In Hedong, Hongnong rebelled at the same time, and the only large army in Guanzhong was now assisting Lu Yan in Bingzhou.
Cao Cao has a headache, mainly because he really can't spare any troops now.
The army led by Xia Houyuan and others needed to assist Cao Cao in stabilizing the situation in Wei County and other places.
Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan and Chen Deng were in Digesting Yangping County.
Cao Ren, Le Jin, and Zhang Yan guarded Zhongshan County and faced off against Yuan Tan. They had already taken Xu Huang and 20,000 infantry away, and they must not be able to move anymore now.
Qinghe County, Changshan County and other places had just been pacified, and the army needed to cooperate with the newly appointed officials to implement the New Deal and suppress local wealthy families and opposition forces. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also sent to these places to perform tasks.
Therefore, it is true that Lao Cao cannot spare any extra troops.
Although there will always be crowding, the lessons of Hedong are right in front of you, which makes Cao Cao even more afraid to deploy troops easily... In the end, the important task of pacifying Hedong can only fall on Lu Yan and Zhong Yao.
It was on the army all the way.
"From Mr. Lu Da's diary records, I think we are about to capture Shangdang County now. After Shangdang captures it, half of Bingzhou is in hand, and the remaining counties in the north are not in a hurry..."
Thinking of this, Cao Cao picked up his pen and started writing a letter.
After finishing it in one go, Cao Cao handed the letter to Xi Zhicai and said: "Zhicai, go and have the letter sent to Mr. Lu as soon as possible."
"Sir?" Xi Zhicai was a little surprised at first. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Lu Yan was the only one who could put down the Hedong rebellion.
"Here, I'll go now!" Xi Zhicai no longer hesitated, accepted the promise, and turned around to leave.
"Gongda, you go contact the aristocratic families from all over Jizhou who are willing to join us, and tell them that I, Cao Cao, want to entertain them!"
Xun You's eyes flashed, and he thought to himself: "Is this an ordinary banquet, or the Hongmen Banquet?"
Although he was guessing Lao Cao's intention in his heart, Xun You didn't hesitate at all and said: "I accept the order!"
...
At this moment, Lu Yan was preparing to tentatively attack Huguan County. However, before the attack posture was ready, Cao Cao's urgent military order arrived.
Lu Yan took the letter from the messenger and went to the hiding place alone to watch.
At first glance, Lu Yan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, "Hedong rebelled again, and this time they brought Hongnong with them! It's endless, isn't it?!"
Most of Shangdang County has basically been swept away by Pang De, Zhang Xiu and Lu Lingqi's cavalry.
But now it seems that their previous sweeps were not very clean... "We must not be merciful at all when dealing with these aristocratic families!"
Now there is only one Huguan city left that has not yet been conquered, but these Bingzhou troops have become alone, and it will only be a matter of time before the city is broken.
It's just that Lu Yan has no time now. If Hedong County is completely occupied by the rebel forces, they may come to Bingzhou next.
If the high-ranking cadre unites with this group of rebels, once he returns to Bingzhou, the gentry and gentry in Bingzhou will definitely respond from all directions, and Lu Yan and others may have to struggle to deal with rebellions everywhere.
"No, we must send troops as soon as possible to quell the rebellion in Hedong County. The counties that have been occupied by Shangdang and others must be cleaned up again..."
Thinking of this, Lu Yan immediately called off the tentative siege and issued a military order to summon all the generals to discuss sending troops to Hedong.
Lu Lingqi and other generals filed into the Chinese army's tent.
Lu Yan was sitting on the main seat, with a serious expression on his face.
After entering the tent, Lu Lingqi went straight to Lu Yan and asked softly: "Sir, what happened?"
Lu Yan nodded and said, "We'll talk about it together when everyone comes together."
Half an hour later, all the generals arrived.
Lu Yan looked around at the generals in the tent, and finally looked at Sili Colonel Zhong Yao, and said: "I have some bad news to tell you..."
When Zhong Yao saw Lu Yan looking at him, his heart suddenly thumped and he thought to himself: "No way..."
When everyone heard the bad news, their breathing slowed down.
"Hedong, Hongnong, rebelled!"
"Sure enough!" Zhong Yao's ominous premonition came true.
"Wow!!!"
Lu Yan's words caused an uproar among everyone.
"Hedong County is rebelling again!"
"Even Hongnong turned against him!"
"If these two counties are captured by the rebels, won't our retreat be cut off?"
"No, we have to recapture Hedong immediately! General Lu Qiaoqi asked for orders to recapture Hedong!"
...
Lu Yan raised his right hand, and everyone fell silent instantly.
Lu Yan continued: "Hedong officials Wei Gu and Fan Xian colluded with the Black Mountain Army led by Zhang Baiqi to rebel. It's actually okay... But what worries me most is, will the high official also be in Hedong County?"
Lu Yan's words made Zhong Yao's expression change. He hurriedly stepped out and said, "We can't rule out the possibility! When Gao Gan leaves Bingzhou to look for reinforcements, the most likely place to go is Hedong County! If Gao Gan and Hedong County are
If the rebels unite, not only Hedong and Hongnong, but even Bingzhou will be in danger!"
At this time, Lu Lingqi suddenly said: "There are Xianbei, Xiongnu and other foreign tribes in the northern part of Bingzhou. It is the end of October and the weather is getting colder. We need to beware of foreign tribes sending troops to plunder Bingzhou."
Lu Lingqi's reminder was timely, but now Lu Yan not only had to attack Huguan, but also sent troops to attack the Hedong rebels. His troops were already stretched thin, and he had no time to find trouble with the foreign tribes.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yan said to his generals: "The most important thing right now is to capture Huguan City, and then quickly deploy defenses in Shangdang County to prevent foreign raids." As for counties further north, such as Taiyuan, Lu Yanzhen
It's because I'm powerless...
Lu Lingqi knew Lu Yan's difficulties, and of course she would not object. She just sighed in her heart: "It's just that it will hurt the people in Taiyuan and other places..."
Lu Yan glanced at everyone, his eyes finally rested on Xu Huang, and shouted: "Xu Huang!"
"General, please obey the order!" Xu Huang walked out of the queue and responded with clasped fists.
"I ask you to conquer Huguan County within three days. Is it possible to do it?"
Breaking Hu Pass in three days... is really difficult.
However, Xu Huang accepted Lu Yan's military order without hesitation and issued a military order: "If Huguan City cannot be conquered within three days, the general will be willing to be punished by military law!"
Xu Huang's words were so powerful that Lu Yan was also infected by his pride and said loudly: "Okay! Today you will start to attack the city with all your strength, and I will also transfer Han Sheng from Huguankou to help you!
"
"The last general takes command!" Huang Zhong is as powerful a general as Zhao Yun. With him joining, Xu Huang's confidence becomes even greater.
"You go ahead and prepare. It's up to you to decide when to start attacking the city."
"Here! I'll take my leave first!" Xu Huang turned around and left the tent with his majestic body.
Lu Yan looked at Pang De and Zhang Xiu again and said: "Lu Lingqi, Pang De, Zhang Xiu!"
"The general is here!" Lu Lingqi, Pang De and Zhang Xiu all came out and saluted with clasped fists.
"Let the three of you lead the cavalry to wipe out all the stubborn resistance forces in Shangdang County and southern Bingzhou. They must be wiped out when Huguan City is broken!"
"The last general takes command!"
Lu Lingqi understood the meaning of the word "clearance" in Lu Yan's words, but Pang De and Zhang Xiu were still a little confused.
But now is not the time to ask questions. You can also ask Lu Lingqi for advice when the mission comes.
