The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 9 Chapter 99: Guo Jia confuses the enemy and disturbs Juye

But he said that Pan Zhang surrounded Gucheng and confronted Cao Ren. Li Zan also sent troops from Dongping to attack Fan County. Fan County borders Dongping, and on the west bank of the Gourd River, Li Zan's soldiers crossed from the upper reaches to the lower part of Fan County. In order to coax Cao Cao's reinforcements, they played the banner of Le Jin. The general of Fan County was really startled, and hurriedly sent an envoy to Cheng's for help.

Cao Cao received the report and was suspicious. He asked Cheng Li, Chen Gong, etc., and said, "Zhendong said in a letter that he would attack my father Kang and attack my Shanyang. Xu Xian and others at the place of father Kang have not moved, and Gucheng and Fanxian have not moved. I am in a hurry. I suspect that this is the sound of the east attacking the east and the west, and I have dispatched my troops to help him in the north, so that he can attack Kangfu and Shanyang again. , the Yellow Turban thieves, the defenders of Licheng and the Qingzhou soldiers who rescued Licheng have long been exhausted. Where is there any spare energy to attack our Fan County and Gucheng? Ming Gong expected it to be good, this must be Xun Zhenzhi's plan to attack the east and west! No need I understand." Cheng Li said: "It's good to say that the east is attacking the west, but I don't know where is the east and where is the west?" Cao Cao asked, "How do you say this?" Cheng Li said, "If Zhendong said in the letter, attack Kang's father and mountain. Yang Yunyun is a 'sound movement', and taking Gucheng and Fanxian is the 'strike to the west', then my East County will be lost!" Chen Gong said: "Yanbei Lejin and Zhao Yunbu have been exhausted from the long battle. How can you take me Gucheng and Fanxian?" Cheng Li said: "Zhendong is stationed in Binghe Township, which is 200 miles away from Fanxian and 300 miles away from Gucheng. The troops are exhausted, are the troops in the eastern part of the town also exhausted?"

Cao Cao hesitated for a long time, and said in his heart: "East Commandery is my foundation, if I fail, I will not only have no way to retreat, but also no place to stand! It is exactly as Cheng Gong said, at the beginning, if I had no foundation, I would be empty-handed. , lead the troops to join the annexation, and live here from now on!" Said, "Dongjun is the rear of our Yanzhou, and we must guard against it." Yuan Shao's general Jiang Qi, who passed the army to Linqiu, helped Fan County.

Jiang Qi arrived in Fan County and peeked at the Xuzhou barracks in the north of the county. He saw that the camp was several miles away, the drum horns were unknown, and he was afraid of the music's reputation, so he did not dare to fight, so he also set up camp and settled in the south of the city. The two armies faced each other, and there was no war for days. Jiang Qi became suspicious and said to himself, "Le Wenqian fought bravely, and now he is stationed in the north of the city, but he has not been out for a few days. Why? Is there a fraud?" When the scout came back, he said, "There is a lot of fighting inside and outside the Le Camp, and the villain can't wait to approach. I saw hundreds of cavalry and more than a thousand infantry coming from the north and entering the camp." Seeing that there are soldiers and horses entering the Leying camp, the banners are different, but they are all the generals under the Lejin tent. Jiang Qi and his subordinates said: "No wonder Le Wenqian didn't attack Fanxian and our battalion. It turned out that he was gathering troops and horses from the battalions scattered in Yanbei. When his troops were few, our army was bluffed by him and failed to attack in time. , now that his troops are increasing, he can't attack! We will hold the fortress closely, echo the city, wait for him to attack the city, and then finish the battle!" All the generals and schools in the army obeyed the order.

Licheng was newly acquired, but the hearts of the people did not follow. Zhao Yun personally sent his troops out of the city to cross the Jishui River to the east bank of the Yellow River dozens of miles away, and harassed Dongjun counties and townships. On this day, a person came from Pingyuan County, claiming to be Zhenglong of Youzhou, and asked to see Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun didn't look at it and asked Zheng Long, "What did your lord say in your letter?" Zheng Long said, "The general entered Keli City in the first battle. Megatron, Yan, my lord respects the general, and would like to give Jinan to him. Please. Make an alliance with the general to attack Dongjun together." He took out the seal and gave it to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun said, "Who is your lord? Privately appointed officials! Although Yun is a scumbag, he doesn't dare to accept it!" He ordered Zheng Long to be driven away. Anmin Commander Chen Rongzhe, who was also a general of Zhao Yun's subordinate, was present, and said, "Why don't you join Weishe and lure him to attack Dongjun together?" It is Zhuo, and he will also chase Zheng Long." Chen Rong asked, "Why?" Xu Zhuo said, "Gongsun Zan asked for an alliance with Duke Ming and Duke Sun, but Duke Ming and Duke Sun should not. Jin Tian Kai asked for an alliance, and the general would agree to it. , wouldn't it go against the will of Duke Ming? Besides, Gongsun Zan was defeated, Tian Kai had a hard time at night, and he wanted to get help from foreign aid, so he sent an envoy to the alliance. With the remnants of his troops, he couldn't protect himself, how could he still send troops to attack Dongjun? Talk!" Zhao Yun smiled and said to Chen Rong, "That's why I chase Zheng Long!"

Xiahou Yuan received a secret letter from Cao Cao in Liaocheng, instructing him to keep the borders, and to ensure that Dongjun was safe, because he closed the city and did not leave.

Let's say that on this day, outside the city of Kangfu, Xu Xian, Chen Bao, Liu Bei and others suddenly raised their flags to leave the camp and formed an attack. Xiahou Dun ascended the city to defend against the enemy. After half a day of fighting, Xu Xianmingjin withdrew his troops. Take a day off. The next day, Xu Xian, Chen Bao, and Liu Bei each led troops out of the camp to attack Kangfu on three sides. Still fighting for half a day to withdraw. If so, siege the city three times. Xu Xian still withdrew his troops that day. Xiahou Dun's general said: "In five days, Xu Xian attacked the city three times, and each time he returned in half a day. This should be a test of the strength of our city's defense. At most, within three or four days, until he finds out the easy attack of our city. Wherever they are, they will definitely attack them! The general will immediately send envoys to the Cheng clan, and ask Duke Ming to send reinforcements to prepare for a fierce battle." Xiahou Dun sent envoys to ask for help. The messenger did not return until the next afternoon, and suddenly received a report, but Xu Xianbing bypassed Kang's father and killed Juye City. Xiahou Dun then understood that attacking for half a day and resting for a day was Xu Xian's plan to confuse the enemy.

This plan is not something that Xu Xian came up with ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ but Guo Jia's strategy.

The strategy was successful, and he easily bypassed Juye, making Xiahou Dun unable to intercept. Guo Jia said: "Juye goes to the southwest, and a hundred miles will reach Cheng's. The general's extraordinary army is here, Cao's camp is shaken, and Caodong County will send an army to fight. The general's army is small, like a dignified array, not an enemy of Cao's army. The current plan is appropriate. The guerrilla attack on Juye Zuojin has disturbed the people's hearts. When reinforcements from Caodong County arrive, the general will not fight. As the force is strong, the general will go north to avoid Dongping; It's over!" Xu Xian agreed and followed his plan. Cao Cao sent Li Gan and other leaders to fight, Xu Xian did not fight, and went north; Li Gan waited for the retreat of the Cheng clan, and Xu Xian pursued and harassed. Li Gan and others were unable to fight or retreat, and were entangled with Xu Xian's troops in Juye and Jinxiang. Xiahou Dun was limited to Liu Bei, Chen Bao, etc. still stationed outside the city, fearing that if he sent troops to outflank Xu Xian, Kang's father might be trapped, and he would not dare to leave the city, but would be trapped.

Military newspapers from Gucheng, Fanxian, Licheng, Kangfu and other places were sent to Hexiang.

Xun Zhen was overjoyed, and said to Xi Zhicai, Xun You, etc.: "As Zhicai has a clever plan, Cao's soldiers will fail to advance and retreat. The soldiers of Dongjun cannot return to help, and the soldiers of Cheng's family are divided into Juye. I will take Shanyang. It's time!" The three armies were ordered to calm down, pull out their camp and leave the village, cross the water to the west, and divide their troops into two routes, one to attack Gaoping and the other to attack Hulu. These two counties are the two easternmost counties in Shanyang. The counties in Yanzhou are all narrow and densely populated. From the west of the two counties, more than a hundred li is the Zhichang Town of Shanyang County, and there is almost no danger to defend. Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, heard the news and was shocked.
