The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

"If the last general leads a soldier in front, and the general leads a soldier in the back, echoing back and forth, and walking slowly, nothing will be lost."

"This..." Wenpin's proposal moved Xiahoudun's heart, and with Wenpin's support, it was much smoother to go to Luzhou to rescue Xiahouyuan. Even a general like Xiahoudun had to consider Wenpin's opinion.

"It's still me in the front and the general in the back." As soon as Xiahou Dun said this, he had actually decided to go to Luzhou.

"No." Wen Pin shook his head and said, "As the commander-in-chief, the general can take risks."

Immediately, Wen Pin led [-] soldiers and horses in front, and Xiahou Dun led [-] soldiers and horses behind, and went to Luzhou.

In a dense forest on a high mountain, Zhang Ren with a stern face watched Xiahou Dun's army split up and headed for Luzhou. Hit Xiahou Dun!"

In Zhang Ren's view, it was the biggest mistake to lure Cao's army into Yizhou. Cao Cao was powerful and threatened Yizhou far more than Sun Quan.

Chapter 536

Xiahou Dun's army hadn't marched for a long time before they met the fast cavalry sent by Xiahouyuan to report. When Xiahoudun learned that although Luzhou fell into the hands of Sun Quan, Xiahouyuan was safe and sound, he was relieved, but his heart was heavy.

Sure enough, Zhang Ren and Sun Quan teamed up, and he lost [-] troops, which can be said to be a serious blow to his vitality. Originally, he was the strongest, but now he has no military advantage.

What worried Xiahoudun the most was that Zhang Ren and Sun Quan joined forces, and it was impossible to let go of this opportunity to annihilate him. It is conceivable that in front, their soldiers and horses were waiting for him to die.

"General, retreat, return to Yidong, and wait for the lord's reinforcements." Wenpin shook his head, opposing the army to continue advancing.

"Impossible!" Xiahou Dun was still thinking, and Cao Zhangxian shouted, "Lujin Pass is close at hand. We only need to drive Sun Quan out of Lujin Pass. Zhang Ren is nothing, and we can give up now."

"It's not like there's no chance." As Cao Cao's son, since Cao Zhang spoke, they had to think about it. Dong Zhao said, "Although Zhang Ren and Sun Quan joined hands, they are mortal enemies and will be of the same mind. Previously, we were strong , forcing the two to join forces, and now that our strength has been greatly damaged, the two of us will definitely not be of the same mind, it can be broken."

"Uncle, why don't you recruit soldiers and horses from all over the world to join us, and you can defeat the two of them." Cao Anmin was unwilling to give up just like this, and they didn't bring all the soldiers and horses. The city is now in a critical situation, and these soldiers and horses are transferred here, and their strength is still greater than that of Zhang Ren and Sun Quan.

"Military division..." Xia Houdun was in a dilemma, and he was not willing to give up like this, and finally turned his attention to Cheng Yu. With this large army, Xiahou Dun could not ignore only Wenpin and Cheng Yu.

Wen Pin was the chief general of one party, he was trusted and highly valued by Cao Cao, and he was very capable. Cheng Yu was also Cao Cao's confidant and adviser, and he was a military adviser with the army. The opinions of both of them were very important.

"General, meet General Miaocai first." Cheng Yu said, and everyone immediately agreed that Luzhou may not be attacked, and Lujin Pass may not be breached, but Xia Houyuan must be fine, and he is the top general of the Cao Cao Group. If Xia Houyuan made a mistake , Even if they finally win Yizhou, they will be punished by Cao Cao.

"As for whether to continue marching." Cheng Yu thought for a while and said, "Just as Gongren said, Zhang Ren and Sun Quan are not of one mind, and without my threat, the two will definitely turn against each other, so the general only needs to lead the army to retreat for a hundred miles, and then we will be ready." Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

"Okay." Xiahou Dun quickly accepted Cheng Yu's opinion, sent troops to meet Xiahouyuan, and stopped marching towards Luzhou.

When Zhang Ren learned that Xiahou Dun's army was not moving forward or backward, he immediately knew Xiahou Dun's plan, and said with a cold smile: "Send a letter to Sun Quan, send troops out of Luzhou, and attack Xiahou Dun back and forth with us. .”

"Can!"

When Sun Quan received Zhang Ren's letter, he agreed to send troops without much thought. As the overlord of one side, Sun Quan was not an idiot, and he would not know how to take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill Xiahou Dun first. Then who else could stop him from taking Yizhou.

Sun Quan knew that both Xiahoudun and Zhang Ren had plans, but he also had his own plans. It was in his best interest to unite with Zhang Ren to kill Xiahoudun first. The goal is the entire Yizhou.

Xiahou Yuan quickly joined Xiahou Dun with the remnants of his troops, and when he was about to retreat, he received an urgent report that Sun Quan's soldiers had left Luzhou to attack them. Behind them also appeared the Yizhou army, forming a siege.

"There are enemy troops on the front and rear roads, and a deadly battle is inevitable." Wenpin was helpless. Yizhou is like this. The center of Yizhou is flat, and it is almost impossible to encircle them. However, Yizhou is surrounded by mountains and the terrain is dangerous. , roads are scarce and easily blocked.

"Fight!" Xia Houdun didn't say much anymore, he didn't expect Zhang Ren and Sun Quan to be so decisive that they wouldn't give him a chance.

"kill!"

The battle quickly unfolded, Sun Quan's army arrived first, and did not hesitate to attack Xiahou Dun. Xiahou Yuan led [-] troops to fight, Xiahou Dun was in the middle to support, and Wen Pin led [-] troops to fight Zhang Ren's army.

"What's going on, where are the Yizhou soldiers and horses now?"

However, Sun Quan and Xia Houyuan have been fighting for an hour, and there is still no trace of Zhang Ren's soldiers and horses. Wen Pin, who is about to fight to the death, is full of doubts. Sun Quan alone can't threaten them. Without Zhang Ren's cooperation, Sun Quan will be defeated. According to Zhang Ren's strategy, Would not do such an unwise thing.

"Report!" Not long after, the scout came back: "Yizhou's army has suddenly retreated, and it is already twenty miles away."

"What!?" This result made Wen Pin full of disbelief. Zhang Ren had cut his own way. Without Sun Quan's restraint, Zhang Ren was their opponent.

"Explore again!"

Wenpin still didn't believe that Zhang Ren sold Sun Quan just like that, and sent scouts to investigate again.

"Damn Zhang Ren!"

When Sun Quan on the other side received the news of Zhang Ren's retreat, Wen Pin had already led an army to kill, and the exhausted Sun Quan's army was defeated and fled in defeat.

"Why did Zhang Ren retreat?"

Xiahoudun sent Xiahouyuan and Wenpin to pursue Sun Quan, and at the same time led his own troops to prevent Zhang Ren from killing his carbine, but when the scouts came to report, Zhang Ren had no intention of following behind. The army retreated quickly, not only did not stop at all along the way , and even took away the soldiers and horses left behind in various cities.

"Only Chengdu is in danger, and the emperor urgently calls Zhang Ren back for help." Dong Zhao's eyes flashed brightly, and he quickly guessed the reason.

"Liu Bei has sent troops..." Cheng Yu opened his mouth, and everyone's hearts sank. Now Liu Zhang can urgently recruit Zhang Ren to help. There will be no one else. Cao Cao and Sun Quan's army are here. As for Di The clan soldiers and horses are not as dangerous as Liu Zhang.

"Send people to investigate quickly." Xiahou Dun knew the seriousness of the matter. If Liu Bei sent troops to Yizhou and forced Zhang Ren to return to Chengdu at all costs, then it would not be so easy for them to seize Yizhou.

"Attack Sun Quan with all our strength and occupy Lujin Pass. At the same time, send a message to the lord that if Liu Bei attacks Yizhou, we will need reinforcements." Cheng Yu quickly made an opinion, and Xiahou Dun immediately had a choice, and now he drove Sun Quan out of Yizhou. Let's talk about occupying the southern part of Yizhou.

At this time, Sun Quan's face was livid and he was in a state of embarrassment. The Jiangdong army was no longer in formation, and they fled quickly after him.

"My lord, it must be that Chengdu is in danger. Liu Zhang urgently called Zhang Ren back for help. It should be Liu Bei who sent troops to Yizhou." Lu Su rode his horse and followed Sun Quan, and said anxiously: "My lord's army has lost this battle, so we should withdraw from Yizhou. , preserve strength, and wait and see the changes in the world."

Now Zhang Ren doesn't care how angry Sun Quan is, he only knows that he must return to Chengdu as soon as possible, his master will be killed, and there is still time to care about your Sun Quan.

Chapter 537

"Your Majesty, generals Pang Xi and Zhang Yi are back and just entered the city..." The voice of the report became smaller and smaller, and everyone could tell that something happened to Pang Xi and Zhang Yi.

"Didn't the two generals lead the troops to reinforce Mianyang? How could they return to Chengdu?" Liu Zhang's face darkened, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

"Here, Your Majesty." Huang Quan said in a low voice, "Generals Pang and Zhang were caught in an ambush and suffered heavy losses. General Pang Xi was injured in his arm, and General Zhang Yi was unconscious. Not one out of ten troops survived."

"what!?"

This news made everyone panic and uneasy. Pang Xi and Zhang Yi brought 4 elite soldiers, which is half of the defenders who stayed behind in Chengdu. Now the entire city of Chengdu has only more than [-] troops.

"God dies me too...!"

Liu Zhang was dazzled suddenly, and the eunuch beside him was also in a trance, and he didn't support Liu Zhang immediately, causing Liu Zhang to almost fall to the ground.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Li Hui hurriedly said, "Chengdu City has high walls and strong walls, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are still tens of thousands of elites in the city, and the food and grass are abundant. It is easy to hold on for a few months."

"Of course." Liu Ba also comforted, "We only need to wait for three days, and the army of General Zhang Ren and General Yan Yan will surely arrive. At that time, the enemies outside the city will have to flee in haste."

"Declaration, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan will not be outside of Chengdu within two days, and the family will be exterminated!" Liu Zhang suddenly grabbed the life-saving grass, and immediately passed the edict to Zhang Ren and Yan Yan.

After hearing Liu Zhang's edict, Li Hui, Liu Ba and others frowned and said nothing. It was unwise for Liu Zhang to issue such an edict at this time. If he was not careful, he might force the general to rebel, and it would easily disturb the morale of the army.

But looking at Liu Zhang's current situation, Li Hui and others could only shake their heads, helpless, it would be better not to provoke Liu Zhang now, and they believed that Zhang Ren and Yan Yan were absolutely loyal and would not rebel because of this edict.

"Report!"
