Shuhan

Chapter 216 Score twice, soldiers gathered in Shouchun!
late at night.

The Jiangdong army has retreated.

The fire on the grain and grass baggage has also been extinguished.

"How much food and grass was lost?"

Cao Hong stared at the grain and fodder officer.

The face of Wei Jun's food and fodder officer was also full of panic.

"General, nearly half of the food and grass have been lost, and the siege equipment has been completely lost. The rest of the losses are still being measured."

"what?!"

Cao Hong's eyes burst into flames, and he lifted up the collar of the Liangmo official, and then lifted him up.

"Can you say that again."

The food and fodder officer had a bitter expression on his face, so he could only look at Zhang Liao behind Cao Hong as if asking for help.

At this moment, Zhang Liao was covered in blood, but his expression was very calm.

"General Cao, I think it's better not to embarrass him."

Zhang Liao patted Cao Hong on the shoulder, and said, "Instead of embarrassing this grain and fodder officer, why not think about how to restore strength in the fastest time and bring Hefei down!"

What is lost on the battlefield must be regained on the battlefield!

Instead of venting your emotions on the food and fodder officer.

"Hmph! I'll spare your life, get out!"

After the food and fodder officer left in a hurry, Cao Hong turned to look at Zhang Liao, and asked, "Then according to the king's plan, what should we do?"

"Conscription in the local area, enough food and grass, take down Hefei before the king comes!"

Although Hefei was not lost in Zhang Liao's hands.

However.
Before King Wei comes, if Hefei is not taken down, then there is a problem with his ability!
"Okay! I will listen to the Lord now!"

The camp was attacked, and the camp fire was extinguished. Everyone in Wei Village fell asleep slowly with fear and exhaustion.

And at the same time.

In the middle of the night, a pair of bright eyes opened.

These are Lu Xun's eyes.

Do you think that the battle tonight is over?

The night is shrouded in darkness, only the faint moonlight sprinkled from the gaps in the clouds, like ghosts in the night.

He waved his hand lightly, and immediately a black shadow appeared beside him.

Jiangdong's elite soldiers approached quietly, with light steps, and their figures shuttled through the darkness like ghosts.

Suddenly, there was a dull drum sound, and Jiangdong soldiers put on bright red face masks one after another, preparing to attack.With an order, countless torches were lit, and the flames reflected the dark night sky, like a sea of ​​red, illuminating the Wei army camp red.

Jiangdong soldiers came out of the cage like fierce tigers, rushed into the Wei army camp, and the sound of killing shook the sky.Holding sharp knives, they were extremely ferocious and struck like a storm. The soldiers of the Wei army could not resist at all and were slaughtered.

Flames blazed in the night sky, smoke filled the air, and the battlefield turned into a hellish scene.Jiangdong warriors were killed in the sea of ​​fire until rivers of blood flowed, and corpses were scattered all over the field. Countless people died in battle at once.

Although Zhang Liao and Cao Hong didn't take off their armor at all, and immediately led their troops to reinforce them, Jiangdong's elite soldiers had already withdrawn after they were done.

It actually gave them no chance to kill them back.

"He's his mother!"

Cao Hong was incompetent and furious.

This Jiangdong rat is so cunning!

Originally thought he would not attack at night.

As a result, this Jiangdong rat didn't know what he had eaten, but he actually dared to attack at night!
After the night raid, I thought I could sleep peacefully tonight.

The results of it?
Was attacked again!

Although he reacted quickly to this.

However.
At this time, Wei Junying was in a mess and devastated.After the flames burned, many tents and buildings had been reduced to ashes, leaving only broken walls and charred wooden pillars, exuding a burnt smell.

Corpses were lying on the ground, and the ground was stained red with blood.The onslaught of the Jiangdong soldiers caused the dead soldiers of the Wei army to be scattered all over the place. Their bodies were piled up together, forming a terrible hill.The blood flowed into a river, condensed into a sea of ​​blood, and dyed the entire camp in blood red.

Half of the tents and supplies were looted, and the precious food, weapons and equipment were taken away by Jiangdong soldiers, leaving only empty ruins.

The hooves of galloping horses, howling soldiers, burning flames and shouts had all disappeared, leaving only silence and desolation.

The bitter cold wind blew the battlefield, blowing away the smoke of war and the blood of the soldiers.

The loss of food and grass is second.

The damage to morale caused even more headaches for Zhang Liao and Cao Hong.

Two consecutive surprise attacks by the Jiangdong army caused the morale of the Wei army camp to fall to the bottom.

in this way
In a short time, even if the gods come, don't even think about attacking Hefei.

"We can only wait for the king's reinforcements."

Zhang Liao sighed faintly, but had to accept this reality.

If it continues to be radical, I am afraid that even Wei Village will not be able to hold on.

"Order the sergeant to repair the city wall, send out scouts, and be on guard against another sneak attack from Jiangdong!"

He was really scared of Jiang Dong's sneak attack.

but
If this Jiangdong doesn't talk about Wude, if you dare to come again, I will teach you to go and never come back!
"It's Shouchun now."

Sima Yi pointed to the city across the river, and said softly: "When we arrive in Shouchun, I don't know how the battle is going. My king orders me to go down, will Zang Ba obey?"

The mighty river, as the second barrier of Lujiang County, Cao Pi got up from the king's chariot with deep eyes.

"This Shouchun is a good place."

Thousands of miles of fertile fields, if they can be used to farm fields, then there will be food and grass for the southern expedition to Jiangdong.

Sima Yi smiled lightly and said: "Huainan is a place of great shape, and it also has the advantage of Shaobei. If there is support from the central government, tens of thousands of troops can be raised."

Cao Pi nodded slightly, he got off the royal chariot, and took a group of personal guards to the mountain city of Bagong Mountain. Looking down from the mountain, the rolling water of the Huaihe River was in his eyes, and the gloomy jungle in the distance was also in his eyes.

"If you guard the river, you must guard the Huai River, that's true!"

Going up to Bagong Mountain, this Shouchun pattern is also presented in the eyes.

"The one in Shouyang draws the benefits of Jingru in the south, connects the riches of the three Wus in the east; connects Liang and Song Dynasty in the north, and the level is less than seven days; aids Chenxu in the west, and the land and water can not travel thousands of miles; the rivers and lakes are obstructed outside, and the Huaihuai fertilizer is solid in the inside. "

Sima Yi agreed behind Cao Pi.

The Bagong Mountain where the two are located is located five miles northeast of Shouchun City, north of Feishui River, south of Huai River, and faces the city of Shouchun County with Feishui River.

A few miles to the northeast of Bagong Mountain, there is Zijin Mountain, which echoes Bagong Mountain.

25 miles northwest of Shouchun City, there is Kip Stone Mountain, on which there are two Kip Stone Fortresses, which serve as a barrier for Shouchun and control the waters of the Huaihe River and Tianjin.

These three mountains are the northern barrier of Shouzhou.If the enemy army goes south from the north, they must first seize these mountains and make them important places for military strategists.

With these three mountains alone, the protection of Shouchun is as solid as gold.

"Not only can Hefei not be owned by Jiangdong, but this place cannot be owned by Jiangdong!"

Hefei is occupied by Sun Quan, so Jiangdong may extend his minions to Xuzhou.

If this Shouchun is given to Jiangdong, the difficulty will increase several times if he wants to go south to take Jiangdong.

"The embankment of Longquan has vast expanses of land, the tribute of Shuliu, the benefits of the barbarians, the collection of gold, stone and leather, the growth of budwood and arrow bamboo, the kuma of mountains and lakes, floods and droughts will not harm, and the native grass will grow. In fact, what is given in a famine year. This place is really a place of beauty!"

Chen Qun also echoed from the side.

Sima Yi analyzed seriously:
"Your Majesty, if you are facing the Huai River in the north, from Zhongli to the west of Hengshi in the south, you should set up a battalion every five miles, with 60 people, and you will be kept as tenants.

The Guanghuaiyang and Baichi Ercanals were built concurrently, diverting the river upwards and connecting the Huaiying Rivers downwards, and governing the various pits in Yingnan and Yingbei, passing through the canals for more than [-] miles, irrigating [-] hectares of land, connecting Huainan and Huaibei.

In Anfeng County, Huainan County, there are Shaopi Project and Yongle Canal.In Shouchun County, Lisuo County, Huainan County, there are fertile fields irrigated by Huai River and Fei River, and Huoqiu County in the west also has two ponds.

There are tens of thousands of hectares of irrigated fields, which can be self-sufficient, and can be said to be the foundation of the overlord. "

Overlord's Foundation?

Since it is the foundation of the overlord, it is even more forbidden to let Jiangdong go.

Although Sima Yi's idea of ​​building Huainan is good, Cao Pi's mind is not on building Huainan now.

What he was thinking of was Zang Ba in Qingxu Land, and Jiangdong Sun Zhongmou in Hefei!

"For several days in a row, there is no news from Xuzhou?"

On the other side of Hefei, with him dispatching Cao Hong and ten thousand vanguards, the city of Hefei will definitely be safe, and he has nothing to worry about.

But in Xuzhou, Zang Ba's intention of treason has been clearly revealed, how will he deal with it?

"No matter how Zang Ba responds, our strategy cannot be changed. Soldiers come to block water and cover them with earth. Your Majesty has nearly [-] troops under his command. Why be afraid of Zang Ba?"

What Sima Yi said woke Cao Pi up.

If he, the king, is afraid, the soldiers under him will be even more afraid.

Thinking of this, he frowned, and his eyes flickered.

"Go to Shouchun first, I want to see if Zang Ba dares to turn against me?"

He has countless soldiers in his hands, what is he afraid of being a tyrant?

After crossing Feishui, Cao Pi ordered Cao Ren to garrison the north bank, while he led the Chinese army into Shouchun City.

As soon as he entered the city lord's mansion in Shouchun City, before his butt was hot, scouts came forward to report the battle situation ahead.

"Report~"

The messenger entered the account all the way, and then knelt down in front of Cao Pi.

"Report to my king, urgent report ahead!"

Urgent report?

Is Hefei lost?

Cao Pi frowned, and Sima Yi moved quickly, and he had already brought the letter and handed it to Cao Pi.

The general's order unfolded, and Cao Pi frowned directly.

Shout~
The anger on Cao Pi's face was like a storm, his brows were furrowed, and the flames of anger shone in his eyes.

He bit his lower lip tightly, the muscles on his face were tense, his hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles were white, as if he wanted to vent his inner anger.The knuckles are protruding, and the veins on the back of the hand are prominent.

"Damn!"

Cao Hong couldn't even defend Hefei?
Not only was Hefei unable to defend, but even most of the military rations on the front line were burned by Jiangdong's night attack.

Incompetent bungler!

If it wasn't for Cao Hongnai's clan, he would have ordered him to be chopped off with one blow.

"Your Majesty, what is the news?"

Everyone in the hall fixed their eyes on him, and Cao Pi knew in his heart that he lost his composure just now.

He regained his composure in the shortest possible time, and said in a cold voice, "Report, Hefei is lost!"

After finishing speaking, General Cao Pi handed the report to Sima Yi.

Hefei lost?

All the advisers and generals in the hall showed astonishment on their faces.

This.
How can this be lost?

After the military report was delivered among the officials, Cao Pi looked around the officials and asked, "Everyone, what should we do now?"

Chen Qun immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you should march to Hefei as soon as possible, and take advantage of the unstable foothold in Jiangdong to recapture Hefei. As for the problem of food and grass, order the rear army to transfer food and grass. If Yuzhou is not enough, we will transfer from Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and Sili. Come! Make a quick decision, and don't miss the opportunity!"

fast!
Chen Qunduo's strategy is only one word.

Quick fight!

It will not be easy for Jiang Dong to gain a firm foothold in Hefei and then try to take it.

Think about how many people Jiangdong died under the city of Hefei, and how many corpses were lost?
Cao Pi nodded slightly, as if moved.

"What does Zhong Da think?"

Sima Yi nodded, and said, "Quick battle is right, but why worry about Zang Ba?"

Originally, in his conception, Zang Ba was dealt with first, and then he went to deal with Jiangdong.

If we go to deal with Jiangdong first, wouldn't it be an opportunity for Zang Ba to take advantage of it? If at a critical moment, this guy sneaks up from behind, wouldn't it put the army in danger?

Yes!

And Zang Ba!
Cao Pi frowned suddenly.

"Leaving the General in Shouchun is enough to deal with Zang Ba. The most urgent task is to take back Hefei!"

Hefei is a place of great shape, and letting Jiangdong go will undoubtedly make it even more powerful.

This is something Wei Guowan cannot see.

Although General Cao Ren was defeated again and again in Jingzhou, but at that time he was dealing with Liu Gongsi, Prince of Hanzhong and Guan Yunchang, Marquis of Hanshouting. Now, it is just Zangba.

Didn't the general deal with him with his hands?

Just when Cao Pi was about to give the order, the voice of the orderly came from outside the hall.

"Report~"

The messenger with the command flag on his back hurried forward and said: "Xuzhou urgently reports that Zang Ba led an army of tens of thousands out of Huai Ling, passed Zhongli and Xiquyang, and is already heading for Shouchun!"

Tens of thousands of troops?

Cao Pi couldn't help feeling nervous.

"How did Zang Ba know that I was in Shouchun?"

He has only reached Shouchun on his front foot, and his buttocks have not yet sat firmly!
Zang Ba is coming?
Is there a ghost inside?
He looked around the hall like a torch, and said: "Zang Ba raised a large army to come, but he didn't get my order, and his intention of treason is obvious, who can control him?"

Liu Ye stepped forward and warned: "Your Majesty, Zang Ba came here in honor of the king's order. Whether he is rebellious or not depends on his reaction. If Zang Ba dares to ride into the city alone, he is a loyal minister; if he dares not, he is a traitor!"

Liu Ye's words awakened Cao Pi.

"Yes, if he can enter the city, he will still be a loyal minister!"

It is too early to define Zang Ba now.

If Zang Ba knew his way back at this time, not only would the land of Qingxu be pacified without a single soldier, but he would also be free to deal with Jiangdong Sun Zhongmou.

As for Zang Ba
Just leave his whole body in the future.

If he dare not enter the city.

That's fine.

I will directly send troops to suppress it!
There are also good reasons, morality is on his side.

It's just Zang Ba.

Is it my opponent?
"Come up to the tower with me, I want to see the appearance of Xuzhou soldiers!"

Cao Pi led a group of officials out of the hall and walked up the Shouchun Tower.

Before Feishui.

Zang Ba led the Xuzhou army and lined up on the bank of Feishui. The army was neat and morale was high.

The battle flags in the army are fluttering, the battle drums are beating, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

Holding a long spear, he is heroic and upright, with firm eyes, exuding a fearless fighting spirit.

The Xuzhou soldiers were wearing armor and holding sharp knives, ready to fight.They lined up in a neat phalanx, their silver helmets gleaming, and their battle armor looming murderous.The soldiers held their weapons tightly, with determination on their faces. Although the tense atmosphere on the battlefield was depressing, they did not flinch in the slightest.

The Fei water is wide and turbulent, hitting the shore, and the waves on the water surface are rough, as if announcing the intensity of the upcoming battle.

The unkempt vegetation on the shore was flattened and dust was flying.

In front of him is the Xiongkuo Feishui, and in front of him is the army formation of the Wei army.Zang Ba calmly observed the situation on the other side, constantly thinking about tactics and strategies in his mind, making the best preparations for the upcoming battle.

The soldiers on the bank of Feishui were neat and orderly, but faintly revealed a depressing atmosphere, like a silent volcano about to erupt.

Seeing this Xuzhou army formation, Cao Pi was shocked.

This military capacity is not comparable to that of cannon fodder state and county soldiers!

"Whoever wants to be an envoy, let Zang Ba come!"

Zang Ba's army was full of murderous aura, and it didn't look like he came here with respect to the king's order.

But Cao Pi decided to give Zang Ba another chance.

"Your Majesty, I would like to go."

A counselor protrudes from Cao Pi's side. Cao Pi has a little impression of him and knows that he was born in Xuzhou.

"it is good!"

Cao Pi nodded, thinking that this person is related to Zang Ba.

Otherwise, dare not take risks easily at this time.

The envoy went down to the city, rode his horse to the bank, and then crossed the Feishui in a small boat.

Cao Pi watched Wei Wang's envoy approaching Zang Ba a little bit. However, before the two of them could say a word, he was shot dead by the impatient Zang Ba.

Seeing this, on the tower of Shouchun City, the king and ministers of the state of Wei didn't know Zang Ba's intention.

His opposition was revealed in front of Wei Guojun and his ministers without any concealment.

Cao Pi's body trembled slightly, the thick and thin blue veins on his neck were faintly visible, his face was gloomy, and the cold light in his eyes gleamed. He was like an angry lion, ready to attack at any time.His body leaned forward slightly, his breathing was rapid and powerful, his chest rose and fell violently, as if he was suppressing the anger and anger in his heart.

This Zang Ba, how dare he?

Who gave him the courage?

Dare to come against me?

Do you really think that I, Cao Pi, are not as good as my father?

I want the world to understand:

I, Cao Zihuan, am not inferior to my father, Cao Mengde!

Ps:

There are at least [-] words for tomorrow.
