The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 10 Chapter 21: Dingtao County Liu Pan defends the enemy

Without Xun Zhen as an opponent, Cao Cao fully exerted his due ability on the battlefield, defeating the fox in one battle.

After defeating Lihu, he did not waste time in the Lihu County set up by Xunzhen. He just waited until Liu Ruo and his troops arrived one after another, and sent three thousand troops to Liu Ruo, telling him to go east along the Pushui and continue. Attack Zhencheng and other counties.

Before Liu Ruo set off, Cao Cao explained to him that if Zhencheng and other places can be easily captured, they will be captured. Just stay.

Liu Ruoxin took the lead and ordered his troops to leave.

Cao Cao and the rest of the main force rested for the night in Lihu County.

The next day, they crossed the Pu River with great fanfare and momentum and set off towards Dingtao County in the south-west.

Dingtao is about a hundred miles away from Hu County.

When Cao Cao arrived outside Dingtao County, Zhang Miao's troops, led by Zhang Miao himself, had also arrived at Dingtao City.

Dingtao County and Chenliu County are not directly adjacent to each other, but Jiyin County and Jiuju County are separated from each other.

Injustice and Dingtao are both on the north bank of Jishui, the two counties border, and the two counties are also about a hundred miles away.

This grievance sentence was originally the first place to attack after Zhang Miao led his troops out of Chenliu, but unlike Cao Cao's first battle to defeat the fox, Zhang Miao's troops surrounded the city of grievances and fought for more than a day, but they There was no advance in size, because after getting Cao Cao's military report that "the fox has been conquered", in order to join forces with Cao Cao as soon as possible to jointly attack the county seat of Jiyin County, and also their chief enemy in this battle, Dingtao, Zhang Miao obeyed Chen Gong's advice, and simply encircled the injustice for the time being and did not fight, leaving his younger brother Zhang Chao to lead some troops to surround it. Dingtao County.

Cao Cao's troops numbered 27,000 to 8,000 troops, and Zhang Miao's troops were more than 10,000 troops.

In this 40,000-foot cavalry, plus the troops sent by Yuan Shao, there are about 10,000 elite soldiers who can fight.

In turn, there were only about 3,000 defenders in Dingtao City.

Among the more than 3,000 people, hundreds of them were brought along by Pan Zhang when he escaped from Lihu.

The ratio of the strength of the enemy and our troops is about ten to one.

However, although it seems that there is a huge disparity, Liu Fu, the main defender of the city, is not very nervous.

Although Liu Fu was a scholar, he also knew the art of war and knew the way of battle formation. The art of war was clear, and he could be surrounded by ten. That is to say, ten times the strength was just enough to besiege the city; One part, but the guards have a city wall to rely on. For too long, Liu Fu dare not say that, relying on these more than 3,000 soldiers, and relying on this to defend the city wall for ten days and a half, Liu Fu still has a certain degree of certainty. .

He said to Pan Zhang privately: "Changyi is only a hundred miles away from my Dingtao. From hearing the news that my city is besieged, to gathering reinforcements, and then to my Dingtao, seven or eight days are enough.

"Xun Shijun and General Le are both knowledgeable and good at fighting. I expect that they will definitely send an army before the reinforcements are assembled, and they will rush to Jiyin to help me. Maybe it will come in three or four days. As long as you and I work together, not only will it not be difficult to keep Dingtao, but maybe we can also take this opportunity to make some contributions!"

Pan Zhang was ashamed and ashamed. His right shoulder was injured. After arriving in Dingtao County, he received medical treatment. Now he is hanging on his arm, and with his expression, it is surprisingly harmonious.

He said bitterly: "Cao Mengde sneaked up on me, causing me to fall into Lihu's fall. I am ashamed of Ming Gong's entrustment, how can I dare to ask for any credit? Take advantage of the situation to attack Lihu, to relieve my sin a little bit, that's enough!" He touched his left hand to his waist, touched the hilt of the sword, remembered the Puyang Baodao he had lost, and was even more indignant, gritted his teeth, and said, "The hidden arrow is wounded. My man, in the chaos of the war, I didn't see it clearly, I only saw him riding a good black horse and wearing red armor! When the next day will fight Cao Mengde decisively, Hugh asks me to find this man, if he is caught by me If you find it, I will kill it!"

Liu Fu was a scholar, and Pan Zhang was a child of a poor family, and their backgrounds were vastly different.

Liu Fu was full of poetry and books, and was highly knowledgeable, while Pan Zhang was rude, and only liked wine and gambling.

Regardless of his background or cultural accomplishment, Pan Zhang cannot be compared with Liu Fu.

In terms of age, Liu Fu is also much older than Pan Zhang.

Therefore, in fact, even Pan Zhang is now the prefect of a prefecture. Although it is said that Lihu County was set up by Xun Zhen, within the Xuzhou system, Lihu County and Jiyin County have the same status. Zhang seemed to be on an equal footing with Liu Fu, but Liu Fu didn't have much respect for Pan Zhang, he just regarded him as a warrior, and because of Pan Zhang's lack of vigilance, Lihu fell, and Dingtao County had to face Cao Cao directly. The siege of the two coalition forces of Zhang Miao and Zhang Miao made Liu Fu quite dissatisfied with Pan Zhangyu in his heart.

However, Liu Fu has a city government. Unlike ordinary scholars, he thinks highly of himself. He puts his contempt for warriors on his face. Therefore, on the surface, Liu Fu was quite respectful and polite to Pan Zhang.

Liu Fu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "With the power of the ruler of the government, if there is no plot, how can Cao general hurt you? It's not difficult for you to seek revenge. The armor can be worn, and it must be the general of Cao Ying. See you on the battlefield in the future. He will inevitably charge into the battle. At that time, it will be easy to identify him. When you go to seek his revenge, I will personally cheer for you!"

Pan Zhang gave a heavy "hum".

Liu Fu deliberately pretended to misunderstand, and said, "What? Which of my words was wrong, did it make you unhappy?"

Pan Zhang hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "How dare you! Zhang is not because of what the public said, but when he thinks of that Cao general, his anger is unbearable!" Recalling the fierce battle under the city cave that day, he said, "If it were not that Cao Cao I will be able to expel all the Cao soldiers who will injure me and break into my city gate, and I will not fall into Lihu County in a hurry!"

Liu Fu comforted him and said, "As I said just now, the reinforcements from Xun Shijun and General Le will arrive in a few days. When the reinforcements arrive, let's kill Lihu again!"

As a military officer of the school captain, Pan Zhang stood out from the many school captains under Xun Zhen's account because he was from Dongjun, and was able to serve as the prefect of Lihu. At the beginning of his appointment, he was very proud. But he never thought that Lihu was attacked by Cao Cao after being the prefect for a few days. His mood at this moment was both remorse and apprehension.

The regret is that he should not be careless; the uneasy is that he does not know how Xun Zhen will punish him.

However, because of Liu Fu's kind words and kind words, he was relieved, and Pan Zhang's mood was stabilized.

After Cao Cao and Zhang Miao joined forces, they attacked the city the next day.

Liu Fu and Pan Zhang worked together, Liu Fu was in charge of logistics, and Pan Zhang was in charge of defending the battle. The two cooperated tacitly to defend against enemy attacks.

...

But it said Shanyang County, Changyi County, and the prefecture.

In just two days, Xun You received the four military reports.

The first military report was sent by the officials sent by Pan Zhang, the prefect of Lihu, saying that Lihu was attacked by Cao Cao's soldiers and had already fallen.

The second military report was sent by Liu Fu, the prefect of Jiyin, saying that Jiyin County's Jiuju County was attacked by Zhang Miao's troops.

The third and fourth military newspapers were both delivered not long ago.

The third military report was sent by Sun Jian's people, saying that Zhang Miao sent troops to attack Liang, reminding Xun You that his intention was probably Jiyin.

The fourth military report, still sent by Liu Fu, said that the main forces of Cao Cao and Zhang Miao had already arrived outside Dingtao County and launched a siege on Dingtao.

When he received the first two military newspapers yesterday, Xun You invited Le Jin to discuss countermeasures with Le Jin.

Today, I received two military reports from Sun Jian and Liu Fu one after another. Sun Jian's military report was nothing but Liu Fu's military report, but the military situation was on fire. Xun You immediately sent people to Changyi, the same place. The prefecture in the county, please enter the city to discuss.

Xun You waited in the hall for less than half an hour when the armor sounded outside. He looked up and saw that Le Jin had already arrived.

Although Le Jin has the rank of the prefect of Shanyang, his main job is to lead troops, in other words, he is Xun You's lieutenant in the military, so he rarely wears the official uniform of the prefect, and most of the time he is still in armor.

"Wen Qian, these are the two military newspapers that Sun Yuzhou and Liu Yuanying sent to the prefecture. Take a look."

After welcoming Le Jin to the hall, after the two of them took their seats, Xun You didn't talk nonsense, got straight to the point, and directly reported the two troops of Sun Jian and Liu Fu to Le Jin.

Le Jin first read Liu Fu's military newspaper, and after reading it, he briefly read Sun Jian's military newspaper.

After reading the two military newspapers, Le Jin returned it to Xun You and said, "Unfortunately, Sun Yuzhou's military newspaper arrived a step late! If it had arrived two days earlier, Lihu County would not have been easily lost."

Xun You did not say much on this topic, but only added a couple of sentences, and immediately said: "Wen Qian, Dingtao County is now besieged by the combined forces of Dong County and Chenliu County. The number of soldiers is no less than 30,000 to 40,000, and the guards in the city are only more than 3,000. Caodong County is a good warrior, and its soldiers are far more numerous than my guards in Dingtao. In my opinion, our army cannot wait for each battalion. The soldiers are gathered together, but they should immediately send a group of troops to Jiyin to help first! ...Wen Qian, what do you think I mean?"

Yesterday, after receiving the military report that Lihu had fallen and the injustice was besieged, Xun You and Le Jin, after discussing it, have made a plan to "call the soldiers of each battalion immediately to help Jiyin as soon as possible", and call all the counties in Shanyang to be stationed there. The order for the soldiers, and the soldiers and horses of Rencheng and Dongping to come to Changyi to meet up has also been conveyed~www.readwn.com~ and the army report to Xunzhen has also been sent out for urgent assistance, but the plan cannot keep up with the changes, Only one day later, Dingtao was besieged. Dingtao was the county seat of Jiyin County. It was only a hundred miles away from Changyi to the east. Then help Jiyin, but must send a capable army to Jiyin now, at least, if this is done, it can play a role in appeasing Dingtao Shouzu.

Le Jin was very agreeable to Xun You's emergency response, nodded and said, "It's right to make your words reasonable."

Xun You pondered for a while, then asked, "Wen Qian, since you agree with my opinion, what do you think should be sent to this advance force?"

Without hesitation, Le Jin said, "Gao Su and Feng Gong are also good."

"Why?"

"Gao Su and Feng Gong's troops are now in the big camp outside Changyi County, and they can be dispatched at any time. This is one of the reasons why they can be dispatched; Gao Su is brave and Feng Gong is serious. Going to help, I and the envoy can rest assured, this is the second reason; the soldiers of Gao Su and Feng Gong’s troops are mostly children of Yingchuan, well-trained, and brave in battle, this is the third reason.”

Xun You actually considered sending Gao Su and Feng Gongxian to lead their headquarters to help. Hearing Le Jin's analysis, he clasped his hands and said, "Wen Qian, I see the same as Qing! Su and Feng Gong will lead the team to set off tomorrow morning!"

Gao Su and Feng Gong are now Le Jin's direct subordinates, and the army ordered Le Jin to go down.

Le Jin Bento Church wrote an order, and immediately sent someone to send it to Gao Su and Feng Gong, and taught them to come to the prefecture immediately when they received the order.
