In a battle between the Shu army and the Wei army, the 40,000 Wei army suffered casualties and nearly 10,000 casualties, and more than 30,000 people were captured.
Victory in this battle meant that Yangzhou was completely pacified.
Gan Ning sent his troops back to Xiapi County, and four days later Xu Shu also sent his troops back to Xiapi County. The two armies merged, and the next goal was to deal with Xia Houyuan, who was already in Pengcheng.
…
Anyang County, located in Runan County, is the border between Runan County and Nanyang County. After Zhang Liao and Pang Tong defeated Gao Lan, they marched eastward and quickly captured Anyang County and stationed themselves in Anyang County.
In the study, Pang Tong and Zhang Lia were discussing matters.
"Boom! Boom!!"
Outside the study, there was a knock on the door, and Huang Xu and Yan Yan came.
The two of them entered the study and bowed to Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao waved his hand for the two of them to sit down and said with a smile: "You are here just in time. We have just received news from Yangzhou. Xu Shu captured Yangzhou governor Li Tong and chief official Yang Chi, killed general Han Hao, and captured nearly 50,000 people.
The Yu Wei army eliminated the last force in Yangzhou. After careful calculation, Yu Jin, Li Tong and Yang Chi surrendered. In addition, Han Hao and Shi Huan were killed. It can be said that a beautiful victory was won. Your Majesty
After getting the news, I must be extremely happy."
Huang Xuxiao said: "Xu Shu is one of your Majesty's most trusted advisors. It is reasonable for him to achieve such results. Mr. Zhang, Military Advisor Pang, General Yan and I have completed the deployment and are waiting for the order."
Pang Tong had a smile on his face and stood up suddenly.
Mentioning Xu Shu's military exploits, Pang Tong was also very happy and happy for Xu Shu's victory.
The two parties were friends and studied together in Lumen Mountain. However, Pang Tong was not the first in literature and the second in martial arts. Pang Tong assisted Zhang Liao in attacking Yuzhou and was also competitive. In particular, Wang Can regarded Bingzhou as a battlefield and Yuzhou as a battlefield.
One battlefield, and Yangzhou as a battlefield. Each of the three battlefields had a commander, which made Pang Tong want to fight a beautiful and victorious battle.
He looked at Zhang Liao, nodded and said: "Wen Yuan, give the order to attack."
Zhang Liao stood up in high spirits and said loudly: "Send the order and let people from all counties and counties attack."
"promise!!"
Huang Xu and Yan Yan received the order and happily left the study to convey the order.
Pang Tong and Zhang Liao looked at each other and both left the study. Because the next battle did not need to stay in Anyang County, they had to move the battlefield and approach Ancheng, the Yuzhou Prefecture.
…
Ancheng, Governor's Mansion.
In the hall, Cao Ren was sitting directly above, receiving the scout who had just arrived from outside. Seeing that the scout looked strange, Cao Ren felt something was wrong and asked in a deep voice: "What's the news?"
The scout bowed slightly, clasped his fists and said: "Reporting to the Governor, Yingchuan County was attacked by the Shu army and has been lost." Yingchuan County is located between Luoyang and Runan. Luoyang has long been the territory of the Shu army, and Yingchuan County has been lost.
Without support, it was easily captured by the army sent by Pang Tong, without causing much change.
After hearing this, Cao Ren looked gloomy.
During this period of time, although the Shu army did not attack Ancheng, Cao Ren knew that the Shu army must have a plan.
The sudden loss of Yingchuan County is the best proof.
Pang Tong and Zhang Liao ostensibly stayed in Anyang, but they must have taken action secretly, hoping to gradually encroach on Yuzhou. Cao Ren thought he had figured out Pang Tong's intentions, and was a little happy, but felt deeply helpless. Gao Lan lost 80,000 yuan
Cao Ren's ability to command Wei army soldiers weakened, and Cao Ren also recruited soldiers from various counties and counties to enter Ancheng to strengthen the defense of Ancheng. He was unable to support the remaining counties and counties, so he could only hold on.
The fall of Yingchuan County made Cao Ren feel bad.
Cao Ren waved his hand, and the scouts retreated.
An hour later, another scout ran in quickly, with a panicked look on his face.
Cao Ren frowned and said calmly: "Tell me, what's the bad news?"
The scout bowed to Cao Ren, clasped his fists and said: "Admiral, the governor, Yiyang, Anfeng and other places in the south of Runan County have all been captured by the Shu army. Southern Henan has been lost. Please make a decision."
Cao Ren trembled and couldn't help but swallowed.
Not long ago, Cao Ren thought that Pang Tong and Zhang Liao were preparing to gradually encroach on Yuzhou. Unexpectedly, his guess was completely wrong. There was no such thing. Pang Tong and Zhang Liao attacked a large area, with strong winds and rain, and the offensive was fierce. Even Cao Ren also
There is a premonition that Pang Tong and Zhang Liao's attacks are not over, Yingchuan County, Yiyang, Anfeng and other places are just the beginning.
what to do?
At this moment, a difficult question was placed in front of Cao Ren.
The capture of Yingchuan, Yiyang, Anfeng and other places will definitely cause huge turmoil. How to deal with the instability in Yuzhou? A series of things made Cao Ren feel a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.
He waved his hand and told the scout to retreat.
Cao Ren should think quietly and consider what to do next.
But while Cao Ren was still in a daze, four scouts ran back in a hurry. These four scouts also looked anxious and seemed to be in a hurry.
Cao Ren looked at the four scouts standing in the hall, and felt a pain in his head.
His voice was hoarse and he asked in a deep voice: "What's the news?"
The first scout standing on the left clasped his fists and said: "Reporting to the Governor, Xiping County, Dingying County and other places north of Shangcai County were all captured by the Shu army, and the territory north of Runan County fell."
Cao Ren looked at the second scout with numb eyes and motioned for the second scout to speak.
The scout clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "Reporting to the Governor, Nanton County, Xihua County, Ruyang County and other places northeast of Pingyu County have all fallen, and the northeast of Runan County has all fallen."
When Cao Ren heard this, his heart began to beat faster and faster.
In fact, his face gradually turned red, and something was very wrong.
Next, the third scout said: "Reporting to the Governor, Xinyang County and Ruyin County to the east of Gushi County have all fallen, and all the east of Runan County has fallen."
"enough!!"
Cao Ren slapped his hand on the desk, his face was ferocious, and his eyes almost bulged out.
His breathing was rapid, and his heart was filled with anger.
After a while, Cao Ren's breathing calmed down slightly, but it was not that he really calmed down, but that he suppressed the anger in his heart and forced himself to calm down. He looked at the fourth scout who reported the news and asked in a deep voice
He said: "They started from the north and east of Runan. You must have brought bad news from the south."
The scout nodded and replied: "The Governor is wise, Yuanlu County and Fubo County south of Xincai County have all fallen, and all the territory south of Runan County has been lost."
"Wow!!"
Cao Ren's chest kept rising and falling, and he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood mist.
He was already prepared in his heart. After hearing the news reported by the scout, he still couldn't hold back his anger. The blood in his chest was boiling. He was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood. Since Runan County and Nanyang County bordered, the north, east and south were occupied.
, and to the west is the boundary of Nanyang County, which means that he is trapped and becomes a turtle in a jar.
"Grand Governor, please take care of yourself!"
"Grand Governor, the soldiers are expecting you to stabilize the situation. You must cheer up."
…
The four scouts kept talking.
In fact, Cao Ren was the backbone of the Wei army's soldiers. If Cao Ren collapsed, they would not be able to stand. Cao Ren took a long breath, and his pale face gradually regained a trace of ruddy color. He tried his best to calm down, and then ordered:
: "Come here, get the map."
Not long after, the soldier took out a map and placed it on Cao Ren's desk.
Cao Ren stretched out his hand and pointed at Yingchuan County, Shangcai County, Pingyu County, Gushi County, Xincai County and other places, plus the lost Yiyang and Anfeng. He felt depressed and didn't know what to do.
Done.
Judging from the map, Ancheng, where Cao Ren is located, has been isolated and is surrounded by the Shu army.
The situation suddenly became extremely difficult.
