The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 470 What a pity, what a pity

Suffering such a big defeat, Fu Xun didn't know whether it was Hou Yin's false surrender or other changes, so he had to send people to send letters to Guan Ping and Zhang Wu while inquiring about information.

After Guan Ping received the news, he stopped marching immediately. In order to prevent being raided by the opponent's cavalry, Guan Ping led his troops quickly approached the edge of the water, and at the same time sent someone to deliver a letter to Guan Yu.

After Zhang Wu got the news, he was very frightened and angry, and lost more than 2000 elite sailors at once. If Wancheng was not close to the Fou River, the entire army of [-] sailors would have been wiped out. This is something that has not happened in many years What a shame!

Therefore, Zhang Wu ordered the whole army to stand by and make a decision after inquiring clearly.

Two days later, the scouts sent the information to Zhang Wu. After seeing it, Zhang Wu yelled: "Hou Yin is such an idiot! He's really out of his mind. Not only did he kill himself, but he also killed me like this." Many generals!"

Pang Tong, Lu Su and others who accompanied the army didn't know what "stupid" meant, but they guessed that it was definitely not a good word. When they saw the information, they knew why the lord was so angry, and finally understood what happened .

Pang Tong also wanted to yell, but he held back. This Hou Yin is really good enough. After capturing the Nanyang prefect Dongli Gun, he let it go again. As a military general, you don't know that "capture the thief first and capture the king" Does it make sense?
Zhang Wu's anger has not subsided, this Hou Yin really deserves his death, after the accident happened in your city, you sent someone to inform you, and you didn't even send a letter, which caused me to lose so many people in vain!

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Zhang Wu ordered the army to move on and storm Wancheng.

Pang Tong said: "Think twice, my lord, Wancheng has been decided. Now Cao Ren is inside and Zhang Liao is outside, echoing each other. And Cao's army will surely have reinforcements in the future. At this time, attacking the city may be futile."

Zhang Wu was also angry for a while, and wanted to vent his anger. Hearing what Pang Tong said, he also calmed down.Now Wancheng has been occupied by Cao Ren. Although it has just experienced a rebellion, after a victory, the morale of the defenders in the city should have recovered, and Zhang Liao led the cavalry to echo outside the city.

Although Cao Ren is not very good at leading troops to fight, his defensive ability is very strong, similar to that of a tortoise. Once his own attack is blocked and the other side comes to reinforce him, he may suffer another failure.

It seems that there is no chance to regain Nanyang this time. It is a pity that such a good opportunity was wasted by Hou Yin. Zhang Wu has already thought about what kind of official he will give Hou Yin. It is only because this guy is not so lucky. .

If Zhang Wu can successfully take Nanyang this time, he can mobilize a large army to threaten Xu Capital, and Cao Cao must move the capital to avoid the threat.If Xudu can be captured, it can not only improve morale, but also separate Cao Jun's east and west fronts. Even if Xudu cannot be captured, it can still contain a large number of Cao's troops and create opportunities for the east and west fronts.

That Lei Xu Xianshouchun made Zhang Wu get Huainan, and Zhang Wu named him General Zhendong and Jiujiang Prefect. If Hou Yin could let Zhang Wu get Nanyang, Zhang Wu would at least give him the title of General and Nanyang Prefect. After Wu ruled the world, it would be no problem for Hou Yin to become a Marquis with this contribution.

What a pity, what a pity!
Zhang Wu knew that there was no chance, but he still couldn't swallow his breath. Therefore, under Pang Tong's suggestion, the army continued to advance, and at the same time ordered to continue to deploy two thousand Xiangyang navy troops to go north, making a posture of attacking the city, and sent The troops of Cao Ren and Runan were firmly restrained in Nanyang.

At this time, Runan's troops were insufficient, so Zhang Wu ordered Gan Ning to lead his troops across the Huai River to harass Yuzhou.

Li Dian and Man Chong didn't dare to go out of the city to fight Gan Ning, so they could only defend a few cities and let Gan Ning run wild in Yuzhou, taking away a lot of supplies and people.

A month later, when Cao Ren saw that the Chu army had not come to attack the city for a long time, he knew that the opponent was bluffing, so he ordered Zhang Liao to return to Yuzhou to resist Ganning.

Cao Cao transferred Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Zhai Yuan, Xia Houcun, Lu Chang and others from the western front to station in Wancheng, and Cao Ren returned to Runan.

Dong Li Gun almost lost Nanyang. Although he later made amends, Cao Cao dismissed Dong Li Gun as the prefect of Nanyang and transferred him to Chang'an to serve as Sima of the Forbidden Army.

Zong Ziqing was promoted to the prefect of Nanyang because of his meritorious service, and assisted Cao Hong in guarding Nanyang.Ying Yu, a meritorious officer in Nanyang County, died at the hands of the rebels for his loyalty and loyalty. Cao Ren built a tomb for him and paid homage to him many times.

The Nanyang incident came to an end, Zhang Wu withdrew his troops and returned to Xiangyang, and Gan Ning also returned to Shouchun.

Fu Xun Zhongfu suffered a big defeat and lost his troops. Although he was not mainly responsible, Zhang Wu still demoted his official to Huainan. Xiangyang commanded the water army.

The plan to go directly to the high ground in the middle road failed, so Zhang Wu had to continue to develop honestly, seeking opportunities for breakthroughs on the two side roads.Cao Jun's strength is still very strong, especially the cavalry, like an assassin in Liushen costume squatting in the grass, ready to kill the opponent's single person at any time or suddenly appear and cut to the opponent's back row when fighting in a group.

The so-called blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes never come singly.In the summer of the 19th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao had just quelled the Nanyang Rebellion. He got up and came to Chang'an to inspect the military situation, but he did not expect that another rebellion would occur under his rule, and this time the rebellion happened in Ye County, his hometown.

At this time, Cao Pi was sitting in Ye County, and with the assistance of Wu Zhi and others, he managed the rear in an orderly manner. Of course, Cao Pi didn't have any major affairs to deal with. Let him deal with it.

Not long after, news of the Nanyang rebellion came, and Cao Pi was very worried when he knew about it, because Wancheng was next to Xudu. Once Nanyang fell into Zhang Wu's hands, Xudu would become the front line.Now the emperor is still in Xudu, in order to avoid accidents, the emperor must be moved away, and if the emperor moves, it will also have some bad effects.

At this time Cao Cao was still in Luoyang, and Cao Pi had already made plans to support Xu Du, but Wu Zhi advised him not to move lightly.

Cao Pi didn't move, but one person did. This person was Wei Xi.

Wei Xie, styled Zijing, was born in Jiyin (now Cao County, Heze, Shandong). He was quite resourceful, eloquent, and good at demagoguery. He is now a very powerful orator.

Being able to fool people with speeches in ancient times was a very powerful skill. People in Yecheng admired him very much at that time, and many high-ranking officials and dignitaries made friends with Wei Xi in private, so Wei Xi's reputation was very big.

In modern society, if a person is famous, it is very easy to make money. Selling something live on the short video platform can easily earn tens of millions a year.In ancient times, if a person was famous, it was very easy to become an official.

Xiangguo Zhongyou saw that Wei Xi was very famous, so he recommended him to Cao Cao. Cao Cao also heard of Wei Xi's name and knew that he had some talents, so he appointed him as the Prime Minister's Mansion Xi Cao.This can be regarded as a very close official position around Cao Cao, and the rank is not low. If other officials want to see Cao Cao, they must first obtain his consent.
