The few short lines of words on the silk book instantly frozen the Lejin there.
Isn’t Hongnong City west of Shan County? I have never seen the Chu army on the Yellow River. How could the Chu army capture Hongnong? Could it be that Yan Zhe’s soldiers all had wings?
Le Jin was frightened, and Le Jin couldn't understand it.
When Le Jin saw the words at the end of the letter, his whole body turned from terror to trembling.
Because Le Jin saw that his beloved son was the bad news that he killed Huang Zhong for the enemy.
In an instant, Le Jin felt a kind of grief and anger that was about to break his heart.
"Yan Thief, you dare to kill my beloved son. I will never give up if I don't kill your head--" Le Jin, who was extremely sad and angry, roared angrily.
The roar of anger made the Cao army on both sides shocked. They were naturally frightened and thought that General Le’s son was not in Hongnong City, so how could he be harmed by Yan Liang?
Soon, the soldiers guessed that there was probably something wrong in Hongnong City, otherwise how could Major General Le be killed by Yan Liang?
This amazing speculation caused Cao's army to be on the top of the city to be greatly shocked.
At the bottom of the city, Yan Liang's crazy laughter had just subsided, and the murderous intent in his eyes was already igniting like a raging fire.
"All army, attack--" Yan Liang pointed forward in his hand and shouted a long time.
When Hongnong is in the fall, the enemy in Shaanxi will definitely be very frightened. At this time, Yan Liang will not take advantage of the situation to attack the city, so when will he wait?
At this moment, the news of Huang Zhong's surprise attack on Hongnong City had already spread all over the army. All the soldiers were excited by the good news, and all their blood was boiling and their murderous intent was erect.
The order was passed down, the drums roared, and the battle flag swayed.
Without any encouragement, the soldiers who were highly motivated roared and rushed towards the Shan County town with the might of solemn power.
The army attacked the city, and the Cao army on the city was so shocked that they looked panicked.
Le Jin, who was in grief and anger, finally woke up from the pain of losing his son.
Looking at the Chu army that suddenly launched an attack, Le Jin suddenly understood that the Chu army's actions over the past few days were originally intended to cover the sneak attack on Hongnong.
"Can the bandit army actually crossed the Ku Zong Mountain in the south and attacked Hongnong from behind?" Le Jin finally realized and guessed the truth.
But at this moment, he had no time to think about it. The flood of the Chu army had already rushed to the city, and he had to overcome the difficulties in front of him first.
"It's all my damn moves, and I'll block the thief army. Who dares to take a step back and kill you without mercy!" Le Jin put down his grief and anger, raised his sword and roared and scolded the soldiers.
Under the threat of Le Jin, the Cao army on both sides could only suppress their fear and barely plucked up the courage to fight.
A fierce offensive and defensive battle began.
This siege did not last long, and Yan Liang ordered the withdrawal of troops within an hour.
Yan Liang knew that it would take at least a few days for the news of Hongnong's fall to spread throughout Shaanxi County and cause a heavy blow to the enemy's morale.
At that time, Yan Liang launched the general attack. In today's attack, Yan Liang just wanted to show off his force and scare Lejin and his Cao army.
After withdrawing his troops and returning to the camp, Yan Liang showed the news that Hongnong had attacked and destroyed him.
All the generals were greatly inspired and eager to try, and generously asked for the battle, striving to be the first to conquer Shan County and win great achievements.
Yan Liang was not in a hurry, and asked the generals to settle the battle intentions and rest on their own. It would not be too late to take the opportunity to attack the city after the enemy troops in Shaanxi were disintegrated.
When the Chu army was up and down and the army was motivated, they rode out of the world and headed straight for Guanzhong.
Late at night, Huayin, Cao's army camp.
In the big tent, Cao Cao slept very sweetly. Since he moved his troops to Huayin, Cao Cao had a rare sleep.
This is also because the Le Jin in Shaanxi County was as solid as a soup, and Yan Liang was dull in the city and could not move forward in the past half a month. This optimistic situation made Cao Cao feel very relaxed. When he was relaxed, he naturally ate and slept soundly.
Cao Cao was sleeping soundly, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In his dream, he dreamed that he rushed his troops eastward, defeated Yan Liang, avenged his previous shame, and picked Yan Liang's head high on the tip of his sword. How happy and how relieved he was...
Just as I was dreaming of being proud, the noise outside the tent woke Cao Cao from his sleep.
"The Prime Minister is asleep, no one can disturb me." Outside the tent, Xu Chu coldly refused someone.
"I have something urgent to do. Please tell me Zhongkang about the Prime Minister." Hearing the voice, it seemed to be Liu Ye's voice.
"The Prime Minister has a rare sleep. Even if the sky bed comes down, there is no need to be disturbed. Lord Liu should invite him back first. It will not be too late to come and report it tomorrow morning."
"It'll be late tomorrow."
Liu Ye's anxious voice swept away the pleasure of Cao Cao's dream. His nerves suddenly became nervous and said hurriedly: "Zhongkang, let Ziyang come in."
When Xu Chu heard this outside the tent, he knew that Cao Cao had woken up, so he turned pale and let Liu Ye in.
Liu Ye hurried in, not even giving up his courtesy, so he bowed and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, something is not good. Huang Zhong, the general of Yan's thief, led his army to secretly cross Ku Zong Mountain. He had already attacked Hongnong City unexpectedly at the sunrise before."
A bolt from the blue, five thunders thunders thunders.
Cao Cao felt dizzy and his feet were weak. He just stood up from the couch and fell down again.
"Prime Minister--" Liu Ye screamed in shock, and was so scared that he rushed up to help each other.
Cao Cao took a few breaths in a big mouthful, and finally recovered and forced himself to breathe blood without spurting out.
"You said Yan Zhe, how did he attack Hongnong City?" Cao Cao, with a pale face, asked gasping.
Liu Ye had no choice but to repeat: "Yan thief sent a light army to cross the Ku Zong Mountain path from Lu's city and attacked Hongnong from the west gate. General Le Wenqian's son was killed unexpectedly and had been killed by the thief Huang Zhong."
At this moment, Cao Cao finally understood.
Before, he once laughed at Yan Liang's plan to attack Shan County from the Yellow River. At this moment, he suddenly realized that it was just Yan Liang's suspicious plan.
Yan Liang actually dared to send him through the vast mountain, and once again humiliated him with this incredible method.
"Yan Liang, Yan Liang, why did he get fooled by him again? It's hateful-"
Cao Cao was shocked and angry, his face turned pale and blue, and he was so angry that he was already showing signs of going crazy.
"The Prime Minister's health is important. Don't hurt your body." Liu Ye persuaded anxiously.
Cao Cao took a few breaths, stroked his chest with his hand, and tried his best to suppress the surging blood and finally calmed down.
"I really didn't expect that Yan Tie was so cunning and brave that he would dare to use such a dangerous plan." Cao Cao sighed helplessly.
Liu Ye sighed, "Yan Thief even dared to capture Liaodong from the sea. It would be natural to use such a dangerous plan. But we are just foolish and rude, and we were unable to see Yan Thief's traitor for the Prime Minister."
Liu Ye took the responsibility on these strategists.
"You don't have to blame yourself. Hongnong is in trouble. It's really unforgivable." Cao Cao shook his head and sighed, slowly stood up, waved his hand and sighed, "Give a quick order, the entire army immediately set off and leave the pass, and go and take back Hongnong."
Helpless Cao Cao led a 30,000 Cao army that night to Tongguan, heading eastward through the sky and rushing to Hongnong City.
What Cao Cao had to do was of course recapture Hongnong City and open up connections with Shaanxi County.
At this time, four days have passed since Huang Zhong succeeded in a sneak attack on Hongnong City.
In four days, it was enough for Huang Zhong to complete his insistent arrangement.
Hongnong City was Jian, and Huang Zhong resisted Cao Cao's 30,000 troops with five thousand horses, but he was not at a disadvantage.
For Huang Zhong, his biggest weakness lies in food and grass.
Although Hongnong was the county seat, it was the front line of the war in Shan County, so it was a large number of grain and grass. It was originally all gathered in Shan County. Most of the grain and grass in Hongnong County relied on transportation and supplies from Guanzhong.
In order to prevent the dilemma of food cuts, the day after Huang Zhong entered the city, he "robbed" the wealthy families in the county and collected their food for military use.
At the same time, Huang Zhong drove all the residents in the city out of the county town, so as not to prevent these civilians who were short of food from becoming uneasy after the city was surrounded.
After some tricks, Huang Zhong at least collected nearly ten days of food and grass for his five thousand soldiers. If he saves a little, he can last at least ten days.
Huang Zhong believed that his King of Chu would not allow him to be surrounded for too long, and it would be enough to hold on for ten days.
As Yan Liang expected in advance, Cao Cao's army immediately arrived and surrounded Hongnong City. Thirty thousand troops attacked day and night.
With a glimmer of hope and trying to make up for the loss, Cao Cao soon discovered in pain that Huang Zhong, an old guy, was not that easy to mess with.
After attacking for five days, Hongnong City remained unmoved. Huang Zhong proved with facts that he was not only good at attacking, but also good at defending.
Hongnong could not conquer for a long time, but news came from Shan County that the people's hearts in Shan County had collapsed, and the soldiers began to show signs of running away from Yuecheng.
If this situation continues, Shan County will collapse without fighting before Yan Liang takes the initiative to attack the city.
The situation in Shan County was unable to be defeated by Hongnong for a long time, and Cao Cao endured painfully in this double torture.
It was dusk, and Cao Cao, who failed to attack the city, sat down withdrew his troops and returned to the camp. His confidence back then was no longer there, and his face was full of discouragement and heavyness.
The civil and military officials and the others remained silent. At this point, they didn't know how to deal with this dilemma.
"Fengxiao, what should I do?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and looked at him with help. At this moment, he could only count on Guo Jia.
Guo Jia was silent, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he thought hard.
Cao Cao didn't even dare to speak out his breath. He held his breath and looked at Guo Jia with hope, hoping that this top strategist would bring him a glimmer of hope.
If Shan County loses, the 30,000 army will be completely lost. Cao Cao's already weak strength will be even more severe. By that time, he will not have the confidence to resist the attack of Yan Liang's more than 100,000 army.
After a while, Guo Jia finally raised his head and sighed: "At this point, it seems that there is only one way to go." (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
