The setting sun is like blood, and the setting sun is setting in the west.
Hulao Pass stood quietly on the ground, blocking the Wei army's progress and making it difficult for Cao Cao to move forward.
Inside the level, the Shu army camp.
Shi A held a piece of paper in his hand, his expression was flying, the wind was blowing under his feet, and he quickly ran towards the Chinese army's tent. A figure passed by, and Shi A was like a gust of wind entering the camp. The speed was staggering.
Wang Can looked up and saw Shi Ah smiling happily, and asked with a smile: "Shi Ah, what's the good news? Well, don't rush to tell me. Let me guess, did Fazheng and Sima Yi fight again and win?" Wang Can
He looked up at Shi A with an expectant look on his face, but Shi A shook his head, with excitement still in his eyes.
Seeing that he didn't guess it, Wang Can said: "Tell me, what's the good news?"
Shi A said: "Your Majesty, you can see for yourself."
He took two steps forward and respectfully handed the note to Wang Can's hand.
Wang Can took the note and glanced at the content on the note. It clearly stated that Zhang Liao defeated Gao Lan's 80,000-strong army and captured more than 40,000 people, and that Gao Lan had expressed his submission.
"Good, what a great Zhang Wenyuan!!"
Wang Can couldn't help but jump up, extremely excited. His sudden shouting caused Dian Wei, who was patrolling outside the camp, to rush in, thinking that something had happened.
Wang Can walked back and forth in the tent excitedly, murmuring to himself: "As expected of Feng Chu, he easily defeated 80,000 Wei troops. It was really a hearty victory." Although it was Zhang Liao who led the army,
But Wang Can knew that it must be Pang Tong who gave Zhang Liao advice and achieved brilliant results.
Wang Can was indeed very happy. Some time ago, Fa Zheng destroyed 60,000 Wei troops in Bingzhou, and Pang Tong now destroyed 80,000 Wei troops in Yuzhou. In addition, Hulao Pass also achieved a small victory, which can be a heavy blow to Cao Cao.
.
Wang Can looked at Shi A and asked, "Is there any specific report on the battle situation?"
Shi A shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the letter sent by Fei Ge only contains battle reports and no specific battle conditions. Only when the scout who sent the news arrives at Hulao Pass can we know the specific battles in Yuzhou."
Wang Can thought for a while and ordered: "Tiger, call Amon."
"promise!!"
Dian Wei left immediately to inform Lu Meng.
After Shi Ahen reported the news, he also said goodbye and left the tent.
Not long after, Lu Meng hurried in, clasped his fists and asked, "Teacher, what do you want from me? Are you preparing to launch a fierce attack on Cao Cao and have a decisive battle with Cao Cao?"
Wang Can rolled his eyes, snorted, handed the note to Lu Meng, and said, "Here, take a look at it yourself."
Lu Meng took it respectfully, and was extremely excited after reading the news on the note. His mind changed, his eyes sparkled, and he said: "Teacher, you mean to spread the news to Wei Jun and make Cao Cao angry like you did last time.
, By the way, it shakes the morale of the Wei army." It must be said that Lu Meng was smart enough and immediately figured out Wang Can's thoughts.
Wang Can waved his hand and said: "Now that you know it, go and execute it."
"okay."
Lu Meng happily agreed and turned around to prepare.
Not long after, a thousand archers left the camp with prepared bows and arrows, exited Hulao Pass, and quickly approached the Wei army camp. Lu Meng led the soldiers fifty steps away from the Wei army camp, and ordered the soldiers to set up their formation. This time
The formation immediately made the patrolling Wei army nervous and they had to deal with it carefully.
The Shu soldiers outside the camp took out their long bows, strung their arrows, and aimed at the camp.
"Boom! Boom!!"
Bows and arrows shot through the air one after another, shooting randomly towards the Wei army camp.
In the blink of an eye, countless bows and arrows were shot at the Wei army camp. Just like last time, there was a piece of paper tied to the shaft of each bow and arrow, which said the battle situation in Yuzhou.
After several rounds of bows and arrows, Lu Meng called out and led the Shu soldiers to retreat quickly.
In the Wei army camp, the noisy and turbulent situation quickly calmed down.
Based on the experience last time, the soldiers of the Wei army knew that the notes tied to the bows and arrows were news. Many soldiers hurriedly picked up the bows and arrows and read the contents of the notes before the order was issued from the army.
In less than half a stick of incense, the news that Gao Lan had lost 80,000 troops spread throughout the military camp.
The Chinese army's tent was closed, and Cao Cao also knew the situation.
Cao Cao sat quietly, motionless, and the civil servants and generals below did not say a word. Compared to Sima Yi's defeat in the north, and Cao Cao being tricked by Wang Can at Hulao Pass, the Wei army in Yuzhou fell too hard.
Not only were all 80,000 Wei soldiers wiped out, but even Gao Lan surrendered to Wang Can, which dealt a heavy blow to Cao Cao.
After a long time, Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Everyone, tell me what you think. What should we do?"
Xu You said: "Your Majesty, this may be Wang Can's plan to deliberately deceive Your Majesty."
Cao Cao snorted and said coldly: "You can only think of such childish thoughts. The last time Sima Yi was defeated, Wang Can had people shoot out the news, and soon he got the news of Sima Yi's defeat. This time Gao Lan surrendered to the enemy,
The army's defeat cannot be fake. You think nothing happened and people lied to you, but does Wang Can need to lie to you?"
His tone was aggressive and he didn't care about Xu You's feelings at all.
Xu You felt bored and withdrew from the queue without saying a word.
Liu Ye stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Gao Shun has lost 80,000 troops and is temporarily too weak to take the initiative. However, Cao Ren is stationed in Ancheng and controls Runan, Yingchuan and other places, so he can definitely hold it."
Cao Cao nodded slightly and agreed.
Liu Ye continued: "Now, your Majesty should send a message to Yu Jin and Li Tong, asking them to deal with it carefully and not to fall into Xu Shu's plan. If Xu Shu kills tens of thousands more Wei troops and fails in several battlefields, it will really be a disaster.
All of them are going to be passively beaten, and Yu Jin must be allowed to stabilize Yangzhou."
Cao Cao said: "Zi Yang, send a message to Yu Jin and ask him to deal with it carefully."
"promise!!"
Liu Ye agreed and prayed in his heart that Yangzhou could be stabilized.
…
Yangzhou, Moling.
Xu Shu spent most of his time stabilizing Yangzhou and restoring Yangzhou's agriculture and commerce. He then left Zhang Hong and other old officials to stay with the Wu army, and led 100,000 troops north to Moling and stationed in Moling County.
Moling will definitely be a famous person in future generations.
Historically, Sun Quan moved the capital to Moling, built a city in Moling, and renamed it Jianye. Subsequently, various titles such as Jinling and Stone City came into being. Moling was also the name of Nanjing during the Qin and Han Dynasties. The geographical location of Moling is extremely important, as it controls the dangerous position of the Yangtze River.
The land, being able to contact Gan Ning's navy, and threatening Yangzhou from afar, had to be in our hands.
The army was stationed outside the city and did not choose to enter the city.
In the military camp, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai hurried to Xu Shu's camp.
After entering the camp, Gan Ning shouted loudly: "Commander Xu, news came from Yuzhou. There was a great battle between the two sides. Zhang Liao defeated 80,000 Wei troops and only lost a few thousand people. Military counselor, the battle in Yuzhou was in full swing, but we didn't."
You shouldn't be staying in Moling! You said that when the war started in Yuzhou, we also sent out troops. Now the time has come and it's time to send out troops."
Zhou Tai then said: "Military advisor, Fazheng defeated Sima Yi's 60,000-strong Wei army. Your Majesty also achieved a small victory, especially Pang Tong. You'd better take action quickly. If we don't take action, where will our face be?"
Xu Shu smiled and said: "Since Pang Tong has won, we will also send troops to go north to Xuzhou."
"ah!!"
After Gan Ning and Zhou Tai heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded, with incredible looks on their faces.
Taishi Ci raised the curtain of the tent and walked in. He had just heard Xu Shu's words outside the tent, and looked puzzled. He asked loudly: "Military advisor, your majesty has given us the target of Yangzhou. How can we attack Xuzhou?"
The three generals stared at Xu Shu blankly, confused.
Xu Shu said seriously: "The mission given to us by His Majesty is Yangzhou. I know this, but if Yangzhou is to be fought, Xuzhou must be fought as well. This time, I want to win Yangzhou and Xuzhou together."
As the saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too, Xu Shu had to win both, he had his cake and eat it too.
Gan Ning became even more excited when he heard Xu Shu's tone.
He clenched his fists and said loudly: "The military advisor is right. The place we are in is Yangzhou. The Yangzhou where Yu Jin, Li Tong and others are is only equivalent to a county, not even a county. To defeat such a
Yangzhou is boring. I also think we should tell the military advisor that whether it is Yangzhou or Xuzhou, we should settle the matter at the same time and then join forces with Pang Tong and Zhang Liao."
Taishi Ci clasped his fists and said, "Military advisor, you can really do nothing but make a sound, and you can make a surprise move."
Xu Shu said: "Both Fazheng and Pang Tong have made great contributions and made outstanding achievements. We cannot be idle."
Gan Ning cupped his fists and asked, "Commander, how did you arrange the fight? Give me the order."
Xu Shu put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "Let me tell you about the next arrangements. We will send troops north to attack Xuzhou directly,... and finally capture Yangzhou and Xuzhou. Is that clear?"
Taishi Ci, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai nodded, clasped their fists and said, "The general will understand!"
Xu Shu waved his hand and said: "In that case, let's go and prepare. Tomorrow morning we will vow to go north and attack Xuzhou."
"promise!!"
The three of them left excitedly to prepare for the next battle.
