Chapter 672
Knowing that the injustice sentence was lost, Jiyin was too shocked. Hurriedly summoned the group of officials to see him, and said: "Today's grievances have been lost, and most of the county reinforcements have been broken by the Han army." Now that we have to settle Tao County, how can we stop the Han army? ”
The ministers are mostly silent.
Taishou looked at it and said in his heart, you bastards, in the past, you were fighting for power and profit, and even your own officials were squeezed by you, now in times of crisis, why don't you dare to speak out?
At this time, the system, such as the Taishou and the county order, were all appointed and dismissed by the imperial court. As for the second official, sometimes it is appointed and dismissed by the imperial court, and sometimes it is recommended by the state or the county itself. And most of these officials are from local families. It was recommended by their chief officer, and there would be more or less an incense scene, so it was not so domineering. If they hold an official position that has nothing to do with the presiding officer. Then it would be good, whenever it came to the interests of themselves, their families, or the local bureaucracy as a whole, they would fight fiercely with the chiefs. If it's the Taiping New Year's Festival, the Taishou and the county order have the imperial court behind them to rely on, and they will be dignified for a while, and whoever dares to disobey will be dismissed from office at least and imprisoned at worst. Now the world is in chaos, and order has been lost. Therefore, in Jiyin, the officials of Zuo and Er probably don't take Taishou very seriously.
At this time, as long as you are not a fool, you know that Yanzhou can no longer be saved. The four counties of Dongjun, Chenliu, Taishan, and Jibei have all fallen into the hands of the Han army. Didn't Cao Gong just feel that it was difficult to compete with Liu Bei in Yanzhou, so he led his troops on an expedition to Yizhou?
Yanzhou can't hold it, and Cao Gong's forces and men can retreat to Yuzhou, Jingzhou, and Yizhou. But these people, whose families have been in Yanzhou for generations, have taken root. How can he be willing to leave his hometown and bet his personal and family fate on Cao Cao.
Therefore, if the injustice is lost, Dingtao is in danger, and they have already made up their minds. Sit back and watch the success or failure, and don't make a plan. Fight with each other. Anyway, no matter who it is, winning or losing is inseparable from them to govern Dingtao and Jiyin. Of course, this is the most conservative approach. Among them, of course, there were also the radical and intelligent people, who had already sent the letter outside the city, intending to be the number one hero anyway.
Jiyin Taishou saw that the ministers did not speak, and he also knew the plans of these puppets in his heart. It's just that they can do this, but he can't do it. He was recommended and appointed by Cao Cao, and his favor has not yet been reported, how can he join the enemy? The most important thing is that his family is still in Changyi.
In desperation, Jiyin Taishou hurriedly wrote to Cheng Yu, explaining all the details of the situation in Jiyin, and then asked what to do?
Cheng Yu was also shocked when he learned about the situation in Jiyin. While writing to appease Jiyin Taishou, he sent a letter to Cao Ren to tell him about the situation in Jiyin. Let him be ready to abandon Dongping.
Cao Ren got Cheng Yu's letter, and he didn't know that he was tricked by Ma Chao. was full of anger in his heart, knowing that Ma Chao was not there, he wanted to raise the three armies and go to Wuyan. Just as he was about to do it, suddenly he sent an envoy to report without salt.
Wuyan ordered him to report the victory in the letter, saying that under his heroic command, the county town was guarded without leakage, and the Han army had no choice but to retreat.
When Cao Ren got this letter, he was angry and funny, and he was extremely depressed. Fortunately, this saltless order is also witty, and he did not panic to report the military situation and say how many times he repelled the attacks of the Han army, otherwise Cao Ren would have to march to vent the evil breath in his heart.
After Ma Chao fell, he immediately sent an envoy to find Pang De, asking him not to do anything again recently, and just keep Shouzhang safely. Ma Chao knew that after the injustice was lost, he would naturally not be able to hide the situation here from Yanzhou Wenwu. If you don't let Pound retract, you will have to take revenge there.
Zhang Fei learned that Huang Zhong and Ma Chao had raided the grievances, and after Jiyin was in danger, he said to the generals: "Hansheng forced Dingtao, Yanzhou can't take care of the head and tail, I should use troops to attack Cao Ren, so that he doesn't dare to look west." ”
So he gathered his men and horses and attacked Cao Ren. At the same time, Tai Shi Ci and Wei Yan's department also had a seizure. Began to attack Xiahoudun and others in order to contain their forces so as to cooperate with Huang Zhong's actions.
When Xiahou Yuan heard the letter, he bit his teeth and wanted to raise troops to the north to attack Huang Zhong to relieve the siege of Jiyin, but he was persuaded by Cao Ren, Cheng Yu and others.
Cao Ren said: "The situation in Yanzhou is irreparable, if Miaocai insists on going to Jiyin, Peiguo is in danger." Yanzhou can be lost, but Yuzhou can not be lost, otherwise how to explain to Mengde? ”
Cheng Yu wrote: "The land of the four wars in Yanzhou, now the lord is marching westward, and the dragons in the state have no leader, and they are surrounded by Qing and Xu. On the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly, it is Liu Xuande who has been seeking Yanzhou for a long time. The counties have been lost, and it is difficult to save the sky of Yanzhou, and the wonderful talent can preserve its strength to defend Yuzhou. Ruo Miaocai attacked Huang Zhong and made Yuzhou unstable. I have no way back, and I am afraid that I will be captured by Liu Xuande. I hope that Miaocai will see it deeply. ”
Xiahou Yuan stopped his troops at this time, and when Wen Ping heard Xiahou Yuan's movements, he retreated his men and horses in Xiao County. Wen Pingcai didn't care if Xiahou Yuan wanted to go north or not. He only needs to get accurate information that Xiahou Yuan has entered the Yanzhou battlefield. Here he immediately attacked Xiao County and cut Pei Guo in two.
Losing the strategic location of Peiguo, what else will Yuzhou use to resist the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou? And it was precisely because Cao Ren and Cheng Yu saw this that Xiahou Yuan stopped his troops. There is no hope for Yanzhou, and it is better to give up Yanzhou than to make Yuzhou dangerous because of a small loss.
After resting for a few days, Huang Zhong led most of his troops to march forward, and when the army arrived at Dingtao, he set up a large camp. Jiyin was too guarded to hear that the Han army was coming, and he was busy watching it at the head of the city. I saw that the camp outside the city was dense, stretching for more than ten miles, the flags were flying, and the trumpets and drums were thundering. As far as the eye can see, the camp is murderous and angry.
Jiyin Taishou only felt his head dizzy for a while. With such a large army, how can he defend it, this city full of soldiers, because they have been transferred by the front, and now all of them add up, and they are only 5,000. This, how is this good?
After a headache, Taishou went down to the city, and hurriedly sent all the people in the palace out to announce the city, recruited young and strong people, and summoned the ministers to meet him, wanting to recruit the family members in his house to fill the army.
After a while, the county lieutenant and the county lieutenant arrived, and as soon as the Taishou said the matter, the ministers objected, and only the county lieutenant spoke out in agreement with what the Taishou said. The county lieutenant commanded Cao's army and was Cao Cao's diehard, but relying on his contribution alone, there were only a hundred people in the mansion, and it was useless.
Taishou glanced at the county lieutenant, and the county lieutenant understood, so he stepped forward, drew the sword in his hand, and shouted: "When you are in danger, do you dare to disobey your fate?" Want to try my military law? ”
The county lieutenant was in charge of the military of a county, and as soon as he came out, the ministers suddenly lost their voices. Dare to say more, he was cut off by this reckless man, is he wronged?
Taishou had a gloomy face and said: "The matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, you are all scholars, and this is the time for me to serve the lord." Please join me in fighting against foreign enemies! ”
Everyone couldn't, so they had to agree. Taishou also asked the county lieutenant to gather all the men and horses, go to the people's mansions, take away the men and horses they promised, and integrate them into the army.
Taishou is also just in case, these people already have different intentions, if they don't disarm their forces, in case they come to a nest, isn't it a joke with their own lives?
