Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 242

Zhang Yi's worry was very reasonable. Cao Cao was already preparing to lead troops over in person, and it was simply unrealistic for Liu Yuanjing to block Cao Cao.

The news of Cao Cao's mobilization of troops quickly spread to the area controlled by Zhang Yi.Although Zhang Yi didn't know yet, Xue Rengui in Runan got the news, and soon their news spread to Pingchun.

Master and apprentice Shang had been waiting in Pingchun for more than a month, just to wait for news from Cao Cao.Now that the news of Cao Cao came, Master Shang and his disciples immediately dispatched troops from Pingchun, and marched westward directly to Fuyang.

There are so many counties in Nanyang County, there are 37 in total.Wan, Champion, Ye, Xinye, Zhangling, Xi'e, Pheasant, Luyang, Ji, Duyang, Bowang, Wuyin, Biyang, Fuyang, Pingshi, Jiyang, Huyang, Sui, Feiyang, Nieyang, Yin, Feng, Deng, Li, Shandu, Rang, Chaoyang, Caiyang, Anzhong, Zhuyang, Wudang, Shunyang, Xiangxiang, Nanxiang, Danshui, Analysis.

Of these 37 counties, Cao Cao occupies Wan, Nieyang, Rang, Anzhong, Yuyang (淯yang), Jiyang, Biyang, Champion, Wuyin, Duyang, Bowang, Xi'e, Zhixian, and Ye in the north. Counties, Ji County, Luyang Sixteen Counties, and the rest are still under Liu Biao's rule.

The most noteworthy place here is Bowang. There is a very important battle in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is the burning of Bowang, which is Zhuge Liang's first battle when he came out of the mountain.According to historical records, this war was fought by Liu Bei.But there is one thing that many people don't know, this war is not Liu Bei's defense, he is actually the attacker!
In the original history, after Liu Bei was defeated in Runan, he took refuge in Liu Biao.In 202 A.D., when Cao Cao was attacking Yuan Shang, Liu Biao sent Liu Bei to attack Cao Cao northward, all the way to Ye County.As a result, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin, and Li Dian to fight back against Liu Bei. Liu Bei retreated to Bowang and defeated the three of them by design. After the war, Liu Bei had to retreat because of the lack of troops.

Many people are used to thinking that the Battle of Bowang was fought by Zhuge Liang, but it is worth mentioning that Bowang is located in the northeast of Wanbei.To go from Xinye to Bowang, you need to go through Yuyang and Jiyang, and the only way to go is very close to Wan.If Liu Bei only defends in Xinye, he doesn't need to go to Bowang at all, as long as he is in Yuyang.

Fuyang is just a small county in the east of Nanyang County, but this place is very hidden.There is a mountain between the two counties of Fuyang and Pingshi, called Tongbai Dafu Mountain.Many people have never heard of this mountain, but it is a very important mountain in China. It is the birthplace of the Huai River.In the south of Fuyang is the later Tongbai Mountain. Fuyang is in the angle between Tongbai Dafu Mountain and later Tongbai Mountain, so it is very hidden.

But here, as long as you bypass Tongbai Dafu Mountain, you can directly raid Pingshi, Huyang, and Xinye. If Cao Cao's army passes through Xinye, then Master Shang and his apprentices can attack Cao Cao's supply line at any time.

Fuyang was not valued by Cao Cao and Liu Biao because of its location, but Zhang Yi took advantage of it.

This time Cao Cao can be said to have mobilized a lot of generals, including Xiahou Dun, Le Jin, Xu Chu, Li Dian, Li Tong, Zhang Xiu, Cao Xiu, etc., and also brought Cheng Yu and Guo Jia to serve as military staff.From Xuchang to Wancheng, to Wancheng for a short rest.

In the past few days, the entire battlefield has undergone changes to varying degrees, and the news of Cao Cao's dispatch of troops has also been sent to Zhang Yi.Zhang Yi immediately sent Li Jing, Pang Tong, and Qin Qiong to Caiyang to ensure that Liu Yuanjing would not be defeated.

After arriving in Caiyang, Li Jing immediately made arrangements and set up a camp outside Caiyang City, which echoed Caiyang City and strangled the water.

Liu Heita has found out the way to Zigui, and has sent Huo Jun to take Zigui.There are only a few soldiers in Zigui City, and they have been cautious all the time, because they are afraid of Yizhou's reaction.

Lin Fengxiang and others in Linxiang also started to attack the city, but under Huang Zhong's counterattack, they only completed the erection of bridge vehicles in one day.Huang Zhong was also desperately leading people to stop him, throwing torches on the bridge cars, igniting many bridge cars.However, Lin Fengxiang and others piled up soil on the bridge car, which prevented Huang Zhong and others from igniting the bridge car and had to go out of the city to destroy it.Huang Zhong didn't dare to go out of the city yet, but the enemy troops outside the city had set up a lot of bows and crossbows, and they would be shot if they went out of the city.

Xue Rengui also took action here. Cao Cao mobilized the soldiers and horses in Runan, and Xue Rengui began to act. He led the cavalry to plunder all over Runan, plundering people and various materials.

For Xue Rengui's actions, Cao Ren who defended Runan also knew.But he didn't have much to do. Most of the soldiers were transferred by Cao Cao. He had no power to fight back against Xue Rengui's cavalry.Cao Ren's troops were all infantry, and infantry beat cavalry, and short legs were a disadvantage, and they were far inferior to the cavalry who came up like wind, so they could only defend passively.If Jiangling was a bad cavalry soldier, Cao Ren might be able to set up an ambush, but Xue Rengui is not an ordinary cavalry general, and Cao Ren failed to catch him several times.

Master and apprentice Shang kept sending out scouts in Fuyang to inquire about news of Cao Cao's army.Soon after receiving the news that Cao Cao was finishing, he immediately assembled his troops, quietly bypassed Tongbai Dafu Mountain, and hid himself in a ravine.

Cao Cao's army marched south again, gradually entering Jiyang, Yuyang, and Xinye.However, when they arrived in Xinye, Cao Cao's army slowed down, and they were harassed by Zhang Yi's navy on the water.

From Zhixian County, Feishui becomes north-south, from Xi'e, Wanwan, Jiyang, Yuyang, Xinye, Chaoyang to Xiangyang.Now that the dry season is approaching, large boats on the Feishui River cannot enter, so Zhang Shun asked Su Fei to take dozens of boats to the north to stop the enemy.

Su Fei went north along the Fei River, saw Cao Cao's army, and attacked Cao Cao's army on the water.After Cao Cao was harassed, he also began to worry. Even on this shallow water, Zhang Yi's navy would cause him trouble, so wouldn't it be even more disadvantageous for him to have no sailors on the Han River and Jiangshui?

After Cao Cao arrived in Xinye, Master Shang sent a large number of scouts to investigate in Jiyang, Yuyang and other places, looking for Cao Cao's supply lines.

A plot that has been planned for several months is unfolding like Cao Cao's. As long as Shang and his disciples can successfully cut off Cao Cao's food supply, then Li Jing can take advantage of the situation to defeat Cao Cao, drive Cao Cao back to Xuchang, and perhaps take Wancheng and other places. .

However, this is also a dangerous move, because it is not very convenient to transport grain through the mountain road around Dafu Mountain in Tongbai. If Master Shang and his disciples did not snatch the grain and grass, then he might have to retreat because of the lack of grain and grass, and even be defeated by Cao Cao.

In short, if it succeeds, Zhang Yi can win Jingzhou, if not, then there will be variables.
