……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Sun Ben of the Slippery Pavilion was taken aback when he got the news. The place where the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info accident is only ten miles away from the sliding pavilion, and he must send troops to see it anyway, make a show, and transport the grain, grass and ordnance back by the way, otherwise he will not be able to explain to Cao Cao.

Sun Ben asked Huang Gai to guard the camp, and he and Sun Fu set off with 3,000 men and horses.

When he arrived at the place of the accident, the people had already run away without a trace. Sun Ben ordered 3,000 soldiers to immediately drive back to the camp with the baggage cart, and he took a team of guards to ride around the battlefield. Li Quan's body was found, but his head was gone.

When Sun Ben was lamenting that people have good fortune and misfortune, there was a sudden chaos ahead, and the eight hundred horsemen who often met spring suddenly came out of the beach of the Suishui River.

The Jiangdong army's soul was scattered, and he ran away, but where could two legs run more than four legs, and flesh and blood flew in a blink of an eye.

This time, when the cavalry of Northern Xinjiang left the battlefield, they did not forget to ignite the grain and grass.

Huang Gai, who stayed in the Huating camp, was shocked when he heard the news, and hurried out of the camp with 3,000 men and horses to respond. Huang Gai rushed to the battlefield and saw Sun Ben and Sun Fu staring blankly at the burning grain and grass, bursting into tears and pain.

But more painful blows followed, his large battalion was attacked by the cavalry of the Northern Frontier, and the battlefield was littered with corpses.

Since Liu Xian's army left Gaoyang Pavilion, the Jiangdong army of Huating has become the prey of Gao Changgong's thoughts. He wandered along the Suishui River with his army, patiently waiting for an opportunity.

The news that Sun Ben and Huang Gai had led their troops to leave the barracks quickly reached Gao Changgong's ears, and Gao Changgong did not hesitate and took 4,000 cavalry to the slippery pavilion.

There are still 4,000 Jiangdong soldiers in the camp of the Slippery Pavilion, and they are looking at the smoke in the distance with trepidation, who knows that bad luck is quietly coming. The roar of the galloping cavalry army in the northern frontier made the Jiangdong Army collapse immediately, and the four thousand fugitives were ruthlessly crushed into powder like mustard under the pursuit of the four thousand cavalry.

Sun Ben, Huang Gai and Sun Fu fled to Yongqiu with the remaining more than 4,000 people.

Cao Cao was dumbfounded. Most of the Jiangdong Army was destroyed within half a day, his own general Li Quan and 3,000 soldiers were killed, a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance were burned, and the battle was already lost before it entered the high tide.

"Chang Yuchun, Gao Changgong, I swear to you that I will not stand apart." Cao Cao smashed his fist on the case, and shouted angrily, "Fight, give me a siege, siege ......"

………………

Yingchuan battlefield.

Zhao Yun fought for a long time in the southwest battlefield of Yingchuan to no avail.

Deng Yi and Pang Ji defended tightly and did not give Zhao Yun any chance to sneak attack at all. Although the Jingzhou army was exhausted by the frequent harassment of the Northern Xinjiang cavalry, the Northern Xinjiang cavalry was also exhausted because they traveled through the mountains and forests day and night.

………………

Kuai Yue launched another attack in the direction of Luyang.

At this time, Guan Yu received the news of the Chenliu battlefield, and Chang Yuchun told him that because the rebels had an obvious advantage in strength and were impeccable in attack and defense, he would not be able to find the flaws of the rebels in the short term, and he might not be able to hold Yongqiu, and asked him to strengthen the defense in the direction of Yanling and Xuchang as much as possible, so as not to flank the rebels from east to west.

Guan Yu Feige passed a letter to Guangcheng Pass, ordered Guangwu Sima Ju to lead 3,000 men and horses to sit in the pass, and ordered the Yangwei general Ji Ling to lead 5,000 men and horses to support Xuchang.

Ji Ling led his army south to Xiangcheng, and when he was about to go east to Xuchang, Guan Yu came to give an urgent order again, asking him to rush to Yecheng immediately. General Zhenwei Yu Poison was seriously wounded in the fierce battle, and the defense of Kunyang and Yecheng was in jeopardy.

Ji Ling rushed to Yecheng overnight to command the battle.

Zhao Yun explained the battle situation in detail. The attack and defense of the Jingzhou army were not leaky, Deng Yi defended the camp, Pang Ji attacked, the two cooperated tacitly, and the Northern Xinjiang Army was at a loss and could only fight to the death.

The situation in the southwest battlefield of Yingchuan is directly related to the Luyang battlefield, if the Jingzhou army breaks through Yecheng and Kunyang and kills the Rushui River, it is equivalent to cutting off the back road of the Luyang battlefield. On the contrary, if this rebel army is defeated, the unfavorable situation on the Yingchuan battlefield will be completely reversed.

Ji Ling thought about it for a long time and decided to abandon Yecheng and lure the rebels to Kunyang to encircle and annihilate them.

"Kunyang is the blessed land of the Han Dynasty. In that year, Emperor Guangwu led 10,000 reinforcements and defeated Wang Mang's 420,000 rebels under Kunyang City, laying the cornerstone of Zhongxing's great cause in one fell swoop. Ji Ling said with a smile, "Although we can't make great feats with fewer victories like Emperor Guangwu, at least we can defeat the Jingzhou army with more victories and fewer victories, stabilize the Yingchuan battle situation, and help the lord conquer Luoyang." ”

Ji Ling's strategy of encirclement and annihilation was agreed to by Guan Yu, and Ji Ling was authorized to requisition troops.

In late August, Zhao Yun's 5,000 cavalry, Ji Ling's 5,000 reinforcements, Xu Huang's 8,000 troops, Kunyang Zou Dan's 5,000 men and horses, and Yingyang Fanfang's 5,000 troops, a total of 28,000 cavalry troops, entered the south bank of Kunshui and set up an ambush.

Ji Ling withdrew from Yecheng and led 5,000 men and horses to retreat to Kunyang.

The Jingzhou army was stationed in Yecheng. Deng Yi defended the city, and Pang Ji led 10,000 forward troops to continue to advance.

Yecheng is about fifty miles away from Kunyang, but there are two rivers in between, there is Lishui out of Yecheng, and there is Kunshui in Kunyang. When Pang Ji led his army to the Kunshui River, he was encircled, and an army of 23,000 foot soldiers and 3,000 cavalry launched a fierce attack on him.

Pang Ji commanded the army with its back to the Kunshui River, swore to block it to the death, and asked Deng Yi for help.

Deng Yi was shocked and led 15,000 men and horses out of the city to rescue, but Zhao Yun led 2,000 cavalry to seize the Lishui Bridge and burned the pontoon bridge.

Pang Ji led the army to hold out until dusk. The Northern Xinjiang Army attacked overnight, and the Jingzhou Army saw that there was no hope for rescue and collapsed in the middle of the night. Pang Ji was killed in battle, Jingzhou generals Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng were killed in battle, thousands of soldiers drowned, and the Jingzhou army was annihilated.

The Northern Xinjiang Army was non-stop, and under the command of Ji Ling, they quickly killed Yecheng.

Deng Yi saw the overwhelming slaughter of the Northern Xinjiang Army to the Lishui River, and knew that Pang Ji had been defeated, so he led the army to retreat to Wancheng in a panic.

………………

Luoyang.

The Northern Frontier Army spent ten nights removing all obstacles from the city wall forty feet away from the base of the city in a three-mile stretch centered on Yongmen. The front wall of the urn city outside the Yongmen and the stone bullets inside the city were also piled up on both sides of the urn city, and the passage to attack the city gate was unimpeded.

The rebels in the city already sensed that the danger was getting closer and closer, and although they had the intention to prevent the Northern Army from clearing the obstacles under the base of the wall, they had lost all the defenses to attack the dead corners of the wall, and they could only stay behind Fu Yan, enduring fear and pain. And every night, they have to brave the dense arrows of the Northern Xinjiang Army to climb the city tower to clean up the stone bullets smashed by the stone cannons of the Northern Xinjiang Army on the city wall during the day, leaving the last bloody place for the Northern Xinjiang Army to block the Northern Army.

Day after day, the defenders and civilians of the city became more and more desperate and depressed, more and more restless in the face of the looming death, and some even began to storm and loot the palace.

Yuan Shao's situation is getting worse and worse, and now he is in a coma basically every day, and his life is leaving this once dominant figure little by little.

The young Yuan Shang grew up under his father's wings, and his endurance was very fragile, and as his father's life gradually passed, and as the hope of Luoyang City's survival gradually faded, he could not bear it. His body became thinner and thinner, his face became paler, his eyes became more and more dull, and his mood became more and more depressed. On several occasions he had lost control of the deliberations of his advisers and generals, nervously helpless, shouting in despair.

People's eyes are no longer fanatical, no longer confident, no longer hopeful, everyone is very indifferent, looking at everything in Luoyang City sadly, as if all this has nothing to do with them.

Many generals and subordinates have given up. They indulge themselves wantonly, soak themselves in wine jars, and throw their lives away from God.

One day, Fu Zhu, who had been silent since he was released from prison by Yuan Shao, finally spoke: "I received news that the army of Cao Cao, Yuan Tan and Sun Quan has conquered Chen Liu and Xingyang and is attacking Tiger Prison Pass. Liu Biao's army has conquered Yingchuan and is attacking Otani and Yique Pass. Liu Bei's army had conquered Chencang and was besieging Chang'an. The Northern Xinjiang Army was attacked on all sides, it was difficult to support, and it was soon to retreat. ”

The eyes of the people were extremely cold, even with a hint of bitterness and pity.

Yuan Shang jumped up in surprise, his voice trembled, and he asked loudly, "Mr. Gonghe, where did this news come from?" Who sent it in? Is it my brother? ”

Fu Zhi took out a crumpled white silk stained with maroon blood from his arms, and said to Yuan Shang: "It was sent by your second brother, and he is now leading the army to attack Yique Pass. We'll be able to defeat the Northern Frontier Army in no time. ”

Yuan Shang snatched the white silk, looked at the familiar font on it, and cried with joy.

Suddenly, he held high the white silk and shouted hoarsely: "Reinforcements are coming, our reinforcements are coming......"

Yuan Shang rushed out, crying and screaming like a madman, shouting as he ran: "Reinforcements have arrived......"

The guards in the palace cheered, then the soldiers and people on the long street cheered, and then Luoyang City cheered.

"Dong Dong Dong ......" The excited and excited drum body shook the sky, Luoyang boiled, Luoyang people cheered, Luoyang people saw the hope of survival, and saw the victory flag flying high in the blue sky.

Yuan Wei gently stroked his gray beard, sighed lowly, and tears quietly rolled down.

The judge walked to the window and listened to the cheers in the city, and his heart trembled.

Suddenly, he walked up to Fu Zhi, glared at him fiercely, and said through gritted teeth: "Gonghe, why do you want so many people to be buried with you?" They have parents, wives and children, and hope to live, so why would you kill them? ”

He closed his eyes in pain.

The judge's hand gripped the hilt of the sword violently.

More than 20 civil ministers and military generals in the hall looked at each other in unison, their eyes were extremely complicated, but none of them spoke.

Feng Ji stood up and pushed away the trial with force. Fearing that the trial would lose control, he drew his sword in a fit of rage and killed him.
