Liu Qi, the eldest son of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 105 Wancheng - Cao Cao's Pain

() "Wan" is one of the earliest place names in Nanyang.Wan, not only reflects the geomorphic characteristics of the "basin", but also reflects its ecological environment.Its meaning: the four sides are high, the center is yang, and it is in line with the landform characteristics of Nanyang, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides in the west, north and east, and the center is low and flat; <At the beginning of autumn, the state of Chu in the south became stronger day by day, and successively annexed the states in the Han River Basin to the north, and the two countries of Lu and Shen were also destroyed by King Wen of Chu.After the state of Chu occupied this piece of land with both fertile and beautiful soil and the convenience of rivers and rivers, it established Wanyi here as a base for aspiring to the Central Plains.Wan's name started from here.Later, Wan evolved from a geographical name to "Wancheng".

Wancheng is located in the Nanyang Basin, the largest basin in the east of China. It rests on Funiu on its head, steps on Jianghan on its feet, borders Tongbai on the east, and straddles the Qinling Mountains on the west. It is a land of farming, where the famous "Battle of Danyang" between Qin and Chu and the story of the Three Kingdoms "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage" took place here.It once gave birth to historical celebrities such as Zhuge Liang, the sage of wisdom, Zhang Zhongjing, the sage of medicine, Zhang Heng, the sage of science, Fan Li, the sage of business, and Jiang Ziya, the sage of seeking.During the Warring States Period, it was a famous iron smelting center. Later, it was the seat of Nanyang County, one of the 36 counties in the Qin Dynasty. Township".

Yuan Shu once occupied Nanyang and Runan counties, he is not a fool.Relying on the power of the Yuan family, they occupied the two most affluent counties at that time.It's a pity that Yuan Shu is arrogant, extravagant and lavish, and extortionate and extorting violently. As a result, two rich counties were ruined for nothing.

Wancheng used to be Cao Cao's sad place, where Cao Cao lost his eldest son Cao Ang, loved his nephew Cao Anmin, and his general Dian Wei.The reason is Cao Cao's lust and carelessness.This battle became the most painful battle in Cao Cao's heart.

At that time, it was the second year of Jian'an.Cao Cao conquered Jingzhou and came to Wancheng, where Zhang Xiu surrendered.Cao Cao was very happy.But because Cao Cao accepted his uncle and sister-in-law Zou, Zhang Xiu felt humiliated and wanted to take revenge on Cao Cao.Heeding the advice of counselor Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu rebelled against Cao Cao and raided Cao Cao's camp at night.And let Hu Che'er get drunk and Dianwei stole Dianwei's Shuangji.

Since Cao Cao was unprepared for the surprise attack, Zhang Xiu gained the advantage.Cao Cao got on his horse and fled. General Dian Wei followed behind to prevent the enemy from entering the gate of the village.But Zhang Xiujun entered from other village gates and surrounded Dianwei.Dian Wei had only a dozen or so people around him, fighting desperately.Dian Wei stabbed left and right with a long halberd, killing more than ten enemy soldiers, and the corpses were scattered all over the ground.Dian Wei was wounded in more than ten places, but still persisted in fighting, and took two enemy soldiers to death.The rest of the enemy did not dare to go forward, so Dian Wei stepped forward and killed several people. They were seriously injured, stared and cursed and died.Zhang Xiujun did not dare to go forward to take his head until they confirmed that Dian Wei was dead, and then returned to the camp.

Cao Cao's son, Cao Ang, gave up the war horse to his father, and bravely blocked Zhang Xiujun from behind.Although he bought time for his father to escape, he was surrounded and killed.Cao Cao's nephew Cao Anmin was also killed.At this time, Cao Cao had withdrawn to Wuyin.He wept bitterly when he learned of Dian Wei's death.

Now, Cao Cao came here again.Looking at the majestic city, Cao Cao felt uneasy for a while. No one has ever made me Cao Cao so embarrassed.Liu Qi, Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu, I, Cao Cao, will make you pay with blood in honor of my son's spirit in heaven.In fact, Cao Cao still likes the eldest son Cao Ang the most, but it is a pity that because of Cao Cao's good looks, his good life was ruined.

Wancheng is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.The moat is also wide and deep.Therefore, Cao Cao was not in a hurry to attack the city.Send troops to sweep Zhui County and Wuyin City, and then send [-] troops to station thirty miles away from Wancheng.

Liu Qi also set up two large camps outside Wancheng, each with [-] yuan as horns.Wei Yan, Liu Pi, and Hu Che'er guarded the left camp; Li Yan, Zhu Ran, and Su Fei guarded the right camp.At the same time, Zhuge Jin was ordered to lead the three young generals Lu Meng, Xu Sheng, and Ling Tong to station an army of [-] sailors on the south bank of the Feishui River.So Cao Cao has nothing to take advantage of.

This time Cao Cao came aggressively, and to be honest, Liu Qi was still a little uneasy.After all, he was the number one soldier in the Three Kingdoms, and even the later Taizu highly respected him.

Hundreds of cao camps are practiced together, stretching for dozens of miles.Of course, Cao Cao would not make the same mistakes as Liu Bei, with a battalion of seven hundred miles, and stationed in dense jungles.Cao Cao's camp is well-arranged, can be attacked or defended, and hides mysteries.It should be from the hands of good generals, and it may be the "willfulness" of the "five sons of good generals".

Three days later, Cao Cao started a tentative attack.First, general Xu Huang, deputy general Cai Yang, led [-] troops to attack Liu Qi's left camp; another general Zhang He, deputy general Gao Lan, led [-] elite troops to attack Liu Qi's right camp.The war has begun.

It is not feasible to stick to Wancheng, after all, there are many roads leading to Jingzhou.It's just that Wancheng is the closest one, so a decisive battle with Cao Cao is also Liu Qi's goal.

It was Xu Huang's department who took the lead.Xu Huang is also Cao Cao's old subordinate. Since Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian, he has followed Cao Cao.After that, he became a loyal general of Cao Cao, followed Cao Cao to fight in the north and south, and made great contributions to Cao Wei.Cao Cao divided his troops to Xu Huang, sent him to attack Juan and Yuanwu, defeated them, and was worshiped as a general.He followed Cao Cao to attack Lu Bu, and surrendered Lu Bu's generals Zhao Shu, Li Zou and others.Later, he beheaded Suigu with Shi Huan in Hanoi.

In the Battle of Guandu, Xu Huang followed Cao Cao to defeat Liu Bei who had defected to Yuan Shao, followed Cao Cao to defeat Yan Liang, conquered the white horse, and entered Yanjin, where he defeated Wen Chou and was worshiped as a partial general.After that, he struck Zhu's arm with Cao Hong and broke it.At that time, Cao Cao sent troops to fight Yuan Shao, but returned after losing the victory, and defended himself firmly.At that time, Yuan Shao sent thousands of carts of grain and grass to Guandu.Counselor Xun You said to Cao Cao: "Yuan Shao's grain truck arrived overnight, and the general Han Yong who escorted the grain and grass was brave but underestimated the enemy, and he could be defeated by attacking."Cao Cao asked: "Who can take on this important task?" Xun You said: "Xu Huang can."Cao Cao then sent Xu Huang and Shi Huan with several thousand cavalry to attack Han Meng, intercepting and burning his belongings in the old city.In this battle, Xu Huang contributed the most and was named Dutinghou.

Wei Yan also felt a little stressed when fighting against Xu Huang, who had been famous for a long time, was brave and good at fighting, and had a well-organized army.But Wei Yan is not the Wei Yan before after all.Every time Liu Qi fought in the north and south, he was not entrusted with a heavy responsibility, either as a vanguard or as a general with two wings.

As Liu Qi, the "veteran" Wei Yan here is also experienced in many battles. Although he is still close to Wei Yan's peak moment, he has not fallen behind in fighting Xu Huang.

Since Xu Huang came to attack, Wei Yan is not idle, he has the advantage of the land, don't be an idiot.In front of the camp, trenches, walls, horses and antlers are arranged.Bed crossbows, large crossbows, chariots, and grain carts are arranged behind the camp gate, which can not only serve as a cover for archers, but also prevent the opposing cavalry from rushing into the camp.
