Under the onslaught of various weapons, the Wei army was in chaos. Zhang Fei broke into the enemy's formation and finally captured his old opponent Cao Hong alive.

In order to allow the friendly forces to wipe out the tiger and leopard cavalry, Guan Yu's army went all out to block the successive attacks of the Wei army's cavalry in a narrow area, and paid a lot of casualties.

The two sides fought fiercely all day, and Guan Yu's army had lost thousands of people.

Seeing that Xinye has been burnt to a piece of white ground, it doesn't make much sense to stick to it,

Guan Yu gritted his teeth and thought for a moment, then simply ordered the whole army to retreat.

When retreating, Guan Yu did not forget to instruct his subordinates to burn down the counterweight trebuchet that had been made with great difficulty, and resolutely refused to give Wei Jun the opportunity to confiscate the imitation.

Although the Wei army seemed to have the upper hand, the tiger and leopard cavalry were wiped out, Cao Hong was captured, and the weakness of the lack of assault elites was undoubtedly exposed.

Guan Yu fought and retreated, all the way back to Fancheng, Jia Kui regained Xinye, but he didn't dare to pursue deeply, so he had to announce his strike.

Niu Jin, who was disguised as a bandit, noticed that the Han army was retreating, thinking that Cao Hong's cavalry had already dispersed the Han army.

Overjoyed, he took the initiative to lead his soldiers to outflank the rear of the Han army.

But he never expected that the formation of the Han army was not chaotic in the retreat, and Liu Fengzheng was full of anger, worrying that there was no one to vent.

When he saw Niu Jin, the Wei general who had hurt him so badly, his eyes were shattered, his eyes were red, he threw off the troops and led an army to pursue Niu Jin.

Only then did Niu Jin know that Cao Hong was also captured.

The whole plan collapsed, and Cao Hong was captured,

Niu Jin knew that even if he went back, he would probably be the one to take the blame.

In desperation, he could only scream up to the sky, and Hengdao was forced to commit suicide.

It was really a blood loss for Cao Wei to pay such a high price.

Surprisingly...

This battle, they actually won!

This was Cao Wei's first victory against Ji Han since Cao Cao's Battle of Hanzhong.

Moreover, this time it actually repelled the joint onslaught of Ji Han Da Sima Guan Yu and Chariot General Zhang Fei, and defended Xinye, which can be described as a rare victory.

This once again verified that the Wei army's combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and its advantage on the plain is extremely strong.

It also strengthened Cao Pi's determination to guard the front line of Jingzhou.

Hmph, Cao Hong's fall was not his own fault,

It's good enough to set fire if you have nothing to do, why break the embankment and release water in the winter.

Cao Pi is already investigating who gave Cao Hong this bad idea.

This person must be Liu Chan's secret work!

Defend Xinye and repel Guan Yu. On the front line of Jingzhou, the two sides have returned to the state of seesaw.

The main force of Guan Yu and Cao Wei fought head-on, and they also suffered a lot of casualties.

After hesitating for a long time, Guan Yu was forced to choose to retreat to Fancheng, temporarily ending the Northern Expedition.

meaning is……

The corners of Cao Zhen's mouth twitched a few times.

He suddenly realized that the road in Jingzhou was basically safe.

But now, all of Cao Wei's hopes rested on him alone.

As long as Liu Chan is driven away, Cao Pi will win a complete victory against Liu Bei after he ascends the throne.

This is very important to Cao Pi.

if not...

If you can't do it, you have to do it!

Chapter 304 Is This Really Excessive

Cao Zhen publicized the news that the Wei army had repelled Guan Yu,

Hearing this, all the sergeants were rejoiced, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What made Cao Zhen even more happy was that Sima Yi offered to go with Zhang He to attack Longyou.

Sima Yi believed that Liu Chan had always been deceitful, and if he thought about it with his toes, he knew that he would definitely occupy Longshan and make things difficult for Wei Jun.

It depends on whether he wants to occupy the mountain pass of Longshan Mountain or the Jieting Pavilion.

The mountain pass occupying Longshan can also consider learning to sneak into the rear. If they occupy Jieting, they can only attack by force.

But the situation is not too bad for Wei Jun.

The new Liangzhou Inspector Zhang is a talent, he will never allow the Han army to cut off Longyou, cut off the connection between Liangzhou and Guanzhong,

At this moment, the cavalry must have been mobilized to prepare for the attack.

Liu Chan's profile will be greatly threatened.

In addition, although Liu Chan has Ma Chao, a prestigious general in Liangzhou, who can be appointed, it does not mean that Wei Jun has no one to use.

"I have transferred Fu Gan, the prefect of Fufeng, with him in charge here, the general can deal with the Shu thieves with peace of mind."

Cao Wei's talent pool played a huge role at this moment.

Fu Gan's father, Fu Xie, was a well-known figure in the Yongliang generation. In terms of reputation alone, he absolutely beat Ma Chao.

During the Battle of Guandu, Fu Ganneng sent Ma Teng as an envoy, and with a few words, he frightened Ma Teng, who was planning to join forces with Yuan Shao, for a moment, and turned around to cooperate with Cao Cao to defeat Yuan Shao.

With him participating in the battle, it will be twice the result with half the effort, enough to deter Ma Chao.

Not to mention, Zhong Yao, who has been in Guanzhong for many years, is also a diehard of Cao Wei.

He promised to hand over his trilogy to Cao Zhen for use, and this time he had to drive Liu Chan out of Longyou no matter what.

And Sima Yi didn't reveal to Cao Zhen that he not only recruited Fu Gan, the prefect of Fufeng, but also recruited a great talent from Fufeng——

Ma Jun, who is known as a coincidence in the world!

He had already figured out that if the Han army occupied Jieting, with the help of Ma Jun, he would also have a way to break the city.

Seeing that Sima Yi was well prepared, Cao Zhen couldn't help but be overjoyed:

"Since that's the case, Junyi and Zhongda will command the army, and they will take back Longyou no matter what they say this time.

I'd like to see how capable Liu Chan is in competing with the Heavenly Soldiers. "

Cao Zhen directly awarded Zhang He and Sima Yi an army of [-]. Zhang He led [-] cavalry to go first, and Sima Yi supervised an army of [-] as the rear team.

At the same time, he also ordered people to pass on Guo Huai, so that Guo Huai must stand up,

If other forces loyal to Cao Wei in Longyou are willing to help the Wei army fight, Cao Zhen will not hesitate to reward them.

When Ma Chao occupied Longyou back then, it was because of the partnership of those clans in Longyou that Ma Chao had been severely injured before Xia Houyuan's army arrived.

If Guo Huai can reproduce the classics, Cao Wei still has a great chance of winning.

"This time, Liu Chan must be driven back!"

·

After Liu Chan returned from Chengji, he entered Ji County, the governing place of Tianshui.

The path he is taking now is temporarily the same as Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition,

At present, You Chu, the prefect of Longxi, is still fighting stubbornly. Wei Jun in Liangzhou heard that the Han army was coming, and he also marched from west to east under the leadership of Zhang Ji.

He was always paying attention to the battle at Jieting, and did not dare to relax in the slightest in the affairs of the various counties in Tianshui.

If they can stand firm in Longyou this time, they will be able to firmly hold the initiative of the war in their own hands, and those aristocratic families in the Central Plains will not dare to give Cao Pi their all.

But if not, the defense here will be greatly strengthened,

If I want to walk out of Qishan Road relatively easily like this time, I'm afraid it will not be easy.

In the past few days, he had interviewed a bunch of local nobles and listened patiently to their enthusiasm and loyalty to the great man.

Seeing the exaggerated performances of these people, Liu Chan wanted to laugh very much.

But now Liu Chan, who has experienced many battles, can still control his emotions well, and did not ask some embarrassing questions for everyone.

After questioning, Liu Chan learned that Wei Jun is still pursuing the policy of forcing widows to remarry, and they are playing more and more tricks.

In the past, officials in counties and counties could not find enough widows, so they robbed civilian women to make up the number, but now they directly fast-forwarded to the country again to send their wives——

Because of the successive years of wars since the time of Emperor Hanling, the underpopulation of Liangzhou and Yongzhou has become a normal situation.

The aristocratic families here are used to the life of the sky high and the emperor far away, and began to vigorously annex land to conceal the population, resulting in fewer males on the surface.

In order to change this situation, in the later period of the Hanzhong War, Cao Cao moved a large number of people from Wudu and Yinping in Yizhou to the north and entered Yongliang.

With so many people relocated, women naturally have to be divided up as materials,

Now that Liu Chan called, these Tianshui clans began to change their minds again.

They hinted to Liu Chan that when the big Han occupied Longyou, could they simply count the people from Wudu and Yinping who had been relocated as non-existent population and reward them to the Tianshui family.

If it is possible, these powerful families in Tianshui will definitely support the big man 100%, let them go east, let them go east, let them go west, go west.

Such an explicit request directly shocked Liu Chan to stand on the spot.

Although it is the nature of the family to conceal the annexation of the land and the population,

But when the court was strong, they would never dare to do so.

Even Liu Bei's Jingzhou and Yizhou aristocratic families were cautious when doing this kind of thing, and they never dared to put this matter on the table to arouse the anger of the court.

It seems that Yongliang has been the emperor of the sky for too long,

These people no longer know their surnames.

Liu Chan could have flirted with them for a while with a high EQ,

But he thinks that he is now the prince of a big man, a nail in his mouth,

If you make peace with them temporarily, it will be difficult to deal with them when you turn against them.

"The people of Wudu Yinping were forcibly conscripted here by the Cao bandits.

As the prince of the Han Dynasty, when the war is over, I must let them return to their homeland.

This matter cannot be discussed. "

Seeing that Liu Chan was so determined, the family of Tianshu didn't show affection at all, so they could only leave in resentment.

Yu Fan watched from the side, and also had some complaints about Liu Chan's performance.

"Prince, the enemy is at hand now,

It's the time to employ people, why don't you make false claims with these people, and repel Cao Jun first before making plans?

There are many powerful families in Tianshui, and the Jiang family and the Yang family are married to each other. The Jiang Wei that the prince wants to recruit is from the Jiang family.

If I turn against these people, I'm afraid... I'm afraid there will be difficulties in the future. "

Back then Ma Chao was beaten away by Cao Cao and once occupied Longyou, but he still had the strength to fight again.

But he only cared about contacting the Qianghu, and his relationship with the clans of Longyou was extremely bad.

Yang Fu of the Longyou family led his troops to occupy Ji County to resist Ma Chao for a long time.

After the city was broken, he pretended to submit to Ma Chao, but in fact he contacted Jiang Yin, Zhao Ang, Yin Feng, Yao Qiong, Kong Xin and other aristocratic families to lead their respective families to fight back and killed Ma Chao's family. Zhang Lu.

Of course, there are reasons why Ma Chao's low character is full of rogue habits,

But it can also be seen that the family of Tianshui is really powerful.

The brothers Yang Fu and Yang Yue of the Yang family were able to rely on their family's trilogy to defend Ji County alone when the whole of Longyou responded to Ma Chao (more popular than Zhuge Liang), and fought fiercely with Ma Chao for a long time.

Later when Cao Wei's reinforcements arrived, Yang Fu personally led the trilogy at home to fight fiercely with Ma Chao, and even made several face-to-face gestures with Ma Chao himself.

Because of the credit for pacifying Ma Chao, they now have 11 marquises,

This is a bunch of ho...

After beating Ma Chao so hard, Zhao Ang died at the hands of Huang Zhong with Xia Houyuan in Dingjun Mountain for the cause of Great Wei.

Is it too much to try so hard to hide the population, annex land, and pay less taxes?
