Jagged Huaxiong

So Zhao Fu was tied up by Qu Yi in a daze, and Zhao Fu's hundreds of cavalrymen glanced at Qu Yi and then quickly looked away, not daring to make any moves at all, only Zhao Fu kept on "Mmmmm! Mmmmm..."

Soon, thousands of cowardly Xue troops from behind rushed over. When Qu Yi saw it, he simply dropped his weapons and led his subordinate soldiers to surrender to Subotai, just like his five thousand soldiers who attacked Huguan before. The men and horses were the same, and the battle of Huguan finally ended with the complete annihilation of the Jizhou army.

As night falls, Anyi

After Xu Huang left, Hedong was handed over to Zhang Xiu. At this time, Zhang Xiu was standing on the tower of Anyi city, looking at the night outside the city.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiu blinked, and saw some special black spots appeared in the dark night.

Zhang Xiu stared at the black dots and ran towards them. Gradually, those black dots stopped in place. Zhang Xiu ordered to the left and right:

"Let the scouts go over there to see what's going on over there."

"promise."

A soldier on the city tower picked up a torch and waved it twice in a certain direction outside the city, then stopped, and the scouts lurking outside Anyi immediately patrolled in the direction indicated by the torch just now.

Zhang Xiu ordered people to step up their guard and wait for the scout to report, but as time passed, none of the scouts patrolling outside the city came to report.

According to the usual practice in the army, the order to patrol in a specific direction was issued on the tower just now. After the scouts outside the city patrolled, even if they found nothing, they had to come back and report to the tower. But after so long, there is still no sign of the scouts. It can only explain one situation: the patrolling scout had an accident, and there were more than one of them.

After a long time, Zhang Xiu ordered behind him: "Send a team of light cavalry from the city to have a look."

"promise."

The gate of Anyi City opened, and a group of cavalry originally belonging to Niu Fu galloped out of the city and ran towards the direction outside the city.

After a while, the pair of Qingqi came back and reported to the city gate: "General Qi, there is no abnormality found there."

Zhang Xiu frowned, could it be that she had an illusion?

Zhang Xiu immediately asked the leading cavalryman, "Have you ever seen the scouts outside the city?"

The cavalryman said, "I haven't seen it."

Although Zhang Xiu had doubts in his heart, he couldn't remember what the problem was, so he immediately ordered the city gate to be opened and let the Qingqi team enter the city.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Xiu went down from the city tower and returned to his residence to rest. At this time, the night wind was blowing, and the cavalry in the city came to the city gate that Zhang Xiu had just inspected on foot. He got up, the knife in his hand was shining, and the cold was rising.

That night, Chang'an, the General's Mansion

"My lord, urgent report from the east of the river!"

Hua Xiong's voice sounded from inside the door:

"Say."

Yan Zheng said anxiously: "Before Niu Fu's cavalry rebelled and opened the city gate from inside the city, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses have already entered Anyi!"

Once Anyi was lost, the [-] troops under Xu Rong completely lost contact with Chang'an, and even Xu Rong's army rations were lost.

Chapter 271 Di Qing Ghost Army

......

silence.

It can be said that Hedong is a very important strategic point for Hua Xiong, but upon hearing such news, according to Yan Zheng's prediction, Hua Xiong should rush out of the door at this time, and then asked himself sharply:

"what?!"

But the scene that Yan Zheng imagined that Hua Xiong would slam the door did not appear. After a while, Hua Xiong said: "I see, let Jia Xu and Li Ru come over earlier at dawn."

Yan Zheng was full of doubts, and bowed in response:

"Yes."

Early the next morning, Jia Xu, Li Ru, and Zhang Ji arrived at the General's Mansion early. When they arrived, they were going to the backyard to look for Hua Xiong, but the servants of the mansion told them that Hua Xiong was already there. Waiting in the meeting room in the front yard, the three of them thanked the servant, then turned and went to the meeting room in the front yard.

At this time, Hua Xiong was sitting at the head of the conference hall, Yan Zheng was standing behind him, and a simple map was spread on the ground in front of him.

After the three of Jia Xu came in and saluted Hua Xiong, they each sat under Hua Xiong's head, and none of them showed any panic during the whole process.

Seeing that the three of them had arrived, Hua Xiong asked, "Anyi is in a hurry, Cao Cao did a good job, what do you guys think?"

Li Ru was the first to ask, "Master, do you have the latest information?"

Hua Xiong: "Zhang Xiu led his troops to retreat to half of the city, and the two sides are fighting in the city."

Li Ru lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said: "My lord, according to Ru's opinion, there should be no problem in this town."

Hua Xiong: "Why?"

Li Ru smiled slightly and said: "Cao Cao's territory is Yanzhou. He actually ran so far to Hedong. If he really wants to take down Hedong, he will just give up Yanzhou to others. Cao Cao is not stupid. Never do something so stupid."

Hua Xiong nodded, motioning for Li Ru to continue.

Li Ru picked up the two cakes on the table, put one of them on the east side of the map in the middle of the conference room, and said, "The reason why Cao Cao came to harass Anyi is probably because he wants this place."

As he said that, Li Ru placed another piece of pastry in another place on the map. Everyone saw that it was the place of Shangdang.

Shangdang is different from Hedong, which is far away from Yanzhou. There is a Yellow River between the southeast of Shangdang and Yanzhou. If Cao Cao took Shangdang, it would be equivalent to opening the door to the north of the Yellow River. I went to the party.

Hua Xiong looked at it, and thought that Xu Huang was sitting in the party at this time, and said:

"If it's Shangdang, then it's nothing to worry about. Gongming has the style of Zhou Yafu, so he definitely won't fall into Cao Cao's strategy of enclosing points and attacking aid. Besides, even if it is to rescue Hedong, there is no need for Gongming to go. We send troops from Chang'an. It’s not much slower than Gongming passing from Shangdang.”

Li Ru said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that Cao Mengde wants to occupy between Hedong and Shangdang, cut off our connection with General Xu Huang, and then slowly eat away at the [-] troops we just entered Bingzhou."

Yan Zheng behind Hua Xiong was suddenly puzzled and said:

"Cao Cao has only tens of thousands of troops, even if they are all brought over, they may not be able to defeat General Xu Huang. What's more, he is still sending troops to Hedong right now?"

At this time, Jia Xu, who had kept his eyes closed, said, "Cao Cao alone can't do it, but we obviously underestimated the series of reactions that the lord sent troops to the party before."

Yan Zheng asked, "Mr. Wen He, what do you mean by that?"

Jia Xu turned his head and glanced at the young youngster Zhang Ji beside him. Zhang Ji immediately understood that Jia Xu was being lazy again. Zhang Ji looked at Hua Xiong, then arched his hands and said:

"My lord's army is mighty. If the former soldiers join the Shangdang, the princes from all walks of life north of the Yellow River will be afraid. Back then, they could attack the prime minister after the eighteenth route, and now they can naturally attack the general with the six princes."

Hua Xiong stroked his chin and said in a deep voice, "Six routes, Zhang Yang in Taiyuan, Han Fu in Jizhou, Cao Cao in Yanzhou, Yuan Shao in Bohai, Gongsun Zan in Beiping, which other route is there?"

Li Ru opened his mouth and said, "And that Black Mountain Army Chu Feiyan!"

Hua Xiong nodded and said: "In that case, then I will first send people out of Sili, enter Chenliu, set up defenses along the Yellow River, cut off the retreat of the Cao army in Hedong, and then order people to enter Hedong, first relieve the prestige of Anyi, and then destroy them." Cao Jun along the way from Hedong to Shangdang!"

Li Ru and Zhang both nodded, but Jia Xu stared at the map in a daze and didn't speak for a while.
