Section 125
Chapter 125
"What? The Cao army brigade has retreated? Is the news accurate?" Ji Ling jumped up from the position of commander and stared at the mouth of the spy kneeling at the lower head, for fear of letting go of any valuable news.
How did Cao's army open up the horns they face? Isn't Ji Ling bothering about the strength of Cao's army? Although Cao's army did not immediately choose Cai or one of them to encircle and attack, Ji Ling, as Yuan Shu's number one favorite general, knew deeply that Cao's army was not not attacking, but was preparing for it. Not to mention winning the battle, even if you escape unstoppable, it would be a difficult problem.
He understood the strength of Cao's armor. Compared with the straw stalks of his own bows and arrows, he also understood that many generations of outstanding generals in the Cao's army, such as Zhang Feng and Xia Houyuan, were all talented as one of the generals in a hundred, and it would be difficult for him to compete with him. Needless to say, Zhang Feng was, and Xia Houyuan's ability to grasp the timing of the battle was deeply admired by Ji Ling, who had not seen him fight with his own eyes. Huaxian defeated Zhang Kai and Jizhou rescued Zhang Feng, who only launched a fatal blow when the other party thought the situation was settled or he was powerless to turn the world back. He really did not show any mercy to his own people and the enemy.
There is nothing to be afraid of a rude general. If he has weaknesses, he is not afraid of not be able to defeat him. However, even his own people can be sacrificed as a bargaining weight for victory, but he uses it just right every time. This is the ability, not everyone who leads his troops can do it.
At least Ji Ling himself felt that he could not do it.
"When the general's words, my subordinates guaranteed their lives. The Cao army brigade had indeed withdrawn quickly and left a large amount of baggage in the camp. The brothers had already found it clear." The spy was determined and swore that Cao's army had retreated.
But Ji Ling still didn't dare to believe it all. Since Cao Cao had rarely lost his fortune since he challenged Dong, how could he leave suddenly?
The cautious Ji Ling sent several teams of spies, and they all replied that Cao's army had indeed gone far away.
This... is really gone? Chase or not?
A huge gift box was placed in front of Ji Ling. It might be the anthrax virus given by Uncle Bin Laden, or the room key of Lewinsky...
Men will think about it carefully. Although there are risks, there are also benefits!
Can't you open it?
Ji Ling now feels that his heart is as uncomfortable as being caught by a cat. He is always fighting and entangled. There is no result every time he can't make up his mind to chase him or not.
Cavalry can escape easily, but what about infantry? Cao Cao's brigade is full of infantry in heavy armor, and he can't escape even if he wants to escape, unless he throws away these thick and cumbersome armor, but is this possible?
Gripping his teeth, Ji Ling ordered that someone just send him to bring back the supplies from Cao's camp. His intuition told himself that if he pursued Cao's army, he would definitely be defeated very ugly.
It was this decision that saved his life. Zhang Feng returned without success. However, Ji Ling sent 2,500 people to transport the baggage to "inadvertently" triggered a large-scale explosion and burning of a black object in Cao's camp, and none of them were spared.
And Lu Bu, who was exactly the same as Zhang Feng's brothers and son-in-law, suddenly fell ill after receiving an ordinary letter from his family. Tao Qian, who had reached some kind of agreement with Jingzhou, made three orders in one day, but was rejected by Lu Bu's personal soldiers. "Wen Hou was seriously ill and could not be in charge of the director. The envoy asked him to come back to wait for Wen Hou to recover in the future."
Although Tao Qian was so angry that his teeth were itchy, he could not do anything. If Lu Bu's military power was removed at this time, it would be like to force him, who was already desperate, to surrender to Cao Cao. He could not fight and could not drive him, so Tao Qian felt very regretful.
Not only that, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu received commendations and official titles from the court respectively. Under Jia Xu's analysis, Zhang Xiu made a decisive decision to surrender to Cao Cao, with four gates and strictly prohibited the Jingzhou army who "borrowed the road" from entering the city.
Even though there were many strategies and strategic ideas, the only gateway to Xuchang in Jingbei was suddenly blocked. Kuai Liang had no choice but to lead the troops preparing to raid Xuchang and welcome Emperor Xian back to return in vain.
The worst thing is that Jingzhou also tasted the bitter fruits he had made with himself. Sun Ce's army, who had originally maintained a tacit understanding of each other, suddenly gave up its original route and instead attacked Lujiang County where Kuai Yue's troops were located. Under Zhou Yu's command, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue were not in harmony. Most of Lujiang, which had just occupied but had not yet been warmed up, became Sun Ce's pocket.
This is Guo Jia's plan to "use his way and return him to do his own thing" and sent someone to form an alliance with Sun Ce. The ambitious Sun Ce is of course willing to find a strong ally to restrain and attack Liu Biao, a guy with a grudge against his father.
Yuan Shu in Shouchun actually survived miraculously under the conspiracy and restraint of the four families. Yuan Shu, who was almost the same as the lonely man, shouted "God bless me."
The Yuan Mansion study was brightly lit, and the servants were coming and going to prepare tea for midnight snacks and some paper and pens. Several of Yuan Shao's great strategists were preparing the march route and combat plan in the study. Due to the return of Cao's army, Yan Liang, who had already reached Chaoge, had to drive away small groups of enemy troops who could not be killed like flies, and were also harassed again and again by attacking camps, food outlets, poisoning, setting fires, etc. The speed of the marching was slowed down sharply. Seeing that there were no large passes or cities along the way in Xuchang, it was just a matter of worrying about the harassment of the enemy that was not poor.
In addition, Wen Chou was helpless against Puyang. After fighting for a few days, he only fattened the grassland under Puyang city with his blood. Yuan Shao had to summon everyone again to discuss countermeasures.
"Lord, I think the two generals of Yan and Wen should be recalled. Cao Cao is coming back, and the war is not good." The upright Tian Feng never considered Yuan Shao's face at all. He always persuaded Yuan Shao to withdraw his troops whenever he had the chance.
As for Yuan Shao's personality of being very fond of merit, it is unrealistic to return without success as long as he speaks and sends troops. How can he live up to the face? Besides, he has sent more than 200,000 troops to send troops, and just watching Cao Cao return with only 60,000 people, he left in shame. What should I do if the world is ridiculed?
"Yuan Hao! My intention has been decided! Don't mention it again, otherwise I will punish you for your crime of confusing the public!" Yuan Shao, oppressed by the double pressure of reality and face, is almost on the verge of going wild - even if it can't be defeated by Puyang, he also knows that this city is not ordinary difficult to fight. It is both strong and material, but the hearts of the people are still very consistent. Cao Ren, who guards Puyang, is not a good person, and he guards it even more without any leakage.
When the other strategists heard this, some looked up at Tian Feng with gloating, while others sighed in a complicated expression.
A man with a black dress like a ghost was lying on the eaves, his body was lying tightly under the eaves like a raccoon cat. His two eyes were exposed to observe each person who was traveling in the dark, in order to find his own goal.
However, the Yuan Mansion is too big and no one can lurk in. I can only rely on myself to "spot" every night. It has been two days. It has been so difficult to figure out which room in the Yuan Mansion live in. The time for the mission to stay in the main bus is getting closer and closer. What should I do?
Suddenly I heard someone say directly below: "Xiaochun, the snacks prepared for the fourth young master are not ready yet? Mrs. Liu is urging me!"
A voice on the lower left replied: "Okay, okay, I'll go to the kitchen to bring it over."
The man in black was delighted, and he didn't expect that he would get it without any effort!
