1064. Chapter 1064 Liu Bei borrows troops
In Anyi City, Zhao Yun's stern face looked a little downcast. He did not expect that Jiguan would be broken by the Jingzhou Army in this way. The wall of Jiguan was not thick, but it collapsed under the crazy attack of the Jingzhou Army.
In terms of defense, Jiguan is still worse than Huguan. Ever since Lu Bu entered Bingzhou, he has strengthened the defense of Huguan.
However, with Anyi as his support, Zhao Yun was not afraid of the Jingzhou army.
"General, now the people in Hedong are in panic. In my opinion, it is better to gather the defenders in Hedong in Anyi. In this way, the number of defenders in the city can reach 8,000, which is more than enough to deal with the Jingzhou army." Wei Yan suggested.
Zhao Yundao said: "The general I am worried about is not the Jingzhou army, but the princes' army. If the princes' army abandons Huguan and attacks Hedong, it will be disadvantageous for Bingzhou."
"The coalition of princes is just a bunch of chickens and dogs, relying on their numerical advantage to show off their power outside Huguan. If they dare to lead troops to Hedong, the lord will definitely not hold back." Wei Yan curled his lips and said.
"At this time, the combined armies of the princes still number hundreds of thousands, which should not be underestimated. Once the princes attack the east of the river, the lord will definitely be in a passive situation." Zhao Yundao said: "If the east of the river is conquered by the army of the princes, the army of the princes can
Bing Zuo Feng Yi, Chang'an, there are not many defenders in Chang'an City at this time."
After a long silence, Zhao Yun said: "Wei Yan, I have ordered you to lead four thousand soldiers and horses to guard Wenxi. Do you have the confidence?"
"But it depends on the general's orders." Wei Yan said, cupping his fists.
"This general wants you to stay in Wenxi for half a month." Zhao Yun said slowly.
Wei Yan agreed without hesitation. A general can achieve greater success only by fighting alone. Defending Wenxi may seem dangerous, but in fact it is not. As long as you defend carefully, you can easily deal with the Jingzhou Army.
"General Wei, Wenxi has a vital position in the east of Hedong. I order you to defend Wenxi, which can also divide the forces of the princes. After you enter Wenxi City, you should appease the noble families and people in the city. Don't wait at this time.
If there is a conflict with the aristocratic family, it will not be too late to wait until the enemy retreats." Zhao Yun warned.
After the Jingzhou Army broke through Jiguan, Dongyuan was the brunt of the attack. With the support of the aristocratic families in the city, the Jingzhou Army easily captured Dongyuan.
After learning that Zhao Yun was defending Anyi and Wei Yan was stationed at Wenxi, Cai Mao looked happy. It was a stupid move for the defenders in Hedong to divide their troops at this time. Cai Mao had already experienced Zhao Yun's power when he was at Jiguan.
Already.
"Now Zhao Yun is stationed in Anyi. There are about 5,000 troops and horses in the city. Wei Yan, who is stationed in Wenxi, has 4,000 troops and horses. I have decided to divide the troops to attack Anyi and Wenxi. I don't know what you think." Sit down.
Cai Mao, who was in the upper position, said enthusiastically that the Jingzhou army was far inferior in numbers to the coalition forces of Yuan Shao, Sun Ce and Cao Cao, but they were able to take the lead in breaking through Jiguan and breaking the deadlock on the battlefield. This time, he had no control over the entire battlefield.
It can be said that he has made a huge contribution.
The purpose of the Jingzhou Army's trip was to occupy Chang'an. After occupying Jiguan, Cai Mao left four thousand defenders to repair Jiguan day and night to guard against the soldiers and horses of the princes.
The princes attacked Huguan, and the war was unfavorable. If the army of the princes were allowed to enter Chang'an at this time, it would be extremely disadvantageous for the Jingzhou army. Kuai Yue knew what kind of people the princes were, so he allowed the army of the princes to enter Hedong.
It's easy, but it's a little difficult to let them leave. In this division of interests, Hanoi belongs to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao has always had plans for the land of Sanfu in order to further restrict the development of the Jingzhou Army.
"The general wants to attack Wenxi, but I don't have the talent, so I am willing to lead a large army there." Liu Bei said.
Cai Mao was overjoyed when he heard this. He had been thinking about how to weaken Liu Bei's strength. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei stood up at this time and said, "General Liu, just make it clear if you have any requests."
Liu Bei was secretly happy when he saw Cai Mao being so proud. His attack on Wenxi was just a cover-up on the surface. In fact, he wanted to deepen his influence in the Jingzhou army. Under the unremitting planning of him and Zhuge Liang, the Jingzhou army was
Thirty percent of the generals have secretly defected and are willing to obey Liu Bei's orders.
After learning about Zhao Yun's troop deployment in Hedong, Zhuge Liang believed that the opportunity had come and asked Cai Mao for a battle at this time. Cai Mao would definitely not refuse.
"I only have more than 2,000 men in my hands. I am more than willing but not strong enough to attack Wenxi. If the general is willing to send 10,000 people to help, I am confident that I can defeat Wenxi." Liu Bei said.
Cai Mao was silent for a moment and said: "Xuande, there is no such thing as joking in the army."
Liu Bei said sternly: "If Wenxi cannot be defeated, there is no need for the general to take action, Bei will kill him on his own."
Cai Mao laughed and said: "With Liu Shijun here, why worry about not being able to defeat Wenxi."
Kuai Yue on the side had a bad premonition after seeing Liu Bei's calm and calm performance. Although Liu Bei had remained silent in the army during this period, he still had great influence in the army.
A huge improvement, this is where Kuai Yue was wary of Liu Bei.
Although Cai Mao had a strong position in Jingzhou, he still seemed a little inadequate in front of Liu Bei. Liu Bei had been on the battlefield for many years and had experienced many things. He even suspected that there was an ulterior secret behind Liu Bei's actions.
"I have agreed." Cai Hao stared at Liu Bei with burning eyes and said, "If Wenxi cannot be defeated, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Liu Bei cupped his hands and called him.
After Liu Bei left, Kuai Yue whispered: "General, Liu Bei is not an ordinary person and should not be underestimated."
Cai Hao said nonchalantly: "Liu Bei is nothing more than that." After breaking through Jiguan, Cai Hao was indeed overly confident. He was no longer as cautious about Liu Bei as before. What a credit it was to break through Jiguan. He even thought
After returning to Jingzhou, what kind of rewards will the imperial court receive? Maybe the position of general will fall on him.
Liu Bei gathered 10,000 soldiers and horses, together with his own officers, and gathered them together. There were more than 12,000 people in total. Thinking of Wen Xi, they came in force. As for the generals Liu Bei selected, they were secretly loyal to Liu Bei from the Jingzhou army.
General, Liu Bei borrowed troops from Cai Mao and had no intention of returning them. As for the generals of the Jingzhou Army who did not obey orders, Liu Bei had many ways to deal with them.
After entering Wenxi, Wei Yan immediately ordered the defenders in the city to strengthen the city wall. Jiguan was so dangerous, but he was defeated by the Jingzhou Army's Thunderbolt Chariot. This incident made Wei Yan realize the importance of the city wall.
