Chapter 1845 Who cheated whom
Xu County.
Although it was getting late, Xun Yu was still sitting in the lobby, replying to official documents in front of the lamp. Under the hall, a row of small officials stood respectfully and waited, either waiting for Xun Yu to summon Qian Qian to answer, or waiting for the official document of approval before leaving in a hurry...
The arrival of General Hussars had a great impact on the whole of Yingchuan, even Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou and so on. Xun Yu didn''t dare to take it lightly, so he could only arrange various affairs day and night, and he was very busy.
Although it is said that Xun Yu has never fought head-to-head with General Hussars, Xun Yu has heard this name a lot these years, and he has silently calculated it in his heart, but what he didn''t expect was that even with these psychological preparations, he would When General Hussars really came, Xun Yu still felt that nothing was ready.
Xia Houyuan''s defeat undoubtedly made the whole situation worse. If Cao''s soldiers, who were already a bit timid, were defeated again, even the Qingzhou soldiers would lose their will and their will to fight in such a situation where successive battles were unfavorable. If such a scene really happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Although Xun Yu is dealing with the people''s livelihood and government affairs in his hands, his mind is still divided into the situation where he is planning a war. This battle can be said to have affected Cao Cao from top to bottom. If he wins, he can say anything. If he loses...
Thinking of the possibility of failure, Xun Yu couldn''t help but give his hand a pause, then silently collected his mood, and continued to approve the official document as if nothing had happened.
Guo Jia turned around from the corridor outside the hall. Seeing so many people waiting at a glance, he couldn''t help but frowned, then slightly arched his hands in response to the salutes and greetings of these small officials, and when he arrived at the hall, he kicked off his clogs. No matter how crooked the wooden clogs almost fell off, he went straight into the hall and looked back and forth, "Where''s Bo Ning?" 』
『Going to Runan…』
『Where is Zi Yang? 』
『The inner city. 』
『Where is Zhongde? 』
『Going to patrol the city. 』
『…』Guo Jia was speechless for a while.
『…』 Xun Yu also didn''t look up, and then he finished approving an official document and threw it to the attendant at the side. The attendant immediately held it in both hands, went to the hall, and handed it to the little official in charge of this matter. The petty official left in a hurry after bowing to him and thanking him outside the hall.
"Hi! ’Guo Jia sighed, sat down as if resigned to his fate, and said to the attendants beside him, ‘What are you doing in a daze? Get some more lights! Move a table over here! Is there any soup, take some, well, share some with these guys in the hall...』
The little official under the hall hurriedly thanked him repeatedly.
Guo Jia flicked his sleeves and ignored these little officials. On the surface, he seemed to be talking about a trivial matter, but Xun Yu understood that Guo Jia was actually expressing his gratitude, so he hurried to leave...
『What is this thing? Guo Jia took some of Xun Yu''s official documents to deal with, and just opened the first one, and shouted, "Hussars and horses trampled on Zhuanghe, causing the fields to be ruined, and I am afraid that there will be no harvest in autumn. Food for disaster relief? ! absurd! Emotional hussars went to this farm, and then deliberately trampled every Zhuanghe? 』
『It’s the manor of General Zilian...』 Without raising his head, Xun Yu pointed to the other side of his desk and said, 『I put this aside, you took it by mistake...』
『I won’t say it earlier...』 Guo Jia angrily threw the official document of Cao Hong Manor aside again, and then fished some unapproved official documents from the other side of Xun Yu’s desk.
As the night gradually darkened, all the affairs were finally dealt with. As for matters like Cao Hong Manor, Xun Yu had no way to deal with them. He had to wait for Cao Cao to come back, but if Cao Cao really came back, he might not need to deal with it.
Guo Jia rubbed his neck, and then said: "No news from Hussar?" 』
Xun Yu was silent.
『No news is good news...』 Guo Jia stood up staggeringly.
Xun Yu nodded.
Just as Guo Jia was about to go out, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps!
Guo Jia and Xun Yu looked at each other, and they both seemed to see some nervous expressions on each other''s faces!
A messenger soldier hurriedly went straight to the hall to deliver the urgent military situation of Xiahou Dun in Yangcheng. After Xun Yu checked that the wax seal code was correct, he couldn''t help but took a deep breath, and then took a paper knife to open the seal seal.
Guo Jia closed his eyes and sighed slightly, because he saw that Xun Yu''s hand was trembling a little, and he couldn''t open the seal at once, but used three knives...
『General Hussars has broken through the Yangcheng stronghold! The soldiers arrived under Yangcheng! 』
Although Xun Yu lowered his voice, the news was still like a thunderbolt, rolling and shaking in the hall, and Guo Jia couldn''t help being stunned for a few moments before he realized, "General Hussars attacked Yangcheng?" 』
Xun Yu frowned, put down Xiahou Dun''s letter, and shook his head slightly, "Not yet. General Xiahou falsely told the hussars to wait for the angel, but the hussars actually agreed...』
『? 』Guo Jia looked puzzled.
But not long after, Xun Yu and Guo Jia changed their colors almost at the same time, and couldn''t help but look at each other, as if they could see some panic in each other''s eyes, "I''m afraid General Xiahou has fallen for it!" 』
Guo Jia gritted his teeth and said, "Wen Ruo, don''t worry, I will go to Yangcheng immediately!" 』
Xun Yu pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement. On the one hand, he urgently called the guards to protect Guo Jia and rushed to Yangcheng.
Guo Jia nodded, took the customs clearance office, and rushed to Yangcheng overnight.
Xun Yu watched Guo Jia go away, stood there for a long time, finally let out a sigh, dissipated in the night wind...
…o(︶︿︶)o…
Just as Guo Jia was rushing to Yangcheng day and night, Zhang Liao was leading his men and horses, crossed Yingshui quietly, and came to the mountains on the north bank of Yingshui. This place is far away from the official road, and after Dong Zhuo''s massacre, Yangcheng has gradually been abandoned, so there are basically no mountain hunters here, let alone farmers who cultivate in the wilderness.
Actually, it is not impossible to attack Yangcheng directly, but the damage will undoubtedly be great. After all, even if the attack method of Yangcheng Shanzhai is repeated again, it may not be effective. After all, the defense system of the village gate in the cottage cannot be compared with a serious city. What''s more, Yangcheng has been under the maintenance of Xiahou Dun for many years. It is better not to take risks, and to reduce losses or reduce some losses.
But if Xiahoudun can be defeated, Wuwu will be of great significance to the entire Yuzhou battlefield. Therefore, if you want to win on the one hand, but you can''t attack by force on the other hand, you can only use tactics.
Perhaps it was because Xiahoudun failed to react, or because he was a little afraid of the power of the hussars, or for some other reason, after Xiahoudun received Feiqian''s reply, he did not secretly send scouts to investigate Feiqian''s camp, or It was simply a night attack or something, so naturally I couldn''t find the abnormality in the Feiqian camp in the first place. ,
Zhang Liao looked at his subordinates cutting branches and leaves on the edge of the mountain forest to build a triangular hut for temporary shelter, and couldn''t help sighing, "The use of hussars is really more subtle..."
Zhang Chen also sighed: "Exactly!" Exactly! 』
Zhang Liao couldn''t help laughing, and glanced at Zhang Chen, "Oh? Then tell me, where is the subtlety? 』
『…』 Zhang Chen blinked, made two uh-uh sounds, and then said, "This...surprise? Xiahou in Yangcheng would never have imagined that we would do this...』
Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "No, Xiahou will think about it sooner or later... Even if he can''t think of it, Hussar will find a way to make him think about it... But the important thing is not this... You, think about it again!" 』
Xiahoudun is not a fool, and he will definitely notice some abnormalities. After all, there are still some differences between normal camps and empty camps, so basically, an empty camp cannot be hidden for long. The point is that after Xiahoudun discovered the empty camp, what will do!
When a person tries to fool others, but finds out that he was actually fooled by others in reverse, he will feel a little bit annoyed in his heart, and once the anger begins to dominate the brain, it is not easy to calm down and think...
For Xiahoudun, once he found out that his heavily guarded hussar camp had become an empty camp, in addition to the emotional changes, he must also determine the traces of the hussars and find out where the hussars left. In that direction, did he bypass Yingshui and head towards Xu County, or did he return to Luoyang.
But what is interesting is that Fei Qian divided his troops.
One was led by Zhang Liao, bypassed Yingshui, and assumed a posture of going straight into Xuxian County, Yingchuan. On the other, Fei Qian and Zhao Yun retreated two hundred miles back, as if they were going back to Luoyang. …
If there is only one direction, Xiahou Dun is naturally easy to judge and make decisions, but there are traces in both directions, which prove that there are signs of a large number of people and horses moving, what will happen to Xiahou Dun?
Continue to ignore everything and stick to Yangcheng?
Obviously, Xiahou Dun couldn''t do this.
As Xiahoudun, the safety of Xu County is obviously more important, so Xiahoudun will probably divide his troops, one part will chase the direction of Fei Qian''s retreat, so as to determine where Fei Qian will eventually go, and the other part will follow Yingshui to trouble Zhang Liao Therefore, Xu County cannot be allowed to face the threat of a second army approaching the city.
Therefore, Xiahoudun will have a 80% or 90% chance that he will send a general with a small amount of troops to Feiqian and retreat to Luoyang. Here at Zhang Liao, they pursued along the way, trying to intercept and suppress Zhang Liao.
The final result is that Xiahou Dun left Yangcheng, left the protective shell he had built and prepared for many years, and then inadvertently, what was originally a siege battle turned into an encounter outside the city.
The place where Zhang Liao stopped to rest now was the place where he crossed the Yingshui River and moved forward for sixty miles. This sixty miles is almost the maximum distance that Xiahoudun''s infantry can march in a day.
Will Xiahou Dun suspect that he has been tricked? He might have doubted it too, but he had no choice.
And this is the subtlety of General Hussars'' strategy, making the opponent faintly feel that it may be a pit, but they still have to step in...
…(*ˉ︶ˉ*)…
Hussar General''s cavalry camp covers a wide area. Looking from the top of the city, it seems to stretch to the horizon.
Xiahou Dun stood on the top of the city gate, silent for a long time.
On the one hand, Xiahoudun felt that General Hussars would not be easily fooled, but on the other hand, Xiahoudun hoped that Generals Hussars would just fall into his trap.
And in such a contradictory moment, luck will often prevail in the end. It’s like an official’s inevitable entertainment, and it’s normal to drink a little wine. If it’s reasonable to say that you can’t drive, but you think it’s okay to drive, you end up running into something, and you can’t settle it within the time specially set aside. , then it is only natural to come out and be beaten.
The same is true for Xiahou Dun. It is normal to encounter things. The key is whether you can make things right. If you make things right, you will still be a good comrade. Can you not make things right...
One day passed.
On the first day, the hussars and horses did not seem to be affected. They should eat and sleep, walk the horses, and brush the horses. Although the distance is quite far, Xia Houdun seems to be able to hear the hussars. The laughter beside the bonfire made Xia Houdun choked up, these savage Xiliang warriors!
The next day, these Xiliang warriors seemed to be exhausted, and their voices became much quieter...
Time moves slowly, but moves forward resolutely. Even though people are pinching and staring at him, he unswervingly drags the sun to move westward a little bit, then hugs the sun across the waist, and tumbles and drags him down the mountain.
Another day goes by...
Of course, from Xiahou Dun’s point of view, nothing happened, but in the same way, nothing happened means that Xiahou Dun did nothing that day!
Xiahou Dun rubbed his numb legs, and when he was about to go down the gate tower, he suddenly froze, then turned his head to look, and immediately almost lay down on the railing of the gate tower, his eyes widened. Staring at the cavalry camp of General Hussars in the distance.
『General...General? ”The guard asked in a low voice without knowing it.
Xiahou Dun pointed to the hussar camp in the dim sky, "There! what is there ! 』
"what? ”The guard subconsciously replied blankly.
『Flying sparrows hovering! Xiahou Dun muttered, and then he gritted his teeth more and more, his brows almost stood up, "there are flying birds circling over there!" Damn it, **** it! Damn it! 』
…┻━┻︵╰(‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻…
Ling Jie threw out the last handful of corn, looked at the birds eating happily in the open space not far in front of him, then squinted at Yangcheng in the distance, and pouted slightly. Damn, there are so many of them here, why don''t you see them?
Do you want to ask a few more people to do it separately tomorrow?
But if you do that, will it be too obvious?
Damn guy, so slow...
Or…
Ling Jie was still worrying about gains and losses, and when he was planning what to do tomorrow, he suddenly saw the flames on the Chengtou Mountain in Yangcheng, and then it became a little chaotic. His heart skipped a beat and he almost didn''t stand up. Ling Jie held back his career as a scout, and after he slowly exited the hiding place, he fixed his eyes on Yangcheng. He couldn''t help being overjoyed, and then he sang a few birdsong, signaling his subordinates to follow him to evacuate...
