Chapter 708: Zang Ba Goes South
After the Great War in Yuzhou, the pressure on Jingzhou's side was great. Because whether it was Cao Cao or Sun Ce, neither of them expected that Liu Bei would suddenly intervene. Therefore, it will naturally be too late to adjust the strategy.
Now it is difficult for the two families to ride the tiger, no matter what Liu Bei will do, they are bound to compete for a high position in Jingzhou. Now Cao Cao reacted in a timely manner, decisively gave up his interests in Yuzhou, and turned to fight for Jingzhou with all his might.
With Zang Ba and Xiahou Yuan going south, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu in Jiangxia also felt that the pressure was too great and they couldn't stand it. So he wrote to Sun Ce again and again and asked Sun Ce for help.
On the side of Yuzhou, Guan Yu ordered Gan Ning and Wen Ping to withdraw after Zhang Fei took care of Peixian's affairs, and then rely on Xuzhou to attack Peiguo in an all-out way. As for Zhang Fei, he would lead his troops and continue westward, from Xiayi into the Liang Kingdom. In this way, he and Tai Shici, one east and one west, echoed each other from afar, clamping down Li Dian in Suiyang City.
After the Yuzhou War, officials from all over Yuzhou were looking at each other to see who would win and who would lose, and then make their own choices as soon as possible.
In the first battle of Peixian, Xiahou Yuan was defeated and led the army away. Liu Yao, the contemporary king of Pei, is naturally also very familiar with current affairs, and as soon as the Xuzhou army arrived, he led the local officials to open the city to welcome him.
Liu Yao has been in power for more than a decade. The whole world is in turmoil, and their clansmen are actually not having a good time. In the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, the phenomenon of princes and kings leaning to one side has long disappeared. Otherwise, how could there be princes and kings who died in the Yellow Turban Rebellion?
Liu Yao trembled in Xiangxian County, struggling to maintain, and no one dared to offend, for fear that he would lose the glory passed down from his ancestors because of himself. If this is the case, when he dies and goes underground, how will he see the previous kings?
However, Liu Yao was still very happy about the arrival of the Xuzhou army. Anyway, this is also the army of the Son of Heaven. It's my own family. It has to be supported!
Of course, if there is support, there will naturally be opposition. Pei Guo governs Xiang County, and Yuzhou Thorn History Department governs Qian County. Both counties are within the territory of Peiguo. Therefore, in history, the two counties did not deal with each other, and it was often the case. The performance of Xiangxian County was naturally introduced to Qian County. Qian County is Cao Cao's old nest, and the Cao family and the Xiahou family are here, and their influence is huge.
There are also many people who feel that Cao Cao did not fail. At the beginning, he only owned the land of Yan and Henan, but now, he still owns all of Yizhou and parts of Jingzhou and Yuzhou. Moreover, the Jingzhou war has the upper hand. It's beneficial, Jing is in hand, maybe one day it will come back.
Therefore, these people also secretly reported to the Cao clan's forces. Peiguo's every move, the wind and grass, were all discovered by Cao Jun. Cao Jun knew that after the Han army had the help of King Pei in Peiguo, he also accelerated his pace.
After Zang Ba went south, he lurked in Xinxi, a county in the south of Runan. Taking advantage of Jiangxia's unpreparedness, he led his troops to bypass Luoshan and appeared behind Huangxian. Then the night attack on Huangxian County was successful.
The defenders of Huangxian County, although they were next to Runan, never took the enemy of Runan seriously. Because behind Luan County, the north is Luoshan and Guangshan. The two mountain ranges are a natural barrier. Therefore, the defenders of Huangxian County have always only been guarding against the enemy in the direction of Nanyang. Zang Ba went south too suddenly, and this time, he beat Huangxian County. So caught off guard, Huangxian County fell.
Zang Ba attacked Dehuang County, but he was still not satisfied, and ordered the three armies to blockade the whole city and isolate the news. Then he raised troops and rushed to Yuguo County. In order to gain time, Zang Ba asked the troops to fully change into the uniforms of the Yangzhou Army, and then went to the country.
When the defenders of the country saw an army of more than 2,000 people coming under the banner, they couldn't help but be suspicious. Even under the banner of Huangxian, he remained cautious and did not open the city gate immediately. but a routine inquiry in the city.
Zang Ba pretended to be a pawn, stood behind the military Sima of Huangxian County, and said softly: "Whether you are dead or alive, it is all in your thoughts." Before you talk back, think more about your wife, children, and mother. Go for it. ”
The military Sima who was taken hostage came out, bowed his hand to the city, and said, "General Zhang, it's me." ”
When the guard at the head of the city saw Sima of the Huangxian Army, his heart was relieved, and the whole person relaxed, and said: "Lao Wang, it turned out to be you, you are not happy in Huangxian, and you are leading the army to do something with me." ”
Wang Sima hesitated on his face, and took a few steps forward, so he could reach the moat, so he said in a loud voice: "General, Huangxian has fallen, and the army behind you is dressed by Cao Jun. The general hastened to take precautions. The person behind me is the ...... of Cao Jun."
Before he finished speaking, Zang Ba pulled out his sword and swung it into two sections.
At the head of the city, General Zhang also reacted immediately, so he shouted: "The enemy is attacking, the archers are coming quickly!" ”
After a few breaths, a rain of arrows fell from the city. Zang Ba and the others saw that they could not deceive the city, so they had to lead the army to retreat first. In the camp, Zang Ba was furious. He thought that after taking this hostage, the thief would follow his idea and coax the city gate open. Who would have thought that this Wang Sima really disregarded his personal life and death and the safety of his family, and resolutely chose to expose it.
Wang Sima spoke quickly and quickly, and Zang Ba didn't react for a while. When he drew his sword, Wang Sima almost lifted his old bottom.
A good plan, but now, it has become a hot potato. Zang Ba is naturally popular. Since Wang Sima chose a different path, of course, he had to bear the price. Zang Ba calmed down his mood and gave an order: "Go to Huang County, pass my order, and destroy this family." ”
Now that you've made your choice, let's reunite your family. If you say kill your whole family, you will kill your whole family, are you kidding me?
Since Yixian County knows, then Xiyang to the east of Yixian County will naturally know, and Xiyang will know, so Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu of Xiakou will naturally know.
Zang Ba thought to himself, since he can't get it, then he will be hard. It's hard to stop me from being a small country. Zhou Yu divided his troops to help, that couldn't be better. As long as Xia Kou divides his troops, the pressure on Zixiao's side will be greatly reduced, and it will be easier to deal with Zhou Yu and others. It can be regarded as indirectly helping Zixiao.
Just do it. Zang Ba simply left only a thousand people to guard Huang County, and then ordered all the soldiers and horses to besiege Yu County. The general of the country knew that it was the Cao army who was coming, so he naturally did not dare to slack off, but the four doors were closed and he was waiting for help.
As Zang Ba expected, the general of the country sent the news out as soon as possible. After the Xiyang guard got the news, he sent a flying horse to the Xiakou camp in the starry night to inform Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu.
Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were also taken aback when they got the news. Knowing that Nanyang Cao's army would definitely come for reinforcements, he didn't expect it to come so quickly. It seems that we have to urge the lord to send reinforcements quickly.
Before Wang Sima died, he didn't have time to say Zang Ba's name, so the defenders of the state only passed on the news of Cao's attack. Zhou Yu and others only thought that it was Nanyang's Cao army that was dispatched, but they didn't know that it was the Yuzhou soldiers who came.
