Chapter 352 (1/2)
Yanzhou Xuchang, which in the original history, occupies an extremely important position in the city, now also because of its proximity to Yuzhou, but only become a relatively large city in Yanzhou.
However, in view of a series of wars in Hanzhong not long ago, even Cao Ren, the governor of Yanzhou, believed that the focus of the war had been put there. Even some time ago, I heard that Cao Ren sent part of the garrison of Chenliu and Jiyin to Chang'an to participate in the defense. If it wasn't for the fact that Xuchang was too close to Yuzhou, I'm afraid Xuchang's troops would have to be transferred by half.
”Ah!” A garrison on the head of the city yawned and joked with one of his comrades in arms: ”I said the third! It is said that in half a month, you will be ready to marry the daughter of the old Wang family in the street? ”
”Ha ha!” The third garrison, who was asked, had a giggle, but in his smile there was a sense of happiness, ”yes! Iron head! You must invite the brothers to my house for a wedding reception
The garrison, nicknamed iron head, patted the third on the shoulder and said with a smile, ”sure! certain! How lucky you are! I'm so anxious that the old Wang's daughter is very beautiful Iron head claps very hard, beat that old three straight grin teeth, but still dare not fight back, even scold can't scold, can only accompany smile. Old three heart has been Feifei, who does not know that this bastard has been salivating for his wife who has never been married, and now he has snatched his hand, which can be regarded as revenge.
The old three is still shy with a smile, and suddenly looks at the outside of the city behind the iron head. His face changes, pointing to the outside of the city, he exclaims: ”brother iron head! Look! What is that? ” As he spoke, his voice trembled and his face turned pale.
Tietou turned back quickly, but he saw the end of the boundless plain outside the city, and suddenly rolled up the dust and smoke. This iron head is also an old soldier. Last year, he took part in the battle of Xuzhou. Iron head can see at a glance that the dust smoke is obviously the sign of a large group of people coming to this side, but I haven't heard of a large group of people coming to Xuchang these two days! The rest, there is only one possibility, that is, there is an enemy attack!
”Come on! Come on! First of all, all the city gates are closed! Let all the lazy people down there come up! ” Although iron head is small-minded, he is still a qualified soldier. When he sees the enemy's army attacking, he immediately gives orders to the third and other garrison soldiers around him. The iron head didn't blow the horn in a hurry. After all, he didn't really know whether the enemy was the enemy. If he made a joke, he would lose his head even if it was real.
However, the speed of the other party's advance is very fast, in a short time, you can see the other party's flag faintly. After that, he ran to the horn of the city to see clearly the content of the falling horn. However, it may be because of too much tension that the horn has not been sounded. The iron head breathed deeply and then blew the horn again. This will mean that the horn of an enemy attack has been sounded.
The dust and smoke from the outside of the city was getting closer and closer. At last, it revealed the true face of the dust smoke, but it was not less than 100000 cavalry! But in front of the cavalry is holding up a huge flag, on which are written two lines of big characters: ”Jiangdong new army, thunderstorm ride”!
This period of time was the most troublesome period since Cao Cao started his army. The first was the battle of Hanguguan, which was managed painstakingly. At the last moment, it failed. Although it was also regarded as the successful annihilation of Jingzhou legion, one of the three legions in the eastern Wu Dynasty. However, the most important goal of this plan, Hanguguan still did not get hold of it. Then, news came from Qishan that chencangshan, xiegu and xieguanguan were lost one after another, which made Cao Cao feel scared. Although Qishan was not completely occupied by the Dongwu army, the loss of these three strongholds meant that if the Dongwu Army wanted to attack Chang'an, it would no longer have to worry about the natural danger of Qishan.
In this regard, Cao Cao quickly sent troops from all over the country to defend Chang'an, and even tried to move his capital to avoid the attack of Hanzhong army. When the Northern Wei Dynasty set the capital, Cao Cao wanted to set the capital in Xuchang, but because Xuchang was too close to the eastern Wu, he gave up the idea. Now the natural danger of Qishan is gone. Isn't Chang'an almost like Xuchang?
However, when Cao Cao was in a state of anxiety, Jia Xu and Sima Yi, two of the top intellectuals in his account, spoke out to dissuade Cao Cao from moving his capital. But even so, Cao Cao sent troops from all over the country, and gathered a total of 800000 troops around Chang'an! In this way, Cao Cao was a little relieved.
