Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

As the morning sun rose, the armored Le Jin stood at the top of Xiangyang City and looked north as hard as he could.

At this time, the morning fog had not dispersed and nothing could be seen, but Le Jin already felt uneasy.

It seems that there is a giant whale capable of swallowing boats across the sea lurking under the Han River, just waiting for the opportunity to come up and crash into other cities, destroying people and destroying other cities.

But these are all conjectures. Where did the giant whale come from in the Han River?

A few drops of morning dew hung on Le Jin's beard. He put aside these disturbing thoughts and waved his hand, and his guards understood what he meant.

Following the loud orders from the generals, dozens of Qingqi scouts quickly rushed out from Xiangyang, splitting into two groups along the way. One group searched southward along the Han River, while the other group dispersed and disappeared into the morning mist.

The news Le Jin received was not as complete as that from Prime Minister Cao at the rear, but as a defender, he just silently transferred Fancheng's grain and elite troops to Xiangyang, vowing to die with the city.

Cao Cheng originally ordered him to garrison Xiangyang instead of Fancheng. Le Jin remembered this very clearly.

The prime minister's grace, Yecheng's family, and dissatisfaction with Guan Yu all made Le Jin unable to take a step back.

The process of waiting for the scouts to send back the news was quite tiring, so my thoughts flew a little further.

In the third year of Jian'an, the prime minister defeated Zhang Xiu and captured Lu Bu in Xuzhou. However, Kong Beihai said that Yuan Shao, Yan Liangwen and Chou, was the bravest in the army, and suggested that the prime minister surrender to Yuan Shao.

Although Xun Lingjun refuted it and pointed out the shortcomings of Tian Feng and Xu You in the trial, Le Jin knew that the prime minister would definitely be resentful.

So in the fifth year of Jian'an, Guan Yu killed Yan Liang in the midst of thousands of troops, and wanted to do it for the prime minister. For this reason, he later ridiculed Kong Rong: What does it mean to be brave enough to win the three armies?

Compared with Guan Yu, his success in Le Jin's sneak attack to kill Chun Yuqiong eclipsed that of Guan Yu.

Therefore, when Guan Yu later abandoned his position as prime minister and returned to Liu Bei, Le Jin had a grudge against him.

But now, Le Jin wanted to see if Guan Yu, who stabbed Yanliang, was in vain.

As the morning dew on the beard was turned into water vapor by the sun, the scouts who had been sent out earlier also returned sporadically, bringing back news.

To Le Jin's disappointment, there were about three to five thousand people who came out of Dangyang, with Chinese characters embroidered on their big flags and yellow characters embroidered on their flags.

And the Guanzi flag that he cherished so much was hung on the navy boats on the Han River, one big boat and dozens of small boats.

After more than a year of guarding here, Le Jin had of course already gotten to know this Dangyang guard general who was good at archery: Huang Zhong, a former general under Liu Biao.

When I sent people to Xinye Wancheng and other places to inquire about the news, they said:

This Huang Zhong had nothing to do with fighting bandits under Liu Biao. He really didn't have any impressive achievements, and he was already very old.

Definitely used as bait! Le Jin concluded.

Send a veteran to lure him to attack from the front, and then use the Hanshui navy to attack from behind? Who will be fooled!

It's just that Le Jin's complacent thoughts didn't last long, but in the time it took to eat a meal of soup cakes, several more horses rushed into Xiangyang quickly, and the news was quickly presented.

Yicheng fell? Le Jin repeated in disbelief.

Yicheng is located only a hundred miles southeast of Xiangyang. The two cities are at the corners of each other and are very important to Xiangyang.

He just had breakfast with peace of mind, why was Yicheng gone?

The messenger with blood on his head on the opposite side knelt on the ground and cried:

The enemy attacked the city wall fiercely with huge ships. The east side of the city wall collapsed, and the enemy troops could advance and retreat freely.

The prefect led his troops to retreat. I didn't expect that there was an ambush outside the city. I fought to my death to escape. Before escaping, I saw the prefect being beheaded by an old general.

Le Jin's face turned slightly pale. He still remembered the huge crossbow arrow that shot down the pontoon bridge when Jiangling City fell.

Can it actually shoot down the city wall? This was a result he had never expected.

This battle seemed a little different from what he was familiar with.

But Xiangfan is a fortified city, so it should be fine, right?

In the end, he had no choice but to order:

Write down the circumstances of the fall of Yicheng in a memorial and send it to the north.

How to decide is something the prime minister needs to consider, and all Le Jin can do is ensure that Xiangyang is not lost.

Therefore, the order was issued: Hold tight and don't come out!

On the huge ship, Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled. Although Xu Shu was mentally prepared, he still found it incredible.

The collapse of the city wall was just a misinformation from the confused Cao Jun. The actual situation was that Guan Yu ordered the giant ship to come across and hit the east side of Yicheng with ballistae.

Half of the city wall was blasted and collapsed in several places. The most important thing was that the city gate was shattered, which caused the morale of the defenders to collapse. During the collapse, it became the wall collapsed.

Yicheng is a small city with short walls and thin walls. The local governor also believed that it was easy to defend and difficult to attack because it was located near mountains and rivers, so the city walls were neglected.

Guan Yu smiled and stroked his beard. These news were all told by Ma Liang, a local, and continued:

So a year ago, Mrs. Huang specially made a crossbow arrow. Although it has lost its sharpness, it can be used to destroy city gates and weapons.

Xu Shu took a look at the so-called special crossbow. The top was not sharp, but shaped like a hemisphere.

In addition to this kind of crossbow arrows, Xu Shu knew that there were several types of specially made crossbow arrows carried on the ship, including those with seven or eight blades, those with flying wings, hollow ones, and those with ropes attached to the tails, etc., each with its own characteristics. the use of.

It really works.

Xu Shu nodded:

But this way, Ji Chang should breathe a sigh of relief.

After returning to the service of Duke Xuande, the good young man in Jingzhou that surprised Xu Shu was Ma Liang.

When asked about the geography of Jingzhou, the answers are flowing, and when asked about the wars in the world, there are countless treasures.

Copying the battle cases and maps of the light curtain seems to have given the Ma family Baimei a lot of reserves, and he has new insights into military affairs and governance, as well as the general situation.

Although he was unfamiliar, Xu Shu could tell that the only difference was his experience.

Therefore, this time Xu Shu arranged for him to be the deputy of the old general Huang Zhong and the commander-in-chief of the army. This way, after breaking Yicheng, he could pick up his family as soon as possible without any worries.

Because the destruction of Yicheng was only done by the navy, the top priority was to continue heading north without stopping.

But speaking of worries... Xu Shu felt a little nervous as the strong wind blew on the river: I wonder what's going on with Shiyuan?

It was Cao Cao who knew Pang Tong's movements earlier than Xu Shu.

Under pressure, Prime Minister Cao temporarily gave up his thoughts of pleasure, and after ordering several civil servants and generals, he went to Xudu to take charge.

On the way, I received an urgent message from Xia Houyuan: to urge for food or reinforcements.

Xia Houyuan sent a long letter along with the military newspaper, which detailed the current situation in Guanzhong:

Liu Bei's army came out of Hanzhong, with Wei Yanhuo Jun as general, and stationed in Wuzhangyuan, where they continued to harass and attack.

Moreover, they kept sending Qingqi to Guanzhong to spread the news, saying that as long as they went to Hanzhong, they could allocate fields and give grain to them to survive the spring famine.

Seeing that the refugees were fleeing, Xia Houyuan had no choice but to send troops to gather the refugees and open military camps in advance. As a result, Wei Yan focused on the military camps. Every few days, he selected a military camp and either launched a false attack with roaring noises, or actually attacked it with troops.

Let's also send partial troops to attack Wei Yan Huojun. The five feet are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the camp is well organized, so there is nothing we can do.

If a large army were to attack, it would be difficult to conceal the movement of the army, and these thousands of troops would definitely go straight to the Baoxian Road, and there would be nothing they could do.

So Xia Houyuan showed his cards directly:

Either transport more food to help the residents survive the spring famine and stabilize the situation for an autumn attack.

Either send reinforcements to block the entrance of Baoxie Road, and then immediately lead the army headquarters to use all their strength to break Longshan Road.

Xun You could see with his naked eyes that his Prime Minister's face became even more disgusting.

After pondering the situation, Xun You spoke first:

You can't let him go in Guanzhong.

Cao Cao knew in his heart that of course he couldn't let go of Guanzhong. One Hanzhong was enough to make him worried. How could he send another one to Guanzhong?

But...Cao Cao shook his head:

Xiangfan can't be released either.

Look at people by their character. Underneath Yun Chang's dignified attitude is his confidence in his strength.

Therefore, although some people suggest that Guan Yunchang is a warrior, what does he know about the Navy? Defined as a false attack.

However, Cao Cao judged that if he were not confident, he would never issue such a high-profile statement and take the initiative to attack, so he abandoned those remarks and rushed to Xudu without any trouble.

Then it is appropriate to order Xu Gongming to lead the army to support Xiangfan. As long as Chang'an is not lost in Guanzhong.

Xun You was considerate and immediately took out the charter:

After quickly pacifying the Xiangfan rebellion, he sent his troops into Guanzhong and pacified Yongliang.

This is the separation of priorities. Xun You further explained:

There are Ma Chao and Han Sui's family in Yecheng as hostages. It is advisable to rely on this as a basis to send envoys to make good friends and lure them into Hanzhong to resolve the dangerous situation in the pass.

Cao Cao nodded slightly, this was also a hopeless solution.

And after a little thinking, he found a suitable candidate, and that candidate happened to be around.

With the order, Prime Minister Dongcao, subordinate to Sima Yi, is sent as envoy to persuade Han Ma.

He still remembered that this boy from the Sima family refused to serve because he had rheumatic syndrome, so he was asked to go to Yongliang and his party to do some beatings.

As for the danger? There are Han and Ma in Yecheng. If they don't want to be ridiculed by the world, they must sit down and have a good talk.

If he were to die unfortunately...it would be a good time to hit those big names. Anyway, the Prime Minister's Mansion does not lack a member of Tocao.

So Sima Yi was sent a horse and a group of personal guards with a confused look on his face, and stood there watching Prime Minister Cao's carriage go further and further away.

On the carriage, Cao Cao was still discussing with Xun You about Jiangdong's strange attitude.

Changing location, if you want a more massive offensive, you should unite with Jiangdong to attack together, but why is there no news from Hefei now?

Or is it that Yun Chang is actually leading the Jiangdong Navy, and this offensive is a joint effort between the two parties?

Next to Sima Yi, the leader of the bodyguard said politely:

Sima Dongcao, the military situation is urgent. Should we leave immediately?

Putting aside the regret in his heart, Sima Yi also understood that he needed to take a chance on his destiny and future.

He jumped on his horse and pointed the reins to the west: Let's go!

When the news of Yicheng's defeat was sent to Wancheng, Guan Yu's navy wasted no time and moved between Xiangyang and Fancheng.

The defenders on the walls of the two cities looked at these dozens of giant ships in surprise.

Many of the defenders in the two cities are natives of Jingzhou, who know the water well and are good at handling ships. But after hearing the general talk about the navy for several days, do you know this is what it is like now?

Le Jin also looked solemnly as he watched the huge main ship slowly approaching. With the sound of the river water and the squeaking sound that seemed to make his teeth ache, his expression immediately changed wildly:

Retreat!

The order was still too late, and he heard the sound of a series of arrows piercing the air, like the scream of an eagle.

What he saw immediately was a picture of hell.

He saw a group of his own soldiers. He escaped without taking them with him when he rashly attacked Jiangling, but it seemed that he was not so lucky today.

A huge spear that was two minutes thicker than a spear, with five or six rotating blades arrayed at the tip, penetrated his soldiers and was nailed to the city wall three inches in front of him, with blood all over his body.

Le Jin retreated hastily. For the first time in history, the armor on his body could not provide him with any sense of security.

For the first time, he was extremely eager for reinforcements to come quickly.

A huge boat crossed the river to lock the Han River, and the isolated city was in danger, waiting for reinforcements.

The writing is not very good, so I have been working on it for a while, so I won’t dwell on it for too long.
