Chapter seven hundred and eighty seventh Huang Zu's idea, the army is coming
Chapter 787: Huang Zu’s Thoughts, When the Army Approaches Jun
"If you have something to say, a real man should say it and don't hesitate."
Huang Zu glanced at Huang She and frowned slightly.
"Father, do you think it's really good to send out all the troops now?"
Huang She clenched his fists at Huang Zu, and then said what was in his heart.
"He is right. If we can really wipe out all the 50,000-strong army of the Ministry of Civil Affairs near Shaxian, then the Battle of Jiangxia will basically be over. What reason does my father have for not sending troops?"
Facing the worried Huang She, Huang Zu smiled slightly.
"If we send troops to Anlu to fight Cai Hao in a decisive battle, we will definitely lose our troops. If Cao Cao goes north to support us at this time, we can certainly defeat Cai Hao, but we will most likely face Cao Cao's encirclement and suppression next. What should we do then?"
Huang She thought for a moment and then expressed his worries.
"Encirclement and suppression?
What I'm afraid of is that he won't take action against us."
Huang Zu's eyes burst out with light as he spoke.
"Father?
She'er doesn't understand what this means."
Hearing Huang Zu's words, Huang She was completely confused. Could it be that his father was stupid? What the hell is this?
"Haha, if Cao Cao will not send troops to us under such circumstances, it proves that he is not a hero, and there is no hope for us to take refuge in him.
If he takes action against us, it proves that this person is a hero. Only such people can go further in these troubled times, so it doesn't matter if I, Huang Zu, surrender to him, Cao Cao."
Huang Zu's words immediately shocked Huang She. He didn't expect that his father would have such thoughts. It really subverted his world view. However, I have to say that Huang Zu's statement was correct. There is no way out for the righteous and peaceful people in troubled times.
Yes, only heroes can fight their way out.
"So the child understands."
After thinking about it, Huang She rushed to Huang Zu and clasped his fists again.
"Well, then prepare your troops and prepare to send troops to Anlu. I want to see why Cai Mao keeps pressing on my head, Huang Zu."
"promise."
Huang Zu gave an order, and soldiers and horses gathered in Xiling City. The 50,000-strong army was ready and was only waiting to leave Xiling in ten days to attack Anlu.
The entire Jiangxia County was mobilized frequently. After the scouts sent by Wenpin to Anlu returned, the 50,000-strong army abandoned E County and evacuated towards Shaxian. Xiahou Yuan finally arrived outside Xiajun after a day of sleepless marching.
"The flags are flying more often, the cavalry's horses' tails are wrapped around the branches, and they run back and forth and stir up the wind and sand."
After arranging the suspicious soldiers, Xia Houyuan directly led five thousand troops to the outside of Xiajun City.
"who?"
When Xiahou Yuan's defenders saw Xia Houyuan, they bent their bows and drew arrows.
"I am Xia Houyuan, the magical general under the command of Grand Administrator Cao. My lord, in the name of Liu Jingzhou, has come to recover Changsha County. If you are wise, you should quickly attack the city. Otherwise, if a hundred thousand troops arrive, they will definitely wash out the whole of Xiajun."
When the soldiers and horses on the city heard Xia Houyuan's words, they seemed to be listening to a book from heaven. When did Cao Cao arrive in Changsha and obey Liu Biao's orders? This is nothing. But looking at the smoke and dust in the distance, the soldiers on the city wall
They are also extremely frightened. If the opponent really has an army of 100,000, then it will be impossible to resist it with only the thousands of soldiers and horses in his own city.
"General, please wait a moment. I will report to my lord right away."
The soldiers and horses on the city wall did not dare to neglect and directly clasped their fists at Xia Houyuan.
"Okay, go quickly."
Xia Houyuan glanced disdainfully at the soldiers and horses on the city wall.
"Thank you, sir."
The soldiers descended directly from the city wall and ran towards the county magistrate.
"What did you say?
Cao Cao came to Xiajun with an army of 100,000, or was he following the orders of Liu Zhoumu?"
When the county magistrate heard what the soldiers said, he was immediately dumbfounded. Didn't he get the news?
How can this be done?
"County magistrate, now is not the time to panic. What we need to do first is to stabilize Cao's army outside the city, and then send people to go north immediately to verify what is going on."
The county magistrate glanced at the panicked county magistrate and directly stated his countermeasures.
"Now that Cao's army is right in front of us, it will take several days to get to Linxiang from here. How can we delay it?"
The county magistrate also knows that he must delay now, but how?
Time waits for no one.
"Just count how many days it can take. If Cao Cao really came under Lord Zhou Mu's order, he would definitely not send troops easily. If he is a traitor, he will definitely attack the city immediately. By then, with our strength, we will not be able to resist it.
, just surrender when the time comes."
The county magistrate thought for a while and gave the county magistrate an answer in his heart. If Cao Cao really came under Liu Biao's order, he would never attack the city rashly. If not, then he came to attack Changsha. He is a small person.
The county portrait is also a matter of course.
"Okay, I will do as you say and follow me to the city wall immediately."
The county magistrate nodded after hearing the county magistrate's words, and then led the magistrate directly to the top of Xiajun's city.
The county magistrate looked down from the city wall and saw Xia Houyuan's 5,000-strong army with uniform armor and a murderous look. He looked like elite men. Looking at the dusty sky in the distance, he knew without even thinking that it was the dust trampled by the march of the army.
"I am Gu Ke, the magistrate of Xiajun County. I am here to meet General Xia Houyuan."
The county magistrate stood on the city wall and saluted Xia Houyuan with clasped fists.
"How is it? Have you received the news that my lord has taken over Changsha County on the order of Liu Jingzhou?"
Xia Houyuan brandished his gun and pointed it directly at the magistrate on the city wall.
"Coca is scared. I haven't received the order yet. If the general is not in a hurry, please allow me two days. I believe the order will be here soon."
Seeing Xia Houyuan raise his gun, Gu Ke's heart skipped a beat and he quickly explained to him.
"Okay, General, I won't embarrass you, a small county magistrate, but my army is approaching and lacks food and grass. Please send some as soon as possible."
Xia Houyuan glanced at the county magistrate and knew that he wanted to delay him, but that was not his intention. He could delay it if he could.
"That's natural, though."
When he heard that Xia Houyuan asked for food and grass, Gu Ke frowned slightly. Although he said that he could not resist the enemy, he was afraid of leaving anyone behind in Kaicheng now.
"I know what you mean. I, the general, will leave first. You can just leave the food and grass outside the city. I will send troops to get it later."
Xia Houyuan immediately guessed what Coca meant, and after saying that, he led his troops away from the city wall and ran towards the distance.
"Quickly order people to prepare food and fodder, and also send people to Linxiang immediately to tell the prefect about the arrival of Cao Cao's 100,000 troops in Xiajun."
"promise."
A fast horse rode out of the city from the west gate and ran straight to Linxiang, the Changsha county seat. The city also prepared a lot of grain and grass to send out of the city gate for Xiahou Yuan to collect.
The scouts traveled day and night, not daring to stop, and arrived in Linxiang in three days.
"What did you say?
Cao Cao led one hundred thousand troops to Xiajun?
And you said you were following Liu Jingzhou’s order?”
Su Dai, the governor of Changsha, was stunned when he received the report from the scouts. He was not notified at all. Why did Cao Cao pop up like this?
"Sir, Cao's army is powerful. What we have to do now is to send people to Xiangyang immediately to ask Liu Jingzhou clearly.
If it is really Cao Cao who he canonized, then he will naturally gather troops to resist. After all, we captured Changsha from the Yellow Turbans. He is not qualified to come to Changsha to dictate.
If Cao Cao is pretending to be the leader, then Liu Biao must immediately lead his troops south to fight against Cao Cao with us."
Changsha Sima Zhangda was stunned when he heard this, but now is not the time to be stunned. The most important thing is to contact Liu Biao quickly to find out what is going on.
"Well, send a fast horse to Xiangyang immediately. I want to see if Liu Biao has ulterior motives or if Cao Cao is playing tricks. At the same time, I will order the troops to gather and go to Xiajun."
Su Dai was certainly not a mediocre person when he was able to save Changsha County during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Hearing Sima's words, he immediately ordered troops to go to Xiajun. At the same time, a wave of fast horses set off from Linxiang and headed north directly towards Xiangyang.
