Yu Mi did not cause much trouble to Huang Zhong...

In fact, when the defeated soldiers in Ban County spread the news of Xiahou Yuan's capture to Yu Mi, the entire Yu Mi was inexplicably panic.

In this case, Huang Zhongbing was outside the city.

The Cao army of Yumi made almost no resistance and opened the city to surrender.

Conquering Yu Mi not only means that the Han army opened the gateway to Guanzhong, but also indicates that Cao Ren will face a situation where he will be attacked from both sides. Afterwards, Zhao Yun rushed to attack 200 miles and conquered Du Yang. The guards of Du Yang were even inferior to Yu Mi. After Zhao Yun arrived in Du Yang, he only shot an arrow letter, and Du Yang Chang opened the city to surrender that night. Yu Mi and Du Yang fell one after another, which also surprised Cao Ren and was at a loss.

He never expected that Xu Shu would actually play such a joke.

On the surface, he was attacking Qi County forcibly, but in fact he wanted to attack Qi County. More importantly, Xiahou Yuan was captured alive, which also put Cao Ren in a dilemma. Continuing to defend Qi County? It seems that there is little significance... What's more, Zhao Yun stationed his troops in Duyang and could attack the flanks of Qi County at any time; but it would be a bit unreasonable if he retreated like this! However, Cao Ren was Cao Ren after all, and he would be very decisive when encountering problems. The day after learning that the Han army had invaded Guanzhong, Cao Ren ordered the withdrawal of Qi County.

"Zi Dan, you will immediately rush to Ji County and defend Ji County with me. You must not let the Han army advance."

Cao Ren came to Cao Zhen and gave him instructions.

Cao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then bowed to take the order, "Don't worry, General, you are really in Mei County, and you are really dead."

He used ten words to express his determination in his heart. However, Cao Ren did not feel much joy, but instead felt a faint worry. Cao Zhen liked to be serious. If Mei County could not be defended, he would probably live and die with Mei County.

Although Mei County is important, it is not the result that Cao Ren hopes to see.

So after hesitating for a moment, he whispered: "Zi Dan, you are the pillar of my Cao family, and you must not die easily.

Even if Ji County is lost, you don’t have to worry too much... If Ji County cannot stand firm, you will immediately withdraw to Wugong. I will send troops to garrison Wugong and support you at any time. No matter what, you will have a chance to avenge your shame when you are alive. If you really die in Ji County, you will never have a chance."

Cao Zhen hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

Immediately, Cao Ren ordered the withdrawal of Qi County and led his troops to return to Chang'an quickly.

After Wei Yan received the news, he did not listen to Xiahou Lan's dissuasion and led his troops to pursue him. As a result, Cao Ren ambushed at Gukou. If it weren't for the timely rescue of Yangshu, Wei Yan would have almost died in Gukou. Then, Cao Ren set up a heavy army at Gukou to resist the Han army's troops, and he personally led the army back to Chang'an to appease the situation in Chang'an. After all, the Western Liang army invaded Guanzhong, which made people panic in Chang'an City.

No one could figure out when the Xiliang Army would come to the city, so many people fled with their families.

After Cao Ren arrived in Chang'an, he first stabilized the situation.

Immediately, he sent someone to Xudu to deliver a letter and informed Cao ** about the situation in Guanzhong.

Cao Ren did not beg Cao ** for reinforcements, because in his opinion, Cao ** is now a great enemy, and his troops are not sufficient, so it is estimated that it will be difficult to send reinforcements. If you want to resist the Han army, you can only find a way by yourself. After Cao Ren sent a messenger, he ordered the recruitment of troops in Chang'an and dispatched troops to Maoling and Huaili to strengthen the defense of the two places. If Cao Zhen could not resist the attack of the Han army, he could only rely on the terrain of Huaili and Maoling to defend Chang'an... But even so, Cao Ren was not very calm.

After following Cao ** for a long time, he experienced countless wars of all sizes and greatness.

But to be honest, Cao Ren has never been so nervous at this moment... The reason is very simple! The offensive of the Western Liang Army was too strong.

"It's only three days!"

Cao Ren paced back and forth in the Chang'an Prefecture, his face turned pale.

"I know very well that Zidan's surname is Zi. If it weren't for the tight war, he would never ask me for help.

Unexpectedly, the Xiliang Army was so fierce. Zhong Yao sent another 30,000 people to Guanzhong... I was worried that Zidan would not be able to hold on."

In the side hall, a man who was nearly thirty years old and quite handsome was sitting next to him.

He could not help but smile bitterly when he heard Cao Ren's muttering, "I heard that the Xiliang Army used many new weapons this time. Although they had not heard of them using Tianlei Fire, they had transferred 500 winch crossbows. I have heard that the power of the winch crossbow was very terrible. It is said that within three hundred steps, it can penetrate the iron armor... Although Mei County is strong and thick, it is probably difficult to resist such winch crossbows. If Zidan continues to stick to Mei County, it is likely that the city will be destroyed and the people will die, and it will be decided early."

The young man was the son of Yang Xiu, the former Grand Marshal Yang Biao.

In the third year of Jian'an, Yang Biao was imprisoned by Man Chong and almost died in prison. Fortunately, his relatives and friends were rescued and finally left the tiger's mouth.

Before this, Yang Biao was always loyal to the Han Dynasty and always hoped to help the Han emperor take power.

But after experiencing that disaster, Yang Biao was obviously afraid, let alone continue to fight Cao **. In the fourth year of Jian'an, Yang Biao returned to Hongnong's hometown to recuperate, staying in the door, and not contacting anyone. However, he still asked Yang Xiu to stay in Xudu, hoping that Yang Xiu would have a future. Originally, Yang Xiu lived in Xudu quite well, because he was extremely literary and extremely witty, so he was highly valued by Cao Zhi. However, in the seventh year of Jian'an, Yang Xiu fell ill and returned to Hongnong's hometown to recuperate.

Later, Xiahou Dun became the chief minister of Jingzhao and appointed Yang Xiu as the chief minister.

I have to say that Xiahou Dun did a good job in this... Although Yang Biao resigned from office and did not go out, the power of the Hongnong Yang family, as a Jingzhao clan, cannot be underestimated. In Guanzhong area, the status of the Hongnong Yang family can definitely be among the top. Yang Xiu is always talented and well recognized by the Guanzhong clan. After Xiahou Dun recruited Yang Xiu, he also received great support from the Guanzhong clan to a large extent.

After Xiahou Dun left Guanzhong, Cao Ren took over the position of Jingzhao Yin.

However, Yang Xiu's status did not change because of this. Instead, as time went by, he became more and more respected by Cao Ren...

He said it right. The city walls of Mei County are very different from those of Hulao Pass.

Not to mention, in order to resist the attacks of the Han army, Cao Peng ordered people to strengthen the thickness and height of the Hulao Pass wall after arriving at Hulao Pass.

Under such circumstances, Hulao Pass is still in danger.

Then the defense strength is far inferior to that of Hulao Pass, and naturally it cannot resist...

"But, the two armies are fighting in full swing, and Zidan probably dares not retreat rashly."

Cao Ren also knew that if Cao Zhen continued to defend Ji County, there would be more and more dangers. However, the war between the two sides was in full swing, and either side retreated could lead to a large-scale defeat. If this situation really occurred, even Cao Ren would not dare to bear the consequences.

Yang Xiu pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "The general is waiting for Xiu, and he has always been kind.

Xiu has been effective until now, but has not made any contributions... If Zidan continues to defend Mei County, there will be danger. But if he retreats rashly, the situation may be worse. Xiu wishes to go to Wugong to cover General Zidan's evacuation. Then Xiu resists the Xiliang army through Wugong and tries to fight for the general's opportunity."

"this……"

Cao Ren hesitated for a moment and said softly: "I am grateful for this kind of heart to be a good ancestor.

But the problem is that I don’t have many soldiers to dispatch now, so Dezuruo goes to martial arts..."

Cao Ren is telling the truth!

Guanzhong has about 100,000 troops, which sounds very abundant. But the problem is that these more than 100,000 troops must be stationed at each pass. Longmen Mountain must be stationed to resist Hedong's troops. Even if Du Ji is not in Hedong now, there are still large troops stationed in Hedong, eyeing Guanzhong. In addition, Zuo Fengyi also needs to station troops to restrain the enemy in Bingzhou; Maoling and Huaili need to station troops, and Chang'an must also have troops stationed, otherwise there will inevitably be chaos... One place on the left and the other on the right. In the end, Cao Ren calculated that there were very few troops available in his hands. In this case, even if Yang Xiu was willing, how could he rescue Cao Zhen?

But Yang Xiu laughed after hearing this.

"The general is too underestimating my Hongnong Yang family...

Although Yang's reputation is not as great as before, there are still thousands of guests.

I have ordered people to draw 3,000 servants from Hongnong to wait for my order. As long as the general gives the order, no need for the general to send a soldier, Xiu can go to Wugong and pick up Cao Zidan."

After hearing this, Cao Ren couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He nodded repeatedly and said, "Since that's the case, I'll bother Laudezu."

Luoyang, Tongtu Lane.

Sima Fang suffered from the cold of the wind, so he felt quite uncomfortable.

Since Sima Fu left Luoyang, Sima Fang felt a little restless. But when he thought about it carefully, there seemed to be no problem... With the start of the Battle of Hulao, Cao ** returned to Luoyang, and Sima Fang's panic feeling became stronger and stronger.

He is old and has something to do, so he falls ill on the couch.

Fortunately, there are no shortage of doctors in Luoyang City, and the diagnosis and treatment are timely, and finally there is no major problem...

But even so, Sima Fang still felt weak in his body. So he closed the door and thanked the guests, stayed at home to take care of his body, and did not go out of the door, and did not step on the two doors.

On this occasion, the setting sun shines on the Tongcao Lane.

A mist rose on the surface of the Luoshui River, covering the copper camel alley, appearing and looming.

Sima Fang took a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and climbed to Xizhao Pavilion... Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the scenery of the bronze camel sunset is extremely beautiful, and it is also the view that Sima Fang never tires of watching. He leaned against the railing, holding a cup of hot tea, and looked out at the Luoshui style of the building.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came, disrupting Sima Fang's thoughts.

He felt a little unhappy, and turned his head to look, but it was Sima Xun, the fifth son, who came up the stairs.

Sima Xun, fifteen years old, has a name called Xianda.

After he climbed the tower, he first bowed to Sima Fang and then whispered: "Father, there is an old friend outside who claims to be Yingchuan who comes to ask for a meeting."

"not see!"

Sima Fang was unhappy and his tone was not very polite.

What old friends in Yingchuan... I am in Yingchuan, so where are there any old friends?

Sima Xun hurriedly said, "Father, that man said that my father would definitely say that, so he gave me a book and said he would return it to his father."

Book?

Sima Fang was stunned and stood up.

"What book?"
Chapter completed!
