"What Zixiao said makes sense!" As soon as Cao Ren finished speaking, Xia Houyuan, who was sitting next to Cao Ren, clapped his hands, cheered, and said, "If I remember correctly! Then Sun Jian and Luo Yang still had Jiangdong because of Jiangdong.
We have become enemies! If we can pull Sun Jian over, we will definitely be able to solve this crisis! Maybe we can also wipe out Luo Yang’s army here!"
As soon as Xia Houyuan finished speaking, all the other generals also echoed his words, and all of them were beaming. The depressed atmosphere that had been caused by the enemy's invasion was gone! Even civil servants such as Mao Jie and Man Chong were beaming with joy! It's just them.
Unexpectedly, the people sitting closest to Cao Cao still had gloomy faces. The first to speak was Xia Houyuan's brother Xia Houdun. He frowned and said to Xia Houyuan and others: "Miaocai! You and
Don’t be too happy! Sun Jian may not be able to help us with this!"
"Ah?" He was full of enthusiasm, but his brother poured cold water on him. Xia Houyuan was stunned immediately, turned around and asked in surprise: "Brother, why do you say that? If Sun Jian doesn't take advantage of this moment to deal with Luo Yang,
Isn't he afraid that Luo Yang will come to him to avenge Jiangdong in the future?"
Before Xiahou Dun had time to answer, Xun You, the counselor sitting opposite, smiled bitterly and said: "Afraid! How could Sun Jian not be afraid! But although Sun Jian is brave and impulsive, he is not a fool. Now he is helping us deal with Luo Yang, but he is not afraid.
How many benefits! You must know that Luo Yang's strength is not weak! If you offend Luo Yang rashly, you will suffer the consequences if you kill the snake! Unless we can be sure that most of Luo Yang's strength can be swallowed up in one go this time! After Luo Yang goes through this battle, again
Only if Sun Jian is unable to retaliate will he take action!"
"Uh!" Hearing Xun You's explanation, Xia Houyuan was immediately speechless. Now Cao Cao's strength is indeed very good, especially after absorbing Yuan Shao's remaining troops, his strength has greatly increased! But Luo Yang has been famous for a long time.
Among the princes, even Dong Zhuo suffered heavy losses one after another at the hands of Luo Yang! No matter how arrogant Xia Houyuan was, he did not dare to say that he could definitely deal with Luo Yang!
After being explained like this by Xun You, the other people who were cheering just now also calmed down. They all looked at each other and returned to their previous silence. The same was true for Cao Cao. When he just heard Cao Ren mention such an idea,
Cao Cao was also secretly happy, but after listening to Xun You's analysis, Cao Cao's heart kept sinking. With a bitter look on his face, he looked at the civil and military officials sitting down in the hall and said, "Can't you guys think of something like this?
A solution?”
Although Cao Cao asked this, all the civil servants and generals who sat down lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything. Seeing the disappointed look on Cao Cao's face, Xun Yu, who was sitting next to Xun You, was also filled with bitterness. At this moment, he
I can't help but think of every detail of my encounter with Luo Yang in Luoyang City. The little official who I even looked down upon at the beginning has now grown into a person who even my own lord fears the overlord! It's really unpredictable in the world!
But this does not mean that Xun Yu will regret it. When he chose Cao Cao, Xun Yu still firmly believes that Cao Cao must be a wise leader who can implement his ideals! Thinking of this, Xun Yu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists hard, even if
Even if you risk your life and wealth, you must help Cao Cao overcome this difficulty and establish a hegemony!
He presented himself to the imperial court and led the Hanzhong County Prince himself. At the same time, he raised an army and set off from Nanyang, aiming directly at Yanzhou, which was led by Cao Cao!
Luo Yang's move made all the princes in the world nervous. After all, Luo Yang's actions four years ago simply started the world's strife! Although Luo Yang has been keeping a low profile these years, he seems to be slowly fading out of the world.
However, no one dares to forget Luo Yang’s power! Now Luo Yang suddenly raises troops to attack Cao Cao, does this mean that a new round of world disputes is about to begin again!
With the attention of all the princes in the world, Luo Yang's army marched directly from Lushan City into Yanzhou. But what surprised everyone was that Luo Yang's army marched unimpeded in Yanzhou! In just one month,
At that time, Luo Yang's army actually directly captured the three counties of Yingchuan, Xuchang, and Chenliu, and stationed in the hinterland of Yanzhou! Facing Luo Yang's army, Cao Cao's army only resisted symbolically and gave up the city! Could it be that Cao Cao actually faced Luo Yang's army?
Luo Yang's army is so frightened that he doesn't even have the courage to fight with it?
Obviously, Cao Cao's unusual behavior also made Luo Yang very confused, so after capturing Chenliu County, Luo Yang's army stopped directly and had no intention of continuing to attack. In this way, another month passed, and it seemed that
Cao Cao made no other moves. He just slowly gathered his troops in the three counties of Jiyin, Liangdu and Qiaojun east of Chenliu. He also had no intention of taking the initiative to fight Luoyang's army. The two sides were in a stalemate here, and it seemed that no one could
Don't dare to take a step beyond the bounds!
The time is gradually entering autumn, and the weather is slowly getting colder. At the westernmost point of Yanzhou, Xingyang has just been captured by Luoyang's army. Since it was captured by Luoyang's army, between Sizhou and Yanzhou, both in the hands of Cao Cao,
The connection between them was completely severed by Luo Yang! But Luo Yang did not use his army to attack Sizhou. Firstly, there were natural dangers such as Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass in Sizhou. Even if Luoyang's army was powerful, they captured
There is no problem with these two checkpoints, but they will cost a lot of troops, which is extremely uneconomical! Anyway, there are not many troops in Sizhou. They only have enough troops to hold on, but they are unable to intervene in the war in Yanzhou, so Luo Yang just lets it go.
However, nearly five thousand Ruijia troops were sent to guard Xingyang City to guard against Cao Jun in Sizhou!
Commanding the Xingyang soldiers and horses are Yan Yan, the general of the Ruijia Army, Lingbao, and Wang Xian. Since Jia Long took refuge in Luoyang's tent four years ago, all the Yizhou generals have also surrendered with Jia Long.
Come here. Originally, Jia Long and others wanted to deal with Luo Yang as if they were Liu Yan, but after a series of actions such as the recruitment hall and Qingcheng College, the strength of the Yizhou family was greatly weakened. The year before last, as
Jia Long, the leader of the Yizhou military general line, died of illness. Now they, the Yizhou generals, had completely lost their support and finally became completely loyal to Luo Yang!
Luo Yang handed Xingyang City to the three of them to guard. As it was their first time to work for Luo Yang, Yan Yan and the others naturally wanted to do an outstanding job and did not slack off at all. No, Yan Yan and the others discussed this as soon as they arrived in Xingyang.
They set up a plan, with three people taking turns to be on duty at the top of the city, so that when the enemy came, there would be no one on the top of the city to command the defenders. However, this method was implemented well at the beginning, but in the blink of an eye, the two
The past month has passed. Yan Yan, as a veteran, can still maintain his composure to a certain extent, but the two young men, Ling Bao and Wang Xian, have become a little lax.
Today, it is almost noon. Wang Xian, who should have arrived at the top of the city at dawn, yawned and walked slowly to the top of the city. Looking at the soldiers guarding the top of the city, Wang Xian was listless.
He grabbed the nearest soldier and asked, "How is it? What happened?"
In front of Wang Xian, the soldier did not dare to show any slightness. He clasped his fists and shouted: "Reporting to the general, everything is fine on the city. There is nothing abnormal! General, please rest assured!"
"Well!" After hearing what the soldier said, Wang Xian nodded with a disappointed look on his face, then waved his hand and said, "Okay! In that case, you can continue to stay here! Remember! If there are any special circumstances,
If something happens, go to the city gate and look for me immediately! Do you understand?" He was supposed to be guarding the city gate, but Wang Xian couldn't bear it, so he simply went down to the city gate and prepared the pergola at the city gate.
Take a rest.
Originally, according to the situation in the past, Wang Xian would spend today in the pavilion. When Yan Yan, who is next on duty, comes, he can take over and go back to rest. However, today's situation is obviously different from the past! Before Wang Xian can leave,
When they arrived at the pavilion, suddenly there was a cry of surprise from the top of the city. The soldier whom Wang Xian had just told him about stretched out his head from the top of the city and shouted to Wang Xian: "General Wang! Wang Xian!"
General! Oops! There are troops approaching!"
"What?" Wang Xian's face was startled. He turned around and walked directly to the top of the city. Regardless of the soldiers who reported the situation to him, he walked straight to the female wall and looked out of the city. Sure enough,
, I saw not far outside the city, a group of dark troops and horses were rushing towards here, but the distance was still far away. No matter how good Wang Xian's eyesight was, he couldn't see where the other side's troops came from! However,
Even so, Wang Xian did not dare to be careless at all, and immediately ordered: "Close the city gate quickly! And! Notify General Yan and General Ling! Let them come quickly!"
Immediately, several soldiers followed Wang Xian's order and went directly to execute it. Because Wang Xian's order was issued in time, they finally rushed to the city gate before the other party and closed the gate directly. At this time, Wang Xian also
Clearly see the origin of this sudden army outside the city!
I saw that the army outside the city was all wearing black armor. The texture of the armor was obviously much thicker than that of ordinary soldiers. Especially when they rushed to the city gate from a distance at an extremely fast speed, the formation was still intact.
There was no chaos at all, and the army was still exuding waves of murderous intent while it was marching! Just for this point, Wang Xian had only seen it in another army in his life, and that was the one that was now incorporated into the Mao Blade Army.
The trap camp directly under Gao Shun!
The army in front of him obviously had a lot more soldiers and horses than the trapped camp, with at least more than 3,000 people! But this was not what surprised Wang Xian the most! What surprised Wang Xian was that in this army
At the forefront of the army, a flag was erected with two large black characters "Xiliang" written on it!
