The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 627
Many days have passed since Liu Chan received good news from Guan Xing and Guan Suo one after another.

At this time, Guan Xing, in order to strengthen Guan Suo's strength and cut off Cao Wei's troops going south, regained control of the Tuntian Xiaowei in the south of Wancheng and the Tuntian Xiaowei in Anzhong, and organized the army as quickly as possible. Go north, conquer Nieyang, and join forces with Guansuo's army.

Then, the Guan brothers' army stopped immediately, and Guan Suo did not continue to lead the army to attack Wancheng, but began to build a large number of fortifications at the southward exit of the mountainous area of ​​Wancheng to intercept the arrival of Cao Wei's army. .

On the other hand, Guan Xing's troops marched to Jiaxia, blocking another channel for Cao Wei's army to go south from the west.Since then, the Xiangyang Army has changed from the previous rapid offensive to defensive operations.

In fact, what the Guan Brothers did was, to some extent, an extremely conservative strategy.However, in the case that their purpose of attacking this time has been achieved, it is actually understandable to do so.

Moreover, this transformation of the Guan Brothers is actually very timely.Because of Le Jin's urgent request for help, he has already been welcomed by counties and counties in Yuzhou in the north of Nanyang County.

Especially in the direction of Yingchuan and Heping's City, a large number of Cao Wei troops were stationed. They immediately dispatched an army of nearly 2 from Kunyang to the official road of Ye County, including at least 5000 cavalry. Team.

Liu Chan was desperately deployed in the Jingzhou Army, but as a result, he could only deploy a cavalry team of 6000 people, and he could hardly find opponents in the southern part of the Jingzhou Army.But Cao Wei, just in Yuzhou, can easily dispatch a cavalry team of 5000 people. This gap is really impossible to count.

Moreover, these nearly [-] troops are still the troops at the front of Yuzhou, and the troops from the various counties and counties in the rear will probably follow them to Nanyang County.

This can actually be seen from another aspect. After Guan Yu's Northern Expedition, the Cao Wei garrisons in Nanyang County and Yuzhou have become very sensitive now.As a result, the Guan Brothers only dispatched 3000 troops, and they immediately launched their troops one after another, as if they were about to launch a large-scale battle.

However, in the face of such a crazy enemy, the troops in the hands of the Guan Brothers are really not enough.Therefore, one of them built fortifications south of Wancheng, and the other occupied Jiaxia's city. Such actions should be said to be correct.

With the gradual arrival of reinforcements, Le Jin's courage grew stronger again.The number of people in his hand soon reached nearly 6000, and the two Cao Wei troops who came from Yingchuan did not go south to gather in Wancheng, they directly took the direction of Jiaxia.

In other words, Cao Wei's troops were divided into two groups, trying to defeat the Guan brothers' army at the same time.

A war broke out again between the armies of both sides.However, because the Xiangyang Army had already formulated a very complete action plan, and Cao Wei's army acted hastily, even with a superior force, it was difficult to shake the defense of the Xiangyang Army.

At this time, Wang Fu had already organized a large number of Xiangyang residents.They crossed Xiangshui one after another, and began to rush to harvest the grain that was almost mature in Tuntian Xiaowei in Anzhong.

When the residents of Xiangyang rushed to collect Anzhong's grain in a hurry, they went north without stopping to Tuntian Xiaowei, south of Wancheng.The planting area here is larger, and the food grows much better than Anzhong's. After all, Nanyang County is the most affluent county in the world, and the most affluent area in Nanyang County is just south of Wancheng!
The residents of Xiangyang looked at the endless sun and wheat in front of them, which were bathed in golden sunlight and reflected brilliant brilliance.The autumn breeze blew by, bringing with it the heat that hadn't dissipated, making the skin of the human body feel a little hot.

However, the heat was not a problem at all, and everyone's hearts were filled with joy.

Moreover, the residents of Xiangyang have all received orders from the government, and the fighting in the north is getting more and more intense.Therefore, they must rush to harvest the food here faster than in Anzhong.

As a result, all Xiangyang residents took action again.With the highest enthusiasm, no, it should be said that it is the craziest enthusiasm, he devoted himself to the work of harvesting grain.As long as these grains are harvested, at least one to two years' grain can be provided to the residents of Xiangyang.

In Le Jin's barracks, the atmosphere seemed rather dignified.

Le Jin's army is more than twice that of Guan Suo's army, and he is still fighting with his back against Wancheng, so he has all the military supplies.However, after these days of fighting, Le Jin discovered that Guan Suo's army was like a piece of dog skin plaster, stuck in the mountainous area, and could not be defeated or driven away.

Moreover, through the scouts who crossed the river from the direction of Xinye County and penetrated to the direction of Anzhong, it was reported that the grain in the Tuntian District of Anzhong has been snatched up by the residents of Xiangyang.Today, there was originally a field full of succulents that were about to mature, and there are only a lot of grains that have not been cleaned up or that have fallen on the ground.

What's even more detestable is that the residents of Xiangyang have now begun to grab the grain in the Tuntian District south of Wancheng.

After hearing these two pieces of news, Le Jin's face suddenly turned green.

The two Tuntian school lieutenants under his jurisdiction were reviewed by Wei Wang Cao Pi personally ordered the Shangshutai.Its purpose is very obvious, but to use the army to produce food and prepare food reserves for future attacks on Xiangyang.Now that he lost his territory, he would be punished severely.

Moreover, Le Jin carefully managed the two Tuntian school captains, but he had a lot of selfishness.Because, for Le Jin, this is definitely a move that couldn't be better. He can personally appoint his cronies to manage the two Tuntian captains, and then he will be able to pocket a lot of money.

Moreover, as far as the Tuntian Xiaowei District is concerned, Le Jin has almost unlimited power in it.Not only can he embezzle the food produced by the soldiers, but he can also engage in various commercial activities in it, and make a lot of money from it.

The previous business activities really made Le Jin a fortune, and he felt very satisfied.However, the food harvested in autumn is the highlight, and it is definitely the fattest piece of meat.

But what about the result?Now that I haven't moved my chopsticks to these two pieces of fat, the Xiangyang army has already rushed towards them like two wild hungry wolves.Then, before Le Jin even turned around, they had already gobbled up the smaller piece of fat into their stomachs.Then, they've now begun to bite into the last, biggest, and best piece of fat.

Of course Le Jin was not reconciled.So, like a lunatic, he personally went into battle and led his army to launch a fierce attack on Guan Suo's army recklessly.

Le Jin's madness really made Guan Suo's army feel overwhelmed.Fortunately, Guan Xing's Jia Xia side was not as fierce as Guan Suo's side, so Guan Xing sent 2000 people to support Guan Suo's army.Guan Suo's pressure suddenly eased a little.

And Shi Guangyuan, who guarded Xiangyang City, quickly got all the information on the front line.He made a decisive decision and dispatched the [-] cavalry left by Liu Chan to cross the Xiangshui River as quickly as possible, and rushed to the southern mountainous area of ​​Wancheng to support Guan Suo's army.

However, Shi Guangyuan did not use the infantry on the front line of Xiangshui to cross the river.In fact, the reason why Shi Guangyuan used the cavalry is because they have high-speed mobility and can rush to the battlefield to participate in the battle in the shortest time.But the infantry obviously had no such advantage.

Perhaps, by the time the infantry arrived in Wancheng, the fighting there would be over soon.Moreover, when Cao Wei's army had a large cavalry, the retreat of the infantry was already a problem.

With the assistance of Guan Xing and Shi Guangyuan's reinforcements successively, Guan Suo's pressure was finally reduced to a tolerable range.

Therefore, Guan Suo led his army to stand firm for eight days, until the soldiers on both sides were exhausted.In fact, Le Jin was originally known as a brave general, and he was very brave in battle.In addition, he is under too much pressure now, and Guan Suo has seen what it means for a lunatic to lead an army to fight.

Then, the new reinforcements from Yuzhou also arrived near Wancheng.

After Guan Xing got the information, he knew that with Cao Wei's new input of troops, they would not be able to withstand anything in the future.

Therefore, Guan Xing immediately sent an order to the residents of Xiangyang who were rushing to harvest food to retreat as soon as possible.They then set fire to the remaining unharvested fields of bean and wheat, about a tenth of which remained unharvested.

Guan Xing's doing this is really amazing, what he can't get, he will never leave it to the enemy, and this enemy is still the original owner of these grains!

Now that it is officially autumn season, the fire in the bean and wheat fields has been burning for three full days.The fire was really big, and the straw was originally a flammable item, so black smoke rose everywhere.In fact, the scene of the fire burning is the most brilliant at night. The flames in the fields almost dyed half of the sky red, making the stars in the sky seem to lose their brilliance.

Three days later, the fields of bean and wheat were burned to the ground.The two troops of the Xiangyang Army began to retreat.They did not retreat directly to the south, but first crossed Xishui, entered Funiu Mountain, and then returned to Nanxiang.In this way, the pursuit of the cavalry in Cao Wei's army was also avoided.

When Le Jin led his army out of the mountainous area of ​​Wancheng and came to Tuntian District, he saw the bare fields and those fields that had been burned to scorched earth and were still smoking in many places , he was really stimulated and almost fell off his horse.
