Chapter 36: Fighting wits and courage
"How?"
Seeing Xia Houlan hurriedly pushing the door in, Zhao Yun, who was still pondering something just now, immediately came back to his senses and opened his mouth to ask.
Xia Houlan's face was full of joy, and said with a smile: "I don't know if I was tortured to extract a confession or how, anyway, the news from the army is that Xiaozuo has been arrested, teach everyone to rest assured." ”
Zhao Yun was not as optimistic as him, but frowned tightly and began to think deeply about what was implied in this.
He would never believe that the enemy's mind was so simple, even if it was really tortured to extract confessions that those people couldn't bear it and had to confess against their will, but Yuan Shao, did they believe it so arbitrarily?
Zhao Yun felt that it was probably not so simple, he liked to think when he encountered things, and he liked to empathize, he was thinking about what would happen if he encountered this situation, obviously even if those people admit it, but there must be considerable evidence to prove it, and he will be completely convinced of the authenticity of a qiē.
While it may be simple to say what the enemy thinks, and perhaps the news is true, and they have indeed been convinced and given up on continuing the censorship, it is not a bad thing to think at worst.
Seeing him like this, Xiahou Lan couldn't help but say, "What else is Zilong worried about, does he think that this matter is fraudulent?" ”
Zhao Yun smiled bitterly: "Could it be that Zi Yu thinks that this must be true, maybe they are suspicious of the formation, making us think that they have given up, but in fact, they have made a trap and want to lead us to expose ourselves?" ”
Xiahou Lan suddenly laughed, clapped her hands and said, "Lan is also worried that Zilong will be a little flustered when he takes on such a heavy responsibility for the first time. And ignoring that, it seems that you are still very calm now. ”
Zhao Yun was stunned, and when he looked at Xiahou Lan again, he saw that his face changed from a smile to a little solemn, and said softly: "But I'm worried that there are not a few people who have the same idea as I just now......"
Although Xia Houlan has not achieved anything so far, he is sober-minded, and he is also a good assistant by Zhao Yun's side, as soon as his words came out, Zhao Yun understood what he meant, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Although Lu Bu sent Zhao Yun as the vanguard. and brought these nearly two thousand light horsemen. And with Xiahou Lan's help, these people were obedient to Zhao Yun at first, but this can only be said that they are still obeying Lu Bu's orders,
If it's just those shadows in Yecheng. Because they are completely under Lu Bu's orders. There are hardly any other years left in my head except to complete the task. Therefore, although they are just routine for Zhao Yun, as long as Zhao Yun needs anything, as the vanguard sent by Lu Bu. They will all do everything they can to be satisfied with him.
In addition, those ordinary cavalry officers and soldiers are similar, and they will not have any prejudices against Zhao Yun, but there are four or five military marquis among them, and these people are not all obedient to Zhao Yun, after all, he is young and has a new face, and he has no qualifications to convince people for the time being. At present, Zhao Yun, who has not shown too many strengths and means, really can't convince them, even if Lu Bu's compulsory order is suppressed for the time being, there will be an outbreak sooner or later, not to mention that now Lu Bu is "far away from the emperor of the mountain", and he will not be subject to the order of the foreign monarch.
Zhao Yun also knew this, in fact, not long after entering Yecheng, there was a sign of this, probably because they felt that seeing that the victory was in sight, they all began to turn around in their hearts to grab the merit, and they were unwilling to let Zhao Yun alone be beautiful, if there was a common enemy of Yuan Shao in front of them, it would be okay at least to maintain the superficial unity, but if they knew now that Yuan Shao had "let go" of them, then I am afraid that it would be difficult for Zhao Yun to suppress them and let them not act without authorization.
But it is impossible not to tell them the news, Zhao Yun is a little distressed, he is most tired of this kind of intrigue, although he is not afraid of the real fight.
Xia Houlan said on the side: "Otherwise, let's take the lead and give them all ......."
Seeing that he made a gesture of "do it off", Zhao Yun said angrily: "Do you think that in this way, we will definitely be able to control the two thousand cavalry that are missing them?" ”
Xia Houlan just said it casually, naturally wanting to get this, but she felt more headache when Zhao Yun directly said it, and suddenly sighed: "If only there was a way to let them fall into Yuan Shao's trap, but it would not affect our plan." ”
Xia Houlan didn't feel anything when he said it, but Zhao Yun's eyes suddenly lit up when he was in the audience, and he only felt a flash of spiritual light in his brain, and he reacted quickly and immediately grabbed it, and then dug deep along this line like a cocoon in his brain, and soon had a plan in mind.
Seeing Zhao Yun pondering for a long time, the corners of his mouth hooked a smile, Xiahou Lan said, "Could it be that Zilong has come up with some good plan?" ”
Zhao Yun came back to his senses, restrained his smile, and said lightly: "It's not a good plan, it's just a plan!" ”
……
Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng, Xu You, Guo Tu and the others coldly, his face was gloomy and terrifying.
"Why, you don't want to explain to me well, let you go to the army to search for traitors, review the details, and you gave such a reply?"
Tian Feng explained with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, this is actually a plan I came up with to lure the enemy. First paralyze him and others with the news of the discovery of the traitor, and when they relax, they will naturally show their feet, and then we can catch them all. ”
Yuan Shao sneered: "Didn't Yuan Hao think about it, in case they thought that they would escape the catastrophe, and then settle down, we also have to wait here, which is equivalent to being dragged here by them, they just need to wait for time to pass, and then Lu Fengxian and Cao Mengde and they will come." ”
Tian Feng said: "The lord misunderstood Feng's meaning, what Feng thought was actually that we immediately ordered to go down, and the army drove out of Yecheng, and it was expected that those fine works would not be willing, plus I thought that we no longer paid attention to the army, thinking that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and it would inevitably come out again to make trouble, but in fact, at this time, we have set up surveillance people everywhere in the army, as long as we find that any of them have moved, he will not be able to escape, and he will take the initiative to throw himself into the net." ”
Yuan Shao listened reasonably, his face softened slightly, but he still frowned a little and said: "The army still has a lot of preparations that have not been made, so it is not appropriate to act rashly." ”
Tian Feng said: "It's just a show, naturally it won't really be opened, of course, the people of Yecheng will probably have some riots at that time, and this is also a place where those who are happy to see it happen, but we just need to take precautions in advance, and we don't have to worry about making a big mess." ”
Yuan Shao snorted and said: "I'm afraid this is all your speculation so far, if those meticulous works are still not moved at that time, wouldn't all the efforts we did be in vain?" ”
Tian Feng shook his head and said: "Feng is indeed not necessarily sure, but this will not be in vain, Feng's real idea is that to take this opportunity, the lord will first take some people to withdraw from Yecheng, no matter what, the safety of the lord and several sons will be ensured first, so that it is really foolproof, as for the rest, you can slowly draw it." In fact, Feng has always been worried, these meticulous works are probably not just for the sake of making trouble, although Yecheng and Yexian are surrounded by strict eyeliner, but who knows if there is Lu Bu or Cao Cao's men and horses who came around and went straight to Yecheng, just because there are not many people, it is not easy to be found, and it is not easy to appear directly outside the city, so we can only hide it first, and we have not found it. But if they take advantage of the fact that Yecheng and the army are messed up by them, they will take the opportunity to cooperate with the details inside, and it will also be promising. ”
Tian Feng's words made Yuan Shao, including Xu You, Guo Tu, Jiang Qi and others fall into contemplation, there is no stupid person here, but for various reasons, they either deliberately avoided or unintentionally ignored such an important issue.
In fact, if in other places, it may be blocked by the army because of the terrain and other reasons, then on the ground of Hebei and Jizhou in Yima Pingchuan, it is difficult to survive this situation, that is, although Wen Chou in the north blocked Lu Bu in the Liang period, and Gao Gan blocked Cao Cao in Wei County in the east, they may not come completely according to the normal path, but there will definitely not be too many people and horses bypassing in this way, and the normal way will indeed not be able to pose a threat to Yecheng, but it is really as Tian Feng said, linking all of them. It's not that simple. (To be continued......)
