Chapter 43 Revisiting the Old Place, Yingchuan Academy
After Zhang Xun and Liu Xiang entered Cao Jun’s camp,
To his shock, he discovered that in front of him was Cao Cao's army of 10,000 men, who were well-organized and well-positioned. Dian Wei, the god of murder, was stationed there.
More than that,
As the torches lit up in Cao’s camp,
There were another burst of noises outside Cao Camp!
Footsteps, torches, shouts of death!
"We've fallen into the trap. Quick, the rear army becomes the front army and rush out!"
Zhang Xun was afraid of being ambushed, but his reaction to the ambush became faster!
Perhaps Zhang Xun's defeat conveyed the "old Yinbi" characteristics of Cao's army to Liu Xiang's soldiers, so that they were more or less mentally prepared.
so,
After being ambushed by Cao's army again this time, their reaction was extremely fast. They arrived so quickly that before Zhang Xun's military order was sent to the rear army, the group of soldiers behind had already turned around and started running away!
Seeing more than half of Yuan's soldiers running away, Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh:
"Zhang Xun is worthy of being Yuan Shu's general. He actually managed to get rid of most of them this time. His adaptability is indeed extraordinary."
Lu Yan squinted at Guo Jia's proud face and replied, "Anyone who was tricked twice in a row would be more careful."
Without waiting for Guo Jia to say anything else,
Lu Yan urged the white dragon horse under his seat to walk towards Yangzhai City.
After walking for several meters, his voice reached Guo Jia's ears, "Let's go. Zi Lian, Mancheng thinks it's time to take Yangdi City... If you don't want to go back to your former home, go back to Yingchuan Academy."
see?"
Lu Yan's words made Guo Jia feel in a trance again.
In a daze, he, Guo Fengxiao, seemed to have returned to the days when he and his classmates were high-spirited and leading the country.
When he came back to his senses, Lu Yan had already disappeared.
He glanced around at the dark night surrounding him,
Guo Jia couldn't help shouting: "Oh! Changsheng, wait for me, wait for me!"
...
The words are divided into two parts,
At night, when Zhang Xun and Liu Xiang led the army out of Yangdi City,
Cao Hong and Li Dian counted the time and led a group of soldiers dressed as Yuan Jun's defeated troops to the gate of Yangzhai City.
In the past ten days, Cao Hong's vanguard had killed and captured many of Yuan's soldiers. It was very easy to get a Yuan's uniform.
During the day, Yangzhai City also received several groups of soldiers who had escaped from Zhang Xun's previous defeat.
The soldiers guarding the city thought that Zhang Xun was defeated again this time.
After seeing Cao Hong pretending to be a defeated soldier, they didn't think much and just opened the city gate so easily...
When Zhang Xun and Liu Xiang returned in panic with nearly 30,000 soldiers, they found that the king's flag had been changed at some point on top of Yangzhai City.
Cao Hong came to the top of the city with a big sword. He looked at Liu Xiang and Zhang Xun and shouted loudly: "Two generals, do you dare to attack the city?"
At this time, maybe the main force of Cao's army is still hanging behind. Should I go to attack the city now?
Zhang Xun and Liu Xiang were finally killed and couldn't help but cursed, "Attack the city? I'll attack you, Lao Mu!"
Cao Hong looked at Zhang Xun and Liu Xiang who were so filled with hatred that he couldn't help laughing and said:
"Since you don't dare to attack the city, then go back and cry with Yuan Shu in your arms! Hahaha!"
"You bastard, you're going too far!" This is unbearable! Zhang Xun felt an evil fire rushing straight into his forehead!
But Liu Xiang was still sober, and he was really tolerant.
Seeing that Zhang Xun was so excited by the hateful Cao Jun general that he lost his mind, Liu Xiang quickly grabbed Zhang Xun and persuaded him: "General, the main force of Cao Jun is coming. Don't fall into Cao Cao's plan to provoke the general!"
Zhang Xun was immediately excited when he heard this. Thinking of the ambushes he encountered day and night, he immediately turned to look at Liu Xiang and said gratefully: "Thank you, General Liu, for reminding me. I almost fell into the trap of General Cao again!"
Liu Xiang comforted him and said: "This battle was caused by Cao's army being too cunning and cunning, and it was not the general's fault!
We should quickly withdraw our troops at this moment to preserve our strength.
After reuniting with the lord, we will launch a majestic army, and we will definitely crush Cao's army completely!"
Zhang Xun was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately agreed: "What General Liu said is true. Let's retreat quickly and join forces with the lord first!"
Cao Hong looked at Zhang Xun and others who were retreating from him, and sighed with regret: "If I didn't only have five thousand soldiers and horses, I would definitely go down and bite him off at this time!"
Li Dian watched Yuan Jun go away, and after hearing Cao Hong's emotion, he replied with a smile: "General, there is no need to regret, we have made great achievements this time."
Cao Hong thought so, and then a bright smile appeared on his face, and he murmured to himself: "Hey, brother will definitely praise me!"
...
Yingchuan Academy is located in a secluded place with beautiful mountains and clear waters on the outskirts of Yangzhai, the seat of Yingchuan County.
Above the main entrance of the academy,
There is a plaque hanging on it, with four big characters written on it, "Yingchuan Academy", and under the plaque there is a signature: Mr. Shui Jing.
Yingchuan Academy was founded by Xun Shuang and Sima Hui. Sima Hui needless to say more.
Xun Shuang was the sixth son of the famous scholar Xun Shu and his uncle. He was praised as "the eight dragons of the Xun family, whose kindness and wisdom are unparalleled".
Yingchuan Academy and Shuijing Villa were both known as the two major talent treasure houses during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Countless young talents from aristocratic families gather here to study.
Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai were all students of Yingchuan Academy, and many top talents were produced here.
Unfortunately, Xun Shuang died of illness later, and many aristocratic families went south to Jingzhou to avoid disaster, and Yingchuan Academy gradually lost its aura.
Now that they are revisiting their hometown, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are filled with nostalgia and emotion.
After Lu Yan's army defeated Zhang Xun and Liu Xiang captured Yangzhai, reinforcements composed of Xi Zhicai and Zhao Yun and three thousand cavalry under their command finally arrived.
After seeing Zhao Yun coming, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other generals patted their chests and rejoiced:
"Fortunately, we have made a lot of achievements in advance. If we had waited for Zhao Zilong to come first, I'm afraid we would only be able to drink soup..."
When Xi Zhicai and Zhao Yun arrived, they also brought Yuan Shu a letter handwritten by Boss Cao.
The content of the letter is actually very simple,
It is describing how close comrades-in-arms Cao Yuan was when the princes joined forces.
Then he asked Brother Yuan why he came to attack Xiao Cao and so on.
Anyway, Boss Cao's attitude was relatively low, which gave Yuan Shu enough face.
It’s not that Cao Cao didn’t have the strength to defeat Yuan Shu.
He did this because he was concerned about the relationship between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
The second reason is that there is Liu Biao in Jingzhou who is more difficult to deal with in the south, and Yuan Shu's presence can help Cao Cao contain Liu Biao.
Now that Sun Jian is dead, you, Yuan Shu, took over Yuzhou, returned to your hometown of Runan, and then took over Shouchun. Isn't Lujiang very good? Even the six counties in Jiangdong are yours.
Why did Mao take a fancy to my, Cao Mengde's territory?
The relationship had always been good before, but Boss Cao couldn't figure out why Yuan Shu was so obsessed with lard that he wanted to raise an army to stab him in the rear.
But now that Lu Yan had beaten General Yuan's army, Boss Cao didn't want to do anything wrong, so he quickly sent this letter to Yuan Shu.
On a quiet path in Yingchuan Academy,
Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were at the front,
Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan followed Lu Yan,
Lu Yanze was caught alone in the middle, feeling a little depressed.
"Why are there people in pairs, but I am the only one who is fed dog food in turn?"
