Chapter 356: The Only Way to Deal with It
"This woman, my words are so vulgar, it seems that I still eat too well in Chang'an."
Zhang Fei, who returned to Tongguan, plucked his ears with his little finger, full of helplessness.
Seriously speaking, Zhang Fei has also considered Xiahou Yuan's suggestion for a long time.
And it's not wrong to say - then Lejin is also famous for his brave martial arts, wasn't he still beheaded by the old general in Xiangyang?
Besides, now that Cao's army has organized an offensive again, it is also visible to the naked eye.
According to the scouts, Huxian Hongnong Caoyang and other places west of Tongguan have become empty cities, and the people and large households have been forcibly relocated.
The previous garrisons all retreated to Dayang, Shaanxi County, relying on the Yellow River to defend it, so I know where the rest of the soldiers went.
In case this Xiahou Yuan wants to make meritorious service after returning, and then lead the troops to attack Jingbei and encounter the defense of the old general, Zhang Fei will not dare to think about that picture.
"Can I leave a name?"
"Xiahou Yuan of Qian County!"
"If you don't have a chance to fight in Hanzhong, you can also kill you in Jingbei and suffer death!"
At that time, Zhang Fei didn't know how to explain to his wife at home.
Huo Jun, who was guarding the pass, listened attentively to Xiahou Yuan's angry scolding outside the gate, shook his head and pursed his lips and smiled:
"General Xiahou is also a fierce general, and what General Yide said is quite hurtful."
Zhang Fei thought about it carefully and nodded sincerely:
"I forgot that he still has the reputation of 'five hundred miles in three days, and thousands of miles in six days'."
"But if you bump into General Huang, wouldn't it be a thousand miles...... Send a head? ”
Huo Jun can only be glad that this was fortunately not heard by Xiahou Yuan now, otherwise most likely at this moment he would not be scolding angrily, but attacking the city in a hurry.
However, thinking about the embarrassing identities between Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Fei, Huo Jun felt that he was worrying about it in vain, so he simply put it down and said:
"This Qianjian'er will return to Yizhou quickly?"
The Yizhou Army, which had previously vented its feelings of returning home, seemed a little restrained at the moment, and after entering the customs, they were also afraid when they saw the majestic soldiers.
This athlete is no longer a good pawn.
This is Huo Jun's judgment.
Seeing that the two generals were discussing the fate of themselves and others, either out of flattery or gratitude, even a few people looked at each other and said together:
"General, let me follow you to fight Cao Bing!"
They traveled all the way from Jiaxian and saw the movement of Cao Bing with their own eyes.
Although he is not a good soldier, he still has the most basic sense of smell of war, and he knows that there will be a big war now.
This is also the reason why this soldier is worried: the big war is about to start, can he really return home?
Zhang Fei scoffed at this:
"Get out, stay here and let me explain to your parents and wives?"
"And as far as you are concerned, it is still far from being under my command!"
Fan Jiang and Zhang Da behind Zhang Fei puffed out their chests at the same time, and their hearts were excited: I am also an elite soldier!
The undisguised dislike won the gratitude of the Yizhou soldiers.
The angry scolding outside Tongguan caused the Cao soldiers to look at each other.
It wasn't until the depression of the defeated and captured soldiers was exhausted that Xiahou Yuan refreshed himself and returned to the road.
Because of the relationship between Hongnong and other counties, they were not able to rest until they arrived in Shaanxi County.
Later, he simply refused the banquet in Shaanxi County, and ordered a team of elite horsemen to accompany him overnight, and it was not until the middle of the moon that Xiahou Yuan rushed to Jiaxian.
So, Cao Cao, who didn't even bother to put on his shoes, saw Xiahou Yuan, who knelt down after entering the hall.
One kowtowed and wept to ask for sin, and the other warmly held hands to comfort, so after you came and went back and forth a few times, Xiahou Yuan sat down again and told Cao Cao the details.
"Why don't you see you walking with Miaocai?" This is Cao Cao's question.
Speaking of this, Xiahou Yuan also sighed:
"Liu Bei said that when all the Yizhou soldiers return and confirm the safety of the Ma Teng family, we can return."
"I am willing to stay as a hostage."
Cao Cao was noncommittal in his clothes:
"Where's Zixu?"
Xiahou Yuan hesitated for a moment and said:
"Du Xi was diagnosed with a disease by Liu Bei's divine doctor, and now he is staying in Chang'an for diagnosis and treatment."
Cao Cao snorted.
Immediately, Xiahou Yuan took the initiative to tell what he had seen and heard when he was imprisoned in Chang'an, and halfway through the conversation, Xun You, who had heard the news, also quietly entered the hall and sat down.
This narration is completely different from what Xiahou Bazhi saw, from the miraculous ordnance under Liu Bei's command to the perfection of medical skills and the restoration of Taixue, and then to a glimpse of Liu Bei's strong strength from a thin piece of paper.
The content described is quite mixed, but in Cao Cao's view, what he sees is nothing more than the word "people's heart" in the final analysis.
But what he minded most was something else:
"Zhong Yuanchang has really voted for Liu Bei?"
If there is no Son of Heaven to return to the east, he Cao Cao will not be able to approach Yuan Shao in Hebei in a short time.
Among them, Zhong Xuan contributed a lot, and finally Xu Zhong Xiang held the festival, and supervised the Guanzhong with the consul of the lieutenant section of the service, it can be said that the situation in Yongliang is not completely erosive, and it all depends on Zhong Xuan's strength.
Just thinking about Zhong Xuan's pursuit all along, and then thinking about Xun Yu, who was sent to Shouchun in the name of contacting Jiangdong before the war this year, it doesn't seem strange.
If the Tao is the same, if the Tao is different, abandon it, stick to the original heart and do not bend the waist, what I appreciated for these two people at the beginning is probably this kind of integrity.
So Cao Cao sighed: "Why can't Zhong Yuanchang vote for Liu Bei?" ”
After lamenting the difference in the path with his old friend, Cao Cao noticed what Xiahou Yuan said about Lu Su having voted for Liu Bei, so he laughed and said:
"Lu Su didn't vote for Liu Bei, this is Sun Quan's child's lack of planning, which caused Gan Ning, the old department of Liu Biao, to be angry and do extraordinary things."
In all fairness, Xun Yuzhi's talent can be called a no-nonsense man under the fame, and Ju Shouchun can also know the situation in Jiangdong well, and according to the rumors of clues, he has guessed the internal dispute very much.
It is also because of this that Cao Cao feels a little headache when he looks at Jiangdong now.
Xun Yu thinks that if he doesn't help Jiangdong, then I'm afraid that Sun Quan will be committed to Liu Bei again sooner or later, and he is cunning and repeatedly afraid of trouble, Cao Mo and Xun You also agree very much.
In addition to the agreement, it is difficult to contain the irritability, after all, when he attacked Jingbei before, he asked Na Lu Meng to go north from Jiangxia to respond, but he was rejected without hesitation.
As a result, after besieging Jiangling for so long, the army was finally defeated, and even Xun You was difficult to figure out:
If troops were sent north from Jiangxia in February and attacked with the Ruying army, the worst case scenario would force Guan Yu to retreat and garrison on the front line of Wancheng in Xinye, Xiangyang.
Sun Cao and the two sides can form a connection in Jiangxia and eat Jingzhou on the Huyang line of Suixian County, which is better than the dilemma of having to pinch their noses to relieve Jiangdong now.
From the most unfavorable point of view, if Liu Bei destroys Sun Quan, he can be connected from the Western Regions to Yangzhou, and it will become a trend of dividing the world, which must be guarded against.
Jiangdong's reckless move led to the forced entry into Jingzhou to break its connection, which became the best countermeasure to deal with Liu Bei today.
Xun You even remembered that the lord had scolded privately more than once: short-sightedness is like a mouse, and my plan is bad.
Suppressing all kinds of thoughts, Cao Cao is now planning more of a big battle in front of him:
"The defeat of the wonderful talent must not go unpunished."
"Go to the general to retain, and go to the front line to break the enemy as an overseer."
Xiahou Yuan gave up his order, and after Cao Cao said that he was tired and wanted to rest, he hurriedly asked Xun You:
"Xun Junshi, who is the general stationed in Duyang?"
Xun You knew this well, and said unhurriedly:
"There are two generals in Duyang, one of them is Guan Ping, the son of Guan Yu, and the other is Nanyang Huang Zhong."
"This Huang Zhong has deceived General Lejin before, and General Miaocai should not be taken lightly."
Xiahou Yuan immediately remembered Zhang Fei's unscrupulous words, and for some reason his heart suddenly trembled.
A sixty-year-old veteran can still be so brave?
