Chapter 20: Pengcheng Reinforcements
Hearing this, Mi Zhu's originally brisk steps were instantly sluggish, and he stood three steps away from Zhang Min. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Lord, I'm here to tell you a good news, I've calculated carefully, it's been ten days since the Cao army invaded our Xuzhou, and the military rations they brought should be very little, and if they delay for two more days, they will starve to death outside the city, haha!" Mi Zhu shook his hand, "At this time, you let me pass, didn't you let me die?" Maybe Cao Cao was hungry and stewed me ruthlessly, and he didn't even give the bones to the lord! ā
Mi Zhu was still unfinished, and seeing that Zhang Min's face was becoming more and more ugly, he hurriedly stopped.
"That's why I let you go!" Zhang Min smiled bitterly, "If Cao Cao is extremely hungry and goes to the surrounding villages to sweep, or even burns and loots all the way back to Yanzhou, we can't stop it with few people." ā
"My lord, what do you mean, do you want me to sue for peace?" Mi Zhu hesitated a little, "Under the good situation, isn't it a pity to seek peace, if Cao Cao can be left under Tancheng, then Yanzhou will be a borderless land, the lord will move north, and take Yanzhou and Yuzhou one after another, then half of the world will be in the hands of the lord!" ā
"At that time, I will be Liu Bang, and you will be Zhang Liang, right?" Zhang Min glared fiercely, "Go and dream of your Spring and Autumn Festival!" Can you keep Cao Cao, he still has an army of 40,000, and under the banner of avenging his father, he can't do anything! If you force him to be anxious and slaughter all the places outside Pengcheng and Tancheng, will you let me be a widow! ā
The words were quick and urgent, and Mi Zhu's face was flushed.
"Lord, Zizhong can't think about it for a while, don't pay attention to him." Chen Deng hurriedly played a round, "If he asks for peace, Cao Cao will definitely threaten him, so what conditions do we promise him?" ā
"Return all the captured Cao Jun to him, and provide him with military rations for ten days, on the condition that he must return to Yanzhou within ten days!"
"My lord, it's inappropriate for the lower officials to do this." Chen Deng hesitated, "If Cao Cao always threatens the people in the future, then won't we shrink back forever?" ā
"After this battle, he won't be able to take care of me, the enemy who killed his father, for many years to come!" Zhang Min pursed his lips and said affirmatively: "This time we will make him proud, we will send him back, and it is the only time!" ā
"Zizhong, are you going?" Zhang Min looked at Mi Zhu after speaking.
"The lord has an order, sooner rather than later, the next official will go!"
Find a basket, Mi Zhu squatted in it, shouted for someone to hang the basket, and let himself out of the city. Just as he was about to walk towards Cao Ying, there was a sudden shout of killing in the distance, he was a little surprised, and looked back at Zhang Min on the city tower.
"Come back first!" Zhang Min looked at the killing sound in the direction of Cao Ying, and called for someone to pick up Mi Zhu.
"Lord, it seems that reinforcements are coming from the direction of Pengcheng, did you arrange backup when you left?" Chen Deng was a little surprised, if Pengcheng's soldiers and horses came at this time, attacked back and forth, and defeated Cao Cao, it would be no problem to defeat Cao Cao, and then it would be war or peace, and Cao Cao would not be in charge!
"Nope! When I left, Pengcheng left 20,000 recruits, and although the Cao army outside the city was killed and scattered, the main general Xiahoudun did not know where to go, and he would definitely organize men and horses to block Pengcheng again and leave a way back for Cao Cao. ā
While speaking, a group of men and horses rushed through the Cao army camp and came directly to the city, led by a general who was unusually strong.
"I'm General Pengcheng Anbei, sit down and take care of it! I came to the aid of Tancheng on the order of Miss Zhen Luo, and please open the city gate! ā
Zhang Min was stunned, I don't have this number one under my subordinates!
"Lord, is there a deception, or shoot him with an arrow?" Mi Fang ran over at this time, and when she saw Zhang Min's face was different, she suggested loudly.
"Wait!" Zhang Min stopped him and shouted at the generals under the city: "There is a certificate!" ā
Under the city is Guan Hai, he took out his bow and arrows, and hung a letter on it, "This is a handwritten letter from Miss Mi!" With that, an arrow was shot at the wall. ā¦,
Mi Zhu hurriedly ran over, took it and opened it to take a look, "Lord, it's my sister-in-law's handwriting, saying that this person is the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and he came to you with 100,000 horses, and Zhen Luo arranged for him to come with 20,000 soldiers to help us." ā
"Who is this Zhen Luo?" Mi Zhu's eyes widened, and when she heard it, it was a woman's name, didn't this lord have a new love?
Zhang Min glanced at him, almost killed each other, turned around and instructed Mi Fang: "Order all the people, let's kill them!" ā
The gate of Tancheng was wide open, and Zhang Min rushed out with three thousand Danyang soldiers.
"Guan Hai is it!" Zhang Min shouted, "Do you dare to kill me again?" ā
"Why don't you dare!" Guan Hai urged the horse to follow behind Zhang Min.
Cao Jun was only flanked by the front and back three days ago, this time he was prepared, but he was not too flustered, and when Zhang Min led people to kill, they had already formed a formation, and there was no opportunity for people to take advantage of.
"Gather the people, let's go back to the city!" Seeing that nothing could be done, Zhang Min took the Danyang Soldiers Palace, and asked Mi Fang to lead Guan Hai back to the city first, and then he broke away from Cao's army and ran back to Tancheng.
"General Guan, how is the situation in Pengcheng?" As soon as Zhang Min entered the city, he couldn't help but ask Guan Hai directly.
Guan Hai looked at him, looked left and right, and had some questions, "Are you?" ā
"He is the Anbei general Zhang Mengxuan you are going to defect to!" Mi Zhu couldn't help but interject.
"I've seen General Anbei, everything is fine in Pengcheng, Miss Mi Zhen will make you feel at ease."
Zhang Min smiled, he had been nervous for so many days, and now he finally put his mind at ease, somehow, there are always some people in Tancheng who remember Pengcheng or Pengcheng.
"You take the people down to rest first, and come back to me later." Zhang Min looked at the burly and powerful man in front of him, and finally remembered his way of coming, it turned out to be Guan Hai who asked Confucius in Beihai for money and food! This benevolent brother was able to spend a few rounds under the sword of the martial saint, and he must have extraordinary skills, and he was happy that he finally had a decent general under his command.
"General, the grass people still have something to report!"
"You say!"
"Miss Zhen Luo asked me to bring Cao Jun's generals Xiahoudun and Yu Ban over, saying that they would be handed over to you to deal with?"
"Xiahoudun?" Zhang Min was a little shocked today, "He was also caught!" Whoever catches it, I will reward him heavily! ā
"Back to the general, it was the grass people who happened to meet him on the way here and were arrested." Guan Hai touched the back of his head and smiled.
"Fu General, from now on you are not a grass citizen, and when Cao Cao is driven away, you will be General Yangwei and Pengcheng Taishou!" Zhang Min gave away the title of the assassin before he was the assassin, and he was not distressed at all, but Chen Deng and Mi Zhu next to him looked stunned, and they wanted to speak and stopped, looked at each other twice, and they were silent again.
"General, this, the grass people can't afford it!" Guan Hai shook his head again and again! Pengcheng is too guarded, Pengcheng County now has a population of 400,000, and the soldiers are full of food, and it is the real center of the whole Xuzhou.
"I said you deserve it, you are Pengcheng Taishou!" Zhang Min seemed to be overjoyed.
"Lord, Cao Cao is still outside the city, let's wait until Cao Cao is driven away!" Chen Deng saw that one of the two insisted, and the other refused, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get off the stage, so he had to interject.
"It's okay, Yuanlong, you take General Guan down to rest." After Zhang Min finished speaking, he looked back at Mi Zhu, "Haha, Zizhong, you still have to go on a trip, talk to Cao Cao this time, if he is willing to withdraw from Xuzhou, we will send him out!" ā
"Yes, my lord!" Mi Zhu did not shirk this time, Tancheng is as stable as Mount Tai, Pengcheng is not a threat, Cao Cao should be self-aware, and he will not get any benefit if he stays any longer.
"Wait, bring him a word, beware of a fire in the backyard!" Zhang Min added with a smile.
"Understood!" Mi Zhu went out of the city again and went straight to Cao Ying.
Cao Jun was nervously watching Tancheng's every move, and when he saw that a person was walking out of the city gate alone, he hurriedly ran over and the two of them held Mi Zhu up. ā¦,
"Go and tell your lord, on behalf of our new Xuzhou assassin Shi Anbei general Zhang Mengxuan came to negotiate with him!"
Cao Jun's big tent, Cao Cao is looking gloomy, and he has been copied back road again and again, and now the army food is exhausted, morale is gone, he can't fight again, he doesn't dare to retreat, he is in a dilemma, and only Guo Fengxiao, a thief, is still so comfortable!
"Lord, there is a person outside who said that he came to see you on behalf of Zhang Thief!" Cao Hong walked in and shouted.
"What does he want to do?" Cao Cao smashed the empty bowl in his hand on the ground, he was eating just now, just a bowl of porridge, but he was shocked by the Guan Hai army from the direction of Pengcheng, and his hands were shaken, and they all splashed on the ground, and he didn't have a bite to eat.
"Lord, he's here to bring us food!" Guo Jia lay on the chair and pursed his lips, Cao Cao didn't starve him when he drank porridge, but he hadn't drunk for many days, and his throat was uncomfortable.
"What do you mean by that?" Cao Cao was stunned.
"To the lord, he is a plague god, but to him, the lord, you are also a plague god!" Guo Jia picked his teeth, just stewed Cao Cao's horse and ate it, and Zhang Thief didn't send someone earlier, it's a pity that such a good horse!
"He wants to send the lord away quickly!" Guo Jia said casually while cleaning between his teeth: "He is a good person, and he is worried that if he continues to fight, even if he leaves Cao Gong in Xuzhou, it will not be worth the loss, so I want to send you away quickly, haha!" ā
"If I don't leave, how can I not avenge my father's murder!" Cao Cao gritted his teeth.
"It's not too late for the eldest husband to take revenge for ten years, and the lord is not in a hurry to meet this messenger in this year or two and see what he has to say." Guo Jia glanced at Cao Cao, "Bring people in first!" ā
"Xuzhou Assassin Shi Anbei General Zhang Mengxuan, Mi Fang has seen Cao Gong!"
"It's a long name!" Cao Cao was uncomfortable to death, although he heard that Zhang Min's thief was the assassin of Xuzhou, but he was not very sure, and now when he heard it, he blocked his chest in one breath! Directly interrupted Mi Zhu, "If you have something to say, just say it!" ā
"Cao Gong, you are now in the middle of our Pengcheng and Tancheng, you can't move, our lord has the virtue of a good life, I can't bear to see the two armies killing, and the people are suffering, so I am willing to give Cao Gong a gift!"
"I, Cao Cao, will never leave unless I sacrifice his head!" Cao Cao refused.
