Chapter 120 Sima Yi offered a plan to take Xuzhou

In December of the first year of Jian'an, Liu Beijun Yecheng. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In mid-December, Hua Xin was the Taishou of Wei County and sat in Yecheng, with Yuan Xi leading the Jizhou pastor, and Liang Qi and other cadres as subordinate officials.

With Zhang Fei as the general of Zhenbei, he sat in Jixian County to deter Xian Yufu and other generals.

Zhang Liao still returned to Daizhou, Guo Yun, the assassin of Daizhou, was promoted to the assassin of Youzhou, and Xu Miao, the Taishou of the county, was appointed as the assassin of Daizhou.

Yan Rou was named the general of the Dangkou, formed the Dangkou battalion, and sat on the front line of Danhan Mountain.

Changed Zhao State to Zhao County, with Cui Yan as Zhao County Taishou, Montenegro Zhang Yan as the Western Governor, Zhang Xiu as the Eastern Governor of Jizhou, Xin Ping as the Hejian Taishou, and Xin Biqian as the Plains Taishou.

At the end of December, the army crossed the Yellow River and reached Luoyang.

Xu Huang led the army back to Dongjun, and Ma Chao, Yan Xing, Tai Shici, Lü Meng, and Xu Shu were all taken to Luoyang by Liu Bei.

Luoyang, after several years of rectification by Henan Taishou Zheng Hun, Henan has recovered some popularity, which is not as prosperous as before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but it is no longer a miserable situation where thousands of miles of people are uninhabited and white bones are exposed.

With the unremitting efforts of Zheng Hun for several years, the dilapidated Luoyang Palace has been restored one after another.

Liu Bei went to Luoyang to stay in Nangong, and that night there were scholars in the army who shouted "Long live the King of Jin." ”

There are also rumors: "The king of Jin is the king of the world, and the world is peaceful."

The strategists were headed by Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, and the generals were led by Zhang He and Yu Ban to invite Liu Bei to take the throne in Luoyang.

Liu Bei refused.

Three days later, Zhang He was left in Luoyang, Yu Ban still went out of Yingchuan, and Lu Meng and Xu Shu went out of Runan.

Runan because of Cao Cao's attack on Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu recruited new soldiers, and at the same time urgently recruited Zhang Xun and other generals to go to Huainan to rescue the driver, and gave Runan to the Jin army in exchange for armor and baggage.

After Zhang Xun waited for Yuan Shu's will, he quickly went south from Runan.

Runan was empty for a while, and Runan Yellow Turbans Liu Pi and Gong Du resurrected and conquered Runan City again.

When Huang Zhong of Nanyang got the news, he sent Chen Zhi as the forward to accept Runan, and Yu Ban in Yingchuan also sent Li Tong to the south.

The two armies won the battle, and the counties of Runan opened their doors one after another.

Liu Pi and Gong both bullied the Jin army and led tens of thousands of troops to fight with Chen Zhi and Li Tong in Shangcai.

Li Tong and the Yellow Turban Army confronted Shangcai, and Chen Zhi went to kill Zhiping Yu in Runan County overnight.

Liu Pi and Gong both heard that Pingyu had failed, and returned to the army overnight.

Pingyu was originally the county ruler of Runan, and the two had won several times, but in the end they lost their hands, because the yellow scarf was unpopular, and this time they had Cao Cao's seal of Runan Taishou, so they swore to defend Runan.

Now that the public opinion is lost, Runan is not guaranteed, and they are naturally unwilling.

When the two led their army to cross the river, they were first attacked by Chen Zhi on the other side of the river, and then Li Tong led his army to attack his flank, and the Yellow Turban Army was in chaos.

For a time, the Jin army drove into the river and drowned, trampling on each other and many people died.

Liu Pi and Gong both slipped away when they saw that the situation was not good.

When the two returned to Pingyu, they found that Pingyu was still in their own hands, and they regretted it.

Chen Zhi and Li Tong immediately besieged Runan, and after Yu Ban took the important land of Xihua, he also led his army down the Yingshui.

Liu Pi and Gong were helpless and discussed their desire to surrender.

Li Tong and the others were not allowed, so while passing on the number of counties, they summoned the private soldiers of the scholars in several counties to come to their aid.

Li Tong, a famous general in Huairu, Chen to Runan, too!

The appeal of the two is extraordinary, and the number of private soldiers of the scholar clan who come to help is increasing day by day.

Liu Pi and Gong Du saw that they would definitely die if they defended it, so they led their troops to battle.

Gong Du died in the battle, and Liu Pi killed himself.

Liu Pi and Gong Du, the Yellow Turban bandits who disturbed the tens of people in Runan, died, and Chen Zhi and Li Tong ordered the army to enter the city, and then the people were settled.

The strict discipline of the Jin army made the Runan Shi clan feel extremely secure, so the southern part of Runan surrendered without a fight.

At this time, Cao's army had besieged Shouchun, and the southeast of Runan was fought by the army, Chen Zhi led the army to fight Ruyin, and Li Tong's troops sent Fupo.

Fupo is Lü Meng's hometown, so Liu Bei specially ordered Xu Shu and Lü Meng to lead the army back to Fupo in order to confront Cao's army.

The Jin army marched south, which naturally caused Cao Cao's panic, and urgently ordered Li Chuan (Li Gan's son, Li Dian's cousin) and Cai Yang not to act rashly with Rushui as the boundary.

However, he strengthened the siege of Shouchun, and Cao Cao's henchman Le Jin personally risked the arrow stone and went into battle shirtless to make Cao's army attack the head of Shouchun City.

In the days that followed, Cao's army gradually expanded the advantage of the city walls.

Yuan Shu had no choice but to send people to Liu Biao and Liu Bei for reinforcements, but unfortunately the reinforcements did not arrive.

Yuan abandoned Chen Lan and others and fled.

Yuan Shu committed suicide in Shouchun, and ordered his confidants Ji Ling, Zhang Xun and others to escort his son Yuan Yao and the jade seal of the country to Liu Bei.

Ji Ling took his headquarters as the vanguard, picked Li Gan with a gun, and fought a bloody way, and Zhang Xun immediately led the army to break through.

Cao Cao couldn't catch up, so he had to send Cao Chun's immature tiger and leopard cavalry to pursue.

The two sides fought at Shaopo, Yuan Shu's forbidden army for several years confronted Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry, Zhang Xun died in battle, Ji Ling covered Yuan Shu's wife and children to flee to Yangquan along Huaishui, and then entered the territory of Runan.

Cao Cao therefore entered Shouchun, Cao's army fought hard for half a year, and there was little military food left, and Yuan Shu looted Yangzhou too much, and there was not much grain and grass in the city.

Cao Cao had no choice but to kill and surrender the prisoners, and ordered the Cao army to slaughter the city, and for a time the people of Jiujiang were panicked, such as Yangquan near Runan County and other places surrendered to the Jin army.

Sima Yi, who was already Cao Cao's lord at the time, saw Cao Cao's worries every day and admonished: "Lord, why are you worried? Do you think that the sergeant kills too much? ”

Cao Cao is also a hero! Naturally, he knew that it was easy to lose the hearts of the people by killing prisoners and slaughtering cities, but there was really no food in the army, and the grain accumulation in Yanzhou had already run out.

Cao Cao glanced at Sima Yi: "What does Zhong Da think is worried about?"

Sima Yi reported that his family had joined Cao Cao, and Cao Cao began to want to give him a position because of his father Sima Fang, but Sima Yi was willing to be one of his relatives.

Cao Cao Qizhi, and then Sima Yi has a lot of good strategies, this is the mastermind that Cao Cao has been looking forward to for a long time, and then promoted him to be the main Bo, this time insisting on attacking Shouchun is Sima Yi's idea, although meat-eating pie is Cheng Yu's idea, but Sima Yi insisted, Cao Cao has withdrawn from the army.

Sima Yi said: "If the lord is worried about the military food, he has a plan."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and said, "Zhong Da and let's say, look, is it consistent with what you think?"

Sima Yi said: "Why not take advantage of this time to cut down Xuzhou, Xuzhou's own account is million, the grain and grass are abundant, and after several years of rest, it can be said that it is rich at this time!"

Cao Cao frowned, sighed for a long time and said, "Although Xuzhou is a piece of fat, why is it poisonous?" There is a fierce tiger Lu Bu in its place, and there are elite wolves in the world and a state wolf? What's more, how could Liu Bei sit back and watch someone take Xuzhou? ”

Sima Yi pondered and said: "Lord, I think that the lord has several victories in Xuzhou, although Lu Bu is brave, he is brave and has no strategy!" The lord is fighting with Xuzhou, and it is known! Now that the Chen Palace is driven again, there is no need to worry! The second is that the Jin army has just settled in Hebei, and the prestige of the king of Jin has risen sharply, but the harm is also here, not to mention the rebellion of Bashu and Xiliang, just saying that the grain and grass are not enough to raise the army again, even if Lu Bu asks for help, the king of Jin will only send a partial army. Three! Hehe! King Jin won a great victory, and it is expected to dominate the world, which is not only the main public worry, but also Jiangdong Sun Ce and Jingzhou Liu Biao, who is not worried? The lord can do it. Fourth, Lu Bunai saw the villain who forgot his righteousness, can the King of Jin really tolerate him? I'm afraid that I want to destroy it by the hand of the lord, and this is the four victories! ”

Cao Cao nodded again and again when he heard this, and Sima Yi could be said to have spoken to his heart.
