Chapter 8: Zhang Jaw retreats, Cao Cao advances north!

"Report! The cavalry sent by the general and our army returned to report that Guandu Town had been occupied by the Cao army, and General Gao Ran was stationed at Guandu Port with the remnants of his army, and the Cao army in Guandu only stepped up the construction of the fortress and did not attack General Gao Lan! "Zhang Jaw's lieutenant reported the military situation to Zhang Jaw.

"Guandu is really lost!" Zhang Jaw angrily hammered the desk, Guandu was lost, the defense line he built here was useless, if Cao Cao's army came back to help, he would be a meat bun!

"It looks like our army is going to be transferred!" Tian Feng pinched his beard and said meaningfully.

"Mr. Tian means we're going to withdraw our troops?"

"No, we should not withdraw our troops, but west!"

"Westward?" Zhang Jaw looked at Xu Yu suspiciously. "Sir, the west is the hinterland of Cao Cao, if it goes west, I'm afraid it will?"

"General Zhang, according to intelligence, to the west of Xudu, Cao's army relied on Wancheng as a backing to build a southwest defense line, but Wancheng was originally a territory of Jingzhou, Liu Biao coveted it for a long time, if we use cavalry to raid Wancheng, Liu Biao will definitely send troops to support, our army sent Wancheng to Liu Biao, in exchange for military rations, harassing Cao Cao, the day the lord goes south, it is the time for our army to return to the division!" Tian Feng told his strategic deployment in one go.

"No, General Zhang, if our army does not have the military order of the lord, how can we change the deployment without permission, since our army's surprise attack is not successful, we should return to Hebei, meet the lord, and make another plan!"

"This?" The jaw was embarrassed, and the left and right military divisions had different opinions, and they were strategically opposed.

"Hmph, pedantic, Xu Ziyuan. will be subject to the king's order outside. Fighter planes change rapidly. How can you retreat when you encounter some losses, you are a mislord of the lord! Tian Feng's upright temper came up again, and he began to scold Xu You.

"Tian Yuanhao, don't go too far, I'm just obeying the lord's order!"

"The Lord's order?" Tian Feng glanced at Xu You with disdain.

"How can a man who snorts and slaps horses really assist the lord!"

"Bold, Tian Yuanhao! This is the Lord's decree of the arrow. The lord has an order, if the raid is not successful, open his jaw to lead the troops north, converge Gaolan, stick to the pass north of Guandu, and wait for the lord's army to go south! After speaking, Xu You took out a command arrow from his arms, Yuan Shao's order arrow.

"Open your jaw, you don't get your order yet! Do you want to rebel? Xu You saw that Zhang Jaw did not immediately receive the order, and immediately reprimanded Zhang Jaw.

"Open your jaw to take the order!" After speaking. Jaw knelt down on one knee and took the arrow.

"Mr. Tian. The lord's worries are also reasonable, now that the morale of our army has been damaged, why don't you withdraw from the army? ”

"Humph! Xu Ziyuan, you always mislead the lord! Tian Feng shook his cuffs and left the military tent angrily.

Zhang Jaw was very embarrassed between the two, and after half a sound, Zhang Jaw looked at Xu You and said, "Mr. Xu? ”

"General Zhang, Xu Yu was offended just now, please forgive the general, please prepare for the withdrawal of the army, and pay attention to Xu Du's pursuers!"

"Thank you Mr. Xu for the reminder!" Zhang Jaw arched his hand and returned the salute to Xu You.

Xu You nodded and left the military tent, Xu You walked out of the military tent, sighed helplessly and said, "Tian Feng, you don't know the lord's strategy at all!" ”

On the second day, Zhangjaw's army cooked on the third watch, and the fifth watch withdrew from the camp. Lu Rui received information in Xudu and immediately led the cavalry and Zhu Ling's army to chase after Zhang Jaw.

"Report, General Zhang, the pursuers of the Cao army were found behind, there were about three thousand people, hundreds of cavalry, less than twenty miles away from our army!"

"Report, General Zhang, the Cao army fortress has been found ahead, less than ten miles away from our army!"

"Besieged?" Jaw opened and said to himself on the horse.

"General, there are still more than 6,000 sergeants in our army, why don't you fight back against the Cao army behind you, and let the Cao army see the strength of our army!" The adjutant general made a proposal to open the jaw.

"Humph! If it is entangled by the rear army, will our army not be attacked on both sides? "Zhang Jaw immediately thought, twenty miles away? The Cao army of Xudu must have sent someone to monitor his camp and retreat by himself, and the Cao army of Xudu will definitely find out. But now the distance is twenty miles, then it is the Cao army that has slowed down the march, if he turns back to meet the attack, the Cao army waits for work and builds a defensive line, he will definitely be entangled, and when the time comes, the Cao army in Guandu Town will attack again? I was surrounded!

"Pass on our military order, order General Jiang Qi to leave all the baggage and horses, block the road to the valley, set up a suspicious formation, and our army will detour from the valley!" Seeing a small valley ahead, he made a decision immediately.

"General? Are we going to give up the baggage and the horses? The adjutant looked at the open jaw in surprise.

"Carry out military orders!"

"No!" Zhang Jaw didn't have a chance to explain to the lieutenant general now, and he had a new plan in his heart.

Soon Jiang Qi surrounded the baggage into a phalanx formation, and then arranged the horses according to the cavalry formation, and at the same time made dummies with the armor of hundreds of sergeants, and set up a formation in the mountain pass. After leaving a dozen sergeants and a lieutenant, the army with open jaws went north along the valley and headed for Yanjin Baima.

"My lord! Cao Guandu's scout! The Yuan army, who remained at Taniguchi, soon discovered the scouts sent by Cao Ren.

"Okay, go ahead with the plan!"

"Yes!" Several soldiers rode up to Cao's scouts, and when Cao's scouts found out, they hurriedly retreated to Guandu.

"My lord, it looks like that kid ran away!"

"Chase a few more miles, then abandon the horses and join General Zhang on foot!"

"No!"

Subsequently, Lu Rui's chasing scouts also came, and the captain with Zhang Jaw also gave Lu Rui's scouts a false shot as they were.

"Report, General Qiyu Zhu, open your jaw to set up a military formation at the valley mouth in front, and it seems that you are waiting for our army!"

"Master Hou? Jaw wants to fight a decisive battle with our army? ”

"It seems that this is the case, since this is the case, our army rushed up and entangled Zhang Jaw, Uncle Zixiao must also send troops to reconnoiter Zhang Jaw, and when the time comes, our two armies will be able to defeat Zhang Jaw!"

"What Master Hou said is very true!" After speaking, Zhu Ling and Lu Rui stepped up their march and arrived at the mouth of the valley in less than half an hour.

"Master Hou, Yuan Jun seems to be a little strange?" When they arrived at the valley mouth, Zhu Ling's soldiers changed their offensive formation. only to find that Yuan Jun in front of him seemed to be wrong. None of them moved?

Lu Rui also found something wrong. It won't be so stupid to use soldiers with open jaws, everyone is in front of you, even if you don't call the formation, at least you have to change the formation!

"Murong Ping, lead the rattan armor iron cavalry to take a look!"

"No!"

Murong Ping rushed out with the cavalry, and soon arrived at the army formation of Zhang Jaw, at this time Murong Ping found that this was only a military horse and a baggage, and there was no Zhang Jaw army alone.

"Newspaper. Master Hou, those are dummies and military horses, and the army with open jaws is nowhere to be found! ”

"What!" Zhu Ling was stunned for a moment, and Zhang Jaw Jun disappeared?

"Master Hou, what do you see?"

"Wenbo, don't look at it, Zhang Jaw Jun must have run, and it would be impossible to run forward, if it wasn't for the right side. To retreat north along the valley is to withdraw the army to the left of the Funiu Mountains. ”

"Then Master Hou, can we still chase after us?"

"No need. After receiving their supplies, I sent someone to inform Uncle Zixiao that we would return to Xudu! ”

"It's up to the Hou Ye!" After Zhu Ling ordered people to collect the horses and baggage of the Zhang Jaw army, he led the troops back to Xudu.

Cao Ren led the army to the middle of the way, received the news from Lu Rui, and also returned to Guandu Town to continue building the fortress.

Soon, Cao Cao's army finally returned from the Xuzhou front and, like history, brought back Guan Er. Cao Cao set up a banquet in Sikong Mansion to entertain the three armies, and commended the people who had meritorious service in the defense of Xu, and this night, Sikong Mansion was a group of drunks in the world!

"Master Hou, get up, Lord Sikong has summoned you to his courtyard to discuss matters!" Ling'er hurriedly walked in and woke up Lu Rui.

'Huh?'

"Lao Cao's yard? Got it! Lu Rui dragged his tired body and stood up, it seems that he still has to practice his drinking, in ancient times, once he won a battle, he must be drunk, although the concentration of wine in the Han Dynasty was not high, but there were a lot, and it was also very bad!

"The child sees the middle father!" There was no one else in Lu Rui's main hall in the Chinese army, and Cao Cao was also wearing civilian clothes, so Lu Rui did not have to practice formal etiquette.

"Extraordinary? I haven't woken up yet! The extraordinary amount of alcohol can be practiced, and the amount of wine of Fengxiao is very good! Cao Cao looked at Lu Rui with a smile, and seemed to be in a good mood.

How much alcohol does Guo Jia drink? Grandma's, he's an alcoholic, and the amount of alcohol is a bargain, of course!

"I don't know what the middle father has to do when he recruits the child?"

"Oh? There is nothing important to do, just to ask about Tuntian. ”

"Extraordinary, how much grain and grass can our army produce this year?"

"Father Qi, this year's output of our army's grain and grass is calculated according to the jujube and Mao rank, if there is no shortage of water, it can be enough for our army for a year!" Lu Rui's wine has not yet woken up, and he can only use a sentence to perfunctory Cao Cao, and Lu Rui must not know the output, but this dosage is said by Mao Jie and Zaoyi.

"One year, good! If our army's military rations are really enough for a year, it will be a great achievement! ”

"It is all thanks to the middle father's assistance that the child can handle the affairs of Tuntian!" Lao Cao's sycophant has to be patted occasionally!

"Don't be too modest, this time Xu You's conspiracy in Xu Du was discovered by extraordinary intelligence, and even Wen Ruo praised it extraordinary."

"Teacher Xun is polite, but Rui didn't expect that Uncle Xu You would actually use a dog to transmit information!"

"Dogs? Xu Ziyuan, he still has a very good set of dog training! Cao Cao took a sip of tea, as if recalling something.

"Xu You is also a person who has read poetry and books, and he is from a big family, why is he interested in dog taming?" Xu You is not He Jin's butcher, he specializes in slaughtering dogs, how can he study dogs so much?

"Hehe, I don't know anything about it, Xu Ziyuan was so beautiful when he was young, especially a good married woman, but in the Shen family compound, these beasts are much more powerful than guards, Xu You learned this stunt in order to satisfy his selfish desires!"

Damn, it turns out that dog taming is the stunt of the Han wife trio Xu You, grandma's, dog taming for the spring event, Xu You may be the first person in the Han Dynasty.

Wait, it seems that Lao Cao and Xiao Hei in my yard also seem to be dogs, right?

"Father, it seems that you can also train dogs?" Lu Rui showed a playful smile and stared at Lao Cao.

"Rui'er can't talk nonsense, the middle father is a little afraid of dogs, the little black in your yard, every time the middle father comes to your yard, you have to avoid it!" Cao Cao said with a straight face.

Lu Rui smiled, did not break Cao Cao, and led the topic to family affairs, and the father and son talked for half an hour, and then went to breakfast together. (To be continued......)
