Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 355 Su Dingfang intercepted and killed Liu Yan
As reinforcements from Ma Chao and Xue Rengui arrived successively, the number of Zhang Yi's troops around Xuchang gradually surpassed that of Cao Ren.

Cao Ren was extremely worried. The city of Xuchang that had been managed over the years was huge and deep. He himself was also very good at defending, so there was no problem for a while.

But Yanling has more problems. Cao Chun and Cao Zhen are two people who are good at cavalry combat, and the other is a fledgling. Moreover, the city wall is not too high, and there are not many supplies for defending the city.Most of the soldiers under the two men are cavalry, and there is not much rations.

Cao Ren was worried about the lack of food in Yanling, so he wanted to find someone to transport food to Yanling. Because it was only thirty or forty miles away, he did not consider Cao Xiu.

At this time, his general Shi Liuyan suddenly came to ask for orders. Cao Ren thought that he did not have any experience in leading troops and did not want him to go.

However, Liu Yan said: "If Xuchang is besieged by the enemy today, and the generals are guarding the city alone, it is time for employing people, and the generals must defend the city. Yan is a useless person, and death is not a pity. If Yan successfully reaches Yanling, it will be The enemy's strength is insufficient, the general can continue to hold out for a while; if Yan is killed by Zhang Jun, the enemy must be strong, and the general should consider withdrawing his troops."

When Cao Ren heard this, he took Liu Yan's hand and said to him, "Be careful when you resign. If there is any disagreement, return to Xuchang immediately. A loyal man like Gong is what the court needs."

Liu Yan set off to Yanling with a grain transportation team, saying that he is a loyal man, but it is not very likely.Liu Yan was Liu Bei's subordinate at the beginning, that is, Liu Bei joined Liu Bei when he was in Runan.

According to the original historical trajectory, Liu Yan followed Liu Bei all the way to Jingzhou and into Shu. It can be said that he was a staunch supporter of Liu Bei, that is, the Cao faction.

Historically, Liu Yan's ending was not very favorable. He had a beautiful wife who was often sought out by the queen to talk to.Liu Yan suspected that Liu Chan was having an affair with his wife, so he uttered nonsense and said a lot of inappropriate things.Liu Chan was very angry and killed him.

In this time and space, Liu Yan kept his name incognito after Liu Bei's demise.He always believed that Liu Bei was the hope of the Han Dynasty. After Liu Bei was eliminated by Zhang Yi, he believed that Zhang Yi killed the last hope of the Han Dynasty.So he hated Zhang Yi and chose to join Cao Cao.

Liu Yan is very beautiful, he is a member of the clan of the Han Dynasty, and he is upright. He is the talent Cao Cao most wants.Although he issued an order to seek talents, he said that only talents should be promoted.But wouldn't it be better if this person was both talented and virtuous?

After nearly ten years of promotion, Liu Yan became the long history of General Cao Ren, and only then did the previous scene happen.

Liu Yan is a staunch supporter of the Han Dynasty, but he doesn't think the Han Dynasty will prosper here in Liu Xie.But he still supported Xun Yu's proposition. After Xun Yu's death, he no longer had any fantasies about the Cao family, but specifically added trouble to Zhang Yi.

He believes that Cao Ren should choose to break out now instead of staying in Xuchang.Because Cao Ren's current form is similar to that of Liu Bei back then.If Liu Bei chose to break through, there was still a way to survive, but Liu Bei didn't, so he was wiped out by Zhang Yi.

This is the lesson from the past, and Liu Yan has persuaded him many times, but Cao Ren still wants to stick to it, so Liu Yan can only use this method of persuasion.

Liu Yan set off from Xuchang with 50 hu of military rations and rushed to Yanling as fast as possible.

But halfway through, a group of men and horses appeared on both sides of the road, flying a big Soviet flag.

This is Su Lie's army. Su Lie had already spotted Liu Yan when he left the city, and then ambushed him halfway.

Seeing that he was caught in an ambush, Liu Yan felt relieved, and said to the soldiers, "Light it up!"

Cao Jun immediately lit the fire and set the grain cart ablaze.Liu Yan had already prepared combustibles on the grain truck, and he knew that he would not be able to go back alive, and he would add trouble to Zhang Yi before he died.

The flames ignited quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already very hot.Those cows and horses pulling grain and grass were frightened by the flames and ran around, knocking many Cao soldiers to the ground, trampling to death.

Seeing this situation, Su Lie didn't let his soldiers go to fight the fire.Going in at this time will definitely cause many unnecessary casualties, this is not what Su Lie wants to see.

"Fire the arrow!" Su Lie ordered.

Since you can't go in and rescue them, you should shoot Cao Bing and the cattle and horses. Although these cattle and horses have some value, they are still far behind war horses and are not worth cherishing too much.

Under Zhang Yi's rule, there is no shortage of cattle and horses to cultivate land. Over the years, Zhang Yi's attention to people's livelihood has not diminished.In order to make people eat less cows and horses, he promoted the technique of inciting pigs, which solved the problem of pork smelling and made pork the most popular meat for the people.

And he also promotes many recipes about pigs that he knows, such as Sichuan white meat, blood sausage, fried large intestine and so on.

And it has increased the development of fish, not only limited to fish in rivers, but also organized a large number of ocean fishing, and even caught scallops, oysters and other marine ingredients to increase people's choices.

Arrows shot past, whether it was Cao soldiers or cattle and horses, they were shot one after another.

After Liu Yan ignited the grain truck, he burst out laughing, everything happened as he expected, and he also completed the last act of blocking Zhang Yi, what was the last resort?How not to laugh out loud?

"puff!"

An arrow shot into Liu Yan's chest, Liu Yan's laughter suddenly stopped, his body gradually lost strength, and he knelt down on the ground, but there was no pain on his face, but a smile , he was freed!
As early as ten years ago, his heart had died with Liu Bei's death, and now it was only his body that died.

Su Lie looked at Liu Yan's crazy look and felt baffled. What happened to this person?
Liu Yan died, but Cao Ren was reminded.Cao Ren immediately chose to retreat to the north, and burned the food that could not be taken away, and set fire in the palace of the Han Dynasty.

Lu Xun had no choice but to advance to the city to fight the fire, and gave up the pursuit of Cao Ren.The palaces of the Han Dynasty are not a pity, just burn them and build them again.But if the fire is not extinguished, it may sweep the whole city, and many people will suffer.

Cao Ren took advantage of the fire to ask for the pursuit, and immediately went to Yanling to meet Cao Chun, and then led by tiger and leopard cavalry, broke through many obstacles, and retreated into Chenliu County.

Since then, Cao Wei's strength has been withdrawn from Yuzhou, and only the four states of Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Yanzhou have been retained.In two months, the three and a half states of Sili, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou were discarded.

Moreover, Zhang Yi's offensive is not over yet, and a steady stream of soldiers are marching towards Yanzhou.
