Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 653

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

In order to avoid confusion, and a few prefaces, let's start with the division of troops at Tongguan——

On April 25th, with great fanfare in the Zhongshi Division, the army was led across Fenglingdu and went north to support.

Lao Cao set off in the next two days and quietly marched westward along the Weihe River. After a month or so, he ran for two thousand miles and robbed Lanzhou.

Afterwards, he made a surprise attack on Xingqing Mansion from the waterway, made great achievements, and then returned across the east of the river, killing the land in Xixia.

So far, it is mid-June.

After more than a month of work, Lao Cao made great strides here, but in Taiyuan, he killed a sea of ​​blood and a mountain of corpses.

In fact, it is not limited to Taiyuan.

Today, Song, Liao, Jinxia, ​​and the Four Kingdoms are fighting each other. Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and even the land of Youyun are full of wars and endless fighting...

The book returns to the main story, but it is said that Zhong Shizhong led more than troops to cross the Yellow River, pass through Hezhongfu, Jiangzhou, Jinzhou, and Fenzhou, all the way up the Fenshui River.

As far as I could see along the way, I saw countless people of the Song Dynasty, panic-stricken, helping the old and the young, fleeing to the south in a hurry.

There are also many defeated troops and officials, all mixed in, crying and crying only to rush on their way.

Xiao Zhongxiangguo traveled all the way, looking for people and asking questions all the way, and gradually pieced together the truth——

It turned out that Xixia's attack on Taiyuan was not at all what he had thought at the beginning, "Tongguan is difficult to overcome, so Taiyuan was attacked", but after defeating the three prefectures of Feng, Fu, and Lin, he divided his troops. One army swept the Yongxing Army Road to the south and hit Tongguan.

The Zhe family will guard this place for generations, how prestige is it?Seeing that the Zhe family has surrendered, and it is close to the prefecture and county, who would dare to be an enemy?

So the army on the East Road went down to Xingxian, Lanxian and Loufan without bloodshed.

——Actually, when they were making great strides in Luliang Mountain, Lao Cao had just passed by not long ago, recruiting troops from Liaozhou, Longzefu, and Zezhou, and walking slowly.

When Xixia conquered Luliang area and reached Taiyuan Mansion, they failed to conquer as they wished, and were blocked by the army led by Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan.

Zhang Xiaochun is a Jinshi in Yuanyou year, he is known for his talents, he was originally a transit judge on Yongxing Army Road, because the old official wanted to open Yanmen Pass, he borrowed Jin soldiers to enter Yuliao from Hedong Road, and he was afraid of Jin soldiers coming, what if Lianzhan is prosperous and refuses to leave?At that time, Yanmen Pass will be handed over to others, how to resist?

After thinking about it, he promoted Zhang Xiaochun to be a direct bachelor of Longtuge, a consolation envoy of Economic Strategy on Hedong Road, and also an expert in Taiyuan Mansion.

Assuming that Jin Bing's mind really changes, he will be asked to stick to Taiyuan Mansion to cut off the north-south road, so that subsequent Jin soldiers cannot drive straight in.

Unexpectedly, before the Jin soldiers arrived, the Xixia soldiers committed suicide first.

Fortunately, Zong Ze had been the military commander here for two years, during which time he worked hard to govern. In addition to the Forbidden Army and Xiang Army, he also practiced many archers.

When the old gentleman attacked the Liao Kingdom, he took away the imperial army, the Xiang army, and the archers of the counties were all still in the local area. Zhang Xiaochun gathered them in time, gathered three or four thousand capable soldiers, and then mobilized the people in the city. The army and the people worked together to block Xixia's first round of attack.

The two sides are still in a stalemate here, and the other Xixia army's attack on Tongguan is not good, so they simply leave miscellaneous soldiers as suspect troops to contain the small species, and all the rest go north to participate in the siege of Taiyuan.

It was this army of soldiers that alarmed the old gentleman.

After the defeat of the Yellow River, the old man led the remnant army into the mountains to rest. He wanted to wait for his illness to recover, so he wanted to go to Bianliang to help him. Unexpectedly, he suddenly ran into the Xixia vanguard. Both sides were caught off guard. After a chaotic battle, each retreated.

At this time, Lao Zhong didn't know that Taiyuan's beacon fires rose early. He saw Xixia soldiers coming from Tongguan, and thought they could not attack Tongguan, so he divided his troops to attack Taiyuan.

The prestige of the old gentleman was much higher than that of Zhang Xiaochun, and he had Han Cunbao, Qu Ke, and Ma Zhong under his command. After entering the city, the morale of the people in the city was immediately boosted.

Later, soldiers from the South Xixia Road came in large numbers. There were a total of 13 Xixia soldiers, 20 Jurchen soldiers, tens of thousands of family soldiers, and the Song army who surrendered in several nearby states, totaling no less than , and Taiyuan was completely surrounded.

He also sent countless small teams to plunder food everywhere, so that the people's livelihood was difficult and they fled south one after another.

Zhong Zhong was deeply worried when he heard about the situation, so he called Lin Chong for a discussion: "General Lin, 20 enemy troops surrounded Taiyuan. I can only wait for more than people, and half of them are recruits. If you force the city, the casualties will be astonishing. What can you do?"

Lin Chong pondered for a long time, then slowly said: "The general heard that the city wall of Taiyuan is forty miles high and strong, and there are good generals like the old gentleman sitting in the fortress. Even if the enemy has many troops, it will be difficult to break through in a hurry..."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and thought hard for a while, before he said in a low voice: "The general doesn't have any strategy in mind, but just now he thought about it carefully, if my brother Wu used troops, he would definitely not fight head-on... Yes, Yuci County is only twenty miles away from Taiyuan City, why didn't our army take Yuci and consider it the horn of Taiyuan?"

The teacher thought for a while: "Alright! Let's act according to this plan."

The two discussed it properly, and immediately went straight to Yuci, but they were happy that this county was not occupied by Xixia, and all the people in it had fled, leaving an empty city.

The two were overjoyed, and hurriedly led troops in, and immediately sent people to demolish the houses and repair the city gates and walls.

It turned out that this county had a glorious time, but it was when Emperor Taizong destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, destroyed Jinyang City, ordered the abolition of Bingzhou Taiyuan Prefecture, abolished Taiyuan and Jinyang counties, newly established Bingzhou military, and moved it to Yuci.

Mr. Xiaozhong said: "Since our army is here, we should say hello to Xia Gou, so that he will not dare to attack the city with all his strength. Just sit in the city and wait for the old man to kill him once."

Lin Chong hurriedly stopped him: "If you are in your sixtieth year, if you are allowed to fight, what's the use of letting me wait for the younger generation? Lin led his own troops to kill him."

Mr. Xiaozhong said: "If you want to go, don't give away your tiger cavalry, this elite army is of great use. You can only lead my own army to go, and you can't go deep. Just show a little, and then come back."

Lin Chong accepted the order with fists in his arms, and led more than soldiers of Xiaozhong's relatives out of the city, and rushed all the way to Taiyuan, without even meeting a single scout.

Lin Chong paled and said: "It's not good, brother is most worried about the confluence of the Jin army. Seeing that the Xixia soldiers are so careless, they must have known about the battle in Bianliang and that our army is unable to take care of Taiyuan. How did he know? He must have sent someone to contact Lou Shi."

Then he gritted his teeth and said, "But since he dared to be so careless, don't blame Lin for killing him ruthlessly today."

The place he came from was just to the east of Taiyuan City, where Li Liangfu, a general of the Xixia Dynasty, was stationed here, with more than soldiers, and was attacking the city.

Lin Chong turned his head and shouted: "You are all brave men in the Western Army, each of you has countless Xia Gou's lives in your hands. Lin is not talented, and he only fought against Xia Gou for the second time. Let's see how many lives I can take from him in this battle!"

Those western soldiers all laughed and said: "The real Xiagou has iron kite ears. Now these infantry, we will take whatever they want."

Seeing that the morale was not bad, Lin Chong felt a little relieved, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I'll just go and stab his general, thinking that the Taiyuan defenders will share their worries."

After saying that, he waved his spear and shouted: "Kill Xia Gou!"

More than people responded at the same time, and they all galloped on horses.

The Xixia people were attacking the city in full swing, when they suddenly heard a movement behind them, they hurriedly turned their heads, Lin Chong took the lead, stared and gritted his teeth, crashed into the Xixia rear army, and swept away with all his strength with a Zhangba Snake Spear, making them all invincible.

Li Liangfu, the general of Xia, was sitting on the grand master chair and was watching his subordinates attacking the city. He suddenly heard the sound of killing behind him, so he jumped up in shock. He hurriedly got on his horse and saw that the enemy was less than a thousand.

While talking and yelling, he commanded soldiers and horses to outflank, but unexpectedly, after passing a few orders, he saw that Song army was charging extremely fast, looking at the direction, it was coming towards him!

There are different teachings: soldiers surrounded Taiyuan, and the generals bravely added new aid.The battle drums in the east city were roaring, and a huge wave was thrown by a snake spear.
