Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 149 Xia Houyuan wants to attack Shouchun

Zhang Yi didn't know who Xu Ding was, but he still had some understanding of Sun En, who was the leader of an uprising.But seeing his characteristics, he turned out to be the leader of a religious uprising.

An uprising is a statement based on historical justice. If it is on the side of the ruler, it is treason.There are countless uprisings or rebellions related to religion in history.It was the three brothers Zhang Jiao who started this, after which religious uprisings and rebellions increased.Various religions, Taoism, Buddhism, and Christianity are even evil religions.

From Sun En's Taoist characteristics, this is the leader of a religious uprising.For such a person, Zhang Yi is still a little afraid. He is afraid that this Sun En will mess up his Taoist strategy.

"Where is Sun En implanted?"

"Sun En is now Ge Hong's new apprentice."

I hope that Ge Hong can lead him well. If this man revolts again, he may bear the infamy of being forced by the government to rebel against the people.

At this time, Wei Wentong walked in, "Master, there is movement in Shen County."

Zhang Yi looked up, "Xia Houyuan can't sit still?"

Wei Wentong said: "Travel the horse to report that he has just left the city and is heading east. He may be attacking Shouchun."

Zhang Yi chuckled: "I'm more interested in how Xia Houyuan crossed the Huai River!"

Wei Wentong also laughed, "I want to know too."

After Xia Houyuan arrived at the Huai River, he also became worried, how should he cross the river?He really wanted to sneak attack on Shouchun. He also received a military report from Cao Cao yesterday. Zhang Yi actually sent people to raid the siege troops and even killed Xu Chu's brother. He was really furious.

He also thought highly of himself. The purpose of his raid on Shen County was to prevent Zhang Yi from supporting Gushi County.But Zhang Yi still supported Gushi as if he didn't exist.This made Xia Houyuan a little angry, and he wanted to teach Zhang Yi a lesson.

Xia Houyuan discussed with Zhang Liao, "Zhang Yi raided and killed Xu Ding, Xu Zhongkang was extremely angry, but for the sake of the lord's cause, he held back his grief and is a role model for us."

"However, Zhang Yi has to succeed, lest it will become more and more serious. I intend to surprise Shouchun and force Zhang Yi to return to defense."

Zhang Liao had some concerns, "Attacking Shouchun requires crossing the Huai River. I heard that above the Huai River, Zhang Yi is under the control of a navy, so it may not be easy for him to cross."

Xia Houyuan said: "It depends on human effort."

Zhang Liao still disagreed, "Attacking Shouchun is worse than attacking Zhang Yi's camp. You don't need to cross the Huai River, and you don't need to travel long distances."

Xia Houyuan shook his head, "I also know it, but Shouchun is Zhang Yi's government, and it is only by going straight to Shouchun that Zhang Yi has no time to take care of Runan."

Zhang Liao still advised: "It is difficult to attack Shouchun, but easy to control Zhang Yi. Why did the general choose the difficult over the easy?"

Xia Houyuan was very stubborn, "It's a big plan for my lord!"

"Wen Yuan, you come to stay in Shen County, I will take my own birthday!"

Zhang Liao was puzzled, what was Xia Houyuan doing?Obviously knowing that it is difficult to attack Shouchun, why do you want to do it?
Xia Houyuan wandered north of the Huai River for three days, but he couldn't find any boats or a place to cross the river.The Huai River is not an ordinary small river, and it is not a dry season at this time. The narrow place of the Huai River is also more than one mile away. How can we cross it without a boat?swim over?Then wait to die!He will definitely be tortured and killed by Zhang Yi's navy.

Xia Houyuan found that he could not get through the Huai River, but he did not withdraw his troops. Instead, he sent scouts to investigate the movement of Xia Cai and Zhang Yi's camp, only to find that the two scouts kept scouting, but they just stood still.Seeing that there was no opportunity for Xia Houyuan to take advantage of, he had no choice but to return to Shen County.

Zhang Liao was even more confused. He had only been away for a few days and had come back. He didn't look like he was going on an expedition!It was like going out for some training and having an armed march for a few days.What on earth is Xia Houyuan going to do?
Xia Houyuan returned to the mansion, immediately wrote a letter to Cao Cao, and sent someone to send him away.He took out another letter and burned it in the brazier.

This letter was written to him by Cao Cao. The reason why he expressed his intention to attack Shouchun was actually Cao Cao's strategy.The reason why Cao Cao wanted Xia Houyuan to do this was actually to appease Xu Chu. No matter what, he had to express an attitude.Sending people to attack Shouchun was his statement, letting Xu Chu know how much he weighed in his heart.

After Cao Cao received the letter, he smiled smugly, and then his complexion changed, and he sent someone to call Xu Chu, and said to him with shame: "Zhongkang, I am ashamed of you! I secretly sent Xia Houyuan to attack Shouchun, wanting to Capture Zhang Yi's family and let Zhongkang vent his anger. However, Xia Houyuan is incompetent and can't cross the river by the Huai River, so I will punish him!"

Xu Chu moved and said: "My lord's heart, Chu Xin has taken it. But my lord, don't ruin your plan for Chu! To attack Zhang Yi, you should first control the water army. You need a water army to cross the Huai River, and you need a water army to cross the river. It takes years to control the water army." Chu also understands the heart of General Miaocai, but I beg my lord not to do this to Chu again!"

Cao Cao was very moved, "Zhongkang is my good minister!"

What a picture of the harmony between the monarch and his ministers!

Cao Cao used a small trick to appease Xu Chu and dispel some of Xu Chu's dislike for Cao Hong.

If Cao Hong didn't open the door to let Xu Ding's trilogy enter the camp, Xu Chu would definitely hate Cao Hong!But Cao Cao didn't want this. Xu Chu was his internal minister. Although Cao Hong was a foreign minister, he was his brother from the same clan and saved his life!If there is a conflict between the two, there will definitely be internal friction, which Cao Cao does not want to see.He doesn't want the internal ministers to collude with the foreign ministers, nor does he want the internal ministers to have any grudges with the foreign ministers. Whether it is love or hate, it is all emotions, and emotions will make people lose their minds.

However, human nature is more complicated, and there is only so much Cao Cao can do, and it will be fine to let Cao Hong Shao hang out in front of Xu Chu in the future.

After Cao Cao dealt with Xu Chu's matter, he began to wonder again, where did Zhang Yi's cavalry go?He is a little worried!Enemies in the open are not scary, but enemies in the dark are the scariest!You know there is a cavalry wandering around, but you can't find him yet, how dare you send troops with confidence?Therefore, Cao Cao has not sent anyone to attack the city for several days. With such a cavalry at his side, the siege troops dare not attack the city with all their strength.

Liu Bei was in Gushi City, and finally took a breath. There were no Cao soldiers attacking the city in the past few days, so he immediately seized the time to consolidate the city defense.

At this time, Zhang Yi also started to make movements. He left an empty camp for Xia Houyuan, quietly withdrew his troops from the water village to the south of the Huai River, and sneaked to Di Qing's camp.

"How many soldiers does Cao Ren have?" Zhang Yi asked Di Qing while observing Cao Ren's camp.

"About 3000 people!"

"Let all soldiers get ready to attack the camp tomorrow!"
