Chapter 347 Defeating Zhang Liao and Seizing Xuzhou
Although Zhang Xiu is vulgar, he is also a person who knows how to advance and retreat.When he went to meet Zhang Yi, his posture was very low, "The sinful minister pays his respects to His Majesty!"
"Brother Huang, why did you say this!" Zhang Yi also gave Zhang Xiu a lot of face. He didn't mention the things he had opposed to him before, and directly pulled him and said, "If it weren't for Brother Huang, I would not be able to take Pengcheng at all, Brother Huang Great credit to you!"
Zhang Xiu was a little embarrassed by what Zhang Yi said, so she casually recruited her son Zhang Quan and asked him to meet Zhang Yi.
"Meet Your Majesty!"
"This is Quan'er? Has he grown so big? He's really a good-looking talent. After returning to Shouchun, let Quan'er go to a university for further studies." Zhang Yi pulled Zhang Quan and said, although Zhang Quan was only younger than Zhang Yi He is about ten years old, but he is a junior after all, so he should take care of him as an elder.
After appeasing Zhang Xiu, Zhang Yi entered Pengcheng.Tang He took over the city defense of Pengcheng, and after Zhang Yi entered Pengcheng, he awarded Zhang Xiu among them: "Because Zhang Xiu abandoned the dark and turned to the bright, and made great achievements in capturing Pengcheng, he was conferred on General An Dong and granted the title of County Marquis."
Zhang Yi not only looked at Zhang Xiu as his own clansman, but also used Zhang Xiu as an example to send a signal to the people in the Cao Wei camp that as long as you surrender, you will get high officials and rich salary.
Zhang Yi's move quickly showed its effect.Zhang Yi sat in Pengcheng by himself and asked Tang Heshuai to pursue Zhang Liao with his headquarters.Tang He attacked Pei County from Liuxian County to Guangqi County.
Zhang Liao lost more than 1 soldiers in Pengcheng, and Pei County had less than 3 soldiers.Tanghe, who faced more than 3 people, was even more at a disadvantage.
Zhang Yi asked Zhang Xiu and Wang Meng to take Zhang Xiu and the gathered Cao soldiers to surrender and return to Langya to stop Zang Ba.
He sent Zhu Ran to lead 1 people to support Wang Jian and attack Xiang County.
There are not many defenders in Xiangxian County, but because Wang Jian's siege ability is not very strong, he failed to defeat it after several days.After Zhu Ran arrived, he immediately commanded the army to attack the city. Under the full attack of the whole army, Xiang County was captured in less than two hours.After taking Xiang County, Wang Jian garrisoned, Zhu Ran attacked Linsui, Taiqiu, Jianping, Feng County, Dan County, and Qiao County to the west, and then stationed in Qiao County to contain Chen Guo and Liang Guo.
Zhang Liao, who retreated to Pei County, held on for more than ten days in Pei County.Tang He sent troops to attack all the time, and the well fences and rushing cars continued to cause damage to the city.
For more than ten days, Zhang Liao only slept for an hour or two every day, and went to the top of the city whenever there was any movement.Repelled dozens of attacks from outside the city, and even saw Shan Xiongxin slash, almost preventing him from falling off the city wall.
But even so, Zhang Liao couldn't hold on in the end.In the end, because of exhaustion, he couldn't hold on anymore and was attacked by Tang He on the city wall.
Zhang Liao had no choice but to flee again, this time retreating to Rencheng.After arriving in Rencheng, Zhang Liao finally ushered in reinforcements, and Le Jin had already rushed over from Yecheng with [-] troops.
Cao Pi also knew that Zhang Liao was under a lot of pressure, so he sent Le Jin over to him.Cao Pi sent a total of four troops. In addition to Le Jin, one led 2 troops to be stationed in Shangdang; Thousands of cavalry rushed to Xuchang.
Zhang Xiu and Wang Meng arrived at Kaiyang from Wuyuan, Tanxian, and Jiqiu and stationed there.Because Zhang Xiu's military discipline was not as good as that of Zhang Yi's soldiers, Zhang Yi did not ask them to take down all the county towns of Langya County, but stationed in Kaiyang to prevent Zang Ba's raids.
Of course, Zang Ba didn't have much chance to attack Langya, because Gan Ning and others' navy had already gone north to attack on the coast of Qingzhou.However, they were all harassing attacks, mainly to hold back Zang Ba.
Zhang Yi saw that Xuzhou had been taken, and immediately appointed officials to various places in Xuzhou.Zheng Hun was appointed governor of Xuzhou, Xiapi State and Pengcheng State were abolished, and Xiapi County and Pengcheng County were replaced.Lü Yi was the prefect of Xiapi County, Du Qi was the prefect of Pengcheng County, Meng Guang was the prefect of Donghai County, and Zhou Qun was the prefect of Langya County.
Zhang Yi sent Xia Luqi to lead [-] soldiers and horses from Xiapi to Donghai County to collect the counties of Donghai County.Attack Houqiu, Qu County, Ganyu, Zhuqi, and Licheng, and go to Tan County to attack Xiangben, Lanling, Chengxian, Yinping, Changli, and Hexiang.Then go south to Qixian County, enter Pengcheng County, collect Fuyang and Wuyuan, and then return to Pengcheng.
After Xia Luqi returned to Pengcheng, the officials appointed by Zhang Yi had basically arrived in Pengcheng.The officials appointed by Zhang Yi were not randomly arranged by himself, but were assessed based on their previous merits, including character and ability.
Originally, Zhang Yi did not have high expectations for Langya County.However, Wang Meng was obviously not satisfied with the merits of persuading Zhang Xiu to surrender, so he encouraged Zhang Xiu to divide his troops and sent Hu Che'er to attack the state of Zeng, leaving Zhang Quan in Kaiyang. Zhang Xiu led troops to attack Linyi, Yangdu, Dong'an, and Dongguan. , and was stationed in Dongguan.Wang Meng led his troops north to Ju County, Zhu County, Dongwu, Pingchang, and Gumu.
Wang Meng was stationed in Gumu, and his troops pointed directly at Beihai.Zang Ba was stationed in Beihai State, and he was already very busy at this time. He had to guard against sea attacks and pay attention to Wang Meng, and he was exhausted.However, Wang Meng did not directly attack the Beihai country because the food supply was not available.
Because Xuzhou was harassed by Zhang Yi all the year round, Cao Cao basically gave up many counties and moved almost all the people away.Those who didn't move away basically went to Zhang Yi.Much of the land in Xuzhou has been abandoned for many years.As a result, Zhang Yi was temporarily unable to obtain a large amount of grain in Xuzhou, and could only transport grain from Guangling and Shouchun.
However, the food in Guangling and Shouchun needs to be supplied to Zhang Yi and Tanghe first.
Fortunately, Langya County has developed fairly well in recent years, and it can give Zhang Xiu and Wang Meng a period of time.Taking advantage of this time, Wang Meng got in touch with Gan Ning and asked them to deliver some grain from Langya County.Gan Ning's navy really sent them food, and it was quite a lot, a full 50 hu.
With these grains, Wang Meng was much more comfortable.
Although Zang Ba is also a famous general in the area, he has been young for many years, but he is still a lot worse than Wang Meng.After Wang Meng got the food, he began to plan to attack Qingzhou. He discussed with Gan Ning, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and others. He didn't have an army, but the navy did!The navy has thousands of people in one fleet, and the three fleets have a total of 3 to [-] people. These people can completely capture Qingzhou.
However, Wang Meng still asked Zhang Yi for some soldiers, because he still needed infantry to garrison various places.
Zhang Yi heard Wang Meng's thoughts, so he asked Xia Luqi to bring [-] soldiers to reinforce the past. With the navy supplying food and grass, why not take Qingzhou easily?
