Han Shimou

Chapter 773 Cao Ren was defeated and went to Fancheng

Pan Feng went straight to the front of the village. Jia Xu was about to ask the bow and crossbowmen in the village to shoot arrows to block it. At this time, Zhuge Liang's military order came, and Pan Feng and other generals retreated one after another. Cao Bing lost a lot, with more than 2,000 people. Cao Ren saw that although the army's strength was small, his ability was superior to his own army. He thought that the situation was not good, so he was temporarily closed.

Seeing that Cao Ren couldn't stand it, Xu Chu was full of anger and came to see Cao Ren and asked.

"Captain! The other army has only 5,000 soldiers and horses, and its strength is far less than that of our army. As long as our army attacks together, it can be broken in one fell swoop! Why did the governor close the village door instead!!!?"

Cao Ren was speechless by Xu Chu, and the generals under the account also had a lot of fear, and there was no reverence. Jia Xu, who was originally deeply frowned, became relieved because of Xu Chu's drink.

"Huhou's words should be like a blow to the head! The strength of the two armies is very different. Even if Zhuge Liang has great ability, it is difficult to make up for it. I really thought of Zhuge Liang too much, so I was afraid and hesitated step by step. There is no reason to be undefeated! Governor, what the tiger marquis said is very true. We should take advantage of the situation to pursue and no longer delay!"

As soon as Jia Xu said this, Cao Ren realized that he immediately thanked Xu Chu and ordered all the generals and soldiers to prepare their troops and horses tomorrow. They attacked the other military camp together, broke through the village in one fell swoop, and then stopped! The generals were also aroused by Xu Chu's fighting spirit. They shouted loudly and took orders one after another to order their respective deployments.

The next day, 30,000 Cao troops rushed to Liu's camp like a torrent of waves. Unexpectedly, when Xu Chu rushed into the camp, he found that there was nothing in the camp. It turned out that Zhuge Liang had already ordered his soldiers and horses to retreat back to Xinye last night. So Cao Jun occupied his village, and Cao Ren regretted it when he learned about it.

At night, Cao Ren frowned and his face was full of confusion. He fought nearly a hundred battles in his life, large and small, and had never tried such a strange situation in front of him. Every move, every strategy and every choice of the self-army seems to be in the expectation of the other army. The so-called knowledge of the other is invincible in a hundred battles. The other army seems to know all the generals and counselors of the army. On the contrary, Cao Ren knows very little about Zhuge Liang. The only thing he can know is that this person is more intelligent than demons and is slightly extraordinary. Therefore, since Cao Ren, all the generals and counselors in the army have been extremely cautious about the other army, for fear of being tricked by Zhuge Liang.

At this moment, Jia Xu stepped over, and his eyes were extremely bright. Seeing this, Cao Ren seemed to guess that Jia Xu had noticed Zhuge Liang's plan. He couldn't help but be happy and quickly got up and asked.

"Can the military division find out!?"

Jia Xu nodded solemnly and bowed his hand and said.

"Today, I visited this village and found that there was no trace of a heavy convoy driving in the village. In this way, Zhuge Liang had no intention of fighting with our army here from the beginning, and he had been ready to withdraw at any time.

Cao Ren's face tightened slightly, as if he had noticed something and asked in a nod voice.

"What does the military master mean?"

"Zhuge Liang's previous army was here, all to hinder the progress of our army and buy time for the sneak attack on the soldiers and horses in Fancheng!"

"How is this possible! Even if Fancheng's troops are empty, there are 3,000 soldiers guarding it. Even in the face of the strong attack of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it will take at least half a month to conquer! What's more, Zhuge Liang is so intelligent that he can't expect that we will send troops and horses to help Fancheng on the way, just in case! He is really reckless!"

Cao Ren heard this and his face changed greatly, but he soon retorted. Jia Xu narrowed his eyes, shook his head and shouted.

"It's not! Zhuge Liang is not reckless, but surprisingly winning! He expected that we would be afraid of him, and the march would be cautious and slow, so he handed over most of the soldiers and horses to a tough general and quickly attacked Fancheng. At the same time, send the remaining soldiers and horses to resist for a few days in the New Wild Realm. According to the previous detailed report, there are about 20,000 troops in Xinye City. In the last episode, I saw that there were 5,000 soldiers and horses in the other army, that is to say, the number of soldiers and horses who attacked Fancheng was 15,000! When our army kills under Xinye City, Fancheng will have long been lost!"

Cao Ren couldn't help but panic and shouted.

"If Fancheng loses, the back road of our army will be cut off, and the army's heart will be in chaos. How can there be no reason to be undefeated! Fancheng can't be lost! Can the military division have a plan to turn the tide!?

In fact, Fancheng cannot be lost. For Cao Ren, there is another private reason, that is, Cao Chun's safety in Fancheng. Cao Chun is a brother of the clan, and even his blood!

Jia Xu's eyes suddenly condensed and said coldly.

"If you want to turn the tide, it is also necessary. I have a plan to make Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang die without a burial place!"

"Do you plan to come out? The military division is coming quickly.

Cao Ren's eyes suddenly widened, his face was full of joy, and he asked anxiously. However, Jia Xu next said something that made Cao Ren's heart beat.

"Zhuge Liang actually walked away with his sword, so adventurous. I might as well make a plan, abandon Fancheng, and attack Xinye! There are only 5,000 troops to guard Xinye City. As long as the governor orders, let 30,000 Cao's army fight back. If they don't fight, they will be killed. They will besiege Xinye! Xinye City is bound to be lost within half a month. At that time, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang will all become prisoners of the governor!"

Jia Xu deserves to be a 'poisoner'. This plan is ruthless. He knows that Cao Chun and Cheng Yu are in danger and are in danger. But he still ignored it. Instead, he had to use this point to achieve the purpose he wanted!

Cao Ren was full of shudder when he heard this. He looked at Jia Xu's yin eyes and only felt shudder!

After a while, Cao Ren finally reacted, and his anger surged and shouted harshly.

"Jia Wenhe, do you know that there is my brother of Cao Zixiao in Fancheng! Cao Chun and Cheng Yu are loyal and righteous people. They know that Fancheng is very important and cannot be lost. They must stick to it to the death for our army until the city is broken. If Fancheng is really lost, Cao Chun and Cheng Yu will definitely die! How can you bear to abandon each other!!!?"

In the face of Cao Ren's scolding, Jia Xu did not change his face. He looked directly at Cao Ren's tiger eyes and said coldly.

"Liu Bei is a hero in the world. In the past, he has been frustrated repeatedly, all because he has no military strategy under his command. This time, Zhuge Liang is such an outstanding sage, and the rise is unstoppable! If you don't take advantage of it, eradicate it as soon as possible. When he sits down and is strong, the prime minister will dominate the world, and it will be far away. What's more, you and I have heard that Liu Jingsheng has been critically ill in recent years, and Liu Bei will take the opportunity to take Jingzhou as his place of rest! If so, Peter Jingzhou will unite with the Jiangdong Sun family to fight against the Prime Minister. At that time, even if the Prime Minister conquers the northwest, it will be difficult for the Sun and Liu families to join hands!

Governor, the Prime Minister Huangtu's hegemony is all in your mind. If you make a mistake in this choice and the involvement is so big, it can prolong the world for decades!"

As soon as Jia Xu said this, Cao Renru was bombed by thunder, and his whole body suddenly lost his mind. Jia Xu slowly closed his eyes and sighed in his heart. Zhuge Liang was too horrible. Otherwise, Jia Xu would not have made such a poisonous strategy. Jia Xu knew that even if Cao Ren acted according to the plan, conquered Xinye, and helped Cao Cao eradicate Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. But Cao Cao will never be grateful to him at all. After all, Cao Chun is a man of the Cao family, and Cao Cao may even hate him. At the same time, Cao Ren, Xiahou brothers and others will also resent him. At that time, Jia Xu's official career in his life will be ruined.

After careful consideration, Jia Xu offered this policy, and he had already thought about it. If Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang got rid of it, he would resign from Cao Cao, hide in the mountains, and never care about the world again.

Jia Xu has always been an extremely selfish person. In order not to arouse Cao Cao's fear, he deliberately lost his talent and made Guo Jia the first counselor under Cao Cao's command. He is different from Guo Jia. Although Guo Jia is unruly, he is loyal and even a loyal person. Cao Cao will never doubt Guo Jia. Although he never meant anything, he was not as loyal as Guo Jia, and Cao Cao also realized this, so Jia Xu, under Cao Cao's command, never dared to make friends with the rest of his important ministers.

But even if it is such a Jia Xu, he still has a love for the people. At present, the world has been ravaged by war for a long time. He can't bear to prolong the period of chaos in the world because of Liu Bei's growth!

Cao Ren seems to be making an extremely difficult and painful choice. The blue veins on his head are bulging, his teeth are biting, and sometimes he looks at Jia Xu full of hatred. Jia Xu closed his eyes to refresh his mind and stood quietly. After the words just now, he no longer opened his mouth to disturb Cao Ren's thoughts.

I don't know how long it took, Cao Ren's eyes were red and he said word by word.

"Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are no more than a rat! The Prime Minister has millions of soldiers, how can he be afraid! Military divisions don't have to worry too much. After the Prime Minister conquers the northwest, collect the northwest forces, and then rise up millions of troops to go south to Jingzhou. If the rats dare to stop each other, they will also hit the stone with the egg and block the car with their arms!!"

When Jia Xu heard the words, his body trembled and he sighed in his heart. Cao Ren is cautious and careful, has a good command, uses soldiers like a god, and governs the army strictly, but he is still a little short of a perfect handsome talent. That's ruthless!

"The governor's attention has been decided, and he dares not hinder it any more. I also hope that the governor will order the army to move back to Fancheng as soon as possible, in case of emergency.

Cao Ren looked cold and nodded slightly. Jia Xu said and resigned.

Cao Ren made a choice, refused Jia Xu's poisonous plan of breaking his arm, gave up the good opportunity to annihilate Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and drove the soldiers to Fancheng to save him.

At the same time, Liu Jun waited to investigate and learned that 30,000 Cao troops had suddenly withdrawn, and hurried to Xinye City to report. Let's say that after Liu Bei took the army back to Xinye City, his heart was full of uneasiness. Pan Feng, Hua Xiong and other generals are also resting. There is no other reason. At present, the troops in Xinye City are empty, with only 5,000 troops guarding, and most of the troops and horses have been transferred by Zhuge Liang to attack Fancheng. And just ten miles away from Xinye City, there are 30,000 Cao troops. If Cao troops overthrow and attack, Xinye will be trampled on the ground within half a month!

However, Zhuge Liang was very different from everyone. With a calm smile on his face, he gently brushed the goose feather fan in his hand. Suddenly, his light smile slowly became bright and whispered.

"It's time to come back."

As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, Liu Bei, Pan Feng and others changed their colors one after another. Liu Bei just wanted to open his mouth to ask. Suddenly, a waiter stepped forward and knelt down to report.

"Report! Thirty thousand Cao troops have withdrawn from the Xinye realm all night and are rushing back to Fancheng!"

"Ha? Withdrawal! As Kong Ming expected, he really withdrew his troops!! Hahaha, Kong Ming, you are really a god!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed and laughed. Pan Feng and Hua Xiong looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. Zhuge Liang was calm and slowly got up and bowed.

"Cao Zixiao withdrew his army and left. The danger of Xinye has been eliminated. The lord does not send troops and horses to pursue at this time. When will he wait?"

"Hahahaha! What the military division said is very true!

Liu Bei nod his head and responded, so he issued military orders to Pan Feng and Hua Xiong. Pan Feng and Hua Xiong immediately took orders and left.

However, it is said that a few days ago, Gao Lan led Cao Ren's order and led 5,000 tigers and leopards to rush back to Fancheng. Gao Lan urged the army to advance quickly. As soon as he arrived at the realm of Fancheng, there was a sudden sound of gunfire. On the left and right sides of the road, countless bows and strings burst out like a rainstorm. Gao Lan was shocked. When he came to his senses, he found that there was a tide of arrows all around. Gao Lan hurriedly waved his gun to resist and shot down countless arrows, but even so, the tide of arrows was too dense, and suddenly Gao Lan was shot by several arrows. More than a thousand people were injured by the soldiers and horses led by Gaolan.

"Withdraw!! Get out of there!!!"

Gao Lan shouted loudly and immediately ran away. He wanted to escape from the range, and his deployment quickly followed. The left and right ambush sent several rounds of arrows in a row, killing nearly 2,000 Cao troops.

At this moment, there was a sudden rush of about 500 people rushing out of the road. The leading general was Tai Shici, the general under Liu Bei's command. Taishi Ciyuan stared at the tiger, rode the horse out, and went straight to Gaolan to kill. Gao Lan was shocked, and he saw Taishi Ci coming and dealt with it in a hurry. I saw the thunder gun in Tai Shici's hand, as fast as lightning, and he looked up and stabbed in his heart. Gao Lan flashed, and the thunder gun rushed past Gao Lan's body. Gao Lan was scared out of a cold sweat and quickly took a gun to Taishi Ci's face and stabbed it. Taishi Cixun quickly pulled back the thunder gun and put the gun against it. At this time, Tai Shici led the deployment to kill Qi Qi. Gao Lan did not dare to fight, so he retreated and escaped with a bloody way. Tai Shici led the soldiers to fight with the remaining Cao army and wiped out nearly a thousand people. The rest of the Cao army, who escaped with Gaolan, rode less than a thousand people.

Gao Lan was ambushed. After fleeing to a secret forest mouth, he saw that there were no pursuers in the rear and quickly rectified the soldiers. He is gray-headed and has a high view of uneven armor, which is very embarrassing. The surrounding tigers and leopards have lingering palpitations on their faces. Gao Lan looked calm, thinking that as soon as he arrived at the realm of Fancheng, he was ambushed by Liu Jun. As Jia Xu expected, Zhuge Liang sent troops to attack Fancheng. At present, he has lost most of his soldiers and horses, and it is useless to rush to Fancheng. After Gao Lan thought about it, he ordered the soldiers and horses to take a detour back to the realm of Xinye and inform Cao Renfancheng.
