Chapter 211: Outwit Wancheng

Zhuge Liang summoned Wei Yan and whispered for a long time, but everyone couldn't see any clues from Wei Yan's surprised expression.

After listening to this, Wei Yan still hugged his fists and said yes, looking at Hua Wenxuan, although Hua Wenxuan didn't know what medicine was sold in Zhuge Liang's gourd, but out of trust in him, he still nodded, and Wei Yan took the order to go out.

Zhuge Liang looked at Hua Wenxuan again, arched his hand and said, "Lord, please order the class teacher to return to Xiangyang tomorrow!" ”

Hua Wenxuan was stunned, "Withdraw now?" It's still raining, just go, don't you wait for the rain to stop......"

Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head, "The rain doesn't stop, but it's a good thing, if it were bigger!" ”

Hua Wenxuan nodded puzzledly, what is this Zhuge Liang selling?

Zhuge Liang called Zhao Yun again, bowed his head and muttered quietly for a long time, Zhao Yun was surprised at first, and then overjoyed, arched his hand towards Zhuge Liang, glanced at Hua Wenxuan, and withdrew.

Hua Wenxuan suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart, why do you still want to hide it from me?

Zhuge Liang arched his hand towards everyone, "Forgive me, this plan is dangerous, Liang has to be cautious, and when he returns to Xiangyang, he will explain them one by one!" ”

Everyone was puzzled, Hua Wenxuan waited for everyone to finish, walked to Zhuge Liang's side, and asked in a low voice: "Military advisor, what is the strategy?" Why are you hiding it from me? ”

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly, "The minister is using a trick, if everyone knows the details, there must be something to show the horse's feet, so it is better for irrelevant people to not know!" Zhuge Liang saw Hua Wenxuan's displeasure, and his words changed, "The lord is within Kong Ming's plan, how can this matter be hidden from the lord?" ”

Hua Wenxuan stretched his brows and looked at Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang said softly: "Tomorrow, the lord will order the class teacher, just use the excuse that the mud road is slippery, let everyone retreat carefully, and don't have to hurry!" When the sky gets dark, no matter how far you exit, immediately turn around and enter Wancheng! ”

Hua Wenxuan was stunned, what does this mean? Kill a horse pistol? What good is it?

Zhuge Liang smiled and pointed to the map, "It's been nearly two months since we besieged Wancheng, why haven't the Cao family's reinforcements arrived?" One is that the Cao family is now fighting on three fronts, and the whole territory of Yuzhou can not be divided into many soldiers and horses to help, and the second is that Wancheng is strong, and it has been raining for days, Cao Pi also expected that we will withdraw the troops in the future, Xuzhou is negligent in guarding, Guangling is lost, Sun Quan threatens Shouchun, and the soldiers reach Pengcheng, if they are not saved, the eastern country is lost! So in fact, it is impossible to divide troops to help! ”

Hua Wenxuan glanced at Zhuge Liang puzzled, saying so, but what does this have to do with the retreat? Hua Wenxuan shook his lips and asked, "That being the case, Xiahou Yuan only needs to hold on to the city and wait for me to retreat, so why did the military advisor ask me to turn back tomorrow?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled lightly, "Tomorrow, I will let Wei Yan lead 5,000 men and horses, pretend to be Cao Jun, march to Wancheng, and then let Zhao Yun pretend to be the queen of the palace Our army will fight with it, it will be rainy for days, and it will be a miasma, Wancheng Cao Jun must not know the inside story, Xiahou Yuan has been holding on for nearly two months, how can he not look forward to reinforcements, plus our army will withdraw to Xiangyang in the morning, and it will inevitably lead the troops out lightly, then Wancheng is at your fingertips!" ”

Hua Wenxuan pondered for a long time and asked, "How did the military advisor expect that Xiahou Yuan would definitely send troops to help?" ”

"We have been besieging the city for two months, it has been raining for days, the military rations are unsustainable, and the morale is low, is the situation in Wancheng going to be good? There are still countless people in Wancheng, and under the chewing of horses, it must also be the end of the crossbow! Zhuge Liang said while looking at Hua Wenxuan firmly, "A dying person, once saved, and saw the life-saving straw, how can it not be pulled?" For the sake of military merit, Xiahou Yuan's subordinates will also be forced to send troops! In such a foggy and rainy weather, I can't see it really, when he realizes that in the middle of the time, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan will definitely be able to keep him, and we can take advantage of the situation to take Wancheng directly! ”

Hua Wenxuan couldn't help nodding yes, although it is not a plan to be nine out of ten, but it is a good way to break the situation at present, everything depends on whether Xiahou Yuan's side will take it seriously tomorrow.

That night, Hua Wenxuan ordered the withdrawal of troops back to Xiangyang, and sent a clear order to everywhere.

Early in the morning of the second day, Hua Wenxuan led the army to slowly retreat south, the sky was beautiful, not only did the rain not stop, but there was also a small fog around Wancheng, but the visibility was extremely low.

Hua Wenxuan took the lead in leading the army to slowly retreat south, Zhuge Liang rode a horse, slowly following behind, the road was muddy, there were many baggage, and the march was very slow, coupled with Zhuge Liang's previous explanation, Hua Wenxuan ordered the army to stop and rest from time to time, and after noon, he only walked out a short distance.

The rain hit Hua Wenxuan almost soaked, and when he stopped to rest, Hua Wenxuan followed up and found a place under the shade of a tree, so that people could make a fire to keep warm, and just took off his clothes here and started to roast, Zhuge Liang staggered over there and ran over with his feet of mud, "It's done!" It's done! The sentinel in the south of the city said that he saw Xiahou Yuan's banner go out of the east of the city! ”

Hua Wenxuan didn't care that his clothes were all wet, and walked towards the Chinese army while wearing them, "The back team has become the front team!" Speed towards Wancheng! Leave the foot soldier and walk slowly with the baggage! The rest of the people are running away for me! ”

The clay-like soldiers rolling in the rain were also stunned, seeing that Hua Wenxuan was panicking, he stepped on two feet of mud and got on the horse to go north, and hurriedly packed up in a panic and followed.

After running crazy in the rain for a long time, he finally rushed to the edge of Wancheng before dark, and the few guards at the head of Wancheng City were stunned to watch this group of Hua Wenxuan soldiers who were splashed like mud men rode until they were a stone's throw away from the city wall, and then they dismounted one after another, and ran to the city wall with a simple grappling hook and a temporarily assembled ladder in the drizzle.

Attacking the city in such slippery weather, the city is still muddy, not to mention that Xiahou Yuan can't think of it, who would attack the city at such a time? Stepping on the ladder and the city wall with two feet of mud, it is impossible to grasp the strength at all, and from time to time someone will slip and fall from the leading ranks.

However, it was precisely this kind of surprise that made Xiahou Yuan, a veteran who had fought for many years, ignore the possibility of Hua Wenxuan's return, and this time he attacked, there were no extra men and horses left in the city.

Soon, the army of Hua Wenxuan who came one after another began to swarm in from the gates, where can the soldiers at the head of the city withstand the siege from all sides, and soon, the city gate was declared lost, Hua Wenxuan shivered in the rain, his lips were frozen white, and after the city gate was opened, he and everyone poured into Wancheng one after another, and went straight to the Taishou Mansion, and he didn't care about any etiquette, so he split a few books on the spot to make a fire for warmth.

When Xiahou Yuan got rid of the entanglement between Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, and staggered to lead a large army to the outskirts of Wancheng, the city had already changed its course.

Xiahou Yuan looked up to the sky and sighed, and could only helplessly lead the rest of the men and horses to withdraw in the direction of Luoyang.
