Chapter 3408: The opposite direction

early morning.

Jixian.

Yuyang and Jixian can almost be said to be a relationship between lips and teeth.

In the Ji County Government Office, the lights were all night long.

Xiahou Heng sat on the upper head, his face a little pale.

At the end of last year, he was transferred from Yecheng to Youzhou, serving as the logistics supervisor of the Youzhou front, replacing the original position of Xiahou Shang. As soon as he took office, Xiahou Heng felt that something was wrong in Youzhou.

Something is very wrong.

In the past few years, there have been dozens of battles, all of which have been large and small, and the soldiers who have been killed or injured will not be mentioned, and countless innocent people have been implicated.

In addition, this area is colder than other areas of the Han Dynasty, so many capable people in Youzhou are trying their best to move to the Central Plains, or some other place, and even those who escape to Liaodong!

This made Xiahou Heng, who originally wanted to come to Youzhou to show his skills and show his ability to manage logistics and civil affairs, undoubtedly a skilled woman could not cook without rice.

This is a very headache-inducing problem.

There are not few people who eat, but few people who produce food.

what to do?

Of course, Xiahou Heng knew the importance of cultivation and rest, but the current war did not allow him to do anything to recuperate, so he could only let the people of Youzhou continue to suffer!

Could it be that even if the nobles who come here to be officials suffer?

But this approach has caused a more serious vicious cycle.

Even if the number of soldiers from Jizhou or Yuzhou is transferred to Youzhou, it is a huge problem. No one likes to come to this snowy place, and no one likes to go to an area where bloody battles are possible at any time.

The country is not a country, the people's livelihood is in decline, the life is devastated, and so on. All negative words can be used in Youzhou.

Xiahou Heng finally survived the winter and the spring. When it was the autumn harvest season, he still thought about how much he could breathe down so that there would be some glorious traces of his performance, but Zhao Yun came!

The Northern Territory Army of the Cavalry broke through Gubeikou. The defense system of Youzhou was like paper. The control of the Cao army in Youzhou was shaking. Before Xiahou Heng could come to his senses from this amazing news, the news of Yuyang being surrounded was here!

what to do?

Save or not?

Although there is a plan and agreement between Xiahou Heng and Cao Chun, the situation is changing too quickly now!

Can the original plan still work?

It is obviously inappropriate to not save it.

Not to mention how "not saving the dead" happens, it will be destructive to the Cao army, especially the emotional connection between the Cao family and the Xiahou family, just those cavalry in Yuyang City. However, there are few field cavalry left in Cao army. If they fall into Yuyang like this, then what will be used to block the cavalry army when they head south to Jizhou in the future?

During the previous battles, the Youzhou army suffered considerable damage, especially the war horses.

In addition to being able to run, this kind of delicate odd hooves requires no vision, no sense of smell, and strong attack power. Only slap in the jaws. The skin is not rough, flesh is not thick, and the bones are easily broken. Even the blood circulation and cooling system is a big guy with a fake product. If there is no human assistance in feeding and helping to reproduce, there is absolutely no way to form a super-large scale in nature...

In order to supplement the war horses, Cao Chun had the idea of ​​attacking the Hu people, but unexpectedly, the Hu people were actually attacking Cao Chun's idea, and in the end they were picked up by the Northern Region.

Xiahou Heng summoned everyone to discuss, and it was obvious that everyone had no good idea.

In the end, Xiahou Heng was forced to do nothing, so some people said they could try to recruit some warriors-

Use a lot of money.

After all, no matter when, money can always have some effect. Humans die for money and birds die for food.

But the problem is that Xiahou Heng is short of money. He bluntly told everyone that the country is in danger and the Han Dynasty is about to overthrow. Since he is a subject of the Han Dynasty, he should take it as his responsibility to save the country!

Since this body can sacrifice one's life for the country, why do you still need money?!

When the war is settled, Youzhou will be stable in the future and the country will be stable, and everyone will have money...

Everyone took a breath of cold air together and contributed to the warmer and more pleasant Youzhou.

Yuyang needs to be rescued, but he cannot send all the troops in Jixian County, and he must also consider the safety of Jixian County itself. Therefore, Xiahou Heng decided to send half of the soldiers to rescue Yuyang.

The rescue decision was very difficult.

Because no matter who it is, he is unwilling to face the Cavalry Army now.

Everyone has an account in their hearts.

If it had been a few years ago, people now increasingly felt that the General of the Cavalry was qualified to be the world, so basically everyone was secretly studying Fei Qian and speculating whether Fei Qian was good or bad? After Fei Qian really took power, would he still be the hero of the Han Dynasty like in the past? Or would he be like Dong Zhuo?

No one knows the answer.

The source of information in Shandong is very chaotic, and with wars and roads being blocked, ordinary people rarely get any effective news.

A big man?

Emperor?

Nowadays, basically not many people really care. They can live, or settle down and have some food to eat. Many people are already very satisfied. However, in Shandong, there are still many people who think that Fei Qian will definitely be like Dong Zhuo. After all, wasn’t Dong Zhuo also a hero of the great man back then?

To be honest, Fei Qian was also domineering. After all, he forced Xu County to force the military and political power from the emperor and the court. Moreover, since that time, Fei Qian has been away from the Han Dynasty, which is very similar to Dong Zhuo back then. If Fei Qian had checks and balances now, he tried to divide the country and separatist the country. Then he would have done more things that would harm the country. If such a person was not a traitor in the Han Dynasty, who would be?

Therefore, in Shandong, including in Youzhou, many people are confused and can only follow others and do whatever others do. They are confused and difficult to distinguish right from wrong.

Just as Ji County was preparing for manpower and setting out to Yuyang to rescue Cao Chun, a scout ran into Ji County in panic, covered in mud and sweat, and his face was extremely pale: "The big thing is not good! Yi Jing fell!"

Xiahou Heng and everyone were shocked and stood up together.

Xiahou Heng pointed at the scout and asked sternly: "Is the news accurate?"

"The villain, the villain saw it with his own eyes..." The scout hurriedly described it.

The scout was originally just going to Yijing for daily contact, but unexpectedly, before he arrived at Yijing, he saw the fireworks soaring into the sky in Yijing. So he quietly approached a little, and found that the cavalry army that emerged from somewhere was raiding Yijing!

Yi Jing was actually lost!

Xiahou Heng and several subordinates looked at each other, with shocked expressions.

Youzhou is in danger.

Cao Chun is in danger too!

"Chief! General Cao is still confronting the Cavalry Army in Yuyang!" said a man in the lower leader, "Now that Yi Jing is lost, most of the retreat of Youzhou will be cut off! If so...If so...

If the two have not been expressed, everyone can understand the meaning.

Yi Jing is an important connection point between Youzhou and Jizhou. If it is captured by the Cavalry Army, it means that Youzhou has been cut off from its retreat!

Cao Chun, Xiahou Heng, and a group of people in Youzhou all mean that they will be surrounded by cavalry!

What surprised Xiahou Heng and others even more was that Yi Jing himself was located in a relatively back position, and there were also guards near the left and nearby. It was logically safe, but he was sneak attacked by the Cavalry Army!

For a moment, everyone felt awe and fear of the cavalry.

It seems that the next moment the Cavalry will appear anywhere...

Wei Yan, who made a big fuss in Jizhou last time, was also so incredible.

Xiahou Heng barely stabilized his emotions, hid his shaking hands in his sleeves, and then asked the scout several questions.

Where and where did the Cavalry Army appear?

How many people were there in the Cavalry Army that raided Yijing?

How many cavalry are there?

Have you seen any follow-up personnel?

Has Jizhou discovered that Yi Jing lost his destruction?

And so on.

There are some questions that the scouts can answer, and there are some questions that the scouts cannot answer at all.

The scout was very scared at that time. It would be very amazing to be able to take a closer look. After all, if he was discovered by the scout of the Cavalry Army, he would definitely not be able to come back alive.

what to do?

A new situation has emerged. Can Yuyang still save it?

The retreat was blocked. Even if Yuyang was saved, after losing Jizhou's support, the defeat of Youzhou had already entered the countdown.

The current situation is to either seize the tunnel as soon as possible and recover Yi Jing, or to inform Cao Chun quickly not to stay in Yuyang, withdraw his troops as soon as possible and escape from Youzhou!

Moreover, Xiahou Heng felt that the Cavalry Army could appear silently in Yijing, which must have received the support of some people, or Youzhou or Jizhou...

Otherwise, if you want to capture a city like Yi Jing, it would be impossible to have no movement in advance.

Now, Youzhou is being attacked on both sides...

No, three sides attack!

There are also these thieves from the inside!

Xiahou Heng's eyes swept around the people around him, trying to see who had the word "tit" written on his face, but obviously, he couldn't tell it.

The failure of Youzhou is a foregone conclusion.

Even if he went to support Cao Chun, it seemed like a drop in the bucket and was useless. Even if Xiahou Heng fought bravely and died on the battlefield, he would not be able to change the entire situation in Youzhou.

This situation makes people despair.

Xiahou Heng sighed long. Whether it was Dong Zhuo or Fei Qian, it seemed that they were so powerful and invincible to the people in Shandong, but both of them were rebellious against the Han Han who was chasing the country. Could it be that the Han Han was really going to be completely defeated?

"Sir! Take advantage of the fact that the Cavalry Army is not yet firm, please contact General Cao to retreat!"

"Now we can only retreat, otherwise we will be alone once we are surrounded!"

"Youzhou is just a small place, and it is not a pity to lose it, but Jizhou must not be a mistake!"

"What if all the troops are lost in Youzhou, what should I do if Jizhou?"

"Sir! Come on your own!

"The overall situation is the most important thing!"

Listening to the left and the right persuasion, the sweat beads on Xiahou Heng's face rolled down.

...

...

『Quick! Speed ​​up!』

Liu Ye sat in the car. Although he was shaken by the rugged road, he could only hold the vehicle's railing tightly to stabilize his body, but he still shouted, asking his subordinates to speed up the speed of their journey.

The scepter representing the emperor is shaking in front of the vehicle.

Vehicle, canopy.

Scepter, angel.

These things that were supposed to represent the dignity of the Han Dynasty, but now they are like this official road, which has been disrepaired and bumpy.

The gorgeous patterns on the vehicle have faded now, and even the clamps used to fix the scepter are loose, as if they will break at any time, which makes Liu Ye have to hold the scepter tightly in his arms while holding the vehicle on the railing.

It's like a drowning person, holding and holding the last driftwood.

"What's wrong with the front?!" Liu Ye suddenly saw something abnormal in front.

The group was moving forward and suddenly saw smoke and dust rising from the official road in the distance, but it was rather scattered, unlike any army, nor the towering dust of the cavalry.

『It looks like a pedestrian…』

When the word "traveler" was said, the guards were a little stuttering.

Because everyone knows that now, how can there be some ordinary "peeders" on the road north to Youzhou?

Sure enough, after walking for a while, I found that the people who were dragging on the road were a group of ragged and tired refugees, or refugees.

Liu Ye looked at it and his heart skipped a beat.

"Go and ask! It's from there!"

Liu Ye ordered.

The guard answered, stepped forward to ask, and quickly turned back.

"I was rushed..." The guard replied, "Those people are from the border of Jizhou, because they want to...

"Strengthen the walls and clear the fields?" Liu Ye gritted his teeth and asked who gave the order?!"

The tactics of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness have not been seen before, nor are they useless. But now the emperor has just issued an edict, and as a result, a firm walls and clearing the wilderness here will be built to migrate the people on the border. What does this mean?

What's more, the problem now is Youzhou!

What Jizhou needs to do is to find a way to support Youzhou, rather than rushing to clear your ties with Youzhou first!

The guard went to ask around, but couldn't ask anything.

The result is "the command from the top".

Then, there was nothing...

There is no specific person who issued it, and I don’t know where the order came from. Anyway, that’s it. The meaning of “upper”, the commands “upper” and the writing of “upper” are nothing, and I don’t know who issued the order.

『…』

Liu Ye was silent for a moment.

From a certain level, he is also "top", "top", "higher", but he still knows nothing, even if Liu Ye knows that this matter is likely to be caused by an official in the local area.

When the people move away, there is naturally no need for the capital to exist. The officials can also express themselves openly that it is not that they do not want to fight against the Cavalry, but that the "leaders" want to do this. They are also helpless. They understand each other and tolerate each other...

Liu Ye held the Emperor's scepter, and he could come forward to take care of it, but does he have time to take care of it?

Is it important for these refugees' "small details" or the "big situation" of the entire war situation?

For the sake of the overall situation, you can ignore the minor details?

Liu Ye gritted his teeth and sat back in the car, "Down! Go forward! Speed ​​up, speed up!"

Above the official road.

The worn, faded canopy car heads north.

The ragged and numb-looking refugees looked south.

Neither side looked at each other again.

...

...

early morning,

Yuyang City.

Cao Chun looked tired, and he patrolled the city on the broken city of Yuyang with a few equally tired guards.

His figure appeared in the morning mist, somewhat lonely and cold.

There are many people who are willing to enjoy themselves, and few people who are willing to endure hardships.

People within the Xiahou clan of the Cao family also conform to this rule.

Cao Chun hasn't had a good sleep for two days, but when he was extremely sleepy, he took a nap somewhere. At this time, his face turned black and his feet were weak, and he felt like he was floating in the clouds. He really wanted to lie down and have a good sleep, but there were more and more well railings and rushing cars outside the city, especially the guys who were larger than ordinary rushing cars in the distance below the city, which made him anxious and made him unable to fall asleep.

Zhao Yun's catapult cart demolished Yuyang's fortifications and destroyed it, and even cracks broke out in the city gate.

Cao Chun asked someone to add stone strips and sandbags to prevent the Cavalry from breaking the door directly with gunpowder. Even at some point, Cao Chun hoped that the Cavalry Army would send people to blow up the city gate, because Cao Chun arranged some turmeric oil near the city gate early...

But it is obvious that Zhao Yun did not follow the ordinary path.

Such a large well railing seems to be just to allow war horses to directly mount the city wall!

Crazy!

Must be crazy!

How could there be a siege weapon that can make war horses climb to the city?!

Cao Chun had a vague feeling that Zhao Yun seemed to be "experimenting".

The large catapult cart before, as well as the enlarged well railings and rushing cars now, seem to prove Cao Chun’s guess.

The cavalry...

Originally, cavalry were not good at siege, but if the well railing was large enough, it would allow cavalry to run directly to the top of the city...

Cao Chun couldn't help but tremble.

How many cities are there in Jizhou and Yuzhou that can compare with Yuyang?

If there are horses on the top of Yuyang City, how many walls cannot be raised?

Cao Chun dared not think about it.

If Fei Qian failed to come back in time or could not withstand this battle between Cao Cao and Fei Qian, even if Fei Qian finally saved Tongguan and Guanzhong, it would be like a broken arm!

Shandong will stabilize because of this, and the Cavalry Army will not dare to easily occupy the desert, threaten or even attack Youzhou!

However, now everything has changed.

The sun shone through the clouds, shining on the broken Yuyang city wall, and in the formation of the cavalry under the city.

Zhao Yun formed a simple formation with the word "六". In front were the advancement of siege equipment and troops, and behind was a cavalry array divided into two parts.

Under the three-color flag flying high, Zhao Yun sat upright on the white horse, looking at Yuyang City in the distance with a cold expression.

Recovering Youzhou and rebuilding the land of Yanzhao was a long-term wish buried in Zhao Yun's heart.

When he left the Heishan Army and defected to Feiqian, Zhao Yun wanted to do something for his hometown. When he truly set foot on the land of Youzhou and saw the withering of Youzhou, this idea became even stronger.

But first, we must remove these pests that are a disaster to Youzhou!

Zhao Yun raised his hand and waved it down.
