"You don't understand the art of war?" Twenty miles away from Xuchang, when Yuan Tan learned that Chu Nan was not proficient in the art of war during a casual chat, he looked at Chu Nan in astonishment.
As far as he knew, Chu Nan pacified the two counties of Jianghuai and led troops to kill everyone in Runan. Even Cao Ying's fierce general Xiahou Dun died at the hands of Chu Nan. If you say that such a person does not understand the art of war, who will believe it?
Originally, he wanted Chu Nan to be his general temporarily and attack the city. After all, the abilities of his two generals, Zong Wang and Cen Bi, in this battle really made Yuan Tan uneasy.
The reason why I agreed to come here is that Chu Nan is by my side.
"It can't be said that I don't understand it at all." Chu Nan smiled modestly and said: "So far, I can use the Nine Secrets of the Imperial Army to use the Fengzi Secret and the Yinzi Secret. The others have not been practiced yet."
Yuan Tan: "..."
Cen Bi can already cast the Five Secrets, and Zong Wang can even cast the Seven Secrets. Compared with Chu Nan, who only knows two Secrets, it's really...
"Then he..." Yuan Tan looked at Zhou Cang aside. He remembered that this was a fierce general who broke Cenbi's battle formation with one strike.
"The final general will be proficient in Shan Zi Mi and Po Zi Mi!" Zhou Cang said proudly.
Why so proud?
Yuan Tan couldn't figure out the origin of Zhou Cang's pride.
"Zhou Cang is born with divine power and is unparalleled in bravery." Chu Nan briefly introduced Zhou Cang's abilities.
In fact, Zhou Cang is not bad at martial arts. In terms of this alone, even if he is not first-rate, he is still a second-rate top group. As for the commander, Zhou Cang can still command two hundred people, but beyond this number, the combat effectiveness will plummet. This is what Zhou Cang has always said.
It was because Chu Nan stayed by his side, but Pei Yuanshao had already begun to lead the troops.
With two hundred men, Pei Yuanshao is far inferior to Zhou Cang, but if it rises to a thousand men, Zhou Cang can probably tie the opponent with his personal bravery. If it rises further, Pei Yuanshao can in turn suppress Zhou Cang. If it rises to two thousand men,
Pei Yuanshao can abuse Zhou Cang.
Of course, Pei Yuanshao's talent is limited to two thousand people. No matter how many more, he can't do it.
Yuan Tan looked at Zhou Cang and then at Chu Nan: "Zi Yan leveled Jianghuai, fought against Runan, and participated in countless battles. Generals like Liu Xun and Xiahou Dun were defeated by you. Do you not understand the art of war?"
"It's all down to the dedication of the soldiers, plus my father-in-law and my several fierce generals..." Chu Nan gave Yuan Tan a look that you know.
Yuan Tan did understand. He fought in all directions in Hebei without any defeat. Basically every time he went on an expedition, he was surrounded by generals like Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Lan who were responsible for coordinating the entire army. It cannot be said that Yuan Tan was completely useless.
, but Yuan Tan knew very well that half of the merit attributed to him was actually helped by others.
But you are too bad, right? You can only use two of the Nine Secrets of the Royal Army? You have the Secret of Water and the Secret of Trap, so you can basically do it.
He glanced at Chu Nan with some disgust. The distance of twenty miles was really not far for the troops supported by the military formation. They had already sensed their presence and closed the four doors tightly.
Yuan Tan did not bring any large siege equipment when he came this time. Without strong generals to break the city, it would be difficult to capture the city.
"Does Zi Yan have a plan to break the city?" Yuan Tan looked at the city that had already appeared in his sight, and his confidence was somewhat lacking.
Xuchang is the rear area of Cao's army and must be guarded by heavy troops and strong generals. Although he has many men and horses, he may not be able to capture Xuchang if he attacks by force.
"If you can break it, attack it. If you can't break it, it doesn't matter." Chu Nan said with a smile.
"What do you mean by Mr. Ziyan's words?" The counselor on the side frowned and looked at Chu Nan.
"Actually, we only need to let the defenders of Shouzhang know that our army has arrived at Xuchang, which will be considered a victory." Chu Nan smiled and said: "Now the main force of our army is attacking Shouzhang. We already have no time to spare and our morale is low. If we know that Mr. Yuan has arrived again,
And if you cut off their return route, the morale of the army will be shaken."
"Sir, are you saying that if you are trapped in Xuchang, Shouzhang's troops will be invited to attack, and our army will wait for work to attack them?"
"No matter whether Shouzhang's soldiers come to save him or not, he will definitely lose this battle." Chu Nan shook his head. No matter whether the other party comes to save him or not, the retreat will be cut off, which will inevitably cause turmoil in the morale of the army. It is already at a disadvantage. In this way, it will inevitably
There is no doubt that they will lose. The outcome was already decided when they appeared here. The only question is how this battle will be lost.
Yuan Tan nodded as if he understood, but felt relieved in his heart. He looked at Chu Nan and said, "So, our army only needs to be stationed here to prevent the enemy from coming to rescue?"
"That's the truth, but doesn't brother Xiansi want to capture this Xuchang to enhance the military's power?" Chu Nan asked with a smile.
"Zi Yan has a plan to destroy the city?" Yuan Tan's eyes lit up and he looked at Chu Nan.
"Of course there is no strategy to break the city. As I said below, I don't know the art of war." Chu Nan shook his head: "But with the current situation of Cao's army and the reputation of the Yuan family, why not try to recruit him? In the name of the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, given the current situation of Cao's army, no
Everyone in the meeting is willing to fight to the death, but of course, this may not be possible."
"But I don't know who can go and recruit him?" Yuan Tan also felt that this was reasonable and looked at Chu Nan and said.
"I have a deep grudge against Cao Jun. If I leave, I may not be able to come back. Brother Xiansi has many talented people. You can choose one person to go and lobby. You can also find out what's going on in the city." Chu Nan said with a smile.
He will definitely not go. As for who else will go, who is the general guarding the city is unknown. If he is a die-hard Cao Cao loyalist, he will be angry and give himself a knife, and it will be over.
, then it depends on Yuan Tan.
Yuan Tan also felt that it made sense and looked at his counselor.
Cen Bi and Zong Wang still need to lead the troops, and the two warriors may not be qualified for this task. The counselor is good at debating, so it is most suitable for him to do so.
"My lord, please wait a moment. I'll come back as soon as I get down there!" The counselor smiled slightly, saluted Yuan Tan, then rode his horse straight to the gate of Xuchang City. After announcing his identity, he was soon hoisted up to the city in a hanging basket.
.
"If you are willing to talk, it means there is a chance." Chu Nan's eyes lit up when he saw this scene. It would be best if he could take down Xuchang without losing any blood, and he could retire with success.
On the other side, after the counselor entered the city, he quickly saw the guard general Xuchang.
"Sir, our army has always been on good terms with your army, but we don't know why we are attacking?" General Xuchang is Qin Qi. Although he is not a general, he is a general who can barely squeeze into the second echelon among Cao's army.
Hearing that Yuan Tan was coming to attack, Chu Nan was really shocked as he thought. After all, did Yuan Tan's joining mean that Yuan Shao also wanted to destroy Cao's army? If so, how could they survive?
Therefore, when she heard that Yuan Tan had sent an envoy, Qin Qi immediately ordered someone to bring him here in order to find out the truth.
"I don't agree with what the general said. You need to know that Duke Cao is deceased. As far as I know, your army is now in charge of Cao Pi, the son of Duke Cao. Where did this handover come from?" the counselor said with a smile.
Qin Qi's face darkened, she looked at the counselor and said, "In that case, I don't know why you are here, sir?"
"I'm here for the general!" The counselor looked at Qin Qi and said with a smile: "General, now that Cao's army is declining, our army has formed an alliance with the Xuzhou army and jointly attacked. General, do you think you are still lucky?"
"Huh!" Qin Qi snorted, but did not refute. With Yuan Jun joining, they had indeed reached the end of their rope.
"Our army has joined, and the defeat of Cao's army has been determined. However, this is Cao's army's business after all, and has nothing to do with the general. Has the general thought of a way out for himself?" Seeing Qin Qi's silence, the counselor continued to laugh.
Qin Qi looked at the counselor, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Sir, I wonder why your army can't unite with our army to deal with that Lu Bu? Does Mr. Yuan know about this?"
Cao Cao treated him well. Now that Cao Cao is dead, Cao Cao's army is in danger and is unwilling to betray him at this time.
The counselor shook his head and said: "If you want to form an alliance, you must inform Duke Yuan. Besides, Lu Bu is already in power now. Duke Yuan is still in Youzhou, and it is difficult to contain Lu Bu. In this case, why bother with him?"
"Mr. Yuan is still in Youzhou?" Qin Qi keenly sensed something was wrong. Her heart moved and she looked at the counselor: "Then how to inform Gong Yuan? Is this battle decided by the eldest son privately?"
"What's the difference between informing before the war and informing after the war? To be honest, general, the victory of this battle has been decided. Not only our army is participating in the battle, but also Lu Bu's son-in-law Chu Nan is in the army outside the city. This man once leveled the Jianghuai River and fought against you.
Nan..." The counselor also felt that he had said the wrong thing and quickly added.
Chu Nan also has quite a reputation now, especially after killing Xiahou Dun, it was just right to use it.
"Chun Nan!?" Who knew it would be a good thing not to mention this name? When the counselor mentioned it, Qin Qi's whole body seemed to explode. She slapped the table and looked at the counselor and roared.
"Uh..." The counselor did not expect such a big reaction from the other party. He nodded blankly and said: "Exactly, the general should know about this person."
"Of course I know!" Qin Qi looked at the counselor with a serious look and said coldly: "Did you know that Cai Yang, who died at the hands of Chu Nan in the battle in Runan, was my uncle!"
The muscles on the counselor's face twitched. He really didn't expect this. It's no wonder that Chu Nan didn't want to come to lobby. Cao's army was almost full of his enemies. If he wasn't careful, he might encounter someone like Qin Qi.
"Come here, chop off this person's head and throw it out of the city!" Qin Qi shouted angrily: "Since Chu Nan is here, and you want someone to surrender, don't even think about it. Today, Xuchang fought to the death of every soldier.
Never surrender!"
Qin Qi's nature is like a fiery one. His father died young and he has been practicing martial arts with his uncle since he was a child. After learning that his uncle died on the battlefield, he wanted to kill Chu Nan. Unfortunately, Cao Cao died in the battle and the morale of Cao's army was low.
After retreating all the way to this point, I thought that there was no hope of revenge in this life, but who would have thought that God would send Chu Nan right in front of me.
"General, think twice!" The counselor's expression changed and he said loudly: "This is the grudge between Chu Nan and the general, what does it have to do with me!?"
He really regretted saying Chu Nan's name. He wanted to use his reputation to scare the other party, but unexpectedly he met Chu Nan's enemy, which made him self-defeating and ended up endangering his own life.
"Since you have joined forces with Chu Nan, let me borrow your head. Today, I will use your head as a sacrifice to the flag. I will chop off Chu Nan's head to pay homage to my uncle's spirit in heaven!" Qin Qi's nature is like a raging fire!
Man, at this moment, new and old hatreds are flooding into my heart, and the anger in my chest is like adding fuel to the fire. How can I still hear the other party's words? I immediately ordered people to cut off his head, and then ordered five thousand soldiers and horses to leave the city, intending to capture Chu.
South kill!
The counselor screamed and was dragged out by the soldiers. After a while, his head was brought back. Qin Qi also counted the soldiers and horses, and took his head with him to kill all the way out of the city...
