Chapter 665
broke Wuyang City and received sufficient replenishment in Wuyang, Cao Hong naturally would not give up. So after resting in Wuyang for a few days, he raised troops to move forward and threatened Chengdu.
This time, no one dared to fight. Liu Zhang had not woken up from a coma, and everyone was helpless, only Huang Quan took the initiative to ask for help, leading 8,000 soldiers and horses to resist Cao Hong.
Huang Quan was in the hall and said: "Cao's army has experienced a hundred battles, fierce and difficult to defeat, the morale of our army has been lost, if there is no army, it may be difficult to stop Cao Hong, I ask 10,000 strong soldiers, go out of the city to attack Cao Hong!" ”
Where are the ministers, there are still soldiers and horses in the city, but they still have to rely on these soldiers and horses to guard the capital. What if the soldiers and horses give you the yellow power, and you are defeated, then what will we do?
So he didn't listen, and only urged Huang Quan to get out of the city quickly. Fight with Cao Hong.
The news of the loss of Qianwei finally reached Mianzhu, and when Zhang Ren and others heard it, they couldn't help but scold: "A bunch of fools have already explained the danger of Qianwei, and they are still so careless that they are defeated and die." It's really self-inflicted! It's just a pity that the eldest prince and my Yizhou soldiers are so innocent! ”
Pang Xi knew that Liu Xun was dead, and he couldn't help but be confused, he and Liu Yan were good friends, and he was even closer to Liu Zhang, and his daughter was promised to Liu Xun, but there was such a news.
Qianwei is lost, the backyard is on fire, so is there any hope for sticking to Mianzhu here? Hearing that Liu Zhang was unconscious, Pang Xi was shocked, so he summoned the generals and said: "Jincheng has suffered a great change, and the rear is restless, I want to raise troops to return to calm people's hearts." You can be strictly guarded, and you must not be slack! ”
Zhang Ren listened, was in a hurry, stepped forward, hugged his fists and said: "General, the more urgent Cao Cao's siege is, Mianzhu's original strength is already insufficient, if the general returns to Chengdu, where the dragons are leaderless, how can it be the enemy of Cao's army outside the city?" Please think again, general! ”
Behind him, the rest of the generals also stood up, bowed and said, "Please think twice, general!" ”
Pang Xi was furious and said, "Do you want to force me? I've made up my mind, so I can retreat quickly! ”
Pang Xi's mind was already all in Chengdu, for fear that after Liu Zhang fell into a coma, the ministers in the rear would take the opportunity to make ghosts and seize his power. At this time, where is there still a mind to put in Mianzhu. In his opinion, Mianzhu is a strong city, and the soldiers and food are sufficient, how can Cao Cao attack it for a while.
Pang Xi has made up his mind, and Zhang Ren and others are not easy to persuade again. If he annoys Pang Xi and he uses military law to persecute him, then everyone's face will not look good.
Out of the mansion, Zhang Ren sighed and said: "Pity me for thousands of miles of fertile land in Yizhou, millions of people, will you return to the Cao family once?" ”
Leng Bao said indignantly: "If Guanzhong Zhao Yunken sent troops to help, why is this so? ”
When Liu Zhang was lost in Hanzhong before, he sent letters to both Guanzhong and Liu Bei, asking them to lend a hand to support Yizhou. How Liu Bei didn't want to help Liu Zhang, he was really powerless.
There is really no way to govern such a big stall, to balance the increasingly large forces of all parties, and to attack Yanzhou.
As for Guan Liang's soldiers and horses, Guan Liang's previous warlords were in a mess, and Guanzhong, which was fertile for thousands of miles, was full of white bones and wilderness when it fell into the hands of Liu Bei, and it was deserted. In a Xiongcheng like Chang'an, the population has fled, let alone other places.
On the contrary, it is a rebellious soldier who has fallen into the grass, and there are many mountain bandits and heroes who have plagued the locality. After Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu sat in Guan and Liang, they had to recruit displaced people to open up wasteland and farm, and on the other hand, they had to send troops everywhere to suppress and caress them. In addition, in such a large territory, in addition to relying on the Qingzhou shogunate to appoint officials, there are also a large number of vacancies, and it is necessary to announce to the counties and counties so as to recruit talents. In addition, they also have to undertake logistics such as grain, grass, soldiers and horses in the Western Regions.
Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun were so busy that they hit the back of their heads, and where could they take care of Yizhou. Not to mention how steep and difficult it is to go from Guanliang to Yizhou, between the Qinling Mountains. Cao Cao was not defenseless, Chen Cangdao and Wugu sent heavy troops to defend. Even if Guan Liang's soldiers come, they won't be able to please him for a while.
Zhang Ren could see clearly: "Guan and Liang are initially decided, and General Zhao is afraid that he will have more than enough heart and not enough strength." King Zhongshan attacked Yanzhou in the north, and he did his best. ”
It can be regarded as containing Cao Cao's forces more or less, if Liu Bei does not move in the north, then Cao Cao, who has no worries, is afraid that Yizhou will be attacked and defeated long ago.
It's too late to say anything now, Qianwei has been lost, the rear is in chaos, and even Pang Xi on the Mianzhu front line is in a hurry to run back. Could it be that as the commander of the army, Pang Xi doesn't know what impact his departure will have on the army? Zhang Ren didn't believe that Pang Xi didn't know, but Pang Xi knew that he had to go back, which showed that Chengdu was in danger.
Cao Cao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he found Pang Xi to go back to the capital, and called the generals and said: "Pang Xi is leaving, this is a rare opportunity for our army." The generals of Mianzhu, no one to command, will definitely cause chaos. Our army can storm Mianzhu to break it. If Mianzhu is down, Chengdu is an enemy before and after, why can Liu Jiyu stop me? ”
All the generals have asked for help, willing to be the vanguard.
So early the next morning, with the drums rumbling, Cao's army began the siege battle again.
Zhang Ren was in the city, and when he saw Cao Jun's momentum, he was worried. After the defenders in the city knew that Pang Xi led his troops to leave Mianzhu, the army was in turmoil, and they didn't know who had lost Qianwei during the period. It made the Yizhou army have no fighting spirit.
Many of their families are in Chengdu, and now I heard that Cao Jun broke Wuyang City, and the soldiers pointed directly at Chengdu, where do they still have any thoughts about defending the city, and they are all worried about their parents, wives and children in the rear. Looking at it this way, Zhang Ren felt that there was no need to fight this battle. Cao Cao's attack on Mianzhu is a foregone conclusion.
Zhang Ren was not reconciled, so he summoned all the soldiers, climbed the heights and shouted: "All the soldiers, Chengdu is indeed in danger!" However, Chengdu is a strong city, the soldiers are full of food, and General Pang has come back to help. Cao Jun's division is less than 5,000, so what is there to fear? It's all right! As a soldier, if you don't guard Mianzhu wholeheartedly, if Mianzhu is lost, Chengdu will be the real danger, and at that time, Chengdu will be attacked by Cao's army before and after, and the city will be broken! Do you have to watch Chengdu fall into the flames of war? ”
The generals behind him saw that the three armies in the audience were looking at Zhang Ren intently, so they raised their right arms and shouted: "Defend the city!" Fight the enemy! ”
The sergeants in the audience heard that there were only 5,000 Cao troops in Qianwei, and their hearts were suddenly settled. Many of them are originally Chengdu people, and they know the situation in Chengdu. Knowing that there are only 5,000 people, there is nothing they can do about it. General Pang Xi led his troops back to help, and his worries were gone. After listening to Zhang Ren's analysis again, I suddenly felt that it was reasonable.
If nothing happens to them, but they lose Mianzhu, it will be the worst thing. So, for the sake of the parents, wives and children behind, the Yizhou soldiers worked hard.
Cao Jun found that the siege was more difficult.
