Chapter 442
The so-called catching a turtle in a urn, beating a dog behind closed doors is probably the best way to describe the current situation in Luoyang.

With Yanshi's coalition forces' retreat route blocked, a very delicate situation has formed in the entire Luoyang area.

The 20 army had no way to retreat. Under the joint attack of the Tabai Army and the Xuanfeng Army, relying on Luoyang, they were squeezed into a small space from Luoyang to Beimanshan.There is no food and grass inside, and no reinforcements outside, so it can be said that they are suffering from hunger and cold.

The situation of the coalition forces is very bad...

But in the same way, it seems impossible for Dong Bi to eat the 20 horses in one bite.

Although there was a shortage of food and clothing, Zhou Yu and Xia Houyuan were not ordinary people after all, and they still built defense lines one after another around Luoyang.If Dong Bi attacked by force, then this line of defense would also cause him heavy losses.

Therefore, after nearly a year of confrontation, Dong Bi and the coalition forces faced off again.

This is definitely not good news for Dong Bi.At this time, he also had to admire Zhou Yu and Xia Houyuan's resilience.Although deserters appear every day, in the overall situation, there is still not much change.

The stepping white army and the picking front army have to pay a huge price if they don't take a step forward.

At the same time, the Battle of Youzhou, which is far away in the bitterly cold place in the northern part of the Great Wall, has come to an end...

Under He Qi Hao Zhao's plan, Lou Ban and Ta Dun turned against each other.The two sides had a bloody battle outside Lulong, and the result was that both sides suffered losses... At this time, Su Puyan made a very smart choice, surrender!
He opened Lulongsai, let the living beggars enter Liaoxi County, and cut Youzhou into two sections.

Hao Zhao launched a fierce attack from Daijun, while Xian Yufu made a feint attack in Zhuojun, restraining Wei Qiu's troops.After 20 days of hard fighting, Yan Rou finally lost food and grass, and her Karasuma elite cavalry fluctuated. Hao Zhao designed an ambush, and the entire army of [-] elite cavalry was wiped out. Yan Rou retreated to the west of Liaoning under the command of her own soldiers.

But Wei Chou also failed to resist Wei Duan's attack, and You Beiping fell, and Wei Chou was captured by Dianman and sent to Chang'an.

Although only the two counties of Youbeiping and Yuyang were resolved, in fact the battle of the Guanzhong Army in Youzhou has calmed down.After Gongsundu learned that Yuyang had fallen, his condition worsened and he died on the bed.Yan Rou led the troops back to Lelang County.

On the same day that Dong Bi captured Yanshi, He Qi invaded Liaodong.

However, after capturing Liaodong, He Qi and Hao Zhaoweiduan jointly signed Shangshu and asked to suspend the offensive against Youzhou.

Because Wangbei County could not support their further operations.

Chen Gong knew that relying on Wangbei County's support in the battle of Youzhou, it was already a limit to reach this point.

You know, Wangbei County was newly built not long ago, especially after Bingzhou was recovered, it almost assumed the material supply of Dingxiang and Dingxiang counties in the cloud.Coupled with the newly occupied Youzhou, what Feiwo has done can be said to have exceeded many people's expectations.At this level, they really can't be too demanding, because they have done a very good job.

Therefore, the Battle of Youzhou stopped before Meng Chun came.

A large amount of food and grass poured into Bingzhou and Youzhou from Shuofang and Mobei. At the same time, Guanzhong also had to face a shortage of supplies. Chen Gong had no choice but to ask Li Ru from Daxi Prefecture for help.

To be honest, this is not good news.

Various situations show that Guanzhong has reached its limit and it is impossible to continue fighting.

However, if the Luoyang war is not over for a day, the pressure in Guanzhong cannot be relieved.Chen Gong knows it, Gu Yong knows it, Dong Yu Chen Dao, Lu Meng and Xu Shu know it all.Similarly, they believed in Cao Cao in Xingyang, and they knew it very well.

"My lord, in the current situation, it's probably impossible to swallow the 20 troops of the coalition army at once."

Xu Shu and Pang Tong had already arrived in Yanshi, while Chen Dao, Zhang Yun, and Qu Yi Pang De continued to exert pressure on Luo Yang.

Dong Bi sat in the hall of Yanshi's government office and listened carefully to the opinions of all parties.

A firepit was dug in the hall, and coals transported from the Western Regions were placed in it, and the burning sound made a sound.

"Yuanzhi means..."

"My lord, because of this great battle, Guanzhong has not had a good rest for a year. If the war cannot be ended before the arrival of the spring flood, it will definitely delay the farming in Guanzhong this year. Then in the coming year, Guanzhong will inevitably face a famine."

Pang Tong also said: "Yes, no matter from that aspect, Guanzhong is not suitable for continuing to fight."

"Then what are you going to do? The situation in Luoyang has reached the current stage, is it possible to give up like this?"

Dian Wei couldn't help muttering, "Wouldn't it be a pity to do this?"

Xu Shu smiled wryly and said: "There is no other way. After all, our strength has not yet reached that point...Qi Hou, I also want to end this war as soon as possible, and I also want to capture the entire Kanto and Jiangdong tomorrow... But it is not possible Ah. With our current ability, it is already very rare to fight to this extent. If we continue to fight, I'm afraid..."

Facing Dian Wei, although Xu Shu was also Dong Pi's close minister, he had to speak cautiously.

Dian Wei scratched his head, "Master, what do you think should be done?"

At this moment, Dong Bi closed his eyes.He fell silent, and he was extremely hesitant in his heart, making it difficult to make a decision.

To be honest, he was really in a dilemma about this dilemma.

After a while, Dong Bi closed his eyes slightly, and rubbed his cheeks gently with his palm, "We are uncomfortable, and Cao Cao must also be uncomfortable, right?"

"Exactly!"

"Since we don't have the ability to eat fat in one bite, we might as well chew slowly."

Dong Bi stood up and said, "I think of an old saying: Our big retreat today is to make great strides forward tomorrow. Yuanzhi, Shiyuan, Ziming, Zishan... Do you think that if we let Zhou Yu go this time, the next Can we win when we meet again?"

Xu Shu smiled coldly, "If you can defeat him once, you can defeat him ten times, a hundred times!"

"very good!"

Dong Bi nodded and said: "Since this is the case, I'm afraid he's a bird. What to do, you all come up with an idea immediately, but no matter what the idea is, the most important point is that we can't suffer. The territory that has already been occupied must not be given up. .”

"I will understand at the end."

Dong Bi nodded and sighed, "If that's the case, then I'm going to send someone to Xingyang to negotiate peace with Cao Cao."

While talking, a fighter ran into the hall.

"My lord, there is a man outside the city who claims to be the lord's old friend, Cao Cao's envoy, and asks to see the lord."

Dong Pi was taken aback, and said softly, "Do I have any old friends in Xuchang?"

It seems that there is no more.If there was another Guo Jia in Cao Cao who could be called an old friend, since Guo Jia is dead, it is naturally impossible, and no one can be called an old friend.If so, it would be Cao Cao.

"The envoy has notified the name?"

"Someone said that his surname is Chen, and his last name is Qun..."

"Chen Qun?"

Dong Bi was taken aback for a moment, but immediately realized, "Chen Changwen came here suddenly, what could it be?"

Pang Tongtong smiled, "The lord also said earlier that we are not feeling well, and Cao Cao will certainly not be feeling well either."

"You mean..."

Pang Tong nodded and said: "I think Chen Qun's visit should be for this purpose. Anyway, Chen Qun has dealt with you, my lord. It seems that Cao Heizi also knows my lord very well... However, he came at the right time when!"

Dong Bi narrowed his eyes, "Scholar Yuan Ji will come out?"

Pang Tong laughed, and whispered in Dong Bi's ear for a moment, and Dong Bi nodded repeatedly, his eyes sparkling.

"Since that's the case... then follow what Shi Yuan said. Brother, you and Yuan Zhi went out of the city to greet me, and said that I am currently patrolling Beimang and not in the city. Shi Yuan, tell Zishan and Ziming your plan , let the two of them go to arrange it."

As he spoke, Dong Bi turned around and left the hall.

Pang Tong called Xu Shu and the others over, and said softly: "Chen Qun must have come here for the purpose of negotiating peace. In this matter, whoever speaks first will suffer the disadvantage. The more secure the person is, the greater the advantage will be. Let us That's it, that's it... everyone understands?"

Xu Shu and the other four couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

"Shi Yuan, you guys are really quick-witted. That's very good, just act according to what Shi Yuan said."

******
Dian Wei and Chen Qun had never met.

During the bloody battle against Bocai in Yingchuan, Dianwei was left behind in Wancheng.However, today's Dian Wei has a different status, he is a magistrate of the county, and he is famous.After all, he is the 'Ancient Evil Come' named by Emperor Han himself!
"Sir, what is the purpose of coming here this time?"

Dian Wei welcomed Chen Qun into the government office, and asked with a smile.

Chen Qun said: "Prime Minister Cao ordered me to discuss important matters with Dong Hou. I just don't know why Dong Hou can come back?"

When entering the city, Dian Wei had already told Chen Qun that Dong Bi was not in Yanshi.

Chen Qun was entrusted by Cao Cao, so he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Dian Wei said: "The Metropolitan Governor is currently patrolling Beimang, and Luoyang will be conquered in a few days, so it will take a few days to turn around. If you have something urgent, you may wish to inform someone in Dian. Before leaving, the Metropolitan Governor entrusted me with The right to do things cheaply."

"what……"

Chen Qun thought to himself: Even if you have the right to act cheaply, you can't talk about this kind of thing, and you can't make the decision.

"Marquis Qi's affection is shared by the hearts of the people. It's just that it's better to talk to Marquis Dong face to face about this matter."

"Well!"

Dian Wei smiled naively, "Since that's the case, then I won't force you sir. It will take three or four days for the governor to visit Beimang. If you don't dislike it, you might as well stay here. My brother often treats me like this in normal times." I said your name, sir."

"That group will disturb you!"

That night, Dian Wei hosted a banquet in honor of Chen Qun in the government office of Yanshi.

During the banquet, Dian Wei drank to his heart's content, and Chen Qun was stunned as he poured glass after glass of spirits.

"Why is Qihou so happy?"

Dian Wei said: "Without him, just a few days later, this Luo Yang can be taken down, I must be happy for my brother."

"what?"

Chen Qun's heart skipped a beat, "Luoyang still has tens of thousands of troops, and it may not be easy to take it down in a few days."

"Hahaha, an army of tens of thousands, compared to my brother, is just a mob..."

"Dianhou, please be careful with your words!"

Xu Shu hastily opened his mouth and interrupted Dian Wei's words.

But these words set off a monstrous wave in Chen Qun's heart.Could it be that Dong Bi has found a way?

Dian Wei muttered: "I'm so scared, even if I tell him, what else can he make?"

However, after being interrupted by Xu Shu, Dian Wei never said the rest of the words.After drinking for three rounds, Dian Wei became very excited.Pulling Chen Qun out of the hall, he pointed at the sergeants left and right in the courtyard with a smile, "This is my brother's army soldier, is it majestic?"

The so-called pawns in farming are soldiers who farm the fields.

Chen Qun saw that these "pawns in the field" were all heavy-backed, with broad arms and round waists, with helmets and armor on top, holding spears and halberds, and they were murderous and mighty.He couldn't help taking a deep breath, and said softly: "This is a fierce man!"

You took Chen Qun out of the government office and went to the warehouse, where you saw grain and grass piled up like a mountain.

"This is the food and grass that my brother dispatched from the Western Regions, do you think it is enough?"

Chen Qun also heard that Chang'an dispatched food and grass from the Western Regions, but he didn't expect that it would be confirmed in Yanshi City.

"The real soldiers are full of fine food, and their reputation is well-deserved!"

"Hahaha, there are fierce men in our army, and we have enough food and grass. Just wait until next spring..."

Xu Shu, who followed closely behind, shouted angrily: "Qi Hou, you have overdosed! Don't forget what the governor gave you before he left."

To tell the truth, Chen Qun is going to get tired of Xu Shu now!
But it was obvious that Xu Shu had quite a position in the army, and Dian Wei was sobered up after sternly yelling.

He and Chen Qun went back to the government office and drank happily until they were very drunk.

That night, Chen Qun and the wing room were tossing and turning, unable to sleep.Dian Junming said that in the coming spring... spring what?
He thought hard, and finally came up with the answer at dawn: spring floods...Dian Junming must have been talking about spring floods.Thinking back to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Taiping thief Zhang Yan used the spring flood to flood Wancheng.Could it be that Dong Bi is going to flood Luoyang?
The more you think about it, the more likely it is!

Outside Luoyang, there are three rivers: Luoshui, Yishui, and Jianshui. Once the spring flood comes, the water situation will be particularly terrifying.When the time comes, the three rivers will break their banks and Luoyang will be flooded...even if there are [-] troops, what use will it be?Don't forget that Xiahoulan's soldiers and horses were destroyed all of a sudden during the flood season.If so, Zhou Yu and Xia Houyuan are in danger.

No, I must try to persuade Dong Bi to make peace, no matter what the price is.
