Chapter 699: The Battle of Yingchuan

The Han army dispatched several ways, the army pressed the border, and the whole line of Yuzhou was in an emergency.

Now Cao Jun was dumbfounded, didn't he say that Yanzhou was still plagued? Didn't you say that Qingzhou was in rebellion? Why did you suddenly call without saying a word?

Lejin mobilized troops and horses in Yingchuan to stop Zhao Yun. Xiahoudun was also very busy. Cheng Yu and others have entered Sichuan, and Jingzhou is fighting again. Now they are left on their own.

However, even if you rely on yourself, how can you stop the northern army from rolling in? Bad news kept coming, Chen Junyangxia was lost, and Fule was lost; Liang Guomeng County was lost, and Yu County was lost; Peiguo Xiahou Yuan was besieged by Xiaopei, and Yingchuan Yangguan was in danger!

After receiving the battle report that the whole line of Yuzhou was in an emergency, Cao Ren was also stunned. He had no choice but to stop the Nanyang soldiers and horses, send Cao Hong out again, and let him lead the Nanyang soldiers and horses to relieve the siege of Yuzhou.

Before leaving, Cao Ren admonished: "If you are reckless, the two crimes will be punished together, and you will not be spared!" ”

Cao Hong only responded.

After Cao Hong dispatched, he said in his heart, this time he wanted to fight steadily and steadily, and he didn't want to fall for the tricks of the Han army. Otherwise, my brother will definitely make my head move.

So he marched all the way and gradually became steady.

I arrived at Yingchuan first and met with Lejin. When Le Jin heard that Cao Hong led the army to come, he was overjoyed and went out of the city to greet him. After two conversations, Le Jin said: "How many soldiers and horses did Zilian bring?" ”

Cao Hong said: "Wen Qian, today I am ordered by my brother to mobilize 20,000 troops and horses from Jingzhou, is it enough!" ”

Le Jin said happily: "Zilian is here, I don't have to worry about it!" ”

So they went into the city to rest, and on the second day, they went out of the city together to watch Zhao Yun's army. Outside Yangguan, Zhao Yun's army was orderly and well-arranged. After watching it for a while, I saw that the camp was continuous, and the sergeants were like ants. Then he went back to the castle tower.

Cao Hong said worriedly: "When I heard that the north was advancing on several roads, I thought it was a rumor. Seeing Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses today, it doesn't seem like a lie. If Chen, Liang, Pei and other places are like this, my Yuzhou is in danger. ”

Lejin was also silent. Combined, he and Cao Hong are estimated to be able to withstand Zhao Yun's offensive. But what about the other three places?

Now Jingzhou has become a stalemate, and Cao Ren has no troops to adjust. As soon as he moved, Zhou Yu would definitely take the opportunity to attack and beat the water dog.

Moreover, what Le Jin didn't dare to think about was that there was still a Guan Yu in Xuzhou. Guan Yu has been in Xuzhou all these years, and he seems to have not moved, but how can this kind of character be underestimated?

Could it be that this Yuzhou can't be defended? As soon as this thought moved, Le Jin couldn't stop thinking about it anymore. After thinking about it for a while, Le Jin stopped his flying thoughts, calmed down, and began to think about how to deal with Zhao Yun's offensive.

Zhao Yun came to Yingchuan, and if he didn't fight Yingchuan, he naturally refused to give up. Yangguan is adjacent to Yingshui, which is the northern barrier of Yingchuan County to govern Yangzhai.

Yangguan is a small city with a small population, but it is quite strong. Zhao Yun tentatively fought for two days, but he didn't come down. Of course, if you use human life to pile up, you can naturally fill in this small city. But how could Zhao Yun fight such a stupid battle.

Yangguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the key is that it is surrounded by Yingshui. With such a big river to protect, it is really difficult to attack.

If nothing else, it is not easy to find a way to fill in this moat. The people under the city are filling the river, and the people in the city are shooting arrows and killing people. Well, this river is wide and deep, when will it have to be filled?

In the end, Zhao Yun couldn't help but hate the people who made Yang Guancheng.

Of course, Zhao Yun is not out of the question. After inspecting the terrain on the spot, he found that Yingshui has a river channel that communicates with the water. This discovery made Zhao Yun overjoyed.

So, he gave orders to go down and prepare to let his subordinates act. Suddenly, someone came to report, saying that someone from Cao Jun had led an army to help, and looking at its banner, it seemed to be Cao Hong.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but smile when he heard Cao Hong's coming, and said, "Since Cao Zilian is here, let's go and say hello." So he led the army out of the camp and went to the city of Yangguan. Invite Le Jin and Cao Hong to meet.

Le Jin and Cao Hong were stunned when they heard that Zhao Yun was invited, so they appeared in the city together, and Le Jin said: "General Zhao called me and Zilian to come, what advice do you have?" ”

Zhao Yun arched his hand and smiled: "How dare you say anything about a shallow person? The world has been at war for a long time, and my lord does not want to raise up any more wars to harm the people. It's just that Cao Gong and Wu Hou had another quarrel, and our lord had to mediate. However, Duke Cao and Marquis Wu did not listen to the orders of the imperial court, and Yun had to be ordered to come and persuade by force. Now that our army has arrived, why don't the two generals go south with me to persuade Cao Gong and Wu Hou to stop fighting and stop fighting, so as to benefit the world? What do the two generals think? ”

Le Jin and Cao Hong listened and looked at each other. I want to say that Zhao Yun is a fool, people are obviously not stupid. But he said such a thing in a high-sounding manner.

Should I be good or shouldn't I be good? It should not be just to lose the righteousness and go against the people of the world. If it should be, how can it be that each is his master?

Cao Hong said in a low voice: "Liu Xuande's subordinates are all sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed, so why bother arguing with them." Just ask him if he wants to fight and retreat. ”

Le Jin nodded, and said with a smile: "General Zhao's words are wrong. You and I are each our own masters, and as generals, we should be loyal upwards and righteous downwards. Cao Gong is my lord, and it is his responsibility to defend the land, so he has to live up to General Zhao's good intentions. ”

Zhao Yun was stunned: "Why did General Le say this?" I am Hanchen, is General Le not Hanchen? You and I are both ministers of the Son of Heaven, so how can we say that each is his master? ”

Cao Hong and Le Jin listened and were speechless. I had to say: "If you want to fight, you will fight, why bother to say more!" ”

Zhao Yun laughed and led the army to retreat. The mouth is righteous, and he is armed with an axe. This is the declaration of Liu Bei's attack on Yuzhou this time. He wants Yuzhou, and he also wants the name of righteousness. Therefore, the generals were not only responsible for fighting the war, but also responsible for propaganda work.

Anyway, good things have to be said in the front, and then whether you listen to them or not is your business. If you don't listen, hit. Listen, appreciate. After the opportunity has been given, if you yourself want to be Cao Chen rather than Han Chen, you want to engage in separatism, and you want to set up another mountain, then it is no wonder that my subordinates are ruthless.

After Zhao Yun returned to the camp, there was no movement for several days.

Le Jin and Cao Hong were in the city, inspecting the soldiers and horses, preparing grain and grass, and also doing pre-war mobilization, and doing a lot of hard work, but the Han army outside the city was very quiet. Le Jin and Cao Hong couldn't help but wonder, what is Zhao Yun doing?

So he sent to find out what was going on. The result was reported back, but it surprised Lejin and Cao Hong. Zhao Yun actually requisitioned the people's husband, widened the river between Yingshui and Lishui, and then decided to go to Yingshui.

Yingshui and Weishui are actually in the territory of Runan County, so they are combined into one, and finally flow into the Huai River. Therefore, Zhao Yun's operation is completely feasible. It's just that Zhao Yun is doing this. Yangguan is dangerous.

Without the protection of Yingshui, what is Yangguan?

Le Jin and Cao Hongyi combined, yes, you can't sit back and watch Zhao Yun do this. Take the initiative. If you fight hard and defeat Zhao Yun, you won't have so many troubles.
