Soldiers come to the world

_up;

At the same time that the Cao army counterattacked Nanyang on a large scale, the situation in Guanzhong also broke down. After the Han army opened the gap from Jieting to Longxian County, it added another 5000 troops to Longxian County, bringing the strength of Longxian County to [-]. With [-] people, Zhao Yun ordered Wang Ping to guard Long County. He, Ma Chao, Zhang Ren, Ma Dai and other generals led an army of [-] to attack Chang'an.

The wind in Chang'an was turbulent, and the official roads to the west were full of fleeing crowds. They dragged their families to avoid the war. Although the Han army had strict military discipline and did not disturb the people, the fear of war still caused the people in Guanzhong to flee to Chang'an.

At this time, the Cao army had [-] garrisons in Chang'an, commanded by the general Cao Ren, not only Cao Ren, but also Cao Zhi, the main general in Guanzhong, was also in Chang'an.

Outside the west city was already crowded with people, tens of thousands of people had gathered from all directions, but Cao Ren ordered the other city gates to be closed, only one gate of the west city was opened. A large number of people were stranded outside the city, and many of them had been outside the city for two days. People were terrified and their cries were loud.

On the top of the city, Cao Zhi looked at the dense crowd outside the city. Most of them were women, children, and old people crying. He really couldn't bear it. He asked Cao Ren several times to let them go into the city as soon as possible, but Cao Ren ignored his proposal. , making Cao Zhi resentful, but helpless.

At this time, there was a commotion outside the city, followed by heart-piercing cries. Cao Zhi was startled, and looked down while leaning on the battlements, only to see a group of Cao soldiers rushing into the crowd to whip and beat them, trying to A young man was taken away, and the young man cried desperately, while several elderly people and women beside him were beaten until their heads were bleeding, and they knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.

Cao Zhi was furious immediately, and he walked down the city quickly. The gate of the city was full of Cao Jun soldiers, more than a thousand people, searching the refugees one by one, and the interrogation was extremely strict. city ​​refugees.

"Uncle Three!"

Cao Zhi walked up quickly, restrained the anger in his heart, and raised his voice: "Please order the soldiers to come back immediately, and don't allow them to disturb the people!"

Cao Ren was a staunch supporter of Cao Pi, and he really looked down on this young third son. How could a frail scholar with a woman's mentality inherit the prime minister's ambition and hegemony.

He narrowed his eyes and wanted to laugh, "Didn't I tell my nephew? There are probably Han army spies among the refugees. Once they are allowed to enter the city, Chang'an will be in danger. Why doesn't my nephew understand?"

"But how long are you going to interrogate them like this? Do you consider their pain? And beat them up, third uncle, that's not acceptable!"

The smile on Cao Ren's face gradually disappeared, his expression became cold, and he said in a calm manner: "I would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one person go. It's just a bunch of stupid women and people. Why should my nephew take it so seriously?"

"you!"

Cao Zhi was furious, his face was flushed, and he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart any longer. He shouted: "Why Liu Jing became strong so quickly, isn't it because he won the hearts of the people? You abused the people in Guanzhong, and you clearly gave up Guanzhong to the people. Liu Jing, how are you going to explain to your father? No, I am the coach, and I order you to release him immediately, let me open the city!"

His voice was so loud that the soldiers all looked sideways. Cao Ren's face was ashen, and he turned his head to ignore him. Seeing that there was no result, Cao Zhi stomped his feet angrily, "Go and explain to your father!"

He turned around and left. Cao Ren watched him rush away angrily, and couldn't help but snorted coldly, "The kindness of a woman, why do great things!"

At this time, Zhong Yao walked up slowly, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "General Cao, don't be angry, Mr. Zhi is still young and acts impulsively, so you can understand him!"

Cao Ren was very polite to Zhong Yao, and quickly replied: "I am mainly worried that the Han army spies will mix in the refugees. If a hundred people mix in, they will fight outside at night and seize the city gate. At that time, Chang'an will not be safe. That's it."

Zhong Yao nodded with a smile, "I fully support General Cao's prudence. I really have to be careful of spies sneaking into the city, but I am also worried that Mr. Zhi will write a letter to the prime minister, which will be bad for you and me. Why don't we work around and give him face , can be regarded as an explanation to the prime minister, and everyone will live in peace, what does General Cao think?"

Zhong Yao is very good at talking, obviously he wanted to be flexible, but he pushed the problem to Cao Zhi, and reminded Cao Ren implicitly that after all, he is the son of the prime minister, so he must give him face, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the prime minister, which also gave Cao Ren a step, It's not like Cao Zhi's yelling, which intensifies the conflict in the end, but the problem cannot be solved.

Cao Ren knew in his heart that since Zhong Yao gave him the steps, he also wanted to give Zhong Yao some face, so he said with a smile, "I wonder how Mr. Zhong thinks we should change it?"

"It's actually very simple. I suggest that women, children, and the elderly be put into the city first. They are young and strong! Put them into the urn and check them carefully. Maybe they can be used as civilian husbands and let them help guard the city in exchange for rations. What do you think, the general?"

Cao Ren pondered for a while, then nodded. This plan is acceptable, and he immediately ordered: "Women, children and the elderly can go directly to the city, and all young men can go to the Urn City for interrogation."

When the order was issued, Cao Jun stopped blocking them, and a large number of women, children and the elderly began to pour into the city. Zhong Yao also bid farewell to Cao Ren, and rushed to greet his subordinates, preparing to resettle the refugees.

Only two hours later, all the refugees who had been stranded outside the city for two days finally entered the city. Tens of thousands of young and strong were taken to the school grounds for interrogation, and those who passed were given weapons and participated in the defense of the city. Among the thousands of large tents, Zhong Yao had mobilized hundreds of wealthy families to participate in the porridge relief, and more than a thousand soldiers maintained order. Finally, the city of Chang'an did not fall into chaos.

A few hours after all the people entered the city, news came from scouts that [-] cavalrymen of the Han army had appeared ten miles west of Chang'an.

On the top of the city, Cao Ren watched the official road to the west from a distance. He had already seen the cavalry of the Han army appearing on the gentle slope of a hill. He looked very dignified and felt a pressure that he had never felt before. It's hard to guarantee, and he is more worried about whether the Han army will take the opportunity to open the passages from Hanzhong to the north and pass through the middle of the pass.

........

The [-] Han army has arrived [-] miles west of Chang'an, and set up a camp near Sanqiao Town. In the tent of the Chinese army, several major generals are discussing the next step. In fact, they did not carry the siege It is not realistic to capture Chang'an, which has a tall and strong city wall. Their purpose is to force the defenders of Chencang to divide their troops to rescue, so as to create conditions for the main force of the Han army to capture Chencang.

A wooden frame was placed in the big tent, and a map of Guanzhong was hung on the wooden frame. Fa Zheng pointed to the map with a wooden rod and said to several generals: "Although there is no pigeon letter connection between Chen Cang and Long County, I believe that Chen Cang and Chang'an There must be a connection between them, and Chen Cang must be aware of our army's eastward advance, but so far Chen Cang has still not moved, which means that our attack on Chang'an did not bring enough pressure to Chen Cang's Cao army, or Cao Ren did not feel enough pressure , so Xu Huang did not withdraw his troops for a long time."

At this time, Zhao Yun hesitated and asked, "Mister, do you think Xu Huang can be influenced by Cao Ren's orders?"

"Will!"

Fazheng smiled and said: "Cao Cao's deployment is two battlefields in Longxi and Guanzhong, so there are two main generals. After the defeat in Longxi, Xiahou Dun was transferred to Xuchang, Xu Huang stayed in Guanzhong, but he did not replace Xiahou Dun. Xu Huang must obey Cao Ren's orders. On the other hand, among Chen Cang's 1 troops, only [-] troops belonged directly to Xu Huang, and the remaining [-] troops They were all sent by Cao Ren to assist Xu Huang in defending the city, and Niu Jin, Cao Ren's confidant, was in command, so as long as Cao Ren orders the Chen Cang army to assist Chang'an, it will be useless even if Xu Huang disagrees, Niu Jin will resolutely carry out Cao Ren's order."

"But Cao Ren seems to be able to withstand the pressure now, and he refuses to order Chen Cang to come back for help. What should we do?" Ma Chao also asked worriedly.

"General Ma, don't worry, I have a way to make Cao Ren unable to withstand the pressure."

Fazheng wooden pole pointed to the south, and said calmly: "Tangluo Road, Baoxie Road, and Ziwu Road, as long as we occupy the second of these three Hanzhong Roads, Cao Ren will not be able to withstand the pressure and will definitely order Chen Cang's army to come back."

"But who will bear the responsibility for losing the old warehouse?"

Ma Dai asked puzzledly: "Cao Ren ordered Chen Cang to send troops, will he take responsibility?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Ren patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "There are rules in the officialdom. Cao Ren is the chief general and a veteran in the officialdom. He knows what to do?"

.......

Three days later, Cao Jun's scouts brought back the news that Cao Ren feared the most. The camps at the two valley passes of Tangluo Road and Baoxie Road were breached by more than 1 Han troops, and [-] defenders were wiped out. The Han army occupied, and the gate from Hanzhong to Guanzhong was finally opened.

This is something Cao Cao repeatedly explained to Cao Ren before withdrawing his troops. Several Taniguchi along the Hanzhong Road have geographical advantages. The army opened the gate to pass through Guanzhong. The main force of the Han army can enter Guanzhong from Tangluo Road and Baoxie Road. What's the point of defending Chencang?

Chang'an has only [-] troops, and it is impossible to divide the troops to retake Tangluo Road and Baoxie Road, and it is impossible to transfer the defenders of Tongguan and Pujin Pass back. After much deliberation, they can only transfer troops from Chencang. The transfer of Chen Cang's troops will put great pressure on Chen Cang's defense, but he has no choice but to save the urgent situation first.

Cao Ren immediately ordered Xu Huang to divide [-] troops to retake Tangluo Road and Baoxie Road respectively. He sent three pigeon letters in a row, ordering Xu Huang to send troops immediately on the premise of ensuring that the old warehouse would not be lost.

........

At this time, Xu Huang already knew that Long County and Jieting had fallen, and that the Han army had entered Guanzhong from the gap in Longshan Mountain in the north. Xu Huang was also facing tremendous pressure. The person responsible, but the prime minister will find him Xu Huang's responsibility.

For this reason, Xu Huang sent three teams of scouts to patrol between Chang'an and Long County. The news soon came that [-] Han troops marched from Long County to Chang'an, and Guanzhong began to fall into war.

"Military division, I want to take advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Han army going east, and send an army to take back Long County. Do you think it is feasible?" Xu Huang looked at the north from the top of the city and asked worriedly.

Mao Jie sighed, "If Liu Jing's main force hadn't been oppressing us outside the city, this strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao would have been a good idea, but now as long as we divide our troops a little, Liu Jing won't miss the opportunity, General, I think it's better to wait and see. become wonderful."

"I also know that it is not appropriate to send troops, but now we are really passive. Once Chang'an is in danger, General Cao will definitely order us to rush to the rescue. I think this is the purpose of the Han army's eastward march into Chang'an, so can Chen Cang be kept?"

Mao Jie was speechless, it was a fact, he also thought of it, but how should he deal with it?Either give up the old warehouse, or send a small amount of troops, but what's the point of sending a small amount of troops?

Just as he was talking, a soldier rushed over and reported in a hurry: "General Xu, Chang'an urgent letter!"
