Three Kingdoms: Beginning To Replace Liu Bei And Marry The Mi Family

Fuyang City.

Liu Wu is in a very good mood.

There was news from Jingzhou that Jiaozhou had returned to the Han Dynasty.

After Liu Wu ascended the throne, he sent Lu Xun to lead his army south from Jingzhou to pacify Jiaozhou.

Lu Xun used his troops like a god. After crossing the south of the Five Ridges, he fought and won victoriously all the way, and finally captured the Zhilongbian City of Jiaozhou Prefecture ten days ago.

Jiaozhou, one of the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, was finally reintroduced into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

"Lu Boyan has done a great job."

"Pass down the decree, Lu Xun will be named Tinghou, and the town will be increased by 1,500 households."

Liu Wu was overjoyed.

Jiaozhou was pacified, and Guo Jia and other advisers and generals were all excited about it.

"His Majesty."

"Ji County has sent back news that Ma Teng has sent Ma Chao to Liangzhou, I don't know what to do.

Cao Ren said again.

Guo Jia sneered and said: "Ma Teng, old dog, he sent his son to Liangzhou, and wanted to transfer the army there to help in the war.

Zhao Yundao: "Your Majesty, there are still tens of thousands of iron cavalry in Liangzhou, if they can really be transferred, it will be quite troublesome."

Liu Wu nodded slightly.

Guo Jia cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think that before Liangzhou's reinforcements arrive, we should immediately attack and conquer the counties in Longxi!"

In Liu Wu's eyes, murderous intent had gathered.

He jumped to his feet, and said sharply: "Decree, the army will go south, capture Jicheng, and destroy Ma Teng!"

One hundred thousand Han troops immediately went south, from Fuyang City to Ji County.

Faced with the attack of the Han army, Ma Teng had to abandon all the cities in the north of Jixian County, shrink all the soldiers and horses to the south bank of the Weihe River, and set up camps on the two wings of the city to resist the Han army's attack.

Two days later.

The Han army advanced to the north bank of the Weishui River and confronted the Xiliang army on the south bank.

Ma Teng had nowhere to go and was determined to stick to Ji County.

Ma Teng knew that he had nowhere to escape.

Jicheng is the most affluent city in Longxi. Once this city is lost, the whole of Longxi will also be lost.

Even if he fled to Liangzhou, Liu Wu would not let him go, and would still lead his army to pursue Liangzhou.

However, Liangzhou has few people and is a small place, so there is no way to compete with Liu Wu.

Therefore, he must stick to Longxi.

But if you stick to Longxi, you must guard Ji County.

But Ma Teng still had high hopes for his son Ma Chao, hoping that his son could persuade the generals in Liangzhou to send troops to Longxi to help in the battle.

At that time, Liangzhou's reinforcements came from the north to the south, and he attacked from the south, and he attacked from the north and the south, and he was able to repel Liu Wu.

Liu Wu naturally knew Ma Teng's intentions.

While attacking Ji County, he had sent Xia Houyuan to lead more than 10,000 Han troops northward to guard against reinforcements from Xiliang in Liangzhou.

Liu Wu had already calculated that even if Ma Chao could invite reinforcements from Liangzhou, there would be no more than 20,000 troops.

With 20,000 horses, Xia Houyuan's strength is enough to stop them.

Without worrying about the future, Liu Wu's attention was all aimed at Ji County in the south.

It is obviously unrealistic for the Xiliang army to gather on the south bank and forcefully cross the Weihe River to attack Ji County.

Therefore, Liu Wu used Guo Jia's strategy to adjust the direction of attack to the east.

Liu Wu asked Cao Ren to confront Ma Teng on the north bank in his name.

Liu Wu himself led the main force, crossed the Wei River from the east, and captured Yi County from Youcheng.

Ma Teng also expected Liu Wu to use troops in this way after being reminded by Fazheng.

But his troops were limited, and he knew Liu Wu was going to attack sideways, but he couldn't send troops to the east to prevent Liu Wu from crossing the river.

Liu Wu's army crossed the river, and 70,000 soldiers approached Ji County along the river bank.

He was not in a hurry to attack, but only moved forward steadily, compressing Ma Teng's defense.

ten days later.

Liu Wu's army came to Ji County and surrounded the whole city like an iron barrel.

Liu Wu did not surround the city to death, but left a hole in the east of the city.

The purpose of doing this is naturally to give the Xiliang army in the city a hope of escape.

As long as they are not determined to fight to the death, it is not difficult to capture Jicheng.

In the city.

Seeing the Han army approaching, Ma Teng became more and more anxious.

Finally, he couldn't sit still (ceeh).

It was day and night, so he had to send Li Kan to Liangzhou to ask Li Kan for help.

Li Kan ran wildly day and night, and finally rushed to Jincheng, where Wuwei was ruled.

Jincheng is also the seat of the state government of Liangzhou.

Before the Han army encircled Ji County, Ma Chao had already arrived in Jincheng.

Yan Xing and other Liangzhou generals immediately accepted Ma Chao.

After Ma Chao entered the city, he explained to them Liu Wu's determination to unify Liangzhou with Yan Xing and others, and asked them to lead the Liangzhou army and do their best to help the Ma family.

After weighing the pros and cons, Yan Xing and others immediately expressed their willingness to help the Ma family and obey Ma Chao's orders.

Without any effort, Ma Chao obtained the right to mobilize 20,000 Liangzhou troops.

Afterwards, Ma Chao learned that Liu Wu had led a large army to encircle Ji County.

At the same time, he also learned that Liu Wu sent Xia Houyuan to lead more than 10,000 troops north to Anding to prevent his Liangzhou reinforcements from going south.

Afraid of Xia Houyuan, Ma Chao didn't dare to lead his army south to rescue Ji County for a while.

It's day.

Ma Chao was negotiating with Yan Xing, but his personal guards came to report that Li Kan had fled from Ji County and came to see him.

Ma Chao frowned.

He immediately guessed that Li Kan must have been ordered by his father to come to Jincheng to urge him to send troops to rescue Ji County.

"Call Li Kan in."

Ma Chao ordered reluctantly.

Not long.

Li Kan hurried in and worshiped at the bottom of the steps.

"Li Kan, you're not in Longxi, why did you come here?"

Ma Chao pretended to be surprised.

Li Kan hurriedly said: "My lord, the last general was ordered by the great Sima to ask you to speed up the Liangzhou reinforcements and go south to save Ji County."

Ma Chao was surprised.

Li Kan then told Ma Chao about the critical situation in Ji County.

"Liu Wu's army is besieging the city, and Ji County is in turmoil. If the eldest son does not lead the army to rescue, the eldest Sima and the soldiers and people in the city will all die."

Li Kan cried.

Ma Chao's face changed, and he immediately wanted to lead his army south.

But at this time, Yan Xing shook his head repeatedly at him, implying that he should not be impulsive.

Ma Chao rolled his eyes, but sighed: "Of course I am eager to lead the army to rescue immediately, but I have only returned to Liangzhou now, and I have not yet persuaded the Liangzhou defenders to follow me south."

With a bitter face, Yang Fu besieged Jicheng and spit at Cao Pi in a critical situation.

Li Kan panicked and quickly asked, "Then what should I do?"

Ma Chao pretended to think for a moment, and Fang said: "General Li, you can rest in Jincheng for a while, I will tell you, persuade them to follow me to save Ji County as soon as possible!"

Li Kan had no choice but to follow Ma Chao's arrangement.

At that moment, Ma Chao sent someone to send Li Kan to rest.

As soon as he walked on the front foot, Yan Xing said on the back foot: "My lord, if you go to save Ji County, you will die, you must not go!".
