Chapter 655: The Decisive Battle of Yanzhou (4)
Under Juping City, Tai Shi Ci kept attacking Juping City day and night, so as to hide people's eyes. I'm tired enough these days. Seeing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei coming, he was immediately overjoyed.
So he hurriedly handed over to the second general, and then withdrew his soldiers and let them rest for a while. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu led their troops to besiege Juping City. Then he went forward and shouted: "Now Zang Ba has been defeated, and General Xiahou's back road is unstable." If you want to leave early, our army should send the two generals out of the country as a gift. so as not to raise troops in vain and harm innocents. ”
Xiahoudun and Man Zhong looked at each other and smiled bitterly, the Han army was really shameless, and even used such a strategy to attack the heart. Picking out the words in public, what did the soldiers of their own country think when they heard it?
If he didn't agree, he had to fight the Han army in Juping City, but he was afraid that he would not be able to protect Juping. So what should I do? Could it really be that there is only one way to abandon Juping without a fight?
However, if you really abandon Juping, whether you can safely return to Snake Hill on this way, lose Juping, and lose the possibility of completely fighting for Mount Tai, and the situation in Yanzhou will be fully transformed into a defensive position.
After thinking about it, Xiahoudun went to Cheng Yu again, Cheng Yu saw the letter, and couldn't help but sigh: "Yuan Rang is so confused, now my Yanzhou troops are insufficient, even if I hold Juping, it will not help, if Guan and Zhang can ensure the safety of our army, but what if Juping is handed over?" Could it be that today, Yuan Rang still thinks about counterattacking Taishan County? ”
So Cheng Yu sent a letter and told Xiahoudun that he could give up Juping City if Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others would guarantee that Cao Jun would not chase after him after exiting Juping City.
Xiahoudun received the letter and consulted with Manzhong. The two glanced at each other, and it seemed that Cheng Yu also maintained a pessimistic attitude towards the situation in Yanzhou, and he was afraid that this Juping City would not be able to be saved.
So Xiahoudun asked people to send a letter to Hanying, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Tai Shici got Xiahoudun's letter, opened it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. Tai Shi Ci said: "Xiahoudun has always been tough, but this time it is rare to be soft, so why not agree to come down and let him withdraw with peace of mind." ”
Zhang Fei looked at Guan Yu again, Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard, and said with a beautiful smile: "What Ziyi said is very true. Xiahou Yuanrang was a heroic general, and now he was forced by us, so he should not be forced too much. lest it fight back. ”
So Xu Xiahoudun invited him to relieve the siege of Juping, and led the Juping army and civilians to go by Xiahoudun and Manchu Pet. The Han army was a huge peace. The whole territory of Taishan County was returned to the Han Dynasty.
Jieshu went to Qingzhou, Liu Bei sent a letter, and ordered Guan Yu to lead the headquarters south to Xuzhou. He also set up a camp in Yanzhou, so that Zhang Fei was the envoy of Yanzhou, Tai Shici was the deputy recruiter, Ma Chao and Wei Yan were the deputy generals, and they led the three armies together, and Tian Feng was the master of the shogunate, and he praised the military aircraft with the army.
Yanzhou has lost Taishan, most of Jibei and most of Dongjun, and the strategic depth of the Yanzhou army has been greatly reduced. Capture Snake Hill again, Dongping has no danger to defend, and Rencheng can only be relied on by Fan County. In such a situation, what did the Yanzhou army use to stop the Han army?
Xiahoudun and Man Zhong retreated all the way, and the scouts who stayed behind to guard did not encounter the Han army chasing after them, which made the second general immediately breathe a sigh of relief. However, the scout also brought bad news, which made Xiahoudun's mood instantly become very bad again.
The Cao army scouts were on guard in the rear, and no trace of the pursuers was detected, but the messenger of the Han army was captured. On the messenger, they found some letters, and the name of the recipient on the cover forced them to abandon the captives and hurry after Xiahoudun.
After reading the letter, Xiahoudun couldn't help but curse in his heart. He didn't know who he was scolding. Because after reading the letter, he didn't know whether to continue to believe in Yanzhou Wenchen or to doubt them.
For full favor, Xiahoudun still believes it. After all, the two fought side by side and shared weal and woe, so although Man Zhong was also from Shanyang, Xiahoudun still chose to believe him. Of course, perhaps there is no name on the list of these letters, which is the main reason why Xiahoudun is willing to choose to believe in Manzhong.
Cheng Yu, Chen Gong, Dong Zhao, Mao Jue, these people are all regarded by Cao Cao as important advisers. In the Cao Cao Group, they all have an extremely important and pivotal position.
If it was really as described in the letter, they had already colluded with the Han army and Liu Bei, would there be any hope for this Yanzhou? No, not only Yanzhou, but also Yuzhou, Jingzhou, and even Mengde, who is far away in Yizhou, will be in a great crisis.
Xiahoudun was distraught, when it came to such a major matter, he couldn't help but panic. He instantly concluded in his heart that this was fake, and this was a despicable trick played by the Han army to separate Yanzhou's civil and military forces. Hmph, if Liu Bei wants to make a divisive plan, it depends on whether I Xiahou believes it or not.
But another evil thought came to my mind, what if it was true. Even if it is impossible for four people to vote for Liu Bei at the same time, as long as one of them is true, what should be done?
Xiahoudun himself couldn't judge. He had a heavy mind all the way, and when he arrived at Snake Hill, he was not in the mood to appease the army, so he hurriedly talked with Zang Ba, who came to greet him, and then asked Man Chong to settle the army, and then came to the mansion to meet him.
When he arrived at the mansion, Xiahoudun looked at Manzhong and said heavily: "Berning, can I trust you?" ”
Full of favor said: "Why did Yuan Rang say this? ”
Xiahou sighed: "I suspect that there are ghosts in the state. After speaking, a pair of tiger eyes looked full of pets.
When Man Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Yuan Rang knows who it is?" ”
Xiahoudun said: "I don't know, Bo Ning can observe this letter and distinguish it for me!" ”
Then he took out the letter and handed it to Manpet.
Man Zhong knew that this was a letter sent by the scout on the way to withdraw the army, and after reading it on the way, Xiahoudun was distracted and worried. However, Xiahoudun didn't show it to him on the way, and he didn't want to ask. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Snake Hill, Xiahoudun took out the letter.
When Man Pet opened the letter, he couldn't help but be stunned. In the letter, Xun Yu and Mao Yu were talking about family affairs in a familiar tone, and talked about the old things of Chen Liu and Yingchuan. The two counties are next to each other, and they are also half a fellow countryman.
The others in Qingzhou sent letters to Chen Gong, Cheng Yu, and Dong Zhao respectively, and the things they talked about in the letters were all old things from the past and recently, which seemed to be very familiar, and they had been in contact for a long time.
After reading it, Man Pet found that his back couldn't help but sweat coldly, he put the letter on the desk, looked up at Xiahoudun, and said, "Yuan Rang, Qingzhou is a terrible divisive plan." ”
Xiahoudun said: "What is Boning's opinion? ”
Full of favor said: "This must be Qingzhou's divisive plan." Otherwise, why is it too late, not too early, and you will find out when you and I withdraw our troops? If you and I are credulous, Yanzhou will be torn apart and collapse immediately! ”
Xiahoudun listened intently to Manzhong's words, only when the knife and axe hand hidden outside the screen behind him was fake. And Man Chong didn't know that if he saw the letter at all, he was afraid that Xiahoudun would smash the cup as a number, and the left and right knives and axes would rush out and cut him into meat sauce powder.
