Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

"If Jiongyang is lost, Jieyin will be the top priority! We must not lose it again!" Miao Xun said in a heavy tone.

Once Jianyin also falls, Xuchang's flanks will be in danger. The entire Yuzhou battlefield will be at a disadvantage for them in terms of the overall battle situation. They may even be forced to abandon Xuchang voluntarily as a last resort. , to avoid falling into a situation of being faced with enemies on both sides.

Although Xuchang became a very famous place in the late Eastern Han Dynasty because of Cao Cao, it was indeed not an easy place to defend, especially when many dangerous passes in the west were actually in the hands of the Jin army.

Since ancient times, Xuchang has controlled Ru and Luo in the west, with Beijing diverting rivers and Huaihe rivers. It has a convergence of boats and vehicles, and the land is fertile. It is a beautiful area in Zhongzhou. Because, as far as the whole of China was concerned at that time, Henan was a livable center, and as far as Henan as a whole was concerned, Xuchang was also a livable center.

There is the Yellow River as a barrier to the north, but it will not be affected by its overflow. To the west is the dangerous Hulao Pass, with many mountains as a barrier, and to the south is the Huai and Han Rivers. It can be said that this place is crucial to mastering the Central Plains.

In such a plain area, once two groups of soldiers and horses surround them, especially if the opponent has many iron hooves, they may not be able to escape by then!

Therefore, Jianyang has been lost, and Jieyin, who is the last line of defense on Xuchang's flank, must guard tightly and not give Zhang Liao any chance.

"With Lin Renzhao as general, Wei Hu and Luo Shaowei as lieutenants, we will lead [-] troops and station in Zhuoyin to support Wu Jie!"

"In addition, matters related to Xuzhou are not allowed to be spread again. Anyone who dares to comment will be killed immediately!" Zhao Kuangyin sighed heavily.

Lin Renzhao's reinforcements, coupled with Wu Jie's original strength of more than [-] troops, are actually enough to defend Zhang Liao's Guangwu Camp, as long as they don't fall into the enemy's plan like Shi Shouxin did before!

As a defensive side, half the force is more than enough!
  However, after allocating part of the troops to Wu Jie again, Zhao Kuangyin was even more stretched to deploy the troops to Xuzhou. Even if he gritted his teeth and sent some of his troops to Xuzhou, it would be equivalent to sending them directly!

Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin could even imagine how low the morale of the soldiers would be once the news about Xuzhou spread to all armies! Even if he took some preventive measures in this matter, Zhao Kuangyin was not optimistic about how effective it would be.

After all, even if he ordered his generals to strictly prohibit external news and not spread it to the mouths of the soldiers below, how could the Jin army, as the enemy, give up this opportunity to suppress their morale?

"Give it a rest, Zou Ji sent envoys to Liu... His Majesty and Zhu Yuanzhang respectively, and asked others to allocate their own troops to cooperate with our army to return to Xuzhou!" Zhao Kuangyin sighed again.

Zhao Kuangyin was originally accustomed to directly addressing Liu Bei by his first name, but when he thought that Liu Bei was the emperor of the Qing Han Dynasty after all, they were still nominal subordinates of each other, he finally changed his name temporarily.

In fact, the only one Zhao Kuangyin hopes for now is Liu Bei. Zhu Yuanzhang also faces hundreds of thousands of Jin troops. Even if the other party is willing to help, he may not be able to put in much effort.

And if it is possible to send troops from Liu Bei, then it would not be a bad idea to send some of the 15 troops to Xuzhou! After all, although the pressure on Yanzhou is not small, it is at least incomparable to Yuzhou.

Zhao Kuangyin did not expect to wipe out all Dou Jiande's troops, but at least he had to keep Pengcheng. If the families of generals big and small fell into the hands of the Jin army, then this battle would be impossible to fight!

"Lord, Xuzhou is in danger, and people's hearts are bound to be unstable. We must be on guard against this!" Miao Xun reminded. With such a big thing happening in the rear, not to mention the soldiers, even the generals may have dissent when they should have been loyal to Zhao Kuangyin.

The whole family is in danger, and the hope of winning is getting slimmer. It would be strange if something like this doesn't happen!
  "Pengcheng has not been broken, so I think it will be fine for now. The Imperial City Department will just step up the security!"

Zhao Kuangyin originally thought that Pengcheng was at least still under their control at this time. At least before Pengcheng was lost, even if the generals had some dissent, it was impossible to really make any changes.

But in fact, the matter is more serious than Zhao Kuangyin thought!
  Regarding matters related to Xuzhou, it is okay to hide the news from the top soldiers under his command, but the top civil and military officials of the Xuzhou forces must not be able to hide this news from them!

Within a few days, a rebellion occurred that caught Zhao Kuangyin off guard and was extremely distressing.

Zhao Ji, the magistrate of Changshe County, rebelled against the Jin Dynasty and opened the city gates. The guard of Changshe, Chen Ba, fought hard first and then later, but was unfortunately captured. Only generals Zhao Bifang and Xia Luqi led [-] cavalry to fight out, and the remaining [-] troops were all killed. Either dead or captured, only a few thousand escaped.

When the news came out, the whole army was in an uproar. Zhao Ji was a member of the Zhao clan and a bloodline of the Zhao family, but such a person took the lead in rebellion. You can imagine the confusion among the people.

After Zhao Kuangyin received the news, he put a bowl of white rice on the table and kicked the plate of vegetables on the table away as if he was upset.

After getting angry, he took the white rice on the table and a few chopsticks and put it into the bowl and ate it slowly. He didn't mind that the green vegetables he threw to the ground were stained with dust, so he picked them up one by one and started eating them. Arrived in the bowl.

Today, Zhao Kuangyin's forces are seriously short of food, and Zhao Kuangyin himself sets an example by having only one plate of vegetables and rice for each meal.

"Chen Baxian fought with great merit, and I would like to report to Your Majesty to ask for merit for the Chen family. You can make Chen Baxian's son Chen Xu the Marquis of Xia Piting!"

"Zhao Ji is a treasonous thief who deserves to be punished for his crime. Send a message to Yi Yin and order his son Zhao Heng and his wife and children to be executed!" Zhao Kuangyin waited until he had eaten and drank enough before he said in a low voice.

As a clan member, Zhao Ji took the lead in rebellion, so he must be severely punished, and it is precisely because of his clan status that he must be punished even more severely. In addition to Zhao Gou who rebelled with Zhao Gou, obviously, his wife and family members who are still in Pengcheng As well as his other son Zhao Heng, Zhao Kuangyin has no plans to keep him at all.

As for Chen Baxian, this is a scene of treating others with tolerance and winning people's hearts.

If he died in a fierce battle, the emperors would naturally write a book about this meritorious official. But if he was captured in a fierce battle, it would be almost meaningless, but it did not prevent Zhao Kuangyin from giving him a reward at this time.

At this time, Zhao Ji, who was in the Changshe, was so proud of himself. Obviously, he did not expect that everything would not develop in the direction he expected.
