Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 773
"Report to the general, Cao Pi, the Lord of Wei, took Sima Yi as his general, and is now leading the army to attack Xiangxian County. General Zhuge Xu asked the general for rescue." Tanma came to report.

Guo Huai's defenses in Shouchun were extremely strict, and Yu Jin and Gan Ning tried several attacks to no avail, so they had to retreat back to Longkang.

"Hiss~", Yu Jin took a deep breath. As an old man, he was very familiar with Sima Yi. He was not as vicious as Jia Xu, but he was a sophisticated opponent who should not be underestimated.

Seeing that his father was a little absent-minded, Yu Gui asked, "Why is father hesitating?"

"Sima Yi is sophisticated in using troops, and has many schemes. If he is not careful, he will fall into his tricks. I suspect that his attack on Xiangxian County is fake, and he is probably besieging the city to fight for aid."

"Zhuge Xu is the younger brother of General Zhuge Dan, he must be saved."

"You send an order to Chen Qian in Pengcheng to lead the army to Xiao County as a response." Yu Jin thought for a while, and left himself a way out in advance. "Raise troops back to Xiang County, and send scouts to strictly investigate if there is an ambush."

Chen Qian is the son of Chen Jiao, and one of the few descendants of Xuzhou old officials who joined the army.Born in an independent battalion, he transferred to the army as a post chief after his service period expired, and gradually became the chief general of the first battalion.Chen Dao's son, Chen Teng, and Cui Jun's son, Cui Yan, who changed careers with him, did not enlist in the army, but went to the martial arts academy to assist Chen Dao in cultivating talents.

The road was unimpeded, and soldiers and horses passed through Zhuyi.Yu Jin reined in the horse's reins: "Stop advancing! Return to the army!"

"Father, why is this?"

"Hehe, it's not bad as I expected. The Wei army has an ambush ahead. When I see my retreat, I suspect that I will see through it. I will lead the soldiers to chase after me. When I set up an ambush, I will destroy the bandit soldiers first!"

On the way, Yu Jin was thinking about how to deal with Sima Yi, and finally came up with a plan. First, he pretended to rescue, and then returned to the army suddenly, luring Cao Jun to chase him and giving Cao Jun a counter-ambush.It was a very imaginative strategy, but it was a pity that it met Niu Jin who came to capture Zhuyi. The two armies started a fierce battle before they had time to set up their positions. In less than half an hour, Niu Jin was gradually defeated. Sima Yi, Sima Shi, and Sima Zhao were divided into three groups. When the road came, the Han army could not resist.

Yu Jin shouted: "There is no way to retreat, it is better to rush through the enemy and go to Xiang County!"

Sima Yi also did not expect that Yu Jin would not retreat but advance, and was rushed by Yu Jin to double-team and ran to Xiangxian County, but half of Yu Jin's 2 horses were lost. Niu Jin was greedy to regain the lost land and wanted to take Zhuyi. One city, one place! Hold Yuban, and Yuzhou can be settled!"

When Niu Jin was reprimanded, instead of being angry, he said excitedly: "Can Zhong Da be a general? The Son of Heaven has won him!" He took the initiative to ask Ying to be a pioneer, and followed closely behind Jin.

When Chen Tai was in Xiangxian County, he heard that Yu Jin had arrived, and discussed with Zhong Yu that Zhong Yu should continue to besiege the city. He led 5000 people to block it, so that Yu Jin could not join Zhuge Xu.Yu Jin led the army to charge, Chen Tai waited in strict battle, persisted for about a quarter of an hour, and finally hoped for Niu Jin's pursuers, so Yu Jin had to divide his troops and order Yu Gui to stop Niu Jin, and the Han army was caught in a double-team.

Zhuge Xu in the city saw that Jin was in a difficult situation, so he hurriedly led troops to help, killed Chen Tai and joined Yu Jin, but Zhong Yu joined forces with Chen Tai again, blocking Yu Jin desperately.After another hard fight, Yu Jin was still unable to break through the defense line of Chen Tai and Zhong Yu, and at this time Niu Jin also waited for Sima Yi and his son.

"Wen Ze, when will you wait before dismounting and surrendering?" Sima Yi shouted loudly.

Surrounded by Wei troops, Yu Jin sighed, "Could this be the place where I died?" Yu Jin did not dare to surrender. He knew the character of Sima Yi and Cao Pi well. , life is worse than death.

"Father, after I'm here, you and General Zhuge quickly break through." Yu Gui shouted.

Yu Jin shook his head: "National Public Commissioner, my Yuzhou affairs, can't succeed today, I can only fight to the death, in the name of my father and son!"

Just as the three of them were preparing to fight to the death, Chen Tai's army was in chaos, and it seemed that reinforcements had arrived.Yu Jin rejoiced and said: "This must be Chen Qian coming to meet him, you and I will kill them quickly."

"Don't worry, Governor Wen Ze, Han Long is here!" It turned out that Han Long was ordered by Zhou Cang to go south to help in the battle, passing through Xiao County, and heard from Chen Qian that there was a dangerous leader in Xiang County to rescue him, but he didn't want to save Yu Jin.

Five thousand light cavalry easily killed Chen Tai's soldiers and horses. Sima Yi panicked and ordered the formation, with heavy armor and shields in front, spearmen in the back, and archers on the wings.

Han Long caught Yu Jin: "The future is late, so don't blame the governor."

"If it wasn't for the general, we would almost lose our lives." Yu Jin survived the catastrophe with lingering fears in his heart.

"General Han, can the Wei army be defeated?" With five thousand light cavalry, Zhuge Xu gained confidence and wanted to counterattack.

Han Long smiled wryly: "I have more heart than I have. I rushed all the way after I got the news, but I was exhausted. It is really difficult to fight back the Wei army with my spare strength." Thousands of miles from Mengzhou to Xuzhou, no rest and reorganization , All the way from Xiao County to Xiang County, the knights and horses were exhausted. This is because Chen Tai was not prepared, otherwise Han Long would suffer huge losses.

Yu Jin looked back at Wei Jun, sighed and said, "Wei Jun has also set up an formation, it is really difficult to attack, I will retreat to Xiao County for a while to rest."

Neither the Han nor the Wei armies dared to attack, and the Wei army could only watch Yu Jin retreat, and Zhong Yu took the opportunity to regain Xiangxian County.Sima Zhao was very angry, the cooked duck just flew away like this?

Master Sima was very satisfied: "It's the best."

Because Yu Jin retreated, Sima Yi did not dare to go south easily to Shouchun, and stayed in Xiangxian County by himself, ordering Niu Jin and his two sons to recover the remaining seven counties. Among the nine counties captured by Yu Jin, only Xiao County remained, and Sima Yi took the rest.Sima Yi went up to the table to win: he was defeated by Jin, beheaded nearly [-] enemy troops, and recovered eight counties.Chen Tai's advantage in resisting the enemy was the first, Niu Jin's courageous killing of the enemy was the second, and Zhong Yu took the lead in recovering Xiangxian County as the third.All the generals were convinced, and Sima Yi's prestige in the army skyrocketed.Niu Jin compares in private, thinking that Sima Yi is no less than Cao Ren in military, but in his heart Cao Ren is the number one!

Yu Jin fled back to Xiao County with only more than [-] people, including Han Long's [-] cavalry, and he was very upset.Sending troops to Yanzhou has no success, sending troops to Yuzhou loses troops and loses generals, what is the face?Except for the plague that Xu Huang suffered in Shouchun, the Han army had never suffered such a disastrous defeat.As the initiator of the Battle of Yuzhou, Yu Jin was ashamed and angry, and asked himself to be removed from the post of governor and allowed him to take the blame and make meritorious service.

During the Battle of Xiang County, Sima Yi became famous, no matter how low-key he wanted to keep, he couldn't stop people with good deeds from advocating for him.Some people suggested that with this great victory, they could go south to Huainan to collect compound fertilizers, and some even suggested that they send troops eastward to capture Xuzhou.Frightened, Sima Yi went to the table again, saying that this was a small victory, and he should not get carried away with complacency, and asked to suspend the use of troops.

Cao Pi heard the news in Xiangyang, Longyan Dayue, and wrote back to Sima Yi, saying that the war in Yuzhou is at his discretion, don't care about other people's words, don't let me down.Good things happen again and again, Jiangxia Taishou Wenpin's health began to improve, and he is expected to recover. Cao Pi no longer has to worry about the future. With Xia Houshang as the general, Meng Da Hu Zun and Hu Fen as the lieutenants, Meng Da as the vanguard, Sima Wang went south to Jiangling to join the army and prepare to cross the south of the Yangtze River. .
