In Wanxian County, Zhong Xuan, who is fifty years old, is sitting in the house.
It was almost night, and he was still holding a pile of silk books and looking at them.
Seeing his appearance like this, the little official on one side said worriedly:
"Zhong Gong, it's time to eat, you've been watching it for a day!"
Hearing this, Zhong Miao raised his head, shook his head with a somewhat solemn face, and said:
"Juda, you go eat first!"
"I've been busy here all day, and you must be hungry too!"
Juda is the word of the small official, his real name is Xiang Lang, a native of Xiangyang, after Zhong Xiang took office as the Taishou of Nanyang, he was transferred to Wanxian County to assist Zhong Xiang in handling government affairs.
Seeing Zhong Xuan like this, Xiang Lang persuaded:
"Zhong Gong doesn't eat, how dare Xia Guan use it first. "
"Zhong Gong has been busy all day, what is it all about?"
Facing Xiang Lang's question, Zhong Xuan looked at the silk book on the table and said:
"The old man is estimating how much food our army will lose and how many people need to be appeased after this incident. "
As he spoke, he picked up a military report:
"Although there is news from the military division, even if our army is prepared, the Cao army will come too quickly!"
"As soon as this grain was ripe, Cao Jun had already arrived. "
"No matter how fast our army grabs, Cao Cao still robbed the grain of several counties!"
"At least half of the grain and grass in Nanyang have not been harvested. "
"If Cao Cao takes advantage of the fact that he is going south now, I am afraid that our army will not be able to fill this hole this year!"
Listening to Zhong Xuan's emotion, Xiang Lang said in a deep voice:
"This time Cao Jun's intentions are sinister, our army has done its best, Zhong Gong doesn't have to worry so much!"
"Don't worry!"
Zhong Xuan put it down, got up and sighed in his hand:
"I was a person who fled, and I was trusted by the Ming Gong and entrusted Nanyang with the important task of guarding it. "
"Now I see that Cao Jun is destroying the foundation of our army, but he is powerless to resist, and I am deeply ashamed!"
"Even if Cao Jun retreats, Nanyang is protected, and a refugee is born in the coming day, it is also our crime!"
Seeing this, Xiang Lang sighed again since 403, but then raised his head and said:
"Duke Zhong, although we are powerless, but now the new military advisor of the lord is the governor of Jingzhou. "
"Since the Governor has informed us in advance to deal with it, there must be a way to deal with it!"
Hearing this, Zhong Xuan's mind recalled the radiant young man he saw for the first time, but then he shook his head and sighed:
"Although the governor has a genius military strategy, when he replied to the letter that day, he was still returning. "
"Even if we speed up, it will take more than ten days to come by water. "
"Even if the Governor had the power to reach the sky, it would be impossible for him to arrive so quickly with reinforcements. "
"When the governor comes, I'm afraid the enemy army will have already left with grain and grass!"
It's not that he doesn't trust Xiao Zhe's ability, but that's how the march is, especially when leading a large army, there are tens of thousands of troops, and it is impossible to arrive quickly.
When Xiang Lang heard this, he shook his head and lost hope, then thought for a while, then raised his head and said:
"No matter what, the meal has to be eaten, Zhong Gong is waiting here, and the next official will go and get some!"
Without waiting for Zhong Xuan to refuse, he walked towards the back hall.
Seeing this, Zhong Xuan had to smile and return to his seat, but when he went to Langcai, he saw a general outside the mansion hurriedly rushing and said:
"Zhong Gong, good news, the Governor has arrived outside the city!"
The person who came was Li Yan, after Xiao Zhexi went to Xiangyang, Wu Jing sat in Xiangyang, and ordered Li Yan and Li Tong to go north to help defend Nanyang.
Zhong Xuan listened and said in surprise:
"The Governor has already led the army to arrive?"
Surprised, he was happy again, and hurriedly asked:
"How many men did the Governor bring, and where are they now?"
But he was like this, Li Yan hesitated a little and said:
"The governor has brought more than 2,000 cavalry, and now he is outside the city, so people can come and give orders!"
"Only more than 2,000 cavalry?"
When Zhong Xuan heard this, his joy suddenly dissipated, and he sighed:
"More than 2,000 riders, what can you do!(ajcf)"
Seeing this, Li Yan hurriedly admonished:
"Zhong Gong, although there are only more than 2,000 reinforcements, but the governor alone can reach tens of thousands of soldiers and horses!"
"Now that the governor himself has a plan to break the enemy, and now the order is coming, I just have to follow it!"
"What orders did the Governor have?"
Zhong Xuan looked at Li Yan and asked:
"How are you going to act?"
Li Yan hurriedly handed over the silk book containing Xiao Zhe's order and said:
"The Governor simply sent him and handed it to us, and ordered our army to do what was planned. "
"Nothing else!"
Seeing this, Zhong Xuan took the silk book and looked at it, and suddenly looked different:
"Governor is ......"
He didn't say the rest of the words, obviously shocked by what was written on the silk book.
Li Yan naturally hadn't read the silk book, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked:
"Gong Zhong, what does the Governor want us to do?"
As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhong Jian put the silk book down, and there was already a trace of firmness on his face:
"Go and inform General Li Tong to come to discuss the matter!"
"Our army has to move tonight!"
When Li Yan heard this, his heart sank, but then he arched his hand and took the order.
It was night, outside Wancheng, Cao Jun's camp.
As the night wore on, Cao's defenses became tighter.
This time, in order to cut grain and grass as soon as possible, Cao Cao divided his troops into several routes, and Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, Le Jin, and Yu Ban each ordered 5,000 men and horses to harvest grain and grass separately.
All the collected grain and grass were gathered in the middle of the place, and Cao Hong led 12,000 troops to garrison it.
And he took the remaining nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters to camp twenty miles outside Wan County.
After patrolling the camp, Cao Cao came to the big tent and said to Xun You and Xi Xian:
"This Wancheng is really worthy of being Nanyang Jiancheng, with a radius of several miles of city walls, all of which are five or six zhang high. "
"If our army wants to storm this city, I don't know how many soldiers and horses will be killed and wounded. "
Listening to Cao Cao's emotion, Xun You nodded and said:
Therefore, Sun Jian arranged for Zhong Yuan to come and garrison this place, with the height of the city wall, coupled with Zhong Xuan's garrison, there is no 100,000 army, and he does not want to capture this city. "
Hearing this, Xi Xian sighed on the side:
"It's a pity that Zhong Xuan reacted too quickly this time, otherwise this fortified city would be owned by our army!"
"With this city, our army's back road can be protected, and there is no need to worry about Sun Jian's army in the future. "
As soon as he heard this, Lao Cao said strangely again:
"How do you know about our army's intentions?"
He looked at Xun You with a puzzled expression:
"Could it be that this Zhong Xuan is also a person who is good at scheming?" (If you read a violent novel, you can go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Hearing this, Xun You shook his head and said:
"No, although Zhong Yuanchang has the ability to change, he is not good at scheming. "
"There is a wise man under Sun Jian, named Guo Jia, who is also an old friend of ours. "
"But Guo Jia is also Sun Jian sent troops this time!"
"That's strange, how can Zhong Xuan see through our army's plan!"
Cao Cao still can't accept the reality.
But Xi Xian reminded:
"My lord, the people of Jingzhou are outstanding, and maybe there are other strange people!"
"If there really are such people, then our army must be more vigilant. "
"Compared to tonight, our army has only arrived at the city of Wancheng, and we have to guard against the enemy's night attack!"
Seeing that Xi Xian mentioned the night attack, Cao Cao suddenly laughed and said:
"Zhicai, don't worry, even if the enemy army comes to attack at night, it won't be able to attack our army's camp!"
He himself is an expert in night raids, can he still be pecked by geese all day long!
Xi Xian saw that Cao Cao had taken precautions, so he no longer persuaded him.
But at this moment, I suddenly heard a shout from outside the camp:
"Lord, there is an abnormality in the enemy Wancheng!"
As he spoke, a soldier ran toward the camp.
Hearing this, Cao Cao's body was suddenly shocked, and he hurriedly asked:
"What a change, report quickly!"
The soldier hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said:
"Lord Qiqi, our army spies have found that thousands of soldiers and horses have just traveled to the north from within the city!"
"About three thousand!"
"What, the enemy sent 3,000 troops to the north?"
Cao Cao listened, he was a little confused for a while, he thought that the enemy army was really attacking at night!
But after thinking for a while, he frowned, looked at the two strategists, and said:
"Two gentlemen, what are the enemy forces going to do?"
Xun You and Xi Xian are naturally also blind, now that their army is outside the city, what can three thousand people do?
After thinking for a while and not coming up with a reason, Xi Xian said in a deep voice:
"No matter what the enemy army is, this move is extraordinary, and our army must step up its defense!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he hurriedly got up and shouted outside the camp:
"Come, order the patrol soldiers in the camp to be on guard, and do not let any enemy troops approach our barracks!"
After arranging it, Lao Cao suddenly felt a little weird, and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back and said:
"It's so strange, how can it be such a strange thing today!"
"First of all, Zhong Xuan was on guard in advance, and then Wancheng is moving now!"
"What can these 3,000 soldiers and horses do when they go out?"
Xun You and Xi Xian listened, thinking hard, and they were also puzzled for a while.
But before they could think for long, they heard a shout outside the tent:
"Report, lord, about 3,000 men and horses have traveled out of Wancheng and headed south!"
"Huh?
Cao Cao paused and looked at Xun You and Xi Xian.
Seeing this, the two immediately looked at each other, if the three thousand people at the beginning could explain what special tasks they might have, then what is the matter with the three thousand now?
While the three were thinking, the soldier reported again:
"Report, lord, the enemy army sent 3,000 troops again, marched out of Wancheng, and went to the west!"
This time, Xun You and Xi Xian couldn't sit still!
Three dispatches, it has reached as many as 9,000 people!
What are these soldiers going to do?
Cao Cao hurriedly ordered:
"Send spies to follow quickly, and be sure to find out where these centaurs are!"
When the soldier heard this, he took the order and left.
The people were left alone in the tent for a while.
"According to our army's intelligence, there are at most more than 20,000 people in the city!"
After thinking for a while, Xun You said in a deep voice:
"Now there are 9,000 people, the enemy's move is by no means ordinary, there must be some big scheme!"
"But what does the enemy want to do?"
Cao Cao only felt that his head was about to burst, and he couldn't figure out what the situation was at the moment.
Hearing this, Xi Xian pondered for a moment and said:
"If our army sends more men and horses, if we can defeat these soldiers and horses, then our army can have the advantage!"
But when Xun Yu heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said:
"It's dark and the road is far away, who can be sure that there is no ambush on the road?"
"We only know where these soldiers and horses are going, but what they are going to do on the road, our army has no idea, and we must not move lightly. "
"What should our army do?"
Cao Cao only felt irritable for a while, this feeling that he knew that the enemy army was moving, but they didn't dare to move, was really a bit abrasive!
When he asked like this, he saw Xun You pacing back and forth with a solemn face:
"Now the enemy army is acting strangely, and it is not at all like Zhong Yuanchang's style of acting. "
"According to the opinion below, it seems that a person would act like this!"
Hearing Xun You's words, Xi Xian's expression was shocked, and he suddenly spoke:
"Gongda, you mean... Xiao Zhe?"
And Cao Cao listened to this name, his heart chuckled, and his face changed:
"Xiao Zhe's little leader is here?"
For a moment, he only felt a chill behind him, as if a ghost was staring behind him.
Acting so weirdly, who else can there be besides Xiao Zhe!.
