Chapter eight hundred and eighty seventh return carbine
"Take Dongjun directly?" Xu Yi and others looked at Guo Huai in shock. Hao Zhao frowned and said, "Isn't it too risky? There are still many enemy troops in Dingtao. If we do this
Go north and take Dongjun directly, what should we do if the enemy in Dingtao cuts off their retreat?"
"No!" Guo Huai said confidently: "Although there are many enemy troops in Dingtao, they are only enough to defend Jiyin! Besides, our ambush this time is a step to arouse the enemy!
I believe that the enemies of Dingtao will not dare to act rashly in the short term! We just took advantage of this opportunity to sneak attack on Dongjun!"
"Uh!" What Guo Huai said makes sense. The entire Jiyin County garrison only has two to three thousand people. Including the recently mobilized reinforcements, there are only more than 20,000 people. These people are guarding various areas of Jiyin.
It is possible to conquer the city, but it is not enough to take the initiative! Moreover, Guo Huai's plan also made everyone excited. If they can break through Dongjun and capture Cao Cao, it will be a great achievement, and everyone will want to do this.
What a shame! Thinking of this, the generals no longer objected.
Immediately, the army rested for a while in Dongming City, and then turned northward! Just after the West Qin Army left Dongming City, Guo Huai and others would never have thought that before they left, Chen Tai, who had fled in a hurry, would
He actually led his troops and horses back to Dongming City secretly!
It turned out that Chen Tai had not gone far at all. During this period, Chen Tai had been changing defenses in various places in Jiyin, but he knew the terrain near Dongming City very well. Chen Tai led the defeated army around Dongming City and hid in a
In the small valley, when they saw that the Western Qin Army was not pursuing them, they sent someone back to check secretly. After learning that the Western Qin Army had left, they cautiously returned to Dongming City.
Guo Huai and others never thought that Chen Tai would run back so soon, so no one was left in Dongming City. Although Chen Tai had just suffered a defeat, it was still easy to win Dongming City, which was almost empty!
After entering Dongming City, Chen Tai immediately searched the whole city. However, he did not catch any spies from the Western Qin Dynasty, but he did find some former defenders of Dongming City. Chen Taidang even ordered those defenders to be brought to the city.
Come before me, he wants to interrogate him personally.
As soon as they entered the city guard's house, several sergeants escorted a few men in civilian clothes. When the men saw Chen Tai, they immediately trembled all over, knelt down on the ground and begged Chen Tai for mercy.
Chen Tai glanced at these men coldly. He already knew before that the reason why these defending soldiers were able to escape was because they became deserters and hid secretly. For such cowards, Chen Tai
Tai Na looked down upon them from the bottom of his heart. If he didn't have something else to ask them, Chen Tai would have had them dragged down!
The deserters were brought to the courtyard. Chen Tai sat directly on the stone bench in the courtyard, looked at the deserters coldly, and coldly snorted: "Say!"
A simple word frightened the deserters to the point where they all fell to the ground, covered in cold sweat, and did not even dare to raise their heads. One of the deserters said with a trembling voice: "General, general, general! Please, please
General, spare your life!"
"Hmph!" A cold light flashed in Chen Tai's eyes. He waved his right hand and quickly pulled out the sword from his waist. Without saying a word, he slashed the head of the deserter who was talking! Chen Tai's sword
That was a sword. It fell on the deserter's head and immediately cut off half of the deserter's head! The red blood and white brains were mixed together and flowed all over the floor! Chen Tai slowly put away his sword.
, pointed at the other deserters, and snorted coldly: "What I want to hear is not nonsense!"
When Chen Tai was so frightened, the deserters immediately trembled, their faces turned pale, and their lips turned blue, for fear that the sword edge covered with blood and brains would fall on their heads at the next moment. When they saw themselves, they thought
The desired effect was achieved. Chen Tai snorted coldly, then took the sword away from the heads of the deserters, inserted it directly into the ground, and hummed: "How did the Western Qin Army conquer Dongming City? Tell me!"
As soon as Chen Tai finished speaking, the deserters rushed to answer: "General, general! Three days ago, the Western Qin Army suddenly appeared outside the city and launched an attack on the city! Although General Xu resisted desperately, the enemy
The attack was so violent, and it came so suddenly, that General Xu was still unable to block the enemy’s attack! I heard that General Xu was killed by the Western Qin general in the end!”
Hearing the deserter tell Xu Yun's ending, Chen Tai's fists were clenched tightly, and his joints were a little white due to excessive exertion. However, Chen Tai finally suppressed his anger and hummed: "Then why not
People go to other cities to ask for help?"
"Sent! Envoys for help were sent! But those envoys were shot dead by the enemy just after they left the city gate! The Western Qin Army had arranged assassins outside the city early, and General Xu's letter for help could not be sent out at all.
!" The deserters all answered Chen Tai's questions with sad faces, their faces full of caution and prayer, for fear that their answers would dissatisfy Chen Tai.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Tai closed his eyes and raised his head. The Western Qin army was well prepared. No wonder Xu Yun lost so miserably! Then Chen Tai shouted and asked: "Then where did the Western Qin army go before they left?"
?explain!"
As soon as Chen Tai asked this question, the deserters all looked at me and I looked at you. No one could answer. In the end, one of the deserters could only say cautiously: "General, general, villain."
, the villains have no idea where the Western Qin Army has gone!"
Originally, Chen Tai did not expect to get any useful clues from these deserters. When he heard what they said, Chen Tai's face turned cold and he hummed to the soldiers on his left and right: "Dispose of them with military law!"
These deserters ran away during the battle. If they were dealt with according to military law, they would naturally be dead! After hearing Chen Tai's words, these deserters were so frightened that their legs and feet became weak. They could not even speak and were directly surrounded by the sergeants.
He was dragged out!
Chen Tai no longer paid attention to these deserters, but sat there with his head down and thinking. It stands to reason that the Western Qin Army had just captured Dongming City. If they wanted to capture Jiyin County, the next step should be to go to the city closest to Dongming City.
Heze City is the one! But Heze City is to the east of Dongming City, but the Western Qin Army is heading north. This is completely inconsistent with the title!
"North, north, north..." Chen Tai kept mumbling these two words, and his heart was so confused that he couldn't help but stand up and walk back and forth in the yard. Suddenly, Chen Tai's eyes
As soon as he lit up, he shouted: "North! Isn't the north of Dongjun? Could it be that the Western Qin Army wants to take Dongjun directly? This, isn't this too bold?"
Chen Tai was shocked and doubtful in his heart. Although he couldn't believe this possibility subconsciously, he felt more and more that it was possible. Finally, Chen Tai suddenly raised his head, a trace of determination flashed on his face, turned around and walked straight into the side
In the study room, he randomly pulled out a piece of brocade silk and spread it out. He picked up the pen on the desk and wrote on the brocade silk. After writing, he blew the ink dry and then summoned a soldier to hand over the brocade silk.
The soldier shouted: "Take this letter and hurry to Dingtao. You must hand this letter to Master Mao in person without any mistake!"
After the soldier took the order and left, Chen Tai wrote another secret letter, summoned another soldier, handed the secret letter to him, and at the same time took out a token from his arms and shouted to him
: "Take this token, ride my horse, and take a detour to Dongjun! Remember, be careful on the way, don't be discovered by the enemy! When you get to Dongjun, go directly to Lord Xu Shu! Send this letter
Give it to him!" The reason why Chen Tai chose to have his soldiers hand the letter to Xu Shu instead of giving it directly to Cao Cao was because, as a small soldier, he would never be able to see Cao Cao easily, and the time-consuming process might not be enough.
It will delay the official business. Xu Shu and Chen Tai's father, Chen **Hou, is also Cao Wei's number one think tank. Only by asking the soldiers to find him can we ensure that this secret letter can be delivered to Cao Cao in the shortest possible time!
After the two soldiers left with the secret message, Chen Tai breathed a sigh of relief. Then Chen Tai walked out of the study and shouted to the deputy general guarding outside: "Pass my military order! The whole army is setting off, we are heading towards
Head north!"
"To the north?" When the deputy general heard Chen Tai's words, he almost jumped up in fright. He thought his ears had heard it wrong, so he quickly asked: "General, you mean to the north? That's not the west Qin army leaving in the north.
direction?"
"I know!" Chen Tai nodded vigorously, without any fear or hesitation on his face, and shouted in a deep voice: "We are going to pursue the Western Qin Army this time!"
Just as Chen Tai finished speaking, the deputy general's legs went weak, and this time he fell down. After finally standing up, the deputy general's face was still pale, and he asked in a trembling voice: "General, general, what are we doing here?"
, Didn’t we just escape from the attack of the Western Qin Army? What, why are we chasing the Western Qin Army again? With a small number of us, going to chase the Western Qin Army? Isn’t that tantamount to committing suicide? General!
I know that General Xu died tragically, but I hope that the general will put the overall situation first and never act impulsively!" The deputy general also came from Hedong with Chen Tai. Knowing that the friendship between Chen Tai and Xu Yun was unusual, he thought that
Chen Tai acted impulsively because he wanted to avenge Xu Yun.
"Stop talking!" Chen Tai shouted impatiently: "I have my own plans! You just need to act according to my military orders! Don't forget, I am the commander of the army! If you don't
If you follow my orders, you are disobeying military orders! Do you think you are being dealt with by military law?"
Seeing Chen Tai bring out the military law, the deputy general did not dare to say anything more. He could only do what Chen Tai said. Chen Tai squinted his eyes and looked north, snorting in his heart, success or not.
