Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu
Chapter 562: Jian Yong persuades Hua Xiong
"The Marquis of Jin secretly ordered the army to cut off the water flow. A flood caused the Jizhou army in Dangyin City to lose all. The Marquis of Ye led more than a thousand people to flee back to Jizhou."
Liu Bei sighed and said: "There are so many counselors under the command of Marquis Ye, but I didn't expect that they were defeated by the plan."
Chen Deng's expression changed slightly. At this time, the Jizhou army was defeated. If the Marquis of Jin went to Jizhou and took the opportunity to capture Jizhou, it would become even more terrifying.
Cao's army only had 50,000 men, so it was impossible to besiege the city. More than a hundred cavalry escorted Jian Yong out of Pengcheng.
Cao Cao also wanted to capture Xuzhou quickly. However, after the previous war, the soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou were in a state of resistance against Cao's army. Liu Bei had been in Xuzhou for some time. Under a strong attack, the army would definitely suffer heavy losses. Yanzhou seemed very strong.
, but this is not the case. When attacking Yuan Shu, although they followed the example of Bingzhou and used locusts as food, the consumption of the army was too great. Xuzhou also suffered a locust plague, and there was not much food and grass in various places.
It was about to enter winter at this time, and the locusts gradually dispersed, but Yanzhou and Yuzhou were the most severely affected areas. Although the locusts receded, this year was desolate. Food and grass were always a huge problem. After conquering Xuzhou, Cao Jun
With the source of food and grass, Xuzhou is prosperous and has sufficient food and grass. This disaster did not affect Xuzhou.
Cao Cao is waiting. He wants to wait for Liu Ye to build a thunder chariot before attacking Xuzhou. With the pressure of the thunder chariot, Pengcheng can be easily captured. Jiguan is so dangerous, and it is not under the thunder chariot and occupied by the Bingzhou army.
, compared to Jiguan, Pengcheng is easier to break. Besides, Yanzhou is not stable. Hua Xiong is in Yuzhou. Judging from Hua Xiong's past behavior, he is a profit-seeking person. Although Yuzhou suffered disasters, Cao Cao was
He would not give up, and the Jingzhou army was dragged by Sun Ce on the battlefield in Jiangxia, which was fine.
"Lord, the spies came with news that the Marquis of Jin cut off the water flow outside Dangyin City, and the water flooded Dangyin. The Jizhou army suffered heavy casualties, and only a thousand people escaped. Zhang Yan also raised troops to invade Jizhou." Xi Ce's face was as pale as paper.
, coughing violently.
"I didn't expect that Yuan Benchu would suffer such a defeat. If he cannot defeat the Black Mountain Army, Jizhou will be in danger." Cao Cao sighed.
The existence of Jizhou is also extremely important to Yanzhou. If there is no Jizhou to check it, Lu Bu can free up his hands to capture the land of Sili. Now, although Cao Ren led his troops to attack Henan Yin, it did not go as smoothly as expected.
After the prefect of Hongnong received the order from Liu Biao secretly, he defended the city. It was very difficult for Cao Ren to attack Hongnong in a short time. But at this time, the Jizhou army was defeated, and the defeat was so miserable.
After this battle, it would be difficult for Jizhou to recover in just a few years.
After all, it had happened once before, and Cao Cao was also worried that Lu Bu once again led his troops to help Xuzhou. After occupying Hedong, the Bingzhou army only needed to cross the Yellow River to attack Yanzhou. Although the two parties formed an alliance, who could guarantee that they would not fight for their own interests?
They will break up, the alliance is just a time of peace and stability, otherwise Cao Cao would not have allowed Cao Ren to attack Hedong with a large army.
"Don't worry, my lord. The Marquis of Jin helped Liu Bei to defend Xuzhou before, but there was a estrangement between the two because of the Mi family incident. The Marquis of Jin captured Hedong and defeated the Jizhou army. He also lost troops and generals. However, the lord ordered General Cao Ren to station troops in Henan.
Yin, I'm afraid it will cause the dissatisfaction of the Marquis of Jin." Xi Ce said.
"Zhicai, don't work too hard. Your health is the most important thing. Although the Bingzhou army is strong, the Yanzhou army is not easy to handle." Cao Cao saw that Xi Ce kept coughing and looked worried. There were many famous doctors in Yanzhou, but
Xi Ce's body was weak, so doctors could only prescribe some nourishing medicines.
"I have nothing to do." Xi Ce said with a cupped hand, but he felt unwilling to do so. At this time, Yanzhou was in need of talents, but his health was getting worse and worse. In these days, he was even stronger.
I'm still handling military affairs.
"My lord should send an envoy to Jingzhou." Xi Ce suggested again.
Cao Cao snorted coldly: "The Holy Lord is deeply concerned about Xuzhou and has sent two envoys to the army to make me retreat."
"The Holy One represents the Han Dynasty after all." Xi Ce said. Yanzhou was almost defeated by the Jingzhou army. How could Cao Cao be unprepared for Jingzhou? As for the crusade against Yuan Shu, it was just for greater interests. Otherwise
How could Cao Cao go? If it hadn't been for the Jingzhou army's attack on Yanzhou, Cao Cao wouldn't have been so concerned about Jingzhou.
After Xi Ce reported the military situation, Cao Cao went to Liu Ye's camp. He would ask about the Thunderbolt Chariot every day. This was related to whether the army could successfully capture Xuzhou. He wanted to do it when Xuzhou's troops were at their most relaxed.
, occupying Xuzhou in one fell swoop.
Let's say that after Jian Yong arrived at the Pei Kingdom, Hua Xiong treated him with courtesy. Now that he has become a general of the Han Dynasty and was named Tinghou by Liu Biao, he can naturally see that Liu Biao is trying to win over him. Yuan Shu also
An envoy was sent here, but Hua Xiong righteously refused, and he was deeply grateful for his original choice.
The locust plague that swept through Yuzhou also caused Hua Xiong to suffer a lot. Although Liu Biao only sent someone to send a small amount of food and grass, Hua Xiong was extremely grateful. After Hua Xiong learned of Cao Cao's approach, he secretly ordered his people to follow suit.
Not only did the army not starve, but during this locust plague, the number of soldiers and horses under its command increased to 20,000.
The locust plague displaced more people, but Hua Xiong was not worried. He selected young men from the affected people and incorporated them into the army.
He had also heard about Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou. He was quite afraid of Cao Cao. He was a ruthless man. Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses were so powerful at the beginning that he dared to lead his troops to pursue him. However, now that the war is going on, Hua
Xiong also had more thoughts. Although Yuzhou had no extraordinary dangers to defend, as long as he relied on Liu Biao, Yanzhou would not be able to do anything to him, and he would be able to get a higher position by then.
Liu Biao's secret order allowed him to see an opportunity. While waiting for Cao Cao and Liu Bei to fight to the death, he would lead his troops to attack Yuzhou. It would be best to seize Yuzhou from Cao Cao's hands in one fell swoop.
After seeing the ceremony, Jian Yong said directly: "Cao Cao has raised troops to invade Xuzhou and Yuzhou. Yanzhou is empty. The general has tens of thousands of elite men in his hands. Why not take advantage of the opportunity?"
Hua Xiong sneered and said: "Cao Cao has strong soldiers and horses, but my general's men are all old and weak. How can he win?"
"The general is a fierce general who is famous all over the world for his resourcefulness. Why is he caught in confusion at this time? Doesn't the general know the truth of death and coldness? If Xuzhou is defeated by Cao's army, the general will be in danger. On this occasion, Jiangdong invades Jiangxia. Your Majesty
How could Cao Jun sit back and watch the general stay in Yuzhou after he captured Xuzhou despite his weak intentions?" Jian Yong said.
