Zhang Yi didn't know who Xu Ding was, but he still knew something about Sun En, who was the leader of an uprising. However, seeing his characteristics, he turned out to be the leader of a religious uprising.

Uprising is a statement that stands on the side of historical justice, and if it stands on the side of the ruler, it is a rebellion. Religious uprisings or rebellions are innumerable in history. The three Zhang Jiao brothers started this, and then there were more religious uprisings and rebellions. All religions, Taoism, Buddhism, and even evil religions.

From Sun En's Taoist character, this is the leader of a religious uprising. For such a person, Zhang Yi is still a little afraid, he is afraid that this Sun En will mess up his Taoist strategy.

"Where is Sun En's implant?"

"Sun En is now Ge Hong's new apprentice."

I hope Ge Hong can take him well, if this one revolts again, he may have to bear the infamy of being an official forcing the people to rebel.

At this time, Wei Wentong walked in, "Lord, there is movement in Shen County." ”

Zhang Yi raised his head, "Xiahou Yuan can't sit still?" ”

Wei Wentong said: "Tan Ma Lai reported, he just left the city and headed to the east, and he may have attacked Shouchun." ”

Zhang Yi chuckled: "What I'm more interested in is how Xiahou Yuan crosses the Huaishui!" ”

Wei Wentong also laughed, "I also want to know." ”

After Xiahou Yuan arrived in Huaishui, he was also worried, how should he cross the river? He really wanted to sneak attack Shouchun, he also received a military report from Cao Cao yesterday, Zhang Yi actually sent someone to raid the siege troops, and even killed Xu Chu's brother, he was really angry.

He also thinks highly of himself, and the purpose of his raid on Shen County is to prevent Zhang Yi from supporting Gushi County. But Zhang Yi still supported Gu Shi as if he didn't exist. This made Xiahou Yuan a little angry, and he wanted to teach Zhang Yi a lesson.

Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Liao discussed, "Zhang Yi raided and killed Xu Ding, Xu Zhongkang was extremely angry, but for the sake of the lord's cause, he endured his grief and was a model for us. ”

However, Zhang Yi couldn't help it, lest it get more and more intense. I intend to raid Shouchun and force Zhang Yi to return to defense. ”

Zhang Liao had some concerns, "To attack Shouchun, you need to cross the Huaishui, I heard that above the Huaishui, Zhang Yi has a naval army to control, and it may not be easy to cross." ”

Xiahou Yuan said: "It's man-made. ”

Zhang Liao still disagreed, "It's better to attack Shouchun than to attack Zhang Yi's camp, and you don't need to cross the Huaishui River or trek long-distance." ”

Xiahou Yuan shook his head, "I also know, but Shouchun is Zhang Yi's place, and only by smashing Shouchun can Zhang Yi be forced to have no time to take care of Runan." ”

Zhang Liao still persuaded: "It is difficult to attack Shouchun, and it is easy to control Zhang Yiyi, why does the general choose the difficulty and give up the easy?" ”

Xiahou Yuan was very stubborn, "Great plan for the lord!" ”

"Wenyuan, you come to stay in Shen County, I will take Shouchun for myself!"

Zhang Liao was very puzzled, what was Xiahou Yuan going to do? Knowing that it would be difficult to attack Shouchun, why did he still do it?

Xiahou Yuan wandered for three days in the north of Huaishui, but did not find any boats, and did not find a place to cross the river. Huaishui is not an ordinary small river, and this is not the dry season, the narrow place of Huaishui is also more than one mile, how to go without a boat? Swim past? Then wait for death! will definitely be tortured and killed by Zhang Yi's army.

Xiahou Yuan found that he couldn't cross the Huaishui, but he did not withdraw his troops, but sent a probe horse to investigate the movements of Xia Cai and Zhang Yi's camp, only to find that the two sides kept probing, but they just didn't move. Xiahou Yuan saw that there was no opportunity to take advantage of, so he had to return to Shen County.

Zhang Liao was even more puzzled, he only came back after going out for a few days, and it didn't look like he was on the march! It's like going out and having a lot of exercises, and going on an armed march for a few days. What is Xiahou Yuan going to do?

Xiahou Yuan returned to the mansion, immediately wrote a letter to Cao Cao, and then sent someone to send him away. He took out another letter and burned it in a brazier.

This letter was written to him by Cao Cao, and the reason why he expressed his intention to attack Shouchun was actually Cao Cao's strategy. The reason why Cao Cao wanted Xiahou Yuan to be like this was actually mainly to appease Xu Chu, and he had to express an attitude no matter what. Sending people to attack Shouchun was his statement, letting Xu Chu know how heavy he was in his heart.

After Cao Cao received the letter, he smiled a little proudly, and then his face turned pale, and he sent someone to call Xu Chu, and said to him ashamedly: "Zhongkang, I am ashamed of you!" I secretly sent Xiahou Yuan to raid Shouchun, wanting to capture Zhang Yi's family and vent Zhongkang's anger. However, Xiahou Yuan is incompetent, and he can't cross the river by the Huaishui, so I will punish him! ”

Xu Chu said movingly: "The heart of the lord, Chu Xin has it." But don't spoil your plans for Chu! Attacking Zhang Yi should first control the water army, crossing the Huai River needs a water army, crossing the river water needs a water army, and controlling the water army is not a matter of several years. General Miaocai's heart Chu also understands it, but please don't do it for Chu again! ”

Cao Cao was very moved, "Zhongkang is really a good minister!" ”

What a picture of the combination of monarchs and ministers!

Cao Cao used a small strategy to appease Xu Chu, and also eliminated some of Xu Chu's dislike for Cao Hong.

Cao Hong didn't open the door and let Xu Ding's troops enter the camp, Xu Chu would definitely hate Cao Hong! But Cao Cao didn't want this, Xu Chu was his minister, and although Cao Hong was a minister, he was his brother of the same clan and saved his life! If there is a contradiction between the two people, there will definitely be internal friction, which Cao Cao does not want to see. He doesn't want his ministers to collude with his ministers, and he doesn't want his ministers to have grudges with his ministers, whether they love or hate, they are feelings, and feelings will make people lose their minds.

However, human nature is more complicated, and that's all Cao Cao can do, so let Cao Hong sway in front of Xu Chu in the future.

After Cao Cao dealt with Xu Chu's matter, he began to ponder again, where did Zhang Yi's cavalry go? He's a little worried! The enemies in the open are not terrible, but the enemies in the dark are the most terrifying! You know that there is a cavalry hanging around, but you can't find him yet, how dare you send troops with confidence? Therefore, Cao Cao has not sent people to attack the city for several days, and with such a cavalry on the side, the siege troops do not dare to attack the city with all their might.

Liu Bei was in Gushi City, and finally took a breath, there was no Cao soldier attacking the city in the past few days, and he immediately seized the time to consolidate the city defense.

At this time, Zhang Yi also began to move, he left an empty camp for Xiahou Yuan, quietly withdrew the troops from Shuizhai to the south of Huaishui, and secretly came to Di Qing's camp.

"How many soldiers does Cao Ren still have?" Zhang Yi asked Di Qing while observing Cao Ren's camp.

"About three thousand!"

"Let all the soldiers be ready, and attack the camp tomorrow!"
