    Yinping City fell?  !

    A big question mark suddenly flashed in Cao Cao's mind. Even as resourceful as Cao Cao, he couldn't believe it at this moment. How did Yan Liang's army cross his defense line and attack Yinping City at the rear like a divine army descending from the sky.

    Could it be that Yan Jun has wings?

    Not only Cao Cao, but also great wise men such as Guo Jia and Xun You could not figure it out for a moment.

    "How can Yan Liang, a dog thief, attack Yinping? How is this possible?" Cao Cao asked in shock.

    Liu Ye had a sullen face and said silently: "Prime Minister, Yan Thief sneaked across the 700-mile Yinping Trail and suddenly appeared at the top of Yinping City. Yang Huai and Gao Pei were caught off guard, and the enemy generals Ma Dai and Deng  If Ai cuts it off, Yinping City will fall."

    Sneaking across the Yinping Trail?

    There is a small road in Yinping that leads to the middle of Sichuan?

    Cao Cao was surprised and confused. Suddenly, he realized that he had made a huge mistake. He had underestimated the complex terrain in Shu and did not fully understand it.

    And it was this moment of underestimation that allowed Yan Thief to seize the opportunity and take advantage of the loophole.

    "Quick, go and invite Yan Zimao." Cao Cao shouted.

    That Yan Zimao was Yan Pu and was originally Zhang Lu's counselor. After Zhang Lu surrendered, Yan Pu also surrendered to Cao Cao and was granted the title of lord.

    Originally, Cao Cao did not attach much importance to Zhang Lu, the magic stick, and his subordinates. Apart from the superficial rewards, they actually did not use them seriously.

    But now, Cao Cao had to use Yanpu, because the fall of Yinping made him realize that he was in urgent need of a wise man who was familiar with the terrain of Yizhou.  Yanpu, who has lived in Hanzhong for a long time, is the best choice.

    Not long after, Yan Pu hurried in.  Greetings.

    "Zimao, I want to ask you, is there a Yinping trail that can lead directly to the middle of Shu?" Cao Cao asked impatiently.

    "There is indeed such a trail, which can bypass the dangers of Jiameng and Jiange from Yinping City and go straight to Jiangyou City. However, the terrain of this 700-mile trail is extremely dangerous. There is also a Ferris Ridge that is difficult for birds to cross. Usually there are only some mountains  People just leave once in a while.¡±

    After hearing Yan Pu¡¯s answer, Cao Cao was convinced.  Anger and annoyance surged between his brows.

    "This government knows that Ma Dai, a remnant of Xiliang, is this Deng Ai?" Cao Cao turned to Liu Ye.

    Liu Ye said: "Returning to the Prime Minister, it is said that this Deng Ai is Yan Liang's adopted son. He is just a teenager. But this boy is extremely skilled in martial arts, and Gao Pei was killed by him."

    Yan Liang actually sent a teenage boy to sneak into Yinping, carried out this dangerous strategy, captured the city of Yinping, and killed Cao Cao's generals.

    For Cao Cao, this was simply a public humiliation.

    Cao Cao was furious and said angrily: "The Yan thief has gone too far. He actually dared to let the fake son kill my general and pass on the orders of my house. Quickly summon me, Huang Xu'er, to help in the battle and tell him to see how powerful my son of the Cao family is."  "

    Huang Xuer, as Cao Zhang, has always been brave and brave.

    Now that Cao Cao heard that Yan Liang had used a teenage adopted son to achieve such great success, he was angry and wanted to call his son Cao Zhang to show his power and resist.

    When Cao Cao was angry, all the counselors did not dare to say anything and could only let Cao Cao lose his temper.

    Seeing that Cao Cao's anger was almost vented, Guo Jiacai advised: "Prime Minister, Yinping City is the main road leading to Longxi. Now it was attacked by the Yan thieves' deceitful envoys. We must take it back as soon as possible. Otherwise, our food road will be cut off all the way, and we will be attacked later."  Threats, the situation will be unfavorable.¡±

    "What Fengxiao said is absolutely true. Although the bandits attacked Yinping, they only had a few thousand soldiers and no backup. The prime minister only needs to mobilize more than ten thousand troops. Within a few days, I believe that we will be able to recapture Yinping and destroy this place."  Ban thief army." Xun You also added.

    At this time, Yan Pu, who had been listening quietly and unaware of the inside story, finally understood what was going on. When he learned that Yan Liang had secretly attacked Yin Ping, Yan Pu was also shocked. He was secretly shocked that Yan Liang had such courage and resourcefulness.

    While marveling, Yan Pu suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly: "Prime Minister, although Yinping City is not very strong, the Yinping Bridge downstream is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If it is attacked by Yan's army, it will only need more than a thousand people to defend it.  Even if our army has 100,000 troops, it will be difficult to break through. Pu believes that we should send troops immediately to reinforce Yinping Qiaotou before Yan's army."

    After being reminded by Yan Pu, Cao Cao was shocked again, and immediately ordered Cao Xiu to lead 10,000 troops and horses, quickly go north to reinforce the Yinping Bridge and further seize Yinping City.

    Cao Xiu led his army to leave, and Cao Cao felt a lot more at ease. He just calmed down and waited patiently for the good news about Cao Xiu.

    However, after waiting for a day and a night, CaoCao didn't wait for the good news that Yinping was recovered, but he waited for the bad news that the Yinping bridgehead had been lost.

    It turns out that after Deng Ai and Ma Dai captured Yinping City, they divided their forces. Ma Dai led 3,000 soldiers and horses to guard Yinping City, while Deng Ai led 2,000 elite troops and headed south along the Baishui River that day, heading straight for the Yinping Bridge.

    Although Yinping Qiaotou is a strategic location, because it is located inside Cao Tong District and far away from the battle between Jiameng and Jiameng, its defense is even emptier than that of Yinping City.

    Like a divine soldier descending from heaven, Deng Ai suddenly appeared at the head of the Yinping Bridge. Several hundred defenders collapsed without a fight. Deng Ai captured the dangerous bridgehead without any bloodshed.

    Deng Ai, who attacked the bridgehead, immediately ordered his soldiers to reinforce it day and night and rush to build fortifications.

    The next day, when Cao Xiu led an army of 10,000 people and rushed to Yinping Bridge after a long journey, Deng Ai had already secured all the dangerous positions.

    Cao Xiu was surprised and immediately launched a fierce attack to recapture the bridgehead.

    However, the Yinping Bridge is narrow and can only accommodate a few people. Cao Xiukong has an army of 10,000 people, but he cannot take advantage of his numerical advantage. Yan Jun only needs to use strong bows and crossbows to block Cao Jun from passing through Yinping.  bridge.

    After a one-day fierce attack, Cao Xiu paid the price of more than a thousand casualties, but still could not recapture the Yinping Bridge. In desperation, he could only send Pegasus to inform Cao Cao.

    If Cao Cao was just shocked by the news that Yan Jun sneaked into Yinping before, then now, the news of the Yinping bridgehead being captured made Cao Cao panic.

    Cao Cao was frightened not only because a grain road was cut off and his flanks were threatened, but also because Longxi was currently empty of troops. If the Yan army in Yinping took advantage of the situation and went north to attack the counties in Longxi, the consequences would be disastrous.

    Because Yinping¡¯s Yan will be none other than Ma Dai.

    The Ma family has great appeal in Xiliang. If Ma Dai leads his army to Longxi and raises his arms, it is not impossible that the Qiang Han people in Xiliang will respond.

    During the introduction, Longxi was lost, Xiliang was shaken, and the whole of Guanlong would be threatened.

    At this time, Cao Cao truly realized how vicious Yan Liang's plan to sneak into Yinping was.

    Cao Cao was helpless, so he could only send more troops to Cao Xiu, and ordered him to attack Yinping Qiaotou day and night. At the same time, he sent people from Wudu to Longxi, and ordered the counties in Longxi to stand ready to prevent Yinping's Yan army from moving north.

    ¡­¡­

    The atmosphere at Jiameng Pass was boiling.

    The news that Deng Ai sneaked into Yinping, attacked Yinping City, captured Yinguan Bridge, and held Cao Xiu's 10,000-strong army has already spread to Guanzhong.

    There was a fire in Cao Cao¡¯s backyard. This news was enough to cheer up the entire army.

    In the palace, the civil and military officials were also excitedly discussing the miraculous feats Deng Ai and Ma Dai had accomplished together.

    "I didn't expect that the young general, so young and promising, would be so accomplished. Not only did he successfully attack Yinping, but he was also able to personally kill the enemy general Gao Pei. He is truly worthy of being a tiger father without a dog son." Zhang Song couldn't help but admired.

    All the civil and military officials also agreed and were full of praise for Deng Ai.

    Yan Liang had previously insisted on using Deng Ai to implement this plan. Although the counselors did not dare to object, privately they were not very optimistic about Deng Ai. They believed that the key to the success of this plan lay in Ma Dai's command before the battle.

    But what surprised everyone was that Deng Ai was not only the first to board Yinping City, but also personally killed Gao Pei, and then led two thousand troops to block Cao Xiu's army that was five times larger.

    In this plan of sneaking into Yinping, Deng Ai really became the protagonist.

    While the counselors looked at Deng Ai with admiration, they naturally admired Yan Liang even more. They admired Yan Liang's ability to recognize people and his courage in using them.

    Everyone was sighing secretly. If it were them, they would not have the courage to use a young general like Deng Ai to complete such an important task.

    "With the fall of Yinping, people in Cao's camp must have been shaken. Lord, it's time for us to take action." Fazheng said with enthusiasm.

    Yan Liang was silent, the murderous aura in his eyes burning like fire.

    There was a hint of sinister murderous intention at the corner of his mouth, and Yan Liang's expression was one of determination.

    He stood up in excitement, looked around at the excited generals, and said sternly: "Thief Cao has been attacking the pass for several months, and I can't stand him anymore. I'm going to pass on the order. From tomorrow onwards, all the armies will follow the plan. Gu will let Thief Cao stay up all night."  Uneasy!¡±

    "Promise!" The excited generals responded in unison.

    The order was passed, and at dawn the next day, Yan Liang's counterattack began.

    Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Zhang Ren, Zhu Huan, Yan Yan and other fierce generals each led their troops outside the pass and launched rounds of harassing wars against Cao Jun.

    The armies are divided into three parts from the south, west and east, day and nightThey kept pretending to attack Cao's camp. If Cao's army advanced, Yan's army would retreat. If Cao's army retreated, Cao's army would advance.

    Yan Liang wanted to use this "rogue" tactic to add another layer of frost to the shaken Cao army.

    Yinping fell, the bridgehead could not be attacked repeatedly, and the transportation of grain and grass began to fail. Coupled with the Yan army outside the camp, it was a harassing battle without rest.

    Under the multiple tortures, the Sixty-seventh Cao Army in front of Jiameng Pass were rapidly losing their warriors, and their military morale was becoming increasingly uneasy.

    And what Yan Liang has to do is to set up a case at Guanchengtou, taste a pot of wine and a few pots of side dishes, and sit and watch his troops harass Cao's camp like a cat playing with a mouse.

    While Yan Liang was leisurely tasting wine, Cao Cao was frowning in Cao Ying's tent and did not think about food or tea.

    It was already night, and when he heard the loud gongs and drums shouting for death outside the stronghold, Cao Cao felt a deep disgust in his heart. This disgust made him have no appetite at all.

    Just when Cao Cao was helpless, Guo Jia suddenly stepped forward in front of the tent, cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, I expect that Yan Liang's move is just to force our army to withdraw. Jia thought, why doesn't the Prime Minister use his plan to defeat Yan Liang?"  ¡±
