Li Yi was worried about the safety of Changyi City, and originally wanted to go to the rescue in person, but under the persuasion of Dong Zhao, he still decided to go north to pursue Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The victory or defeat of the Central Plains War is directly related to the safety of Hebei, and the survival of oneself and one's relatives is not allowed to lose. When the heavy burden of thousands of catties crossed the river from the army, it was pressed on Li Yi's shoulders. As the army progressed, the enormous responsibility grew heavier and heavier, and now he was almost out of breath.

The city of Changyi was attacked by the rebels, which was completely unexpected by him. The momentum of the rebel counterattack has become more and more sharp and threatening with the passage of time of the war, the arrival of enemy reinforcements from all sides, and the refinement of the countermeasures of the rebel leaders.

The worry about the Changyi battlefield made Li Yi exhausted, and the changes on the battlefield made Li Yi angry, a series of mutations made Li Yi exhausted, he felt too tired, it was difficult to support, in addition, he also had to sort out his thoughts and consider the next attack strategy. Li Yi therefore gave up the overnight pursuit, and instead ordered the army to set off in the early morning of the next day. He had a longing in his heart, hoping that he could hear the good news of Changyi City before he set off.

Li Yi did not get his wish, and he hurried north with worry and apprehension.

In the afternoon, the army arrived at the city of boiled dates. Zhai Yu's subordinates, who had already rushed to this area to investigate the news, told him that the rebels did not bring any baggage and marched very fast. According to the people near the city of boiled dates, this army arrived outside the city of boiled dates at dusk yesterday. They didn't make any stops, and turned directly to the northwest and ran towards Changyuan, which was estimated to be very close to Changyuan City now.

Li Yi didn't say anything and continued to advance with the army.

At dusk, the army stopped at a place called the Yellow Skin.

That night, Li Yi did not receive news from Changyi. He tossed and turned, sighed, and couldn't sleep at all. Just because the stakes are so high. If you win, you will be able to calm the world. But if it is defeated, not only will it be far away to calm the world, but it may even lose Hebei and end up with Yuan Shao in another time and space.

………………

At dusk the next day, Li Yi led his army to the foot of Changyuan City.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei held on to the city and asked for help from Yancheng on the west bank of the Pushui River.

Yan Liang was overjoyed when he heard the news, and personally rushed to the river to direct the boats to pick up Cao Cao and Liu Bei. With this huge army, he can not only block Zhang Fei's attack, but perhaps recapture White Horse City.

Li Yi's goal was Changyuan City, so he stationed troops under the city and did not attack the rebels, allowing the rebels to retreat. At the same time, he was worried that Zhang Fei would rashly attack Yancheng, so he sent someone to contact Zhang Fei again, so he must be careful, and he must not be careless when attacking Yancheng.

Late that night, Changyi City finally came to the book.

Xun You recounted the before and after of the battle in Changyi, and pleaded guilty to Li Yi. Xun You admits that due to his own negligence, Changyi City was briefly lost, and asked Zhou Cang to rescue Cheng Yu and the rebels' families.

After the army occupied Changyi City, the main force rushed to Dingtao, leaving only a few thousand of Zou Jing's men and horses in the city. Zou Jing and a group of generals guarded the city, busy with city defense, and had no time or ability to clean up the Changyi Prefecture in just a few days.

Changyi is the location of the Yanzhou Thorn History Department, and it is also the location of Cao Cao's prime minister's mansion, and there are many mansions. These government offices were familiar with Yanzhou affairs and were very important for the Northern Xinjiang Army to quickly stabilize the counties and counties, so Zou Jing retained the low-level ordinary officials of each government in order to maintain the operation of the prefectures in the absence of Yanzhou Assassin Shi Xinbi.

Xin Bi wanted to appease Taishan County and Lu State, who had just returned to Shun, and he didn't have time to rush to Changyi City in the near future. Chen Gong supervised the transportation of grain and grass to Changyi, and then went to Renchengguo.

Xun You said: "I have been serving in the city state, and after arriving in Changyi, I was immediately ordered to gather troops to attack the front line of Fangdong and Bocheng to the west, and I did not have time to deal with the affairs of the Yanzhou Prefectures, and the result was that this negligence caused a catastrophe." After the siege, due to the shortage of troops, I didn't think too much about it, and sent guards from the prison to participate in the defense of the city. It was chaotic, and the guards who remained in prison probably neglected to monitor the jailers, allowing them to seize the opportunity to rebel, which eventually led to the fall of Changyi. ”

Xun You expressed his willingness to bear all the responsibility.

Changyi City was safe and sound, which made Li Yi's heart relax. He immediately flew a pigeon to pass the book to Xun You, and immediately took the post of Yanzhou Assassin on his behalf, and first dealt with the affairs of Changyi City clearly. Ordered Li E to join Lu Bu, Lu Wenlong, and Gao Shun, lead the army to attack the front line of Fangdong and Bocheng, and respond to the main army to advance to Chenliu.

After taking Pingqiu City, Li Yi immediately rushed to Changyuan to rendezvous, led the army to threaten Yancheng and Fengqiu on the east bank of the Pushui River, and planned Zhang Fei's army to attack Yancheng.

On the third day, Li Yi left Lan Rong behind and waited for an opportunity to capture Changyuan City. He and Baliyan rushed to Jiyang with 10,000 cavalry to meet Guan Yu and Zhang Yan.

………………

The time soon turned to May of the fourth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (199 AD).

………………

In early May, the western part of Yanzhou East County.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei led their troops to cross the Pushui River, got rid of the pursuit of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and entered Yancheng to join Yan Liang and Gao Gan.

At the same time, Zhang Fei and Tai Shici led more than 50,000 troops to approach Yancheng, and the two sides were on the verge of breaking out.

The southern part of Jiyin County, Yanzhou.

The armies of Lü Bu, Lu Wenlong, and Gao Shun converged in Dongyicheng, and the 50,000 troops hurried westward to attack Fangdong and Danfu.

Li E left Cheng Lian's 5,000 cavalry to continue to attack on the front line of Bocheng and Jishi, and he rushed to the east with hundreds of iron cavalry to meet Lu Bu and others.

Xun You stayed in Changyi City and supervised the transportation of grain and grass for the army.

The central part of Chenliu County, Yanzhou.

Guan Yu met Yan Rou and Xu Maogong in Jiyang, and led an army of nearly 40,000 cavalry to Chenliu in a hurry.

Dong Zhao led the Taishou of Jiyin County on behalf of the people, accumulated grain and grass in Dingtao City, and organized the people to transport it to the front line of Chenliu.

Zhang Yan cleaned up the Dingtao battlefield, dealt with all the aftermath, and led the army to Jiyang to meet Zhai Yu, who rushed to Jiyang first.

Then the general Li Yi arrived, and the three-way army gathered about 50,000 cavalry troops and hurried towards Chen Liu.

The left, center, and right armies of the Northern Xinjiang Army advanced simultaneously, and the cavalry army of more than 200,000 infantry was mighty and amazing.

………………

Cheng Yu, Zhou Cang, Jian Yong, Xiahou Shang, and Yang Ping retreated to the Nimu Pavilion on the south bank of the Heshui River.

Cheng Yu and the others analyzed the situation again, and unanimously determined that the containment in the direction of Rencheng had been completed, and the top priority was to immediately advance westward and block the attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army on the flank battlefield on the front line of defending the east and Bocheng.

Now the troops that can rush to the front line of Fangdong and Bocheng include nearly 30,000 troops of Zhou Cang, Jian Yong, Xiahou Shang and Yang Ping. In the process of attacking Changyi City, they lost more than 10,000 people, and Zhou Cang was angry about this. If it weren't for Cao Chun's rash attack, the army according to the predetermined strategy, and wait until Li E supported the Dingtao battlefield and Gao Shun was dragged on the Rencheng battlefield, and then attacked Changyi City, the loss would never have been so big.

Now Cao Chun is uninjured and is hiding in the area of Bocheng and snickering secretly, while the tens of thousands of troops on the battlefield of Dingtao are in danger of being wiped out because of their failure to attack Changyi.

"Yuanfu, don't worry about the Dingtao battlefield." Jian Yong comforted, "Li E and Lu Bu of the Northern Xinjiang Army were dragged by Cao Chun, and you attacked Changyi and dragged Lu Wenlong, it is estimated that Gao Shun will also rush back to help, and once Li Yi learns that Changyi is in danger, he must divide his troops to support." Cao Cao and the lord are both experienced people, and they will definitely not miss the opportunity when they see it. In my opinion, they will be able to rescue Cao Ren and withdraw to Chen Liu safely. ”

Zhou Cang couldn't take care of Dingtao at this time. He hurriedly wrote to Zhu Ling and Ji Ling, immediately led the army to withdraw from Rencheng, and rushed to the front line of Fangdong and Bocheng day and night to meet with him. Due to his own attack on Changyi, the strength of the Xuzhou army has been exposed, and Zhu Ling and Ji Ling's containment forces in Rencheng are likely to become the target of the Northern Xinjiang Army's attack. As long as there is an army, even if Liu Bei suffers heavy losses in Dingtao, he will still be able to make a comeback after returning to Xuzhou.

Zhou Cang asked Jian Yong to take Cao Cao and the families of Yanzhou civil and military officials back to Pengcheng, supervise the transportation of grain and grass for himself, and then rush to the east with Cheng Yu, Xiahou Shang, and Yang Ping with the army.

Although his speed was fast, it was not as fast as the cavalry of Lu Wenlong and Lu Bu and others. After the two cities of Fangdong and Shan Father left in Zhoucang, the number of defenders was very small, and as soon as the Northern Xinjiang Army arrived, the two cities and county commanders took people to abandon the city and fled.

Zhou Cang received the news halfway, and instead took the army to detour to Liangguo, and then went to the front line of Bocheng and Kaocheng.

In Yucheng in Yongshui, Cao Chun, who got the news, came quickly with a team of cavalry.

Zhou Cang didn't say a word, and rushed up to punch Cao Chun's face. Cao Chun was caught off guard and was knocked down with a punch. Cao Chun's personal guards rushed up, and Zhou Cang roared like thunder, punching and kicking, knocking down several in a row.

Then Zhou Cang's personal guards also rushed forward, and dozens of people on both sides scuffled together, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Cheng Yu, Xiahou Shang and Yang Ping desperately grabbed Cao Chun and persuaded him: "General Zhou captured Changyi and rescued the prime minister and your family, even if he slashed you, you will admit it." ”

Cao Chun was already at a loss, but when he heard that Zhou Cang risked his life to save his family again, he said that it was not good to fight again, so he hurriedly retreated from his subordinates.

Zhou Cang jumped like thunder, his black face turned purple, and although he was held by his own guards, he still scolded.

Cheng Yu already knew Liu Bei's strategy from Zhou Cang's mouth, so he persuaded Cao Chun to hurry up and make amends, and then asked in a low voice, "Why did you attack without permission?" Did the prime minister ask you to do it? ”

"Without the Prime Minister's order, do I dare to attack without permission?" Cao Chun smiled bitterly, "Liu Bei has the intention to calculate us, Mr. Zhicai said, only in this way can Liu Bei's strategy fail." ”

Cheng Yu shook his head and said helplessly: "Gao Shun of the Northern Xinjiang Army has arrived in Rencheng, Liu Bei's strategy is difficult to succeed, and it is impossible for Zhicai not to know." His approach will only break the relationship between the two families. What the hell is he trying to do? ”

Cao Chun looked at Cheng Yu blankly, not knowing what he meant. Could it be that there is a plan in the drama and the will? (To be continued.) )
