Chapter 357
The Xuanjia Army was a cavalry soldier in the early Tang Dynasty. Zhang Yi didn't know much about the Xuanjia Army.What he knew was that this cavalry was founded by Li Shimin, and it was a very strong cavalry. Its main generals were Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Yu Chigong and Zhai Changsun, who helped Li Shimin defeat many enemies.

Zhang Yi has always wanted to have an elite cavalry team, and now he can finally form an elite cavalry team.I just don't know if Zhai Changsun's Xuanjia feature can train cavalry comparable to tiger and leopard cavalry.

Only a few days after Cao Ren arrived in Puyang, Xue Rengui followed, which broke Cao Ren's heart.Fortunately, he was also prepared, knowing that Puyang might not be able to keep it, he had already sent people to prepare the boat.

Puyang is not far from the river, and the moat is connected to the river, so he is not in a hurry to retreat, and joins the tall city wall of Puyang to stop the pursuers.It's really demoralizing to keep retreating.

Xue Rengui was not busy attacking either, he still had plenty of time.The area around Xuchang and Chenliu can be said to be Cao Cao's cavalry land. I don't know if there will be rebellion.He was so anxious to go north, on the one hand, he wanted to pursue Cao Ren and take over Yanzhou as soon as possible.On the other hand, it also means to lead the snake out of the hole.

Li Jing used this move when he was in Wujun, killing dozens of powerful families, as many as thousands of people.Now Xue Rengui is also using this hand, and the effect is remarkable.

Chenliuyi County and as many as ten counties in Xuchang rebelled, and the remaining defenders stood firm on the city walls, waiting for Lu Xun to come and put out the rebellion.

After meeting up with Xue Rengui, Lu Xun hid his whereabouts and lurked around Chenliu County.When the army report of the rebellion in the ten counties was delivered to him, Lu Xun immediately planned the marching route and led his troops to cull the rebellion.

Like Wu Jun, those who rebelled were all powerful families, and they were all not very big families.Those big aristocratic families know the way of survival and will never participate in the rebellion. Whoever rules can serve for whom. If you don't want to serve, you can just stop being an official. There is no need to make fun of the whole family.

When these big families are hidden, even the emperor can't do much with them.But once these aristocratic families participate in the rebellion, they will definitely be uprooted.

History clearly states that the Zhong family was extremely prominent when Zhong Yao was around, but after Zhong Hui rebelled, the Zhong family disappeared from the stage of history.

The four major families of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were all prominent, but none of them survived because they participated in the power struggle.If the aristocratic family wants to survive, it cannot become the target of public criticism.

These rebellious wealthy families suddenly became prominent, but within ten days they were shot dead by Lu Xun's hidden arrow.

Lu Xun put down the rebellion in ten counties, captured tens of thousands of people, and beheaded hundreds of principal criminals according to Chinese law.Ten thousand people were sentenced to hard labor, served 20 years in prison, and sent to Pengcheng.

The rebellion in the ten counties affected the food road from Wancheng to Puyang, causing Xue Rengui to not have enough food and grass, so he could only rely on the food transported from Runan for temporary support.

There is still a lot of food transported from Runan, but it is not enough to supply Su Lie and Lu Meng's troops of nearly [-] troops.

Fortunately, the grain road was cut off for ten days, and Lu Xun got through the grain road.After half a month, Xue Rengui's food supply has been restored.

Cao Ren stayed in Puyang for half a month and was surprised to find that the enemy did not attack the city.A few days later, he heard that there was a rebellion in the Xuchang and Chenliu areas, and he was relieved.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Cao Ren used this time to rectify his soldiers and restore their morale.On the one hand, he sent Cao Zhen back to Yecheng and asked Cao Pi to send someone to meet him in Liyang.

Li Yang was once the garrison of Cao Cao, Yuan Tan and others, on the north of the river, guarding the throat of Jizhou.It can be said that it is the most important defensive point leading to Yecheng because the river water can prevent the enemy from crossing the river.

Most of the Central Plains and Hebei are plains, and there is no strategic danger at all. If Li Yang falls, the enemy army can drive straight in and approach Ye City.This was the case when Cao Cao attacked Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang. After Li Yang defeated Yuan Tan, he besieged the city of Ye.

Now, Cao Ren thought that he could not defend Puyang for a long time, so naturally he had to arrange in Liyang first.

At the same time, Cao Ren also sent a letter to Zhang Liao and Le Jin in Rencheng, telling them to retreat quickly.After he withdrew from Puyang, Xue Rengui's army attacked eastward, and they could not resist at all. Cao Wei could no longer lose his generals.

Zhang Liao and Le Jin received Cao Ren's letter and immediately started discussing.

"The enemy army is strong, and the general has been defeated all the way, and Puyang can't stop it. If Xue Rengui advances eastward, we will inevitably become the same as the general. But retreating now, I am unwilling." Zhang Liao handed Cao Ren's letter to Le Come on, said unwillingly.

After Le Jin saw it, he was more decisive than Zhang Liao. He didn't think so much, "Since the general has an order, we will follow it."

Zhang Liao said: "When we retreat, we must retreat to Hebei. I intend to retreat to Qinghe Kingdom, and then go east to Bohai County for mercy."

Le Jin thought for a while, "The Bohai Sea is too far away, and it's close to the sea, so it's easy for the enemy to attack."

Zhang Liao said: "If Yanzhou is lost, the imperial court will only have three states. If Bohai is lost, Zhang Yi will be attacked from both sides. It will be very difficult to defend Yecheng."

Le Jin was still not optimistic about holding the Bohai Sea. He said, "Let your Majesty make your decision!"

The two discussed for a long time, but there was no result. The whole army could only withdraw to Qinghe Kingdom first.

Zhang Liao and Le Jin withdrew their troops, and Tang He immediately followed up. However, Zhang Liao was well prepared and did not give Tang He an opportunity.

Tang He could only ask Yue Fei and Shan Xiongxin to divide their troops and lead people to take a detour to overcome the tribulation.However, Zhang Liao and Le Jin were not reluctant to fight. When encountering Yue Fei and Shan Xiongxin, they continued to retreat, and chose a path that was difficult for the cavalry to pursue, and got rid of the two cavalry in succession.

Finally, Zhang Liao and Le Jin withdrew to Qinghe State, Cao Ren withdrew to Liyang, and most of the Yanzhou area was left to Zhang Yi.

Xue Rengui and Tang He immediately ordered people to divide their troops to capture the counties in Yanzhou, and then formed five armies to station on the south bank of the river, with Xue Rengui, Lu Meng, Su Lie, Tang He, and Wang Meng as commanders.

Gao Changgong and Wei Rui are in the north of the river, forming a check on Yecheng.So far, Zhang Yi's strategy formulated at the beginning of the year has been fully realized, and all armies have stayed here.

Lu Xun was transferred to Pengcheng by Zhang Yi, returned to his old profession, and became the commander of the road construction troops.But this time it is not a road to be built, but a grand canal connecting the Huai River and the river, which is connected to the canal between the Jiang River and the Huai River that was built before.
