Chapter 232 - Divide the troops to break through, the righteousness of the county
But it was said that after Cao Cao entered the city, he went straight to the county guard's mansion. When Cao Cao and his party arrived at the gate, they saw that Guo Jia and Xu Chu were already waiting at the door.
As soon as Guo Jia saw Cao Cao coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.
Cao Cao immediately dismounted and said: "Fengxiao has worked hard!" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare! My lord, please!" Guo Jia immediately took Cao Cao and the others into the mansion.
When everyone came to the lobby, they saw several large boxes in the middle of the lobby.
When the generals saw it, they all thought it was jewelry, and they all smiled from ear to ear.
"Lord, everything is in it, please check it out for yourself!" Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Good!" Cao Cao immediately drew his sword, cut the lock on it, and then opened the box.
I saw that the box was not filled with jewelry, but bundles of bamboo slips. When everyone saw this, they were all discouraged and didn't care.
Cao Cao was overjoyed and said, "This thing is worth a white box of jewelry!"
After everyone came out of the county guard's mansion, Cao Cao immediately drafted a document and ordered a list to appease the people, and the soldiers were not allowed to harass or take advantage of the fire to rob the people in the city.
After learning that Zhao Yun and others had broken through from the East Gate, Cao Cao immediately ordered Xu Chu and Xiahoudun to lead 8,000 men and horses to pursue the Chu army.
After the two received the order, they immediately gathered their troops and horses and went to pursue the fleeing Chu army.
…………
However, it was said that Zhao Yun and Niu Gao ran all the way to twenty miles outside the city, and then they met the Chu army who was resting here.
After hearing that Zhao Yun was safe and sound, everyone was naturally overjoyed.
At this moment, Guan Ying said, "Have any of you seen Fengxiao?" ”
When everyone heard this, they all shook their heads.
"Suffered! Could it be that Feng Xiao is still trapped in the city?!" The baby was immediately shocked.
When Zhao Yun heard this, he was going to pick up a gun and get on the horse and go to find Guo Jia.
At this moment, a few horsemen came from afar, and Guan Ying looked fixedly, it was Guo Jia's guards.
I saw a few horses galloping in front of the baby, and when he dismounted, he said: "Master Hou! That Guo Jianai is a spy of the Jiujiang Army! We've all been mistaken! ”
"How is this possible?!"
When everyone heard this, they looked incredulous.
"The villain doesn't dare to hide it in the slightest, then Guo Jia is indeed a spy!
The younger few people were originally ordered to protect Guo Jia. But after the city was broken, Guo Jia was gone! The little ones had to defend the county guard's house.
But when Guo Jia came back, he was followed by a large number of Jiujiang troops. The other brothers are dead, and a few of us are also desperately killed in order to report to the Hou Ye.
In the Ming Dynasty, the people in the county did not bring out the land and account books, and they were all occupied by the Jiujiang army. The soldier's words were full of sorrow.
"!"
When the baby heard this, he immediately clenched his fists in anger and hit the tree on the side. Shake all the leaves on the trees to the ground.
"Report! A large number of Jiujiang troops were found ten miles away, and they are now heading straight for this side!"
Just when the baby was furious, a scout came to report it to Pegasus. When everyone heard this, they all secretly screamed that it was not good.
"Alas, please don't be impatient, now the wood is ready. The top priority is to get rid of the Jiujiang Army first! Huang Zhong looked at the angry baby and said.
"Yes! Master Hou, the current question is how to get rid of the pursuers of the Jiujiang Army. Niu Gao on the side also said calmly.
Immediately the people gathered together to take counsel. In the end, it was decided to retreat the remaining 2,000 soldiers and horses in two ways. The first is to confuse the Jiujiang Army that came to pursue, and the second is that the target is small, even if it is caught up, it will not be wiped out.
After the plan was decided, everyone should retreat in two ways: west and north.
Compared with the two roads, because the Jiujiang Army has not yet fully controlled the north of Yingchuan, the two roads are safer in comparison, and the north road is safer, and Guan Ying, Lu Wenlong, Huang Zhong, and Zhou Tong will take the north road.
Zhao Yun led Zhou Yafu and Niu Gao to retreat north. Under the cover of night, the two groups went their separate ways.
As soon as Zhao Yun and the others left on the front foot, the Jiujiang army arrived on the back foot.
Xiahoudun and Xu Chu looked at the bonfire that had not been completely extinguished and knew that the Chu army had not gone far. Even though Xu Chudang wanted to chase after him, he was stopped by Xiahoudun.
"What's wrong?" Xu Chu saw Xiahoudun stop him, and immediately asked.
"Look at the ground!"
Xu Chu was reminded by Xiahoudun, and immediately looked through the firelight, only to see that the two bifurcated roads were full of footprints and horseshoe prints.
"What's going on? Where the hell did they go?!"
No matter how stupid Xu Chu is, he can naturally react at this moment, and Chu Jun has used a suspicious strategy.
Xiahoudun shook his head and said, "Whether this is a suspicious plan of the Chu army or not, we will wipe out the Chu army!" At the moment, we can only divide our troops into two ways!"
The plan has been decided. Xiahoudun and Xu Chu each led 5,000 people and pursued separately.
Xu Chu pursued westward, and also wrote a letter on the other hand, asking all counties along the road to intercept the Chu army as long as they found it!
Under the cover of night, Zhao Yun led a thousand men and horses to gallop on the land of Yingchuan overnight.
Even though it's late autumn, it's cold. But the soldiers did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and they rushed desperately, not daring to delay in the slightest.
After running all night, the Chu army was cold and hungry. Under the guidance of the Yingchuan soldiers in the army, Zhao Yun had to lead his troops straight to the nearest Pingmai County to rest for the time being.
But he said that the county guard of Pingmai County, what is the name of the surname. He is an official who is benevolent and honest. In just three years, the people of Pingmai County have surplus grain every year. The population of Pingmai County has increased greatly. It is nominally a county, but the degree of prosperity is no less than that of ordinary counties!
When Zhao Yun led the troops to the city, He Yi thought that the Jiujiang soldiers were coming to the city, and even ordered the county soldiers to release arrows to block the attack.
When he learned that it was the Chu army under the city, he ordered the door to open the door and let the Chu army enter the city.
After learning of the loss of Yingchuan and the embarrassment of the Chu soldiers, He Yidang even asked people to take out the grain in the granary and treat the Chu soldiers well.
Under the leadership of He Yi, the people of Pingmai County also took out surplus grain to reward the Chu army.
The Chu army rested in Mao County for about half an hour, and Zhao Yun got up to say goodbye to Liu Yi.
As soon as He Yi saw that Zhao Yun was leaving, he immediately stood up and said, "General Zilong, the lower official has a reluctant request, and I hope the general can agree." ”
"Lord He said that if Zilong can do it, he will do his best!"
Liu Yi hurriedly said: "The officials are not talented, so they can only make the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they can't protect the people in the county when the war is in chaos." In order to prevent the people from suffering from war. Dare to implore the general to escort the people out of Pingmao, so as to avoid the suffering of war!"
When Zhao Yun heard this, after a little thought, he agreed. When He Yi heard this, he immediately thanked Zhao Yun, and then asked people to post a post, asking the people to pack up their things and retreat with Zhao Yun.
After the post was sent, the people in the city were reluctant to retreat with the Chu army. Liu Yi had no choice but to persuade him personally, but the people were still reluctant to leave their homes and vowed to live and die with Pingmai County.
In this regard, Liu Yi had no choice but to take the people and send the Chu army three miles in a row, and then returned to the city.
