Chapter 253, Gather the Crowd to Counsel
Changan!
Han Sui personally sat here, with no less than 30,000 troops around him, relying on the strong city to deal with Ma Chao, Zhang Hengchengyi occupied the right Fufeng's governance Huaili, Ma Teng and Ma Dai occupied Gaoling, the land of Sanfu, and almost two-thirds of the territory fell into the hands of Han Sui.
The two sides did not give in to each other, fighting endlessly, Ma Chao personally led the troops to storm Chang'an, which has been stalemate for half a month, and there is still no progress.
But that night, the grain and grass in the city suddenly burst into flames, much to everyone's surprise.
The flames soared, the flames soared into the sky, and the raging fire rolled and circled mercilessly, burning all the grain and grass that Han Sui had finally scavenged.
After Han Sui got the news, he was furious and immediately ordered to put out the fire, his eyes were red, and he trembled with anger, just like a crazy beast.
The city was in a panic, like a mess of frying, Ma Chao was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the siege of the city overnight.
Han Sui's soldiers were busy fighting the fire while resisting Ma Chao, the order was chaotic, like a hornet's nest, barely holding the city, but Han Sui's side was not happy at all, the grain and grass were burned overnight, the morale of the army plummeted, and the soldiers who were burned to death by the fire alone were no less than two or three thousand.
No one knew that this was a chess piece arranged by Jia Xu in advance.
As early as when Xu Shu was stationed in Chang'an, no less than dozens of capable spy guards infiltrated the city, and even Xu Shu and Zhao Yun didn't know.
Jia Xu had long expected that as the top priority of the Sanfu Land, Chang'an would definitely become the focus of the struggle between Ma Teng and Han Sui.
First of all, let Xu Shu either take away the equipment to defend the city, or destroy it on the spot, let Ma Teng Han Sui directly enter the most fierce hand-to-hand combat, no matter who defends the city, the advantage will not be too big, and the spy guards secretly lurked, first stay on the sidelines, Jia Xu has explained, if Han Sui can't hold Chang'an, there is almost no need to set fire, if Ma Chao can't take Chang'an, the spy guards will take decisive action and help him.
The purpose is to inflict a certain heavy blow on Han Sui's troops, and try to balance the strength of the two families.
One is a tiger, the other is a lion, the strength of the two is equal, this is the result Jia Xu wants to see the most, if one rabbit, the other is a wolf, there is no suspense about the victory, then there is no meaning.
Arson, this is just one of the endless means of spying.
The battle situation on the Chang'an side, someone will be sent to the Bishan military camp in time every moment.
…………
Yuan Shu was called the emperor, and Cao Cao had long expected this day, so he was angry and angry, and he was not surprised.
Regarding how to deal with Yuan Shu, Cao Cao gathered the main civil and military forces around him.
Successfully drove away Lu Bu, everyone's faces were much more relaxed than usual, Cheng Yu took the lead in standing up, "Lord, even if you want to send troops to fight against Yuan Shu, you should wait for the beginning of spring, now the weather is very cold, it is the season of the middle of winter, it is not suitable to raise troops, not to mention that the war in Yanzhou has just ended, and the soldiers are very tired, and they should recuperate for a while." ”
"What Zhongde said is very good, it coincides with me, and it is indeed not appropriate to send troops now, but it is reasonable to make a plan first, and everyone should express their opinions, let's talk about it, and see what high opinions you have."
Guo Jia rubbed his hands, spit out a breath of cold air in his mouth, shrank his body hard, then coughed, and suddenly said, "Then Liu Bei, he has been very idle recently, is the lord about to forget him." ”
"Oh? Feng Xiao didn't mention him, I almost forgot about him. Cao Cao's eyes became a little complicated, both angry and a little envious.
Before, he and Lu Bu fought endlessly, and the two families were inseparable, while Liu Bei watched from the sidelines, gloating at the excitement, secretly recuperating, and it seemed to be the climate.
Cao Cao said with a little emotion, "God really favors Liu Bei, before I went on two expeditions to the east, I tried my best, spent so much money, and almost took down Xuzhou, as a result, Tao Qian died of illness, but Xuzhou fell into the hands of Liu Bei, originally Liu Bei was a worthless plain minister, but now it is good, in just a few months, he has become the lord of Xuzhou, between me and him, this account should really be settled." ”
Cao Hong and the others were also indignant, and when they mentioned it, they were angry, Cao Hong couldn't help but get up and said, "Lord, how can you allow others to sleep on the side of the couch, Liu Bei not only occupies Xuzhou, but now he has taken in Lu Bu, I think let's put Yuan Shu aside first, and clean up Liu Bei first." ”
"yes, he can't be cheaper anymore." Xiahou Yuan also clenched his fists and echoed.
A cold glow flashed in Cao Ren's eyes, "Liu Bei is insidious and cunning, hypocritical benevolence and false righteousness, Gongsun Chan took care of him in every way before, but now his wings are stiff, and he immediately dissociates himself from Gongsun Zhan, I am most unaccustomed to this kind of person, my lord, as long as you give the order, the last general is willing to be a vanguard, send troops to Xuzhou, and personally cut off the head of the big-eared thief and dedicate it to the lord." ”
The generals spoke one after another, the sound became louder and louder, and the tremor was so loud that it almost lifted the roof off.
Guo Jia squinted his eyes and looked lively on the side, and when everyone was almost done, Guo Jia waved his hand and smiled, "To deal with Liu Bei, now is an opportunity, and we don't need to do it ourselves, the lord only needs to let the Son of Heaven issue an edict, and Liu Bei will naturally obediently send troops south to crusade against Yuan Shu." ”
Cheng Yu, Xun You, Mao Jue, Man Chong and others all lit up and agreed.
You don't need to do it yourself at all, you can weaken Liu Bei's strength in vain.
Guo Jia paused for a moment, and then said, "Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Sun Jian...... can come in handy, Yuan Shu called the emperor without authorization, provoked the anger of the heavens, the Son of Heaven issued an edict, the lord of justice and justice, the name is right, naturally all the princes will respond, even if they are reluctant, they must also participate in the war, this is the general trend. ”
Cao Cao was very satisfied with Guo Jia's proposal, and suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and asked, "Everyone, that Changshan Zhao Yun also publicly shouted that he was going to send troops before, I don't know if this matter can be taken seriously, what do you think?" ”
"Zhao Yun?"
Many people sneered, thinking that it was impossible, after all, it was too far away.
Cheng Yu analyzed, "First, the distance is too far, and second, Zhao Yun's own territory has not yet stabilized, at this time, he will never use troops against the Central Plains." ”
Liu Ye nodded and said, "If you really have the energy, you should stabilize your side first, what's more, if he sends troops, isn't he afraid that there will be no return?" ”
Guo Jia lightly knocked on his leg a few times with his fingers, suddenly frowned, and said, "Zhao Yun has always done what he says, not necessarily just casually, but if he really sends troops, there is only one way to go, that is, through Yuzhou, and stationed troops in Chen Guo." ”
