The Three Kingdoms began with the rescue of Mrs. Mi

Chapter 350 Lu Xun wins, Cao Xiu loses
Cao Xiu was blocked by Lu Xun in the Jiashi area. He was blocked by the enemy in front and pursued in the rear. He was very worried.

"Great Sima, the last general... Even if the last general gives up his life, he will fight his way out." Sun Li got the news that Lu Xun was intercepting him, hurried to Cao Xiu, hissing for orders.

Sun Li is a native of Youzhou, he can fight tigers with his bare hands, he is very brave, even in difficult situations, he is not discouraged.

"Deda, you are exhausted, and you still have the strength to fight again?" Cao Xiu glanced at his friend Sun Li in disappointment, and sighed.

Sun Li straightened his armor, clasped his hands together and said, "Grand Sima, although Wu general Lu Xun is good at strategy, he is not good at fighting bravely. If we encounter this encounter, if we fight to the death, we may not be able to break through."

"Deda, I will transfer the central army to you. Let's fight northwest. As for whether we can rush out, it depends on God's will." After Sun Li said this, Cao Xiu finally returned to his normal mood.

In terms of the ability to lead troops in battle, Cao Xiu is not without strategy. He performed quite well in the battle against Ma Chao and Liu Feng in Longyou. Otherwise, he would not have been reused by Cao Pi.

Sun Li won Cao Xiu's elite soldiers, and immediately raised his courage to fight with Lu Xun's army. The so-called trapped beasts were still fighting. step back.

Lu Xun's commanding ability is outstanding, and he can't do it alone, and he can only rely on the dangerous roads of the passes to stop him.When Cao Xiu and Sun Li were fighting for their lives, another Wei army suddenly entered the battle group.

It turned out that Jia Kui, the governor of Yuzhou, and the former general Man Chong, led the army to kill him. According to the normal schedule, Jia Kui should be in the Dongguan area, more than [-] miles away from Jiashi.

But after discussing with Man Chong, Jia Kui believed that Cao Xiu was in danger and had to be rescued immediately, so he traveled day and night to Jiashi. The appearance of his army immediately helped Cao Xiu break the siege of Shiting.

Cao Xiu was rescued by Jia Kui, and finally came back with his life. However, this time, the [-] troops marched south, and finally returned with lost troops, and Cao Xiu felt quite embarrassed.

Who is responsible for the failure?
Is he the one who believed that Wu general Zhou Bing feigned surrender?
Is he the one who commanded the battle and underestimated the enemy?

Cao Xiu was used to being arrogant and arrogant. In a moment of anger, he finally got angry at Jia Kui and Man Chong, accusing them of not coping well. Can annihilate Lu Xun in the Shiting area in one fell swoop.

Jia Kui and Man Chong came to the rescue after untold hardships, but Cao Xiu complained when they failed, and they couldn't help feeling angry.It's just that the official positions of the two are not as good as Cao Xiu, and the relationship with Cao Rui is not as good as Cao Xiu, so they can only bow their heads and lead the order to collect and discard the staff for Cao Xiu.

During the battle between Wei and Wu, Cao Xiu lost nearly [-] soldiers, went south excitedly, and returned dejectedly. His already ailing body couldn't hold on anymore. After returning to Hefei, he couldn't afford to get sick.

-

After Wu Jun's disastrous defeat in Xiaoyaojin, he achieved an extremely rare victory.

After washing away the shame of Hefei, Sun Quan was even more excited. With this big victory, he was at the bottom of the list, and he, Emperor Wu, became even more justified.

Since then, Sun Quan was finally able to get rid of the insulting title of King Wu of the Great Wei, and as the founding emperor of the Wu Kingdom, he issued an edict to his officials and generals.

"Hahaha, Boyan, Xiumu, and Zihuang have made great contributions, and I will reward them heavily." Sun Quan was very satisfied with the three generals of the Wu army, Lu Xun, Zhu Huan, and Quan Cong. Grace is added.

For example, Lu Xun's younger brother, Lu Hao, was selected by Sun Quan as Cao Shangshu. Quan Cong was even different. Sun Quan directly married his daughter, Sun Luban, to him.

Up and down the state of Wu, due to the great victory at Shiting, the country's power is growing day by day. Even Lu Dai, Han Dang, and Han Zong stationed in Jiaozhou have high morale. Hui was forced to the westernmost Jiaozhi County, and further south was Jiuzhen and Rinan, which were the territory of later Vietnam.

Shi Hui had no choice but to send his brother Shi Gan to Nanzhong to seek help from Ma Zhong and Zhang Ni. Ma Zhong had received Liu Feng's order before and knew that under the alliance of Han and Wu, the Han army would obviously fail to send troops, so he A part of the Qingqiang soldiers from Zhang Yiwudangfei's army went out of Nanzhong, under the banner of the Qiang tribes, and went to the Jiaozhi area to wait for opportunities.

At this time, Zhang Ni's reputation was not yet obvious, and Lu Dai and Han Dang didn't care who the enemy was. As soon as the two armies met, Wu Jun suffered a big loss. After several defeats, Wu Jun withdrew from Jiaozhi territory, Shi Hui was barely Saved the last piece of land.

The news of Wei defeating Wu Sheng spread to Jingzhou, and Liu Feng, who was patrolling the northern line, ordered Chen Dao and Xing Dao Rongjun to return to Nanjun and disengage from Wenpin's army.

With Wen Qin's statement, the partial battle in Jiangxia County was just a play, and Jia Kui and the Manchong Ministry are about to return. Cao Wei's strategy is about to be exposed.

After stabilizing the situation in Jiangxia County, Liu Feng immediately discussed with Guan Ping, Xu Shu, Wang Yi and others to prepare and train a new army, and sent troops from Jingzhou to support Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition.

Based on his judgment of Zhuge Liang, after learning of the Wu army's victory, Zhuge Liang's pace of the Northern Expedition will be further accelerated, and the time for the Han army to leave Longyou should be this spring.

Liu Feng's Jingzhou army attacked Wei. Apart from Wenpin's Jiangxia County salient, there were two options: north or northwest.

Advancing directly to the north along the line of Fancheng, Xinye, and Wancheng is the route of Guan Yu's Northern Expedition. If he can advance his troops along this route, it will not only save the loss of transportation, but also save the time of marching. Naturally, it is the most ideal result. .

The three east counties in the northwest, the Shangyong and Fangling lines, are the ideal routes that Liu Feng can choose at present.

The three eastern counties were originally his defense area, but he gave up on his own initiative after he was transferred to Jingzhou. If he can regain the three counties this time, it will also be of great help to boost the morale of the Han army.

More importantly, the three eastern counties are the hub of the northern line connecting Hanzhong and Jingzhou, and the bridgehead for the Shu Han to march to Guanzhong.Once the three eastern counties fall into the hands of the Shu Han, the Han army can send troops from the front line of Wuguan Road to directly threaten Cao Wei's Guanzhong Chang'an area.

If Wuguan Road is blocked, Wei Yan's strategy of surprise attack in Ziwu Valley can also be used. The key is to be prepared in advance, and not rush into battle like Cao Shuang.

Liu Feng's idea of ​​taking over the three counties first and then fighting Longyou also received strong support from Guan Pingping and other Jingzhou generals.

Guan Ping was stationed in Jingzhou for a long time, and he had a real feeling of the situation in Nanjun and Nanyang counties.

By recovering the three counties, the Xiangyang Han army can change from passive to active, and once again send troops to harass Wei's Xinye and Wancheng areas.

This is a grand strategy related to the survival of Xiangyang and even Jingzhou. Compared with Jingzhou, Longyou's importance is not the same.
