Chapter 558: The Battle of Destroying Cao (20)
"It's all to blame that the end didn't stop it in time." Hao Zhao said.
"It's no wonder you, you have the responsibility of defending the city, and you can't leave easily." Yuan Xi gritted his teeth and said, "Jia Xu dares to kill my people without scruples like this." I will kill him with my own hands. ”
"I've already transferred Zhangjaw's vanguard battalion, and with the giant beasts I brought, as well as your troops in Hedong County, they should be able to deal with Cao Ren. You guard the city first, don't let Cao Ren break through, I estimate that in two days, you can fight back." ”
Hao Zhao said in surprise: "Great.... ”
He knew that the vanguard battalion of Zhang Jaw, although the number was small, but it was extremely combative, and it was really the king in the field.
The troops brought by Cao Ren were all infantry troops, and it was difficult to resist.
As long as you fight in the field, the odds of victory will be greatly increased.

Hexi County. Jia Xu's remnants were stationed in Hexi County. He didn't go any further, didn't seem to be ready to go to Hedong, didn't go back, and fought with Zhang Jaw, which seemed to have another deep meaning.
The generals who were with him were puzzled: "Sir, we have lost fifteen thousand soldiers, what should we do next?" ”
"What do you think?" Jia Xu asked.
"We will obey the orders of the gentleman..." The generals said.
With Jia Xu's advice, they don't need to think about it at all. Jia Xu said what to do, just do it.
"We still have 35,000 soldiers, as long as they are used properly, they can create even more trouble for Yuan Xi. If he returns to Hedong County and joins General Cao Ren, he will definitely attract Yuan Xi and Zhang Jaw. I'm not sure I'm going to deal with his behemoth yet, so I'm not going to risk it. So, we don't go to Hedong County. After the third watch tonight, follow me around the southeast of Wei County and go straight to Huguan in Shangdang County! Just take it there... Hmph, the door of the state is open, and Yuan Xixiu wants to stop me again. Cao Ren's pressure will also be much less. Jia Xu said slowly.
"Let's all go and prepare. Don't leak the news just yet, and don't tell the soldiers where to go. After midnight, we set off straight away. ”
"No."
The congregation will depart.
Jia Xu's strategy was unexpected.
He led the army to Huguan that night.
Huguan is the gateway to Jizhou and Shangdang County, and he controls the main road to Jizhou and Jizhou, and the geographical location is very important.
Once Jia Xu is allowed to capture it, it will inevitably affect the annexation of the two states.
And the state will also be closed down.
Da Da...
At noon the next day, Yuan Xi and Zhang Jaw rushed to Hexi County.
"Could it be that Jia Xu went to Hedong ahead of schedule?" Zhang Jaw said: "The scouts I sent have not replied to me so far... Lord, are we rushing to Hedong County immediately? ”
"Well, go to Hedong County."
Yuan Xi was sure that Jia Xu would help Cao Ren and capture Hedong County as soon as possible. In this way, Cao's army could go straight north, from the Taihang Mountains in the west, into Bingzhou.
This is the only main road in and out of the state except Huguan. And there are no dangers.
Next.
Yuan Xi and Zhang Jaw arrived in Hedong.
Jia Xu was not found here, and there was no army of him.
Jia Xu disappeared again.
But Cao Ren was attacking the county town of Hedong, and the battle was in full swing. Yuan Xi asked Zhang Jaw to lead the vanguard battalion, and when Cao Ren was attacking the city, he fought from behind and joined Hao Zhaoli.
The red-maned tigers also participated in the battle, intensifying the offensive.
"Array!"
Cao Ren reacted quickly, and after being attacked by a surprise attack, he also temporarily set up a tiger wing array to block Zhang Jaw. But he knew that there were tens of thousands of enemy troops in Hedong County, and once he was killed, he would definitely be defeated if he joined forces with Zhang Jaw. So the soldiers who left the Tiger Wing Formation were defeated and went to Banpojin.
"General Hao, didn't you see Jia Xu?" Yuan Xi entered the city to find Hao Zhao.
"Back to the lord, I didn't see it."
Yuan Xi frowned: "It's strange, he obviously went to Hexi County, if he didn't come to Hedong, where would he go?" Is it still hiding in Hexi County, waiting for me and Zhang Jaw to leave, and then returning to Wei County? ”
Hao Zhao said: "Jia Xu is vicious, he does not compromise means, with the strength in his hands, no matter where he attacks, it will bring us trouble." ”
"yes, so I want to find him and eliminate him." Yuan Xi took Hao Zhao into the palace.
Take out the map and put it on the table.
Yuan Xi studied for a while, and finally said: "If Jia Xu didn't come to Hedong and wasn't in Hexi, he only had two ways to go, one was to return to Wei County and continue to make trouble for me." The second is to go to the Huguan of the Shangdang, which is the main road in and out of the state. ”
Hao Zhao said: "Huguan has 6,000 of our soldiers, he is not easy to attack, right?" ”
"Under normal circumstances, he really can't attack, but... Jia Xu is not an ordinary general, I'm worried.... According to the map situation, Yuan Xi judged that Jia Xu might have gone to Huguan.
Whether the guess is right or not, Yuan Xi has to take a look.
"General Hao, you stay and continue to confront Cao Ren. I'll go to Huguan, and when I come back, I'll fight Cao Ren again. Yuan Xi said.
"Yes."
Yuan Xi did not have any stop in Hedong, and after instructing Hao Zhao, he rushed to Huguan at full speed.
Huguan Shou will be the general of the Montenegrin Army who was originally merged with the state, and he will have eight left beards. He was originally subordinate to Gao Lan, but later transferred back to Jizhou to take up a new position. Due to the delay in forming a new army, Zuo Bearded Zhanghachi was sent by the officials to the state.
He has been stationed here for more than a year, and he has built the city very tall.
Even in the face of 100,000 troops, he has the strength to fight.
Because Huguan is particularly narrow, no amount of troops can be used. On the contrary, it is the 6,000 people in his hands who can play a great role in controlling bed crossbows and throwing stones.
"General, the Military Administration Department has sent someone..." He was still training soldiers in the barracks, when suddenly a soldier came to report.
"Where?"
"Outside the city. He did not clear the papers, only a letter from Mr. Fu, saying that there was something important that needed to be conveyed to the general. The soldier said.
"Take me there." Left bearded Zhanghachi hurried to the castle tower.
He had recently heard that Cao Jun was in Hedong, Hexi, and the western part of Wei County, and that the world was turning upside down. If it weren't for the heavy responsibility of defending the city, he would have gone to help in the war a long time ago.
Now that the Military Administration Department has sent someone, is it going to transfer him to the war?
With this expectation, he came to the castle tower.
I saw a civil official outside the city, with a letter in his hand, and behind him more than 200 people, all wearing the armor of the Praetorian Guard.
There were almost no doubts about the left, but the necessary procedures still had to be followed.
He shouted, "What do you call the adults outside the city?" Can you bring a customs clearance document? ”
The civil official replied: "I came here to convey a secret order to the general, and there is no document for customs clearance. This is Mr. Fu's letter, you can take it and read it. ”
He shook the letter in his hand.
"Someone will get it quickly." The left bearded Zhangba instructed the captain who was guarding the city.
The letters were sent to the castle tower.
Zuo Zhangba took it in his hand and looked at it, he recognized the handwriting of Fu Zhi, it was not bad at all, and he immediately said happily: "Mr. Fu really wants to send me to help in the war, it's great." ”
