Chapter 390: Escape from Hanzhong (2)
Xiahou Yuan also said with a cold face: "You want these people? Yes, if you retreat fifty miles, I will release the whole city! ”
Zhang Hehe was embarrassed, with Xiahou Yuan's request to retreat fifty miles, he could just hurry to the troops immediately, but he was not the main general, and let these people suffer innocently, he couldn't bear it, hesitated for a moment, and said: "This matter is important, let me send someone to report to the Lord General Wei to decide!" ”
Xiahou Yuan said: "Yes, but you only have one hour, otherwise you ......"
Xiahou Yuan shook the horse chopping knife in his hand as he spoke, and the threat was overflowing.
Zhang He didn't move, but just sent his own soldiers to report to Zhang Liao, as a veteran of the battlefield, Zhang He knew very well that at the moment of rushing to escape, Xiahou Yuan had nothing to dare to do, the common people were a group of lambs to be slaughtered and the object of oppression, except for relatives, no one cherished their lives, he had to look at Xiahou Yuan.
Although there was still a trace of friendship for his former and present companions, at the moment when he was abandoned by Cao Cao without hesitation in exchange for Xiahoudun, his heart ...... It's already cold. Especially the disdainful eyes of Xiahou Yuan and the generals of the Cao family when he left Xuchang, completely wiped out the little nostalgia he had left. Except for Zhang Liao's gaze with a slight trace of sympathy, the others did not have the slightest emotion, and they were all as cold and indifferent as ice.
The two people immediately confronted each other, like sculptures.
After more than half an hour, the soldiers came back gasping for breath: "Huh...... Reported to the general, General Wei promised to retreat thirty miles! ”
"Thirty miles?" Zhang He was a little puzzled, and his brows furrowed slightly.
He didn't know what Wei Yan was going to do, but Xiahou Yuan would definitely not release him as he wished.
Sure enough, when Zhang He said Wei Yan's decision, Xiahou Yuan immediately said: "Thirty miles is a bit less, but it's okay!" ”
When the people who were driven away heard this, they immediately cheered happily and thanked Zhang He from afar.
But they were obviously happy too early, when the last thousand people were about to stride back to their own side like the people in front, Xiahou Yuan waved his hand, and a team of men and horses immediately blocked the way with swords in their hands, and these people were stunned for a moment...... This...... How did this change?
Xiahou Yuan said to Zhang He: "Since General Wei did not come according to a certain request, then Yuan should also be flexible, these people, let them go later!" ”
Zhang He and Wei Yan have not been together for a long time, but they know that although this person is reckless, he is not a person without strategy, and he must have a plan, and there is also a team of people on the other side of the Han River who pretend to be ambushes, as long as they give an order, they should be able to deal with one or two.
Zhang He then said: "Well, he will retire from the army, and I hope that Miaocai will keep his promise!" ”
"Retreat!" Zhang He gave an order, the front army changed to the rear army, the rear army changed to the front army, and the front army retreated the way it came, and it was not a lie, Xiahou Yuan would definitely send someone to keep an eye on it.
When Zhang He's army walked away, Xiahou Yuan said to the remaining people: "You General Wei don't plan to let everyone live, but this general is not a person who loves to kill, as long as you can do what I ask, you will definitely not die!" ”
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, and when they saw that those Cao soldiers had brought a lot of armor, they immediately shouted and put them on, divided them into more than ten parts, and caught up with the dozen or so ships, and ordered them to sail to the center of the river. But strangely, none of Cao Bing got on board.
Seeing that the people were reluctant to sail the boat, one of Cao Jun's men immediately stabbed a spear in his hand at one person, and the man immediately screamed miserably and fell into the river, and the red blood stained a large piece of cold river.
Everyone didn't dare to disobey anymore, and immediately rowed the boat towards the center of the river in a panic.
Xiahou Yuan took out his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow from a distance, and a person on a boat was immediately hit by an arrow and fell into the river.
"If you dare to be lazy, you will end up like him!" Xiahou Yuan shouted loudly, and for a while, everyone changed color, did not dare to resist, and obediently drove downstream along the river.
Xiahou Yuan sneered and turned back to his subordinates and said, "Pass my order and march fifty miles north!" ”
At this time, Wei Yan, who was leading an army of 15,000 to garrison the camp, sneered after getting the news: "Ignorant Xiahou Yuan, do you think that those five or six hundred people can become his talisman?" The 1,000 men and horses on the south bank were ordered to block all the boats in the river, and all the people on board were killed! ”
Although these centaurs are not a naval army, they live in the land of Jingxiang, where the water system is developed, and compared to the Cao army, the water combat is still much stronger.
The Cao army evacuated, Wei Yan found out that all the Cao troops in the west city had left, and immediately led his men and horses into the city, but just half an hour later, suddenly a sergeant came to report in a panic: "General, the big thing is not good, there is a fire in the city!" ”
"Huh? How can it catch fire? Where did the fire start? Wei Yan's face changed suddenly.
The sergeant said, "There are fires in many parts of the city, and the people who have entered the city are rushing to flee outside the city, and flammable materials of sulfur have been found in many places. ”
Wei Yan said angrily: "Xiahou thief's mind is too vicious! Chuan ordered 5,000 people to withdraw from the city, meet General Zhang He, and immediately go to Meridian Valley! The rest of the people immediately stopped the people from fleeing, put out the fire, and killed any suspicious people if they found them! ”
Wei Yan made a decisive decision, and the entire Xicheng City immediately burst into chaos, and there were people everywhere.
Two hours later, the fire in the whole city was extinguished, and more than 100 suspicious people were found at the same time, killing seventy or eighty, and capturing more than 20 people alive.
It happened that a scout came to report that Cao Jun had been found fifty miles north of the city. At the same time, the 1,000 men and horses on the south bank of the Han River returned to the city to restore their lives and kill more than 1,000 "Cao Army" in the river!
Wei Yan sent people to announce the whole city, and the rest of the people were all killed by the Cao army in the Han River, but this Cao army had already been killed by him.
In the morning, he was driven out of the city, but when he returned to the city, he encountered a fire, and witnessed the death of many relatives and friends, and now he heard again that these people were killed by Cao Jun, and they were all relatives and friends of many people in the city.
It's not that Wei Yan doesn't know that these people are ordinary people, but he secretly left an eyeliner, and when he learned that Xiahou Yuan's words to those people, those people thought that Wei Yan had abandoned them, and it was the government that had abandoned them, and the so-called deeper the love, the more hatred became, so they planted a seed of hatred for the Jingzhou Army in their hearts, and when Wei Yan learned of this, he immediately changed his original plan to rescue them and strangle this sprout!
Wei Yan's whole body was full of murderous sounds, the cold light flashed in his eyes, and he sneered: "Xiahou Yuan, look at what other tricks you have!" ”
