Chapter 337: Hind Hand

There is no doubt that the battle on the battlefield of Hefei is several times more fierce than that of Wei Xing, which is naturally due to the important geographical location of Hefei, as well as the psychological reason for Lu Xun's meritorious service, and of course the reason why Lu Xun has more superb military talent than Yu Ban.

It is precisely because of this that when Yu Ban was finally repelled by Lu Xun on the whole line, this extremely difficult siege battle finally showed a ray of light in Lu Xun's view, Hefei, the gateway to the northeast of the Yangtze River, was finally going to be owned by Jiangdong in his hands, compared to the previous return of Lu Meng's troops, his own contribution was obviously much heavier.

But he ignored Cao Zhi's talent, and also ignored Zhuge Liang, who had been tightly bitten with Jiangdong all these days, and just as he had just relaxed his tense nerves, a thunderbolt of news reached his ears, Zhang Fei, an extremely difficult opponent appeared in the rear of his army.

At this point, Lu Xun finally understood Zhuge Liang's intentions, he regretted that his attention was completely attracted by Cao Cao's death, and did not send a reliable person to find out whether Zhuge Liang sent troops, but only determined that Zhuge Liang himself was in Xiangyang City at this time, but Zhang Fei at this time was enough for him to completely give up his hard-earned achievements, otherwise, after a loss of troops, most of the results would still be the same.

But people's hearts are sometimes incalculable, Lu Xun is among the Jiangdong generals, can be regarded as a representative of the Shaozhuang faction, this expedition, he represents not only him, but dozens of young generals behind him, if this battle is so under the coercion of Zhang Fei to retreat, he not only can not report the cause and effect of this battle to Sun Quan, but also can not face those generals who are usually the only ones who look forward to him, so after getting the news that Zhang Fei led the army to roll in, he made a decision that no one could imagine.

Lu Xun decided to leave the rear army of 5,000 to resist Zhang Fei, and he led the army to break through the last line of defense in Hefei according to the previous plan, such a desperate approach, not only could most of the 5,000 soldiers left behind not be saved, once he could not pocket Hefei before the 5,000 soldiers were defeated, then whether he could calmly return to Jiangdong would become a problem.

Such a change not only made Zhang Fei, who was originally preparing to take Hefei without blood, a little unprepared, but Zhang Liao, who was ambushed in the dark and paying attention to the situation on the battlefield, did not expect that seeing that there were not many sergeants left on Lu Xun's side, Zhang Liao did not rush to take action, but continued to observe the situation on the battlefield, and reported the matter to Cao Zhi as quickly as possible.

At this time, Cao Zhi and everyone were discussing this matter.

Everyone had already finished expressing their opinions, and the two old ministers thought that they should wait until Zhang Fei and Lu Xun had completely separated the winners and losers before sending troops.

And the sharp-edged Yang Xiu bluntly said that Lu Xun should not be allowed to enter Hefei half a step, and should first defeat Lu Xun's soldiers and horses, which were already a tired army, and then attack Zhang Fei together with Yu Ban's remnants, he is very confident in Zhang Liao's ability, and Jiangdong soldiers and horses and Zhang Fei will never be united, so this battle, defeating the two forces, can play a great deterrent role in Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang.

But Sima Yi once again said his true thoughts under Cao Zhi's persecution, and his true thoughts were different from others.

According to Sima Yi's words, if Zhuge Liang really only sent Zhang Fei's team to Hefei, it could indeed have the effect of reaping the benefits, but Zhuge Liang would never simply think that Cao Jun had no arrangement in Hefei, and Hefei was an important town, close to Xuzhou, which was under the jurisdiction of Cao Jun, so Sima Yi thought that Zhuge Liang would most likely have another layer of insurance behind Zhang Fei in case Zhang Fei lost, so Zhang Liao should not act rashly at this time. And Sima Yi suggested that Cao Zhi quickly ordered the defenders in Hefei City not to resist too much, and that a small number of Lu Xun's soldiers and horses should be put into Hefei City, and then see how things develop.

Such a bold suggestion immediately aroused the refutation of several other people, and handed over such a heavy place as Hefei to others, just to observe the possible backhand of Zhuge Liang, such a move is indeed a bit too bold, and once Zhuge Liang has no backhand, and Zhang Fei took the lead in breaking Hefei, it is not easy to take it again, not to mention, the destruction of this important town of Hefei is also very large.

However, Cao Zhi himself did not rush to speak, but thought about the feasibility of Sima Yi's words in his mind, and he suddenly felt that if he really did this, then there seemed to be no other adverse results except for the possible damage to the city of Hefei.

The most important thing is that Cao Zhi wanted to see if Sima Yi was casually speaking wild words to perfunctory himself, or if he really had such an inference, he couldn't help but think of some of the advice that Cao Cao had said to him about Sima Yi before, and it was only then that he learned that a peerless hero like his father had killed Sima Yi several times, and was impeccable by Sima Yi.

You must know that Cao Cao once had a killing intent on Yang Xiu, and it was Cao Zhi who bluntly said that he needed Yang Xiu to contain Cao Zhen and Sima Yi under Cao Pi's command, so Cao Cao let Yang Xiu go, so Cao Zhi knew better than anyone how terrible Cao Cao's killing intent was, so at this time, he wanted to really see Sima Yi and see if he could use it for himself.

The mind has been decided, Cao Zhi waved his hand to interrupt everyone's argument, and said: "According to what Zhong Da said, and Zhong Da and Dezu immediately set off to Hefei to assist General Wenyuan, if Zhuge Liang really has a back hand, he must be uprooted, and the people of Hefei must also be appeased. ”

Cao Zhi said that, seeing that Yang Xiu still wanted to speak, he hurriedly glanced at him, and Yang Xiu stopped asking each other after he understood, and led the order and Sima Yi to walk out of the court one after another.

And outside the city of Hefei, at this time the fight is also into the white-hot degree, just Zhang Liao waited in vain for a few days, seeing that the desperate Lu Xun was about to break through Hefei, some of them couldn't bear to send troops, Yang Xiu and Sima Yi finally arrived, the two of them informed Zhang Liao of Cao Zhi's order, although Zhang Liao was also very puzzled in his heart, but still did not act rashly, but sent a powerful person to Hefei, telling the defenders not to resist anymore, just put Lu Xun into the city.
