Chapter 552: No Way Out
In the field, Zhang Liao was expelled by the stick hand, and the rest of the Cao army was all detained by Yuan Shangqiang to rob the people, which provoked everyone in the field to cry and cry for death one by one, but Yuan Shang had no sympathy, and beat the mandarin ducks with a stick, leaving all the Cao army, and drove Zhang Liao out of the battlefield alone.
Ma Chao kept watching Yuan Shang's actions, holding the war gun and saying nothing, until Yuan Shang had cleaned up the field, Ma Chao stepped forward, looked up at Yuan Shangyan who was radiant on the chariot and said, "Just let him go?" ”
Yuan Shang turned his head and looked at Ma Chao suspiciously: "Who?" ”
"Zhang Liao."
Yuan Shang smiled and said: "Of course, if you don't let him go, according to his personality, he will inevitably seek death, just fight a battle, and make a fuss of life and death, how bad the impact is, why bother?" ”
"But......" Ma Chao was a little puzzled when he heard this, didn't you always want to subdue Zhang Liao under your command? If we finally forced him to the end of the mountain, and then let him go, wouldn't our previous efforts be in vain? And in order to arrest him, even Li Dian and Le Jin, who were originally in the urn, fled together, what are we fighting for? ”
Yuan Shang smiled and waved his finger and said, "It won't be long before you understand, don't talk about this yet!" Let's go with me and see what the battlefield situation is against Soochow. ”
At the moment when Yuan Shang led the four generals to clean up the Cao army, the battle between the Eastern Wu side and other generals of the Yuan army had also come to an end. There is no requirement to pursue immediately, after all, the strength of Dongwu is still quite strong, and it is not too good to pursue it hard, but it will be deeply involved, and his current task is still to eliminate the Cao clan! After destroying the Cao clan and unifying Zhongzhou......
Let's settle the account of the dispute in Xuzhou with Sun Quan and Zhou Yu.
Yuan Shang did not pursue, and the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu were also happy and stable, and everyone came out slowly, and the soldiers floated out. Intention to return to Koto. As soon as this military order was issued, the generals of Eastern Wu were also Ansheng, but there was one person who began to be a moth.
This person is none other than Princess Jiao of Dongwu. Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang.
When Sun Shangxiang heard that Sun Quan withdrew his troops back to Wu. I was in a hurry. hurriedly ran to Sun Quan to hug the grievances.
"Second brother! Why do you want to withdraw troops! You won't help me slaughter Yuan Shang's brute! Sun Shangxiang's eyes were wet and misty, and he looked at Sun Quan with a sad face.
As soon as Sun Quan saw Sun Shangxiang's appearance, his head suddenly had a headache.
"Shang Xiang. It's not that my brother doesn't help you, the problem is that according to my later understanding, Yuan Shang's guy didn't do anything to you in front of the three armies that day...... He...... Didn't he just grab you and kiss you, oops~~, although hateful, but things have been like that in the past, and the current is still based on the great cause of Soochow, why bother arguing? ”
Sun Shangxiang was immediately angry when he heard this, stomped his feet and said, "Second brother, are you still not my own brother!" If the eldest brother is alive, he won't let me be bullied like this, I am also the sister of Lord Wu, I change to another man on weekdays, and I can't even touch a finger, but this time I let Yuan Shang's thief kiss and touch, you are my brother, just don't let me be the master, why do you still say such things! ”
Sun Quan said helplessly: "Little sister, my brother will definitely find justice for you the next day, but the current situation, it is useless for our army to stay in Xuzhou, if it is for his own personal grudge to compete with Yuan Shang here, how do you let my brother face the generals and ministers of Jiangdong?" How to be worthy of the entrustment of the eldest brother? Sister, don't make trouble! ”
Sun Shangxiang was about to speak, but a cough suddenly sounded behind him, but it was Zhou Yu who came from the horse.
Zhou Yu heard all the conversations between the two of them, he planned for a moment, calculated in his heart, and then came over to relieve Sun Quan.
"Don't worry about the county lord, today's retreat is just a move to slow down the flag, Yuan Shang's vulgar beast, Yu will not spare him the next day, Yu already has a good plan to get angry for the county lord at this moment, but it is not mature, let's go back to Dongwu, and then discuss it slowly, how about it?"
Sun Shangxiang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Brother Gongjin has a plan to help me get angry?" Don't lie to me! ”
Zhou Yu shook his head with a smile and said, "What did the county lord say, even if Zhou Yu has the courage, he won't dare to deceive you." ”
Sun Shangxiang is also a single cell, and he was immediately happy when he heard this, and he jumped back on horseback to command his own army, Sun Quan wiped the sweat on his head, turned his head and asked Zhou Yu, and said, "Gong Jin, you said that you have a plan to deal with Yuan Shang for Shang Xiang, but it's true." ”
Zhou Yu let out a long sigh and replied, "Fake! ”
"Huh?" Sun Quan was anxious when he heard this: "Aren't you messing around!" When we go back to Soochow, this girl will get up, we have no plan to reply to her, and she has to make a lot of trouble all over the house! ”
Zhou Yu lowered his head and pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Wu Hou, I just saw Lord Shangxiang, and I suddenly had an idea in my heart, I don't know if it is feasible or not, I want to discuss it with you." ”
Sun Quan was surprised when he heard this: "What do you think?" ”
Zhou Yu said: "The battle of Xuzhou proves that it is still too early for my Jiangdong soldiers to go north to lay the foundation. ”
Sun Quan nodded and said: "Yes, I also understand this time, Dongwu still don't think about anything else at present, the overall situation of Yuan Cao's battle will be determined, if there is no accident, Yuan Shang will unify the north, and then its army will be strong, relying on the land of Dongwu alone, we are afraid that there is no way to compete with it, and the current critical strategy is to seize Jingzhou." ”
Zhou Yu smiled when he heard this, nodded, and said, "Yes, but does Wu Hou have a good strategy to seize Jingzhou?" ”
Sun Quan was stunned when he heard this, thought for a while, and then said: "Although Liu Bei is not in Jingzhou at the moment, he is guarding the town of Yu, this person is extremely brave and powerful, and it is not suitable to be with him. ”
Zhou Yu nodded and said, "I do have one." ”
Hearing this, Sun Quan hurriedly said, "What is the best policy?" ”
"You can make the county lord of Shangxiang marry someone on Liu Bei's side, and then ............"
Zhou Yu offered Sun Quan a trick to get married. intended to plot against Jingzhou, but he didn't want this clever plan, but it caused the drama of "Sun Shangxiang recruiting relatives in a martial arts competition, and Yuan Shangliu fighting wits and courage" in the future.
******************************
Dongwu retreated, Yuan Shang was still chasing deeply, he was not interested in Dongwu at the moment, he was only interested in Zhang Liao.
Handed over the battlefield to his subordinates, Yuan Shang immediately began to discuss the matter of Zhang Liao with Xiao Ji and others.
After setting up a temporary shelf on the battlefield and laying the map of Zhongzhou on it, Yuan Shang looked at the topographic map and said, "Xiao Ji." I heard you say that last time. How many routes are there from Xuzhou back to Yanzhou? ”
Xiao Ji pointed to the map and said, "There are twelve in total. ”
Yuan Shang nodded with a smile and said, "And they are all guarded by Cao Jun?" ”
Xiao Ji hurriedly said: "Naturally." The subordinate had already told the lord last time. The situation was tense during the Great War. Cao Jun arranged exploration camps on the main roads of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and these twelve roads were respectively composed of Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Wei. Xiahou He, Xiahou Shang and others guarded ......"
"Stop!" Yuan Shang raised his hand, signaled to Xiao Jizhen, and said: "That's it, I want to know now which way Xiahou Shang is guarding?" ”
Xiao Ji looked down at the map, then raised his hand and pointed to one of them, and said, "This is the way." ”
When Yuan Shang heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Very good, Zhang Liao is alone, there are no horses and there are injuries under his feet, he can't walk fast, quickly send our cavalry to rush in front of him, block his passage to the other Cao military camps, and force him all the way to Xiahou Shang!" He was only allowed to go to Xiahou Shang's camp! ”
Yuan Shang's side, Ma Chao listened to Yuan Shang's words, and seemed to have an understanding, he glanced at Yuan Shang with admiration, and said in a low voice: "It turns out that the lord has been fighting this idea from the beginning, no wonder you are willing to let Zhang Liao leave." ”
Yuan Shang nodded and said, "It's not easy to get Zhang Liao to surrender, you can only force him to the point of cornering!" ”
****************************
As Yuan Shang expected, Zhang Liao was alone, sat down without a horse, was wounded under his feet, and moved very slowly, so that Yuan's light cavalry could quickly bypass him and rush to the front to block his return.
Along the way, Zhang Liao met several Yuan troops who occupied an area, but these Yuan troops did not fight with him, but only told him that this road was not passable, so that he changed the way, which provoked Zhang Liao to be very angry, and repeatedly wanted to confront him, but he was currently at a disadvantage, there were injuries and no horses, and it was in vain to fight hard, so he had to change his way in desperation.
It wasn't until his direction pointed to Dazhai at the junction of Yanxu that Xiahou Shangtun lived in Dazhai at the junction of Yanxu that Cao Jun did not stop him.
At this moment, in Xiahou Shang's military camp, the sentry scout made a detailed report to Xiahou Shang on the battle situation on the front line.
Knowing that Xuzhou had been controlled by Yuan's army, and Cao's army's power in Xuzhou had been completely destroyed, Xiahou couldn't help but sigh at the sky.
The situation on the battlefield in Zhongzhou was not very optimistic, but now half of the battlefield in Xuzhou has been lost, is this really the death of the Cao family?
As a member of the Cao family, seeing that his own strength had such a precarious situation, Xiahou Shang's heart was like a big stone, as uncomfortable as he was, and as panicked as he gambled.
However, at this time, another news that made people even more panicked reached Xiahou Shang's military camp.
"What do you say? Zhang Liao promised me to come? Xiahou Shang couldn't help frowning as he listened to the report of the scout below.
"Yes!" The scout replied respectfully.
Xiahou Shang sneered and said: "Xuzhou is lost, Guo Jia died in battle, he is the main general, and he still has the face to come back?" How many remnants of soldiers and horses did he lead? ”
"There are no soldiers and horses, so he is alone, and he still walks on foot."
Xiahou Shang was shocked when he heard this, blinked, and said, "Not a single soldier?" Just him, or on foot? ”
"Yes, not only that, but General Zhang Liao's leg was injured and it was very difficult to move, General Xiahou, should we send someone to pick it up?"
"No!" Xiahou Shang raised his hand and said hesitantly: "There is not a single soldier, and he is injured in his leg and walks on foot, how did Zhang Liao break through Yuan's camp and come back?" Yuan Jun didn't even let go of one of our soldiers, as the main general, how could he leave him alone? Even if he was lucky enough to break out of the encirclement, could he still be able to escape the pursuit of Yuan's iron cavalry in this situation? This is ...... There are quirks! ”
