Chapter 167: Surrender
Cao Cao made a lot of determination, gritted his teeth, and said the word retreat.
Guan Yu also stopped in time, and on the other side, Zhang Fei also hurried to Gongsun Zhan's side and asked him to stop fighting.
Although it was a little inexplicable, Gongsun Chan still stopped and looked at Guan Yu and Cao Cao who were facing each other in the field.
"What's going on?" Gongsun Chan asked, pointing over there.
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes, "What else, Mr. made some moves before leaving, which made the 150,000 army powerless to resist." ”
Gongsun Chan was a little speechless, "What trick did Mr. make?" ”
"I'd better go back and talk to you in detail." Zhang Fei glanced at the lieutenants who did not squint, but had straight ears, and immediately frightened them back, not daring to probe.
Gongsun Chan nodded, anyway, when he went back, he would know, and it was nothing.
"When did you poison you?" Cao Cao still asked unwillingly, and he couldn't wait to know how to poison him, so he arrested the soldiers on patrol and beat them one by one.
But how could Guan Yu tell him, on his white face, his expression remained unchanged, and he said coldly, "Quickly withdraw the troops." ”
"Okay, retreat!" Cao Cao angrily asked the trumpeter to blow the horn of the retreating troops.
Cao Jun was overjoyed, they were really afraid that the prime minister would not be able to get along with the enemy army and slaughter them on a large scale, at this time they were like lambs to the slaughter, they were so vulnerable.
Before leaving, although there was some embarrassment, one by one's faces turned yellow, and they covered their stomachs, at least the whole army retreated safely.
Cao Cao didn't dare to stay near Xuzhou for too long, after all, no one knew if Liu Bei would regret it, take the men and horses, and kill it back!
But it just so happened that at this time, infected with the wind and cold, the whole army began to have the second reaction of hook kiss, and the limbs were weak.
This made it impossible for them to march at all, and they could only hope that Liu Bei was a trustworthy person.
This illness lasted more than twenty-four hours, and Liu Bei and the others also packed their bags and rushed to the eastern land overnight, and the hottest place known at present ———— Lianchi Volcano.
It is reported that Rulou belongs to the land of Xiao Shen's descendants, and has never been attacked in previous dynasties, so Liu Bei and his people need to be careful on this trip, so as not to be misunderstood, they are here to investigate the military situation.
After a few of them left, Gongsun Chan stayed in Xuzhou and took charge of the overall situation, and before leaving, Liu Bei also informed him of everything.
Gongsun Chan said that he would definitely guard Xuzhou before they came.
But just three days after they left, Zhao Xiaoyun's flying pigeon flew to Xuzhou, Yan Liang's assassination of Cao Cao, and Wen Chou's rebellious heart, also approached the Jiangdong region.
This made Gongsun Zan a little entangled, Liu Bei and they were not here, even Zhou Yu and Sun Ce also went together, Jiangdong was unguarded at this time, but Wen Chou was approaching at this time, how could he subdue him.
But if he goes to contact Wen Chou, there will be no one in Xuzhou, he doesn't go, and sending someone to tell the people in Jiangdong is tantamount to letting Jiangdong have one more general.
This is unacceptable to Gongsun Chan in any case!
"Report!"
Just when Gongsun Chan's face was embarrassed, the soldiers came to report.
The weirdness of his expression is not much worse than that of Gongsun Zhan.
"What's the matter? Say it. ”
Gongsun Chan was irritable, and the soldiers were still grinding.
The corners of the soldier's mouth moved, "General, there is a person outside the city who wants to see Lord Taishou, he, he said,"
"What did he say?"
Gongsun Chan slapped the table and scolded, "If you have something to say, say it!" ”
"He said he was a general on Yuan Shao's side and had come to surrender." The soldiers felt a little incredible, Jiangdong seemed to have a friendship with our Taishou, came all the way to borrow troops, and then the Cao army retreated strangely, and now the general on Yuan Shao's side came to surrender again, is it that our family is too guarded to dominate the world?
No, Taishou is the emperor's uncle, it should be said that he can take the throne?
"Yuan Shao's general?" Gongsun Chan clenched the letter in his hand, his eyes lit up, could it be Wen Chou?
"Quick, take me there." Gongsun Zhan's face was eager, but he couldn't hide his joy, if this Wen Chou didn't go to Jiangdong and directly led the troops to Xuzhou, it would be his entanglement.
The soldiers were busy leading the way, and only retreated outside the city.
"But General Wen?" At a glance, Gongsun Chan saw the man outside the city who was holding the horse in his hand, righteous and awe-inspiring, ignoring the pointing and pointing of the people around him, looking at the city tower.
The momentum of the body is by no means comparable to ordinary people.
Gongsun Chan felt that his face, which had not been smiling for many years, had cracked open today and could not be closed.
The man let go of the horse rope and arched his hand, "Exactly, I don't know if Your Excellency is Liu Taishou?" ”
Gongsun Zhan's expression stiffened for a moment, and then he smiled, "Lord Taishou is in poor health, and he sent me to meet the general. ”
Wen Chou was stunned, looked at Gongsun Zhan, and sighed secretly, it turns out that this is the person Zhao Xiaoyun sacrificed himself and wanted to save? I don't know what is unusual about this person, but in any case, he is asking for others, and he should be respectful.
"Then can I see Taishou today, there are important things that need to be told in person."
Gongsun Zhan maintained a friendly smile and said, "I'm afraid it won't work today, but Brother Wen can let Bo Jue do it for him." ”
"It's-"
Wen Chou frowned, "I'm afraid Bo Jue can't call the shots." ”
Gongsun Chan lowered his voice and said, "But what about General Yan?" ”
Wen Chou was shocked, "How did you find out?" ”
"Naturally, I know, and I also know that the general's trip is Jiangdong, but he came to Xuzhou temporarily."
Gongsun Zhan looked confident, looked at Wen Chou's face and said, "What does General Wen think?" ”
"If you can save him, Wen Chou's life and the army of 100,000 will be sent." Wen Chou said firmly, but he was even more afraid that Gongsun Zhan would reject him, after all, Cao Cao was very difficult to deal with.
At this time, I don't know if Yan Liang has done it, if he is caught, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape death, or it is better to live than to die.
Reading this, Wen Chou was even more anxious.
"I only learned about this matter today, as for how to rescue General Yan, we need to plan carefully, so as not to make General Yan fall into a more passive situation." Gongsun Zhan flickered at Wen Chou, and thought about it, Cao Cao's army had collapsed, why didn't he hear Yan Liang's news, it stands to reason that the entire army is nothing to him.
Even if Cao Cao himself was suddenly assassinated without the response of the soldiers, he might not be able to prevent it, but neither Yan Liang nor Cao Cao had any news coming out, which was also strange.
But the reason for Cao Jun's defeat was that he still had to hide it from Wen Chou, lest he run to save Yan Liang himself, how could he subdue him.
"By the way, didn't the Cao thief attack Xuzhou? Why is it still so busy? Wen Chou looked at the vendors who came and went calmly left and right, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
