3,000 soldiers were wiped out!

This number directly stung Cao Ren..The fastest update access: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ.

Since Cao Cao's withdrawal of troops, Cao Ren's marches and battles have been quite steady, carefully reorganizing his soldiers, and trying to restore their combat effectiveness as soon as possible. No, the number and combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command had just recovered, and he had fought a small victory before, and his heart was already happy.

However, it was not long before 3,000 soldiers were wiped out.

Such a result was difficult for Cao Ren to accept.

"Report!"

Suddenly, outside the hall, another soldier quickly ran in.

The soldier entered the hall, knelt on one knee, and reported: "General, the Jingzhou soldiers who attacked Xinye County have withdrawn. Now, the crisis in Shinno Prefecture has been lifted. ”

Cao Ren asked, "Did you defeat the Jingzhou soldiers, or did the Jingzhou soldiers retreat on their own initiative?"

The soldier replied: "It was the Jingzhou soldiers who took the initiative to retreat, according to the estimate of the Xinye County Order, if the Jingzhou soldiers attacked for two more days, it would be enough to capture Xinye County, but in the end, the Jingzhou soldiers withdrew." ”

"Is this the case?"

When Cao Ren heard this, his eyes narrowed.

"I see!"

Suddenly, Xu Huang spoke.

Cao Ren looked at Xu Huang and asked, "Gongming, what do you understand?"

Xu Huang said: "Zhang Ren's purpose this time is not Xinye, but our reinforcements. In other words, Zhang Ren's strategy this time was to encircle the point and send reinforcements, which was to target our reinforcements. Zhang Ren wiped out our reinforcements, so he naturally gave up attacking Xinye County. Perhaps in Zhang Ren's view, taking a Xinye county town is far worse than defeating 3,000 troops. ”

When Cao Ren heard this, his body was also shocked.

He was also a man of troops, and knew the main points of marching and fighting.

As soon as Xu Huang mentioned it, Cao Ren immediately understood.

However, doubts and confusion suddenly rose in Cao Ren's mind, and he said: "Gongming, Zhang Ren's strategy is good, but it is quite difficult to succeed in the strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements. Among them, first, he must know that we will have reinforcements to support, after all, Xinye County did not send troops for help, and there is no way to know that we are going to send troops at this time; second, he must know our marching route, and he must be able to determine the location to choose the ambush; third, it is not easy to sneak from Chaoyang County to the vicinity of Xinye. If we do not know the situation of our troops, it is difficult to avoid the patrols of the army and the search of spies. ”

After Xu Huang heard this, his eyes narrowed.

Cao Ren's words are words in words.

Such words, Xu Huang was not suitable to continue, so he simply did not speak.

Cao Ren's gaze suddenly fell on Jia Xu and asked, "Mr. Jia, do you have anything to say?"

Jia Xu said lightly: "In this battle, the old man has not participated in it from beginning to end. Now that General Cao's army has been defeated, what can the old man say? Could it be that General Cao's march and battle were too hasty?"

When Cao Ren heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

Cao Ren said: "Ben will suspect that you colluded with Liu Xiu and betrayed the information. ”

"Joke!"

Jia Xu's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "General Cao, you can eat 'messy' food, but you can't say 'messy' words." Please pay attention to your words. ”

In Cao Ren's heart, he already had an opinion on Jia Xu.

Now that he has torn his face, he has no scruples.

Cao Ren said coldly: "At the beginning, Liu Xiu sent Huo Jun to Wan County to see you, what did you talk about with Huo Jun? Liu Xiu's letter to you is covered with ink, and Ben Jiang doesn't know it. But since that day, you have been weird, and in your words, you have also defended Liu Xiu a lot. What do you say about that?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "The old man is loyal to the prime minister, and there has never been anything to be sorry for the prime minister." Liu Xiu sent Huo Jun to recruit the old man, you know about this. At that time, you also heard Huo Jun's words. ”

Cao Ren snorted and said, "Huo Jun naturally excused you in every possible way, and when the time came, your conversation was over." The information that Ben will know is also limited. ”

Jia Xu said: "Since the information I know is limited, then please don't talk nonsense." ”

Cao Ren continued: "Then, regarding the last 'engagement' battle, it was originally a situation of steady victory, but you persuaded you not to go. In the end, Ben insisted on sending troops and won the victory. This 'engagement' battle, Liu Xiu actually aimed at the general's reinforcements, but it was a situation where he was bound to lose, but you didn't say anything. ”

After a pause, Cao Ren said again: "Ben General also asked you, but you still didn't speak. Mo Fei, you already knew that Liu Xiubu was ambushed. In other words, Liu Xiu's ambush can easily arrive, and he can easily know the news that he will send reinforcements, all of which you have facilitated. Jia Wenhe, if it weren't for you, then how could Liu Xiu ambush these three thousand soldiers. ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said, "'Desire' and the crime are unforgiving, General Cao insisted on putting the news of the defeat of these 3,000 soldiers on the old man's body." ”

Cao Ren said: "This is a fact. ”

Jia Xu sneered: "Whether it is the truth or not, you know best." ”

Cao Ren said again: "This battle, if it weren't for you, would never have caused the current situation." The only possibility is that you colluded with Liu Xiu, or that you have already thrown yourself into Liu Xiu. Either way, you're the one who is most suspicious. Ben will not kill you, he will let the prime minister dispose of you. ”

"Someone!"

Cao Ren's eyes were cold, and he shouted.

In an instant, two soldiers rushed in from outside the hall.

When Jia Xu saw this scene, he also stood up and scolded: "Who dares to take me?"

Cao Ren said: "Jia Xu, if you resist, there will be no forgiveness for killing!"

The cold words, the cold eyes, and the trace of hatred that flashed in the depths of those eyes were all reflected in the eyes.

Jia Xu saw the soldiers coming, and then looked at Cao Ren, and suddenly sneered, and said: "The prime minister has always said that Cao Ren is generally knowledgeable, both civil and military, but now it seems that he is just a horseman. Nothing. The prime minister asked you to be stationed in Nanyang County, but he chose the wrong person. ”

These words even more 'provoked' Cao Ren's anger.

"Take it down, put it in prison, and never release it without the order of the general. ”

Cao Ren's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent.

If it weren't for Cao's '' attitude towards Jia Xu, he would have killed Jia Xu now.

The soldier walked over, Jia Xu flicked his sleeves, and said, "Stand out, the old man will walk by himself." He held his head high and left the hall, leaving behind the officials.

When Jia Xu left, the atmosphere in the hall was still a little deadlocked.

Cao Ren said: "The soldiers who have lost their troops this time will be re-recruited immediately. In addition, pay close attention to Zhang Ren's movements. In addition, the matter of Jia Xu will be handled separately by this official. ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded yes and did not speak.

Cao Ren asked everyone to retreat, but Xu Huang was left.

Cao Ren asked: "Gongming, Jia Xu is arrogant, and now he is colluding with Liu Xiu, you say, what should be done about this matter?"

Xu Huang said: "Brother Zixiao, after all, Jia Xu is the prime minister's henchman and a talented person, if you treat Jia Xu too much, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the prime minister to pass." In my opinion, it is better to report it truthfully, what to do, then what to do. ”

After Cao Ren heard this, he nodded and said, "Gongming is reasonable, this matter will be done." However, Ben Jiang believes that Jia Xu definitely has something to do with Liu Xiu, otherwise he should never behave like this in these two wars. ”

Xu Huang nodded, but did not answer.

After Cao Ren and Xu Huang retreated, he began to write a war report, explaining in detail the situation from Liu Xiu's dispatch of people to contact Jia Xu to the first and second battles.

Between the pen and ink, there are also a lot of suspicions and distrust of Jia Xu.

After Cao Ren finished writing, he re-examined it and found that he had brought in too many 'private' opinions, so he simply rewrote it. When I finished writing, I checked it again and found that it was still the case.

was not satisfied twice in a row, and Cao Ren simply wrote a separate letter, which was his suspicion of Jia Xu.

Then, the real battle report does not involve any emotions.

After the two letters were loaded, Cao Ren called the soldiers and ordered the soldiers to rush to Xu County immediately, hand the letters to Cao Cao, and ask Cao to decide the affairs of Nanyang County.
