    Zhang Lu actually dared to invade Guanzhong!

    Cao Cao was so shocked that he couldn't hold his chopsticks firmly and dropped a piece of juicy chicken ribs on the ground.

    Looking at the dirty chicken ribs on the ground, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Cao Cao's scorched face.

    In just a moment, Cao Cao regained his composure.

    He coughed dryly, put his chopsticks on the table, wiped the corners of his mouth unhurriedly, and then asked: "How dare Zhang Lu's thieves to invade Guanzhong? What is going on?"

    Guo Jia took a deep breath and told what happened in Hanzhong.

    It turned out that a few days ago, Zhang Lu took the wrong medicine and suddenly sent his younger brother Zhang Wei and general Yang Bai to lead 20,000 troops out of the Xie Valley.  The time was rushed eight hundred miles to deliver this shocking news to the Nanyang front line. Chapter 312: Those who want to play dirty, please accompany me!  .

    "Twenty thousand troops, will the troops leave the Xiegu"

    Cao Cao murmured in his mouth, his thick eyebrows becoming deeper and deeper.

    "Whether Zhang Lu's army marched out of Xiegu to threaten Chang'an to the east or not, the most important thing is that the entrance of Xiegu is too close to Chencang. If he leads his troops westward, he and Xiliang's army can form a pincer attack on General Xia Yuan. In this way, Long will  The situation on the mountain front will become extremely serious.¡±

    Guo Jia was quick in thinking and hit Cao Cao's sore spot with just a few words.

    To be honest, Cao Cao was not afraid of Zhang Lu. What he was afraid of was that Zhang Lu's dispatch of troops created opportunities for Ma Han's Xiliang army.

    Cao Cao's face became more and more gloomy, and he secretly gritted his teeth and said: "This Zhang Lu, how can he have the courage to stab me in the back at such a critical time?"

    "If Jia guessed correctly, it was probably Yan Liang who sent people to Hanzhong to induce Zhang Lu to send troops to help him relieve Nanyang."

    There was no concealment of helplessness in Guo Jia's tone. That helplessness was like the regret that after all the hard work, the result still fell short.

    "Yan Liang, it's Yan Liang again"

    Cao Cao gritted his teeth so hard that they almost burst into pieces, and the strong hatred burned on his face like fire.

    In the big tent, coldness and resentment filled the air.

    There was silence for a long time, and he remained silent. Chapter 312: If you want to play tricks, I'll accompany you!  Cao Ren, who was making noises, finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Prime Minister, Guanzhong is my fundamental place. I cannot allow any mistakes. Ren privately believes that Yan Liang, the thief, should be eliminated sooner or later, but there is no need to rush."

    Although Cao Ren did not directly persuade the troops to retreat, the implication was obvious.

    "What General Zixiao said is absolutely true. The overall situation is of paramount importance. Why should the Prime Minister care too much about a mere man? Let's spare his life and take it back later."

    Guo Jia also persuaded Cao Cao from the side and tactfully suggested that Cao Cao retreat.

    Cao Cao thought deeply for a long time, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, he hesitated and weighed for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly.

    Guo Jia and Cao Ren both breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that Cao Cao's sigh meant that he was determined to retreat.

    "It's okay to retreat, but if our army retreats, wouldn't Wen Yuan and Zihe be abandoned in the isolated city and push them to a dead end." Cao Cao looked worried again.

    The military tent fell into silence again.

    "Abandoning his subordinates without saving them, if rumors spread, it will definitely chill the hearts of his subordinates. How could Cao Cao not understand this?"

    After a long moment of silence, a sly smile appeared at the corner of Guo Jia's mouth.

    "Don't worry, Prime Minister, Jia Guo has a plan. Not only can Wen Yuan and the others break out of the encirclement, but they can also teach Yan Liang a lesson before retreating."

    Cao Cao's gloomy expression suddenly became joyful, and he asked urgently: "What's the best way to show filial piety?"

    Guo Jia had a confident look on his face and calmly explained his plan.

    Cao Cao became more and more excited as he listened. After hearing this, he couldn't help laughing, "Feng Xiao's plan is really a clever one. Yan Liang, Yan Liang, before I leave, I will teach you a lesson to let you know that I am not right."  Retreat out of fear of you!¡±

    Yan Jun¡¯s camp.

    It was late at night, the camp was quiet, and Yan Liang was sleeping comfortably.

    "Compared with Cao Cao's inability to eat and sleep all night, Yan Liang was in excellent spirits. He ate well, slept soundly, and was full of energy.

    While having a sweet dream, he was suddenly awakened by the commotion outside the tent, and heard Zhou Cang say: "My lord, General Wen sent several prisoners here, saying they have important information."

    Wen Ping is a stable person. Unless it is a matter of great importance, he will not disturb his rest.

    Yan Liang didn¡¯t have time to think too much, so heHe immediately cheered up, put on a robe and went out of the front tent, and ordered the prisoner to be brought up.

    Not a moment later, Zhou Cang escorted several prisoners in. A civil servant general held up his hands and said: "My Lord, more than an hour ago, these Cao soldiers tried to pass through our defense line and rush from Li County to Cao Ying.  , but was captured by my patrol, and General Wen found this letter from the prisoner. "

    The general said and handed over a letter.

    Yan Liang took it over and looked at it. The letter seemed to be a letter from Zhang Liao in reply to Cao Cao. The general meaning of the letter was to reassure Cao Cao that Zhang Liao would definitely act according to his plan.

    "Act according to plan"

    Yan Liang suddenly became interested, and he turned his attention to the prisoners, glanced at them a few times, and suddenly said sternly: "Come on, let me pull these people out and cut them into pieces."

    The pro-army troops on the left and right received orders and advanced fiercely.

    The prisoners were shocked and fell to their knees on the ground, crying and begging Yan Liang for mercy.

    Yan Liang signaled his troops to wait, stared at them, and said coldly: "You can live if you want. As long as you answer honestly, what is the agreement between your general Zhang Liao and Cao Cao, I will spare your death."

    "Back to my lord, it's like this. Previously, Prime Minister Cao sent someone to sneak into the city secretly and ordered General Zhang to lead us to break out to the north in three days. Prime Minister Cao will lead the army to meet him. The younger one followed General Zhang's order and wanted to reply  Prime Minister Cao did not want to be captured by the general."

    The prisoners were also very happy and told the truth in one breath.

    "It turns out that Zhang Liao wanted to break out of the encirclement. It's interesting"

    Yan Liang nodded, waved his hand to take the prisoners down, and then ordered Jia Xu to be summoned as soon as possible.

    Not a moment later, a sleepy-looking Jia Xu came over and dozed off, cupping his hands and saying, "My lord, I summoned the old man late at night. I don't know what his orders are."

    Yan Liang smiled and told Jia Xu exactly what happened just now.

    After Jia Xu heard this, the sleepiness on his old face disappeared. He pondered for a moment and said decisively: "Cao Cao suddenly ordered Zhang Liao to break out. It is probably because Zhang Lu has already sent troops to Guanzhong. He is planning to retreat."

    Yan Liang smiled faintly, and Jia Xu's judgment was exactly the same as his immediate reaction.

    Although the Yiji envoy to Hanzhong has not yet returned, judging from Cao Cao's intention of letting Zhang Liao break out, there must be something going on in Guanzhong. He has to rush back to the north. If Zhang Lu hadn't sent troops, which other princes would have made Cao Cao so impatient?  To retreat.

    "It's nine out of ten that Cao Cao retreated, but I feel like there's something fishy about it." Jia Xu changed the topic and added this sentence.

    The resourceful man was indeed slightly moved by what he saw. Yan Liang was also a little confused, so he asked Jia Xu where the strange thing was.

    "Since Zhang Liao has received Cao Cao's secret order to break out of the siege, he can act according to his plan, so why bother sending people out of the city to reply? Furthermore, Cao Cao has the ability to sneak attack our army's siege and send the secret order in, but the people Zhang Liao sent to reply did not  How could he be captured by our army? These are the two things I doubt."

    Yan Liang nodded slightly, "What Wen He said is exactly what I am suspicious of. Assuming that Cao Cao wants to deliberately disclose information to us, what is his purpose?"

    "In my humble opinion, Cao Cao wants us to know two things. One is that he plans to retreat, and the other is that he will raise a large army to support Zhang Liao's breakout in the north of Li City"

    Before Jia Xu finished speaking, Yan Liang suddenly realized and said: "So, Cao Cao wants to tell us that in three days his camp will be empty of troops, and we can take the opportunity to rob the camp. He also wants to tell us that in three days, he will  All the soldiers and horses will be in the north of Li City, so that we can send more troops to the north to prevent Zhang Liao from breaking out."

    Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled, and then said: "The truth is exactly the opposite. At that time, Cao's camp must have been heavily guarded, equipped with strong bows and crossbows, waiting for us to hit the wall, and Zhang Liao's direction of breaking out was not to the north, but to the north.  In the south where my troops are weak. In this way, Cao Cao can save Zhang Liao from breaking out, and at the same time make us lose on both sides, and he can retreat to Guanzhong in a majestic manner."

    The two of his chief ministers "singed and harmonized each other" and spoke eloquently to expose Cao Cao's plan.

    After saying this, Yan Liang and Jia Xu looked at each other and laughed, both excited and relieved that their masters and ministers had the same thoughts.

    The smile gradually faded, and on Yan Liang's knife-like face, cold murderous intent surged like an undercurrent.

    His eyes turned to the hanging map, and he sneered: "Prime Minister Cao, since you like to play dirty tricks so much, I, Yan Liang, will play with you until you have enough"

    Three days later.

    The night is like splashing ink, and the stars are dim.

    The cold wind of winter nightIt was bone-piercing and penetrated the thick armor, making Zhang Liao feel chills in his vest.

    Zhang Liao subconsciously tightened his armor and looked up at the dark sky.

    The clouds are as thin as gauze, and the crescent moon can only be vaguely visible.

    "The moon has passed its zenith, so it's almost time." Zhang Liao thought in his heart.

    The sound of footsteps sounded, and Cao Chun strode up to the top of the city. "Wen He, the agreed time has come. It's time to leave the city and break out of the siege."

    There was a tremor of excitement in Cao Chun's tone. It was obvious that the general of the Cao family clan was quite excited at this time.

    Zhang Liao took a deep breath, raised his knife and walked into the city.

    Fifteen hundred men, tigers and leopards were all in place. Seeing Zhang Liao and Cao Chun coming at the same time, a look of excitement flashed in their eyes.

    They knew that after being trapped for a long time, it was finally time for the birds to come out of their cages tonight.

    Zhang Liao got on his horse, glanced at the soldiers, and shouted in a deep voice: "Open the city gate, and the whole army will break out to the south!"

    The city gate creaked open, the suspension bridge slowly lowered, Zhang Liao and Cao Chun came out one after another, followed closely by 1,500 tiger and leopard cavalry.

    This army, full of expectations, ran briskly towards the enemy camp to the south under the cover of night.

    While riding his horse, Zhang Liao raised his head and glanced at the sky. The thin clouds had thickened, and the last corner of the crescent moon was completely covered by the dark clouds.

    For some reason, Zhang Liao had a vague feeling in his heart.

    "Prime Minister Cao has an unparalleled plan, so Yan Liang will probably be fooled" Zhang Liao comforted himself in his heart.  !  !  !
