Chapter 218
It was late at night, and Cao Cao was still reading under the lamp. This new book is so good that with the help of the lights of the stars, you can see it clearly, and the previous bamboo simple, even in the daytime, some engraved fonts are not clear.
He now somewhat regretted his reckless behavior in Xiangyang, and how good it would be if he didn't send someone to kill Liu Jun, make him an official like everyone else, and let him be a scholar under his command!
"Liu Chengguang, Liu Chengguang, if you can give up competing for world domination, I can marry my daughter to you and let you enjoy full glory and wealth from now on!" said Cao Cao silently in his heart.
"Report to Wang Ye, General Cao Zhen asks for a meeting!" just then, a guard said outside the study.
"What, Zidan..." Cao Cao heard Cao Zhen's request for a meeting, a little surprised, isn't Cao Zhen guarding Dongling Pass? Why is he back now?" "Let him in
!" "No
!" "Lord, the last general is guilty!" Cao Zhen almost rushed in from outside, covered in blood, embarrassed, "plopped", and knelt in front of Cao Cao, "Lord, the last general lost the East Lingguan..."
"What, Dongling Pass is lost?" Cao Cao already had some bad feelings just now, but after listening to Cao Zhen's words, he was still surprised, "Dongling Pass is dangerous, you have five thousand soldiers and horses, how can you lose it?"
"Lord..." Cao Zhen did not hide anything at all, and carefully told Cao Cao what happened.
"Alas..." Cao Cao sighed after hearing this, according to the situation at that time, Cao Zhen's approach was not wrong, it must be a matter of great importance to the Tiger Prison Pass, and the Han army did not have many soldiers and horses, who would have thought that they would still have a cavalry?
Lord, I don't know the specific situation, I only know that Liu Jun's army is pressing the realm and is attacking, and the tiger prison is in danger!" "
Come, quickly summon Jia Xu, Liu Ye, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun, Xun Fu and others, and immediately go to the palace!"
Cao Cao explained the situation briefly, and everyone's faces were filled with shock and panic.
Chen Qun first said, "Dongling Pass is related to the safety of Yuzhou, and Tiger Pass is related to the safety of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and these two places cannot be lost!"
"Gongda, what do you think?" asked Xun Fu from Cao Cao.
"Lord, the 30,000 army has already lost the tiger pass. The reason why he didn't get the news may be that Liu Wei did it intentionally!" "
Lost?" Cao Cao looked at Liu Ye and Jia Xu.
Neither of them spoke, obviously in line with Xun Yu's thoughts.
"General Cao Xiu is brave and resourceful, and the tiger prison is difficult and dangerous, right?" Chen Qun was a little incredulous.
"Changwen, in the Han army, Pang Tongfa is as deep as the sea, Liu Jun is good at surprising soldiers, and General Cao Xiu is easy to fall for the other party's schemes. Liu Ye said lightly.
"Wen He, what do you think?" "
Master, the ghost pawn did not receive news of Dongling Pass and Tiger Prison Pass, and his subordinates thought that Tiger Prison Pass had been breached, and it was Liu Wei who deliberately blocked the news.
"Are you saying that Liu Jun is attacking Shuishui Pass?" Cao Cao shook his head, he still didn't want to believe it, "It's impossible! Although Zilie only has five thousand soldiers and horses, he can at least guard the Tiger Prison for half a month!"
"Present it quickly!"
the soldier handed over the
letter, and Cao Cao opened it to see that it was indeed Zhang Hao's distress letter.
"Lord..." Cheng Yu saw that Cao Cao's hand was shaking a little, and asked carefully, "General Zhang Hao..."
"Liu Jun Xiaoer, is leading his army to attack
Xianshui Pass!" "Wen He is right, the Tiger Prison Pass has been lost, and the Shuishui Pass is also in danger!" Liu Ye was a little alarmed, "Lord, you should make a decision immediately and rush to the aid of Xianshui Pass!"
Ma gave an order, Cao Hong led an army of 10,000 to rush to the aid of Xianshuiguan!" said Cao Cao loudly.
"No!" the herald immediately went to give the order.
"Master, Baima, Guandu, and Chen Liu should send heavy troops to guard it!" added Jia Xu.
"Baima, Guandu, Chen Liu..." Hearing these three places, Cao Cao looked puzzled, Chen Qun and Cheng Yu were a little sullen, and Liu Ye and Xun Yu showed nervous expressions on their faces.
"Wen He is talking about Yuzhou..." Cheng Yu finally understood.
"Dongling Pass is lost, Yuzhou is a horse Pingchuan, according to General Cao Zhen, Zhao Yun has seven or eight thousand cavalry under his command, and it can sweep Yuzhou within a few days. Liu Jun's purpose in blocking the news was to raid Yuzhou, and I am afraid that the Xianshui Pass would not be safeguarded. Therefore, we must deploy the guards of Yanzhou and Xuzhou in advance!" Listening
to Jia Xu's words, Cao Cao was a little flustered, while the others nodded in pain. Although difficult to accept, this is by no means alarmist.
"Wen He, what should I do now?" asked Cao Cao already a little out of line, and asked urgently.
"In addition to sending troops to dispatch generals, the main attack should also have people sitting in Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Yangzhou. Liu Jun captured Yuzhou, and Jiangdong Sun Quan would definitely move. With Zhou Yu, Lu Su's talent, Zhang Liao and Wen Ping are not opponents. Jia Xu did not panic in the slightest.
"Dong Zhao was ordered to sit in Yangzhou, Xun Fu to sit in Yanzhou, Liu Ye to sit in Xuzhou, the prefectures to send 20,000 soldiers and horses, Cheng Yu and Chen Qun to prepare grain and grass equipment overnight, Jia Xu to transfer the generals accompanying the army, the army to set out tomorrow morning, and all civilian and military officials in the prefectures must obey the orders of the three. Cao Cao thought for a moment, calmed down, and made a decision immediately.
"No!" a few people hurried down to prepare.
East of Luoyang, there are three Xiongguan Passes, namely Hujiao Pass, Bianshui Pass and Dongling Pass, so there are not many soldiers and horses in the entire Yuzhou.
The current history of Yuzhou is Tian Yu, when Liu Cao made a surprise army, crossed the Flying Tiger Mountain, approached Yingchuan, and threatened Xu Chang, Tian Yu, who was the Taishou of Runan, reacted quickly and was appreciated by Cao Cao, so Cao Cao let him make the history of Yuzhou assassination.
Although the capital was moved from Xuchang to Yecheng, Yuzhou was the center of the Han Dynasty and the center of the world, known as the Central Plains. Therefore, geographical location is very important.
When the three princes of Liu Bei, Liu Jun, and Sun Quan had just prepared for the Northern Expedition, Tian Yu began to deploy.
If Liu wanted to capture Yuzhou, it was very likely that he would repeat his old trick and cross the Flying Tiger Mountain. Therefore, Tian Yu's focus is on Ruyin. Xian Yufu led 3,000 soldiers and horses to station at the Flying Tiger Pass, and he led 2,000 soldiers and horses to station in Shangcai.
On this day, he was in the county commandery, and suddenly scouted to report, Zhao Yun led eight thousand cavalry, and after leaving Dongling Pass, he was like a broken bamboo all the way, and he had already killed Ruyin.
Tian Yu was shocked all of a sudden!
