Yang He, the governor of the three sides, did not take it into consideration. This was what Sun Chuanting least considered. However, Sun Chuanting's suggestions alone are still very feasible.
Lou Daji discussed with Li Jiasheng and others, and decided to ask Cao Wenzhao about his attitude. As long as Cao Wenzhao also thinks it is feasible, then everyone will act according to the plan. If the court is accountable, everyone will shoulder the responsibility together. All the border army generals have
Even if the government takes responsibility, most of the time the court will turn a blind eye. This is called not taking responsibility for others.
In Xianyang, Cao Wenzhao had just repelled a new round of attacks by the peasant army when he saw the guards hurried into the house carrying a letter. He unfolded the letter and read it carefully, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Give up Xianyang and capture
Sanshui County, this move looks very dangerous. If the peasant army ignores it and is determined to swallow up Xi'an Prefecture, then this move is a bad move. It is equivalent to giving up the north to the peasant army and letting the other side let it go.
Went to Xi'an Prefecture.
After thinking for a while, Cao Wenzhao called his nephew Cao Bianjiao in, "Uncle, I am busy deploying the defense line. Why are you looking for me at this time? But what's the emergency?"
"Don't be impatient. I'm looking for you at this time. Naturally, there are urgent matters. There is something you need to do personally. Tonight, you secretly gathered your troops and horses and left the city after midnight. I don't care what you do.
By any means, we must capture Sanshui County before noon tomorrow!"
Cao Bianjiao drank water. After listening to Cao Bianjiao's words, he couldn't hold it back and sprayed it on the ground. He stared and touched the water stains on the corners of his mouth, thinking he heard wrongly, "Uncle, are you sure you're not joking? You..."
When is the time to ask my nephew to go to Sanshui County?"
"Well, you heard me right. I take my order very seriously. Are you not sure about taking Sanshui County? If that's the case, it's not difficult for me to do it for you. Just ask someone else to do it."
Cao Bianjiao couldn't stand these words the most. He stood up suddenly, placed the tea cup heavily on the table, and glared: "What are these words? My uncle is too underestimated. My nephew is absolutely sure that he will be able to make it before noon tomorrow."
Take Sanshui County. But I don’t understand. My nephew is leading people to attack Sanshui County. Xianyang must have insufficient troops. Could it be that we attack Sanshui County and fail to defend Xianyang?"
"This is not something you need to consider. In this case, go ahead and prepare. Remember, don't let others know about the attack on Sanshui County, especially if it doesn't reach the ears of Governor Yang. Understand
?”
"My nephew understands." Cao Bianjiao knew very well that if Governor Yang knew about this, the attack on Sanshui County would be aborted.
...
Sanshui County, since Cao Wenzhao went south a few days ago, Zhang Yichuan's troops came over again soon, and soon captured Sanshui County. The fighting in Xi'an Prefecture was fierce, and something went wrong again in Yan'an Prefecture, and the officers and soldiers took it
Xia Ansai City and Mizhi County have completely taken the initiative. At the moment, leader Wang Jiayin is bent on taking Xi'an City first, which also leads to the pitiful lack of troops stationed in Sanshui County.
Sanshui County is located in the core area of the Peasant Army's sphere of influence. Wang Jiayin and others never thought that someone would come here to seek death, so the defense of Sanshui County is equivalent to nothing. Some soldiers and horses were transferred before, but the follow-up did not continue.
Supplement: The special situation in Sanshui County directly led to Wang Jiayin and others not paying attention to this place.
Cao Bianjiao marched in a hurry at night. When two thousand soldiers and horses appeared on the outskirts of Sanshui County at midnight the next day, many peasant soldiers were still hiding in corners and sleeping.
Cao Bianjiao was never polite to the peasant army and directly ordered them to be killed. Since the guards in Sanshui County were not prepared at all and the city gate was not closed in time, Cao Bianjiao was allowed to enter Sanshui County easily.
The heavily armed Zhang Yichuan retreated north with his troops and horses, giving orders at any time, but his whole head was covered. He still doesn't understand why the officers and soldiers attacked Sanshui County. Are they here to die?
Although there are less than 500 people garrisoned in Sanshui County, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses around. As long as there is a little reinforcement and Sanshui County is surrounded, the officers and soldiers who enter Sanshui County will have no choice but to wait for death.
.
At the north gate, Zhang Yichuan once again bumped into Cao Bianjiao who came to intercept him. When he saw the brave young man, Zhang Yichuan panicked. Last time, he was beaten so badly by Cao Bianjiao that he almost lost his life.
Who would have thought that Cao would turn into a dragon this time?
The attack and defense of Sanshui County ended very quickly. As soon as Zhang Yichuan saw Cao Bianjiao, the last bit of fighting spirit disappeared. As soon as he left the city, he led the remaining soldiers to break out of the siege and fled towards the west.
After Cao Bianjiao captured Sanshui County, he worked intensively to build fortifications. Only an hour later, Cao Wenzhao's army entered Sanshui County.
Cao Wenzhao's troops suddenly abandoned Xianyang and captured Sanshui County, which caused a great shock. Not only was the peasant army caught off guard, but Yang He in Xi'an was also made angry. Yang He
Born in a scholarly family, he has read many books about saints and sages, and is a humble man. But this time he couldn't help but say a few dirty words: "Cao Wenzhao, this guy, stepped on sheep dung and eggs as spices? He abandoned Xianyang without asking for permission.
, he is treason, he is committing a crime."
Hong Chengchou stood aside, his face full of bitterness. The offensive and defensive battle in Xi'an was already very difficult, and Cao Wenzhao suddenly came so suddenly, which was really unexpected. Now asking Cao Wenzhao's crime? That is tantamount to
If you cause trouble for yourself, no matter what Cao Wenzhao did, whether it was a reward or a punishment, it will be a matter of the future.
"Director Yang, please rest your thunderous wrath for a moment. General Cao is a veteran on the battlefield and will never do anything meaningless. Perhaps he has a reason for doing so."
"Maybe he has his own reasons, but why didn't he ask me for instructions? Is it just a show-off for me to be the governor of the three sides? Hum, if the Xi'an Mansion falls, Cao Wenzhao will bear the main responsibility."
Hong Chengchou sighed and said patiently: "Director Yang, now we can only shrink the defense as much as possible. Otherwise, with our military strength, we will not be able to defend Xianyang and the western defense line at the same time."
Yang He could only nod helplessly, and after complaining, he would do whatever he had to do. No matter what Cao Wenzhao did, he had to cooperate with Cao Wenzhao at this time, and he could not watch him die.
Hong Chengchou admired Yang He for this reason. No matter when and where, Yang He always dealt with the situation but not the person.
When Sanshui County was in their own hands, they didn't think anything of it, but after it fell into the hands of officers and soldiers, Wang Jiayin and others finally realized how important this place was.
Sanshui County is located in the core area and can even attack Pingliang directly to the west. Now Wang Jiayin is in Pingliang. In order to support Xi'an Prefecture, almost all the troops have been drained. Now Wang Jiayin only has more than a thousand people around him. These people can't
Guarantee his safety.] In desperation, various ministries began to receive orders to bring troops back for reinforcements to wipe out the officers and soldiers in the county.
