NO.582 JIA XU SLAUGHTERED THE CITY, AND PUNG TONG BEHEADED THE ENVOY
Pang Tong and Zhou Yu are both stoic people, although Guo Jia expected that if the two of them learned that Jia Xu had slaughtered the city, they would be furious, but it was impossible to predict whether the two would make mistakes impulsively. It's just that Guo Jia can be sure
is that Pang Shanmin, who is far away in Xiangyang to prepare for Jiangdong, will definitely not ignore Jia Xu's actions.
The Central Plains and Jing Xiang have been fighting for many years, and Guo Jia has also thoroughly touched Pang Shanmin's temperament, this person will not get angry easily, but once he is angry, he will be like thunder.
Just like when Zhang Ren died in battle, Jing Xiang was far from being as strong as it is now, and Pang Shanmin was angry, but he could kill Cao Chun in front of Cao Cao at the head of Runan City, and he didn't give Cao Cao any chance to mediate, and wanted to fight with Cao's army without dying.
Just one Zhang Ren can make Pang Shanmin so resolute, if he slaughters the people of a city, even Guo Jia can't imagine what kind of means Pang Shanmin will use to deal with the Central Plains.
After Guo Jia told Cao Cao about his concerns, Cao Cao also understood why Guo Jia left because of Jia Xu and vomited blood in depression.
It's just that in Cao Cao's opinion, Guo Jia doesn't need to worry so much about the foundation of the Central Plains, just thinking for a moment, Cao Cao said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, Wen He's desire to slaughter the city and Xu Du this time is not in line with Cao's wishes, but Wen He is not bad as he said before, if Cao is defeated in this battle, the Central Plains will have no future." In Cao's opinion, there is no need to think about Fengxiao for too long, then Pang Shanmin and Cao are both princes, and they are destined to fight each other until one side dies...... In this way, whether Pang Shanmin is angry or not, for Cao, the result is the same. ”
Guo Jia smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said to Cao Cao: "That's not the case. Before Jingxiang attacked the princes of all walks of life. It has always been a step-by-step operation, so that Jing Xiang's management of the newly occupied land is extremely stable, but this practice also gives the rest of the princes enough time to recuperate. However, Cheng knew that if Pang Shanmin attacked the land under the prime minister's rule with all his might, the battle situation would be far from what it is now. Now its Xichuan military horses have not moved. Only half of the Xiliang and Jingxiang military horses fought against us, and even so, they still had the strength to spare. Attack Koto. Guo only roughly calculated. Under his rule, soldiers and horses can be used, and there will be no less than 200,000 people, if once Wen and this slaughter of the city. Provoke it, and it is likely to have a showdown with the Prime Minister! However, with Jing Xiang, the time has not yet come for us......"
Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded.
Guo Jia's statement is not bad, Cao Cao weighed it for a while, sighed and said: "If Fengxiao's words are true, Cao Mou should have another battle of Guandu, now the tiger prison Pang Tong, Zhou Yu made Cao Mou like a fish in the throat, the tiger prison is not broken, my army can not live in peace, although Wenhe slaughtered the city although Cao Mou wanted, but it was also a last resort......
Guo Jia nodded when he heard this, and said no more.
Jia Xu's soldiers went out of the tiger prison and marched for days, but they arrived at Xudu in three days.
Because of the deterrence of the tiger and leopard cavalry left in Chen, Jia Xu's military horses were not hindered by anything along the way, and when he arrived in Xudu, Jia Xu saw that his four doors were closed, and he put on a posture of stubborn defense.
Seeing this, Jia Xu sneered a few times, and disdained the defense of Xudu City.
Not everyone can be like Guo Jia, can more than 10,000 troops and horses, defend the city for more than a month, now Zhou Yu is not here, in Jia Xu's view is the best opportunity to attack Xudu, although the army in the city is rigorous, but it lacks spirituality, presumably Zhou Yu left in a hurry, so that the soldiers and horses in the city acted according to the order.
However, in this kind of formation, Jia Xu could see the moves, and after thinking for a moment, Jia Xu ordered the army to camp outside the city and build siege equipment overnight.
The next day, the rumbling drum sounded outside the city of Xudu, Jia Xu gave an order, countless Cao troops rushed forward, although the Jingxiang army and horses resolutely defended, but after all, the Cao army was not afraid of death rushed to the city, and the battle reached the twilight, the more than 10,000 military horses left in the city were slaughtered by the Cao army, but most of the military horses under Jia Xu's command were also killed and wounded.
In the face of such a tragic battle, Jia Xu was still indifferent, and when he arrived in the city of Xu's capital, Jia Xu ordered his soldiers to guard the four gates, and sent a messenger to inform Cao Cao that Xu Du had been obtained.
The news of the fall of Xu Du soon reached the Tiger Prison, and Zhou Yu was very remorseful when he heard it.
In Zhou Yu's opinion, if he had been more fully prepared before, he would not have been attacked by Jia Xu in such a short period of time, and if the city was not broken, he could think of a way to rescue Xu Du, but now that it was broken, Zhou Yu had to face reality.
What worries Zhou Yu the most is Jia Xu's ruthlessness, if this person wants to lead the tiger prison army and horses out of the pass and slaughter the city, more than 100,000 people in the city will not be spared, thinking for a long time, Zhou Yu said to Pang Tong: "Shiyuan, Zhou wants to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to rescue Xu Du." ”
When Pang Tong heard this, he shook his head again and again.
After Jia Xu captured Xudu, Chen Liu's Cao army also moved when he heard the wind, and set up camp thirty miles outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and confronted the military horses in the pass.
Jing Xiang has few soldiers, and now dividing the troops is asking for his own death, and although Zhou Yu is very wise, Jia Xu is also a good strategist, and the two fight each other, and Guo Jia will always find a gap outside the city.
What's more, in Pang Tong's view, although Jia Xu is called a "poisoner", but he should not do such a thing as slaughtering the city, Pang Tong only took Xu Du this time, just to make the Tiger Prison army and horses divide troops to meet the enemy, the best choice at this time should be to respond to all changes with the same.
After Pang Tong told Zhou Yu what he thought in his heart, Zhou Yu was gradually persuaded by Pang Tong.
As Pang Tong said, Xu Du is the old land under Cao Cao's rule, and it was only a few months after Jing Xiang was gained, and Xu Du was prosperous, no matter how poisonous Jia Xu was, he would not destroy this rich place.
If you ignore the affairs of Xu Du, it is also feasible, anyway, in two months, it will enter the harsh winter, two months, Ren Na Jia Xu tossed is, once the winter, Cao Jun has to return to Hebei, no matter how many cities Jia Xu occupies, then fight back.
In this way, Zhou Yu and Pang Tong also unified their thoughts, and still conscientiously guarded the tiger prison to base Cao Jun, but two days later, Xu Du came with bad news, outside the city Cao Jun messenger into the tiger prison, he informed the two that Jia Xu had slaughtered the city in Xudu, and in just two days, the people of Xu Du had been slaughtered tens of thousands.
Pang Tong was shocked when he heard this, Zhou Yu also looked hesitant, and when the two came back to their senses, Pang Tong looked at the Cao Ying envoy with sharp eyes, and said to the left and right: "Slaughter it, hang the corpse in the tiger prison and close it!" ”
When the messenger heard this, he begged for mercy repeatedly, but Pang Tong was unmoved, and said with a cold face: "If it is useful to ask forgiveness, then Jia Xu will not be so vicious, Pang Mou does not believe it, the people of Xu Du have not begged Jia Xu for mercy, but there are still tens of thousands of people in different places, Pang Mou only killed you today, but this kind of blood feud will be recorded in Jia Xu's account sooner or later!"
