Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 394
Zhao Yun carefully brushed the hair of the horse in front of him with a brush, and then, together with his personal guards, covered the horse with a layer of fine linen, and then a layer of special iron armor.

The horse was a little restless, with steam coming out of its nose, digging the soil with its kick, the horse's head shook from side to side, Zhao Yun stretched out his hand to hold the bridle, and the horse gradually calmed down.

In tomorrow's battle, Zhao Yun will not only be assigned to the side army, but also be responsible for blocking the opponent's retreat route.

And no one helped him.

Although Cao Cao and Bai Bo's army made a strategy to lure the enemy into the city, Ju Shou privately doubted the success rate of this strategy.

Li Jue and Guo Si are not stupid, can they enter the city stupidly?

But the matter has come to this point, Ju Shou can only tell Zhao Yun to be careful in everything, there is no precedent for stabbing his allies on the battlefield, not to mention the temptation he is facing is to monopolize the emperor.

In the year since the Tianzi motorcade left Chang'an, how many bloody storms have occurred around the fight for the control of the Tianzi?

In another place in the city, Yang Feng, Han Xian, and Hu Cai of the Baibo army got together to discuss how to deal with the Liangzhou army.

Yang Feng's face was gloomy, "This trick to lure the enemy is too weird, we have to be careful tomorrow."

"I suspect that Cao Cao and Lu Bu are trying to take advantage of this opportunity against us."

After hearing this, Han Xian said disapprovingly: "They are the former army and the middle army. We are in the rear army, so what danger is there?"

"It's a big deal to close the city gate and let them fight outside the city."

"Didn't they just want to kill Li Jue and Guo Si and make a great contribution?"

"Let them do their best. We have already occupied the position of General of the Quartet. Even if we don't make any achievements in this battle, it will not affect us."

Hu Cai said with a smile: "The general's plan is very clever. As long as we control the emperor, whatever plan they use will be useless."

"It's a pity that Li Le couldn't turn his head around to defend against the Southern Huns, which caused us to lose a big arm."

Han Xian still felt uneasy, and said, "It's best to be careful, among other things, at least there is Dong Cheng's power in the city, and our family is not the only one."

Han Xian's eyes flashed, "Then why don't we take advantage of Cao Cao and Lv Bu to go out of the city and lead our troops to kill Dong Cheng?"

Hu Cai immediately praised: "This plan is very clever!"

He turned to Yang Feng, "General, do it!"

Yang Feng thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, this will give Cao Cao and Lu Bu an excuse."

"If we let them catch this excuse, they will definitely join forces to deal with us."

After hearing this, Han Xian thought for a while and said, "How about this?"

"When we lure the enemy into the city, we can let the Xiliang army in, and then close the city gate, forcing them to attack the emperor's chariot."

"At this time, we took the opportunity to send people to fish in troubled waters and kill Dong Cheng!"

"Just push it to the Liangzhou army afterwards!"

"As for the Cao Jun and Lu Bu Jun outside the city, let them fight to the death with the Liangzhou Army!"

Yang Feng listened, nodded and said: "This plan is feasible!"

The three of them had already decided on a plan, and when they parted, Yang Feng specially warned: "My general Xu Huang, like Li Le, can't get his head around. Don't let this matter out to him. I will transfer him away from the emperor's side. lest something bad happen."

Han Xianhu listened, nodded and left separately.

In the evening, Cao Cao's camp in the city, everyone has arrived.

Counselor Xun You, general Cao Ren Xia Houyuan, cavalry Cao Hong Cao Chun, and infantry are happy to advance.

Everyone is full of fighting spirit, because after tomorrow, Cao Jun will clear all obstacles and become the biggest force around the emperor!

Xun You said slowly: "Tomorrow's battle, I will thank you generals."

"I'm talking about the plan."

"The strategy of leading the army into the city is just a cover, it doesn't matter whether Li Jue and Guo Si are fooled or not."

"Our ultimate goal is to defeat the Liangzhou army, let them know that there is nothing to do, and return to Liangzhou."

"As for defeating them or not, it doesn't matter."

"For this purpose, the infantry must withstand the impact of the Liangzhou army and create opportunities for the cavalry to attack Li Jue and Guo Si's main formation."

Cao Hong, Cao Chun and Le Jin listened to Yu Jin, clasped their fists at the same time and said, "Take orders!"

Xun You continued: "But on the other hand, our real goal is the Baibo army in the city!"

"The Baibo Army has plotted against the law. They want to lure the Liangzhou Army into the city and take the opportunity to cut off Dong Cheng's forces."

"What the two generals in the city have to do is to control the situation and deal with the Baibo army. If they can't kill them, they must hold them back."

After hearing this, Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan clasped their fists together and said, "Take orders!"

Xun You said: "When the former army repelled the Liangzhou army, they immediately turned back to the city and wiped out the Baibo army in one fell swoop, leaving no one behind!"

"Then quickly drive back to Xu County with the emperor's car!"

"Of course, there may be many forces obstructing the way, but as long as the emperor is welcomed to Xu County, no matter how many people are worth it!"

When all the generals heard this, they clasped their fists together and said, "It turns out that I died for Duke Ming!"

Cao Ren said: "The general is a little worried. It is absolutely impossible for the Lu Bu Youzhou Allied Forces to ignore us. If they lead troops to attack, we will be attacked by the enemy."

Xun You nodded and said, "It is indeed possible."

"So he has been placed in the army outside the city in advance."

"When the two sides fight, he will definitely not be able to bear it and find someone to fight one-on-one. When he reacts, the overall situation in the city will be settled."

Xia Houyuan said: "And that Zhao Yun..."

Xun You said decisively: "It has been arranged. Let Cao Hong keep an eye on him. If he dares to return to the city, he must be stopped."

Cao Hong listened, nodded and smiled, "It's just right, I want to see who is stronger, me or him!"

It was the first time Cao Cao said: "You are not as good as him."

"It's a pity, if he is used by me, things will go much smoother this time."

Xun You shook his head and said, "I've come into contact with him many times these days, but he is quite loyal to the fierce tiger, so it's hard to convince him."

"Since it cannot be used by Duke Ming, it is an enemy, and there is no need to hold back when necessary."

Cao Cao sighed: "This is a last resort. He is very brave. If it is not a last resort, don't kill him."

"If possible, it's best to capture it alive and use it for me!"

Everyone looked at each other and said in unison: "Take orders!"

After the generals had left, Xun You was a little worried, and said to Cao Cao, "Duke Ming, although there is enough backup here to deal with accidents, the subordinates cannot fully predict how the other party will make moves."

"I'm afraid I have to think ahead about what the worst-case scenario is."

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, "Gongda tell me, what is the worst case?"

Xun You said without hesitation: "Killing the Son of Heaven is the worst case."

Cao Cao was startled, and slammed the table, "I didn't expect this!"

"The Yuan family's child, according to his viciousness, can really do it!"

"No wonder he made friends with Liu He in advance. I'm afraid he had made various plans a long time ago. At this age, he is already so scheming!"

"This kid has to guard against it."

"Gongda reminded me well, I told Zixiao to be more careful and protect the emperor, so as not to fail."

He turned to Cao Ang, "Can you do this?"

After Cao Ang heard this, he hesitated for a long time, and then said in shame: "The Son of Heaven is the master of the world, Ang really can't do it."

Cao Cao was noncommittal when he heard this, and said, "In this case, you all step back and be careful tomorrow."

When Xun You walked out of the tent, he saw a fat black boy squatting at the door chewing caramel, muttering, "Isn't it just to kill someone, no matter who he is, if he stabs him down, he will still die?"

After hearing this, Xun You's eyes flashed strangely, and he naturally recognized that this was Cao Cao's son Cao Pi, who had a suspicious and violent personality since he was a child, which made everyone afraid to approach him.

He paused, turned and left, thinking interestingly.

In Huayin City, Jia Xu packed his bags and quietly left the city.

Duan Yan led troops to Anyi, but instead of taking Jia Xu, he let him stay in Huayin.

Jia Xu smelled something unusual from it, he left Li Jue and Guo Si, and went to Duan Yan, but although Duan Yan treated Jia Xu with courtesy, he was indifferent to Jia Xu.

In the Liangzhou army, Jia Xu's prestige is very high, including Li Jue and Guo Si, all respect him very much.

But Duan Yan is a different kind, and Jia Xu can sometimes even see a trace of disgust in his eyes.

Jia Xu understood that she made a mistake in her judgment this time, and it was not a good choice to go to Duan Yan.

So taking advantage of Duan Yan's opportunity to lead his troops out of the city, he decided to leave and go to Zhang Xiu!

Jia Xu didn't even bring his family members with him. In his opinion, Duan Yan loves fame, so naturally he would not do anything to harm other people's family members.

Jia Xu did this because he saw very clearly that when he left the Liangzhou Army, he lost his backing and had to find another one.

He couldn't turn back, he sat down on these things, countless people in the world wanted his death, including the emperor.

If he didn't seek refuge with the power of the princes, but went to farm somewhere, trying to live a clean life, he would be revenged in a few days!

Jia Xu deliberated, and finally chose Zhang Xiu. The other party was in a difficult time, and she went to him in the past to send charcoal in the snow, so Zhang Xiu would definitely treat him with courtesy.

Jia Xu rode on the horse, turned her head and took one last look at Huayin, thinking that she just wanted to live, why is it so difficult?
In the early morning of the next day, the city gate to the west of Anyi was suddenly opened, and Li Jue and Guo Si's army, who were ambushing nearby, launched a charge towards the city gate!
Hundreds of horsemen in front rushed into the city, slashing and killing, and the people in the city cried and shouted. The prefect Wang Yi led his troops and rushed to close the city gate, but was rushed away by Xiliang cavalry in an instant.

He shouted: "Someone rebelled! Where are the defenders?"

A quarter of an hour later, Cao Cao's army came late and blocked the city gate, but there were already stands everywhere in the city, and the shouts of killing were endless.

As soon as the trumpet sounded, Cao Jun gathered his soldiers and counterattacked outside the city. Countless cavalry and infantry rushed out.

Cao Cao said to Xun You: "It's better to fight early, Mr. Lao is in the city, and the city diplomacy is given to me!"

Xun You hurriedly said: "I wish you victory in flying the flag!"

With a wave of his hand, Cao Cao led Cao Ying and his generals out of the city.

At the north gate, Ju Shou heard the horn to send troops out of the city, and said to Zhao Yun, who was on his horse, "Be careful, General, this is not what you expected. I'm afraid there may be some accidents."

Zhao Yun said calmly: "It doesn't matter, as long as Li Jue and Guo Si are killed, the turmoil will subside by itself!"

Under the planning of several parties, the situation in Anyi went to an unknown direction. These forces, with ulterior motives, brought Anyi City into unforeseen chaos.
