Chapter 657: The Decisive Battle of Yanzhou (6)
Xiahoudun retreated, and Zhang Fei and Tai Shici surrounded Snake Hill.
At this time, Ma Chao's department had also completed the supplementary training and was transferred to serve under Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei's soldiers were well fed, and with the help of Cao Ren, Xiahoudun was also bold, and led his troops to Gang County, wanting to support Snake Hill.
Zhang Fei had Ma Chao, a new cavalry, in his hands, so he was unwilling to slowly consume a city and a pool with Cao Jun. How long will this last?
So while besieging Snake Hill, Ma Chao led troops to become slightly rich, and harassed the counties in Dongping. In the city of Snake Hill, Zang Ba looked at the dense Han army outside the city, and his face was gloomy like water.
Next to Sun Guan said: "Xuangao, our army is newly defeated, the soldiers are scattered, this Xiahou general abandoned us and left, the army in the city is unstable, and the snake hill is difficult to defend." But you have to plan ahead. ”
Zang Ba still hasn't figured out what Xiahoudun means. But he didn't bother to think about things he couldn't figure out. After listening to what Sun Guan said, he said: "If you can keep it for a day, you will keep it for a day." If you can keep it for two days, you will keep it for two days. ”
Since the Yanzhou strategy has been decided, it is a procrastination trick, so let's delay it here for a few more days. I really couldn't hold it, so I had to retreat.
Ma Chao led the headquarters and soared all the way to Fucheng. He is already familiar with the matter of harassing the place. I did a good job in Chenliu before. Therefore, the counties were turned upside down along the way, and there was no peace.
Ma Chao also wanted to repeat the old trick, but unfortunately when Chen Liu's accident happened, Cheng Yu gave an order because Yin Jian was not far away, so that the counties could not hold out in the face of the enemy when there were insufficient soldiers and horses. Don't miss it.
As for the people outside the city, they can't take care of that much for the time being.
Ma Chao saw that he couldn't lure the county defenders, and he was not in a hurry. Anyway, Zhang Fei didn't give him any other instructions in front of him, just let him sabotage. Okay, let's go all the way along Fucheng. Because the main forces of Yanzhou are basically gathered on the front line of Dongping and Rencheng, Ma Chao has taken advantage of this loophole, all the way from Xuchang and Fanxian to Jiyin's Qiuqiu.
Ma Chao is like no one here, and Cheng Yu and the others can't sit still. So Fei sent a letter to Xiahoudun. Cheng Yu's meaning is very clear in the letter. We can stop meddling in military operations, but you also have to block the Han army in front.
When Xiahou arrived in Gangxian and received a letter from Cheng Yu, he couldn't help but be furious when he heard that Ma Chao was stirring up the wind and rain in the rear.
So he wrote to Cao Ren to ask him. Cao Ren also had a headache.
It's not that he can't help it, he also leads a cavalry, and with the cooperation of the county soldiers, of course, he can drive Ma Chao. It's just that his task is to hold the gate of Zhangxian, so as not to break the snake hill, the Han army will go against the water, and behind Zhangxian, even Dongping will have no salt. Sooner or later, Snake Hill will not be able to be saved, if he leads his troops to chase Ma Chao at this time, Snake Hill is broken, and the general is not there, how can Dongping Kingdom hold it?
After entering the territory of Yiqiu, Ma Chao saw that Xiqiu could not be attacked, so he led his troops to defeat Yuncheng next to Dayozawa. Across a large Nozawa, it is Changyi, so how can the ministers in Changyi City sit still. The emergency report flew forward like snowflakes. Who knows when Ma Chao will drive a fishing boat across Onozawa?
Yanzhou war clouds are thick, Xiahou Yuan will naturally not be idle in Yuzhou, after he returned from defeat, he recruited 30,000 young men in Yuzhou and trained them into an army. Then the soldiers came out of Xiaopei.
Xiaopei is Pei County, because it is different from Peiguo, so people call it Xiaopei. Xiaopei has obvious geographical advantages, belonging to Yuzhou, but it is like a sharp sword inserted in the middle of the Yanzhou Thorn History Department in the north and the Xuzhou Thorn History Department in the east. Xiahou Yuan's troops were stationed in Xiaopei, and he could support Yanzhou in the north at any time, or turn east to attack Xuzhou at any time he wished.
Seeing this, Guan Yu did not show weakness, so that Wu Kuang guarded Pengcheng and ordered Wen to be hired out of Xiao County. Put on a posture that you Xiahou Yuan will beat your hometown as long as you dare to move.
Xiahou Yuan secretly sent a letter to Yangzhou and persuaded Sun Jian to send troops: "Brother Wentai, Xuande is very difficult to control today, and with his two generals, he will move my Yanzhou foundation." If Yanzhou is not protected, Yuzhou will also be difficult to defend. If Yuzhou is lost, there is no barrier in the north of Yangzhou, and there is a big river, how to block the army of Xuande tiger and wolf? I want to raise troops to the north today, and I hope that Brother Wentai will send troops to stop Yun Chang for me. ”
During this time, there were successive major wars in the north, and Yangzhou was allied with Cao Cao, but Jiujiang was recovered because of the situation in the north. After getting Jiujiang, Yangzhou was overjoyed, so he stopped fighting Liu Bei's forces, and devoted himself to practicing his internal skills in Yangzhou, thinking about strengthening himself as soon as possible in order to plan for the future.
After receiving a letter from Xiahou Yuan, Sun Jian summoned Sun Ce and asked him what he was going to do.
In fact, this will make the decision-makers in Yangzhou upper-level also in a dilemma.
Sun Jian and Sun Ce are ambitious, and Zhou Yu and Lu Su are also full of ambition. It's just that they have already understood the fact that Liu Bei's unification of the north is inevitable. It's just a matter of time. And if you want to struggle a little more on your side, in order to confront the north. Unless it is to go up the river to take Jingzhou first, and then take Xichuan. Then, with the danger of mountains and rivers, it divided the world with the north. As for the southern expedition to the north, unless the north is in chaos under Liu Bei's rule, they will not dare to think about it.
In history, from Sun Jian to Sun Ce, and then to Sun Quan, the father and son have attacked Jingzhou for many years, and it is this strategy that supports them. It's a pity that Liu Biao is not a vegetarian either. stubbornly withstood the attack of the Yangzhou army. By the time Cao Cao went south to Jingzhou, Yangzhou had already lost its time advantage.
But with such an obvious strategy, there are not only these smart people in Yangzhou. Obviously, Cao Cao also expected this problem. After realizing that he was not Liu Bei's opponent in the north, Cao Cao quickly led his army south, first fighting Yangzhou for Jingzhou, and then after obtaining the essence of the three counties of Jingxiang, he turned his head and fought to Yizhou.
Cao Cao is a competitor of Yangzhou!
But this competitor has to send troops to help him and deal with Liu Bei together. Do you think Sun Jian can feel comfortable in his heart?
Sun Ce read the letter, and his heart was also indescribable. Yangzhou and Yuzhou dragged Liu Bei together, but the ultimate goal was for Cao Cao to pacify Yizhou as soon as possible. It's too ...... to make wedding clothes for others
However, Sun Ce is rational after all. He knew that what Xiahou Yuan said was right. If Yanzhou is captured by Liu Bei, how long can Yuzhou resist?
Yuzhou can't hold it, will Liu Bei's army stop his footsteps on the north bank of the river?
Perhaps, Liu Bei will not attack Yangzhou, but will attack Jingzhou and Yizhou first?
There is such a possibility, but hope cannot be pinned on the enemy, Yangzhou must take the initiative. Moreover, there are four counties in Jingzhou, which also belong to Yangzhou.
Sun Ce then said: "Father, Yanzhou is too far away, so there is no need to say more, but Yuzhou, no matter what, we have to protect it." ”
Xiahou Yuan is really going to lose Yuzhou, and Guan Yu's Xuzhou soldiers will be able to hit Yangzhou in minutes.
Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
