Among the generals under Sun Jian's tent, Cheng Pu was the oldest and most respected, including Sun Jian, who called him "Engong Cheng" rather than calling him by his first name. Bu Chengpu is not from Jiangdong, he is from Youbeiping County, Youbeiping County belongs to Youzhou, Yuyang County to the west, and Liaoxi County to the east. It can be said to be the northernmost territory of the Han family, namely Ji County and Zun County in later generations In the Hua area, because of its remote location and lack of literary style, there are not many local celebrities and celebrities. However, because of its location in the frontier, it borders with Hu Mu in the north, and wars are frequent, so let’s not talk about it, only the former Han Today, there are quite a few famous generals who have successively guarded this place. For example, Li Guang, the famous "flying general" of the Han Dynasty, once served as the prefect of Youbeiping County. The legendary Li Guang's shooting of the stone probably happened. in the right Beiping.

However, Cheng Pu, a native of the northern Xinjiang, came under the tent of the Jiang Zuo ferocious tiger Sun Jian as a general?

It is also simple to say. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cheng Pu was the state official of Youzhou Prefecture. He accompanied the troops of Youzhou and traveled thousands of miles south to Yuzhou and Jingzhou to participate in the suppression of the rebellion. It just so happened that Sun Jian was replaced by Zhu Jun, one of the main generals of the Han army, and was also involved in the suppression of the rebellion. It was a coincidence that the two met, and they were actually congenial, and Cheng Pu was thrown into Sun Jian's tent.

Since then, Cheng Pu has left his hometown, brought his Youzhou Jianer, and followed Sun Jian to fight. Until now, he first broke the Yellow Turban, then fought against Dong Zhuo, and fought for Yuzhou. In the past ten years, he has been involved in every battle with Sun Jian. .

First, he has rich experience in warfare, and for a long time, he has been an important general under Sun Jian's account. Second, he had the experience of serving as a state and county official in his early years. Therefore, his vision and knowledge are stronger than Zu Mao's. much more.

Hearing Sun Jian's decision not to rush to Dingling to find Lu Bu's main force for a decisive battle, but to save Yanxian, Zu Mao did not understand what he meant, but Cheng Pu quickly understood. Walking to the map hanging on the tent wall, Cheng Pu stroked his beard, looked at it for a while, then turned his head and said in Mandarin with a Youzhou accent, "Ming Gong, instead of going to Dingling, save Yan. County, is it for the sake of leisure?"

Lv Bu's main force is still in Dingling, which is good, but Dingling has now been acquired by Lv Bu. If they rushed to Dingling, Lv Bu's troops would have been brave and good at fighting, but now they have the city of Dingling as their guard, and the battle is going on. Sun Jian's troops would inevitably be at a disadvantage, and would likely suffer defeat. Therefore, rather than rushing to Dingling to fight Lü Bu's main force, it is indeed better to rescue Yanxian first, so as to try to transfer Lü Bu's troops over. , In this way, the situation of offense and defense is easy, and the one with the advantage on the battlefield is Sun Jian's troops.

Sun Jian smiled and said, "The one who knows me is Duke Cheng!" After a pause, he continued, "Engong Cheng is right, I just want to wait for work, but this is just one of the reasons why I saved Yanxian and didn't settle down on the Mausoleum. , and there is another reason.”

Cheng Pu looked at the map again, thought for a while, guessed another reason, and said: "Yes, Yan County is surrounded by rivers on three sides, only the west side can be used as a battlefield, and the north and south are only forty miles wide. The most elite are the Bing and Liang iron cavalry. The forty-mile-wide battlefield is not conducive to their cavalry galloping, but it is beneficial to my infantry to fight in formation! Duke Ming, this must be another reason for saving Yan County!"

Sun Jian smiled at Gu Zumao and said, "Do you know why I didn't settle down on Dingling?"

Zu Mao was so impressed that he fell to the ground, and said, "Ming Gong's magic tricks, Mao is not as good!"

Sun Jian then ordered: "Send more scouts, inspect the enemy situation in Yan County, inspect Dingling from afar, and send orders to the three armies to rest here for a day, and march tomorrow!"

Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zu Mao, etc. will awe-inspiringly agree.

Han Dang asked: "Duke Ming, the Zhaoling where our army is currently stationed is located in the northeast of Yan County. From here to Yan County, there are two waters in front of it. After attacking Yan County, dare to ask Ming Duke, the specific battle. What is the law? Please publicize it clearly, so that the commander can wait early to prepare."

The north of Yanxian is the Shushui, and the south is the Lishui. The two rivers converge in the east of Yanxian and then flow to the southwest. Lishui is the Rushui.

From the topographical point of view, if you go from Zhaoling to Yanxian, if you go from the east, you will face the river section where the Shushui and Lishui converge. If you go from the north, you will be blocked by the Shushui. Lishui blocks the road, in other words, the three directions of north, east, and south all need to cross the river, only the west does not need to cross the river, but if you want to detour from the west, you must first cross the Lishui and Lishui.

All in all, if you want to go outside the city of Yan County, crossing the river is essential, you just need to choose which river to cross.

Both the Shushui and the Lishui are not very wide. Speaking of it, it is not difficult to cross the river. It is only in the west of Yanxian City, where the troops of Wei and Yue are currently stationed. Then the problem arises. Wei Yue is neither blind nor deaf. Once Sun Jian's troops start to cross the river, whether it crosses the Shushui in the north, Lishui in the south, or the river in the east, Wei Yue will definitely know immediately, and he will definitely send troops to intercept it. , No matter how easy it is to cross the river, it will become a problem of "how to cross it smoothly".

That's why Han asked this question.

Since Sun Jian had decided to save Yan County first, he naturally had a plan in his mind.

He also walked to the map, stood next to Cheng Pu, stretched out his finger, and flicked the east of Yanxian County, and said, "The day after tomorrow, we will advance to the east of Yanxian County, and I will lead the main force and pretend to cross the river from here, ... "..." Calling Zumao's words, he flicked his finger on the Lishui River in the south of Xiayan County, and said, "Darong, I will give you a hundred soldiers. After night, you can quietly cross the river here! After crossing the river, first Don't disturb Wei Yue's troops, look for the ground to ambush. Wait until the next day, I will cross the river in a big way, when Wei Yue comes to stop me, you will come out and attack! , it is easy to win with your things!" Xuanshu Literature Network

Zu Mao responded loudly: "Yes!"

Lu Bu is a formidable enemy. If Lu Bu was in Yan County, the outcome of this battle might not be easy to say. But now outside Yan County is Wei Yue. Although he has a reputation for bravery, he has no wisdom. He is nothing more than a brave man. Just a reckless general, where would it be in Sun Jian's eyes? With a little calculation, it is expected that the victory of the battle of Yanxian will be achieved.

The subsequent development of the war was not the same as Sun Jian expected, but the result was as he expected.

After a day of rest in Zhaoling, the spirit of the troops was restored. Sun Jian personally followed the battalions and boosted their morale. The fighting spirit of Sun's officers and men was all high. In the afternoon of the next day, Sun Jian led the troops and pulled out the battalion. Eastward.

After traveling forty miles, at dusk, we arrived at the east of Yan County.

Wei Yue had already been rewarded, and he led several hundred cavalry to the west bank of the river ahead of schedule. He rode on his horse and tried his best to look at the situation of Sun Jian's troops on the other side. The more he looked, the more uncomfortable he felt. But seeing the dust on the other side, the heads of people, the flags like forests, the noise can be heard from the other side, the long queue, plus the carriages, the people, etc., pulled out for several miles, and looking at its posture, it was clear that it was Sun Jian's department. The main force is here!

Wei Yue unconsciously remembered that before he came to attack Yanxian, Lü Bu had spoken to his ears.

Lü Bu taught him at the time, saying that after arriving at Yan County, there is no need to rush to attack the city and wait for Sun Jian's reinforcements. Thousands of people, when they cross the river, Wei Yue can "hit them halfway across", thus winning a big victory.

Wei Yue obeyed Lv Bu's orders, and these days, he has been "honestly" waiting for "Sun Jian's other troops" to rescue Yan County, eagerly expecting to get a team that is not inferior to Zhang Liao's capture in just one day. Wuyang's military exploits were unexpected. The strong soldiers came, but they were not "Sun Jian's other troops", but the main force of Sun Jian's troops.

At present, the county seat of Yanxian has not yet been captured, and there are only a thousand soldiers and horses.

Rao was Wei Yue's bravery, and he couldn't help but beat drums in his heart at this time.

A previous thought came to mind again.

He had also been worried before, what if Sun Jian's team came not from "other departments" but "main force"? There was no other way, he could only give up Yan County, retreat to Dingling, join up with Lu Bu, and then in Dingling County, fight against Sun Jian's troops decisively.

Wei Yue hesitated and said: "The strong soldiers who are coming in front of you must be the main force of Sun Wentai. I am not his opponent with a thousand people. Forget it, I will abandon Yanxian and withdraw Dingling!"

However, seeing Sun Jian's troops on the other side, they didn't intend to cross the river immediately. Instead, they picked a piece of flat land several miles away from the shore and started to build their camp. He moved in his heart and thought, "The boats on both sides of the river have already been taken by me. Burned to the sky, it is spring, and the rain is continuous. Although the river is not very wide, it is quite deep now, and it is impossible to cross it without a boat, and now it is late at night, and it will soon fall into the night. There is no boat at night, and it is impossible to cross it. , I think the strong soldiers should see that they can't cross the river for the time being, so they plan to rest overnight on the other side, and plan to make a forced crossing tomorrow. But I don't need to rush to withdraw~www.wuxiaspot.com~Wei Yue is unwilling to withdraw immediately , for no other reason, these days he has been besieging Yanxian County. Although the city of Yanxian County has not been captured, the surrounding villages have been plundered by his troops and horses, and he has indeed snatched a lot of wealth. These wealth, He was reluctant to leave it behind. Seeing that Sun Jian's troops seemed to have no intention of crossing the river today, he thought about it, and just took this opportunity to pack up the goods and take them away with the army.

Although wealth was important, in the end Sun Jian's main force was on the other side, the pressure was great, and the time was urgent, so he had to race against time.

Wei Yue did what he thought.

He left behind more than a hundred cavalry soldiers to monitor the movements of Sun Ce's troops on the other side, and with the remaining soldiers, he rushed back to the camp, urging his cronies to quickly load the plundered goods and goods, and at the same time he was vigilant. , and dispatched more than ten cavalry troops, and set up a guard outside the city of Yanxian, in case the city saw reinforcements coming, and went out of the city to attack.

After issuing these two orders, Wei Yue did not forget to send military officials to Dingling to report the news to Lu Bu.
