"Well, pass on the order and ask the soldiers to hold on to the city and wait for the lord's reinforcements. As long as the reinforcements arrive, the Xiliang army will have nothing to fear. Don't forget that we are also an invincible army." Xiahou Dun shouted.
All the young and strong people in the city were marched up the city wall by Xiahou Dun to defend themselves against the Xiliang army's attack. However, these poor people went up to the city wall without any training and did not know how to defend. They just stood on the city wall stupidly.
Seeing the huge rocks thrown up by the Xiliang army, causing heavy casualties, under such circumstances, Xiahou Dun would not care about the lives of the people and kept recruiting them.
Late at night, Xiahou Dun summoned more than a thousand defenders in the city and abandoned the city, leaving all the wounded soldiers in the city.
He was able to resist the Xiliang army in Yuanwu for three days, which was his best effort, and Cao Cao had already sent a letter asking him to go to Jiyin to guard it.
Xiahou Dun complained about not being able to return to Dongjun and cooperate with Cao Zhen to resist the Xiliang army. However, he had just lost Hanoi County and his counselors also died in the war. He had no bargaining conditions and could only obey unconditionally.
The Xiliang army was at its peak, and Cao Cao also began to mobilize troops. The soldiers stationed in various places moved closer to the direction of Dongjun. The number of defenders in Dongjun city reached 30,000. At this time, the Xiliang army
Cao Zhen's army numbered only 40,000, and the two sides were evenly matched. In order to defend the city, Cao Zhen even divided the city's defenders into 10,000 men and stationed them outside the city, working hand in hand with the city.
The news in Yanzhou made Jia Rong very satisfied. In the majestic palace, Jia Rong was discussing with a group of counselors the attack on Yuzhou. Not only Yuzhou, but also Nanyang County, a city where Cao's army paid a price of nearly 100,000 people, was also there.
Within the scope of Jia Rong's care, if Yuzhou and Nanyang County can be captured in one fell swoop, the Xiliang army will have an absolute advantage when fighting Cao Cao, not only in terms of strength, but also in numbers.
In the era of cold weapons, war consumes population. A team can be drawn out at any time to fight the enemy. The level of recovery ability determines the situation of the war.
This is also the reason why during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the strength of a vassal state was first measured by the number of people under its rule.
Yu Shan rushed back to Yuzhou overnight and began to discuss with Guo Da about joining the Xiliang Army. This matter must be done carefully and no news should be leaked. Otherwise, if Cao Cao detects the slightest news, all the previous efforts will be wasted. Cao Cao treats his generals
, has always been very trusting, which also led to many generals in Yuzhou to be very loyal to Cao Cao. At this time, as long as Cao Cao gives an order, there are definitely not a few generals who will obey him.
The Xiliang Army captured Hanoi County and marched to the East County. While Cao Cao was panicking, Yu Shan was even more relieved. The stronger the Xiliang Army showed, and the entire Yuzhou was successfully put into the arms of the Xiliang Army.
To put it simply, Yu Dan would rather be a small county magistrate in the Liang Kingdom than serve as a county guard under Cao Jun. Even a strong general like Xiahou Dun was defeated by the Xiliang army in half a day. For
The Yellow Turban Army led by Guo Da did not have enough confidence.
While Guo Da was shocked by the attack speed of the Xiliang army, he began to secretly deploy troops and generals, and managed Yuzhou for many years. Although there were Cao Cao's people among them, under Yu Shan's planning, he was confident that he could send the entire Yuzhou to the enemy without anyone noticing.
Xiliang Army.
The defenders everywhere are basically his people. As long as he gives an order, the big flag on the city will definitely be the sword Daliang flag belonging to the Xiliang army.
Zhao Yun secretly sent out 2,000 troops, assisted by Lu Bu, and with Wang Yue exploring the front, which was unprecedentedly powerful. With this kind of formation, even if there were 20,000 enemy troops, Zhao Yun was confident of defeating them, mainly because there were 1,000 cavalrymen out of the 2,000.
They are composed of lone wolf soldiers. It is not a problem for one to outnumber ten on the battlefield.
As the leader of the army, Wang Yue naturally fulfilled his duties and maximized his ability to assassinate and spy on intelligence. Even if a fly appeared on the road ahead, it could be quickly passed to the rear.
The first is Yingchuan County. When two thousand Xiliang troops appeared under the city, it indeed caused panic among the people in the city. However, with the comfort of the generals, the Xiliang troops took over smoothly. As for the officials in the city, they were all ordered by Guo Da
Seized secretly.
Zhao Yun did everything he could to make peace with the people. This former general of the Liang Kingdom felt for the first time that the war was so smooth, without any losses, and how comfortable it was to capture a huge county.
I think back then, how difficult it was to capture a county and city. Even if all the weapons were used and we attacked day and night, it would be difficult to win.
What is more powerful than explosives is probably the majesty, the majesty from the Liang Kingdom.
Conquering the enemy without fighting, the Xiliang army dominated the world, Jia Rong treated the people well, and finally got the fruits of victory he deserved.
Before the people and businessmen of Yingchuan even reacted, a series of policies from the Liang Kingdom had been issued. Looking at the neat and solemn soldiers on the streets, the people felt very comfortable and had no resistance. After many years, Xi
The reputation of the Liang Army has long been known to everyone, and paper can never stop the fire. Various deeds related to Jia Rong, the Xiliang Army, have long been spread throughout the world.
After Yingchuan, Chen Guo and other Yuzhou rulers threw themselves into the arms of the Xiliang Army. All this was done secretly. After occupying Yuzhou, the Xiliang Army increased its strength by more than 50,000, all of which were well-trained soldiers.
, as the general surrendered to the Xiliang army, their destination was naturally decided.
The entire Yuzhou was occupied in an orderly manner. Jia Rong laughed heartily. He thought about Cao Cao's attack on Yuzhou, but he paid a lot of price, and finally Guo Da came to join him. After so many years of development in Yuzhou, the people can be said to be worthy of it.
The reason for living and working in peace is that the economic conditions are not good. Under the impact of the Xiliang Bank, the entire Cao Jun's rule was very bleak. If Cao Cao's strong men had not cut off their wrists and sold the resources, I am afraid that the Cao Jun's rule would have been even more bleak.
Guo Da eradicated his dissidents and imprisoned all the generals and officials loyal to Cao's army secretly, waiting for Liang's final decision.
After a hundred secrecy, there was naturally a general loyal to Cao Cao who was not discovered and spread the news that Yuzhou had surrendered to the Xiliang army.
However, at this time, the Xiliang Army had already arrived at the gate of Nanyang County. Together with the reinforcements sent by Jia Rong again, there were a total of 80,000 people, and Nanyang County was surrounded by 30% and 3 layers.
Cao Cao couldn't describe his feelings in words now. His advisers had previously advised Guo Da to be careful of Yuzhou, and he praised Guo Da emphatically, thinking that Guo Da could defend Yuzhou and resist the Xiliang army. Who knows,
Secretly, the flag of Cao's army in Yuzhou was replaced by the flag of Liang. The huge gap between the front and back made Cao Cao dizzy and fell ill in bed.
The doctor who came after hearing the news hurriedly treated him, but later determined that he was suffering from anger and would get better after a short rest.
When the counselors saw that Cao Cao was fine, they were relieved. If Yuzhou was lost, it would be lost. If Cao Cao was ill because of this, Cao Cao's army would be in complete danger.
Some counselors secretly wondered whether there were spies from the Xiliang Army in Yanzhou. Such things could deliver a fatal blow anytime and anywhere. The loss of Yuzhou made Cao's army, which was originally thought to be impregnable, full of loopholes.
After recovering from his illness, Cao Cao became even more suspicious. He secretly organized troops to inspect officials from various places. Once any officials found to be wrong were immediately arrested, the situation was tense and everyone was in danger. Even the counselors were cautious in their work, lest they should be punished.
There's something wrong.
At this time, Cao Cao would rather kill by mistake than let go. The loss of Yuzhou was a huge blow to him, and he even changed a batch of generals and generals in the army.
When Guo Da in Yuzhou did not rebel, Yanzhou had no defense line against Yuzhou. Now that Yuzhou belongs to the Liang Kingdom, all defenses need to be rearranged. The equipment of soldiers and horses, as well as the garrison of generals, all need Cao Cao's approval.
In Nanyang County, Li Dian scolded Guo Da more than once, and at the same time hurriedly strengthened the city defenses. When Cao's army attacked Jingzhou before, they filled up the moat outside Nanyang County. The army continued to attack day and night, and the city walls were full of potholes.
, still vaguely visible.
"Sir, the Xiliang army is now under the city. Is there any good strategy?" Li Dian turned his attention to Tian Chou. When Cao Cao's army withdrew, he left Cao Chun and Li Dian in the city, along with his adviser Tian Chou and both soldiers.
Thousands of people were on guard against the Xiliang Army in Jingzhou and Sili. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the impregnable Nanyang County became an isolated city. It was absolutely impossible to ask for help from Liu Bei's army, and Yuzhou had already belonged to the Liang Kingdom, and all the disadvantages were eliminated.
Moving closer to Cao Jun.
"General, there are currently 80,000 Xiliang troops outside the city, and there are only 20,000 defenders in the city. Even if all the young men are used to help defend the city, it will be difficult to save the city. My lord previously sent a letter saying that the Xiliang army has a powerful weapon.
Being able to directly open the city gate makes it impossible to guard against it, and Hanoi County is lost like this." Tian Chou said slowly, frowning, originally he wanted to say that Nanyang County is now in a dead end, but he swallowed his words again.
"Sir, don't you have a good strategy?" Cao Chun asked unwillingly.
"General, the food and grass in Nanyang County have always been provided by Yuzhou. Even the food and grass supplies that have been hoarded are only enough for one month. After one month, the army will be without food, lest the soldiers mutiny, and then the Xiliang army
We can capture Nanyang County without fighting." Tian Chou continued.
Li Dian and Cao Chun sighed, not knowing what to think. The originally good situation was completely broken due to Guo Da's rebellion. It can be said that Cao Jun's efforts over the past few years were all in vain. Nanyang County, which was finally captured, also became a
The Xiliang army has something in their pocket. Even if they abandon Nanyang County, they will have nowhere to escape. Yuzhou belongs to the Liang Kingdom, and Jingzhou is in front of them. After leaving the city, they will only speed up their destruction.
"Notify the lord of this matter as soon as possible, send fast horses, divide them into dozens, each carrying the same information, inform the lord of the situation in Nanyang, and wait quietly for the lord to make a decision." Tian Chou sighed.
