Chapter 394: Blossoming in the Tree
Cao Cao asked in surprise: "Gongsun Du, Gongsun Kang and his son have been running Liaodong for many years, how did Han Xuan capture Lelang so quickly?" ”
Man Chong said: "According to the news from the Zhaozhao, Han Xuan sent Xu Rong to the south of Liaodong by sea four years ago, and Xu Rong assumed the name Xu Hua and led the army to destroy the three Hans. Xu Rong drove the Waiyi people to the north to plunder, accumulating strength to attack Gongsun Kang. After Xu Rong died of illness, Han Xuan personally led the army to the sea and arrived in Liaodong to command the overall situation......"
Cao Cao sighed, he didn't expect Han Xuan's trick to deceive both him and Guo Jia. Cao Cao felt a chill down his spine, and now he was ready to go west to conquer Ma Chao and Han Sui, but Han Xuan suddenly appeared behind him to make trouble.
Cao Cao decided that he couldn't let Han Xuan rise in Liaodong, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Man Chong: "Boning, quickly gather everyone to discuss the matter." ”
When the strategists learned that Han Xuan suddenly appeared in Liaodong, they were also dumbfounded, in their eyes, the sea was a vast forbidden area, and there was no land. Unexpectedly, Han Xuan actually led the army to Liaodong, is the naval army in Jiangdong already strong to this extent?
At this time, Xun You stepped forward and said: "Prime Minister, Gongsun Kang is not Han Xuan's opponent, and it is advisable to take advantage of his unstable foothold in Liaodong to jointly attack Gongsun Kang." If you sit back and watch Han Xuan sit big in Liaodong, you will be harmed in the future! ”
Cheng Yu retorted: "Although Han Xuan cannot be underestimated, Ma Chao must not be guarded against. Recently, I heard that the generals of Liangzhou were strong soldiers and horses, and there was the intention of plundering the pass, and the prime minister should personally lead the army to ask for it. Gongsun Kang ostensibly returned to the imperial court, but in fact, he was far from being convinced, and he could not cross the border to ask for it. Tian Chou, Tian Yu, and Zhao can be sent to guard the border of Youzhou, and sit and watch the two tigers fight. If Gongsun Kang can't resist Han Xuan, it's not too late for our army to conquer again. ”
Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "Zhongde's words are very much in line with my wishes, Gongsun Kang and Han Xuan can not be broken in a day, and sit back and watch their success or failure." Ordered Wei Qi and Zhang He to command 8,000 troops out of Hedong and attack Zhang Lu in Hanzhong! ”
When Cao's army went out of Hedong, it would inevitably pass through the territory of Ma Chao and Han Sui, which was also Cao Cao's plan to cut down on the false way. Cao Cao listened to Cheng Yu's suggestion and asked Tian Chou to assist Tian Yu and recruit the superintendent to guard the border of Youzhou, preparing to deal with Ma Chao and Han Sui wholeheartedly and take Liangzhou.
This undoubtedly gave Han Xuan a chance, and after Han Xuan defeated Gongsun Kang's general Liu Cheng, he fought another battle with Gongsun Gong in Lelang, and Gongsun Gong was defeated and retreated to the north of Tunyou County. Han Xuan divided the area south of Tunyou County into Daifang County, and appointed Han officials to manage the counties, and Han Xuan's strength in Liaodong became stronger and stronger.
It turned out that when the Battle of Chibi was about to start, Han Hao sent people to Liaodong to report to Han Xuan, and Han Xuan was also surprised when he learned about it.
At that time, it was a year earlier than the Battle of Chibi in history, and Han Xuan was afraid that Chen Wu and them would be unable to resist Cao Cao's attack, so he publicly stated his identity as the lord of Jiangdong. I hope that the news can reach Cao Cao's ears soon, attracting Cao Cao to divide his troops to the north to reduce the pressure on Chen Wu and Han Hao.
Unexpectedly, the news of this era was still too closed, and after the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao knew that Han Xuan had arrived in Liaodong. And Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong were also shocked when they found out, the dignified lord of Jiangdong, Chu Hou Han Xuan, actually went to Liaodong in person, and they were shocked and angry. Han Xuan definitely wanted to annex them, and they had also heard of Han Xuan's reputation, and knew that he was not an easy character to deal with.
Since Gongsun Gong was defeated and retreated to the north of Lelang County, he has been drinking all day long to kill his sorrows. At this time, a Japanese woman came over, and Gongsun Gong was full of anger when he saw her, pushed away the two beautiful women sitting on his lap, and shouted at the Japanese woman: "You poisonous woman, you still dare to come to see me?" I'll kill you! ”
Gongsun Gong pulled out his sword and pointed at the woman of the Japanese Kingdom, but he couldn't do anything, and the woman of the Japanese Kingdom smiled and said, "Kill me?" Are you willing? ”
Gongsun Gong scolded with tears: "You seduced me, took information from Liaodong, and poisoned my body, causing me to lose my dignity as a man...... I ......"
The woman of the Japanese Kingdom stretched out her hand and touched Gongsun Gong's crotch, and said with a smile: "How can you blame me, you can only blame yourself for being useless, hehehe!" ”
Gongsun Gong opened her hand and shouted, "You get out of here!" ”
"If you want me to get out, don't you want to pick up your dignity as a man? I feel sorry for you that you are over 30 years old and still have no children. The woman laughed like a silver bell, and her fair face looked a little mad.
Hearing this, Gongsun Gong hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by this?" Is there a cure for my disease? ”
The woman smiled and said, "Exactly." My lord Amaterasu can ward off ghosts, refine elixirs, and men eat them, not only can bring their children and grandchildren back to life, but also can open seven degrees, even if the seventy old man can also evoke the second spring. ”
"Where's the elixir? Give it to me! As soon as Gongsun Gong heard that he still had hope of passing on the ancestry, he hurriedly asked the woman of the Japanese country.
But the woman said, "How can I have such a sacred object? If you are sincere in wanting to take it, you can go to my Yamatai country, and the 'Amaterasu God' will naturally give you the elixir if he has mercy on you." ”
"I'll order a ship to be prepared, and we'll leave tomorrow!" Gongsun Gong couldn't wait.
"Oh no! General, Han Xuan led 30,000 troops to attack the city of Suicheng! A wounded soldier hurriedly ran in and reported.
"What! Han Xuan came so fast! Gongsun Gong was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
Seeing that Gongsun Gong was frightened like this, the woman of the Japanese Kingdom couldn't help but curse this waste in her heart, and she was trapped in the city.
She could only cheer up Gongsun Gong and say, "What about Han Xuan? You are the son of Gongsun Du, and your father even has to respect Cao Cao for three points, is Han Xuan as powerful as Cao Cao? ”
Gongsun Gong said: "You don't know, I recently heard that Cao Cao was defeated by Han Hao and Chen Wu, this Han Xuan is the lord of Jiangdong, and Han Xuan has to use troops above these two people!" How can I be against him? I thought he was Han Xin, but he was just an unknown person, and I was enough to deal with it. Who would have thought that he would really be Han Xuan! ”
The woman was also shocked when she heard this: "Is this Han Xuan really as powerful as you said?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, an earth-shattering sound came, and the whole room trembled. The sawdust from the roof fell down, and the Japanese woman was stunned.
"Run! This is Han Xuanbing's trebuchet. I can't wait for this place anymore! Gongsun Gong hurriedly took her hand and ran out of the door.
The woman was shocked by the power of the trebuchet, and she didn't know what kind of weapon could be so powerful, throwing seemingly ordinary large stones to such a distance. With such a sharp weapon, it is no wonder that the army of "Amaterasu" can be defeated.
As a result, huge stone bullets continued to fall in the city, smashing the wooden houses in the city, and the people in the city scattered and fled, and they were already in a mess.
"Hold it off for me! Crossbowmen fire quickly and do not allow enemy soldiers to get close to the walls. "Gongsun Mo was directing the defenders to defend the city wall, and stone bullets kept falling near him, and the stumps and broken arms on the city flew wildly.
"Pass the order! The one who captures Gongsun Gong alive will be the goalkeeper and rewarded with 100 gold! Han Xuan sat on the enemy tower and shouted the order, and the herald general ordered the order to convey to the various armies.
Han Xuanjun was suddenly demoralized, and rushed to the city tower. Gongsun Mo is Gongsun Kang's confidant general, this time Gongsun Kang was afraid that his younger brother would have an accident, lest someone poke his backbone in the back, so he sent Gongsun Mo to help in the war.
Gongsun Mo is also brave and good at fighting, Han Xuanjun rushed up to the city tower, he organized the defenders to fight back wildly, and beat Han Xuanjun who had just rushed up.
"Song Qian, you led 5,000 elite soldiers around the west gate to attack. I continue to draw the attention of the enemy forces here. Seeing that the defenders in the city were stubbornly resisting, Han Xuan said to Song Qian behind him.
"Order!" Song Qian immediately stepped off the platform, and led 5,000 elite soldiers to the west gate with armor and halberd.
Gongsun Mo in the city saw that Han Xuanjun's offensive had weakened, and realized that something was wrong, and after repelling this wave of Han Xuanjun's attack, the Ximen guard sent someone to report that Han Xuan's general Song Qian led his troops to attack Ximen very urgently!
"Sure enough, it's a plan to attack the west! Zhang He, you and the overseer will resist the enemy at the east gate on my behalf, and I will lead 700 elite soldiers to the west gate for reinforcements! Gongsun Mo handed over the defense of the east gate to a partial general, and led his troops to save the west gate.
"Xian Yu Dan, you lead a thousand soldiers and pick out 200 people as a death squad. Put on two layers of armor, prepare more iron shields, and storm the south gate! The rest waved their flags and shouted, bluffing. Han Xuan ordered again.
Xian Yudan was a little puzzled and asked: "The lord doesn't want to make a plan to attack the east and the west, the east gate should be a feint." Why did the lord not only storm the east gate, but also order the last general to attack the south gate? In this way, our forces are scattered, how can we break through this city? ”
"Gongsun Mo is a general under the Gongsun clan, how can he not know the plan to attack the west? My plan is to blossom on the tree! Han Xuan said confidently, these generals under Gongsun Kang are okay to fight foreigners, but they are still too weak to deal with themselves.
