Chapter 2004 Outside Yuyang City, Xiahou is sleepy


    Outside Yuyang City.


    The two sides lined up with majestic momentum, as if a fierce battle was about to break out.


    Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Yun who was standing in formation opposite him, and shook his head slightly, "Sure enough, as Zhong Da expected, it can be said that he has predicted things like a god..."


    『The general is too famous. 』Although Sima Yi said so, there was a hint of complacency on his face. After all, Sima Yi is not very old now. Even though he is intelligent, he has not cultivated to the point where he can be flattered or humiliated if he is sophisticated.


    Sometimes, the goal is too heavy, but it is a huge flaw.


    Cao Chun''s purpose is undoubtedly to keep Yuyang, so when faced with Zhao Yun Sima Yi''s soldiers and horses approaching, it is even more impossible to leave Yuyang and go out of the city to fight, so the only one who can fight here is Zhang He.


    『I''m sorry to bother you, general...』Sima Yi looked at the flag of the "Zhang family" in the distance, smiled, and said to Zhao Yungong.


    Zhao Yun nodded, and led a group of soldiers forward. Immediately, a soldier stepped forward, rushed to Zhang Xi''s formation, and shouted loudly: "General Pingbei called General Ning Guozhong Lang to question him!" 』


    As soon as these words came out, the hearts of Cao Chun and Zhang Yun jumped up and down Yuyang City.


    General Pingbei is General Zhao Yun, and General Ningguo Zhonglang naturally belongs to Zhang He, but this General Ningguo Zhonglang was not awarded by Cao Cao, but by Yuan Shao.


    After Zhang He surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao awarded Zhang He the position of "Partial General", which can be regarded as a fifth-rank permanent general. Compared with Yuan Shao''s previous "Ningguo Zhonglang General", the book is naturally higher, and the Chinese appellation is naturally natural. Whether it is high or not, it is low, but at the moment, Zhao Yun called Zhang Yun "Ning Guozhong Lang Jiang", and the meaning behind this is somewhat remarkable.


    From a good point of view, Zhao Yun can say that he doesn’t know Zhang He’s new title. After all, this is the actual situation of communication in the Han Dynasty, but from another point of view, does Zhao Yun really not know?


    Cao Chun clasped Yuyang''s wall tightly with his hands, as if he was about to pull off a piece of green brick on the wall with his bare hands, and fixed his eyes on Zhang He who was under the city.


    Zhang He''s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn''t help but think of Lin Zongzong who was under Yuan Shao back then. That period of time can be said to be Zhang He''s happiest time. Because at that time, Zhang He was still innocent.


    Ningguo Zhonglang will be the post that Yuan Shao obtained after defeating Gongsun Zan and rewarding his generals, Zhang He.


    Not long after, the Qu Yi thing happened...


    Zhang Yun suddenly woke up from his memory, trembling all over, and shouted loudly: "The soldiers are in front, why do you need to ask and answer!" Just fight! 』Are you kidding, if you really come out and answer, I''m afraid you are looking for death!


    Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows, then waved his hand again, and then another soldier stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Nian Ning Guo Zhonglang has made great achievements in protecting the country in the past, let''s stop fighting today!" Afterwards, the order was issued, the rear army became the front army, Ming Jin withdrew the troops, and slowly retreated.


    What is this for?


    Stop fighting again?


    Cao Chun stared wide-eyed, confused by the sudden change of situation, staring at Zhao Yun who was gradually withdrawing, and then lowered his head at Zhang Yun who was standing in front of the city, not knowing what to say or do for a moment.


    Didn''t Zhang Xi''s subordinates gather some Xianbei troops? These Xianbei were chased and killed by Zhao Yun and others before, and now they saw Zhao Yun making a comeback and were forced to fight in formation. They were trembling and flustered, and suddenly saw Zhao Yun unexpectedly Withdrew the troops, although I didn''t understand what happened, but subconsciously felt that on the one hand, I didn''t have to fight.


    Ever since, these Xianbei people raised their swords and guns, shouted and screamed, excited, as if they had really won a victory, and some Xianbei people even expressed their admiration to Zhang Xi He thought it was Zhang Yun''s ability to make Zhao Yun and others retreat without a fight.


    Zhang Yun didn''t want to fight at first, so he didn''t want to break the rules of the battlefield and pursue the pursuit without morality, so he immediately ordered his troops to withdraw to the camp...


    A fierce battle was about to start, and then it ended like this?


    Cao Chun was at the gate tower of Yuyang City, and it was as if a pot of paste had been poured into his mind. Even if Cao Chun desperately wanted to fish for it, he couldn''t grasp any clues at all.


    What the **** is going on here?


    Is there something I have overlooked?


    Cao Chun stared at Zhang He, and then saw that Zhang He seemed to have noticed something, and turned around to meet his gaze. The relationship between the two of them seemed to freeze for a moment, and they turned their heads to the side at the same time.


    『Send the order down! Take precautions! Without a certain order, no one is allowed to open the city! ’ Cao Chun ordered. Their own reinforcements are coming soon, Zhao Yun and others can delay as long as they want, even if Zhang Xi has the heart of rebellion, they will not be able to turn the sky!


    Cao Chun''s unusually "calm" approach surprised Sima Yi.


    Sima Yi originally expected that Zhang He and Cao Chun should start to fall in love and kill each other now. At least Cao Chun would confiscate Zhang He''s military power first for the sake of safety, or directly put him under house arrest...


    In this way, the conflict between the Cao family and the old officials of the Yuan family in Jizhou became more acute, and it was also conducive to the follow-up of Sima Yi''s next plan, but he did not expect Cao Chun to do nothing, which made Sima Yi He was somewhat worried, wondering if there was some loophole in his plan, so he started to deduce it again.


    Through the events that happened in Ye City reported by Wen County, Sima Yi was keenly aware of a turbulent undercurrent in Jizhou since Cao Cao entered Ye City. The city, I''m afraid it has already rolled up and spread to all directions.


    Among them, Sima Yi felt that if General Hussars did not stretch out his hands and feet to stir up trouble, Sima Yi would not believe it, and more importantly, if Jizhou was uneasy, Youzhou would be difficult to calm down, and if Youzhou fell, Jizhou would also be difficult to stabilize. Therefore, if General Hussars wants to attack Jizhou in the future, he must first start from the corner of Youzhou, which is in line with General Hussars'' usual habits.


    So when Sima Yi learned that Zhang He was bold enough to go forward to recruit Xianbei troops in an attempt to strengthen Youzhou''s power, he immediately revised his plan and included Zhang He''s new move in the plan to see if he could catch some big fish...


    Just like Yecheng was uneasy, these old officials of the Yuan family were also uneasy. Normally, in order to appease the old ministers of the Yuan family, Cao Cao had to give some sweetness to these old and young people in Jizhou to express their gratitude, but the problem is that Cao Cao has almost nothing on hand now, and he can''t give anything.


    Therefore, when Yuan Shao was alive and now, there is almost no difference between the gentry in Jizhou, or even worse, and this problem is naturally the root cause.


    If Cao Cao can recuperate for two years, and then exempt from taxes or something to appease the locals, it is impossible to say that these Jizhou gentry will gradually fall to Cao Cao, so Sima Yi''s revised goal of attacking Youzhou has also spread to the entire Jizhou, before the military action. , first disrupted Cao Cao''s entire rhythm, making the original bad situation in Jizhou continue to deteriorate.


    With such a high-level goal, Sima Yi only needs to lure Cao Chun to do any unfair behavior towards Zhang He, because in that case, it will not be the matter of Cao Chun and Zhang He, and they will inevitably be implicated. In the end, new waves rolled over.


    Then why didn''t Cao Chun act?


    Is it because Cao Chun saw it through?


    Or maybe Ju Shou went all out, admonishing him with death?


    Or is it because I have gone too far on my side, so that I am self-defeating?


    What Sima Yi never imagined was that his guess was completely wrong, just because Cao Chun knew that Xia Houyuan was coming.


    Cao Chun is obviously not smart enough, and from a certain point of view, he is not the kind of person who is brave enough to do things, dare to stand up and turn the tide when the storm is on the cusp, otherwise he would not have entered Yuzhou under Hussar General Fei At that time, seeing that the situation was not good, he led the army to retreat...


    The key point is that Cao Chun''s retreat at that time, on the one hand, did preserve his strength, which gave Cao Cao and Fei Qian more bargaining chips when they met, but on the other hand, the retreat would be praised, so naturally in Cao Chun''s heart Then he won''t feel that he must resist to the death to prove Cao''s bravery.


    So now, Cao Chun showed that he didn''t dare to fight, and on the other hand, he also showed that he didn''t dare to take responsibility, and he didn''t even dare to confront Zhang Yun head-on, uh, to confront Zhang Xi to determine the truth of the incident, and only wanted to take responsibility Push it to Xia Houyuan, because Cao Chun knew that Xia Houyuan''s violent temper would definitely be unbearable...


    Sure enough, the second day after Xia Houyuan arrived in Yuyang, he rushed straight to Zhang He''s camp. The guard at the gate of Zhang He''s camp wanted to stop him, but Xia Houyuan shot him over, and then rode his horse straight into the central army and broke into Zhang He''s tent.


    Zhang He stood up slowly, stretched out his hand to stop the movement of his guards.


    『Son Zhang, you can be convicted! Xia Houyuan pointed his halberd at Zhang He, "You have communicated with foreign enemies and plotted rebellion, you should be punished for your crime!" 』


    Zhang He stared at Xia Houyuan coldly: "If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it!" 』


    『Bold! ”Three sentences and two sentences couldn’t get the same thing, Xia Houyuan didn’t bother to continue arguing with Zhang He, the ghost knew if Zhang He was using this time to arrange some kind of conspiracy, so he simply pointed with his finger, “A certain lord’s order, arrest the rebels.” Thief Zhang He! Take it for me! 』


    『Wait a minute! ” Zhang He asked, “Since there is an order from Sikong, why not announce it to the public? ! 』


    Xia Houyuan had Cao Cao''s order in his hand, but he just felt that Cao Chun''s matter was careless and unsatisfactory, so as soon as he came up, he wanted to take Zhang Yun''s hand. Seeing that Zhang Yun dared to question him, he was furious. Ask your subordinates to arrest Zhang He immediately, and push Zhang He out of the gate to ask for execution.


    Cao Chun, who has been paying attention here, was startled when he heard the news of Xia Houyuan''s move, and quickly sent someone down to say that Zhang Yun is a general in the army and cannot execute Yunyun without authorization, but he did not say that he would protect Zhang Yun. In the end, it was Xia Houyuan who sang bad faces and Cao Chun who sang red faces, and Zhang He was dismissed from his duties, and he was temporarily detained in the rear army''s heavy camp as a crime, waiting to be dealt with after the war.


    Xia Houyuan didn''t mention Zhang He''s strength outside the city since he went to organize and consolidate the troops outside the city, but Cao Chun in the city couldn''t help but heaved a sigh of relief. On the one hand, what happened to Zhang He was not done by Cao Chun, but by Xia Houyuan. If Zhang He was wronged, he wouldn’t hit him with a stick. On the other hand, Yuyang is now under control. With Cao Chun himself in the city and Xiahouyuan outside the city, plus the Yuyang city defense, the internal and external stability is stable, so it is natural to fight.


    Xia Houyuan came too fast, after all, there was some general bonus, so before Sima Yi could react, Zhang He was dealt with.


    "It''s really... tsk tsk..." Sima Yi showed some regretful expressions, "It''s a pity that he couldn''t disrupt the army..." But that''s okay, Sima Yi has even thought about how to add fuel and jealousy to publicize Xia Houyuan''s evil deeds in Jizhou , to draw some bricks to Cao Cao''s great cause, add fire...


    Zhao Yun didn''t feel that there was anything to regret, and said very calmly: "The intention of hunting Zhang is incidental." The most important thing is still Yuyang...Since Liaodong has sent troops, it will come here sooner or later...』


    Sima Yi cupped his hands and said: "According to the time, the Fuyu people must have arrived in Liaodong, and news will come soon..."


    Fuyu country is in the north of Goguryeo, and like Goguryeo, it is the target of oppression by the Liaodong regime Gongsundu. During the previous trade with Liaodong, Zhao Yun and Sima Yi had secretly dispatched a lot of soldiers dressed as businessmen to protect civilian husbands and so on, sneaked into it, waited for Gongsundu to leave his lair, and then made trouble with the people of Fuyu...


    Therefore, even though Yuyang has received reinforcements, it is also expected by Zhao Yun and Sima Yi, and it is very important that until now, Cao Chun''s side has unknowingly played all the cards that can be played on the table. The case is over, and Zhao Yun and Sima Yi still have a few cards hidden under their buttocks.


    However, no matter whether it is Zhao Yun or Sima Yi, or Cao Chun and Xia Houyuan, no one thought that the new changes in Yuyang would happen to a small soldier...


    Money is honest.


    Qian Laoshi is an honest person, and honest people often admit death.


    Qian Laoshi has been with Zhang Yun for a long time. When he came here to transport food with Zhang Yun, he was hit by an arrow during the investigation and was seriously injured. It looked like a bad luck, but he didn''t expect that maybe Tian Han wore too many clothes. Lived in the arrow, or maybe Qian honestly should not die. After arriving in Yuyang, he recovered from his wounds in the supply camp, and he came back alive.


    Xia Houyuan was a newcomer, and on the same day, Thunderbolt took down Zhang Yun. He felt triumphantly that he had slapped Cao Chun in the face, but unexpectedly, his own behavior was already in Cao Chun''s calculations. In order to deal with Zhang Yun, Xia Houyuan Cao Chun couldn''t stop arguing, and finally Cao Chun ordered Zhang Xi to be taken into custody, and he was naturally locked up in the supply camp.


    If Zhang Yun received it in the city, Cao Chun would have to be involved to some extent, but since he is still outside the city, then naturally the whole thing is about Xia Houyuan...


    The supply battalion not only manages food, grass and livestock, takes care of the wounded, but is also responsible for temporarily detaining some military academies who made mistakes. When Yuan Shao imprisoned Tian Feng, he was also detained in the military supply battalion.


    When the old and the new were handed over, people''s hearts were fluctuating, and it was inevitable that they were not careful enough. All the guards around Zhang Yun were arrested at the same time, except for Qian Honest, who was mixed with the wounded to recuperate.


    When Qian Laoshi saw that Zhang He was **** and detained by Wuhua Da, he was shocked, and then he secretly asked someone to inquire about it, and felt that Zhang He was in danger...


    When the master dies, the guards also go to the underworld together. If Zhang He was beheaded in the end, then Zhang He''s guards would also end badly.


    Unless Mr. Qian sneaked out of the camp and fled before anyone thought of him. But Yuyang was in the middle of the battlefield, surrounded by scouts from both sides, even if Qian Laoshi could really escape from the camp, how could he escape from these scouts?


    So, at the end of the day, there was no one to negotiate with, so honestly, a decision was made. He felt that since Zhang He didn''t throw him directly on the battlefield when he was injured and brought him back for medical treatment, then he has no reason to leave Zhang He alone and escape alone now.


    He wants to save Zhang He.


    As for whether to escape together after saving Zhang He, or to subdue the law voluntarily, Qian honestly couldn’t think so much, he just felt that this life should be returned to Zhang He.


    But only relying on Qian honestly alone, and his injuries are not healed, naturally there is no way to do this. Therefore, Qian honestly found Xianbei people when he was late and when the soldiers came and went chaotically...


    Because in the entire camp, Qian Laoshi has no other options.


    The Xianbei people recruited by Zhang Yun were actually in chaos and anxiety at this time.


    Xianbei people don''t have any concept of "Tanshihuai Co-prosperity Sphere", and they don''t have any vision of "Great Xianbei Emirate". In the hearts of ordinary Xianbei people, the tribe is the first. Attaching to another strong man so that one''s own tribe can survive is also the most reasonable thing on the grassland.


    From another point of view, the Han people are relatively strong now, and the Han people on the other side are obviously the enemy, so using the Han people here to fight against the Han people in the west and protect themselves is the only effective way that the little bosses of Xianbei can think of. It''s a plan.


    Then in a blink of an eye, Zhang Yun, whom these Xianbei people relied on and expected, was arrested, and replaced by a Xiahouyuan whom they had hardly heard of before?


    Can this guy do it?


    What if it fails?


    At least when Zhang Yun confronted Zhao Yun a few days ago, he managed to push back the Han people in the west without sending out a single soldier, didn’t he? Could this newcomer Xia Houyuan be as capable as Zhang Yun? The Xianbei people didn''t know what a divorce was, and they didn''t know why Zhao Yun retreated. They only saw that Zhao Yun retreated as soon as Zhang Yun came out. No matter what the reason was, they saw it with their own eyes. Could it be fake?


    So the Xianbei people came to a vague conclusion that Zhang He is better than Zhao Yun. If anyone had more hope of defeating the Han people in the west, they would naturally be more willing to vote for Zhang Yun than the newcomer Xia Houyuan. Of course, this is just the feeling in the hearts of these Xianbei people. Given that they are also very confused about the future, even if Xia Houyuan is replaced as commander-in-chief, these Xianbei people may not make any drastic actions immediately, but will It will only explode when Xia Houyuan''s performance on the battlefield is really unsatisfactory.


    So normally, even if Qian honestly went to find them now, these Xianbei people would not react too violently, just like two inert compounds, even if they are fused together and squeezed hard, it may not be too strong. Immediately it will spray sparks and explode.


    Unless it is, some catalyst appears...
