Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 745 tit for tat
Being trained by Zhou Cang Xuezang for five years, Yu Jin was a little dissatisfied at the beginning, but he did not expect to take the first step to become the commander of the Eastern Army, one of the commanders of the five armies. This is something he dared not even think about in Cao Ying. He thought he was different from Zhang Liao Zhang Liao, who was born as a general, is naturally lower than others. His own abilities should have been reused long ago, but he has always been suppressed by the Cao family. Cao Cao's employment was improper, and he wanted to occupy a high position despite his lack of ability. How could he be undefeated?

Of course, Yu Jin also looked down on Pei Yuanshao, but he also found that although Pei Yuanshao was not good at attacking the city, he still had the ability to govern the army and sit on the side. Moreover, Pei Yuanshao had followed Zhou Cang for nearly 50 years and was the earliest subordinate of Zhou Cang. Makes sense.And the other commanders of the three armies: Lu Xun, Zhang Jai, Xu Huang, which one is not outstanding in battle, there is really a gap between him and others, not to mention that there is Xu Shu on top.Even Qu'a's power is not under his own, and Gan Ning is in the navy. If he is on land, the commander of the five armies may have to change.

Therefore, Yu Jin is both grateful and stressed.Yu Jin was very surprised by the new combat mode. The Privy Council and the Chief of Staff formulated strategies and goals, and the specific tactics were handed over to the governors to implement, and the power was fully delegated, which was very suitable for him.Therefore, after the military order was issued, Yu Jin, the governor of the Eastern Army, was the first to move. In May [-], he led an army of [-] troops to station at the boundary of Mount Tai and look at Lu County in the distance.Yu Jin's Eastern Army is considered the most unusual among the various armies. The post commander and corporal commander are extremely capable in combat at the first level. Since Jin is in the middle of commanding and dispatching, the commanders of each battalion are the weakest. Gui led the first battalion, and Zhuge Xu, Zhuge Dan's younger brother, led the second battalion. The two young generals were the youngest of the main generals of each battalion.

Eleven counties in Yanzhou: Taishan, Jibei, Dongping, Lujun, Rencheng, Dongjun, Jiyin, Shanyang, Pei, Chenliu, Yingchuan.It is connected to Zhoucang on three sides, and Dongjun in the north is separated from Jizhou by the Yellow River. The guard will be Linghuyu, Wang Ling's nephew; Li Tong's sons, Li Ji and Li Xu, were stationed here.Mount Tai originally belonged to Yanzhou, but because Zang Ba gave up Mount Tai to Zhou Cang, Yanzhou lost this favorable strategic location.

Yu Jin didn't die, he joined Zhou Cang and became the governor of the Eastern Army. Cao Ren was furious. There were omissions, so everyone was on guard, and Xiao general Niu Jin was sent to Lujun to garrison, and Bao Xun, the son of Bao Xin, was sent to Rencheng.

Cao Zhang, the king of Rencheng, and Cao Zhi, the king of Chenliu, heard that the Han army was moving, and immediately asked Cao Pi to serve for the country. Cao Pi replied that they don't need to worry too much and stay in the fief.

Having said that, Cao Pi was extremely shocked. He had just received the news of Cao Zhen's expedition, and Zhou Cang immediately made a movement.According to Liu Ye's analysis, no one knew the exact date of Cao Zhen's dispatch of troops in advance, and when he got the news, it was too late to spread to Jinan, so it was either a coincidence, or Zhou Cang made an accurate prediction.No matter what kind of possibility it is, it shows that Zhou Cang has been prepared for a long time, and it also shows that Yu Jin is most likely just a feint.

Sima Yi, Hua Xin, Man Chong and others strongly agree with Liu Ye's analysis. Man Chong believes that Zhou Cang is very likely to follow the example of Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao's three-way team, the high-ranking officials on the left side of the horse, were defeated by Zhong Yao. Yuan Tan on the road was dragged in Qingzhou by Zhou Cang and Zang Ba, leaving only Yuan Shao's troops in the middle, which was an important reason for Guandu's defeat.However, if Zhou Cang mobilized the three forces at this time, there would be no constraints.

Hua Xin further believes that unlike Yuan Shao, Zhou Cang's Qingzhou soldiers and horses will be the main force in this battle, not Jizhou's Xu Huang.However, Hua Xin also pointed out that Liu Xie's children were still in Hanoi, so the possibility of Zhou Cang attacking Hanoi could not be ruled out, and these people should be moved away.

Cao Pi has not yet figured out how to deal with it. Xia Houshang, governor of Jizhou, and Wenpin, prefect of Jiangxia, wrote a letter together. The Ganning Department stationed in Xiakou frequently dispatched to provoke the navy in Jiangbei. It seems that there will be actions. Cao Pi please be careful.In addition, Xia Houshang submitted a petition, requesting Cao Pi to reactivate Cao Hong and allow him to perform crimes and meritorious deeds.

Gan Ning's actions further verified the conjectures of several people. Both Yu Jin and Gan Ning were suspects, and the real powerful enemies would come from Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou. That is to say, Hanoi, Dongjun, and Jibei three counties would be attacked.However, neither Cao Ren nor Xia Houshang could abandon Yu Jin and Gan Ning, and these two titans could turn their fiction into reality at any time.

Hua Xin wanted to offer a plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, so he sent Zhang Liao and Li Diandong from Yuzhou to attack Xuzhou, forcing Zhou Cang to return to aid.He self-denied it before he raised it. If Zhou Cang abandoned Xuzhou and went on the offensive blindly, so what if he occupied Xuzhou? Xuzhou was more important to Zhou Cang than Xuzhou.

It is impossible to transfer Xiahoushang, let alone recall Cao Zhen. Cao Pi thought about following Xiahoushang's suggestion, and then worshiped Cao Hong as the Hussar General and went to Rencheng. Stationed in Jinbei, he joined the army with Zhong Yu and went to Hanoi to assist Xia Houba, and transferred Li Dian from Huainan to Xudu to serve as a general response.

Cao Pi also ordered Sima Lang, Inspector of Yanzhou, Lu Qian, Inspector of Yuzhou, and Wu Zhi, Lieutenant of Sili, to step up internal defenses to prevent chaos.

When Cao Pi needed manpower the most, his confidant, Taichang Huanjie, who was regarded as a minister of fate, died of illness. After Jia Xu, Cao Pi lost another resourceful man. Cao Pi was very sad and gave Huanjie the posthumous title Zhenhou .At the end of Huan Jie's deathbed, he gave a letter to Cao Pi, because Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Luoyang, so the Taizu established the capital of Xu. It has been 30 years since Luoyang has been restored to its old appearance. It is close to Chang'an and is the best capital city. It is suggested that Cao Pi move the capital back to Luoyang.

Cao Pi wept and said: "Bo Xu is seriously ill and does not forget state affairs, I will accept his words." So he moved the capital to Luoyang.

Luoyang already had an imperial palace and a mansion, and Cao Pi was often in Luoyang, so there was no need for any major moves to move the capital. In July, Cao Pi took control of Luoyang.If this is nothing in normal times, it is Huan Jie's suggestion and Cao Pi's unintentional move that have added twists and turns to Zhou Cang's use of troops.

At this time, Qu'a led Sun Li and Deng Ai to set off from Changzhi with [-] troops and was heading towards Hedong; Wan set off from Yecheng and attacked Hanoi.

Sizhou seems to be full of wars in a day, but the direction of Jinan, which Cao Ren has been marking, is quiet.
