The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Popular recommendation:

The turning point was two teams of personal soldiers under the tent of Xun Zhen.

Or to be more precise, these two groups of personal soldiers were ordered by Xun Zhen to **** the four or five prisoners of Wenpin and Yujin.

Two of the four or five captives were the guards of Jixian and Yexian counties, respectively. The remaining few were the magistrates of Jixian County set up by Yuan Shu, and the other two were the monasteries of Jixian County and Yexian County. The local scholar of the official.

- Jixian and Yexian are both in the south of Luyang County. The county seat of Jixian County is more than 40 miles away from Luyang County, and the county seat of Yexian County is more than 40 miles away from the county seat of Jixian County. Nanyang County is the largest county in the world, with a total of 37 counties. There are seven counties in the area bordering the two counties of Yingchuan and Runan in the north and northeast of the county. Among them, the three counties bordering Yingchuan County are Luyang, Ji, and Ye.

This time to attack Nanyang County, Xun Zhen divided the whole battle process into two steps.

The first step is the early battle, the goal is to capture Luyang and other counties; the second step is the later battle, the main attack is Wan County.

At this stage of the early battle, Xun Zhen divided Luyang and other counties into two war zones. The four counties bordering Runan County were removed from Fuyang County, which was located most down and located in the Tongbai Mountains. The three counties of Duyang, Wuyin, and Biyang were attacked by Sun Ce; and the three counties of Luyang, Ji, and Ye, bordering Yingchuan County, were attacked by his troops.

It was the original Wenpin and Yu Jin, who had not yet captured Lu Yang, but Taishi Ci and Yang Feng had already conquered the two counties of Ji and Ye.

These prisoners were captured by Taishi Ci and Yang Feng.

After Xun Zhen got Taishi Ci and Yang Feng to present these prisoners to him, he ordered them to be sent to Wenpin and Yu Jin.

Along with the captives, there was a letter written by Xun Zhen.

After picking up the two groups of Xun Zhen's personal soldiers into the camp, after seeing the prisoners, he returned to the tent, and Wen Ping opened Xun Zhen's book, and read the book: "Jian, Ye has already gone; He surrendered, and he was very scolding. He killed him for Xu Huang, and the rest were all prisoners. Now I will send these prisoners to Qing and others. I have received the previous report from Qing and others. Qing and others have pulled out the camp outside Luyang City. It is already low, and after taking this number of prisoners, you can show it to the city to look at it. Although Yang Hong and Ji Ling are good at guarding, their soldiers will be afraid. Then they will know the inside of the city, and they will all be slaughtered. ."

Wen Pin respectfully read Xun Zhen's letter, and motioned to the servant to show it to Han Ji.

Han Ji also read it, looked up and saw Wen Ping gloomy, and said, "Once you have these prisoners sent by the chariots, and then follow the orders of the chariots, the order of 'slaughter those who descend after them' will be introduced into the city. Luyang County will surely be conquered! But victory is in sight, why is the Colonel unhappy?"

"The cavalry pioneer sent a stone chariot to my unit, and instructed my unit to attack the city with fire, but Wen Ze and I could not take the city! Now both Ji and Ye have been conquered, but Luyang has not yet descended, so we have to Lao Chaqi once again assists me and Wen Ze, ... Mr. Han, I am deeply ashamed!"

Han Ji Fuxu smiled and said: "In the northern counties of Nanyang, Luyang is the most important town, and it has Yang Hong reinforcements, so it is reasonable to be difficult. In the book of chariots, it is not and has nothing to do with the school captain and Yu Duwei. Words of reproach? Why is the captain like this!"

After being comforted by Han Ji, Wen Pin's mood did not improve because of this, and he said: "Han Gong! I am ashamed, not only pity my face, I am ashamed, I can't pull out the city and destroy the thieves for the lord. I'm worried! I've lost the distinction between ministers and subordinates!"

"Yu Wen is determined to become famous, and Wen Zhongye is sincere and loyal to the Lord. These two generals are outstanding people! The chariots really know how to make good use of them." Han Ji thought in this way, and smiled and Wenpin said again, "Zhongye, Jun Really loyal minister! Now that these prisoners are found, they are like chariots and riders. If you see them in the city, you will be horrified. You can imagine that Kecheng will be in a day or two! Don't sigh any more, you and I should cheer up and ride together for the chariots. The thief is!"

Wen Pin temporarily suppressed his humiliation, but he recovered his spirits and stood up according to the case, answering: "Okay! Tomorrow, I will call the city to see the prisoners. After the morale in the city has been completely destroyed, the day after tomorrow, I will personally supervise the entire army. Attack the city! This time, I will attack day and night, and I will take this city for the sake of chariots and horses!"

…

The next day, Wen's order took all the prisoners out of the camp and escorted them outside the east wall of Luyang County.

Then, more than a hundred soldiers with loud voices shouted into the city in unison: "Jian and Ye have already attacked the king's division! The guards of the two counties and the county magistrate have all been captured, and they are all here! You can come and see them in the city. The false festival Yue, the general of the chariot and the cavalry, and the Duke of Lu Shangshu Shi Xun ordered: 'All those who descended later will be slaughtered!' It is known in the church city: If you want to survive, you can quickly sacrifice the city. In addition, our army's reinforcements are 10,000, and they will arrive in three or two days!

"Ten thousand reinforcements will arrive in three or two days." This is not a lie.

Last night, the officers who escorted the captives told Wen Pin and Han Ji that Xun Zhen had already handed down a military order to Yang Feng, telling his troops to rest for two days before coming to Luyang to help in the battle. Of course, as for the "ten thousand people", this is It's a lie, Yang Fengbu now has only more than 2,000 people.

When Yang Hong and Ji Ling heard the news, they rushed to the head of Dongcheng, looked at them from a distance, and recognized that the few prisoners under the city were really the guards of Ji County and Ye County, and the magistrate of Ji County.

While watching, I heard the more than one hundred loud-voiced soldiers of the Civil Service Department shouting: "These two, one is the chief clerk of Jixian County, whose name is Cheng Zhong, and the other is Yexian Wuguanjue, whose name is Li Ding, the scholars and people in the city. They should know these two people! The two of them told you in the city that they knew: after Master Wang and Ye Wei recovered, Wang Shiqiu did not commit any crimes, and the people lived in peace. If the literati and people in the city put things right, those who present to the city's king and teacher will be rewarded heavily!"

Cheng Zhong and Li Ding belong to the Hao surnames of Ji and Ye counties respectively. Both of them are in famous counties. Luyang is very close to these counties. The scholars and people in Luyang County are indeed not only scholars but commoners. There are also people like Qingxia who have heard the names of the two of them, or even know each other.

Ji Ling clearly saw that many of the civilians on the city wall shrank their heads and looked down the city.

He looked terrified and said, "Changshi, what can we do?"

There are two lines of defense in Nanyang County against Yingchuan County's northern offensive. The first line consists of the three counties of Luyang, Ji, and Ye. After that, Bowang and other counties are the second line of defense, and then the county seat of Wanxian. The two counties of Ji and Ye have now been lost, which means that the first line of defense is only Luyang county.

At this time, many soldiers and civilians gathered on the east city wall. Yang Hong did not answer Ji Ling, but turned and walked towards the other side of the city wall.

Ji Ling followed closely.

The two entered a shack under a crenel on the opposite city wall, leaving their personal soldiers on guard outside, not allowing anyone to wait.

The two sat down in the shed and discussed relative to each other.

This shack is for the defending soldiers to rest when the enemy is not attacking the city. The squat did not say anything, and because it has been connected for many days, I do not know how many soldiers have rested here. Banban, but at the moment, the two of them can't care about this.

Ji Ling repeated what he had just said, and said, "Changshi, Ji and Ye are all lost, how can this Lu Yang be guarded?" After a pause, he said, "Changshi! How come I haven't seen General Zuo until now?" Reinforcement? Could it be that General Zuo did not send reinforcements?"

Yang Hong was also puzzled by this.

A few days ago, he was ordered by Yuan Shu to help Luyang. The day after he left Wan County, he got news on the way that Wuguan was seized by Liu Bei and his troops, and Yuan Shu obviously could no longer enter Chang'an. , then since he can no longer enter Chang'an from the west, the only policy is to stick to Nanyang, and if he sticks to Nanyang, then Yuan Shu's importance of Luyang County, no matter how faint he is, it is impossible for him to not know.

Even if Nanyang is the largest county in the world, it is still only a county with a limited area. Among the distances of two hundred li, the distance from Lu Yang to Bowang accounted for most of the distance, about 134 li. That is to say, once Lu Yang was lost, Xun Zhen's troops would reach Bowang. After looking forward, there are only forty or fifty miles away from the county seat of Wanxian County. How much will this affect the defenders of Wanxian County? Not to mention, this time Nanyang was attacked by not only Xun Zhen's troops from the north, but also Liu Biao's troops from the south! The enemy is attacking from two sides, and the enemy's front has reached dozens of miles away. At that time, I am afraid that the entire city of Wan County will be in turmoil. How can the city be defended?

In terms of emotion and reason, in any case, for Luyang County, it should be

It's all about defending, so why haven't Yuan Shu's reinforcements been seen yet?

Yang Hong raised his face subconsciously and looked outside the shack. Through the low triangular doorway of the shack, he saw a narrow corner of the sky, and he murmured: "Could it be that the reinforcements sent by General Zuo were ridden halfway by a chariot. The department was stopped?"

Ji Ling said, "Are you saying that the chariots hit Lu Yang on this side, and take a detour to the back of Lu Yang on the other side?"

Yang Hong said nothing.

Ji Ling thought about it for a while, then said with worry, "Changshi, whether or not General Zuo's reinforcements were intercepted by the troops of the chariots and cavalry, and since Ji and Ye were lost, I, Luyang, have become an isolated city! You and I have been defending the city for nearly ten years. Today, there are no reinforcements outside, and now the army is panicking, the people's hearts are in chaos, long history, this city can't be defended! In my opinion, you and I should immediately abandon the city and retreat south! Otherwise, wait until reinforcements from chariots and cavalry arrive. When it arrives, not only Lu Yang will fall, but you and I will also lose our lives."

Yang Hong was silent.

Ji Ling waited for a while, but didn't see him speak, so he didn't wait any longer. He wanted to get up and go out, but the shack was too narrow to stand up. Looking at Yang Hong, he said, "Changshi, if you still want to defend the city, you will take care of this city! But I will lead my headquarters to abandon the city and retreat to the south tomorrow night!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.

Yang Hong stopped him and said, "General, wait."

"how?"

Yang Hong said, "It's okay!" After speaking here, he paused for a while, and was very unwilling, but he really had no other choice, so he sighed helplessly, and said, "I will leave the city and go south tonight."

Ji Ling said, "Abandon the city tonight?"

Ji Ling just said that he decided to abandon the city tomorrow night and withdraw to the south. Why did Yang Hong say that he would abandon the city tonight? Ji Ling suspected that Yang Hong was wrong.

Yang Hong said: "General Shi said to go south tomorrow night...General, if you leave tomorrow night, I'm afraid it will be too late. Tomorrow, Wenpin and Yu Jin will definitely attack our city. Stop attacking. Only by walking tonight will it be possible."

…

Wen Pin did not expect that Yang Hong would choose to abandon the city and leave tonight.

The front is still stubbornly resisting, UU reading www.uukanshu. com would immediately abandon the city on the same day, which was a decisive decision.

Therefore, Wenpin did not take any precautions that night, and only got the news around the fourth watch.

Wen Pin's sleepiness disappeared, and he got up quickly, waiting for the official to inform Yu Jin, then remembered that Yu Jin was still injured, so he stopped the thought, just notified Han Ji, and then started to ride more than a thousand, personally led, Out of camp to pursue.

However, the night was dark. It happened to be thick clouds covering the moon, and the vision was not good. Rao was a native of Nanyang, and he was not unfamiliar with the road. It was just a horse. After defeating this soldier, Yang Hong and Ji Ling had already led their troops to flee far away when they pursued them, and they were no longer able to catch up. Wen Pin also had no choice but to return to the camp in annoyance.

Back in the camp, Wen Pin and Han Ji came to the forbidden tent.

Wen Pin told Yu Jin that Yang Hong and Ji Ling led their men to escape, and said: "I chased until dawn, only caught up with their rear troops, and captured about two or three hundred, the main force of which was actually given to them by them. escaped!"

Yu Jin was lying on the couch, even though he was injured, he couldn't make a big move, but he couldn't help but feel a pity.

Han Ji sighed and said: "Yang Hong and Ji Ling are really decisive! A few days ago, they were still stubbornly resisting, but after showing them the prisoners of Ji and Ye, they abandoned the city and fled last night, and so on. The decision is very scholarly."

Now is not the time to sigh, since there are no troops stationed in the city, Wen Ping sent his troops into the city, and at the same time, reported the victory to Xun Zhen.

And on this afternoon, a soldier came from the south.

Wenpin and others have not yet entered the city and are still in the camp.

Hearing the urgent report, Wenpin hurriedly called the generals in the camp to prepare for the battle.
