Chapter 921 (1/2)

Zhang Fei set an ambush in the forest to lure Cao Zhen into being deceived by himself, but failed in the end.

Zhang Fei in the history of the Three Kingdoms is not the image of a savage man in the romance of the Three Kingdoms. When the three brothers of Liu Guan and Zhang set out to fight, it was Zhang Fei, who was well-off, who provided material for recruitment. Zhang Fei, who was well-off, was certainly a bit of ink in his stomach.

Later, Zhang Fei, together with Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and Ma Chao, was appointed as the four major generals before and after that. Zhang Fei defeated Zhang jaw, a famous general of the Wei Dynasty, at the wa pass. From this, we can see that Zhang Fei is not a man with only muscles in his head.

However, Cao Zhen is not a fool. He was carefully trained by Cao Cao. After the war of Dingjunshan in history, Xia Houyuan, commander-in-chief of the western front of Cao Wei, was killed on the battlefield. After that, Cao Zhen was governor Chang'an, who formally took over Xia Houyuan's position. In the romance of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yi was always dealing with Zhuge Liang. In fact, Cao Zhen had been dealing with Zhuge Liang for the first four times when he was out of Qi Mountain. After Cao Zhen died of illness, Sima Yi was transferred to the west to fight with Zhuge Liang.

Cao Zhen had a long-term strategic vision. He had expected that Zhuge Liang would probably follow Han Xin's example of ”building a plank road in the open and crossing the old warehouse secretly”. Before leaving, he ordered to strengthen the defense of Chen Cang City. Sure enough, Zhuge Liang led a hundred thousand troops to besiege Chen Cang for several decades, which made Hao Zhaoshan's reputation as a good defender. In fact, Cao Zhen had been preparing for the rainy days.

”The whole army retreats!”

Cao Zhen saw that the enemy had been ambushed for a long time, but he was also straightforward. Tens of thousands of people said that they did not want to do so. They patted their buttocks and left. Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao praised Cao Zhen's command, so they followed Cao Zhen and walked away together.

After watching from afar for a while, Zhang Fei turned back and said, ”well, the enemy troops have retreated. The whole army is retreating and moving towards the main force.”

After confirming that Cao Zhen really withdrew his troops and would not return, Zhang Fei called for an order, and the five thousand Yuzhou Army stood up and retreated in the direction of the coming road.

The battle of Huainan came to an end. Liu Bei led 30000 Yuzhou troops and defeated Xiahou Dun in the first battle of huaishui, and led his troops to besiege Shouchun city for many days. However, with the arrival of Cao troops in Huainan, Cao Zhen led the people to strengthen and create momentum, and finally decided to withdraw. He led the Yuzhou army to plunder 30000 people from Huainan and retreat to Runan County And go.

Huainan calmed down for a while, while Jingzhou was in the middle of war.

Cao Ren, the general of Zhennan, was ordered by Cao Cao to attack Jiangling city. However, Wei Yan, the general of Zhennan City, was tenacious. Finally, Li Yan came to Nanyang in person. However, Li Yan's military strength was weak and could not defeat Cao Ren for a while. Therefore, he had to stay outside the city and form a corner with Wei Yan in the city.

In Wuling county.

”What's the matter? Why hasn't the food and grass been delivered for so many days? ” Liu Pan frowned.

Liu Pan and Huang Zhong led more than ten thousand Wuling troops stationed in ruanling, only waiting for the grain and grass to be transported from Jiangling. They immediately launched an offensive against Sun Quan, who had occupied Jingnan, and wiped out the southern part of Jingzhou and exterminated the sun family.

However, after waiting for so many days, the grain and grass could not keep up, so Liu Pan and Huang Zhong could only stand still. As the saying goes, when the three armies are not moving, the grain and forage go first. When the large army is fighting abroad, the consumption rate is several times higher than when it is stationed. Because the grain and grass are to be transported, the civilian drivers who transport grain and forage are not robots and naturally have to eat.

Just when Liu Pan and Huang Zhong feel puzzled, they suddenly report from Westone: ”general, commander Gao is here!”

”Here comes governor Gao? I will greet you in person Liu Pan was surprised and got up in a hurry.

”I didn't expect that governor Gao would be the governor of Dadu, so he personally escorted the grain and grass to come here.” Liu Pan opposite Huang Zhongdao.

”As governor Gao, I'm afraid he didn't come to escort grain and grass?” Veteran Huang Zhong is a little confused.
