Xun Wenruo had a half-hearted aura of a literary man at this time, and his whole body exuded a sharp aura, his face was ferocious, his nails of his tightly clenched hands had already pierced into the flesh, and drops of blood dripped down his fingers.
Who is Xu Chu? That is Cao Cao's beloved general. But like Dian Wei who died in battle, he is one of the best military generals under Cao Cao's command. His status is not even below him. Now he is actually given by Wei Yan who has never heard of him.
It would be fine if Zang Ba died, but even Xu Chu died. Even if he had great contributions, he could not offset it.
Besides, although Xu Chu was unruly, he was obedient to him and never disrespectful. This time, he was sent to Xiangyang by Cao Cao because of protecting him, and because he secretly sent troops to Xu Chucai to fight hard, no matter which aspect he said
It was all his guilt.
Originally, with his position under Cao Cao, it was nothing to send troops privately due to the special circumstances, but two generals were killed in battle in succession, and one of them was Cao Cao's personal guard. Even he could not bear the blame, and it was more important.
It is that he did not win this war, and since the beginning, he has not made any contribution except for the death of two generals in battle.
It was originally a serious crime to dispatch troops without authorization. In addition, the loss of troops and generals may also involve the Xun clan. The Xun clan is a large clan in the Central Plains. How could it be that there has not been offended by people in recent years? Of course, these people dare not come out to say anything.
, But now if Xun Wen had committed such a great crime, how could these people miss this opportunity to attack the Xun clan?
"Quick! Speed up and rush to Jiyang and order the rear army to prepare the siege equipment immediately." Xun Wenruo's cold eyes revealed a heavy worry.
He didn't know what Wei Yan was doing at this time, but he knew Xu Chu's ability. Even if Wei Yan wanted to kill Xu Chu, he would have to pay a huge price. Then this is the best opportunity to capture Jiyang.
The food and grass have been burned out. If we don’t take this opportunity to take down Jiyang, then when Wei Yan reacts, there will be no chance again.
Although it is nothing to beat Jiyang and kill Wei Yan, it can also offset some of the guilt. Therefore, Xun Wenruo will not let go of any opportunity.
"Military advisor, Jiyang is here." A young general pointed at Jiyang City not far away and looked slightly happy.
"Are the siege equipment ready?" Xun Wenruo's plain white Confucian uniform was already covered with blood from the soil, and he looked a few people in a mess.
"You have reported to the military advisor, all the supplies in the camp have been burned down, only dozens of simple ladders brought by the army." The young general said while looking at Xun Wenruo carefully.
"Well. Send the order and attack the city immediately!" Xun Wenruo had already expected the situation in the army and waved his hand without blaming it. It was already late at night. The whole city of Jiyang was extremely quiet, without any rest. It seemed like a city without any sound outside.
At this time, Xun Wenruo could only pray that Wei Yan was not so vigilant. When he returned seriously injured, he ordered his soldiers to be prepared.
"No." The young general breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly left.
Soon, Xun Wenruo's order had been conveyed. Hundreds of soldiers rushed towards the extremely dark Jiyang City with a ladder. Under Xun Wenruo's anxious gaze, these soldiers rushed to Jiyang City quickly, and the towering cloud ladder had already been loaded.
The walls of Jiyang City.
"kill!"
Just as these soldiers put a ladder on the city wall, the shocking shouts of killing instantly reminded me of the shocking sound. With the surging shouts on the city wall, nearly a thousand torches were lit in an instant, turning the entire thorn
The bright light of the Yangcheng.
"Haha, Xun Wen-would you fall into a trap." A loud voice sounded, and Wei Yan, wearing armor on the city, stood upright and looked down at the city, and he looked like he was injured.
After Wei Yan shouted, he waved his hand and instantly hundreds of arrows rushed down from the city. The soldiers who were climbing up along the ladder were killed by the sudden arrows. Most of them were killed and injured after the rain of arrows.
"What!" Xun Wenruo's face changed and then turned ashen. Wei Yan was much more difficult to deal with than he thought.
"How can such a general appear in Jingzhou?" Xun Wenruo looked bitter. He had met so many talents in a few days after he came to Jingzhou. Wei Yan was definitely a rare general.
"It seems that it is impossible to take Jiyang today." Xun Wenruo's face changed constantly. He didn't know if Wei Yan was really not injured at all. If Wei Yan was injured, even if it was consumed, it would have been a waste of soldiers.
Wei Yan was to be killed. This was not only to exonerate the Xun clan, but also to make Jingzhou lose a general.
"Qijian Military Advisor, Fancheng was attacked by the Flying Tiger Army." Just as Xun Wenruo was hesitating, a soldier ran over and said.
"What?" Xun Wenruo was shocked on the spot. Everything today seemed to have been arranged, and all his calculations were plotted by generals such as Jingzhou.
Taking a deep breath Xun Wenruo sighed: "Retreat."
The sound of gold sounded and the Cao soldiers who had already rushed forward retreated like a tide. Soon, Xun Wenruo's army had already assembled and rushed towards Fancheng. Xun Wenruo on the horse's back seemed to be several years old at this time, and looked like a figure.
Witheredness is a world of difference from the previous momentum.
Just as Xun Wenruo's army disappeared outside Jiyang City, Wei Yan on the city tower suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and after giving him a strict guard, he fell into a coma.
After killing Xu Chu, Wei Yan was also seriously injured. After returning to the city, he simply cleaned the wound and heard the news that Xun Wenruo's army arrived and put on new armor. Wei Yan immediately came to the city wall and insisted on tricking Xun Wenruo away Wei Yan Zaiye.
I couldn't help but fall into a coma.
But Wu Xiong outside Fancheng saved Wei Yan's life by chance. At this time, Wu Xiong was commanding the Thousand Flying Tiger Army to shout outside Fancheng, and the shouts penetrated the sky to save the few hundred left by Fancheng.
The famous soldier really had weak legs.
Just when Xun Wenruo's army left Fancheng, Wu Xiong also received the order from Pang Tong to secretly lead the Thousand Flying Tiger Army outside Fancheng. He knew that he suddenly appeared outside Fancheng late at night.
As soon as the Flying Tiger Army appeared, it alarmed the defenders in Fancheng. The deputy general who stayed to guard Fancheng was still Man Chong. This deputy general followed Man Chong for a long time and was very clear about Man Chong's defensive strategy, so even
It was Xun Wen-who was in Fancheng, he did not relax at all.
After seeing a thousand Flying Tiger Army ready to go, the deputy general immediately ordered the soldiers in the city to gather under the city gate. While guarding against traitors in the city, he sent people to pass on the news of the Flying Tiger Army's attack on Fancheng to Xun Wenruo.
In this way, both sides have been holding each other, and the Flying Tiger Army outside the city gate shouts to kill every once in a while, and the defenders in the city dare not relax. Seeing that the Flying Tiger Army did not move, the deputy generals in the city dared not order the soldiers out of the city.
But in my heart I prayed that Xun Wen would come sooner.
"General, they are here." A flying tiger guard came to Wu Xiong and bowed.
"Oh, how far is it?" Wu Xiong asked.
"There are less than five miles left." said the Flying Tiger Army soldiers.
"Well, let me know and leave immediately." As Wu Xiong said that, he had already patted the horses under him and turned around and left. Soon, the Thousand Flying Tiger Army left Fancheng under Wu Xiong's leadership.
The deputy general on the city tower was relieved to see the Flying Tiger Army leaving. At the same time, he also received news that Xun Wenruo arrived. While ordering the soldiers to be on guard, he was preparing to welcome Xun Wenruo into the city.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Xun Wenruo rushed to Fancheng with thousands of exhausted soldiers. For a night, Xun Wenruo not only did not say anything, but also lost Xu Chu and a thousand soldiers, and nearly five hundred soldiers were still lost.
Xun Wenruo did not return to the camp outside, so this time he could be said to have suffered heavy losses.
Although Xun Wenruo, who rushed back to Fancheng, knew that it was the plan of the Flying Tiger Army, he did not order the army to pursue him. At this time, there were no generals available in Fancheng, and once he pursued him, he might suffer heavy losses.
A few hours later, Pang Tong from Wancheng received news from Jiyang counties and looked at Wei Yan with admiration. The more she looked at Wei Yan, the more she loved him, and she felt even more happy to be able to treat Wei Yan as a student.
"What's wrong with the military advisor?" Gan Ning asked hurriedly.
"Haha, General Gan, please see." As he said that, Pang Tong handed the bamboo slips in his hand to Gan Ning.
After taking the bamboo slips and looking carefully, Gan Ning sighed and said, "The lord's vision is really extraordinary. Just after meeting him, he knew that Wei Yan was a talent. At that time, Wei Yan was still a small city gate general.
When he happened to meet his lord, he gave him eight hundred people without hesitation and asked him to station in the city. Unexpectedly, Wei Yan did it."
"It's really amazing that Wei Yan killed Xu Chu, a general under Cao Cao, in less than two months."
"Haha, the lord can only be unpredictable, but the lord is extraordinary." Pang Tong was filled with sighs when he thought of what Liu Qi said when he recruited him.
After Liu Qi recruited him, he said nothing and asked him to lead Gan Ning to take back Wancheng. This courage alone is not something that ordinary people can do.
"Military advisor, General Wei was seriously injured at this time. Should he send him back to Xiangyang, or invite Mr. Hua Tuo to Wancheng? If the disease is left behind, it will be troublesome." Gan Ning was a little worried about Wei Yan's injury.
"Haha, you can notify the lord at this time and see how the lord decides. As for Jiyang, let me leave it to Wu Xiong for the time being. Anyway, if Xun Wen broke Xu Chu and Zang Ba, he would not attack Wancheng again at this time." Pang Tong shook his head and shook his head.
road.
"Don't worry, military advisor, I will order someone to tell my lord about this matter." Gan Ning said excitedly. He had just come to Wancheng to send good news to Xiangyang twice in a row. The excitement in his heart is conceivable.
"Well, Xun Wenruo suffered a loss this time in Wancheng. You can send someone to Xudu to see how Cao Cao dealt with Xun Wenruo." Pang Tong instructed Gan Ning.
