Chapter 348

"Closing the city gate!" A loud shout cut through the quiet night sky. "Kill! Don't let Cao Hong run away." A louder wave of sound responded loudly. Dozens of rockets passed through the sky in the dark night sky. No! They were ambushed again. Cao Hong almost vomited blood in regret. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Retreat! Retreat! Retreat quickly." Cao soldiers, who had all rushed into Hulao Pass, ran wildly outside the city again. At this time, sparse flames began to rise on both sides of the main road. And thick smoke also rose from the distance inside Hulao Pass.

A large number of Cao soldiers were crowded at the city gate, and everyone wanted to escape from this area that was about to become a sea of ​​fire earlier. Cao Hong, who was full of regret, had no time to think of anything else. He shouted loudly: "The supervisor team obeys the order! Kill me those who trespass the city gate!" A big sword was ruthlessly swung his heads all over the city gate. The Cao soldiers were awakened a little. But just when Cao Hong had just restored some order, several rockets shot on the pile of firewood that had been prepared near the city gate, and the flames rose. Cao soldiers, who had just calmed down, became crazy uncontrollably.

Cao Hong could only escape helplessly. After running twenty miles in a row, Cao Hong gathered the remaining soldiers. Cao Hong hated him: Why are he so idiotic? He must prevent fire from entering the empty city. Why did he forget all such simple military knowledge? He didn't think about it. Can someone give up an empty city to him for no reason? Is there no conspiracy in it? However, while Cao Hong regretted, he couldn't help but secretly scolded the Youzhou troops for being too vicious and dared to set fire to the entire city, which was too disregard for the lives of the people. It was too inconsistent with the usual good reputation of the Youzhou troops. It was really a hypocrite's army.

Soon the report of the troops was counted, and there were 25,000 vanguard troops left for 30,000. However, except for the little dry food that the soldiers carried with them, all the other supplies were lost. Cao Hong was very glad that he was not wiped out in such an ambush. Instead, he brought so many soldiers to escape from Shengtian. His luck was still a little bit. Cao Hong ordered his men to make a fire, boil the dry food he carried with him, and have a simple meal to rest. When he meets with the main force tomorrow, he will replenish it.

However, just as Cao Hong's troops caught fire, the dry food was heated up, and before they could eat it, the sound of horse hooves came from afar. In the dark, I don't know how many people and horses came from the other side. Cao Bing, who had not had a rest for a long time, had been running nervously, exploded the camp at that time. Before Cao Hong could appease these soldiers, the cavalry had arrived. He shouted loudly for a general: "Zhang Wenyuan from Youzhou came to see General Cao respectfully."

As he finished speaking, Zhang Liao had already led his troops to rush into Cao Hong's temporary camp. This time, Cao Hong's temporary camp had no walls. There were no defensive fortifications, and only a few fires would be killed. Isn't this let Zhang Liao and the others go to bed? A few rain of arrows has already made Cao Hong's troops run again, and the long rifles were also quickly seizing the lives of Cao soldiers who were behind. The fierce shouts of killing made Cao Hong's troops run like a flock of sheep driven away. The morale was low and the defeated army was hard to save. Cao Hong could only helplessly escape with the defeated army.

As many times, as soon as Cao Hong's troops stopped to rest, Zhang Liao's troops would come and see him off immediately. He kept sending Cao Hong's troops to Xiahou Dun's camp, which was the end. Xiahou Dun originally wanted to counterattack, but Xiahou Dun ordered the troops, but found that the morale of his soldiers was a little low. He was not in good condition. Obviously, he had been harassed for the past two days and had not received a rest. Coupled with the mistake of Cao Hong's defeated soldiers, he saw that Cao Hong's troops were even more breathing than dead people. And they all looked anxious. Xiahou Dun sighed: How can the soldiers fight? Just rest.

At this time, Zhang Liao was smiling proudly in Hulao Pass. Hulao Pass was also intact. Burning Hulao? That was nothing but a plan for Zhang Liao. If Cao Hong had not escaped fearfully at that time, it would be Zhang Liao's turn to retreat. Of course, if he had to say that he would have been a few piles of injustice in the huge Hulao Pass, it would have been a burning thing. Then Hulao Chulao could barely say that Hulao Chulao would have been a picnic barbecue.

You should know that although Hulao Pass is a military fortress, there are quite a few people who exist with the garrison troops. In just a few days, Zhang Liao, Gan Ning and others couldn't even deal with the prisoners, so how could they have so much time to mobilize these people to move? Now the people on Sili are not as easy to coax as Liu Bin moved the people of Luoyang to Youzhou when he was the first to be a villain, and a torch burned all Luoyang. All the people in the area were homeless and had no jobs.

Of course, Guo Jia is much easier to deal with. But in that case, a considerable number of people are unwilling to leave their hometowns. Now, let alone Zhang Liao, the internal mobilization ability of Ganning is far inferior to Guo Jiadan. However, the industries established by these people here are few of them willing to give up. The plot of the Chinese people's love for the land is really stubborn and terrible. As long as it is not the crisis of the extinction of the entire clan, these people will not abandon the land left for their descendants.

Since the people did not leave, how dare Zhang Liao really set fire? Isn’t this asking for scolding the lord? Therefore, Zhang Liao just bluffed. And even if Zhang Liao placed all the people, Zhang Liao wouldn’t really set fire to burn Cao Hong’s troops. Although it was simple to burn Cao Hong’s troops, it was just a trick of Cao Cao’s 30,000 troops. This might force Cao Cao to fight Liu Bin desperately. It was a bargain for Yuan Shu and others who were staring at him. This was contrary to the strategic intention of the General Staff. It was also explicitly prohibited by the General Staff.

Now Zhang Liao has also received an order similar to Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun. He cannot kill Cao Cao's troops on a large scale, and forced Cao Cao to hurry. However, he had to drag Cao Cao's main force firmly to Sili to facilitate Qingzhou's control. Then he took down a little Xuzhou chassis as much as possible! To put it bluntly, Liu Bin and Cao Cao are afraid of fighting both ends of the wolf. No one is willing to trigger a decisive battle at this time, giving way to outsiders. He also has to strive for the greatest benefit on the bottom line that the other party can tolerate. Therefore, Zhang Liao divided the 3,000 cavalry he brought into ten teams, each of which was 300, all of which were led by Zhang Liao. He continued to attack Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun's troops, causing him to delay the march and deal with the doubts.

And just as Zhang Liao was playing with Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun, Liu Bin also received news that Cao Ren was going to Youzhou. Guo Jia congratulated Liu Bin and said, "Congratulations to lord! Congratulations to lord." Liu Bin was surprised in his heart. What was the pleasure of sending an envoy to Cao Cao? However, Liu Bin looked at Jia Xu, Xun Yu and others, and he looked happy. He immediately knew that Guo Jia said this. There must be his reason, so he said quietly: "It's normal. There's nothing to be happy about. Instead, you have to be more careful."

Guo Jia is so awkward! It's like he punched the air with all his strength. Guo Jia secretly complained: Why didn't your lord cooperate this time? You won't say where the joy comes from. I'll continue to say it. What am I saying now? Liu Bin looked at Guo Jia like that and secretly proud: I just don't ask. I'll suffocate you to death. I see if you say it or not. Guo Jia misunderstood when he looked at Liu Bin's smile. Guo Jia immediately thought of a possibility. He was sweating all over and had to admire Liu Bin's high pole.

Jia Xu, who was standing beside him, saw Guo Jia and Liu Bin, going off topic again, quickly said, "My lord is right! There is really nothing to be happy about this matter. Even if Cao Cao is not going to give Xuzhou to us, according to our plan, Xuzhou is also our belongings. But this will save us some trouble. The lord can order Guan Hai from Qingzhou to seize Xuzhou." But Jia Xu never expected that he had just finished speaking. Guo Jia spoke out and said, "Let's wait! This matter must be discussed for a long time. We seem to have a critical link. If it weren't for the lord's reminder, we would have suffered Cao Cao's loss." Guo Jia was shocked as soon as he said this.

Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Xun You and others are all people with profound wisdom. The entire Xuzhou combat plan. Except for the initial failure to garrison troops in Guandu, every step after modification is perfect. Countless war reports prove this. How could Cao Cao have other ways to respond? However, Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Xun You and others knew that Guo Jia was definitely not a sensational person. It must be a reason. Moreover, since Guo Jia mentioned his lord Liu

Bin, it is even more impossible to be wrong. Although Guo Jia and Liu Bin have a very close relationship, they make some harmless jokes from time to time. But Guo Jia will never joke about such things. Moreover, with the tacit understanding between Guo Jia and his lord, it is nothing strange that Guo Jia can understand some tips from his lord. But the problem is that the envoy sent by Cao Cao, in addition to giving Xuzhou to Liu Bin so that Liu Bin can withdraw his troops, what tricks can Cao Cao play?

With Guo Jia's assertion, the atmosphere in the conference hall seemed a little mysterious for a moment. Everyone in the room fell into deep thought. It also included Liu Bin who was smiling. Liu Bin was satisfied that this was something that everyone thought was a happy event, and it would be harmless to make some jokes. But who knew that Guo Jia could still understand some spirit from here. It was really amazing. Although Liu Bin was silent on the surface, Liu Bin smiled secretly: The joke was a bit too big. If Guo Jia asked him to give everyone some advice in a while, what should I do?

However, while Liu Bin smiled bitterly, he was also secretly glad: Since Guo Jia could think of the problem, no matter how he understood it, there must be still problems here. Cao Cao is impossible, so honest and just follow his wishes. If you can see it earlier, there will be benefits to step earlier. However, Liu Bin's small concern is a bit unnecessary. Liu Bin's talent under Liu Bin obviously does not need to remind Liu Bin and explain it. Shortly after Guo Jia finished speaking, Jia Xu was the first to understand: "It's not bad. There are indeed some problems here. Cao Cao is really cunning. If he succeeds, it will be very unfavorable to our Youzhou strategic deployment. But since the lord has already discovered it, as long as we implement certain measures, then Cao Cao's tricks will have nothing to worry about."

After Jia Xu understood, Xun Yu also figured it out and said with praise: "Wenhe is reasonable. Cao Cao's tricks are just some small conspiracy methods. They are not as good as the upright talent and strategy." Xun You was considered to be slow among these people. But he also spoke for so long before and came to know it. He nodded and smiled from the side. Now it was Liu Bin's turn to vomit blood. Liu Bin is so depressed! You high-class talents have figured it out, but it's just a clear explanation. Why are you just taking money and not working? If you understand everything, you are thinking about it and worrying about me?

However, although Liu Bin was very anxious, there was Guo Jia's previous sentence at the bottom. Liu Bin could not ask in a hurry. He could only maintain a completely clear look without saying a word. Fortunately, not all the people in this article were wise. There were still one or two confused. For example, Dian Wei was still confused. Dian Wei looked around and said: OK. Not everyone understood it, but I was still confused. However, Dian Wei didn't care. These people were faster than their brains when they were open, which was incomparable. Moreover, these people were not outsiders, so there was nothing to care about. Dian Wei immediately touched his head and smiled: "Why are you fighting for a dumb puzzle? I'm stupid and not as good as you. You can tell me too. I can also refer to it."

Guo Jia heard this and said, "Old Dian. This is what the lord sees, and it should be said by the lord." Come on! I knew you would say this. Liu Bin muttered secretly in his heart. But on the surface, he said without comment: "Since you all understand, this is much easier. You can write it with paper and pen. I will judge with you. Lao Dian can understand it." Guo Jia and others thought that Liu Bin was just to observe him and others, and they really understood or fake it. So they didn't object, and they took paper and brushed it and handed it to Liu Bin. Liu Bin set it open and saw that it was all two big words: Use room.

Liu Bin immediately understood: his biggest advantage now is that his confidentiality measures are strict. All military situations are unknown to outsiders. He can let himself use his military strategy at will. (To be continued...)
