Chapter 269: Rush

Cao Cao sent troops this time, not just Yangpingguan and Shangyong. From Guanzhong to Hanzhong, there are at least two more suitable for the army to walk. Cao Ren and Cao Hong are all partial divisions. On the main side, Cao Cao is divided into three groups. Xia Houdun, Xu Huang, and Zhang Dian led a team of three horses to go forward, but the defense here, Liu Yi had already made sufficient preparations as early as possible, occupying the advantage of geographical convenience, the battle between the two sides continued for several months but still Failed to capture several Guancheng.
The main battlefield is still on the side of Yangpingguan, and Huang Zhong and Wei Yan are now stationed separately.
On the first month of the 19th year of Jian'an, Liu Yi arrived in Yangpingguan, but did not bring much change to the war situation. As a defender, while occupying the geographical advantage, under the constraints of Cao Cao's army, he wanted to play tricks. It is not easy.
"Where is Ma Chao now?" In front of the huge sand table, Liu Yi looked at the mountains and rivers above the sand table and frowned at Wei Yandao beside him.
After he left, Huang Zhong specially sent someone to send the sand table to Yangpingguan. Later, Cao Jun divided his troops to attack. Huang Zhong left Yangpingguan, but the sandbox was not taken away.
"Since the last year's defeat, there has been no news of that Ma Chao. I heard that it was an escape into Qiang!" Wei Yan shook his head.
Wei Yan can understand Liu Yi ’s thoughts. If the horse is beyond the rear of the soldiers Cao Cao at this time, let ’s not help them deal with Cao Cao. As long as the horse makes a comeback, it will harm Xiliang. It is best to capture several counties. Embarrassed.
Wei Yan also had this idea. He originally sent a letter to Ma Chao to advise him that he hoped to join forces with Ma Chao. However, Ma Chao is now missing. Cao Jun ’s army is under pressure and it is difficult to defend the city. All the main roads have also been blocked by Cao Jun. Now he wants to It is not easy to contact the outside world again.
"Think of a way, this Hanzhong is also in Qiangdi. I don't know if the officials in Hanzhong are in contact with the Qiang people. If they can get in touch with the Machao, they might be forced to retreat to Cao Cao." Liu Yi frowned.
Cao Cao is coming aggressively, it is impossible to win as much as the battle of Chibi. What he can do now is to hope that Cao Cao can be forced back. Liu Bei has hit Luocheng and Luocheng has broken. However, big cities like Chengdu and Chengdu are not easy to fight, just like Jiangling. If Liu Beijun had the new weapons provided by Liu Yi at that time, coupled with the lack of Cao Jun ’s defense, and the new warship was caught flat-footed, according to history That Zhou Ling attacked Jiangling and did not attack it for a year.
The soldiers and soldiers were sufficient, and Liu Beiguang was attacked in history, and he attacked for more than a year. In the end, he failed to fight. Liu Zhang surrendered voluntarily, but now Cao Jun ’s army is under pressure, and the situation has been in history. Liu Zhang may not surrender at this time. As long as he is unwilling to open the city gate, Liu Bei will not be easy to break the city. If Liu Bei cannot successfully take down the land of Shu, Cao Cao will not retire, and if Cao Cao does not retreat, Liu Zhang there There is still the courage to keep it.
But now Cao Cao did not attack Jiangdong at this time as in history but instead led the army to come here, but Jingzhou ’s soldiers and horses could not be moved at this time, Sun Quan ’s attitude was a bit ambiguous. At this time, if the two joined forces, Jiangdong took the opportunity After sending troops to Jianghuai, Guan Yu attacked Xiangfan, and Cao Cao could be retired.
But as Cui Zhouping analyzed with Liu Yi, Sun Quan was obviously reluctant to see Liu Bei's Yizhou at this time. Although Jingzhou's soldiers and horses were free from the threat of Cao Cao, they had to guard against the threat from Jiangdong.
Although Liu Yi and Pang Tong persuaded, Liu Bei gained a lot of advantages in the early stage, and also won the fat land in Hanzhong, and the number of soldiers and horses was more than in history, but this situation is now more than Liu Bei's attack on Yizhou in history. The situation is much more difficult, but if it can be beaten, the gains are definitely higher than in history. At least Liu Bei ’s foundation is more stable than in history or in the Romance, and Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, etc. are not transferred. In Shuzhong, Jingzhou is undoubtedly safer. If Yizhou is defeated, Liu Bei ’s forces will usher in a leap, and the pattern of the three countries has been completely settled since then.
But the premise of all this is to hold Hanzhong, and Liu Bei can successfully win Yizhou as the premise, it is not difficult to hold Hanzhong now, and even Liu Yi can feel at ease to engage in development, but Liu Bei's side now seems to be In a bitter fight.
I do n’t know if there is anything wrong with Pang Tong ’s goods?
Wei Yanke did n’t know Liu Yi ’s kung fu for a while, so many thoughts had turned in his heart. After hearing Liu Yi say this, he nodded silently:
The last one will try, but I have captured some Ma Chao ’s soldiers before. Put it back and see what Ma Chao means. If he is willing to send troops, it would be better. "
Liu Yi nodded, but there were still some worries in his heart. This question, both he and Wei Yan could think of it, would Cao Cao never think of it?
But now I ca n’t take care of so much. It ’s always good to be able to have one more helper. At this time, in order to fight against Cao Jun, it is natural to unite all the forces that can be united, and now what can be united, it seems that only Ma Chao is left around. .
Liu Yi didn't have much responsibility for guarding things. Wei Yan was more than he was doing. Just looking at Cao Jun's situation, Liu Yi thought about it and took a group of craftsmen to the top of the mountain, preparing to expand the camp on the mountain.
Since the last time Pound led his troops up the mountain to seize the camp, Wei Yan's emphasis on the two hills has increased a lot. With sufficient troops, the troops in the two hills are full.
Cao Jun came here, and naturally found the magical use of the two hills. Xia Hou Dun once wanted to take down the camp of the hill for his own use. However, facing the strong camp on the hill, Cao Jun failed to attack the mountain several times. Got this thought.
Liu Yi is thinking now, can he use the advantages of the mountain to build a few stone platforms on the mountain and throw stones directly into the Cao Jun camp without special grinding into stone bombs, and only need a lot of gravel, even if Not causing too many casualties can also make Cao Jun restless.
Of course, this is just Liu Yi ’s idea. From the top of the mountain, he can attack Yangpingguan, but he ca n’t attack Cao Jun ’s big camp, even small stones. He wants to put Cao Jun ’s big camp into the scope of the stone throwing platform. Liu Yi It is necessary to set up a stone throwing platform in the direction close to Cao Ying, but in this way, the risk factor has increased a lot.
Liu Yi also relied on the Shu army to be good at mountain warfare, so he dared to have this idea. He pushed the big camp down the mountain to the vicinity of Cao Ying, and then began to dig soil to build a platform where Cao Jun could not reach.
Xia Houdun also worried that the Shu army on the mountain would sneak around by the cover of the mountain forest, so the trees around the barracks were all empty. If the Shu army appeared within sight, they would immediately find out.
"It's almost the same, and you'll be found again!" Liu Yi looked at the distance between the two sides and shook her head with regret. "Xiahou Dun is quite cautious! Withdraw!"
The generals responsible for protecting Liu Yi were relieved. This distance was too close to Cao Ying.
Liu Yi returned to Yangpingguan along the elevator, and Wei Yan hurried forward to ask the situation: "Sir, how?"
"No, the nearest place is three hundred steps away from Cao Jun Daying. Although our throwing car has a long range, this distance is too far to reach." Liu Yi sighed, and the two sides are now at a standstill In the case of siege, Xia Houdun has already learned that the equipment of Yangping Gate City is very strong, so he rarely takes the initiative to attack, but Wei Yan does not dare to attack hurriedly. In the field, the Shu Army is obviously not the opponent of Cao Jun.
In this situation, both sides know each other's weaknesses and strengths, and understand their own strengths and weaknesses. They dare not move lightly, and can't deceive each other. They can only stare in this way.
The war has now reached a deadlock. Although there are still offensive and defensive battles every day, the losses of both sides are not too great.
At this time, Liu Yi could have run out of functions. In terms of logistics, Yan Pu did a very good job. Liu Yi went to Huang Zhong again, and the situation was basically the same. Liu Yi just helped to strengthen the city defense. After some fortification equipment, he reluctantly returned to the Meridian Valley. The battle is now a stage of endurance. To see who can last until the end, or Liu Bei will give up attacking Yizhou, or Cao Cao will give up attacking Hanzhong. Don't look at Cao Cao's great momentum, but the consumption of grain and grass is also a huge burden.
On the other hand, Hanzhong is a local operation, and the consumption of grain and grass is relatively small, but Liu Bei also has to provide logistics. Now Liu Bei has occupied many cities in Shuzhong and can also provide part of his rear.
This stalemate continued until April, when the road of Ziwu Valley was basically completed. Liu Yi was building the final checkpoint, but the news from Shuzhong made Liu Yi have to stop his work.
"What are you talking about?" Looking at the messenger in front of him, Liu Yi narrowed his eyes.
"The military division suffered the loss of faith in the battle of Luocheng, and was seriously injured. The hero invited the husband to join the hero immediately, and the general guard of Hanzhong was temporarily served by General Wei Yan." The messenger who came to the order bowed down to EbookFREE.me ~ How is Shiyuan injured? "Liu looked at the messenger and asked.
Did Pang Tong's unlucky egg finally fail the escape?
"Because there are a lot of armor on the military division, the army is not fatal. The medical doctors have helped him with diagnosis and treatment. There is no risk of life, but he needs to be rehabilitated." The messenger bowed: "Please also ask Mr. to leave as soon as possible."
Liu Yi frowned. What can he do for himself? But at this time, Zhuge Liang could not be transferred back. The situation in Jingzhou, without Zhuge Liang sitting in the town, might cause trouble.
"Can the protagonist have other orders?" Liu Yi asked as he ordered people to pack.
"The protagonist ordered people to go to Jingzhou. As for the specific orders, they did not know their humble office." The messenger shook his head.
"Go!" Liu Yi heard that he didn't dare to delay. He had to know what order Liu Bei made. If it was Zhuge Liang, Liu Yi must dissuade him. At this time, Jingzhou could not do without Zhuge Liang.
