In the fourth year of Yanping, the epidemic began. Cao Cao took advantage of the panic in the north and Yangzhou to brazenly raise troops and attack Jingzhou. In autumn, Sun Jian died. The two armies of Cao and Sun fought a great battle. Liu Bei took the opportunity to send troops to Yuzhou.

In the fifth year of Yanping, in 205 AD, Cao Ren and Li Tong led their troops to besiege Jingling and attacked for several months. Due to the flood season, the Han water rose and had to withdraw from the army.

In the summer of the fifth year of Yanping, Cai Mao and Huang Zhu led the army to surround Huarong. Huarong was in danger, so he told him about the tomb. It just so happened that Cao Jun had retreated, and the danger of the tomb was solved, so Xu Sheng said to Pan Zhang: "Huarong is the city in the hinterland of Nan County, and it is close to Jiangling. This city is in my hands, and the movements of Cao's army are all known to me. Therefore, I had to save it. ”

Pan Zhang thought so. Moreover, Huarong is the territory of Nanjun, wouldn't it be better to burn the flames of war to Nanjun than to make a big move in Jiangxia?

So Pan Zhang stayed to defend the city, and Xu Sheng led his troops to Huarong. Before leaving, Pan Zhang said: "Wen Xiang, although Cao Ren and Li Tong retreated, they had to be guarded. Be cautious along the way. ”

Xu Sheng hugged his fists and said: "I know that Jingling is entrusted to Wen Jue." ”

On the way, Xu Sheng led his troops to form a formation. I was also thinking in my heart, this was because I was Cao Jun, and I was afraid that I would have to do something like a half-volley. It's just the location of this ambush, where will Cao's army be located?

Along the way, they marched all the way, and when they arrived at Huarong City, they did not meet half of Cao's army. This enemy did not appear, but in Xu Sheng's heart, his fear was even heavier. Cao Ren, what do you want to do?

Cai Mao and Huang Shot can not be said to be careless. The means were exhausted, and the defenders of Huarong City were beaten to a wailing pattern, and after being exhausted, they had to ask for help from their own army. Now that Xu Sheng has led a new force again, the morale of the soldiers of Huarong City has suddenly risen. At the head of the city, there was a thunderous roar of joy.

And under the city, the Cao army who was besieging the city was demoralized. After fighting for a long time, I saw that I was about to succeed, but another enemy army came, how could I fight?

Cai Mao and Huang Jie were also speechless, so they had to order Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. Then the camp confronted Xu Sheng. Xu Sheng asked the Yamen general to bring 2,000 people into the city to assist in the defense, but he set up another village outside the city, and Huarong City was the horn of each other. Let's deal with Cao Jun together.

Cai Mao and Huang Jie were tired of the division veterans at this time, and they said in their hearts that this time it was over, and it was estimated that this Huarong City would not be able to defeat it for a while and a half. When there was nothing to be done, suddenly someone from outside the camp came to report that there were guests coming to Gangneung.

Cai Mao and Huang Zhu came out to greet him. But I saw a person standing outside the tent, dressed in a Confucian robe, with a sword hanging from his waist, it was none other than Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan's time was called a celebrity, when he moved to Jingzhou to avoid the war, he was regarded as a guest by Liu Biao, although he did not respond to Liu Biao's expedition, but he was often a guest of Jingzhou's ministers. Cai and Huang are surnamed Jingzhou, and they are also familiar with Zhao Yan. Not to mention, they chose to give up Liu Biao and vote for Cao Cao together.

So when they saw Zhao Yan coming, Cai Mao and Huang Zhu couldn't help but be overjoyed, Cai Mao said: "Boran, why are you here?" ”

Zhao Yan was ordered by Cao Ren to lead a group of men and horses to follow Cai Mao's army, but it was originally planned that it would be best to wait for Cai Mao and others to fight with Huarong City to defeat each other, and then he would come out to attack Cao Jun to pick up cheap.

But Zhao Yan was in the army, thinking about it left and right, and felt that he still had to try his best to save Cai Mao and Huang Jie. Although he didn't look down on these two people very much, after all, there was a bit of incense and old love, but he couldn't bear to see them die under Huarong City.

Hearing this, Xu Sheng led the army to help. Zhao Yan felt that if he didn't come forward to give Cai and Huang a reassurance, it would be really difficult to say where this battle would go. Cai Mao and Huang Jie led the old department of Jingzhou, and the combat effectiveness of these people, although there are Cao Jun's veterans mixed with sand in it, but how much they can improve, Zhao Yan really has no bottom. And if these people can't win the battle, it is very likely that they will scatter in a hurry.

So Zhao Yan appeared today.

Seeing Cai Mao ask, Zhao Yan smiled and said, "I am coming for Yangzhou reinforcements." ”

Cai Mao welcomed Zhao Yan into the tent, and after the guest and host sat down, he said with a happy face: "How many soldiers and horses did Bo Ran bring?" ”

Zhao Yan said: "Six thousand armor soldiers! ”

Huang Jian was disappointed when he heard this, six thousand people, what use can it be. Just looking at the reinforcements from Yangzhou, the number is more than 6,000. Coupled with the city wall as the backing, how can Huarong City be breached?

Cai Mao listened and sighed in her heart. There are fewer people. However, the size of a mosquito is also meat. There were countless casualties on his side, and with the addition of 6,000 fresh troops, at the very least, safety was guaranteed. Well, it doesn't look like it's going to be abandoned at the moment.

Thinking of this, a smile bloomed on Cai Mao's face. Said: "It's okay, since Bo Ran comes, there will be a strategy to break the enemy to teach me." After speaking, his eyes lit up and he looked at Zhao Yan fixedly.

Huang Zhu listened, and suddenly understood in his heart. Zhao Boran must have been confident, otherwise he would have come with six thousand men and horses to send him to death? So he also looked at Zhao Yan eagerly. I hope he shows the way. broke this Huarong City early, in order to establish the prestige of their Jingzhou generals.

Zhao Yan took the initiative to show up now, and he really thought of a way. He said: "I and you join forces, continue to attack the city, put on a posture of not giving up with Huarong, and then make people spread rumors, saying that the Yangzhou army has been tricked by our army to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, and this time to lure it to help, just so that our army will besiege Jingling again." When the Yangzhou army heard that something was going on in the tomb, it must have been unstable. When the time comes, I will take the opportunity to hit it again, and I will be able to break it! ”

When Cai Mao and Huang Zhu heard this, their hearts turned, and they immediately clapped their palms and laughed. Zhao Boran is worthy of Yingchuan celebrities, and he has his own splendid chest and abdomen. If Zhao Yan's plan is carried out, the Yangzhou army will definitely be suspicious.

At that time, is it important to continue to stay here and consume yourself, or is it important to go back to save Jingling? Huarong is not as good as Jingling. If Jingling is lost, the sailors of your own army can go straight down the river and attack Xiakou Qiyue City.

The three of them deliberated carefully, and then acted accordingly.

On the second day, after burying the pot to make rice, Cai Mao and Huang Jie beat the drum and raised the tent. Command the three armies to continue the siege. In this way, they will have a bottom in their hearts, and their spirits will be different. The two of them took the lead in going to the front line and beating drums to cheer. The shouts of killing resounded throughout the day. The two armies were killed all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river, and then they stopped.

The next day, it was the same again.

At this time, Xu Sheng's heart was even more suspicious. There was no trace of Cao's army along the way. Now that I see the reinforcements coming, I am even more excited, and I use my strength to attack the city, why is this?

Among them, there must be ghosts!

Xu Sheng was thinking, this ghost, where is it? was thinking wildly, when someone suddenly came to report, saying that he had captured a prisoner, and tortured him to get a piece of information.

Xu Sheng took it and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed greatly. He asked, "Is this true?" ”

The lieutenant in charge of intelligence arched his hand and said, "General, all the prisoners in Cao's camp know about this matter, and I think this is Cao Jun's long-term strategy." ”

When Xu Sheng heard this, his heart was like numbness, where was there any thought to help prevent Huarong, a heart, he had already flown to Jingling. Jingling, there must be no trouble!

Zhao Yan actually didn't know that he had let people spread a rumor, not only did the soldiers in his army believe it, Xu Shengxin believed it, but also Lingcheng, which would really be surrounded by Cao Ren and Li Tong.
