Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Xia Houyuan didn't know that his Wei cavalry were in a worse situation than the tiger and leopard cavalry.The light cavalry of Liang Jun who spread to both sides had already clashed with the war cavalry of Wei Jun for several rounds.Liang Jun Qingqi Feiyu, who is good at riding and archery, opened his bow and arrows at a long distance.It's a pity that these Wei Jun general cavalry did not have the fine armor to protect people and horses like the tiger and leopard cavalry, and they were knocked down in pieces by the random arrows.

Under the command of the general, these Wei cavalry were divided into several groups and intercepted from several directions, trying to block Liang Jun Qingqi.Unexpectedly, these Liang Junqing cavalry rode their horses up the gentle slope of the mound, and easily interspersed between several Wei cavalry. .

After such a long time, Wei Qi collapsed, and he no longer dared to approach Liang Jun Qingqi, but took off the cavalry bow and crossbow from a distance to shoot at Liang Jun Qingqi.It's just that their horse riding and shooting are not in the same order of magnitude as Qingqi Feiyu, and the casualties still continue.In the end, Wei's chivalry collapsed. When Qingqi Feiyu put away his bow and charged with a saber, they rushed out of the "valley".

Qingqi Feiyu didn't pursue them either, but turned around and charged at the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry who were still fighting fiercely with Liang Jun's heavy cavalry and the longbow chariot.

At this time, the tiger and leopard riders are struggling to support.Xia Houyuan saw that the reinforcements he was looking forward to did not come, but the opponent's did, and his mind was in turmoil.He pulled his horse and wanted to run away, but was stopped by Xu Rong who rushed up.Obviously, Xu Rong cannot be Xia Houyuan's opponent in a single fight.But a good man is hard to beat with four punches, and Xu Rong has several Liang Jun heavy cavalry attacking Xia Houyuan together.After a few rounds, Xia Houyuan couldn't hold on.If it weren't for his two personal guards who rushed to guard him desperately, they would have almost died under the guns and sticks.Drenched in blood, he feigned a shot, forced a heavy cavalry blocking in front, and rushed out.After the two cavalry guards died, they let him break out of the encirclement.

The distraught Xia Houyuan didn't even have time to gather the remnants of the soldiers, so he rode his horse away into the distance and disappeared behind the mound.Xu Rong pulled out the saber from the corpse of a tiger and leopard rider, watched Xia Houyuan's back disappear from the horizon, and said regretfully: "What a pity! What a pity! I ran away from the enemy general."

When Xu Rong's Ministry cleaned up and drove away the remaining Wei soldiers and regrouped, the main force of the Wei army had long since disappeared.Xu Rong quickly ordered: "Send scouts quickly to the northeast to check the position of the main force of the Wei army! Let's continue to pursue the northeast."

One of his lieutenants immediately persuaded: "General! Our troops have just gone through a fierce battle. The soldiers are exhausted, and there are still a large number of wounded who need to be taken care of. It is not appropriate to pursue the enemy now! I don't know if the enemy is still there. Will lay an ambush like here."

Xu Rong glanced around twice, seeing the corpses everywhere, the wounded soldiers, the horses that lost their masters, and the faces of his own soldiers were also full of tiredness, and he suddenly woke up.In the case of the enemy laying an ambush in advance, he was killed instead, such a result is brilliant enough.And he knew in his heart that he won this battle by luck. If Xia Houyuan didn't fight ordinary cavalry against light cavalry and flying feathers, and tiger and leopard cavalry against heavy cavalry and longbow chariots, but vice versa, the outcome would be unpredictable.

Xu Rong said in a deep voice: "A certain military order, the whole army chooses a favorable terrain, rests where it is, and waits for the main force of our army to join up immediately!"

……

Just as Xu Rong was fighting Xiahou Yuan fiercely, Cao Cao continued to lead tens of thousands of Wei troops on the wilderness in the northeast of Nanyang.After a long time, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no soldiers came up to report that the rear army was attacked.

Unexpectedly, just when he was relieved, a scout came galloping from the former army.From a distance, he shouted: "Report! Our army's forward scouts have found traces of enemy cavalry, and the enemy cavalry brigade seems to be right ahead!"

Cao Cao was taken aback by this news. He immediately thought of the news brought by the scouts when they retreated from Wancheng—the Liang army's cavalry troops broke away from the main force and went straight in the direction of Fangcheng. They didn't intend to attack Fangcheng. , It is to intercept the return of Wei Jun.

Cao Cao asked sharply: "How many troops are there on the other side? Did you find our scouts? How did you encounter them? Tell me all the details!"

The soldier immediately replied: "The opponent doesn't have many troops. It seems that they are also scouts with hounds and falcons. Our scouts saw them from a distance. The opponent should not have noticed our scouts. Because our scouts said that the opponent There are many people but there is no response. If they really find our people, they should come after them immediately."

Cao Cao immediately scolded after hearing this: "A bunch of idiots! They just want to use our scouts to lead the way and find the whereabouts of the main force of our army! That's why they didn't start fighting. Otherwise, you can find them. They have dogs and eagles. won't be able to find you?"

Cao Cao paused for a moment, and immediately said: "The whole army stops advancing immediately, and turns around to advance in the direction of Luyang!" Following Cao Cao's military order, tens of thousands of troops that stretched for nearly ten miles stopped one after another.Even if such a huge troop is turned in one direction, it will take some time. It is not like ordinary people walking, and they can be turned at an angle on the spot.It is necessary to issue general orders to the ministries and redeploy the duties of the ministries in the retreat.

At this time, Xu Huang came to Cao Cao and reminded him: "Your Majesty, I have a message..." Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "What time is it? There is no need for red tape, just speak up if you have something to say."

Only then did Xu Huang remonstrate: "Your Majesty, there are enemy cavalry appearing in front of us. Our soldiers come to cover them with water and soil. Why do we turn around and head towards Luyang? This Luyang is a mountainous area. Although it is good for avoiding enemy cavalry attacks, our own The road is also difficult. To reach the city of Luyang, we have to cross the [-]-mile-wide Funiu Mountain. What's more, there are not many defenders in Luyang, and there is not much food and grass..."

Cao Cao frowned and interrupted him: "How can I not know this, but look, can our army still compete with Feng Yu's tiger and wolf cavalry?" Cao Cao pointed to the tired faces not far away. Sorry, desperate soldiers.

Then Cao Cao said: "Besides, I don't necessarily want to go to Luyang. We adapt to the situation. If there is a chance, we may bypass the Liang army cavalry in front and return to Fangcheng successfully."

Chapter 624

Funiu Mountain, which is more than [-] miles long and [-] miles wide, is an extension of the end of the Qinling Mountains extending eastward, and its northern foot is where Luyang is located.At this time, a huge army appeared on the Nanyang Plain connected to its southern foot-the army of Wei State led by Cao Cao himself.

Zhang He, who was beside Cao Cao, pointed to the towering and majestic peaks in the distance and said, "Your Majesty, Funiu Mountain is ahead. Are we really going to cross the hundred-mile-wide Funiu Mountain? If a small group of people is no problem, but such a large army Even if there is no interference from the enemy troops, even if there is no interference from the enemy, I am afraid that many people will be lost and lost."

Cao Cao said indifferently: "I know this well, but if we follow the original route, no matter how we avoid detours, we will inevitably be blocked by Liang Jun's chariots on the plain. Their four-hooved horses and chariot wheels are comparable to our infantry. The two legs are much faster, not to mention that they have elite scouts and launch lights and other detective weapons. Suppose we set up camp in place and wait for reinforcements from Fangcheng and Heping's direction. Do you think we can defend this camp? Knowing that Liang Jun is best at attacking fortifications, they can break through cities like Wancheng and Huyang in an instant, how can the camps we hastily set up in a short time be able to defeat them?"

Zhang Yun hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise, you have considered far more carefully than I do. I will order the soldiers to prepare for crossing mountains and mountains."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "We don't need to be in such a hurry to enter the mountain. Because we still have the possibility to bypass the interception of Liang Jun's chariots along the southern foot of Funiu Mountain. You only need to send two scouts. All the way along the southern foot of Funiu Mountain Detour to Fangcheng at the foot of the mountain to see if there is any sign of Liang Jun. If there is no sign, come back to report and ask Guo Jia in Fangcheng to send some troops to reinforce. The other way is to enter Funiu Mountain to find out the easy way. Get ready!"

"I obey the order. However, it will take a day or two for the scouts to enter the mountain to find out the way or to go around to Fangcheng. Do we need to camp in place?"

Cao Cao was deep in thought, when Xu Huang next to him said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I think it is not appropriate to set up camp in the same place. Such a continuous camp is easy to be discovered by Liang Jun's scouts. Moreover, it takes a lot of energy to build a camp. A lot of manpower and material resources. If the Liang army comes to attack, it is not easy to defend. Only seven or eight miles away, there is a small abandoned city called Zhicheng. This city is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Defend by the city. If the enemy army is large, we can also retreat to the Funiu Mountain behind the city. It is perfect for the army to store up here."

Cao Cao said decisively: "Gongming is absolutely right. Our army will guard Zhicheng. After the two scouts find out the situation, we will make a decision!"

Half an hour later, Wei Jun drove into Zhicheng, a small city that had been abandoned for a long time.Not to mention the smallness of the juvenile city, there are still broken houses and tiles in the city, and the ground is full of ruins. It is impossible for tens of thousands of troops to be stationed in the city.Cao Cao ordered people to set up two camps on the hillside close to Zhicheng, one east and one west.Two camps and one city are the horns of each other.The two scouts had already rushed away, going their separate ways.

……

In the Funiu Mountain, several Wei army scouts were cursing and chopping bushes and thorns with machetes, looking for a passable path.Funiu Mountain was originally a path formed by a number of merchants and hunters.But now is winter, not the season for merchants and hunters to go out and walk.Such paths are covered under weeds and shrubs, and you need to search carefully to find them.

"Damn, why is my luck so bad today? Hundreds of people drew lots, and I got it!" One of them was still muttering unwillingly.

"Hey, who told us that we are from the mountains of Jinju? If we weren't from the mountains, we wouldn't be able to draw this lottery to do this hard work. You, don't complain. How to say, it's better than putting It's a good job to put your head on your belt. If we do it well, maybe we can get a first-class military merit..."

The person who answered the sentence exclaimed before he finished speaking: "What a beast!...Ah!".A huge black figure jumped up and bit his ankle in one bite, making him let out a heart-piercing scream.The companions next to him were stunned for a long time before they realized it. After a closer look, it turned out to be a big dog.The bitten person also woke up from the severe pain, swung the machete in his hand and slashed at the big dog, but an extra arrow popped out of his head.

"The enemy is in ambush! The enemy is attacking!" One person was the first to react and yelled heart-piercingly.As soon as the words fell, he was also shot in the chest by an arrow, and fell to the ground with a scream.

Up to now, the enemy who was in the dark has not shown up.Who among the remaining three shouted: "Run!".They turned around and ran along the way they came.With a bark, the mountain dog rushed up again, bit one of the calf of one of them, and forced him to fall to the ground.At this time, two figures jumped out from the bushes, one of them bent his bow and set an arrow, shot out quickly, and hit another Wei Jun scout in the vest.

Of the two, one was guarding the prisoner who was bitten by a dog, and the other was chasing the last Wei soldier.After chasing for a distance of more than a hundred steps, Wei Bing, who was fleeing in front of him, sank and disappeared.He chased forward a few more steps, only to find that there was a cliff blocking the front, and under the cliff was a deep stream.

These two were naturally Liang Jun's mountain scouts.They were not separated from the main force by Feng Yu. At this time, Feng Yu's main force was still resting and deploying defenses near Wancheng, so it was impossible to send scouts so far away.

Before Feng Yu went south from Dankou, he sent more than a thousand mountain scouts.They are two of them.These more than a thousand scouts set off from Shang County, Shangluo County, Danshui Waterway, crossed mountains and ridges, trekked two to three hundred miles into the Funiu Mountains, and then divided into groups of two to five people, divided into hundreds of groups, to guard the Wei army in the mountains. trend.Feng Yu told them that if they found a small group of Wei Jun crossing Funiu Mountain, they would kill them immediately.If a large number of Wei troops marched through the mountains and mountains, more than a thousand people would gather, and while continuing to harass, they would quickly deliver the information to Liang Jun in Nanyang.

……

In Zhicheng, Cao Cao waited in anxiety for more than 20 hours.During this period, he didn't even get a good night's sleep, not because he didn't have time, but because he couldn't fall asleep.The two scouts hadn't returned to report the news for a long time, which made him even more uneasy.

Cao Cao sat in the dilapidated temple, pondering --- how is it impossible for Liang Jun to appear on the two roads at the same time, especially the one that enters the mountain, how could Liang Jun set up an ambush in the desolate Funiu Mountain.What's worse is that the scouts who entered the mountain encountered other dangers or lost their way.As for the one going to Fangcheng, it is possible to run into Liang Jun's rangers, so they can only resign themselves to their fate.

Just as he was comforting himself, a guard officer ran in with a panicked expression.

Chapter 625 Trapped in Zhicheng City

Just as he was comforting himself, a guard officer ran in panicked and said, "My lord, the scouts we sent to explore the mountain have returned..."

Cao Cao was overjoyed and said, "Oh? What's the result of their investigation? Are there any roads in the mountains that are suitable for the army?"

"Holy...Holy Majesty, only one person came back with injuries all over his body. According to him, there are Liang Jun ambushing in the mountains!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he was like a thunderbolt: "What! Why did Liang Jun appear in Funiu Mountain? Could it be that they invaded Luoyang from Tongguan and took down Luyang?"

"This... this little one doesn't know!"

Cao Cao waved to the leader of the personal guard in a disturbed manner, "Of course you don't know, quickly call the generals to discuss countermeasures."

After a while, all the generals and ministers arrived.They had already heard the news, and they started talking about it.Xu Huang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we need to know the details before we can make a decision. Let the scout come here to report the situation in person."

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and said, "Naturally, I have sent someone to bring him!" After finishing speaking, Cao Cao clapped his hands, and several personal guards led the scout into the hall.Everyone saw that this person was already a little mentally disturbed and in a state of unconsciousness.

"Here you will report the situation you encountered in the mountain to the Holy One one by one. There must be no omissions or false words. Otherwise, it will not be a lie to report the military situation, but it will be punished as a crime of deceiving the emperor. This is very difficult. The great crime of the three clans." Xu Huang confessed to this person.

The scout completely lost his previous vigor and muttered: "The little ones don't dare... The little ones don't dare." Then, he slurred the matter from beginning to end again, and his words had already changed. A little incoherent.After some cross-examination by the generals, the whole thing was finally understood.

Xu You rolled his eyes a few times and asked, "That is to say, you didn't see how many of them there are?"

"No... I didn't see it clearly, but they have... a lot of people, and dogs."

"I didn't see clearly, how do you know that there are many of them?"

"Because, because our people all died at once. There are not many people, how can we kill four of us at once? And when the little one was fleeing, he heard many footsteps behind him."

The people asked a few more questions, Cao Cao saw that he could not ask any more questions, so he asked the man to retreat, and then asked the generals: "My dear friends, Liang Bing unexpectedly appeared in Funiu Mountain, is there anyone else?" The scouts who went to Fangcheng along the foot of Funiu Mountain to investigate and dispatch troops have not returned. What do you think?"

Xu You cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, that soldier was overly frightened and in a trance just now. I think that what he said about Liang Jun's strength is just his own imagination. First, since the other party is carrying hounds, it is very likely that they are Liang Jun's scouts. It is impossible for the scout troops to have a large number of people. Second, Funiu Mountain is hundreds of miles away, so how do we manage the logistics and supplies of this large number of people?

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly turned sharp and he said: "But have you ever thought about the possibility that the Liang army has captured Luoyang and went south to Luyang, and this is the possibility of Liang soldiers from Luyang?"

Cao Cao's words made the generals who were whispering immediately blown up.If Cao Cao's conjecture is true, then not only the battle in Nanyang, but the entire Wei State is in jeopardy!If the Liang army really conquered Luoyang and Luyang, not only would Cao Cao and the tens of thousands of troops be trapped here, but they would also go straight from Luoyang along the Yellow River to Yuzhou and Hebei. .

Zhang He suddenly came out and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this situation is absolutely impossible. If the Liang army really leaves Tongguan, attacks Luoyang, and takes Luyang. Even if these cities are only garrisoned by soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, it will take at least five or six days. At this time, the news of the enemy's situation should have been transmitted long ago. And our army left Wancheng only the day before yesterday. When we retreated and left, there was no such urgent military situation. Besides, Hongnong, which borders Tongguan, has the number of my great Wei Thousands of elite cavalry, more than a dozen good generals guarding. How can Liang Jun just let it go?"

When Cao Cao heard it, he found it very reasonable, and he was relieved a lot. He couldn't help but praise: "Zhang He, Zhang He, I used to only think of you as a brave warrior. I didn't expect you to have such a strategic judgment. I underestimated you. ,Hahaha."

The rest of the generals showed more or less envious or even jealous eyes when they heard Cao Cao's praise of Zhang Yun.

Zhang He himself did not change much, and continued to speak calmly: "But even so...Your Majesty, we can't retreat to Luyang over the Funiu Mountain as originally planned. Even if the enemy's strength is only a few thousand, or even more than a thousand People, but they set up an ambush early in this mountain and prepared for it, which will inevitably cause great damage to our army. No one knows what they have prepared for us on that extremely dangerous mountain path."

The rest of the generals also quite agreed with Zhang He's words, and expressed their agreement one after another.Cao Cao himself nodded and said: "That's true, but what I can't figure out is, how could Feng Yu be so predictable? Could it be that he has spies in our army?"

When Cao Cao said this, his eyes became sharper, and he swept across everyone's faces one by one.At this moment, everyone present tensed up, and their faces turned pale.Cao Cao suddenly laughed again and said: "Of course this is impossible. The army turned around and suddenly retreated northward from Funiu Mountain to Luyang. .So I wonder, how did Feng Yu's brain grow?"

In fact, Feng Yu didn't expect Cao Cao to make such a move. He even made the decision to encircle the main force of the Wei army on three sides after he captured Wancheng and Cao Cao's army came to help him.He only sent a large number of mountain scouts to block Funiu Mountain because of his emphasis on mountain warfare and strategic regional division and control.In addition to Funiu Mountain, he also sent orders to the Jiangxia garrison, and also sent mountain scouts to Tongbai Mountain in the south.

Xu You said to Cao Cao: "Your Majesty, let's not worry about what Feng Yu thinks now. Since we are not going to go to Funiu Mountain now, let's go back to Fangcheng along the foot of Funiu Mountain."

But Xu Huang said: "But the scouts who went to investigate haven't come back yet." Xu Huang reminded everyone that there was still a scout who hadn't returned.

At this time, another soldier stepped forward to report in a panic: "Your Majesty, something is wrong. There are a large number of war cavalry and chariots in the east of Zhicheng! They are coming towards Zhicheng at lightning speed!"

Cao Cao opened his mouth wide in shock, and it took him a long time to realize that the enemy cavalry troops had finally caught him.He was just about to order the entire army to withdraw to the south.To the west and north of Zhicheng are Funiu Mountains, so they can only retreat to the south.But at this time, another soldier came to report, and boundless Liang Jun banners and troops appeared on the horizon in the south of Zhicheng.

Chapter 626 Not a Greedy Person

Childish city, in the ruined temple lobby.Cao Cao and the other generals were so silent that they could hear a needle drop on the ground.Everyone realized that tens of thousands of Wei troops had been besieged in a semi-open mountain depression centered on Zhicheng, with only mountains to the west and north.

It was Xu Huang who was the first to break the silence, and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, now that we are surrounded, let's have a decisive battle with Liang Jun to break out of the siege. It's not like we don't have a chance to win this battle."

Cao Cao opened his slightly closed eyes, smiled wryly and said, "If it's a decisive battle, of course we have a chance of winning, but this chance is less than [-]%. If there is even a [-]% chance of winning, I should have fought with Liang Jun when I was in Wancheng. It's a decisive battle."

Xu You also expressed his suggestion at this time: "Your Majesty, a certain person thinks that our army can only stick to Zhicheng at this time, relying on the city wall of Zhicheng and the shape of the nearby mountains, and then send people to go around the beam from Funiu Mountain. Surrounded by the army, go to Fangcheng for emergency help."

Cao Cao said helplessly: "That's the best thing to do. Pass on my military order, and the whole army seized the time to reinforce the camps on the hillsides on both sides and the defenses of Zhicheng City. In addition, send people to Fangcheng to report the news. Remember to send a few more batches , Make sure that at least one group of people can deliver the letterhead!"

……

Just when Wei Jun seized a little bit of time, he was struggling to heighten and widen the city defense fortifications.The main force of Feng Yu's Liang army and the chariot division led by Tai Shici arrived outside Zhicheng.

After the two armies joined forces, they quickly deployed their defenses.Liang Jun's infantry set up a huge camp on both sides of the southeast of Zhicheng, and their chariots and horses roamed around.And Liang Jun is still digging trenches, building fences, blocking Zhicheng and its west gate, and the Wei army barracks on the two hillsides outside the north gate.At this time, although Liang Jun could not be said to be able to surround Zhicheng and the two Wei army camps tightly, it was impossible for hundreds of soldiers and horses to slip away.

……

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Feng Yu is discussing the military situation with the generals.A Captain Habayashi came in and kowtowed to Feng Yu: "My Majesty, when our army was patrolling in the nearby mountains and forests, we found these people acting suspiciously. They were arrested and interrogated. At first they claimed to be ordinary hunters nearby, but After a few words of questioning, they revealed their flaws. After a rigorous trial, they admitted that they were Wei Jun's spy scouts. This time, they are going to Fangcheng to report the news."

Tai Shici, who was also in the tent of the Chinese Army, said, "Your Majesty, the scouts of our department also captured several Wei Army scouts the day before yesterday. They were trying to detour along the foothills of Funiu Mountain to report to Fangcheng. I heard the news. Afterwards, just now, they came to Zhicheng with their chariots and cavalry to intercept the Wei army. Unexpectedly, they still didn't give up, and they were still dreaming of Fangcheng's help."

Feng Yu laughed and said, "Cao Cao is looking forward to Fangcheng's help, so why not I?"

Everyone could understand Feng Yu's meaning, but Zhao Yun said with a little worry: "Your Majesty wants to use Cao Cao as a bait to encircle and wipe out more Wei troops? But although our army has tens of thousands of horses, it is not very powerful compared to Wei Jun." Great advantage. If the Wei army really came to help in a big way, I am afraid that the situation will be reversed. Moreover, I heard that Guo Jia, the great sacrificial wine of the Wei State, is sitting in Fangcheng. This man is resourceful and has no plans left. Cao Jun was in Guandu, and he relied on this person to defeat Yuan Shaojun. The minister thought that it would be a huge gain if he seized the time to annihilate the besieged Wei Jun. If Cao Cao can be captured and killed again, it will be a brilliant result. There is no need to We are delaying here to annihilate more Wei troops, after all, there are many dreams in the night."

Feng Yu nodded slightly and said: "Zilong's words are indeed good. But I'm also sure that the Wei army will not have too many troops to rescue Cao Cao. And that Guo Jia, I don't think there is such a thing as a so-called complete calculation in this world." In fact, there are no gods in this world. When there may be multiple results for one thing, no matter how you calculate it, it is nothing more than calculating the probability of each result, and it is impossible to accurately predict the result. Otherwise, wouldn’t you be a god? The so-called exhaustive strategy is nothing more than a tight intelligence network plus a certain inference ability. So this Guo Jia, we don’t need to scare him.”

At this time, Dian Wei grinned, smiled and said bluntly: "My lord, you said earlier that the Wei army would not have too many troops to help, but why did you say later that no one in this world can count on everything. Your Majesty ...This..." When he finished speaking, he found that everyone was staring at him directly, so he couldn't continue.

Feng Yu smiled instead of anger: "When did Dian Wei become fond of using his brain? It is true that although I am the Son of Heaven, I do not have any magic spells. In fact, the reason why I am sure that Wei Jun will not have any How many reinforcements came because I also have Chen Tiao’s tight spy network. Previously, according to the Tang newspaper given by Chen Tiao, I already knew that there were at most 20 to 50 regular soldiers in the Wei army, and about [-] auxiliary soldiers. .

These auxiliary soldiers need to assume the responsibility of guarding the states and counties of the great Wei State, as well as the responsibility of transporting grain and grass.Unless Wei Guo is in a hurry to jump over the wall and wants to kill the net, otherwise he will not send them to the battlefield.And now, apart from the [-] soldiers of the Wei army surrounded by us, there are nearly [-] soldiers in Fangcheng and Ping's.The rest are distributed in Hongnong and the east bank of Pengze Lake, beware of our army going out from Tongguan and Yuzhang east.

And I just sent a letter to Zhang Liao Feige, the commander of the North Route Army in Tongguan. According to the agreement, he should have left Tongguan in two or three days.Therefore, no matter it is Hongnong's Wei army soldiers and horses, they cannot be transferred.If Wei Jun dispatched troops from Jiangdong or Beiping and Liaodong for at least ten days and a half months, it would definitely be too late.Therefore, they cannot mobilize a large number of troops in a short period of time.

Last but not least, I am not a greedy person, how could I have to stay next to each other for a long time in order to eat more soldiers and horses of the opponent.My real goal is Fangcheng.This is an important town for the Wei army, and it will take a considerable price to capture it if it is attacked by force.But if we can lure out most of the soldiers and horses and wipe them out, our army can easily capture them. Wouldn't it be great? "

All the generals in the tent suddenly realized what Feng Yu said, and they all praised in unison, and then retreated amidst the sound of Shan Hu Long live to thank them, and prepared separately.

……

In Fangcheng, two hundred miles away, thirteen or fourteen-year-old Cao Chong knelt in front of Guo Jia and said, "Master, I beg you to quickly send troops to rescue the student's father!".Guo Jia sat aside, closed his eyes and meditated silently.

It turned out that Xia Houyuan fled to Fangcheng just last night.After Guo Jia listened to his narration, he counted the time with his fingers.Xia Houyuan, who was thinking about the end, ran back, but why didn't Cao Cao's main force arrive?A guess can tell that Cao Cao probably turned his direction to avoid the intercepted Liang Jun chariots.

When he immediately sent people to search and respond, he only found the trace of Liang Jun's cavalry chariot, but did not search for Cao Cao's main force.Next, several scouts sent by Cao Cao finally broke through the blockade and fled to Fangcheng.

Chapter 627

Guo Jia and Cao Chong were shocked when they learned that Cao Cao was trapped in Zhicheng.But now Fangcheng only has [-] cavalry garrisoned, so it's like a drop in the bucket with this little force to rescue the siege.What's more, Fangcheng is going to rush to an important town. After mobilizing troops, who will guard Fangcheng?After Guo Jiasi thought about it, he only dispatched troops from the nearest Hongnong.

Just when Guo Jia was about to send fast horses and light cavalry to Hongnong to transfer troops.However, a commanding soldier hurried into the hall and reported loudly: "Reporting for the great sacrifice wine, Hongnong's military situation is urgent, Liang Jun suddenly rushed out of Tongguan, and stormed Hongnong! Hongnong's defenders are struggling with Liang's army. The guards Zhang Yan asks for reinforcements!"

Guo Jia was greatly shocked by this news. He stood up suddenly and shouted: "Hongnong? Since Liang Jun has invested [-] to [-] troops in Nanyang, how many troops can Tongguan have? He can fight heavily." The guard Hongnong is in a hurry? This is impossible, impossible, it must be Zhang Yan's ineffectiveness in fighting!"

Cao Chong was surprised by Guo Jia's rare gaffe, and was speechless for a moment.Standing aside, Xu Zhu who had fled back to Fangcheng earlier, Xia Houyuan had never seen Guo Jia like this before, and they were all secretly surprised.

It's no wonder Guo Jia is like this. First of all, he didn't know that Liang Jun's soldiers had reached [-], so he was naturally puzzled by why Liang Jun had so many soldiers.Secondly, Hongnong's strategic position is too important. Once Hongnong is lost, the hinterland of Wei State without soldiers and generals will be flat.The whole Guozuo Sheji was in jeopardy, which made him startled.Because of this, it is absolutely impossible for Hongnong's defenders to be transferred again.

But Cao Cao wanted to be rescued no matter what, but the memberships of the other two heavily guarded places---Youbeiping and Pengze's west bank were too far away, and they couldn't quench their thirst.This time, Guo Jia, who claims to be a perfect planner, has nothing to do for a while.With hands behind their backs, he paced back and forth.

At this time, Xia Houyuan suggested: "For the great wine sacrifice, how about asking someone to take five thousand cavalry to King Qin, and then let the defenders stationed in Pingshi County divide their troops to come to Fangcheng?"

Guo Jia nodded and said: "There are too many loopholes in this strategy, but there is no other way. Let's follow this strategy, but with a slight modification, it is necessary to send soldiers with talismans to transfer from Jiangdong and Beiping at the same time. Soldiers come. Because Fangcheng's small strength cannot break the siege, it can only help the Holy Master to hold Zhicheng for a while longer. Only when Jiangdong soldiers come can the siege be resolved. In addition, a certain person personally led the troops to meet the Holy Lord. You are here to guard Fangcheng. You must see the Holy One in person before you can rest assured!"

At this time, Cao Chong also shouted: "Master, Cang Shu is going to see his father, please ask Master to take Cang Shu with him."

Guo Jia persuaded: "Your Highness, this trip is extremely dangerous. I think His Highness should stay in Fangcheng."

Unexpectedly, Cao Chong fell to his knees with a thud, and said: "Master's words are wrong. It is the most dangerous to keep Cang Shu in Fangcheng. But returning to the father's side, even the worst situation is not as bad as staying in Fangcheng." Fangcheng."

Xu Zhu said from the side: "Young prince's words are not good. Although there are few defenders in Fangcheng, the defenders in Pingshi County will immediately send reinforcements here after receiving the letter. Of course, the strength is not too many, but Fang The city is an important town that our Great Wei has operated for a long time, and the city defense structure can be described as impenetrable. It is far more difficult for the Liang army to break through this town than... far more difficult than annihilating our Wei army in the wilderness!"

Unexpectedly, Cao Chong raised his eyebrows and said, "That's not what I meant. Master dispatched troops to Pingshi County, and it must be Cang Shu's elder brother Cao Pi who led the troops. Just imagine that if someone stayed in the city, the father would be as safe as the master expected. After returning home, of course everything is fine, but if things don’t go as master expected, master, please think about what will happen to X? Can Bi X follow his master to rescue his father, but failed, and was captured and killed by Liang Jun after the defeat Is it better?"

After hearing Cao Chong's words, not to mention Xu Zhu, Xia Houyuan, even Guo Jia was amazed. They didn't expect Cao Chong to have such a mind at such an age.In fact, Cao Chong has read history Wanjuan, and knows allusions about court brothers fighting each other for the throne from the Warring States Period to the end of Han Dynasty, Hu Hai punishing Su Fusu and so on.In addition, he and Cao Pi did not have a good relationship on weekdays. At this time, they would naturally have such thoughts.
