Chapter seven hundred and seventy-fifth save and not save
The next day, the 140,000 Chu Army came out of Lueyang and went south to the south.
Yan Liang's soldiers were divided into three roads. Zhu Yan led 20,000 soldiers in the east road, attacking the water, and the second city of Linwei, and then from Linwei South to Weishui, turned to the west to attack the upper side.
Li Yan, the West Route, led a 20,000 sperm, attacking the country, showing the second city, and fighting Jixong from the northwest.
Yan Liang himself unified the 100,000 troops and went south to the south to take Jicheng.
The hundreds of thousands of troops went south to kill Qin Guo's belly.
As Cao Cao was worried, the most lack of Qin Guo is the soldiers and horses. Only more than 40,000 troops can block the three -sided attack of the Chu army of 140,000.
Faced with Yan Liang's three -way attack, Cao Cao could only give up the entire line of defense, and was concentrated in Jicheng with the main force.
Two Chu Army of the Wing of the Wing.
Yan Liang's commander's main force, drove in all the way, and for several days, he faced the north bank of Weishui, and the main force with Cao Cao formed a confrontation between the river.
The other two soldiers and horses also went smoothly. After Li Yan's ministry won the city, he seized Luomen to the west and blocked the connection between Jicheng and Nan'an County to the west.
As for Zhu Yan's road, after crossing Weishui, he almost won the Shangcheng City without blood, which not only threatened the wing of Jicheng, but also threatened the Qishan army of Xia Houyuan.
Cao Cao attacked Xia Houyuan on both sides of the enemy, but helplessly, he had to abandon Xia Houyuan and other counties such as Xicheng.
As soon as Xia Houyuan retired. Lu Xun's 30,000 Sichuan soldiers have come to Qishan and flattened the counties such as the south of Tianshui in Xixian County.
It was the nearly 200,000 army of Yan Liang, who surrounded Cao Cao and his 40,000 Qin Army in a narrow area centered on Jicheng.
This time, Cao Cao did not choose to escape, but decided to stay in Jicheng.
Cao Cao was very clear. At this time, he had no room for him to go to him.
Jicheng is the capital of the Qin Kingdom. It is also the strongest city of Longxi, and it is also a symbol of his imperial power. The consequences of his letting the city can only cause the Qin people's heart to disintegrate. No more resistance.
At that time, what Yan Liang had to do was just like a tiger and wolf, and he continued to drive him to escape all the way.
Even if Cao Cao fled to Liangzhou, Yan Liang would pursue it. With the defeat at that time, he could no longer stop Yan Liang's soldiers.
If Liangzhou lost again, where can Cao Cao escape?
Is it necessary for him to escape to the Western Regions. Or is it Xianbei, the foreign territory of the Huhu, is it a panting?
Of course, Cao Cao was unwilling. So he decided to adhere to Jicheng, all the life and death of the Cao family, and the existence of Qin Kingdom, all of which were entrusted to the hope of returning the Chu army in this campaign.
Cao Cao was not completely desperate. He also had high hopes for Cao Yu.
Cao Cao believes that Cao Yong will be able to persuade the people of Liangzhou to send troops to help each other. As long as he goes south of the iron ride in Liangzhou and attacks Yan Liang's side, then Yan Liang has to withdraw from the siege of the city.
Yan Liang knew Cao Cao's thoughts. In this regard, Yan Liang was ready for a long time.
Under the teachings of Yan Liang, Zhao Yun and Hu Cheer led nearly 15,000 Great Chu cavalry. They have been cruising in the northwest of Jicheng, and they are always prepared to prevent the south of Liangzhou Iron Rider.
Yan Liang has been estimated in advance. Even if Cao Yu can transfer the Cavalry of Liangzhou, the number does not exceed 30,000. The force of these quantities cannot form an absolute advantage over the Chu Army.
Yan Liang believes that with the ability of Zhao Yun's commander -in -chief, coupled with Hu Cheer's Xiliang people, the understanding of the West Liang cavalry warfare, his cavalry legion is enough to block the south of Xiliang Tieqi.
The side arrangement is properly arranged, and Yan Liang puts all the energy on the siege of Jicheng.
Because Cao Cao gathered the gravity of the south bank of Weishui, so that Yan Liang was not easy to attack the river from the front. Under the suggestions of Fa Zheng, Yan Liang changed the focus of the attack to the wing of the East Road.
As a result, Yan Liang told Xu Yan to take his banner, and continued to confront Cao Cao on the North Shore. Yan Liang himself led the main force to cross Weishui from Linwei South, and transferred to Ji Cheng from the direction of Shangzhang.
Cao Cao also seemed to have guessed that Yan Liang would have this plan, but he was not enough for his strength, but he could not stop Yan Liang from crossing the river.
Yan Liang's army crossed the river, and then he met with Lu Xun's office. More than a 10,000 army, along the south bank of Weishui, approached step by step towards Jicheng.
Yan Liang is not in a hurry to seek success, just step by step, settle in a few times daily, and compress Cao Cao's living space step by step.
After more than ten days, Yan Liang's army forced Cao Cao and could only shrink the scope of the seven or eight miles of Jicheng.
Of course, although Yan Liang's soldiers and horses were crowded, he did not surround the city of Jicheng into iron barrels, and then left a mouth in the direction of the west of the city.
Yan Liang hoped that through this kind of trial, the Qin Army decided to defend the city, so that they had a hint of hope of abandoning the city.
However, outside the gap that Yan Liang deliberately left, he had been secretly set off. As long as Cao Cao dared to abandon the city and fled, he would inevitably fall into Yan Liang's trap.
Cao Cao in Jicheng, in the face of the increasingly closer of the Chu army, he is getting more and more anxious, increasingly unconfident.
Seeing that Liangzhou had no movement for a long time, Cao Cao couldn't sit still, and then he ordered Yang Fu to go out of the city at night and went to Liangzhou to urge Cao Yu to urge troops.
Yang Fu escaped from the west of Jicheng. He entered Jincheng County through the north of Nan'an County.
This Gu Zangcheng, at this time, is also the History Department of Liangzhou Assassination.
As early as the Chu army surrounded Jicheng, Cao Yu had arrived in Gu Zang, including Liangzhou local officials, including Liangzhou Assassin Wei Kang, and warmly greeted the arrival of Prince Qin.
After Cao Yong entered Gu Zangcheng, he held a long talk with Wei Kang and others, explaining the harmfulness of Yan Liangxi's invasion, and called on them to gather around them and help the court resist the invasion of the Chu army.
Wei Kang and others have expressed their willingness to obey his prince's dispatch because of protecting their own interests and Cao Yu's personal charm.
As a result, Cao Yong didn't take much effort, so he got the support of Liangzhou's cultural and military, and got the right to mobilize the 30,000 cavalry in Liangzhou.
However, shortly after Cao Yong got the Liangzhou Corps, he heard that Jicheng had been surrounded by more than 200,000 troops of Yan Liang, and Yan Liang's Zhao Yun Cavalry Regiment was obviously preparing to prevent his Liangzhou cavalry south after the parade.
Seeing such a situation, Cao Yu, under the proposal of Guo Yan, did not send troops to south for the time being, only to wait and see.
On the day, Cao Yu was with Zhu Xi, Wei Kang and others. When studying the war of Longxi, the guard came to report, saying that Yang Fu escaped from Jicheng and was asking for meeting.
Cao Yu's brows were slightly frowned. He already guessed that Yang Fu came here and must be served as Cao Cao's life, and came to urge him to send troops to south to help Jicheng.
"Pass him to come in." Cao Yu waved.
After a long time, Yang Fu stepped in the hall with anxiety, and met with his hands.
"Yang Shizhong, why are you here?" Cao Yu was surprised.
Yang Fudao: "Prince Prince, the minister was ordered to be the emperor, and came to ask the prince to ask the prince to help the prince.
"What's wrong with Jicheng?" Cao Yu was shocked, and it seemed like I didn't know the situation in Jicheng.
Yang Fu's face was suffering, and the situation of Jicheng was surrounded.
"The Yan thief's 200,000 army siege the city, our soldiers were micro -generals, and the military and civilians in the city were disturbed.
Called.
When Cao Cao was dangerous, Cao Yu's heart was shocked, and he wanted to promise Yang Fu on the spot.
However, the next moment, Cao Yong glanced at the Zhu Xi and was quietly shaking his head to himself, secretly winking.
Zhu Xi's eyes are obviously implying that Cao Yu is going to help the emperor.
As soon as Cao Yu's eyes turned, Yang Fu was busy up and sighed: "Father emperor is in danger. I am a son, and naturally, it is not allowed to lead the army to solve the siege for the father.
Persuading enough Liangzhou generals will follow me with me. If the troops are not enough, they will rush south.
"Then ... what should I do?" Yang Fu Jiao Chen said.
Cao Yong thought about it and said, "So, Yang Shizhong and rest in Gu Zangcheng for a few days, I will persuade the other Liangzhou soldiers as fast as possible, and strive to send troops to save the emperor."
Cao Yu has difficulties. Now, Yang Fu has no way to obey Cao Yu's arrangements.
After passing away, Zhu Xi immediately persuaded: "His Royal Highness, Jicheng has 200,000 Yanliang Army.
"The trend of the Yan thief is huge, but the father emperor is dangerous, can I sit down and ignore it?"
Zhu Xi sighed: "His Royal Highness's filial piety, Chen, etc. know naturally, but Jicheng's overwhelming has not become a final game. If His Royal Highness goes to rescue, I am afraid that it will be like the emperor. With the death of Jicheng, if His Royal Highness is in danger, the whole is the whole.
The Great Qin Kingdom will cover this. "
After a pause, Zhu Xi said again: "If His Royal Highness did not save, even if Ji Cheng broke, the emperor ... that, there is still His Royal Highness.
Invasion, then my big Qin still has the opportunity to recover. "
Zhu Xi's words were generous, and Cao Yu did not save his father, but for the good Qin Kingdom.
Cao Yong groaned for a long time, and he was bored in his heart, so he called Zhu Xi and others to retreat.
As soon as the sons of this group retreated, at the back hall, the prince's concubine Guo Yan turned out of it, and the model came to comfort Cao Yu.
Cao Yong held his wife's hand and sighed: "Yan'er, Yang Fu and Zhu Xi, you must have heard it, so according to your opinion, should I go to save the father?"
Guo Yan only smiled slightly, and didn't take it for granted: "Save is death, not saving is life. With such a simple choice, does His Royal Highness know to choose?"
Hearing Guo Yan's words, Cao Yu's figure suddenly shocked.
After groaning for a long time, Cao Yu's face was gloomy, and the decisive color had emerged in his eyes.
