Chapter 2692 Yu Hualong asked Yuan Jiuling to support Cao Wei


    Chapter 2689: Yu Hualong invites Yuan Jiuling, and all forces support Cao Wei


    Bai Qi fought extremely easily during the battle of crossing the river to break Baima Du, and Le Yi was completely played with by Bai Qi in applause.


    Bai Qi first deliberately hid 50,000 troops to mislead Le Yi, making him think that the Qin army would divide his troops to cross the river, and the target was not the only Baima Ferry, so he forced Le Yi to divide his troops to garrison Yanjin Ferry.


    Le Yi was indeed deceived. Even though he knew that there might be a fraud, he did not dare to gamble. He had to divide his troops into 30,000 troops to defend Yanjin.


    In fact, when the war reached this point, Le Yi was destined to be unable to defend the White Horse Pass, but Bai Qi had a bigger strategic goal, so he was not in a hurry to reveal his trump card.


    Bai Qi first ordered Hao Zhao to lead 5,000 infantry and cavalry, pretending to be an army of 50,000, and camp on the north bank of Yanjin Ferry, pretending to be trying to cross the river and attack, so as to mislead the Wei army, while he himself launched a battle against Baima Ferry.


    In more than half a month, Bai Qi launched five river crossing battles, and an attack on Baimadu was launched on average in three or four days. Each time the two sides fought extremely fiercely, but every time Le Yi also defended the water camp.


    After Le Yi defeated the Qin army one after another, he was full of confidence in defending the Baima Du. It can be seen that for more than half a month, the Qin army had not launched an offensive against Yanjin Du. He immediately realized that something was wrong, so he sent Yin Shouzhe to find out the truth of the Qin army.


    After learning about it, Yin Shou was also very concerned. He took advantage of the night to swim across the Yellow River to explore, and found that the Qin army in the Qin camp on the north bank was just a suspicious soldier, with no 50,000 troops at all.


    After Yin Shou returned, Fei Ge first informed Le Yi, and then summoned the troops and prepared to cross the river to swallow the Qin army first, but before he could take action, Le Yi stopped him.


    The reason why Le Yi stopped Yin Shou was because whether or not hesitated the Qin army had no effect on the overall battle. On the contrary, if Yin Shou led his army across the river, he would probably be besieged by the Qin army if he did not have time to return.


    Le Yi''s decision was correct. Although Hao Zhao didn''t have many soldiers, he arranged a large number of spies on the north bank of the Yellow River. These spies naturally could not discover Yin Shou, but it was impossible for them to discover the Wei army.


    Once Yin Shou crosses the river, Hao Zhao will immediately retreat north, attract Yin Shou to the north, lure the enemy into the depths, and then encircle and annihilate Yin Shou''s troops. Therefore, Le Yi''s call to stop Yin Shou was equivalent to saving his life.


    At this time, Le Yi had discovered Bai Qi''s intention. Yanjin was just a cover. The direction of the Qin army''s main attack was always the Baima Ferry. He immediately prepared to drop Yin Shou''s army to come to Baima Ferry, but it was obviously too late.


    It just so happened that Bai Qi also received the news that the Qin army on the southern front had broken through the three major defense lines of Yingchuan and was about to march into Xuchang, so he closed the net and stopped pretending.


    The 50,000 army hid in the east wind Ye Valley of Liyang City and had been hiding without launching, directly marched into Baima Ferry, met with Bai Qi, and snatched the fierce attack on Baima Ferry under Bai Qi''s personal command before Yin Shou''s reinforcements arrived.


    Le Yi personally commanded the battle, but due to the five crossings of the river, the layout of the Wei army''s water camp had been understood by Bai Qi. In addition, the attack of the 100,000 Qin troops at the same time was too fierce, and even Le Yi could not handle it.


    After half a day of fighting between Qin and Wei, Le Yi realized that Baima Du could not hold on, so he took the initiative to give up Baima Du and led a 30,000 army to retreat into Baima City, continued to defend, and left 3,000 dead soldiers to cut off the rear.


    After more than half a month of entanglement between Bai Qi and Le Yi, he finally captured Baima Du. He could actually cross the Yellow River earlier and faster, but in order to wait for the cooperation of the southern line, he deliberately spent so long with Le Yi in Baima Du.


    Now that the White Horse Ferry has been broken, the Qin army in Hebei has invaded the Central Plains, and Bai Qi''s plan to destroy Cao Wei in a battle can naturally continue to take the second step.


    After receiving the order from Le Yi, Yin immediately gave up Yanjin and prepared to support Baimadu. As a result, before he arrived, he received news on the way that Baimadu had fallen and Bai Qi led his army to the Central Plains.


    Baima Du has been lost, and there are more than 100,000 Qin troops crossing the river and entering the East County, while Yin Shou has only 30,000 troops in his hand. If he meets the Qin army on the plain, it will definitely be the ending of death without life.


    Therefore, Yin Shou retreated into Yan County overnight to guard the Sour Zao City in the rear.


    At this time, Chenliu County, and the Sozao City, the alliance place where thirty-six princes fought against Dong has now become the command post for the Wei army to resist the invasion of the Qin army in the middle.


    Since the Qin Dynasty went out of Hulao Pass in the east and attacked the three defense lines arranged by Cao Wei west of Chenliu, the city of Suzao City replaced the capital of Chenliu City and became the command center of the anti-Qin line in Cao Wei.


    The reason is also very simple. After the strongest city of Solanzao City, it has strong defense and blocked the only way for the Qin army to go east. Its geographical location is more important and superior, and it is more suitable as a command post than Chenliu City.


    The sauna is now the command center of Cao Wei in the middle line. The King of Wei Cao Cao and the grain depot of Chenliu of Cao Wei are all here. Once they are captured by the Qin army, the consequences will be unimaginable. The last line of defense in the northern part of the sauna is Yan County.


    This is also the main reason why Le Yi still chose to divide his troops and let Yin Shou defend Yanjin even though he was not 100% sure whether Bai Qi''s second landing point was Yanjin.


    Compared with Baima Duke, Yanjin Duke is equally important, and Yan County is the last line of defense in the northern part of Zizao.


    What Le Yi and Yin Shou did not expect was that after Bai Qi captured Baimadu, he neither took advantage of the victory to pursue Baima City, nor went south to attack Yan County, threatening Cao Wei''s central line, but instead led his troops to the east to capture Dunqiu, Weiguo, Dong''a and other places east of Dongjun.


    Wherever Bai Qi''s army passed, no city could hold on for more than a day. Even half of the county magistrates and generals were afraid of Bai Qi''s reputation and went straight down to open the city and surrender.


    There are fifteen counties in Dongjun. Bai Qi occupied most of the eastern part of Dongjun without paying much casualties. He stopped until he attacked the city of Puyang and encountered extremely tenacious resistance.


    At this point, the Qin army, both the north and south armies, won a great victory, and only the central army had not yet gained a significant advantage.


    Cao Wei always thought that the commander of the Qin army in the middle was Ying Hao, and the offensive where Ying Hao was must be the most fierce, so he was always extremely vigilant in the attack of the Qin army in the middle.


    Under Cao Wei''s strict defense, although Zhang Liao''s strategy for the central defense line of Cao Wei has been steadily advancing, its progress is not as fast as the north and south lines.


    Zhang Liao''s troops have always been Chenliu. Although they have captured the four cities of Juanxian, Yuanyong, Putian and Peilin, which are the second line of defense on the western front of the Wei army, and have also captured the ten cities of Cao Wei. However, they have not even touched Chenliu''s edge and were blocked by Cao Cao.


    Zhang Liao only needs to conquer the two cities of Zuohou and Xinzheng to completely flatten Cao Wei''s second line of defense and then flatten the third line of defense composed of six cities such as Yangwu, Guandu, and Kaifeng. Then the defense line in the central part of Cao Wei will be completely torn apart by Zhang Liao.


    But with the news that Ying Hao appeared on the southern line and that both the north and south lines had failed, Cao Cao must have also changed the strategy against Qin in the middle line.


    After all, Cao Cao thought Ying Hao was in the middle line, and where Ying Hao was, he must be the main attack direction of the Qin army, so he fought so conservatively in the middle line. But Ying Hao gave Cao Cao a Li Dai Taozao, and asked Zhang Liao to pretend to be his own strategy for the middle line, but he ran to sneak attack the southern line.


    This also shows that the center line is not the main attack direction of the Qin army, so Cao Cao naturally wants to change his combat strategy, and it is impossible for him to continue to be beaten so passively.


    At this time, there were continuous bad news in the Sour Zao City, and Cao Cao was even numb.


    After the news of Cao Yin''s death in battle came back, Cao Cao cried bitterly for this. After all, Cao Yin was his uncle and treated him better than his own father. Cao Cao would naturally feel sad if he died in battle for himself with such snow.


    But when news of Cao De, Cao Shuang, Xiahou Feng and other clan members died in battle were sent back one after another, Cao Cao could not even cry, because if this continues, he would most likely be the next one to die.


    The two armies fought and were enemies, and it was not surprising that they killed each other, but to treat royal relatives like the Cao family and the Xiahou family,


    Regardless of whether Cao Cao and Ying Wen were sworn brothers, Cao Wei married four concubines and entered the Qin Palace. The Ying family and the Xiahou family of the Cao family were originally relatives, and the people of the Cao family and the Xiahou family were naturally royal relatives.


    Cao Cao thought that Ying Hao, who had always been known for being polite, would take into account his past friendship and let his generals show mercy when facing Cao Wei''s relatives, but he did not expect that the Qin army would not only not stay behind but also take action.


    For example: Cao Yin, Cao De, and Cao Shuang are not strong enough. With the courage of the Qin general, they can be captured alive, but they are still killed, and only Cao Wenzhao was captured.


    Cao Cao thought that Ying Hao was intentional and wanted to use this to force himself to surrender, which in turn increased his dissatisfaction with Ying Hao. After all, he was a person who was strong by nature and was a person who was weak but not hard.


    But no matter how dissatisfied Cao Cao was, he could not reverse the decline of the two major defense lines in the north and south.


    When he learned that Ying Hao was in Yingchuan, Cao Cao had already begun to formulate a counterattack plan for the middle line, but news of Baimadu''s loss came, which immediately shattered Cao Cao''s confidence in defending the western front.


    The defense lines in the north and south have been broken. Once Xuchang and Yan County cannot defend, even the sour zao will be immediately surrounded by the Qin army, which also made Cao Cao have the idea of ??giving up Chenliu and concentrating his troops to retreat to Jiyin, Shanyang, Taishan and other counties in eastern Yanzhou.


    But as soon as this idea came out, Cao Cao discussed with his civil and military officials. As a result, many relatives and generals agreed, but military commander Fan Li expressed his opposition.


    "Lord, Chen Liu must not give up. 70% of the money, grain and materials of our army are concentrated in the three western counties, half of which are stored in Chen Liu. These materials cannot be transported away in the short term.


    If Chenliu is given up, he will not be able to support the current army with the money, food and materials of the eastern counties alone, and will only perish. "Fan Li said with a serious face.


    "That''s right, giving up the three armies in the west and retreating to the east can extend the front line of the Qin army, but this is just a drinking poison to quench thirst. It''s better to fight with the Qin army to the end in Chenliu. It''s better to win, and there''s no regrets if you lose. Haven''t your lord made up your mind long ago?"


    Xun You also objected.


    Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this. He had indeed decided before that it would be best to defeat the Qin army. If he couldn''t win, he would just surrender to Qin to follow the trend to protect his family''s wealth. However, the tragic death of the blood relatives made him change his mind.


    Now Cao Cao’s hatred is greater than reason. He will not give up without taking the last step.


    Seeing Cao Cao remained silent, Fan Li said again: "The main attack, although the situation is bad now, it is not as good as abandoning the west and defending the east.


    Xuchang is the most powerful city in Wei State. It has high walls and thick walls, and it has sufficient food and grass. General Cao Bin still has 40,000 defenders in his hands, and the Qin army will not be able to conquer it in the short term.


    In addition, both the north and south sides of our country, Wei and Ming countries are in a hurry. After learning about it, they are probably even more anxious than us.


    If what Ruoli expected was not bad, the reinforcements from the Song and Ming countries were already on the way. ”


    Hearing this, Cao Cao''s eyes regained some glory, but he still sighed dejectedly: "What''s the use of coming to the army alone? Although our Wei Dynasty lacks troops now, what is even more lacking is the general, the powerful generals who can fight against Li Cunxiao, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others."


    "When it comes to the powerful general, Li has two good news to tell his lord that General Yu Hualong has disappeared since the defeat in Jiaxian County. It was not because he was hit and became a deserter, but because he went to find his son''s master, Yuan Jiuling, the head of the Heavenly Demon Sect.


    Yuan Jiuling learned that all five disciples died at the hands of the Qin army, so he decided to go down the mountain with General Yu Hualong to avenge his beloved disciple.


    In addition, under the lobbying of the Song State''s national teacher Shen Gongbao, the head of the inner demon sect, Chongjiu (Nine-headed Insect), and a group of demon sect masters, all decided to stand on the side of our Great Wei and come out to help our Great Wei fight against the Qin and Qin army. ”


    As soon as Fan Li said this, Cao Cao''s eyes lit up immediately and he said in surprise: "Really?"


    “It’s true.”


    “This is great.”


    Cao Cao was not surprised. After all, Yuan Jiuling, the head of the Heavenly Demon Sect, is a master of the great master. Even if he is not as good as Li Cunxiao, he is better than Lu Bu and Zhao Yun and other Qin generals.


    Chung Jiu, the head of the Heart Demon Sect, is also a master at the level of a half-step master, and his strength is stronger than many masters.


    As for other Demon Sect masters who dare to oppose Daqin, their realm may not be lower than that of the Grandmaster.


    With these powerful demon sects helping Cao Wei to fight against the Qin generals, the pressure Cao Wei faced would indeed be much lighter, but it is obviously impossible to win by relying on this.


    "Report to the lord, the king of Song Zhao Kuangyin has sent Zhao She as the main general, and led generals such as Jiuton Tongzi, Gao Siji, Lu Xiong, and Yang Zhen to lead an army of 30,000 to assist Xuchang."


    "Report to the lord, the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, has sent Lan Yu as the main general, and led generals such as Niu Mowang, Niu Ruyi, Niu Hong, and Fu Youde to lead an army of 40,000 to assist Dongjun."
