- As soon as Cao Cao retreated, the morale of the originally aggressive Chinese army suddenly dropped sharply. All the armies turned around and fled toward the camp in a chaotic manner with the Le Jin army that was collapsing in the face.
Tens of thousands of Cao's troops were pushed around, discarding their helmets and armor, and retreated in embarrassment toward the camp.
Behind him, the Chu army commanded by Yan Liang was chasing after them like tigers and wolves.
Cao Cao kept running all the way and finally escaped back to the camp.
He originally wanted to close the camp gate and order all the troops to stay in camp to repel the Chu army's attack. However, when he looked back, he saw the Chu army's forward clinging to the back of his defeated army and about to follow him. The defeated army rushed into the camp together.
Seeing such a critical situation, Cao Cao was completely frightened.
He no longer had the courage to hold on. As soon as he dismounted, he immediately remounted his horse. Under the escort of Xu Chu, he abandoned the camp and continued to retreat to the northwest.
As a result, tens of thousands of Cao's troops completely collapsed, and all the armies collapsed. They all abandoned their camps and fled westward with their Prime Minister Cao.
The army commanded by Yan Liang easily captured Cao Ying without any bloodshed.
After seizing the camp, Yan Liang was still not satisfied with the killing and continued to lead his troops to cover up the killing.
The frightened Cao Cao led his army to flee westward, first to Xin'an City, not daring to stay for a moment, and then fled for more than 300 miles in one breath until he reached Shaanxi County, an important town on the south bank of the Yellow River, which was under the jurisdiction of Hongnong County, before he entered the army. The fortified city could take a breather.
Yan Liang pursued Cao Cao for hundreds of miles, killing 10,000 Cao soldiers along the way, until he approached Shaanxi County. Considering that the logistics line was too long, he began to withdraw his troops.
Yan Liang left Zhu Huan to lead an army of ten thousand. He stationed in Xin'an and continued to exert power over Cao's army. Only then did he lead the victorious army. Also went to Luoyang.
In a few days, Yan Liang defeated Luoyang, captured Xiahou, defeated Cao Cao, and shocked Henan.
Luoyang City was defeated, and Xiahou Shang of Taigu Pass had no choice but to abandon the pass and lead his army to break through. As a result, they were surrounded by Yan Liang's superior troops, and there were almost a lot of casualties among the soldiers and horses. Xiahou Shang was even more beheaded by Pan Zhang.
Xiahou Shang's army was destroyed. Cao Xiu's troops stationed in Gong County were completely transformed into a lone army.
Cao Xiu Sheng was afraid that Yan Liang would lead his army to attack, so he had no choice but to lead his troops east to Hulao Pass. He chose to surrender to Liu Bei.
Taigu Pass is broken. The 40,000 Yingchuan troops commanded by Wen Chou and Xu Shu were able to successfully enter Luoyang and join the main force led by Yan Liang.
So far, the Chu army gathered in Luoyang has reached an unprecedented number of 160,000.
¡° Moreover, the route from Luoyang to Xudu was opened, and Yan Liang¡¯s grain and grass no longer needed to pass through the sea and the Yellow River. It took a long time to transport grain and grass to Luoyang, and the grain and grass only needed to be transported from Xudu in the south to Luoyang in the north.
Now spring plowing is around the corner. In order to alleviate the shortage of labor force in the rear area, after defeating Cao Cao, Yan Liang temporarily reduced his approximately 80,000 troops and returned to the south.
The reduction of troops was also to confuse Cao Cao, making him think that Yan Liang's purpose in this battle was only to capture Luoyang, and that he had no intention of taking advantage of the situation to destroy him.
Sure enough, after Yan reduced his troops, Cao Cao left Le Jin to lead 30,000 troops and station them in Shaanxi County, and ordered Xu Huang to lead 10,000 troops to station in Hedong County on the north bank of the Yellow River to the north of Hongjun to form a mutual response. .
Cao Cao himself led a group of remaining soldiers and retreated to Chang'an to recuperate.
But Cao Cao didn't know that Yan Liang's stand still was just a short rest. Under the surface calm, Yan Liang was already brewing the next strategy of attacking Hongnong from the west and entering Guanzhong.
Therefore, this time Yan Liang did not return to Yingtian as usual, but continued to station himself in Luoyang City in the name of appeasing people's hearts.
Not long after Yan Liang defeated Cao Cao, another victory came flying from the south.
This good news comes from Jiaozhou, thousands of miles away.
More than ten days ago, Wei Yan followed the instructions given by Yan Liang, broke into Jiaozhou from Lingling, and unexpectedly entered Cangwu County.
Cangwu prefect Wu Ju failed to respond and was killed by Wei Yan. Wei Yan's Southern Expedition Corps easily captured Cangwu and Yulin counties with almost no effort.
Just as Yan Liang expected, when Wu Ju died, the Tuhuang Shi clan in Jiaozhou were horrified and immediately expressed their willingness to submit to Da Chu.
Wei Yan followed Yan Liang's instructions and sent Shi's petition to Luoyang. At the same time, he seized the time to appease people's hearts and gathered food and grass. When the time was right, he turned his back and attacked the southern part of Jiaozhou ruled by Shi.
The battle in Jiaozhou went smoothly, which boosted the morale of Yan Liang and his civil and military personnel.
Yan Liangsui pretended to accept the surrender of the Shi clan, and announced that the Shi clan below Shi Xie would intermittently hold their original positions.
On the surface, Yan Liang appeased the Shi clan, but secretly sent someone to give Wei Yan a secret order, granting him the position of governor of the state, as well as the power of holiday, and ordered him to act according to the opportunity. As long as the time is right, he can take action against the Shi clan, and the soldiers The clan was eradicated in one fell swoop.
When Yan Liang was in Luoyang, sitting high in the royal court, reading the good news from Jiaozhou, a horseman set out from Puyang, passed through Jizhou, and went straight to Changli County in the far north of Youzhou.
At this time, Liu Bei's Eastern Expedition army had been besieging Liao Tunnel City for more than a month.
For a month, Liu Bei tried various methods, but he was still unable to break through the Liao River gate where Ma Dai was stationed.
At this time, spring has entered, the Liao River is gradually rising, and the rain is constant. Liu Bei and his army are stuck in the mud, and their vigor is gradually running out.
But in Xiangping City to the east of Liao River, Lu Meng was gathering troops and preparing for a counterattack.
"If it hadn't been for Yun Chang's disadvantage in defending Xuzhou, I would have captured Liaodong long ago. Why would we be in such a dilemma today?" Liu Bei rode through the muddy camp, glanced at the demoralized soldiers, and secretly complained to Guan Yu in his heart.
Seeing this, Sima Yi said from the side: "There is no spring rain now, and the land in Liaodong is muddy. This kind of weather is not conducive to conquering Liao. The minister felt that the plan for conquering Liao proposed by Kong Ming's military advisor was not considered enough. ¡±
While Zhuge Liang was not with Liu Bei, Sima Yi took the opportunity to tactfully criticize Zhuge Liang's strategy.
"After all, Kong Ming is just a native of Xuzhou. He doesn't know the weather in the north, so his plan is indeed somewhat appropriate." Liu Bei followed the trend and put the responsibility for the current predicament on Zhuge Liang.
Hearing this, Sima Yi's eyes moved and he said: "Now that the Liao River is rising sharply, there is little hope of capturing Liaodong. I think it is better to withdraw the troops to the Southern Division."
Liu Bei was shaken, his brows slightly furrowed, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Bei said bitterly: "If we fail to attack Liao today, we will be ridiculed by the Yan thief. Besides, the battle at Yan Cao in the south has not yet been decided. Even if I return south at this time, I will probably have nothing to do."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen arrived in a hurry and handed over a silk letter saying that it was an urgent report from Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei urgently reports!
Liu Bei was shocked, and he hurriedly took apart the silk book and took a closer look. It didn't matter. Liu Bei was immediately shocked and speechless.
Because Zhang Fei reported in an emergency report that Yan Liang had broken through Luoyang not long ago and captured Xiahou Dun alive. A few days later, he defeated Cao Cao and killed Cao Cao, who fled back to Hongnong in embarrassment. The entire Luoyang front line , almost all of it is owned by Yan Liang.
This news not only shocked Liu Bei, but also Sima Yi.
Liu Beiyuan also pointed out that Cao Cao could delay him for ten days and a half, and it would be best to delay him until Yan Liang's food and grass were close to him and his warriors were exhausted, then the winner could be decided.
Liu Bei never expected that Liu Bei could capture Luoyang in such a short period of time.
It was just a matter of capturing Luoyang, but Yan Liang actually captured Xiahou Dun alive. Even more incredible, he defeated Cao Cao's army in a few days.
Liu Bei racked his brains and couldn't figure out how Yan Liang did this miraculous thing.
"How is it possible? That Yan thief, how did he do it? It's incredible" Liu Bei muttered to himself, unable to restrain his horror at all.
At this moment, Sima Yi had recovered from the shock and said hurriedly: "Yan Liang has arrived in Luoyang, and the threat to our Hebei province has increased dramatically. Your Majesty, you can no longer stay here and return to Yecheng immediately."
The situation has reached this point, how can Liu Bei care about his face?
After thinking hard for a moment, Liu Bei had no choice but to bear the pain of his second failed expedition to Liao and issued an order to withdraw his troops.
¡¡
Chang'an, Imperial Palace.
In the imperial garden, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was looking at the spring scenery in the garden, in a daze.
"What is your majesty thinking about?" A soft voice came from behind, interrupting Liu Xie's thoughts.
Liu Xie looked back and saw a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes walking over with a smile on her face.
The person who came was none other than his queen, Fu Shou.
"What kind of distraction can I get? It's just that I'm bored." Liu Xie smiled bitterly.
Na Fushou stepped forward and walked hand in hand with Liu Xie by the Yuhu Lake. The two of them speeded up their pace intentionally or unintentionally, widening the distance between them and the palace maids and eunuchs behind them.
The ears and eyes are far away, it¡¯s time to speak.
Fu Shou put away the smile on his face and lowered his voice: "My father just sent me news, saying that King Yan Liang of Chu has captured Luoyang, and the traitor Cao has been killed."Returned defeated. "
Hearing the news, Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, then a gloating smile appeared on his lips.
Cao Cao represents the Han court. Cao Cao's failure represents the failure of the Han court and the failure of his emperor.
However, Liu Xie, who had been a puppet for many years, hated Cao Cao deeply and wished that someone could vent his anger on his behalf.
"Thief Cao deserves this. It's a pity that Yan Liang couldn't kill him." Liu Xie said bitterly.
Fu Shou glanced sideways and continued: "After my concubine's father finished Fu, he had discussed with several loyal veterans in private. He felt that your majesty could give Yan Liang a secret edict to march eastward to conquer Cao Cao, and your majesty could borrow Yan Liang's help." With your own hands, get rid of the Han thief Cao Cao."
Use Yan Liang¡¯s help to get rid of Cao Cao!
The queen's words were like a bolt of lightning, illuminating Liu Xie's dark mind and giving him some hope.
But immediately, Liu Xie's face showed worry again, and he said: "Although Yan Liang is powerful, I am afraid that if I get rid of a Cao Cao, Yan Liang will become the second Cao Cao."
