Huangfu Songyi lost his reputation, so he was planted in the hands of Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Chan gained a lot of prestige, Huangfu Song died, Hedong County was suddenly a group of dragons without a leader, Gongsun Zhan's cavalry was fast, not waiting for Sima Fang to dispatch troops, he had already captured Puban, Fenyin and Hejin on the edge of the Yellow River, and held the Yellow River crossing.

By the time Sima Fang's reinforcements Li Dao and Sima Yi arrived in Linjin, they had lost the best time to counterattack, Gongsun Zan personally sat in Puban, facing Li Dao across the river, Li Dao was stunned that he could not cross the river, and Gongsun Fan moved his army north to garrison Hejin, and Linfen was stationed by Tian Kai.

Huangfu Song is considered to be Sima Fang's subordinate, and he did not withdraw from the historical stage, but hung back to Chang'an, which happened to fall into the hands of Sima Fang, and Sima Fang took the opportunity to eliminate the last restless warlord in his jurisdiction, which can be regarded as a bad thing and a good thing.

From Sima Fang's point of view, Hedong is not a strategically necessary point, on the contrary, the east, west, north, and east of the river are attacked on three sides, which belongs to the salient part, and it is surrounded by Gongsun Zhan's territory, which is like a hand stretched into Gongsun Zhan's courtyard, and sooner or later it will be a disaster.

What's more, Hedong County is barren and has a small population, and this kind of place is a burden, thankless, and has no value to compete for.

However, Gongsun Zhan's sneak attack on Hedong is a slap in the face of Sima Fang, so Sima Fang must have some reaction, otherwise how can he convince the public, not to mention, reinforcements have been sent, there is no reason to withdraw back without doing anything, such a shameful thing Sima Fang must not do.

Sima Fang wrote a secret letter about his thoughts and told Sima Yi that Sima Fang was still very proud of his young son, and the only thing he was worried about was that he was young and vigorous, not cautious enough and made a rash mistake.

Sima Yi This is the first time to go on the expedition, and he is holding back his strength to make a contribution, he is really young and vigorous now, and together with Li Dao, he is constantly urging Li Dao to move quickly. Li Dao is a veteran general in the army, and he is quite displeased with this noble son, but he is Sima Fang's beloved son, even if he disdains, he can only pinch his nose and admit it.

Hurried along the way, still one step behind, watching Gongsun Chan capture Urasaka. The ferries on the Yellow River were blocked, and across the Yellow River, Li Dao was helpless, and the arrogant Sima Yi was unwilling.

Sima Yi rolled his eyes and suggested that Li Dao set up camp on the shore and look across the river from Gongsun Zhan. Li Dao did not object to this suggestion, he was ordered to rescue Hedong County, and now he can't even cross the river, not to mention meritorious service, the first thing to think about is how to entrust responsibility, and now Sima Yi said that he wants to set up camp, which just gives Li Dao an excuse. Even Sima Yi said that he camped, not to mention crossing the river, so the responsibility was naturally borne by Sima Yi, who was a military advisor.

Gongsun Chan was on the other side of the river, watching Li Dao lead people to camp on the other side of the river, as if he was going to make up his mind to fight against himself, Gongsun Chan didn't care, leaving a small army to garrison at the ferry, always keeping an eye on the enemy. As soon as the enemy wanted to cross the river, he immediately recruited cavalry to attack, and he himself returned to Pusaka Castle and began to reorganize the new city, wanting to make Pusaka Castle an important strategic node for Sima Fang.

Speaking of Li Dao, according to Sima Yi's suggestion, he built a camp of no small scale on the highlands on the riverbank with great fanfare. At the same time, the task of collecting the boats crossing the river was issued to the Inhumans, as well as the tasks of crossing the river reconnaissance, raiding behind enemy lines, etc., and it looked like he was ready to forcibly cross the river. Although it is autumn and winter, and the Yellow River is not abundant, it is really not a good idea to cross the river, because the Yellow River is different from other rivers. p> After arranging all the matters, Li Wei was thinking about how to talk to Sima Yi well, although he had a noble status, he couldn't ignore the life and death of the soldiers! If he couldn't listen, then he had to write directly to Sima Fang, who was still a very reasonable person.

It's just that he didn't wait for Li Dao to find Sima Yi, Sima Yi had already found Li Dao.

"Zhongda, I'm just about to look for you.1 Li Wei couldn't help blurting out when he saw Sima Yi sitting on the pony in his big tent, holding a cup of hot tea and roasting the fire.

"Oh? What is General Lee looking for? ”

Sima Yi spoke unhurriedly, and in terms of his neat and delicate dress, as well as his upright sitting posture, he was definitely a model of a noble son.

"Well, that's right, I look at Zhongda's arrangement, it seems that I want to force the Yellow River to cross, although the Yellow River is not abundant now, it's not impossible to cross, but just now the situation on both sides of the Yellow River Zhongda should also have seen it, in this case, as long as the other party occupies a fairly high riverbank, condescendingly bombarded with heavy weapons, crossing the river is not a simple matter, I am worried that this will cause huge damage1

"Hehe" Sima Yi laughed: "It would be better if even General Li believed that he was going to cross the river1

"Huh? Could it be that Chung Tat didn't want to cross the river? ”

"No, I really want to cross the river 1

"General Li is not in a hurry, he really wants to cross the river, but he does not cross the river here, but here he makes a gesture of wanting to cross the river, attracts the attention of Gongsun Zhan, and then quietly finds another place to cross the river, as long as we occupy a ferry on the other side of the river, the situation is different.1

"This is indeed possible, but the location of the river crossing is not easy to find, and the suitable places for crossing the Yellow River are very limited, and Gongsun Chan will definitely send troops to garrison it.1

"What General Li said is very true, so we need to make a posture to force the crossing here, so that they can believe it, so that we can relax our vigilance and give us an opportunity to take advantage of."

Li Wei thought about it, this method is not impossible, even if it doesn't work, there will be no loss if the river crossing fails, and he can be regarded as doing his best, and he has also explained the past to Sima Fang, so he nodded in agreement: "In this case, how should I act?" ”

Sima Yi leaned into Li Wei's ear and said softly: "As long as it's like this"

Li Dao set up camp by the river, began to collect timber for boats, and made great preparations for crossing the river, while the troops of Gongsun Chan on the other side of the river kept a close eye on Li Dao's movements, and carefully reported to Gongsun Chan how many boats Li Dao had built every day.

While paying close attention to Li Dao's movements, Gongsun Zhan in Puban Castle stepped up construction and rectification of affairs in Pusaka Castle, moved the rich households in the city to Taiyuan and Shangdang, and gathered the poor and prisoners captured by Shangdang and Hexi, as well as homeless people and hired peasants, to the east and west of Hexi.

The same thing was going on in Hejin and Fenyin, and Gongsun Chan wanted to gain this precious time to build the western defense line as soon as possible, and after these important nodes were built, Sima Fang would not dare to attack Linfen and Anyi in depth on the basis of not taking these important logistics channels.

It's just that Gongsun Zhan didn't know that Li Dao was building a boat and raft with great fanfare on the edge of the Yellow River opposite Puban, but Sima Yi had secretly led a cavalry of thousands of people to leave at night and go north to Longmen Mountain.

The reason why Sima Yi chose Longmen Mountain opposite Hejin instead of Xiayang opposite Linfen was mainly out of secrecy, Xiayang is a medium-sized city, with a large population and complex personnel, and it is difficult to ensure that there are Gongsun Zhan's spies among them, if his thousands of cavalry appear in Xiayang, it will definitely attract the attention of the Fenyin guards on the opposite side.

Longmen Mountain is different, Longmen Mountain is a mountain at all, there is no town, only a small village under the mountain, and few outsiders come, Sima Yi is here, as long as he controls the people in this small village, his whereabouts will not be leaked. The second advantage is that there are more places to cross the river here, and there is a wide beach on the east bank of the river that has been washed out by the flood, which is dozens of miles long, and if you secretly cross the river, the enemy army will not be able to defend against it.

Sima Yi Xiaosu night travel, along the way very carefully around the city, sneaked into Longmen Mountain, and then controlled the population of the village, cut down trees to build a raft, that night, Sima Yi left 300 people to guard the war horse, with nearly 4,000 soldiers, secretly came to the river bank, took advantage of the dark first sent a few rafts with ropes to steal over, after setting up a guard on the opposite bank, began to smuggle along the rope on a large scale.

With the help of ropes, the soldiers only need to stand on the raft and pull the rope hard, without worrying about being carried away by the river, and there is no need to worry about the raft capsizing, in less than an hour, Sima Yi's people have all crossed the Yellow River.

Sima Yi led people to bypass Hejin from the south, and then turned around and went north, until they came to the north of Hejin City, occupied the upper hand, and then secretly approached Hejin, and when Sima Yi was finally discovered by Gongsun Fan's secret sentinel, Sima Yi's men and horses had already arrived under the city wall!

The battle broke out suddenly, and the silent city was awakened, but Gongsun Fan was completely defenseless, and there were too few defenders on the city wall, so Sima Yi took the opportunity to rush onto the city wall.

"Block the sides of the city wall, and throw the oil canister into the city, fast 1

"Skills! Fire Attack 1

"Wind and fire 1

Sima Yi's skill activation conditions are limited, first of all, it must be a geographical environment suitable for fire attack, secondly, it must be downwind, and finally, fire attack must be used as a guide! When these conditions are all in place, Sima Yi's skills will exert terrifying power!

Hejin is a small city, the building structure of the city was originally very compact, now the fire together, that is really the wind to help the fire out of control, Gongsun Fan is rushing with soldiers to support, the fire is coming, like a beast, suddenly Gongsun Fan's troops are also involved in the sea of fire, Gongsun Fan was horrified, had to turn around and flee, finally escaped from the south of the city, but was ambushed by the enemy, in the dark, Gongsun Fan did not know how many people there were on the other side, so he had to run all the way to Fenyin, and waited until Fenyin, Gongsun Fan found that his troops were not badly damaged, but the infantry suffered heavy losses.

In fact, there were not many people in those ambushes at all, most of them were bluffs, or Sima Yi's skills were to blame, but Gongsun Fan was scared enough, and the fire burned Hejin.

When Li Dao received the news, he immediately let the cavalry set off, rushed to Longmen Mountain before Gongsun Zhan reacted, crossed the Yellow River under the protection of Sima Yi, rebuilt the fortress on the old site of Hejin, and bit this bridgehead to the death. To be continued...
