With the surrender of Lü Bu, after the news of the Qin army's entry into Runan came, the Cao army was shocked and panicked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Everyone saw Cao Cao spurting blood and fainting to death, and hurriedly rushed to save him.

"My life is on the ......."

After Cao Cao woke up, he said such a sentence in his weakness, and he didn't say anything else.

Even the information that continued to arrive afterwards was deaf to him.

However, these constantly coming emergency military situations seem to confirm Cao Cao's words.

If there is an electronic map, you can intuitively see that with the continuous arrival of emergency military information, the red color representing the Qin army has flooded the blue territory belonging to Cao Cao like a sea. With the arrival of the last military situation, the red is about to press to the front line of Xuchang and Chenliu.

In other words, in Cao Cao's hands, only Xuchang and Chen Liudi will remain.

In fact, during this time period, Cao Cao had some other places in his hands, but Cao Cao didn't have time to transfer troops to defend it, and when the time was poor, he could only watch it be swallowed up by the Qin army.

In the past, Cao Cao was able to resist the attack of the Qin army with the military important Guandu, which came from the fact that he had Lu Bu on his side to help assist in the defense.

Now that Lü Bu has surrendered, Cao Cao's empty flanks are completely exposed to the iron hooves of the Qin army, and his defense line has thus become a sieve, and the Qin army can attack at will.

"My life is on the ......." Cao Cao lost his mind.

Guo Jia hurriedly said: "The lord must not be discouraged, now that the troops are divided elsewhere, it is too late in time." Immediately dispatch troops and horses to defend Xuchang City. ”

Cao Cao's face was like gold paper, and he said: "Qin Zijin came from the southeast, southeast of Xuchang, a horse and a flat river, and there was no danger to block the enemy's ......." ”

Now, the house is full, Xiahoudun and other generals are panicked, but Guo Jia is indignant, and said: "The lord's words are wrong, although the southeast of Xuchang is a plain land, but in the northwest of Xuchang, there are eight hundred miles of Funiu Mountain Range in the southern branch of the Qinling Mountains, and it is precisely because of this that Qin Zijin sits on the division and does not dare to watch my Xuchang." ”

Guo Jia said again: "My Xuchang city is tall and can be used as a barrier, and the northwest mountains and rivers to Guandu can be the rear. ”

Guo Jia is still reasonable, the Funiu Mountains are located in the southwest of Henan Province, in the hinterland of the Central Plains, stretching for more than 800 miles, belonging to the Qinling Mountains. It is about 1000 meters above sea level and runs northwest-southeast. It is bordered by Bear's Ear Mountain in the northwest, Nanyang Basin in the south, and Tongbai Mountain in the southeast. It is about 400 kilometers long and is the watershed of the Huai River and the Han River. It covers Luoyang, Nanyang, Pingdingshan, Sanmenxia, Zhumadian and other places in Henan Province.

This mountain range of nearly 1,000 miles is a barrier to the northwest of Xuchang and stretches all the way to Guandu. The mountains are inaccessible, there are no roads, and there is no way to transport grain and grass materials, so it is impossible to use troops.

It is precisely because of this mountain range that Guandu has been achieved.

Because of these mountains, Cao Cao could hold on to Guandu in the north and Xuchang in the south.

Cao Cao and his generals, however, were in a state of intimidating turmoil.

At this time, Cheng Yu spoke, "More than four hundred years ago, the five kingdoms attacked Qi, and within half a year, they captured more than 70 cities of Qi one after another, leaving only two lonely cities of Ju and Jimo. ”

Cao Cao, who had been lying on his back and lost his mind, sat up.

Cheng Yu continued: "Jimo is a large city in the Qi Kingdom, with abundant materials and a large population, and has certain defense conditions. At that time, the guards were killed in battle, and the army and civilians jointly promoted Tian Dan as a general. Tiandan took advantage of the stalemate between the two armies to gather more than 7,000 soldiers, rectify and expand, and repair the city fortress to strengthen the defense. He shared weal and woe with the soldiers and civilians, "weaving straw tools when he sits, and working with shovels (holding shovels)" when he stood up, and personally inspected the city defense. Arrange wives and concubines, and clansmen to join the army, and give food and drink to the soldiers, which has won the trust of the army and the people. ”

"The army and civilians of Jimo were led by Tian Dan to resist, and the two sides fought for five years, and Le Yi could not overcome it."

Guo Jia took it and said loudly: "Tiandan persevered, found an opportunity, recovered more than 70 cities in a row, recovered the Qi country, and achieved great achievements!" He scolded Cao Cao loudly, "Xitian has no more than 10,000 soldiers, and the city is not as tall as my Xuchang City, nor is there 800 miles of Funiu Mountain as the rear, so it can still be like this." Today, our lord has 80,000 male soldiers, and there are fortresses like Xuchang and Guandu, but before the last moment, why did the lord give up? ”

Guo Jia pulled out his sword and said to Xiahoudun and other generals: "The sword in the hands of the generals is sharp, is it sharp?" ”

Xiahoudun and the others were greatly encouraged, and they bowed to each other and said: "I am willing to serve the Lord with death force!" ”

Cao Cao finally cheered up.

At this point, although the Cao Cao group has not yet found a way to truly break Qin, it is united to continue to resist Qin.

At this moment, since Lu Bu had surrendered to Qin Feng, Cao Cao's large territory was lost with lightning speed. Therefore, Boss Cao did not think about other places, but focused on building a defense line in Xuchang.

"That being the case, I will personally go back to Xuchang and fight to the death with Qin Zijin!" Cao Cao patted the case.

Guo Jia thought for a while, and said: "The lord must not move lightly, the enemy Zhang Liao and Xu Huang came from the east, and together with the enemy of the Tiger Pass, an army of 100,000 attacked my Guandu. At this moment, I am afraid that the news has shaken the whole army, and if the lord moves lightly, I am afraid that it will be a great blow to morale. ”

Cao Cao adopted Guo Jia's suggestion, with Xiahoudun as the main general, Yu Ban, Li Dian, Le Jin, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Man Chong and others, and led 30,000 troops back to Xuchang to garrison.

"I'm afraid the army is still insufficient." Cao Cao said worriedly. After all, Qin Feng led an army of 100,000 to kill, if it was someone else, Cao Cao might not be afraid, but the Qin army was fierce, and Cao Cao was not without worries.

Cheng Yu said: "Since my lord rectified the place, the Central Plains scholars have come to live in Xuchang more often, and today, there are eggs under the nest, and the scholars can be mobilized." He hesitated for a moment and said, "We still need to be vigilant about the people." ”

Cao Cao's face darkened when he heard this. As a result, Qin Feng has always mobilized the masses, and Cao Cao has mobilized the scholars.

……

Xiahoudun led the army, non-stop, and after a day and night, he finally rushed ahead of the Qin army and entered Xuchang City. Then the news came, the eastern part of Yingchuan County fell into the hands of the Qin army, and the Qin army was less than half a day's journey from Xuchang.

Xiahoudun was worried, and immediately called a meeting of the scholars in the city.

For a time, 300,000 people in Xuchang were buzzing and discussing.

"Gong Qin is coming!"

"I don't know what the result will be for General Cao."

Although the people hoped that Qin Feng would come, they also felt sorry for Cao Cao.

In the conference hall of the official residence, a large number of old men were concentrated, all of them looking haggard and uneasy.

Xiahoudun was generous and slapped the table, "I intend to follow Tian Dan, and you should follow the example of the military and civilians of Qi State." ”

Liu Ye said from the side: "If Qin Feng comes, the foundations of all families will be wiped out, and now we must use all our strength to resist Qin Feng together." I, Liu Ye, am not talented, and I am willing to confiscate the money and food in my family, and all my family members will be incorporated into the army. ”

The inheritance is gone!

The faces of the various clans changed, but as long as Cao Cao was here, they could still stay the same. But if Qin Feng comes, whoever doesn't have blood in his hands, I'm afraid that after a period of liquidation, it will be wiped out.

The strength of the Shi clan should not be underestimated, and each family is also desperate. They all donated generously, and they gave money, food, and soldiers.

As a result, the number of defenders in Xuchang reached 50,000, and there was enough money and food for two years.

Xiahoudun was a little relieved, so he repaired the city ramparts, strengthened the defenses, and took out all the money and distributed it to the soldiers. At this point, the morale recovered a lot, and he began to defend Xuchang.
