- Chapter 209 Foresight
Demoralize the enemy first
The art of war is to defeat the strong with the weak, and this is how it should be. Le Jin and Li Dian are both generals who are familiar with the art of war, so how could they not understand this principle.
Seeing Zhang Liao's generosity, Li Dian couldn't help but be moved.
Because of the death of his uncle Li Qian, Li Dian was already jealous of Zhang Liao, a surrendered general. The feud between the two was known to everyone in the army. Normally, Li Dian would stumble Zhang Liao and vent his anger if he encountered the right reason.
But now, Duke Cao put the defense of Hefei on his shoulders, and also ordered him to go to war with Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao knew that he was at odds with him, but he still generously asked for war without hesitation. If he still had personal grudges, Could it be that he missed important national events and betrayed Duke Cao's trust in him?
Thinking of this, Li Dian said with emotion: "Okay, then I will fight shoulder to shoulder with Brother Wenyuan to frustrate the Wu people's spirit."
Le Jin is actually dissatisfied with Zhang Liao. The reason for his dissatisfaction is different from that of Li Dian. The former is dark and the latter is clear.
The reason is very simple. Le Jin is a veteran Yuan Gong general who has followed Cao Cao since the Jujube Alliance and during the war against Dong. However, Zhang Liao is just a reduced general. Over the years, he has become more and more popular. Now his official position is actually different from his own. Sit on equal footing.
Le Jin never believed that Cao Cao's rewards and punishments were unfair, nor did he deny Zhang Liao's general talents and achievements. However, as a veteran general of Yuan Gong, he inevitably always had a little self-reliance. It was this self-reliance that made him secretly have a feeling for Zhang Liao. gap.
But now, Li Dian, who had always been aware of his rift with Zhang Liao, was able to put aside his personal grudges and follow Cao Gong's orders to put state affairs first. He was happy to advance, so there was no reason why he couldn't let it go.
Seeing Li Dian's statement, Le Jin also took a deep breath, turned around, faced the two men, and said solemnly: "Since Mr. Cao has his destiny, you two can go to war with confidence. I, Le Jin, will do my best to do a good job." Your back."
Seeing that they all put the overall situation first, Zhang Liao was deeply moved. He spread out his arms, slapped the two people on the shoulders, and said boldly: "Tonight, let us have a big killing, and let the people of Wu see the strength of the three of us." "weird"
"A big killing spree."
"A big killing"
Le and Li both shouted in unison.
On the same day, the three of them made a big plan. Le Jin would lead the main force to defend the city, Zhang Liao would lead his 800 cavalry troops to take advantage of the Wu people's unsteady camp, and rob the enemy camp at night. Li Dian would lead a thousand infantry troops to form the second team, and then respond.
Southwest of the city, Wu Camp.
The overwhelming firelight gradually extinguished, the show of force was over, and the sky was getting darker. It was time for the soldiers who landed in the camp to drag their tired bodies into their tents and rest.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Zhou Yu stood with his sword in hand, looking around at the generals in front of the tent with a pair of star-like eyes.
Ling Tong, Pan Zhang, He Qi, Chen Wu, Xu Sheng, Jiang Qin, all the generals who followed them in the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Jiangling were established and became famous all over the world. Today, after a long time, A few years later, he once again commanded them to fight on the battlefield. Not only Zhou Yu, but every one of them felt their hearts surging.
The handsome and free-spirited commander in front of them made everyone unconsciously impressed by him, and they were willing to go through fire and water for him, because they deeply believed that following Zhou Yu in the expedition would lead to unfavorable results.
"Everyone, Cao Cao only left 7,000 troops to guard Hefei, and he left three generals, Zhang Liao, Yue Jin and Li Dian, to lead the troops. I expect that the old thief Cao must have a plan before he leaves. These three people will probably take advantage of me tonight before I set up camp. Steady, lead the army to rob the camp at night."
As soon as these words came out, all the generals were shocked. Except for Ling Tong, many people still couldn't figure out how the three generals in the city dared to leave the city under such an absolute disadvantage. war.
However, even if they couldn't figure it out for a while, they never had a doubt, because they believed that as long as it was Zhou Yu's judgment, there was no need to question it, and it was naturally justified.
Zhou Yu was confident, and with a confident look on his face, he swept around the generals and said loudly: "If my prediction is correct, the enemy will use cavalry to rob the camp tonight, then we will use our plan tonight and take advantage of the opportunity to attack Hefei in one fell swoop. Everyone, once again Now is the time to become famous all over the world, are you willing to fight to the death for me, Zhou Yu?"
"Now that you have become famous all over the world, are you willing to fight to the death for me, Zhou Yu?"
The same words were said by Zhou Yu on the night before the decisive battle when Red Cliff was burned. It was that night that they defeated Cao's army, which was said to be eight hundred thousand men. Overnight, they, who were once unknown, became a topic of discussion in the world along with Zhou Yu's name.
Today, it seems that I have returned to that night.
The blood is boiling in the body, and the heart is as strong as steel.
"Willing to fight to the death for the Governor"
?"Willing to fight to the death for the Governor"
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the tent, Zhou Yu looked around at the faces full of fighting spirit, and a smile that was determined to win appeared on the handsome face.
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡
Thousands of miles away, Fancheng camp.
It was late at night, and the camp was silent. Except for the occasional footsteps of patrols passing by, there was no movement.
It was a quiet night, but Cao Cao couldn't sleep.
He stood in front of the tent, with his hands behind his hands, silently looking up at the light of the spark that was just a few miles away.
That is the city head of Fancheng, a fortified city that his army of more than 100,000 troops could attack for dozens of days without being able to retreat.
He recalled the past when he went south to Jingzhou. Liu Cong's surrender allowed him to capture Jingzhou without any blood. He didn't even take a look at the small town opposite Xiangyang.
But now, it was this once inconspicuous city that stopped him before the Han River. He had sacrificed many elite people's lives, but he could not conquer it.
Jingzhou, it turns out, can be so tenacious.
"well¡¡"
Inadvertently, Cao Cao let out a sigh.
Just as he was sighing, the sound of footsteps came to his ears. The sergeants on the left and right immediately became alert and surrounded Cao Cao from all sides.
When I turned around, I saw a person hurriedly coming from the darkness. It was Liu Ye.
As a member of the Han family with the surname Liu, Liu Ye was rarely reused under Cao Cao. He has always been responsible for intelligence work.
Cao Cao waved his hand, and the surrounding warriors stepped aside and let Liu Ye approach.
"I have met the Prime Minister." Liu Ye bowed his hands and bowed. Under the dim light of the night, the face full of Confucianism seemed to have a worried expression.
Coming late at night with a worried look on his face, Cao Cao knew that Liu Ye must have brought some bad news.
"Zi Yang, is that boy Sun Quan attacking Hefei?" Cao Cao asked calmly.
Liu Ye¡¯s expression changed and his eyes revealed a strange light: ¡°How did the Prime Minister know?¡±
"The Northern Kingdom is at peace, Ma Chao fled to Hanzhong, and the big-eared bandit stumbled into Yizhou again. In this world, who else can cause trouble except Biyan'er?" Cao Cao stroked his arms and smiled, as if he had a clue about things. of pride.
"Prime Minister, things are going as expected. I can't wait. Yes, the Wu army has indeed entered Hefei, and there are fifty thousand soldiers and horses. The momentum is very huge." While admiring Liu Ye, he combined the intelligence just sent from Huainan with Cao Cao.
Everything seemed to be under Cao Cao's control. There was no trace of fear or worry on his face.
Cao Cao turned around and walked into the tent, and said calmly: "Sun Zhongmou, this kid, has been repeatedly dishonest. It seems that the previous plan to make him a cavalry general has failed."
Liu Ye, who followed later, said: "Prime Minister, the Wu army is powerful. If Hefei is lost, the Wu navy will go straight into the Huai River, and the entire Huainan will be undefendable. I wonder if it is time to consider withdrawing the siege of Xiangyang and returning to Hefei." ¡±
Cao Cao sneered, with a look of disdain on his face: "Biyan'er is still good at playing with power. When it comes to using troops, he is just a third-rate character. Although his army is large, there is nothing to worry about. Besides, before I left, I gave Zhang Le and others will have a plan, and as long as they follow it carefully, they will be able to force Bi Yan'er back."
At this moment, Cao Cao seemed to be strategizing and winning a victory thousands of miles away. His words were full of disapproval of Sun Quan.
"But Prime Minister, according to intelligence, the commander-in-chief of the Wu army this time is not Sun Quan." Liu Ye said in a meaningful tone.
"It's not Sun Quan? Who could it be?"
Cao Cao seemed a little surprised. There were only a handful of Wu people who could be regarded as handsome and talented. Now Lu Su was in Jingzhou. Apart from Sun Quan, Cao Cao could not think of anyone else who could be the commander of the army attacking Hefei.
Liu Yechen paused for a moment, then silently said two words: "Zhou Yu."
Zhou Yu
When he heard these two names, Cao Cao was shocked. His confident expression was instantly replaced by a look of astonishment, and there was a huge surprise in his expression.
"Zhou Yu, how could it be Zhou Yu? Isn't this kid mad to death by Sun Quan?"
With Cao Cao's power and strategy, Sun Quan lent Nanjun to Liu Bei, and his intention was to check and balance Zhou Yu. How could Cao Cao not see it? After hearing the news that Zhou Yu had been stripped of his military power and returned to Wu to recuperate, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????At such a critical moment, Sun Quan will use this person again.
There are only a handful of people in the world who can make Cao Cao feel a little afraid, and Zhou Yu can definitely be at the forefront.
"I heard that Zhou Yu has been recuperating in seclusion in recent years. There have been rumors that Zhou Yu died of illness not long ago. I didn't expect that he would come out again at this time. Prime Minister, this person must not be ignored."
No need for Liu Ye to remind Cao Cao that he was deeply aware of the seriousness of the situation in Hefei. Zhou Yu's sudden appearance suddenly broke his overall strategy.
If it was Sun Quan who led the army, or even if it was Lu Su who used the army, Cao Cao would be absolutely confident in Zhang Liao and the others. As long as they follow their plan, even if they don't repel the enemy, there will be no problem in defending Hefei.
But now, the enemy coach has been replaced by Zhou Yu, so the situation is very different.
I think back then, Cao Ren defended Jiangling with superior troops, but in the end, he was forced by Zhou Yu to abandon the city in a hurry. With Cao Ren's strength, he was no match for Zhou Yu, let alone Zhang Liole.
In an instant, all Cao Cao's confidence was gone, and everything on his face was anxiety.
Fancheng could not be captured for a long time, and the troops crossed the Han River and conquered Xiangyang. It is not known how long it will take. If Hefei has three advantages and two disadvantages, the entire Central Plains will be exposed to the enemy's front from both sides. The offensive and defensive momentum will be lost from now on. A possible reversal would be a situation that Cao Cao could not bear no matter what.
At this point, there is no choice.
Pacing in the tent, pondering for a long time, Cao Cao took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Send the order, the whole army is preparing to retreat, and will set off east to aid Hefei tomorrow morning."
¡¡¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡¡¡
The next day, Cao's army withdrew from Fancheng.
Two days later, Cao Cao's army retreated to Xinye.
Three days later, Cao Cao personally led his army to the east. He replaced Cao Ren with Cao Hong to garrison Wancheng and Nanyang, and used Wenpin to garrison troops in Xinye to guard against the enemy in Xiangyang.
Xiangyang City, the soldiers and civilians in the city were all excited after learning the news that Cao's army had withdrawn. Only then did the cloud of war that shrouded everyone's hearts really dissipate.
South of Xiangyang City.
Liu Feng and others stood outside Ma Changting and looked south, as if they were waiting for someone.
"I really didn't expect that Wu Hou would re-enable Zhou Lang this time. No wonder Cao Cao would withdraw his troops in a hurry." Liu Feng said with emotion.
Pang Tong smiled and said: "Back then, my lord was benevolent and righteous, and sent Zhang Zhongjing to save Zhou Lang's life. Now Zhou Lang has relieved the siege of Xiangyang on my lord's behalf. This can be considered as my lord's good deeds are rewarded."
With this reminder, Liu Feng remembered what happened back then. At the beginning, he was hesitant to save Zhou Yu. At that time, Liu Ba strongly opposed it and believed that there should be no future troubles. Only Pang Tong stood up against all the opinions and insisted on saving Zhou Yu. Looking at it now, Pang Tong really did. Prescient.
If it weren¡¯t for Zhou Yu, who among the generals of Soochow could have made Cao Cao so fearful and hastily led his troops to the east to aid.
Thinking about it, Liu Feng couldn't help but admired: "I didn't expect that chess move back then could be used today. Sir, you are truly a god of knowledge."
"Haha¡ª¡ª" Pang Tong stroked his short beard with his hand, a bit of pride between his brows.
While he was talking, dust and smoke started to rise from the south, and a convoy of vehicles came slowly.
"My brother must be here, let's go."
Liu Fengce immediately stepped forward and led a group of civil and military personnel from Jing Xiang to greet him.
Under the umbrella cover, the patient with a yellow complexion and a depressed expression seemed to be returning to the light at this moment. He looked around, and those familiar sights of his old place were like a magic medicine, soothing his dying spirit. At this time, he actually cheered up a bit.
"Brother, welcome home."
Liu Feng reined up his horse in front of the chariot and shouted to Liu Qi excitedly.
With the support of his attendants, Liu Qi stood up tremblingly, raised his head and looked into the distance. Under the dim sunlight, the familiar city was quietly bathed in golden color.
At this moment, countless painful and beautiful memories emerged from my mind one by one like a fleeting cloud.
This is the place where he grew up, where he has half his life's memories, where there are beautiful things, but also nightmares that make him painful.
Many years ago, when he was forced to leave here helplessly, he once thought that he would never be able to return to this place in his life. However, he did not expect that after so many twists and turns, at the last moment of his life, he could finally see it again. Take a look here.
At this time, Liu Qi's eyes were filled with tears, and thousands of emotions were reflected in the rolling crystal.
Seeing Liu Qi so excited? Liu Feng was also a little moved and said, "Brother, let's go. I'll accompany you into the city to have a look."
Liu Qi shook his head and choked with sobs: "Let's not go to the city yet. I want to go to my father's tomb to pay my respects first."
It is natural and reasonable to go to pay homage to your late father¡¯s tomb first when you return to your hometown. Thinking of the brotherly relationship between himself and Liu Qi, whether it was public or private, it was time to pay homage.
So Liu Feng asked the convoy to turn around, accompanied Liu Qi and a group of civil and military personnel, and went straight to the tomb of Liu Biao in the west of the city.
It was a stone tomb that was not too large in scale and not exquisitely repaired. A lot of weeds and vines had grown on it, and thick dust covered the tombstone.
Liu Feng supported the trembling Liu Qi and staggered to the tomb. The tearful Liu Qi bent his knees and knelt down in front of the tombstone.
"Father, I am unfilial, and I have come to pay my respects to you now." Liu Qi stroked the dusty tombstone with his hand, and he was so emotional that he burst into tears without realizing it.
"Father, Feng finally took back your inheritance for him. Your soul in heaven should rest in peace, father"
Liu Qi burst into tears, not knowing whether it was shame or joy, and knelt in front of Liu Biao's tomb and burst into tears.
?????????? Kuai Liang and other generations behind him include many of Liu Biao¡¯s former subordinates. Now seeing such a scene, everyone is moved by it, and many people also have tears in their eyes.
Liu Feng was also greatly moved by this situation.
He knelt on one knee, supported Liu Qi with one hand, and faced Liu Biao's tombstone with the other, and said solemnly: "Uncle, don't worry, as long as I, Liu Feng, are here, the foundation of our Liu family will be there. Your spirit in heaven will bless me and Brother, we will fight side by side and fulfill your wish to help the Han Dynasty."
"Father, father"
The evil sun is like blood, and in the wilderness, the cry is carried away by the wind.
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡
Three days later, Liu Feng set off, leading an army of 20,000 from Xiangyang, first heading south to Jiangling, and then marching west with his troops, heading towards Yidu County in a mighty manner.
In Jingzhou, Liu Feng still left Wei Yan to guard Xiangyang, Pang Tong and Liu Ba were left to guard Jiangling, and Chen Dao was left to guard the public security. Liu Feng himself led the surrendered generals Huang Zhong and Niu Jin, and led the western expedition army to join Ma Su.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the original Changsha elite 5,000 people, the other 15,000 people are the surrendered troops of Cao Jun and Guan Yu Army after reorganization.
The army went up the river and soon arrived at Ma Di's camp, located in the Yidu County seat and southeast of Yidao City.
Here, Ma Di has led his army to attack Yi Dao for several months. In fact, due to the previous events in Jingzhou, Liu Feng could not mobilize more troops. Ma Di's troops were not so much attacking Yi Dao as they were attacking Yi Dao. This surveillance contained Mengda's three thousand troops and prevented them from threatening Jiangling eastward.
"My lord, Meng Da is quite capable of using troops. It's not easy to attack Yidao City." After seeing Liu Feng, Ma Su said with emotion. Before that, he had tried to take down Yidao by himself, but after several battles, he had to give up this plan.
"If we fail to attack by force, we will have to outwit them." Liu Feng said with a smile, as if he already had a clever plan in mind. .
