At the same time that Xu Huang occupied Hongnong County, Gao Fei led an army to occupy the Wei army's camp in Niujiatun. Judging from the mess in the camp, the Wei army evacuated in a hurry and did not even have time to dismantle the camp.
, even some of the guys who were eating didn't take it away.
In the past two days, Gao Fei has received many messages from flying pigeons, all of which were sent back by Jia Xu, Zang Ba, Han Meng and others from the Eastern Front battlefield.
First, Jia Xu lured Zhu Ling to surrender in Jinan and occupied the entire territory of Qingzhou. Then Zang Ba occupied the entire territory of Xuzhou with the support of the local people in Xuzhou who rebelled against the Wei army. Both news inspired Gao Fei and others on the Western Front battlefield.
Endless.
However, the news about Han Meng was not optimistic. One day ago, Han Meng led his army to attack Dingtao and fell into Xun Yu's trick. Not only did he lose his troops, but he was also almost killed. Currently, he and Xun Yu were in a standoff, and the two sides were in a stalemate.
After Gao Fei received the news from the eastern front, he could no longer sit still. After delaying for a few more days, he asked Chen Dao to lead his army to Zhongmu County to guard against Ma Chao, who had not retreated at Hulao Pass, and he led
Eighty thousand horse infantry troops began to march eastward.
The breeze in the evening brought a bit of coolness to people. Gao Fei took off his armor and sat in the big tent dressed in fine clothes, quietly waiting for the arrival of Xun You and Guo Jia.
Not long after, Xun You and Guo Jia came in from outside the tent. As soon as they entered the tent, they hurriedly raised their hands to Gao Fei and said: "My lord, Xu You has been found..."
"Oh? Where has he been hiding these past few days?" Gao Fei has been wondering these past few days. He has never seen Xu You. He asked many people in succession and they all said they had never seen him. Even if they had seen him, they were in
When Cao Hong led his troops to attack the county seat of Juan County, Xu You seemed to have disappeared from the world, with no news.
Guo Jia and Xun You looked at each other with a trace of embarrassment on their faces.
When Gao Fei saw it, he asked sharply: "Where did Xu Ziyuan go? Tell me!"
Guo Jiadao: "Lord, Xu You...he has passed away."
"Died? How could he die?" Gao Fei knew that Xu You was a man who would not take the initiative to do dangerous things. Saving his life was the first priority, so he was shocked by the news of Xu You's death.
Xun You said: "My lord, Xu You has indeed passed away. His body was found in a corner in Juan County. He was killed by an arrow, piercing his heart."
Gao Fei asked curiously: "Why is it like this?"
"This is what happened..." Guo Jia slowly told the truth as he found out.
It turned out that three days ago, when Cao Hong led his army to attack Juan County, Xun Chen, Wei Yan, and Chu Yan were all on the tower commanding the soldiers to defend the city. Xu You himself hid in a corner of the city, thinking that he would be safe.
Worry. Who knows
The county town of Daojuan County is too small, but an arrow shot by someone who didn't know happened to fly over the city wall and landed directly on Xu You. Coincidentally, it was impartial and it just happened to be inserted into Xu You's heart.
, he died immediately.
Later, due to the fierce fighting, the number of people dying in the city gradually increased. The soldiers who transported the corpses had long been numb. They carried away the corpses whenever they saw them. They took Xu You's corpses away and piled them on the mountain of corpses until
Xu You's death was discovered the next day when they were burying the bodies one by one.
Xun Chen was shocked at the time and sent a flying pigeon message to Gao Fei, reporting the news of Xu You's death. Unexpectedly, the pigeon encountered a raptor halfway through the flight and was eaten alive by the raptor. Xun Chen thought Gao Fei already knew
Regarding this matter, Gao Fei thought that Xu You was missing. It was not until Guo Jia sent someone to Juan County to inquire that he found out that Xu You had been dead for two days.
After listening to Guo Jia's words, Gao Fei sighed and said: "It's really unpredictable. I didn't expect Xu You to be so unlucky. In this case, record Xu You's death first, and then destroy the Wei State."
I will provide unified compensation to the family members of the deceased."
"Nuo!" Xun You and Guo Jia also felt sorry for Xu You's death. Although Xu You was not a very good person, at least Xu You was resourceful and could come up with several good ideas at critical moments. How could he be such a good person?
People, if they say they will die, they will die.
The atmosphere in the big tent was low, and the three people were all touched by the impermanence of life.
After a long time, Gao Fei first broke the silence and said: "Sit down, I called you here this time, mainly to discuss how to destroy Wei. Han Meng suffered a defeat in Dingtao, losing more than 10,000 people, and he almost died.
I'd like to hear what you think of Xun Yu's vicious plan?"
Xun You is Xun Yu's nephew. Hearing that Han Meng suffered a defeat, he felt uncomfortable. He couldn't help but frowned and thought secretly: "The day has finally arrived. It seems that the showdown with my uncle is inevitable.
…”
"Now that Qingzhou and Xuzhou have been occupied, my lord can make Zang Ba the general of Zhendong, the governor of Xuzhou, the governor of Qingzhou, and the governor of Qingzhou and Xuzhou. Zang Ba is well-known in Qingzhou and Xuzhou. This time he
capable soldier
The victory of Xuzhou without bloodshed is also related to his reputation in Xuzhou. Moreover, Xuzhou is located next to Soochow, so someone must guard it, and no one except Zang Ba's army can take on this responsibility. This is my humble opinion...
"Guo Jia said first.
Gao Fei said: "Just what I want, Chen Kongzhang!"
Chen Lin walked in from outside the tent, clasped her fists and said, "What are your orders, my lord?"
"Immediately draw up a document and make Zang Ba the general of Zhendong, the governor of Xuzhou and the governor of Qingzhou, and make him the governor of Qingzhou and Xuzhou. In addition, let Zang Ba recruit brave soldiers on the spot to defend Qingzhou and Xuzhou!" Gao Fei said loudly.
Chen Lin said "Promise" and immediately left the tent and went back to write the imperial edict.
Gao Fei glanced at Xun You, who was frowning, and said: "Gongda, according to the report from the scouts, Cao Cao has retreated to Chenliu. There are currently 40,000 troops assembled in Chenliu. The matters regarding Dingtao will be left to the Eastern Front.
Jia Xu and Han Meng will do it. Just give me some advice and stay on the Western Front. Do you have any good plans to capture Cao Cao now?"
Xun You was very grateful to Gao Fei. It was easy to hear from his voice that he deliberately wanted to keep him on the Western Front and did not want him to deal with Xun Yu, so as not to embarrass him too much. His frown slowly relaxed
, said to Gao Fei: "Master, now the Wei army still has room for maneuver, our army
On the western front, only 80,000 soldiers and horses could be mobilized. Chen Dao led 10,000 troops and was stationed in Zhongmu County. Xun Chen led 20,000 soldiers and the women's army. Although the Qin army's surrender troops were incorporated, they were not very reliable and had to be watched by someone.
Yes, and he has the important responsibility of taking care of food and grass, and he cannot be easily transferred."
"Well, keep talking."
Xun You went on to say: "The Wei army still has 10,000 troops in Yingchuan, plus the 10,000 troops fighting in Dingtao, the total strength of the Wei army is 60,000, and 80,000 are used against 60,000. Although it is more than enough, it still has a lot of strength."
One battle would not lead to total annihilation. Moreover, Chenliu was an important town in Cao Wei and the city defense was strong. If we attacked forcefully, we would definitely suffer heavy losses. My subordinates thought that it would be better not to do anything.
Attack Chenliu, assign generals to attack Yuzhou and other counties in Yanzhou, and surround Cao Cao in Chenliu from the outside. In this way, Cao Cao is left with only one isolated city. If he divides his troops to seize other cities, our army can concentrate its superior forces on each city.
Defeat it and consume the Wei army's strength. In less than a month, we will be able to delay the Wei army to death without any effort."
"Brilliant plan! What a brilliant plan. This is a guerrilla tactic. When the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we fight. This is perfect for our army." Gao Fei laughed.
Xun You added: "However... Cao Cao, unlike others, must be able to see the purpose of my doing this. Just in case, he will most likely abandon Chen Liu and go south to Yuzhou. In comparison, Yingchuan
The county is far richer than Chenliu, and there is a lot of food and grass in Yingchuan County. Cao Cao will definitely go to Yingchuan for a long-term plan. If Cao Cao escapes from the encirclement in time, then this strategy will not have the greatest effect, and he can only think of something else.
He's done it."
Guo Jia nodded and said: "In addition, we must prevent the Chu army from causing trouble from behind. My subordinates believe that Yuzhou is really important, so they should send a general to garrison Runan as soon as possible, or attack Yingchuan in advance and capture Yingchuan County.
, cut off Cao Cao's return route, and surrounded and killed him in the Chenliu area."
After hearing this, Gao Fei stood up and said loudly: "Immediately order Huang Zhong to lead an army of 10,000 to attack Runan; let Zhang Liao lead an army of 10,000 to attack Yingchuan; Zhang He to lead an army of 10,000 to attack Chenjun, Liangjun, and Qiaojun.
, ask Zang Ba to cooperate; Taishi Ci leads an army of 10,000 to attack Junyi; the rest will all follow me to the east and attack Kaifeng directly."
"promise!"
After the order was issued, Xun You and Guo Jia went to convey the order respectively. Not long after they left, Zhao Yun walked in.
"Zilong, sit next to me!" As soon as Gao Fei saw Zhao Yun come in, he hurriedly sat down, patted the seat next to him, and said to Zhao Yun.
After Zhao Yun bowed, he walked straight to Gao Fei, sat down next to Gao Fei, and asked, "I wonder why the Lord called me?"
"What did you do during the meeting in Liuzihe the day before yesterday?"
"My subordinates have gone to bury General Dian Wei. I'm really sorry for not being able to attend the meeting."
Gao Fei said: "Dead people cannot be resurrected. You and I have given Dian Wei a chance, but he didn't cherish it. I know that if Dian Wei dies, you will have one less opponent. However, there is not everyone in the world who can't do it.
Your opponents, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Xu Chu, Sun Ce, etc., are all brave
In fact, you are not lonely, fierce fellow. If you feel lonely, why not try to compete with Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, Gan Ning and others. I also want to see who is the real number one in my army.
Master. In addition, I have something to tell you. I wonder if you will agree to it?"
"What's the matter?" Zhao Yun and Gao Fei have been together for so long, and they have already become brothers, so in private, the two of them talk about everything. When he heard Gao Fei comforting him all the time, he felt that Gao Fei
You really understand yourself.
"You promise first, and then I'll say it."
"Then I agree."
"Hahaha... Okay, very good. Then I congratulate you, because I have betrothed Huang Zhong's daughter Huang Wudie to you, and you happened to agree..."
"How... is... this?" Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment.
"I've seen Miss Huang. She's quite beautiful, and she's also a general in the Detachment of Women. General Huang also agreed. You're already a grown-up, I have three children, and you're still single. How can this be okay? Wait.
After destroying Wei State, I will arrange your marriage. I think this matter will definitely become a good story."
Zhao Yun blushed, not because he was unwilling, but because it happened too suddenly, but to be honest, Huang Wudie was indeed very beautiful. He nodded and said softly: "Everything is entirely up to the master.
"
Gao Fei laughed and said: "Okay, okay, so I can give an explanation to General Huang. Zilong, you go back and prepare first. Tonight, we will set off and start attacking Chenliu."
