Chapter 278: Winter Hunt (4)
Because Cao Cao led 10,000 soldiers and horses to escort him, Huaxing never dared to act rashly, so he could only follow behind him from a distance and chased all the way to the periphery of Xuchang.
thought that if he returned to his own territory, Cao Cao would take it lightly.
Unexpectedly, on the first day of the hunt, Cao Cao still brought 5,000 soldiers and horses with him.
Although it is less than half of the previous one, it is still extremely difficult for Huaxing.
Today's Huaxing Army is only 3,000 men and horses.
Once he started, he was really not sure that he would be able to win a complete victory, so Huaxing finally endured it.
Until last night, the scout captain Li Ang came late at night to report, saying that he had seen Xiahoudun lead 20,000 soldiers and horses out of the city overnight and go east.
And judging from the number of baggage trucks, they will definitely not be able to come back for a while.
Hearing this, Huaxing was overjoyed, and ambushed three thousand men and horses around the Xutian hunting ground that night.
The next day, seeing that Cao Cao really only brought 1,000 soldiers and horses with him, Huaxing had no worries and launched a surprise attack while the other party was taking a lunch break.
On the one hand, due to the suddenness of the incident, the enemy was defenseless; On the other hand, it is true that there is a big difference in the strength of the two sides.
Therefore, in just five minutes, all the 1,000 soldiers and horses led by Cao Cao were captured, and none of them escaped!
In order to cover up the attack on Shengshang, Hua Xing ordered his soldiers to change into Cao Jun's military uniforms and stand on the outskirts of the hunting ground.
In this way, even if someone passes through this place, they will not notice that there has been a battle here, and they will only think that the Holy One is still hunting......
After listening to Hua Xing's reply, Cao Cao nodded understandingly.
No wonder the timing of the other party's surprise attack was so accurate, it turned out that Huaxing had been following his ass all this time.
He had already figured out the arrangements of his own troops, so he would take advantage of the weakness to enter.
And Fu Wan, who was standing on the other side, looked confused, he couldn't understand how Huaxing did this.
Because in his understanding, they rushed to the hunting ground with 5,000 soldiers today.
Even if all the prisoners of war of the Youzhou Army are added, the Huaxing Army is only about 3,000 people, and it stands to reason that it is impossible to defeat the Cao Army so easily.
So after thinking about it, I finally came to only one conclusion:
That is, Cao Cao's 5,000 troops may still be at the outskirts of the hunting ground, and they have not yet discovered the arrival of Huaxing.
As long as these soldiers get close to the center of the hunting ground, they will be able to spot the anomaly and save the day.
Therefore, after figuring this out, Fu Wan's face was obviously much calmer than before, and his tone was not as panicked as just now:
"Hua thief, don't look at your majesty now, but when Cao Jun arrives, you will also be a turtle in the urn! So I advise you to hurry up and untie us, there is no need to be so 'nervous'. Don't you just want to discuss with the Holy One? Let's sit down and talk...... Wouldn't it be nice? ”
"Cao Jun? What Cao Jun? As soon as the words fell, I saw Hua Xing chuckle and said:
"Lord Fu, are you talking in your dreams? Except for the 1,000 soldiers outside, how can there be any Cao army? ”
"Humph! You ignorant child! Fu Wan snorted coldly and said contemptuously:
"Do you really think that when the Holy Lord goes out, he will only bring a thousand troops? I'll tell you the truth, at this moment, there are still 5,000 elite soldiers waiting on the outskirts of the hunting ground. It shouldn't be long before they find out what's wrong and surround them. In addition, in Xuchang City, General Cao's 20,000 troops are also on standby at any time. Once they find out that the situation is not right, they will soon arrive in Xu Tian. When the time comes, with your little strength, I'm afraid it won't even be enough to plug your teeth! So, I advise you to think twice and regret it later, but it's too late! ”
When Fu Wan said this, he was honest and swearing, and it felt like what he had seen with his own eyes.
If Hua Xing hadn't known about Cao Jun's situation, he might have been bluffed by the other party.
"Hehe, I said Lord Fu, can you stop acting? I'm waiting for you in Xu Tian before dawn, how many soldiers you brought with you when you came, can I not know? If there were 5,000 troops waiting outside the hunting grounds, do you think I would see you so easily? ”
After a chuckle, I heard Huaxing continue:
"In addition, the 20,000 troops in Xuchang City had already left the city last night. Judging from the direction of the march, most of them are going to support Dongjun, and they should all be in Chenliu at this time. You're counting on them to save you, huh, isn't that a bit unrealistic? ”
Regarding Huaxing's remarks, to be honest, Fu Wan actually didn't believe it.
But judging from the tone and attitude of the other party, he felt that Huaxing didn't feel like he was lying.
So, after hesitating for a moment, Fu Wan still looked at Cao Cao on the side, wanting to get some feedback from this main master.
Now, Cao Cao also knew that this matter must not be hidden, so he had to bow to Fu Wan and Liu Xie with an apologetic face:
"Alas! Last night, a report came from the front line, saying that Dongjun was lost, and Weichen was in a hurry, so he transferred the army to Yanzhou overnight. I thought there would be no accident, so I didn't mention it to the two, but I didn't expect to be caught by Huaxing. This matter, this matter...... It is indeed the fault of the minister, and the minister is guilty. However, please rest assured that Wechen will do his best to keep them safe. ”
If Cao Cao was outside the tent at the moment and had thousands of elite soldiers, some people might still believe him when he said this.
But now, even he himself has been kidnapped by Huaxing, what ability does he have to protect the other party?
So anyone can hear it, and this is just a word of comfort.
As soon as he heard that the reinforcements were no longer there, he was shocked when he finished the scene, stared at his eyes and asked:
"Huh? Then this morning, you said that the soldiers who came to the hunting ground in advance were also ......."
"Alas! That's right, that's fake too. There are only 1,000 soldiers left in Xuchang today, and most of them have been captured by Huaxing at this moment. So in a short time, I'm afraid no one will come to rescue us! ”
Cao Cao's words were like a basin of cold water falling from the sky, pouring out the hope of Fu Wan and Liu Xie in an instant!
If no one rescues them, then they will really become fish and meat on Huaxing's plate, and it is hopeless to turn over!
As soon as he thought of this, the eyes of the two of them dimmed in unison.
Seeing that the effect he wanted had been achieved, Hua Xing didn't say anything more, but ordered people to set up a few more tents in the hunting ground, and locked the six people in different "cells", planning to talk to each other one by one......
The main purpose of Huaxing's main purpose is to solve the dispute over the Yuanyuan vein.
Therefore, the first "prisoner" he wants to meet is today's saint - Liu Xie.
After taking two freshly grilled steaks from the fire, Hua Xing walked alone to the tent on the left.
