The concept of kinship is very strong in these years, otherwise Xun would not be enough to be tied with Er Xun and the deceased Guo Jia, and the relationship is even higher than Cheng Zhongde - without him, who called him to have an in-law relationship with Cao Cao? Therefore, the generals of the Cao family, the first echelon are all of the same clan or in-laws. -∝-∝, people of the same clan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chunye, in-laws, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Lianye.

Cao Chun died in the Battle of White Wolf Mountain, Xiahou Yuan was in Liaodong, and Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan were also guarding the side and did not join the campaign. Now Cao Cao's relatives and generals are left, only Cao Hong Cao Zilian and Xiahou Lian Xiahou Gaoxing, Cao Hong has a bad relationship with Cao Pi - it is said that this person is rich and stingy, Cao Pi once borrowed money from him, and he refused to even give a big son - Cao Cao didn't worry about letting the two team up, and if you count it, there will only be one Xiahou Lian left.

Among Cao Xiahou, Xiahou Lian has the lowest ability and the lowest military exploits, and it stands to reason that he is not the best candidate for the main general - he is the only one who can control Cao Pi, after all, he is Cao Pi's cousin in terms of seniority. In terms of war, Cao Xiu and Cao Wenlie, who are newly led by tigers and leopards, are much more powerful than Xiahou Lian, but unfortunately Cao Xiu is the same generation as Cao Pi, and this cousin may not be able to control his cousin - because the hall is too far away.

Cao Zheng Cao Anmin is Cao Pi's serious cousin, but unfortunately he is not very capable of fighting, and after his arm was injured, he directly became a clerk.

Therefore, the general was pulled out and the position of the chief general of Jiangxia was finally forced to fall to Xiahou Lian. Of course, Cao Cao was not confident about Xiahou Lian's ability, so he arranged: "Man Cheng and Wu'er are deputy generals." "Let Li Dian, who has always been cautious, also go with him, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Here, Cao Jun selected the elite and plotted Jiangxia. Xiahou Lian, they haven't left yet. Xun Yu, who was in Xudu, sent someone to send Zhang Hong to Cao Ying. As Chen Duan said. Zhang Hong was ordered to enter Beijing to lobby, but Xun Wenruo was not his favor, but it was not good to agree to his request on behalf of Cao Cao, let alone indulge him to visit the court officials everywhere in the capital, so simply-I will write a letter to help you persuade the prime minister, and you can take it directly to the green forest mountain to pay respects.

Zhang Hong didn't come alone, and he brought a young man named Zhu Huan with him. Zhu Huan is the same as the 6 discussions, and the son of the Zhu family in the four surnames of Zhengwu County is also. With the same mission as the 6 discussions, he wants to come to the seller to seek glory. This time, Jiangdong sent four groups of envoys, Zhang Zhao came directly to Cao Cao this way, it was too sensitive, so the four surnames did not dare to intervene, and the other three roads were arranged for young and middle-aged talents to accompany them.

Cao Cao didn't want to see Zhang Hong, and directly blasted him to live with Zhang Zhao. The two Zhang met and exchanged news, and when they heard that Sun Quan had already raised troops, Zhang Hong couldn't help but be surprised. Then he sighed: "We are all in the middle of Gongjin!" "Let's all fall into Zhou Yu's preset trap.

In addition, Xiahou Lian, Cao Pi, and Li Dian set off six days later, leading 35,000 Mabu soldiers. From the eastern foot of the green forest into the territory of Jiangxia, first attack Nanxin City, and then plan to cross the Zhuanshui, through An 6 to the Jiangxia County Zhixiling. According to the most optimistic estimates, it may be that Huang Zu will have to surrender after defeating An 6, because An 6 is the place where his clan lives, if he can arrest the three or five elders of the An 6 Huang family, are you still afraid that Huang Zu will not bow down to his vassals?

Huang Zu also knew that it was difficult to reach Cao Jun's sharpness, so the Yunshe and the two counties of Nanxin City in the west of Zhuanshui were almost empty. Xiahou Lian's soldiers were bloodless, took the city, and immediately sent people to return to Cao Cao to report their merits. Cao Cao replied to remind him, saying that the southern section of An6 connects the Yangtze River and Guyun Mengze, and you can also travel in large boats, so you must be careful when crossing the river.

The letter had just gone out, and suddenly received a report that Xiahou Lian was attacked by Huang Zu's army when crossing the river and suffered heavy losses. Cao Cao was shocked, and said in his heart that Xiahou Lian and Cao Pi were not skilled enough in the way of the battle array, so that's it, Li Mancheng, you have been with me for many years, fighting in the south and in the north, and you have always been cautious, will you also make mistakes? How did you suffer the loss? How severe is the loss?

Anyway, the distance between the two places is not far away, Cao Cao is in a panic, so he simply ordered Cao Xiu to order Qi Tiger and Leopard to ride, and he personally led the way to meet it. After riding 150 miles in a day, I passed through Nanxin City, and saw a large number of Cao soldiers retreating. Cao Cao gathered the defeated soldiers and inquired about the shape of the front line, only to know that this battle was very tragic.

At that time, Xiahou Lian sent Li Dian to lead the army from the south of An6 to cross the water from the south of An6 to attract Huang Zu's army, and he himself led the main force with Cao Pi and crossed at night from the further upstream. At first, it was quite smooth, but Cao Jun relied on fishing boats and rafts collected from nearby to cross 23/10 in the middle of the night and control the riverbank position. But in the second half of the night, suddenly there was a fire on the water, countless Jingzhou warships surged, rockets were fired, most of the Cao Jun boats crossing the river were burned, and everyone drowned. Xiahou Lian hurriedly ordered to stop the crossing and collect the troops, but just as there was chaos, a large number of enemy foot soldiers came from between the warships in small boats.

Cao Pi couldn't see it, what he liked and was best at was the bow and sword, so he galloped out and shot the enemy general. Unexpectedly, the enemy general will be on the side, that is, he gently and skillfully let the arrow come, and then he shot reflexively, hitting Cao Pi's war horse. The war horse was on the ground, Cao Zihuan rolled the saddle and fell, and his morale suffered a heavy setback.

Xiahou Lian knew that he couldn't win, so he hurriedly ordered someone to snatch back Cao Pi, retreated back to Nanxin City first, and led his own troops to break off. However, the fierce battle reached dawn, most of his subordinates were killed, and Xiahou Gaoxing was also wounded several times, so he had to flee in the wilderness.

What Cao Cao bumped into head-on was Xiahou Lian's defeated army, and Cao Pi estimated that he had fled into Nanxin City at this time. So Cao Cao searched for Xiahou Lian everywhere, and finally he found him, and saw that this in-law was carried on a horse by his own soldiers, and his body was wounded in many places, and the blood was exhausted, and there was only one breath left. Cao Cao was sad and angry, and took Xiahou Lian's hand and gritted his teeth. Xiahou Lian struggled to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "There is a trust from the prime minister...... The enemy general is really brave and fierce, and he ...... it" and swallowed his breath after speaking.

Cao Cao said in his heart, who is that? Is there such a fierce general in Jiangxia? In the past, Hongfu once told me that there was a Huang Hansheng in Jingzhou, a Wen Zhongye, and both of them were talented generals, but Huang Zhong saw Han Xuan in Changsha, could it be said that Liu Biao sent Wen Ping to Jiangxia?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the shouting and killing in the distance, and the defeated soldiers all said: "The enemy is coming!" Cao Cao said in his heart that whoever is so rampant, if you win, you will win, do you still want to chase all the way to Nanxin City? Glancing at Cao Xiu, Cao Wenlie hugged his fists and said: "The prime minister can enter Nanxin City first, and wait for Xiu to refuse to come to the enemy." Cao Cao sneered: "I am not old yet, and I am about to avenge Gao Xing!" He lifted his horse and galloped eastward.

Cao Xiu was afraid that Cao Cao would lose, so he hurriedly drove the tiger and leopard to follow and protect Cao Cao in the middle. There was not much time, and sure enough, they met the enemy, fought fiercely, and injured each other, so they each withdrew their troops and returned. Cao Cao retreated into Nanxin City and summoned Cao Pi to check the defeated soldiers, and the losses in the two battles were no less than 4,000 people. Cao Cao asked his son, what is the total number of enemy troops, and how can you be defeated so badly?

Cao Pi said that according to Erchen's estimates, there were no less than 100 warships in Jiangxia, and more than 30,000 infantry landed on the shore. At that time, we divided 5,000 troops for Li Mancheng to go downstream to make a feint, and another 5,000 or 6,000 troops crossed the river.

Cao Cao sighed: "If Yuan Rang and Miaocai are here, they will not be defeated." ”

The same number of troops, the same encounter, in the hands of different commanders, the final result will be very different. Although the troops on the bank of the river are less than the enemy, as long as they can control the chaos in time and boost their morale, even if they fail, there is no reason to lose so badly. However, Li Dian was not there, and Xiahou Lian and Cao Pi were relatively inexperienced, so they had to return defeated.

However, Jiangxia actually dispatched 30,000 people, which was much unexpected by Cao Cao, and he couldn't help but wonder if Liu Biao had also mobilized the main force of Xiangyang by waterway? Or did Han Xuan in Changsha finally get rid of the shackles of Liu Rui, Zhao Fan and others, and was able to go north to reinforce Huang Zu? Should I take this opportunity to quickly cross the Han River and storm Xiangyang?

After a night of hard thinking, he could not get the gist of it, and at the same time, the sentry sent out also came to report that the enemy had returned to the ship. Cao Cao rested in Nanxin City for two days, rectified the defeated soldiers, and Li Dian also led his army to meet - he was lucky that he did not encounter the enemy much, but the problem was only a feint, and he did not dare to really cross the water, and when he heard that the main force was defeated, he hurriedly retreated.

Cao Cao summoned the three generals to discuss the plan of advance and retreat. Cao Pi advocated moving forward slowly until the west bank of the river stood in formation-"I am prepared today, and the enemy cannot be attacked." Try to destroy the enemy boat and avenge General Gao Xing! Li Dian objected, saying that the morale had been frustrated, and he should return to the camp to make another plan, besides-we are all infantry, how can you destroy the enemy's boat method?

Cao Pi said: "How can it be unbreakable to operate a truck and hit it with a ball of gunpowder? Cao Cao glared at him: "It is difficult for the chariot to operate, and the enemy boat can come and go freely, how to get it accurate?" How to break it? "Don't make up your minds, let's go back first.

So he left hundreds of troops to garrison Nanxin City, and led the army back to the foothills of the green forest. But before he could return to the camp, he received another warning that a large number of enemy troops had suddenly appeared near the village gathering, and everyone used a beam of fire to burn Cao's camp while the south wind was blowing. Le in and out of the battle was wounded, Xun You and others took a lot of effort to repel the enemy, counting more than 1,000 casualties, and the loss of grain and grass was strict.

Cao Cao was really angry, and said in his heart I can't see it, Huang Zu Lao Ge is so good at using soldiers, he is unexpected! Could it be that there is someone who can guide him? Hurried back to the camp and summoned the ministers to come and discuss. Cao Cao said that now the epidemic has basically stopped, we must mobilize the main force to take Jiangxia, save Huang Zu Lao from harassing me on the flank, and if we have to fight so many battles, the enemy will accumulate small victories into big victories, and the morale of our army must fall to the bottom!

Xun You said Prime Minister, don't worry about it first, and then turned to look at one person: "Public courtesy, but you can speak bluntly." ”

The man frowned, glanced at Xun You, then turned to Cao Cao, and arched his hand: "Prime Minister Qiyu, when the enemy attacks, the shot is from the lookout and watches, but it doesn't seem to be all the ......pawns of Jiangxia."
