Chapter 459 Yang Feng
Late at night, in a forest outside Wancheng, a man and a horse were resting. In order not to be found by the enemy and did not make a fire, many soldiers were leaning on the tree trunk and combing their wounds for themselves. At this time, some soldiers were already in a good time and fell asleep. From time to time, soldiers quietly walked through the woods and kept moving outside the woods. The situation is reported.
Zhang Liao stood in the woods and looked at Hua Xiong, who was still unconscious in front of him. Zhang Liao's face was solemn. The sudden arrival of Cao's army this time made Zhang Liao a little caught off guard. Fortunately, soon after Hua Xiong left the city, Zhang Liao received the news. Although the above order made Zhang Liao confused, Zhang Liao resolutely carried out the order. It was precisely because of Zhang Liao's early arrangement that the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Zhang Liao's army did not suffer much damage. At this time, Zhang Liao has collected 10,000 soldiers and horses. By tomorrow, I believe that many scattered soldiers and horses will be collected by Zhang Liao.
"Well, it hurts, grandma, Xia Houyuan is so cruel." At this moment, a dull voice sounded, and Hua Xiong woke up and turned around.
"It's good that you're not dead. Don't worry, we'll find the hatred this time sooner or later." Hearing Hua Xiong's voice, Zhang Liao was overjoyed. As long as Hua Xiong had nothing to do, it was nothing to lose some soldiers and horses.
"Well, it seems that Wancheng has really been lost." Hua Xiong opened his eyes and saw Zhang Liao and himself in a forest. He knew that Wancheng had been acquired by Cao's army. He couldn't help but feel a little depressed. However, looking at Zhang Liao's more depressed expression, he said, "General Zhang, don't worry, I'll help you take Wancheng back in a few days."
"You don't have to worry about this." With that, Zhang Liao handed a letter to Hua Xiong, which was the order Zhang Liao received in Wancheng.
"This? We finally took Wancheng and kept it for so long. Why did we turn to Cao Cao? With the help of the moonlight, Hua Xiong saw the handwriting on it clearly, but he became suspicious, because the content on it actually made them give up defending Wancheng. If Hua Xiong hadn't recognized that the handwriting above was Lv Bu's handwriting, he would have doubted the authenticity of this order.
"I don't know about this either. However, since Cao Cao came to Wancheng, I believe that General Lv Bu will also come to Sizhou soon. At that time, you can ask General Lv Bu in person. Looking at Hua Xiong in front of him, Zhang Liao put away the letter paper and said lightly. However, in an instant, Zhang Liao smiled again and said, "But even if Cao Cao got Wancheng, he was not happy. Wancheng must be just an empty city." After saying that, he looked at Hua Xiong and explained, "Before leaving the city, I have ordered the soldiers to distribute all the military food in the city to the people in the city. Even if Cao Cao gets Wancheng, he won't gain much. More importantly, if the Cao army wants to forcibly collect these military food, it will definitely conflict with the people of Wancheng. In that case, I will be more confident in recovering Wancheng.
"Then what should we do next?" Since he couldn't figure it out, Hua Xiong simply stopped thinking about it and asked instead.
"I don't know, General Lv Bu didn't give any further orders, so I think we'd better go to Lushan to station. Lushan Mountain is located between Wancheng and Yuzhou, close to Yingchuan. If you enter, you can threaten Wancheng and Yuzhou. If you retreat, you can go to Yanzhou, but you can temporarily settle down. Zhang Liao lowered his head and said after thinking about it.
"Why don't you go back to Sizhou?" Hua Xiong asked strangely. Although Lushan must be dangerous, Cao Cao in the west and Yuan Shu in the east are also very dangerous. At this time, Cao Cao captured Wancheng, and the gate of Sizhou was opened. He should have returned to Sizhou to prepare for Cao Cao.
"Since General Lv Bu asked us to give up Wancheng, he must have known that Cao Cao would attack Sizhou, and the reason why he chose to stay in Lushan was because I thought General Lv Bu would come to Wancheng." Zhang Liao raised his head and looked at the starry sky and said.
"Hey hey, that's good. General, you just decide." Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Hua Xiong smiled and gave Zhang Liao the decision carelessly. Zhang Liao saved Hua Xiong this time. Even if Zhang Liao's decision was wrong this time, what could he do? Is it worse than letting Hua Xiong lose his life? Moreover, Zhang Liao said that Lv Bu would come to Wancheng. Hua Xiong also believed in this point. Lv Bu must always be charging in the most dangerous place. At this time, Cao Cao had left Yanzhou and came to Wancheng, so Lv Bu thought it was almost to Wancheng.
"Did Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong escape? But forget it. Anyway, the target of our army is Sizhou. Even if we can't kill Zhang Liao and Huaxiong, as long as we get Sizhou, the two can't do anything. In General Wancheng's mansion, Cao Cao looked at Xia Houyuan and Le Jin and Yu Jin kneeling under the stage. He was a little angry, but he resisted the anger in his heart and said.
"Ming Gong, Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong have found the whereabouts of our army. The top priority is to take Sizhou with lightning speed." Looking at Cao Cao's uncertain expression, Guo Jia stood up and said to Cao Cao. Guo Jia naturally understood that whether it was Xia Houyuan, Yu Jin or Lejin, they were all powerful generals in the world, but their opponent was Zhang Liao. Although Zhang Liao was unknown, he was the second figure in Lv Bu's army. Compared with Gao Shun, whom Lv Bu trusted most, his talent was better. Therefore, although Xia Houyuan and the three failed It is also reasonable to intercept Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong.
"Xiahou Dun, you quickly led the troops to Luoyang, and I led the army and then arrived. Cao Ren and Li Dian Lejin, the three of you stay in Wancheng. Garrisoned in Wancheng for me," Cao Cao finally made up his mind to order the generals below.
"Yes." After listening to Cao Cao's order, the generals did not dare to delay and left overnight.
"Ming Gong, there is something suspicious. I don't know whether I should report it to Mr. Ming." Seeing the generals leaving, Guo Jia slowly walked to Cao Cao and said hesitantly.
"Feng filial piety, you and I know each other. If there is anything you can't say, just say whatever you want. Looking at Guo Jia's hesitant expression, Cao Cao hesitated a little and said with a smile. Although Cao Cao has always been suspicious, he has great trust in Guo Jia. The two often accompany him, which makes Cao Cao feel that it is too late to see each other. At this time, when he sees Guo Jia hesitates, Cao Cao is also a little restless.
"I checked the warehouse in Wancheng City and found that there was much less food and grass in the city. Later, I learned from the captured enemy soldiers that it was Zhang Liao who ordered the warehouse in the city to open the grain before leaving the city, which led to the lack of a large amount of food and grass in the city." Guo Jia sorted out his thoughts a little and then said word by word.
"You mean, Zhang Liao knew before leaving the city that our army would attack Wancheng, so he gave this order to leave us an empty city?" What a smart person Cao Cao is. Guo Jia just mentioned it a little, and Cao Cao had already thought about the matter and said. At the same time, the expression also became serious.
"Yes, but the strange thing is that since Zhang Liao knows the intention of our army, he should not send Hua Xiong to fight. This makes me a little strange." Guo Jia is also a little puzzled.
"Unless Zhang Liao really got the news of our army after Hua Xiong left, so Zhang Liao led his troops to rescue Hua Xiong and deliberately left Wancheng to our army." Cao Cao said guessingly.
"It's just that his subordinates think that there is no benefit for Lv Bu's army to do this. It must be Lv Bu's fatal weakness that Lv Bu's army's front line is too long. The reason why Lv Bu let Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong defend Wancheng is to prevent someone from attacking Sizhou with the help of Wancheng, so that Lv Bu's army can's head and tail can't be taken into account. At this time, it is to hand over Wancheng. Jean, what is this for?" Guo Jia said strangely.
"Hey hey, unless he wants to catch a turtle in the urn and kill his opponent." Speaking of this, Cao Cao Cao was the first to understand the purpose of Lv Bu's doing so. Maybe this is because the two of them share the characteristics of Xiaoxiong, so they are connected.
"If so, Ming Gong is afraid that he will reconsider his plan to attack Sizhou." Hearing Cao Cao's words, Guo Jia suddenly became clear and hesitated. He must be seen from the situation at this time. Lv Bu has discovered his strategic intention.
"It doesn't matter. I asked Cheng Yu to stay to defend Wancheng, but Wancheng is foolproof. In this way, our army can attack Sizhou and retreat to Yuzhou and Yuan Shuhui, which is just right." Cao Cao waved his hand and rejected Guo Jia's proposal. As long as Cao Cao thought about it, as long as Cheng Yu was left, Wancheng would be as solid, and as long as Wancheng was in hand, he would be invincible.
"Ming Gong. Now that Lv Bu knows the whereabouts of our army, he will definitely leave Yanzhou and chase our army. Why don't our army send an envoy to unite with Yuan Shao? As long as our army promises Yanzhou to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao will definitely lead his troops to the south. At that time, even if Lv Bu wants to fight to the death with our army, I'm afraid he will have enough strength. Seeing that Cao Cao was so confident, Guo Jia's eyes turned, and another plan came out in his heart.
"You can send someone to do this matter. I just don't know how the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan is now. I just hope that Yuan Shao can pull out his troops and go south." Although Cao Cao thought it was feasible for Guo Jia's proposal, he did not give much hope. Yuan Shao must deal with Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Zan was not easy to deal with. More importantly, once Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan and turned south to Yanzhou, even if he defeated Lv Bu at that time, it would let Yuan Shao's truth. The force is extremely inflated, which is not necessarily a good thing for Cao Cao.
However, it is said that Xiahou Dun led his troops all the way to Luoyang. On this day, he saw a man and horse in front of him intercepting the way, and a flag was loud in the wind, and the word "Yang" was written on it. A tall general under his company is Yang Feng.
It turned out that the news from Jia Xu came from Lv Bu, knowing that Cao Cao was going to attack Sizhou on a large-scale, he decided to clear all parts of Sizhou and transfer all the wealth and food to Hongnong, but the time was in a hurry, and it was difficult to complete it for a while, and Yang Feng, a passer-by, volunteered to stop Cao's army.
