When he heard that Puyang in Dongjun was attacked by Chimei, Ma Yuan's command, the lieutenant generals and captains who had been suffocated were eager to try. Longyou was fighting a big battle, and at least bandits could be suppressed in Youji in Hebei, but Zhongyuan was strangely peaceful for a long time. Ma Yuan did not rush to advance to Yanzhou in Yuzhou, but he practiced his troops and did not stop them from provoking Chimei.

After training for a thousand days, the soldiers are used for a while. Now Chimei is here to attack the door by herself, can she always fight back?

General Zheng Tong of Hengye then asked, "The subordinate officials are willing to lead 5,000 troops to rush to Puyang."

But Ma Yuan didn't think so and said, "There are rumors that during the Shang Dynasty, Lu Shanggai was poor and old, so he used fishing for the traitor of Zhou Xibo."

"What you are fishing is not fish, but fishing for people."

"The same is true for Red Eyebrow's troops this time. The tens of thousands of soldiers under Puyang are just bait, which is actually a plan to attack the east and the west."

Tens of thousands of people are used as bait, and only a large number of bandit armed forces like Red Eyebrow can be used. According to Dong Xian, Red Eyebrow has been expanding in continuous mobile warfare. There are a total of 400,000 battalions in Yuzhou. The few people in Puyang are just the tip of the iceberg of this terrifying number.

"From Chenliu to Puyang, there are all plains and wilderness, and there is no danger to defend. Once our army is in the east and the number of people is small, it will be easily attacked by the Red Eyebrow."

Using the terms of their emperor in the military practice, this is called "surrounding the point and attacking the aid". Now that Chimei uses this trick, Lao Ma Yuan feels that he is connotated.

"And if the three armies come out soon..." Ma Yuan, as usual, was doing war chess with the captains on the map. He moved the Wei army located in Ao Cang and Chenliu east to Dongjun, and then turned the Red Eyebrow in Yingchuan and Huaiyang to the north, occupying Chenliu and Xinzheng!

"Then our troops contact Luoyang will cut off the Red Eyebrow Army."

The Red Eyebrow has been fighting in the world for so many years, and it is not a waste of time. She is especially good at annihilation of enemies in sports. Ma Yuan has studied the battles of Chengchang and Runan, which are all the same.

Zheng Tong was worried: "What should I do if there is an emergency in Puyang?"

Ma Yuan was not worried at all and asked everyone: "Since the end of the new year, where is the most difficult city in Central Plains?"

Some people say it is Hulao Pass in Chenggao, some say it is Luoyang, and some say it is Chenliu City where they are.

"No."

Ma Yuan shook his head: "All the above cities have changed their ownership, but Puyang has been defeated by Chi Zhaoping's tribe in five years since the reign of Mang's Last Emperor, and has been besieged by Chi Zhaoping's tribe, besieged by the head of the city, and harassed by the commander of the Green Forest Qu. The prefect Wang Hong has been defending it."

There is no way, who made Puyang build the south bank of the river, which is not within the protection of the Wei County? Naturally, every time the war is in chaos, it will be washed away, but this also made Puyang build the city to a very high level.

"Now that Chimei is here again, I think it's not that easy to capture Puyang City."

Ma Yuan described Puyang as a city of unstoppable desolation and said with a smile: "Wang Hong is timid, but he had a poison sack around his neck during the Xin Dynasty. He wanted to commit suicide first when he was sentenced to death. He became a good doctor with three broken arms. Can a mere tens of thousands of red eyebrows scare him? What's more, Puyang is only separated from Wei County by a river, and he will be handed over to Geng Chun, Jizhou for a little rescue. As for our army..."

"It's as calm as a mountain!"

...

A few days later, in Yecheng, Jizhou, Wei Chengyin Pitong, just received the third letter of help from Puyang, when Ma Yuan's reply was received, and she couldn't help but curse secretly.

"What a good lieutenant Ma Guo. He treats Puyang as Ju. He doesn't want to save him, so he kicks him in Jizhou!"

Ma Yuan's letter was sent to Pi Tong and one to Geng Chun who stayed in Jizhou. He was familiar with both of them and stated his difficulties: the Central Plains was in decline, and even with the food support of Sili, he only trained 40,000 new soldiers, and was scattered in Luoyang, Chenggao, Ao Cang and other places. After all, the Wei army wanted to provide soldiers with rations for armor and soldiers, and they were trained for several months or even a year. Unlike Red Eyebrows, they could join the group by wiping their eyebrows.

Ma Yuan thought that after the Red Eyebrows had shortage of food in winter, he would definitely launch a large-scale attack on Chenliu and Luoyang, with the target of Chenliu and Ao Cang's grain. At present, the Wei army was not concentrated enough, so the main energy was to build a defense line and fight a defensive counterattack with the Red Eyebrows. So he had no time to take care of Puyang. He hoped that Geng Chun and Wei Chengyin and Pitong would cooperate sincerely and use the method of Ma Yuan to help Puyang to protect the city.

The first three times when Puyang was beaten, they did help from Wei County across the river. One of them was Ma Yuan personally raiding the Green Forest Army's granary Wuchao. When he retreated, he fought in Guandu and annihilated thousands of enemies.

But Pi Tong shook her head: "If Chimei had arrived half a month earlier, Jizhou would indeed be able to send tens of thousands of troops to help Puyang and deal with Chimei together, but now..."

He also just learned bad news: Zhang Feng, the prefect of Zhuo County in Youzhou, didn't know what was wrong. He actually colluded with the remnants of Tongma when the governor of Youzhou Jingdan was seriously ill, and called himself "the supreme general" and turned against him!

...

At the end of October, under the city of Zhuo County, Youzhou, the army from Youzhou and Jizhou surrounded Guo several times.

After reading Ma Yuan's letter, Wei Zuo Prime Minister Geng Chun cursed: "The Red Eyebrows are really good at picking up the times. They don't come early or late, but they go north when the rebellion in Hebei. If the two places were not far apart, I would have to doubt that they had made an appointment!"

After saying that, he handed the letter to Jing Dan, who was still sick. The Youzhou governor suffered from illness in the army last year and had never been eradicated. However, Jing Dan refused to take good care of himself and devoted himself to consolidating border defense and suppressing the remnants of the Tongma remnants of Bohai County.

It is completely opposite to Ma Yuan's "everyone is willing" way of leading troops. Perhaps because he was a scholar, Jing Dan led his troops and had to take care of everything in detail. He was really exhausted. After more than half a year of fierce battle, Chengtou Zilu was finally defeated by Bohai County, leaving this desolate place that was repeatedly tortured by the Yellow River and the military disasters to the Wei army. However, Jing Dan also rushed to the front line, became tired and sick, and almost went there.

Zhang Feng, the prefect of Zhuo County, who performed well in suppressing the enemy chaos, took the opportunity to make trouble, lied that his fifth republic collapsed in Longyou and Jing Dan was also dead. His relatives Geng and Ma Lianhe rebelled, and wanted to kill the regent emperor's grandfather and usurp the Wu family's country...

Youzhou has not been peaceful in the past year. The fifth reunion suppressed the Liu surname in Hebei and forced the relocation. The carrots were pulled out, but the pit was still there, which did cause many hidden dangers. Zhang Feng was so nonsense that many people believed him. Zhuo County became in chaos, and Zhang Feng marched towards Jicheng. At the same time, he sent people to contact Liaoxi, Liaodong and Lelang County, which currently only accompanies the fifth reunion, and asked them to rebel together.

Jing Dan was furious when he heard the news. He almost bleeded his back and fainted for several days after coughing up blood. For a while, there was no leader in Youzhou. Thanks to the prefect of Guangyang County, Kou Xun, to stabilize the hearts of the people: "You are working hard! Even if your Majesty is unhealthy, there is still the prince here, why worry about having no master?"

Kou Xun was ordered to withstand the first wave of attacks from the rebels in Jicheng. When he arrived at Gai Yan and brought Yuyang Tuqi to rescue according to the edict sent by the fifth Lunqiu, since the bandits in Youzhou had decided, he dispatched three thousand Tuqi and followed Ma Yuan's orders. Zhang Feng took advantage of their way south to dare to make trouble.

But unexpectedly, Gai Yan encountered sudden rains in Jizhou, and he rested in Xindu and did not go south in time. Hearing the rebellion in the north, he quickly rushed to help.

Geng Chun also dispatched Jizhou troops to the north in time. After several insignificant battles, he surrounded the rebels in Zhuo County. Jing Dan also recovered slightly and insisted on leading Youzhou troops to siege the north of the city.

At this moment, he read Ma Yuan's letter. Ma Yuan, who was not sure about the situation in the north, was still joking inside, saying, Jing Dan, did Geng Chun swallow up the Youzhou thunder cavalry that should have been transferred to him.

"I am the General of the Cavalry. I have no horses in Zhongzhou and I am so fond of women. Wouldn't I be the General of Prostitute?"

Ma Yuan was humorous and joking, but Jing Dan couldn't laugh, and his thin and yellow face was full of shame: "It's all my fault. When Wenyuan was making big moves north, there was no rushing cavalry available."

After saying that, he coughed for a while. At present, Jing Dan mainly relies on the "ginseng" sent from Liaodong to maintain his spirits. He didn't know how long he, the governor of Youzhou, could do it.

"It's Zhang Feng's rebellion, no wonder Sun Qing." Geng Chun comforted his old friend and told him not to blame himself too much. No one expected this guy to suddenly rebel. What was he trying to do? Geng Chun felt that after he captured the city, he had to figure it out carefully. Could it be that there was a hostile force to make a difference? Otherwise, why would he be so stupid?

Geng Chun pointed to Zhuo County, which was stubbornly resisting, and said, "When the Zhuo County is waiting for a while, the soldiers of Jizhou will immediately go south to help Wenyuan attack the Red Eyebrows together."

But when they touched the Yellow River, it was probably going to be spring next year. After thinking for a while, Jing Dan made a decision.

"For Wei, the rebellion of Zhuo County is just a problem of elbows and armpits, and the situation is over. On the contrary, the red eyebrows in the Central Plains will endanger their confidants!"

"Soldiers are very fast. If you can't wait until you break through the city, the Youzhou cavalry will go south immediately now!"

"Be sure to arrive in Hanoi within one month and eat Hanoi's Bean Valley, so that you can have combat power in spring."

The Tuqi is still under his command, so Jing Dan can decide for himself. He told Geng Chun again: "Boshan will also transfer Jizhou troops to the south one after another."

"Then Zhuo County and Lelang..." Geng Chun was still worried. He heard that someone had responded to Zhang Feng's rebellion. That was Lelang County, the easternmost part of Youzhou, and Youzhou would not be peaceful for a while.

"I've been greatly improved."

Jing Dan smiled and said, "Since it is a rebellion caused by Youzhou's jurisdiction, I, the governor of Youzhou, should also be given the big battle in the south to Boshan and Wenyuan. As long as Dan is not ill and lying on the bed, he will be competent!"

"Now that he has rebelled against the enemy, he has no power for a long time. What kind of name does he have to call him "Supreme General". The supreme one has no head!"

...

Gai Yan's name is Juqing. He was born in a small county near Sai. He was born tall and big, eight feet and nine inches long, equivalent to 1.9 meters in later generations. He is also considered a "giant". He even had to choose the largest mount, otherwise he would not be able to carry this strong man.

As a friend of Wu Han, he raised troops to respond to Wei last year. After Wu Han was transferred to his side by Wu Han, Gai Yan succeeded to the prefect of Yuyang and accepted the Yuyang cavalry. This time he was ordered to go south.

Jizhou was a familiar place for them to pass when they were defeated by Liu Ziyu. When people from Xindu and Hejian counties heard that Yuyang was coming, they all closed their doors and doors. The prefects only sent people to supply food and grass outside the city and did not allow them to enter the city.

After all, in the last war, the thunder cavalry often robbed in Jizhou and had a very bad reputation in the local area.

Gai Yan could tell the difference and said, "I'm going to be more restrained and I'll grab it when I'm outside the Wei realm."

The Yuyang thunderbolts responded to the promise, although they had already belonged to the Wei army, these frontier men who were used to indulging themselves still regarded themselves as recruiting soldiers and fighting with Lumi with golden cakes. The money and food given by the Wei Lord was indeed quite generous.

But they didn't know that the fifth reun first brought Wu Han by his side, and created a "generals do not know soldiers". Now they transferred Yuyang's cavalry from a familiar area, and they were afraid that they would give them a "generals do not know soldiers do not know generals". Looking at the three armies, except Xiao Geng, only Ma Yuan could restrain these unruly cavalry.

Gai Yan also heard about Ma Yuan’s name for a long time. He stayed in Yuyang in the last battle and was unable to see him. He heard that Wu Han had a little unhappy with the National Guard.

But according to rumors in the army, Ma Yuan was also a generous and heroic hero. As the main general of the Wei State founding army, many of the generals and captains came out of his subordinates. Even Geng Chun and Jing Dan also admired Ma Yuan very much and praised Ma Yuan as a magical hero, which made Gai Yan even more curious.

On the way south, he was even worried that he would be delayed by the Youzhou rebellion, which led to a missed war: "Don't wait for me to arrive, Ma Yuan would have repelled the Red Eyebrow."

However, when Gai Yan and Yuyang suddenly arrived near the Wei army's Yecheng in late November, they learned about the recent situation of the Central Plains War from Wei Cheng's great Yin Pi Tong.

"Puyang's circumference is not resolved, and I'm still sleepy?"

"What, Chen Liucheng is also surrounded by Red Eyebrows?"

"The Red Eyebrow Army has hundreds of thousands from Yingchuan and Huaiyang to the north. Ma Guowei retreated again and again. Except for Chenliu City, more than ten counties east of Xingyang gave up and retreated to Ao Cang?"

There is only these rough news for the time being, but it is enough to disappoint Gai Yanda, who has advancement but no retreat.

"It is rumored that Ma Yuan is the descendant of the Ma Fujun Zhao Kuo."

"I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it!"
