Chapter 2689: Yu Hualong invites Yuan Jiuling, all forces assist Cao Wei

In the battle of crossing the river and breaking through Baimadu, Bai Qi fought extremely easily, and Le Yi was completely played by Bai Qi in the applause.

Bai Qi deliberately hid [-] soldiers in order to mislead Le Yi, making him think that the Qin army would divide the troops to cross the river, and the goal was not only Baimadu, so as to force Le Yi to divide the troops to garrison Yanjindu.

Le Yi was really fooled, even though he knew that there might be fraud, he didn't dare to gamble, so he had to divide [-] troops to defend Yanjin.

In fact, when the war progressed to this point, it was already doomed that Le Yi would not be able to defend Baimadu, but Baiqi still had a bigger strategic goal, so he didn't rush to reveal his cards.

Bai Qi first ordered Hao Zhao to lead [-] cavalry, pretending to be an army of [-], and set up camp on the north bank of Yanjindu.

In more than half a month, Bai Qi launched a total of five river-crossing operations, with an average of three or four days to launch an attack on Baimadu. Each time the two sides fought extremely fiercely, but every time Le Yi also defended the water village .

After repelling the Qin army one after another, Le Yi was also full of confidence in defending Baimadu. It can be seen that the Qin army had not launched an offensive against Yanjindu for more than half a month. He immediately realized that something was wrong, so he sent a message to Yin Zhourang It proves the reality of the Qin army.

Yin Zhou was also very concerned when he learned about it, and even swam across the Yellow River to investigate in the dark, and found out that the Qin army in the Qin camp on the north bank was just a suspicious army, and there were no 5 horses at all.

After Yin Zhou returned, Feige sent a letter to inform Le Yi first, and then summoned soldiers and horses to cross the river to swallow the Qin army first, but Le Yi stopped him before he could act.

The reason why Le Yi stopped Yin Zhou was because whether or not he could eat the Qin army had no effect on the overall campaign. On the contrary, after Yin Zhou led his army across the river, if it was too late to return, it was likely to be attacked by the Qin army. siege.

Le Yi's decision was correct. Although Hao Zhao didn't have many soldiers and horses, he deployed a large number of spies on the north bank of the Yellow River. Naturally, these spies couldn't find Yin Zhou, but it was impossible that they couldn't find Wei Jun.

Once Yin Zhou crossed the river, Hao Zhao would immediately withdraw to the north, attract Yin Zhou, lure the enemy deep, and then encircle and wipe out Yin Zhou's troops, so Le Yi's stopping Yin Zhou also saved his life.

At this time, Le Yi had already discovered Bai Qi's intentions, Yanjin was just a cover, and the main direction of the Qin army's attack had always been Baimadu. He immediately prepared to drop Yin Zhou's army to come to Baimadu, but it was obviously too late.

It just so happened that Bai Qi also received news that the Qin army on the southern line had broken through the three major lines of defense in Yingchuan and was about to march into Xuchang, so he stopped pretending to close the net directly.

Hidden in Dongfengye Valley of Liyang City, the [-] troops who have been hidden all the time marched directly to Baimadu, joined forces with Baiqi, and rushed to Baimadu under the personal command of Baiqi before Yin Zhou's reinforcements arrived. Launch an onslaught.

Le Yi personally commanded the battle, but because of five times of crossing the river, Bai Qi had figured out the layout of the Wei army's water village. In addition, the simultaneous attack of [-] Qin troops was too fierce, even Le Yi couldn't handle it.

After half a day of fighting between Qin and Wei, Le Yi realized that Baimadu could not be defended, so he voluntarily gave up Baimadu, led an army of [-] to retreat into Baima City, continued to defend, and left [-] dead soldiers to break the rear.

After more than half a month of entanglement between Bai Qi and Le Yi, he finally contributed to Baimadu. He could actually cross the Yellow River earlier and faster, but in order to wait for the cooperation of the southern line, he deliberately spent so long with Le Yi at Baimadu .

Now that Baimadu has been broken, the Hebei Qin army invaded the Central Plains, and Baiqi's plan to destroy Cao Wei in one battle can naturally continue to the second step.

After Yin Zhou received Le Yi's order, he immediately gave up Yanjin and prepared to support Baimadu, but before he arrived, he received news that Baimadu had fallen and Baiqi led his army into the Central Plains on the way.

Baimadu has been lost, and there are more than [-] Qin troops crossing the river into Dongjun, and the human body Yin Zhou has only [-] troops. If he meets the Qin army in the plain, it will definitely end with ten deaths and no life. Suspicious Yin Zhou Withdrew into Yan County overnight to guard Suanzao City in the rear.

At this time, Chenliu County, Suanzao City, once the place where the princes of the 36th Route met Dong, now became the command post of the Wei Army in the Middle Road to resist the invasion of the Qin Army.

Since Great Qin came out of Hulao Pass in the east and attacked the three lines of defense Cao Wei had set up to the west of Chenliu, Suanzao City replaced Chenliucheng as the governing place and became the general headquarters of Cao Wei's central line against Qin.

The reason is also very simple. After the Suanzao City is strong, its defense is strong, and it blocks the only way for the Qin army to go east. The geographical location is more important and superior, and it is more suitable as a command post than Chenliu City.

Suanzao is now the headquarters of Cao Wei on the center line. The grain depots of Wei Wang Cao Cao and Cao Wei Chenliu are all here.

This is also the main reason why Le Yi still chose to divide his troops and let Yin Zhou defend Yanjin when he was not 100% sure whether Bai Qi's second landing point was Yanjin.

Compared with Baimadu, Yanjindu is equally important, and Yan County is the last line of defense in the north of Suanzao.

What Le Yi and Yin Zhou didn't expect was that after Bai Qi captured Baimadu, he neither took advantage of the victory to attack Baima City, nor went south to attack Yan County, threatening Suanzao, the command post on the central line of Cao Wei. Dunqiu, Weiguo, Dong'e and other places in the east.

Wherever Bai Qi's army passed by, no city could hold on for more than a day, and even half of the county magistrates and guards were afraid of Bai Qi's prestige, so they came down to Kaesong and surrendered.

There are [-] counties in Dongjun, and Bai Qi almost didn't suffer too many casualties, and occupied most of the eastern part of Dongjun. He didn't give up until he attacked Puyang City and encountered extremely tenacious resistance.

So far, the Qin army's northern and southern armies have won a complete victory, only the central army has not yet gained a clear advantage.

Cao Wei always thought that the main general of the Qin army in the middle would be Ying Hao, and that Ying Hao's offensive must be the most violent, so he was always extremely vigilant against the attack of the Qin army in the middle.

Under Cao Wei's strict defense, Zhang Liao's attack on Cao Wei's central defense line has been advancing steadily, but compared to the two lines in the south, the progress is really not that fast.

The goal of Zhang Liao's troops has always been Chenliu. Although they have captured the four cities of Juanxian, Yuanyong, Putian, and Peilin, the second line of defense on the western front of the Wei army, and also captured the ten cities of Cao Wei, they still Even Chen Liu's side hadn't been touched yet, and Cao Cao blocked him in Henan.

Zhang Liao only needs to capture the two cities of Suohou and Xinzheng to completely flatten Cao Wei's second line of defense, and then flatten the third line of defense composed of six cities including Yangwu, Guandu, and Kaifeng. Then the central defense line of Cao Wei It was completely torn apart by Zhang Liao.

However, with the appearance of Ying Hao on the southern front and the news of the defeat on both the northern and southern fronts, Cao Cao must also change his strategy against Qin in the middle line.

After all, Cao Cao thought that Ying Hao was on the center line, and where Ying Hao was located must be the main attack direction of the Qin army, so he played so conservatively on the center line.

But Ying Hao gave Cao Cao a fright, and asked Zhang Liao to pretend to be attacking the center line, while he went to sneak attack on the south line.

This also shows that the center line is not the main attack direction of the Qin army, so Cao Cao naturally wants to change his combat strategy, and it is impossible to continue to be so passively beaten.

At this time, in Suanzao City, successive bad news came, and Cao Cao was almost numb.

After the news of Cao Yin's death in battle came back, Cao Cao cried bitterly about it once. After all, Cao Yin was his uncle and treated him better than his own father. Cao Cao would naturally feel sad when such a snow relative died in battle for him.

But when the news of the death of Cao De, Cao Shuang, Xia Houfeng and other clan members came back one after another, Cao Cao couldn't even cry, because if this continues, it is very likely that he will die next.

It is not surprising that the two armies are fighting each other and are enemies, but when dealing with royal family members like the Cao family and the Xiahou family,
Regardless of the fact that Cao Cao and Ying Wen were sworn brothers, and Cao Wei married four concubines into the Qin Imperial Palace, the Ying family and the Cao family Xiahou's family were originally relatives, and the Cao family and Xiahou's family were naturally royal relatives.

Cao Cao originally thought that Ying Hao, who has always been known for his generosity, would take into account his past friendship and let his generals show mercy when facing Cao Weizong's relatives, but he didn't want Qin Jun not only to not stay with his men, but to kill him instead.

For example: Cao Yin, Cao De, and Cao Shuang, they are not considered strong. With the bravery of General Qin, they can be captured alive, but they are still killed. Only Cao Wenzhao was captured.

Cao Cao thought that Ying Hao did it on purpose, and wanted to use this to force himself to surrender, but this in turn aggravated his dissatisfaction with Ying Hao. After all, he is a strong-willed person.

But no matter how dissatisfied Cao Cao was, there was no way to reverse the decline of the two defense lines in the north and the south.

When Cao Cao learned that Ying Hao was in Yingchuan, Cao Cao had already begun to formulate a counterattack plan on the center line, but the news of Baimadu's loss suddenly shattered Cao Cao's confidence in holding the west line.

Both the north and south lines of defense have been breached. Once Xuchang and Yan County are unable to defend, even Suanzao will be immediately surrounded by the Qin army. This also makes Cao Cao give up Chenliu and concentrate his forces to retreat to Jiyin, Shanyang, Taishan and other counties in the east of Yanzhou idea.

It's just that as soon as this idea came out, Cao Cao discussed it with the civil and martial arts under his command. As a result, many clan generals agreed, but the military adviser Fan Li objected.

"My lord, Chen Liu must not give up. Seventy percent of our army's money, food and supplies are concentrated in the three counties in the west, and half of them are stored in Chenliu. These supplies cannot be transported away in a short period of time.

If Chen Liu is abandoned, the money, food and materials from the eastern counties alone will not be able to support the current army at all, and will only lead to self-destruction. "Fan Li said with a serious face.

"That's right, abandoning the three armies in the west and retreating to the east can lengthen the Qin army's front line, but this is nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst. It's better to fight the Qin army in Chenliu to the end. It's natural to win, and there is no regret in losing, my lord. Haven't you already made up your mind?"

Xun You also opposed it.

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard the words. He had indeed decided before that it would be best to win the Qin army. Changed my mind.

Now Cao Cao's hatred is greater than reason, and he will not give up until he fights to the last step.

Seeing Cao Cao's silence, Fan Li said again: "Mainly attack, although the current situation is bad, it's not to the point of abandoning the west and defending the east.

Xuchang is the most fortified city in our Wei State. Behind the high walls, there is sufficient food and grass. General Cao Bin still has [-] defenders in his hands. The Qin army will not be able to attack it in a short time.

In addition, our state of Wei is in a hurry on both the north and south fronts. After Song and Ming learned about it, I am afraid that we will not be more anxious.

If Li expected it to be true, the reinforcements from the Song and Ming Dynasties were already on their way. "

Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes regained some brilliance, but he still sighed a little dejectedly: "What's the use of the army alone? Although my great Wei is short of soldiers now, what's more important is the generals, who can compete with Li Cunxiao and Lu Bu. , Zhao Yun and others will fight against fierce generals."

"Speaking of fierce generals, Li has two good news to tell my lord. General Yu Hualong has disappeared since the defeat in Jia County. It wasn't that he was a deserter because of a blow, but he went to find his son's master, Tianmo. The head of the sect, Yuan Jiuling, has gone.

Yuan Jiuling learned that all five apprentices died at the hands of Qin Jun, and decided to go down the mountain with General Yu Hualong to avenge his beloved apprentice.

In addition, under the lobbying of Shen Gongbao, the national teacher of the Song Dynasty, Chongjiu (Nine-headed Insect), the head of the Heart Demon Sect, and all the masters of the Demon Sect decided to stand on my side and help my great Wei fight against the Qin Qin army. "

As soon as Fan Li said this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "Really?"

"It's true."

"That's great."

Cao Cao couldn't help but be surprised. After all, Yuan Jiuling, the head of the Tianmo Sect, is a great master at the level of a great master. Even if he is not as good as Li Cunxiao, he is better than Lu Bu Zhao Yun and other Qin generals.

The head of the Heart Demon Sect, Chongjiu, is also a half-step grandmaster level master, and his strength is stronger than many grandmasters.

As for the other demon masters who dared to fight against Daqin, their realm would probably not be lower than that of a master.

With the help of these strong men from the Demon Sect to help Cao Wei fight against the generals of the Qin army, the pressure on Cao Wei will indeed be much lighter, but it is obviously absolutely impossible to win by relying on this.

"Report...to my lord, Song Wang Zhao Kuangyin has sent Zhao She as the chief general, leading Jiu Tun Tong, Gao Siji, Lu Xiong, Yang Zhen and other generals, leading an army of [-] to assist Xuchang."

"Report... my lord, Ming Wang Zhu Di has sent Lan Yu as the chief general, leading Niu Mowang, Niu Ruyi, Niu Hong, Fu Youde and other generals, leading an army of [-] to help Dongjun."
