The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 159 New Strategies

The generals and soldiers of the Chu army in the upper and lower parts of the city saw the soldiers led by Guan Jing beheading countless people, and their morale was greatly boosted.The [-] Cao army witnessed the process of Guan Jing beheading Li Kan with their own eyes. The whole army was awe-inspiring, and everyone admired Guan Jing's bravery.

Xiahou Dun, who was in the center of the formation, also secretly admired the general in front of him, but now he only expressed a little admiration.While Xiahoudun sighed, Xiahoujie next to him said in surprise: "Brother, I didn't expect Zhong Jin to be killed. What should we do now? Did we just chase after him?" After thinking for a moment, Xiahoudun said slowly: "Retreat." Withdraw?" Xia Houjie asked tremblingly, he couldn't believe his ears, but he was sure what he heard.

"Retreat, didn't you hear me clearly?"

At this time, Xia Houjie once again confirmed what he heard, and then ordered: "Retreat."

Xiahou Dun looked at Shouchun City in front of him, then sneered and said, "If it wasn't for taking the opportunity to get rid of Zhong Jin today, why would Guan Jing be allowed to act wild in front of me, I would definitely go up and stab him to death." Xiahou Dun then lightly Gently patted the horse back and returned to the camp.Guan Jing at the bottom of the city held a big sword in his hand, and stood vaguely under the city wall, while the soldiers of the Chu army stood behind him one after another. They all played up their robes, but they were so heroic.Guan Jing didn't send his troops to pursue, but just watched Xiahou's army slowly returning to the camp, and then led the army back to the city. After returning to the city, he immediately ordered to repair the destroyed city wall and rebuild the fortifications of the camp.

And Xia Houdun and Xia Houjie who returned to the big camp returned to the big tent.

Xia Houjie couldn't help but asked, "Brother, are we giving up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity just for Zhong Jin?"

Xiahou Dun lifted up his cloak, then quickly did what he did and said with a smile: "Brother, do you think we can really attack Shouchun City today?"

"Brother, isn't it? As long as you mobilize the army today, I think our army will be able to take the entire Shouchun City."

"You're wrong, you're wrong, if we really took Shouchun City today, it would be a heavy loss, but if our army uses sophisticated equipment and siege weapons, I think our army will be able to take it easily The entire Shouchun City, not our army, suffered heavy casualties. In addition, my main purpose today is to eliminate Zhong Jin, the dissident. As for Shouchun City, I think I will be able to wipe them out tomorrow if I go all out and take turns fighting."

After Xiahoujie heard Xiahoudun's clever plan, he couldn't help being amazed, because he knew that his elder brother was always right.

"Someone is coming."

"The last general is here, general, please give me instructions."

"Give me an order, order the former lieutenant to prepare siege weapons for me, the lieutenant to prepare [-] elite cavalry, the lieutenant to the left to prepare crossbowmen for me, and the lieutenant to prepare [-] shieldmen for me, We want to attack and enter Shouchun City in one fell swoop.

"The last general takes orders."

Then, the entire army started to move, and immediately fell into an unprecedented enthusiasm.

Halfway through, that is, when the sky was about to enter the night, suddenly at this moment, a personal soldier entered the door and reported: "General Qi, the prime minister's messenger has arrived. Please see the general."

Xiahou Dun was currently reading a copy of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in his hand, then he put it down slowly and announced: "Send the order to come in."

"Yes."

In an instant, a school lieutenant barged in majestically. After entering, he turned and bowed down and said, "See the general. The last general was ordered to see the general."

Xiahoudun originally wanted to reply casually, but when he looked down, he quickly got up and said, "My lord, you are trying to shame me!"

Xiahou Dun hurriedly left his seat and helped him up to be the general below. It turned out that the general who knelt down was Cao Cao's former second son and today's eldest son Cao Pi.

Xiahou Dun hurriedly helped the eldest son Cao Pi, but Cao Pi said humbly: "General, I am in your military tent now, there are only generals and no sons, I am here to convey the prime minister's order. "

Xiahoudun immediately bowed down and said, "The last general, Xiahoudun, was ordered by the prime minister."

Cao Pi turned around and read aloud on the steps of the climbing commander's platform: "Prime Minister Order, I now order General Xiahou Dun to stand by where he is, and make a decision after our army arrives."

Cao Pi cupped his fists in congratulations and said, "Cao Jun, the prime minister ordered me to bring twenty bottles of imperial wine when I came here this time."

Xiahoudun also thanked him again and again, but now Cao Pi is still in his youth, and all he can think of is making contributions, there is no city yet, and he is not as calm as he was later, and what he has is just the youthful vigor of young people now.

Cao Pi said slowly: "General, don't you want to make meritorious deeds before the prime minister arrives?"

At this time, Xiahou Dun didn't know how to answer. If he didn't move, he won't win but he won't be defeated. But if he sent troops, he would be punished if he failed. But he wanted to fight at first, but now he heard this , also strengthened his confidence, then held his hand, and said firmly: "Okay, okay, we will do as the young master said."
