there a food supply in front?" ”

The general said: "Walking due north from here is the Yi Tomb, which can be used to garrison troops. Sun Huan led the defeated army to Yiling. As soon as they entered the city, the three brothers of the Peng family and others pursued and surrounded the city on all sides. Zhang Xutuo and Shi Wansui and others explained Cui Yu's return to Zi. Yuangai Suwen was very happy, and ordered the general to behead Cui Yu and sacrifice the flag, and reward the whole army. Since then, Yuan Gai Suwen, Zhang Xutuo, and Shi Wansui have been shaken by their majesty, and the generals in Jiangnan have all been frightened.

However, it was said that Sun Huan called someone to ask for help from Sun Quan, Sun Quan was shocked, and immediately convened civil and military officials to discuss and said: "Now Sun Huan is trapped in Yiling, Zhu Ran is defeated in the river, and Jingzhou has a large army, what can I do?" ”

Pang Tong replied: "The lord doesn't need to panic, you can order Han Dang to prepare, Zhou Tai to be the deputy general, Pan Zhang to be the first vanguard, Ling Tong to be the rear, and I will respond to the rescue and raise 100,000 troops to resist Yuan Gai Suwen." "In accordance with the performance, he ordered the generals to move quickly.

At this time, Shanyue was also instigated by Yuangai Suwen and promised to cooperate with the Jingzhou army to make a rebellion in the hinterland of Eastern Wu. The Eastern Wu and Jingzhou armies were repeatedly defeated on the frontal battlefield, and at this time, the civil strife in Shanyue made the Eastern Wu even more powerless. Pang Tong also felt very powerless. Pang Tong only understood at this time that under the crushing of absolute strength, it would be difficult to change the situation no matter how many schemes he had.

Finally, after three months, Soochow's regime collapsed completely. Sun Quan, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Huang Zu, Sun Heng, Zhu Ran and others all died in battle, none of the generals of Eastern Wu surrendered, blood was spilled on the battlefield, Pang Tong also sighed, and he died by suicide when he was not born at the right time. Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others chose to take refuge in Yuangai Suwen. As for Lu Su, Gan Ning was asked to be his staff.

Because of Xue Rengui's great strength, Han Baohu and Yang Lin can only be in a shrinking defensive way all the time, and they want to wait for Cao Cao in the south to open up the situation in Xuzhou. However, because of Su Dingfang's capriciousness, Cao Cao did not make any progress in Xuzhou, and the Luoyang court was also fiercely discussing whether this action was correct. At this time, Xue Rengui also sent a secret sentinel to Luoyang to spread rumors under the advice of the strategists, saying that although Yang Lin and Han Baohu seemed to be resisting, they actually had the idea of taking refuge in Xue Rengui for a long time, and had a secret connection with Xue Rengui for a long time, and now they are just constantly consuming the strength of the Luoyang army, and then waiting for a suitable opportunity to surrender Xue Rengui.

Although some of the high-ranking officials of the Luoyang court did not believe that Yang Lin and Han Baohu would surrender, there were still some ministers who opposed Yang's power, as well as most of the bureaucrats, who were in tandem to remove Han Baohu and Yang Lin from their positions. In the end, after heated discussions between the two sides, it was decided to remove Yang 0lin and Han Baohu from their positions as commanders, and He Ruobi and Ding Yanping served as commanders.

Xue Rengui soon learned the news of the change of commander of the Luoyang army, and quickly made a plan to deal with it. The Luoyang army, under the command of He Ruobi and Ding Yanping, won several battles in a row. Xue Rengui ordered the Chinese army not to go out of the camp to meet the battle without an order. The two sides entered the siege battle.

At the same time, Huang Zhong tightened his grip on the Great Xia Dragon Bird Knife in his hand, and led the Xue family army, which had long been disguised as civilians and hiding in various cities and states, to attack the rear of the Luoyang army and cut off the transportation line between the Luoyang army and Luoyang.

This is exactly why Xue Rengui secretly selected 25,000 elite Xue family troops long before the start of the war, and used the method of breaking into pieces to lurk in the cities of various states. Because the state is now very chaotic, there are both forces of Su Dingfang and the Luoyang court, and the two sides have just experienced a big war, and the household registration here is very chaotic. Moreover, the control of the armor is also very chaotic, which is very conducive to General Xue's lurking. Of course, this kind of strategy must be based on the right time, the right place and the right people. After all, this strategy of breaking up the whole into parts must require the army to have absolute consciousness, and if the army takes the opportunity to escape, I am afraid that when it is time to attack, there will be no one in the army.

Zhao Yun and Luo Cheng, who rushed to support in the north, led the most elite 5,000 cavalry of the Xue family army to fight between the Luoyang army and the Luoyang camp, and isolated the various camps of the Luoyang army. Xue Rengui, Qin Qiong, and Zhang Fei each divided their troops to lead the hardcover Xue family army to break through one by one. The Luoyang army was without food for a month, and the soldiers in the army had begun to kill each other for food. Han Baohu and He Ruobi, Yang Feng and others were shot several times because of exhaustion, died on the battlefield, and were shrouded in horse leather. Xiong Kuohai was beheaded by Xue Rengui's fighting generals, Yang Lin led his thirteen Taibao to flee to Luoyang, but was intercepted by Huang Zhong on the way to escape, the thirteen Taibao were killed or scattered, and Yang Lin was captured alive. Xu Huang chose to take refuge in Xue Rengui.

After that, Yang Lin also chose to take refuge with Xue Rengui. Xu Huang wanted to secretly tell Xue Rengui that Yang Lin was the pillar of the Hongnong Yang family, and he would definitely not easily take refuge in Xue Rengui. But Xue Rengui considered that he had just taken refuge, and was afraid that Xue Rengui would think that he was secretly jealous, so he held back this thought.

However, of course, Xue Rengui knew Yang Lin's identity, and knew in his heart that Yang Lin was a fraud, but he also patiently called Yang Lin to his big tent, but Yang Lin just said a few words to Xue Rengui, and then he burst out on the spot, and wanted to rush in front of Xue Rengui, but Zhang Fei was the first to rush out, and cut off Yang Lin's tendons with a knife, and was taken down by the guards.

Although Xue Rengui didn't react because of this, he didn't stop Zhang Fei's order, after all, in this battle, there were not a few soldiers in the Xue family army who died on the battlefield, so naturally let the soldiers in the army express the sulkness in their hearts.
