- Not only Cao Cao, but also the entire military tent fell into silence in the blink of an eye.
Shock and suspicion shone on everyone's face. They could not figure out how the impregnable Wuguan fell inexplicably without any warning. .
"Moreover, Cao Hong and Cao Zilian became Yan Liang's prisoners for the second time.
This is an unprecedented shame for Cao Cao and even the entire Cao family.
"Wuguan Naiyao descended to Xiongguan, Zilian had three thousand elite soldiers under his command, and Wenruo was in charge of Chang'an. How could Yan Liang suddenly conquer Guancheng?"
Cao Cao¡¯s face was gloomy, and he had strong doubts about Liu Ye¡¯s information.
Liu Ye then told the details of how Yan Liang pretended to attack Shangyong County, but suddenly changed his route on the march and attacked Wuguan. How Cao Hong was lax in his defenses and was caught off guard by Yan Liang and fell into Guancheng.
After hearing the whole process, Cao Cao lost his temper and could only accept this cruel reality bitterly.
In the big tent, the atmosphere was deathly silent, and everyone's face was covered with a heavy shadow.
Now that Han Sui was annihilated and Liangzhou was in full control, Yan Liang intervened. Now that Wuguan was trapped and Chang'an was in danger, the army must return to rescue him. Why not just let Han Sui escape from death?
But if Han Sui does not die, relying on his prestige among the Han and Qiang tribes in Liangzhou, he is bound to make a comeback, and there will be endless troubles.
How could Cao Cao and the civil and military officials present not understand this truth?
In the silence, Youjin sneered disapprovingly.
Everyone looked around and saw that the person who was sneering was none other than Guo Jia.
"Although Wuguan is in Wuguan, if Yan Liang wants to attack Chang'an, he still needs to conquer the three counties of Shangxian, Shangluo and Lantian. These three counties are all located in the Qinling Mountains and are easy to defend but difficult to attack. With General Yuanrang's ability to use troops and the ability to stay behind Chang'an's soldiers and horses only need to stick to one of the counties, so there is nothing to fear when Yan Liangzong comes with an army that will overwhelm the country."
Guo Jia¡¯s words were like a ray of sunshine, piercing the gloom that shrouded everyone¡¯s hearts.
Cao Cao also nodded slightly, his complexion improved a lot.
Guo Jia continued: "There is no need for the Prime Minister to rush back to Chang'an. He only needs to attack Guzang with all his strength, annihilate Han Sui, and occupy the entire Liangzhou. Then he can take the completely victorious army back to Chang'an, and he will be able to do it in one fell swoop." Defeat Yan Liang and recapture Wuguan."
Guo Jia's eloquent words of confidence made Cao Cao suddenly enlightened, as if he was born with confidence, it appeared on his face again.
However, just when Cao Cao's confidence had just recovered, Liu Ye's words once again dealt a heavy blow to Cao Cao's self-confidence.
"What Fengxiao said is reasonable, but it's a pity that it's a step too late. Wenruo said in the love letter that General Yuanrang didn't listen to his advice and sent all his troops to attack Wuguan. In the end, he injured nearly a thousand soldiers and failed. After returning, we have now retreated to Shang County, and the morale of the three armies is extremely low. "
As soon as these words came out, everyone was horrified.
Cao Cao's expression changed drastically, and he said in shock: "How could Yuan Rang be so impulsive!"
Liu Ye said silently: "General Xiahou was only afraid that if Wuguan was lost, Yan Liang's troops and horses would continuously enter the pass, so he rushed to fight for Wuguan. Unexpectedly, Yan Liangjing hung General Zilian on the wall of the city. As a shield, General Xiahou had to retreat before the battle, so he was attacked by the enemy's crossbows and lost more than a thousand soldiers. "
Only then did Cao Cao suddenly realize.
"It is extremely hateful that Yan Liang, a common man, can resort to such cruel and despicable methods -"
In anger, Cao Cao gritted his teeth with hatred.
And Guo Jia, who had always been calm and composed, could not help but be shrouded in a cloud of gloom at this time.
He pondered for a long time and said solemnly: "Since General Xiahou has been defeated by Yan Liang, the soldiers and civilians in the capital are panicking. Under such circumstances, I am afraid that the Prime Minister will have to send reinforcements. Chang'an must not allow any mistakes. "
At this moment, facing the fierceness to the east, even Guo Jia was helpless.
"Yan Liang, Yan Liang¡ª¡ª"
Cao Cao¡¯s sunken eyes were filled with endless anger.
He stood at the door of the tent, looking at Guzang City from a distance, with a hint of unwillingness hidden in his angry eyes.
The heart of this burly prime minister was tortured by anger and unwillingness. After a long time, he could only sigh helplessly.
"Send an order to the entire army to withdraw."
Cao Cao finally chose to withdraw his troops helplessly, and the faces of the civil and military personnel present also showed regret.
That night, tens of thousands of Cao's troops quietly pulled out and retreated eastward.??.
Cao Cao, who had retreated, was afraid that Han Sui would come back, so he left Xia Houyuan with an army of 10,000 men to garrison in Jincheng County on the border of Yongzhou and Liangzhou. He also ordered Cao Ren to lead an army of 5,000 men and station them in Yaoshui County to prevent escape. Ma Chao, who went to Qishan, joined Zhang Lu and reentered Longxi.
Cao Cao himself led an army of 20,000 people and marched toward Chang'an at night and under the stars.
? ######Wuguan.
From the front
iAfter using Cao Hong to repel Xiahou Dun's attack and killing nearly a thousand Cao's troops with random arrows, Yan Liang has been standing still.
As for Xiahou Dun, who retreated to Shang County, he was worried about Cao Hong's life and death, and his morale was severely frustrated, so he did not dare to attack Wuguan again.
Yan Liang knew that Xiahou Dun, who was injured, was waiting for Cao Cao to return to his army.
So Yan Liang took advantage of this intermission to requisition a large number of Dingkou from Nanyang.
I worked non-stop to reinforce Guancheng, and in just over ten days, the North City of Wuguan was more than doubled in thickness.
Ten days later, news came from the scouts that Cao Cao had led his army back to Chang'an from Liangzhou and was heading south along the Dan River towards Wuguan.
Yan Liang didn¡¯t take it seriously at all, he 1
I just strengthen the city defense.
He knew very well that in order to prevent Han Sui and Ma Teng from resurrecting, Cao Cao would definitely leave a considerable number of troops in Longxi and Liangzhou. The number of reinforcements he could return was only more than 20,000 at most, plus Xiahou Dun Cao Cao's troops and horses could only be used to attack Wuguan at most 30,000.
Yan Liangguang's troops in Wuguan amounted to 10,000, and he also transferred a batch of Yuanrong company crossbows and bronze crossbow chariots from Wancheng. In addition, the northern city of Wuguan had been greatly reinforced. Strength, he was confident enough to thwart Cao Cao's attack.
Two days later, the scouts again reported that Cao Cao's army had arrived in Shang County. He then moved his troops south and set up a stronghold twenty miles north of Wuguan, forming a threatening situation.
Cao Cao is worthy of being Cao Cao. His calmness and judgment of the situation are obviously far beyond that of Xiahou Dun.
As Yan Liang expected, Cao Cao, who had forced the city to move into the stronghold, was not in a hurry to launch an attack on Wuguan. Instead, he just sent out scouts to investigate Yan Liang's situation.
Ten in a row
??i, Cao Cao is standing still.
Obviously, Cao Cao also realized through reconnaissance that although Yan Liang had few soldiers and horses, he still had the initiative by virtue of his strong bows and crossbows. A rash attack would only cause unnecessary casualties.
Cao Cao's refusal to move made Yan Liang realize that it was time to make clear his intentions with his father-in-law.
¡In the central military tent, the aroma of wine overflowed, and a small banquet was already served.
Cao Hongzhan sat next to him tremblingly. Although he was a passenger, his whole look was gloomy and he didn't even dare to breathe a sigh of relief.
Yan Liang was playing with the wine glass with a leisurely look on his face, as if he was waiting for someone to come in.
Not long after, the curtain was lifted, and a man with the same gloomy look stepped into the tent. The person who came was none other than Zhao Yan, who was also a prisoner.
Zhao Yan and Cao Hong looked at each other, the two brothers in distress had helpless expressions in their eyes.
"Zhao Yilang is here, please take a seat, come in and serve the wine." Yan Liang's attitude towards Zhao Yan was much more polite.
Zhao Yan had no choice but to sit down, facing the wine on the table, but did not dare to take a sip.
"now
I will set up a small banquet just to see you off, Zhao Yilang. Come, I will wish you a safe journey with this glass of wine. Yan Liang raised his glass and said with a smile.
Seeing off?
Zhao Yan¡¯s expression changed, and he looked confused. He looked at the wine on the table, but remained motionless.
Yan Liang ignored him and drank a drink by himself, "Why, I have already planned to let Zhao Yilang go back. Zhao Yilang still has a sullen face. Does he still want to stay here and continue to be a prisoner?"
"Let me go back!" Zhao Yan exclaimed, as if he couldn't believe what Yan Liang said.
Yan Liang said lightly: "You don't have to be so surprised. The reason why I let you go back is because I want you to bring a message to my old father-in-law, and then send him a letter along the way."
Only then did Zhao Yan realize that Yan Liang had let him go back because he wanted to use him as a messenger.
Zhao Yan was relieved of his doubts, thinking that he could regain his
You, I can¡¯t help but feel secretly happy.
His expression suddenly softened a bit, and he slightly cupped his hands and said, "I wonder if General Yan has anything to say to the Prime Minister?"
Confidence and pride emerged in Yan Liang's eyes, and he said coldly: "Go back and tell Cao Cao to capture Wuguan and capture""Hong, if his previous invasion of Nanyang was wiped out, if he had failed to understand current affairs, I would have mobilized all the troops from Jingzhou and Henan to go to Guanzhong to fight him to the death." "
The words were like blades and the sound was like thunder, which made Zhao Yan's heart tremble.
Zhao Yan, who was shocked by the intimidating force, immediately realized that what Yan Liang wanted him to convey was a threat to Cao Cao.
After being shocked for a long time, Zhao Yan finally came back to his senses, gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, and tried to remain calm, "General Yan's words will be conveyed to the Prime Minister."
Yan Liang was then satisfied and said again: "Zi Lian, don't you still have a letter you want to ask Zhao Yilang to deliver to Prime Minister Cao? Why don't you take it out quickly?"
The dejected Cao Hong was shaken, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
After hesitating for a moment, Cao Hong reluctantly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yan with difficulty as if his hands were filled with lead.
"Zhao Daru, justjust bring this letter to the Prime Minister." Cao Hong's tone was full of sadness, and he didn't dare to look at Zhao Yan, with a bit of shame in his eyes.
Zhao Yan didn¡¯t know what was in the letter, so he had to accept it with both hands with suspicion.
But Cao Hong grabbed the corner of the letter and refused to let go for a long time, as if there was something unsavory in the letter that he didn't want Cao Cao to see, but he had to show it to Cao Cao.
Yan Liang coughed several times in displeasure when he saw Cao Hong's virtuous character.
That slight cough made Cao Hong feel a flash of light on his back, and he was so panicked that he quickly let go of his hand. - Didn't finish reading?
