Simulate the Three Kingdoms, kill Cao Mengde at the beginning

Chapter 117

Although Pang Tong respected Yuan Xi, he was usually too sensitive and arrogant.

In addition to his ugly appearance, most of Yuan Jun's civil and military officials have a bad impression of Pang Tong.

Hearing him speak for Yu Jin at this time, Zhang Nan couldn't help it immediately, and said: "The military division thinks this is a divorce plan, what evidence is there?"

Pang Tong replied, "Isn't it too arbitrary for General Zhang to conclude that Wen Ze voted for Cao based on just one letter?"

"He himself listened to Cao Cao's words."

Yuan Xi was furious, and scolded: "Shut up!"

Zhang Nan trembled all over, knelt on the ground with a thud, and said in a trembling voice: "The general will be convicted."

Jiao Touch hesitated for a moment, then knelt down as well.

Yuan Xi slowly got up from behind the desk, looked around at the generals, and spoke without any emotion.

"I don't care what happened to Yu Jin and others before, but today his writing works for me, he is my man, similar to what Zhang Nan said today, I don't want to hear it again, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."

Everyone in the big tent looked different, but no one dared to speak anymore.

"Go back."

Yuan Xi said calmly: "Shicaiwen attacked Hangu Pass, if he wanted to surrender Cao, how could he work so hard?"

"Wen Ze worked so hard to show his loyalty, if I still doubt him, wouldn't it be chilling?"

Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch obediently retreated.

Yuan Xi's eyes were disdainful, for Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu, he could already feel worthy of them with self-awareness.

In his previous life, these two people had betrayed their masters for glory, and if he dared to make trouble again, he wouldn't mind using them as a sacrificial flag.

Because of Yuan Xi's coercion, no one dared to bring up this matter again.

Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch returned to the tent, Jiao Touch sighed and found that Zhang Nan was still laughing, he asked in puzzlement, "Brother Zhang is not angry?"

"Why are you angry?"

Zhang Nan slapped his ass on the table, and said with a smile: "If I was in the position of the lord, I would say the same, otherwise, wouldn't it be cold to those generals?"

Jiao Touch was still puzzled: "Then why do we have to expose Yu Jin?"

Zhang Nan glanced outside the tent, and said in a low voice: "Brother Jiao, please think about it, if we expose this matter, the lord will have no thorns in his heart? Will everyone doubt that Yu Jin?"

He chuckled, "My lord's current attitude is not important, the important thing is that everyone knows that Yu Jin may surrender."

Jiao Touch pondered for a while, his eyes lit up.

"Brother Zhang means that no matter how the lord behaves, there will be pressure on Yu Jin. Either he will take down Hangu Pass in one go, or he has to avoid suspicion, or he will be in an embarrassing situation before he gets close?"

Zhang Nan slapped his hands, "Exactly. Hehe, Brother Jiao, think again, no matter how powerful he is at banning, how can he take down Hangu Pass in a short time?"

Jiao Touch shook his head, "Hangu Pass is the most powerful pass in the world, and it is not easy to capture this pass."

"That's all right. Yu Jin can't take it down. The longer it drags on, the more it means that he has a problem. Even if there is no problem, who will believe it?"

Jiao Touch pondered for a while, and said with emotion: "I never thought Brother Zhang could think so far."

Zhang Nan waved his hand and said with a chuckle, "It's not difficult, but I can't figure out one thing."

He showed doubts, "My lord said that Hangu Pass will be taken in half a month, I really can't understand it."

"Yeah, it's been five or six days, and Hangu Pass hasn't moved at all. If you want to take it in half a month, you won't have the help of the gods."

Speaking of the gods, the two looked strange.

Although the weapon spirit is powerful, it can only infuriate people and damage the morale of Cao Jun.

But what's the use of breaking through?
"It seems that the lord is not too anxious, and I don't know what the lord thinks."

The two were puzzled, but they were extremely pessimistic about Yuan Xi's half-month plan to break through.

After attacking the city all morning and returning to the camp at noon, Yu Jin didn't expect that there were rumors everywhere that he would join Cao Cao again.

He was so frightened that he broke into cold sweat, "Who wants to frame me?"

Shocked and angry, Yu Jin walked around the tent with his hands behind his back, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

At this time, a young general walked in quickly, "General, I heard the news. It was Zhang Nan who intercepted Cao Jun's secret agent and found a letter addressed to you."

Yu Jin said anxiously: "I have been attacking the city all morning, how can anyone get out of Hangu Pass?"

The young general shook his head, "What's more important is that the content of the letter shows that the general and Cao Jun have been in correspondence for a long time."

Yu Jin's face turned pale.

A group of people also looked at each other in blank dismay, with a heavy heart.

"I don't think it's Zhang Nan who wants to frame the general?" A bearded general said angrily.

"To shut up!"

Yu Jin scolded, "I don't want to hear that in the future."

The bearded man poked his neck and said, "In the first place, this kind of shit happened just after our army attacked Hangu Pass. Who is the ugliest? It's Zhang Nan and the others. They didn't deal with us in the first place."

This time Yu Jin didn't speak, but frowned.

"What should we do now?" Yu Jin looked around at the generals.

A refined young general said: "When something like this happens, even if the Lord trusts the general, there will inevitably be thorns in his heart."

Yu Jin nodded, "Then what should I do?"

"Take off this thorn!"

Inside Yuan Jun's main tent.

"My lord, please see the general."

"Xuan."

Yuan Xi put down his military book, he knew why Yu Jin came here.

Sure enough, when Yu Fang entered the big tent, he knelt down on the ground.

"My lord, please resign at the end."

Yuan Xi walked out from behind the case and helped Yu Jin up: "Wen Ze is because of rumors in the army?"

Yu Jin raised his head and said in panic, "My lord, although I, Yu Jin, was an old general of Cao Jun, I know who the current master is. The last general will never collude with Cao Jun, and the letter has never been sent."

"I believe you." Yuan Xi said with a smile, "Don't think too much about Wen, Shi Yuan said, this is Cao Jun's plan to alienate, don't take it to heart."

"Thank you, my lord, for your trust."

Yu Jin paused, and said again: "However, the last general can't continue fighting in this siege battle. Please send another general, my lord."

Yuan Xi naturally refused, and Yu Jin insisted again and again, saying that he would not continue to lead the attack on the city.

"If you refuse, then you recommend someone."

Yuan Xi thought of a compromise.

Yu Jin shook his head, Yuan Xi insisted on his recommendation, so he had no choice but to say: "I think General Zhang is competent."

"Zhang He?"

Yuan Xilue pondered for a while, "Since that's the case, General Yu should take a rest for a few days and let Zhang He fight for you temporarily."

Yu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped back gratefully.

Yuan Xi shook his head.

He knew that Yu Jin had resigned, but he didn't expect to scare Yu Jin like this.

"Go and call Zhang Yun." Yuan Xi ordered the soldiers.

Soon Zhang He came.

"General Zhang, please sit down."

Although Yuan Xi is optimistic about Zhang He and Gao Lan, he is not too familiar with them.

The two followed him only because he was in charge now.

However, Zhang He and Gao Lan are two generals with equal prestige in Yuan Jun.

Especially since Yan Liang and Wen Chou died in battle.

Zhang He is not tall and thin, giving people a sense of taciturnity.

Yuan Xi asked him to sit down, but he was not polite and knelt down on one side.

"General Zhang, Yu Jin just said that he doesn't want to attack the city, and recommends you to continue to lead the attack, what do you think?"

Zhang He frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "General Yu is a veteran in the battlefield. Although he is an old soldier of Cao Jun, the final general does not believe that he will be a generation of snakes and rats. Please continue to appoint him as a general."

"That's what I told him, but it's a pity that the melon field is under the plum. Yu Jin thinks it's best not to go to the battlefield. I can't force him?"

Zhang He sighed.

"Why did the general sigh?"

Zhang He said: "Hangu Pass is high and thick, the last general doesn't think he can do better than General Yu."

"It's not for you to attack the city," Yuan Xi said with a slight smile, "General Zhang only needs to lure Cao Jun out again and pretend to be defeated."

Zhang He was stunned, "Fake defeat?"

"That's right, Hangu Pass, the Qiangu Pass, is so easy to fight. If you don't use a clever strategy, you will definitely not be able to beat it."

Zhang Yun's heavy brows twitched slightly, "After pretending to be defeated, what is the master's plan to break through?"

Yuan Xi turned around and pointed at the map on the wall with a wooden stick, "Shoot from east to west. My target is Tongguan. I will break through Tongguan first, and then attack Hangu Pass."

Zhang He was trembling all over. As a general in charge of the army, he always felt that Yuan Xi's military order saying that he would break through in half a month was like child's play.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Xi didn't intend to attack Hangu Pass at all, and his target was Tongguan.

Zhang Yun collected his thoughts, and said respectfully, "May I ask what kind of trick my lord has to break through that Tongguan?"

"I don't dare to say the trick, but Cao Hong is reckless by nature. It is much easier to provoke him to fight than to provoke Sima Yi."

Yuan Xi stretched out his hand and gestured: "I'm [-]% sure that Cao Hong will not be able to resist going out. As long as he goes out, I will have a way to break through Tongguan."

Zhang He was slightly silent, Yuan Xi didn't specify the plan, so he still had some doubts.

But compared to the Hangu Pass in front of him, he felt that it was easier to win Tongguan.

It's just that Cao Hong will easily leave the city?

Zhang He put a question mark on this.

in the afternoon.

Yuan Jun changed generals, and Zhang Yun led the attack on the city.

When the news reached Hangu Pass, General Cao Jun was amazed.

"The military master is amazing."

"I never thought that Yuan Jun would fall for it so easily, haha, then Yuan Xi is really a fool."

Sima Yi sat firmly on the side, holding his short beard and smiling without saying a word.

Xia Houyuan said happily: "General Zhang, what is the strategy of the military master?"

"Military Master Sima really has a gully in his heart."

Zhang Ren's voice was neither salty nor weak, making it impossible to see his thoughts.

Xia Houyuan didn't care either. Yuan Jun was changed this time. The big victory last time has fully proved Sima Yi's talent.

After making a noise for a while, Sima Yi coughed lightly.

Seeing everyone's opinion, Sima Yi said softly: "Generals, don't be in a hurry to congratulate. Yuan Jun's advantage is still there, and Cao Jun is always at a disadvantage. You should be careful."

Zhang Rengang changed his views on Sima Yi, and his contempt rose again when he heard the words, but this time he didn't say much.

"However, generals, don't be discouraged. Yuan Jun's army has already been shaken. If our army can defeat him once or twice, we may have a chance to defeat Yuan Jun."

After a pause, "At present, although our army has occasional small victories, the main goal is still to hold on to the city."

"only!"

All Cao Jun responded loudly.

Three days later, Sima Yi was looking at the map.

Xia Houyuan hurried in and said with a smile, "Military Master, you see that Yuan Jun has sent you a letter."

"Oh, what letter?" Sima Yi looked away from the map.

Hearing this, Xia Houyuan opened the letter, read it, laughed and said: "Yuan Jun has not made any progress in the past few days, he must be in a hurry, and wrote a letter to recruit the military division."

Sima Yi took the letter and burned it without reading it.

Xia Houyuan nodded secretly.

Sima Yi said slowly: "Yuan Xi's mentality has been disturbed, and the donkey is at the end of his skills! Our army may look for opportunities to fight, and then demoralize Yuan Jun."

"I always listen to the military adviser, and I can do whatever the military adviser tells me to do."

Xia Houyuan is proud, but before coming this time, Guo Jia and Cao Pi repeatedly urged him to obey Sima Yi's orders.

Xia Houyuan saw Sima Yi's ability and admired him from the bottom of his heart.

Sima Yi looked at the map and made up his mind, "Miao Cai, come here with your ears."

"Sima Yi may have someone sneak up on him tonight."

In Yuan Jun's tent, Yuan Xi called Zhang Yun and Cheng Yu to his side.

"But that was just a small-scale sneak attack by Cao's army, so I ask you to lose this battle. If necessary, you can put some tents and even some food and grass for them to burn. In short, if Cao's army comes, our army will pretend to be defeated. As miserable as it is, the extent of this is controlled by the two of you."

Yuan Xi's eyes were burning, "Let Cao Jun think that our army is vulnerable and defeated by a sneak attack."

Zhang He and Cheng Yu looked at each other, "My lord, are you sure Cao Jun will come?"

Yuan Xi smiled slightly and said: "Nine times out of ten, our army has made no progress in attacking the city recently. If Cao Jun wants to deal a heavy blow to our army, a sneak attack is a very good way."

Looking at the two of them, Yuan Xi continued: "I will leave for Tongguan in a while, and I will leave this place to you two.

Cheng Yu was stunned, "My lord is going to Tongguan?"

"Let General Zhang explain to you later," Yuan Xi said, "After tonight's big defeat, our army will retreat a bit. Whether we can make progress in Tongguan depends on you."

Yuan Xi didn't explain much, and after giving the order, he changed his clothes, took Xu Chu, Zhang Nan, Xu Huang, Guo Tu, Jia Xu, Chun Yuqiong and others, and led 1000 people, quietly set off for Tongguan.

Yuan Jun didn't know that their coach had left here.

A few days later, Yuan Xi successfully joined Gao Lan's army.

And the news that Yuan Jun was defeated by Cao Jun's night attack at Hangu Pass had already spread.

"Lord."

Gao Lan looked very bad. He didn't expect Yuan Jun outside Hangu Pass to be defeated so badly, let alone Yuan Xi sneaking to Tongguan.

"General Gao is exempt."

In the main tent, Yuan Xi cut to the chase: "How is the current situation of Cao Hong in Tongguan City?"

"Not yet out of the city, our army has not fought Cao Jun yet."

He wanted to ask about the situation at Hangu Pass, but it was not good for him to ask a group of civil and military personnel in the tent at this time.

"Get the defense map."

Gao Lan hurriedly asked someone to fetch Yuan Jun's defense plan.

Yuan Xi called Guo Tu, Jia Xu and others over to discuss.

"General Gao, you withdraw the soldiers and horses on the east side from the encirclement, and head west to Hangu Pass for rescue."

Gao Lan's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "My lord, there are 3 Cao troops in Tongguan. Although our army has [-], if we withdraw the [-] people encircled on the east side, I am afraid that we will not be able to form an effective encirclement of Tongguan."

Yuan Xi didn't explain, "I don't care about Tongguan for the time being, and Cao Hong will not leave the city. Xu Huang and Zhang Nan will lead the withdrawal of troops."

Gao Lan's heart sank, he didn't expect that Yuan Xi would seize his military power as soon as he came.

What's more, he didn't expect that Xu Huang, the surrendered general, would be reused.
