Chapter 715 The Mire
The snow melted between the foothills, and the bare branches sprouted new buds, and the sun finally became warm. A woman was wearing a long dress in a green dress, carrying a long sword, followed by a thin horse. She walked through this bright and bright spring scenery. Her originally round cheeks were a little thinner, and her whole body was much clearer than before. She was confused before leaving, and now she looked like a ranger.
She was almost crossing the Yellow River, and saw Dongjun where she had been in childhood, and Yecheng under the jurisdiction of Yuan Shao, who once lived in the four states. At the end of the year, she came to Zhongshan Kingdom. When the lights of thousands of families gathered together, she rode the thin horse at the foot of the Black Mountain, looking at the snow-covered mountains, remembering the man who rejected her once whistled in the Wushan Forest.
Now, along the way, Cao Yu has come out of the annoyance, indignation, and even unspeakable sadness that has been around for that period, but she doesn't want to go back like this. She looks at the farmers who are starting to sow spring in the fields and vendors passing by the road. Such a world is much more exciting than the mansion that can only see the sky at one glance.
He walked across the village path with muddy shoes. The reins on the hilt of the sword swayed in front of the hem of the skirt as he walked. Cao Yu took casual steps around and looked at the spring scenery. When he was hungry, he would eat a bite of the dry food he bought at the market that he passed by not long ago. He could not finish it and fed it to the thin horse beside him.
Soon, one person and one horse entered the village ahead and knocked on the doors of several families. No one opened them. I thought it was because I was busy in the fields. During this year, during the spring sowing, several households all had to do things. Cao Yu didn't think much about it. When he passed the village road, he saw two thatched houses in front of him. An old woman with white hair was trembling under the fence, holding a wooden spoon to water the vegetables in the field.
"Old man... where is this?" Cao Yu tied the reins, walked over to help the old woman water it, and then scooped a spoonful and wanted to drink it.
The old woman's eyes were turbid, and she reached out to block the wooden spoon, "This is the territory of Gecheng... I'm thirsty, this water is dirty! Wait." She turned around and walked into the house tremblingly, scooped out a spoonful of water, handed it over, and looked at the woman drinking water, she stuttered and smiled, and there were not many left of her teeth, "Girl... Are you going south?"
"Go to the north." Cao Yu finished drinking in big gulp and pointed to the north.
"Then you can't go... go back south quickly." The old man pushed her twice anxiously, "You are still young, don't lose your life... I'm leaving, you're about to fight."
Soon, the old woman's son came back hurriedly from outside. When he saw the strange woman, his face turned red and he was so honest that he couldn't tell him. Finally, he was beaten by the old mother. Then he talked about the situation outside. The northern army had already moved south and was about to press forward soon.
A day ago, the White Wolf Cavalry and Heishan Cavalry, stationed in Yi County, began to move south, launching offensives against cities and towns under the jurisdiction of Jizhou along the way, but they did not really attack the city. As long as the county soldiers who did not leave the city to fight, they would continue to advance southward. After the news came out, all villages along the way were alarmed by the sudden war. Many people began to go south with their families and flee the land before the war began.
In many years after Yuan Shao's destruction, there were only wars in Jingzhou, Jiangdong and even Xuzhou. However, in Jizhou, people occasionally only knew some things from the merchants who were traveling south and north, and gradually adapted to the years without war. The fertile fields were replanted, and people returned to their hometowns where they were born and raised, and continued to reproduce and reproduce like their previous generation.
However, the war suddenly approached. In this spring season, the man who was reluctant to leave sat on the ridge of the field and cried loudly. His wife sat there staring blankly at the crops she had just planted. The ignorant young child was jumping barefoot on the cold soil. Occasionally, he looked at the long dragon passing by between the roads, and the noise was noisy.
The rich family drove the carriage driven by the horse, which contained valuable things, and asked his wife and children to follow the carriage tightly, pushing them behind and pushing them hard, thrusting through the crowd. The ragged house, his thin body was rushing around with a surging crowd, and the old man couldn't stand the trail with a cane and fell to the ground. The child looked helplessly at the bustling crowd in his mother's arms, and was so scared that he cried...
The wind and cranes were in a panic.
Without a solid city wall, and her father's back sheltered from the wind and rain, Cao Yu finally saw another side of the world. The surging sea of people made her feel the coming of war from the north. Like everyone here, she was carried south by a crowd. Not long after she left, the war suddenly began.
On February 20th, two cavalrymen from Bailang and Heishan raided Zhongshan Kingdom, and the Gecheng, Zhengxian and Yangcheng along the way fell.
Today, the most powerful military advancement is the governor of the North. Gongsun Zhi, who is from north to south, from east to west, almost every battle is won. Cao Cao in the Central Plains in the south, compared with Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others who are further south, the soldiers are considered elite, with high-yield land and a large population. However, because of this, the way north subway hoofs head south was blocked.
On the seventh day of the third month, after the two cavalrymen in the north went south, Yu Jin, who was in Zhongshan, summoned 10,000 troops to build a defense line. However, Zhao Yun and Yan Rou on the opposite side did not attack the city. They turned east and quickly rushed straight to Anxi and Liwu. The Youzhou Jinbu immediately followed, and Guo Si's Xiliang infantry blocked Zhongshan Kingdom and shot the city wall into the letter of surrender.
"Where is a perfect man in the battle! Yu Jin, lead the army to surrender."
On the city wall, Yu Jin looked at the crowd of people, drew out the long sword from his waist, laughed a few times, and then shouted loudly: "Yu Jin stands tall and stands tall, He Yan dies, come if you are not afraid of death."
The wolves on the east road rushed from the north one after another, and after crossing Yi County, they destroyed the whole way. Even though Zhongshan Kingdom had Yu Jin's defense, more cavalry directly bypassed the city, but they did not stay for too long. On the fifteenth day of the same month, Li Dian, who reinforced Zhongshan, quickly defeated him. Zhao Yun almost killed the opponent. After the defeated soldiers fled, they merged into the fleeing people's team, causing even more chaos.
In May, news of war ignited in Jizhou north of the Yellow River. It quickly crossed the Taotao River at an accelerated speed of 800 miles, passed through Yanzhou, and finally entered Xuchang, Yuzhou. Not long after, Cao Cao immediately ordered his troops and horses to go north quickly, summoning Xiahou Yuan, who was stationed in Chenliu, Cao Chun, 20,000 soldiers and 1,000 tiger and leopard cavalry, and Lejin from Dongjun, rushed to Julu County and Xu Huang, Li Dian and others to meet.
Not long after, Gongsun Zhi left Taihang Mountain, passed Yishui from Wuruan Pass, and entered Jizhou. He saw Yu Jin who was guarding the city and attracted a person around him.
"Zi Hui, go and persuade him to surrender."
