Chapter 314 Yanjin Retreat (8) 3/3

Cao Peng was still kneeling on the yatang, his legs no longer numerous. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I'm afraid it's a bit of a big fun this time! I wonder if Lao Cao will be angry? Or will you have an opinion about me because of this?

Cao Peng was a little apprehensive in his heart.

He never thought of himself as such a great person.

It's just that that day in White Horse City, looking at the bloody human heads, he had a lot of emotion.

Yin and yang are wrong, reborn in this era, and it is also the most glorious era of the Han people. Tang Dynasty? In Cao Peng's heart, it may be considered great and glorious, but for some reason, there is always some alienation. In his previous life, the nationality marked on his ID card was Han nationality! So it also made him feel closer to Han. He really didn't want the Han people to go through that era of shitty 'ethnic integration' again.

Of course, he also knows his own power and can't change anything.

But he still hopes to do something to make the Han people survive more in this turbulent Three Kingdoms years.

Today, 30,000 sour dates can be saved...... Even if there are only 10,000 people, it is a victory. Maybe I can't change anything, but I can't watch history go on its original trajectory! Suddenly I felt as if I was narrow-minded, as if paranoid......

But so what?

Narrow-mindedness is narrow-mindedness, and paranoia is paranoia!

Cao Peng took a deep breath, straightened his waist again, and puffed up his chest.

"Ah Fu, let's go, it's useless for you to kneel like this."

Cao Zhen looked at Cao Peng helplessly and persuaded softly. Although he also knew that his persuasion was useless, he could not ignore it.

Actually, he didn't quite understand why Cao Peng, who is usually very talkative, was so stubborn today?

But Cao Peng couldn't say why.

Do you tell Cao Zhen that I have traveled from the afterlife, and in a hundred years, there will be no one in ten Han people?

If he really said this, then Cao Zhen might think of him as a madman and directly draw his sword and slash at this small yatang.

It's already time!

It was pitch black outside the yatang, and the lights in the yatang were extinguished.

Cao Zhen sat next to Cao Peng, still persuading in a low voice. There was a sound of footsteps, and Cao Zhen raised his head and looked outside the yatang.

Xun You held a lantern in his hand and slowly approached the yatang.

"Zidan, you go back first."

"Mr. Xun......"

"I have something to say to Ah Fu, you go back and rest, there are still many things to do tomorrow."

Listening to Xun You's tone, Cao Zhen immediately came to his senses.

I'm afraid that Xun Yu is here, and he is entrusted by Cao ***. As for what to say to Cao Peng? Cao Zhen didn't dare to guess! stood up, bowed to Xun You, and then looked at Cao Peng again, and silently withdrew from the yahall. When I walked out of the yatang, I saw Dianman Xu Yi leading people and guarding thirty steps away from the yatang. Cao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then as if he had thought of something, he turned around and looked into the yatang in surprise......

Xun Yu lit the candle, and the light on the yatang was restored.

He picked up a pair of futons and placed them in front of Cao Peng, then sat down, looked Cao Peng up and down, and didn't say a word.

That gaze was very sharp, like a sharp sword, piercing Cao Peng's body.

Cao Peng looked at Xun You in amazement, and he didn't quite understand what Xun You meant.

"Ah Fu, why are you so stubborn?"

Hearing Xun You's title, Cao Peng was stunned again......

In his impression, he and Xun You were not too familiar, and he had even only met three or four times, and the total number of words he had said was no more than ten.

It seems that the title of 'Ah Fu' with an extremely affectionate meaning has never come out of Xun You's mouth.

Maybe it's because he and Cao Peng don't know each other?

So for a long time, Xun You either called Cao Peng's name or called him his official position, and even Cao Peng's words were rarely spoken.

Cao Peng hesitated for a moment and said softly: "The big husband has something to do and something not to do." ”

Xun You smiled!

"Then do you think the city should be retreated?"

"This?"

"Actually, you know the danger of doing this, but you still insist. I don't understand why you're so insistent, I guess there's a reason for you...... I don't want to know what the reason is either. I'm sitting here now, and I'm just asking you one thing, do you have a solution? ”

"This ......"

Cao Peng lowered his head.

Not really!

It's just a moment, but after ***, I didn't regret it.

Xun You said softly: "Ten days later, the lord will lead his troops to withdraw to Putianze, and the desecration of the pavilion is the only way.

After the lord leads his troops through the pontoon bridge, you have an hour to make the people of the sour jujube pass through the pontoon bridge. After an hour, the pontoon bridge had to be cut. Otherwise, the Yuan army will chase after him, and it will inevitably pose a huge threat to the lord...... Have you ever heard clearly? ”

Cao *** agreed?

Cao Peng's eyes widened in surprise.

This is indeed beyond his expectations, a person who would rather bear others than others would agree to such a request?

Lao Cao has never been an emotional person.

"The main guild will send Boren and Ziyu, and each will lead a unit of soldiers and horses to assist you.

Remember, an hour! Xun You said in a deep voice: "After an hour, the pontoon bridge must be cut off, otherwise...... I think you can get the idea. ”

One hour, two hours!

Can you get 30,000 people to pass?

Cao Peng didn't know either.

Still, he was overjoyed, "I understand. ”

As he spoke, he was about to stand up. But both legs were about to lose sensation, and the moment he got up, his body stumbled and he almost fell to the ground. Xun You stretched out his hand to hold him, looked at Cao Peng's happy face, sighed, smiled and shook his head gently.

"Go ahead, Boren and Ziyu will take people to wait outside."

Cao Peng *** legs, and after regaining some consciousness, he stood up.

"Mr. Xun, thank you very much!"

"Don't thank me, this lord decides...... The lord is not the kind of unrighteous person, he knows better than you the truth of 'the people are important'. ”

Xun You smiled and walked out of the yatang with Cao Peng.

Cao Peng bowed to him again, and then ran quickly towards the gate of the mansion.

Standing on the doorstep of the yatang, Xun You shook his head......

Ming Gong's decision this time seems to be a bit of a child's play!

——————————————————————————————

Cao Peng was at the gate of Sour Zao City and met the two brothers, Xiahou Shang and Xia Houen.

The two of them each brought 500 soldiers and were waiting for Cao Peng.

"Youxue, you're really causing trouble for yourself."

When Xia Houen saw Cao Peng's first words, he blamed. What about Xiahou Shang? just looked at Cao Peng quietly and didn't say a word.

"Let's go, let's go back to the Mansion."

Cao Peng didn't argue, he smiled, and led Feiwei out of the city gate.

"This guy is clearly not comfortable finding himself."

Xia Houen glanced at Xia Hou Shang with a wry smile and muttered in a low voice.

Xiahou Shang hesitated, "Ah Fu is a kind person...... At least he's a hundred times stronger than those who can only say and can't do. ”

"Ha, you two, it's really ......"

Xia Houen didn't say anything more, only laughed twice, and then urged the horse to follow Cao Peng.

After returning to the Duting Pavilion, Cao Peng first settled Xiahou Shang and Xiahou En, and then summoned Kan Ze and others to the military tent.

After telling the story as it was, Kan Ze couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

After a long while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Childe, aren't you causing trouble for yourself?" ”

"I know...... But I felt like there were some things I had to do. ”

Kan Ze said: "But the problem is that this matter is no longer within the scope of what you can afford. 30,000 people, want to pass the pontoon bridge, without two hours, it is absolutely impossible. If you cut off the pontoon bridge by then, at least a third of the people will be left here, not ......"

"At least two-thirds of them can be saved.

Even if I can only save a third, I'm going to try. It's better than watching Yuan Shao slaughter the city, and tens of thousands of innocent people died for it and were indifferent. ”

"But ......"

"Derun, I came to you to ask you to help me with ideas."

Kan Ze scratched his head, and after a long silence, he said: "I can't think of big ideas, but there are a few small ideas."

The water in the Duting section of the river is not turbulent, we have ten days, and there is no shortage of trees in the vicinity. If everybody moves, we can build two or three small pontoon bridges in 10 days. In this way, when Cao Gong retreated, he could speed up and buy us more time. It's just that we need a lot of baggage, otherwise we may not be able to build the pontoon bridge. ”

Build a small pontoon?

Cao Peng's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Why didn't I think about it?

Xiahouen and Xiahoushang still have a thousand soldiers and horses in their hands, and they can all participate in it when the time comes, and maybe they can build more pontoon bridges.

"Good way, I will ask the lord for the baggage problem."

"It's one thing to build a pontoon bridge, but we also have more rafts...... Does Childe remember Tamura? Tacun is backed by Quyuju and can reach Yangwu directly. It is not difficult to build a raft, and when the time comes, we can divide a part of the personnel and cross the river by raft from Quyuju to Yangwu. I don't know how much time it will buy us by doing both at the same time, but it must be useful. ”

Cao Peng nodded again and again, indicating that Kan Ze's two ideas were good.

Tian Yu was a little worried, and said softly: "What I am most afraid of is that when the people cross the river, Yuan Jun will chase after them, and there will inevitably be chaos. ”

Cao Peng smiled and said: "What are you afraid of, the lord has a perfect strategy, and it is expected that those Yuan Jun will not be able to get any benefits." ”

Tian Yu said: "Since the lord has made arrangements, then I can rest assured."

Let's do what we say, it's best to notify the two Xiahou generals of the action immediately...... By the way, Qu Yuju also needs someone to stay behind. ”

Cao Peng thought for a while, "When Qu meets the gathering, it will be taken care of by Xingba, how about it?" ”

Gan Ning got up and arched his hand: "The last general will live up to the trust of the son." ”

"You see, our three stinkers are worth one ...... Guo Fengxiao.

Next, let's take action. I will order Hao Zhao to lead Hei Wei to replace Han De and temporarily garrison Xiaotan. ”

The crowd shouted in unison.

In this way, under Cao Peng's arrangement, the Duting Pavilion began to act that night.

Gan Ning led 200 Feiyu, and early the next morning, he joined up with Han De's department who came from Xiaotan, and rushed to Quyuju to build a raft.

After being sacked by Shu Qiang, Tacun almost existed in name only.

Many villagers had fled Ta Village, and the surviving old and weak women and children were sent to the other side of the river by Gan Ning on the same day. As a result, Ta Village has many belongings left behind, as well as three ferries. Under the command of Gan Ning, Han De led people to settle in Tacun and began to build a raft.

Cao Peng ordered Kan Ze and Tian Yu to write a detailed plan overnight and send it to the sour jujube early the next morning.

After reading the retreat plan, Cao *** did not express any objections, but just asked Dong Zhao to send the baggage to the Duting Pavilion as much as possible.

Ten days flew by.

In these ten days, Cao *** ordered several feints to make a counterattack.

However, it did not cause too much trouble to Yuan Shao. The Yuan army that crossed the river from Liyang has increased to 130,000, and Yuan Shao's confidence has also skyrocketed.

"Tomorrow, a certain general will personally supervise the soldiers and horses, do not take sour dates, and swear not to collect the troops."

In the Yanjin camp, Yuan Shao swore an oath.

He looked at the generals in the big tent with a smug smile on his face.

However, when his gaze swept over Frustration, the smile suddenly faded. I saw that his face was melancholy, and he sat on the side thoughtfully.

"Then from, why don't you speak?"

He woke up in frustration, and hurriedly got up and said, "Lord, I was just thinking about one thing, so I was a little distracted just now. ”

"What do you think?"

"In the past few days, Cao *** has been attacking continuously, which makes me feel strange.

He knew that the lord's army was superior, so he should strengthen the guard and lead soldiers and horses from all over the country. But instead of doing so, he made a counterattack, which seemed to be not Cao Mengde's doing. Moreover, since the independent duke was stationed in Yanjin, the strength of Cao's army does not seem to have increased...... What did he mean by doing this? I suddenly thought of a possibility just now, could it be that Cao ***, who wants to withdraw from the army? ”

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and immediately showed a contemplative look.

"It makes sense from what you said."

"Moreover, according to Tanma news, sour dates seem to be very lively recently, which also makes me feel a little abnormal."

Yuan Shao thought for a while, "Since that's the case, then I'll send someone to investigate immediately." ”

This seems to be the best way to go.

Before he figured out Cao ***'s true intentions, even if he was frustrated, he didn't dare to act rashly.

Cao *** is not Gongsun Zhan, nor is he Yuan Shao's previous opponents. This is a real traitor, and you have to be careful.

However, not long after the scouts were dispatched, a small colonel came to report it.

"Lord, just got the news, the sour jujube side has begun to open the city gate since the afternoon, and Tanma found that there are many people, leaving the sour jujube, and are retreating in the direction of the desecrated pavilion."

"What?"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Frustrated, he slapped his thigh, "Lord, Cao *** This is trying to withdraw the troops." ”

"What then?"

"Cao *** retreated, he must have seen the idea of the lord's intention to attack, so he led his troops to evacuate.

In his opinion, the lord should quickly raise his troops and horses and pursue Cao ***...... Hehe, Cao Mengde wants to show the wind of benevolence and righteousness to the people of the world this time, but he is really seeking a dead end. He evacuated with the people of sour jujube, and his speed must not be too fast. The lord can order the cavalry to attack first and drag Cao ***'s footsteps. ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately nodded, "If not, I almost fell for a trick." ”

He immediately summoned Zhang He and ordered Zhang He to lead the halberd warriors to pursue Cao ***.

The halberd warrior is also an elite team of men and horses under Yuan Shao.

Since Koji Yoshi's first camp was wiped out by him, the Euphorbia has faintly gained momentum to replace him. The main general of the Euphorbia is Zhang He and Zhang Junyi, one of the four court pillars in Hebei. Zhang He took the order and left, thought about it in frustration, and hurriedly chased out the big tent and shouted Zhang He to stop.

It's just that he didn't notice that when Yuan Shao praised him, a touch of anger flashed in Guo Tu's eyes on the side......
