Chapter 55: The Fierce General Returns to Cao
"Newspaper... Lord Cao, a scout has just intercepted a secret letter from Tongguan, and we killed him by mistake when we fought each other, and the secret letter was not signed, and I don't know where it was sent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
At this time, the two brothers Xiahoudun had already ridden their horses back, and Dian Wei and Wang Yanzhang abandoned their horses and fought together.
"Go down."
Cao Cao ordered casually, knowing that the two tigers were competing and could not tell the winner in a short time, so he opened the secret letter casually.
I was attracted by the content at a glance, and I couldn't help but read it.
It turned out that this letter was written by Wang Yanzhang's deputy general Hua Ying to Cao Cao, the letter said that Guo Yan listened to the slander, appointed the villain as the general, Fan Chou was insidious and cunning, and drove General Wang to death, General Wang was just and straightforward, knowing that there was death and no life and still had to be ordered to go, as the general's adjutant general, he had long been unaccustomed to this villain's behavior, and this move wanted to unite with Cao Cao, and three days later used a torch as a signal to secretly open the city gate, enlarge the army into the city, occupy Tongguan, and kill Fan Chou.
Cao Cao took a deep breath, even if he was so calm, he couldn't help but be happy, Tongguan, which had been troubled for four or five months, was about to be at his fingertips, and there was no need to distinguish the truth of this letter at all, as long as the city gate was opened at that time and the army was killed, even if it was fake, it was already a boat, and it was difficult to change.
Cao Cao handed the letter to Xun Yu, but Xun Yu did not show a trace of expression until he finished reading it, as if time had not changed its color.
As early as when Xun Yu designed to provoke the relationship between Wang Yanzhang and Fan Chou, even if he had calculated some things, Wang Yanzhang was upright, and it was impossible to make him easily change the camp, so he could only provoke the relationship and let Fan Chou secretly anger him, the generals had their own arrogance, and Wang Yanzhang, who was angry, rose up and killed him, so that the chaos in Tongguan would definitely reveal flaws, so that the army in the camp would have a chance to take advantage of it.
But I didn't expect Wang Yanzhang to be loyal and thick, and he didn't lose his mind under anger, but chose to swallow his anger and be driven by the villain.
Cao Cao's soldiers thought that the plan had failed, but they didn't expect such a big turnaround.
Cao Cao, who was in a good mood, held the horsewhip in his hand, shook and nodded a little in the direction of Tongguan, and the victory was in his hands.
I don't know how long it took, Xun Yu suddenly sighed: "The warriors of the world, but these three people." ”
It's no wonder that Xun Yu has a narrow vision, he lives in Wancheng and serves the Son of Heaven, it can't be said that his vision is not high, but although Lu Bu is brave, his character is indeed not very good, and he is as fierce as Sun Jian, but he has become a prince, and naturally he can't be compared.
Cao Cao was noncommittal, and said to a pawn: "It can't be delayed any longer, so I order Pei Xingyan to join the battle group and be sure to capture Wang Yanzhang alive." ”
The pawn had to order him to pass the word, and after a short time, Pei Xingyan also joined the battle group.
"Pei Xingyan, what do you mean by this."
Dian Wei's double halberd opened the Yunxia iron spear and shouted at Pei Xingyan on the side, although he fell into the disadvantage, he was not without the strength to fight back, but Pei Xingyan suddenly joined, making their entire Cao army fall behind.
"The lord doesn't want to make waves again, and the evil will quickly take down Wang Yanzhang with me."
Although Pei Xingyan also felt that his face was gloomy, he could not disobey his orders, and told the truth, and did not avoid Wang Yanzhang, but made Wang Yanzhang feel that he was open-minded.
Wang Yanzhang laughed: "It's really a pleasure to have this battle." ”
The three of them killed together, although Cao Cao had a word first, and he fought quickly, but Pei Xingyan chose to abandon his horse and fight on foot out of respect for him, even if Wang Yanzhang was brave, he was also a little busy at the moment, and he only had the power to parry after a while.
Although Dian Wei was dissatisfied, he didn't blame Pei Xingyan anymore, at this time he deliberately tilted to the left and sold a flaw, Wang Yanzhang knew that this opportunity was rare, so he naturally deceived himself and fell into his trap.
Dian Wei's shoulders were short, and he was able to avoid the attack of the iron spear, rolled on the spot, and rushed directly into his arms, and the double halberd in his hand was about to make meritorious service, but was stopped by a shout.
"Evil comes, stop."
Dian Wei heard the sound and knew people, so he had to put away the action of the stab and replace it with an impact, Wang Yanzhang staggered back two steps, but Pei Xingyan The Yellow River Broken Jade Spear just swept over, slapped it on the back, and flew out directly.
Cao Cao rolled up his sleeves and ran over at this time.
"Okay, stop it." Saying that, he ran directly in front of Wang Yanzhang, Pei Xingyan and the others were shocked, and hurriedly protected Cao Cao from left and right, preventing Wang Yanzhang from making unfavorable moves.
Cao Cao glanced at the two of them reproachfully: "Xianming is an honest and honest person, how can he do villain behavior and assassinate me." As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and helped Wang Yanzhang up.
"Xianming, I Cao Cao has few people to admire in this life, you are one of them, in the past, I thought that I had countless generals, but they were not virtuous generals, that day was goodbye, it can be said that I couldn't sleep all night, I really wanted to annoy me."
Wang Yanzhang was moved by Corporal Lixian of Cao Cao, but after all, the two camps were different, and he took a step back and said: "Thanks to Cao Shilang, I am a general of the defeated army, and if I want to kill him, I must listen to him." ”
Cao Cao's sleeve robe was rolled up, and Shi Shiran said: "The courage of the virtuous is to be poured by the world, and he can be the commander of an army, but the night is rampant, making the pearl dusty, and today it is falling apart, and the princes from all walks of life divide the land and rule, and do not respect the orders of the Son of Heaven. ”
Wang Yanzhang didn't hate Fan Chou is fake, and he was also disappointed in Guo Yan's distrust, at this time, Cao Cao knew that he was reasonable, and he was comforted by righteousness, which had already made him tempted, but after all, he was once Guo Yan's thief general, and he was also worried that Cao Cao would be excluded by his subordinates.
"Wang was born humble, fortunately General Guo took a fancy to him and was promoted to the general of an army, this body is already a thief, and it is difficult to wash away the sinful body, and I ask Cao Shilang to give me a death."
Cao Cao knew that he had already moved, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "In the past, after King Li of the state exterminated the Black Mountain Army, he accepted Qu Shuai Zhang Yan and Li Tianyan as staff members, and served under the tent. ”
Wang Yanzhang is very entangled in his heart, often this kind of fierce generals are very concerned about reputation, and he doesn't know what the world thinks of him if he changes his master rashly.
Like a person like Cao Cao, Wang Yanzhang can guess his mind with a move of his eyes: "Virtuous people don't have to worry about the opinions of the people in the world, kill the enemy and kill the generals, and the world is peaceful, as long as the heart remains the same, the behavior of the people, after a long time, will only be distinguished." ”
Wang Yanzhang gritted his teeth, made a decision, quickly knelt on one knee on the ground, hugged his fists and said, "Sinner Wang Yanzhang, meet the lord." ”
Cao Cao was overjoyed, and hurriedly helped him up with both hands: "Now my Cao Cao has the help of Wang Xianming, which is really a great blessing." ”
After speaking, Cao Cao returned hand in hand with him.
"Congratulations to the lord, a fierce general has been added." This is Xun You, heartfelt congratulations.
Xiahou Yuan was very optimistic about the gains and losses, and the two defeats at the hands of Wang Yanzhang made him even more admired, and at this time, he and Cao Ren and others said hello again and again, Cao Cao's eyebrows were full of joy, lingering.
Back in the big tent, Cao Cao briefly said Huaying's secret letter, and waited for the soldiers under his command to express their opinions.
Wang Yanzhang didn't expect that he had to enter the account to discuss major matters just after serving Cao Cao, and he was moved in his heart, but he was slightly surprised by the move of his former deputy general Hua Ying, and at this moment he had to stand quietly in the corner in order to avoid suspicion, and did not make suggestions.
"Lord, I think we can hide in the dark in three days, as long as the gate of Tongguan is wide open, we will send another soldier to quickly control the city gate, and Fan Chou will not be able to make much waves at that time."
The soldiers hurriedly echoed Xun You, this was a great opportunity for them, and perhaps the only hope to recover Tongguan before December.
Cao Cao also had this idea, and at this time he looked at Wang Yanzhang in the corner and said, "Xianming used to be stationed in Tongguan, but what is your opinion?" ”
Wang Yanzhang knew that he couldn't dodge, and hugged his fists and said: "Hua Ying was my deputy general, straightforward, and he showed his dissatisfaction with Fan Chou to me before, and I think this move will not be fake, but Tongguan is a dangerous point, and there is an urn city as a defensive attack. ”
Cao Cao nodded, as Wang Yanzhang said, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and we must work step by step in order to be invincible: "I don't know if I am virtuous and have high views." ”
