The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 157

Wen Chou shook his head: "Why is this the same thing? It's completely different." Li Dian sneered: "Don't waste your words in vain, I will not surrender." Wen Chou said: "Could it be that the general has a family, wife and children in Xuchang? "Li Dian said: "I'm not married yet, where are the family members?"

Wen Chou thought, this will be easy.Li Dian is a rare general, and he must keep this talent for the lord.

"General Li doesn't want to surrender, that's all. I respect you as a hero below, and I won't harm you, but if I let you go, you will definitely be my enemy again. I have learned the general's skills. In order not to give myself Looking for trouble, I have to imprison you first. Please." Wen Chou said to the soldiers: "Take General Li down, and greet him with good wine and meat. Go."

Li Dian was amused when he heard it. You want to use this method to win over me, but you can't do it. I will eat and drink as much as I want, so there is no need to talk about surrendering.

Li Dian sneered all the way out.Hu Che'er said angrily: "He's so proud, a defeated general, he's quite arrogant." Chang Xi said: "This man has some skills, it would be nice if he could surrender."

"Who says it's not. But I can't help it." Wen Chou spread his hands and paced back and forth.

"That's easy. You prepare some torture tools for me. I'll dip the whip in salt water and keep him surrendered." Hu Che'er said disdainfully.

Wen Chou said: "No, this man is a general, don't beat him, think of another way." Hu Che'er rolled his eyes: "What way?" Wen Chou said: "I can't remember it for a while, ask Xu Shu later Sir."

Xu Shu had no idea either, he was thinking of attacking Yanjin.First, Changxi and Hu Che'er were sent to lead troops to capture Ji County and Huojia County respectively, and five days later they arrived at Yanjin City and set up camp ten miles away.

At this time, Guo Yuan's 3 reinforcements had also entered Yanjin City.Prefect Liu Yan reported Li Dian's capture to Guo Huai.Guo Huai sighed deeply, if only he could arrive a few days earlier.Liu Yan has 4 defenders in his hands, and the [-] troops brought by Guo Huai are less than [-].In the past few days, the Hebei army has won consecutive battles, and the captured Cao army alone has [-] to [-] people. These people in Guo Huai's hands are simply not enough.Liu Yan calculated that the prime minister's vanguard would be able to return to Sishui Pass in ten and a half months. As long as they couldn't hold on, it shouldn't be a problem to hold the Hebei army for half a month.Guo Huai thought it was reasonable, so he ignored Wen Chou and others who were yelling and cursing outside the city every day, and just didn't fight.

The Hebei army scolded for three days without any movement, Xu Shu said decisively: "Forget it, stop scolding, the city wall won't collapse if you keep scolding, let's attack the city." Siege.In other words, it is a last resort to send troops to attack the city.Xu Shu also wanted to surrender without fighting, but he couldn't.Cao Cao's army rushed back day and night, unable to wait.One order: "Siege the city. I don't believe the fuck."

Both Liu Yan and Guo Yuan are first-class generals under Cao Cao's tent, both wise and brave, with hard ears and hard bones.It is not easy to be deceived, and it is even more useless to frighten and intimidate.

The Cao soldiers who returned from the captives were organized into the two divisions of Changxi and Hu Che'er. Hu Che'er meant that these people should go up as cannon fodder first to consume Cao's arrows and vigor, and then let the Hebei soldiers go up and beat them up.This proposal was severely reprimanded by Wen Chou. Now that he has surrendered, he is his own soldier.Our army is equally fair to every soldier. If you want to go up together, if you want to run, you also run together.There must be no distinction between grades and grades.

Yanjin City was much worse than Baima in terms of size and city defense. Xu Shu still had confidence in fighting such a city.Sure enough, neither Guo Huai nor Liu Yan was good enough to defend the city, and they didn't prepare well in advance. In the evening, the southeast corner of the city was captured.The Hebei army climbed up the tower and fought a fierce battle with the defenders.It's a pity that the fruit of this victory could not be kept. Cao Jun, who resisted desperately, forced the Hebei Army back, and once again firmly guarded the tower.But anyone could tell that neither Liu Yan nor Guo Huai was an expert in city defense.Yanjin City is in danger.

Xu Shu can't wait for seven or eight days, soldiers are extremely fast, and now is the time to race against time.The moat of Yanjin City is very wide, and the ladders are not long enough, making it difficult for soldiers to cross the river.Xu Shu ordered people to transport soil to fill the trench, then rode around the city to observe, and then ordered people to pile sandbags on the northwest corner of the city as a step stool to facilitate the attack on the city.

Liu Yan looked at it and said with a smile: "This kind of trick is the rest of the prime minister's play. When the prime minister attacked Zhang Xiu, he knew that the southeast corner of the city had the fewest crenels and was very broken. When he attacked the city during the day, most of the antlers were also damaged. I think Attack the city from that side, but deliberately piled sandbags on the northwest corner of the city wall. This is a tactic to lure the enemy. If the enemy wants the main force of defense to be placed in the northwest, he will secretly hide his warehouse in the southeast.

This trick, when the prime minister attacked Wancheng, was seen through by the old man Jia Xu.Xu Shu is not an idiot, he copied it and used it on purpose, in fact, he wanted us to set a trap in the northeast corner like Jia Xu.In fact, I expected that he really wanted to attack the northwest corner this time. "

Guo Huai said: "In that case, let him close the door and beat the dogs, let them enter the city, and then ambush the elite soldiers at the northwest corner, and when Yuan Jun enters the city, they will rush out and kill him by surprise."

When Xu Shu heard the news in the camp, he jumped up laughing and said, "It's my plan." Wen Chou also heard about Jia Xu's defeat of Cao Cao in Wancheng.Worried: "What if they just plan?" Xu Shu said: "The art of war is false and true, so there is a conclusion. Liu Yan and Guo Huai are smart enough to die today. He predicted that I would not follow Cao Cao's old path, so I will Let the old and weak soldiers feint in the northwest corner tonight, while the special forces detachment and elite soldiers attack the weakest city wall in the northeast corner."

Xu Shu's and Liu Yan's calculations are based on the truth, but Xu Shu's strategy is more flexible and far-sighted than Liu Yan's, and he thinks a little deeper.

At the time of the second watch, the Hebei army attacked at the same time from two routes, quietly crawling across the moat, one route was from the northeast corner, and the other route was a feint attack from the northwest corner.There was no movement on the northwest corner. The old, weak and remnant soldiers climbed up the tower and turned around, then came down and ran, faster than a rabbit.Cao Jun, who was ambushing everywhere in the corner of the city, was puzzled. Could it be that Yuan Jun couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and came out to practice climbing? !

Before they could wake up to their senses, the city gate had been opened in the northeast corner, and there were only two to 3000 people in the northeast corner where the defense was weak and suspicious, and they were all pretended by the people in the city.Regardless of whether Yuan Jun is a commoner or not, as long as he wears Cao Jun's uniform, he will treat it as an enemy.Those common people, how could they resist, and after being harvested by Yuan Jun, there was not much left.Yuan Jun's soldiers killed happily, and each of them had such a question in their hearts, how did my martial arts become so good, did it come from frequent fighting.

Liu Yan and Guo Huai were still waiting for an ambush in the northwest corner, and they felt something was wrong when they waited. From the northeast corner, there were bursts of miserable cries for their parents and mother.Guo Huai shouted: "It's not good, Yuan Jun really entered the city from the northeast corner, Master Liu, hurry up, go." Liu Yan also panicked, he was even more panicked than Guo Huai, because he came up with this bad idea , If you want to take the blame later, he must be the one to take the blame.That is a serious crime for delaying military aircraft.

The distance between the southeast corner and the northwest corner was tens of miles, and by the time they arrived, it was too late.

Liu Yan was puzzled, there was no sound in the northeast corner, it was completely silent, only the smell of blood in the wind proved that there was indeed a fight just now.Other than that, nothing happened.

A consciousness flashed through Liu Yan's mind; "Retreat quickly, there is an ambush."

A cannon rang, and ambushes were everywhere.Yuan Jun came out of the houses in the city, in the woods, on the towers, in groups, and surrounded the two generals in the core.Liu Yan did another stupid thing. He yelled to retreat and ran out of the city with his soldiers.Guo Huai froze for a moment, thinking to himself, as if we were guarding the city, why did we run outside?

This consciousness didn't last long, and he himself ran out.Wen Chou personally led the Black Dragon Riders, and rushed out from the alleys in the city to kill Cao Bing.Cao Bing was stunned and thought he was an unexpected visitor, so he opened the city gate behind him and ran out.Guo Huai always felt something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't turn the corner for a while.After Wen Chou drove Cao Bing out of the city, he closed the gate of the city. He also wondered how the hell this battle was fought like this. He was in a daze.

Liu Yan ran for more than ten miles in one breath before stopping his horse. He turned to Guo Huai who was behind him and said, "I finally escaped. We were caught in the trap. It doesn't matter. We will attack the city tomorrow—"Siege the city!Liu Yan himself was also taken aback, it seems that he should be defending the city!

Guo Yuan opened his mouth for a long time and squeezed out a sentence: "Why did we come out?" Liu Yan shook his head: "I don't know much about this, I'd better go back and think about it."

Before the two could figure it out, suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes on the two forked roads. It turned out that it was Chang Xi and Hu Che'er who were lying in ambush here.Hu Che'er and Chang Xi, under Xu Shu's instruction, must see the flag clearly before fighting, but don't beat Wen Chou.

Xu Shu was not sure who would be kicked out of the city.

When Chang Xi saw the flag clearly, he went crazy with joy, as expected by Mr. Xu.

"Kill, brothers, there is a reward for killing, the more you kill, the more you will be rewarded." Chang Xi shouted hoarsely.Liu Yan and Guo Huai couldn't take the medicine of regret at this moment, and if they didn't work hard, they would all be over.The two looked at each other and immediately split into two ways to meet the enemy.Chang Xi and Hu Che'er led troops into the enemy's formation, slashed bravely for a while, and there were no three-in-one generals under them, and Cao's army was demoralized and retreated.The two led their troops and chased them out for twenty miles like wolves driving sheep. Then they called gold to withdraw their troops and returned to Yanjin.

At the celebration feast.

Hu Che'er's admiration for Xu Shu is like a torrential river, and it's like the Yellow River flooding out of control.Looking at Xu Shu's eyes is like looking at Tathagata Buddha.

"Mr. Xu went to the three cities of Cangting, Baima and Yanjin within one month. It's a brilliant plan, unparalleled in the world. I, Hu, have convinced you in this life." Hu Che'er picked up a bowl of wine and drank it down; "I offended you before, sir, don't be offended, Lao Hu will never dare again." I thought to myself, with so many evil intentions, don't turn around and plot against Lao Tzu, offending him is no good.

Xu Shu showed natural humility and generosity, with short hands and beard, and said with a smile: "It's all thanks to everyone, how dare you be arrogant."

Wen Chou said sincerely: "Mr.'s strategy is indeed superior to others, and Wen Chou also admires it very much. With Guo Fengxiao, Jia Xu, Tian Feng, Ju Shou and Mr. these rare and resourceful people in the world, the Hebei army will unify the world just around the corner."

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "I can be regarded as a resourceful man, far worse than my classmate Zhuge Wolong. His talent and learning are beyond comparison in this lifetime."

When Wen Chou heard it, he became energetic: "There is such a high-level person in the world, can you invite me to listen to the Lord." Xu Shu said with a wry smile: "This person has something to do with Jizhou."

Wen Chou thought, what does it matter, my nephew, why don't I know?

Chang Xi suddenly said: "I know the person you're talking about. It's Zhuge Liang, the younger brother of Zhuge Jin, the Huainan military academy captain. My lord once told me about him, saying that it's a pity that he can't be brought to Jizhou." Wen Chou frowned and said, "" That being the case, let Zhuge Jin go and greet him, my younger brother will naturally obey his elder brother, or beat him." Hu Che'er said drunkenly; "That's right, let his elder brother beat him."

The tone is not small, he greeted you, and he carried a big sedan chair eight times to invite him, but he didn't even look at you.Xu Shu thought to himself, General Wen's thinking is too simple.

Xu Shu's army rested in Yanjin for two days and continued to advance. On the afternoon of the third day, they arrived at Dushijin, fifty miles outside the original Wucheng.

The vanguard of the Jizhou army is crossing the Yellow River under the command of Zhang He.In the past two days, Xu Shu's success has been reported frequently, and he has advanced all the way to Yangwu, which makes me feel like the scene of the first Guandu battle has reappeared.I wrote to him and asked him not to be greedy for success, but to be steady and steady.

In the past two years, the spies assigned to the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty worked as secret agents. They were former prostitutes, thieves, liars, and fortune tellers.has begun to play an increasingly important role.The information passed on by Feige became more and more extensive and specific, and even some minor details could never escape my eyes and ears.After these people have undergone special and severe training, they have become pervasive and ubiquitous. As long as it has happened before, there is nothing they can't find.

Some of the information these people sent back was even more specific than I imagined. For example, Liu Biao ate a bowl of lotus seed soup last night when lighting the lamps, and then went to Wushan with Mrs. Cai. It took about a stick of incense for the two sides to stop fighting A truce; when Cao Pi was admiring the flowers in the garden, he fell down and injured his left knee.Attachment: redness and swelling, minor injuries; Zhang Lu lost a peach red BMW; Liu Zhang rewarded his concubine with an emerald and green jade Ruyi, and said, "You are the person I love the most in this life" These are all They came back from scouting.There are also specific ones. For example, Han Sui sneezed twice at night, probably because he caught wind and cold when he was in the rain with Mrs. Ma the night before.Its symptoms are generalized sweating, sneezing and runny nose.I really doubt whether this news was calculated by Mr. Guan Ke.Later, it came to the point where even some major cases that could not be solved for many years were unintentionally investigated and dealt with by these people.For example: the lone thief Fan Liang appeared in Chenliu disguised as a hunchbacked pockmark; the massacre of the Hu family in Xiangyang was carried out by Cai Mao's cousin's uncle.

These guys seem to have become tabloid reporters and paparazzi who specialize in snooping on people's privacy.

In addition to these lace news, of course there are many useful military affairs, such as the marching speed and marching route of Cao Cao's counterattack at Guandu, which were passed back to me without omission.

"Cao Cao has arrived at Sishuiguan." I squeezed the letter paper in my hand like a dead snake. "If Yuyu and Xu Shu go well, our army will confront Cao again at Guandu." Opposite me are Jushou and Jia Xu.

I have sent Feng Li to replace Ju Shou to guard Li Yang.

Ju Shou said: "Yangwu's guard is Zhuge Dan. This man is Zhuge Jin's clan brother. He has been trained in the court since he was a child, and he is familiar with the art of war. He is steady and unsmiling. He has a way of fighting. Shou once had a relationship with him. Yuan is an extremely powerful character."

"Zhuge Dan, Zhuge Dan—" I read a few words silently, it is indeed a difficult character to deal with.There is no one with the surname Zhuge.Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Yun, Zhuge Dan, Zhuge Zhan.The Three Kingdoms era created so many heroes of the Zhuge family in decades, and the surname Zhuge has become a symbol of wisdom.

"Know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles. Pass the news to Xu Yuanzhi and tell him to deal with it carefully. I don't believe that after the fall of Baima and Yanjin, you can still be stumped by the small Yangwu County!"

Even Jia Xu said, "Forgive me that a small city can't block Xu Yuanzhi's way. My lord can rest assured. Let's think about how to fight the second battle of Guandu well."

Jushou still had the original opinion; "Just let Zhang He's army cross the river, and the rest will be stationed in Liyang to wait and see the development of the situation. If the battle of Guandu is won, then there will be a retreat at the Shishui Pass if it is defeated. And it can shorten the transportation route.”

I said: "Okay, let Hao Zhao's independent ballista division follow to cross the river, and we will also cross the river with Zhang Yun's first army. The second, third, fourth, and fifth armies are all stationed in Liyang, waiting for orders."

Xu Shu was very anxious when he learned that it was Zhuge Dan who guarded Yangwu. He was very familiar with this person. He had also studied under Pang Degong before. He was very talented and had both cultural relics. He was one of the young talents in Nanyang.Moreover, the two of them talked about the world together, implying that he had a certain understanding of Xu Shu's strategies and tactics.Xu Shu understood his temperament, and he was honest and somewhat biased. Even eight cows could not be pulled back, and it was impossible for him to surrender.That person can't laugh, obeys the precepts, and is meticulous in training soldiers. If he says he will be beheaded, he will be beheaded. If he says he will reward you with 100 taels of silver, it will never be 99 taels.Because he was able to share joys and sorrows with the soldiers with clear rewards and punishments, he said that he had great prestige in the army, and the soldiers were emotionally willing to die for him.He is much better than Liu Yanzhi and his ilk.
