Chapter Ninety-Five: The Bloody Battle Hexagram

Shanggua is Tianshui County's money and grain hoarding place, close to Weishui, Xiahou Yuan took this place as a bridgehead to attack Longyou, and the second is to take grain from the enemy, after all, nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses spent a lot of money and grain.

The third is to open up the Weishui waterway, which can use the Weishui water source to continuously transport soldiers, horses, and materials in, otherwise it is necessary to go down the debate first, and then detour along the Qishan Road in vain, which will consume people's labor.

Xiahou Yuan arrived early in the morning and set the time for the opening of the city. The guards were still unaware, and when Xiahou Yuan arrived at the bottom of the city, he realized that in the roar of the guards guarding against the enemy, Xiahou Yuan commanded Cao's army to charge, and the city gate that had just been opened was too late to close.

The soldiers and horses in the city of Shanggua were scattered, unable to concentrate, Xiahou Yuan successfully rushed into the city with a charge, Xiahou Yuan's cavalry divided the troops into several roads, drove the Han army along the street, and easily captured the grain collection place of Tianshui in Shanggua.

Checking the mountains of grain and grass, Xiahou Yuan smiled happily: "Liu Bei still wants to attack Guanzhong along Weishui, so he is here to collect grain, but unfortunately, the grain is not yours, and Liangzhou and Longyou will not be yours again at this moment!" ”

After Xiahou Yuan arranged the city defense, he sent someone to report to Cao Ren who followed.

Tianshui ruled Jicheng, Zhou Budo said in one sentence: "You can't survive, pull it out!" ”

In the wailing, the left and right generals were pulled out and beheaded, and the head commanded.

Zhou Budo said: "If you escape back to an official position above the rank of chief, all those who are not injured or slightly injured will be beheaded." Those who were seriously wounded or killed in battle were given gold and silver, and each officer was promoted to one rank, and the whole army was notified. "The men are commanded.

Zhou Budo rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "Boyo, send someone to invite General Zhao Yun to return!" ”

Jiang Wei said: "Taishou, I have assigned warnings everywhere, General Zhao Yun is responsible for inspecting the five counties, he just left Tianshui this morning, and he will be back soon." ”

Zhou Budo said: "Don't think about it, Xiahou Yuan's appearance here means that Cao's army is behind, and we must capture Shanggua within two days." Otherwise we are sinners. Boyo, you go and prepare your troops and horses first, and go out of the city to stand by. Jiang Wei took the order.

Zhou Budo said to Liang Xu again: "Liang Gongcao, after I leave, you organize the people to dig trenches, collect wood, that is, logs, tie them up, and wait for me to order them to go up." Liang Xu promised.

Zhou Budo stopped talking, thinking hard about the plan to break the hexagram, and had no clue. The hexagram is solid, and I also participate in the reinforcement, so I know it very well! Half of Zhao Yun's command were cavalry, and the siege could not rely on them.

The most elite of his county guards are the 2,000 soldiers and horses commanded by Jiang Wei (after breaking the Qiang, Liu Bei promoted Jiang Wei to lead 2,000 soldiers), and the rest are ordinary soldiers and horses. Two thousand soldiers and horses, storming the hexagram, to say something unpleasant, is the same as nothing.

Zhou Budo was bored, and took a deep breath to calm himself. Walk out of the council chamber and out of the house. Look at the streets. I shook my head hard, shook off the bad thoughts that came to me, and concentrated on thinking.

There was a sheep cry in his ears, and Zhou Budo saw that a person was driving two sheep and walking, and there was a sheepskin on his body. Zhou Budo got rid of distracting thoughts and continued to think.

Suddenly, an idea came to him, Zhou Budo caught up with the man, took off the sheepskin on his body, let a guard lie down, put the sheepskin on him and said, "You keep your head down." "The guards promised.

After Zhou Budo put it on carefully, he turned around and laughed: "There is a plan." ”

The man was still there. Zhou Budo said to the man: "Thank you for your sheepskin!" ”

Returning to the Taishou Mansion, he called Liang Qian and said, "Lord Liang, you immediately collect all the horses in the city to the east gate." ”

He said to Yin, "In one hour, I want four hundred fresh sheepskins and five hundred sheep." ”

Yin Xian said with a sad face: "Taishou, where can we find it?" ”

Zhou Budo said loudly: "Won't you take the money and shout on the street?" I didn't let you save money, I want sheepskins and sheep, hurry! The two hurried away. Zhou Budo added a sentence of East Gate Collection.

Zhou Budo came to the east gate to see Jiang Wei. Zhou Budo said to Jiang Wei: "Boyo, you immediately gather three hundred dead soldiers." Martial arts should be good! And people who are not too tall! Jiang Wei didn't ask much, and took the order on the spot. Recruit the dead.

Soon, Yin Xian drove the sheep and came with bloody sheepskins. Time is a little tight, Yin Xian also brought a butcher, and he didn't have time to peel sheep on the ground now.

Zhou Budo said: "Boyo, you let the three hundred dead soldiers, put on sheepskins, and then send a person to pretend to herd sheep to the city of Shanggua, and deceive the city gate, as long as these three hundred people can hold out for a moment, we can kill the city." ”

Jiang Wei was so smart that he understood Zhou Budo's thoughts and said, "Good plan, good plan!" Well, I'll drive the sheep! ”

Zhou Budo hurriedly went to Jiang Wei and whispered, "You can't go, it's too dangerous!" ”

Jiang Wei said: "If I don't go, how can I expect the dead to serve!" There will be a mortal heart, and the soldiers will not have the idea of stealing life. We only have one chance! I don't worry about others! ”

Zhou Budo was silent, and Jiang Wei gave up his hand to order troops. Zhou Budo shouted: "Boyo, be careful! ”

Jiang Wei paused and said, "Aren't you right behind me?" Zhou Budo nodded.

After some busyness, Zhou Budo sent five hundred people to hunt down the scouts sent by Xiahou Yuan. Jiang Wei tied the sheep to the horse and quickly came to the hexagram.

In Shanggua City, Xiahou Yuan was carefully guarded, patrolling everywhere. His subordinates came to tell him that someone was approaching the city, and Xiahou Yuan hurried to it, only to hear the laughter of the city.

Xiahou Yuan rushed over and shouted, "What are you all doing?" ”

Everyone stopped laughing, and the general at the head said, "General, there is a fool who is herding sheep and wants to enter the city." We're kidding him! ”

Xiahou Yuan scolded: "When are you still messing around!" ”

Xiahou Yuan came to the edge of the city to look, and indeed a young man drove hundreds of sheep, white flowers and flowers, and the sheep kept barking.

I only heard the young man say, "Aren't you going to buy sheep?" Hurry up and give money! I give you sheep. ”

Xiahou Yuan glanced at Cao Jun left and right, and said, "Let's go quickly!" We don't buy sheep! ”

The young man said: "You actually lied to me, wait for me to tell Taishou and the king of Hanzhong, cut off your head, you dare to play with me, you wait, now beg me I will not go!" ”

Xiahou Yuan pointed to the banner of Cao Jun next to him and said, "What kind of word is this!" ”

"I can't read, but it's certainly not Chinese characters. By the way, it doesn't seem to be a sign of this kind usually! ”

The general scolded: "You rags! I only know Liu Bei, look at it, we are King Wei's people! "If you open your bow and shoot an arrow, you will shoot.

Xiahou Yuan snatched it and said, "What are you shooting him for!" Shoot him to death, our Cao Jun is even more unpopular! ”

I saw the young man shouting while running: "Oh no, the hexagram has met a thief!" ”

Xiahou Yuan was extremely depressed, how did the people of his court become the thief army in the mouth of Longyou? The general also said quickly: "You kid run fast, or I will arrest you as a spy!" ”

Xiahou Yuan was speechless for a while, there seemed to be such a general, and the people would not like it. Xiahou Yuan shouted: "The poor people know a fart, if they can, they won't kill if they can, they can let it go, do they have no place to make it?" The people promised.

The partial general said: "General, you see that the sheep in the city are still there, it is better than us!" ”

Xiahou Yuan said strangely: "Why didn't the sheep run?" ”

In fact, Jiang Wei used straw ropes to connect the sheep together, and there were pretended sheep to pull and not run.

The general said: "Anyway, that person doesn't want it, let's rush in and kill a few to reward the brothers." We'll kill a few. Anyway, that kid won't come back, and the sheep are in the way of fighting under the city! ”

Xiahou Yuan looked at the city and said, "Send scouts to find out if there are any thieves around!" ”

The partial general sighed, and Xiahou Yuan said: "The sheep enter the city to delay time to prevent the thief army from deliberately robbing the city, this is not understood!" "I will make a promise.

The scouts soon found out that there were no thieves within five miles. After Xiahou Yuan got the report, seeing Cao Jun looking at him, Xiahou Yuan said: "Hey, my heart has softened when I am old, if you didn't think about it before!" ”

Cao Jun was overjoyed, opened the city gate, and hurriedly drove the sheep. The young man who drove the sheep was Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei did not go far, he lay on the ground and waited.

The gate of Cao Jun's city was opened, and the three hundred dead soldiers saw the opportunity and suddenly stood up, and Cao Jun, who was driving sheep, was stabbed to death before he could understand.

One person pulls out the prepared fuel and ignites it. When Jiang Wei saw it, he also lit the fire beside him.

Ten miles away, there was a slope in the distance, and Zhao Yun saw it. Zhao Yun rode out, hundreds of cavalry galloped at a very fast speed, and Zhou Budo urged the Han army to follow on horseback.

Jiang Wei took out the armor spear from the grass and rode a horse to kill. Xiahou Yuan suddenly suffered an accident, secretly scolded badly, pointed to the general who bewitched him, and said coldly: "What are you waiting for?" ”

The general hurried forward. It's just that the gate of this city is crowded by sheep, and the Han army is mixed in it, and the Cao army is constrained everywhere and can't give full play to the numerical advantage. Cao Jun sniped the Han army with a bow and arrow on the upper floor of the city, the Han army had no shield, and held a sheepskin block, and the Cao army and the Han army were killed.

In the distance, Cao's cavalry came to support. The Han army drove the sheep to slow down the cavalry impact of the Cao army, and the Cao army was condescending, and finally had the advantage, and the Han army was soon killed by 100 people.

Jiang Wei killed, saw such a scene, and shouted: "Kill the sheep and base the formation." ”

The Han army was all carefully selected by Jiang Wei, and immediately understood what Jiang Wei meant, killed hundreds of sheep, collected corpses, and the cavalry of the Cao army was not good to rush in, and the Han army took out the bow and arrow on its back and shot at the Cao army.

Xiahou Yuan shouted: "Kill the left and right gates, surround and annihilate the thief army, quickly!" ”

His men hurriedly received their orders. Xiahou Yuan said angrily: "These partial generals are really a waste, they can't adapt to the situation, and they have to wait for me to give an order!" "Xiahou Yuan said so, he ordered to guard strictly, who would dare to go out of the city!

Cao's army quickly fought out and surrounded the Han army. Jiang Wei struggled to support, the Han army was compressed in the city gate hole, fortunately there was a city gate hole, the Han army resisted the two ends, and the Cao army was useless, so he could only fight with the Han army who was more brave.

Jiang Wei shouted: "Soldiers, reinforcements will arrive soon, hold on!" Kill me! In the desperate situation, the desire of the soldiers in Longyou Land to survive was stimulated, and everyone shouted loudly and desperately.

Xiahou Yuan supervised the battle at the head of the city, and when he saw that he couldn't close the city gate for a long time, he was impatient, and walked down the city, holding a sharp blade, who dared to retreat and kill whom!

Jiang Wei quickly noticed Xiahou Yuan, and Jiang Wei called the two Han soldiers down and said, "You two are holding one leg for me." I shout, lift you, lift me! The two agreed.

Jiang Wei bit an arrow and held an arrow in his hand, calming down with a few breaths. Zhang bowed and arrowed, and said, "Ready, lift!" ”

The two of them lifted Jiang Wei and Jiang Wei shot an arrow at Xiahou Yuan, and then shot an arrow that bit it. At the head of the city, Cao Jun kept reporting that there was smoke and dust in the distance, and Xiahou Yuan was anxious.

Jiang Wei shot two arrows one after the other. Xiahou Yuan dodged the first arrow, and the second arrow came again, Xiahou Yuan lowered his head with his agile reaction, and his helmet was shot off.

Xiahou Yuan broke out in a cold sweat. I heard the city shouting again: "Oh no, general, the soldiers and horses blocking the thief army in the distance were killed by one of them." The head of the man is a white horse and a white armor. ”

Xiahou Yuan scolded: "The white horse and white armor are Zhao Yun. He took the helmet handed by his subordinates, looked at the city gate and said, "Follow me out of the city to stop Zhao Yun!" The order was to pour fire oil on the grain of the thief army, and once it could not be held, it would all be burned, leaving Liu Bei with not a grain of grain! "The men are commanded.

It's a pity that Jiang Wei didn't shoot Xiahou Yuan, and there were only more than 50 people left in the Han army's city gate, and everyone was injured and in danger.

Zhao Yun took the lead, and everywhere he went, he couldn't be threatened. Killing the Cao army outside, Zhao Yun sent 300 cavalry to enter the city to engage in battle.

Zhao Yun expected that Xiahou Yuan might come back to outflank him, and led the rest of the cavalry to wait for Xiahou Yuan outside. Sure enough, Xiahou Yuan led thousands of people to arrive.

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Don't say a thousand people, I can come and go freely for 10,000 people!" "Then wave your spear and ride your horse and kill the cavalry of the Cao army.

When Xiahou Yuan saw Zhao Yun, he had already missed three points of timidity, and now he looked at Zhao Yun as if he was more powerful than the street pavilion, and his scalp was numb.

There was dust in the distance, and Xiahou Yuan knew that he couldn't force it, so he said to the people around him: "Go, set fire to the grain!" "Men rush away!

Zhao Yun entangled more than 1,000 people in Xiahou Yuan, and Zhou Budo arrived, and the situation began to favor the Han army. Thick smoke rose from the city, and Zhou Budo slapped his forehead with his hand and sighed: "The accumulation of several years, the grain of the Northern Expedition, and the hardships of the people are all ruined!" ”

Seeing that it had been achieved, Xiahou Yuan led his troops to retreat. Zhao Yun shouted: "If you want to go, you can go, our cavalry will gather, and bite Xiahou Yuan with me!" ”

Xiahou Yuan retreated south, and Zhao Yun then pursued. Zhou Budo went into the city to save the grain. But the granary was dry, the fire was burning, and he couldn't get close at all, and Zhou Budo watched the grain and grass turn into fire.

Zhou Budo organized the surplus food to extinguish the remaining fires and pacify the people. Almost all of the grain is burned, and it is natural that the flesh hurts, and there is nothing to be done.

Zhou Budo ordered Liang Xu to transport the bundles of wood prepared by Ji County and sent Jiang Wei to dig the boulders.

Jiang Wei asked, "Taishou doesn't want me to tie the wood to the boulder to block the Weishui." ”

Zhou Budo said: "I can't hide it, exactly, I checked the grain of the Shang Hexagram, there is not much left, the Shang Hexagram can't be kept, and there is no way to keep it, I want to move all the people to Ji County, relying on the city to fight with the Cao army."

Now, what worries me the most is that Cao's army occupies Shanggua and uses Weishui to transport grain. So, Boyo, you lead two thousand soldiers and horses, plug the Weishui, so that the ships of the Cao army cannot pass, you don't have to return, the camera moves. In addition, Boyo, the plank roads of Guanlong Ancient Road were all burned down to prevent Cao Jun from coming in! ”

Jiang Wei said: "I understand, it's just that it's not easy to get out next time we attack Guanzhong!" ”

Zhou Budo sighed: "Cao Jun is menacing, let's keep Longyou first, and the rest will be discussed later!" Jiang Wei went to arrange.

Zhou Budo moved all the people of Shanggua to Ji County, and many people were unwilling to leave. In addition to the material giving, Zhou Budo also said with a hint of intimidation: "Here our Han army killed the general of the Cao army and many soldiers and horses, and the Cao army will inevitably come to retaliate, and it is likely to slaughter the city at that time."

In order not to bother you, you go to Jixian with me to hide, and you will come back when the battle is over! "The people are still unwilling, saying that they are not afraid of Cao Jun. Zhou Budo didn't care about it and ordered to be forcibly evicted as soon as possible. Recruit strong men and force them out of the city.

In the city, Zhou Budo collected oil, sulfur, thatch, saltpeter and other things, and after soaking the wooden utensils in oil, they moved them to the empty houses of the people, and placed the sulfur and other things on all sides.

Zhao Yun returned, and Cao Hong led the cavalry in pursuit. In the Shanggua City, after Zhao Yun entered the city, he saw such a scene and asked Zhou Budo: "No, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhou Budo said: "My mind moved, I thought of a plan, I don't know if it is feasible!" ”

Zhao Yun said: "Come on! ”

Zhou Budo elaborated on his thoughts. Zhao Yun said: "No, it's a good plan, but it's too ruthless." There is no doubt that the hexagram is a hundred-year-old city, how can you do this! ”

Zhou Budo said: "General Zhao, this city is still there, which is equivalent to saying that the Cao army has a material reserve close to the waterway, which is beneficial to the enemy and not conducive to me." can't keep Longyou, whether the hexagram exists or not has nothing to do with us.

Keep it, if you don't have one, you can build two! Now, the most important thing is to keep Longyou, kill and injure Cao Jun, and nothing else matters! All the people will move out, and there will be no innocent injuries. There wasn't much grain and grass left, and all of it was shipped out!

The two armies are facing each other, each relying on their own means, so there is no need to worry so much! It is necessary to reduce the chances of victory of the Cao army and reduce the flaws of our army! ”

Zhao Yun looked at Zhou Budo strangely, why is this kid so ruthless! He sighed and said, "Okay, you might as well give it a try." You can lead the troops back to Jixian County to prepare to hold on, I am in the city. ”

Zhou Budo said: "General Xie Zhao is complete!" How is the general ready to do after this is done? ”

Zhao Yundao: "I'm going to go north to the street pavilion to hold on, lest Cao Jun open up the street pavilion and attack Longyou!" ”

Zhou Budo said: "The general is really powerful!" General, please come with me, and I'll tell you about the arrangement! ”

Zhao Yun hugged his fists and said: "There is labor!" ”

Zhao Yun led 5,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, and Zhou Budo led the rest of the people to leave. Cao Hong, the pioneer of Cao Ren, set up a large camp outside the city to make equipment. The next day, Cao Ren's army attacked and surrounded Shanggua.

Xiahou Yuan sighed when he saw the hexagram, but Cao Ren comforted him with kind words! Xiahou Yuan saw that someone was holding on, and it was very strange to see the way in the city: "There is no food and grass in the Shanggua City, it is useless to hold on, and the troops will be lost in vain." ”

Cao Ren said: "Sitting in this city, you can use Weishui to transport grain. The thief army has no food, and we are just encircling and annihilating! ”

Cao Ren ordered Cao Hong to challenge, Zhao Yun appeared in the city, Cao Hong scolded Zhao Yun for going out of the city to fight, Zhao Yun said: "You wait!" ”

Cao Hong thought that Zhao Yun had agreed to come down, so he waited outside, and there was no movement until noon.

Soon the person who went brought a reply, Zhao Yun was in the city to take a cool, too hot to exert his strength, so Cao Hong waited after noon, and came to fight Cao Hong in the afternoon for three hundred rounds.

Cao Hong had no choice, so he looked at the soldiers and horses for a morning and then returned to rest. In the afternoon, Cao Hong came to look for battle again, but Zhao Yun still did not fight, but delayed, delaying until it was getting late.

Zhao Yun sent someone to tell Cao Hong that it was late, it was time to eat, he was hungry for a day, when he was full, he had a night's rest, he had strength, and he would come to fight him tomorrow morning.

Cao Hong was on fire, and he had no choice but to return. The next day, Zhao Yun still didn't fight, Cao Hong basked in the morning again, Zhao Yun appeared in the city and laughed: "Cao Hong, you are dizzy, I live in the city, how can I go out of the city and fight with you, I just play you." If you have the guts, fly up to the city and fight me!" ”

Cao Hong was so angry that he didn't wait any longer, and after scolding Zhao Yun, he raised all his troops and horses to attack the city with all his might.

Zhao Yun was waiting for Cao Hong to be angry, and the whole army attacked the city with all its might, but Cao Ren sent someone to stop it.

Cao Hong said angrily: "Zhao Yun deceived me too much! ”

Xiahou Yuan said: "Zhao Yun is a famous general, deliberately trying to provoke us to attack the city, we are short of equipment, and we will suffer huge losses!" ”

Cao Ren said: "There is no need to drag it out now, we will divide our troops into three ways." Miaocai and Zilian led 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 foot soldiers to attack Longxi County, delaying time, luring the thief army, and looking for an opportunity to engage the main force of Liu Bei's army in Liangzhou. Cao Xiu led 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack the street pavilion and attack Nan'an!

I will lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to take Tianshui, and I will be with Zhang Jaw who entered the Guanlong Ancient Road! Let Longyou completely collapse! If it goes well, I will lead the soldiers and horses to support Miaocai and Zilian to fight with the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou! "The people were ordered to go their separate ways!

Cao Ren was ready, made his equipment, and began to attack the Shanggua, and Zhao Yun resisted for three days. On the fourth day, when it was almost dark, Cao Jun was allowed to enter the city.

Cao Ren saw that the attack was so smooth and said: "The city of Shanggua is broken, and the first step of attacking Longyou is realized!" ”

Cao Ren commanded Cao's army to pursue, not giving Zhao Yun a chance to breathe. The Cao army entered the city, and the Han troops on both sides threw out wood, stones and other things, but the Cao army did not lose much, ignored it, and drove the Han army.

Zhao Yun came out of the north gate, walked into the city and began to set fire. For a while, it was like a glow in the sky, burning from the city to the outside of the city, and the energetic Cao Jun who was killing was shocked.

Zhao Yun had already prepared, and the fire to the north gate was burning in sections, and it burned when it retreated. Unlike the other three, one burn is connected from east to west.

Zhao Yun held a spear and fought out of the north gate, attacking the city Cao Jun army was in a panic, Zhao Yun took the lead and scattered Cao Jun. Cao Ren led his troops and horses to besiege him.

The Cao army, which was burned in the city, was in a hurry, and the east and west gates were blocked. When the Han army withdrew from the north gate, the fire oil prepared at the north gate was knocked over and ignited, and the ground was full of flames, and it was difficult for the Cao army to rush out. You can only go back the way you came.

Along the way, Cao Jun was burned by fire, trampled on each other, eager to survive and slash his companions to open the way, a big chaos! The wood and stones thrown by the Han army at the south gate became an obstacle to prevent the Cao army from escaping!

Cao Ren chased after Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun fought several times and got rid of it repeatedly, Cao Ren pressed forward step by step, catching up again and again.

Zhao Yun shouted: "You have the kung fu to chase me, you might as well go and save your soldiers and horses!" ”

Cao Ren laughed and said: "You don't have to trick me, get off the horse and surrender early, and protect your glory and wealth!" ”

Zhao Yun didn't pay attention to it anymore, and walked away as he retreated.

Cao Ren chased after him, and a horse galloped behind him and shouted, "General, it's not good! The whole city was burned! Thousands of our soldiers are trapped! ”

Cao Ren said: "Then go and save it!" Tell me what to do! It's too late for me to go back? When I defeat Zhao Yun, I will return naturally! ”

Zhao Yun saw that Cao Ren was determined to chase after him, and his plan to rush to the street pavilion was probably delayed. Zhao Yun said to everyone: "Come with me to Nan'an County to hide, and then see what to do according to the situation!" The Han army promised.

Zhao Yun had 4,000 soldiers and horses when he retreated, and when he fought with Cao Ren along the way and retreated into Nan'an, only 1,000 cavalry remained.

Cao Ren saw Zhao Yun retreating into the city and said with a smile: "Zhao Yun's troops and horses, no matter where they retreat, it will not be beneficial for our next siege. The only way to do this is to take advantage of the field battle and kill it. Come on, go to the street pavilion and ask Wen Lie, has the street pavilion taken down! took down the street pavilion and took Nan'an County with Yu Ban! "His men were ordered to go north.

Cao Ren didn't want to waste time in Nan'an, Tianshui was the most important thing in the five counties of Longyou. Cao Ren left 3,000 soldiers and horses to monitor Nan'an, returned to Shanggua by himself, and entered the siege of Ji County.

On the way back, Cao Ren kept receiving the tragic situation of Shanggua City! When I came to the city, I was silent when I looked at the burning Shanggua City, which was completely destroyed, and the embers were still there, emitting black smoke.

His subordinate generals came to report: "General, we have been burned to death by more than 3,000 people, and more than 5,000 people have been burned and slashed!" ”

Cao Ren scolded: "Zhao Yun is so hateful! Isn't he afraid of being infamous by his back! Come, preach to me everywhere that the thieves don't care whether the people live or die, and set fire to the city. ”

After a pause, Cao Ren said: "Slash? Just now you said slashing, is there a thief in the city? ”

The partial general said: "There is no thief army, our people cut down the people who are blocking the road in front of them in order to escape for their lives!" That's how many deaths and injuries were caused! ”

Cao Ren felt aggrieved in his heart, his casualties were no lighter than Zhao Yun's. Cao Ren said: "Go check!" Whoever kills his own people is beheaded, this precedent cannot be set, no matter what the circumstances!

You are here to prepare to answer Zhang Jaw, and I will go to besiege Ji County! When Jaw Opens arrives, ask him to come to my aid! "The general commanded.

Cao Renbing besieged Ji County.
