Chapter 229 Retake of Sanshui County

Yang He, the governor of the Three-Border, did not consider it, which is what Sun Chuanting lacked the most. However, just talking about Sun Chuanting's suggestions still have many practicalities.

Lou Daji discussed with Li Jiasheng and others and decided to ask Cao Wenzhao about his attitude. As long as Cao Wenzhao also felt it was feasible, everyone would act according to the plan. If the court held accountable, everyone would take it together. The border generals were responsible, and the court would most likely turn a blind eye. This is called not ruling the public.

In Xianyang, Cao Wenzhao had just repelled the new round of attacks of the peasant army when he saw the guards hurried into the house with a letter in his arms. After opening the letter and studying it carefully, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Give away Xianyang and take down Sanshui County. This move seems very dangerous. If the peasant army ignores it and is determined to swallow Xi'an Prefecture, then this move is a bad move, which is equivalent to giving up the north to the peasant army and allowing the other party to let the other party go and attack Xi'an Prefecture.

After thinking for a while, Cao Wenzhao called his nephew Cao Bianjiao in, "Uncle, I'm busy deploying the defense line. Why are you looking for me at this time? But what's the urgent matter?"

"Don't be impatient. At this time, you will naturally be in a hurry to find you. There is something you need to do in person. Tonight, you secretly gather your troops and leave the city after midnight. I don't care what method you use, and be sure to take down Sanshui County before noon tomorrow!"

Cao Bianjiao was drinking water. After listening to Cao Bianjiao's words, he couldn't help but spray it on the ground. He stared at his eyes and touched the water stains at the corner of his mouth, thinking he had heard it wrong, "Uncle, are you sure you weren't kidding? You asked your nephew to go to Sanshui County at this time?"

"Well, you heard it right. My husband's order was very serious. Are you unsure of taking Sanshui County? If this is the case, it will be difficult for me to do it for you, just change someone."

Cao Bianjiao couldn't stand such words. He stood up, put the teacup heavily on the table, and glared and said, "What are you saying? My uncle underestimated people. My nephew is absolutely sure to take Sanshui County before noon tomorrow. But I don't understand. My nephew took people to attack Sanshui County. Xianyang must be insufficient. Could it be that we will attack Sanshui County and not guard Xianyang?"

"This is not something you need to consider. Since that's the case, you should prepare now. Remember, don't let others know about the matter of attacking Sanshui County, especially if it cannot be passed on to Master Yang's ears. I understand?"

"Nephew understands" Cao Bianjiao knew very well. If Commander Yang knew about this, the attack on Sanshui County would have been aborted.

......

Sanshui County, after Cao Wenzhao went south a few days ago, Zhang Yichuan's troops came again not long after, and soon captured Sanshui County. The war in Xi'an Prefecture was fierce, and something went wrong in Yan'an Prefecture. The officers and soldiers took the lead in Ansai City and Mizhi County and completely took the initiative. At present, leader Wang Jiayin was determined to take down Xi'an City first, which also led to pitifully few soldiers stationed in Sanshui County.

Sanshui County is in the core area of ​​the peasant army's sphere of influence. Wang Jiayin and others never thought that someone would come to the other side to seek death. Therefore, Sanshui County's defense is equivalent to nothing. Some of the troops were transferred before, and no further supplements were continued. The special situation in Sanshui County directly led to Wang Jiayin and others not paying attention to this place.

Cao Bianjiao marched urgently at night. When the next day, two thousand soldiers appeared outside Sanshui County, many peasant soldiers were hiding in the corner and sleeping.

Cao Bianjiao was never polite to the peasant army and ordered the killing directly. Since the guards of Sanshui County were not prepared at all and the city gates were not closed, Cao Bianjiao could easily break into Sanshui County.

The fully armed Zhang Yichuan retreated north with his troops and kept giving orders at any time, but his whole head was confused. He still didn't understand why the officers and soldiers attacked Sanshui County? Is this here to die?

Although there are less than 500 people in Sanshui County, there are still more than 100,000 soldiers around. As long as you return a little and surround Sanshui County, the officers and soldiers entering Sanshui County will have to wait for death.

At the north gate, Zhang Yichuan bumped into Cao Bianjiao again, and when he saw the brave and warlike young man, Zhang Yichuan was a little panicked. Last time, he was beaten by Cao Bianjiao and almost lost his life. Unexpectedly, this time it was Cao Bianjiao.

The attack and defense of Sanshui County ended very quickly. When Zhang Yichuan saw Cao Bianjiao, his fighting spirit disappeared and disappeared. As soon as he left the city, he led the remaining soldiers to break out of the siege and fled to the west.

After Cao Bianjiao took over Sanshui County, he built defensive fortifications in full swing. Just one hour later, Cao Wenzhao's army entered Sanshui County.

Cao Wenzhao's troops suddenly abandoned Xianyang and took down Sanshui County, which caused a great shock. Not only was the peasant army caught off guard, but even Yang He in Xi'an was furious. Yang He was born in a scholarly family, read the books of sages and was humble, but this time he finally couldn't help but say a few swear words: "Cao Wenzhao, this guy, stepped on sheep dung eggs as spices? Without asking for instructions, he abandoned Xianyang directly. He was treason, and he was committing a crime."

Hong Chengchou stood aside, his face full of bitterness. The attack and defense of Xi'an Prefecture were already very difficult, and Cao Wenzhao suddenly came like this again, which was really unexpected. Now asking Cao Wenzhao's crime is like causing trouble for himself. No matter what Cao Wenzhao did, whether it was reward or punishment, it would be a matter for the future.

"Sir Yang, let's stop Thunder's wrath for a while. General Cao is a famous man on the battlefield and will never do meaningless things. Perhaps, he has his own reason for doing this."

"Maybe he has his reasons, but why didn't he ask me for advice? Is this official, the three-sided governor, a decoration? Humph, if Xi'an Prefecture falls, Cao Wenzhao will bear the main responsibility."

Hong Chengchou sighed and said patiently: "Mr. Yang, we can only shrink our defense as much as possible at the moment. Otherwise, with our troops, we will not be able to defend Xianyang and the western defense line at the same time."

Yang He could only nod his head helplessly, and after complaining, he would do whatever he should do. No matter what Cao Wenzhao did, he had to cooperate with Cao Wenzhao at this time and could not watch him and die.

Hong Chengchou admires Yang He. This is the case. No matter when and where, Yang He is right, wrong with things and people.

When Sanshui County was in his own hands, he didn't think anything, but after it fell into the hands of the officers and soldiers, Wang Jiayin and others finally knew how important this place was.

Sanshui County is located in the core area and can even directly attack Pingliang to the west. Now Wang Jiayin is in Pingliang. In order to support Xi'an Prefecture, he has almost drained all his troops. Now Wang Jiayin has only more than a thousand people around him, and these people cannot guarantee his safety.】In desperation, the various departments began to receive orders to lead troops back to rescue and wipe out the officers and soldiers in the county.
