Chapter 135: Xiu'er's clever plan to settle the old department, losing his wife and breaking his army
Jia Xu was shocked, seeing Zhang Han rushing closer, almost immediately, and at this time, there was a noisy sound of horses' hooves behind him, and a large number of soldiers and horses rolled over.
"Reinforcements have arrived!" A deputy in the army shouted, and at the same time took the lead to converge, Jia Xu didn't want to think about it, grabbed the reins and left.
Where did he dare to stay in place, that Zhang Bochang, rumored to only say that he could fight well and be brave, but he never described in detail that he was so fierce!!
Jia Xu always thought that Zhang Han was a Confucian general, and most of them lived behind the scenes to govern states and counties, or to give advice as a strategist, and rarely involved going to the battlefield in person.
But now, he was terrified just by the sight of that resolute look!
And he is convinced in his heart that this Zhang Han will definitely kill and kill himself desperately!
Jia Xu didn't know what kind of grudge he had with him, so he could only assume that Zhang Han thought that this rebellion was his own instigation.
But the conscience of heaven and earth, I have really devoted myself to it, although I still think that Yuan Shao is better, but since it is a price to be sold, it is impossible to offend the current customer.
The Yuan family's hand can't reach here at all!
"Let's go! Go to the reinforcements! ”
Jia Xu shouted, pulled the horse's head and said to leave, not even thinking of ordering the team to rescue Zhang Xiu.
When he left, he also took most of the cavalry foot soldiers, and everyone subconsciously retreated to fight the reinforcements coming from the east gate.
Who knows, after walking for a while, the cavalry that went to converge went and returned, and they were greatly panicked, and they were driven back in a panic.
The person who came was another burly fierce man, holding a two-handed slashing sword, wearing a full-body armor, a war horse jujube red, and a fat body that was prohibitive, as if he had met another Dian Wei.
"Kill them all!"
The general gave an order, and the cavalry on both sides accelerated their attack, rushing straight to Jia Xu, and the torrents on both sides were hedged, and soon the Wancheng army was scattered to the left and right, Jia Xu couldn't avoid it, and was caught up by Zhang Han and hit the ribs with a shot, and directly knocked to the ground.
At this moment, Jia Xu only felt that the world was spinning, and he didn't know how many heavy blows he had, and a handful of old bones were about to fall apart.
Zhang Han saw Xu Chu rushing in with his troops, put away his spear and said with a smile: "How can Zhongkang enter the city?" ”
Xu Chu grinned, "Junhou, after I listened to the order, I understood that it was Zhang Xiu's deception and rebellion, so I went to monitor the camp outside the city. ”
"I saw that they really moved, so I attacked and killed with General Cao Chun, controlled all the camps, and changed into the armor of these Wancheng troops, and let some generals lead the way, and deceived the city gate."
"Good!" Zhang Han showed a look of surprise on his face, and he did not hesitate to praise at all, "Zhong Kang is good at using tactics, it seems that he will not only charge into battle, but this time it can be said that he has made a great achievement!" ”
Xu Chu scratched his head with a light smile, and said modestly: "It's not what I thought, it's the result of discussing with Hezi and them." ”
"It's not too late, is it?"
"It's not too late, it's not too late, come with me!"
Zhang Han turned his horse's head, took Xu Chu back again, and went to the avenue where the fighting was most intense, and shouted loudly: "You have all been tricked!" Zhang Xiu just took advantage of your anger and wanted to rebel against the Han court!! I knew that he was anti-minded, and I would plan it! ”
"If you surrender at this time, you can still avoid death!"
When!
As soon as the words fell, a little spread just now, and immediately someone lowered their weapons.
Then the comrades beside him immediately glared angrily, "Why do you put down your blades!" Escort the Major General to kill out! ”
"I have an old mother in my family, I can't die here!"
"Besides, this matter alone is going to be reversed, and the situation is not in our favor, how can we have the face to kill Cao Gong again!"
"Aren't we the ones who backtrack?!"
"I ......"
Most of the cronies are acting on orders, but they are not sure what is happening.
But the current situation is extremely clear, that is, it fell for Cao Jun's strategy.
Cao Jun had already arranged everything before entering the city, and had insight into Zhang Xiu's thoughts.
Moreover, this is a plan, and if they had not gone back on their word, they would not have fallen into such a difficult situation.
The commander Cao Cao, Zhang Han and Dian Wei are already first-class in the world, as well as the black-robed cavalry, and the cavalry with the style of the border fortress, their commanders are all fierce generals who are as fast as the wind and as fierce as fire.
Do you have to take so many lives in vain for this plan!?
"Don't forget, the general promised to take us alive!"
An adjutant general shouted loudly, and at the same time glanced at Zhang Xiu, who had fallen off his horse in the distance, with some resentment.
Zhang Xiu was sitting against the wall in front of a street house, and the war horse beside him was already running frantically for dozens of steps and died, the tiger's mouth in his hand was cracked, the palm was stained with blood, and the whole person was in defeat.
Several black-robed people had already put their long knives against their necks, unable to move.
As Zhang Han's words spread all over the world, like ripples, people kept putting down their blades, their eyes were very blank.
A chaotic battle in the middle of the night, at the height of the intensity, all parties had problems, and then quickly and abruptly stopped.
The whole process seems to be really like being seen through everything, it is better not to move, once you move the mind of rebellion, you will fall into the trap that has been set up a long time ago.
They went into the city as if they were hunting.
And it is a very clever hunter, as long as he sets a trap, he doesn't have to work too hard, and it seems to be difficult but he is actually waiting for the tiger wolf to fall into the trap by himself.
It was a complete defeat.
……
Cao Cao walked out of the crowd surrounded by the guards, and seeing that the situation was settled at this time, his expression was proud and steady, and he looked at Zhang Xiu in the distance rather playfully.
"Xiu'er, your move has already been seen through by us, Bo Chang and Feng Xiao are all insightful, and they have arranged soldiers and horses early."
"Even if I don't notice it, they can still play with your Wancheng soldiers and horses."
"Hehe," Zhang Han turned over and dismounted beside him, and slapped the dust on his body a few times, none of his injuries were critical, not to mention that he had just been poked with a little flesh wound.
So it's easy at this time.
He walked up to Zhang Xiu and said with a smile: "This is exactly what Xiu'er has a clever plan to settle the old department, and he lost his wife and soldiers." ”
"You!" Zhang Xiu rose up angrily, and wanted to fight with Zhang Han again in a hurry, but his body was weak.
He glared at Zhang Han angrily, and said puzzledly: "My marksmanship has just begun, and I have never been an opponent to this day, I ask myself if my martial arts can chase Lu Wenhou, why can you avoid the key point with your moves?" ”
Zhang Han smiled: "What I'm best at is also a spear. ”
My spear skills have already reached the pinnacle, how can I not tell what is a false move and where is a killing move?
Thinking of this, Zhang Han's face suddenly turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "By the way, you sent Hu Che'er to steal my spear, and you must pay for it!" ”
Zhang Xiu sighed and said honestly: "Junhou, your bright silver spear is in my office." ”
"What Bright Silver?" Zhang Han frowned, and suddenly exhaled in a rough breath, "I am a gilded tiger head gun, weighing one hundred and thirty catties, all made of extremely pure gold, which was given by His Majesty. ”
Zhang Xiu: "......"
You should be a person, can a weapon made of pure gold really be used on the battlefield?
Why don't you say it's jade?
Zhang Han saw that he didn't speak, and said angrily: "You swallowed it privately?!" The head of my gun is inlaid with three Spring and Autumn Ancient Jade! Priceless! ”
Zhang Xiu took a deep breath, but she really didn't know what to say, and fell into a long silence.
He wanted to find Hu Che'er to ask for an explanation, but he had already been killed by Dian Wei.
So I can only turn to Dian Wei for help.
Dian Wei walked to Zhang Han's side with the halberd and said, "That gun, there is also pure jade at the handle, wrapped in tribute brocade cloth, which is easy to hold." ”
"I'm a real person, to be fair, the prince of my family doesn't talk nonsense at all."
The corners of Zhang Xiu's mouth suddenly twitched, "You guys kill me!" ”
Cao Cao sneered a few times, walked over surrounded by the guards, and said in a deep voice: "Xiu'er, there are at least 30,000 people outside in these old departments of your uncle. ”
"These are the old Xiliang troops he brought all the way back then, as well as the people he accepted along the way when he came to Wancheng, they are grateful to Zhang Ji's virtue, so they are loyal."
"Zhang Xiu, you are so young and ambitious, and you want to establish a reputation, it is time to return to the Han Court."
Cao Cao's implication was very simple, he was not ready to kill Zhang Xiu, because these 30,000 people were Zhang Ji's old subordinates, and if Zhang Xiu was killed, at least half of the people could only be dismissed.
But these soldiers and horses are in the prime of life.
Although Zhang Xiu deceived and rebelled, nothing had actually happened, and he must have been panicked at this time.
Cao Cao thought for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Your soldiers and horses can be resettled in Runan with me, train troops day and night, recuperate, and I will change generals to garrison Wancheng and govern Nanyang." ”
"From now on, you will follow the generals, wear the guilt and make meritorious contributions, if you can have meritorious deeds, I will show your Majesty, and tell your uncle that the title and official position will be given to you again, Zhang Xiu, are you willing?"
Zhang Xiu was stunned at this time.
He couldn't believe what Cao Cao said, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable, but he was also a little happy.
What kind of person is this Cao Cao, who wants to set up troops to kill him, and does not hesitate to lead him to make mistakes, but he actually ...... It's about counting.
In the end, he was like a strict father, and he did not blame him angrily, but drew a way out for himself.
At this time, Dong Zhao stood up from among the strategists, walked to Cao Cao's side, leaned back slightly, bowed his hand to Zhang Xiu, and said with a smile: "Has the young general sorted out the letters left by Zhang Hussar?" ”
Zhang Xiu looked at him blankly and didn't answer, almost all of his uncle's relics were with his aunt, of course he didn't ask.
Seeing this, Dong Zhao already knew that Zhang Xiu didn't know about those letters, and as the actual "party", his smile gradually brightened, and he stood up with a look of memory.
said softly: "When I was in Chang'an, Sikong had already communicated with the hussar general, and he was the one who delivered the letter. ”
"At that time, the hussar general contributed to Cao Gong's guidance, otherwise he could not reach the hearing of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an.
"Then in the letter that the hussar general replied to Cao Gong, he was well aware of the righteousness and very solemnly informed him that he was no longer able to help the Han Dynasty, and today he only admires Cao Gong alone, so he hates to see him too late."
"There is a passage that clearly says that he wants to entrust his family and small relatives to the care of Cao Gong, if he can save his life in this troubled world, he can be regarded as living up to this life."
Zhang Xiu was stunned when she heard this, her voice trembled, she looked at Dong Zhao in disbelief, and then looked at Cao Cao, "You, what you said is true?" ”
"But lie to me!?"
Zhang Xiu hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, his handsome face was full of chagrin for a moment, and after taking a few steps, he fell in front of Cao Cao with a soft foot, and said weakly: "That is the case, why didn't Cao Gong tell me earlier!" ”
"Uncle did praise back then, Cao Mengde is a hero in the world, there should be a place for Cao Gong in the world, and the name of Cao Gong should be left in the green history!"
"It's the little nephew who is obsessed with the mind and wants to harm Cao Gong...... Thanks to Cao Gong for not giving up, he will be the liver and brain in the future, and make contributions to the Han Dynasty and Cao Gong! In order to repay the grace of not killing today! Instructive feelings! ”
Zhang Xiu bowed his head, he thought that Cao Cao only wanted the 30,000 loyal soldiers and horses, and did not intend to recruit him.
But I didn't expect that my uncle had already had dealings with Cao Cao, and they both had favors and favors, so in this way, he plotted against Cao Cao and tried to rebel, which almost made a big mistake!
Cao Cao, Dong Zhao and the others were also relieved at the moment, and they had already motioned to the guards to help people up.
In Wancheng, all the soldiers and horses of Zhang Xiu put down their swords, and the cavalry all got down from their war horses and gathered on the spacious main street.
The generals sent orders to open the city gate and welcome the Cao army and Wancheng army outside into the city.
is ready to complete the change of guard naturally, and Zhang Xiu will mobilize these old troops to train in Runan, obey Cao Gong's dispatch, and select the elite from the 30,000 soldiers and horses for him to make meritorious atonements in the future.
The Wancheng army is not poor, there are at least more than 1,000 cavalry troops, countless baggage, grain and grass for several months, and the generals and colonels also have family property to hide.
Before that, he also received funding from Liu Biao for several months, but after all, he failed to hold Wancheng as Liu Biao wished and became the northern barrier of Jingzhou.
Cao Cao and Zhang Han glanced at each other at this time, and there was a look of appreciation and approval in his eyes.
In this way, if this verse is passed safely, how can ordinary people understand the subtleties in it.
Dong Zhao wrote in front of him, he was good at wooing, clever tongue, and controlling Zhang Xiu's mind just right, this remark...... Coupled with the before and after strategies of Bochang and Fengxiao.
The Wancheng Army has undergone a fundamental change.
Before that, they were obedient to the Han court, and they acted in accordance with the edict of the Son of Heaven, which means that if they do not serve the Son of Heaven in the future, they can also go back at any time.
After all, there are already many people in this world who no longer serve the Son of Heaven as the king and secretly stand on their own.
But now, the Wancheng Army already belongs to the Cao clan!
……
On the night of the second day, the news had reached Xiangyang.
The officials of the Huang, Cai, and Kuai families in Jingzhou who served in Xiangyang immediately came to ask Liu Biao.
Among them, Cai Mao, Cai Zhong and Liu Biao are still in-laws, and they are also closer, and before the rest of the officials came, he had already gone to the inner room to meet Liu Biao.
"Lord, I said a long time ago, that Zhang Xiu is an old general of Xiliang, a wolf son, after his uncle's death, he has been pretending to cry, begging the lord to take care of him, just to be able to wait for the recruitment of the rest of the princes in Wancheng."
"And now, Cao Cao has entered Wancheng and changed the garrison of the entire city, how easy is it for us to take it back?"
"I think, the lord, you are the current emperor, why don't you take this as an identity and send a messenger to congratulate Cao Cao on the success of quelling the chaos, and then discuss letting him return Wancheng to my Jingzhou."
"In this way, Wancheng, Xinye, and Fancheng will be recovered, and Nanyang will still be in our hands."
Liu Biao sat on the couch, patted his head with annoyance, and didn't even raise his head, "Alas, I thought that this embroidery could be due to my kindness, and these soldiers and horses would be submissive to me, 30,000 loyal soldiers, and they are also veterans of many years of battle, but it's a pity." ”
"Well......" Liu Biao thought for a long time, and sighed: "It's also a good thing for the envoy to congratulate, the matter of Wancheng is confusing, and we don't know the details of the military situation before and after, so we sent someone to send military rations, raw meat, and wine to entertain Wang Shi, and inquire for me." ”
"I want to know what happened that night in Wancheng, Zhang Xiu obviously wanted to deceive the enemy and mobilize many camps that had surrendered, but in the end he was convinced and surrendered to Cao Cao."
It's unbelievable, so the military situation is just to ask clearly, and there will be more information in the future, so as not to let Cao Cao stand in Jingzhou with one foot in vain, but they are confused, and they don't even know much about the military under his command.
