At the end of August of the first year of Han Yankang, Cao Renqin, the general of Wei Che Cai, led an army of 20,000 to Wudang County.

This time, in order to take Xicheng in one fell swoop, Cao Ren has brought all the mobile forces that can be mobilized in Nanyang County.

In the face of an opponent like Mi Yang, even if there was Meng Dali who should cooperate with the outside, Cao Ren did not dare to take it lightly.

When Cao Ren led the army to the county seat, Xiahou Shang immediately led a group of subordinates in Wudang County to meet his uncle.

Facing Xiahou Shang's visit, Cao Ren didn't have time to greet him, and the first thing he asked when he saw Xiahou Shang was:

"How is Boren connected to Zidu?"

Seeing Cao Ren inquiring about his recent contact with Meng Da, a smile appeared on Xiahou Shang's face.

He said to Cao Renyan, "Please rest assured, the general strategy has been negotiated with Zidu, and there will be no mistakes."

When Cao Ren did not lead the army to arrive before, Xiahou Shang was in charge of discussing with Meng Da the strategy of joint uprising in the coming days.

Xiahou Shang and Meng Da are both people who know the soldiers, and Meng Da is familiar with the terrain of Xicheng, so within a few days, the general strategy of entering the army has been discussed.

After Xiahou Shang finished speaking, he immediately took out a letter that had just been written and handed it to Cao Ren to read.

And Cao Ren showed a pleased smile on his face after reading the strategy for entering the army written by Xiahou Shang.

Cao Ren has been fighting for many years, and he has a lot of experience in leading troops, after reading it, he can naturally know that the strategy discussed by Xiahou Shang and Meng Da is generally very decent.

This made Cao Ren not only have confidence in his actions in the next few days, but also rejoiced in the talent of Xiahou Shang's son and nephew.

From this strategy for entering the army, it can be seen that Xiahou Shang is a piece of jade, and if it is polished over time, it will inevitably become an optimus prime of Cao Wei in the future.

Since there was no problem with the strategy discussed between Xiahou Shang and Meng Da, Cao Ren began to send troops with confidence.

This time, he not only brought 20,000 elite soldiers, but also brought most of the generals he had personally trained over the years.

And the full favor in the lobby looked at the generals in the entire hall, his face was full of joy that was bound to win, but somehow, he had a trace of doubt in his heart.

Man Chong's doubts were not because he saw that there was something wrong with Meng Da, but because his steady personality made him not trust anyone.

Cao Ren, who was sitting at the top, saw the look of doubt on Manzhong's face, and saw that Manzhong was still with a look of worry on his face when the army was about to set off, and his displeasure began to appear in his heart.

In the past, Cao Ren relied heavily on Man Chong, but now that the army is about to go on the march, there is a look of doubt on the face of Man Chong, which will undoubtedly affect the morale of the army to a certain extent.

So when Cao Ren sent troops and distributed tasks, he did not let the full favor lead the army to go out together.

He ordered Man Chong to lead some county soldiers and stay to garrison Wudang County.

When Cao Ren's order was issued, although Man Zhong was a little surprised, he still obediently accepted the order in the end.

And after the other generals learned that Man Favor was assigned the task of defending the city, they couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy in their hearts.

One less general goes out to fight together, and one less general shares the merits with them.

After assigning the tasks of the generals, Cao Ren said to the generals in the hall:

….

"This battle is the first battle of the dynasty, you must fight bravely to kill the enemy and make contributions to the emperor!"

"If any of the generals in this battle can reach the West City first, I will protect his position as a general.

If anyone can capture Mi Yang alive or behead him, in addition to the position of general, I will also keep his title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

After Cao Ren's encouraging words were finished, the faces of the generals in the hall all showed excitement.

They all stood up and bowed to Cao Ren and said, "The subordinates will live up to the general's expectations!"

Looking at the energetic appearance of the generals in the hall, Cao Ren couldn't help but stroke his beard and smile.

The military heart is available!

A few days later, the day of the event agreed between Xiahou Shang and Meng Da had arrived.

today

In the early morning, tens of thousands of troops outside Wudang County lined up on both sides of the official road outside the city.

And on the Han River next to Wudang County, thousands of warships, large and small, are docked.

Xicheng is in the upper reaches of Wudang County, and the most convenient way to attack Xicheng is to take a warship upstream.

At dawn, under Cao Ren's orders, tens of thousands of Wei troops began to board ships one after another.

The army inside and outside Wudang County originally had nearly 30,000 people, and this time Cao Ren brought another 20,000 troops.

In addition to leaving some county soldiers to defend the city, the total strength of Cao Ren's expedition this time reached nearly 50,000!

is worthy of being the general of the Great Wei Che Cavalry, which is really a big deal.

Cao Wei controls the richest area in the world, and for Cao Wei, what they lack is not people.

Not long after, Cao Pi personally recruited Sun Quan several times, and the total number of soldiers and horses used was about 100,000.

At the beginning of the confrontation between Han and Shui, the reason why Cao Cao led an army of 100,000 was a little overstretched was because the Wei army had been fighting for many years, and there was too much loss of grain, grass and people.

But after more than half a year of cultivation, especially when the autumn harvest in the northern land is imminent, Cao Ren's troops are much richer.

This is also the reason why Cao Cao repeatedly instructed Cao Ren and Cao Pi to focus on the development of internal affairs before his death.

Because if Cao Wei has time to recover, it won't take too long, just a few years.

Then Cao Wei's national strength will be qualitatively improved, so as to achieve the effect of crushing the enemy.

Cao Rengao stood on top of the ship, looking at the tens of thousands of energetic Wei troops who were constantly boarding the ship below, and his heart was full of pride.

If it is a head-to-head battle, with this army of nearly 50,000 alone, Cao Ren is not afraid of any general under Liu Bei, not to mention that he still has Meng Da now?

Cao Ren is full of confidence in this expedition.

After some time, the well-trained Wei troops, under the command of their respective generals, boarded the ships one after another.

After tens of thousands of Wei troops boarded the ships, Cao Ren gave the order for the whole army to go on the march.

After watching the thousands of warships on the Han River slowly move away, Man Chong, who was standing on the head of the city, bowed in the direction of the Wei army.

I hope that the general of the Che Cavalry will be able to capture Mi Yang smoothly this time.

...

Meng Da, who led the army to garrison the Hanshui military village, was nervously pacing back and forth in the big tent.

More than a month of careful planning, more than a month of enduring humiliation, for today.

If today's things come to pass, then all Meng Da's past efforts will not be in vain, and he will even get a great reward.

….

If today's events fail, Meng Da can't even think of that kind of consequence.

Until the last step, no one dares to assert that the game set by Mi Yang will definitely end perfectly.

It is precisely because of this concern that Meng Da, who is waiting, seems very anxious.

The anxious waiting time always passed slowly, and Meng Da did not know how long he waited in the military tent.

Then the curtain of his tent was pushed open by a pair of big hands, and then a majestic military general walked in.

This general's name is Feng Xi, the word Xiuyuan, and he is from Nanjun.

When Liu Bei entered Shu in the sixteenth year of Jian'an, Feng Xi led the army to follow Liu Bei into Shu.

During the Battle of Yiling in history, Feng Xi was appointed by Liu Bei as the forward general, and at that time, Wu generals Lu Xun, Li Yi, Liu A and other soldiers were stationed in Wuxian and Zigui.

Feng Xi and Wu Ban led their troops from Wuxian, defeated Li Yi and other Eastern Wu generals along the way, and finally advanced to Zigui.

Later, Liu Bei personally led the generals to march from Zigui to Yaoting, and led the army with Feng Xi as the leader, and confronted the Wu army led by Lu Xun.

Although there are not many records of Feng Xi in history, it can be seen from these two examples that Feng Xi is a brave and resourceful general.

Some time ago, Feng Xi, under the leadership of Fa Miao, entered Hanzhong County.

They had only one purpose, that is, to lead the army of Hanzhong to the east and accept the unified dispatch of Mi Yang.

Mi Yang wrote to Liu Bei before, hoping that Liu Bei would come

gave him the power to dispatch the Hanzhong army.

Perhaps most of the counties under Liu Bei's rule are now recuperating.

But as an important military base as Jingzhou, Hanzhong, Liu Bei left more than 30,000 troops there.

The more than 30,000 troops were the elite soldiers left behind after the Hanzhong War, and their combat effectiveness went without saying.

Moreover, Hanzhong County is on the adjacent side of Hanxing County, with the connection of Han River, and it is very convenient and fast for the army to go east.

And as long as it is properly arranged, there is a certain guarantee of secrecy.

After receiving Mi Yang's request, Liu Bei did not hesitate, he immediately wrote down a royal decree, and appointed Fa Miao as an envoy to Hanzhong County to announce his royal decree.

Originally, if Mi Yang wanted to mobilize the army of Hanzhong County, he could directly ask Hanzhong Taishou Wei Yan to cooperate in the battle.

However, the previous meeting outside Xicheng made Mi Yang worried, maybe Wei Yan would agree to the request to fight with him, but he would definitely not accept his leadership.

And as soon as the war began, there was no unified mobilization and command of the army, which was the way to death.

Therefore, Mi Yang directly crossed Wei Yan and asked Liu Bei for military power.

Liu Bei is a wise lord, although Mi Yang did not say it in the above book, he also knows what Mi Yang's concerns are.

Therefore, he not only sent Fa Miao as an envoy, but also sent Feng Xi, Zhang Nan and many other generals to Hanzhong to assist Mi Yang in controlling the 30,000 troops in Hanzhong.

Maybe Wei Yan's character is very unruly, but in the face of Liu Bei's royal order, he can only honestly hand over the military power in his hands.

The army in Hanzhong was not Wei Yan's private soldiers, so in front of Liu Bei's royal order, Feng Xi and the others quickly controlled the 30,000 army in Hanzhong.

A few days ago, they led an army of 30,000 and quickly went south to the outside of Xicheng to obey Mi Yang's dispatch.

And it wasn't until yesterday that Feng Xi, a few generals who had led troops all the way to reach outside Xicheng, didn't know what Mi Yang's specific plan was.

….

After knowing Mi Yang's specific plan, everyone sighed that Mi Yang had such a big plan, no wonder the king would support him so much.

When Feng Xi came to the military tent, he said to Meng Da, who had an anxious look on his face:

"The banner of the enemy's general Zhengxi has appeared."

When he heard the news, the anxious look on Meng Da's face instantly reached its strongest, but it quickly dissipated in the end.

Soon after, there was only a look of determination on his face.

The enemy has arrived, and it's time to close the net.

Meng Da bowed to Feng Xi and said, "The rest will be handed over to Xiu Yuan."

Feng Xi also returned the salute to Meng Da, and he admired Meng Da in front of him who did not hesitate to cut off his hair for Liu Bei's great cause.

Feng Xi said to Meng Dayan, "Zidu, go."

After receiving Feng Xi's promise, Meng Da lifted the sword on the sword stand, and then strode out of the military tent.

When he came to the tent, he immediately boarded a warship.

And behind him, a thousand soldiers were already on the ship.

Meng Da glanced at the thousand soldiers behind him, and then he ordered the gate of the water village to be opened.

He led a thousand soldiers behind him, and drove the warship under his feet towards the downstream quickly.

Not far downstream from the water village, Cao Ren had just arrived here with tens of thousands of troops.

After seeing that the Hanshui military village in front of him was not far away, Cao Ren ordered tens of thousands of Wei troops to slow down.

He was waiting for Meng Da to answer.

According to the previous strategy with Xiahou Shang and Meng Da, after his army arrived at the Hanshui military village, the banner of the general of Zhengxi would be erected.

The general of Zhengxi is the official position that Cao Pi awarded to Meng Da, and setting up the banner of General Zhengxi is the code agreed between Xiahou Shang and Meng Da.

Without letting Cao Ren wait too long, a team of hundreds of warships soon appeared in Cao Ren's sight.

And looking at the flag of General Zhengxi flying high in the fleet of hundreds of people, a smile appeared on the corner of Cao Ren's mouth.

Soon after, Meng Da led the way

A fleet of thousands of people came in front of the thousands of warships of the Wei army.

After the arrival of hundreds of warships led by Mengda, Mengda ordered the warships behind him to turn around.

In this way, Meng Da, who was originally in front of hundreds of warships, was instead wrapped in the middle by the warships of the two armies.

Cao Ren didn't know Meng Da before, but he had seen Meng Da's portrait before, and Meng Da's short hair was too conspicuous.

Cao Ren, who was standing tall on the boat, saw Meng Da's move, and the smile on his face became stronger and stronger.

Meng Da and his subordinates automatically gave their backs to themselves, which was a gesture of goodwill.

Then, under Meng Da's order, the hundreds of Mi warships that had turned their direction headed towards the water village in front of them.

Today's task for Meng Da is to act as a leading party and assist Cao Ren in taking down the various water villages on the Han River.

When the 100 Mi warships at the front marched towards Shuizhai, Cao Ren also ordered his army to follow the 100 warships in front.

So on the wide Han River, such a scene appeared.

Thousands of warships lined up in a row, following behind the hundreds of warships, like a black wave pressing towards the military fortress in front.

When Cao Ren's thousands of warships arrived at the water village, Cao Ren found that the gate of the water village that had been bothering him for a long time had long been opened.

Seeing this scene, Xiahou Shang, who was beside Cao Ren, said excitedly to Cao Ren:

"If there is no water village to stop it, what will Mi Yang do to resist the tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers of our army!"

Hearing Xiahou Shang's words, a smile also appeared on Cao Ren's face, and he nodded at Xiahou Shang.

Soon after, the 100 Mi warships, which were ahead of the thousands of Wei warships, were the first to sail into the undefended water village.

Seeing this, Cao Ren hurriedly ordered the thousands of warships behind him to speed up.

Cao Ren was worried that the gate of the water village that had blocked him in the past and prevented his army from entering would suddenly close.

At Cao Ren's urging, thousands of Wei warships sailed into the deserted water village.

But what Cao Ren didn't know was that the quiet and huge water village was like a big net slowly opening at this time.

This net will eat people.
