Chapter 340: The Up-and-Coming Sima Yi
Sure enough, as he expected, there were no soldiers and horses under Zhang Fei's command in the east of the city, Lu Xun asked a general to hurry out of the city with a sergeant, and he stayed behind to break the back, finally, all 10,000 soldiers and horses went out of the city, Lu Xun rode his horse and pressed at the end, after leaving the city, he seemed to have heard the sound of the north gate being breached, sighed, and his heart was still cheap Zhang Fei after all.
But when he quickly withdrew a few miles in the direction of Jiangdong, Lu Xun, who was unwilling, looked back in the direction of Hefei again, but this look made him stop directly, and a puzzled look appeared on his face.
It turned out that the north of the city was originally a team of more than twenty or thirty thousand men and horses, and there was no torch, I don't know when I touched the city gate, and I was using the siege equipment that had been prepared to break the door, but when Lu Xun went out just five miles away, the north of Hefei was already in flames, listen carefully, and there were countless shouts to kill, obviously, these people who originally attacked the north of Hefei were attacked by a large group of people who came out of nowhere.
And what confirmed Lu Xun's idea was Zhang Fei, who had slowly swallowed up the suspicious soldiers before, at this time he didn't care about breaking through the city gate and entering the city, but hurriedly led a team of cavalry outside the city to rush to the place where the battle was fought in the north of the city, obviously it was Zhang Fei's companions who were attacked, but the team was obviously prepared, Zhang Fei led the army just start, and was intercepted and killed by a team of men and horses, unable to rush to the rescue.
"How can this be, I haven't seen this team of people in Hefei City all these days......"
Lu Xun secretly said in his heart, this battle really opened his eyes, before Zhuge Liang repeatedly defeated him with strange schemes, and now just when he thought that Zhuge Liang's plan had been realized, Hefei was about to be owned by Zhuge Liang, this sudden change aroused Lu Xun's curiosity.
"Could it be that Liu Feng sent troops here?"
Just thinking of Liu Feng, Lu Xun shook his head again, and ruled out this idea, he knew that Liu Feng's forces were in the south of Jingzhou and Yizhou, even if he wanted to take Cao Cao's territory, it would definitely not be a place like Hefei that was not adjacent to his own territory.
But apart from Liu Feng, who else in this world still has such the ability to judge Zhuge Liang's strategy and have such patience to wait until he shows his feet, Cao Zhi, a young man who has just inherited the Wei State, did not appear in Lu Xun's mind.
Thinking of this, countless question marks surged in Lu Xun's heart, he looked at the sergeant who was hurriedly retreating towards Jiangdong, gritted his teeth, and said to the guards who followed him: "Leave five hundred of my personal guards here, and the rest will return to Jianye quickly, and report this battle to the lord, just say that we have captured Hefei, but we have not been able to hold it, don't say anything else, and make a decision after I go back!" ”
After the guard conveyed his order with a questioning face, Lu Xun quickly beckoned, and a group of people followed him to a nearby hill, where they could see the battle situation in the north of Hefei City.
A few years later, Lu Xun admired this decision very much, and it was this battle that had a very far-reaching impact on Lu Xun, making him completely see and accept his defeat, and at the same time arouse his fighting spirit......
In order to see it more realistically, Lu Xun took the risk of walking forward alone for two or three miles, and then he saw clearly that the person in ambush was Zhang Liao, who had fought with Jiangdong soldiers and horses several times before, and when Lu Xun saw it clearly, Zhang Fei was already fighting with Zhang Liao, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
But the chaotic battle did not last too long, Zhang Fei came in a hurry, and the people who had been attacking the north gate of Hefei were led by Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, and the siege was acceptable step by step.
Lu Xun lay on a hillside for more than an hour, and this more than an hour made him see the strength of the Wei State clearly, and knew how ridiculous it was for them to blindly and take it for granted that the Wei State was slaughtered by others, looking at Zhang Fei, who was unwilling to retreat in the end, Lu Xun sighed, got up and walked towards the place where the guards were, but what he thought in his heart was: Jiangdong is afraid that this time he has really become the weakest of the four remaining forces in the Central Plains.
In five days, Cao Wei's prestige in the Battle of Hefei spread all over the Central Plains, and naturally, it also reached the ears of Liu Feng, who was far away in Chengdu.
"Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan didn't take advantage of Hefei? Cao Zhi only sent Zhang Liao, a group of strange soldiers, to see through Zhang Fei's strategy and repel it? ”
Liu Feng read the urgent war report compiled by Lu Su, obviously a little unbelieving in his heart. Cao Zhi is indeed a bit intelligent, and Yang Xiu under his command is not a stupid person, but Liu Feng knows that most of the two are not Zhuge Liang's opponents, not to mention that Zhuge Liang used a clever trick this time, Liu Feng secretly thought to himself that even if he encountered such a situation, he could not guarantee to see through Zhuge Liang's strategy, and a mere Zhang Liao led the army alone to break Zhuge Liang's serial siege plan, which was really incomprehensible to Liu Feng.
"So it seems that the lord is slightly the same as what we see......
Seeing that Liu Feng had this question, Pang Tong and Xu Shu in front of him also glanced at each other and said with a smile. The two and Zhuge Liang can be regarded as old rivals who have been fighting for many years, especially when Xu Shu was in his twenties, he was friends with Zhuge Liang, so it is said that Zhang Liao alone broke Zhuge Liang's serial strategy and defeated Zhang Fei and Lu Xun, and the two also disagreed.
Liu Feng didn't answer when he heard this, but looked at Lu Su's very detailed letter, and finally handed over the garrison of Hefei to Yin Ban after Zhang Liao recovered the fertilizer mentioned by Lu Su at the end, and then saw the clues in the words of himself, Yang Xiu, and Sima Yi who returned to Yecheng to resume their lives.
Yang Xiu and Sima Yi, these two were originally just advisors of Cao Zhi and Cao Pi respectively, so they did not have too high popularity among other forces in the Central Plains.
But in Liu Feng's memories of his two lives, these two people are not fuel-efficient lamps, among which Yang Xiu had seen Liu Feng when he was in Jiangling a few years ago, but Yang Xiu's impression on Liu Feng was that he was a person who was arrogant and arrogant, and exaggerated, even if this kind of person was very smart, but under the unstable mentality, it was absolutely difficult to make a big difference, and Sima Yi, although Liu Feng had not personally dealt with him, but he faintly felt in his heart that Zhang Liao could repel Zhang Fei so easily this time, It must be inseparable from Sima Yi in his army, and this also shows from the side that Cao Zhi has already reused Sima Yi quite much.
