Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 636 Immortal Lu makes a move, either destroying the group or stealing the house!
Because of the wars in the early years, the Runan area has become a lot of decline.

First there was the outbreak of the Yellow Turban, then there was Yuan Shu, and then there was Liu Bi Gongdu. In the past few years, there was basically no war, which caused a serious loss of population in Runan.

When Runan County was first captured from Liu Bigongdu, Xun Yu even had to migrate the population from Nanyang to fill Runan, which shows how difficult the situation in Runan County was before.

However, after vigorous support and construction in recent years, Runan County has regained some of its past population and economic demeanor.But the good days have not passed a few days, and now they are invaded by the Jiangdong and Jingzhou armies.

Pingyu is a large county. After years of unremitting construction by Man Chong, the city wall, which was originally high and deep, has become stronger and more reliable now.

Moreover, there are sufficient food and grass reserves in the city, and the defense of the city is also very rich in supplies. This is where Man Chong has the confidence to stick to it.

At the end of May in the ninth year of Jian'an.

The army led by Wei Yan, Jia Xu, Zhang Yun and others had forced Pang Tong's army back to Danshui.

But when Pang Tong retreated to the front line of Danshui, maybe because of the help of the navy, the defense line of the army he led seemed to be in danger and would be breached at any time, but often just when it was about to be breached, it would suddenly become tough again. , and repelled Cao Jun.

This kind of situation happened several times. Although Jia Xu felt strange, but because there were too few sources of information, he couldn't guess Pang Tong's real intention.

Pang Tong, Sun Quan and Cao Jun remained in a stalemate until June.

Except for the Danshui [-]st Road of the Jingzhou Army, and the Hefei [-]st Road of the Jiangdong Army, there is still no movement in other places.

This made Cao Cao and others unavoidably suspicious. After all, the Jingzhou and Jiangdong armies were mobilizing so many troops that it was impossible for them to be willing to spend so much time with Cao's army.

Sure enough, in mid-June, a messenger sent by Xuchang to Runan escaped the siege of Liu Pan and Huo Jun's scouts by chance, and sent Cao Cao the news that there were enemy troops in Runan.

Only then did Cao Cao and the court ministers realize that Runan County was being abused by the enemy right under their noses.

Cao Cao's face was gloomy. He took more news sent back by scouts, and seemed to be talking to himself: "Ming repaired the plank road, secretly crossing the Chencang 10,000+ army has quietly seized the control of Runan County. The designer of this plan may What audacity!"

Cao Cao was right. Pang Tong and Zhou Yu were both bold and calculating.

When everyone's eyes were drawn to Wancheng, Xinye, Lujiang, and Hefei, they did not expect that the enemy had sneaked into Runan and ambushed beside them.

Everyone was intimidated by Cao Cao's aura and dared not speak, but Lao Cao continued, "When did I, Cao Cao, be bullied by the enemy like this?"

Seeing Cao Cao lose his temper, Xun Yu, as his chief steward and encourager, had no choice but to stand up to appease Cao Cao's emotions.

"Report to the lord!" Xun Yu said with a trace of solemnity in his eyes, "The enemy is close at hand, our top priority should be to immediately send troops to rescue Runan."

At this moment, Dong Zhao stood up suddenly and said, "My lord! There is no surplus army in Xuchang, and there is a high probability that Runan has fallen. Instead of sending a large army to rescue, it is better to use limited troops to defend Xuchang."

Before Dong Zhao finished speaking, Xun You stood up again and said, "My lord, according to my subordinates, Runan County may not have completely fallen yet."

Before Xun You could finish speaking, another person jumped out to object and asked, "What evidence do you have to prove that Runan is still in our hands?"

"That's right! If Runan is already under the control of the enemy, and an ambush is set up in advance, wouldn't the army going to support it be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?!"

"That's right, it's better to leave the army to guard Xu Chang and the emperor!"

Cao Cao looked around and listened to the words of support from the various opposition troops of the group of ministers, and sneered in his heart: "They are all a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Seeing that Lao Cao's expression was a little off, someone suddenly stood up and said, "Lu Hussar is in Chenliu County, why don't you send someone to invite him to send troops?"

"That's right! We still have Lu Hussars! Even if Xuchang is besieged, if Lu Hussars leads the army to come, we can save the day!"

Hearing what these guys said, the sneer on Cao Cao's face couldn't help but intensified, "Hmph! You usually only hear bad things about Lu Yan behind your back, but now you're in danger and think about him instead. Smell shameless!"

But after all, those who can stand here are all important officials of the court, so it is naturally difficult for Cao Cao to speak his mind in front of everyone.

"Everyone, don't worry, I have sent someone to deliver a letter to Lu Hussar. I believe that Lu Hussar's army will come to Xuchang in a short time."

"Ah! This is great!" Hearing that Lu Yan's army would arrive soon, the group of ministers couldn't help but get excited.

"With Lu Hussars coming to help, no matter what monsters and monsters, all have to retreat!"

But different from the extremely excited emotions of these ministers, Xun You and Xun Yu still looked solemn because Lu Yan didn't have many troops at his disposal!

Tai Shici's Beiwei army, as well as Guan Yu's and Zhang Fei's armies are all fighting in the north, and Dianwei's Tiefutu people, not to mention, are still helping Tian Chou in Youzhou.

Most of the soldiers of the Wolf Cavalry Battalion, together with most of the infantry and archers of Chen Liu's garrison, had been transferred to Ma Chao and Xu Shu to rescue Xiliang.

So looking at what Lu Yan can still use now, it seems that there are only [-] cavalry from the Dragon Cavalry Battalion, and the navy that is not yet in the army and is not favored by others.

[-] cavalry is actually not a weak force, but there are more than [-] people on the opposite side.

The difference in strength alone is nearly ten times, not to mention that a single branch is completely at a disadvantage when facing a fully equipped army.

When Lu Yan received the sixth urgent secret letter, he finally walked out of the cement factory.

Lu Yan, whose body and face were all gray, took the secret letter from the shadow guard and quickly read it.

After Lu Yan read it, the shadow guard who sent the letter said to Lu Yan respectfully: "Sir, Guo Jijiu also asked me to bring you a message, saying that a 10,000+ army from Jiangdong Jingzhou has besieged Pingyu City for more than a month. If you don’t take action, Changsheng, I’m afraid Man Boning’s body will have to be collected. I’m not concerned about him, but about the situation in Runan.”

"Tch! Tsundere!" Lu Yan's mouth curled up slightly, and he said to himself, "It seems that Guo Fengxiao and Man Boning also have feelings for each other."

"Well, not bad! Bo Ning really lived up to my high expectations!" After hearing what Guo Jialing told the shadow guard, Lu Yan not only didn't panic, but even smiled with great comfort.

The corner of Yingwei's mouth twitched slightly, and he said in his heart: "Mr. Lu is really calm, and he can still laugh."

"The city of Pingyu is high and deep, with plenty of supplies; plus Bo Ning is calm and calm, and is very good at defending the city. Not to mention Zhou Yu's [-] troops, even if Sun Quan's [-] troops come, I'm afraid they won't be seen in two or three months. We must be able to break through the city guarded by Berning!"

The shadow guard raised his head slightly and took a peek at Lu Yan.

Seeing that Lu Yan was really not joking, he was shocked and thought: "Mr. is so optimistic about Man Boning?! Could it be that Xu Changling, who has kept a low profile for many years, is actually a military genius?"

But after thinking about it, Man Chong had stayed by Lu Yan's side for a long time, so Lu Yan naturally knew him very well.

Seeing that Lu Yan was so confident, the shadow guard felt more at ease.

But he remembered the purpose of his trip, so he bowed and asked, "Dare to ask, sir, how should I reply to Guo Jijiu and the prime minister?"

"emmmm" Lu Yan pondered for a moment, and finally made a decision, "Reply to Lao Cao and Lao Guo, just say that I will personally lead the navy to copy the lairs of Jingzhou and Jiangdong!"

"???"
