Chapter 714: Leaking
Hu Fen is Sima Yi's proud protΓ©gΓ©, in the early years when Sima Yi went to Liaodong Gongsun Yuan, Hu Fen defected to Sima Yi in white, and was appreciated and reused by Sima Yi.
Originally, Sima Yi was pretending to be sick at home, and it was not easy to transfer Hu Fen to Hanoi Taishou, and he had to pass the approval of the general Cao Shuang, but this was difficult for Sima Yi, he sent someone to bribe Deng Yang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Deng Yang was greedy for money and forgot his righteousness, so he naturally added more kind words in front of Cao Shuang, and Hu Fen successfully became the Taishou of Hanoi.
Since Hanoi County is located between Bingzhou and Luoyang, Sima Yi deliberately sent his henchman Hu Fen to Hanoi County, the purpose of course is also very clear, that is, to let Hu Fen block the passage from Luoyang to the supremacy of the party and block the army of Bingzhou from going south, so that when Sima Yi launches a mutiny in Luoyang, he does not need to worry about the forces on the side of Bingzhou.
Of course, this blockade was not something that Hu Fen dared to implement after he took office, and before Sima Yi's Luoyang mutiny, Hu Fen did not dare to make any moves, and all Hu Fen needed to do was to prepare soldiers and horses and wait for Sima Yi's orders.
On the eve of the mutiny, Sima Yi asked Sima Shi to send someone to inform Hu Fen, and after Hu Fen received the order, he immediately sent people to Mengjin, Xiaopingjin, Wushejin and other ferries to block the Yellow River and strictly prohibit anyone from passing.
However, at this time, the Yellow River is still in the freezing period, although it is more dangerous to walk on the ice, but there are still many people who venture to pass on the ice, so crossing the Yellow River is not limited to the ferry, if you are more courageous, you can step on the ice from the narrowest place of the Yellow River.
This undoubtedly made it more difficult for Hu Fen to blockade the Yellow River, and it seemed that it was obviously impossible to cut off the passage between the two sides of the river by holding only a few Yellow River crossings, let alone those omnipresent messengers.
Therefore, Hu Fen did not simply defend the Yellow River crossing, in addition to stationing a lot of manpower on these ferries to blockade, he also sent a team to patrol the Yellow River.
Of course, this does not guarantee a complete blockade of traffic, and Hu Fen also sent another man to Shimen to block the road into Bingzhou for the sake of safety.
Both Sima Yi and Hu Fen firmly believed that as long as Luoyang's road to Shangdang was blocked, the news of the Luoyang mutiny would not reach Bingzhou in a short time, so Sima Yi only informed Hu Fen a few hours before the mutiny.
And when Hu Fen took action, it was almost equivalent to Sima Yi's mutiny in Luoyang at the same time, so Hu Fen didn't have to worry about the news leaking in advance, now he only needs to send people to garrison the ferry and Shimen, he can completely block the traffic between Bingzhou and Luoyang, with the current strength of this blockade, even if it is a mouse, he will not want to get through.
In this way, even if Luoyang is turning the world upside down, after the news reaches the state, it will be at least a month and a half later, by then, the dust on the Luoyang side has already been settled, even if the people of the state come, what can it do?
But what Sima Yi and Hu Fen never imagined was that Cao Liang had not sent any more messengers since the mutiny, and the last messenger sent a day earlier was not to deliver the news of the attack of the state army at all, but to stop the dispatch of troops.
Two days later, Cao Liang led the cavalry battalion to flee north, crossing the Yellow River from Xiaopingjin, Hu Fen did not know in advance, he was still in Huaixian County, a hundred miles away, and when he received the news, he gathered the army to rush to Xiaopingjin, Cao Liang's army had already crossed the Yellow River, and the arrow went to Heyang County.
So Hu Fen led the army to Heyang again, and finally rushed to Heyang before the fifth watch, and surrounded Heyang City.
This time, there are about 30,000 people led by Hu Fen, of course, there can be no such people in Guangheoi, because there are many counties in the world, if each county and each country maintains the number of county soldiers at 20,000 to 30,000, then for the Cao Wei court, what a huge number of troops this has to be fed.
Therefore, the county soldiers led by Hu Fen only accounted for about half, and the other half of the men and horses came from the soldiers of the Sima family.
Sima Yi was born in Wen County, Hanoi, Sima clan is also the premier family in Hanoi, and now Sima Yi is even more promoted to Taifu, Sima family is even more prosperous in Hanoi, and there are countless side branches, if each family has dozens or hundreds of soldiers, not to mention the scale of tens of thousands of people.
Sima Yi integrated this army and handed over the command to Hu Fen, so Hu Fen could lead about 30,000 men and horses to besiege Heyang City.
Soon the news of the siege of Heyang City spread throughout the city, and the soldiers who woke up from their sleep were stunned on the spot when they heard the news.
Wen Qin, who had just been lying down, was pulled back to reality by the urgent military situation, he hurried to the head of the city, and when he saw the dense Hanoi army outside the city, his expression suddenly became solemn.
It seems that Cao Liang's decision last night was quite wise, if they only camped in Xiaopingjin instead of going to Ha Duong, there was no danger to be defended, how could they resist such a large and powerful Hanoi army.
However, Heyang is by no means a place to stay for a long time, at this moment, Hu Fen besieged Heyang City without attacking, obviously with the intention of waiting for Sima Shi's army to cross the river, when the two roads converged, and the Xiaocai battalion wanted to leave, I am afraid it would not be an easy task.
Not only Wen Qin, but also Lian Hong and Liu Jing all urged Cao Liang to break through as soon as possible, and later things changed.
Cao Liang had a calm and calm face, as if he was confident, and he was completely unhurried.

Six pairs of eyes were staring intently at a huge leak at the moment, watching the water drip out of it, and the whole room was silent at the moment, not even the slightest noise, only the water dripping out of the huge leak, making a ticking sound.
This special leak can be used for up to three days, and now, the three-day period is getting closer and closer, so the three people are all around the edge of the leak, staring at the leak, for fear of missing every drop.
The last drop of water seemed so reluctant, the drop was stretched for a long time, but the huge gravity still made it finally drip down, making a crisp last sound.
This will be the last drop of water that will drip out of the entire leak, the leak is gone, and the time is frozen.
