Chapter 418

Three thousand soldiers are lost!

This number directly hurt Cao Ren.

Since the withdrawal of Cao Cao, Cao Ren's march in the war has been quite steady, carefully reorganizing the soldiers, trying to restore the combat effectiveness as soon as possible. No, the number and combat effectiveness of his soldiers have just recovered, and they have won a small battle before. They are already happy in their hearts.

However, not long after that, three thousand soldiers were completely destroyed.

This result is hard for Cao Ren to accept.

"Newspaper!"

Suddenly, outside the hall, another soldier ran in quickly.

The soldiers entered the hall, knelt down on one knee and reported: "general, the Jingzhou soldiers who attacked Xinye county have withdrawn. Now, the crisis in Xinye county has been lifted. "

Cao Ren asked, "did they defeat the Jingzhou soldiers, or did they take the initiative to retreat?"

The soldier replied, "it was the Jingzhou soldiers who took the initiative to withdraw. According to the estimation of the magistrate of Xinye County, if the Jingzhou soldiers attacked Xinye County for another two days, it would be enough to capture Xinye county. But in the end, the Jingzhou soldiers withdrew."

"Is that the case?"

When Cao Ren heard the speech, his eyes narrowed.

"I see!"

Suddenly, Xu Huang spoke.

Cao Ren looked at Xu Huang and asked, "Gongming, what do you understand?"

Xu Huang said: "Zhang Ren's purpose this time is not Xinye, but our reinforcements. In other words, Zhang Ren's strategy this time is to encircle the site and help, aiming at our reinforcements. Zhang Ren destroyed our reinforcements and naturally gave up attacking Xinye county. Perhaps in Zhang Ren's view, to win a Xinye county is far better than to defeat 3000 troops. "

When Cao Ren heard the speech, he was also shocked.

He was also a soldier, and knew the main points of marching and fighting.

Xu Huang a point, Cao Ren immediately understand.

However, Cao Ren's mind suddenly raised doubts and said: "Gongming, Zhang Ren's strategy is good, but it's very difficult to succeed in the strategy of encircling and supporting. Among them, first, he must know that we will have reinforcements to support us. After all, Xinye county did not send troops for help, so he could not know what we were going to send troops at this time. Second, he must know our march route and be able to determine the location of the ambush. Third, it is not easy for him to sneak into Xinye from Chaoyang County. If we don't know the situation of our troops, it's hard to avoid the inspection of the army and the search of spies. "

After hearing this, Xu Huang's eyes narrowed.

Cao Ren's words are full of words.

Such words, Xu Huang is not suitable to continue to say, simply did not speak.

Cao Ren's eyes suddenly fell on Jia Xu and asked, "Mr. Jia, do you have anything to say?"

Jia Xu said faintly: "I didn't participate in this battle from the beginning to the end. Now that general Cao is defeated, what can I say? Is general Cao's March too hasty? "

When Cao Ren heard the speech, there was a trace of anger in his eyes.

Cao Ren said: "this general suspected that you and Liu Xiu colluded and sold the intelligence."

"Joke!"

Jia Xu's eyes narrowed and said coldly, "general Cao, you can eat whatever you like, but you can't talk nonsense. Please pay attention to your words

In Cao Ren's mind, he had already had an opinion on Jia Xu.

Now tear the face, is no longer scruples.

Cao Ren said coldly, "at the beginning, Liu Xiu sent Huo Jun to Wan county to see you. What did you talk about with Huo Jun? Ben will not know. The letter Liu Xiu wrote to you was covered with ink. I didn't know it. But since that day, you have been very strange. In your words, you even have a lot of protection for Liu Xiu. What do you say about that? "

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "I am loyal to the prime minister. I have never been sorry for him. You know that Liu Xiu sent Huo Jun to solicit me. At that time, you also heard what Huo Jun said. "

Cao Ren snorted: "Huo Jun naturally tried every means to excuse you, and when it was time, your conversation was over. The information that Ben will know is also limited. "

Jia Xu said: "since the information you know is limited, please don't let the general talk about it."

Cao Ren continued: "well, about the last battle, it was a stable victory, but you can't persuade it. In the end, Ben insisted on sending troops and won. This time, Liu Xiu actually aimed at the general's reinforcements, but he was doomed to lose, but you didn't say a word. "

After a pause, Cao Ren said, "I have asked you, but you still don't speak. Don't you already know that Liu xiubu is ambushing. In other words, Liu Xiu's ambush can arrive easily, and he can easily know that he will send reinforcements. All of these are contributed by you. Jia Wenhe, if it wasn't for you, how could Liu Xiu ambush these 3000 soldiers? "

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said, "if you want to add to the crime, why don't you say so? General Cao insisted on adding the news of 3000 soldiers' defeat to me."

Cao Ren said, "this is the truth."

Jia Xu said with a sneer, "you know the truth best."Cao Ren added: "if it wasn't for you, it would never have caused the current situation. The only possibility is that you collude with Liu Xiu, or have already invested in Liu Xiu. Anyway, you are the most suspect. Ben will not kill you. He will let the prime minister deal with you. "

"Somebody

Cao Ren's eyes were cold and he gave a loud drink.

In an instant, two soldiers rushed in from outside the hall.

When Jia Xu saw this scene, he stood up and scolded: "who dares to take me?"

Cao Ren said: "Jia Xu, if you resist, there will be no amnesty for killing!"

Cold words, cold eyes, and that deep in the eyes, a glimmer of hatred, all reflected in the eyes.

When Jia Xu saw the soldiers coming and looked at Cao Ren again, he suddenly sneered and said, "the prime minister always said that Cao Ren has a good command of both literature and martial arts. Now it seems that he is just a man. It's not worth mentioning. If the prime minister asks you to stay in Nanyang County, you have chosen the wrong person. "

These words stimulated Cao Ren's anger.

"Take it down, put it in jail, and never release it without the general's order."

In Cao Ren's eyes, there was a flash of killing intention.

If it wasn't for Cao Cao's attitude towards Jia Xu, he would kill him now.

When the soldier came, Jia Xu brushed his sleeve and said, "step back, I can walk by myself." Holding his head high, he left the hall, leaving behind the officials.

When Jia Xu left, the atmosphere in the hall was still a little stalemate.

Cao Ren said: "this time, the soldiers who have lost their troops will be recruited again immediately. In addition, we should pay close attention to Zhang Ren's trend. In addition, we will deal with Jia Xu's affairs separately. "

When they heard the speech, they all nodded and said yes, but they did not speak.

Cao Ren asked everyone to step down, leaving only Xu Huang.

Cao Ren asked: "Gongming, Jia Xu is arrogant and arrogant, and now he colludes with Liu Xiu. What do you say to do?"

Xu Huang said: "brother Zixiao, Jia Xu is, after all, the confidant of the prime minister. If you treat Jia Xu too much, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for the prime minister to pass. In my opinion, we should report truthfully and do what we should do. "

After hearing this, Cao Ren nodded and said, "Gongming has a point. This is what we should do. However, this will believe that Jia Xu is definitely related to Liu Xiu. Otherwise, he should never have behaved like this in these two wars. "

Xu Huang nodded, but did not answer.

After Xu Huang retired, Cao Ren and others began to write the war report, describing Liu Xiu's contact with Jia Xu in detail from the first war to the second war.

Between the pen and ink, there is also a lot of suspicion and distrust of Jia Xu.

After finishing his writing, Cao Ren reviewed it again and found that he had brought in too many personal opinions, so he simply wrote it again. After finishing the writing, check it again and find that it is still the same.

Not satisfied twice in a row, Cao Ren wrote a letter alone, which was his suspicion of Jia Xu.

Then, it is the real war report, which does not involve any emotion.

After the two letters were packed, Cao Ren called for the soldiers and ordered them to rush to Xu county immediately to present the letter to Cao Cao, asking him to decide what happened in Nanyang County.
