Zhao Tong led five thousand troops to the city of Wuguan, and saw that the city of Wuguan was crowded with people, shouting and killing were endless!

"Go and inquire quickly!" Zhao Tong hurriedly sent dozens of scouts to inquire about the news. Judging from the situation, it was obvious that it was a fierce battle in Wuguan City, which army was fighting with?

The scouts assigned to the place climbed up trees or watched nearby high grounds, and watched for a long time before they ran back to report. The Wei army was everywhere on the top of Wuguan City, and it seemed that there was a group of people siegeing the city on the other side of Wuguan.

"Oh? Could it be that it is from Wu..." Zhao Tong pondered for a moment, not knowing whether he would continue to conquer Wu Pass.

According to the alliance between Shu and Wu, the Wu Pass did not state that it belonged to either party. But since both sides divided the Sizhou equally with Hangu Pass, then the Wu Pass, which is roughly the same location as Hangu Pass, would be who would get the one who would get it. At present, although you can take advantage of the situation to break through the pass, it is difficult to argue with the people of Wu.

"Retreat twenty miles, leaving spies to monitor the movements day and night." Zhao Tong sneered a few times, and quietly retreated with the Shu army, preparing to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.

On the other side of Wu Pass, the Wu army was indeed attacking the city. After pacifying various places south of Xuchang, the Wu people also set their sights on this important gate that would confront the Shu army in the future. So they divided six or seven thousand people to attack Wu Pass. The defenders in Wu Pass originally had only more than a thousand, but with the Wu army's plunder, many of the remaining soldiers fled into Guanzhong, and their troops became thicker. The Wu army attacked day and night but could not capture them.

The outcome of the side troops on this road was irrelevant. The main force of the Wu people had already advanced into Xuchang at this time. Shi Ji, Liu Ping, commanded the 110,000 Wu troops, and led the siege weapon along the way toward Xuchang in a mighty manner.

Xuchang side has not been waiting for Sima Zhao to return to the rescue. Sima Gan, who was responsible for blocking the Wu army, was not the opponent of the Wu people? Fortunately, the two knew their own destiny and did not dare to fight with the Wu army for the purpose of delaying and blocking to avoid Chen Qian's fate. Before sending troops, there were 80,000 or 90,000 Wei troops, but the Wei troops retreated to Xuchang were still more than 70,000, which is a contribution.

Everyone in Xuchang City was panicked and worried. Even the great scholar Su Lao in the court also looked worried and sighed. At this time, Sima Yan, who was the Sima family, left behind the capital, put on a note, not a letter of departure, but a letter of approval. The content of the letter of approval was very simple. There were a total of twenty-three people on the letter of recommendation that Emperor Cao Huan of Wei asks to give rewards as stated in the form.

These twenty-three people are either members of the Sima clan, or the loyal Sima clan, and are all officials that the Sima clan can trust. Cao Huan looked at it, took out the jade seal and stamped the seal, which was considered as an answer.

This unusual move, including Cao Huan, was understood by Sima's attitude to consolidate internal stability. Only when internal stability could Sima Yan feel at ease to lead his army out of the city to fight against the Wu army. Sima Zhao's reinforcements arrived at a certain time, and I believe that Duke Jin had his own arrangements.

As the imperial capital of Wei, Xuchang's easy encirclement by the Wu army would only increase the panic among the military and civilians in the city, and at the same time it also increased the difficulty for the peripheral troops to return to aid.

Sima Yan had never personally directed the battle, but he had a counselor and general specially selected by his father Sima Zhao to assist him. In addition, Sima Yan himself was also a guy with a good vision. He went out of the city to fight against the Wu army, so it was no surprise that such a decision was not surprising.

The Wu people relied on catapults and military strength. When Chen Qian was just defeated and the counties of Nanyang fell, Xuchang did not have much military strength. Although he had put together eighty or ninety thousand people to defend Nanxiang County, only one-third of the military strength could be fought.

Under such circumstances, Sima Yan would certainly not lead his army to the expedition.

After the delays of Sima Gan and Sima Jing brothers, the appearance of Xuchang City has changed. During this period, various states have continuously sent troops to help, and the city has also made sufficient combat preparations and mobilization. In addition, Sima Yan has entrusted all his trusted ministers to a critical position, and Xuchang's military strength and internal power have been greatly improved.

Everything is arranged, Sima Yan is the Minister of the Secretariat Pei Xiu, the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty Du Yu, the Secretary of the Central Committee Zhang Hua, and the Prince's Secretariat Fu Qi

As a think tank, General Fenwu Shi Bao, General Sili's Captain Shi Jian, General General Wang Jun, Chief Changshui Feng Ju, General Sanqi Changshi Wang Rong, General Luo Shang, Wang Qiao and others were generals, and they raised 140,000 troops out of the city to confront the people of Wu.

The centipede insect died without being stiff. The Wu people also expected that the Wei army in Xuchang would not sit still and wait for death. Seeing the Wei army coming out in full swing, they were not in a hurry to respond and calmly. So the Wu army set up camp more than 70 miles away from Xuchang, preparing to gain a foothold first and then attack at the right time.

...

The war was not unique to the Western Front, and the Wu army on the Eastern Front also made new moves after retreating. Zhu Yi, the general of the Wu army, led 30,000 Wu soldiers to station in Huainan to defend the north bank of the Yangtze River. Lu Kai personally led 10,000 navy troops across the two Huai River waterways, echoing Zhu Yi's defenders and forming a trend of joint defense.

The Wu people made a clear attitude to defend Huainan and waited for the Wei army to attack. Even if you didn't attack, the Wu people would have the ability to go north at any time and would not move with the Wei army.

The remaining more than 30,000 Wu troops, led by Ding Feng, walked to Jiangxia, rushed to Xinye, and went to support the Jingzhou army on the eastern front. The army arrived in Jiangxia County, but there were bad news in front...

Liu Lue, the general of the Eastern Wu who was responsible for attacking Shiyang, was killed by the Wei army at the city of Shiyang. The catapults and food and supplies he carried were burned by the Wu people. The remaining six or seven thousand Wu troops were temporarily commanded by the deputy general and stationed in nearby counties for supplies.

"How many Wei troops are there in Shiyang?" veteran Ding Feng suddenly said in anger.

The young master who reported the news said: "Shiyang has been besieged by my general for a long time, with only three or four thousand people..."

"Liuluo is mediocre! You can siege the city, why do you die??" Ding Feng felt that Liuluo was hateful again. Such a good situation had the worst result.

The young master said with a sad face: "Calling from the West to attack our army camps, my general went to rescue him, but was killed by the Wei cavalry! I also asked the old general to make the decision for my general!"

When Ding Feng heard this, he fell into thinking. Jiang Xia's strategy was arranged by Lu Kai and Lu Kang. Lu Kang cut off the connection between Shi Yang and Jiangxia Zhucheng, and then let Liuluo strong troops press on the border to pull out the nail of Shi Yang. According to the small soldier, the Wei army came from the West, and it was obvious that Lu Kang had made a mistake...

Although it was just a temporary statement, the Lu family was responsible for the defeat in the war after all. The Lu family had no objection to the Lu family, but many people from all ethnic groups in China were dissatisfied with the Lu family. Thinking of this, Ding Feng said: "What is the current situation of Jiangxia's military?"

Seeing that the old general did not take over his words, the young master did not dare to continue asking whether he was the other party's business or not, and he could just say it for his master, so he said, "General Lu Kang has captured all the cities except Shiyang, and now he is stationed outside Shiyang City."

Ding Feng nodded and signaled to take the little man out. He opened a map himself. Lu Kang is worthy of being a famous general of the Lu family. Without Liuluo's nearly 20,000 troops, he could suppress Shiyang and capture other cities with just over 10,000 people in his hand. If Liuluo had such a strategy, he would probably not have to lose his life in Shiyang City and spend his life.

After all, this is not as skilled as human! After careful study of Shi Yang's situation, Ding Feng decided to head to Shi Yang to help Lu resist the force.

The military system of Wu is different from that of Shu and Wei, and adopts a division system. Generals and families have their own fiefs and divisions. These divisions have to work on weekdays, build weapons, cultivate land, and go to the battlefield in wartime. They can be said to be the most laborious "soldiers" among the Three Kingdoms.

Of course, the family is responsible for the supply of the company. It is very difficult to develop its own power by relying solely on the taxes of the people in the fiefdom. Therefore, the company has to participate in production. The family continues to grow, the number of branches is increasing, and the equipment is getting better and better. All this comes from whether one has enough money.

As one of the two giants in the Liu family in Jiangdong, Liuluo brought most of the elite troops this time. After the defeat, the Liu family was still in charge of the remaining soldiers.

I am Liu, you are the Lu family, and everyone will not interfere with the rivers.

Lu Kang's power is equal to that of Liuluo. He did not have the right to recruit the remnants of the Liu family, and even if there was an opponent, he would not agree. Not to mention that Liuluo was because Lu Kang did not block the Wei army and died. Why did the Liu family's army work for you? Therefore, how hard Lu Kang fought in the front, these six or seven thousand remnants were always indifferent.

When we arrived at Ding Feng, everything was different.

The veteran Ding Feng was one of the three governors of the Northern Expedition and had the right to call any army. The remaining troops in the family dared not disobey, so they had to come and meet with Ding Feng obediently, and at the same time complained about their own defeat. Although the defeat was responsible for Lu Kang, the main problem was that he was underestimating the enemy. The reason was that when the enemy was in the face, Ding Feng still focused on appeasement.

Ding Feng's more than 30,000 Wu soldiers, Liu's six or seven thousand remaining soldiers, and more than 5,000 Lu Kang's more than 50,000 Wu soldiers gathered at Shiyang City to capture the Wei army stronghold that cut off the east-west transportation. This was also the last city of Wei in the Yangtze River Basin. Once Shiyang was lost, the entire north bank of the Yangtze River was in the hands of the Wu people. At that time, whether by water or by land, the troops and materials from the east and west sides supported each other, which was enough to increase the combat effectiveness of Wu's country to a higher level.

Shi Yang was hit by a catapult cart, and Huan Yu and Chen Yu commanded the military and civilians to work hard to repair it, which finally restored the city defense. Although there were many Wu soldiers outside the city, there were no catapult carts and could only adopt ordinary methods of siege. The Wei people still had the confidence to hold on.

There were more than 3,000 Wei soldiers in the city, and there were also 1,3,400 cavalrymen, plus 60,000 to 70,000 people. This is all the power of Shiyang City.

Nearly 50,000 Wu soldiers surrounded Shi Yang and were unable to escape. It was impossible to break through. Even if they escaped from Shi Yang, there was no way out.

This is an isolated city, and even more so, the soldiers and civilians in the city have only one belief, guard Shiyang!
