The time is already the Mid-Autumn Festival season of the 26th year of Jian'an. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, there were mainly two and a half battlefields in Huaxia, one was the battlefield in Liangzhou, the other was the battlefield in Juyongguan, and the remaining half of the battlefield was the battlefield against Guishan where Lu Ren was preparing for war.

Needless to mention, Lu Ren's side is going to carry out a large-scale voyage operation, and the corresponding preparations cannot be completed in a short time.

The situation at Juyong Pass is relatively stable, because the enemy under Juyong Pass is a partial division of the Xiongnu, not the main force of the Xiongnu, and the total strength is only tens of thousands. The original intention of such a force was to distract Cao Wei's attention as a feint, and of course, if something could be done, it would also plunder the Hebei region after breaking through Juyong Pass, and destroy Cao Wei's military and economy. However, this Xiongnu division was stopped by Juyong Pass, and suffered a lot of losses under the strategy formulated by Chen Gong, Zhou Yu and others, and was unable to attack in a short time.

So far, the main fighting is still concentrated in the Liangzhou area. To be more precise, Cao Pi sent troops from Chang'an to attack Anding, and Liu Bei sent troops from Hanzhong to attack Tianshui. And at this point, the main enemies faced by the Cao and Liu families were also slightly different, because the Western Regions Coalition Army ceded Anding County to the Xiongnu, and concentrated the main forces in Tianshui. In other words, the Western Regions Coalition successfully won over the Xiongnu, and then the Western Regions Coalition fought against Liu Bei, and the Xiongnu faced Cao Pi.

Chang'an has been plagued by the Xiongnu since ancient times, and the large plains west of Chang'an have always been conducive to the advantages of the nomadic cavalry such as the Xiongnu, so the battle Cao Pi has to face is not so easy to fight. Because of this, Cao Pi adopted the advice of his strategists in terms of tactics, and adopted a strategy of step-by-step and steady fighting, that is, the infantry corps maintained a stable formation and marched slowly, and when the enemy's cavalry attacked, he only met the enemy with a battle formation composed of spears, large shields and crossbows, and first established himself in an invincible position. When the enemy army broke and fled, they would not pursue, and the troops still steadily advanced towards Anding County. To put it simply, it is actually a typical "turtle shell tactic", which would rather be slower than steady.

Liu Bei's tactics are similar, because when it comes to the quantity and quality of cavalry, Liu Bei is still far inferior to Cao Pi, and Cao Pi still doesn't dare to easily use the limited cavalry at hand, so where will Liu Bei move?

Moreover, in terms of the overall strategic trend, Cao Pi won Anding and Liu Bei took Tianshui, then the two sides could reach a pincer attack on Wuwei in Liangzhou, and Wuwei is the most critical foothold of the Western Regions Alliance in the west of Liangzhou. When this situation is achieved, what will happen next...... Let's talk about it.

Speaking from the heart, whether it is Cao Pi or Liu Bei during this period, their troops are relatively capable of fighting, and the Xiongnu, these northern nomadic tribes, have long been not in their heyday, so when they really meet Cao Pi's main force, these Xiongnu troops are actually not much cheaper because of many factors.

To be precise, the Xiongnu in Linhan at that time were mainly Southern Xiongnu, who had a subordinate relationship with the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Southern Xiongnu who were attached to the Han Dynasty were placed in the Hetao area by the Han Dynasty. With the military strength of the Han Dynasty, he defeated the Northern Xiongnu many times, accepted a large number of descendants, and greatly increased his power.

However, due to the complex tribal composition of these Xiongnu, it is difficult to control and control, resulting in internal non-concealment, rebellions from time to time, and even many Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu were killed. Later, the Han Dynasty became more and more strict in its management of the Southern Xiongnu. After the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it happened repeatedly that the Southern Xiongnu were arrested, replaced, forced to death and even killed by officials of the Han Dynasty.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Yellow Turban Uprising and Dong Zhuo's dictatorship occurred, the Southern Xiongnu had internal strife, killed Shan Yu Qiangqu, and his son Zuoxian King Yu Fuluo ascended the throne. The participants were afraid of retaliation and did not recognize the new Shan Yu, so they set up another Shan Yu, and Yu Fuluo had to go to the Han Dynasty to appeal for help. It was the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, so he had to stay in Hedong. In 195, the Southern Xiongnu participated in the melee in the Central Plains, and in the original history, Cai Yan was captured and plundered by the Xiongnu at this time, but the current situation is that Lu Ren happened to catch up at that time, and he deliberately went to save Cai Yan.

These are not nonsense, until around 216, Lao Cao still detained Huchuquan Shan Yu as in the original history, and sent the Right Xian King to supervise the country, and divided the Southern Xiongnu into five departments and placed them in Pingyang County, and the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Dynasty was thus over.

The Sinicized Southern Xiongnu have always lived in the Hetao area, and Lao Cao divided the Xiongnu into five departments, namely left, right, south, north, and center, and placed them in Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Hebei. The nobles of each department were handsome, and later renamed as captains; Take the Han as the Sima to supervise. Liu Bao, the son of Yu Fuluo, is the left handsome.

In other words, the Xiongnu tribes at this time were actually relatively chaotic. And except for a few tribes, the attitude towards Han Ting is really not much better. Therefore, as long as there is a chance, these chaotic Hun tribes will want to jump out to do things, but due to the uneven heart, the combat effectiveness can not be fully integrated, and it is a typical individual battle, where there is a cheap to take advantage of and then flash people, only a few tribes that are a little bit of vision have formed an alliance and firmly dominated the stability...... They didn't really want to occupy Anding and the surrounding area. To be precise, the main purpose of this small alliance of the Xiongnu tribes was to use stability as a bargaining chip in the future, and to get the greatest benefits from Cao Pi as much as possible.

This kind of chaos of the Xiongnu tribe has created a situation that it is easy to fight, but if it is not easy to fight, it is indeed not easy to fight. It is very simple to say that it is easy to fight, and the scattered tribes cannot assemble a large-scale combat group, and Cao Pi may send a random force here to defeat it easily; It is difficult to say that it is difficult to fight because these tribes are too scattered, and the mess is a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, and their way of doing things is like a swarm of headless flies scurrying around, and Cao Pi also has a headache about this. But considering the current strategic trend, Cao Pi did not dare to rashly divide his troops to go out as flies and swatt flies.

By the beginning of September of the 26th year of Jian'an, Cao Pi's "Turtle Shell" army finally arrived in Anding and began to attack the county seat of Anding.

To tell the truth, the battle was not fierce at this time. The Xiongnu tribes who occupied stability mainly wanted to show their strength to Cao Pi and maximize the benefits for the subsequent negotiations, so they did not want to fight to the death with Cao Pi; In turn, Cao Pi also wanted to retain his own strength as much as possible, after all, he would also have the Western Regions Alliance and even Liu Bei in the future, so he didn't want to fight with the Xiongnu after discovering the intentions of the Xiongnu, but at the same time, he didn't want to let the Xiongnu take advantage of anything...... Well, the battle between the two sides is a little ruthless, but at the same time they maintain corresponding restraint, both are trying to use military force to force the other side to make concessions, and such a war situation is bound to reach a stalemate......

————————————————————

In Chang'an City, Zhao Yu was looking at the clear autumn sky in a daze. Regarding the current battle situation that has become like this, Zhao Yu is really powerless to complain. She is a person who has engaged in diplomatic work, and Lu Ren has reminded her a lot, so Zhao Yu knows that it is unrealistic to expect the Cao and Liu families to sincerely and wholeheartedly defend against foreign enemies. And all she can do is to make some fine-tuning to the Cao and Liu families as much as possible as a diplomat and liaison officer of a neutral force.

was in a daze here, someone rushed out of the communication room next to him, and when he saw Zhao Yu who was in a daze on the corridor, he hurriedly ran towards Zhao Yu, and shouted: "Rain girl!" Something is wrong!! ”

Zhao Yu was stunned: "What's the big deal?" ”

Seriously, Zhao Yu didn't know what would happen at this time. Based on the current situation alone, although the Cao and Liu families have their own ghosts, and the combat progress against the Xiongnu and the Western Regions coalition forces is relatively slow, but in general, it is slow and steady. If this situation continues, it is true that it will not be possible to drive the Xiongnu and the Western Regions coalition forces out of Liangzhou in a short period of time, but as long as there is no accident, it will only delay some more time. Judging from the current situation of Cao and Liu's two families, it seems that there will be no problems.

Zhao Yu picked it up and only glanced at it a few times, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his body, and hurriedly ordered the attendant: "Go and prepare the horse, I will go to see Wei Gong (referring to Cao Pi)." ”

After completing the internal integration work some time ago, Cao Pi personally sat in Chang'an to command the operation against the Xiongnu and the Western Regions coalition forces in order to further enhance his prestige. Due to the steady and somewhat slow progress in recent times, coupled with the fact that he was thinking about how to subdue the Xiongnu tribes in terms of stability, Cao Pi was somewhat tired at this time. When the guards reported to Cao Pi that Zhao Yu had asked to see him, Cao Pi was flipping through books in his house in order to further improve his Treatise.

I have to say here that Cao Pi is not Lao Cao after all. If it was replaced by Lao Cao's still being, Zhao Yu wouldn't have to be so troublesome to see Lao Cao at all, the doorman would be exempted from reporting anything, and Zhao Yu could run directly to Lao Cao's side. But after Lao Cao's death, Cao Pi took over, but Cao Pi liked to put him on the shelf, and those rules and etiquette were also moved out.

For this situation, although Zhao Yu will not be so angry, he is also really dissatisfied. The most important thing is that Zhao Yu knew very well in his heart that Cao Pi did this, in addition to putting his score, there was also a layer of meaning to demonstrate to Zhao Yu...... Cao Pi thought about Zhao Yu at the beginning, but was beaten by Zhao Yu. This hatred, Cao Pike has always remembered.

And Cao Pi's mentality...... Well, it's like the young man in modern society who pursues the goddess, but what he gets back is only the cold eyes and white eyes of the goddess. Therefore, after the hanging silk gains power, he will think of showing off and pretending to the original goddess13, in order to change from the goddess's attitude, and even get satisfaction from the goddess's groveling.

Of course, Cao Pi is not a sling, but Zhao Yu is not the so-called goddess who will flatter and flatter, so Cao Pi is destined to see some things. But then again, Cao Pi's identity is there after all, and Zhao Yu has to do what Cao Pi should do out of the restrictions of etiquette, which also makes Cao Pi's mind a little satisfied.

But at this moment, Zhao Yu was really a little angry. She had already rushed to Cao Pi's garden at this time, but because of the scores that Cao Pi had put up, it had taken five or six minutes for just a doorman's report and no one had come out to answer. In fact, this kind of thing is not once or twice, Zhao Yu knew that this was Cao Pi's deliberate attempt to make things difficult and put his horse on himself, and let himself stand here at the gate for a few minutes.

If this kind of thing comes at another time, Zhao Yu is a woman who knows the general situation and knows the severity, and she is too lazy to worry about Cao Pi in this kind of matter, so she usually doesn't come to Cao Pi if she has nothing to do. But this time it has been clearly stated that there is an emergency military situation, what else do you Cao Pi want to pose?

Finally, Zhao Yu was able to endure his temperament, and after waiting for a few minutes, he saw the doorman slowly running back and leading Zhao Yu in to see Cao Pi. Zhao Yuqiang suppressed the anger in his heart and followed the doorman inside. It's just that he saw that the doorman who led the way was still there slowly and leisurely moving forward, but Zhao Yu really couldn't help it, stretched out his hand and pulled out the doorman who was slowly leading the way, and hurried to the study where Cao Pi was.

She wasn't kidding. With Zhao Yu's movements, Cao Pi's guards could completely treat Zhao Yu as an assassin and kill him on the spot, so someone jumped out to stop Zhao Yu at that time and prepared to make a move. But what no one expected was that Zhao Yu reached into his arms, took out a talisman and lit it up in front of everyone:

"Get out of the way of this girl!!"

At this time, the general guards were not enough, but the guards with a slightly higher level and more seniority were all surprised, especially Xu Chu, who rushed to hear the news not far away, was even more shocked when he saw this talisman ribbon, so that all the guards hurriedly got out of the way.

The talisman in Zhao Yu's hand was given to Zhao Yu by Lao Cao, in order to allow Zhao Yu, as a liaison officer, to pass unhindered when necessary, but under normal circumstances, Zhao Yu would not take out this thing, and Zhao Yu would not need it when Lao Cao was there. Later, Lao Cao passed away, Cao Pi took over the work, Zhao Yu considered that Cao Pi's face always had to be taken care of, so he never showed this thing, and today he was really provoked by Cao Pi before it was revealed.

Cao Pi's guard team was left to him by Lao Cao, so veteran people like Xu Chu and other veteran figures recognized this talisman. Moreover, with Xu Yu's understanding of Zhao Yu, he knew that if Zhao Yu was not really in a hurry, he would not have shown this thing regardless of it. To be honest, Xu Chu is also a little unfamiliar with some of Cao Pi's behaviors, thinking that Cao Pi is really inferior to Lao Cao too much in some aspects.

Zhao Yu is a delicate lord, and when he saw Xu Chu appearing, he promptly confessed to Xu Chu, which was regarded as saving some face for Xu Chu and the others, and then asked Xu Chu to quickly bring himself to Cao Pi. Xu Chu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately led Zhao Yu to the study where Cao Pi was.

When Zhao Yu appeared at the door of Cao Pi's study, Cao Pi was a little surprised and a little dissatisfied, because Zhao Yu came here at least five minutes faster than Cao Pi expected. is still the same sentence, walking slower on the road and dragging on for more time makes Zhao Yu feel unhappy, and it is also a kind of revenge and disgrace from Cao Pi against Zhao Yu. And now what does it mean that Zhao Yu has arrived so soon?

However, when he saw the anger on Zhao Yu's face, Cao Pi's heart was secretly refreshed, because what Cao Pi wanted was Zhao Yu's reaction. And this is a bit not enough for Cao Pi, so he opened his mouth to make a fuss: "Miss Yu, no matter how I say that I am also the Duke of Wei of the Han Dynasty, and you are just an official under Lu Zhengnan, you can't even be polite when you see this duke today, is there a rude system?" Or are all your officials in Yizhou so clueless? ”

In the face of Cao Pi's difficulty, Zhao Yu's choice was to slam the talisman on the bookshelf where the scrolls were placed next to him with a "snap", and said with a cold face: "Cao Zihuan, if there is no emergency military situation in normal times, it is just that you have something difficult for me, after all, Lu Zhengnan has repeatedly warned me that foreign enemies have invaded the territory, don't care about these useless face battles, let me suffer a little grievance and let you be a little." But today, I have repeatedly reminded that there is an urgent military situation that cannot be delayed, but you still have to put up a score here.13 Then don't blame me for not saving face for you! ”

Cao Pi was also startled when he saw the talisman. There is no need to say much about the significance of the things left by Lao Cao, and Cao Pi naturally did not dare to slack off. Looking at Zhao Yu's cold face again, Cao Pi immediately realized that this time the matter might be really big, otherwise Zhao Yu's temper would not have taken out such a thing.

Therefore, Cao Pi is Cao Pi after all, and he will not mess around when he shouldn't be angry, so he quickly got up and apologized to Zhao Yu, and asked Zhao Yu what emergency military situation he had.

Zhao Yu didn't bother to be pretentious with Cao Pi, so he took out the message and slapped it on Cao Pi's table: "Liu Bei was attacked by the Western Regions Alliance when he led his army to Tianshui, and he was seriously injured by three arrows in his body. In addition, according to our detailed report in Yizhou, Liu Bei's injury is really serious, and on the way back to Hanzhong, he urgently transferred a wise doctor from Hanzhong to the army for treatment, and Liu Bei will not survive this hurdle if he doesn't do it well. ”

"What!?"

Cao Pi really didn't have the heart to fight with Zhao Yu this time, and hurriedly copied the message and read it carefully. And after reading it, Cao Pi's brows were twisted into one place, and he said to himself: "How can this be? Liu Bei is also a generation of heroes, and he was actually attacked by the Western Regions Alliance and was seriously injured? How did he fight? ”

Zhao Yu said coldly: "It's not clear what exactly is going on, and the telegraph station that our Yizhou arranged in Hanzhong is only the news from the messenger sent back to Hanzhong by Liu Beijun. But no matter what, it is a fact that Liu Bei was seriously injured and retired from the army, and Liu Bei, a retired soldier, it is difficult to say what kind of changes will happen to you here. Cao Zihuan, you are also a person who knows about military aircraft, and I believe that there are some things that you don't need to be reminded by an outsider like me. ”

Cao Pi lost his temper, just looked at the telegram in his hand and scolded secretly: "Liu Bei, Liu Bei, how did you fight!?" ”
