Chapter 1595: The Battle of Xuzhou (192)
In the matter of sending troops, it is not that he doesn't want to give in, but that he has done a normal thing, but for Gao Kui, Guan Tong's refusal will never be regarded as an impartial and upright response, but it is not righteous enough and not interesting enough, if he really regards himself as a brother and friend, will he refuse?
Definitely not, even so, why should he stay to be bored, so he simply left and went back to Gaomi to see General Gao Lan, but he will not forget the humiliation he suffered today, and one day, he will definitely get today's humiliation back.
With a few hundred escaped troops, he left Zhuangwu and returned to Gaomi, where he arrived a few days later, walked into the council hall, and met Gaoran.
For his return, Gao Ran didn't seem to have anything abnormal, just said that he was back, but Gao Ran really cared about Gao Kui, their family has been the Gao family for generations, and Gao Kui grew up with him, can Gao Ran not care about his life or death?
Otherwise, he wouldn't have almost killed Jimo with the troops, after knowing that he was safe, the hanging heart was completely down, but his face was ugly at the moment, in fact, it was because of the unhappiness between him and Guan Tong, to be honest, he and his father had some imagination, maybe this is the character trait of their family, they are quiet on weekdays, but they will be extremely sensitive to some things, and if anyone fights for themselves, they will look small.
For this kind of house slave, if the two of them didn't grow up together, Gao Ran would never dare and would not stay by his side, this kind of person said that the good thing is that he is the goods of Shengmi Endou Mi, and if it is not good, he is a Zhongshan wolf, even if he is a little harsh on him, he will hold a grudge, that is, he has not been able to fly Huang Tengda now, otherwise this kind of thing will inevitably happen to him.
"I've heard about the matter between you and Guan Tong, he did nothing wrong in this matter, whether you can think about it or not, this matter is over, understand?" Gao Ran raised his head and stared at him and said.
"Did he tell the general?" Gao Kui is like a cat with its tail stepped on, and it exploded in an instant, changing color and color.
"I also use him to tell me about this, it has already spread all over the city, tell you, now our main target is Liu Lan, don't think about personal grievances, don't mention it!"
"Yes." Gao Ran said this, what else could Gao Kui say, but he wouldn't believe that the news reached Gao Ran's ears, it must be Guan Tong who was making trouble behind his back, thinking viciously in his heart, hating Guan Tong even more hate.
Gao Kui's reaction made Gao Ran more satisfied, of course, even if it was a small hair that grew together, it was not a roundworm in his stomach, and he wouldn't know what he was thinking at the moment, in fact, Gao Ran also hoped that he was the kind of ordinary martial artist, although he was reckless and rude, but at least he was open-minded, but the more he was a house slave under the fence for a long time, the more small-bellied chicken intestines became, and those eunuchs, of course, it doesn't mean that there are no good people among the eunuchs, but this kind of people are more likely to distort in their hearts.
This is also the result of being under the fence for a long time, although Gao Ran has been trying to make Gao Kui have a better environment, but the more good he is, the more he finds that everything seems to be taken for granted, as if he Gao Ran owes him, he should do this.
In the past, his father didn't have a good face for his father, and his father naturally didn't miss the Gao family, so he thought that in another way, he could win people's hearts, but he found that he was naΓ―ve, and there are two sides to any situation.
~~~~~~~~~
Guan Yu led the army to Yan County, and the news shocked Cao Cao of Pei County, although the news was obtained from the scout early in the morning, but now it has been completely confirmed, but it made him really upset.
This situation can almost be seen as Liu Lan telling him in the simplest way that as long as he dares to enter Xuzhou, then he will be desperate to fight you first, and as for Yuan Shao, he will let it go.
This kind of news made Cao Cao have a headache, and he suddenly understood at this moment that Liu Lan transferred Guan Yu before, and it seemed that Yuan Shao was his biggest threat, but he was also telling himself that he didn't want the two families to fight, if he could see Liu Lan's overtures at that time and stop it, then everything would end here, but because of Yuan Shu, he chose to attack Pei County, which made Liu Lan really angry, since you want to fight to the end, then he will fight to the death with you.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao understood that attacking Pei County at this moment was a stabbing of the Worm's Nest, and Liu Lan's reaction made him even more anxious, what should he do now, just stay in Pei County or withdraw to Feng County? Anyway, he will not fight a decisive battle with Liu Lan, and he will not attack Xuzhou City, even if Xuzhou City is taken at that time, what awaits him will be Guan Yu's mountain camp.
From beginning to end, what is the situation that Cao Cao wants to see, doesn't he just want to fish in troubled waters, when did he think about what he was going to do?
In the inner tent, Cao Cao paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his eyes were full of worry, at this moment he had long since lost the spirit when he captured the outer city of Peixian, and the same as the little old man, it looked a little distressing like that, you must know that just a few days ago, whether it was Cao Cao or all the generals, all they wanted was to take Pei County and take Xuzhou City.
Who would have thought that in a few days it would become like this.
But Cao Cao also understands that the reason for all this, to put it bluntly, is because of Yuan Shao, if he can give some strength, how can it be like this? If they are fighting with Liu Lan in Langya now, then he will not say that he is attacking Peixian, even if he takes Xuzhou City, Liu Lan will not be able to do anything, and he still wants to transfer the mountain camp back, wishful thinking.
But with Liu Lan's withdrawal of troops to Yan County, this is the decision to watch Langya and protect Xuzhou, whoever comes first, he will die with Heiyu, to be honest, Yuan Shao may have many soldiers and generals, but he has a thin foundation and can't withstand such consumption. If it's just like this, Cao Cao can evacuate, but the key is that under the current situation, can Cao Cao withdraw?
Anyway, he is also the general of the Sikong Che Cavalry of the Han Dynasty, if he withdraws, he will lose face, although he also retreated because Guan Yu arrived in Pei County before, but it was to retreat as an advance, waiting for a comeback, but now Guan Yu can be in Yan County, if he retreats, he can't explain, and the morale of the soldiers alone is difficult to improve.
So he can only carry it in Pei County now, anyway, judging from Liu Lan's series of responses, he can basically judge that he is waiting for himself to attack Xuzhou City, Xuzhou City is the bottom line, as long as he does not attack Xuzhou City, then Liu Lan will not send the Setshan camp back, so it should be safe to stay in Pei County now, since this is the case, then you can wait to see the development of the situation, if Yuan and Liu fight, then his opportunity will come, and then he will take Pei County and then drive straight to take Xuzhou City, After that, while seizing the entire city of Xuzhou, he cooperated with Yuan Shao to defeat the Setshan camp.
Just as he was thinking about this bold plan in his heart, Guo Jia's voice sounded outside the tent: "Lord? The lowly Guo Jia asked to see him. β
"Come in." Cao Cao said that he transferred out of the inner tent, personally welcomed him into the inner tent, up and down inside and outside the Cao army, and there were many people who were received by Cao Cao in the outer account, but there were only a handful of people who could enter his inner tent with Cao Cao, even if it was the relatives of the Cao family, they might not have such an opportunity.
After letting him into the inner tent, Cao Cao motioned for him to sit down and said, "Is there anything wrong, Fengxiao?" β
"There's something important to report."
Cao Cao glanced at him: "Say it!" What's up? β
"Beizhi has just received information that the main force of the Jizhou Army has entered Donglai County, and Gao Ran has only arrived in Gaomi and Chengyang when he goes south, and he has no intention of attacking Langya, so he ......"
"So Yuan Shao really can't be trusted!" Cao Cao was furious, Wen Chou went to Donglai, what does Donglai have, isn't it the Houqian bandit army, as for using sixty or seventy thousand main forces to suppress the bandits? What is this, killing chickens with a knife? Can't figure it out, can't figure it out, the text is ugly and reckless, what about Gao Lan? Why didn't Yuan Shao stop him? β
"I heard that it seems that Zhang Fei also entered Donglai with the Xuzhou army." Guo Jia said trivially, but this news is just going viral, and there is no accurate news yet, so it is impossible to determine.
Cao Cao's squinted eyes instantly widened, and he asked urgently: "Is the source reliable, Zhang Fei really went to Donglai, how many people are there?" β
"This matter is just news, but the source is not sure, and the lowly official is confirming this matter." Guo Jia said softly.
"It shouldn't be fake." Guo Jia nodded silently and said, "If it weren't for Zhang Fei, just the Houqian bandit army, would Wen Chou lead the main force to chase after Donglai?" So this matter should be reliable, at most it is a question of whether it is Zhang Fei, but even if it is not Zhang Fei, it must be a pivotal figure under Liu Lan's account, otherwise Wen Chou would not have taken a large army to Donglai, what do you say? β
Guo Jia looked completely unconscious, patted his forehead, and suddenly realized, as if he had been awakened by Cao Cao's words.
I have to say that Guo Jia's performance, no one will notice that he is acting at all, it is completely a kind of true feelings, Cao Cao is excited at the moment, and naturally he is very useful to Guo Jia's untraceable sycophancy: "Fengxiao, you said that if Zhang Fei is eliminated by Wen Chou in Donglai, then it won't be long before the Jizhou army will go south." β
"Not bad."
"Haha, Liu Lan really lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot, since this is the case, I can sleep soundly tonight."
"What the lord said is good." Guo Jia saw Cao Cao so excited, and naturally laughed with him, of course, the most important thing is that the current situation is becoming more and more favorable to them, in fact, this time the battle of Xuzhou, Guo Jia was fully supported at first, but with the development of the situation, he hoped that Cao Cao could collect his troops, and he was not very optimistic about the situation of the battle of Xuzhou, because they had lost their dominant position, completely depending on the faces of others, such a battle, the variables were too great.
