Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 195 Cao Mengde sent troops to Xuzhou

Like cockroaches, Zhang Yi disgusted Cao Cao.

Whenever Cao Cao wanted to attack the north, he would come out to make trouble.During the battle of Guandu with Yuan Shao, he rebelled!During the Battle of Cangting, he rescued Liu Bei!Now Cao Cao wanted to go north to Jizhou again, so he ran out to attack Xuzhou again.

This time, unlike the previous attack on Guangling, Zhang Yi actually plundered most of Xuzhou, and killed Zhang Zhao, Prime Minister of Xiapi, and Qin Song, Prime Minister of Lower Pi.Zhang Zhao and Qin Song came here together with Sun Fu. Although they couldn't be reused by Cao Cao, they were celebrities anyway. Zhang Yi killed them as soon as he said they would.This has seriously hit the dignity of the Han Dynasty. Zhang Zhao and Qin Song were appointed by the court.

Cao Cao wanted to send a general to repel Zhang Yi, but after thinking about it, it was not very reliable.Xia Houyuan was injured when he attacked Shouchun. Although the injury healed, it was enough to show that he was not Zhang Yi's opponent.Cao Ren was also defeated by Zhang Yi when he was in Runan. Although it was due to the lack of soldiers, Cao Cao will not send too many troops this time.

Cao Cao can only go by himself. If he still wants to attack Jizhou, he can only eliminate partial divisions, and he is destined to have no more soldiers than Zhang Yi.In the case of weak troops, neither Xia Houyuan nor Cao Ren is Zhang Yi's opponent.Then it is better not to send this partial division, but not sending troops to the past will only boost Zhang Yi's prestige.

Therefore, Cao Cao had no other choice. He could only give up attacking Jizhou and send troops to Xuzhou.

Cao Cao thought for a while and issued an order: "Let Xia Houyuan, Xu Huang, and Zhu Ling prepare troops, and Guo Jia and Xu You participate in military affairs. Order Zang Ba to go south to support Ling County!"

After Cao Cao issued the order, the entire national system began to operate. Ten days later, he summoned an army of [-] and some supplies, thinking about marching eastward.

Zhang Yi besieged Ling County and threw stones into the city every day, making people panic in the city.

Chen Deng had expected it, and he kept saying to the soldiers guarding the city and the people in the city: "Gong Cao will not let Zhang Yi do his evil deeds, and will definitely come to rescue us. Before Cao Gong's reinforcements arrived, we walked from Walk under the wall and try to hide inside the house so the rocks won’t hit us.”

What Chen Deng said made sense. After all, the stones thrown into the city were not very large. As long as they were well hidden, there was basically no threat.However, Chen Deng needed to appease the people in the city, and in the end he was hit by a stone, which hit one of his guards.

The guard knocked him down, and Chen Deng fell to the ground, twisting his foot.Chen Deng still didn't care about it, and insisted on patrolling the city every day, which made people in Ling County feel at ease.

Most of the people in Ling County immigrated from the south of Huai River, most of them were from Sheyang, and some were from Huaiyin, Huaifu and other places.Most of these people migrated to Ling County because they were unwilling to be notified by Zhang Yi and unwilling to leave their hometowns.

In mid-April, Zhang Yi had been besieging the city for more than half a month.Suddenly, I received a report from Ma Lai that a group of men and horses appeared in the north, under the banner of the Zang character, it should be Zang Ba of Langya.

Zang Ba is here, so Cao Cao should not be far away.Half of Zhang Yi's plan has been realized. What he has to do now is to deal with Zang Ba before Cao Cao comes.

Zhang Yi's troops in Ling County have increased to 2, and he called Li Jing: "Zang Ba's reinforcements have arrived, and there are about 5000 people. Take Master Shang and Tang He with you, and see if you can give Zang Ba Looking for trouble?"

Li Jing nodded, and immediately set up his headquarters, and took the army of Master Shang, Tang He, and a total of 6000 people to the north to stop Zang Ba.

Li Jing hid in the dark and constantly sent detective horses to investigate Zang Ba's movements.It turned out that Zang Ba was very cautious and only walked about ten miles every day, leaving no omissions for Li Jing.

Generally, when using troops, it is because of one's own negligence that others can take advantage of them.Anyone who knows how to use soldiers will find the omissions of others, and Li Jing is naturally the best among them.

However, omissions were exposed by others, Zang Ba did not make mistakes, and it was impossible for Li Jing to easily defeat him.Unless he chooses to attack by force, otherwise, he can only wait and wait for Zang Ba to make a mistake.

Li Jing took Master Shang and his disciples to inspect Zang Ba's camp. On the way back to the camp, he also admired Zang Ba's caution: "Zang Ba is not well-known, but he is so cautious. He is a general."

Tang He said: "Cao Cao put Zang Ba in Langya to resist the Yuan family. There must be some intentions. There is always a reason for Cao Cao's employment. Zang Ba can be reused by Cao Cao. He must be extraordinary."

Master Shang and his apprentice said nonchalantly: "General Li, I can raid into Zang Ba's camp and kill him."

Li Jing said with a smile: "General Shang, you can't blindly show courage in battle, the enemy will always give you away."

Master Shang said, "Don't we fight to be the first to fight?"

"That was when you were young. When you are old and weak, you will find that this is wrong." Li Jing said.

"At that time, it's time for me to die." Master Shang said, "I killed so many people, and I deserved to die on the battlefield."

"I don't want to die!" Li Jing said, "So don't think about such things, and wait for my order."

"Okay!" Master Shang was a little aggrieved, but he still obeyed the order.This is the result of Zhang Yi's military management. Military orders are not allowed to be violated, no matter who it is.For this reason, Zhang Yi did not hesitate to kick Shi Jin out of the military camp. Now Shi Jin has become a powerful man in Lujiang, but he still cannot return to the army.

Li Jing waited for the opportunity, and waited for another half a month. Zang Ba actually brought enough food and grass for more than half a month, and did not bring food from the rear once.

As a result, Cao Cao led the army to the territory of Xiapi, and Li Jing also received Zhang Yi's order to withdraw the troops.

Zhang Yi set up a large camp by the edge of Hongze Lake, relying on the water of the lake. It is half a road village and half a water village. It has been established for almost two months.

Cao Cao brought an army of [-], much more than Zhang Yi's army.Zhang Yi withdrew his troops from Ling County. He didn't want to compete with Cao Cao because he wanted to keep his troops to attack Jingzhou.

When Cao Cao arrived in Ling County, he called Zang Ba over and discussed the war with Chen Deng.

Chen Deng said: "When Zhang Yi sent troops, he sent people to attack Ling County, and I could only defend. But I have already sent people to notify the counties, but it was still a step too late."

Cao Cao said: "I have had people inspect Zhang Yi's marching route. He attacked Xiaxiang and Xiapi directly from Surabaya. Zhang Yi actually used the water army in Surabaya. It seems that I will build a water army too. , otherwise Xuzhou will never have peace."
