Wancheng opened the city gate at this time, and a group of richly dressed people stood at the gate of the city, this scene Cao Pi seemed familiar. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoJust yesterday, Xi'e County was also like this, obviously, Zhang Xiu abandoned the city and fled.

But Le Jin still did not take it lightly, he first sent a tun chief with fifty soldiers under his command into the city to investigate, after a while, the tun chief sent someone to report: "Wancheng southeast and northwest city gates are fully opened, and the Sikong army has entered the city." Le Jin then led the sergeant to the city gate.

In front of the city gate, one of the richly dressed people stepped out, saluted Le and said, "Wancheng Han, welcome the general." ”

Han ........ Nanyang's surname! Le Jin said as he dismounted and returned the salute. He continued: "I have heard for a long time that the Nanyang Han clan has a high and virtuous name, I don't know if it is from the Han clan of the respected driver? ”

"General Hui, this person is in the lower clan, and now he is on an errand in Xiangyang."

Le Jin and the person surnamed Han said a few more words, and Cao Pi listened again, and learned that this person's name was Han Qing, and he was a member of the Han clan of Wancheng Wang.

However, Cao Pi didn't care about this, he knew the name Han Xi better, not because of how famous he was, but because his fate was tied to another famous person, that person was Sun Ce. Sun Ce is a key figure for many people who study the Three Kingdoms, and Cao Pi's history doctoral supervisor is no exception, according to the doctoral director: After Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, he once sent troops to attack Jiangxia Taishou Huangzu under Liu Biao. Liu Biao sent Liu Hu and Han Xi to lead troops to reinforce Huang Zu, but although Sun Ce did not defeat Jiangxia, he killed Han Xi, and Liu Hu was nowhere to be found, so he should have died in the chaos.

Now this person said that Han Xi was still on an errand in Xiangyang, and he should not be dead, according to the historical track, Sun Ce died in 200 AD, in other words, Han Xi only had two years to live. What makes Cao Pi more strange is why Lejin knew Han Xi's name.

After entering the city, Cao Pi privately inquired about Le Jin and learned that the name of Han Xi was just the name known to Le Jin when he was in Xudu, and the intelligence of Jingzhou spies was just Le Jin's blind break. Early in the morning, Le Jin knew that Han Xi was Liu Biao's subordinate minister and a native of Nanyang. remembered that this person's surname was Han, and he was from the Nanyang Wang family, so he asked.

Cao Pi was secretly surprised when he heard Le Jin say this, Cao Cao's intelligence network had actually been spread to Jingzhou, it seemed that he would have to be more careful when he met Liu Ye in the future, now because he was still young, so he was not monitored, and when he was a few years older, maybe he would have spies inform Cao Cao of his every move.

Zhang Xiu gave up Wancheng, and Cao Jun naturally garrisoned in Wancheng, Wancheng is the seat of Nanyang County, and there are military camps surrounded by rammed earth outside the city, and the camps are real houses. It's much more comfortable than pitching a tent and sleeping in the wild. It's just that the rammed earth barracks are a little bad, that is, they are not as wide as the barracks they set up, and the houses in the barracks are fixed, which is not as flexible as the barracks that can be arranged with some defensive formations according to local conditions.

The reason why Cao Cao suffered a defeat last time was because Zhang Xiu surrendered first and gave up the barracks outside the city for Cao's army to station, and then suddenly attacked at night and sealed the door of the rammed earth barracks. came to catch turtles in an urn, which caused Cao Jun to suffer heavy losses, and also made Cao Cao break his son and nephew, which shows that although the rammed earth barracks can garrison the army, block the wind. However, it does not apply in wartime.

This time, Cao Cao learned well, let some of the sergeants be stationed in the rammed earth barracks, and some of them were camped on the periphery, using the camp plate to build the rammed earth barracks, and then send an army to be stationed in Wancheng, forming a corner, even if someone comes to sneak attack, they can't get a bargain.

Lejin's army and Cao Cao's tiger guards were stationed in Wancheng, Zhang Xiu's mansion has now been occupied by Cao Cao, and Cao Pi naturally lived in it, but Cao Pi still didn't see Cao Ren's army and tiger and leopard cavalry.

Not long after lunch, Cao Pi was in a relatively side room behind the main hall, which should be where Zhang Xiu's concubine lived, with fancy decoration and a faint fragrance, Cao Cao lived in the main room behind the main hall, and the other side room was where Xu Chu lived. Looking out through the window lattice, I found that there were many sergeants of the Tiger Guard Battalion wearing two-gear armor patrolling the courtyard, thinking that the history of being attacked in the middle of the night would not be repeated in Wancheng. Walking to the low couch and sitting down, Cao Pi began to exercise his sergeant thinking again.

"Zhang Xiu left Wancheng, there are only two ways to go, go south to Xiangyang, which borders Nanyang County, to join Liu Biao, or to defend another strong city in Nanyang, and at the same time ask Liu Biao to send troops from Xiangyang, so that we can suffer from the enemy.... Now my dad should be sending troops to check the granary of Wancheng, but it seems that this should be useless, Zhang Xiu will naturally take the grain away since he abandoned the city. ”

After all, Cao Pi's brain is still the brain of the doctoral supervisor, and after following Cao Renle into the two to discuss the way, he has been able to analyze the battle situation, and Zhang Xiu only has two paths in front of him to analyze, and the key is that he will choose that path.

"Buckle ~ Buckle ~ Buckle ~" There was a knock on the door, and a clear and slow voice sounded outside the door: "Childe.... The lower official military division sacrificed wine, Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao, and asked to see. ”

Guo Jia? What did he come to do? Cao Pi was stunned when he heard the sound outside the door, but he quickly got up from the low couch to open the door.

When the door opened, there were three people standing in front of him, the first one of whom did not have a crown on his head, but was wrapped in a scarf, wearing a deep white coat and a snow-white robe, and his face was very pale, a bit like a sick person. Long eyebrows into the sideburns, eyes like stars, the bridge of the nose is not high, but the proportions are just right, the lips are relatively thin, and in general it is still handsome. The height is similar to Liu Ye, and the age is similar to Liu Ye, in his twenties, but he is thinner than Liu Ye.

Behind this man stood two people, dressed in sackcloth, with a cloak on the outside, and a hat on their heads, both of them holding things in their hands, one holding two jade bowls containing black and white chess pieces, and the other holding a wooden chessboard.

Cao Pi saw that the two had already guessed Guo Jia's intention, and they must be playing against themselves. It's just that the clothes of these two people make Cao Pi very strange, the clothes and hats are the tools used by contemporary people to shade the sun and protect from the rain, the clothes are made of non-perishable grass, and the hats are mostly woven with bamboo strips. As the saying goes, "self-shelter is covered in green hats, and green clothes are everywhere." ”

It's just that it's spring, the sun isn't big, and it's not raining today, so this outfit is really unreasonable. Especially these two people also made Cao Pi feel a little cold, not because the two of them were expressionless, nor because of their outfits, but just out of pure sensory reaction, a bit like seeing a snake, Cao Pi didn't know why.

"I have heard for a long time that Gongzi is a profound way of playing chess, I have always been itchy, but I am busy with official business in Xudu, and I have not had the opportunity to play against Gongzi, although I am outside the march today, but it is leisure time, please Gongzi appreciate his face and play a game." Guo Jiazuo, who was wearing a scarf on his head, had a pale face and was quite handsome, and said.
