Chapter 417

After Zhang Ren listened, his eyes showed an excited look.

Finally, it's the moment!

Before, he sent soldiers to deliver the failure, and his heart was very upset. Even though we know that this is deliberately let Cao Ren win, let Cao Ren proud for a while, but there is always a knot in my heart.

Now, at last, it's time to March normally.

In this war, we must let Cao Ren have a taste of his strength and let him know the strength of his fifth army.

Zhang Ren zhengse said: "Lord, please order. The soldiers in the army have already been unable to restrain themselves. They are all clamoring for revenge."

Wei Yan said: "it's time for Cao Ren to fight back."

Liu Xiu ordered: "Zhang Ren listens to the order!"

"The end will be here!"

Zhang Ren stood up with sharp eyes. He couldn't wait.

Liu xiudao: "act according to the plan!"

"No!"

Zhang Ren should be boxing, and Wei Yan looked at each other, the two turned back.

Pang Tong said with a smile: "Lord, success or failure depends on this. It depends on whether Jia Xu has fallen into the trap."

Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Jia Xu's character is self-protection. He blocked Cao Ren last time, but Cao Ren forced his troops to win, so that Cao Ren had more opinions on Jia Xu. Now, when there is another war in Xinye, Cao Ren will send troops again. He will be silent and will not express his opinions. "

Pang Tong said: "in this way, we will wait and see."

Liu Xiu and Pang Tong deduced Jia Xu's character and ways of doing things according to various materials.

Then, we made a plan for Jia Xu.

Now that the plan has come to this stage, Jia Xu is hard to choose.

In half a day, Zhang Ren mobilized 5000 troops to Xinye county. This time, Zhang Ren did not hide his troops, but sent them openly.

The news soon spread to Wan county.

When Cao Ren got the news, he immediately invited Xu Huang and Jia Xu to the hall of the government.

Cao Ren said: "Zhang Ren was defeated last time, but he was not reconciled. This time, he had already sent 5000 troops to Xinye county. How do you think about this war? "

Xu Huang said: "Zhang Ren sent troops to attack Xinye county. We certainly can't sit back and ignore him. In this case, we must send troops to the rescue. "

Jia Xu sat on the right side, but he didn't speak.

Cao Ren never let Jia Xu go and asked, "how did Mr. Jia think about it?"

Jia Xu said: "report back to the general. I respect the general's opinion."

A word is neither humble nor arrogant, but it is equivalent to saying nothing and not participating in the war at all.

As a matter of fact, Jia Xu thinks that it is necessary to send troops, but he always thinks that Zhang Ren's actions are unusual. However, Cao Ren has a prejudice against him, so he is too lazy to put forward his own opinions.

Cao Ren said: "Mr. Jia is very resourceful. Now Jingzhou soldiers are attacking, how can you not put forward your own ideas?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "I really can't think of anything."

Cao Ren said, "well, since Mr. Jia doesn't want to talk, that's OK."

After a pause, Cao Ren looked at Xu Huang and said, "Gongming, Jingzhou soldiers are approaching Xinye. They must be rescued. Now, you immediately send 3000 soldiers from the army to support

"No!"

Xu Huang nods and answers, then turns to go down.

Jia Xu arched his hand and said, "general Cao, if nothing happens, I will go down."

"Yes

Cao Ren nodded and didn't stop him.

Jia Xu bowed his hand, stood up and left.

Cao Ren stared at Jia Xu's back, but narrowed his eyes and said: "Jia Xu, Jia Xu, recently, you are more and more presumptuous. Are you really going to turn your back on the prime minister

For Jia Xu's action, Cao Ren is also very dissatisfied.

However, Cao Ren has not grasped the handle now, so what can he do to Jia Xu?

Jia Xu left the government office with a lonely expression. Now Cao Ren is aiming at him everywhere, which makes him rather difficult. However, such a thing is obviously not suitable for Cao Cao's ears, otherwise it will cause disputes between him and Cao Ren.

Cao Ren and Jia Xu parted unhappily, but the news of Xu Huang's going out to lead the army was not a secret, and he did not hide it. Soon he was heard by his family, and then spread it out.

When the royal guards got the news, they immediately sent a letter back to Chaoyang County.

When Liu Xiu got the news, he let go of all his worries. As long as Jia Xu didn't put forward any suggestions, neither obstructed nor participated in the war, that would be the best result.

Pang Tong arched his hand and said, "Lord, everything is as planned. This battle will be won. Congratulations, Lord."

Liu xiudao: "Shiyuan, you also participated in the formulation of the plan. You are also responsible for winning this battle. Since it's a happy event, it's the same thing. "Pang Tong nodded, his face also showed a brilliant smile.

……

Zhang Ren dispatched 5000 soldiers to Xinye county and launched an attack. In this attack, the weapons are stronger and the soldiers are more aggressive. Xinye county was attacked and resisted, waiting for reinforcements from Wan county.

Liuhe mountain is located 26 miles north of Xinye county.

This place has been stained with countless wind and frost.

Liuhe mountain is a typical mountain situation, with steep cliffs on both sides and withered trees standing on the mountain. The real official road is located in the middle of the steep mountain.

Cao Ren's 3000 reinforcements going south are bound to pass through the central government.

However, on this important road, Cao Ren had already sent troops to stay in the valley along the way to avoid being ambushed by Jingzhou soldiers. So when the army entered the ancient road of Liuhe mountain, without any worries, they went straight south.

Three thousand soldiers made their way and soon entered the center of the mountain road.

"Kill, kill Cao Jun."

At this time, on the slope above Liuhe mountain, an army suddenly came out.

This army all fired rockets from both sides of the mountain road into the Valley Road. At this time, it was cold winter. The weather was dry and there were many dead branches and leaves in the valley. When the Rockets were thrown into the Valley Road, the fire immediately started.

At the same time, pots of fire oil were thrown down the hillside.

The jar fell to the ground and broke.

The fire oil flowed everywhere. After being ignited by the burning rocket, the fire was even higher and more turbulent. In a moment, the ancient road in Liuhe mountain turned into a sea of fire.

Even the soldiers stationed in the mountains were all affected.

The general in charge was completely confused. He couldn't figure out how Jingzhou soldiers could get in when Mingming Liuhe had troops stationed in the mountain. It was just incredible.

However, it's too late to think about it.

"Retreat, retreat!" roared the general

The team kept retreating, but the ancient road in the mountain was burning. Whether it was advancing or retreating, it was a raging sea of fire.

This situation is quite dangerous.

The general can only lead the soldiers to break through quickly and strive to break out.

A group of soldiers on the mountain, after seeing a sea of fire at the foot of the mountain, had quietly left.

The fire is burning. The fire is strong.

Finally, the general led more than 100 soldiers to escape.

The rest of the soldiers, all buried in the sea of fire.

In fact, many soldiers died in the sea of fire because they were crowded with each other during the retreat, resulting in trampling on each other and unable to retreat in time.

The general stood outside the ancient road, looking at the burning fire, his eyes full of helplessness.

This time, the loss is too great.

The general also has no way, now cannot rescue temporarily, he can only withdraw. The general led his troops to retreat to Wan county. The Cao army began to retreat, and the Jingzhou soldiers who attacked Xinye county also began to retreat and gave up the attack.

……

Yamen, hall.

The magistrate of Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Jia Xu and WAN County, the guests and the hosts were seated.

In the middle of the hall stood the main general who had escaped.

Cao Ren's eyes were sharp, and he asked in a deep voice, "what's the matter? Why did 3000 soldiers only come back more than 100?"

The general replied, "report back to the general. When the general led his troops 26 li away from Xinye County, they passed Liuhe mountain and were ambushed by Jingzhou soldiers. At that time, Jingzhou soldiers actually projected rockets and earthenware pots filled with fire oil from the hillsides on both sides of Liuhe mountain. The whole valley road was ablaze, and the 3000 soldiers under the general could not escape, so that the whole army was destroyed. "

After hearing this, Cao Ren clenched his fist and looked angry in his eyes.
