Chapter 352

Yanzhou Xuchang, which in the original history, occupies an extremely important position in the city, now also because of its proximity to Yuzhou, but only become a relatively large city in Yanzhou.

However, in view of a series of wars in Hanzhong not long ago, even Cao Ren, the governor of Yanzhou, believed that the focus of the war had been put there. Even some time ago, I heard that Cao Ren sent part of the garrison of Chenliu and Jiyin to Chang'an to participate in the defense. If it wasn't for the fact that Xuchang was too close to Yuzhou, I'm afraid Xuchang's troops would have to be transferred by half.

"Ah!" A garrison on the head of the city yawned and joked with one of his comrades in arms: "I said the third! It is said that in half a month, you will be ready to marry the daughter of the old Wang family in the street? "

"Ha ha!" The third garrison, who was asked, had a giggle, but in his smile there was a sense of happiness, "yes! Iron head! You must invite the brothers to my house for a wedding reception

The garrison, nicknamed iron head, patted the third on the shoulder and said with a smile, "sure! certain! How lucky you are! I'm so anxious that the old Wang's daughter is very beautiful Iron head claps very hard, beat that old three straight grin teeth, but still dare not fight back, even scold can't scold, can only accompany smile. Old three heart has been Feifei, who does not know that this bastard has been salivating for his wife who has never been married, and now he has snatched his hand, which can be regarded as revenge.

The old three is still shy with a smile, and suddenly looks at the outside of the city behind the iron head. His face changes, pointing to the outside of the city, he exclaims: "brother iron head! Look! What is that? " As he spoke, his voice trembled and his face turned pale.

Tietou turned back quickly, but he saw the end of the boundless plain outside the city, and suddenly rolled up the dust and smoke. This iron head is also an old soldier. Last year, he took part in the battle of Xuzhou. Iron head can see at a glance that the dust smoke is obviously the sign of a large group of people coming to this side, but I haven't heard of a large group of people coming to Xuchang these two days! The rest, there is only one possibility, that is, there is an enemy attack!

"Come on! Come on! First of all, all the city gates are closed! Let all the lazy people down there come up! " Although iron head is small-minded, he is still a qualified soldier. When he sees the enemy's army attacking, he immediately gives orders to the third and other garrison soldiers around him. The iron head didn't blow the horn in a hurry. After all, he didn't really know whether the enemy was the enemy. If he made a joke, he would lose his head even if it was real.

However, the speed of the other party's advance is very fast, in a short time, you can see the other party's flag faintly. After that, he ran to the horn of the city to see clearly the content of the falling horn. However, it may be because of too much tension that the horn has not been sounded. The iron head breathed deeply and then blew the horn again. This will mean that the horn of an enemy attack has been sounded.

The dust and smoke from the outside of the city was getting closer and closer. At last, it revealed the true face of the dust smoke, but it was not less than 100000 cavalry! But in front of the cavalry is holding up a huge flag, on which are written two lines of big characters: "Jiangdong new army, thunderstorm ride"!

This period of time was the most troublesome period since Cao Cao started his army. The first was the battle of Hanguguan, which was managed painstakingly. At the last moment, it failed. Although it was also regarded as the successful annihilation of Jingzhou legion, one of the three legions in the eastern Wu Dynasty. However, the most important goal of this plan, Hanguguan still did not get hold of it. Then, news came from Qishan that chencangshan, xiegu and xieguanguan were lost one after another, which made Cao Cao feel scared. Although Qishan was not completely occupied by the Dongwu army, the loss of these three strongholds meant that if the Dongwu Army wanted to attack Chang'an, it would no longer have to worry about the natural danger of Qishan.

In this regard, Cao Cao quickly sent troops from all over the country to defend Chang'an, and even tried to move his capital to avoid the attack of Hanzhong army. When the Northern Wei Dynasty set the capital, Cao Cao wanted to set the capital in Xuchang, but because Xuchang was too close to the eastern Wu, he gave up the idea. Now the natural danger of Qishan is gone. Isn't Chang'an almost like Xuchang?

However, when Cao Cao was in a state of anxiety, Jia Xu and Sima Yi, two of the top intellectuals in his account, spoke out to dissuade Cao Cao from moving his capital. But even so, Cao Cao sent troops from all over the country, and gathered a total of 800000 troops around Chang'an! In this way, Cao Cao was a little relieved.

However, just after Cao Cao had arranged the 800000 troops around Chang'an, the news that Yanzhou had been attacked by thunderstorms of the eastern Wu Dynasty was not coming from Hanzhong, but that Yanzhou had been attacked by Yuzhou and Yangzhou.

When hearing the news, Cao Cao's first reaction was that it was a trap! It must have been a trap set by the Soochow army to remove the 800000 army Cao Cao had assembled in Chang'an. However, the cruel reality shows that this is not a trap. This attack on Yanzhou even included the Jiangdong new army, the first regiment of Soochow.After learning the news, Cao Cao immediately took 600000 out of the 800, 000 army he had arranged and sent to Yanzhou to support, but he still left 200000 in case of any accident. However, shortly after Cao Cao sent the 600000 troops to Yanzhou, news came from Jizhou that the Xuzhou regiment, which had been silent for some time, suddenly appeared on the border between Qingzhou and Jizhou.

Cao Cao was not stupid. On the contrary, Cao Cao was also a powerful military strategist. In this way, Cao Cao also saw through the tricks of the eastern Wu Dynasty, and wanted to make Cao's army tired. But seeing through the same thing, Cao Cao had to continue to follow the rear of the eastern Wu. In this regard, Cao Cao had nothing to do with it. Who made the army of Dongwu more than his own!

Cao Cao is now sitting in his study, with a long silk scarf tied to his forehead and touching his forehead. Recently, a series of things made Cao Cao's gout attack again. This time, Cao Cao's head was very painful, and several famous medical officials were not able to deal with it. Some time ago, he said that he was going to find Hua Tuo, a famous doctor in the world. However, Hua Tuo suddenly disappeared ten years ago and there was no news.

I looked up at the counsellors who were discussing with each other in a low voice. They were the think tanks set up by Cao Cao after Sun Jian of the eastern Wu Dynasty. Besides Jia Xu and Sima Yi, they also included Xu you, Feng Ji, Xin Ping and Xinpi. Naturally, they were far inferior to the think tank in the eastern Wu Dynasty. However, since the establishment of this think tank, it has really helped Cao Cao solve many practical problems.

"Gentlemen Cao Cao said weakly, "can you have any good plan to deal with the attack of Dongwu?"

Jia Xu and others immediately stopped the discussion, but they all face Cao Cao with their heads down and dare not look up at him. Cao Cao frowned, but he sighed faintly. It is just that the so-called clever women can't make a meal without rice. Now, what lies in front of the Northern Wei Dynasty is a very realistic problem, that is, the lack of troops. Cao Cao now has some regrets that he started to split his skin with Dongwu so early. If he had waited for a few years, maybe the Northern Wei Dynasty would have made a living with Soochow. Of course, this is also Cao Cao's own wishful thinking. Even if Cao Cao wanted to wait, I'm afraid the eastern Wu would not allow him to wait for several years.

The rest of Jia Xu's eyes were directed at Cao Cao. Seeing Cao Cao's headache, Jia Xu sighed slightly. It seemed that he could only use that move. After making up his mind, Jia Xu stood up and bowed to Cao Cao and said, "Lord! I have a plan, but I'm not sure I can succeed! "

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly brightened, looking at Jia Xu's old face which was even more ugly than him, but he did not know why, how to look at how to look good. Cao Cao seemed to feel that his headache was much better. He quickly got up and sat down in front of Jia Xu. He took Jia Xu's hand and said, "what can I do for you, sir?"

Jia Xu saw that Cao Cao was so excited that he knew that Cao Cao had been forced to die this time. If the current situation continues, it will not be long before the defense lines of the Northern Wei Dynasty will collapse. At that time, the Dongwu army will surely invade the whole line. Even if the immortals descend to the earth, there is no room for recovery.

Jia Xu raised his head to Cao Cao and said, "in fact, the strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty is no worse than that of the eastern Wu Dynasty. Otherwise, Soochow would not use this trick to consume the strength of our army. The plan of Hangu pass presented by his subordinates to the Lord last time failed to win the Hangu pass, but it succeeded in destroying the Jingzhou Legion! My subordinates are willing to offer another plan to the Lord this time, and strive to wipe out the Xuzhou army, another regiment of Soochow. By then, only Jiangdong new army will be left in Soochow, which is about the strength of our Northern Wei Dynasty! It's just that... "

At first, Cao Cao heard Jia Xu say that his strategy could destroy the Xuzhou army, which made him headache. He almost jumped up with no joy. However, Jia Xu only said half of what he said, and then he shut up. Cao Cao was so anxious that he did not have the image of a overlord in his daily life. Cao Cao said to Jia Xu anxiously, "what is it? If you have anything to say, please say it directly! You and I have been monarchs and ministers for so many years. Is there anything else Sir can't say to me

Jia Xu shook his head again and again and said to Cao Cao, "the Lord has misunderstood me. This is because the plan that my subordinates offered to him is too insidious. I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the Lord!"
