To be precise, it was not Cao Cao who sent troops, but Cao Peng...
Cao Jun's attack should be a good thing for Zhuge Liang. After all, Cao Jun's attack will definitely make Jiangdong nervous, which is a rare good thing for Zhuge Liang's plan to lobby Jiangdong. However, Zhuge Liang always
Can't get excited.
Because Cao Peng defeated Yiyang!
The name of Yiyang comes from the words of Ying Shao, the prefect of Changsha in the Eastern Han Dynasty: He lived in the Yangtze River of Yishui, hence the name Yiyang.
"Shang Shu Yu Gong" records: As early as ancient times, Yiyang belonged to Jingzhou of the ancient Nine Provinces. It was the land of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was subordinate to Qianzhong County of Chu State during the Warring States Period. In 221 BC, the Qin State destroyed Chu and established Changsha County.
, it consists of nine counties including Yiyang. In the Western Han Dynasty, the two systems of counties and counties existed in parallel, so Yiyang was subordinate to Changsha State and Wuling County, and was unified under the Jingzhou Governor's Department. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the feudal state was abolished and counties and counties were established, so Changsha
The state was changed to Changsha County, and Yiyang was divided from Wuling County and became one of the eleven counties in Changsha.
However, Wuling County and Changsha County have been arguing over the ownership of Yiyang.
After all, Yiyang County once belonged to Wuling County, but it was also under the rule of Changsha State. Now that it is divided, Wuling County naturally disagrees.
This lawsuit, from the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, could not reach a conclusion.
Anyway, everyone knows that Yiyang belongs to Changsha County, but Changsha County's control over Yiyang is also very weak due to the influence of Wuling County.
Liu Biao stationed in Jingzhou and divided Yiyang into Changsha County.
Moreover, with his pretender Liu Pan as the governor of Changsha County, this public case was finally settled.
Yiyang is close to the river to the north, and to the northeast is the vast 800-mile Dongting. To the west and southwest, there are thousands of miles of Xuefeng Mountain as a barrier, which is the key to entering Changsha County. Once Yiyang is breached, the door of Changsha County will be wide open.
However, Yiyang is not easy to fight, not only because its terrain is not easy for large armies to conquer, but also because it is very close to Luoxian County, which makes it more difficult.
Luo County is now owned by Jiangdong.
Sun Quan ordered Taishi Ci to garrison Zhaluo County to coordinate with the Polo Yuan navy.
If Cao's army attacks Yiyang, it will inevitably alarm Jiangdong's soldiers and horses. Although Jiangdong and Liu Bei have not reached a united front, their cooperation has always been maintained. This is why it is said that attacking Yiyang is more difficult, as all aspects are involved.
Zhuge Liang was both happy and a little nervous about this...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In February of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, after a brief period of familiarity and rest, Cao Peng finally took action.
On the 13th, Cao Peng ordered Pang De to lead his headquarters to attack Yiyang. At the same time, because Du Ji led the navy to station at Dongting Lake, Cao Peng felt more confident. After Du Ji arrived at Dongting Lake, he immediately headed east
Approaching, a navy camp of thirty miles was set up a hundred miles away from Boluoyuan. The navy commander Zhou Taixu was frightened and prepared for the battle. At the same time, he contacted Taishi Ci and used Boluoyuan and Luoxian as the defense line.
, forming a defense system. Taishi Ci ordered people to cross Dongting Lake, accuse Cao Peng, and start the war lightly.
Yu Fan, courtesy name Zhongxiang, is forty-four years old.
A native of Yuyao, Kuaiji, he was the son of Yu Xin, the prefect of Rinan. He served as a meritorious officer under Wang Lang, the prefect of Kuaiji, and later returned to Sun Ce and became an official in Jiangdong.
This person was a master of Confucian classics and was proficient in the Book of Changes.
Previously, the imperial court had proposed Yu Fan as censor, but Yu Fan rejected it.
Now under Sun Quan, he holds the post of Cavalry Commander. This time he accompanied Tai Shici to Luo County to offer wine to the military advisor, and his status was quite high.
He went to Hanshou in person and accused Cao Peng.
"Now Duke Cao frequently travels to Jiangdong as envoys, but what he has done is only two peaces.
But the Commander-in-Chief has mobilized troops and horses. Could it be that he wants to start a war? If so, Jiangdong will not retreat. I ask the Commander-in-Chief to think twice."
This is also a figure who will leave his name in history.
Cao Peng sat in the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, looking up and down at this famous Jiangdong minister.
Yu Fan is a typical Jiangdong person. He is not tall, about 170 centimeters tall, but he is quite well-groomed and has an extraordinary appearance.
"Mr. Zhongxiang's words are wrong."
Cao Peng smiled and said: "Why did you ever want to conflict with Jiangdong?"
"Well?"
"This is just a routine exercise, sir, why should you panic. Sir, you should know that the Prime Minister is doing it according to heaven's will to regain Jingchu... It's just that the Jingchu navy is in chaos, so he ordered Du Bohou to station in Dongting. Since it is a navy, it is indispensable.
Some training is required. Du Bohou just entered the Dongting and did not know much about the situation here, so he set up a water fortress and did not have any ill intentions with Ziyi."
Ziyi is Taishi Ci.
What Cao Peng said was reasonable and reasonable, and Yu Fan didn't know how to accuse him.
They just trained the navy, drilled the men and horses, and became familiar with the terrain. Cao Jun did not attack the Jiangdong soldiers and horses, so this lightly started the war and provoked a conflict, so naturally there was no way to talk about it. But Yu Fan knew that Cao Peng did not
It's an excuse, but it's not enough to make him believe it.
Yu Fan pondered for a moment and said: "However, the Commander-in-Chief should know that our Jiangdong navy is stationed in Boluoyuan.
It's only a hundred miles away from the Prime Minister's water village. Our navy also needs to conduct exercises. If a conflict accidentally occurs, wouldn't it cause unnecessary trouble?"
"What do you want from me, sir?"
"This..." Yu Fan was a little embarrassed.
Could it be that he told Cao Peng, "You guys retreat... I'm afraid that would anger Cao Peng. Yu Fan was a master of Confucian classics and a famous scholar in Jiangdong. He had also learned about Cao Peng. Especially when he heard that
It is said that ten years ago Cao Peng accompanied Xun Yan as an envoy to Jiangdong, and after having contact with Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Sun Ce and others, he regretted it greatly. If he had killed Cao Peng at that time, wouldn't he have cut off Cao Cao's arm?
However, he also knew that this accusation was unreasonable.
Ten years ago, Cao Peng was just a child, unknown, and few people had even heard of his name. At that time, Cao Peng came to Jiangdong as Xun Yan's book boy. Who could have imagined that ten years later, that unknown little book boy would become
He has become a person of great concern today.
Three Mongolian articles, which made the world admire them.
Two articles made the world aware of his extraordinary character.
In the third year of Liangzhou, Ma Teng was entrusted with the title, and the Qiang and Hu surrendered. Now the northwest region has reproduced the richness of Qinchuan, which was 800 miles away, making countless people yearn for it. And the reason for this is the foundation laid by Cao Peng.
Even after Cao Ji took office, he continued Cao Peng's policies for several years, opened up trade routes in the Western Regions, and connected the Guanzhong aristocratic families. Only then did the current northwest situation exist, and Cao Cao established a stable rear.
Facing such a person, even though Yu Fan was much older, he did not dare to neglect him.
Throughout Jiangdong, 80% of academies taught Cao Peng's three Mongolian essays. Last year, Cao Peng's new book "Thirty-six Strategies" came out. Even an arrogant figure like Zhou Yu praised Cao Peng for being a master of military art at that time. Yu Fan's reputation
Although it is big, you have to be careful.
In these days, it doesn't matter if you offend officials, but if you offend celebrities, you will definitely be criticized by everyone in the world.
Even if the two sides are hostile, who dares to accuse Cao Peng easily?
Even Sun Quan praised Cao Peng endlessly and did not dare to offend him. Three Mongolian articles were enough to make scholars all over the world respect Cao Peng as "Sir".
Yu Fan complained secretly in his heart, but didn't know how to speak.
Unexpectedly, Cao Peng suddenly said: "What Mr. Zhong Xiang said is not unreasonable. Our two families are very close to each other. If there is a conflict, it will be unsightly and will affect the friendship between our two families. It's better.
In this way, I will retreat sixty miles and everyone will abide by the rules. What do you think?"
Retreat sixty miles?
What's the difference between this damn thing and not retreating!
However, they gave you enough face, making it more difficult for Yu Fan to speak.
This Dongting is originally Cao Cao's territory. But you, Jiangdong, stationed at Luoyuan and stationed in Luoxian, have already crossed the border. Sixty miles is to give you a face. If we really want to start a war, I'm afraid Jiangdong may not agree.
No one dares to bear this responsibility...
Sixty miles of face, what else do you want?
I think back then, Duke Wen of Jin made an appointment with the King of Chu and retreated only ninety miles away.
Cao Peng, these sixty miles are the land of two homes. There is no friendship between you and me. The face I give you these sixty miles is enough...
Yu Fan knew it was hard to ask for anything more.
He also knew that the so-called negotiation meant that there was still discussion.
So after pondering for a moment, Yu Fan raised his hands and said: "Fan has written down the friendship between the governor and the governor. However, it is up to Fan to make the final decision on this matter. After the translation, it will be returned to Luo County, discussed with Ziyi, and then he will reply to the governor. This time I ventured
But come here, if I have offended you, please forgive me, the Governor."
Cao Peng gave you Yu Fan face, so you Yu Fan must also have enough etiquette.
Cao Peng smiled slightly and said, "Well, I'll forgive you for sending me so far away."
"Farewell!"
Yu Fan came in a hurry and left in a hurry. After sending Yu Fan away, Cao Peng, Fazheng and Zhang Song, climbed to the top of Hanshou City.
Jiang Wan is now stationed in the north of Yuan River.
Pang Shanmin stayed in Linyuan and was responsible for assisting Lai Gong. As a famous scholar in Xiangyang and a descendant of the Pang family, one of the four major families in Jingzhou, Lai Gong treated Pang Shanmin with great respect no matter how arrogant he was. Given his background,
How can he be compared to a famous scholar in Lingling?
This gentleman is divided into three, six or nine grades.
There are county and county celebrities, such as Lai Gong and Liu Xian, who all belong to this category; there are prefecture and county celebrities, such as Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Pang Shanmin; and above the prefectures and counties, there are world celebrities, like Zhong Yao, Xun Yu, and Wei Ju,
They all belong to this category. Pangshan people are famous people from the state and county, but Lai Gong is not a famous person from the county and county, so his class is lower. With a famous person from the state and county serving him, can Lai Gong have any dissatisfaction?
Zhang Song asked: "Master, why should you give in?"
In front of people, Zhang Song and Fazheng all addressed Cao Peng as "Dadudu"; after people, including Huang Zhong and others, they called Cao Peng "gongzi". Not everyone can respect Cao Peng as "gongzi". These two words,
It is also a status symbol, representing that you belong to the Cao Peng family.
Although Wei Yan and Cao Peng were so familiar with each other, most of the time they were still addressed as the Grand Governor.
Similarly, Wang Wei wanted to call Cao Peng "gongzi", but he couldn't get his wish. The reason is very simple. Firstly, Wang Wei was Deng Ji's superior officer, and Cao Peng had a little respect for him; secondly, Wang Wei
The traces of Jingzhou were too heavy, and Cao Peng did not dare to accept Wang Wei. However, not accepting him did not mean that he did not take care of him. If distinguished according to distance, Wang Wei could only belong to the peripheral figures of Cao Peng's family.
Cao Peng smiled slightly and said, "Yongnian, my concession today is just to make great strides forward in the future."
"oh?"
"Eight hundred miles of Dongting is too small after all.
One day, I will set foot on Jiangdong, and then they will give in... Now, what we have to do is not to argue with Jiangdong, but..."
After Cao Peng said this, he suddenly laughed.
"I want to come to Lingming, I'm ready!"

At the top of Yiyang City, Liu Pan's face was as sinking as water.
In the distance, Cao's army has set up camp. Flags are fluttering, and there are many swords and guns. Although they are still far away, they can feel the murderous intention filling the sky.
"Who leads the troops?"
"Reporting to the general, the commander-in-chief of Cao's army is named Pang De."
"Pound?"
Liu Pan frowned and his eyes were cold.
"Cao Youxue, you bullied me too much!"
If Cao Peng was leading his troops, Liu Pan would probably be nervous. After all, Cao Peng's reputation is there. He has never been defeated since he was born, and he can be said to be a victorious general. Liu Pan is also a proud and arrogant master.
, most people don't take it seriously at all. Before, he had intended to have a fight with Cao Peng, but he had no chance. Now, he is stationed in Yiyang, and Cao Peng is in charge of Jingnan's military affairs. The two sides finally have a chance to meet. Liu Pan
He was gearing up to compete with Cao Peng, but who knew that an unknown person would appear instead.
It's no wonder that Pound is really a nobody now.
Perhaps he had some fame in Liangzhou in the northwest, and among Cao Jun, except for a few people, more people knew Pound because Pound gave up his career and accompanied Cao Peng to Xingyang to serve his sentence. Therefore, in Da
In the eyes of most people, Pound is a loyal hero. He may have great martial arts skills, but he is not strong enough to take on important tasks. Even when Cao Pengwai let Pound out, Le Jin had some concerns. Until the Battle of Wulin, Pound made the decision
Only through his military exploits did Le Jin understand Pound and was quite complimentary.
What are Pound's abilities?
I'm afraid even Cao Cao can't explain clearly...
Not to mention Liu Pan! He had never even heard of Pound's name, let alone had any special understanding of Pound.
How could the arrogant Liu Pan not be angry?
You, Cao Peng, sent an unknown person to capture Yiyang? You are looking down on me, Liu Pan, too much!
Just when Liu Pan was angry at Cao Peng's "rudeness", he suddenly heard long bursts of horn sounds from Cao Peng's camp outside the city. Immediately afterwards, the rumble of war drums sounded, echoing between heaven and earth. A team
Cao Cao's troops rushed out of the camp, and instantly formed a flying geese formation outside the camp. The long troops were in front, and the short troops were behind. The two groups of cavalry were free on both sides, and they were extremely arrogant.
When the drums stopped, they saw a general flying from Cao Jun's banner.
Under his crotch is a black horse riding on the snow, in his palm is a tiger-roaring sword, and his helmet is pierced through the armor.
Judging from his age, he was around thirty years old. He reined up his horse at the foot of the city and said sternly, "The rebels in the city are telling the truth. This is Pang De, the general under General Hengye. Today we are going to fight against the rebellion and conquer Changsha. If you are smart,
, open the city immediately and surrender. Otherwise, when the city is destroyed, no chickens or dogs will be left."
What a loud tone!
Liu Pan was furious: "How dare an unknown person be so arrogant?
Liu Huangshu is the emperor's crown prince, which is what the emperor himself said. The Cao thief controlled the imperial court, held the emperor's hand in order to order the princes, and committed suicide. How could he confuse right and wrong?
If dogs and thieves invade our borders today, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Someone, please help me take the head of that thief."
"I will go where I will in the end!"
Before Liu Pan finished speaking, he saw someone standing behind him.
This man's name was Gao Pei, a native of Changsha. He was originally a bandit who wreaked havoc in Xuefeng Mountain, but was later subdued by Liu Pan. He held a large ring knife in his hand, and he was very popular in Jingnan. When Liu Pan saw it, he was overjoyed.
, and immediately ordered Gao Pei to go out of the city to fight. Without saying a word, Gao Pei walked down the city, pulled up his saddle and picked up the stirrup, turned over and sat on his horse, led eight hundred soldiers, and rushed out of Yiyang County amidst the rumbling of war drums.
In Liu Pan's view, Pound was a nobody, and even if Gao Pei couldn't defeat Pound, he could still withstand him for a while.
He stood on the top of the city to watch the battle, and saw Gao Pei rushing out of the county seat on horseback.
According to the usual practice, both sides should announce their names before they fight together. Who knows, Gao Pei had just set up his formation and walked to the front of the formation. Before he could even say a word, Pound had already urged his horse to charge over. What a horse.
The snow is like an arrow flying towards Gao Pei.
Pang De sat astride the horse, leaning forward slightly. The sword in his palm seemed to be hanging weakly, but when he reached the front of the formation, he suddenly stood up. He kicked the stirrups with both feet, twisted his waist and exerted force, and the wheel sword was released.
Cut. Gao Pei was startled and quickly raised his knife to meet him. Hearing a clang sound, the Tiger Roaring Knife struck Gao Pei's large ring knife. The huge force shocked Gao Pei's arms and ears.
The sound was buzzing.
Following Gao Pei's collapse force, Pang De's body leaned back slightly, and then he leaned forward and swung his sword again.
"Serial sword!"
A roar like thunder came from his mouth, and the Tiger Roaring Knife in Pang De's hand struck out like lightning. Fight, stop the force, strike again, stop the force again... It was too late to say, but it was fast at the time. Pang De was in the blink of an eye.
Thirteen knives were struck. But in the eyes of others, it was just like one knives.
A sword is as fast as a sword, and a sword is as strong as a sword.
The swords and knives are connected and the strength is the same. Pang De has no intention of entangling with the guy in front of him for too long, and decides to fight quickly. He also knows that his reputation is not obvious, although he is one of the Eight Schools of Jingnan due to the reputation of Cao Peng's confidant.
First, there were many people in Cao's army who were not convinced.
Many people think that Pang De was able to reach the position of the Eighth School of Jingnan only because of Cao Peng's trust.
However, Cao Peng was the commander-in-chief of the war in Jingnan, and was also the highest military commander in Jingnan. He would not discuss with anyone who he wanted to use, and he also had the capital to monopolize power. Even Xun Yu did not ask, who would
Can you ask Cao Cao? He dared to appoint Cao Peng, who was only 26 years old, to take sole charge of the military and political power in Jingnan. He had already expressed his attitude. In such a situation, even if some people are dissatisfied, they can only hold it in.
"I just want to use Pound, I'm not familiar with the others!"
Cao Peng made no secret and directly stated the reason.
This was also his support for Pound! Although no one in the army made irresponsible remarks, it cannot be denied that many people were dissatisfied.
Pang De was also very aware of this situation...but the more this happened, the more he had to show enough ability to prove Cao Peng's words.
Thirteen swords converged into one, and Gao Pei screamed in agony, and was split in half by Pang De's sword.
The ownerless war horse dragged half of the corpse away into the wasteland. Pang De circled the horse and pointed his sword at the city wall, "The traitor Liu Pan, how dare you fight a certain one!"
On the city of Yiyang, Liu Pan's face was as sinking as water...
