Chapter 993

Sima Shi couldn't help but be shocked. Sima Shi also knew that the general was the leader of the cavalry camp. It was not Liu Jing, who used to be the captain of the cavalry camp. Since he defected to Cao Liang, he served as the General of the Right Guard and commanded the Right Guard.

Sima Shi has always served as the Central Guard Army, and is quite familiar with officers above several battalions of the Central Army. Therefore, when Liu Jing appeared on the top of the city, Sima Shi recognized him at a glance.

What made Sima Master strange was that the previous information had not always said that Liu Jing led the Right Guard Camp to be stationed in Leping. Leping is hundreds of miles away from Pingyang, and with the obstacles of the mountains, the road is difficult to move. If you rush from Leping to Pingyang, you will not be able to do it in less than ten days.

The Right Guard Camp is at least a team of tens of thousands of people. If it takes action, how could it be possible to avoid Sima Jun's eyes and silently take down Pingyang City?

Although Pingyang is at the back of the front line, it does not mean that Sima Jun does not pay attention to the situation here. Every few days, Pingyang will inform the front line of the situation to communicate with each other.

But Sima's army's entire attention was on Jiexiu's area from Qixian, so they were naturally not too concerned about the situation in Pingyang and Hedong. In fact, when the Right Guard Camp left Leping and marched westward, it was the time when the battle in Qixian had not yet begun. At that time, Sima Yi led 70,000 cavalry and was advancing north with an aura of devouring mountains and rivers. Everyone in the Sima army was full of confidence in this battle. Who would have thought that at this time, Cao Liang would suddenly draw the Right Guard Camp to attack Pingyang?

Of course, even if they think of it, they will probably laugh at it. Jinyang will find it difficult to save it. Even if they take Pingyang, what can they do?

But no one expected that Sima Jun would be defeated so badly in Qi County. The situation was in chaos at this time, so naturally no one paid attention to the situation in Pingyang.

The Right Guard Camp sneak attack on Pingyang was originally a part of Cao Liang's many plans. This trick was to cut off the Sima army's retreat. Not only the Right Guard Camp, but Cao Liang also sent Wang Jun's Changshui Camp to sneak attack Anyi.

At the same time, attacking the two county cities in Pingyang and Hedong, Cao Liang completely cut off the last hope of Sima's army. In Hedong, only these two cities have enough rest capacity to accommodate the Sima's army's 100,000 troops. Only these two county cities have solid defense facilities and capital to compete.

In terms of size, other small counties could not accommodate many Sima's troops, and there was not enough food, grass and supplies to supply Sima's army. Therefore, after the Sima's army retreated, it would inevitably retreat to these two cities. Cao Liang took the lead and captured these two counties, forcing the Sima's army to have no place to stay. If the field battles, the Bingzhou cavalry could easily teach them how to be human.

In fact, it is not difficult to attack Pingyang Anyi. After all, the Sima army launched a large-scale northern expedition this time, and most of the troops in the Hedong area were transferred. Now, the Sima army's defense is empty in the Hedong area.

More importantly, it is the problem of weak awareness of defense in the rear, and no one can understand that the Bingzhou army would be in the face of Sima's army and the front line was extremely tight, and they would draw troops to attack the rear city of Sima's army. This was simply a futile and dying move, and would not have any effect on the battle situation on the front line.

Under such circumstances, when Liu Jing led the Right Guard Camp to Leping and headed west, the Sima Army was completely unaware of it. Of course, it was no wonder that the Sima Army was walking westward, walking in the Shangdang area, and this area was still within the control of the Bingzhou Army. Even if General Lu Zhao, who was attacking Leping County, found that the Right Guard Camp was missing, he could not pass it to the Sima Army on the Jiexiu Front in time.

Due to the barrier of mountains and rivers, the news from the Jizhou Army could only be transmitted to Yecheng first, then through Yecheng to Henoi, from Hanoi to Hedong, and then to Jiexiu Front.

Even if he was rushing around like this, he might not be able to pass the news to Jiexiu in time. What's more, Lu Zhao got the news, which was a few days after the disappearance of the Right Guard Camp. In addition, the verification time, when he found that the situation was wrong, the daylily was almost cold.

At this time, the Youwei Camp had already traveled between the mountains and ridges of Shangdang. They walked lightly and smoothly along the winding valley road to Guyuan County, the west of Shangdang County. They just had to cross Taiyue Mountain and could reach Pingyang City directly.

At this time, Liu Jing did not march rashly, but sent a team of about a thousand people to change into Sima Jun's flag and armor. He quietly crossed Taiyue Mountain in the dark, and at dawn, he arrived at the city of Pingyang.

At this time, Pingyang City was the time to be most relaxed in defense. Although the Battle of Bingzhou had entered the most critical moment, Pingyang City, which was hundreds of miles away, had no tension at all. The city gate still opened at the normal time when the rooster crowed and closed at sunset. When the vanguard troops of the Right Guard Camp resisted the city, it was when the Pingyang City Gate had just opened.

The sudden appearance of an army made the defenders somewhat panic, but when they saw the Sima Army's banner, everyone felt relieved. It was their own soldiers, so what should I worry about?

After all, this place is hundreds of miles away from the front line, so how could the Bingzhou army attack such a long distance? Besides, there are countless troops coming from the road from Pingyang to Jiexiu. This small army must be a team that transports logistics supplies, and the troops guarding the city are too lazy to even conduct inspection procedures.

When the Bingzhou army arrived at the city gate, they found that Pingyang City was negligent in defense, and only a small number of troops guarded the city gate. So they rushed forward and killed the troops guarding the city.

The sudden attack completely confused the army guarding the city. How could this happen? Why did its own army commit suicide and slaughter?

When they realized that the situation was wrong, it was already late. The vanguard of Bingzhou Army had already controlled the city gate of Pingyang. Pingyang prefect Hu Fen went to the front line, and Sima Yi did not reappoint the prefect. Now, there is only a county magistrate named Qiao in Pingyang City. He is just a civil servant and is completely out of control. Faced with the sharp offensive of Bingzhou Army, Qiao County Chief could only run away with his head in his arms.

Moreover, after the vanguard troops succeeded, the Right Guard Camp immediately rushed in, killed from Taiyue Mountain, and successfully entered Pingyang City. It took Pingyang City almost without any blood.
