Chapter 376: Jia Xu's Counterattack (I)

At this moment, a human-faced leopard body suddenly appeared on the city, and the various Qianshen beasts with bows and arrows in their hands confronted each other with the fiery red Feiluan under the city.

Suddenly, I also heard a bowstring vibrating, and the sound of breaking the air suddenly rose, and at the same time as the arrow flying towards Cao Hong exploded, then there was another bowstring sound. Zhang Xiu hadn't come back to his senses yet, and saw an arrow flying out, as fast as lightning, and hurriedly moved away from it, but it was too late, 'snap', the helmet flew away, Zhang Xiu let out a roar, his cloak was scattered, his eyes were full of resentment, and he looked at the city.

I saw that the treasure bow with a fire pattern blue scale leopard head armor, a bow with a blue body, made of dark iron, and carved with flying leopard patterns, was Xiahou Yuanye.

"Zhang family child, if you want to compare archery with the master, you are still far behind!" Xiahou Yuan smiled and said, the more he looked at Zhang Xiu's handsome face, the more he smiled brightly.

"Alright, alright. This little General Zhang is young and ambitious, less than thirty, he is already a prince, how could he have been so hit. Now that we have taken Xuchang, we don't have to humiliate him anymore.

The so-called winner is the king, and the loser is the villain, and then there is General Xiao Zhang who plots to stay with Chen first, so don't blame me for wanting to save myself and come to Xuchang. It is absolutely impossible for us to return Xuchang City, so in order to avoid innocent sacrifices, we also ask General Xiao Zhang to withdraw. At this time, I saw a dissolute and uninhibited man with long hair floating in the wind, dressed in a simple linen white coat, appeared above the city, and said leisurely and unhurriedly. After that, I didn't forget to give a salute to Zhang Xiu. Although it sounds good, with his hanging, pampered and unfazed appearance, it makes people feel ironic.

Zhang Xiu was so angry that she blushed.

"Hey! The military advisor is clearly your plan, how can you pretend that it has nothing to do with you!? ”

"That's right, wasn't it what you said at the beginning, our army attacked Liang County, once the war with Yuan Shu started, that Zhang Xiu'er boasted of being extraordinary, despised the heroes of the world, and saw the rise of the heroes in various places at the moment, he would not be willing to lag behind, and sent troops to commit Chen Liu. And at that time, it was a good time for our army to surprise the treasure land of Xuchang! ”

But listening to Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan, I said a word, and Zhang Xiu's hatred increased greatly, and he gritted his teeth! And that unruly man is Cao Cao's military advisor - Xi Zhicai!

"Talky!! Now that we have obtained Xuchang, we don't have to lose troops with this idiot, it's better to calm the anger of this idiot and let him withdraw obediently!! Xi Zhicai pretended to be angry, and shouted at Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, those two fools said it so forcefully, and Zhang Xiu's whole face was colorless.

"Damn Cao family's lackey, Master Zhang, I will kill them all, and leave no one~~!!" Zhang Xiu roared angrily, like crazy, suddenly galloped up and flew up, pulled the bow violently, and shot towards Xi Zhicai.

Because of the proximity and the fact that they were fired from horses, the arrows were extremely fast, and they were almost as far as they could see.

However, Xiahou Yuan was not slow, he pulled the bow and shot, and the arrow flew fast, and the 'snap' hit Zhang Xiu's flying arrow.

Zhang Xiu saw that his arrow was broken again, and he shouted angrily, and was about to pull the bow again. Cao Cao, who had been watching with a smile on his face, suddenly stood up, and gave an order, and the arrows in the city were fired in a volley, Zhang Xiu was unexpected, and hurriedly pulled out his horse to flee for his life, while blocking the arrows with random guns.

In the midst of danger, Zhang Xiu still couldn't escape, and was shot in the back by a loss, screaming in pain. As expected, Zhang Xiu's subordinates arrived and rescued Zhang Xiu together.

At this moment, the sudden sound of killing sounded from both sides of the north gate and the south gate, and it was Xiahoudun and Le Jin who led the troops to kill and attack Zhang Xiujun.

"Damn, I fell for the villain's tricks!!" When Zhang Xiu heard this, he immediately reacted, knowing that from just now, Cao Cao's subordinates in the city deliberately used the method of agitation to delay the time for these two soldiers and horses to attack.

How dare Zhang Xiu slack off at this time, he hurriedly pulled out the arrow behind his back, and immediately shouted and withdrew. Seeing that Zhang Xiu wanted to escape, Cao Cao gave another order, and the city gate was immediately opened, and the army swarmed out, with a momentum like a rainbow.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiu had several die-hard generals who had followed Zhang Ji for many years, and they were willing to lead troops to break off, so they first blocked the pursuit of Cao Cao's army. Zhang Xiu was so frightened that he lost his soul and fled for his life, and soon Xiahoudun and Le Jin rushed to the left and right, cutting off Zhang Xiu's army. Seeing this, Cao Cao's army also fought hard, and the three armies attacked together, and after a while, Zhang Xiu's army was defeated on all fronts, and the chaos was out of control.

Immediately, there were various heralds, leading Cao Cao's order to rush out, wandering around, shouting that whoever captures Zhang Xiu can be named the marquis of a thousand households and rewarded with three hundred taels of gold. So all the generals were excited, and galloped after them. Zhang Xiu, under the cover of dozens of soldiers and hundreds of cavalry, fled with his life all the way. Cao Cao's generals led their troops to pursue, and there was a tendency for thousands of troops and horses to rush together.

Zhang Xiu panicked, ran for fifty or sixty miles, and took advantage of the cover of night to escape dangerously. The next day, he was found by Cao Cao's men and horses, and was immediately forced into a mountain hundreds of miles away from Xuchang. When Cao Cao heard this, he ordered the generals to surround the mountain, and when he was about to rush there, he suddenly reported that Jia Xu, the military advisor under Zhang Xiu, had united with Liu Pi and Gong Du, the remnants of the Yellow Turban, to kill them, and led tens of thousands of troops. At the same time, Jia Xu sent another secret letter.

Cao Cao was shocked, took a look at the secret letter, his face changed, and after looking at it, he couldn't help but sigh: "This Jia Wen and Zhen are geniuses in the world." I'm afraid he had long expected that Zhang Xiu would be ambushed here in Xuchang, but the terrible thing is that he avoided a decisive battle with my elite soldiers, and would rather put his master in danger, but instead killed Chen Liu, who had weak troops, with Liu Pi, Gong Du and other thieves, in order to force me to spare Zhang Xiu. ”

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, he couldn't help but change color. Among them, Liu Ye first frowned and asked, "Lord, I don't understand." If Jia Wenhe led his troops to save Xuchang, wouldn't this be able to rescue his master faster, not to mention that the affairs of the military family are changeable, but in case, if his master dies, how can he afford it? ”

"No, Zilian, you are wrong. Jia Wenhe's method is undoubtedly the best strategy. Because this time I brought all the elite, but with Liu Bi and Gong Du, these rabble, it is impossible to confront our army, not to mention that if you are Liu Pi and Gong Du, will you be willing to fight your best to save Zhang Xiu? ”

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, Cao Hong's heart was shocked, and he soon came to his senses, and said, "I see." ”

"And a thief is a thief, even if Jia Wenhe can persuade Liu Bi and Gong Du, if he owes these two people such a big favor in the future, it will be harmful to Zhang Xiu, and his reputation will be greatly damaged. But if the world thinks that Zhang Xiu has something to do with the remnants of the Yellow Turban, he will become the target of public criticism! Xi Zhicai immediately answered. As soon as he heard the civil and military affairs, the more he sighed.

At this time, Cao Cao smiled again and said: "So, he has a poisonous plan, not only can he use Liu Pi and Gong Du to be willing to lose soldiers and horses to save Zhang Xiu, but also solve these two people." This person's calculations can be described as extremely vicious, and I look at the ancient masters, and the poison of the tricks is really no one out of him. ”

Cao Cao's words confused everyone again. Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai, who smiled faintly and immediately replied: "He must have taken advantage of Zhang Xiu to raise troops, but secretly had an affair with Liu Pi and Gong Du, and deliberately taught these two to take advantage of Zhang Xiu's fierce battle with our army to go to the trail to sneak attack Chen Liu, who had weak troops." Liu Pi and Gong Du are both ambitious, but they have been suffering from having nowhere to stand, so they agreed. At this time, Jia Xu secretly came to report, clearly to force the lord to immediately lead his troops back to help. But you think about it, the lord could have taken the opportunity to take the entire Yingchuan land except for Zhang Xiu, but he was ruined by these two jumping clowns, and in anger, how could he let Liu Bi and Gong Du go? As soon as these two people are removed, Jia Wen and Dake will disassociate themselves, and even if someone sees his strategy in the future, they will only respect him.

This person is really powerful, not only Liu, Gong but also his master, and even we were toyed with by him in applause. I'm not as good as him! Xi Zhicai said, his eyes were gorgeous, and while he sighed, his face was more excited.

"Hehe, the military advisor has met an opponent this time." Cao Cao held his chin with his hand and curled his beard, but his face was also full of excitement.

As Cao Cao often said, the war was too bitter, and he always hoped for some surprise. And Jia Xu's appearance can be said to be a big surprise!

"But although Chen Liu's troops are weak, but with the guards of Xun's uncles and nephews, and the support of Chen Liu's major families, it is not difficult to stop a rabble like Liu Pi and Gong Du. Besides, Zhang Xiu is now a turtle in an urn, and killing him is like finding something in his pocket! I think it's worth a gamble! At this time, Xiahou Yuan calmed down and said in a condensed voice, analyzing it, it was also orderly.

When Xi Zhicai heard this, he smiled: "This is where Jia Wen and Gao Zhi are." The lord relied on the word 'gambling' to become famous all over the world. The same is true for assassinating Dong Zhuo, and the same is true for initiating a text to call on the heroes, leading an army alone, and chasing and killing the Xiliang army! The lord is a gambler by nature, so if Jia Wenhe is not sure, how can he dare to take such a big risk? ”

"Does he have anything else to rely on?"

"Yes!"

"Who's that?"

"That's a lot. Yuan Shao, Ma Xi, and Yuan Shu can all rely on him! As soon as Xi Zhicai said this, everyone changed color for a while, and they felt that they had to keep up with his train of thought, and a head was not enough at all.

Cao Cao was different, and said with a smile: "Yuan Shao is now stable in Jizhou, his troops are strong, and he wants to expand his power, he has always regarded me as his old enemy, if he sees Chen Liu's troubles, he will definitely start to plot again." As for Ma Xi, this son is unfathomable and curious, although Yanzhou is unstable, no one dares to guarantee that he will not come to intervene.

As for Yuan Shu, although his jurisdiction is chaotic now, now Cao Ren is entangled with Zhang Xun's army in Yangcheng. Once Cao Ren heard that Chen Liu's troubles had started, it was inevitable that he would be in chaos, so that Zhang Xun could unite with the people in Yangcheng and echo inside and outside. If Cao Ren retreats, he is narrow-minded, and Yuan Shu, who will repay him, will teach him to chase after him and enter Chen Liu! ”

"Besides, don't forget that Jia Xu has an army of 20,000 in Kunyang, and I'm afraid he has come to the vicinity at this time. Once our army kills Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu will definitely chase after our army and fight for it. This is not a gamble at all, but a foregone conclusion that has been set a long time ago, because no matter how the lord chooses, there is only a quick withdrawal of troops and a return to Chen Liu. At the end of Xi Zhicai's speech, his uninhibited smile suddenly became a little more evil, and he looked at Cao Cao.

At this time, Liu Ye's face was full of loneliness, and he shook his head a little unwillingly and said: "I didn't expect that our army was calculating and thinking, and finally took down the treasure land of Xuchang, but it had to be handed over to others." ”

"What!? Why do you want to give up Xuchang!? When Cao Hong heard this, he couldn't hold back anymore and shouted at the top of his voice.
