Chapter 3262 If there are difficulties, just unite everyone
Sima Yi in the Pubanjin area in Hedong had limited independent military power. His limit lay in the soldiers and horses under his command, and he could call in a certain amount of reinforcements when necessary.
Sima Yi felt that there was no need to call for reinforcements now because his strategic purpose was simple.
He will try his best to harass Cao's army's front and contain the strength of fellow student Cao Cao.
It's not a head-on battle.
Regardless of whether there are risks or problems in this matter, Sima Yi knows one thing. In this war between Fei and Cao, only Fei Qian can win.
If Cao Cao wins in the end, Fei Qian will not be the only one who will be unlucky.
At present, Cao Cao's main target is concentrated in the north, so Sima Yi will have the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the flank.
He also knew that this was very risky. He had to figure out where the main force of Cao's army was, so that he wouldn't want to take advantage and end up running into a steel plate.
Therefore, when Sima Yi dispatched Hao Zhao, he did not send many troops. On the one hand, more people were easier to expose, and on the other hand, Sima Yi did not dare to invest too many troops before the information was confirmed...
After Hao Zhao brought back the survivors, Sima Yi determined that the main force of Cao's army had moved northward from the Zhongtiao Mountain camp, so Cao's troops on the flanks could not help but relax...
It's a good thing, he saw the fighter plane.
If the main force of Cao's army is still near Zhongtiao Mountain, it would be inappropriate for Sima Yi to make any big moves. After all, Sima Yi does not have many men and horses at the moment, and every loss means that the strength of his men is weakened.
.
"Would you like to ask your lord for some reinforcements?"
Hao Zhao suggested.
Sima Yi thought for a moment and shook his head. Let's not talk about whether the request for reinforcements can be supplemented immediately. Simply speaking, if Cao Cao knows that he has a lot of troops here, he will inevitably increase the defense here, which will not be conducive to Sima Yi's sneak attack plan.
As long as Sima Yi can open a hole, he may cut off Lao Cao's food route, and then force Cao's army to turn back, or send reinforcements from Tongguan, which is equivalent to him directly disrupting the situation with a small number of troops.
Cao's army's layout in the Heluo area of Hedong created better opportunities for Hussar Feiqian's final victory.
Therefore, Sima Yi's strategic purpose was not to capture the city, but to "disrupt".
Disrupting the opponent's layout is equivalent to taking the initiative.
Well, that's right, it's just a stick to stir things up...
…
…
The main camp of Cao's army.
Mao Jie hurried in, raised his hands to Cao Cao and said, "My lord, we found it!"
Cao Cao tilted his head slightly and gestured to the map, "Point it out!"
Mao Jie stepped forward and clicked on a location near Zhang Yangchi on the map.
"The thief army Sima is probably in this position. There are more than thousands of people and cavalry. They may not all be elite soldiers, but at least they are trained cavalry with skillful riding skills..."
After that, Mao Jie pointed his finger to the side and said again: "There were originally ferry defenders in Pubanjin, about 800 people here."
Cao Cao thought for a long time and said slowly: "If we don't get rid of this thief, we will have a thorn in his back."
Right now, Cao Cao has to make many plans.
What to do if Fei Qian attacks, and how to attack if he doesn't?
What should I do if there is a problem with the Shangdang Party?
as well as……
The land of Shandong...
Here, Cao Cao has received many reports one after another.
There is good news, and of course there is bad news, and overall, there is far more bad news from the rear than good news from the front.
In the days after Cao Cao left Shandong, many people had jumped out and stirred things up openly or covertly.
Cao Cao has sent Cheng Yu back, ready to put out the fire at any time.
Cheng Yu's hands are relatively dark. After Cheng Yu makes a move first, Cao Cao can pretend to be "Oh, I just found out about this"...
So now Cao Cao's head hurts and his butt is on fire.
If Sima Yi inserts an acupuncture needle into his waist, it will be really hard to live...
When it comes to cavalry tactics, Cao Cao doesn't have many good ones.
Even Cao Cao himself did not dare to say that he could command the cavalry as well as his arms, so using cavalry to control cavalry is undoubtedly to use short strikes to attack long ones. Cao Cao hopes to drag the hussars into the rhythm of the battlefield that he is familiar with.
Moreover, there were not many war horses in Cao's army. They were all used on the edge of the sword, and they were so tight that they could not move away.
But this does not mean that Cao Cao can only be beaten passively.
Cao Cao guessed what Sima Yi wanted to do. After all, if he were in Sima Yi's position, he would also make a move similar to Sima Yi's to contain the opponent's troops.
Therefore, if you want Sima Yi to fall into his trap, you must have soldiers and horses that can really "contain" him...
Cao Cao looked up at Mao Jie.
Mao Jie was also mentally prepared. He raised his hands and said, "I am willing to share my worries with the Lord!"
Cao Cao nodded, "I'm very pleased that you have this intention. However, you are not good at cavalry fighting... Come, go and lead the cavalry captain... No, go and ask General Zijing to come!"
This is an on-site upgrade.
"Qian Zi Jing is good at cavalry..." Cao Cao said to Mao Jie again, "If the Sima thief wants to attack my flank... he will probably choose this position..."
…
…
Jizhou, Yecheng.
Chen Qun has ordered all counties and counties to strictly enforce garrison, and they are not allowed to believe in any transfer orders, nor are they allowed to leave the garrison without authorization.
This was the best he could think of.
In Chen Qun's opinion, Wei Yan was like a louse in his hair, crawling everywhere, biting one on the left and sucking on the right. It would not cause death on the spot, but it would still be very uncomfortable. He did not think that Wei Yan's men alone could
Those few infantry were able to capture Yecheng, but they caused turmoil in Jizhou.
If you send people to catch them, you have to be like a grate. Only by passing through the grate carefully can you catch the formation of Wei Yan's soldiers pretending to be Cao Jun...
Damn it, when Chen Qun thought of this incident, an unknown fire rose in his heart.
How could Wei Yan pretend to be Cao Jun and be so skilled in business?
Isn't it true that a man can change his name or his surname?
When Wei Yan was reduced to pieces, Chen Qun's claws became numb.
Chen Qun has no problem with key garrisoning, but in addition to key garrisoning, more manpower must be dispatched to investigate...
Without instant messaging tools, the efficiency of dragnet investigation is pitifully low. Even the investigation team does not know whether other queues have checked the same place. It is possible that all queues have checked somewhere.
Several times, but no one went to another place.
Especially some large households need to be investigated carefully.
Unable to bear the harassment, the large households filed a complaint.
Chen Qun also had a headache.
Unless Chen Qun leaves Yecheng and personally commands these investigation teams.
But Chen Qun couldn't leave.
He must sit in Yecheng and protect Cao Pi, otherwise if something happens to Cao Pi, his Chen family will be buried with him.
Under the current situation, the manor system of the gentry and gentry in Jizhou has been greatly damaged...
The city can lock four gates, but what about the manor outside the city?
It is true that the manor owner can build a fort and a large village to protect the family and some servants and tenants within the wall. However, no matter which manor owner is, it is impossible to build a majestic city wall around all his land.
At most, it would be great to just build a fence. Some manor owners could only put up a sign at the intersection to show the difference.
Of course, there are some private armed forces in these manor, servants guarding the courtyard, etc., but compared with the soldiers under Wei Yan, the gap is too big. After all, there are some differences between professional and part-time soldiers.
The contradiction lies here...
The manor owner valued his land too much. Even if Chen Qun persuaded them to come to Yecheng to stay for a while and then go back when the danger passed, the vast majority of the manor landowners were unwilling. They would rather stay in their own land.
In manors, even the defense systems of these manor docks are much worse than those of cities.
The previous gentry and squire who suffered a loss still couldn't wake up these people.
Sometimes it was not that Cao Jun was unwilling to protect them, but that he was really powerless.
The front line also needs people, but now the back line is unstable. The money and food for the soldiers and horses do not fall from the sky. They are automatically generated in the town warehouses anytime and anywhere. It is already very difficult to draw out the soldiers who are the key points of defense. How can we send them?
More people went to the countryside to clear out the scattered Wei Yan squad?
But if Wei Yan's team is allowed to operate in Jizhou for too long, even if Wei Yan evacuates in the future, the Jizhou guys will inevitably hold a grudge. These Jizhou guys may not hate their enemy Wei Yan, but they will definitely hate Chen Qun who "didn't come to the rescue"...
Therefore, after all, Chen Qun did not want to offend these nobles, squires, and powerful families too much. He was more or less hesitant to deploy some soldiers who were guarding the city around Yecheng. At least, he would sort out these places around Yecheng and remove them.
Wei Yan's team.
Perhaps, three thousand soldiers can still be put together?
But who should lead the army?
…
…
Xu County.
Cui Yan also has a mansion in Xu County. He was supposed to lead the army north, but was delayed due to some things.
Cui Yan was sitting in the hall in plain clothes. He looked at his son Cui Qin who was walking back from outside. His expression was dull and he seemed a little unhappy.
"Father..." Cui Qin lowered his head.
Cui Yan looked at Cui Qin coldly and said nothing for a while.
Cui Qin's head was slightly sweaty.
"You have grown up and made your own decisions?" Cui Yan said to Cui Qin, "Do you know what time it is now?"
Cui Qin lowered his head and said: "Father... Your Majesty, Your Majesty personally examined the child's knowledge, and that's... um, um..."
Cui Yan stared at Cui Qin, "I'm asking you if you know what time it is now?"
Cui Yan didn't care what official positions his children got, because he knew that these official positions were empty, just like the moon in the flower well in the water, which looked good, but was of no use.
In Jizhou, Yuzhou, and throughout Shandong, what matters is not official position, but territory and connections.
If you don’t have your own territory or connections, even if you have an official position, you will be kicked off soon...
Cui Qin thought it was his knowledge that the emperor appreciated, but he didn't know that the emperor really thought he was knowledgeable?
"..." Cui Qin was silent, obviously he understood in his heart, but he didn't want to stay behind Cui Yan anymore. He wanted to stand up and get his own title, not just "Son of Cui Biejia"
』.
"You shouldn't take the initiative to see His Majesty..." Cui Yan didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing as soon as he arrived in Xu County. He originally thought that all the naughty children belonged to other people's families, but he didn't expect that his own children would also turn into naughty ones.
. This made Cui Yan very sad and had a headache.
"I know my mistake, kid." Cui Qin lowered his head and said, "But Your Majesty kindly invites you..."
"Really?" Cui Yan said in a deep voice, "You can refuse. If you can't get there by bus, you still have a good reputation."
Cui Qin was stunned, thought for a moment and said: "Father...but Your Majesty...if father doesn't want to, my child...my child can also resign..."
Cui Yan looked at Cui Qin for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "Since your Majesty has already granted you the favor, how can you not allow yourself to shirk? Just do your best. If...if you encounter any crisis in the future...don't take refuge in danger, rest."
If you want to destroy Cui's name, that's it..."
Cui Qin was startled, "Father?!"
"A companion to a king is a companion to a tiger." Cui Yan sighed and said, "You think you have obtained an official position, but you don't know that you have swallowed bait... Now the only thing you can do is be careful with your words and deeds... Just be careful!"
"Father!" Cui Qin bowed to the ground.
"Go and have a rest." Cui Yan waved his hand, "Don't let the Cui family's name fall."
Cui Qin had no choice but to bow respectfully and slowly retreat.
Cui Yan watched him leave, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
What is Emperor Liu Xie going to do?
He actually extended his claws to his son?
Or is it not just his son, but also the children of other officials in Xu County?
This is really...
interesting.
However, having his child fall into such a situation, even if Cui Qin jumped into it himself, made Cui Yan feel unhappy to a certain extent. It's just that he doesn't have much time and energy to pay attention to this matter now, because in Jizhou
Cao Pi of Yecheng has been urging him three times a day to lead troops to encircle and suppress Wei Yan's team that was intruding in Jizhou. It is not good to delay any longer...
Anyway, things are happening everywhere, it's like being stuck in quicksand, even if you know what you should do, you just can't help yourself.
Originally, Cui Yan thought it would be a good choice for his son to leave Yecheng and come to Xu County. But now it seems that with the world in such chaos, where is the real place to stay?
…
…
Xiangyang.
After receiving the news of the great changes in Jiangling, Cao Ren hurried back to Xiangyang and summoned Cai Mao and other local Jingzhou natives to calm the people.
To be honest, Cao Ren and Cai Mao didn't get along very well.
Although Cai Mao did not get rid of the situation after being teased by Zhou Yu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, after Cao Cao joined Cao Cao, he did not get the territory and population he wanted. Instead, Cao Cao continued to attack Jingzhou.
There was so much blood that Jingzhou as a whole looked very depressed.
Moreover, the Cao family has been guarding against the Cai family intentionally or unintentionally. Although they are polite on the surface and have given Cai Hao a title, in reality, the military power is not tainted by Cai Hao at all. They would rather use civil servants than let Cai Hao.
Lead.
Mrs. Niu was only called Xiao Tiantian when there was nothing to do. Now she saw something happened in Jiangling and only called her urgently. This attitude naturally made Cai Hao feel uncomfortable. Therefore, after Cai Hao met Cao Ren, he still had the etiquette that he should have, but he was like
It was like playing two-parter all night last night, feeling depressed and wandering.
"Uh-huh!"
Cao Ren looked around, his eyes fell heavily on Cai Mao, and then he said in a deep voice, "A certain person has been entrusted by the emperor and has high hopes from the prime minister to provide support to Jingzhou, treat scholars with sincerity, and support the people. Now there is the Sun family in Jiangdong."
, betraying the alliance, killing generals, and seizing my Jiangling, this is a serious crime!"
"In the past, the children of Jiangdong came to Xiangyang with sincere words, willing to join hands to fight against Fiji and help each other in times of difficulty. At that time, on the high platform, they swore a blood alliance, and the words are still in my ears! Who would have expected that the rats from Jiangdong, taking advantage of my unpreparedness, brazenly sent troops to attack Jiangling and kill me?
The military academy is harming our people! My heart aches when I hear this!"
"The Sun family of Jiangdong does not want to serve the country, but only knows how to wolf down and greedy, which is really despicable and shameless! Jiangling is an important town of the country. With a heart of trust, I entrusted Jiangdong to stay temporarily. I expected Jiangdong to guard it with loyalty and care for it with kindness. Unexpectedly
The traitors from Jiangdong had evil intentions and actually raised an army to seize my city and kill my good generals. Their behavior is hateful and their actions are worthy of punishment!"
"I hereby declare to the Emperor that I will march south to avenge the humiliation of Jiangling and rectify the power of the world! I will definitely punish the Sun family for their rebellion and bring them to justice, so as to appease the spirit of Jiangling's damaged soldiers and people in heaven!"
Cao Ren shouted a few high-pitched words, and when he saw Cai Mao and others still lowering their heads and showing no signs of eating, he couldn't help but feel an unknown fire rising in his heart. He snorted coldly and said, "In this time of crisis, you all should unite sincerely.
Let’s overcome the difficulties together! In the past, the disputes and the people were in trouble. Was it not because of the loss of this sincerity that Jingzhou was in chaos? 』
"There is an ancient saying, "The tree that hugs each other is born from the smallest grain; the nine-story platform is born from tired soil." If all of you here today can give up your ego and achieve great things, there will be no need to worry about the loss of Jiangling and the decline of Jingzhou.
?』
Cao Ren was indeed annoyed.
The main reason is that Jingzhou is unable to support itself alone. It has to attack Wuguan and support Hanzhong. Now it has been stabbed in the back by Jiangdong, and everyone in Jingzhou has its own thoughts and ideas. It should be said that Cao Ren still had the time and means to win over a faction.
One faction is supporting another faction, and now, he is like supporting a house with air leakage everywhere, and it is about to collapse.
If shouting slogans can defeat the enemy, then Cao Ren would simply invite a group of civil servants to stand on the top of the city and shout slogans and be done with it...
In the end, you still have to have a big stick in your hand.
This Jiangdong sneak attack really caught Cao Ren off guard.
He did expect that Jiangdong would tear up the alliance, but he didn't expect that Jiangdong would do it so quickly!
Cao Ren originally thought that if Jiangdong could not survive for two or three years, he should be able to survive for at least one year!
result……
And the key is that Cao Ren's attacks in both Wuguan and Hanzhong directions were not smooth!
To attack Wuguan and Hanzhong, Cao Ren also knew that both were difficult, but now this change was too embarrassing. The attack failed to achieve the effect, and when he turned around, his own chrysanthemum was stabbed by his allies!
Cao Ren thought about it and now he could only draw some more blood from the Jingzhou natives.
Firstly, Cao Cao was engaged in a fierce battle east of Heluo River, and there were no extra soldiers to support him. Even if he had, if he took a detour from Heluo to Jingzhou, all the food would be cold.
On the other hand, Jizhou has also been attacked by Wei Yan, Yanzhou and Yuzhou are also in turmoil, and those in Qingzhou and Xuzhou are also a bit unstable, so the soldiers and horses around Xu County cannot move around.
Without foreign aid, we can only mobilize the folks in Jingzhou to expand domestic demand...
Cao Ren believes that the battle to regain Jiangling is not difficult to fight, but the difficult thing is how to get more flesh and blood in the hands of Cai Mao and others...
