Fa Zheng received a secret report from Chengdu, saying that Pang Shiyuan might not be in his favor, and it was on the eve of setting up an ambush to encircle Xiahou Yuan that the trap had been set and the bait had been thrown, just waiting for Xiahou Miao to throw himself into the net. Therefore, he entrusted his friend Li Yan to prepare for and even counterattack Pang Tong, and asked him to write to Peng Yi to collect evidence of Pang Tong's arrogance and lawlessness, and he put his mind on the final implementation of the strategy and the strategy of cleaning up Xiahou Yuan's army.

Pang Tong is known as Qingjie, and he may indeed not be like him who is filial and upright, taking revenge for personal gain, and doing something illegal, but Liu Bei is outside the army, and Pang Tong is in charge of internal affairs, is there any abuse of power or even power during this period? This kind of mistake is still easy to catch.

Let's say that after beheading Xiahou Yuan, Pang Tong is Liu Bei: "I expect Zhang He to get the news, and he will go to Yongxian, and Zidu (Mengda) is not enough." The lord should quickly reorganize the army and horses, go to the aid, and take advantage of the situation to show the head of Xiahou under the city, then Yongxian will go down, I am in Guanzhong, and I have to gain a foothold. ”

Liu Beiyan obeyed, hurriedly rested his soldiers and horses on the spot, and set off for Yongxian County the next morning. Five miles away from Yongxian County, suddenly a defeated army came to vote, Yun Zhanghe led the army to the north, and Mengda was broken. Fa Zheng was overjoyed and said: "It's only five miles, our army can advance quickly, and we can destroy Zhang He under the city and cut him down!" ”

It takes a while for a single person to walk for five miles, but in the battle of the Great Army, it is almost negligible. Zhang He broke Meng Da, cleaned the battlefield, reorganized the queue, and rescued the wounded, and it would take a while, even if Yongxian opened the city gate and let him in, it is estimated that he could not go halfway, and the Yizhou army could be slaughtered.

Besides, as long as it is clearly stated that Xiahou Yuan is dead, people in Yongxian County will inevitably be panicked, even if he has one more Zhang Junyi. Can morale be revived so quickly? Just took the opportunity to bring Zhang He and Yongxian together.

If Zhang He is defeated, he will send a partial, and Chen Cang can also go down with a drum.

But who would have thought that the Yizhou army would hurry up, but in the end it was still a step too late, and Zhang He turned abruptly almost at the same time as breaking Meng Da. Flashed in an instant. Even Fa Zheng couldn't help but be stunned by this, feeling incredible, and hurriedly sent people to investigate everywhere, only then did he finally understand why Zhang He ran so fast.

It turned out that the day before yesterday ordered Zhang Fei to retreat and return to Shuzhong through the old road of Sanguan, but Zhang Yide did not make an inch. But he refused to stop there. He temporarily retreated into his old way, but after the troops had advanced for more than ten miles, he stopped, and then sent people out in disguise to inquire about the situation in Chen Cang. Chen Zhi repeatedly advised, saying that we should not move again. It is estimated that the dry food will not be able to eat Nanzheng, and the food will have to be cut off halfway. Zhang Fei always glared at him and replied: "Eight-foot man, but if you don't eat for five days, you will die?" ”

In Chencang City, Zhang He received a military order from Xiahou Yuan and led the army to feign north to respond to Yongxian. Tie up the siege soldiers. But as soon as he left the city, a spy reported to Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei immediately led the army to march overnight. Rush out of the pass again. Chen Zhi expressed his worries: "Investigate what Zhang He did, and the suspicious soldiers will not go far, waiting for me to attack the city, he will turn back, and I am afraid that he will be defeated." Zhang Fei pouted: "If there is no enemy." Do not multiply, if there is a gap. Can you indulge it? How dare you spare your life? "I'll bet on it. Even if you lose, it's better than going home empty-handed!

Over there, Zhang He sent people to secretly visit Yongxian County, and the sentry reported: "Although there are still dozens of camps, they are all vacant, and I am afraid that they will go." Zhang He was shocked when he heard the news, and said that the enemy had run away? Where did you go? Didn't you go to intercept General Miaocai? But how quickly? Feeling that Xiahou Yuan hadn't hit the snake's seven inches, the snake's tail rolled back first-couldn't it be that the plan was leaked, so that the enemy could prepare in advance? It's not good, General Miaocai is in danger!

So what should I do? Only by marching quickly, first destroying the soldiers and horses left by the enemy army under Yongxian County (it is estimated that there will not be many), and then looking for the location of Xiahou Yuan and responding to it. Immediately ordered, the whole army marched to Yongxian.

Zhang He left, but Zhang Fei quietly touched him behind. As a result, Zhang Fei successfully crossed Weishui overnight, and then stormed the city regardless of casualties, and the fortress of Chencang fell in just one morning.

When the news reached the army, Zhang He was fighting with Meng Da, and he was shocked when he heard the news. He knew that if Chen Cang was lost, Yongxian County would not be able to defend it, and if Zhang Fei was in a hurry, the headquarters would collapse. So he gritted his teeth, rode forward, took the lead in the charge, defeated Meng Da in one fell swoop, and then without stopping at all, he led his troops to withdraw quickly to the west.

When Liu Bei got the news, he couldn't help but pause: "Yide doesn't obey the general's order, and even loses it, he can't take Zhang He's head!" The generals explained: "Since General Zhang has taken Chen Cang, he has no merit and no fault, and the lord cannot be harshly reprimanded." Now that the south road is worry-free, it can quickly go down to Yongxian County, follow Zhang He, and go straight to the heart of the enemy. ”

So when Xiahou Yuan's head was about to be shown to the city, the morale of the defenders fell sharply and they passed the city one after another. The Yizhou army took the city with a charge, and the county magistrate Feng Yin surrendered by himself, and Liu Bei comforted him and still made him guard Yongxian.

The army continued to advance and surged to the east, but Su Ze knew that he could not defend it, so he took the initiative to abandon Yixian and retreated to Wugong. Immediately, Zhang He, Guo Huai and others each led their armies to join, and Guo Huaijian said: "General Zhang, a famous general of the country, Liu Bei is afraid; Today's matter is urgent, and General Zhang can't be at ease. So the public recommended Zhang He as the main officer, encouraged the three armies, revived morale, and finally stabilized the battle line.

However, at this point, half of Fufeng was gone, and the Wei army retreated to the east of Yongshui, not only did not attack at all, but also held in a hurry. The Liang and Yi coalition armies are in great shape, especially those in Chencang and Yixian, and they can transport grain and supplies by themselves—although the road is dangerous and difficult, it is much closer than going around from Liangzhou and then transporting them up, and it can also avoid being controlled by others.

So where are Cao Cao's reinforcements if the shape is so bad? At that time, Cao Cao had arrived at Lishan, almost a stone's throw away from Chang'an, but when he received a secret report from Lu Hong from Anyi overnight, he couldn't help but frown, and his head swelled for a while. After pondering for a long time, Cao Cao finally put the secret report on the fire, and then instructed the messenger: "Return to Lu Cifan, if a word is leaked, Lone will be killed!" ”

Cao Ang has a trace of unrealistic illusions about the Han family, and he has always been unenthusiastic about his plot to usurp the Han Dynasty, and even a little dismissive. It's just that I didn't expect my son to speak so fiercely this time - is it because Ben is in a private room, and the person in front of him is a relative, so he is open-mouthed? If Cao Ang's original words were just that, only words were transmitted, and there was no expression to accompany him, Cao Cao's feelings would not be as deep as that of Xun - to put it bluntly, doubts would be greater than disappointment. The question Cao Pi's words to Xiu are too ruthless, what is "true power and treachery", what is "arrogant and arrogant, and forced by arbitrary power", and even "Wu Ning Cao clan is not disloyal and unrighteous for this, and the things of beasts are also"......

Zixiu, aren't you accustomed to pure filial piety? "Hiding for the monarch's father" is the righteousness of filial piety, how can you say that about your father?! Did I even look away, and his former filial face was all an illusion? No, no......

But Cao Cao didn't write to Cao Ang and ask him about it—is this what you said? Even if it's the original words, is it your original intention? It's not good to ask this even in person, otherwise the father and son will really tear their faces apart. Besides, unless he has an iron heart to break with his father, Cao Ang will definitely not admit it.

As Cao Pi expected, no matter how much Cao Cao reused Lu Hong and trusted the school affairs, he would not listen to these rumors lightly, and even if he did believe some of them, he would not let it be a big deal and erase Cao Ang's position as the heir on impulse. He thought that after I returned to the teacher, I would ask Shi Xun for a good look, and then ask Zi Xiu about your true intentions. If these are indeed your true thoughts, then for the sake of my family and country, no matter how much I love you, I can't let a guy from the "Cao clan of the Ning clan" come to be my heir!

However, he is still a child after all, and he has not even been a father for a few years, as long as I know the reason, move with affection, and strictly supervise, I may not be able to educate him back - but this is a headache after all.

Cao Cao didn't expect that the thing that gave him a real headache would come soon, and he only got up the next day, when suddenly the West came to report that Xiahou Yuan was defeated and his head was in a different place! Cao Cao screamed at this time, and collapsed on the spot - the head wind completely recurred. The pain was that for days on end, he could barely move. After a few days, his condition eased a little, and he finally arrived in Chang'an, and the situation on the front line was already too bad to be worse.

Sima Yi, the assassin of Yongzhou, welcomed Cao Cao into the state office, and at the same time reported: "There is an envoy in Jincheng, who asks to see Duke Wei, because he knows that Duke Wei is not far away, and the minister asks him to wait for ......" Cao Cao shook his head: "Put it away." "The situation is so bad, I still have a lot of official business to do, who has time to deal with the envoy sent by Han Sui at this time? You can arrange it as you like, and I'll see him when I'm free.

Cao Cao was not busy rushing to the front line to command, but immediately sat in Chang'an, dispatched troops, and reorganized the defense line. The first thing to do was to send the troops brought from Kanto to the Yongshui front one after another, quietly replace the defeated soldiers and horses with weakened morale, and then build forts along the east of the water to contain the offensive of the coalition forces.

Cao Cao must be prepared for another defeat on the front, on the one hand, he transferred troops and horses to Hedong, Hongnong, Feng Yi and other places, and at the same time rushed to build a second line of defense from Du You to Ho to defend Chang'an. Then he wrote a letter to Lu Bu, condemning Chen Gong's behavior of helping Liu Bei, but he only expressed the attitude between the lines, but he did not have the slightest resentment towards Lu Fengxian, as if Chen Gong and the other party were not in the same camp at all, he was just complaining about other people's affairs with his old friends - this is exactly the "separation of Chen Lu" built by Xun.

After finishing these things, Cao Cao finally planned to go to the front line to take a look. But when he was packing up, Sima Yi came to inquire and said that Wei Gong, the envoy of Jincheng, have you not seen it? If he is not going to summon him, I will send him back.

Cao Cao casually asked, "Who did Han Sui send?" Sima Yi replied: "Qianwei is too protective of Yan Yanming." ”

Hearing this name, Cao Cao couldn't help but lock his eyebrows, curled his beard, and sneered: "Who dare to come to see Lone?!" (To be continued) R580
