Chapter 337: Chen Deng's Return
After Guo Jia and Xun You finished shouting in the valley, they didn't say much, but just stood quietly on the mountain, closing their eyes, as if feeling the cool wind blowing from the sky.
Xun You quietly looked at Guo Jia's pretending to be an egg in the mountains in the distance for a while, and planned for a long time in his heart, and finally sighed, and ordered to the captain Chen Zhong: "Withdraw the troops, and withdraw the troops back to Yanzhou for the time being." ”
Chen Zhong was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Strategist, let's ...... Don't go to save General Xiahou? ”
Xun You was silent for a long time, then shook his head, and said: "General Miaocai is very brave and good at using soldiers, even if he is surrounded for a while, he may not be able to get out of the big disaster, but if we rush over in a daze, we will really fall for Guo Fengxiao's plan!" ”
Speaking of this, Xun You once again glanced deeply at Guo Jia in the distance, and there was a trace of inexplicable melancholy in his heart.
Xun You also knew that at this moment, it was a little sad to give up to save Xiahou Yuan like this.
But with the wisdom of an opponent like Guo Jia, it is easy to make a wrong step and make a wrong step, Xiahou Yuan has been besieged by the Jinling army, if the ten thousand soldiers behind him are bad again, Xun You will really have no way to explain to Cao Cao in the future.
He can also gamble with Guo Jia now, but after weighing the pros and cons, Xun You found that he couldn't afford to gamble with the surname Guo.
In case of gambling and annihilation, will it be difficult for him to go back to Yanzhou to apologize to Cao Cao for his death?
Okay, let him do it this time.
Xun You once again sternly ordered Chen Zhong: "Retreat!" ”
"No......"
Seeing that Xun You's soldiers and horses began to retreat slowly, Guo Jia, who had always been light and smiling, slowly put away his smiling face, and let out a long sigh of relief, with a relaxed look.
In fact, there were really no ambushes in the valley, and there were only a hundred fast horses behind him, which were used just in case to protect Guo Jia at a critical moment and escape quickly.
In order to encircle and annihilate Xiahou Yuan and others, the pottery merchants have sent all the elites of the Jinling army, and there are no extra soldiers and horses to stop Xun You.
The 20,000 Cao soldiers under Xiahou Yuan's command had relatively high combat strength, and there were many cavalry, so they could not deal with him unless the Jinling army sent all their strength.
Therefore, Guo Jia also adopted such bets and strategies when there was no way.
Watching Xun You's soldiers and horses gradually disappear from his field of vision, Guo Jia felt somewhat happy in his heart.
Everyone has their own character, this time it is more or less their luck, and what they met was in Yingchuan Zhuyou, whose personality and thoughts were relatively calm and gentle.
Xun You, although he is good at scheming, once he fails, he is also a person who can afford to let go.
If the person who came today was Cheng Yu, who had a ruthless personality and was unconvinced, or a drama talent who was better at figuring out people's hearts than Guo Jia, there might not be such a result.
……
Xun You's soldiers and horses slowly retreated and evacuated to Yanzhou, while the potters took Xiahou Yuan and defeated 20,000 Cao soldiers.
The Cao army under the command of Xiahou Yuan suffered many casualties under the siege of the Jinling army on three sides, and the rest were all scattered.
The pottery merchant did not kill Xiahou Yuan, although Xiahou Yuan was a general, considered an opponent of the Jinling army, but he was also a relative of Cao Cao, and if he was killed now, it would accelerate the drastic changes in the relationship between the two sides, so that the situation would develop in a bad direction for Xuzhou.
Therefore, it is more advantageous to detain him and use him as a condition for his future negotiations with Cao Cao.
After the victory of the potters, the Jinling army immediately switched its forces and quickly conquered Suiyang City, the seat of Liang Guozhi, which was not garrisoned by horses.
After entering Suiyang City, and then ordering someone to carefully count the materials in the city, the potter and Guo Jia were surprised to find that the money storehouse, grain storehouse, and arsenal in the city had been carried by Xun You, and there was not even a single slag.
As for the rest of the things that could not be moved, Xun You burned them very directly, and he didn't do anything badly, and he didn't leave anything for the Jinling army.
In the face of Xun You's resolute, shrewd and resolute approach, the potter gave him full affirmation and evaluation in front of his subordinates - the surname Xun is really too special, you must not learn from him.
But there's another thing that's a big headache right now.
After laying down the governance of Liang Guo, what should be the next step? This is the urgency of the delay.
Not to mention the potter, even Guo Jia is a little uncertain.
According to the previous statement, Chen Qi asked the pottery merchants to take advantage of this war to find a way to welcome the Son of Heaven from Puyang to Fan County, and strip away Cao Cao's political influence.
The idea is very good, but how to operate it at the moment is a difficult problem for the potter.
After all, Cao Cao's current movements are still relatively unpredictable, if the Jinling army really goes to fight Puyang, if it is really killed by the Cao army's headquarters during the period, and the whole falls into Yanzhou, it will be more than worth the loss.
Just when the potter and Guo Jia were undecided, Chen Deng, who had been lobbying Chen Gong and Zhang Miao in Yanzhou, rushed to Suiyang City.
Chen Deng was surprised by the Taoshang's move to send troops to defeat Suiyang City, and he didn't understand why the Xuzhou army, which should be in the Shou clan at this time, would counterattack and break through the Liang State in one fell swoop?
Cao Cao's ten soldiers and horses in the Liang State are all waste?
With doubts in his heart, Chen Deng came to Liang State, and as soon as he saw the potter, he hurriedly invited the potter to report to him.
"Fujun, the big thing is decided! Chen is in Dongjun, and Chen Gong and Zhang Miao, who have already persuaded the leaders of the Yanzhou scholars, have already contacted the leaders of the scholars who are dissatisfied with Cao Cao's killing of Bian Rang in various departments in Yanzhou at the moment, and through the connection of the school office, they have contacted Li Dao, Guo Yan, Lu Bu, Zhang Ji and other Xiliang generals, just as soon as Cao Cao himself leaves Yanzhou, he will dislike the rebellion in Yanzhou and overthrow his government! ”
After Chen Deng finished reporting to the potter, he found that the potter's face was expressionless, and he did not show the slightest excitement.
The potter's desireless performance immediately confused Chen Deng.
No, I have made such a great achievement, why didn't the prince say anything.
Don't say it's a reward, why don't you even say a word of praise?
This is also too dismissive.
Thinking of this, Chen Deng couldn't help but pout.
Yuan Long's heart was a little injured.
Looking at Chen Deng's slightly resentful expression, Guo Jia was suddenly happy.
The prodigal son gently slapped the potter beside him with his elbow, and said in a low voice: "See, I'm a little unhappy, and the prince of the house is not happy to comfort me." ”
Only then did the potter react, he waved his hand, motioned for Chen Deng to sit down, and then got up himself and poured water for the water in front of Chen Deng.
"It is not easy for Yuanlong to go to Yanzhou to persuade the scholars, and the hard work is high, and Tao is very grateful for it, and he has worked hard."
Chen Deng took a closer look at the potter's face and said, "The words of the prince are not right, you are clearly more sad on your face, and there is no joy at all...... Also, our soldiers and horses didn't stick to Peijun, why did they defeat Suiyang? What happened during Chen's absence? ”
The potter chief sighed and said helplessly: "This matter is a long story...... In fact, someone made a statement to Tao, saying that Cao Cao's eastern crusade was not in Xuzhou, but wanted to take advantage of this incident in Xuzhou to completely clear the territory of Yanzhou, and the lurking rebellious forces led by Chen Gong and Zhang Miao and others, so in order to test Cao Bing, I made a plan with Guo Jia and captured Suiyang City......"
After that, the potter roughly told Chen Deng what Chen Jue said to him that day.
The more Chen Deng listened, the more angry he became.
Who's saying this?
It's really a trick!
Isn't this clearly telling the potter that his trip to Yanzhou this time is useless and purely superfluous?
Thinking of this, Chen Deng couldn't help but be indignant: "Who admonished the prince of the government for such a big fallacy!" It's just demagogy! Those who say such a fallacy should cut off the streets and abandon the market and wipe out the three clans! ”
The potter and Guo Jia looked at each other in surprise.
Chen Deng was indignant, and said with a chest bowing together: "Fujun, which bastard offered this misleading strategy?" ”
The potter stared at him and said quietly, "Your father is a bastard." ”
"What?" Chen Deng was stunned for a moment, and then said a little unhappily: "Fujun, why are you scolding!" ”
There was an awkward silence.
When he was young, Chen Dengfang reacted a little.
"My dad gave it?"
The potter and Guo Jia nodded vigorously together.
Chen Deng's face turned red and white, like a chameleon, and he became extremely beautiful in an instant.
After a while, I heard him whisper:
"Hmm...... In fact, if you think about it carefully, what this person who gave advice is quite reasonable, but it is really high. ”
The potter sighed faintly, raised his hand and nodded at Chen Deng's face, and said, "You are really hypocritical. ”
