Chapter Fifty-fourth, the city was taken, and the people ran away
Juancheng, outside Cao's camp, a group of soldiers and horses came from far north!
This was Fang Guang who had returned from the expedition. Within a few dozen days, Cao Jun's camp had become much larger. Knowing that Ming Gong had food and the Yanzhou family, many more people came to seek refuge.
Although Fang Guang and Xun Yu were not on the same page, he had to admire him when he saw this scene.
When it comes to integrating a state and mediating between famous families, Xun Yu is truly a rare talent in the world.
Of course, what Xun Yu did, other counselors, even if they were resourceful, could not do it without Xun Wenruo's status as a famous scholar in Yingchuan.
"Go ahead, I will introduce you to the lord, and tell the truth about everything. My lord hates deception the most, so there is no problem!"
Fang Guang saw that Tai Shici beside him was a little nervous and gently patted the Beihai general on the shoulder and comforted him.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter in Cao's camp, and a general ran out like a galloping horse.
"Datong, how about you go and deal with the trapped camp? Xun You is in a terrible situation, he lost thousands of people, and up to now, not even a hair of Gao Shun's shadow has been seen!"
"Hey, who is this? Why do you look so familiar?"
North of the Huai River, Xia Houyuan and Taishi Ci once faced each other at the middle gate. When they saw Taishi Ci, they felt that they looked very familiar and frowned.
"I am Taishi Ci of Beihai. I used to serve under Tao Qian. Miaocai, I remember you. The flying arrow injured the big-eared thief. It would be great if the arrow missed by just one foot and shot this man to death!"
Taishi Ci answered with some embarrassment. Xia Houyuan's eyes widened instantly. He couldn't imagine how Fang Guang and Taishi Ci could get together.
"Miaocai, Gao Shun has been defeated by me, but he was not captured alive. Ziyi surrendered to me. I will tell you in detail when I go to my lord's place! My lord's place has become more prosperous. There must be more Miaocai tribes.
Bar!"
In Cao's camp, the military generals of Qiao County had always had a good relationship with Fang Guang. Fang Guang explained it. Although Xia Houyuan was still confused, it was hard to ask further questions.
"That's it, Datong. You don't know that my lord has won the jackpot in the past few days while you were away!"
"The envoy from Chang'an, Huangmen Shilang Zhong Yao, and the famous scholar Sima Fang, came to pay homage to the lord!"
"The Zhong family is a big family in Guanzhong, and the Sima family is also a big family in Hanoi. I heard Yuan Rang say that these noble families didn't pay much attention to us in the past, but now that the lord has grown up, he will do it himself!"
"The battle in Guanzhong was a complete mess. The day before yesterday, my lord was drunk and said, our army can enter Guanzhong!"
Fang Guang was stunned by Xia Houyuan's words!
Zhong Yao, that is Zhong Hui’s father, a leading scholar in Guanzhong!
Sima Fang was the father of eight Sima horses, one of whom was Sima Yi, who overturned his boss's career.
These people are all top-notch people. Now they take the initiative to invest in Cao Cao. That is naturally a matter for Yanzhou. When the wealthy people with a keen sense of smell see it, the value of Cao Cao's lineage has increased!
The arrival of these people will definitely dilute their own shareholding ratio in Cao Ying. Compared with Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, and Sima Jia, what do they mean by the yellow turban captain and other Sima?
Fang Guang's thoughts were spinning, but the expression on his face remained unchanged.
Xia Houyuan took him straight into the commander's tent. As soon as he entered the tent, he heard Cao Cao's hearty laughter.
"Haha, Mr. Yuan Chang, he used to be a minister, and I was the captain of Xiyuan School, but I often went to Mr. Yuan Chang's house to cause trouble!"
"Counting me and myself, we haven't seen each other for four or five years. Meeting ancient people again is the greatest joy in life!"
"Mr. Jiang, I heard that Gong recommended me to the court many times in front of Li Cui and Guo Si. I am fully aware of Gong Jian's kindness. However, Yanzhou is undecided and Xuzhou is unfair, so Mengde cannot fulfill his wish!"
Cao Cao was talking eloquently, and the two scribes in the tent, both with elegant faces, chuckled together when they heard the words.
"Datong, you're back? What did you get? Gao Shun is cunning, so it may not be what you want. Haha, it doesn't matter. The imperial court has sent His Majesty's decree to annihilate Lu Bu. Now I'm waiting for the Western Expedition. That's a sacred order!"
"Yuan Chang, Jiangong, this is Fang Datong who I have told you two several times. Although he was born in Baiding, he is unparalleled in wisdom and bravery. Yanzhou can still survive under the treacherous plot of Chen Gong, it is all due to Datong!
"
When Cao Cao saw Fang Guang entering the tent, he introduced him with a cheerful face, but Zhong Yao and Sima Fang had a calm expression on his face and just nodded politely.
Fang Guang knew in his heart that these high-ranking sects would never really take him into their hearts, so he just nodded lightly and gave way to Tai Shici behind him.
"My lord, Tao Qian's command, the brave general Tai Shi Ci, has come to serve my lord, Ju Yeze, Lu Bu's command Li Feng, and Xue Lan, they have defeated me! Together we have gained ten thousand hu of grain and rice!"
"This city is important, Lu Bu will definitely come to capture it. I think this place is the place where the three surnamed family slaves were completely destroyed by me!"
Fang Guang was not from a humble family, but he spoke of being the top official in Cao's camp, which made Zhong Yao and Sima Fang, who despised him, have their eyelids twitch at the same time.
However, Cao Cao did not feel dissatisfied. When he heard that Fang Guang had captured the city and recovered the powerful generals, he stood up with great joy.
"Okay, okay! I didn't expect that Datong, with only a thousand people, could be so fierce!"
"Lü Bu came from Chenliu to confront me, but he just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to plunder Yanbei's food. Juye was originally a thorn in my side, but I didn't expect that Gao Shun was not destroyed, but he captured this city!"
"It's true that what is lost is lost in the mulberry tree, and what is gained is gained in the east!"
"Well, my lord, Gao Shun was also defeated by our army in Juye. He fell into the camp and lost hundreds of people. Gao Shun was also captured by me!"
Fang Guang scratched his head, and what he said made Cao Mengde stunned on the spot.
"What? Gao Shun was also defeated? Datong? Is this true? This thief single-handedly put our army in a dilemma. If we really defeat him and cut off Lu Bu, you should be the first to do it!"
"Quickly, bring Gao Shun to the tent. I want to see the power of the general trapped in the battle!"
Cao Cao laughed heartily, and most of the generals in the tent also laughed with their lord.
Next to Xun Yu, Xun You was no longer as high-spirited as when he first surrendered to Cao Cao. After listening to Fang Guang's words, this famous scholar from Yingchuan glanced at him, with a trace of resentment flashing in his eyes.
"My lord, I think Gao Shun is loyal and loyal. This man could not be used by me at that time, so he did not kill and capture him. This is because Fang Guang did not obey the lord general's order and came here to receive his punishment!"
"What? Let him go? Datong, what are you doing? How important this person is, you really didn't think about it!"
"If he continues to bring trouble to Yanzhou, what should he do?"
Cao Cao looked directly at Fang Guang, and his eyes gradually became cold.
Xun Yu, who was originally frightened, finally breathed a sigh of relief as Yu Jin and Le Jin joined the crowd.
Everyone has failed, but you, Fang Guang, are the best? That's not a slap in everyone's face. Fortunately, you didn't bring anyone with you!
Empty talk and white teeth, who knows what will happen to Gao Shun at the foot of Juye City?
"Lord, I believe that Gao Shun can no longer bring trouble to Yanzhou. Xue Lan, I also deliberately placed him next to Lu Bu. Lu Bu is always a suspicious and unjust person."
"Now in the camp, if Sisi is afraid, if Ming Gong goes hunting with the Bingzhou army and horses again, he will definitely not have the same courage as before!"
Fang Guang's words were a bit loud. Cao Cao was still pondering, but Xun You couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Datong is really from a high position and can see so far away. Anyway, Gao Shun and Xue Lan will not come to my camp to talk. What Datong says is what it is!"
"Yes, this military order cannot be violated. My lord asked you to kill the thief. You can let him go at your own discretion. Whoever captures Lu Bu in the tent next time can also let the tiger return to the mountain!"
"My lord, this Tai Shi Ci is Liu Xuande, a fierce general around Tao Qian. He came to surrender for no reason. Is there any fraud involved? I think this person is not available!"
"Datong's strategy is okay, leading the army, but it's a bit lacking. My lord, I think, from now on, Datong will just assist Yuan Rang and take care of more food and crops!"
