The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 24 The Smiley Face on the Boundary Monument

As the saying goes, there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky.

Yuan Shang was a smart man, and his strategy and plan to attack Xu Du were quite ingenious. However, there are too many smart people in the world, but he is not the only one.

Born Guo Fengxiao, the hero crowns all heroes, the classics and history are hidden in the belly, the armor is hidden in the chest, the strategy is like Fan Li, and the decision-making is like Chen Ping.

There are countless talents in the Central Plains, but in terms of wit and strategy, Guo Jia, who served as a sacrificial wine under Cao Cao's tent, was the best.

Just because too many letters were sent, he could see Yuan Shang's true intentions, and he could guess Yuan Shang's retreat route. Guo Jia, a genius, really lived up to his reputation.

This person is really terrible.

The words are divided into two parts.

The days passed quickly, and the two days flew by in the blink of an eye.

In the past two days, under Xun Yu's arrangement several times, Cao Jun wanted to rush out of the siege to report to Cao Cao several times, but Yuan Jun's defense was extremely strict, let alone a messenger, even a fly would not want to fly out.

In this way, Baba was delayed for two days, Xun Yu's heart became cooler day by day, while Yuan Shang's heart became more stable day by day.

It was not until the morning of the third day that Yuan Shangfang sent someone to summon Zhang Jai and Gao Lan to discuss the strategy of withdrawing troops.

After several days of sitting on the sidelines, the two generals in Yuan Junzhong have no energy, and their usual radiance has completely disappeared. The expressions that appear on their faces are fatigue and fatigue. It was covered with bloodshot eyes, it could be said to be extremely tired.

It really took pains, Yuan Shang secretly sighed in his heart.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang strode forward and adjusted the armor and skirts of the two generals himself with distress. Then he bowed and said respectfully: "The two generals have to work hard day and night to kill the enemy, so that they can be replaced." Yuan Shang has nothing to repay for today's achievements, so he can only thank the two generals here on behalf of his father and Hebei soldiers."

Zhang Jai was startled when he heard the words, he hurriedly shook his head, and bowed back: "Third Young Master's words really killed us, this is a matter of the last general's duty, it should be done, An Gan is such a great gift to Third Young Master!"

Gao Lan said with a smile: "That's right, it's just a few days less rest, what's the point? When Cao Cao is captured alive in the future, the thief's skin will be peeled off, and he will wrap it up and sleep overnight to make up for his sleep." , wouldn't you be happy?"

Yuan Shang nodded with a smile: "General Gao's words are reasonable. If you don't think it's enough, I'll make you a chamber pot. How about Cao Cao's brains?"

Gao Lan opened his mouth wide: "It's more fun!"

Looking up at the city of Xuchang not far away, a smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Shang's mouth: "The siege has lasted for two days, and the time is almost here. Even if Xuchang sends sentry cavalry to notify Cao Cao now, it will be too late. The goal has been achieved." , two generals, there is no point for us to stay here anymore! Let’s go east, to Xuzhou!”

Zhang Jai and Gao Lan Er general looked at each other with a smile full of relief.

Seeing Yuan Shang's eyes flashed suddenly, he seemed to think of something again, and said with a smile: "But before that, I have to leave a small gift for Cao Cao, where is the boundary marker of Xudu?"

The second general became suspicious when he heard the words.

The so-called demarcation tablet is an iconic stone tablet erected in the county town to demarcate the state and county.

The names of prefectures and counties are engraved on the stele, which means that the territory behind the stele is owned by the county in the name. For example, the word "Chang'an" is engraved on the boundary stele of Chang'an, and the word "Luoyang" is engraved on the boundary stele of Luoyang. The word "Yecheng" is engraved on the boundary tablet of Yecheng.
To put it bluntly, it's like the house number of a person's house.

By analogy, the inscription on the boundary tablet of Xudu is naturally "Xuchang".

Yuan Jun marched to the boundary marker of Xudu, and saw Yuan Shang pulled out a wooden box from his arms as if juggling, which was filled with bright red cinnabar, which melted in water and fixed when solidified.

Zhang Jai and Gao Lan looked at each other in bewilderment, completely unable to understand what kind of weird Yuan Shang was trying to do.

I saw Yuan Shangbi gesturing on the boundary marker for a long time, raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and waved to the second general with a smile: "You're done, now you can retreat to Xuzhou."

Zhang Jai and Gao Lan looked at the stele carefully, and immediately wiped off their cold sweat together.

Gao Lan opened his mouth and hesitated: "Third son, are we making a big fuss by doing this? If Cao Bing sees it when he comes back, he must catch up with us and bite us to death. Yimo will see, let's wipe it off. Don't push them too fast."

Zhang Jai also smiled helplessly, and opened his mouth to say something, but hesitated for a while, and finally closed his mouth without making a sound.

Yuan Shang got on his horse, patted Gao Lan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "General Gao, you are honest, and you are too worried. As the saying goes, seeing is not as good as knowing, knowing is not as good as doing, let's come all the way here , How can there be someone who just walks around in front of someone's door without knocking? I'm doing this out of politeness."

Gao Lan's eyelids twitched when he heard this.Turning his head to look at the boundary marker that was smeared by Yuan Shang like a ghostly talisman.
The third son really likes to joke, so it is polite to smear someone's face like this bear? !
******************
Speaking of Cao Jun's Guandu, after listening to Guo Jia's advice, Cao Cao no longer hesitated. On the one hand, he personally supervised the army and went north to pursue Yuan Shao. Yuan Jun from the capital.

Among the cavalry of the Cao Wei Eight Tigers of Cao Cao's family, Xia Houyuan is best at running for thousands of miles. He followed Cao Cao in his early years and fought bravely. Hehe, during the Battle of Guandu, he was mainly responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass for Cao Cao.

This time Cao Cao sent him back to the army to rescue Xudu, which can be said to have just used his expertise.

Xia Houyuan liked to attack and fight the most, and he marched extremely fast. From Cao Cao's order to reinforce Xudu to the time he led the army to rush back, it took him less than a day and night at most, and he really lived up to his reputation as a vanguard.

The army rushed back day and night, and it was about to reach the border of Xu County. Xia Houyuan, who was in the lead, half-closed his eyes, and then sent an order to order the soldiers behind him to be alert and ready to attack the enemy at any time.

The horses neigh, the banners are unfurled, the soldiers are raging, and the morale is like a rainbow.

Under the leadership of Xia Houyuan, Cao Jun seemed to be a group of wolves looking for food. With their fierce and alert eyes, they were patrolling every place where the enemy might be lurking. The momentum rushed forward, tore off the throat of the prey, and tore it to pieces.

"Report-"

In a hurry, I saw a scout riding a flying horse galloping towards Xia Houyuan, like an arrow leaving the string, it arrived in front of Xia Houyuan in an instant.

Xia Houyuan reined in his horse and stood up, staring at the scout in a domineering manner, and only opened his mouth to say a word: "Speak!"

Xia Houyuan spent half his life in the army only seeking the word "quick", and his character was also fierce like a fire. He never procrastinated in speaking and doing things, showing a capable attitude.

The scout was well aware of Xia Houyuan's nature, and hastily reported: "General Qi, there is no movement of Yuan's army outside the city of Xudu, and all his soldiers and horses have withdrawn. There is no battalion, stove, soldier or soldier left behind, just"

"It's just what, talk quickly!" What Xia Houyuan hates most is hesitating when speaking.

The scout trembled when he heard the words, and hurriedly replied: "Although Yuan Jun retreated, he left some traces of cinnabar on the north boundary marker of Xudu. The situation is very tragic. Please go and see for yourself."

On the boundary marker?

Very tragic?

What type of situation is this?What kind of tricks can a broken stone play?
Xia Houyuan didn't know what was going on in his heart, frowned slightly, sat down with his legs clamped, and led his troops straight to the northern border of Xudu.

In less than a moment, Cao Jun's soldiers and horses had already arrived at the northern border monument. I saw that on the solemn and solemn boundary monument erected with bluestone, for some reason at this moment, it was actually drawn by red cinnabar like a ghostly talisman, circled by dots , extremely creepy and eye-catching.

Xia Houyuan's complexion changed, and he hurriedly mounted his horse and stepped forward to take a closer look.

After just watching for a few seconds, Xia Houyuan stabbed the battle gun in his hand to the ground fiercely, his eyes wide open, his nostrils opened and closed, he spewed out air like a bull, and shouted angrily to the sky, which was particularly frightening.

"Yuan Jun is a despicable and shameless person! You don't expose your wounds, and you don't hit people in the face! Which bastard did this!"

Several captains behind Xia Houyuan heard the words and looked forward together.
Then, everyone was stunned.

But seeing that the stone tablet was smooth and flat, with only the word "Xuchang", now it has been outlined by cinnabar on the left and right, like a blood letter on the deathbed, how shabby it is.

What's even more hateful is the content written on it. Although it is half-understood, it is not a good word at first glance.

But seeing a row of crooked red characters completely concealing the sharpness and aura of the word "Xu Du", it looks like a shrimp crawling, extremely awkward, and there is a villain with a silly smiling face drawn behind it.

"Good mountains, good water, beautiful scenery, delicious food, delicious food, and delicious food. My grand master came to Xuchang for a visit, and kept a copy for myself as a souvenir. The exclusive rare pen is carefully collected, yay!\(^o^)/
