Chapter 301: Empty City Strategy
Zhang Jie came to Jia Xu, and said: Do you think Cao Cao will run away?
Jia Xu said: There is this possibility, I didn't see Cao Cao for a day today, and I didn't see his generals. It may be that it was withdrawn to Xuchang.
Zhang Jie said: If Cao Cao ran away, how could Yuan Shao still be stupid here? Is he willing to be a cover for Cao Cao? Unlikely! Is Yuan Shao so great? And this matter can't be hidden from Yuan Shao Xu You!
Everyone nodded. Frustrated: No matter what, if you attack again tomorrow, if Cao Cao really runs away, Yuan Shao will never be able to hold on here for too long. Otherwise, he's really stupid.
Zhang Jie nodded and said: Good! Let the brothers sleep at night, and continue the attack tomorrow.
There was nothing to do that night, and early the next morning, Xu Huang came to report. Dao: Lord, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's camp is empty.
In fact, there were more than 200 people in the evening. I ran away in the morning.
Zhang Jie took a closer look and said: It seems that Cao Cao withdrew the night before yesterday, and Yuan Shao only withdrew last night.
Frustrated, he came over and said: I've been walking all night, I've gone far, it's not easy to chase! If you don't get it right, it's easy to be ambushed.
Tian Fengdao: Since Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have withdrawn, then let's simply go straight to Xuchang and take Xuchang first.
Zhang Jiedao: It seems that this is the only way to go.
Hehe, the lord is not in a hurry, congratulations to the lord first. Guandu has been lowered, Yuan Cao has withdrawn his troops, and the battle of the Central Plains of the Lord has been won! The next step is to play steadily. The pacification of several states in the Central Plains is just around the corner! Jia Xu laughed.
When everyone heard Jia Xu say this, they also reacted, and they all began to congratulate Zhang Jie.
Hahahaha. All of you rejoice as well.
However, it is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to become a famous academic overlord. We can't fight snakes and not die, but be bitten by snakes.
Tian Fengdao: What the lord said is extremely true, it is advisable to chase the poor with the remaining bravery, and not to sell the name of the overlord. Good poetry.
Zhang Jiedao: So what now? If you are frustrated, you will give the order!
Promise!
Wei Yan listened to the order, you take 10,000 cavalry to pursue Cao Cao, send more scouts on the road, and the speed does not have to be too fast, if there is an ambush, retreat immediately. Remember to chase after Xuchang, regardless of whether there are enemy troops or not, do not attack the city for the time being.
Promise!
Zhang He listened to the order, you take 30,000 horses and horses, and follow behind Wei Yan to be a side backup.
Promise!
Zhang Yan and Xu Huang listened to the order, each of you took 10,000 horses to the east and took Yanzhou East County, Chenliu and other places, which are almost empty cities now. There are no defenders, but you must also remember to be careful of ambushes, if you refuse to surrender in the event of a fortified city, you can temporarily refrain from attacking the city.
Promise!
Zilong, listen to the order, you take 10,000 cavalry and go to the Tiger Prison Pass, and I guess that they may have a bloody battle in the Tiger Prison Pass. You and Gao Ran are caught in the Tiger Prison Pass, and strive to win the Tiger Prison Pass as soon as possible.
Promise!
Pei Yuanshao, you take 2,000 men and horses and go to Xingyang to take Aocang. See if there is still food in the warehouse.
Promise!
Zhang Jie knew that Ao Cang was a very important strategic place when the Qin and Han dynasties intersected, and the grain in the warehouse was enough for 100,000 troops to eat for a few years, and Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had fought for it here.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was basically abandoned. Now it's the old plan, and there's nothing left.
Frustrated, my lord, is there anything else to add?
Zhang Jie said: Ladies and gentlemen, you are not allowed to bully the people when you go to various places. Don't kill indiscriminately. It is forbidden to violate military discipline or destroy crops.
Promise!
Then the army set out.
After everyone left, Zhang Jie said: How about we go to Xuchang too?
Tian Fengdao: Don't worry, lord, let's wait in Guandu first! I'll talk about it when they get to Xuchang.
After Cao Cao withdrew to Xuchang, Cao Cao's generals and his family members went to Nanyang.
Seeing Xun Yu, he said: Why is Wen Ruo still in Xuchang, why didn't he go to Wancheng?
Xun Yu said: Yu is waiting for the lord. Cao Cao said: Now that everyone has withdrawn, let's go too!
Xun Yu said: The lord Yu can't go to Hanzhong with the lord, Yu plans to go to Luoyang and serve the Son of Heaven.
Cao Cao was shocked and said: Wen Ruo, why are you doing this? We've been together for many years, why is that!
Xun Yu said: There are Gongda around the lord, Fengxiao, and Zhongde, they are enough. Yu has nothing to help the lord. The ancestral grave of the Xun family needs to be cleaned, and Yu is relieved to stay. The lord can rest assured that Yu went to Luoyang just to serve the Son of Heaven, and he will never make a plan or offer a plan for Zhang Zhuo in this life.
Cao Cao saw that Xun Yu refused to go to Hanzhong, his heart was dripping blood, and he knew that once Xun Yu made up his mind, he would never change. This is Wang Zuozhi's talent! Cao Cao even thought about killing him.
But thinking about it, Xun You is still under the tent, killing Xun Yu, what does Xun You think? Besides, Xun Yu promised not to work for Zhang Jie. And for many years, it is difficult to be ruthless for a while.
A soft heart: Wen Ruo insisted on this. respects Wen Ruo's choice.
Xun Yu said: Thank you for your understanding. Please go first! Yu blocked Zhang Jie's army for the lord.
Ay! Then Cao Cao led people to leave Xuchang and go to Wancheng in Nanyang. And Le Jin and Xia Houlan of Tiger Prison Pass also received a notice and abandoned the pass overnight and fled to Nanyang.
Wei Yan's cavalry was the first to arrive in Xuchang. I saw that the gate of Xuchang was closed. Several veterans on the city wall, standing on the city wall. Xun Yu sat by the female wall of the city wall, and there were two maids standing beside her, stroking the piano with both hands. It was the song of Xiaoao Jianghu that was played.
It was the first time Wei Yan had listened to this song, and he felt good, but he couldn't figure out the situation in the city for a while, and when he came, he was frustrated and didn't let them attack the city. So I had to give an order and set up camp. Wait for the arrival of Zhang He's army later. On the one hand, he sent someone to inform Zhang Jie to come to Xuchang.
When Zhang Jie received a report from Wei Yanlai, he also felt strange. He took all the military divisions and others to Xuchang.
When Zhang Jie and the others came to Xuchang, Zhang He's army had already arrived in Xuchang to join Wei Yan.
When Zhang Jie came to the city, he saw that the city gate was wide open and several veterans were cleaning the streets. Xun Yu played the piano in the city and pretended to be forced.
Zhang Jie said in his heart, isn't this Zhuge Liang's empty city plan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? You can't fool us.
Zhang Jie shouted loudly: Brother Wen Ruo, why didn't you follow him when Brother Meng De ran away! Could it be that Wen Ruo set up an empty city here to buy Cao Cao time to escape? Cao Cao's capital is too big, right?
Xun Yu said: Whether it is or not when Ming Gong enters the city, I will know.
Hahahaha! Zhang Jie laughed and said: That is the case, Najie will enter the city.
Zhang He, the end will be!
Bring your troops into the city!
Promise!
Yang Hongdao: Lord, I'm afraid there are ambushes in the city!
Zhang Jie said with a smile: Don't worry, the city is empty, and Cao Cao has already run away. If Xun Wenruo is bold, Jie admires it.
Town! Zhang Jie shouted loudly!
After a while, Zhang He's army rushed into the city, and sure enough, there were some people hiding at home in the city. There were less than two hundred soldiers, some of whom were wounded. Xun Yu sat motionless on the city wall.
Zhang Jie went to the city wall accompanied by everyone and saw Xun Yu's forced pretend.
smiled: Wen Ruo, if Jie's guess is right, Meng De went to Nanyang, right? Yijie sees that it won't be long before Hanzhong will have the surname Cao.
Ay! Awesome! If the Central Plains is big, Meng De will give up when he says to give up. It's just that Jie can't figure it out, why didn't Wen Ruo go to Hanzhong?
