Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Wuyin's battle situation is still in anxiety.Since Wang Ping retreated to Wuyin and Cao Shuang led an army to besiege, the two armies started a fierce offensive and defensive battle.

Facing Wang Ping's persistence, Cao Shuang first sent envoys to try to persuade Wang Ping to surrender.After the envoy entered the city, before he could say a few words, Wang Ping directly cut off the envoy's head, hung it outside the city tower, and told Cao Shuang why he surrendered to the city that he could not capture again.

Seeing this, Cao Shuang was furious, and immediately raised troops to attack the city. Dozens of trebuchets were arranged around Wuyin City to bombard the city walls, and most of the low walls on the towers were destroyed.Wang Ping set up a wooden fence on the city to resist the attack of the Wei army.

Then, under the cover of the trebuchet, the Wei army approached the city with a pre-built ladder to fight. Wang Ping filled the kerosene with wormwood, burned it and threw it out. Many Wei soldiers were burned to death.

In the dead of night, Wang Ping often ordered elite soldiers to go out of the city to attack the camp, disturbing the rest of the Wei army.It wasn't until Cao Shuang ordered people to surround the city and dig trenches, build fences outside the trenches, and build a tighter military camp, that this phenomenon was put an end to.

Seeing that the situation of the battle was tense, Xia Houxuan offered another strategy and ordered the soldiers to do civil engineering work, preparing to dig a tunnel into the city to cooperate with the soldiers attacking the city from the front.Wang Ping had made preparations a long time ago, and ordered Ju Fu to bury a water tank on the edge of the city wall, wrap it with cowhide, and lead a dog around the water tank to listen to the sound.

And dug trenches along the city to intercept the tunnels, and according to the dog's reaction, Jufu led his soldiers to strictly guard the nearby trenches.After the Wei army dug the trench outside the city, he was captured and killed on the spot.They also stored wormwood outside the trench, and when the enemy entered the tunnel, they burned it with wormwood. The smoke stimulated the Wei army who entered the tunnel, and more than a thousand people were smoked to death.

And so on, Cao Shuang had nothing to do in the face of Wuyin City, which had a force of more than [-] troops and two generals Wang Ping and Ju Fu garrisoned.On the contrary, due to the failure of the strategy, many soldiers under his command died in battle, and there was quite a lot of complaints in the army, and they were unwilling to continue to attack the city.However, Cao Shuang was afraid that if he returned in vain, he would be scorned, so he continued to adopt Deng Yang's strategy, using rushing chariots, and using ladders to storm the city.

"General, withdraw your troops!"

Finally one day, Shi Yangwei, the chief of the army, looked at Deng Yang who was still advocating Cao Shuang's siege, and couldn't help but said again: "It is difficult for us to break through the city today, and the rest of the roads are all in trouble. Wang Zhengdong is deep in the mountain road, trapped Due to the lack of food and grass; Tian Zhengnan has no way to defeat the bandits because of the arrival of reinforcements; our army is blocked by Wang Ping, and there is no way to break through the city. General, we might as well withdraw our troops!"

Cao Shuang, who was fiddling with the car model, showed displeasure on his face, and said, "Shiying joined the army for Shuang, how can he be timid and fearful because of a temporary difficulty, and An Neng is timid? The bandit army is currently weak and trapped in the city. Maybe it will be more than a month later." , you can break the city, and now you can retreat."

Yang Wei looked at the confused and confident Cao Shuang, sighed helplessly, and said: "General, there are bandit reinforcements arriving from all directions, but our army has not seen any trace of the bandit army so far. According to what the Taifu said, there may be something strange. It needs to be studied in depth, and it cannot be used by the bandit army."

Deng Yang snorted softly, and said: "Taifu Sima lives far away in Yecheng, and he only knows about the current battle situation through letters. Why should he falsely report his military exploits during the battle of Yiyang?"

Under Deng Yang's tireless study, Sima Yi's dark past was pulled out one by one by him, especially the result of his small defeat at the hands of Liu Chan in the Battle of Yiyang. Great victory in Yang.

Yang Wei also had nothing to say, so he could only curse: "The ones who harmed the army should be Deng Yang and Li Sheng."

Deng Yang spread his hands and said aggrievedly: "General, this is not Yang's fault. In fact, it is Yang Wei who is disrespectful and slandering me."

Yang Wei looked at Deng Yanggui's swishing look, and he really hated him, but he was helpless.

Cao Shuang coughed lightly, and reprimanded him, "Xuan Mao, the Grand Tutor is an important minister of the Great Wei, so it should not be underestimated. However, what Yang Canjun said is not without reason. Why didn't his bandit reinforcements come to rescue him? I haven't seen him yet?"

Cao Shuang has learned to be good. Last time, because of his favoritism, the two armies fell apart. This time, he will not talk about Sima Yi.

Deng Yang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "General, this matter is very easy! It must be that the bandits have few soldiers and are afraid of our army's strength, so they dare not come to support. Wang Ping was besieged by our army, and the rest of the bandits He will come here, but he was easily captured and killed by our soldiers."

Listening to Deng Yang's explanation, Yang Wei almost burst into tears, what kind of teammate is this!He doesn't understand military strategy, so he doesn't rely on himself to be favored to explain it forcibly.I knew that when the Shu Han seized Guanzhong, I followed the example of Lu Zhi and took refuge in the Shu Han. Maybe I was like Lu Zhi at this time, an official of two thousand stones, so why did I cooperate with these people.

After a long time, Yang Wei finally choked out a sentence and said: "I hope the general thinks twice, don't let the current situation be overshadowed by the current situation."

"Yes!" Cao Shuang responded, and then happily discussed the method of attacking the city with Deng Yang.

Yang Wei sighed, put his hands behind his waist, turned around and went out of the camp to look for Xia Houxuan.

Xia Houxuan also suggested Sima Yi's words to Cao Shuang. Perhaps Xia Houxuan was unwilling to retreat, and his attitude was not too tough.But for Yang Wei and others, Xia Houxuan is the only one who can persuade Cao Shuang to retreat.

As for Sima Zhao originally wanted to return to the former army to attack the city, but after receiving Sima Yi's letter, he resolutely chose to continue to supervise the transportation of food and grass.

……

In Shang'e Township, a hundred miles away from Wuyin City, Han troops from the three prefectures gathered here, and the sounds of soldiers practicing were endless.The scouts kept coming and going to report the military situation and pass on the battle reports of Biyang and Wuyin.

In the camp of the Chinese army, Deng Ai was looking at the terrain information collected by the scouts, thinking about the strategy of marching.

Deng Ai led Xiangzhou sergeants to Jingzhou for a long time. He originally wanted Pu Zhong to rescue Biyang City, so he led a large force to join Wang Ping to force Cao Shuang back.

But unexpectedly, Wang Ping refused, and proposed a strategy, saying that Wuyin City can hold on without rescue, and stick to the city by himself, which has since drained the morale of Cao Shuang's army.When Cao Shuang was tired, Deng Ai led his elite to attack him, and he chased after him, and he could defeat the Wei army.

For Wang Ping's suggestion, Deng Ai agreed with both hands.He also originally thought that Cao Shuang's soldiers were full of morale and they were the elite of the Chinese army. With the current strength of the troops, the big man would not get much benefit from a head-on collision.Therefore, it is better to garrison in place, observe the fighter planes, wait for the enemy's fatigue or the enemy's mistakes, and then advance to attack.

It's just that Wang Ping is his immediate boss and the general of the country. If something happens to him, he will be held accountable, so Deng Ai rushes to rescue him.When Wang Ping had the same idea as Deng Ai, Deng Ai resolutely stopped his troops and sent out a large number of scouts to carefully observe the battlefield situation and convey the information to the army.

Seeing Fan Jian enter, Deng Ai asked, "Mr. Fan, is there any news ahead?"

Fan Jian nodded slightly, clasped his hands and replied: "Guo Huai has retreated to camp [-] miles outside Duyang City. Wang Ling stationed troops in Huaiyuan because our army disturbed the Liang Road, and waited and watched the situation. Only Cao Shuang's army is still besieging Wu. In Yincheng, Tian Yu's troops are still facing off against our soldiers, and there is no foreign aggression."

"Okay!" Deng Ai clenched his fist, quite happy with the current news.

Unable to hold back his temper, Fu Xun cupped his hands and said, "Ex-general, Tian Yu has few soldiers. Why don't our army attack Tian Yu first and then Cao Shuang, so as to greatly defeat Wei's forces."

Deng Ai shook his head and said: "Although Tian Yu is still attacking our army, he also knows that our reinforcements are outside, so he has a certain amount of advance and retreat, and it is really difficult to hit with one blow. If one blow fails, Cao Shuang will be disturbed. A small loss is a big deal. Moreover, Your Majesty wants to conquer Hedong, but also restrain Cao Shuang's army, so he must not be ordered to return to Luoyang quickly."

Deng Ai and Wang Ping's appetites are still relatively large, and the [-] army under Tian Yu's command is not the elite of Cao Wei.The real elite is in Cao Shuang's hands. This is Xia Houxuan's family property accumulated after years of hard work. If he can defeat Cao Wei's army and restrain Cao Wei to support the Hedong operation, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

"Then what should our army do now?" Fu Xun asked.

Deng Ai pondered for a while and said, "No hurry, wait for a while and see what Cao Shuang's troops do. And send a large number of scouts to explore the mountain trails to see if there is a way to go straight behind Cao Shuang."

Then, Deng Ai ordered: "Order to inform the Wu people of the Han and Wei wars, and let the Wu people know that Hefei and Shouchun are empty."

"promise!"

As the governor of Xiangzhou, Deng Ai kept in mind the dirty things in Wu's past. He could not follow the example of Guan Hou and underestimate Sun Wu, so that Lu Meng stole his home during the Northern Expedition.

Telling Wu Guo about the battle ahead, on the one hand, I was still staring at them, warning them not to do backstabbing;
