Chapter 327: Cao Chun?
The Jingzhou army came quickly and retreated even faster, and it was even retreating directly that night.
Originally, Wei Tao was also going to make a night attack, not asking how many soldiers he could kill and injure the other party, as long as he could cause chaos on the other side, or even a field battle with himself, then Wei Tao's goal was achieved.
In this way, it naturally hurt the morale of the army very much, but it is obvious that even a general like Zhang Yun is silent about this.
I have to say that such a decisive retreat of the Jingzhou army was indeed a bit unexpected by Wei Tao and Jia Xu, but Jia Xu only pondered for a while to ensure that there would be nothing wrong with it.
As soon as the Jingzhou army retreated, Wei Tao was not afraid and pressed directly to Xiangyang City.
"Lord, the Cao army has moved, and it is still commanded by Xiahou Yuan, the divine general of 'five hundred in three days, one thousand in six days', according to this calculation, I am afraid that the vanguard army of the Cao army will be able to reach Fancheng in only three or five days."
Jia Xu said slowly.
"I have to say that although our army's march is very smooth now, the price of this success is that our army is not fast, and it is even worse to cut off contact with the Jingzhou Shi clan. The lord should act quickly. ”
Wei Tao nodded slightly, and then gave an order.
"The whole army sent the letter of persuasion into Xiangyang with arrows!"
With Wei Tao's order, he immediately dispatched 300 shooters from the army and shot straight into them with arrows, even though the high walls of Xiangyang City were thick, but this arrow was not serious about hurting people, so it was naturally unstoppable.
However, Wei Tao is like this, at most, he can only make the residents of Xiangyang a little chaotic, and it is impossible to easily cause chaos among the people in the other city when the war has just started.
So Wei Tao is going out to challenge again, but even if Wei Tao is letting his subordinates scold again. The other party is reluctant to come out.
"Who are the enemy guards? If it is Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others. Categorically not so. ”
Although there was a plan for a long time. But Wei Tao was also interested in guarding Xiangyang, and then asked.
"My lord, the guard general is the general of Jingzhou. As for Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, it is said that they collected all the Jingzhou water army, and after mastering the Jingzhou water army, they handed over all Jingzhou steps to Wen Ping, that is, Wen Ping guarded the city. ”
Hearing this, Wei Tao was also a little speechless, Jingzhou has really been peaceful for a long time.
That Cai Mao and the others prepared the back road so directly. If it is said that the Jingzhou clan will not know, it is naturally impossible, it will be so, I am afraid that the Jingzhou clan is also counting on that back road can be used.
"I know that this person is also a commander, and he is also cautious by nature, so he will not send troops easily, it seems that the only way to use Wenhe is to use it."
Wei Tao sighed slightly, and only ordered his soldiers to continue to scold to imprison the Jingzhou soldiers, but he returned to the camp with him.
"Wen He. Is it right? ”
"Huh...... The lord is relieved, and now the soldiers of Jingzhou have no heart to fight. I had already walked around the city before, and if it weren't for the fact that Wen Ping personally led people under the city walls to appease the army, I am afraid that it would not be impossible to surrender the city. That Kuai Zirou is good at scheming, but she doesn't know anything about soldiers. The sudden arrival and sudden retreat before frustrated my army's plan to fight with us, but they rushed back to the city and did nothing, which hurt morale even more. ”
Jia Xu smiled slightly, everything seemed to be under control.
In this way, a few days passed, and in the intervening days, Wei Tao just ordered people to shout and scold the challenge, and at the same time sent troops to seize the four key roads, and did not immediately attack the city.
Such a situation naturally surprised many generals and ministers in Jingzhou, and many ministers and generals gathered together to discuss why this was the case.
But after thinking about it carefully, that Kuai Yue said this.
"People say that the general is good at fighting, so this statement is true, but the general's battle, or strategy, or vertical and horizontal cavalry, can there be an evil siege record?"
Hearing that Kuai Yue's words, everyone in Jingzhou was stunned, but even if they thought about it carefully, they still couldn't answer, and finally Kuai Liang replied with some hesitation.
"If this is the case, I am afraid that only in the past when the Yellow Turbans were defeated, the words of the different degrees were that the general was not good at attacking cities? But one law can be used in one hundred ways, which is inevitably a little unreasonable, right? ”
"That's not what I meant, brother. According to rumors, that Wei Tao can be said to love soldiers like a son, and every time he goes to battle, he fights more with less, and defeats the strong with the weak. It can be imagined that he does not want his corporal to die because of this, and now he is not moving, first, there is indeed a lack of his troops, waiting for the arrival of military reinforcements and siege equipment, and second, he is unwilling to die because of this. ”
"What does Mr. Xenodu mean that you can wait for Cao Jun to come?"
Hearing Kuai Yue say this, everyone else was happy, but Wen Ping's face was always indifferent.
Wen Ping is one of the few people in the Jingzhou army who doesn't have much opinion on surrendering to anyone, only hoping that the war in Jingzhou can be less, and now knowing that Wei Tao will not attack the city, Wen Ping is relieved in his heart, but at the same time he is even more skeptical.
Wei Tao is also a great general in the world, how can this be?
"Huh...... I understand the meaning of General Wenpin, but even if it is General Xiahou Yuan, I am afraid that he will not be the opponent of the general, how can the general's move not be a plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements? ”
Kuai Yue is a famous person in Jingzhou, so he naturally has some kung fu, and he is immediately a joke.
"What's more, although we have made up our minds, we may not be willing to be a general, as long as we can protect my Xiangyang, then what is there to fear?"
Wen Ping immediately said silently, as long as the war in Jingzhou did not spread, Wen Ping did not have so many thoughts.
Even Wen Ping, the general of the defending army, acquiesced, let alone others.
"Report!"
While everyone in Jingzhou was discussing, a guard came in to report and said.
"Enlighten your lords, there is another army coming from outside, and the book on it says 'Cao'! Now that I am going to call the door under the city, I don't know what to do? ”
Everyone was stunned, unable to speak for a moment.
With such strategists as Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, they naturally secretly calculated in their hearts, at this time, the vanguard of the Cao army should also be able to arrive in Fancheng, and if they divide their troops and fall down, they should also come.
Although the Jingzhou family has been more inclined to Cao Cao, after all, they have not negotiated with Cao Cao, so they did not let the lord of Fancheng surrender Kaicheng, but let him hold on to Fancheng in case of accidents.
Between looking at each other, Cai Mao looked left and right, thought about it, and still said.
"Whether it's true or not, it's a look outside the city.
Hearing Cai Mao's words, everyone nodded secretly, and followed Cai Mao out.
When I got to the city wall and looked down, I saw a white-robed young general who was leading the army under the city, and a big banner with the word 'Cao' was waving in the wind.
The number of this army is not large, about 2,000 people, but everyone is a strong warrior, and the crotch is also a good horse, which can be described as a brave army in the world!
"Could this be a tiger and leopard ride? In addition to the general, only Prime Minister Cao Cheng is the only one who can have such a heroic army! ”
The generals of Jingzhou, who were still a little unkind between their words, were speechless after seeing this heroic army, and they actually had a little respect.
Just like facing Wei Tao, even if Cao Cao is not here, no one dares to call Cao Cao's name anymore.
"In Xia Cao Chun, in the city, it's General Cai Mao, Mr. Kuai Liang?"
Seeing the people in Jingzhou appear, the general under the city shouted unceremoniously and directly, and directly pointed out the few people who are now in charge of Jingzhou between his words.
"On behalf of the Prime Minister, I met with all the virtuous people, and said that the heart of the virtuous people has been very clear, if you can stick to Xiangyang, then the Prime Minister is willing to show your majesty your efforts to protect Xiangyang, so that you can guard Xiangyang in the world!"
"That's true!"
Even with Cai Mao's sophistication, Kuai Yue, and Kuai Liang's deep planning, at this time, I can't help but feel relaxed and shaken for a while, and I can't help myself.
Isn't what they are striving for is to allow their family to take root in Jingzhou and get the convenience of Jingzhou?
Now that it's so easy to get, how can you not let them rejoice.
"Is this true?"
Cai Mao couldn't help but lean out half of her body from the city wall, looking at Cao Chun with her eyes.
"Whether it's true or not, you can see it at a glance! This is the will of the Prime Minister to His Majesty, do you still not believe it? ”
At this moment, the general held an object in his hand and said, and saw a Huang Juan, although he didn't know what the content was, but it was indeed not the Supreme Royal that could not be used.
Looking at each other, Cai Mao already believed it, and couldn't help but turn his gaze to Kuai Liang and the two, although all the city defenses in Xiangyang were handed over to Wen Ping, but it was Cai Mao and the three who could really call the shots.
Kuai Liang and the others naturally understood what Cai Mao meant, that is, to let these people not enter the city.
If you really have the heart to invest in Cao Jun, it is naturally impossible not to let him enter the city at this time, but if there is fraud in it, then the consequences can be described as unimaginable.
So the two of them were also hesitant for a while.
"The prime minister of my family also knows your current situation, so when he ordered me to come, he had already ordered that I would camp outside the city, and Xiangyang would be at a close distance, and when the prime minister of my family arrived, he would naturally see the difference."
As soon as the voice fell, it would retreat, and in fact, he would not retreat.
Although Wei Tao did not surround Xiangyang City, after all, he only had the vanguard army in his hands, which was not enough, but there were sentinels on all sides, and Wei Tao knew everything about any abnormal movement.
Although they didn't talk for a long time, the soldiers under Wei Tao's command still rushed over extremely quickly.
That Cao Chun obviously didn't want to fight with him at this time, so he retreated in the blink of an eye, and when the soldiers under the command of Wei Tao saw this, they sent a general Zhao Yun to fight with Cao Chun for a little battle, and after the victory, they did not pursue it, so they withdrew their troops.
"It seems that it is indeed General Cao Gong, and I have the master of Jingzhou!"
Seeing that this was the case, Kuai Liang finally spoke, and Kuai Yue next to him also nodded slightly.
"Then if Cao Chun pretends to be a guard, how can he have such martial arts? Although I have never known Wei Tao and Cao Gongzhu, I have finally heard of the general appearance, this general has such martial arts but the appearance is not similar to those people, naturally it is not a famous general under Wei Tao!
