The flood peak of the Yellow River set off a shocking wave and rushed through Xiaopingjin.

Sima Yi was naked, standing on the battlements of the city wall and looking at the rising sun on the river, full of ambition and high spirits.

Tai Shici and Zhang Shijie dragged their tired bodies to Sima Yi's side.

Sima Yi asked, "What about the casualties?" In recent months, plus today, how many casualties have we had, more than three thousand? ”

Tai Shi Ci looked at the dense corpses inside and outside the Guan, and sighed softly: "Zhongda, it seems that you are going to prepare to serve in the Great General's Mansion." ”

"Won't it?" Sima Yi looked around, and then whispered in a consultative tone, "How about we report a little less?" ”

Zhang Shijie said with a smile: "Zhongda, if the lord knows that the grain and grass of the Yebanjin camp were burned by the rebels, you will be very responsible." ”

"The lord said at that time that the casualties should not exceed three thousand, and he did not say how much grain and grass could be lost, so ......" Sima Yi smiled slyly and said, "When I conquer Mengjin again, there will be nothing." ”

"Hit Meng Jin right away?" Zhang Shijie hesitated, "The soldiers are very tired, are they resting for half a day?" ”

"Immediately assemble a large army and rush to the Shouyangkou of Beibi Mountain to cut off Han Qiong's retreat." Sima Yi said undoubtedly, "Never give him a chance to escape back to Luoyang." ”

………………

Mengjin Pass.

Han Qiong ordered a retreat.

He couldn't believe that Xiao Pingjin had lost it. He originally wanted to take advantage of the inconvenient attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army during the flood season of the Yellow River to defeat Sima Yi in order to completely reverse the situation in Luoyang, but God played a joke with himself. In the case that the night attack on Yebanjin had been successful, the little bastard of the Sima family seized an opportunity that was not an opportunity at the last moment and captured the impregnable Xiao Pingjin.

Is this providential? Could it be that Yuan Shao's fire has angered the sky, and it wants to punish us?

Yuan Shao has not replied, he had two urgent reports before dawn, two reports related to the safety of Luoyang, but Yuan Shao did not reply once.

In other words, there is no army stationed at Shouyangkou so far. If Sima Yi's army seized Shouyangkou, his retreat would be cut off. At the same time, the Northern Frontier Army was only twenty miles away from Luoyang.

What is Yuan Shao doing? Sleep? At this time, can he still sleep soundly at night?

When the morning sun rose, Tan Daoji led the army into Mengjin, and he did not stop at all, commanding the army to follow and pursue.

Yuan Shao's letter arrived, telling Han Qiong to be careful. Han Qiong was so angry that she casually threw the letter into the grass on the side of the road.

Only a moment later, Yuan Shao's letter arrived again, and at this moment he had received the news that Xiaopingjin had been lost and Han Qiong had abandoned Mengjin Pass. Yuan Shao was furious and reprimanded Han Qiong, saying that reinforcements would arrive immediately, and asked him to stick to the line of Beibi Mountain to stop Sima Yi and give the defenders of each pass to withdraw to Luoyang to gain time.

In the morning, Sima Yi, Tai Shici, Zhang Shijie and Tan Daoji met at the foot of Beibi Mountain, and the Northern Xinjiang Army launched an attack. Han Qiong led the army to fight to the death, but because of low morale and weak resistance, Shouyangkou was in danger.

At noon, a lieutenant arrived with reinforcements.

Han Qiong angrily asked, "Why are you delayed until now?" ”

The captain said with a sad face: "The Otani Pass guard General Yu Yuanjin was killed, and the pass was in danger, so I led the army to support it overnight. I didn't know that halfway through, the lord ordered me to turn around and stick to the line of Beibi Mountain, and I ran back and forth for a hundred miles in six hours, and the soldiers were tired and lay down, and I had done my best. ”

When the reinforcements arrived, they couldn't fight, so Han Qiong had no choice but to let them rest for a while and command the army to launch a counteroffensive.

This time, both sides put on a decisive posture, and the battle was very fierce. Han Qiong felt shameless to see Yuan Shao, and rushed to kill with his personal guards, bent on death.

In the afternoon, Han Qiong was seriously wounded, but she still fought hard, and finally died of exhaustion.

At dusk, Sima Yi ordered to camp on the spot and fight again tomorrow.

………………

Luoyang.

Yuan Shao ordered the garrisons to retreat to Luoyang in a hurry.

In order to prevent the armies from retreating too quickly, losing protection from each other, and being heavily damaged by the Northern Xinjiang Army, Yuan Shao formulated a detailed retreat route and time, and asked all armies to retreat in turn and block the attack step by step.

Xianrong was escorted back to Luoyang, and Yuan Shao personally interrogated. When Zhao Rui took the Zhonglang general seal ribbon to force Xianrong to open the door, Xianrong had not yet received Han Qiong's letter, Zhao Rui was still the chief general of Xiaopingjin Pass, and it was also helpless for Xianrong to be forced to open the door.

Yuan Shao was so angry that he trembled all over, indiscriminately, and ordered the execution of Xianrong. Yuan Wei, Feng Ji and others pleaded hard. The trial is the uncle of the trial Rong, and at the moment the trial is responsible for the defense of Luoyang, killing the trial Rong is too stimulating for the trial and is not conducive to the defense of Luoyang.

Yuan Shao calmed down a little and ordered Xianrong to be put in prison and waited for him to recover from his injuries before he was released.

"Sima Yi ......" Yuan Shao gritted his teeth, eager to eat him alive, "Who would have thought that the first to break through the eight passes in Luoyang was this little-known boy." The night attack on Yebanjin not only failed to reverse the situation in Luoyang, but made the situation in Luoyang even worse. Knowing this, I shouldn't have agreed to Han Qiong and Zhao Rui's night attack strategy in the first place. ”

The crowd was depressed and did not speak.

"Lord, you better leave Luoyang as soon as possible." Feng Ji anxiously persuaded, "Yue Fei's army has entered Hangu Pass, and it will be able to conquer the ancient city and Henan City immediately." If the city of Henan is lost, the road back to Nanyang from the direction of Luoshui to the west will be completely cut off. Now that Henan City is still in our hands, you might as well leave as soon as possible. Luoyang has Brother Meng Qian in charge, and with us to help him, nothing goes wrong. ”

"Yes, originally, I think it was very unwise for you to stay in Luoyang." Yuan Wei also persuaded.

"I can't listen to you about this." Yuan Shao shook his hand resolutely, "I can't go, as soon as I leave, Luoyang's military spirit and morale will be gone, what are you going to do to defend the city?" Don't talk about it anymore. ”

………………

In mid-April, news of Sun Ce's serious injury reached Jiangbei.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and immediately began to prepare for an attack on Jiangdong.

He first sent someone to send his daughter to Yanzhou to complete the marriage. Hebei is now struggling with Yuan Shao, and has no strength to control Xuzhou's movements. Cao Cao believed that this marriage negotiation had achieved its goal, and it could completely drag the Northern Xinjiang Army back.

Cao Cao's idea of rushing to attack Jiangdong was opposed by many. Cheng Yu, Mao Jue, Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan and others all thought it was too hasty, and suggested that Cao Cao should first stabilize Xuzhou, consolidate Jiujiang, wait for the opportunity to kill Yuan Yao to seize the Lujiang River, take all the two counties in Jiangbei, and then form and train sailors to accumulate grain and grass. After everything is ready, he will join forces with Liu Biao and attack Jiangdong on two roads.

Jiangdong was always thinking about Jingzhou, and sent troops to attack three times and twice. Last year, not only Huang Zu was killed, but even Jiangxia County was almost lost. In order to solve this threat, Liu Biao will definitely agree to send troops to contain the Jiangdong Naval Division.

At present, there is no naval division in Jiangbei, although Liu Xun and others are actively preparing for formation, it will take time to form a force, and the biggest threat to attacking Jiangdong at present is that the Jiangbei army is unable to resist the Jiangdong naval division.

However, Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai, Cao Hong and others believed that it was the best time to attack Jiangdong.

The situation in Jiangdong has been unstable, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are at odds, and rebellions in various counties have occurred one after another. In the past, Sun Ce suppressed it by force and barely maintained it, but now Sun Ce can no longer be a director, all the contradictions are intertwined, and the slightest stimulus will break out in an all-round way, and Jiangdong is bound to collapse instantly. What the Jiangbei army had to do was to pose a huge threat to Jiangdong, force the Jiangdong crisis to break out quickly, and then take advantage of the situation to take the four counties of Jiangdong.

Now Zhou Yu is stationed on the front line of Wancheng, Juchao, and Quarry, and he personally rushed to Moling, the purpose is obvious, that is, to take the opportunity to seize Jiangdong. Under the persecution of Zhou Yu, the Sun brothers were in danger, and in order to survive, they could only take risks and attack Zhou Yu, and Jiangdong was in chaos.

As soon as Koto is in chaos, we can attack Koto. As for the Jiangdong Naval Division, which posed the greatest threat to the Jiangbei army, at that time they were each their own master, and they were all in a mess, and they were powerless to stop us from moving south.

Both sides have their own reasons. At Cao Cao's insistence, the Jiangbei army Chen soldiers on the north bank of the Yangtze River prepared to cross the river to attack.

Yuan Yao received Cao Cao's letter, and immediately led the army to the front line of Wancheng and Juchao again, preparing to join forces with Cao Cao to enter Jiangdong.

With the help of Cao Cao, Yuan Yao defeated Sun Ce and captured the Lujiang River, and his hatred for Cao Cao was greatly reduced.

Yuan Shu and Cao Cao made a feud, and the main party that was responsible for the loss was Yuan Shu. After he was forced out of Nanyang by Yuan Shao, he immediately went to seize Yanzhou, but he couldn't beat Cao Cao, so he had to run to Yangzhou. Later, when Yuan Shu took advantage of Cao Cao's attack on Jizhou, he went to fight Yanzhou again, but he still lost. And the reason for the defeat was precisely because of the betrayal of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, so Yuan Yao hated Sun Ce even more. Now that Yuan Yao got his wish, his revenge was avenged, and his eyes immediately turned to Jiangdong.

Who is Cao Cao, Yuan Yao knows very well, although Cao Cao kept his promise to give Lujiang to him, but Cao Cao will take Lujiang back sooner or later, how can he allow others to sleep soundly next to the couch? It's better to take the morning to Jiangdong to find a place to live.

………………

Jiangdong, Moling.

Yuan Yao's attack and Cao Cao's Chen soldiers made the situation in Jiangdong suddenly tense.

Zhou Yu was worried that Wancheng and Juchao would break through to Yuan Yao, and asked several times to rush to Quarry Rock to command the battle, but they were left behind by Mrs. Sun and Sun Quan. At this time, Zhou Yu became the pillar supporting Jiangdong, and he couldn't leave Moling for a single step.

However, worse news came from Yuzhang County.

After Liu Biao led the army to besiege Changsha County and govern Xiangcheng, Zhang Xian, the Taishou of Changsha, was panicked and suddenly died. Zhang Xian's death caused the rebels to collapse immediately, and Liu Biao easily quelled the rebellion. At this time, the news of Sun Ce's serious injury came out from Jiangdong, Liu Biao was overjoyed, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately commanded the army down the river and killed Chaisang.

It happened that Lu Su was ordered to return to Chaisang to defend the town, and when he learned that the Jingzhou army was coming violently, he hurriedly ordered the sailors to lay several iron chains on the river as quickly as possible, and urgently summoned the sailors in the area of Pengze and Quarshiji to return to Yuzhang.
