The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 490 Fighting on Two Fronts Again
Wang Ping is a member of the Dangqulong tribe in Brazil, Yizhou. He was not originally Han, but his mother was Han. He grew up in his grandfather He's family. The degree of Sinicization is so deep that he is no different from Han.After Zhang Wu conquered Yizhou and captured Hanzhong, Puhu, the Yi king of the seven surnames of Brazil County, and Du Wei, the Marquis of Yiyi, led the Brazilian Yi people and the people to rely on Zhang Wu, and Wang Ping also took refuge in Zhang Wu.

As a crossing party, Zhang Wu still has a little impression of Wang Ping. He knows that this man was considered a good general in the late Three Kingdoms period. In history, Ma Di was defeated in Jieting because he did not listen to Wang Ping's opinion, and Ma Di was defeated in the army. After escaping, only a thousand soldiers led by Wang Ping returned safely.

Later, Zhuge Liang reused Wang Ping and asked him to lead the Wudang Flying Army, one of the three elites of the Shu Han, to fight against the famous Cao Wei general Zhang He without losing the wind.After Wei Yan's death, Wang Ping once guarded Hanzhong for a long time, blocking Cao Shuang's attack of more than 2 troops with more than [-] troops.

After Zhang Wu inspected Wang Ping for a period of time, he felt that he was worthy of being a famous figure in history. Although he was illiterate, he did have real talents and learning, so he was promoted and reused. It is also important that he is better at mountain combat.

Veteran Yan Yan, Wu Yi, Li Hui and others stayed in Hanzhong, while Zhang Wu and Fazheng took Xiang Chong and other young generals to attack Hui County in person.

Fazheng said: "Your Majesty is a man of gold, how can you risk your life? It's better for you to sit in Hanzhong and let your subordinates attack Hui County."

The rest of the people also agreed with Fazheng's opinion. Now Zhang Wu is the king of a country, and there are so many advisers and generals under his command, there is no need to go to the battlefield in person. The so-called "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall".Although Zhang Wu is invincible in the world, any accident may happen on the battlefield. If something happens, the consequences may be very serious.

Zhang Wu said with a smile: "It's okay, Hui County is small and there are not many soldiers. If lonely relatives come, I'm afraid the defenders will be so frightened that they will abandon the city and flee."

Apart from these reasons, Zhang Wu has other plans.

The most critical point in this battle is to block the opponent's reinforcements, and then the army will besiege Xiabian. When the food and grass in the city are exhausted, they will either abandon the city and flee, or go out of the city for a decisive battle.If the cavalry of the Cao Army in Xiabian City dared to go out to fight back, the infantry of the Chu Army would be covered by the cavalry, and they would not be afraid.

After the opponent's cavalry is abolished, the Chu army can attack the city with confidence.

The opponent's reinforcements came from two places, one from Liangzhou and the other from Guanzhong.

Liangzhou has just experienced a major rebellion, and it is not very stable now. I am afraid that there will not be many troops to come to the rescue, and Huang Zhong is stationed in Gushan, which is enough to stop Cao Jun from Liangzhou.

The reinforcements that Xiabian City is looking forward to mainly come from Guanzhong, that is, the 15 troops stationed in Chang'an.These 15 troops are all elites, and there are still many cavalry. If they are allowed to come to Wudu, this plan will be in vain.

Therefore, Zhang Wu had to personally lead troops to capture Huixian County, and then stop Cao Jun from Guanzhong in Huixian County to support Wudu.Hui County is located in the northwest of Chenghui Basin, controlling the entrance of the entire Chenghui Basin, and it is the only way for Cao Jun to pass.

As long as Huixian is defended, the opponent will not be able to take this road to support Wudu. They must either stop and forcibly capture Huixian, or take a detour to Liangzhou and then enter Wudu from Tianshui.

Although Hui County is in an important position, there is basically no danger to defend it. It is easy for Zhang Wu to fight down, but it is very difficult to defend, because Hui County is a small county, the city wall is not tall, and it is impossible to station too many troops.

However, Zhang Wu had his own plan. He was sure to block Cao Jun's army from Chang'an and buy time for the army to attack Xiabian.

On the eastern front, Ding Feng, Lu Xun, and Wenpin took advantage of the abundant rain in summer and the surge of the river, and sent troops from Jianye to cross the Yangtze River to attack Guangling.At this time, Guangling County was flooded with water due to continuous heavy rain. The cavalry under Zang Ba's command was hindered and unable to exert its power. However, the opponent's naval forces controlled large and small rivers. Not only could they quickly provide support, but they also divided Guangling counties. Come on, Zang Ba felt that it was difficult to defend this time.

Zang Ba used to be Tao Qian's subordinate, and later gathered together with Sun Guan, Wu Dun and others to occupy Xuzhou, stationed troops in the Kaiyang area, and became his own overlord.When Cao Cao and Lv Bu started fighting, Zang Ba led troops to help Lv Bu, so after Lv Bu was defeated by Cao Cao, Zang Ba was afraid of being retaliated by Cao Cao, so he hid incognito, but was finally found by Cao Cao.

Seeing that Zang Ba was talented, Cao Cao asked him to come forward to recruit Wu Dun, Yin Li, Sun Guan, Sun Guan's brother Sun Kang and others. The matter was entrusted to Zang Ba and others.

Zang Ba was famous for his filial piety and bravery when he was young, and he led the army to fight since the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Chen Shou compared him with Li Tong, Wen Pin, Lu Qian and others.

But this time his opponents were Ding Feng, Lu Xun and Wenpin, and they were fighting in the rainy season, so they were beaten into a hole in the city and did not dare to come out. They only hoped that Cao Ren would come to rescue him quickly.

But Cao Ren was also powerless, and was blocked by Gan Ning in Huai'an, making it difficult to advance.Originally, he thought that Gan Ning's sending troops this time was for the purpose of containment, so he didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. After ordering Zhang Liao to lead the cavalry to ensure the safety of Pengcheng, he and Le Jin led the troops to Huainan, and wanted to play a game of besieging Wei and saving Zhao. .

But Ma Di guessed Cao Ren's idea based on Cao Ren's countermeasures, so he proposed that Gan Ning quickly occupy Huai'an, and then take advantage of the rainy season, which is conducive to naval warfare, to firmly block Zang Ba's retreat, cutting him off from Qingzhou and Yuzhou The connection created conditions for Ding Fengbu to occupy Guangling.

The Chu army quickly came to the shore near Baima Lake by boat. Fu Xun, who was eager to do his best, acted as the vanguard and led the troops to launch a fierce attack on Huai'an. The defenders in the city were caught off guard and were captured by the Chu army two days later.

Afterwards, Gan Ning led the main force to firmly control Huai'an, and a large number of defense materials were transported into the city.

Although the rainy season limited the performance of the cavalry, it was also not conducive to the Chu army's defense of the city, because in the rainy and humid weather, the Chu army's defensive weapons such as kerosene bombs, gunpowder and other high-tech weapons and crossbows were affected.

But as long as Cao Jun's cavalry can't perform well, Chu Jun will not be afraid in a head-to-head battle. What's more, Gan Ning's troops and generals are stronger than Cao Ren this time. Support, if Cao Jun wants to come hard, is exactly what Gan Ning wants.

As for Shouchun, Gan Ning was very relieved. Cao Jun didn't have a navy, so Cao Ren didn't dare to cross the Huaihe River if there were two or three thousand sailors.

Gan Ning was firmly stuck in Huai'an, which not only prevented Cao Jun from Qingzhou and Yuzhou from coming to help, but also cut off Zang Ba's way of retreating.To the south of Guangling County is the Yangtze River, to the east is the sea, and to the west are lakes and swamps. The Cao army in Guangling became a turtle in a urn, unable to advance or retreat, and people were panicked for a while.
