Chapter 1120: Huang Zhong's head is big
Zhao Yun, who felt that he had been on a thief ship, was useless if he wanted to regret it now, who called him his own ambition to make great contributions.
The army advanced quickly and reached the city of Lisin with lightning speed. The garrison in Lixin City only had a few hundred people, and Zhao Yun and Pang Tong only used one wave of attacks to break through Lixin City. In order to avoid leaking the news, Pang Tong immediately took the initiative and killed all the hundreds of Cao troops in Lixin City.
Although it is a little cruel, it plays a role in killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.
The troops of Cao Jun, who were incorporated into Liu's army, were frightened by Pang Tong's ruthlessness. If they dare to have two hearts, I am afraid that they will become the ghosts of Pang Tong's sword.
Pang Tong looks a little weak, but his style of action is not hesitant at all. Just like the hundreds of Cao troops who killed Lixin City this time, in order to train the courage of the newly joined Cao army, they actually let the soldiers who surrendered to handle the sword.
Using Cao Cao's soldiers to kill Cao Cao's soldiers is really a bit vicious. Even Zhao Yun, a general, felt that this was a bit excessive.
Viciousness is a bit of a thing, but it has a very effective effect. Pang Tong saw that these newly joined Cao Jun troops had a different spirit than before, and seemed to have something in common with Liu Jun. Moreover, after seeing that the soldiers of the Liu Army had killed the Cao army in Lixin City, they also regarded them as their own.
After such a round of tossing, Pang Tong and Zhao Yun's forces became more stable and united.
After the city of Lixin was taken, Pang Tong arranged a few hundred people to garrison here, and the army continued to march towards Mengcheng.
Pang Tong was smoothly implementing his plan, but Ruyin City seemed a little quiet.
The heavy rain has stopped, which is very good news for Liu Jun, and the temperature is relatively cool tonight.
Since Huang Zhong was camped outside Ruyin City, Cao Cao of Ruyin City could not sleep peacefully.
I thought it would rain for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be just a shower.
Cao Cao couldn't help but be disappointed. In his calculations, as long as the heavy rain continued and Li Dian blocked the upper reaches of the Ci River, he would be able to quickly accumulate water and achieve the effect of flooding Liu Jun. Then Cao Cao can sit in Ruyin City and watch Liu Jun play happily in the water. It's a pity that it's not yet the moment when Cao Cao is very happy.
People are not as good as heaven, Cao Cao can only endure temporarily, once Li Dian launches, the balance of victory will be tilted in Cao Cao's favor.
"Lord, it's late at night, go to sleep, just leave it to me here." Guo Jia did not rest, and kept following Cao Cao on the side.
Guo Jia knew that if Cao Cao was too tired, then the head stroke would attack. This is a ticking time bomb, and once Cao Cao falls ill at a critical moment, then Cao's army, which has lost its backbone, will become very chaotic. Cao Cao's heir, Cao Ang, has now been arranged by Cao Cao to Huainan, and if Cao Cao falls ill, there is no Cao Ang to replace Cao Cao as the backbone of Cao Cao's army.
Xu Huang and Xu Chu were also by Cao Cao's side, and they also hoped that Cao Cao could rest early.
"I can't sleep alone." Cao Cao knew that Guo Jia was concerned about him, but in the current situation, he really couldn't sleep.
Xu Huang was also worried about Cao Cao's body, but Cao Cao didn't want to sleep, and he and Guo Jia didn't have any way.
Cao Cao smiled indifferently, still staring intently at Liu Jun's camp outside the city.
The honest Xu Chu usually has few words, but this time he couldn't help it, and said directly: "Lord, what can you see when you look here?" If you had a solution, you would have seen it long ago, and there was no need to waste time. ”
Cao Cao turned to look at Xu Chu in surprise. Xu Chu is honest and honest, and he usually treats Cao Cao to the point that he will not go east if he asks him to go west, but today he suddenly questioned him, which made Cao Cao very strange.
"Zhong Kang! Don't be rude! Guo Jia scolded Xu Chu loudly.
Cao Cao's majesty in Cao's army cannot be offended, and Guo Jia will never allow anyone to violate this taboo, even if Xu Chu is Cao Cao's personal bodyguard.
Cao Cao didn't think so, he liked the words of an honest person like Xu Chu, which stopped Guo Jia's scolding.
Guo Jia stepped aside and used practical actions to show his absolute obedience to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao said with interest: "Lone is very curious, why did you say so much today, Zhongkang?" ”
"Lord, I used to follow the lord, and the lord treated everything calmly, even if Liu Yu personally fought against the lord, the lord didn't have any fear. But recently, the lord is worried and sad, and I really can't figure it out. Is Huang Zhong better than Liu Yu? A Huang Zhong makes the lord so jealous, if Liu Yu comes over in person, how should the lord deal with himself? Lord, you are our backbone, and if you are tired, we will be distressed, and Huang Zhong outside the city will be happy. This kind of thing of relatives hurting enemies is happy, the lord is wise and martial, why do you insist so much? What's more, the lord has been watching it for so long, and he can see what he wants to see. There's no need to waste time, it's better to eat more and take a good rest. The meal I prepared for my lord, you haven't eaten it until now, my lord, it's cold. ”
At first, Cao Cao was shocked by Xu Chu's words, and Xu Chu, who had no culture, could say so many truths, which really made Cao Cao happy. But Xu Chu's last words made Cao Cao stunned. But this is how Xu Chu cares about Cao Cao.
simply cared about Cao Cao from eating and resting, which warmed Cao Cao's heart, which was a little tired physically and mentally.
Guo Jia looked at Xu Chu and Cao Cao with bright eyes, and he could see from Cao Cao's eyes that Cao Cao had been persuaded by Xu Chu.
"I didn't expect Zhongkang to have such a ability, it's really rare." Guo Jia secretly praised in his heart.
Sure enough, Cao Cao was persuaded by Xu Chu and said, "Zhongkang is right!" Even Liu Yu is not afraid, what is Huang Zhong calculating. Gu also felt hungry, where was the meal prepared by Zhong Kang, Gu wanted to eat a good meal. ”
Xu Chu said happily: "How can I let the lord eat cold." The soldiers have long been allowed to heat up. Wait a minute, my lord. ”
Cao Cao shook his head and laughed, Xu Chu was very clever.
Xu Huang and Guo Jia were relaxed, Cao Cao was willing to go back to rest now, only by maintaining a good rest, Cao Cao's body would not be in any mess, and the possibility of Cao Jun holding Ruyin became very large.
Liu Jun's camp in front of Ruyin City.
It was the middle of the night, and there were only a few lights in the camp, and there were only a few soldiers patrolling and guarding.
From the outside, Liu Jun's entire army was resting.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Huang Zhong, Jia Xu, Lu Bu, Ma Chao and others did not rest.
Jia Xu called everyone over tonight because he had a way to break through Ruyin City. Everyone was thinking about how to break through Ruyin City all the time, and now that Jia Xu had a way, they didn't even sleep, and quickly came to the big tent of the Chinese army.
When Jia Xu said his solution, except for Ma Chao who believed it, everyone else was puzzled.
"Wenhe, do you think that method is really feasible?" Huang Zhong was very puzzled by what Jia Xu said.
"Don't dare to speak falsely! Meng Qi should have a deep understanding. Jia Xu said.
Everyone looked at Ma Chao, Ma Chao knew what they meant, and said, "It's feasible, but looking at the situation in Ruyin City, it is estimated that it will take a little time." ”
"It can be done well!" Lu Bu said with a big grin.
Huang Zhong is still a little worried, Jia Xu's strategy is very simple and deadly, but with Cao Cao in Ruyin City, I'm afraid this success rate is still a bit low.
The others saw that Huang Zhong was a little suspicious, and they didn't dare to speak out. Huang Zhong is the manager, and now is the time to wait for him to make a decision.
Huang Zhong suddenly asked, "Is there any movement on Zhong Da and Kong Ming's side?" ”
Since Huang Zhong arranged the war, Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang's troops don't seem to have made much action. This made Huang Zhong not know what the two of them were doing.
"There is no news yet, but the old man thinks that Zhong Da and Kong Ming are probably planning something together, otherwise, the two of them will not have no movement for so long." Jia Xu was resourceful and quickly thought of the ideas of Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang.
Huang Zhong closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Then follow Wenhe's plan, Fengxian and Meng Qi, the two of you will each bring 10,000 soldiers and horses now, take turns to attack, don't let Cao Cao have a peaceful sleep." ”
"Yes!" Lu Bu and Ma quickly received the order.
"The Great General is really insidious. I heard that Cao Cao has a head wind, this disease needs a good rest, if the constant harassment, Cao Cao's body is not well rested, once the head wind disease is committed, it will be a great benefit to our army. The black-hearted Jia Xu analyzed Huang Zhong's order according to his own ideas.
Huang Zhong didn't expect Jia Xu to think so darkly about himself.
The rest of the people went back to rest, and their task was to rest well and wait until tomorrow morning to launch an attack on Ruyin City.
Huang Zhong couldn't sleep a little.
When Jia Xu was about to leave, Huang Zhong stopped him.
"General, is there anything going on?" Jia Xu couldn't figure out why Huang Zhong wanted to stop him, could he still have any concerns?
Huang Zhong took out a piece of parchment, sighed and said, "Wenhe, look at this." ”
Jia Xu took it and looked at it suspiciously, and after reading it, his eyes popped out.
"General, Your Majesty actually sneaked out?" Jia Xu trembled a little, he heard that Liu Yu was dishonest, but he didn't expect that there would be such an outrageous move, and he secretly ran to Yuzhou to come over without telling all the courtiers, isn't this looking for guilt?
"Yes, I just received a report from the Luoyang Military Aircraft Department, Chen Gongtai and they are all dying now. The old man really doesn't understand why His Majesty is like this? Huang Zhong felt that his head was very big, if it weren't for the fact that his hair was all white, he thought that his hair would be even whiter tomorrow.
Of course Jia Xu knew why, didn't he believe Huang Zhong and them, and wanted to rescue Liu Xie first.
"General, Your Majesty and the one in the Shouchun Palace are siblings, and I guess I don't feel at ease with us people." Jia Xu said directly.
"Don't worry. But as courtiers, how can we let there be unstable factors in His Majesty's country. Your Majesty knows very well what we courtiers are thinking. Huang Zhong said a truthful sentence.
Huang Zhong promised Liu Yuhui to save Liu Xie's life, but he was a general and the highest military rank in the Han Dynasty, and for a person like Liu Xie who would cause instability in the Han Dynasty, Huang Zhong would send someone to kill him without even thinking about it.
violated Liu Yu's holy decree, Huang Zhong had no choice but to apologize with death. In Huang Zhong's eyes, even if his whole family died, it was not as important as the stability of the big man.
Jia Xu didn't hear Huang Zhong's words. If these words reach Liu Yu's ears, it is estimated that Huang Zhong's position as a general will be achieved.
However, Jia Xu is now the first time to see Huang Zhong's true character, and he is a person with them.
Not in his position, not in his politics. Huang Zhong is a general, he is responsible for the Han Dynasty and Liu Yu, and he will never let Liu Yu mess around.
"Hey, the most important thing now is how to find Your Majesty. Now that the war is in chaos, if something that we dare not say happens, we will be sinners of the Han Dynasty. Huang Zhong was as heartbroken as Chen Gong and the others who knew that Liu Yu had sneaked out, and he was about to cry.
Jia Xu understands what Huang Zhong is worried about, this Liu Yu is really a bit excessive, if he wants to come out, he can use his own emperor majesty to implement it, but he just wants to maintain his image as a Ming Jun, and he also did the trick of sneaking away, causing so much trouble to his courtiers, this is simply, this is simply too much in line with Jia Xu's appetite.
"Don't worry, the general said, the intelligence said that Your Majesty did not come out alone, and there were elite people such as Lord Li to follow. Lord Li's ability and lowly duties are recognized, and His Majesty's safety is not to be worried. Jia Xu comforted Huang Zhong.
"Wenhe, you have the highest intelligence, can you think of a way to find out Your Majesty?" For the first time, Huang Zhong felt the mood of Chen Gong and the others in Jingzhou before, and now nothing was more important than Liu Yu's safety.
Jia Xu thought of where Liu Yu might be, so he said, "General, it is estimated that Your Majesty is already in Shouchun City now." ”
"Shouchun City?" Huang Zhong felt that if Liu Yu was in Shouchun City, it would be better, at least it would be safe.
The safest place is the most dangerous place, Jia Xu is not wrong in thinking.
Li Gui is good at lurking, and Jia Xu guesses that Liu Yu and Li Gui must have concealed their identities and hid somewhere in Luoyang City.
"It seems that Ben is going to send a force to Shouchun, so I must find Your Majesty." Huang Zhong made a decision.
Jia Xu didn't dare to say anything, this is good, he sent a force to Shouchun, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi must also have arrangements, plus Huang Zhong also sent a force here, so it will be lively.
Jia Xu didn't know that Pang Tong and Zhao Yun were going to Shouchun with more than 20,000 soldiers and horses. If Jia Xu knew this, what would his face become?
