Chapter 488: The Battle of Yanzhou (2)
Chen Gong has always been thinking about Lu Bu, so all he planned before was to take refuge in Lu Bu, but now that he has taken refuge in himself, he has thought about these things in this short period of time, and he really does not lose the emperor-level famous general.
"What the public station says, but it is a conspiracy." Li Yang nodded happily.
"But my lord, there is still an important issue that needs to be solved." Chen Gong said solemnly to Li Yang, who sat down again.
"What's the problem?"
"If Lu Bu can't go to Jiyin in time, then we will be attacked by Cao Cao's main force in Puyang."
Li Yang nodded, Puyang turned out to be Cao Cao's main city, and it must be the main target of Cao Cao's return after his return.
If Lu Bu had other advisers to explain his interests and disadvantages, and did not let him send troops to Jiyin, or if Lu Bu entered Jiyin County, but could not stop Cao Cao's pace at all, then Puyang would become the main battlefield.
Therefore, the problem to be solved now is to let Lu Bu rush to Jiyin County in a timely and accurate manner to block the pace of Cao Cao's return, and then strengthen the combat capability of Puyang City to prevent accidents.
"Gongtai, how many credible troops do you have in your hands now?"
"The entire East County combined, less than 100,000."
Li Yang nodded, this is also inevitable, after all, the main force has been used by Cao Cao to attack him.
"Enough for the time being!" Li Yang nodded and said: "Before coming here, I ordered someone to return to Tianyun to deliver a message, urgently mobilize 200,000 military horses, and I believe that I will be able to come in less than a month." ”
"The lord still has troops in his hands?" Chen Gong was a little surprised.
"Well, my Tianyun Pass, there are still 400,000 Zhenguan troops, I didn't want to use it, but now it seems that I can't move it."
Chen Gong was a little surprised that Li Yang still had 200,000 troops, but he had no objection to sending a message to mobilize 200,000 troops here.
Of course, what he thought in his mind was that Li Yang wanted to attack Puyang with these 200,000 soldiers, not to help Puyang defend.
"Lord, if the 200,000 troops want to rush to Puyang, they must pass through the territory of the Cao army, and not only will they not succeed in reaching Puyang, but they will also be startled." Chen Gong frowned and said.
Li Yang smiled mysteriously at Chen Gong and said, "Don't worry, Gongtai, I have another channel to secretly transport them to Puyang City." ”
Seeing Li Yang so confident, Chen Gong not only fell into deep thought, but only for a moment, he suddenly raised his head, "The lord is talking about the waterway. ”
"Haha, that's right!"
If Li Yang has a force that can override everyone in the Hua District, it is Li Yang's town navy, and this matter is not Li Yang's own opinion, but recognized among players.
"It is rumored that there is a huge ink-colored ship under the lord's seat, which is like a black fortress across the river, and no one dares to stop its edge, I don't know if I can see it this time."
"Nature." Li Yang replied with a smile, after all, 200,000 soldiers and horses are not a small number, except for Penglai Immortal Island, only Molong can quietly send it over.
"That palace can be seen, it is rumored that Cao Cao has never dared to establish a naval army, just because of this inky giant ship." After speaking, Chen Gong looked at Li Yang again and said, "Lord, even if you have these 200,000 soldiers and horses, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop Cao Cao's main force." ”
This Li Yang naturally knows, 400,000 against 2 million, even if he defends the city, it is enough to be mysterious, not to mention that Cao Cao still has a thunderbolt in his hand.
"Therefore, we mainly want Lu Bu to block in front of Cao Cao in time." Li Yang said in a deep voice.
Thinking of this, Li Yang suddenly became two big, this is not his strong point after all, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, 'Hey! It's good that Zhang Liang is next to him. ’
Li Yang discussed with Chen Gong for a while, but there was no good way, so in the end he could only go with the flow.
Since the 200,000 Zhenguan army has not yet arrived, Li Yang can only continue to wait patiently, but now with Chen Gong's help, Li Yang's 30,000 elite horsemen don't have to worry about food and grass.
Of course, in order to prevent Cao Jun from becoming suspicious, the grain rush action naturally cannot be stopped.
Time passed slowly, and it was October in a blink of an eye.
On this day, Li Yang came to the Puyang County Shoufu.
In the past month, Li Yang has introduced all the remaining 20,000 elite horsemen into Puyang City, except for Yanyun Iron Cavalry, who wants to continue to plunder grain and grass.
Of course, these are all the credits of Chen Gong.
Even in order not to be detected by Cao Jun, Chen Gong also mobilized the forces in Puyang City in advance, and on a dark and windy night, all those Cao Cao's cronies were killed.
After a night of blood and rain, although the people of Puyang were unaware, secretly the entire Puyang fell into a closed state, and almost became a realm where they could only enter but not leave.
"Gongtai, has Cao Jun's latest battle report arrived?" Li Yang looked at Chen Gong who walked in and said.
"As the lord expected, the battle report has come." As he spoke, Chen Gong took out a battle report from his bosom and handed it to Li Yang.
Li Yang hurriedly took it from Chen Gong's hand, and then couldn't wait to open it to check.
The battle on Fei's side continued, but the Taishan army had already gained the upper hand, and I am afraid that within half a month, Xiahou Yuan would be able to repel it.
Of course, what this military newspaper said was naturally the news that the military situation was urgent, and Xiahou Yuan asked for help.
Continuing to look down, Li Yang became more and more happy.
"The second brother is really pretending to be surrounded." Li Yang said happily.
According to the battle report, half a month ago, an army of more than 400,000 people suddenly appeared in Pengcheng County, and when Cao Ren led the main force to attack Lu County, he took Pengcheng with lightning speed.
Then, when Cao Ren returned to attack Pengcheng, he set up an ambush halfway, although Cao's army was not greatly damaged, but it was also a little anxious.
There is no need to guess this, these 400,000 troops are either the Hades Legion or the Mad Dragon Legion, otherwise who would send 400,000 troops to help them.
With these 400,000, plus 500,000 soldiers and horses of the Wolf Tooth Army, there must be no problem in blocking Cao Ren, of course, it is a little impractical to recapture Pengcheng.
The most critical place is only here in Xiangcheng.
The Dragon Legion and the Pluto Legion have a total of one million troops, and there are nearly 100,000 casualties due to the attack on Xiangcheng and Shouchun, but after capturing Shouchun, Li Yang and they surrendered part of the army, which can barely make up for the original million army.
When leaving Shouchun, Li Yang left 100,000 soldiers to guard Shouchun, and Li Yang took 30,000 cavalry, which means that Zhang Liang had less than 900,000 soldiers and horses in their hands.
Now that there are 400,000 soldiers and horses, that is to say, there are only 400,000 troops in Xiangcheng, and there is still a great danger in the face of the 800,000 Cao army's wanton bombardment.
"I knew that when I captured Xiangcheng before, I should have arranged more defenders, so that I wouldn't be so easily broken by Cao's army." Li Yang muttered with some annoyance.
At the beginning, he didn't expect Cao Cao to attack him, plus he was a little proud and complacent at that time, and he didn't follow Zhang Liang's advice at that time, which led to the current consequences.
Chen Gong had already read this battle report before, and to be honest, he still admired Li Yang, the second brother, and at the same time, he was a little more determined to guess the identity of this person in his heart.
Just when Chen Gong was about to speak out and ask his lord and the identity of his second brother, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Lord!"
Li Yang and Chen Gong could both hear that it was Luda's voice.
Since Li Yang's army was stationed in Puyang City, the county guard was almost protected by Li Yang's Red Refining Dragon War.
Chen Gong got up and opened the door, Luda walked in from outside the door, he glanced up at Chen Gong, and then said to Li Yang: "Lord, the Zhenguan Army is here." ”
