Chapter 363 Execution of Generals (9) 1/7
Dianman, the son of Dian Wei.
In the Battle of Wancheng, Dian Wei fought to the death in the camp in order to cover Cao Cao's evacuation, but his corpse was gone.
Cao Cao was grateful to Dian Wei Zhongyi, so he adopted Dian Wei's son at home to take care of him. Dian Man was one year older than Cao Zhang and was only sixteen years old. Dian Man inherited his father's divine power, but Dian Man did not learn the skills of the pair of double iron halberds. Cao Cao also found many teachers for him, but failed to teach Dian Man successfully. Later, Xu Ding found a master and taught Dian Man a set of axes. Dian Man was quite attentive to this and quickly practiced the axes. After Cao Zhanghui came, he taught Liu Chuang two changes in the nine changes of dragon and snake to Dian Man, which made Dian Man's martial arts become more and more powerful, and also made Cao Cao quite pleased.
But who would have expected that Dian Man would also run away with Cao Zhang!
Xun Yu felt like a big head, and he lost his mind for a moment.
These three boys were a little too brave. They had only left a letter when they went to Jizhou to participate in the war.
The situation in Jizhou is now very complicated.
No one can tell when the next round of attacks of the Han army will be launched.
In other words, because Cheng Yu's unauthorized battle has already made the Jizhou situation in danger. Cao Zhang and the other two went to Jizhou, and if they were not good, they might have their lives. If this happens, I'm afraid that Xun Yu and Mrs. Bian will be blamed...
Thinking of this, Xun Yu gently rubbed his temples and said nothing for a while.
Cao Zhang has a criminal record... When Cao Xian got married, the boy sneaked into the army without saying a word and accompanied Cao Xian to Youzhou. Now, this guy is using his old trick again. But this time he is not alone, but he also takes Guo Yi and Dian Man with him.
With the courage of Cao Zhang and Dianman and Guo Yi's head, there will generally be no accidents.
But the problem is, they are going to Jizhou!
Xun Yu had a premonition that the situation in Jizhou would change soon.
Cao Zhang and the other two passed by at this time. It was definitely not safe... But now, Xun Yu had no choice. Cao Zhang and the other three had already left for a day, and Cao Zhang also learned Liu Chuang's trick. He rode two people on one person and couldn't even catch up. Calculate the time. If they set out early in the morning, it would probably have passed the gap at this time. Arrive in Fengqiu soon. If they didn't rest, they might be able to arrive in Yanjin in the second half of the night.
Even if Xun Yu sent someone to chase him now, he would probably not be able to stop them from crossing the river.
Once you cross the river and enter Jizhou, it may be even more difficult to find the three of them.
"Madam, don't panic. Ziwen and the others walked together. I guess they would not encounter any danger.
I will send someone to catch up with Zike and ask him to inform Li Yang for 600 miles to intercept Ziwen and the other two... Besides, with Ziwen and Dianman's courage and Bo Yi's head, it is unlikely that there will be danger. Once they are found, they will be sent back immediately."
Now, there seems to be no other way.
Mrs. Bian also knew that even if he continued to force Xun Yu, Xun Yu probably wouldn't come up with any other idea.
Hope to catch up with them...
Mrs. Bian gritted her teeth and made up her mind: Once Cao Zhang and the other three were brought back, they would send him to Hailing and let his brother take care of him! This child is too bold... Jizhou, that's Jizhou! Your father can't get any benefits. What's the use of you? Do you think your brother-in-law can handle it? If he is easy to deal with, your father wouldn't be still in Guanzhong at this time.
However, when thinking of Liu Chuang, Mrs. Bian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief again.
Liu Chuang seems to love Ziwen very much, so he may not really hurt him...
At this time, Mrs. Bian could only comfort herself in this way.
She also knew that she had disturbed Xun Yu's office, so she said to Mrs. Xun: "Sister, let's leave this matter to Wenruo. It's useless for us to stay here, but it will affect his handling of official duties. It's better to go to my house to rest, so that we can be a companion."
Mrs. Xun thought about it and felt that Mrs. Bian was right.
It's useless for them to stay here.
Although I was still anxious in my heart, I thought that after Guo Yi was with Cao Zhangdianman, Mrs. Xun felt much more relieved.
"Wenruo, then I'll ask you!"
Mrs. Bian took Mrs. Xun away, but left Xun Yu and Zao Zhi to look at each other.
The two of them looked at me, and I looked at you... they didn't know what to do.
"Wenruo, otherwise I would write another letter to Chang'an? Such a big thing would not be hidden from my lord, don't you think?"
After hearing this, Xun Yu nodded with a wry smile.
"Then it's annoying to work hard."
After he finished speaking, he slowly walked out of the gate of the yamen hall, stood on the steps outside the yamen hall, and looked up at the sky.
I don’t know when a dark cloud floated.
Xun Yu narrowed his eyes, as if he was talking to himself: "It's going to snow!"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yes, it's going to snow!
At this time, it was snowing heavily in Jizhou.
The wind is very strong, and it is wrapped in snowflakes and ravaged the world. It is white and makes people unable to see the scene ahead.
Cheng Wu climbed to the top of Yecheng and looked at the vast snow fields outside the city, and felt a heavy feeling in his heart.
The war in Handan was not going smoothly. The Han army obviously had prepared for a long time. Although the troops were not large, they firmly guarded Handan with some new weapons and blocked Cao's army outside the city. It has been four days since the news from the front did not make people feel optimistic...
Cheng Yu and Cao Xiu attacked Handan in a row, but the loss of troops and generals had little effect.
Lu Kuang tried to cross the river several times to increase his troops, but was stopped by Hao Zhao.
Lu Kuang was, after all, a famous general under Yuan Shao. Cheng Wu also knew some of his talents, and he was definitely not an incompetent person.
But who would have expected that this famous Hebei general was now blocked by an unknown person. I don’t know where Liu Chuang recruited the person. Facing Lu Kuang’s fierce attack, he defended the ferry to death, preventing Cao’s army from advancing half a step east. It was indeed surprising.
At least, it surprised Cheng Wu!
Originally, Cheng Wu did not attach too much importance to Liu Chuang, and even lost Handan. In his opinion, the Han army took advantage of the situation.
But now it seems that I have indeed underestimated the other party.
In a small city of Handan, Zhuge Liang blocked Cheng Yu's strength with less than 10,000 troops. In four days, both sides used their own strange plans. Cheng Yu can be said to have used all the means to dig tunnels, build high platforms, and attacked at night... But Handan is still in Hanzhong's hands. Zhuge Liang responded very appropriately to Cheng Yu's strategies, which also caused heavy losses to Cao's army.
Most importantly, the Han army seems to have not yet exerted its efforts.
They still have the strength to do it...at least, the thunder fire that blew up the city walls, has not been seen using it yet.
There may be two possibilities!
Zhuge Liang had no extra thunder and fire in his hands, or they had not yet reached the last moment and had not taken it out to use it.
But no matter which one is possible, it is not good for Cheng Yu. According to scouts, now Xu Sheng, Julu, Zhang He and Zhang He are all mobilizing troops and are ready to move. This also shows that Liu Chuang is ready to start a full-scale war in Jizhou. If Cheng Yu insists on continuing to siege Handan, he will likely encounter danger. Thinking of this, Cheng Wu made a more decision in his heart and turned around and walked down the city tower.
When he returned to the mansion, he immediately wrote a letter stating his concerns about the current situation. He begged Cheng Yu to withdraw his troops as soon as possible...
"I sent it to Handan overnight. This letter will be sent to the hands of the provincial governor before tomorrow evening."
After Cheng Wu ordered the messenger, he took his men out of the city to patrol.
It was windy and snowy, and I was riding a horse, but walking on the snow was still very difficult. Seeing that such bad weather was really difficult to patrol, Cheng Wu had to check defense in the city. When he was passing through the southwest gate, Cheng Wu saw a group of civilians pushing a cart and delivering things to the city gate.
"What is this to give?"
He held the horse and asked his entourage in confusion.
The entourage hurriedly stepped forward to ask, and after a while he came back, he told Cheng Wu: "The city gate captain Guo Biao thought that such a heavy snow would make his vision blurry after nightfall. Therefore, he ordered people to accumulate firewood outside the city gate and ignite it after nightfall, so he could guard against the thief's attack."
When Cheng Wu heard this, he couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.
"This Guo Biao is a person with a heart."
Indeed, with such heavy storm, your eyes cannot even see things ten meters away after night.
If a bonfire is lit, it will indeed allow you to see a farther sight. Although no enemy was found outside the city, it is a good thing to be prepared for any eventuality.
"Tell me the order to let other city gate captains follow Guo Biao, gather dry firewood, and catch fire outside the city after night."
After saying that, he asked curiously again: "Who is this Guo Biao?"
"Oh, this Guo Biao is from the Guangzong of Julu. His father Guo Yong was the prefect of Nanjun. He was not in office and then his family fell into trouble. Guo Biao was originally Guo Yong's follower, but because Guo Yong and his sons died early, he adopted him. This man was quite clever and had some force. After the lord seized Yecheng, he appointed a group of locals to appease the people of Yecheng.
This Guo Biao is one of them.”
After hearing this, Cheng Wu couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.
"I see!"
"Major General, I heard that Guo Biao has a sister who is born like a flower and is extremely charming.
Now it is the 29th year, and there is no betrothal to anyone…”
"Yeah?"
When Cheng Wu heard this, his eyes lit up.
Speaking of which, Cheng Wu is not very old. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and has a strong spirit. He likes fishing, but because of his strict family education, he has never bullied men and domineers. However, there is a saying that he is a beautiful lady and a gentleman. Cheng Wu felt moved and couldn't help asking: "His sister can be in Yecheng now?"
"Well, live in Yecheng!"
Cheng Wu then wrote down this matter in his heart and prepared to wait for Cheng Yu to come back and take a look.
Although he already has six wives and concubines, there are many beauties... no matter how many of them are, if it is really as the people around him say, Guo Biao's sister is beautiful, so he will tell Guo that she is. I believe that as long as he is willing to speak, Guo Biao will not refuse such a good thing.
"What's the name of that beauty?"
"Go back to the Major General, the beauty is named Guo Huan, nicknamed Queen."
"oh?"
The entourage smiled and said, "This is Guo Yong praised 'my daughter as the king of the girls' before his lifetime, so he got the nickname of the queen."
Chapter completed!
