Chapter 625: The Battle in Yizhou

In Yizhou, Cao Cao surrounded Mianzhu and attacked fiercely. The Central Plains is eventful, and Yanzhou is in danger. He was burning in his heart, and he couldn't wait to break through Yizhou immediately, and then return to the north to save Yanzhou.

It's just that the Cao army is brave, but the Yizhou army is not short of brave generals. Although Pang Xi couldn't even win against Zhang Lu, he now had Liu Zhang's authorization to recruit soldiers who were good at fighting in the Quanyizhou army. Because it was a "war to destroy the country" related to their own vital interests, the local heroes of Yizhou, who abandoned their official positions and abandoned their armor after encountering Zhao Wei's rebellion, came out of the mountain again one by one.

Zhang Ren, Liu Bi, Leng Bao, and Deng Xian are the four outstanding representatives. The four generals gathered under the command of Pang Xi, a native of Dongzhou, and made great contributions to resisting the invasion of foreign forces in Mianzhou. It can be said that if it weren't for Zhang Ren and others trying their best to help, Mianzhou would have been broken by Cao Cao a long time ago.

At the end of the siege on this day, Zhang Ren watched the Cao army under the city slowly retreat, and couldn't help but sigh. Liu Bi next to him saw it and said, "Why do you sigh when you care about it?" ”

Zhang Rendao: "With Cao Cao's ability, I don't know how long I can hold Yizhou." ”

Liu Bi said: "There is enough money and silk, and the people are happy to fight, so why can't you refuse Cao Cao." ”

Zhang Ren said: "Otherwise, since the loss of Jia Meng, it is difficult to revitalize the morale of the army, if the war is protracted, after witnessing the dead and wounded, I am afraid that everyone will be tired of the war." ”

Liu Bi said: "Although Zhao Wei acted against the grain, but at the time, why did Jia Meng be like this? "In the rebellion of Zhao Wei, the people of Dongzhou and Yizhou killed each other, and the generals such as Gan Ning and Shen Mi went to Jingzhou and attached themselves to Liu Biao. Yizhou can be described as a big injury.

Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "If Zhao Wei supported the third prince back then, why would it be like this." The reason why Zhang Lu divided Hanzhong and Ba County to stand on his own was that he was dissatisfied with Zhao Wei's support for Liu Zhang. If Yizhou is dominated by Liu Mao, how can there be today's embarrassment.

Liu Bi was shocked when he heard this, looked left and right, and saw that the soldiers were all right, so he lowered his voice and said to Zhang Ren: "Why did Zi say this, Pang Xi is the lord's cronies, and he must prevent the partition wall from having ears." "At this time, you can't talk nonsense, Pang Xi is in power, don't annoy him, catch and cut down the sacrificial flag, that is really a wrongful death.

Zhang Ren listened, sneered, and said, "Have I ever said half a sentence wrong?" Liu Bi was blocked for a while, and he was speechless.

After Cao Cao collected his troops, Pang Xi's military discussion was just to let the chief bookkeeper of the army record the merits and report the results. After listening to the lengthy figures, Zhang Ren came out of the queue and said to Pang Xi: "General, it is very inappropriate for the heavy troops in our state to be stationed here. From Jiangzhou, you can also go up against the big river, take Jiangyang, Yandao, and attack Qianwei. In this way, Shu County is in danger, and I see that Qian's troops are insufficient, and I also ask the general to play the lord and make plans as soon as possible. ”

Pang Xi has been exhausted and exhausted for several days, and after listening to Zhang Ren's words at this time, he barely opened his eyes when he was closing his eyes and recuperating, glanced at Zhang Ren, sighed lightly in his nose, and said, "I know." And he said no more.

Zhang Ren heard Pang Xi's agreement, and his heart was also relieved. When the generals retreated, the chief secretary asked Pang Xi: "Does the general want to increase his troops?" The lowly side will report on the future. ”

Pang Xi will come to his senses, he thought about it, and said, "Zhang Renzhi's words are reasonable, and it will be reported to you." ”

When the report arrived in Chengdu, the ministers saw it, and it turned out that they were going to increase their troops again, and suddenly there was a good quarrel. Many people think that Mianzhu and Ruoxian are the key, and as long as they hold this line of defense, everything will be fine. As for Qianwei, the ministers believed that Cao Cao's attack on Mianzhu was already quite difficult, how could he dare to divide his troops at this time?

When Huang Quan heard this, he couldn't help but say: "What General Pang said is very true, if Cao Cao attacks Qianwei with a partial division, such as the story of Jia Meng, Qianwei is unprepared and trapped, and Shu County is in danger." The lord, the minister, please follow the advice of General Pang and send troops to help defend Qianwei. ”

Zhang Song also seconded the motion. Liu Zhang looked left and right, and still decided to send troops, after all, at a critical moment, there can be no mistakes. Even if Pang Xi guessed wrong, at most it would consume some money and food. If that's true, that's a big deal.

When it comes to sending troops, the question arises again, who is the general? Liu Zhang looked at His Highness, and most of the ministers lowered their heads to avoid Liu Zhang's gaze. There are only a few people who are eager to try.

Huang Quan saw that no one dared to respond, and said in his heart a group of rats. So he came out and said: "The lord is the lord, and the minister is willing to be the general." Out of the town of Qianwei. ”

Liu Zhang was about to agree. But there are people who oppose it. The human heart is like this, that is, it does not want to take risks, and it does not want to see others in the limelight. So he said: "The army is outside, and it is difficult for those who have no authority to system." Gongheng doesn't know soldiers, how can he be a general? The ministers raised the eldest prince as a general, and went out of the town to be a general. ”

When Huang Quan heard this, his heart suddenly became angry, when has this been, and he is still fighting for power? Let you serve, and you will retreat. I stand up for myself and you oppose it, what do you want to do? The eldest prince is just a child, how can he be a general?

was about to speak out against it, but when the words came to his mouth, he was suddenly stunned. Liu Xun is Liu Zhang's eldest son and his future lord, and now that others are raising Liu Xun to command the army, what can he oppose. Oppose Liu Xun and can't lead the troops? If you say this, I am afraid that the palace will make another noise, and if you delay the dispatch of troops, you will be affected. Huang Quan couldn't help but be silent for a while, so he stopped speaking.

When the opponents saw Huang Quan extinguishing the flames, they couldn't help but be proud. Liu Zhang saw that His Royal Highness's ministers had no objections, so he thought that Cao Cao's army was in Mianzhu, and Qianwei should be fine. Make your own arrangements, and you should be foolproof. Although Xun'er is young, it is time to practice. When I was young, didn't I stay in Luoyang as a proton?

So he took Liu Xun as the general, led the army with the deputy general, and led the troops to Qianwei. At this time, Liu Xun was only twelve years old. Huang Quan saw that the lord was like this, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how could the military affairs be such a child's play, how unwise the lord was. However, there are finally soldiers to Qianwei, which can prevent the sneak attack of the Cao army. Huang Quan felt a little relieved.

Zhang Song returned home, and his heart was even more anxious. Although he is not good-looking, he is actually very intelligent. He felt that what Pang Xi said was very reasonable. Cao Cao used his soldiers and was full of wit. Taking advantage of the heavy snow and the New Year's Festival, the raid on Jia Meng has already proved his ability. It is not a strange thing to divide the troops to attack Qianwei. However, except for Huang Quan and others, none of the people in the palace could see through it. No, maybe they can see through it, but they don't bother to see it.

The lord did not pay attention to Pang Xi's words, but instead regarded the child as a general and regarded the military as a child's play, which was extremely mediocre. If Cao Jun really comes, Qianwei will definitely not be protected. When Shu County is in danger, where will he go? Descending to Caohu? Everything?

Soon, the news that the eldest prince was the general and the news of bringing troops to aid Qianwei also spread to Mianzhu, and Zhang Ren was first stunned when he heard it, and then laughed angrily. While they are desperately working in front, they are also racking their brains to make suggestions for the rear and fill in the gaps. I didn't expect that the group of pigs in the rear would return in this way.
