Chapter Seventy-One: Cao Cao besieges Wei and rescues Zhao
Chapter 71: Cao Cao besieged Wei and rescued Zhao
Gan Ning led 90,000 horses on the way to Chaisang, and a soldier on a fast horse came from behind and shouted: Where is General Gan?
Gan Ning heard someone call him, flicked the reins of his horse, Gan Ning stood in place and waited, and saw a soldier on horseback coming to him.
Gan Ning immediately jumped off the horse, took out a piece of paper from his cuffs, and said: General Gan, the lord has a letter to you!
Gan Ning took the letter, opened it, and said in his heart, to march quickly and attack Chaisang, Zhu Heng rushed to Chaisang with 20,000 troops, and it was important to take Chaisang before Zhu Heng arrived, and then do not set up the flag of Jingzhou. Quickly clean up the battlefield, let Zhu Heng enter the city, and capture Zhu Heng! Then attack Huiji and take the capital of Jianye!
After reading the letter, Gan Ning put the letter away and said to the messenger: You go back and resume your life, I will definitely complete the task of the lord!
After the messenger left, Gan Ning shouted: The whole army obeys the order, marches quickly, and rushes to Chaisang!
Zhu Heng was also marching fast with 20,000 horses, running desperately, running for more than 100 miles in one breath, some of the soldiers were tired and fell behind, and the deputy general also said, General Zhu, let's rest, all the soldiers have fallen behind. If they continue to run like this, even if they arrive, they won't have the energy to defend the city!
Zhu Heng looked at all the soldiers, their faces were covered with sweat, they were exhausted, and some of them fell to the ground while running. It seems that the physical exhaustion is too serious.
Zhu Heng was on the horse and ordered: The whole army should stop marching, rest in place for half an hour, and eat.
At this order, the whole army fell to the ground like cotton candy.
Gan Ning had already run hundreds of miles, and he was as tired as Zhu Heng's army, but none of Gan Ning's army was left behind. Gan Ning is well-trained in peacetime, and the military quality of the whole army is a little better than Zhu Heng's defenders in terms of physical strength and endurance.
Gan Ning also knew in his heart that the physical strength of the soldiers in the whole army was almost the same. And the captured 20,000 land and water troops obviously have a physical strength gap, and Gan Ning also ordered the whole army to rest!
Gan Ning shouted loudly: Our army is still a hundred miles away from Chaisang, and after resting, we ran to the city of Chaisang in one go. A surprise for the Chaisan defenders!
After Zhu Heng's army rested, the whole army marched listlessly, and the soldiers who had not run thirty miles were left behind, Zhu Heng looked at it and ordered to rest!
Gan Ning dismounted and said: Everyone still doesn't know the endurance of my Jingchu Special Army. Zhao Yun's special forces, everyone wore black iron armor, and each leg was tied with a ten-pound sandbag, so that they could run for a day and a night, and it was all mountain roads, and we didn't have any weight, and we couldn't run for three hours.
Why, is it because the soldiers I led are all bad breeds, are the soldiers I Ganning led all inferior soldiers who have no stamina, I don't believe that you are all inferior soldiers, and I will dismount in the next hundred miles and run to Chaisan on foot with heavy soldiers.
When the soldiers heard Gan Ning say, they personally dismounted and ran with them, and the soldiers suddenly had a spiritual head, and some said that we are no worse than the endurance of the special army (Gan Ning knew in his heart that the endurance of the special army was something they could not compare, and the special forces were all selected, and they were all elites with good endurance and good martial arts, and everyone could take charge of themselves, but after hearing the soldiers say this, he Gan Ning was also happy in his heart)
Gan Ning ordered: The whole army began to run and march, the first Gan Ning ran forward, and the 90,000 horses behind followed Gan Ning all the way, running out of thirty miles, some soldiers could not keep up with the physical strength, Gan Ning shouted: We are coming, everyone hold on, you remember, you are my Jingzhou soldiers, my Gan Ning's brother, don't embarrass me!
When the soldiers heard Gan Ning's words, they sped up again, and everyone shouted in unison, kill, kill, kill!!!!
Gan Ning's army felt under Chaisang City that night, Gan Ning's clothes were soaked with sweat, and the soldiers of the whole army were the same, when they arrived at the city of Chaisang, Gan Ning looked at the soldiers of the whole army, and then laughed, and the soldiers of the whole army looked at Gan Ning and laughed.
Gan Ning is so good: the whole army is encamped, have a good rest tonight, and early tomorrow morning, the whole army will attack the city.
Zhu Heng's army is still halfway there, one will run, the other will rest, and the rest time is getting longer and longer, and the marching time is getting shorter and shorter!
Li Zhe and Zhuge Liang were playing chess with a lamp in the camp. (Chess has become a compulsory course in Jing Chucai Academy, and chess has become a game played by the wise)
Li Zhe said: Kong Ming be careful, general.
Kong Ming looked at it and said, General
Li Zhedao: The next general will draw the car!
At this time, the messenger outside the door came back and said: Lord, my subordinates have handed over the letter to General Gan, and General Gan asked me to tell the lord to rest assured that he will definitely complete the task.
Li Zhe said, it's hard work, go down and rest!
Li Zhe said to Zhuge Liang: Kong Ming, look, now Jiangdong is victorious!
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: Congratulations to the lord for defeating Jiangdong again, in the future, we can retreat and defend, and we can attack!
After Yuan Shao's army was defeated, he led Yan Liangwen back to Jizhou. The Jizhou garrison had 50,000. can protect Yuan Shao for a while.
Yuan Shao has been resting for a few days since he returned to Jizhou, but his spirit has not eased!
On this day, Yuan Shao was basking in the sun in the courtyard by himself, and the guard reported: Xu Yu asked to see!
Yuan Shao said: Please come in!
After Xu You entered the courtyard, he saw Yuan Shao on the chair with his eyes closed!
Xu You said: The lord is so leisurely, did he already know one step ahead of me!
Yuan Shao closed his eyes and said: What do you know!
Xu You smiled and said: The lord knows, Jingzhou Li Zhe has a letter for you!
When Yuan Shao heard the news, he immediately opened his eyes and saw Xu Yu holding the letter.
After Yuan Shao took the letter, he opened it and looked at it, with a smile on his face!
Said: Xu You, you see, Jingzhou Li Zhe said that if we need help, he Li Zhe will never shirk, and said that if our army is besieged by Cao Cao, the direction of Jingzhou is the best place for us to break through!
I really underestimated Li Zhe at the beginning! Yuan Shao sighed and said this!
Cao Cao had returned to Xuchang, and the spies reported: Jingzhou, Xu Shu led 100,000 horses to attack Yuzhou, while Li Zhe and Zhuge Liang led 100,000 horses to attack Jiangdong, and Gan Ning led 80,000 naval troops to attack Lukou.
Lu Bushuai attacked Yuzhou with 40,000 horses, and arrived at the city of Ruyang at the same time as Xu Shu, and the two armies did not move!
Cao Cao's eyes were green, and he thought to himself, Li Zhe, Li Zhe, taking advantage of my unpreparedness, actually sent troops to attack Jiangdong and Yuzhou to consolidate his power, my great enemy was Yuan Shao before, and it seems that now my great enemy is you Li Zhe!
You Li Zhe don't want to take Jiangdong steadily.
Cao Cao was discussing in the main hall and ordered: Cao Ren, Yu Ban ordered the two of you to lead 100,000 troops to attack Jingzhou, and also learn from the ancients, encircle Wei and save Zhao once!
After Cao Ren and Yu Ban agreed to the promise, they went down to the palace to reorganize the army, and left the city when the grain and grass were ready. Straight from Xuchang to Nanyang County!
