Chapter 036 roasted Liu Cong and ate it

Let's talk about Xiahoudun.

He was so busy in Xuchang that he couldn't get to the ground.

What are you busy with? Hey, I was busy taking care of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, stabilizing the situation in the Xuchang area, reclaiming barren fields south of the Yellow River, and learning about the military situation in Fancheng, Nanyang, Yuzhou, and many miscellaneous things.

These things were specially explained to Cao Cao when he left.

Cao Cao said to him: "Yuan Rang, let me tell you the truth, this emperor is of no use to us, the only use is to let him live here and be our signboard." Let the world know that we are doing things for the Liu family's court.

When we clean up the unsatisfied bastards in the world, we will come back and burn this emperor to death.

At that time, the world will be our brother's.

However, it is not yet possible to burn him, it is useful to keep him.

I went to Hebei to clean up Yuan Shao's three sons, and it would be really inconvenient to take Emperor Xian with me. So leave him here. You have to take good care of it.

Well, the people around him are all my cronies, and even the eunuchs are also my people, so you don't have to worry about Emperor Xian, you just send someone to monitor him closely.

In particular, pay attention to these ministers around him, these bastards don't have a good thing, and they don't care that they have taught Emperor Xian badly.

See which one wants to make waves when it doesn't work, you don't need to apply for my approval, just code it. ”

This Xiahou Dun nodded in agreement.

Cao Cao finished ordering this important matter, and arranged a military task for him: "I said Yuan Rang, you have a great responsibility here." Big brother, I will lead the troops to the north, and I don't know what year and month will be able to complete the affairs of Hebei, so when the eldest brother is not there, all the things south of Xuchang have to be entrusted to you to manage.

Let me tell you, when I am not here, big brother, you should observe the situation here and not act rashly.

Sun Quan, don't touch him for the time being; Liu Biao, don't touch him for the time being.

When I clear the Yuan family's forces, I will bring troops over to clean up these two guys.

By that time, we will be strong, well, neither of these two will be our opponents. Hahahaha. ”

Xiahoudun knew that he had a heavy responsibility, and after listening to Cao Cao's instructions, he asked: "Big brother, I know that I have a great responsibility, according to your wishes, I know not to act rashly, wait for the opportunity." However, Sun Quan and Liu Biao may not necessarily listen to you. What if they take the initiative to bring their troops over? Am I still standing still? ”

"Grass!" Cao Cao scolded: "Are you stupid? When I tell you to stand still, I tell you not to take the initiative to attack, but to stick to it. Of course, if Sun Quan and Liu Biao take the initiative to bring troops over to find trouble, you can completely make your own decision - whether to defend or fight is up to you. There is only one purpose, to keep Fancheng Yuzhou Wancheng without loss. ”

Cao Cao bowed his head for a while when he said this, and then said, "You have also been on the battlefield with me for a long time, and you have a lot of combat experience. Therefore, I am relieved to entrust you with such a heavy responsibility. ”

Xiahou Yuan was very moved by these words, and immediately patted his chest with both hands to express his determination: "Big brother, don't worry, even if I go to the soup to fight the fire, I also want to protect this piece of land for my eldest brother." ”

Cao Cao patted Xiahou Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, don't show your determination, I don't have to worry about you doing things." Well, now I will leave everything south of Xuchang to you, and you can decide to deal with it yourself. All right. That's it. ”

Cao Cao patted his cheeks when he arranged to come here, and went out with the three sons who crossed the Yellow River to bully Yuan Shao with elite soldiers, leaving a lot of chaos here to Xiahoudun.

Xiahoudun is a good fellow.

Absolute loyalty to Cao Cao.

However, a talent like this, whoever uses him, he will be loyal to whom. What's more, he and Cao Cao are still brothers in the family, Cao Cao gave him such a heavy task, can he not do it anxiously?

If you work wholeheartedly, you will definitely be busy.

So Xiahoudun is really busy here.

It's not, I'm busy, and here comes again, Fancheng Cao Ren sent scouts to send urgent information four times a day, and each time he said that the situation in Fancheng was shaky, as if Fancheng would be conquered by Jingzhou soldiers tomorrow.

From the content of the intelligence, it can be seen how anxious Cao Ren and Man Zhong are. Cao Ren was full of favor on the letter, and repeatedly begged Xiahoudun to send troops to support him quickly.

Xiahoudun is very decisive!

As soon as he saw this situation, he asked the envoy of Fancheng about the distribution of the troops of Jingzhou, and the envoy told him: "Twenty miles east of Fancheng, there are 5,000 elite soldiers led by Liu Feng, cutting off the way out of our army in Fancheng; To the west, twenty miles, 5,000 elite soldiers camped in the Pingdai belt, blocking the vital places, cutting off the passage between our army and Fangling Shangyong County; Eighty miles north of Fancheng, the official road leading to Deng County at Partridge Ridge was cut off by Wei Yan leading 10,000 troops to camp.

Now Liu Cong personally brought 20,000 elite soldiers to the Weiyan barracks and stationed there.

On the water surface of the Xiangjiang River south of Fancheng, the boats of the Jingzhou Navy Division patrolled day and night, and our army was just a fish, and it could not smuggle across the Xiangjiang River.

Oh, General, Fancheng has been heavily surrounded and is in danger.

You can also see from the intelligence that General Cao Ren and the full favored military division are so anxious? ”

Xiahoudun is a good temper, although the history books say that he is as fierce as fire, but at this time he is not in danger, I saw him raise his hand and wipe a few handfuls on his face, and after making a sober movement, he asked the envoy of Fancheng: "Who is the main general of Jingzhou soldiers in this military operation?" Did Liu Biao come out to lead the troops to fight? ”

"Yaha, general, you can't think of this, guess who can take Jingzhou's 40,000 elite soldiers across the Han River to fight you? It's not Liu Biao, Liu Biao is so sick that he can't go out. ”

"There's no guessing that! Who is it? Cai Mao? Huang Zu? The messenger shook his head.

"Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei? Or Zhao Yun? The messenger shook his head again.

Xiahoudun was a little angry, so that the envoy would sell the guanzi here.

Since he was on fire, the anger immediately filled his chest, and he saw Xiahou stand up suddenly, clapped the case with his hand and shouted: "The enemy is coming, you don't report the military situation truthfully, and you are still playing the general here, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”

When the messenger saw this, he knelt down and kowtowed, "Damn it!" The general spared his life. The chief general of the Jingzhou soldiers in this operation is Liu Biao's second son, named Liu Cong. ”

"Liu Cong?" Xiahoudun asked with a puzzled face: "Haven't you seen such a general as Liu Cong in the Jingzhou Yamen?" What the? Liu Biao's second son? How old are you? Liu Qi, I know, in his thirties, why did Liu Biao let a child lead the army? What do you mean? Deliberately mocking and ridiculing us, right? ”

The envoy didn't know much about Liu Cong, so he summarized and said: "General, I heard that this Liu Cong is very powerful!" Both civil and military, a good kung fu, and can predict, plan everything, plan everything, the people of Fancheng say that he is more powerful than Sun Quan of Eastern Wu. He also said, "The envoy looked at Xiahoudun when he said this, and Xiahoudun saw that the envoy had stopped talking, so he urged: "What else do you say?" ”

"Everyone in Fancheng said that they all said that the people who could compete with our army in the future are Sun Quan and Liu Cong!"

"Grass!" Xiahoudun scolded in his heart: "A child who has not dried up with milk, was blown into the sky by everyone. I'd like to see if this kid has all his hair. ”

When Xiahou scolded here, he ordered: "You go back." went back and told Cao Zixiao that he wanted him to guard the city well. I will order two men to call for help from him. All the way was Xu Huang, who ordered him to lead his troops to march through Deng County. All the way is Xiahou Yuan in Yuzhou, leading the troops to march south. The two reinforcements acted together, and the siege of Fancheng could not be lifted immediately, which was enough to disperse the offensive of the Jingzhou soldiers and delay their siege time. At the same time, I will send another letter to Wei Gong to report, asking Wei Gong to write back to guide this battle. ”

When Xiahoudun said this, he watched the waiter say goodbye and left, he stood in place and lowered his head and thought for a while, and muttered with a cruel smile: "Actually, don't worry about the lord, I will clean up Liu Cong's child."

Well, when I catch Liu Cong'er one day, I will roast him on the fire and eat it. Hmph, I'd like to see if the boy's hair grows full! ”036
