Chapter 134: Dilemma
Cheng Gongying did underestimate Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin, but he didn't expect that the two would lead the troops to the south first, and then turn to the west, so that they could avoid Zhang He's ambush and avoid encountering Xu Sheng and Guan Cheng in the west.
Cheng Gongying thought about it and praised with a smile on his face: "Xiahou Yuanguo lives up to the word of genius, and he does have some ability, but with my degree, it is false to lead the troops to the west, and it is true to attract the ambush soldiers to pursue!" ”
Koji Yi was taken aback after hearing this, and hurriedly replied: "In this way, send someone to tell Jun Yi as soon as possible that you must not lead the troops to pursue!" ”
Cheng Gongying smiled after hearing this: "Don't worry, general, you are a great talent, how can you not know this reason, besides, Lu Dai Fan Fang has led the troops to converge, and it will be foolproof, unless Xiahou Yuan's strong man breaks his wrist and escapes Mount Tai and leaves, otherwise he will be defeated by our army!" ”
Lu Yi was relieved after hearing this, and then replied: "Xiahou Yuan is happy, all Cao Cao's arms, if you can cut it, you can still go to Cao Cao's arm!" ”
Cheng Gongying shook his head and sighed: "Although these two people were defeated, they still have nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses under their command, and their strength is also good. ”
How did Lu Yi not know the difficulty of killing the two, and sighed in his heart that Cao Cao had a good life, not to mention a group of foreign generals, only to say that the people of Cao Cao's clan were also handsome.
Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Cao Zhen, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, and the Cao juniors who rose in the later period, the Xiahou juniors, are really talented, which makes people envious and even jealous, and hatred is not yet talked about, after all, you are just its masters!
Lu Yi sighed a little in his heart, and then asked Cheng Gongying to go down to deal with the affairs in the city.
With the growth of strength and the increase of territory, Koji Yi found that the people available in his hands were gradually insufficient, and the generals were better to say, mainly civilian officials who could handle internal affairs.
In terms of civil officials, there are only Cheng Gongying, Cui Lin and Sun Qian, who are full of subordinates.
Thinking of this, Lu Yi squinted and smiled, and said lightly: "Xuzhou I am determined to win, don't say Cao Cao, even if the king of heaven Laozi is in the way!" ”
……
Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin led thousands of men and horses to quickly flee westward, and the scout caught up with him as he was walking: "Report to General Xiahou, there are a large number of enemy soldiers chasing after you in the rear!" ”
After hearing this, Xiahou Yuan asked loudly, "Do you know who is the leader of the troops?" ”
Xiahou Yuan was not surprised by the chasing soldiers, after all, it had been expected, and it mainly depended on who the generals who were chasing the soldiers were.
The scout shook his head and replied, "It's too dark, I really don't know who is leading the troops!" ”
"Probe!"
"No!"
Xiahou Yuan also knew that he was trapped in the dark night, and the scout really couldn't find out the details, so he said to Le Jin: "Now I don't know who the leader is, the two of us can only learn a lot!" ”
Le Jin understood what Xiahou Yuan meant, and immediately agreed: "Everything is decided by the general!" ”
Xiahou Yuan replied: "In this case, the army immediately turned south, just in case, I led the troops to open the way in front, and Wen Qian pressed the formation in the rear, how about it?" ”
"Good!"
Seeing that Le Jin agreed, Xiahou Yuan immediately stopped the army, and then ordered: "The whole army is rushing south, heading straight to Tan County!" Then he rushed south.
Le Jin turned his horse's head and ran straight to the rear army to prevent the enemy from chasing after him.
Tai Shi Ci and Xu Sheng took charge of the three of them, led the troops to pursue all the way, and overlooked the Malay newspaper, saying that Cao Jun turned south again.
Xu Sheng said angrily after listening to it on the side: "Xiahou Yuan's husband, he has no guts, if he is bumped into by me, he will be killed with his own hands to relieve my hatred!" ”
Tai Shi Ci didn't reply, thought for a moment in his heart, and then ordered: "The army can slow down and follow the pursuit!" ”
When Xu Sheng heard Tai Shici's order to slow down, he was puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Why did Ziyi slow down, if so, wouldn't it make Cao Jun escape?" ”
Tai Shi Ci smiled slightly after hearing this: "Wen Xiang, don't panic, there are people in the south who are in the south and the Duke of Ding is intercepted, how can Xiahou Yuan and the others easily escape, if the color is getting brighter today, the soldiers have been chasing all night, and the people are sleepy and tired, when you slow down, replenish some water and dry food, so as to recover your strength, and then there will be a fierce battle." ”
Xu Sheng patted his forehead after hearing this, and replied: "But I forgot about it, I was anxious!" ”
Seeing that Xu Sheng understood, Tai Shici immediately ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot, drink some water, eat some dry food, and rest for about a quarter of an hour, and then led the troops to pursue again.
The night receded, the sun rose in the east, Xiahou Yuan led the troops to march in a hurry all night, he was already exhausted, looked around and saw that the road ahead was narrower, he was suspicious, and ordered loudly: "The army is slow, be careful of ambushes!" ”
As soon as the words fell, suddenly there was a sound of earth-shattering shouting and killing in the forests on both sides, and then countless figures emerged.
The soldiers of the Cao army were chased and killed all night, and they were like frightened birds, and suddenly saw so many ambush soldiers killed, they were all frightened, their eyes were panicked, and they didn't know what to do.
Seeing this scene, Xiahou Yuan hated it in his heart, fearing that the soldiers would mutiny, so he hurriedly shouted: "There are few enemy soldiers, don't panic the whole army, be on alert quickly!" ”
The courage of the soldiers, Xiahou Yuan has a very high prestige in the hearts of the Cao soldiers, and when he heard his shouting, his panicked mood calmed down a little, but his eyes were still full of fear.
Zhang He looked at Xiahou Yuan, smiled slightly, carried a big knife in his hand, lightly urged the war horse to step forward, and shouted at Xiahou Yuan: "You have already won the plan of the general of our family, and now the road back is broken, and it is difficult to escape, if you don't give up your weapons and surrender, when will you wait?" ”
Xiahou Yuan knew that Zhang He was deliberately demoralizing his own soldiers, so he deliberately laughed loudly, and then replied loudly: "You are an unknown person, and you really don't know how thick the sky is!"
Our army is a soldier of a hundred battles, and his courage is abnormal, how can he be afraid of you and other grass soldiers? ”
When the two were fighting wit, Le Jin also came from behind, saw the situation clearly before the battle, and said to Xiahou Yuan: "Zhang Henai deliberately delayed, waiting for the rear to chase the soldiers, the general should not be entangled with it, the two of us should quickly lead the troops to rush out, if the rear pursuers arrive, two attacks, we are in danger!" ”
Xiahou Yuan also knew that the situation was urgent, and immediately waved the big knife in his hand and ordered: "There is an interception in front, and there are chasing soldiers in the back, if you don't fight to the death, the whole army will be annihilated, and you will kill with me!" ”
Le Jin also shouted: "The enemy army is all thieves and soldiers, don't be afraid, kill!" After speaking, he followed closely behind Xiahou Yuan and led the troops to rush out.
Zhang He saw Cao Bing charging, smiled slightly, and also waved the big knife in his hand and ordered the charge.
The ambush place here is specially selected by Zhang He, not to mention the narrow road, but also an uphill trend, Zhang He led the troops to occupy the slope, and the Cao army belonged to the upward attack from the slope, and the geographical advantage was lost.
The two sides were very close, and they rushed together in an instant, although the number of Cao's army was far greater than that of Zhang He, but due to the limited terrain, they could not fully engage in battle, so the advantage of numbers no longer existed.
