Chapter 386
"What's going on, who's hitting the drum!" Han Wu suddenly sat up from Hua Mulan's side in the backyard of Hexiang Bieyuan, and shouted at the door.

Two maids hurried in and lit candles.

"Master, it's the State Shepherd's Mansion that is ringing the bell and beating the drums to summon civil and military officials." The maid hurriedly reported the situation to Han Wu.

Han Wu narrowed his eyes, put on his clothes under the service of the maid, and hurried out of Hexiang Bieyuan.

Dian Wei has been guarding outside the lord's courtyard. He followed the lord and ran out of Hexiang Bieyuan, all the way to the state shepherd's mansion.

Hua Mulan was also awakened by the sound of drumming. After her husband left, she quickly got dressed, and all the girls in the backyard came out one after another, wanting to know what happened.

In the main hall of the State Shepherd's Mansion, civil and military officials were all disheveled, waiting for Han Wu to arrive.

Han Wu walked up to Guo Jia and asked while arranging his clothes, "What's going on?"

Guo Jia shook his head slightly, frowned and said: "Cao Cao's generals Ling Bao and Zhang Xiu left Yinping Pass from the mountain road, and [-] troops went out of Qishan to attack Yongliang. Tianshui and Jieting fell. General Xu Rong sent Guo Huai to defend Anding County. Wang Shuang Guarding Chen Cang San Pass, General Zhao Zilong rushed for three days with Bai Mayi to intercept Xiegu."

"My lord, if we don't send an army to support now, if Cao Cao's army arrives, the Sili area will definitely miss."

After Han Wu heard Guo Jia's report, he laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha! I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out that it was Cao Cao who sent the soldiers out of Qishan! It's okay, it's okay. Cao Mengde, if he didn't order If you are capable, how can you be the prime minister of a silly girl?"

"General Xu Rong was able to quickly form a defense line in Anding, Xiegu, and Sanguan. Congratulations!"

Han Wu breathed a sigh of relief, he thought it was such a tense frontier war.

Recalling the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, Han Wu recalled that Zhuge Liang also sent troops out of Qishan, and captured the three counties of Wei State at that time!The most important thing is that the capital of Wei State at that time was Luoyang, which was much more dangerous than it is now.

"Send someone to tell Zhang Heyu Tai Shici to stop putting pressure on Xinye. Let Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army stand still and check and balance Cao Cao's three armies."

"Zeng Guofan, I will give you [-] troops and General Huang Zhong, will you solve this crisis for me?"

Han Wu glanced at Zeng Guofan and asked him.

Everyone present did not expect that the lord would want Zeng Guofan to deal with this matter. After all, he is just a garrison order!

Even Han Fu's heart trembled, but he believed that his son would never do anything unsure.

Zeng Guofan was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "I can't guarantee that I will defeat General Cao Jun, but I will be able to regain the lost ground, and it will be difficult to resist Cao Jun."

Quite cautiously, Zeng Guofan didn't say any big words.

"Okay! Let's set off tonight, Huang Zhongwen will listen to the order! I order you to dispatch your own parts, and take full power to obey Zeng Guofan's orders to relieve me of Yongliang's danger."

As soon as he waved his hand, Han Wu directly asked the three of Zeng Guofan to go down to prepare and set off before dawn.

With easy-to-carry dry food such as sweet potatoes and corn, the Jizhou Army can now dispatch troops in an instant.

Han Wu walked among the crowd, wandered around for a couple of times, and said, "Cao Cao is really going to show his power. It seems that he can't wait any longer. But we can't be in a hurry, because we can afford it. Xun You, spread the news tomorrow morning, Let’s tell the truth first that Cao’s army captured the two counties of Yongliang and Liangzhou. Then we announced that the Sili area is impenetrable and has formed a defense line, and the [-] Jizhou army has gone to support and has led troops to Bingzhou.”

Xun You's heart trembled, he didn't expect the lord to tell the news to the people of Jizhou in detail.

It's just that the [-] army is fake, and it should be to deter Cao Jun.

However, starting tomorrow morning, the army will set off and march quickly within two days, and it is indeed possible to reach Bingzhou.

Han Fu frowned, and said sharply, "Wu'er, I think it's better to send more troops! Zeng Guofan's strength is limited, after all, he's just a garrison order."

After hearing his father's words, Han Wu smiled slightly and just shook his head.

"No need! Cao Cao sent Zhang Xiu and Ling Bao, so there is nothing to be afraid of. At most, there is Jia Xu to help them. As long as the army sticks to it, they will not have enough food and grass."

Han Wu is very confident, he believes that Zeng Guofan can handle this matter well.

In Yongliang Anding City, Xu Rong stayed up all night, looking at the map and dispatching troops.

Sun Guan is currently the only general that Xu Rong can send out, and he can be regarded as a strange army that can move everywhere.

Although Sun Guan is nervous now, he is also very excited.Because if it can resolve this Cao Cao's attack, it must be a great achievement!
"General Xu, do you want to lead troops to bypass Xiabian and cut off Cao Jun's food and grass?" Sun Guan asked Xu Rong very excitedly.

Xu Rong narrowed his eyes, shook his head, and said: "Zhang Xiu was able to attack Tianshui from a surprise attack, it should be because of the help of a master. I think this person is either Li Ru or Jia Xu. Based on my understanding of them, it is very difficult for Zhang Xiu to make a surprise rescue. Difficult, but easy to fall into the trap.”

"Calmly guard the city! Zhang Xiu and Ling Bao's army is less than [-], and their strength is only to capture two counties."

Xu Rong didn't intend to fight head-on with Zhang Xiu, he had fought steadily all his life, and he knew Jia Xu and Li Ru quite well.

Sun Guan squinted his eyes, he snorted coldly, and began to think about whether he should lead troops privately to cut off the Wei army's food and grass.

Xu Rong didn't notice Sun Guan's expression, he just looked at the map quietly and let Sun Guan leave.

In the early morning, Sun Guan led three thousand pieces out of the city, but the guards failed to stop them.

Not long after Xu Rong fell asleep, the soldiers guarding the city hurriedly came to him to report the situation.

"What? Sun Guan personally led the troops out of the city?" Upon hearing the news, Xu Rong remembered what Sun Guan had said last night about leading the troops to cut off the Wei army's food road.

He tightened his crown, hesitated for a while, and said: "Stick to the city, no one can leave the city! Immediately send someone to tell Guo Huai and Wang Shuang, let them stick to the place, even if Sun Guan falls to death, he can't rescue him!"

Xu Rong was so cruel that he decided to throw away the car to save the handsome man.

And based on his understanding of Sun Guan, Sun Guan has enough strength to cut off Cao Jun's food and grass, but it is absolutely impossible to retreat completely.

In order not to let more troops fall into it, Xu Rong decided to let Sun Guan fend for himself.

Sun Guan hurried forward with three thousand cavalry, feeling very excited, thinking that he could make a contribution this time.

But as everyone knows, he has fallen into a trap.

In Zhang Xiu's camp, Jia Xu looked at the map with a strange smile.

"Xiabian, the only main road that our army can transport grain, Xu Rong will definitely send troops to cut off the grain road. General Zhang Xiu, order the troops to withdraw. Our troops can only take the second county of Yongliang, and we can't make any more achievements. We will Grain and grass are used as bait to ambush Xu Rong's soldiers and horses who came to identify and cut off the two lanes, and then withdraw the troops."

"Exchanging the [-] army's five-day food and grass for one Yongliang elite is considered a small achievement. This time we dispatched troops as private soldiers. If the second son hadn't lent us troops, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to defeat Tianshui. Come down. The eldest son controls the troops in Zitong, and he doesn't even borrow troops. If I have his troops, I can take down Chang'an!"

Jia Xu sighed helplessly, he is now supporting Cao Pi as the heir.

Cao Pi is more radical than Cao Ang, and has the arrogance of the prime minister when he was young.
