"Rain girl, how is your war in Liaoxi?"

In the government of Xuzhou, Sima Yi and Zhao Yu sat separately, and after each was polite, Sima Yi asked this sentence. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBy the way, during the Tao Qian period, the seat of governance in Xuzhou was in Tancheng, and after Lao Cao got Xuzhou, he moved the seat of Xuzhou to Pengcheng in order to facilitate the control of Xuzhou.

Besides, Lu Ren's side, after getting the official post of Yizhou pastor, Xuzhou has become the main channel for communication between Lu Ren and the Han court, and there is something to communicate with the court, all of which are from Xuzhou to Xuchang, and Zhao Yu is mainly in charge. After going back and forth, Zhao Yu and Sima Yi naturally became old acquaintances.

When the war in western Liaoning ended, it was already the New Year approaching the twentieth year of Jian'an. When Tuoba Yu took care of those large and small tribes and sent messages to Lu Ren, it was already about to enter the New Year. Lu Ren considered that Zhao Yu was also very hard, so he asked Zhao Yu to spend the New Year in Chrysanthemum Port first, and then rush to Xuzhou after the New Year. So by the time Zhao Yu arrived in Xuzhou, the time was already in the middle of the first month of the twentieth year of Jian'an.

But that's okay, because at the beginning of the new year, Lu Ren happened to make a routine contribution to the Han court, and in previous years, Zhao Yu did this thing, so Zhao Yu did it together. As for Lao Cao, although he knew that Lu Ren was fighting in western Liaoning, because western Liaoning was far away, the land transportation conditions at that time were inconvenient, and the heavy snow blocked the road after winter, so Lao Cao didn't know what Lu Ren's battle situation was in western Liaoning. So at this time, Sima Yi saw that Zhao Yu came to Xuzhou as usual in previous years, so he naturally asked Zhao Yu this sentence.

Zhao Yu smiled faintly and then replied: "After two months of fierce fighting, it was originally up and down, but later we found a fighter plane to break the roots, so our side won a complete victory, and we had to descend tens of thousands of people." And I was ordered to serve the Son of Heaven this time, and I also want to report to the Son of Heaven. ”

Sima Yi couldn't help but "hiss" lightly when he heard this, and took a cool breath. At this time, Sima Yi was in his thirties and less than forty, although he had not been on the battlefield much, but as a person with extremely high military talent, coupled with a lot of knowledge, of course he knew that those northern nomads were not so easy to deal with. Now that I heard Zhao Yu say that "two months of fierce fighting" and "I have to surrender more than 100,000 people", I know that I have to improve the evaluation of the combat effectiveness of Lu Ren's army in my heart.

On the other hand, Zhao Yu, when she rushed to Xuzhou to get Lu Ren's statement, of course, she would also get the secret letter written to her by Lu Ren and Xun Yu, so she naturally knew what to do and what to say. And at this moment, Zhao Yu had to exaggerate the results in front of Lao Cao's people according to Lu Ren's request.

After looking at Sima Yi again, he paused, and asked, "But I don't know what the situation in Liaoxi is now?" ”

Zhao Yu deliberately frowned his eyebrows: "Zhongda, you are a smart person, so I won't say those nonsense in front of you." There were many people when Budugen attacked, and although we won, we lost a thousand enemies and eight hundred, and we suffered a lot of losses. Now those Xianbei tribes have surrendered because of the leaderless dragons, and we have reluctantly pacified them by Tuoba Yu, but because the heavy snow blocked the road, those Xianbei tribes can't go back for a while, and we have to pull out a large amount of money and food for them to eat temporarily, so as not to cause them trouble because of hunger. To tell the truth, this time I was ordered to serve the Son of Heaven, in addition to being on the table, I also hope that the Son of Heaven can send more people to Liaoxi after the snow disappears in the spring, and use my Han Tianwei to deter those Xianbei tribes, so that they can obediently return to the northern grassland after the snow disappears. ”

These words are half-true and half-false, although Sima Yi did not believe it all, but he also believed it a little...... I have to explain that although Sima Yi is not an ordinary person, one is that Sima Yi is relatively young at this time, and he has not yet reached the point where he can see through others at a glance, and second, Zhao Yu has been a diplomat for many years, and he doesn't know how much he has dealt with each other, and the corresponding skills are also called a perfect fire, so Sima Yi can't see Zhao Yu's reality and reality. And why did Xun Yu suggest that Lu Rende transfer Zhao Yu to do this? What I like is Zhao Yu's experience and ability in this area. If this matter is to be handled by Lu Lingqi...... Hehe, it's strange that Sima Yi hasn't been touched by Sima Yi for a few rounds.

As for why he smoked these things with Sima Yi in Xuzhou, it was because Lu Ren knew that Sima Yi would definitely report these things to Lao Cao. The place where Zhao Yu is going is Xuchang, but the place where Lao Cao stays is in Yecheng, and it is impossible for Zhao Yu to go to Yecheng again according to the mission route, so Sima Yi has to pass these words to Lao Cao.

And at this time, after saying some things that should be said at the end of Liaoxi, Sima Yi asked again: "Miss Yu, there is still something unclear below, that is, does Lu Yizhou really plan to use troops against Gongsun of Liaodong?" ”

Zhao Yu responded: "I definitely have to fight." In fact, this battle in Liaoxi is basically equivalent to the war between my husband and the Gongsun clan of Liaodong, because Budugen has colluded with the Gongsun of Liaodong in Liaoxi, and this time the army sent Chrysanthemum Port, that is, Budugen took a lot of benefits from the Gongsun clan, so he sent troops to Chrysanthemum Port, intending to disperse the strength of Mr. In addition, Chrysanthemum Port is not far from Liaodong, which can be regarded as an important transit port when Mr. Liaodong uses troops, if Chrysanthemum Port is broken, Mr. will have a lot of trouble if he wants to fight Liaodong. Mr. Zhongda, I know that you are also a person who is well versed in the art of war, so you don't even understand this truth, right? ”

Sima Yi nodded abruptly. Don't think that Sima Yi doesn't know the geographical environment of Liaoxi and Liaodong, in fact, Sima Yi is one of the first people to buy ships from Lu Ren, in addition to maintaining business contacts with Yizhou, he will occasionally go to several ports in the north to buy some northern specialties, and relevant geographical environment information will naturally be collected.

The location of Chrysanthemum Port is close to Liucheng, which is later Jinzhou,

………………

Moreover, after Deng Ai occupied the Xisaishan Walled City at noon, he naturally ordered his 4,000 soldiers to seize the time to strengthen the walled city, and at the same time sent someone to inform the deputy general to guard the exit of the rear mountain road, so as not to let the Liaodong defenders return to Xiangping to report the news, and then they had to send the follow-up grain, grass, equipment and so on quickly. The rapid march can't bring much food, grass and equipment, and the goal now is to use this force of less than 5,000 people to block Gongsun Yuan for at least ten days, if there is not enough food, grass and equipment, it is nonsense!

Of course, there is a certain amount of grain in this walled city, which is enough for the original more than 1,000 defenders to eat for about half a year. Ordinary people may not care about this, but how shrewd is Deng Ai? After carefully examining the freshness of the grain and rice, he immediately ordered someone to find out the records of the turnover of grain and grass in the main account of the walled city. Sure enough, the grain and rice in the walled city were only sent from Xiangping last month. According to the military habits of Liaodong, the routine supply of this Xisai Mountain is once every three months, but because it is early spring now, the heavy snow removed in winter has not disappeared, and the road is inconvenient, so it is a one-time delivery of about half a year's grain and grass, and the next supply is in spring, after the ice and snow on the road melt. To put it simply, it means that within half a year, no troops or personnel will be sent here from the Xiangping side.

"God help me!"

As soon as Deng Ai figured out this section, he immediately shouted luck. Why did he ask the deputy general to lead 500 people to blockade and guard Xiangping? Isn't it because the location of the main road of Xisai Mountain is just between Liaoxi and Xiangping? Of course, the fish that slipped through the net here in the walled city can't let it get away, if someone from Xiangping's side comes over at this time, can they still expect the five hundred people led by the deputy general to be completely blocked? So to be precise, the 500 people led by the deputy general are blockading the walled city and guarding Xiangping. As soon as Xiangping's side found out that the situation here in Xisaishan Walled City was wrong and made some moves, Deng Ai had to prepare to be attacked on both sides.

But now? The walled city was only replenished not long ago, and according to the habits of the Liaodong military, I am afraid that no one will come to see it in the past six months...... The remote place where birds don't, the front line in western Liaoning seems to be in a good situation, and the weather in the north is very cold in early spring, so the ghost is willing to run here! To put it simply, Deng Ai doesn't have to worry about the threat that Xiangping may bring, so Deng Ai will shout "God help me" like this.

Of course, just in case, Deng Ai did not plan to transfer the five hundred men of the deputy general to the walled city, after all, in addition to the blockade and vigilance, the five hundred men of the deputy general also had to ensure contact with the fleet. In case something goes wrong, Deng Ai has this trick, and there is more or less a way out.

Since there was no need to worry about anything in the rear, Deng Ai's brains were all squeezed to the front. The walled city was being strengthened intensely, and the scouts were sent out early in the morning. When it was near dusk, the scouts rushed back and reported to Deng Aiyu that Gongsun Yuan's army of more than 40,000 troops had fallen into the village more than 50 miles away from Xisai Mountain.

Deng Ai was not surprised by this. When they got the news last night, Gong Xunyuan was 160 or 70 miles away from Xisai Mountain, and now there were still 50 miles, which means that they had already driven more than 120 miles in one day. One hundred and twenty miles, when converted into modern units, is about 50 kilometers, which may not sound like much, but you can try to walk 50 kilometers in one go, and you can exhaust people to death when you are tired! Even in modern society, at the speed of a bus of 25 kilometers per hour, a two-hour drive can still make people faint!

To put it simply, most of the soldiers and horses led by Gongsun Yuan now are infantry, plus these days they have been marching constantly and rapidly to avoid being pursued and killed by Lu Ren's Liaoxi army, and the physical strength of the whole army is very fierce. In Deng Ai's words, it is already running quite fast.

When he got the news, Deng Ai was obviously relieved. According to Deng Ai's calculations, Gongsun Yuan's army would arrive at Xisai Mountain around the early morning of the next day - fleeing for his life, where would it matter if it was day or night? According to the current distance, if Gongsun Yuan marched overnight, he would indeed arrive at the Xisaishan Walled City around the early morning. And now that Gongsun Yuan is stationed in the camp for a while, you can roughly imagine how tired his army is, and his flesh and blood are going to rest after all. It's just that in this way, the men and horses led by Deng Ai also got a night's rest, and compared with the Liaodong soldiers and horses who had already driven so many roads and were already tired, Deng Ai's more than 4,000 soldiers who came by boat were really full of energy.

And with this time, it is enough for Deng Ai to play some tricks......

————————————————————

In the blink of an eye, it was almost noon the next day.

In the rumbling of hooves, about hundreds of horsemen appeared under the walled city, and the first cavalry captain shouted to the walled city from afar, asking the walled city to open the gate and prepare to meet Gongsun Yuan's army. Just shouted for a long time, but no one on the walled city answered, and the cavalry captain was angry, and immediately slapped his horse and stepped forward to scold.

It may also be that the cavalry captain is a little tired and dizzy, and he doesn't want to think that the atmosphere on the walled city is so wrong. He had barely finished a few words when an arrow shot out from above the city. The cavalry lieutenant was caught off guard, and the feathered arrow hit him in the heart impartially, and then naturally fell under the horse.

The cavalry behind the lieutenant was immediately stunned, and before they could react, the flags and shadows of people on both sides of the mountain road flashed, and the rain of arrows in the sky followed. In a matter of moments, all of these hundreds of horsemen were hedgehogs...... However, the last few riders finally reacted faster, and there were people in front of them, so they turned around and slipped away when they saw that the momentum was not right. Looking back in his busy schedule, he found that the flag weaving on the wall was being replaced with the Yizhou military flag. Listening to the sound of shouts resounding through the mountains, I didn't know how many soldiers there were on the other side for a while, so I could only flee in panic.

Deng Ai saw that a small number of Liaodong cavalry who had intended to let go have fled at the top of the wall, and immediately ordered the gate to be opened, allowing the two thousand soldiers who had been ambushed on both sides of the mountain road to retreat into the walled city. As for the military flag left there or something, Deng Ai didn't bother to pay attention to it. It was originally put there for scary use, why remove it?

When the 2,000 men had withdrawn to the walled city, and the arrangement of the road was completed, Deng Ai gave another order:

"Shut the door for me completely!"

The wood, stones, and dirt that had been prepared for a long time kept being fed into the porch, and it didn't take long for the door to be completely blocked. Deng Ai is trying to block Gongsun Yuan, this gate is of no use to him at all, in case it is troublesome if it is breached, it is better to simply block it. And after closing the door and blocking it, all you have to do is wait for the attack of Gongsun Yuan's army.

————————————————————

On the other hand, it didn't take long for Gongsun Yuan to receive a return from the fleeing war horse. As for this return, Gongsun Yuan was shocked when he heard it...... In fact, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than "the road to return of our army has been cut off by the Yizhou army", "there are a lot of Yizhou soldiers" and the like. Deng Ai came here first, the purpose was to make the Liaodong soldiers not understand the actual strength in the walled city, and then disturb the morale of the Liaodong soldiers and horses.

Unfortunately, Gongsun Yuan really fell for this. To be honest, it was not surprising that Gongsun Yuan would be at this meeting. Lu Ren's Yizhou shipping capacity is strong, and Gongsun Yuan, as one of Yizhou's former trading partners, is still relatively clear. In fact, as early as the beginning of Gongsun Yuan's army, Gongsun Yuan had considered the retaliation that would ensue from Lu Renke. According to Gongsun Yuan's assumption, as long as this battle is won, Lu Ren's Northern Army will definitely be disabled, even if it falls into the hands of Xianbei, he will also be able to earn enough benefits, and he is not afraid of any revenge from the sea by Lu Ren, who has already injured his vitality......

Of course, it would be better to let Lu Ren fall into his own hands. If you have enough inland territory, can you still be afraid of Lu Ren's coastal attack? It's a great way to move all the people from the coastal zone back inland. Moreover, after Lu Ren's defeat, his vitality was greatly damaged, Jiangdong would definitely make some moves, Lu Renjie was too busy to take care of himself, how could he still have the strength to come to the north to engage in the east and west? By the time Lu Ren had finished his one-third of an acre of land, his Gongsun Yuan would have already sat firmly, and he was not afraid of Lu Ren.

It's a pity that after the previous defeat, Gongsun Yuan knew that things were not good, otherwise he wouldn't have run so fast. These days, the Liaodong infantry has to rush more than a hundred miles every day, just because they are worried that Lu Ren's movements will be faster. But what you worry about will come, and now the retreat is broken, isn't it?

Based on this thought, Gongsun Yuan thought of Yizhou's shipping capacity, and really had no doubt that there would be a large number of Yizhou soldiers in Xisaishan. It's just that Gongsun Yuan didn't know that in the previous battle, the losses of Lu Ren's Yizhou Northern Army were really large, and where would there be enough troops to directly transfer to the ship without resting, and then cut off his retreat?

Without further ado, Gongsun Yuan is not a 2500 who does not understand military affairs, and he knows very well that Lu Ren's pursuers may be pressed at any time, and once he hesitates, that is, he will wait for Lu Ren to make dumplings for himself. At that moment, the order was hurriedly given, and the whole army was to advance at full speed, and it was imperative to open up the mountain road of Xisai Mountain as quickly as possible.

When Gongsun Yuan left Liaodong and went to Liaoxi, he took three horses with him, including 20,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry. In the engagement, the cavalry lost more than 6,000, but the infantry of the main force suffered little loss. Now attacking the Xisai Mountain Road Walled City with all its might, the cavalry is useless, and it is all up to the infantry to pile up.

For no reason, Gongsun Yuan suddenly wanted to cry. These more than 30,000 infantry were originally intended to be used to attack the city, but now they are used to attack a key pass that belongs to them......

(File loss, really uncomfortable!) (To be continued.) )
