King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 279

"Damn it!" Xiahou Dun clapped his hands bitterly.He said angrily, "It's just one step away!"

"Be safe and don't be impatient!" Xun Yu said lightly. "How about being handsome?"

"A handsome man, where the soul of a soldier is, he should not be arrogant or impetuous." Xia Houdun quickly came to his senses, and said after a moment of thought, "Chen Ji can't defend himself. Fighting again will only cost the lives of the soldiers. Sir, why don't you think of a good strategy again?"

"You are handsome, I am handsome?" Xun Yu said jokingly, but naturally he was very sure of Xiahou Dun in his heart, knowing that if he followed his previous personality, the only way to attack was by force.

"Oh, Dun forgot again!" Xiahou Dun smiled sarcastically, making Mingjin withdraw.

For the next three days, no one in Xiahou Dun sent his generals to fight in Xiyang, but Chen Ji couldn't defend himself. Xiahou Dun was furious, but thinking about what Xun Yu said, he secretly suppressed his anger and summoned his generals to discuss ways to defeat the enemy. According to the plan, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei also attended.

On the left are Xun Yu, Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Xu Huang, and on the right are Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. "Everyone!" Xiahou Dun sat in the main seat.Looking at the crowd, he said, "Chen Ji can't defend now. How should we deal with it?"

Xu Huang pondered for a moment, hesitantly clasped his fists and said, "Commander, why don't I attack the city before night?" Just after he finished speaking, the multifaceted Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Chen Ji is a general under Yuan Shu's command. , but the defense in the city, I think it will not be negligent, if the general goes forward, it will be fine, if it doesn't work, I'm afraid it will be restrained by him."

Liu Bei nodded and said. "Why don't you lead it out?"

"Extract?" Xun Yu smiled slightly, raised his hand and said, "Xuande might as well elaborate!"

Liu Bei clasped his fists together and said in a respectful voice, "It is said in the book of war that if you want to lure the enemy, you have to show weakness. If you attack the enemy, you must save a few strategies. Since it is useless to show weakness now, why not attack the enemy?"

It may be that Zhang Fei just said "my elder brother has been in battle for a long time" aroused the dissatisfaction in General Cao's heart except Zhang Liao, only to see Xu Huang said lightly. "I'm stupid. This is Yuzhou. If it wasn't under Yuan Shu's rule, why would you say that you must save the enemy if you attack it? I'll ask the general to enlighten me when I first get to the battle!"

Xiahou Dun has been with Cao Cao for a long time, and has fought countless wars. Zhang Fei's words annoyed him very much. The little appreciation he had yesterday has long since disappeared, but thinking of Xun Yu once said "Liu Bei should not be underestimated", so Xiahou Dun never Sneering at each other, they just sneered in their hearts.

"This..." Liu Bei frowned, and secretly blamed Zhang Fei in his heart. Strange, could it be that the three of Liu Bei and the generals of Cao Ying did not agree with each other?Seeing this, Xun Yu shook his head in his heart, turned to Zhang Liao and said, "Wen Yuan, what do you think of this matter?"

"The last general?" Zhang Liao was taken aback.

Xun Yu smiled, and said softly, "Wen Yuan is also a handsome talent, and he is very talented, why don't you tell me what's on your mind?"

Why handsome?Zhang Liao's heart skipped a beat, as if he remembered something from the past, when he came back to his senses, he saw Xun Yu's suspicious eyes, and hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "So I just said a few words, I hope you don't want to laugh at me!"

"Please speak, Wen Yuan!" Xiahou Dun raised his hand and said, Li Dian, Xu Huang, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei also looked at Zhang Liao, and even Liu Bei waited intently for Zhang Liao to speak.

It has to be said that as a general, if he has superb martial arts, it will be easier to be recognized by others. After all, there are only a handful of 'characters' like Xun Yu in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.Although Zhang Liao is now only a general who surrendered to Cao Cao soon, and his official position is not big, but later Zhang Liao defended Hefei, and [-] elite soldiers from Xiaoyaojin defeated Sun Quan's army, which shows his talent. Liu Bei's eyes are so poisonous. At that time, Liu Bei praised Zhang Liao in front of Cao Cao. I saw Zhang Liao's talent.

Clasping his fists at everyone, Zhang Liao said in a deep voice. "Just now General Liu said to lure the enemy, then... If I don't want to wait, I will let Xiyang not attack, and just drive directly..."

"Ah?" The irritable Zhang Fei was dumbfounded.He murmured, "What a good plan I can say, but I don't want to, but it's like this. I, Lao Zhang, can say it too!"

"Don't worry about virtue!" Xun Yu smiled and said, "The general has more to say!"

"Huh?" Zhang Liao looked at Xun Yu in surprise.I just felt that what I was thinking in my heart seemed to be unable to escape what this gentleman was thinking, and after thinking about it for a while, I said, "What the last general thought, Yuan Shu asked Chen Ji to capture Xiyang, not only to capture Yuzhou, but also to guard against it. Let me wait, if I bypass this army, Chen Ji will not be able to please Yuan Shu in the future. If this is the case, how can Chen Ji let me leave easily? We just want to spread rumors and want to abandon Xiyang, Chen Ji must lead his troops here, regardless of whether he wants to fight us or not...just because he wants to give his lord an explanation!"

"Great kindness!" Xun Yu agreed with a smile.

Not only is this person outstanding in martial arts, but he also has such resourcefulness. He is really handsome as Mr. said!Xiahou Dun's complexion changed slightly, and he secretly cheered himself up.I have been with the lord for many years, if I am compared by Zhang Liao, I will face the lord as if I have no face.The art of war, you must study hard in the future, don't slack off!
"Good strategy!" Liu Bei nodded.

"I don't want to have a sequel..." Ignoring Li Dian's teasing, Zhang Fei scratched his head and said embarrassingly.

Xiahou Dun glanced at Xun Yu, saw him smiling, and knew that even the master agreed with this plan, so he shouted loudly, "In that case, all generals obey orders!"

"The last general is here!" All the generals shouted in unison except for Xun Yu.

"Tomorrow we will lead our troops to the city of Xuzhou. Li Dian, Xu Huang, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei will lead the army!"

"The last general is here!" The four generals came out and clasped their fists in response.

"Each lead your troops and horses, and lie down in each dangerous place. If you see Chen Ji coming and fight out together, you must kill this man!"

"No! The last general takes orders!"

"Zhang Liao obey!"

Zhang Liao stepped out, clasped his fists in response, "The last general is here!"

"Two thousand more soldiers with you, join your soldiers and me to take down Xiyang!"

"No!" Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, knowing that Xiahoudun had given him such great credit with good intentions, and he was grateful in his heart.

The next day, Xiahou Dun bluffed, pulled out his camp and walked slowly southeast. Chen Ji, who was in Xiyang, saw this, and realized that Cao Jun must make a detour.

Chen Ji, who was worried about being slandered by villains in the future, knew it was a trick and had no choice but to go out. As he expected, there was Cao Jun ambushing on the way.Yuan Jun has no morale, how can he fight?Chen Ji had no choice but to lead his troops to Yuan Shu.

However, as a general under Yuan Shu's command, Chen Ji is really extraordinary. He has already secretly transported the money and food in the city to Yuan Shu's soldiers from the small path, and he himself seemed to have gone through a cutscene. The moment Cao Jun's four generals came out of ambush, Chen Ji had already ordered the withdrawal of troops. He fled, which annoyed the four generals who were in ambush.

After killing more than a thousand Yuan Shu who stayed behind, Zhang Liao took Xiyang without any effort. Naturally, he had achieved a great achievement, but at the moment he was not at all happy. Looking at the thick smoke, wreckage, and corpses in the city, and those ordinary People, Zhang Liao held his spear tightly, feeling very sad in his heart.

At this time, Cao Cao was at war with Yuan Shu's main army and Runan. On Yuan Shu's side, he was named a general after Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Zhang Xun...

Cao Cao thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Gongda's words are very true, I should send someone to cut off his food!"

Xun You was relieved to see that Cao Cao obeyed his plan, but he never thought that Cao Cao would send Yu Jin, Li Dian, Le Jin, Cao Hong and other generals, not only to cut off Yuan Shu's food, but also to cut off Yuan Shu's retreat.

Hearing this, Xun You visited Cao Cao starry night and said anxiously, "How can my lord send out all the generals in the camp?"

"No and no!" Cao Cao looked at Xun You with a smile, pointed at Dian Wei beside him and said, "Did Cao send out all of them? And leave evil by my side!"

Xun You got angry and said with a stampede, "Master, if Yuan Shu comes to attack at this time, what should I do? I should urgently recall Le Jin, General Cao Hong!"

Cao Cao patted Xun You on the shoulder, signaling him not to be impatient. Seeing Xun You's puzzled eyes, Cao Cao's complexion changed slightly, and he said lightly, "If Zhang Xun really dares to come, why not fight in person? Wait until I behead his head. Just to repay Xu Du's hatred for his previous crime!"

Xun You didn't want to, but thought it was Cao Cao's evasion. Seeing that he had made up his mind, Xun You could only retreat with a sigh, and told the military commander Guo Jia about it.

After hearing Xun You's words, Guo Jia was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud, and said happily, "Gongda, it's not that the lord is acting recklessly, but that the lord has big plans in his heart!"

Xun You thought about it for a moment, and said in shock, "Yuan Shu's military strength is still higher than ours now, how can we trap him here, if Zhang Xun counterattacks when he has nowhere to go, we will suffer heavy losses! Fengxiao, please advise my lord Advice!"

"Hehe!" Guo Jia closed the books in his hand and said with a light smile, "Gongda doesn't know about Jiaxi's tricks? What the lord did is quite in line with Jia's wishes, so why would Jia persuade him? Don't worry about Gongda. If Wen Ruo wants to advance with his troops, if Wen Ruo leads the troops and attacks head to tail, then Yuan Shu will not be able to fly even with wings!"

Guo Jia said with a smile, "Leading the battle against the enemy, I am stronger than the king; when it comes to general strategy, Jia is not as good as Gongda, and I hope Gongda will not shirk!"

"A good strategy is to recruit Cao Hong again, General Le Jin, it is enough to stay behind General Ban after Yuan Shu is broken!"

"Gongda..." Guo Jia shook his head and said softly, "We are the counselors under the lord's command, and we planned to make the lord defeat the enemy, but now the lord's will has been decided... Even ordinary generals should not do things that change from day to day Besides, my lord? Although Jiasi's strategy is dangerous, if he can hold on for a while, Yuan Shu will definitely lose, and it will be a big defeat!"

Seeing what Guo Jia said, Xun You was a little hesitant and thought for a long time before saying, "Forget it, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to talk too much! But if Zhang Xun sees the truth in my camp, how should we deal with it?"

"Hehe!" Guo Jia chuckled lightly, and said lightly, "Jia has his own plan!" Then he whispered to Xun You.

I saw Xun You's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile on his face, "Feng Xiao's plan is great!"
