Chapter 216: Courtesy first, then attack

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 This——

When Sima Yi heard this, he was immediately shocked.

Naturally, he could be sure that if Wei captured a Han general and refused to surrender to Cao Wei, he would surely die and there would be no possibility of his release.

He really didn't expect it.

This Liu Adou can actually do this.

Capture the enemy general and let him go.

His move is really good.

While Sima Yi was stunned, Xu Shu said with a smile: "With Zhongda's unicorn talent, why not take this opportunity to surrender to my great Han Dynasty? Our Lord will definitely let Zhongda show his talents. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"

???

Speechless——

He wanted to tease Xu Shu with his morning and evening banter, but he didn't expect Xu Shu to come here to persuade him to surrender. When Sima Yi heard this, he burst out laughing: "Yuan Zhi is talking nonsense!"

"Don't tell me that the Wei army has strong soldiers and horses, and the national power is strong; just say that the late emperor treated Yi well and was kind to Yi." Sima Yi said with a smile: "How can Yi abandon the light and turn to darkness?"

"Zhongda's words are wrong." Xu Shu said with a smile: "If the Duke surrenders to the Han Dynasty, he will not only abandon the light and turn to the dark, but also abandon the dark to the light."

"Let's not talk about Cao Rui's suspicion. Let's just say that the Cao family is originally the Han Dynasty Zuo who conspired to usurp us." Xu Shu said with a smile: "Zhongda, your Sima family was originally a Han official. After receiving the salary from the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty is now prosperous, and it is time for Zhongda to return..."

The two of them just say one thing to you and the other to me.

However, they all understand that they cannot make each other surrender with just a few words. Sima Yi can't do it, and Xu Shu certainly can't either.

It’s just——

But they want to make the other party feel unstable before the war begins.

But the result was that no one was affected.

After a conversation with no results, Sima Yi immediately ordered an attack on Leishou Mountain, with the intention of fighting to the death.

In an instant, on Leishou Mountain, both sides began to shoot at each other with three-bow crossbows.

However, after two days of fierce fighting, Sima Yi failed to break through Xu Shu's defense line. However, the losses of Sima Yi's 5,000 men were not very large.

Because the Wei army mainly relied on long-range attacks and did not use soldiers to charge hard, there were only three to five hundred casualties.

Just when Xu Shu and Sima Yi were fighting in Lei Shou Mountain, fierce fighting also started in Yuan County and Fenglingdu.

Compared with Lei Shou Mountain, the battle between Yuan County and Fenglingdu was relatively fierce.

The first is Fenglingdu, where Xu Shu deployed 10,000 people and was guarded by Chen Xin. As for Yuan County, 10,000 people were stationed under the command of Zhao.

As soon as Wen Qin arrived at Fenglingdu, he launched a fierce attack on Fenglingdu, but Chen Xin took the lead and held on to the pass, preventing Wenqin from taking a step forward.

As for Yuan County.

After all, Zhao Tong has been in battle for a long time, and the strength of both sides is 10,000 to 10,000. He also has a strong city. Although Sima Zhao tried his best, it was still difficult to shake Yuan County.

Just when the three battlefields in Hedong were inextricably killing each other.

Outside Jinyang City, the Han and Wei armies also set up their formations.

After these days of hard work, Liu Chan originally only had 30,000 people, and then he divided out 10,000 people to guard Jieshan, Leping, and Meng County.

However, on October 3rd, Mengxian County was captured first, and Tian Mu had to lead more than 2,000 cavalry back to Jinyang. The 3,000 Han troops in Leping were also attacked two days ago by the Wei army. Break through.

On the other hand, the three thousand Han troops at Jieshan were not attacked and were safe and sound.

Meng County and Leping were captured, and a large number of Wei troops followed and headed towards Jinyang.

The morning of October 4th.

Outside Jinyang City.

Cao Rui joined the 10,000 additional reinforcements sent by Yanmen County.

Forty thousand Wei troops lined up outside Jinyang City.

At the top of Jinyang City, Liu Chan looked at the dark Wei army and asked Wei Yan: "Ai Qing, do you think our army should stick to Jinyang or go out of the city to fight with the Wei army?"

Because Liu Chan already knew that Cao Rui also came to Jinyang.

The emperors of Han and Wei gathered in Jinyang.

Calculating the relationship, Liu Chan is now Cao Rui's brother-in-law.

My brother-in-law is here, should I treat him to a drink?

"Your Majesty!" Wei Yan said: "The Wei army has just arrived. At this time, the military front is in full swing. Our army cannot compete with it. We can wait until the reinforcements arrive and we will have a showdown with them."

"When will reinforcements arrive?"

After waiting for so many days, Liu Chan was also a little anxious. Logically speaking, Xu Shu should have known that he had arrived in Jinzhong, and Xu Shu should have sent people to break into Hedong and rush to help Jinzhong.

But——

While waiting, no Han reinforcements arrived.

"Back to Your Majesty!" Wei Yan said calmly: "I received news a few days ago that Xu Yushi had captured Hedong. Because he learned that Sima Yi had withdrawn troops from Wuguan to come to aid, Xu Yushi planned to contain Sima Yi in Hedong."

"Sima Yi?" Liu Chan was stunned for a moment and asked: "Xu Shu was fighting with Sima Yi in Hedong, but he doesn't care about Jinzhong?"

Liu Chan was a little depressed.

He has also heard a lot of news in the past few days. In fact, he also knew that Xu Shu had arrived in Hedong. But why did he stay in Hedong and didn't rush to help Jinzhong?

The emperor is in Jinyang, and Cao Wei's main force will inevitably come to Jinyang soon. Xu Shu can capture Hedong, and only needs to deploy troops and horses at dangerous passes. The main force should be transferred to Jinyang.

Because Jinyang will soon become the main battlefield.

But——

However, Xu Shu played cat and mouse with Sima Yi in Hedong and left him, the emperor, to fend for himself. This really left Liu Chan speechless.

However, Wei Yan continued: "Just now, Xu Yushi sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that General Zhao is leading 50,000 elite troops to Jinyang." After speaking, Wei Yan paused and then said: "Calculate the time, General Zhao should be able to arrive in Jinyang in two days at most."

"Okay!" Liu Chan was overjoyed upon hearing this.

It seems that Xu Shu did not intend to let him, the emperor, fend for himself, but actually asked Zhao Yun to lead an army of 50,000 to save Jinyang.

With Zhao Yun's 50,000 men, plus Jinyang's more than 20,000 cavalry.

Haha——

Cao Rui, we can have some fun now.

While Liu Chan and Wei Yan were talking, a Wei Jun cavalryman outside the city suddenly rushed to the city and shouted: "I am the envoy of the Wei Dynasty, and I am specially ordered by His Majesty the Emperor of Wei to deliver a letter to His Majesty the Emperor of Han."

"Oh???"

Liu Chan was shocked when he heard this. He originally thought that Cao Rui led tens of thousands of people to the outside of Jinyang City, and he would soon launch an attack on Jinyang.

But I didn’t expect that this kid actually knew how to be polite before fighting.

Send an envoy to deliver the letter first?

"Bring it up!" Liu Chan said casually.

"No!"

A primary school student immediately agreed, then turned around and ran towards the city.

SNSD——

The small school leader led the Wei soldiers back to the city.

"Your Majesty!"

Wei Bing saluted Liu Chan.

Liu Chan glanced at him and asked, "Where is the letter?"

"Here is the letter, your Majesty, please read it!" The Wei Bing handed a letter into Liu Chan's hand without any fear. Even though the two armies were fighting now, Liu Chan secretly admired this Wei Bing.

But now he has no interest in Wei Bing. He wants to see what his uncle wrote to him.

Liu Chan immediately opened the letter and read it carefully.
