Chapter 289: Under the Yanshi City (1)

Cao Cao made up his mind to send troops to help Lu Bu,

Counterattack the four counties of Sili occupied by Yuan Shao.

This sudden move,

not only surprised Yuan Shao,

Hurriedly adjusted the deployment of the operation.

It also makes Yan Liangwen ugly,

Immediately I felt a huge pressure,

This is still in the process of sending troops,

None of them have ever fought against Lu Bujun,

As a result, he was attacked by Cao Cao's army first.

Not only did this group of guys choose the timing very well,

And it's simply a kraft candy that can't be shaken off,

made Yan Liangwen ugly, the two Hebei generals,

Empty of determination and strength to destroy the enemy's army,

But there is no way to take the other party.

And in this particular case,

Cao Cao's army actually chose to use this kind of tactics that harmed others and was not beneficial to himself.

This made Wen Chou feel extremely suspicious.

Wen Chou and Yan Liang glanced at each other,

all from each other's eyes,

Feeling that uneasiness,

"Uncle evil, if they really unite. Then we are in danger. ”

Yan Liang asked worriedly.

I can't help but worry about him,

The shadow of the Rao Ming Tree,

Lu Bu's fame resounded throughout Kyushu,

Although both of them are absolutely confident in their own strength,

But I also understand that

Either of the two of them,

It is impossible for Lu Bu to be the opponent alone.

Especially after Liu Bei joined Yuan Shao,

Although Yan Liangwen and Chou have always been in Sili Town,

and failed to communicate with the three of them.

But I heard other Rao comments,

and knew the three brothers,

There is indeed real talent and real learning,

Especially the red-faced second and black-faced third,

The strength may not be below the two brothers.

In this way,

The two of them joined forces to defeat Lu Bu,

This situation made the two brothers feel a little excited,

But if you add others,

Then there is only one way to run away.

After all, bravery and death are two different concepts.

Isn't that the case right now?

Wen Chou lowered his head and groaned for a long time,

Then he raised his head and said:

"Gongji, can the spies who go to Hedong and Hongnong be rewarded?"

Shaking his head, Yan Liang spoke:

"Hedong has now all fallen into the hands of Lu Bu's army, and they are holding the pass, almost completely cutting off the route of our army's counteroffensive."

After a pause, Yan Liang then spoke:

"Hangu Pass is fine, I just received a tip yesterday, and there was no fighting. Xu Huang led his troops to regain the counties in Hongnong, but many of them surrendered directly. If the speed is fast, it will be about fifteen days before the troops will come to Hangu Pass. ”

Wen Chou's thick eyebrows were tightly screwed together,

Suddenly stretched out,

There was a hint of relief on his face.

"Uncle evil?"

Yan Liang hurriedly asked.

After Wen Chou drank a glass of wine,

Only then did he reply:

"It seems that Lu Bu and Cao Cao are not of the same mind."

"What do you mean by that?"

Wen Chou smiled slightly,

It's just the smile of his ugly face,

It's even uglier than you can look at.

"Cao Cao is now fighting without fighting, retreating without retreating, dragging you and me in a cluster, obviously waiting for Lu Bu's reinforcements."

Yan Liang nodded when he heard this,

They both came to this conclusion.

"Yes."

Wen Chou's voice changed, and he continued:

At the moment, Lu Bu was fighting steadily and slowly, slowly recovering the entire territory of Hongnong, which obviously threw Cao Cao aside. Isn't that enough to prove that there is a dirty feud between the two? ”

Yan Liang immediately smiled,

Wen Chou's analysis really made him stunned,

Pick up the flask on the table,

As soon as he raised his head, he drank several large sips of wine in succession.

After drinking, exhale comfortably,

Yan Liang smiled at this time:

"Hahaha, that's very good, that uncle is evil, how should we do it?"

Wen Chou also poured himself a glass of wine,

After drinking, he spoke:

"Since the two of them are not so cooperative, we must take advantage of it. In this way, the whole army will begin to attack the city with all its strength and besiege Cao Cao's army tomorrow, and the reinforcements of the lord will arrive soon, and then it will be the end of Cao's army. A lone army, hum. ”

Wen Chou took another sip of wine,

Sneered:

"A certain family must let them have no return."

"Hahaha."

Yan conscience has a big heart,

Depression for a few days,

It seemed to be all gone at this moment.

Wen Chou continued:

"However, there must be no room for mistakes on the Hangu Pass, otherwise we will be in great danger."

Yan Liang said a little unconcernedly:

"Then Jiang Qi and Jiang Yiqu are also considered to be a great general, and he is also loyal to the lord, so he must not make too many mistakes, and he still has Jiang Hu under his command."

Wen Chou nodded, but still said seriously:

"Hopefully I'm overthinking, but I'm not wrong. In this way, I wrote to Jiang Yiqu, urging him to defend seriously. At the same time, Caoyang, Mianchi, and Xin'an were ordered to be strictly controlled, and once there was any trouble, they should immediately report the news to Yanshi. ”

Yan Liang nodded when he heard this,

As soon as he waved, the school secretary next to him immediately went out to give an order.

Wen Chou stood up and stomped a few steps,

Asked uneasily:

"How much do we have left?"

Yan Liang thought about it and replied:

"It's enough for the army for ten days."

"How many days will it take for Hangu to arrive at the detention of the grain and grass?"

"This time, the team escorting grain and grass should have already set off for two, and it will take about seven or so to reach Yanshi."

Wen Chou nodded his head,

The reason why there is no time is very certain,

It's because of this long-distance transportation,

There is a good chance that some unexpected situations will occur on the road,

Therefore, there is usually a surplus of time or two.

Wen Chou holds a wine bottle in his hand,

But the mind flew out,

I'm still thinking about the abnormality of the enemy.

Outside the tent, a cold wind blew the military tent,

The door of the tent was blown upside down,

This wind has been blowing,

Blowing all the time,

has been blowing to Yanshi City,

It blew to the county office in Yanshi City.

The wind passes through the doors and windows,

When it blows into the house, it has become insignificant,

A few sticks of butter wax writhed gently in the breeze,

The whole room was shaken.

There were several kneeling people in the official office,

Two men sitting on the Lord's seat,

There are seven points of resemblance in appearance,

A person's temperament is mighty and domineering,

The other is quite elegant,

These two people are Cao Cao's favorite generals,

Xiahou Yuan Xiahou Yuan brothers.

In this life, due to the appearance of Lu Bu's butterfly,

flapped his wings slightly,

This has caused a lot of deviations in historical events.

In the 18th chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Luo Dashen, it is written:

Xiahoudun faced Gao Shun, the general of Lu Bu, during the offensive and defensive battle in Xuzhou.

Gao Shun was defeated and fled, and Xiahoudun chased after him,

Unexpectedly, he was attacked by another enemy general, Cao Xing, with an arrow.

Xiahoudun was shot in the left eye,

He roared in pain and hurriedly drew the arrow with his hand,

but accidentally pulled out the eyeballs.

Xiahoudun immediately shouted:

"The blood of father and mother shall not be abandoned!"

He put his eyes in his mouth and swallowed them.

Then he rode his horse with a spear,

stepped forward and killed Cao Xing to avenge the revenge of one arrow.

This is the famous "Xiahou pulls out the arrow".

Although there are many apocryphal creative elements in the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms",

Therefore, the incident of "Xiahou swallowing eyes" should be purely fictional.

But because of the precision and tightness of this plot,

not only directly depicts Xiahoudun's bravery and fearlessness,

It also reflects the "body hair and skin, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and filial piety is the beginning." The traditional Confucian concept,

Therefore, it has always been loved by book people or general readers,

Over time, it has become a folk tradition passed down by word of mouth,

As a result, it strengthened the impression that the folk thought that Xiahoudun was strong and strong.

But whether or not this thing is true,

At least in this day and age,

It's unlikely that this story will come out anymore.

Xiahoudun's eyes were like electricity,

Glancing at the other people in the room,

Sitting on his knees opposite,

A man with a majestic countenance,

The steel needle beard shows the courage of this person,

The eyes are not big but they are bright,

This person is Cao Cao's brother - Cao Hong.

The other was fair-skinned,

With a gentle smile on his face,

But in those eyes,

But as if it contains the starry sky,

so that people can't help but always be unable to ignore him,

This is one of the 'five good generals' later called by Cao Cao,

It is forbidden to write the rules.

A smile appeared on Xiahoudun's serious face,

Slowly raise the wine bottle in your hand,

Speaking to the others, he said:

"You've worked hard these days, come, let's drink this cup together, please!"

"Big brother, please!"

"Brother Yuanrang, please!"

The three of them raised the wine bottle together,

Drink the water and wine in one gulp.

After Xia Houdun drank a glass,

Then he spoke:

"In the past few days, the two of Yan Liangwen and ugly have been tossed a lot, hahaha!"

Yu Banyi arched his hand and said:

"Thanks to Brother Xiahou sitting here."

Yu Ban finished this sentence,

But everyone's faces couldn't help but be a little embarrassed,

Yu Ban also realized that he had said something wrong at this time,

He's not a man who is good at slapping horses.

If you want to flatter,

But I never thought that I would shoot on the horse's leg.

Hurriedly raised a glass of wine,

Hide your face and drink it in one gulp,

It means to make amends for the wrong words.

And they all got along for a long time,

And they are all military generals,

I wouldn't be angry about such a thing,

In fact, there is no way to ban it.

Although he served Cao Cao for a long time,

But after all, it's not as good as the Xiahou brothers and Cao Hong,

They are all Cao Cao's own brothers.

And he was a general of Bao Xin at the beginning,

After Bao Xin's death, he was introduced to Cao Cao by Wang Lang,

After that, he followed Cao Cao to fight in the south and the north.

He has made many achievements.

And at this moment he has not yet reached that status,

Cao Cao can value him,

Mostly because of Bao Xin and Wang Lang,

Therefore, under Cao Cao's account,

I always feel inferior.

Xiahou Yuan opened his mouth at this time to relieve the siege:

"Big brother, Wen Ze just wants to have the eldest brother here, and our brothers have the backbone in their hearts."

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what the ban means."

Yu Ban hurriedly spoke.

Xiahoudun waved his hand,

said that he didn't care about it,

"That Yan Liangwen is ugly, worthy of being a first-class general under Yuan Shao. None of us would be their opponents if they were alone. ”

The faces of the three of them twitched a little when they heard this.

Xiahoudun put the wine bottle on the table,

attracted Sanrao's attention and said:

"But you don't need to worry, according to the current situation, we have achieved the desired goal."

Cao Hong suddenly spoke:

"Brother Yuanrang, eldest brother asked us to drag Yuan Jun in the cluster. Our brothers have worked hard, but can Lu Bu really do what they do? ”

Xiahoudun raised his eyebrows,

The tall and heroic man appeared in front of him again,

That night in the city of Luoyang,

Lu Bu left a deep impression on him,

And in his impression,

Cao Cao so far,

also only paid attention to Lu Bu.

remembered the past in Luoyang City,

The night we fought side by side,

Xiahoudun's eyes showed remembrance,

Slowly spoke:

"Zilian doesn't need to worry. Lu Bu is a believer, and he will not break his word and gain weight. ”

After a pause, he looked at Cao Hong and continued:

"What's more, doesn't Mr. Zhongde still have a follow-up move? Even if Yuan Shao wants to send troops to the rescue, I'm afraid it will not be easy. Now that we are invincible, we are afraid that it will do something! ”

Cao Hong listened, and a smile appeared on his face again,

After taking a sip of wine, he said lightly:

"Haha, Brother Yuan is doing well, but Hong is a little worried."

Xiahou Yuan frowned slightly, and then spoke:

"Zilian's is not unreasonable, and we also need to be prepared for both."

Xiahoudun heard that Xiahouyuan was the same,

After thinking about it, I felt that the two of them had to make sense,

Nodding his head, he said:

"So it is limited to ten days. If Lu Bu has never heard any news, we will not be in the cluster. What do you think? ”

The three of them glanced at each other,

And then invariably point to the fraction.

After the plan is decided,

The four of them did not continue to drink,

After all, it's still at war at the moment,

And every man went back to his tent to rest.

Early in the morning of the second day,

The morning sun slowly rises from the horizon,

snow on the ground,

In the light of the sun,

Rapidly dissolving,

The ground is a little slippery.

The gate of Yuan's military camp is opened,

A group of soldiers rushed out of the camp in high spirits.

Yesterday night,

Cao Cao's army didn't use the strategy of the tired army,

Thinking that it was a long period of exhaustion, they were also a little overwhelmed.

Many soldiers of Yuan's army,

I didn't hear the sound of gongs and drums from Yanshi City all night last night.

It's still a little uncomfortable,

But I finally slept peacefully,

Everyone is back to their best.

After a while, two generals with helmets and armor rode out of the camp on their horses.

Behind them,

On top of the two huge flags,

There are Yan and Wen characters that depict gold and go to the side,

Blowing in the north wind,

It was Yan Liang and Wen Chou who fought in person.

Yanshi City is also a big county,

The circumference of the city wall is about eight miles,

The whole city is rectangular,

The east and west are wide and the north and south are narrow,

The west city wall, that is, the city wall in front of Yuan's army,

It's about two and a half miles long.

The total number of Yuan troops is about 80,000,

So many soldiers,

In the process of siege,

It's bound to not be able to spread it all out,

Now there are about 20,000 Yuan troops,

Outside the Yanshi City, the formation is formed,

Yan Liang immediately stood at the front of the team,

It's about a hundred and fifty steps away from Yanshi City,

It's an absolutely safe distance.

Not even a trebuchet or a crossbow can reach this range.

"Wu Na Cao Jun, dare to come out and fight a certain family!"

Except for the fluttering banners on the city,

There was not a single response,

Or the same as for the usual days,

Anger flashed on Yan Liang's face,

Shouted loudly:

"Sons, give it to me!"
