Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 827 Central Plains War (8)

Zhou Ting bought time for Chen Ben, and Chen Ben bought time for Zhuge Dan, and Zhuge Dan and Xu Gai's team finally arrived.

The besieged Wei army relied entirely on the tone led by Cao Ren, and it was difficult to stop the [-] Han army from entering.

"Father, let's go, I'll be the queen!" Cao Tai shouted loudly.

"you go first!"

"Great Wei Jiangshan still needs to rely on his father, and the father must not take any risks! If the father does not leave, the son commits suicide and apologizes!" Cao Tai threatened to die.

"Be careful, stay behind me!" Cao Ren steered his horse out of the siege, and the Han army could hardly stop him.

Cao Ren went out, but Cao Tai couldn't keep up with Cao Ren's footsteps. The Han army surrounded him and hacked him to death. Cao Jun surrendered before he died.Chen Ben tried to chase Cao Ren again, but he disappeared.

When Xu Gai met Zhou Ting, he escaped from the dead and thought he was lucky, and returned to Puyang with three thousand remnants.Chen Ben and Zhuge Dan stayed at Yangli Pavilion.

Puyang had already fallen into the hands of Lu Xun, and Xiahouhui could not resist the attack of Lu Xun and Wenqin.

"See you general!" Xu Gai and Zhou Ting were dejected. They thought they could capture Cao Ren, but they almost wiped out their entire army. Finally, they relied on Lu Xun to turn the tide of the battle.

"Why should the two generals be discouraged? Cao Ren is a famous general of Wei. He has been on the battlefield for decades, and the prime minister also admires him. Besides, you are not at fault. If you hadn't tied Cao Ren's [-] troops here, how could I live? Zhang and Seize Linqiu? You contributed a lot to the battle of Yanzhou." Lu Xun greatly comforted the two of them.

After resting for a day, Lu Xun generously took 1 of the [-] surrendered soldiers, and another [-] horses from the headquarters to Xu Gai, and ordered the two men and Wen Qin to go to Yanjin to report to Xu Huang.

On the southern line, Cao Zhang and Xia Houba gave up Rencheng and retreated to Jiyin, and Wu Gang took advantage of the trend to go south.Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Dian abandoned Shanyang, and found Xiahou Ruxi, who was fighting guerrillas in Dangshan, retreated to Juyang and Lu Yu joined forces.Guanqiu Jian was furious, co-authored Li Dian and ignored Cao's family, he surrendered in shame and anger, and Sha Zan occupied Shanyang.

The Battle of the Central Plains, the Yanzhou battlefield lasted for [-] days, and ended temporarily with the tragic victory of the Han army.

The Han army paid a heavy price for this campaign, with 5 Xuanjia cavalry, [-] light cavalry, [-] infantry, and nearly [-] casualties!Captured the four counties of Dongjun, Dongping, Shanyang, and Rencheng, and received nearly [-] surrendered troops.

Cao Ren suffered even greater losses, with 8 troops in his headquarters, [-] were captured, [-] were killed in battle, and he fled alone; nearly [-] people were killed and injured in Xun Yue, Xiahouru, and Xiahouhui's tribes, and [-] people in Guanqiujian's tribe surrendered, only Cao Zhang and Xiahou Basuo survived.Dai Ling, Xia Houhui, Linghu Yu, and Cao Tai died in battle, and Guan Qiujian surrendered, which can be said to have lost troops and lost generals.After losing the four counties, Yanzhou was left with only Yingchuan, Chenliu, Chenjun and half of Liangjun, with less than [-] defenders, including [-] brought by Wei Zhen from Sizhou.

The defense line that had been painstakingly built for half a year was broken by the Han army's crossing from left to right, and the Wei army had only a little gain: First, the Xuanjia cavalry is no longer invincible, and it has a new way of dealing with the Xuanjia cavalry with heavy armor against heavy armor. The second is that Li Dian's surprise attack on the siege equipment was a great success, which showed that the initiative to attack and destroy the siege equipment has made a lot of difference;

This gain was not enough to soothe Cao Ren's pain.The battle was defeated, and his son and nephew died. Cao Ren, who fled to Dingtao, received battle reports from all over the place, mourned unceasingly, vomited blood, and became seriously ill. During his illness, Cao Ren ordered Xia Houba and Cao Zhang to withdraw from Juye and temporarily lead the army in Dingtao.

On the battlefield of Yuzhou, Deng Ai led the army to attack Runan, and Sima Fu, the prefect of Runan, retreated steadily.Deng Ai quickly sniffed out the strangeness. How could Sima Fu be so vulnerable? He must lure himself to go deeper. After discussing with Liao Huayi, the two came up with a bold idea: fight back to their hometown!

Where is your hometown?Deng Ai, from Xinye, Liao Hua, from Xiangyang, their hometown is Jingbei.So the two suddenly turned to the southwest and went straight to Yiyang. The routine set by Wei Jun was completely disrupted: Sima Fu, Guo Huai, and Zhang Hu prepared pockets to let Deng Ai get in, and they were just a little bit ready to tie their mouths. Ai swam away like a fish, and all the deployments fell through; Xia Houshang and Sima Wang formed horns in Wancheng to defend Zhou Xin, who was in Xinye.

Deng Ai took the independent battalion as the first mover, marched extremely fast, captured Yiyang almost without hindrance, and continued to return to the northwest to approach Wancheng via Biyang.

Because Jiang Wei and Cheng Wu marched into Hanzhong, Xia Houshang divided his troops into five thousand orders. The eldest son Xia Houxuan led the prefect of Shangyong. Two armies of 6 horses came to attack Xia Houshang's two horns. He was threatened because his son was in Shangyong and Shangyong was close to Guanzhong. , Shangyong's mountainous siege weapons could not be used. Between Xu Du and Shangyong, Xia Houshang chose Shangyong, and fled westward without fighting.

There are actually three counties in the Shangyong area: Xincheng, Shangyong, and Weixing.After Meng Da surrendered, Cao Cao handed over the three counties to Meng Da, so they can be collectively called Shangyong.Because the new city was small and close to Xiangyang, Xia Houshang gave up the new city and stuck to Shangyong and Weixing.

Jingxiang has nine counties, and Zhou Xin has seven.Because Deng Ai led the army to arrive, and Deng Ai was the new governor of the Southern Army, Duanmuling's mission in Jingzhou came to an end, so he bid farewell to Zhou Xin and hurried back to Yu County.Deng Ai reorganized the Southern Army in Wancheng, and Zhou Xin and Li Hao returned to Xiangyang to preside over government affairs.

Cao Pi's order to Sima Yi to abandon Qiaojun has already arrived, but Sima Yi has not moved.Hearing that Deng Ai had left the battlefield, Sima Yi couldn't help regretting that he was a little too greedy. He might have encircled Deng Ai earlier, but if he didn't let Deng Ai go deep, the Han army could easily escape, and Yu Jin would rescue him in time. It's hard to have both.Hearing that Cao Ren was defeated, Sima Yi secretly lamented that it was a fluke. If the main attack of the Han army was Yuzhou, the consequences would only be worse than Cao Ren.

Sima Zhao didn't think so. He complained to Master Sima in private that the court was unfair and favored one more than another; Cao Ren was incompetent and lost troops and generals.Sima Shi warned his younger brother not to complain and cause trouble, Sima Zhao agreed, but he didn't think so.

The encirclement and suppression of Deng Ai failed, Xiahou went west, Yingchuan and Runan were threatened, Sima Yi no longer dared to stay in Qiaojun, ordered Guo Huai and Sima Fu to guard Runan, Chen Tai and He Kui guarded Chenjun , I led the army back to Yingchuan County and stationed in Xudu.

On April 25, the Battle of Yuzhou in the Central Plains ended with Deng Ai moving to Jingbei.Although Sima Yi was frequently mobilized, he only lost one Qiao County. In fact, it was only the four counties of Xiang, Yu, Ku and Chengfu. The people and horses were almost intact, and all the rich households under his rule were moved away. Compared with Cao Ren, it can be called The above is lossless.

The Central Plains War was planned for half a year, and the power of the poor states came to an end.The goal of beheading Cao Ren was not achieved, and half of the goal of forcing Cao Pi to retreat westward was achieved. The battle reports from all over the place were sent to Jinan and Qixian respectively like snowflakes.
