Chapter 109: Han Sui's son
Chencang, north of Weishui, south of Chencang Mountain, west of Liangzhou Plain, east of Chencang Plain, connecting Guanzhong area, since ancient times are the battleground of soldiers.
After the Xiliang army retreated to Chencang, thirty trenches were built on the Chencang Plain, each trench was one mile apart and ten zhang deep, and a large number of giant deer and war horses were set up near the trenches.
"Lord, it seems that the Xiliang army has already built a defense line here, and it may not be easy for our army to capture Chencang." Xun You showed concern after looking at Chen Cang's defensive line.
"Well, back to camp!" After Cao Cao observed the defense line of the Western Liang army, he returned to the barracks. Cao Cao's army was stationed in the Weishui Valley north of the Chencang Plain.
"See Sikong-sama!"
"You don't have to be polite, get up!"
"Lord Xie Sikong!"
"Extraordinary, this time you have made a great contribution to regain stability, and I will make a record of the next merit, and I will reward you after returning to Xudu." Cao Cao looked at Lu Rui with satisfaction, regained stability, Cao Jun turned passive into active, and pacified Xiliang just around the corner.
"Thank you, Lord Sikong! Rui doesn't dare to take credit, Xiliang Si will become Yi, Liang Xing, Yang Qiu, the candidates have merit, please Sikong Lord will be rewarded for meritorious deeds! ”
"Good! These four people are all meritorious people, and the department has named these four people as the generals of the town army, and they have been given the title of Marquis of Guannei, and they have been rewarded with thousands of dollars. ”
"Rui for the four people, Lord Xie Sikong, rewarded the knight!"
"Extraordinary, are Yang Qiu and the candidate seriously injured?"
"Back to Lord Sikong, the candidate and Yang Qiu were injured by Ma Chao in pursuit of the Xiliang army that retreated to Chencang, and the two are still unconscious."
"Well, the two of them have made great contributions to our army. Transmission of the Air Force Order of the Division. Send the two generals to Xudu to heal their wounds. Bestow on the house to cultivate. ”
"Yes, Sikong-sama!" Lu Rui arched his hand and smiled slightly, Lao Cao was really powerful, killing two birds with one stone, seizing the military power of the two and monitoring the actions of the two.
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, I just inspected the deployment of Chen Cang with this company. What do you think? After Cao Cao dealt with the affairs of the four generals, he immediately pulled the issue back to Chen Cang.
"Back to Lord Sikong, the Xiliang Army has been deployed in Chencang for many years, if our army relies on the army to attack, I am afraid that there will be a lot of losses, or wait for our army's heavy siege equipment to arrive in Chencang, and then reorganize the army to attack Chencang, now our army should rest and recuperate." Sima Lang was the first to stand up and return to Cao Cao.
Chen Cang has been under the control of Ma Teng and Han Sui since the late period of Dong Zhuo's era, and has been operating Chenggaochi Shen for many years. The trenches outside the city were not built in a matter of months.
"Bonghyo, what do you think?"
"Returning to Sikong-sama. In order to gain time to pursue the Xiliang army, our army has only arrived at Chencang and the army is still in the rear. ”
"Well, good! Ben Sikong didn't expect the Xiliang Army to react so quickly and retreat from the north bank of Weishui so quickly. For the sake of the two of you, we will rest here for a while. ”
"Your Excellency is wise!"
"You all step down, extraordinary, Fengxiao, Gongda, the three of you stay, this department has important things to discuss."
"Yes, Sikong-sama!"
"Extraordinary, I heard that there is a famous Yellow Turban military division in the Xiliang Army, who is Zhang Jiao's apprentice? Most of Xiliang's strategies come from his wisdom? After everyone retreated, Cao Cao began to ask Lu Rui.
"Back to the lord, this person's surname is Zhang, his name is Bai Qi, he is the Yellow Turban in Guanzhong, it is rumored that he is one of Zhang Jiao's apprentices, quite resourceful, Rui has fought with this person several times, but he has not gained the upper hand, but has returned."
"Don't blame yourself, even this Sikong admires Zhang Baiqi's resourcefulness, Chang'an set up a formation, raids and stability, sticks to Weibei, interlocking plans, and thoughtfulness. is a talent, and what is even more rare is that before the Xiliang army lost its stability, Zhang Baiqi made preparations to retreat to Chencang. Cao Cao expressed his appreciation for Zhang Baiqi between his words, and he left a back hand in every plan to make himself invincible!
"Extraordinary, in your opinion, will Zhang Baiqi join our army?"
"This?" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, Lao Cao's love for talent was overflowing again, and he actually wanted to subdue Zhang Baiqi. "Back to the lord, I think that Zhang Baiqi will not serve our army."
"Oh? Why? More than 100,000 Qingzhou yellow scarves have been subdued by this department, is Zhang Baiqi unwilling to return to the imperial court and seek an official position? ”
"Returning to the lord, Zhang Baiqi is a believer in Zhang Jiao, and he believes in the Yellow Turban Dao, I am afraid it will be difficult to be loyal to our army." Zhang Baiqi has been cruising with the Guanzhong area, Zhong Xuan began to surrender the nearby rogues as soon as he entered Chang'an, if Zhang Baiqi was willing to return to Shun, he would have returned to Shun a long time ago, in history, Zhang Baiqi died in Han Ma Teng's conquest by the will of the imperial court, how could such a person join Cao Cao, who held the righteousness of the imperial court.
"Hahahaha! If you don't try, how will you know that Zhang Baiqi is unwilling to join our army? Cao Cao disagreed with Lu Rui's opinion and insisted on trying.
"Lord, Zhang Baiqi's matter is still a matter of the future, and the current priority is the matter of Xu Du." Guo Jia interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Well, Fengxiao has a point, you talk to Bufan about Xu Du."
"The matter of Xu Du?" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, it was not Zhang Baiqi's matter, how could there be Xu Du's matter.
"Lord, could it be that Yuan Xi has any movements?"
"Extraordinary, Han Sui's son was killed in Xu." Guo Jia said lightly.
"What? Han Sui's son was killed? Lu Rui was taken aback, on the eve of the battle of Guandu, Han Sui had a conflict with Ma Teng, and in order to gain Cao Cao's support, Han Sui sent his son to Xu Du as a hostage. Han Sui's son was originally an important pawn of Cao Jun's pacification of Xiliang, but now that he is dead, he has a great impact on Cao Jun!
"Extraordinary, you should also know the importance of Han Sui's son, even if Han Sui is unwilling to surrender to our army, after killing Han Sui, you can still use Han Sui's son to appease Han Sui's old department, but as soon as Han Sui's son dies, our army will have to change its strategy." Xun You analyzed the situation and glanced at Lu Rui worriedly.
"Hmm!" Lu Rui nodded, the death of Han Sui's son was even more terrible than Han Sui's death. The so-called rules of the rivers and lakes: If you don't suffer from your family, why do you kill someone who is a proton for you casually? Have the ability to rush to the master!
As soon as Han Sui's son died, it was a signal, no matter how Cao Jun explained, Cao Jun wanted to fight to the death against Han Suijun until death.
"Lord, Xun Junshi is in Xudu, didn't he find anything?" Lu Rui thought of Xun Yu in Xudu, with Xun Yu's wisdom, he would not be unaware of the importance of Han Sui's son, and he must have sent heavy troops to guard it.
"Nope!" Cao Cao coldly burst out of his mouth a sentence.
"This?" Lu Rui was stunned, Xun Yu's resourcefulness didn't find anything? And Cao Cao's attitude towards Xun Yu, is there any hidden secret?
"Extraordinary, Wen Ruo really didn't find anything, I'm afraid." Guo Jia stopped talking and glanced at Cao Cao.
"Wen Ruo's heart is to the Han family, I'm afraid his heart is not in my empty mansion!"
"My lord?"
"Extraordinary, this Sikong has decided to let you return to Xudu!" Cao Cao sighed and looked at Lu Rui with a firm gaze.
"No!" (To be continued......)
