Chapter 391 Appear! Rebellion!
In addition to the 5,000 defenders annihilated in Licheng, Qingzhou has a large army of more than 90,000 people, which is quite strong.
Although Zhou Mutian Kai was worried, there was no way. He immediately ordered his generals to lead 50,000 troops to guard Huantai and Gaoyuan, in order to prevent the Tang army from continuing eastward.
And Cao himself led the army as if it had disappeared without any movement, but they did not know that there was still a pair of eyes behind them monitoring them all the time.
However, Li Zhong led a large army to Pengcheng, and hesitated Cao Ren's remnants of Dingtao's army retreat to Pengcheng, bringing the strength here to 60,000, and the general also changed from the original Li Tong to Cao Ren.
"Your Majesty, the enemy is like a turtle. He can't scream. What adamance," Lv Bu said to Li Zhong helplessly.
Li Zhong took a look at Lv Bu and said, "With filial piety and bravery, the enemy naturally dares not fight."
Lv Bu laughed proudly when he heard the words.
Li Zhong continued, "What's going on in Xuzhou?"
Xi Zhicai said, "Your Majesty, according to the news from the scouts, there are only 50,000 troops in Xuzhou City, guarded by generals. In addition, there is Xun You, Cao Cao's counselor. Cao Cao's main force is not very clear at present."
Li Zhong seemed to nod confidently and said, "Regardless of Cao Cao, he can't escape. By the way, has Zhong Mi arrived in Gai County?"
"General Huo Jun has arrived, and Liu Dai has also led 40,000 Yanzhou troops to Gai County. At present, General Huo Jun is defending in Gai County," Xi said.
Li Zhong nodded with relief and said, "Zhongye, you immediately lead a group of cavalry to pull out all the enemy's scouts. In addition, block the enemy scouts in Pengcheng and don't let them escape the news."
"Yes, King"
"Void and real, the king is wise," Guo Jia said lightly.
Li Zhong was a little embarrassed and said, "Mr. Wenhe, go down and arrange it and order the army to rest here for one night."
"Yes"
The next morning, with the first ray of sunshine, the earth looked vibrant.
"General, why didn't the enemy move?" Li Tong frowned and asked Cao Ren beside the wall of Pengcheng.
Cao Ren shook his head and said, "I can't figure it out either. By the way, has our army come back?"
Li Zhong shook his head and said, "There is no news of the scout, but I guess he will be back soon."
Cao Ren smiled undeniably and looked at the undulating Tang army village in the distance. There was an unprecedented sense of powerlessness in his heart. He felt that in the face of the Tang army, he even had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
"Have you been sent to Xuzhou to scout?" Cao Ren asked.
Li Tong nodded and said, "It has been sent out. In order to prevent the enemy from interception, the last general sent a total of eight batches of scouts in four directions."
Cao Ren smiled admiringly at Li Tong and said, "General Wenda is really worthy of being a general of our army."
"The last general is ashamed," Li Tong lowered his head and said.
"Well, regardless of these, General Li, you immediately ordered the army to be alerted and not to slack off. In addition, prepare for street fighting, the enemy's stone cart is really too powerful," Cao Ren said with lingering lingering.
Li Tong nodded and said, "General, don't worry, the last general will understand."
Xuzhou City, in the state pastoral government.
"General, I heard that there was an accident in Pengcheng?" A man in Confucian clothes walked into the lobby and said to a burly man sitting high in the main seat.
"Mr. Gongda came in time. Please sit down quickly," the burly man was overjoyed and hurriedly said.
It turned out that this burly man was the car of the left-behind general of Xuzhou, and the man in Confucian costume was Xun Youxun Gongda, a counselor of Cao Cao's heart.
"Mr. Gongda, now the Tang army has surrounded Pengcheng, and our army can't get close to Pengcheng, so we don't know the current situation in Pengcheng, so we invited Mr. Gongda to discuss," Che Xu humbly.
Xun You frowned and said, "The enemy is confusing our sight. General Che doesn't have to worry. Pengcheng has Cao Ren, two generals Li Tong and 60,000 troops to guard. Even if the Tang army is powerful, it is absolutely impossible to take Pengcheng in a short time."
"In Mr. Yi's opinion, how should our army do now?" asked the driver.
Xun You pondered for a moment and said, "Now I can't understand what Li Zhong wants to do, so I can only move now. In addition, I will send more scouts to Pengcheng to find out the current situation."
"Well, well", there is nothing we can do about it, just say yes.
In a short time, more than 100 cavalrymen rushed out of Xuzhou City and galloped towards the west.
There is a Laoshan Mountain in Donglai County, Qingzhou, which is adjacent to the sea of Chengyang County. Countless people are gathered at the foot of the mountain. It is very lively to come and go. Even the birds in the woods only dare to hover in the sky and do not dare to fall on the branches and take a nap for a moment.
"Your Majesty, our army's 250,000 army has been assembled. Now we should be in Laoshan, and Jieting is more than 100 miles west of Laoshan Mountain. As long as we cross the Dagu River, we can directly attack Jieting." Xun Yu's eyes flashed with a trace of excitement. You should know that more than 200,000 Wei troops have disappeared, which makes many people feel uneasy. And hiding so many days just to appear unconsciously in the hinterland of Qingzhou, which is the effect Cao Cao wants to achieve.
"Immediately, Zi and the two generals led 50,000 iron horses to go straight to Jieting. In addition, it is necessary to hide the news of our army along the way. If necessary, we can start killing," Cao Cao's cold eyes and ordered.
"Yes, king", everyone's hearts were stunned at first sight. They all knew that this matter was too important and dangerous. If it was defeated, the Wei army would certainly be able to replace the Tang army to occupy the vast territory north of the Yellow River. If it lost, the Wei army would only survive, or even have no place for them to hide.
As the saying goes, under the world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, or the king's minister!
They know that if they laugh to the end, they will definitely take the step of envying the world. The so-called step to the sky is obvious.
"Zhong De, what is the Tang army doing now?" Cao asked.
Cheng Yu was obviously in a good mood and smiled and said, "At present, Li Zhongzheng is leading a large army to attack Pengcheng. Fortunately, Cao Ren and the two generals Li Tong resisted desperately, so they did not make the thief succeed, and Zhao Yun's current movement is unknown. I'm afraid of leaking the news of our army, so I didn't let Yuan Chang send the news."
"Well, well done," Cao Cao said with admiration, pause, and then said, "Zhao Yun's goal is likely to capture Linzi, and then capture Gaomi, so that he can threaten our army's flanks to the maximum extent or even head-on threat. Ha ha, I'm afraid he didn't There is that opportunity."
Cao Cao's tone is very sure. You know, this is what he and a group of advisers thought about. The so-called plot and then move. Now that you understand the enemy's next move, you have an absolute advantage. With mental calculation, Cao Cao seems to have a great chance of winning.
"The order, the army came closer to the Jieting, remember to rest during the day and march at night, and be sure to hide, otherwise there will be no mercy," Cao Cao said with a straight face and a little indifferently.
"Yes, King"
Everyone should promise.
Yizhou Chengdu "Imperial Palace".
"Your Majesty is not well, there is an urgent report from Yuexian County"
"Give it to me quickly"
Liu Xie took it over and looked at it, and his face turned pale. "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened?"
"Zhang Lu, the governor of Zhuti, rebelled with the southern barbarians. At this moment, he is urgently attacking Yuexian County. This is a letter for assistance from the governor of Yuelai County." Liu Xie took a deep breath and looked very abnormally.
"Didn't Nanman agree to bow down? Why did it happen for a while...? Is it Li Zhong's ghost?" Captain Yang Biao suddenly thought of it and called out.
Everyone heard another noise.
"Shut up," Liu Xie slapped the case and shouted coldly.
Everyone is submissive.
"Captain, what do you think should happen now?" Liu Xie asked.
If Yang Biao took a deep look at Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, now you can only temporarily send troops to resist these rebels. As long as it succeeds there, Nanman and Zhang Lu will definitely pay the price."
"Okay, cold bud, Liu Yu"
"Your Majesty"
"I ordered the two of you to lead 20,000 troops to Yueqi immediately. Remember that your purpose is to resist the attack of the rebels and must not fight without authorization," Liu Xie said coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty", the two generals were stunned and hurriedly agreed.
"Okay, if you're free today, just disperse, and the lieutenant will stay for a moment."
After a salute, the ministers left the hall, leaving only Lieutenant Yang Biao.
"Captain, do you think we can succeed?" Liu Xie asked with a worried face.
Yang Biao took a strange look at Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, we will definitely succeed. I think that Taizu was also based in Sichuan and finally defeated Xiang Ji and created the glory of the 400-year-old man. What's more, it's a little late to say this now. You should know that we have no way out and can only go one way. To the black."
"Hey"
Liu Xie sighed and said, "Now there are no extra troops in Sichuan. I want to recruit soldiers again. What does the captain think?"
"No, no"
"Your Majesty, the people have been taxed every year, and the people have been quite fast, and we don't have much food and fodder. If we recruit more soldiers, I'm afraid we will increase taxes. At that time, it is estimated that the rebels have not yet come, and I guess we have collapsed ourselves," Yang Biao eagerly comforted.
"Is there really nothing I can do now?" Liu Xie sat on the dragon chair reluctantly, and his lips trembled.
Yang Biao took a look at Liu Xie, sighed, and said with a smile, "Actually, your majesty doesn't need to worry too much. You should know that this time everyone is united. Even if Li Zhong has three heads and six arms, he has only one way to lose, your majesty must not be discouraged."
