Chapter 463
For three consecutive days, Wei Yan seemed to have lost his mind, and the governor attacked Rencheng day and night (here refers to the capital of Rencheng County).
Although this stormy attack made it difficult for Cao's army to defend the city, the soldiers under Wei Yan's own command also felt breathless, and a considerable number of soldiers complained about excessive fatigue.
Many generals and assistants advised Wei Yan hard, hoping that he could slow down the offensive, otherwise, the one who collapsed in the end might not be Cao's army, but himself.
But Wei Yan refused to accept it at all and insisted on reprimanding orders to continue to attack.
.
The thief-defeating captain Zhu Cai and three or five generals found Wei Yan's personal soldiers, Wei Yu, and wanted to use him to persuade him.
"The attack must be relaxed and relaxed, otherwise the army's combat power will not be able to be able to reach its limit. It is definitely not a solution to continue to fight day and night as it is now.
"Zhu Cai said to Wei Yu worriedly, "Wenzhi, you have a close relationship with adults, find a way to persuade adults."
The other people also turned their attention to Wei Yu.
"Dear sirs..." Wei Yu hesitated for a moment and said in a little embarrassed manner, "Actually, I have persuaded the adults once yesterday, but the adults ignored..."
"It's all this bastard Li Dian who is making trouble!" The captain Sun Liao (who can't afford to make a guest appearance after sleeping) said angrily, "If he hadn't attacked the baggage team a few days ago and destroyed so many siege equipment, the lord wouldn't have been so angry."
The reason for the crazy attack on Rencheng is that Li Dian, who has always pursued a passive and conservative defense strategy, suddenly came a surprise attack, which caused Wei Yan to suffer a considerable loss——
Five days ago, Wei Yan led his army to successfully cross Jiu'an Mountain, which he thought Li Dianhuitun had heavy troops to block and attacked Rencheng County.
As a natural barrier for Rencheng County, Jiu'an Mountain has considerable strategic value, but Li Dian abandoned it. Coupled with the previous conservative performance of Cao's army, Wei Yan was convinced that Li Dian was preparing to defend Rencheng to the death.
Under this understanding, Wei Yanti's army accelerated its march and relaxed its vigilance to a certain extent. As a result, Li Dian made a surprise attack on Wei Yan's rear army and baggage team from the back.
Fortunately, Wei Yan reacted quickly. After learning the news, he returned to rescue him in time to minimize the losses. The losses were not large, but what was serious was that a large number of siege equipment, including dozens of trenchers, were destroyed most of them.
Afterwards, Wei Yan was extremely furious, and this was the current situation.
"I always feel something is wrong... Is Li Dian playing with some conspiracy and deliberately trying to anger the adults?" Zhu Cai frowned. He said carefully, "Maybe the adults attacked Rencheng fiercely, and was also within Li Dian's calculation..."
"Mr. Zhu means..." After receiving such a reminder, Wei Yu also thought of something and said in surprise. "Li Dian deliberately led the master to attack the city day and night, causing our soldiers to be exhausted???!!!!"
"I think there is a possibility..." Zhu Cai said with certainty, "If you fight for another two days, more than half of the people will be exhausted!"
"..." Wei Yu pondered for a moment. He said respectfully to Zhu Cai and the others, "Several adults, may you please follow the generals and advise them again?"
"It's time for me to do it!" Zhu Cai nodded with a clear sigh of relief.
.
"……………Sir, please think twice!" After saying all his guesses and concerns, Zhu Cai carefully glanced at Wei Yan with the light of his eyes, hoping that it would not arouse the other party's disgust or anger.
After all, the anger Wei Yan has shown these days is really terrifying.
Several others in the mainland, including Wei Yu, also held their breath and looked at Wei Yan cautiously.
"This is what you guys want to say?" Wei Yan asked Wei Yu, Sun Liao and others with a blank expression.
"Yes..." Sun Liao nodded and said boldly, "Sir, what Gong Xu said is not without reason. If you continue like this, it may not be a good thing!"
"Hahaha..." Wei Yan suddenly laughed. The laughter became louder and louder.
At first, Zhu Cai and others thought Wei Yan was extremely angry and laughed, and they were shocked; but then, they found that this was not the case at all.
"Gongxu, Ah Yu... What are you bastards afraid of? Can you eat you?" Wei Yan slapped the table and said, "Don't you sit down first!"
They looked at each other in disbelief, and several people searched for Zhang Pudiao and sat down one after another.
"Sir, are you..." Zhu Cai looked at Wei Yan with a sudden surprise.
"I can't think of what you can think of?" Wei Yan glared and cursed with a smile, "That bastard Li Dian, really think I'm a reckless person who can't stand the excitement?!!
After being successfully attacked by this bastard, I was really so angry that I was about to explode. But half a day later, I came to my senses and knew that this bastard had bad intentions.
If you think about it a little bit, you can almost guess what is inseparable from the seven or eight."
"That sir..." Sun Liao asked in surprise.
"Most of the equipment was destroyed, how can we attack the city?" Wei Yan looked at Sun Liao with some regret, "It's okay for other equipment to be built temporarily, but those broken catapults are completely helpless.
Without a catapult or other equipment, attacking Rencheng is just a joke on human life. But you have to find a way to take Rencheng, otherwise you will not be able to pick up Junhou.”
"So sir is taking advantage of the situation!" Zhu Cai said happily. The other people also turned their worries into joy.
"The general once said before———The more he is used to it, the more he is convinced of something, the more likely he is to go wrong.
Therefore, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is a very good way to defeat the enemy!" Wei Yan smiled with a strange smile on his lips, "In the past two years of order to guard Xuzhou, I have never concealed my impatient attitude, and even deliberately performed more obviously.
It is to have the opportunity to fool Cao Jun in the future.
This bastard Li Dian is aware that I am "impatient" and makes such a thing, so I will follow his wishes.
In this battle, let’s see who can laugh to the end!”
Wei Yu and others then suddenly realized.
"I won't say it in vain before. I'm afraid that the performance will not be real, so I'll show my strength." Wei Yan said with a smile, "I was planning to tell you in the next two days, but I didn't expect you to find it yourself."
"Sir. Then have you left a backup plan? If Li Dian counterattack..." Zhu Cai asked carefully.
"You didn't notice it yourself. I kept some of the elite soldiers and never used them..." A sharp look flashed in Wei Yan's eyes, "That bastard is just preparing to wait for our army to experience fatigue and chaos, and use the troops from other cities to cooperate with the Rencheng defenders' internal and external attacks.
I'm just waiting for him to take action!"
"By the way, I've been home in these three days, which is enough to fool Li Dian. Next, I can make a loud thunder and a smaller raindrops. Pay attention to the rest of the troops. However, I still have to attack the city for twelve hours..."
"No~!"

On the seventh day of the fourth month, Zhao Yun led the Feng Cavalry to travel 200 miles and suddenly appeared in front of Dong Heng's army from the side. After two hours of fierce fighting, he defeated him in one fell swoop, thus lifting the pressure on Huang Zhong's right wing.
"Zilong, fortunately you came in time, otherwise I would have been dragged to death by Zang Ba and Dong Heng in Bianyang." After Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun hugged him, he patted the little brother's shoulder hard and laughed.
"Brother Han Sheng, Yun really deserves your gratitude!" Zhao Yun smiled bitterly, raised his sword eyebrows slightly, "Xiayi and Bianyang are only more than 80 miles apart, but Yun was blocked by the trap for so many days, which made Brother Han Sheng be attacked on three sides, and the number of people was defeated by the enemy.
”
"No wonder Zilong..." Huang Zhong smiled openly. After pulling Zhao Yun down on the ground, he waved his hand.
The other generals also looked for places to sit down one after another.
After introducing each other's situation, Zhao Yun pondered and said, "Brother Han Sheng, according to your opinion, should we go north to pick up Ying Junhou, or should we defeat Zang Ba and Qian Zhao first?"
"This morning, I received another letter from Dingtao's flying pigeon..." Huang Zhong took out a thin silk from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yun. "Dingguo and Wenxiang can no longer stop Xiahou Dun. Once Dingtao is lost.
The city defenses of Juyang and Lihu are weak, and they are not enough to stop Xiahou Dun. In this way, Xiahou Dun can attack Puyang in the north, and go east to cooperate with Cao Ren to cross the wing water..."
Take the map from the guard and spread it on the ground. Huang Zhong pointed to several places above and said, "If Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren all rushed to Puyang, even if there was no Cao army in Hebei, the situation of Junhou would be very difficult.
If Hebei crossed the south of 40,000 Cao troops, Junhou would have to face the siege of more than 100,000 Cao troops in Puyang..."
"Is there any news that the Cao army from Hebei went south?" Zhao Yun asked Huang Zhong when he thought of something.
"I haven't received any news here yet, but the military advisor Zhuge said that the Cao army in Hebei will definitely go south, which should be good..."
"Brother Han Sheng means...going north to rescue Dingtao?!!"
Huang Zhong nodded, pointed to the map and said, "Leave five thousand people to guard Bianyang, and Zilong and I lead the main force north to rescue Dingtao."
Zhao Yun stared at the map and after thinking for a long time, he nodded affirmatively: "It's just like Brother Han Sheng's meaning. But keep more soldiers and horses in the guards of Bianyang - Brother Han Sheng left 5,000 infantrymen, and Yun left another 2,000 Fengqi.
Not only to strengthen defense, but also to better restrain Zang Ba and Qianzhao.”
"That's it!" Huang Zhong slapped his thigh and expressed his agreement without hesitation.

Amid the deafening roar, countless Western Liang cavalry crossed Xingyang City, rolled up smoke and dust in the sky, and rushed into the distance like a craze.
Behind him, Lu Xundi's 15,000 troops lined up in an orderly manner and followed slowly...
.
At Hulao Pass, under the big banner of "Zhang" waving in the wind, tens of thousands of troops left Guandong in a mighty way...
