Chapter 89: Calling the Husband
Xuchang, Cao Cao's mansion, a spy is reporting intelligence to Cao Cao, this spy joined the Jizhou army after the last martial arts examination, and then went to Youzhou with Zhang Jie, this time Zhang Jie gave them a month off, and he immediately reported the situation to Cao Cao.
In the hall, there are Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Xun You, and Mao Jie. Cao Cao has been very sad recently, and Xi Zhicai died. died of illness, only in his 30s, in fact, it is too normal to die in his 30s in this era.
Spy said: Zhang Jie hollowed out the foundation of the city wall and then used a wooden stake to hold it, and then suddenly used an ox to pull down the wooden stake, the city wall fell down, and attacked the city, and Gongsun Zhan fled to Youbeiping.
The spy also said that Gongsun Zhan betrayed Youzhou, painted Shanggu and other places to Wuhuan, and asked Wuhuan for help to fight. Cao Cao said angrily: Gongsun Zhan doesn't even want national righteousness? Betraying the country, brazen to the extreme. Damn it.
The spy said: The 20,000 Wuhuan cavalry died miserably, and none of them lived? Xun Yu said: Zhang Jie doesn't have many cavalry, how did he destroy 20,000 Wuhuan cavalry? Don't be in a hurry to speak slowly.
The spy said: Zhang Jie pretended to attack the city at night, he had already calculated that he would attack the city, Gongsun Zhan and Wuhuan would attack his back, and then how Zhang Jie besieged the Wuhuan cavalry, Gongsun Zhan climbed the wall and fled back to the city, and told Cao Cao and them one by one.
Zhang Jie first deceived Wuyan and made them surrender, and said that he would let them go back to their hometown to pay the travel expenses. Wuhuan was fooled, and then surrendered, Zhang Jie had them tied up, and then escorted them to a remote place. All of them were shot, and after killing, each person made up a knife in their necks, and the villain also killed more than a dozen Wuhuan people. Some of the Wuhuan people didn't shoot and killed, but they died on the mending knife. They were tied hand and foot, and it was miserable. And then it was all buried. There are also many trees planted on the pit. None of the nearly 20,000 people who surrendered survived.
I heard that the thousands of Wuhuan cavalry who stayed in the camp also dispersed Zhao Yun's cavalry, and on the way back to Wuhuan, they encountered Hao Zhao's ambush and suffered heavy casualties, and in the end, few people fled back to Wuhuan.
Zhang Jie also didn't let the soldiers talk about killing the captives, saying that it was not killing, but surpassing them back to Elysium.
The crowd was silent. Cheng Yudao: I thought that Zhang Jie said that he wanted to change the race to another race, but it seems that Zhang Jie really plans to do this, this is just the beginning. After the destruction of Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Jie will definitely make a move against Xianbei, Wuhuan, and the Xiongnu.
Xun Youdao: Did the captor of Gongsun Chan be killed?
Spy said: There are more than 20,000 people captured in Jixian County, some of them are the original Liu Yu's people, and later 8,000 people joined the Jizhou Army. There were also more than 4,000 Gongsun Zan prisoners who surrendered with Wuhuan in Youbeiping, and Zhang Jie sent the Han prisoners to Jixian and then released them all. Only kill the Wuhuan people.
Cao Cao said: So Zhang Jie got nearly 20,000 war horses? Spy: Yes. left 5,000 horses for Wei Yan in Youbeiping, and the rest were brought back to Yecheng.
Everyone in the hall was silent, the Central Plains were scarce of war horses, and Cao Cao didn't even have two thousand cavalry. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu is similar. Zhang Jie got more than 20,000 war horses at one time. If Zhang Jie goes south and the Central Plains is flat, how can he fight?
Xun Yu said: My lord, we also have to learn from Zhang Jie to prepare a strong crossbow, reject horses, and deal with cavalry. Judging from Zhang Jie's experience this time, the infantry is not impossible against the cavalry, but it is necessary to have a strong crossbow to resist the horse.
Cao Cao said: Good. Cheng Yudao: My subordinates think they can buy some war horses from Zhang Jie. Xun Youdao: Will Zhang Jie sell? Cheng Yudao: Zhang Jie's current enemy is Gongsun Zhan, and if he destroys Gongsun Zhan, he is a foreign race, so we are not enemies yet, he will sell.
Tanma Dao: Oh, Zhang Jie was ambushed when he was chasing Gongsun Zhan, he was injured by an arrow and almost died, and the doctor said no, and later, when he was about to die, he set up a son. I don't know how I came back to life again, I heard that it was burned with a red-hot dagger, and I was alive again. At that time, many people saw him fall from his horse with an arrow.
Can a red-hot dagger smelt? Is there such a statement? Everyone said they hadn't heard of it.
Cao Cao said: Very good, you have to protect yourself after you go back, at present, Zhang Jie and I are not enemies, you don't have to do anything, just watch, don't expose it. Promise! Cao Cao waved his hand and the spy went down. Then Cao Cao said: What do you think?
Cheng Yu said: Zhang Jie killed foreign races, he didn't say anything, let's just pretend not to know, anyway, he is not Han.
Mao Jiedao: It's hurtful! 20,000 people, just like that. Shall we do nothing?
Cao Cao Dao: What to do? Gongsun Chan colluded with foreign races to betray the country, and it will not end well. Although Zhang Jie's killing of the Wuhuan captives is a little cruel, if it is not my people, their hearts must be different, so why not.
Cao Cao said: I heard that Yuan Shao sent Liu Bei and Lu Bu's wives to Yecheng, do you think Zhang Jie will return it?
Xun Yu said: This is Yuan Shao's plan to remove trouble, although Zhang Jie is a good woman, but Zhang Jie was already in Youzhou at that time, and it is unlikely that Yuan Shao would catch Lu Bu's family and give it to him. However, I don't think Zhang Jie will return it to Lu Bu. Yuan Shao just played a clever trick thinking that Lu Bu would go to Zhang Jie for revenge, but in fact, Zhang Jie didn't take Lu Bu seriously at all. This kind of white beauty thing, if Zhang Jie can spit it out, it will not be Zhang Jie.
Cao Cao laughed and said: Zhang Shimin is my fellow believer!
How can there be a reason for a beauty to send it to the door and send it back? Yuan Benchu was a little childish. It's okay to give me Cao Mengde! Hmph, Lu Bu, what is the fear of a lost dog?
Cao Cao said: Who of you would like to go to Yecheng? Cheng Yu said: It's winter, there's nothing to do, Yu wants to go to Yecheng, meet this murderous Zhang Shimin, and buy some war horses from him by the way. Cao Cao said: Since Zhongde is willing to go, it will be troublesome for Zhongde to go. Promise!
Xun Yu said: Lord, Guo Jia has returned to Yingchuan now, we will definitely see him this time. Cao Cao said: Good! Prepare a generous gift immediately, and I will go myself.
If Zhang Jie is here, he will definitely scold his mother, Guo Jia has never voted for anyone, learning Zhuge Kongming, and waiting for the master to come to the door. It's a pity that Zhang Jie didn't go to him. Guo Jia didn't know how to do it, and he didn't go to Yecheng to find Zhang Jie. Just missed it.
In the backyard of Zhang Jie's mansion in Yecheng, Zhang Jie was really tired during this time, being a groom every night, and his waist was tired. Today he plans to chat with Yan's, Diao Chan, and Mi's, Zhang Jie said: I'll chat with you if it's okay today.
Yan Shidao: I don't know what Ming Gong wants to talk about? Zhang Jie's face was thicker than the city wall, and said: What Ming Gong is not clear, don't call me that, it's too raw, you still call me Shimin, it would be better if you called me husband.
The third girl's face was a little red, and Yan didn't expect Zhang Jie to be so thick-skinned. It seems that Zhang Jie still has such a side.
Yan Shidao: I don't know what the people of the world have to say to us. Zhang Jiedao: Do you know what I used to do? Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know."
