Chapter 33 Siege Wei to save Zhao
Yu Ban, who was directing his subordinates to shrink the encirclement, was also stunned, and immediately ordered to stop assisting the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Guard Battalion and the Qingzhou soldiers, and to line up with Lu Bu while facing Zhonglu.
Cao Cao looked left and right, there were only a hundred Wuwei battalions around him, and the generals were either still in Xiapi to clean up Lu Bu's tens of thousands of troops, or they would rush to the battle group to deal with Lu Bu.
At the critical moment, Xu Chu was killed from the war group on a horse, and a general was originally tied behind the horse, but when he saw that the situation was critical, he threw the man halfway. The fast horse rushed to Cao Cao's side and asked urgently: "Lord, what should I do, do you retreat?" β
Cao Cao glanced at Cao Zi Daxu behind him, and smiled bitterly: "Retreat at this time, Dian Wei, Xu Huang, Cao Chun, Yu Ban and others will be in danger, do you see the speed of Zhang Xiu's cavalry, they are all light horses." I've heard that he has a cavalry of Qianghu archers under his command, and I guess they are coming. β
Cao Jun actually has a big side of the word "Han", but now he is under the city of Xiapi. In the distance, Zhang Xiu saw Cao Zi Daxu, and was immediately overjoyed, and ordered Hu Che'er beside him: "Don't go to save Lu Bu, surround that hill for me, just don't shoot arrows yet!" β
Hu Che'er immediately gave instructions to the cavalry around him in Hu language, and a group of Ziqiang Hu cavalry immediately shouted and shouted, and the horse let go of the speed and ran towards the hill.
Cao Cao was fighting in his heart, and when he saw that Lu Bu's army and Zhang Xiujun saw Zhang Xiujun on the battlefield, his morale was revived, and Cao Cao almost ordered Lu Bu to be released. But the next moment, he saw the direction of Xiapicheng again, and the Cao Jun infantry riders of the brigade were marching in a hurry, so he instantly changed his mind and ordered the people around him: "Give the whole army a general order, don't attack Zhang Xiujun first, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" β
He said to Xu Chu again: "You hurry up to the battlefield and call Cao Chun to cut down Lu Bu with Dian Wei quickly, if this person is saved by Zhang Xiu, he will definitely give Zhang Xiu wings like a tiger!" β
Xu Chu was still hesitating, but Cao Cao kicked Xu Chu: "Hurry up!" I'll join the Forbidden Army with you! β
Fortunately, Cao Cao made a quick decision. It was just a cup of tea, and Zhang Xiu's five thousand light horsemen had already surrounded the hill where Cao Cao's Daxu was located.
Zhang Xiu also saw the Cao army brigade coming from a distance, and knew that he couldn't delay, so he immediately stepped out and shouted: "Where is Cao Sikong, I am Zhang Wenjin, the general of the Han Pingkou, and I also ask Cao Sikong to come out and meet!" β
Naturally, no one paid attention to Zhang Xiu, only the crows in the sky chirped a few times.
The first time Zhang Xiu came forward, he ended up with such an embarrassing result. His face suddenly felt that he could boil eggs, but fortunately, his face was flushed after a rush, and others couldn't see it.
It wasn't until a military marquis next to him picked up a tied general Lu Bujun that Zhang Xiu's embarrassment was broken.
Cao Cao, who was hiding in the forbidden formation, quietly observed Zhang Xiu. He is only thirty years old, has a tiger-headed golden gun in hand, has a heroic appearance, and is born with a good skin.
Lu Bu also saw clearly that it was Zhang Xiu at this time, and shouted while dealing with the attacks of Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Cao Chun: "Zhang Wenjin save me!" β
Zhang Xiu also saw Lu Bu. At this time, Lu Bu was far from Lu Fengxian, the unrivaled warrior under Dong Zhuo's account in his memory, and he was extremely embarrassed. It's long gone Xichuan robe or something, although the martial arts are still the same, but you can vaguely see the heroic twilight created by the years, wine and setbacks.
It's just that Zhang Xiu didn't rush to save Lu Bu, and seeing that there were only ordinary soldiers on the hill, Zhang Xiu ordered to leave 1,000 light cavalry and slowly approach the battlefield with 4,000 light cavalry.
Cao Cao immediately glanced at the main force of his own army that was still in the distance, and immediately stroked his sword and rode out of the battle formation, and shouted at Zhang Xiu: "Zhang Xiu, since you are the general of Pingkou in the Han court, why did you come to save Lu Bu, a chaotic minister and thief?" β
Zhang Xiu finally saw Cao Cao. Compared with Cao Cao, who he saw in Tiger Prison Pass several years ago, today's Cao Mengde is less rebellious and more unfathomable. No matter from which angle you look at it, Cao Cao is full of the breath of a superior and the aura of a king.
That's right, it's the spirit of a king. Zhang Xiu's unattainable kingly bearing.
Zhang Xiu straightened his chest slightly, and raised his spear to stop the pace of the cavalry behind him. He threw the spear to Zhou Cang beside him, and rode towards Cao Cao alone.
Cao Cao's face remained unchanged, and he immediately rode out to meet Zhang Xiu.
The two stopped at a distance of ten paces, and Zhang Xiu bowed to Cao Cao first: "Cao Sikong, I'm not here to save Lu Bu, I'm just here to help Cao Sikong's Wang Shi and recover Xuzhou!" β
Cao Cao pointed at the light cavalry of the 1,000 embroidered troops who were still surrounding the hill with a horsewhip: "Since you didn't come to save Lu Bu, then why did you surround my Daxu just after you came?" β
Zhang Xiu hugged his fists again and said: "Cao Sikong misunderstood, I just saw the dust in the north, and I was afraid that Cao Sikong's 100 warriors would not be able to protect Daxu, so I came to guard it!" β
Cao Cao was noncommittal: "That's my army in the north, Wen Jin doesn't have to worry about it, if you have the heart, it's better to think about how to solve Lu Bu for me." β
Zhang Xiu glanced at Lu Bu, who was still being besieged by the three of them, and secretly said in his heart, Lu Xiaoqiang, how can you still be so capable. His face remained unchanged and said: "Lu Bu is the end of the strong crossbow, don't worry!" β
"It's just that Zhang Xiu has something to ask for, Lu Bu is the head of the thief, and he will be punished. It's just a group of his subordinates, but they're just thieves. The thieves will not die, and I hope that Cao Sikong will spare their lives for the sake of Zhang Xiu's small achievements! β
Cao Cao secretly laughed in his heart, Zhang Xiu was innocent: "What do you do?" Previously exterminated the puppet emperor Yuan Shu, I have already helped you to go to the court and named you one of the Siping generals. And now what credit do you have? β
Zhang Xiu was surprised: "Cao Sikong hasn't gotten the news yet?" β
Cao Cao was confused, and Zhang Xiu had to turn around and shout to his cavalry: "Bring over the letter rider who accidentally fell off his horse on the road under Cao Sikong." β
A cavalryman with a blue nose and swollen face who looked like a soldier of Cao Junxin was brought over, and the letter rider handed Cao Cao a bamboo slip made of cloth and silk as a sleeve. On the cloth, there are six big characters of "Xu Du Xun Wen Ruofeng".
Cao Cao opened the cloth and looked at the bamboo slips twice, then laughed and said with the bamboo slips in his hand: "Zhang Wenjin, you casually found someone to pretend to be our army's letter horseman, and falsely claimed that you have 100,000 troops to march into Xuchang, and you don't take me Cao Mengde too seriously, right?" β
Zhang Xiu smiled indifferently: "Could it be that Cao Sikong can't recognize Xun Yu's handwriting?" If you still don't believe me, then please wait a moment, my scout said that Mr. Xun Yu sent three messenger horses. This time it should have arrived. β
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Cao Cao didn't think it would delay him. As long as he can drag it until the main force of the army arrives, or Dian Wei and them kill Lu Bu, he Cao Mengde will win.
A short time later, a letter rider galloped from the west and handed Cao Cao a bamboo slip that was exactly the same as just now.
The content in it was no different from what Fang had just seen, and Cao Cao was a little moved.
Until his own army came to ride again, it was Guo Jia himself. He handed Cao Cao the third eight-hundred-mile urgency, but this time it was replaced with a silk book that was convenient to hide.
Cao Cao directly threw the silk book to Zhang Xiu, and said angrily: "This is what you call 'credit'?" Is it to send 100,000 troops to attack Xuchang? Actually Ji Ling of Yuan Shu's old department is still a general? β
Zhang Xiu had long expected Cao Cao's reaction and smiled. Turning to Guo Jia, he asked, "I don't know who this is?" β
Guo Jia still maintained the demeanor of a scribe and bowed back: "Presumably, the general is Zhang Xiu, the general of Pingkou." I'm just a tasteless and unranked military advisor sacrificial wine. β
Zhang Xiu's pupils dilated suddenly, and his hand unconsciously rested on the hilt of the sword.
That's right, Zhang Xiu's first reaction was to kill Guo Jia, not for his own use.
What does Guo Jia say, he is the kind of diehard party who recognizes Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu thinks that he can't accept this person's heart, at least not if he can't.
Guo Jia also noticed the abnormality, but continued to smile. Zhang Xiu knew that it was not the right time, and he might not be able to beat Cao Cao. So he said: "How can Cao Sikong say that, Xuchang is now the capital of my Han Dynasty, and I am a general from other counties, how dare I covet it?" Didn't the letter make it clear, I sent 100,000 people just to escort the jade seal of the country back to Ouchi, that's all! β
Cao Cao snorted coldly: "Who sent something and sent 100,000 horses?" β
Zhang Xiu explained unhurriedly: "It's just that this thing is not ordinary, it is a national jade seal!" After this jade seal was taken back by me from Yuan Shu, it was placed in the Shouchun Palace built by Yuan Shu. Moreover, the palace was empty, only 3,000 armor soldiers guarded day and night. I'm really afraid that I will lose the important weapon of this country again. This time I returned the jade seal, I am really afraid of the thieves on the road, and the Jingzhou Liu Biao is greedy, and it will be very bad if he robs him halfway! β
"And Cao Sikong should also know, especially that Liu Biao, who has a history of robbing the jade seal! When Sun Jian passed through Jingzhou, Liu Biao colluded with Yuan Shao, set up an ambush halfway, and yin Sun Jian. This time, I'm really afraid that he will be ambushed on the peninsula! β
"And Cao Sikong must know that I Huainan was initially decided, and I shouldn't have been mobilizing troops. It's just that I, Zhang Xiu, am loyal to the Han court, and I'm really afraid that the jade seal will be lost, and I am ashamed of the current emperor! Therefore, 100,000 elite soldiers and strong generals in Huainan were dispatched, led by Ji Ling, an old cadre. In addition, the Guanglu doctor Jia Xu enshrined the jade seal, the generals Qiao Rui, Zhang Xian, and Lei Xu were in charge, and the fierce general Li Feng was personally escorted. Although it is said that Ji Lingqiao Rui and Li Feng are both the old department of Yuan Shu, this time it is also to let them make meritorious service and atone for their sins, showing their respect for the Han Dynasty! β
Speaking of which, Zhang Xiu already looked like he was inviting merit, and Cao Cao almost scolded. Are you asking for credit? This threat is too blunt!
Guo Jia suddenly spoke: "General Zhang, the supply of grain and grass for these 100,000 horses is a few days. But I heard that Huainan has recently stopped distributing grain to officials, where will the grain and grass supply the 100,000 army? General Zhang shouldn't do anything to rob the people, otherwise, hehe, according to the Han law, all the people of Wanghua and the looters can be regarded as rebellions! β
Zhang Xiu smacked his mouth: "Oh, Mr. Guo almost forgot if he didn't say it." Since June in Huainan, there has been a famine in the mountains. And although Huainan has entered the rainy season this year, there has not been a drop of rain so far, and I am afraid that there will be a drought! So it is true that all officials have suspended the distribution of salaries, and only the rations are kept. β
"But my 100,000 horses can be regarded as a royal master, because most of them are the old Yongliang department where I conquered Yuan Shu. And this time I left home to go on the expedition, also to escort the jade seal of the country, and for the king's business! Therefore, without Cao Sikong's approval, Zhang Xiu had ordered General Ji Ling to directly open the treasury of Yuzhou counties and counties along the line to provide grain, and strictly ordered not to disturb the people. Don't eat Cao Sikong's newly harvested grain, try to pick old grain to eat. Cao Sikong should be able to understand, right? Of course, until now, the court of Xun Yuxun's left-behind representatives has acquiesced! β
Cao Cao wanted to draw his sword and stab Zhang Xiu to death at this time, and even Guo Jia's white face was blackened.
"Therefore, I also hope that Cao Sikong will spare the lives of a few of Lu Bu's subordinates for the sake of our 'respectful and respectful' return of the imperial court jade seal. Lu Bu's order was disposed of with Cao Sikong. β
At this time, the Cao army brigade in the distance was already approaching. Several generals of the Cao army were one step ahead and quickly came to protect Cao Cao.
Cao Cao glanced at Lu Bu, who was still trapped and fighting, and hesitated for a while. It's just that he suddenly saw Xiahou Yuan, Li Dianlejin, Lu Qian and others who came to help, and they were all injured, and they were surprised: "What's the matter?" β
Guo Jia coughed: "Uh, this, I haven't had time to report it to Cao Gongyu." The three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang wanted to kill Chen Yuanlong, and General Xiahou Yuan and Li Dian and other generals tried their best to resist. Coupled with the persuasion of Xun You and me, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang finally 'surrendered to Han but not Cao'. β
