Jia Xu shook his head, eyes full of jealousy and said: "Cao Cao was defeated because he underestimated our army. At this moment, he knows our army's intentions, so he must be prepared for a sneak attack."

Lei Xu clasped his fists and saluted and said: "Sir, what you said is to increase the ambition of others and destroy our prestige. Cao's army was defeated, the rear army suffered countless casualties, and it was too late to escape. How could there be any precautions. My lord, the last general wishes to lead A group of soldiers and horses, go to chase Cao Jun, and will behead Cao Cao and offer it to his subordinates."

"The last general is also willing to go with me." Zhang Xian also encouraged him from the side.

Cao's army was 15, and they were defeated by them; now that the enemy's army has lost [-]%, how can we be afraid of it? If you can take advantage of the chaos and chop off Cao Cao's head, it can be said to be an immortal achievement.

"Okay, Lei Xu, you lead three thousand cavalry to pursue at high speed. If you can kill Cao thief, I will ask the emperor to play and make you a marquis."

Lei Xu took the order to leave, Jia Xu sighed secretly when he saw the other party's leaving figure, but Zhang Xiu was not the master of the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't understand the simple truth that the poor should not chase after him.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

"My lord, did you find Cao Anmin during the battle?"

Zhang Xiu defeated the enemy army. Although Jia Xu contradicted him before, it didn't affect his mood at all. He glanced at Jia Xu and shook his head.

Jia Xu's heart skipped a beat.The most difficult to deal with in this battle is probably Er Cao.

Cao Cao was defeated by himself, but it seems that Cao Anmin was never seen from the beginning to the end.Even, if it wasn't for the flying general flag, they might not even know that Cao Anmin went out with the army.

"Wen He doesn't need to worry. I guess that Cao Anmin must have been washed away by the flood, and I don't know where he died."

Jia Xu didn't say much, and naturally she didn't believe Zhang Xiu's nonsense.If Cao Anmin was so easy to deal with, then why would Zhou Yu, Cai Mao and others be killed by him to the point of throwing away their helmets and armor.

An Min didn't come out, and he couldn't feel at ease for a while.

In Jiyang City, Cao Jun, who had changed his attire, waited for several days in a row, but he still didn't see Zhang Xiu leading the army, so he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

On this day, there was a battle report that the 15 troops led by Cao Cao were attacked by Jia Xu in Yushui and lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.Although Lei Xu, the enemy general who came to pursue him, was defeated later, thousands of enemy troops were beheaded.However, Jia Xu carried out a second sneak attack strategy, and the army was defeated after being killed. Now he has withdrawn from Nanyang and returned to Kunyang to repair.

In terms of disastrous defeat, the Battle of Puyang was probably the most painful; but in terms of casualties and soldiers, Cao Cao lost a total of [-] to [-] soldiers and horses in the battle against Wancheng, and lost countless food, grass and supplies. Instead, the army fell into the enemy's rear.

"Brother, my father sent me a letter by flying pigeons, ordering me to withdraw the army immediately. There must be no mistakes." Cao Ang strode in with a document written by Cao Cao.Seeing that Cao Anmin and the generals were discussing the battle situation in front of the sand table, their voices inevitably dropped a bit.

"How about uncle's loss?"

"Looking at the posture, the loss should not be small. Right now, the army has retreated from Kunyang to Xiangcheng."

"Since this is the case, our army cannot retreat even more." Cao Anmin erupted with a powerful momentum. Since he fought himself, he has never been defeated once.Not to mention the little Zhang Xiu, even if Sun Ce and Liu Biao had more than [-] troops, he was not afraid at all.Even if there is an old fox like Jia Xu here, Yao Guangxiao beside him is not a vegetarian.

"If you don't retreat, Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao will come here at the same time, what can I do?" Cao Ang has always been an obedient boy, and he really can't do it if he blatantly violates Cao Cao's military orders.

"If it doesn't work, elder brother will lead the troops of the headquarters to advance eastward first, and enter Yuzhou from Wuyin. Brother, I will lead [-] troops here to deal with Zhang Xiu."

"How can this be so? You and my brother are one body. If you don't go back, how can I run away? In this case, you and I will not leave." Cao Ang looked at the sand table in front of him and continued to ask: "Deal for a long time , what tactics do you have?"

"The tactics remain the same. It is still the previous strategy of attracting the enemy to obtain food. I believe that Zhang Xiu will come soon without the worries of his uncle."

"Ding! The mission is released - regaining the glory. The host is behind the enemy lines. There are no reinforcements outside and no countermeasures inside. When the mission is completed, all the infantry summoning cards will be rewarded with [-] yuan each, and the Xuanjia army summoning card will be rewarded." five hundred."

"Zhang Xiu is just one aspect, and what I'm most worried about right now is the other aspect." Yao Guangxiao pointed to Xiangyang beside the guide.

"Xiangyang, Liu Biao?"

"That's right, since the peace talks, Liu Biao seems to have lost track of him. Up to now, we don't know what this Jingzhou shepherd is doing. It is impossible for Liu Biao to do nothing this time Zhang Xiu wins." Yao Guangxiao said, with his right hand Keep playing with the beads.Using one mind and two on him can be said to be brought to the extreme.

"Sir, what do you think Liu Biao should be doing?" Although Cao Ang has always disliked Yao Guangxiao's appearance, he also understands that this person is an indispensable and important think tank for Brother An Minxian.Right now, Xu Shu has gone to Wancheng, and he can only rely on him for resourcefulness.

"Since ancient times, people who have achieved great things are often good at hiding. I think Liu Biao must be gathering strength secretly."

Cao Anmin suddenly said: "Sir, I'm afraid I guessed wrong. Liu Biao is a talented person with little ambition, and he is more conservative than aggressive. Although this is the best opportunity in a lifetime, in his eyes, it is definitely different. From my judgment, the current situation is very different. I'm afraid Liu Biao will be afraid that Zhang Xiu will take the opportunity to become bigger, so he will try to contain him."

Yao Guangxiao didn't speak, but it could be seen from his expression that he didn't agree with Cao Anmin's words.

"If you don't believe me, I think it will be clear in a few days. From now on, the north-south traffic arteries will be closely monitored. Whether it is Zhang Xiu's messenger or Liu Biao's messenger, I must pay close attention to it. There must be no negligence. "

In the land of the nine counties of Jingzhou, it seems that a war has subsided, but there is a universe inside, and a new war is brewing at any time.

In Zhennan General's Mansion, the military report of Zhang Xiu's defeat of Cao Cao had reached Liu Biao's desk a day earlier.However, in view of Zhang Xiu's situation, Liu Biao didn't have any conclusions for a while.

After thinking all night, I finally had to turn to Kuai Che and Cai Mao for help.Kuai Liang resigned from all his official positions and stayed idle in the government after he shook hands with Jiujiang and Jingzhou. Now he is at ease in troubled times, which is enviable.

For military affairs, Kuai Che and Cai Mao were also more attentive than before. When they saw Liu Biao's envoy, they did not dare to delay and came to meet him quickly.

"Zhang Xiu won, Cao Cao was defeated like a mountain, and now he has retreated to Xudu."

The two looked at each other, completely unable to believe this fact.Zhang Xiu is just a gate they placed in the north, and who is Cao Cao? He is a lion dominating the Central Plains.No matter how strong the door is, can it still defeat a fierce lion?

"My lord, did Zhang Xiu use Jia Wenhe's plan?" Of course Kuai Che knew about Jia Xu who was beside Zhang Xiu, but it was a pity that this person acted too viciously, and often used unscrupulous means for his own sake.Because of this, Kuai Che had to give up his plan to invite him across the river.

"It was Jia Wenhe's plan to flood Cao Jun's camp with Yushui, which caused Cao Jun to be defeated and suffered heavy casualties. You two, the military situation is already like this. What I want to ask is, now that Zhang Xiu is getting bigger, how should we restrain it? to him?"

"Hehe, my lord is worrying too much." Cai Mao sneered, and then said: "Although Zhang Xiu is strong, he is just a dog we raised. Whether the dog can be vicious or not, and whether it has food depends on whether the owner is happy or not." As long as we control their food and grass, no matter how ruthless Zhang Xiu is."

When Liu Biao heard this, his face was full of smiles.No matter how vicious Zhang Xiu was, he was indeed just a dog raised by himself.

If a dog dares to bite its owner, it probably thinks its life is too long.

"Order Deng Qiang, Lieutenant of Jiyang, to reduce the supply of grain and grass in Wancheng by half every month from now on. I want Zhang Xiu to know who is in charge of this Jingzhou."

Chapter 109

Within Wancheng, only three days after the great victory, new problems reappeared.

Grain and grass has really become Zhang Xiu's serious problem now.After celebrating for two days, he completely exhausted his small stock of grain and grass. According to the statistics of the grain officials, the grain and grass in the whole Wancheng are only enough for three days, and the daily supply can only be half of what it used to be.

With food in hand, don't panic.Right now Wancheng is running out of food and grass, and there is no more food and grass, even if Zhang Xiu's mouth can blow to the sky, it will be a waste of words.

The nearest place to get grain in Wancheng is Jiyang, and the only way to get grain from Jiyang is Deng Qiang.

No matter how unhappy Zhang Xiu was, at this moment, he could only bite the bullet and go to see Deng Qiang.

In the guest room, for Deng Qiang, the past few days are definitely like years.Trapped in the room all day long, eating, drinking and sleeping all day long, ignorant of the external situation, this made him panic all day long.

After dinner that day, Deng Qiang was about to take a rest when there was a knock on the door.When he opened the door, he saw that it was none other than Zhang Xiu.

"Hey, isn't this General Zhang? Why do you come to me when you have free time?"

Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "I don't dare to be a general, why, I haven't seen you for a few days, Brother Deng doesn't even plan to let me in?"

Deng Qiang sneered, looked around his room and said, "My temple here is too small to accommodate a big Buddha like you. If you have anything to say, it's better to say it at the door, so that others will think that you, General Zhang, are suspected of collaborating with the enemy."

Zhang Xiu naturally understood that what Deng Qiang said was none other than Jia Xu, his own think tank.

"Okay, let's talk here. I'm ready for the barbarian dancer. I don't know when I will go to Jiyang with Brother Deng?"

This can be said to be a turn of events. He who had no hope at first seemed to see hope for a while.Fortunately, under the influence of Xu Shu these days, Deng Qiang's acting skills have improved, even when facing good things, he can still smile without showing color.
