Ji Han Da Sima

Chapter 193 Running into Yuzhou (Leader xxc1005 added)

The first month of the 12th year of Jian'an.

The main point of the rush operation is that rapid march is only one of its necessary conditions.If you only have the ability to march quickly but don't know what the enemy is like, your army will easily be in danger.If you can know what the enemy is doing at the moment, you can do it not only by traveling a hundred miles to gain advantage, but also by traveling a thousand miles away.

If Mengda rebelled, Sima Yi was far away in Wancheng, a distance of more than [-] miles.Sima Yi knew Mengda's character and traveled more than a hundred miles a day. It only took him eight days to arrive at the city and launch a fierce attack. On the [-]th, he broke through the city and killed Mengda.Compared with Xiahou Yuan, who is known for running around, Sima Yi is a real master of blitzkrieg.

Now Huo Jun took advantage of the situation and sailed north to cross the sea to Yuzhou. He sent three thousand elite troops to advance and marched two to three hundred miles in two days and one night. With the bravery of Ding Feng and Fu Xu, he defeated Xia Houyuan's troops.

Xia Houyuan was attacked and rushed into the Yujin camp. Yujin gathered the defeated troops at dawn the next day, burned the camp and the baggage, and cut off the pursuit of Chang Xi and Ding Feng.

In fact, Yu Jin thought too much and defeated the second battalion of Xia Houyuan and Xu Xi. Ding Feng, Fu Xu and Yu Shao were no longer able to pursue them.The 3000 men under their command followed the troops. In order to achieve the effect of a surprise attack, they only had six days of rations. They had already used them for two days, and the remaining rations were not enough to pursue them.If the pursuit fails, he may starve to death on the road.

But Na Changxi was defeated in the outer camp. He didn't have many soldiers at his disposal, and the tens of thousands of people in the city were short of food.He had long lost his will to fight, otherwise he would not have attempted to surrender to Yu Jin, and was prepared to temporarily live under Cao Cao's rule until the time was right to continue his rebellion.

If you ask why Chang Xi hates Cao Cao so much and always thinks about Cao Cao's rebellion, in addition to Chang Xi's own character, you have to ask about the immoral things Cao Cao committed in Xuzhou.

That is to say, Cao Cao massacred the people of Xuzhou and committed crimes in Donghai County. In the past, Cao Cao raised his troops to attack Xuzhou and defeated five cities in a row, killing many people.When they entered Donghai County, Cao Bao and Liu Bei defended Tanguo City. Cao Cao was unable to attack it, so he turned to attack Ying, Suiling, Xiaqiu, Xiangben and other cities.

If we look at the map of Xuzhou, Pengcheng and Xiapi counties were devastated, and the west of Donghai County was also ruined. The entire Surabaya River was blocked and hundreds of thousands of people were killed. It was extremely cruel!
Thanks to Cao Cao's failure to capture Tan Guocheng, Langya County and the eastern part of Donghai County were spared. Therefore, Taishan generals such as Wu Dun, Yin Li, Sun Guan, Zang Ba and others did not have any hatred against Cao Cao. Only Chang Xi My relatives were tortured by Cao Cao.With this hatred, it is not surprising that Chang Xi rebelled against Cao Cao several times.

Of course, as far as Chang Xi is concerned, being able to rebel against Cao Cao several times means that he is not a peaceful person.

When Ding Feng and Fu Xu attacked the camp, Chang Xi waited for a while and saw that Xia Houyuan's camp was really unprepared, so he sent troops to cooperate with Ding Feng and others in the battle.

After defeating Cao's army, Chang Xi inquired about the details of the visitor and learned that Liu Bei had sent rescue for him.Yi Changxi's heart was also moved, but this feeling came and went quickly.

After Chang Xi exchanged greetings with the three generals, he said with a smile: "Our department is short of food and grass now. I wonder if I can ask General Huo to donate some food and grass to help our people survive the winter."

Tens of thousands of people were trapped in the city, and the consumption of food and grass could be imagined.Chang Xi wanted to stay in the East China Sea and did not want to move, so he asked Yu Shao for food and grass.

As the talker among the three, Yu Shao was also the nephew of Sun He, the former prefect of Lujiang County, so he had some influence on Chang Xi's current thoughts.

After thinking about it for a while, Yu Shao smiled and said: "Prefect Chang, Liu Shijun and Liu Yangzhou have prepared money and food in Jiangzuo, and they want to hand over Guangling County to the prefect for garrison. Now you can follow us south to Jiangzuo."

"This?"

Chang Xi hesitated for a moment and said: "Most of the subordinates of a certain camp are from Donghai. It would be very difficult for them to leave their hometown now. If I can get Liu Shijun's support, I can involve Cao Cao in Jianghuai."

Yu Shao sneered in his heart and said: "Our army crossed the sea to save the prefect by taking him by surprise. Next time Xiahou Yuan may be on guard, how can the general protect himself?"

Chang Xi disagreed and said: "Wu Dun, Yin Li, Sun Guan, Zang Ba, etc. are all Xi's friends. They are also Xi's old acquaintances in Yu Jin. I will be fine in the East China Sea."

"General Chang means that Cao Cao wanted to kill the general and then quickly, and the general said that his friend Yu Jin also wanted to kill the general?"

While speaking, Fu Wei brought down a general under Xu Xi's tent, shook his head and sighed: "I thought that the general was valued by Liu Shijun, because he was the one who judged the situation, but I didn't expect..."

"What is this?" Chang Xi asked with a confused look on his face.

"Zi Yuan, please tell me." Fu Wei motioned to the surrendered general Wang Yi to speak. "promise!"

Wang Yi bowed slightly and said: "Meet General Chang. The general wanted to surrender to Duke Cao again. The generals thought that they could let Duke Cao decide the general's death. When the general heard about it, he thought that General Chang had violated Duke Cao's military order, so he surrounded and surrendered. He refused to pardon him and wanted to put the general to death."

"I also said to the general that the general's contact with Liu Shijun has violated Gong Cao's taboo. In any case, the general will die when he surrenders. I ordered me to kill the general when the general returns today, rush the troops into the city, and completely quell the rebellion."

Hearing this, Chang Xi's expression changed drastically. Even his good friend Yu Jin couldn't tolerate him. He really understood that his repeated jumping behavior had made Cao Cao very angry.Based on the current situation, there is not much way for him to go except to go south to Jiangzuo.

After a pause, Wang Yi said seriously: "I dare not lie about what I said. If the general doesn't believe it, he can ask other generals."

Chang Xi, who was a little suspicious, felt completely cold after hearing this. He forced a smile and said: "Shijun Liu treated me with great courtesy, and General Huo helped me from thousands of miles away. How could Xi dare to be ungrateful? He wanted to stay in the East China Sea, but it was difficult to leave his hometown. Just stay away.”

Yu Shao stood up and held up his hands, saying: "Our sergeants have difficulty in providing food and grass, and our troops are weak. We will set off for the return journey in two days. Please ask Changguang Ling to quickly order the troops and people to move away. If the details of our army are known in the forbidden area, the sergeants will be dispatched. Strike it sooner rather than later."

"Okay!" Chang Xi made up his mind and said, "I will leave with you in two days."

Chang Xi also realized the reality. Although his hometown was good, he couldn't enjoy it if he died.Liu Bei treated me very well and appointed a county to garrison troops in Guangling.The Jiangdu area has fertile water and soil, good fish and shrimps, and an abundance of sea salt, so it is also a good place.

Not to mention that Chang Xi is about to lead his tribe to migrate, and wants to go west to Yuzhou first.Yu Jin and Xia Houyuan, who were defeated by a night attack and retreated to Lanling a hundred days away, spent five or six days figuring out who attacked their army. As far as deputy generals are concerned, it was Huo Jun who was stationed at Ruxukou.

Xia Houyuan said with a cold face: "Huo Jun did not go to Hefei, nor did he go to Hangou to the East China Sea. He could only follow Sun Ce's strategy of attacking Chen Yu, lead his army across the sea to the north of Qu County, and then send elite troops to attack it. Only in this way can we explain our arrangement in Han The soldiers and horses in the ditch can't trace Huo Jun's whereabouts, but he can appear in the East China Sea."

Sun Ce's battle against Chen Yu can be called a classic surprise attack in the late Han Dynasty.Chen Deng and Chen Yu stationed troops in Sheyang, Guangling County, and Haixi, Donghai County respectively. Sun Ce dealt with Chen Yu's behavior of sending people to Jiangdong to stir up trouble. Like Huo Jun, he ordered Lu Fan and Xu Yi to cross the sea to attack Haixi and achieve a great defeat. Chen Yu broke into the city and looted the people.

Although Hou Yuan did not know Huo Jun's specific march route this summer, he could know how Huo Jun marched through simple reasoning from past battles.

Yu Jin thought for a while and then said: "Huo Jun's baggage was all on the boat and he sent his sergeants to fight deep in the county. He must not have much military rations and cannot fight for a long time. Moreover, he must have the intention of relocating the people to save Chang Xi. If it is true, he will not be able to fight for a long time. , Changxi has moved his family to the west. We should pursue him now, and we must not let Changxi escape easily and succeed."

Yu Jin, a man who knows how to fight and is good at fighting, saw at a glance the shortcomings of cross-sea operations. All the baggage and equipment were on board the ship, so he could only raid and fight along the coast, but could not fight deep into the inland counties.Once they go deep into the interior to fight, unless they can seize supplies on the spot, they will have to retreat to the ship, making it impossible to fight for a long time.

Xia Houyuan stood up suddenly and said: "In that case, I will lead the army to pursue and let Zang Langya lead the army to arrive soon to see if we can gain something."

"it is good!"

With the idea of ​​​​pursuing, Xia Houyuan and Yu Jin set out from Lanling and walked to Tanguo City. As Yu Jin said, Chang Xi, Ding Feng, Fu Xu and others had abandoned the city five days ago, leading four, Fifty thousand men, women and children headed west with their luggage.

Fortunately, there was a small boat for transfer. Yu Shao asked the young and old who were slowing down the march to board the boat and sail down the river in two or three days to Yuzhou.Then he went upstream to meet the remaining young and old.From the beginning, the march was slow, and it gradually increased by one to twenty miles, and later it could cover more than thirty miles.

For more than [-] miles, Xia Houyuan and Yu Jin pursued the troops one after another. On the middle road, they were frightened off by the ambush arranged by Huo Jun.When the two saw the big banner with the word "Huo", they were afraid but did not dare to pursue it.When Zang Ba led his pursuers to arrive, the three of them dared to continue the pursuit. By the time they reached Qu County, the people had already boarded boats in batches and crossed the sea.

The three of them looked at Yuzhou Island on the other side and could only sigh in despair!
