From sour dates to Chenggao, if you calculate the speed of Han Yan's march on weekdays, it will take three or five days to walk. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info It's just that Cao Cao opened the way at this time, and there was a man named Xiahou Yuan under him, which really surprised Han Yan, and he didn't know what method Xiahou Yuan used, the entire vanguard army under his command was afraid that it would take a hundred miles a day, but it was more than a step faster than usual.

On the same day, by the evening of the third day, the walls of the castle were already in sight.

Looking at the city wall standing in the distance, Han Yan turned his head to look at Hu Min behind him, and said softly: "This is Chenggao!" ”

"Hmm!"

Hu Min responded in a deep voice, but the solemn look on his face did not shrink in the slightest.

And Sun Guan and the others who followed Hu Min were also all sad. Speaking of which, it's no wonder that they are worried, the city wall of this city is somehow more than three zhang high, and it is not a few points shorter than the city wall of Luoyang, such a high wall, it is not easy to attack it.

With his legs lightly clamping the horse's belly, Han Yan drove the horse to Cao Cao's side and said, "Brother, we have arrived in Chenggao!" ”

"Hmmm! I know! Looking at the high wall in front of him, Cao Cao nodded solemnly, then turned his head slightly to Han Yan's side of the test, and said to Cao Hong, who was following closely by him: "Pass the order, cut down trees and build equipment nearby, and prepare to attack the city!" ”

"Brother! The rapid march for several days has made the soldiers under him tired, I think we should correct it first and wait for them to come to Kong Beihai tomorrow......"

Originally, he wanted to discuss with Cao Cao about setting up camp, but when he suddenly heard Cao Cao's order, Han Yan's face suddenly changed color, and he continued to dissuade him.

However, Cao Cao was very resolute, and with a wave of his hand, he directly interrupted Han Yan's next words, "Youxin, I know that you are acting steadily, but have you ever thought about it, now that we are sleepy and tired, once the army is stopped and repaired, it will really be useless, what should you and I do when people come out of Chenggao at this time?" ”

"We can set up camp farther away!"

Han Yan stared at Cao Cao's eyes and argued without flinching.

"A little farther away? How far can it be? Hum! Snorting disdainfully, Cao Cao pointed to the city wall of Chenggao and said coldly: "You look at the high wall, there must be a lot of soldiers in the city, if you don't take advantage of the current time to declare force to them, they will definitely take action against us." By the time we start repairing, once they send troops, we will definitely lose our way out completely! ”

"But ......"

Although he understood what Cao Cao said, Han Yan always felt that this was too risky, so he wanted to argue.

"Hah! If the young master is afraid, then I and General Fenwu will attack the city, and you will sweep the battle on the side, how about it? ”

I don't know when, Bao Tao drove the horse over, and after seeing the situation clearly, he opened his mouth to sarcastically start Han Yan.

"You ......"

Seeing Bao Tao causing chaos to himself at this time, Han Yan's heart immediately ignited with anger, and he wanted to hit someone when he raised his hand.

Without waiting for Han Yan to make further moves, Cao Cao, who was sitting on the mount, spoke, "Okay, that's it!" If you have a letter, I will take Bao Tao to attack the city! ”

After speaking, Cao Cao shook the reins and rode away, and after Bao Tao glanced at Han Yan provocatively, he also followed Cao Cao away, leaving only Han Yan alone, stunned in place.

Seeing that Cao Cao and Bao Tao were leaving with the people, leaving only Han Yan in place, Hu Min and the others immediately drove their horses to Han Yan's side.

"My lord? What's going on? ”

Looking at the distant backs of Cao Cao, Bao Tao and the others, Sun Guan frowned and asked worriedly.

"They...... I want to siege ......"

Han Yan's eyes were closed, and there was a slight tremble.

"What? They want us to storm the city? They're crazy! ”

As soon as Han Yan finished speaking, Chang Yan immediately opened his mouth angrily, and his voice was like thunder, as if he was talking to someone.

"No, they didn't want us to take the city under siege. They want to attack the city themselves, and then let us plunder them......"

Shaking his head slightly, Han Yan opened his mouth to explain.

"Let's sweep the formation? Yes, you can. ”

After Han Yan finished explaining, Chang Yan immediately calmed down and changed his face.

"Okay? What can be? Just know the nonsense! Hu Min glared at Chang Yan on the side quite annoyed, then arched his hand to Han Yan, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, it is almost dusk at this time, not to mention whether there will be an accident in the siege at this time, just ourselves." I have been on the road for more than two days in a row, and I really have to admit that Xiahou Yuan has a set of rectification marches, but in the past two days, everyone has not rested much, we have mounts, but those ordinary soldiers who walk can no longer bear it, and at this time they have to forcibly attack the city, but they are afraid of ...... I'm just afraid ......"

Hu Min's words hesitated and didn't come out, but Han Yan could also say what Hu Min was going to say later, but Han Yan was helpless. With a slight frown, Han Yan looked at Sun Guan on the side, "Zhongtai, what do you think?" ”

"Me?" Sun Guan, who was asked, was stunned for a moment, then straightened his body, and asked rhetorically: "My lord, let me ask you, can you change the decision of those two?" ”

"Ho! No! ”

With a sigh of relief, Han Yan's expression was a little frustrated, but there was only this answer.

"Since you can't change their decision, my lord, what do you want us to do here? Getting our people to safety early is the right thing to do! ”

After determining the answer, Sun Guan became serious and put forward his opinion very seriously.

"Zhongtai, I know all of what you said. Take our people aside first, so that they will not be affected, and if they succeed in attacking the city, then we can also enter the city in a good way; If they lose, then we can rescue them in time. It's just that I said so, but I ...... in my heart."

As he spoke, Han Yan's hand slowly lifted to his chest and pressed it gently.

"Lord, if you continue to hesitate like this, it will be too late when something really happens in a while!"

Seeing that Cao Cao and the others had already made a move, Hu Min couldn't help it, and opened his mouth with Sun Guan to persuade Han Yanlai.

"Hansheng, look ......"

Seeing that several people were persuading him together, as if he was looking for the last straw, Han Yan couldn't help but look at Huang Zhong on the side.

"Childe, let's go!"

I understood Han Yan's thoughts in my heart, but considering the current situation, it was really pointless to continue to dwell here, so Huang Zhong still chose to stand aside with Hu Min and the others.

"You ...... Alas! All right! The order was given, and the whole army rested three miles to the north, and sent some dry food and water a little, so that the soldiers could take a breath, and they would be used later! ”

The people under him had already unified their opinions, and Han Yan naturally didn't want to stick to the only remaining fantasy in his heart, so he gave an order in his heart.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Sun Guan and the others had a straight face, clasped their fists together, and turned around and left the whole army with a promise.

"Whew!"

With a sigh of relief, Han Yan looked at Cao Cao, who was reorganizing the army, with a complicated expression, not knowing what to say.

I and Cao Cao are always going farther and farther!

Just when Han Yan was alone in a daze, Huang Zhong beside him suddenly came over, "Childe? ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

After hearing Huang Zhong's shout, Han Yan immediately woke up and turned his head to look at Huang Zhong.

"Sun Guan and the others have already taken people three miles away, do you want to go over now?"

Following Han Yan's gaze, Huang Zhong also saw Cao Cao's side, so he couldn't help but speak softly.

On the other side, because of Bao Tao's relationship, Cao Cao's army was still going on chaotically. Han Yan shook his head slightly and sighed, "Alas! Let's go! ”

As he spoke, Han Yan turned his horse's head and rushed to Sun Guan with Huang Zhong and Hu Min.

By the time Han Yan arrived at Sun Guan and the others, the three of them had already lit a bonfire, roasted dry food, and of course, a bloody rabbit hanging aside.

"It's ......"

Turning over and dismounting, Han Yan pointed to the rabbit that had been stripped of its skin and belly, and looked at Sun Guan.

"Oh, this, I happened to see it when I was reorganizing the army just now, and Chang Feng casually called for the lord to give you a taste."

Nibbling on the hard dry food in his hand, Sun Guan explained indifferently, as if he had no idea about this rabbit.

"Huh! The soldiers are all cold dry food with cold water, you guys, let me roast a rabbit? What is this trying to do? Isolate me? ”

Turning around and sitting next to Sun Guan, Han Yan joked with Sun Guan and the others.

"Haha! You're the lord, so it's time to eat something good! ”

Chang Feng smiled as he turned over the roast rabbit not far in front of him.

"Chang Xuan, you talk a lot!"

may feel that Chang Xuan's words are a little inappropriate, and Sun Guan opened his mouth to reprimand.

"Okay, okay, it's okay!" Han Yan didn't care about Chang Yan's gaffe, after all, he was usually very heartless, but Han Yan didn't have much appetite for rabbits, so he waved his hand lightly, and then continued: "I'm not hungry yet, you can share this rabbit!" ”

"Lord ......"

Obviously, Han Yan had something on his mind, and Hu Min, who saw this situation, couldn't help but shout.

"Childe, are you worried about Lord Cao?"

Huang Zhong had been following Han Yan for a long time, so he naturally understood Han Yan's worries at this time, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he pointed to the crux of the problem.

"Yes and no." Contrary to everyone's expectations, Han Yan nodded, but then shook his head again, and waited for everyone to be confused, Han Yan pointed to the city wall in the distance, and said: "You see, although this city wall is said to be tall, but it is not insurmountable, if I am the defender of Chenggao, then at this time, my brother and they have not finished the army, it is the best time for me to attack when there is chaos, otherwise once they are ready, there will be a fierce battle, and in this way, it is not necessary." ”

"My lord, maybe there aren't many soldiers stationed in the city?"

As if joking, Yin Li said casually.

"Such an important location, close to the revolving gate, and to the east there are towns such as Xingyang, as long as they are not three-year-old children, they know how to garrison here. But now the question is, why didn't they come out and attack? ”

Pointing at Cheng Gao, Han Yan felt heavy, but began to analyze it slowly.

Sun Guan, who had been in battle for a long time, his face became gloomy after listening to Han Yan's words, and after muttering for a while, he said: "I should have come out but didn't come out, if it wasn't for the fact that there were not many defenders in the city, there was only one possibility over there...... The defenders of the city are extremely confident in themselves, and he believes that with some of us, they will not be able to attack the walls of the city! ”

"So that's ...... Castle ...... How many people are there?! ”

Han Yan's eyes began to show fear, looking at the city walls of Chenggao, his expression was cloudy.

"Childe, if you want me to say that it's useless for you to think about this, don't you still have to fight no matter how many people are in the city? Regardless of the outcome of the battle, will you stop when it's time for you to make a move? Instead of thinking about these useless things, it is better to hurry up and eat something, and you will have strength for a while. Huang Zhong said, picked up a piece of dry food from the campfire and handed it to Han Yan, "It's ready to go, and the siege equipment is basically formed, if you don't eat it now, you will really have to do it later, but you won't have time to eat dry food!" ”

"Ho! You! ”

Smiling and seeing the dry food in Huang Zhong's hand, Han Yan couldn't help laughing, Huang Hansheng, who had been with him for the longest time, still knew how to persuade himself better than others.

Just three miles away from Han Yan, Cao Cao looked at the tall city wall in front of him and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"What? Is General Fenwu afraid? Do you want me to lead the way for you? ”

I don't know when, Bao Tao drove his horse to Cao Cao's side, listening to Cao Cao's inhaling voice, he couldn't help but start mocking.

"Oh? You're going to take the lead? Cao Cao, who was worried about the city wall, turned his head to look Bao Tao up and down after hearing Bao Tao's words, followed by his hands and fists, and said loudly: "Since you have petitioned, then this pioneer position is naturally not good for others, the wall is high and dangerous, you have to be more careful!" ”

"Huh? You! ”

Bao Tao originally just said it casually, but now that Cao Cao said it so loudly, it was really defenseless.

However, no matter what Bao Tao thought, after finishing speaking, Cao Cao had already shook the reins and drove the horse away, leaving Bao Tao stunned in place.

"Big brother, isn't that right?"

Cao Hong followed closely behind Cao Cao, looked back at Bao Tao, who was stunned in place, and couldn't help but dissuade him in a low voice.

"Not so good? Then let our people rush up and send them to their deaths? Glancing at Cao Hong beside him, Cao Cao then sighed, "Alas! It was not a good decision to attack the city as soon as we arrived in Chenggao, but there is no way to do it now, but there are people who are willing to give us a way, which is not good for him and ...... But it's excellent! ”
