Xiaoguangong

Chapter 196 I'm Sorry (Add 2830 for the sake of it)

Just when Cao Cao was preparing to attack Zhang Lu, an unexpected little thing happened——Lei Xu, the former general of Yuan Shu who had been recruited by Liu Fu before, suddenly lost his nerve without anyone responding. Start a rebellion.

Although Lei Xu's generals were a mob, there were tens of thousands of them. If these people had followed Sun Quan when Sun Quan attacked Hefei, at least Sun Quan would not be scared away by Jiang Ji's letter.

But they didn't surrender to the enemy at that time, but this time they suddenly rebelled, and they couldn't fix Cao Cao in an instant.

He hurriedly ordered Xiahouyuan's troops, who were already preparing to advance to Guanzhong, to lead their troops southward and start fighting with Lei Xu and others.

It was too much effort for Xia Houyuan to figure out how many bandits there were in the south, and the battle in Guanzhong was about to start, so why bother to be drawn too much energy by these rebels.

After thinking about it again and again, he asked Cao Cao to send Zhang Liao, the general of the gangsters, as his first part to fight. Zang Ba, the governor of Xuzhou, also led his army to cut off Sun Quan's possible support, in order to completely defeat Lei Xu.

The reason for Lei Xu's rebellion is also very funny.

He, Chen Lan and the others used to make a living here by plundering and doing business without money.

But before Cao Cao asked to relocate the people to the north, all the people frightened and fled to Sun Quan one after another. Now that Lei Xu, Chen Lan and others were unable to plunder, the more they thought about it, the more angry they became, and they directly led the army to beat Cao Jun to vent their anger.

These people have no fighting concept, and their subordinates are a group of miscellaneous soldiers who can only bully others. I heard that Xia Houyuan, Zhang Liao, and Zang Ba came together to clean up themselves and collapsed on the spot.

Chen Lan had a solid heart, and when she saw the enemy army approaching, she fled directly to Tianzhu Mountain.

Lei Xu was not stupid, he fought and retreated, and asked Sun Quan for help. Sun Quan, who had just delivered Zhou Yu's funeral, seized the opportunity and immediately ordered Lu Su to lead the army northward, cross the river and defeated Cao's army in Wan County, and successfully gained a foothold in Jiangbei.

Zhang Liao, who was attacking Chen Lan, did not have many men. He heard that the Wu army had arrived in Wan County, and tried to attack it while the Wu army was not stable. However, Han Dang and others fought bravely and had a large number of soldiers. The left and right assaults did not take advantage, so they had to ask Zang Ba for help, which blocked Han Dang's attack.

After a month of fierce fighting, the powerful Zang Ba withstood the siege of a powerful enemy, and Zhang Liao also took the opportunity to kill Chen Lan, but Cao's army was still insufficient in strength and could not retake Wan County, so that Wu's army could calmly gather in Jiangbei.

This made Sun Quan overjoyed, and finally decided that Guan Ping's news was true.

Ok.

Sure enough, Cao Jun was short of troops, and he could only send some troops to garrison the Huaihe River. Even Zang Ba from Xuzhou was transferred here.

After the war, Cao Jun didn't even have time to clean up the four fields, but simply moved the people, and ordered General Zhang Liao, General Li Dian, and others to lead [-] troops to Hefei, counting it as the last defense in the Lianghuai area.

7000 people...

Hearing about the soldiers and horses, Wu Jun's generals showed sympathetic smiles on their faces.

It's really tragic.

Cao Jun really has no one to use now, and he actually expects 7000 people to defend the two Huaihe Rivers.

Once he breaks through Hefei, all that is left is the defenders with less than [-] Shouchun, but Xuzhou Zang Ba and others.

Zang Ba and others are not Cao Cao's hardcore, as long as Hefei is breached, Sun Quan can reward Zang Ba heavily and let Zang Ba join him.

"Hmph, I thought the old thief would increase reinforcements in Lianghuai after Lei Xu and Chen Lan's disturbance, but I didn't expect...he still didn't learn his lesson." Sun Quan said leisurely, "Okay, then I will give the old thief some face. .”

Everyone in Sun Quan's army understood.

They had just obtained a large number of people from Lianghuai and it was the autumn harvest time. Sun Quan was going to go back and spread the word about the construction of Ruxuwu and Pingshanyue.

The last time Sun Quan had less than 2 people in his hands, he fell short in the end and was scared away. This time Sun Quan learned his lesson and ordered everyone to do a good job in the autumn harvest. When the autumn harvest is over, Cao Cao's western expedition must have begun.

"I want an army of [-]!" The young Jiangdong lord's eyes were full of enthusiasm, "Bring more officials, I will occupy this place immediately after I have wiped out the Lianghuai River and surrendered Zang Ba."

Liu Bei has not even touched the border of Yizhou, and I, Sun Quan, are about to enter the Central Plains. The names of Zhang Liao and Li Dian were mentioned in the previous book. It seems that my fate was only when they were there. arrive.

Then I will...

You are welcome.

·
Guan Ping was really startled when he heard that Lei Xu and others had started an incident in Lianghuai.

It's not the first day these people have been in Lujiang. When Sun Quan attacked Hefei, they didn't make trouble, and when Sun Quan left, they rebelled impromptuly. deploy.

Fortunately, Cao Jun's performance in this battle was very average.

Although they chopped off Chen Lan's head, Lei Xu's tens of thousands of people retreated in an organized way. When a large number of Cao Jun came out of Tianzhu Mountain, they looked dazed, completely unaware of what happened.

You must know that the best way to supply a large army is to replenish the army rations from the local area. However, the people in the past preferred to go to Sun Quan's place because they were afraid of Cao Cao's relocation policy. As a result, the local bandits were starving to death.

It must be too late to sow seeds this year, and the two Huaihe Rivers cannot afford to support a large army. As a result, although Zhang Liao and Li Dian won a complete victory, they can only retreat to Hefei pitifully with 7000 people and squat on the spot.

What makes Cao Jun even more desperate is that most of their troops have been mobilized to Guanzhong for the expedition. The food, grass and ordnance have all passed away, and a large number of civilians have been mobilized. Let's not talk about the morale of the army, just the loss of this time and again probably broke Cao Jun.

In desperation, Cao Cao could only temporarily order Shouchun to add [-] troops, and at the same time ordered Zang Ba to support him at any time after the autumn harvest.

All the generals of Cao Jun believed that Hefei would definitely not be able to defend, and they could only count on Zhang Liao to hold on for a while, so that Cao Jun could redeploy in Shouchun and stop Sun Quan's attack in the direction of Shouchun.

That being the case, the battle in Guanzhong is even more important. In order to ensure full success, Cao Cao personally wrote a letter to Yunshan.

In the letter, Cao Cao praised Yunshan's previous contributions and contributions, and expressed his condolences to Yunshan for the loss of Nanjun, and encouraged Yunshan to make further contributions.

In the end, Cao Cao changed the subject and assigned an important task to Yunshan—to lead the water army and march westward along the Han River. Cao Cao personally led the army to attack Yangping Pass, and the two sides attacked. Zhang Lu must let Zhang Lu take care of one and lose the other, and help Cao Jun Take Hanzhong as quickly as possible.

In order to achieve this strategic goal, Cao Cao spent a lot of money.

He provided Guan Ping with a large amount of copper, cloth, and grain, so that Guan Ping could reward the craftsmen who built the ships and the soldiers who raided Hanzhong.

Guan Ping's offensive in the upper reaches of the Han River was fought alone, and Guan Ping himself controlled all of Cao's current naval forces. Naturally, Cao Cao should not be stingy with rewards to avoid accidents.

After receiving so many rewards, Guan Ping immediately showed a righteous look on his face.

"It's fine for the prime minister to reward my subordinate Erlang, why do you want to give me so many rewards? Could it be that I, Yunshan, would not fight hard without rewards?

Shu Da, all these things will be handed over to you, and you will reward the soldiers separately, there must be no mistake. "

Sima Fu's eyes sparkled, he nodded quickly and said:

"General Yun is indeed righteous, just like Marquis Ping of the past. During this expedition of thousands of miles, the prime minister handed over the army to the general, so he chose the right man."

With Sima Fu's way of management, these things will definitely be of greater value in his hands. He and Guan Ping have cooperated for a long time, and this tacit understanding has long been needless to say. They all lamented that Guan Ping has clear rewards and punishments, and he has the style of a celebrity.

"Soldiers are expensive and fast. The prime minister has been hiding it before. If you send me a letter this time, the front must have already set off. The sooner I go, the more I can share some of the thieves' troops with the prime minister." Guan Ping said solemnly, " I have been practicing the navy for a long time, and I am waiting for this moment, if I can't make merit, I will ask you to punish me."

Seeing Guan Ping's dignified expression, Cao Pi couldn't help but say hello slowly.

Because of the previous incident, his friendship with Yunshan is not as close as before, but Yunshan is willing to go on an expedition regardless of the cost, and even distributes all the rewards Cao Cao gave to his soldiers. This feeling really moved the great writer Cao Pi, Can't help but admire:

"The country has General Yun, very lucky, very lucky.

I don't know what else General Yun wants, as long as I say it, I, Cao Pi, will do my best to support it. "

Guan Ping smiled and said:
"Please Changwen to fight with me!"

Anyway, it was a long trip, Guan Ping was worried about leaving Chen Qun behind, but Chen Qun was also a bachelor, so he nodded abruptly:

"Okay, I have long wanted to go to war with General Yun, so that I can make meritorious service and honor the family, and let everyone in the world know that I, Chen Qun, have nothing to do with General Yun."

The two smiled tacitly, and Cao Pi finally heaved a sigh of relief and agreed to the plan.

"Hanzhong is far away, and there are many things that are too late to report to the prime minister and the son. If there is anything that violates the court's laws, please take care of me."

"What's so difficult about this?" Cao Pi smiled warmly, "I'll go to Shu, and ask the emperor to take a holiday, and when Hanzhong is conquered, everything will be dispatched by Tanzhi.

Tan Zhi's order is my order. If anyone violates it, I, Cao Pi, will not forgive him. "

His eyes quickly passed over Chen Qun's body, and he quickly added:
"Everyone!"

Cao Pi's status as a general with five sense organs is already quite prominent. With him as a guarantee for Guan Ping, Guan Ping can let go of things in Hanzhong.

In this Western Expedition, he took away Cao Jun's current main naval force, with Cai Mao controlling Nanyang, Ma Liang controlling Xiangyang, and he later controlling Hanzhong, Hanshui can be fully controlled in his hands.

Surrounded by mountains in Hanzhong, the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. Guan Ping was finally able to completely get rid of the identity of Le Jin's lieutenant general.

Zhang Tianshi gave his brother a face, and he will be grateful in the future.
