Just when Cao Cao's troops were preparing to attack Zhang Lu, an unexpected incident happened - Lei Xu, the former general of the Yuan Shu Department who had been recruited by Liu Fu before, didn't know what nerves he had, and he suddenly launched a rebellion without anyone responding.

Although Lei Xu's subordinates are all a rabble, there are tens of thousands of them, and if these people follow Sun Quan when Sun Quan attacked Hefei before, at least Sun Quan will not be directly scared away by Jiang Ji's letter.

But they didn't surrender to the enemy at that time, but this time they suddenly and suddenly rebelled, and Cao Cao was instantly destroyed.

He hurriedly ordered Xiahou Yuanbu, who had already begun to prepare to advance towards Guanzhong, to quickly lead his troops south and engage Lei Xu and others.

Xiahou Yuan pondered that it was too hard for so many bandits in the south, and the battle of Guanzhong was about to be held, so why should he be involved in too much energy by these anti-thieves.

After thinking about it repeatedly, he asked Cao Cao to send Zhang Liao, the general of Dangkou, as his own troops to fight first, and Zangba, the assassin of Xuzhou, also led his army to prepare to cut off Sun Quan's possible support, in order to completely defeat Lei Xu.

The reason for Lei Xu's rebellion is also very funny.

He, Chen Lan and others originally made a living from looting here, doing businessless business.

But Cao Cao asked to relocate the people to the north before, and all the people were frightened and ran to Sun Quan, and now Lei Xu, Chen Lan and others could not loot, and the more they thought about it, the more angry they became, and they directly led the army to beat Cao Jun to vent their anger.

These people have no fighting philosophy, and their subordinates are also a group of miscellaneous soldiers who can only bully people, I heard that the three fierce men of Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Liao, and Zang Ba actually came to clean up themselves together, and they rushed on the spot.

Chen Lan was honest, and when she saw the enemy's army coming, she fled directly to Tianzhu Mountain.

Lei Xu was not stupid, he fought and retreated, asked Sun Quan for help, Sun Quan, who had just mourned Zhou Yu, seized the opportunity and immediately ordered Lu Su to lead the army north, cross the river and defeat Cao's army in Anhui County, and successfully gain a foothold in Jiangbei.

Zhang Liao's subordinates who crusaded against Chen Lan did not have many people, he heard that the Wu army had arrived in Anhui County, and tried to attack it while the Wu army was not firmly established, but Han Dang and others fought bravely, and there were many soldiers under his command, and Zhang Liao's hundreds of people attacked or so, and they did not take advantage of it, so they had to ask Zang Ba for help, which blocked Han Dang's attack.

In the fierce battle of January, the powerful Zang Ba withstood the siege of a strong enemy, and Zhang Liao also took the opportunity to kill Chen Lan, but Cao's army was still insufficient to recapture Anhui County, so that Wu's army could calmly assemble in Jiangbei.

This made Sun Quan overjoyed, and finally decided that Guan Ping's news was true.

All right.

Cao Jun really had insufficient troops, and he could only send this bit of troops and horses to garrison the two Huai important places, and even Xuzhou Zang Ba was transferred.

After the war, Cao's army didn't even have time to clean up the four fields, but simply moved the people, and ordered the general Zhang Liao, the general of Dangkou, and the general Li Dian to lead 7,000 troops to Hefei, which was counted as the last defense in the Lianghuai region.

Seven thousand......

Hearing this, all the generals of the Wu army showed sympathetic smiles on their faces.

It's really tragic.

Cao Jun is really unavailable now, and he actually expects 7,000 people to hold Lianghuai.

Once Hefei is broken, all that remains is the defenders of less than 3,000 in Shouchun, but Xuzhou Zangba and others.

Zang Ba and the others are not Cao Cao's irons, as long as Hefei is broken, Sun Quan can give Zang Ba a heavy reward and let Zang Ba put him under his command.

"Hmph, I thought that Lei Xu Chen Lan was making trouble, and the old thief would increase reinforcements in Lianghuai, but I didn't expect it...... He still doesn't learn his lesson. Sun Quan said leisurely, "Okay, then I'll give the old thief a face." ”

Sun Quanjun understood it from top to bottom.

They had just obtained a large number of people in Lianghuai, and it was time for the autumn harvest, Sun Quan was ready to go back and let out the rumors that he would build the Wet Dock and level Shanyue, and when it was determined that Cao's army would be pulled out, they would immediately go north and launch a fatal blow to Hefei.

Last time, Sun Quan had less than 20,000 people in his hands, and finally fell short and was scared away, this time Sun Quan learned a lesson, he ordered everyone to hurry up and do a good job of the autumn harvest, and when the autumn harvest is over, Cao Cao's westward expedition must have begun.

"I want an army of 100,000!" The young Jiangdong Lord's eyes were full of blood, "Bring more officials, and after I sweep away the two Huai and recruit Zang Ba, we will occupy this place immediately." ”

Liu Bei has not even touched the edge of Yizhou now, and my Sun Quan is about to enter the Central Plains, and the names of Zhang Liao and Li Dian were mentioned in the previous book of heaven, and it seems that my fate only arrived when they were there.

Then I'll ......

You're welcome.

·

Guan Ping was really startled when he heard that Lei Xu and others were in trouble in Lianghuai.

These people were not mixed in Lujiang on the first day, they didn't have anything to do when Sun Quan attacked Hefei before, and when Sun Quan left, they temporarily started an incident, if they led all the generals of the Cao army over, wouldn't it destroy the deployment of the previous Sun-Liu coalition army.

Fortunately, Cao Jun's performance in this battle was very average.

Although they cut off Chen Lan's head, Lei Xu's tens of thousands of people retreated in formation, and a large number of Cao troops looked confused when they came out of Tianzhu Mountain, completely unaware of what was going on.

You must know that the best way to supply a large army is to supplement military rations from the local area, but the previous people preferred to go to Sun Quan because they were afraid of Cao Cao's migration policy, which caused the local bandits to starve to death, and Zhang Liao and them were of course unable to replenish.

It must have been too late to sow seeds this year, and Lianghuai could not afford to raise a large army, so although Zhang Liao and Li Dian won a great victory, they could only return to Hefei with 7,000 people to squat on the spot.

What made Cao Jun even more desperate was that most of their troops had been mobilized to Guanzhong for the expedition before, the grain, grass, and ordnance had passed, and a large number of people had been mobilized, Zhao Yan and Du Yi had all gone to the front line to organize transportation.

In desperation, Cao Cao could only temporarily order Shouchun to increase his troops by 10,000, and at the same time ordered Zang Ba to support him at any time after the autumn harvest.

All the generals of Cao's army believed that Hefei would definitely not be able to hold it, and they could only count on Zhang Liao to hold out for a while longer, so that Cao's army could redeploy in Shouchun and block Sun Quan's army's attack in the direction of Shouchun.

In this case, this campaign is even more important, in order to ensure the full success, Cao Cao personally wrote a letter to Yunshan.

In the letter, Cao Cao praised Guan Ping's previous merits and contributions, and even relieved Yunshan for the loss of Nanjun, and encouraged Yunshan to make further contributions.

In the end, Cao Cao changed his words and assigned an important task to Yunshan - to lead the naval army to march west along the Han River, Cao Cao personally led the army to attack Yangping Pass, and the two sides were attacked, so Zhang Lu must be allowed to take care of one and the other, and help Cao's army take Hanzhong as quickly as possible.

In order to achieve this strategic goal, Cao Cao can be said to have made a bloody investment.

He provided Guan Ping with a large amount of copper, cloth, and grain, so that Guan Ping could reward the shipbuilders and the soldiers who raided Hanzhong.

Guan Ping's attack in the upper reaches of the Han River is a lone battle, and this is Guan Ping's own control of all the current water armies of Cao's army, Cao Cao naturally has to be stingy with heavy rewards, so as not to cause accidents.

Guan Ping received so many rewards, and suddenly showed a righteous face.

"Even if the prime minister gives my subordinates a reward, why do you want to give me so many rewards? Is it that without a reward, I, Yunshan, will not fight hard?

Shuda, all these things will be handed over to you, and you will reward them to the soldiers separately, and there shall be no mistake. ”

Sima Fu's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly:

"General Yun is really righteous and awe-inspiring, just like the Marquis of Changping back then, this thousand-mile expedition, the prime minister handed over the army to the general, it can be regarded as choosing the right person."

With Sima Fu's way of management, these things will definitely be able to play a greater value in his hands, he and Guan Ping have cooperated for a long time, this tacit understanding has long been needless to say, a touting made everyone can't help but sit up straight, and they have sighed that Guan Ping has clear rewards and punishments, and has the style of a celebrity.

"The soldiers are fast, the prime minister has been hiding it before, send me a letter this time, and the front must have set off. The sooner I go, the more I can share some of the thieves' forces with Prime Minister Fei. Guan Ping looked righteous and said solemnly, "I have been training for a long time for the navy, just wait for this moment, if you can't make meritorious contributions, please ask the son to punish the crime." ”

Cao Pi looked at Guan Ping's solemn appearance, and couldn't help but slowly open his mouth and shout hello.

Because of the previous incident, his friendship with Yunshan is not as close as before, but Yunshan is willing to go on an expedition at any cost, and he also distributed all the rewards given by Cao Cao to his subordinates, this feeling really moved the great writer Cao Pi, and couldn't help but admire:

"General Deyun of the country, fortunately, fortunately.

I don't know what else General Yun wants, as long as I say it, I, Cao Pi, will definitely support it with all my might. ”

Guan Ping smiled and said:

"Please follow me to fight!"

Anyway, it was a long trip, Guan Ping didn't worry about leaving Chen Qun behind, Chen Qun was also single, and nodded violently:

"Okay, I have long wanted to go out with General Yun, not only to make meritorious contributions to the lintel, but also to let everyone in the world know that I Chen Qun and General Yun have no entanglement."

The two smiled tacitly, and Cao Pi finally breathed a sigh of relief and agreed to the plan.

"Hanzhong is far away, there are many things that I don't have time to report to the prime minister and the prince, if there is anything that violates the laws of the imperial court, please ask the prince to take care of it for me."

"What's so hard about that?" Cao Pi smiled kindly, "I'll go up and ask the Son of Heaven to take a holiday, and when Hanzhong is attacked, everything will be handed over to Tan Zhi's dispatch."

Tanzhi's order is my order, and if anyone disobeys, I will not forgive. ”

His gaze swept over Chen Qun's body, and he quickly added:

"Everyone!"

Cao Pi's identity as a lieutenant general is already quite prominent, and with him as a guarantor for Guan Ping, Guan Ping can let go of things in Hanzhong.

In this western expedition, he took away the current main water army of the Cao army, with Cai Mao controlling Nanyang, Ma Liang controlling Xiangyang, and he later controlling Hanzhong, Hanshui can be all in his hands.

Hanzhong is surrounded by mountains, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, Guan Ping can finally get rid of the identity of Lejin's deputy general.

Zhang Tianshi gave his brother a face, and he will be grateful in the future.
