Chapter 389: Yuan Liu's War (19)
Zhang He's troops have basically been disabled, Cao Cao has also lost thousands of people, after returning to the camp, Cao Cao's heart is full of anger, it is almost a little, but in the end it falls short. If it weren't for the two generals who guarded the Son of Heaven's side, who led the army to block his attack, the Son of Heaven would have been in his camp.
Now, Cao Cao thought that if he failed to hit with one blow this time, Zhang Fei would definitely be more vigilant, so it was better to retreat and watch his movements. After thinking for a while, Cao Cao had a plan in his heart, so he called Xiahou Yuan and asked him to lead a group of men and horses to go to Juxian County.
After Xiahou Yuan led the army away, Cao Cao also planned to leave. Before leaving, he invited Zhang He and asked, "Jun Yi, I want to go to the border of the state to attack Zhang Fei again, do you want to go with you?" ”
Zhang He fought a big battle last night, lost his troops, and the commander of Ganling also died in the chaos, the most important thing is that he finally knew why Zhang Fei was mixed with Zhang Xiu, Lu Bu and others, and also knew the goal of Cao Cao. The Son of Heaven in Chang'an is in Zhang Feijun! Such an important matter, Cao Cao actually hid it from him. Zhang He was shocked and angry, and after the war, Zhang He immediately sent a flying horse to the north and reported to the lord Yuan Shao. At this time, he just needs to sit on the boundary bridge and wait for Yuan Shao's reaction. Do you want to help Cao Shi again, and help him rob the Son of Heaven to Yanzhou?
Zhang He shook his head and said: "Cao Gong, there are many dead and wounded under my command, and the sergeants are tired of fighting. ”
Zhang He wants to leave, and Cao Cao can't force him to stay. It's just that there is no one to share the firepower for himself, and Cao Cao regrets it in his heart. In Zhang Fei's camp, the Son of Heaven summoned Gao Shun and Xu Huang to comfort and commend them. Last night, arrows flew in the air, and people downstairs were rolling. If it weren't for Gao Shun and Xu Huang desperately resisting Cao Cao, what would have happened is unimaginable.
After a few more days, Cao Cao and Zhang He retreated. Zhang Fei understood and left. Keep going. Zhang Xiu came to find Zhang Fei and said: "Yide, Cao Cao is full of tricks, although he retreats, there may be changes ahead, and he can't be guarded against." ”
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "General Zhang, relax your mind, my Qingzhou reinforcements are coming soon." Hearing that there was help, Zhang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, for such a big matter, how could Liu Xuande not have a backhand.
However, it is said that since Zhang Fei sent troops, Liu Bei has been dealing with the war in the north on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is monitoring the military strength of Wei County through meticulous work at any time. Seeing that Zhang Fei entered Wei County, and the Jieqiao and Wei County defenders were not alarmed, Liu Bei relaxed a little. It seems that Wei Jun's side should be short of strength, so he threw a mouse bogey, and did not dare to fight against Zhang Fei. As a result, as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he received a report that there was an abnormal movement in Yanzhou, and the army was massively assembled in the direction of Jizhou.
Liu Bei's retribution, he instantly understood in his heart that it must be Cao Cao who knew that Zhang Fei was going to meet him. Cao Cao gathered an army for only one purpose, which was to rob the Son of Heaven and return to Yanzhou.
Liu Bei didn't dare to slack off, so he let the sailors swim up and down the river and persecute Yanzhou; While speeding up Tai Shi Ci to answer. Considering that Zhang Fei has Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, Duan Xuan and other new forces on his side, as well as Jia Xu and Xun You, two strategists, and now he has sent Tai Shici to answer it, if such a camp is robbed by Cao Cao, it will really be a hell.
At this time, Zhang Fei was discussing the route back to Qingzhou with Jia Xu and Xun You. There are two roads, one is to go to Lingxian County into Qingzhou. The second is to go to Qingzhou County. The distance to Ling County is short, but it is also close to Yanzhou. Lingxian County is actually on the border of the three prefectures of Hebei, Yan and Qingdao. It is a little farther to go to Juan County, but it is very close to the plain county seat of Qingzhou.
Originally, there was nothing to discuss, and it had been decided to go to the plains before. But now the spies in front have come to report, saying that around Juan County, flags are planted everywhere, and as far as the eye can see, it is Cao Jun. This makes Zhang Fei imprudent. After the Battle of Beiqiu, Zhang He already knew that Luan, the son of Chang'an, was in his army, and now his report was probably placed on Yuan Shao's desk. If it is blocked by Cao Cao's army again, and wait for Yuan Shao to return to the division, it will be over.
Qingzhou is close at hand, and Zhang Fei is not afraid that he will be helpless, what he is afraid of is that Yuan Shao will put Chang'an Tianzi to death regardless of it. If Yuan Shao really had such thoughts, it was really hard to say whether he could save the life of the Son of Heaven. Anything can happen on the battlefield. The big war is together, and no one can take care of anyone. I heard that when the Son of Heaven was in Guanzhong, the generals were fighting, and the Son of Heaven stayed in the wilderness, so he spent some days of eating and drinking......
Jia Xu was there to discuss with Xun You non-stop, and Jia Xu said: "Cao Cao is resourceful, and he must be bluffing to deceive me in Juxian County." ”
Xun Yu said: "I mean that Cao Cao must be able to know that we can see through his plan, since this is the case, we will do the opposite." ”
Jia Xu said again: "Since Cao Cao can know that we can see through it, how can he not guess that we want to do the opposite?" ”
Zhang Fei was on the side, listening to them arguing, his head was big. What Jia Xu and Xun You mean is that Cao Cao must be using a plan in Juxian County, and the fanfare there must be a false soldier who wants to force us to go to Ling County. But Cao Cao is not an ordinary person, he should know that we can guess that Juan County is a virtual soldier, so it is expected that we will go the opposite way and go to Juxian instead of Ling County, so he should really have ambush soldiers in Juxian County. However, Cao Cao should also be able to guess that we will know that he is an ambush in Juxian County, so we will change to Ling County. So his real ambush should be in Ling County. So we still have to go to Juanxian......
It's really scary for this reader to open his mind. Especially two smart people in the world. Zhang Fei was confused by them. Zhang Fei asked directly: "Jia Gong, Gongda, where did our army return to Benzhou from?" ”
Jia Xu and Xun You said in unison, and said firmly: "Yan County! ”
Zhang Fei looked depressed, I listened to you discuss for a long time, and the final result was still Juan County, what else is there to discuss? After hearing this, Zhang Fei sent out scouts and flew to Qingzhou to inform the reinforcements to meet in Juan County.
When Tai Shici arrived at the border, he also found out that there was an abnormality in Juan County, and soon received an envoy from Zhang Fei, saying that he wanted to go to Juan County. Tai Shici was surprised in his heart, there was obviously an ambush in Juan County, why did he still have to go to Juan County? Tai Shici didn't dare to slack off, so he flew to Qingzhou. Liu Bei saw it, and he was also confused. Although he believed in the judgment of Jia Xu and Xun You, he was afraid that he would lose, so for the sake of insurance, he adjusted Yan Yan to lead his troops to guard the plain, echoing Tai Shici.
Tai Shi Ci led the water division, crossed the big river, entered Luoshui, and followed Luoshui to Liaocheng in Yanzhou, and saw that Cao Cao had not returned to the division. knew that Cao Cao was the idea of fighting the Son of Heaven wholeheartedly. So he returned to the division and directly led his troops to the border of Juan County to wait for Zhang Fei.
Cao Cao's ambush was indeed in Ling County. However, a few days after arriving in Lingxian County, Cao Cao had to report that the Qingzhou sailors were crisscrossing Luoshui and the Yellow River, and then retreated again and disappeared. Then Cao Cao suddenly woke up, and if he was going to suffer, Zhang Fei's army was afraid that he would leave Juan County. His plan was discovered.
So he raised his army and went back to Juxian County.
