- Late winter has arrived, and the weather is getting colder.
From the beginning of autumn to the end of winter, the Chu army besieged Liyang City for five months.
After five months of suffering, the food and grass in Liyang City was already running low. The daily rations for the sergeants were less than half of the usual, while the rations for the common people were not even one-third of the usual.
With the lack of food and grass and the freezing cold in the city, the morale of the Han soldiers quickly fell to the bottom, and there were secret complaints in the army.
As for the people in the city, they were even more miserable. Countless people froze to death and starved to death. Countless people sold their children and daughters in exchange for a mouthful of food.
The siege of the Chu army still did not relax. Yan Liang had made up his mind that even if it took forever, Guan Yu must be killed in the city this time.
Liyang was besieged for a long time, and the Chu army refused to retreat, which made Liu Bei in Anyang sleepless and uneasy.
Liu Bei originally thought that Yan Liang would retreat to the Central Plains after besieging the city for two or three months, but he did not expect that Yan Liang was so determined that he did not show any sign of retreating after five months of siege.
Liu Bei estimated that the supply of food and grass in Liyang City was approaching, so he could no longer sit back and watch, and had to take action.
It was late winter, and Liu Bei, who had been stationary for five months, finally began to take action.
Liu Bei personally led an army of 70,000 people from Anyang to Dangyin City, which is thirty miles north of Liyang. Afterwards, Liu Bei sent Tai Shici and Zhang Xiu out with light cavalry in an attempt to attack the Chu army's grain camp.
Yan Liang was well prepared for this. Wen Chou and Zhao Yun each led their divine cavalry to closely protect the grain roads and thwarted several attacks by the Han army.
Dang Yin, the Han army's imperial tent.
Liu Bei stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the map hanging on the screen, listening to Chen Dao's report on the latest military situation, his gray face became more and more gloomy.
Taishi Ci¡¯s attack on the grain camp failed, and Zhang Xiu¡¯s attack on the grain road was defeated by Wen Chou. All the information I heard was a failure.
Liu Bei remained silent, his fists clenched tightly and his joints crackling.
The generals on the left and right remained silent, knowing that Liu Bei was secretly angry and did not dare to take a breath.
Liu Bei turned around suddenly, his annoyed gaze directed towards Zhuge Liang.
There was some kind of complaint in his eyes.
Zhuge Liang was steadfast in his promise at the beginning. This was designed to use Li Yang to lure the enemy, but as a result, Li Yang's supplies were approaching and the city's fall was imminent, but the Chu army had no intention of retreating. The southern gate leading to Yecheng is about to fall.
Liu Bei, who had nothing to do, naturally blamed Zhuge Liang for offering this plan.
How could Zhuge Liang not feel Liu Bei's resentment? Although he was still shaking the feather fan in his hand, he was quite anxious in his heart.
"Prime Minister, my strategies to defend against the enemy are all based on your strategies. Now that the situation is like this, Prime Minister, please tell me, what should I do?" Liu Bei asked coldly.
"Well" Zhuge Liang coughed dryly, as if he was at a loss for what to do. I had to cough to cover it up.
While coughing, Zhuge Liang's eyes kept scanning the map, as if he was trying to find a solution to the current problem.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. It was like a sudden realization.
Immediately, the corners of Zhuge Liang's mouth rose slightly. A mysterious smile flashed across his face.
The coughing suddenly stopped, and when Zhuge Liang straightened up, his face was full of confidence, and he smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Liang has a plan to make the Chu army retreat without a fight."
Liu Bei's expression perked up, and his original expression of complaint suddenly turned to joy.
"What good advice does the Prime Minister have?" Liu Bei asked impatiently.
Zhuge Liang gently shook his feather fan and explained his plan in a leisurely manner, with no concealment of the confidence and pride between his brows.
After listening to Zhuge Liang's plan, not only Liu Bei, but also the other generals in the tent were all inspired.
The excited Liu Bei jumped on the map in a few steps, glanced around, and couldn't help but nodded slightly, obviously convinced by Zhuge Liang's plan.
"Wonderful, the prime minister's plan is very clever. He will definitely catch the Yan thief by surprise." Liu Bei clapped his hands and applauded Zhuge Liang's plan.
At this time, a man from the tent came out and said with emotion: "I am willing to lead an army to implement the Prime Minister's plan for Your Majesty."
Liu Bei looked back and saw that the man asking for battle was none other than General Cao Ren.
Cao Ren¡¯s face couldn¡¯t help but be generous and filled with the flames of revenge. Obviously, this remaining general of the Cao family couldn¡¯t wait to avenge the destruction of his Cao family.
Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and asked for his opinion. Zhuge Liang nodded slightly to show his agreement.
?"Okay, if you have a filial son to ride out, this battle will be won!" Liu Bei became energetic and immediately said: "I will give you 10,000 elite cavalry. We will set out tonight. This plan must be implemented within three days."
Cao Ren was overjoyed and said sternly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will go all out to force the Yan traitor to withdraw from the territory of our Han Dynasty."
Liu Bei issued a tiger talisman on the spot and ordered Cao Ren to lead 10,000 troops and leave at night.
After the order was issued, Cao Ren led his army to leave, and Liu Bei's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
Liu Bei stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the target place with raised eyes, and sneered: "Yan Thief, aren't you good at making surprises? Then I will make a surprise once and give you a big surprise, haha~~"
Thirty miles away, Chu camp.
A cloud and rain had passed, and Yan Liang was lying on the couch with his back stretched out, his muscles crisscrossed and soaked with sweat.
Guan Feng, who was dripping with sweat, was lying on Yan Liang's chest, panting heavily. His pretty face was already covered with sweat.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is outside asking for an audience." Zhou Cang's voice came from outside the tent.
"I have business to deal with, please step aside first." Yan Liang said, and slapped Guan Feng's buttocks hard.
Guan Feng snorted, blushed and lay down on the bed, hurriedly put on her clothes neatly, straightened out her messy hair, and then she was blessed and left.
Yan Liang put on a rough shirt, drank wine to quench his thirst, and called Pang Tong in.
A moment later, Pang Tong walked into the imperial tent. Seeing Yan Liang dressed so casually, and remembering the peach blossom look on Mrs. Guan's face just now, he knew what happened in the imperial tent just now, and he couldn't help but smile.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Pang Tong said with a smile.
Yan Liang saw that he was smiling strangely, so he disapproved and said, "It's freezing cold today, so of course I have to warm myself up. If the Prime Minister is also cold, I can give him some beauties so that he can also warm up."
Yan Liang and Pang Tong started Pang Tong.
"My fragile body cannot bear it. I can only accept your Majesty's kindness." Pang Tong laughed at himself.
Yan Liang laughed loudly and motioned for Pang Tong to come forward and speak.
Yan Liang personally poured Pang Tong a cup of hot wine to ward off the cold, and asked, "The prime minister is here in a hurry to see you. There must be something important."
"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I just feel a little suspicious about the recent movements of the Han army." Pang Tong said while drinking.
Suspicious?
Yan Liang frowned slightly and signaled Pang Tong to continue.
Pang Tong said: "Since Qian Fan Zilong defeated Zhang Xiu's raid on the grain road, the Han army in Dangyin has completely shrunk and has never made any move to harass our Liyang army. News was also released in the Han camp that Liu Bei had given up understanding Liyang. After the siege, he planned to withdraw his troops back to Yecheng. Moreover, Cao Ren had already led an army to evacuate first. I felt that Liu Bei's move was quite suspicious. "
Liyang is the gateway to Jizhou. Once Liyang is lost, the army of Chu can march northward and take Yecheng directly. Now that Guan Yu has not exhausted his food and grass, how can Liu Bei really give up Liyang until the last moment.
How could Yan Liang not know this?
After thinking for a moment, Yan Liang said: "In the opinion of the Prime Minister, Liu Bei spread the word about withdrawing to Yecheng in order to deliberately confuse our army. There must be a conspiracy secretly?"
"That's right." Pang Tong nodded heavily, "And I feel that Liu Bei's trick fell on Cao Ren's army."
Pang Tong revealed his final suspicion.
Yan Liang sat up suddenly, his lazy spirit suddenly tense.
Liu Bei has 70,000 troops in Dangyin, and their strength is far inferior to that of Yan Liang. Even if he wants to withdraw his troops, he should withdraw with all his troops to avoid weakening his troops and being defeated by Yan Liang's attack.
But now, Liu Bei asked Cao Ren to lead his army to retreat first. On the surface, it seemed reasonable, but in fact, it was unreasonable.
Unless, Cao Ren's army was intended to retreat to Yecheng, but it actually had another purpose.
"Then where does the Prime Minister think Cao Ren's troops are planning to attack?" Yan Liang's tone also became solemn.
Pang Tong stood up, came to the screen, pointed his finger at a point on the map, "I think Cao Ren and his army must attack here."
Yan Liang's eyes followed Pang Tong's hand, his expression moved slightly, he stared for a moment, and then he smiled.
"This must be Zhuge Liang's plan for Liu Bei. If Cao Ren really succeeds, I will indeed have to withdraw my troops." Yan Liang sneered.
Pang Tong said calmly: "After thinking about it, Liu Bei has nothing to do butIf there is no other way to solve Liyang's danger, I come here just to remind His Majesty that he must be on guard. "
Yan Liang nodded slightly and immediately shouted: "Here comes someone, tell Zhao Zilong to come quickly."
Three days later, south of Dunqiu City.
Under the setting sun of dusk, the hurried Han army was rushing south on the desolate road.
Cao Ren galloped on his horse, marching at the front of the team, his face was as serious as iron, and his eyes sometimes flashed with the anger of revenge.
While running, Cao Ren's mind often recalled his grief and anger when he heard that Cao Cao committed suicide, heard that Cao Pi was hanged alive, and heard that the Cao family was wiped out.
"Yan Thief, I want revenge. I, Cao Ren, want to avenge the Cao family~~" Cao Ren secretly gritted his teeth and vowed loudly.
The army of 10,000 people marched non-stop. When night fell, they finally stopped advancing.
Ahead is the Yellow River.
Cao Ren reined in his horse and stood on the bank, looking at the frozen river, his eyes flashing with excitement.
His eyes crossed the Yellow River, and from a distance, he could vaguely see a majestic city, looming in the twilight of the setting sun.
Cao Ren could not help but feel a look of solemnity and pride on his face.
With the sword raised, Cao Ren shouted sternly: "The whole army kicks the ice across the river and follows my general to capture Puyang City!" - Didn't finish reading?
