Chapter 279: Temporary Gambling
Guessing and guessing, Xun You still set his eyes on Zhang Xiang, and only Zhang Xiang dared to make such a ruthless move, in fact, Xun You didn't want to guess that it was Zhang Xiang, Xun You knew the relationship between Zhang Xiang and Cao Cao.
It is clearer that if Zhang Xiang makes a move, then it will not be so simple next, this matter can no longer be hidden, although Cao Ang has suffered a lot of mouths these days, but his body is unscathed, which is already the best proof.
Xun You sent a messenger with three fast horses to quickly tell Cao Cao what happened in Xuchang, but at this time Cao Cao was faced with an important choice, Yuan Shu's army was divided into two factions because of Jia Xu's relationship.
One faction is the Jingzhou faction, and the other faction is the Yangzhou faction, but at this time, Jia Xu, the representative of the Jingzhou faction, asked Cao Cao to find Cao Cao and proposed to cooperate to take down Yuan Shu, which was impossible in Cao Cao's opinion.
But it happened, Cao Cao has been paying attention to the situation of Yuan Shu's army, although the number is large but the fighting spirit is insufficient, Cao Cao did not pay attention to it, and suddenly Jia Xu surrendered, which aroused Cao Cao's suspicion.
Cao Cao himself is a suspicious person, and he doesn't even dare to fully believe the people around him, let alone a person who has never dealt with him, Cao Cao knows very little about Jia Xu.
I only know that he was originally Dong Zhuo's person, and later followed Li Dao, and somehow came to Yuan Shu's side, such a person is a wall grass, this Cao Cao does not doubt it, but the wall grass has a wall grass way of doing things.
It will definitely not fall to the other side under the situation of unclear situation, at present, it seems that Yuan Shu's side is not at a disadvantage, but the battlefield has also fallen into a short-term stalemate, unless it is impossible to break the situation by storm.
If there is only Cao Cao's side, Cao Cao will not hesitate, but there is also a Liu Bei next to him, and Cao Cao will never take Liu Bei lightly, I don't know when Liu Bei will come out to pick up the leak.
This is their old Liu family's housekeeping skills, of course Cao Cao has to guard against a little, at this time there was such a turn for the better of Jia Xu, Cao Cao didn't want to let go easily, Cao Cao always had an ominous feeling recently.
I always felt that something was going to happen to Xuchang City, so Cao Cao wanted to solve the war in Yangzhou as soon as possible, and Cao Cao felt that he should take a risk, after all, it didn't seem to be a big loss to him if he tried it.
As long as you are careful, even Cao Cao is sure that he will retreat, so Cao Cao replied to Jia Xu, and after Jia Xu received the letter, he tried to postpone the battle of the Jingzhou soldiers.
In the past, it was the Jingzhou soldiers who were the pioneers and there were many casualties, but this time someone finally stood up to speak for them, of course, the Jingzhou soldiers had to work together to fight for it, and in the end, Ji Ling had no choice but to let the Yangzhou soldiers fight first.
Cao Cao also communicated with Liu Bei beforehand, asking Liu Bei to lead the Yuzhou army to attack the right flank of Yuan Shu's army, just to prevent any accidents, Yuan Shu's army rushed to Cao's camp.
At this time, a fire broke out in the camp of Yuan Shu's army, and Ji Ling immediately ordered to retreat when he saw this situation, but only the soldiers of Jingzhou could be in the rear, and of course the soldiers of Jingzhou had to save their lives.
So it is inevitable that there will be some stampedes or fights, and I don't know who said it at this time, so let's take refuge in Cao Sikong! Kill these Yangzhou people first, and make a gift to the body.
This sentence pushed the contradiction between the two sides to the highest point, and the Yangzhou soldiers were already a little unruly, but the Jingzhou soldiers were allowed to say so, so Yuan Shu's army was in chaos first.
Cao Cao will not let go of this opportunity, the whole army pressed Liu Bei's army and attacked from the flank, the opportunity to beat the water dogs is not available at any time, Liu Bei's foundation is thinner, and he will naturally not let go of the opportunity to collect the spoils.
Yuan Shu's army had to change from attacking to defending the city, and a large number of Jingzhou soldiers took refuge under Cao Cao's command, and even Jia Xu entered Cao Cao's camp.
Cao Cao's love for talents is simply to the point of pathology, so he is also very tolerant of Jia Xu, and did not pursue his crime of resistance, and was awarded a high position, and became an important adviser by Cao Cao's side.
Employing people without suspicion is not necessary, this is Cao Cao's attitude of cherishing talents, Yuan Shu was also in a disadvantaged position because of Jia Xu's betrayal, Cao Cao Yangzhou was proud, but something big happened in Xuchang.
For the safety of Liu Xie, Xun You did not listen to the doctor's advice to move Liu Xie, in Xun You's opinion, there is no place safer than Xuchang Palace, and it is always protected by heavy troops.
It is also difficult to keep the risk of being a hundred secrets, in order to make it once and for all, Xun Yu decided to take a risk to send Liu Xie back to the palace, but the position they are in is in the city after all, even if they are accompanied by heavy soldiers.
It can't give full play to the ability of heavy troops, but it is a little constrained, after all, on the street, it is impossible to let the army unfold, so there are not too many soldiers around Liu Xie on the street.
Liu Xie went to the street of Miyagi, and happened to pass by a restaurant, which was also the only chance for Zhou Yang and others to do it, this restaurant is also very particular, called Xuan Ya Ge does not sound like the name of the restaurant.
On the contrary, it looks like a bookstore, in fact, it is indeed a restaurant, but the people who go in to eat are all scholars, and there is a statue of Confucius on the second floor of the restaurant, so that the scholars can make offerings.
The dishes are generally light, and the consumption is not high, so many poor children also gather here, in fact, Xuan Ya Pavilion was secretly opened by Cao Cao, just to attract some people of insight.
Of course, Xuan Ya Ge will not stop the merchants and warriors, but the merchants and martial artists generally do not enter the Xuan Ya Pavilion, which seems to have become an unwritten rule, Zhou Yang pretended to be a guard and followed a few spies who looked like literati into the Xuan Ya Pavilion.
There are also Zhou Yang's people in the corner near Xuan Pavilion, this time Zhou Yang and the others are ready to die, Zhou Yang has already thought about it, even if Wang Yue is coming out to obstruct this time, he will kill Liu Xie.
Unless he died, he would not let go of this opportunity, Liu Xie's carriage had already arrived downstairs, and Zhou Yang suddenly slammed the statue of Confucius from the upper floor to the carriage, and the carriage was smashed on the spot.
Zhou Yang could be sure that Liu Xie was in the carriage, but he was not sure whether Liu Xie was dead, so in order to be sure, Zhou Yang still gave the order to assassinate Liu Xie, and the spies who looked like scribes even jumped from the building.
In order to investigate Liu Xie's situation, in fact, such a move is very unwise, most of Cao's soldiers are on weapons, and jumping from above is no different from looking for death, but the death is very miserable.
Zhou Yang would not make such a mistake, Zhou Yang calmly went downstairs, as if the assassination had nothing to do with him, the scribes in Xuan Ya Pavilion left through the back door, and they didn't want to stay for a long time in the land of right and wrong.
So no one noticed that Zhou Yang, who was doing it, walked downstairs, and the Cao soldiers on the street didn't care even if they saw Zhou Yang, after all, there were many people who were in a panic, and the people Zhou Yang had prepared in advance all took action.
frantically pounced on the broken carriage, but at this time, Zhou Yang found a detail, that is, there was no bleeding in the carriage, so there were only two possibilities, or Liu Xie was not injured.
There is also a possibility that Liu Xie was not in the carriage at all, looking at the resistance of Cao Jun near the carriage, Zhou Yang believed in the second possibility even more, so Zhou Yang did not continue to shoot, but calmly observed the situation nearby.
For this reason, Zhou Yang returned to the restaurant, after all, only from a high place can he overlook the overall situation, and at this moment, Zhou Yang found several suspicious people in a corner, one of whom was still being carried by someone.
Zhou Yang could only gamble, Zhou Yang saw the situation downstairs very clearly, even if there were no other people in his own way, he could get close to the carriage, if Liu Xie was really on the carriage, it would be difficult to escape death.
So Zhou Yang went to track down those suspicious people and found that the direction they were walking was exactly the direction of Miyagi, Zhou Yang felt that the one on his back was the real Liu Xie, so Zhou Yang really made a move.
In fact, Zhou Yang guessed correctly, the one on his back was indeed Liu Xie, Liu Xie was seriously injured and was not allowed to move, if he had to move, it was best to let people carry it, so that it would not look bumpy.
That's why there is the current scene, the person responsible for protecting Liu Xie is Cao Xiu, Cao Xiu is a cavalry general born in the tiger and leopard cavalry, this time he was also going to go with the army, but he was detained by Cao Ang.
Cao Ang and Cao Xiu are people of the same generation, and the relationship is relatively good, so Cao Ang asked Cao Cao to leave Cao Xiu behind, and Cao Cao thought about it and left Cao Xiu, after all, Cao Ang also needs a few credible people around him.
In terms of force, Cao Xiu and Zhou Yang are half a catty, but Cao Xiu is good at cavalry combat, while Zhou Yang is good at foot combat, and the ruler is short and long, maybe this is the reason.
Of course, Zhou Yang has the advantage on the land, before Cao Zhang grew up, Cao Xiu was the strongest person in his generation, and he naturally had his own pride in his heart, and Cao Xiu was not a reckless man without brains.
He could see at a glance that Zhou Yang was not simple, "Your Excellency's ability is still good to take a detour, this trip to the troubled waters is not so easy, Your Excellency had better think twice, so as not to regret it in the future, and it will be too late to regret it at that time." ”
Zhou Yang didn't want to waste time, Sergeant Cao was nearby, if he found the movement here, it would be even more difficult for Zhou Yang to do it, and Cao Xiu's words made Zhou Yang feel that he had made the right bet.
Zhou Yang made a move, in order to ensure the speed of the solution, so he ignored the knife that Cao Xiu slashed at him, and the sword went straight into Cao Xiu's throat, Cao Xiu didn't want to exchange his life with Zhou Yang.
So I had to stop first, Zhou Yang took the opportunity to stab another sword, stabbing at the soldier who was carrying Liu Xie, Zhou Yang was very fast This soldier didn't expect Cao Xiu to retreat, so he didn't react in time, and was stabbed by Zhou Yang.
When the soldier fell, the person on his back also fell to the ground, just showing his face, Zhou Yang recognized Liu Xie on the ground at a glance, Liu Xie's portrait Zhou Yang has seen it thousands of times during this time, and he will never be mistaken. (To be continued.) )
