The Invincible Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

However, Xi Zhicai said excitedly: "It's definitely Wen He, otherwise Liu Rui would definitely not be able to withdraw his troops so quickly!" Xiaoshuowa.com

"Yeah, I'm afraid only Wen He has this ability!" Cao Cao couldn't help sighing.

When I think about it, it seems that only Jia Xu has caused Liu Rui this kind of trouble.For example, Pang Tong, Zhou Yu and others were very sure at the beginning, but in the end, they were all cracked by Liu Rui one by one.Just like today's Pang Tong and Sima Yi, after taking advantage of Liu Rui's [-] troops, they still wanted to repeat their old tricks, but Liu Rui took the opportunity to tear through the defense of the outer wall, which directly led to the loss of the first line of defense.

But now, Jia Xu has only just launched his troops not long ago, and it is far from the time Jia Xu originally expected, and it has already caused such an effect, which directly forced Liu Rui to retreat.

"Jia Wenhe's plan is really unstoppable! As strong as Liu Rui, when facing Wenhe, he can only see tricks and tricks!" Cao Cao's sigh, immediately aroused Liu Bei and Sun Ce Lu Bu of curiosity.

They all knew that Cao Cao had Jia Xu lead [-] horses to attack Liu Rui's rear.But the specific plot is not known at all.

Seeing everyone's doubts, Cao Cao told Jia Xu's plan, but after Cao Cao finished speaking, everyone fell into silence.

"Meng De! Wen He's strategy is too vicious!" Liu Bei couldn't help but said in a low voice, "If all the hundreds of thousands of people were driven out, now It’s almost winter, if this is known to the world, I’m afraid we will…”

"Xuande, how can you be such a woman?" Lu Bu said in dissatisfaction, then he smiled and looked at Cao Cao and said, "If Wen He's strategy hadn't taken effect today, I'm afraid we would still be under Liu Rui's army now. I can't lift my head up, and I can't tell you how many soldiers will be killed or wounded!"

Sun Ce also nodded and said: "Those people were indifferent to our countermeasures before, and they have already devoted themselves to Liu Rui. Wen He's actions are understandable!"

Hearing that both Sun Ce and Lu Bu were supporting, Cao Cao also sighed: "I also felt that this plan was hurtful at first, but if I can take this opportunity to make Liu Rui's Nanyang collapse, it will be worth it!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao said with a smile: "If you exchange a Nanyang for the peace of the whole world, no matter who it is, I am afraid that I will be willing!"

Both Sun Ce and Lu Bu nodded, and Liu Bei, after a long sigh, could only nod helplessly.

However, the four of them are all clear in their hearts. Even if Jia Xu's plan can cause chaos in Nanyang and Liu Rui's territory, even if Liu Rui completely falls, it is absolutely impossible in this world. Taiping, these four princes, when they had Liu Rui as an enemy, could still reluctantly unite. If Liu Rui were to be defeated, I am afraid that these four princes would soon turn against each other.

It's just that these people are very clear in their hearts. Now is obviously not the time for the opposite purpose. Even if they are full of expectations, they send out horses to find Jia Xu and want to get further information.

At the same time, Cao Cao and Liu Bei also paid close attention to the movements of Liu Rui's army, and wanted to pounce on Liu Rui's fatal blow when Liu Rui's army was vulnerable.

It's just that although Liu Rui retreated in a hurry before, the entire army was in an orderly manner, and even when they were camping at night, there was no slack.

At the same time, Liu Rui was also constantly discussing the matter with Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and others on the road, trying to find out the other party's true intentions from the few pieces of information. , , .

649: Refugee tide

The letter that Liu Rui had received outside the feudal lord's camp was an urgent report from the troops left behind in Nanyang.

Liu Rui had led a large army in Nanyang, and was invited to fight by Pang Tong, but Nanyang and the cities in various places also left a lot of defenders.

It's just that these cities were attacked when Liu Rui and Pang Tong fought!And this kind of attack made all the defenders of Liu Rui's cities helpless.

In the west of Nanyang, there is a main city called Zhenping City. This city guards the west side of Nanyang. Its geographical location is very important. The defender of this city is also a general who followed Liu Rui a long time ago. Cheng Yin, although this person's military strength is average, he is good at defending the city, so after Liu Rui set off this time, he sent Cheng Yin to Zhenping to guard.

But after Liu Rui's army set off, countless refugees appeared outside Zhenping City the next day.

Liu Rui loves the people like sons, so the generals under his command naturally follow suit. In addition to Liu Rui's military regulations, there are many guidelines and military training for treating refugees. However, at that time Liu Rui's army was in In the battle ahead, Cheng Yin did not let these people enter the city for the sake of safety, but ordered people to set up tents outside the city, and opened up the food and grass in Zhenping City to provide meals for the people who had fled here outside the city.

This approach was originally the safest.However, Cheng Yin did not expect that in the following period, Cao Jun would continue to send small groups of soldiers and horses to surround and kill these people.

It's just that Cheng Yin arranged the food and accommodation for the refugees in front of him, and the Prefect of Zhenping found him later.

"General Cheng, those Cao troops have come here again, and if this continues, I'm afraid it won't be the way to go!" When the prefect of Zhenping saw Cheng Yin, he sighed again and again.

"Lord Prefect, this matter is very important. If you let these people into the city rashly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to manage at that time!" Cheng Yin said worriedly, he didn't have many defenders in Zhenping, and now these There are tens of thousands of people, and if something goes wrong, I am afraid that Cheng Yin will not be able to do anything at all.

"Mr. Cheng, it's already late autumn, there's nothing to do this night or two, but if it's been a long time, I'm afraid these people won't be able to withstand the cold!" Prefect Zhenping showed hesitation, and what he said made Cheng Yin endure. Incessant silence.

"I have already sent a letter to Nanyang and the lord. Before we receive a reply, let's open the city gate rashly. I'm afraid it's not right!" Cheng Yin asked, paused, and gritted his teeth again: "So, I'm here. Take out a thousand soldiers and come to the outside of the city to seize the time to build a shelter for these people, what do you think?"

But the Prefect of Zhenping shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If we let it go, I'm afraid those Cao Jun will come to slaughter the people again. As a parent and official, how can I watch the people suffer!" After a pause, the Prefect of Zhenping was low. Said: "General Cheng, just open the city gate, I will personally accompany the people to eat and live together, and I will surely appease them!"

Hearing what the Prefect of Zhenping said, Cheng Yin only nodded and agreed to open the city gate.

But what Cheng Yin didn't expect was that in the night of that day, the gate of Zhenping City was forcibly captured by a group of people, and Cao Jun's troops were already ready and took the opportunity to invade Zhenping City.

In the chaos of the army, Cheng Yin could only resist desperately, trying to regain the city gate. However, the number of Cao's troops was large. If Cheng Yin refused to defend the city, there was still some hope, but now that the city gate was broken, Cheng Yin also Nothing can be done.

Seeing that Zhenping City could not be defended after all, Cheng Yin could only reluctantly lead his troops to retreat.Unexpectedly, Cheng Yin had just evacuated Zhenping City on the front foot, and Cao Jun on the back foot drove all the people in the city out of the city overnight, and let the army drive all the people and flee in the direction of Nanyang.Qiankun Tingshu Network www.qktsw.com

At the same time, among these refugees, various rumors gradually began to spread.

"Uncle Liu is the master of the world, and he holds a million heroes in his hand. As long as we go to Nanyang, we won't have to run!" An older man shouted, and immediately attracted the approval of countless people. .

Someone also shouted: "Don't be afraid, everyone, Uncle Liu loves the people like a son, and he will never leave us alone. There is still food and grass for Uncle Liu's millions of troops in Nanyang City. As long as you give us a little bit, it will be enough for us to survive!"

Countless rumors spread wildly among these refugees.

These people are honest peasants in various villages and towns, and have never thought of leaving their homeland.However, under the forced expulsion of Cao Jun, they had to abandon their homes and fields and were forced to go into exile.

If anyone wanted to resist, they would be slaughtered wildly by Cao soldiers and horses. How could these unarmed civilians be the opponents of the well-trained soldiers in Jia Xu's hands.

And Cheng Yin, after evacuating Zhenping City, also realized the problem!There are tens of thousands of people in the entire Zhenping City. Adding in the previous ones, they are now dragging a long queue and all rushing to Nanyang.If he arrives in Nanyang, I am afraid that the Nanyang defender will face the same experience as Cheng Yin.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yin found out the cavalrymen in the army who were best at horseback riding, and even gave up his mounts and let these cavalry go to Nanyang and Liu Rui's army to report the news.

At this moment, the new piece of information in Liu Rui's hands is all the details of Pingcheng in Guanyu Town written by Cheng Yin himself.

"My lord, according to what the pacifying general said, this time Cao Jun's strategy is extremely insidious!" Guo Jia squeezed the information in his hand, his fingers trembling uncontrollably.

This was inspired by Cao Jun's actions, not only Guo Jia, but all the generals and advisors in Liu Rui's tent now felt the same way.

"My lord, the last commander please order to fight, let the last commander lead all the way, and these evil traitors must be brought to justice!" Zhao Yun stood up and bowed to Liu Rui with a heavy face.

Liu Rui shook his head and said, "Our main problem now is not fighting, but the countless refugees who rushed to Nanyang."

"My lord, I'm afraid this time is not just for Zhenping. According to the news from Nanyang, similar things have happened in several cities in the east and south!" Zhuge Liang cupped his hands, paused, and then whispered again. Said: "The number of refugees in Zhenping City alone is in the tens of thousands. If you make a rough calculation, I am afraid that the number of refugees who have been driven to Nanyang this time is at least [-]!"
