Zhou Zhi, Zhang Liao, Wang Fei, Huang Quan, and Liao Hua defeated Luoyang and won a complete victory, although Zhou Zhi's reputation was ruined, but it was a decisive blow to the entire battle situation.

Chen Zhi, Li Yan, and Huang Xu, who were still stationed in Yingchuan Yangzhai, led their troops to march, and all the main forces of the Left Route Army and Zhang Liao's White Tiger Army finally converged in Luoyang, and the army of more than 100,000 troops quickly divided into six routes, crossed the river to attack in the north at the beginning of April, and killed Hanoi.

Only Wang Fei and Huang Quan stayed in Henan with a small number of soldiers and stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass to guard against the sneak attack of the Cao army left by Chen in the east and keep the return route of the Chu army.

Originally, leaving Huang Quan alone was enough to deal with it, but Wang Fei stayed because he was too tired!

As a general who originally belonged to the Right Route Army, after he captured Runan, he then received a message from Zhou Zhi, asking him to lead 10,000 iron cavalry to attack thousands of miles, turn around Yingchuan, and help him break through.

This move even went beyond Wang Xu and was directly exchanged and assisted by front-line generals.

Although this situation is not advocated, it is very common in the wars of this era, if everything is reported and delayed back and forth, then don't want to catch up with anything, who will let there be no telephone?

Zhou Zhi explained his intentions in the letter at that time, pointing out that the sneak attack on the Yuyuan needs to be secretive, it needs to deceive the enemy, and it needs to be sudden!

But at that time, the left army had just hit Yingchuan Yang Zhai City, and was always under the strict surveillance of the Luoyang Cao army, if too many soldiers and horses were mobilized, they would be detected early, so they begged Wang Fei of the right army to help, and rushed thousands of miles to Yingchuan from Runan day and night, and then secretly sneaked to the vicinity of Yuyuan to fight together!

At that time, after Wang Fei discussed with Zhao Yun and others, they all thought it was feasible. Then he set off with his troops!

The surprise attack was so smooth. Luoyang Cao Jun almost did not react. fell into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on his back, so he was forced to shrink on all fronts and retreat to the lonely city of Luoyang, which can be said to be a great credit to Wang Fei.

Rushing from the southern front to the northern front, not to mention Zhong Xuan, Xu Rong and others in Luoyang at that time, even Wang Xu, the commander of his own side, couldn't think of it at all, until after the victory, the detailed battle report came. Only then did we know the cause and effect.

But although this is good, but Wang Fei's 10,000 iron cavalry is miserable, in just a few days, not only running more than a thousand miles, but also experiencing a series of fierce battles, it is the end of the strong crossbow.

Therefore, he could only stay in Luoyang with Huang Quan and garrison important places such as Hujiao Pass, which was not only to guard against Chen Liucao's army but also to protect the flank of the left army. It's also a break!

…………

Zhang Liao, Zhou Zhi and other generals led the Left Route Army to cross the river to the north, and their morale was even stronger to the extreme. The whole army was clamoring to fight directly to Yecheng in Jizhou and break through the capital of Wei.

It's just that after two months of fierce fighting, the officers and men of the whole army are extremely tired after all, and the logistics supply can not keep up at all.

This day is the sixth day of the fourth month!

The state of Chu announced the Northern Expedition, which is the tenth day of the first month of February!

When the army of Chu was first set out, due to the unusual way of assembly, it was a sudden departure, mixed together, and the scheduling arrangement was a little slow, so the day when the three-way army arrived in Wancheng in Nanyang was from February 18 to February 22!

During this time, it was also the day when the left and right armies of Chu set out from Wancheng successively!

If you count from this time, then it can be said that it has only been a month and a half!

As a result, it was the left army that fought to the north of the Yellow River and settled in Hanoi County, which was almost only more than a thousand miles away from Ye, the capital of Wei, if you count the distance in a straight line!

The Middle Route Army is the place where it entered Yanzhou Chenliu and shook the foundation of Cao Cao's army!

Although the results of the Right Route Army were small, they suppressed Cao Wei's main forces in the Huai River in Runan, Yuzhou, and never dared to move!

What is the speed? What kind of miracle is this? How incredible is that?

Not to mention the civil and military forces of Wei, Wu, and Xiliang, even the civil and military forces in the rear of Chu are also in a state of confusion every day!

The different battle reports received by the important ministers such as Fu Zhu every day were almost all about how far they had advanced, where they had breached, and where they had occupied.

After these battle reports were carefully sorted out by them, they had to discuss the aftermath of the treatment, and they needed to be forwarded to Xu Shu for specific implementation, which can be described as laborious!

As a result, the ministers and officials of many key departments in the Chu State finally moved directly into Nangong, and their office and rest were all there, and they didn't have to go back to home!

Just because there are hundreds or thousands of complex affairs every day, they are all in a hurry to deal with them quickly, which is also forced!

It is indeed not easy for generals to fight on the front line!

But every time the front line advances, the support that the rear needs to provide, and the problems that need to be dealt with, are massive!

This is not a fight, just win the other side, this is a war, it is a full-scale decisive battle between two great powers, and the complicated internal affairs work is the cornerstone, the fight is the economy, and the fight is accumulation!

No one goes to the occupied areas to deal with the aftermath, no one to operate and dispatch, no one to deploy logistics supplies, no one to deal with endless problems, so it's no wonder that it's not messy!

As for Xu Shu, who is sitting in Xiangyang, she can't sleep well, and every time she takes time to rest, it doesn't take long for someone to report important things and ask for approval. So much so that she had to bring Cai Yan and Yan Ming to help, at least they could also help draft some decrees.

As time passed, Xu Shu gradually went from being surprised at the beginning to slowly becoming dazed and numb!

Almost every time she faced the latest battle report from Frustration, she repeated the same words.

"Are you sure they didn't run all the way through?"

"Are you sure the Cao army is resisting?"

"Are you sure that the front-line soldiers are fighting all the way, not the subjects of Wei vying to greet them?"

Of course, Xu Shu knew that she was exaggerating what she said, but she really couldn't believe it!

Having experienced many wars, she deeply understood what kind of amazing battle this was, and she was both questioning and marveling......

In fact, although Wei Guowenwu was stunned, his reaction has always been very fast!

In the first half month from the beginning of Chu's expedition, Wei completed the process from getting the news, confirming the news, to discussing countermeasures, and quickly ordering the mobilization of troops and money!

From half a month to a month, they gathered troops and grain and grass in the shortest time, and sent the first wave of reinforcements to the expedition, and the Cao Army, the main force of the Huaihe defense line, also retreated!

But the state of Chu was too fast, Cao Ren, Yu Ban and others divided 40,000 people, a total of 80,000 people just entered Chenliu, and when the decisive battle was created, the shape had already mutated again, and Luoyang was in an emergency.

Cao Cao then asked Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan to lead 30,000 soldiers to the rescue.

Who would have thought that 60,000 people would go to the rescue in the starry night, but they were defeated by Zhang Liao and Zhou Zhi in an overnight manner!

What can Cao Cao do?

At this time, he instantly realized that Wei Guowenwu had been stunned!

This confusion is not really confused, it refers to the chaos of the square inch, completely passive!

Wei did not have a complete deployment of military forces, no unified command and dispatch, no meticulous planning, no proper and complete logistical arrangements, and even the intelligence was scattered.

In this case, even if he continues to send troops to the front line, that is to say, to die one by one, to die ten thousand to ten thousand, and to go to three hundred thousand? I can't figure out anything, I haven't figured out anything, and I am always led by the nose by the Chu State, so a few random schemes will be the end of the annihilation of the whole army!

If the only thing that has done the best is Sima Yi, he secretly said that he should have been in a hurry to go north to rescue, and no matter how bad it was, he should have been in a hurry to break the right army of Chu State!

But his superiority is here, Cao Cao knows, he also knows, so he doesn't move at all, just drag the right army of Chu State, respond to all changes with no change, wait for the strongest edge of Chu State to pass, slow down the march, and when Wei State begins to stabilize, then seek countermeasures.

It's like throwing a punch, no matter how strong you are, when you run out of strength, you need to gather momentum before you can punch again.

This trick is to ensure that you are not defeated first, and then find a way to deal with others.

This is undoubtedly correct, when the left route army of the state of Chu rested in Hanoi for a short time, the middle route army fought fiercely with Cao Ren and other troops, and the right route army was dragged by Sima Yi to the death, Cao Cao finally took a breath, he understood that the time for a counterattack had come!

On the seventh day of the fourth month, Cao Cao showed his courage far beyond ordinary people, although most of the troops transferred back from the border of Youzhou and Bingzhou had not yet arrived, but he still decisively led more than 300,000 main soldiers who could currently fight, and quickly set out to fight!

The total number of troops was divided into two routes, one was commanded by Xiahou Dun, and more than ten generals such as Cao Zhen, and Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu participated in his military, a total of 150,000 troops, westward into Hanoi, and exterminated the left army of Chu State!

On the other hand, Cao Cao personally led the army, sent 200,000 troops, crossed the Yellow River in the south, crossed the White Horse, and marched to Chenliu!

As for the right army of Chu, Cao Cao did not rush to pay attention to it, because that side could not threaten the hinterland of Wei, and he understood better that Chu sent this right army to the main force, which itself was the main force to contain him along the Huai River, so the current situation is the best.

As a military genius, he clearly understood that although Wang Xu's middle route army seemed to be still trapped in Chenliu, this was the place that really affected the fate of Wei.

If Wang Xusheng is victorious, then he can follow the army into the white horse, cross the Yellow River, and echo with the left army, like a bamboo, and attack Yecheng directly!

If he wins, then go west to Yingchuan, subdue Luoyang, cut off the return of the Chu army, wait for the supply of grain and grass to be cut off, and after a long battle, the army of Chu will collapse without a fight!

Of course, this is just an assumption.

Under normal circumstances, if the middle route army of the Chu State was defeated, then the left and right armies would definitely retreat in the shortest possible time, at any cost, before he entered Yingchuan. But no matter which of these two situations is realized, it means that Wei has successfully resisted the enemy.

At this moment, the second Northern Expedition of Chu State has finally entered a new stage!

A series of new shocking battles slowly kicked off, affecting the entire land of China...... (To be continued......)
