+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
On May 17, the twelfth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei took the lead in launching an attack on Jiyang.
Nie Yang ordered Guan Ping to assemble soldiers and horses from Nie Yang and Anzhong counties, with a total of 6,000 people launching a sneak attack on Ji Yang. That night, Ji Yang County Lieutenant Fu Xu fought to the death in Ji Shui camp, and the entire army was wiped out. Ji Yang ordered Deng Zhi
He immediately made preparations for the battle and urgently asked for help from Nanyang County soldier Cao Shi Du Ji, the defender of Jiu Nu City. At that time, Nanyang County soldier Cao Shi Du Ji gathered 3,000 soldiers and horses and rushed from Jiu Nu City to reinforce Jiyang City.
After Guanping, he will be stationed at Judukou in the south.
The sudden war caught not only Deng Zhi by surprise, but also Cao Peng.
At noon the next day, Cao Peng was shocked when he received the news that Jiyang was attacked... However, when he heard that Fu Shu had been killed by the Jishui River in battle, he became furious. After a brief panic, Cao Peng gave the order to use Dian
Man and Xu Yi were the vanguard. He personally led 6,000 troops and rushed to Jiyang for reinforcements. As soon as the war machine was turned on, the entire Wuyin County immediately started to move. The grain stored in the treasury, as well as various ordnance supplies, continued to flow.
Transport outwards. Groups of soldiers and horses pulled out of the camp and assembled outside Wuyin City.
"uncle!"
Cao Peng put on his helmet and was about to leave, but was blocked by Deng Ai.
"You can't send troops."
"Why?"
Cao Peng looked at Deng Ai in surprise, not quite understanding.
"Not to mention that Jiyang is guarded by Deng and two uncles Du. Even if Liu Bei's troops occupy the south and gather together, they will never be able to conquer Jiyang. On the contrary, Wuyin's troops will be empty if you send troops. If Liu Bei crosses the river to attack, Wuyin will
I'm afraid it's hard to resist, but I hope my uncle will think twice."
Deng Ai grabbed Cao Peng's sleeve and shouted to dissuade him.
After Cao Peng hesitated for a moment, he smiled.
"Don't worry, Liu Bei doesn't dare to take action."
He knows Liu Bei very well!
This person is definitely a master who has no profit and cannot afford to be early.
Once Liu Bei uses troops against Wuyin, it means Liu Bei officially declares war on Cao Cao. Although Liu Bei conquered Wancheng before and declared war on Cao Cao, under Liu Biao's suppression and the current situation in Nanyang, it is by no means a good opportunity to start a war.
How could Liu Bei send troops?
At this time, Tan Ma came to report: There were frequent troop movements in Wancheng this morning.
Chen arrived and Lu Ji, the commander-in-chief of Xi'e and Bowang, simultaneously reduced their troops and made a defensive posture.
Liu Bei ordered Xun Chen to guard Wancheng. He personally led the troops and horses, with Guan Zhang and Zhao Yun as the vanguard, and rushed to Niyang...
Cao Peng patted Deng Ai's little head and said softly: "As I expected, Liu Bei did not dare to take action. He sent troops to Niyang, on the one hand, to prevent the situation from escalating, and on the other hand, he did not take advantage of the situation.
If I don't rush to help Jiyang, it will be difficult for Deng Bomiao and Du Bohou to resist Liu Bei. At that time, Liu Bei can capture Jiyang in one fell swoop, but then I will be passive.
Little Ai should stay at home and study hard with your Uncle Sheep.
Besides, Jiyang is only a day's journey from Wuyin. If Wuyin is in danger, I will immediately come back to help, so what can Liu Bei do to me?"
After saying that, Cao Peng shook off Deng Ai's little hand and strode out of the house.
There were flying camel soldiers who had prepared horses for him.
Cao Peng got on his horse and led his flying camel soldiers away at lightning speed.
Deng Ai ran out of the government office gate and stood on the doorstep, looking at Cao Peng's retreating back. There was a hint of worry on his childish face.
"Xiao Ai, what's wrong with you?"
Cai Di stepped forward and asked softly.
Deng Ai said softly: "I don't know, I just think that uncle may have underestimated Liu Bei this time."
When Cai Di heard this, he burst into laughter.
He patted Deng Ai on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiao Ai, don't worry. The teacher has experienced many battles and has dealt with many critical situations? How can Liu Xuande do anything to the teacher? In my opinion, you are worrying too much.
...By the way, my wife just wrote an article and asked me to send it to Master Lu. But I happen to have something to do here, and Yang Juncheng asked me to see Uncle Jiang. Why don't you go out and help me write this article?
Please send the article over."
As he spoke, Cai Di handed a book bag to Deng Ai.
Deng Ai took it, nodded and said, "Okay then, I'll send it to Lord Lu right away."
Lu Zhuji is Lu Yu, the chief chronicler of the office.
Lu Yu is in charge of Nanyang Pravda. Although it is published every ten days, it has an extremely heavy task. As Cao Peng's mouthpiece in Nanyang County, Nanyang Pravda is responsible for guiding public opinion in Nanyang County. Don't underestimate this public opinion, it is crucial.
Time will have a huge influence. Now, Liu Bei's brazen dispatch of troops is by no means a trivial matter. Nanyang Pravda must convey this news as soon as possible, and must occupy the name of righteousness and condemn Liu Bei's atrocities...
In the past, whenever something big happened, Cao Peng would write an article in Nanyang Pravda.
For example, after the spring plowing, in the first issue of Nanyang Pravda, Cao Peng wrote an article discussing how to dig canals during the slack period to prevent drought. How to dig canals and how to strengthen water conservancy construction were what was considered at the time.
A widely discussed topic.
For those Nanyang powerful people, they own a large amount of land.
How to ensure their interests and income is what they are most concerned about.
The benefits of digging canals outweigh the disadvantages, both for Nanyang powerful people and the government. Although Cao Peng proposed that the canal digging should be mainly done by powerful people, which made many people dissatisfied. If you think about it carefully, if there are
When the government digs canals, many disputes will inevitably arise. Therefore, after discussion, these powerful people decided to invest in digging canals on their respective lands, and then the government would come forward to make adjustments and erect Cao's cars... In this way, for
It is undoubtedly a happy outcome for both parties.
Now, Cao Peng wanted to start a war, so he naturally had to issue a statement.
Cao Peng didn't have time, so he asked Huang Yueying to ghostwrite and follow Cao Peng's habits to write an eloquent editorial.
The title of this editorial is: If you don’t want to fight, you will never be afraid of fighting!
Huang Yueying first named the subject, and then stated how Ji Yang was attacked.
In the editorial, he greatly praised the heroic actions of Fu Wei and others, and at the same time denounced the Liu Bei Group, tore up the agreement, brazenly launched a war, and destroyed the peaceful situation in Nanyang County...
It is not much different from the editorials in later newspapers.
But in this era, it has extraordinary significance.
Cao Peng took the lead in occupying the moral high ground. Compared with the powerful Nanyang County, this aura of justice shrouded Cao Peng.
After Lu Yu received the editorial, he immediately ordered it to be typeset and printed.
The first supplement issued by Nanyang Pravda must be delivered to the hands of powerful people from all over the country on the same day... The supplement only has two pages. One page tells the story of what happened in a straightforward way. The other page uses Huang Yueying's editorial as the theme.
Lord, add other comments.
Number of supplements, 3,000 copies.
The targets targeted were not only powerful people from various places, but also various academies in Nanyang.
As the editor-in-chief of Nanyang Pravda, Lu Yu naturally would not miss such an opportunity and personally wrote an admonition to Liu Bei.
The printing work of newspapers began rapidly.
The entire Nanyang Pravda office became extremely busy...
Deng Ai walked all the way and saw that everyone was walking in a hurry and they were very busy.

"Cao Youxue, have you sent out troops?"
Xun Chen stood by the Yushui River with his hands behind his back.
"At noon, Cao Peng took Dianman and Xu Yi as the vanguard and led his troops to Jiyang."
"That means that Wu Yin is now guarding the emptiness?"
"Exactly."
A faint smile appeared on Xun Chen's face.
He suddenly turned around and looked at the two generals standing behind him, "Yide, Zilong, my lord's future is now in your and my hands.
Now my lord personally led his troops and horses, and ambushed Cao Peng with his two generals.
Yide immediately led his troops and set off... Remember, you can't alert the enemy.
I and Zilong's central army will then attack, and we will meet up with Yide early tomorrow morning at the latest, and then conquer Wuyin in one fell swoop.
Once Wuyin falls, Cao Peng's layout in Nanyang will also be in vain. Although he has Nanyang Pravda as his mouthpiece, it will be difficult to gain a foothold without sufficient force. After Yide arrives in Wuyin, he must hide his traces
, never attack without permission."
"Here!"
Zhang Fei heard this and stepped in to comply.
He turned around and strode away, while Zhao Yun remained expressionless.
Cao Peng is right. With the current situation, Liu Bei really does not dare to act rashly.
However, he overlooked one thing...
The three of them, Liu, Guan, and Zhang, were Enruo brothers. Although it is said that the Three Brothers in Taoyuan were fabricated by later generations, the relationship between Liu Bei and the three was not fabricated.
Moreover, the relationship between the three of them is definitely not comparable to that of Xiao Bayi.
Xiao Bayi was betrothed to Jinlan in Xudu, and to be honest, there was an element of showmanship in it.
Especially Cao Zhen and others do not have such a deep relationship with Cao Peng. Among Xiaobayi, except Wang Mai and Deng Fan, the other people's relationship with Cao Peng is not as deep as that of Wang Mai and Deng Fan.
Cao Peng and Cao Peng are sincere sworn sworn friends; Cao Zhen, Zhu Zan and Cao Zun have deep feelings. Although Dianman and Xu Yi have some friendship, they are not as pure as Liu, Guan and Zhang when they first met.
Cao Peng underestimated the relationship between Liu Bei and the three of them.
He never expected that when Guan Yu was determined to take revenge, Liu Bei would support Guan Yu in sending troops regardless of the consequences...
However, counselors such as Xun Chen, Zhuge Liang, and Ma Liang did not dissuade Liu Bei. Instead, they worked together to make plans for Liu Bei's troops.
Although Xun Chen secretly disagreed with Liu Bei's sending troops.
In other words, he does not approve of Liu Bei taking the initiative...
You can eat your wealth and share your worries. Now that Liu Bei has made up his mind, Xun Chen, who is Liu Bei's number one planner, will naturally plan carefully for Liu Bei. Just yesterday, Zhuge Liang left Wancheng and returned overnight.
Xiangyang, to win the support of the old Shanyang tribe.
Kuai Yue and others were not alone in Jingzhou.
Although the old Shanyang tribe has become estranged from Liu Biao, it still has huge energy.
Liu Biao is indeed unwilling to be an enemy of Cao Cao... In other words, under the current situation, he does not dare to be an enemy of Cao Cao. But if Liu Bei can really capture Wuyin and defeat Cao Peng this time, Liu Biao will never object.
If Cao Cao loses Nanyang, then Xu Du will be exposed under Liu Biao's nose. Although he is afraid of Cao Cao, he will not mind adding some trouble to Cao Cao...
Thinking of this, a cold and cruel look flashed across Xun Chen's face.
He turned and glanced at Zhao Yun, "Zilong, immediately send someone to Bowang again to remind Uncle Zhi: The key to the battle of Wuyin lies in whether he can hold Wei Yan back."
Zhao Yun accepted the order and strode away.
Xun Chen took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
Wen Ruo, after this battle, do you still dare to say that my choice was wrong?
