After a great battle, the city of Luoyang finally had long-lost laughter and laughter. Zhong Yao waited for the generals to return to the city and hurriedly met with the Xiahou brothers. In Zhong Yao's opinion, after this battle, the morale in the city was greatly boosted, and there was a lot to be done to stick to Luoyang.
However, there was no joy on the faces of Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan. Even Zhang He was also worried. Zhong Yao was quite puzzled when he saw this. He said to the three of them: "In the previous battle, the three generals have made outstanding achievements. Now that they have returned victoriously, the three generals have made great achievements." Why don't you see any joy?"
Xiahou Dun sighed softly when he heard this and said: "Although this battle has solved Mr. Yuanchang's siege, how can Mr. Yu know that Mr. Fengxiao is in trouble now?"
When Zhong Yao heard this, he was shocked. Thinking of the huge number of troops and horses that came to Luoyang this time, Zhong Yao suddenly woke up and asked Xiahou Dun: "How many troops and horses does Xu Du have?"
"There are only more than ten thousand soldiers. When we are leaving, Mr. Fengxiao has ordered Zixiao to mobilize troops and horses from Chenliu. When the reinforcements arrive, the total number of troops and horses in Xudu city is probably less than thirty thousand" Xiahou Dun said. With tears in his eyes, he said: "Please sir, give me your general order early, and order us to have a decisive battle with the Xiliang army and horses outside the city the next day. After the victory, I, together with Miaocai, will return to Xudu to aid!"
"Yuan Chang is so incompetent that he has dragged down Mr. Fengxiao like this" Zhong Yao turned pale when he heard this, and said to Xiahou Dun: "Yuan Rang, in your opinion, if we fight again tomorrow, what are the chances of winning with the troops and horses in our city?"
There was a battle before, so how could Xiahou Dun not know that the Xiliang army and horses outside the city were just caught off guard today? Moreover, after marching in a hurry all the way, these 30,000 Cao soldiers were only supported by their morale. After a big battle, most of them were exhausted. After returning to the city, many soldiers lay down on the ground without eating and fell asleep. If we fight again tomorrow, I'm afraid we'll lose more than we win.
The majesty of the Xiliang army and horses can be regarded as letting Xiahou Dun see the world. If he said that he won today, it was purely self-consolation. Xiahou Dun knew that this chaotic battle was just an advantage that Cao's army was unprepared for. Even so, Cao's army suffered no less losses than the Xiliang army. Moreover, Xiliang's army had been waiting for work for several days, and Xiahou Dun also knew that there would be continuous battles. Nothing can be done
But when he thought that Guo Jia was alone in Xudu City, Xiahou Dun felt like a knife was cutting his heart. He sent all Xudu's fresh troops to Luoyang, but put himself in danger. Could it be that Guo Jia acted like this because he had the belief that he would die?
Even if Guo Jia has a miraculous plan. Without the dispatch of troops and horses, how can we withstand the two armies of Wancheng and Runan? Besides, Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun were both outstanding men in Jingxiang and Xiangxiang. What methods did Mr. Fengxiao have to ensure that he would not lose his promise?
Thinking of this, Xiahou Dun said with a serious face: "Yuan Chang. There will be a battle tomorrow, no matter what!"
"Zhong knows it, Zhong knows it" Zhong Yao murmured for a long time and said to Xiahou Dun: "But if it's hard to win, so what?"
"Don't worry, sir, we can win!" Xiahou Dun gritted his teeth and said, "Even if we risk our lives, we must drive Pang Tong back to Chang'an. Otherwise, if the stalemate continues like this, even if we have defended Luoyang. If Xu Du is lost, we will all I can¡¯t deal with the Prime Minister!¡±
"What Yuan Rang said is absolutely true!" Xu Chu also said after hearing this: "Everyone should know that the Prime Minister has a good relationship with Feng Xiao. If Feng Xiao fails, what face will we have when we return to Yecheng?"
Zhong Yao heard this. After thinking for a long time, he said to Xiahou Dun: "Yuan Rang, let the soldiers rest for a day and then go out to fight in the city! In short, it is Zhong who has dragged Mr. Zhong down. When he returns to Yecheng in the future, Zhong should apologize to the prime minister!"
Xiahou Dun didn't say much after hearing this. He nodded and left the government office. Xia Houyuan, Zhang He, Xu Chu and others came out one after another.
Zhong Yao looked at the empty government hall and let out a long sigh. He secretly thought that this battle was won. He was afraid that it would be difficult to talk to the Prime Minister when he returned to Xudu in the future. If he had known this, he would have lived or died with Luoyang City. , why put Mr. Fengxiao in danger again?
Outside the city of Xudu, there were beacons of smoke. When Zhuge Liang led Wancheng's troops to Xudu, he suddenly discovered that Lu Xun of Runan had arrived one step earlier
Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun met in the military tent outside the city. Seeing Huang Zhong and Lu Qiling in the tent, they couldn't help shaking their heads and laughing: "Bo Yan, are you and I really in sync with each other?"
When Lu Xun heard this, he also chuckled and said to Zhuge Liang: "We can't let Mr. Kong Ming take advantage of this alone. Guo Fengxiao has an outstanding reputation, and Lu has long wanted to meet him! Now that Xu Dubing is in decline, he is taking advantage of his illness. When it was time to kill him, Mr. Lu arrived early, please don¡¯t blame me sir!¡±
"Lu family baby, you can't defend the city in Runan properly, but you want to come to Xudu to compete with us. It makes no sense!" Guan Yu, who was behind Zhuge Liang, heard Lu Xun's teasing words and snorted: "No matter you and I Whoever is the commander, Kong Ming, in short, when attacking the city, the vanguard will belong to Guan!"
"First come, first served, why is the vanguard yours?" Huang Zhong heard this and said angrily: "Yun Chang, you have already deserved Wancheng's contribution, people must be content!"
¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right!Lu Qiling heard Huang Zhong's words and hurriedly agreed: "Guan Honglian, you and Mr. Kong Ming can just raid the formation. We have our own general and Old General Huang to attack Xudu!" "
"If you are my father, you can say such big words in front of Guan!" Upon hearing this, Guan Yu glanced at Lu Qiling with disdain and said, "How dare you compete with Guan for the vanguard position with your meager martial arts skills?"
"Yun Chang! Is it possible that I, in your eyes, have only mediocre martial arts skills?" Huang Zhong frowned slightly when he heard this.
Huang Zhong has been guarding Runan for the past three years and has gotten along well with Ling'er and Zhu Rong. Now that he heard that Guan Yu despised Lu Qiling, Huang Zhong was naturally displeased.
Guan Yu looked at Huang Zhong without giving in, and said to Huang Zhong: "I haven't fought with the old general in three years, and Guan doesn't know whether the sword in the old general's hand is as sharp as before!"
"In that case, how about a competition?" After Huang Zhong said this, he was about to leave the tent. Seeing this, Zhuge Liang hurriedly advised him: "Don't make unreasonable troubles, Mr. Yun. Don't get angry, Old General Huang. I'm the same." As officials, we should be considerate of each other, Miss Lu said first come first served, in Liang's opinion, it makes sense!"
Lu Xun couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Zhuge Liang's words. From this point of view, it was obvious that Zhuge Liang was determined to fulfill his great achievements. He immediately bowed his hands and said, "Thank you sir for giving us this great achievement!"
Zhuge Liang laughed when he heard this and said: "Bo Yan and I both studied under Mr. Shui Jing, and we can be considered brothers in the same school. This time Liang and Yun Chang arrived too late. In the battle to attack the city, Boyan did the work for him, just like Ling'er." As you said, I'll wait for the raid!"
After Zhuge Liang said that, he led Guan Yu outside the tent, obviously not disturbing Lu Xun and his generals to discuss the attack on the city. When the two of them left the tent, Guan Yu looked gloomy and said to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, how are you going to attack the city?" Such great achievements should be given to Lu Xun?"
Zhuge Liang smiled calmly after hearing this and said to Guan Yu: "Although Xu Du has few soldiers, Guo Fengxiao is not incompetent. In Liang's view, even if Boyan wants to defeat Xu Du, it will take some effort. Yun Chang still watches chess with Liang." Don't say anything. After Boyan suffers a loss, he will work with Liang to deal with Guo Jia!"
"Xu Du has few soldiers. The number of Runan's troops this time is no less than 30,000. Could it be that Kong Ming thought that Lu Xun couldn't break the city?" Guan Yu was quite surprised when he heard this, but saw Zhuge Liang confidently nodding and smiling: "Yun Chang, please wait patiently. , Liang has his own plans in mind!"
At the top of Xudu City, Guo Jia looked at the Jingxiang army and horses stationed outside the city, and the gloom lingered on his eyebrows for a long time.
Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun both arrived. Guo Jia had never thought of this situation before. Until now, Guo Jia could only secretly curse that this Jingxiang man was crazy for wanting to make meritorious deeds. Whether it was Zhuge Liang or Lu Xun, it seemed that they both I want to use his name to become famous.
Looking at the garrison at the top of the city again, Guo Jia shook his head slightly. Now in Xudu City, the soldiers were frightened, especially when the two Xiahou brothers were sent to Luoyang. The soldiers in the city had already criticized Guo Jia's orders. If it weren't for Guo Jia, With the reputation of being invincible in the past, the soldiers in the city may have disobeyed orders and fled the city.
Now the total number of soldiers and horses coming from Wancheng and Runan under the city is no less than 60,000, while the garrison in the city is only more than 10,000, and the Jingxiang people and horses are all elite soldiers and strong generals. Guo Jia has been calculating for a long time, but he has never thought of a plan. , destroying the enemy troops under the city.
What makes Guo Jia even more upset is that Cao Ren's reinforcements have still not arrived. Now Jingxiang's army and horses have arrived at the city. If Cao Ren doesn't come for reinforcements, it is better not to come, lest they be intercepted by Jingxiang's troops and lose their lives
When Guo Jia was thinking about it, a flying horse came from the Jingxiang army formation opposite and rushed to the city. Guo Jia looked sideways and saw the general bending his bow and setting an arrow, shouting loudly: "Please show me your filial piety to my military advisor." Receive the letter, sir!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow flew straight towards the pillars at the top of the city. It trembled continuously. When he saw the old general with white beard and hair riding away, Guo Jia murmured: "It's a true shooting!"
Not long after, a soldier took off the arrow. Guo Jia opened the letter on the arrow. After reading it, he couldn't help but chuckle.
As expected, Lu Xun wanted to persuade Guo Jia to surrender. He wrote a sincere letter, saying that Pang Shanmin and Guo Jia were good friends. However, God's will has caused people to be their own masters. Now it is difficult to defend Xudu. Why doesn't Guo Jia follow the trend?
"Junior is talking nonsense" Guo Jia smiled slightly, balled up the letter, threw it at his feet, and sighed softly: "If you were a mountain man, you would never do such useless work. Who is Guo? If you are not strong-willed, How could we achieve today¡¯s achievements?¡±
After thinking for a moment, Guo Jia left the city, ordered someone to get pen and ink, write a letter, and said to the messenger beside him: "Send to the enemy camp!"
After receiving the letter, the messenger did not leave. He hesitated for a long time and said, "Does the military advisor want to surrender that Jingxiang?"
"Just deliver the message!" Guo Jia heard this and scolded with a smile: "If you know Guo's plan, you should take the position of military advisor."?! It's not rude to come here Since Jing Xiang persuaded Guo to surrender, Guo should also persuade them to surrender to the prime minister! Lu Boyan was trying to persuade Guo to surrender, so Guo should take advantage of it and wait for reinforcements! "(To be continued.
