Chapter 1009: The Decisive Battle (I)
The book is picked up again.
"How are the brothers' injuries?" In Zhang Yan's mansion, Zhang Yan asked the leader of the guards.
"General Qiqi, most of the people who were slightly injured have been healed, and those who were seriously injured caused serious injuries ......"
Saying this, the face of the head of the guard showed a touch of gloom, "Most of those who were seriously injured have already died!" ”
“……”
"Alas......" Zhang Yan sighed regretfully after being silent for a while.
He knew that there was no way to do it, with their medical conditions, it was already their best to be able to heal those minor injuries, as for those who were seriously injured......
Zhang Yan was actually prepared in her heart.
......After regretting for a while, Zhang Yan let out a long breath, calmed down the grief in his heart, regained his spirit, and asked the leader of the guards, "Can you find the hiding place of Wang Gouzi?" ”
"No" After shaking his head, the head of the guard frowned and said: "In the past few days, we have sent countless scouts, but we can't catch the slightest trace of Wang Gouzi, and he seems to have disappeared into this world out of thin air. ”
"How is this possible!" After Zhang Yan heard this, he frowned and asked, "Didn't Cao Cao from Jizhou send a batch of supplies to me and others a few days ago?"
That batch of materials must have been to fund Wang Gouzi, didn't you find them along the way? ”
"What supplies! But it's all a lie! After the leader of the guards smiled bitterly, he said, "I did rely on that batch of materials to find the clues of Wang Gouzi.
But when they found out about us, they immediately left their supplies behind and fled.
And they were scattered in the process of escaping, not together at all.
Although we waited for a few people, they immediately bit their tongues and killed themselves, and in the end we didn't get any useful news. ”
"That's right......" Zhang Yan touched her chin and nodded.
He didn't blame the head of the guards, because he knew that since Wang Gouzi dared to come out to receive this batch of supplies, it proved that he had a plan to escape, and it was reasonable that the head of the guards could not catch them.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yan suddenly remembered the batch of supplies, and hurriedly asked, "You just said that after you found them, they fled immediately?"
And what about what they have left? Didn't you bring it back? ”
"My subordinate is going to tell the general about this." The leader of the guards said with a distressed face: "After the subordinates intercepted that batch of materials, they opened it and found that the materials were all fakes!"
The food, armor, weapons, etc., are all decorated with sand and twigs, so I can wait for a happy time! ”
"Fake?" After Zhang Yan heard this, her brows furrowed even tighter.
He touched himself
With a stubbled chin, he asked puzzledly: "Do you know whether Cao Cao is a fake, or Wang Gouzi has already received the materials and left a batch of fakes to fool you?" ”
"This ......" After hearing Zhang Yan's inquiry, the leader of the guards frowned and fell into deep thought.
He really didn't expect that!
At first, when he got those fakes, he thought that Cao Cao had deceived Wang Gouzi.
But now that I think about it, it's really possible that Wang Gouzi has secretly received that batch of supplies, and then put some fakes on the bright side to disgust them.
After thinking of this, the head of the guard shook his head and said, "The subordinates don't know what's going on, but the subordinates think it's unlikely that Wang Gouzi will deceive us."
Because this batch of materials has always been under the eyes of our Tanma, and has never disappeared out of thin air.
Therefore, the biggest possibility is that Cao Cao didn't plan to fund Wang Gouzi at all, but just wanted to tease him! ”
"Teasing?" Hearing this, Zhang Yan pondered for a while, and then her pupils shrank, "No, no, no, this is not right!" ”
After saying this, he subconsciously tapped his fingers on the table and muttered: "Cao Cao's original intention is probably not to fund Wang Gouzi, nor to play Wang Gouzi, but to help a certain family!"
No! It can't be said that it is helping, he is not so kind, it should be said that he wants to see a certain family and Wang Gouzi fight to lose! ”
"Hiss......" At this, he suddenly gasped, and his face was full of horror.
"General, what's wrong with you? But what comes to mind? Seeing this, the leader of the guards hurriedly asked.
"A certain family asked you, have you carefully investigated, where did Li Gongzi's materials come from?"
When the leader of the guards heard this, after thinking for a while, he said with a little uncertainty: "The specific location is indeed not found by his subordinates, but he knows that it is probably from the direction of Jizhou......"
After saying this, he suddenly stopped speaking, turned his head suddenly, looked at Zhang Yan with a frightened face and asked, "General, what do you mean... Then Li Gongzi is also Cao Cao's person?! ”
"I'm afraid it's ......" Zhang Yan smiled bitterly and nodded, "A certain family is still planning to unite with other princes to fight against Cao Cao, but I didn't think about it, we haven't done it yet, Cao Cao has already taken the initiative to attack!"
If it weren't for Wang Gouzi's sudden uncontrollability, a certain family would probably have been fighting with Wang Gouzi, who was funded by Cao Cao! ”
"Uh......" The head of the guard didn't understand what Zhang Yan said, and after trying to sort out his thoughts, he asked, "Does the general mean that the person behind Wang Gouzi is Cao Cao?"
But that's not right! If it was Cao Cao, then why did he get this batch of fake materials to fool Wang Gouzi? ”
"Huh! Manly man, who doesn't love power?! Zhang Yan sneered and said, "I haven't been in contact with it before, but . Since he tasted the delicacy of power, how could Wang Gouzi be willing to be someone else's puppet?!
I am afraid that at the beginning, Wang Gouzi was indeed Cao Cao's subordinate.
But since he knew that Cao Cao wanted him to fight with a certain family, he immediately withdrew, planning to turn from light to darkness and come to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”
"I see" After hearing Zhang Yan's words, the head of the guard thoughtfully followed his words and said: "In this way, it makes sense, why did Wang Gouzi immediately turn his face after receiving the materials from that Li Gongzi."
I'm afraid that he kidnapped Li Gongzi not to solicit more supplies, but to get out of Cao Cao's control!
Now it seems that Li Gongzi is indeed Cao Cao's command, and he is probably here to spy on Wang Gouzi. ”
"Alas... That's right! Zhang Yan sighed helplessly, nodded, and said: "After Wang Gouzi rebelled, Cao Cao knew that Wang Gouzi was out of control, so he used a batch of fake materials to lure Wang Gouzi out.
Cao Cao knew that as long as Wang Gouzi showed clues, a certain family would definitely attack immediately.
In this way, Cao Cao's purpose was achieved......"
At this point, he suddenly stopped talking, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he raised his head to look at the leader of the guards, squinted his eyes and asked, "Speaking of which, don't you think it's a little strange that we suddenly discovered the trace of the king dog?"
I waited for so long when I first came and didn't find Wang Gouzi, but a few days ago I suddenly revealed my whereabouts, and even the specific location was exposed to us, don't you think it's all too much of a coincidence? ”
"The general is saying that it was Cao Cao who told me where Wang Gouzi was?!"
After saying this, the face of the head of the guard changed, "In this way, the first person to report this matter is likely to be Cao Cao's spy!" ”
......Although Zhang Yan knew that this guess was likely to be true, he didn't dare to make a decision to deal with the little boss.
Because the power of the small boss is not small, and there are 20,000 or 30,000 people under him.
Now, if the petty boss is disposed of, I am afraid that it will cause a revolt from the army under his command.
If one is not done well, maybe Zhang Yan's army will fall apart!
Therefore, he will not act in advance until he gets the exact evidence.
"Report ......" Just when Zhang Yan was silent, the sound of the guards came from outside.
"Come in! Say! ”
"General Qiyu, an army claiming to be Wang Gouzi's army has come from outside, and it is shouting loudly outside the city!"
"What?!" After hearing the news, Zhang Yan and the leader of the guards looked at each other, and they both saw the stunned in each other's eyes.
They didn't expect that Wang Gouzi would not hide at this time, but came to their city in front of the gong and drum.
