Chapter 552
Looking at Cao Liang's eyes, Huan Fan was a little dissatisfied and said: "Why, don't you believe what I say?"
Cao Liang said: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I'm curious. How did you get involved with the governor Tian?"
"It's a long story. When I took office as the governor of Qingxu, Tian Yu was the governor of Runan and the general of Xiyi. He led the troops of Qingzhou to conquer Liaodong Gongsun Yuan. At that time, Soochow and Gongsun Yuan were mutually exclusive.
colluded and sent an envoy Zhou He to Liaodong. On his way back, he was attacked and killed by Tian Yu. Cheng Xi, who was the governor of Qingzhou at the time, was at odds with Tian Yu. He impeached Tian Yu for embezzling treasures and lining his own pockets. Emperor Ming was furious and wanted to punish him.
So I wrote a letter to clarify the facts and give Tian Yu justice, so that he was exempted from the crime. After this incident, Tian Yu came to express his gratitude in person, which can be regarded as a friendship."
Cao Liang suddenly said: "I see, I never expected that Mr. Sir also has a righteous side."
"When the road is rough, I will help you with my sword. Why does this sound so awkward? What does it mean to have a righteous side? Could it be that I have always been wretched and dirty?" Huan Fan questioned dissatisfiedly.
Cao Liang laughed and said, "How can you do that? Sir, he is magnanimous and outspoken. He should be a role model for the world." Deep down in his heart, he had long thought to himself, mmp, don't you have a point in your heart? You have done such dirty things.
Aren't you young? Xuzhou quarreled with his subordinates and Jizhou quarreled with his boss. When my wife told you the truth, he got angry and beat his wife in the belly, causing his wife to miscarry and die. So, when Cao Liang heard that he still had friends,
They were all inexplicably surprised, it was really rare.
Huan Fan said: "Let's get down to business. I will go to Jinyang immediately and leave the affairs here to the general."
It's a joke, but when doing business, there is no room for sloppiness. When Cao Liang heard that Huan Fan was preparing to leave for Jinyang, he couldn't help but worry and said: "There are many dangers when going to Jinyang, sir, please be careful."
Indeed, all the way from Dalingqi County to Jinyang was under the influence of the Huns. Huan Fan went there alone, which made Cao Liang very worried about his safety.
Huan Fan had already planned his itinerary, and naturally he would not dare to walk on the main road. However, there is a side mountain road to Jinyang, which is relatively secluded. Because the road is circuitous and bumpy, he is not afraid of encountering the Huns. However, Huan Fan said with a smile:
"Since General Cao is worried about me, why not lend me the square cloth?"
Cao Liang agreed without hesitation. Huan Fan was his right-hand man and there was no room for error. It would be perfect if Fang Bu, the most capable bodyguard, could accompany him there.
In the past, Fang Bu never left Cao Liang's side, but as Cao Liang's authority grew, Fang Bu no longer dared to disobey him.
After arranging for Huan Fan to leave, Cao Liang felt a little relieved. Originally, Cao Liang was not sure that he could win the decisive battle with the Huns, but if Huan Fan could really convince Tian Yu to send troops, he would undoubtedly win.
It gave Cao Liang a lot of help and gave him great confidence to fight this battle well.
The selection of the battlefield is an extremely critical factor. After careful consideration, Cao Liang decided to meet the enemy at Dongguan in Qixian County.
Dongguan is to the north of Qixian County and adjacent to Yuci Gangyang. It is the only way to Jinyang. If Liu Meng returns to Qixian County, he must go to Dongguan. If the Wei army can deploy in Dongguan in advance,
If you sign up, you can still take the initiative on the battlefield.
Except for some soldiers and horses (basically auxiliary soldiers outside the establishment) who stayed in Qixian and Daling, Cao Liang transferred all the soldiers and horses of the five battalions to Dongguan and made detailed arrangements before the war.
The battle of Dongguan is already imminent.

At this moment, the battle of Jinyang was very stalemate. Although the Huns relied on their large number of troops and horses to continuously launch fierce offensives, the walls of Jinyang City were tall and strong, and were by no means as weak as those in Dalingqi County.
, coupled with the fact that the defenders and the people were united and fought to the death, the Huns' attack never succeeded.
This made Liu Meng very anxious. Only by winning Jinyang could he have a chance to be promoted to Shanyu. Seeing that he had no competitors, he couldn't win Jinyang and couldn't take the last step. Liu Meng couldn't take the last step.
Extremely depressed.
Although Liu Bao suffered a defeat at Laoye Ridge and even lost the Xiongnu's home base of the Zi family on the left, Liu Meng did not think that Wei Jun's reinforcements of tens of thousands of people could cause any more waves. His top priority now is to capture the Jin Dynasty.
Yang, success depends solely on the fruit position. This is the most important task, and everything else has to fall by the wayside.
As for the reinforcements to deal with the Wei army, Liu Meng has decided to wait until he captures Jinyang before sending troops to the Zi family. It is a big joke that such an army dares to come to rescue Bingzhou. As long as the Xiongnu army turns back, they will be back in a matter of minutes.
You can destroy him.
Therefore, when someone reported to him the news of the fall of Qixian and Daling, Liu Meng did not react for a while. It was not until his subordinates confirmed the news again that Liu Meng understood. It was like a bolt from the blue and he was completely confused.
In fact, it took several days for the Huns to get the news of the fall of Daling in Qixian County. Because the Wei army had implemented such a tight blockade, no news could be heard from Daling in Qixian County.
But just as Cao Liang expected, the fact that there is no news from Qixian County does not mean that it can be concealed forever. After all, Jinyang will also seek to contact Qixian County.
The first person to notice something unusual was the quartermaster under Liu Meng. According to the original plan, today was the day when the grain and grass transportation from Qixian County would arrive. However, after waiting for nearly a day, the quartermaster did not see the grain and grass transportation vehicle.
He felt very strange. Since Qixian County was not too far from Jinyang, even if there was a delay, it would not be delayed for so long.
So the quartermaster sent someone to urge him, but by the next day, not only had the grain truck not arrived, but even the people he sent had disappeared. Only then did the quartermaster realize that something was wrong, and reported it to the general on the right.
this situation.
The general on the right immediately sent someone to check, and found out that Qixian and Daling had been lost three days ago. He hurriedly reported it to Liu Meng.
Qi County is the base camp of the Xiongnu on the right. It is very important to Liu Meng. His family is small, his property, and everything he owns are in Qi County. If Qi County is lost, Liu Meng's losses will be huge.
It's grown up.
Liu Meng was really furious this time.
