Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 949: Retreat to Jiangxia

Chapter 949

"The whole army is to be passed on, not to attack without authorization, lest the enemy will take the opportunity to disrupt the situation." Zhang jaw said solemnly.

The enemy army must have been prepared for an attack at night. Once the army is ordered to attack, it may be caught by the enemy's trap. Therefore, Zhang Ji ordered the whole army to stand firm and not attack without authorization.

The night was dark and dark. Although countless torches were raised above the Xiliang Barracks, I couldn't see the situation of Cao Jun. He could vaguely see countless figures of Cao Jun outside the barracks, and the sound of war drums was still rumbling. The sound of the sound seemed to attack at any time, but he refused to rush over.

"Cao Jun besieged and did not attack, I am afraid that a trap had been set up outside, just waiting for our army to rush out." Zhang jaw said solemnly.

Fazheng nodded: "It makes sense. Our army will stay in the camp and not go out. Let's see what the Cao army wants to do."

Ever since, tens of thousands of Xiliang army held torches like this, stood together on the camp, motionless, and reacted accordingly.

As the Xiliang Army waited, nearly two hours passed, and Cao Jun’s drums gradually weakened, but he still refused to attack. Rao is an elite of the Xiliang Army. He hasn't been sleeping for such a long time, staring outside, and he can't help but feel a little nervous.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Chi muttered.

"No, there seems to be something wrong." Fazheng frowned, turned his head to open his jaw and said: "General, the enemy doesn't seem to be alive!"

"what?"

Zhang Jai immediately shouted to Li Yan: "Li Yan, you led three thousand elites out of the camp to see what happened to the enemy. Don't worry, once the two armies fought, they would naturally send reinforcements to support you."

"Here!"

Li Yan shouted, Dang Even led three thousand elite soldiers, opened the gate of the village and killed them together.

To prevent the enemy from being deceived, the three thousand Xiliang soldiers were not advancing fast. However, Li Yan was stunned when they reached the Cao army.

He slowly stepped forward, and suddenly pierced out with a shot. The gunman pierced through the thatch and made a chill.

"Grassman?" Li Yan gritted his teeth.

It turns out that the tens of thousands of "Cao Jun" in the eyes of the Xiliang Army are not the real Cao Jun at all, but a group of grass men! No wonder the enemy's drums were so loud, but they didn't attack the camp anyway. If the grass man could attack the camp, it would be great.

"Return to the general, the enemy is just a bunch of grass men!"

After hearing Li Yan's return, Zhang Jai was naturally stunned: "Damn Cao Ren, dare to tease me!"

"No, General!" Fa's face changed: "Go to Cao Ying to inquire, quickly!"

Zhang Jai also realized something, and hurriedly sent another army to investigate outside Cao Ying.

The Xiliang Army proceeded to Cao Camp cautiously, holding a large shield high in hand. For fear of the rain of arrows from Cao Jun, they seized the large shield and proceeded to Cao Jun camp carefully.

But it’s strange to say that even if they entered the land of an arrow, Cao Jun did not see an arrow coming. Although these Xiliang army was strange, they could not help speeding up and rushed before Cao Jun’s first line. Crossing the trench, removing the antlers and repelling the carbine, and then rushed through the second line of Cao Jun in the same way, but no one could stop it.

"Guard!"

A Xiliang army shouted, but Cao Jun didn't respond at all.

"Come on, smash the camp door!" Jun Sima informed a dozen soldiers in Xiliang.

"Flush!"

These Xiliang soldiers slammed into the past, and soon they slammed Cao Jun's gate open, and immediately grabbed the shield.

However, there was no one in Cao Junying's village.

"Sima, the enemy seems to have run out."

"That's it, send someone to notify the general!"

After they notified Zhangja, Fazheng sighed: "It should have been thought that Cao Jun is obviously less than our army in terms of strength, but he attacked our army at night. Of course, he didn't really intend to complete his work, but Anticipating that the general was cautious by nature and would not go out to attack them, so he ran away at night."

This is Man Chong's strategy for Cao Ren. At night, he sent troops to surprise the camp of Zhangjai. Zhangja was cautious by nature, so naturally he would not send troops to attack Cao Jun.

The well-stitched grass man would make the Xiliang Army mistakenly believe that it was Cao Jun, so that Cao Jun could take advantage of the situation and escape, which is really a good strategy.

"It's no wonder filial piety, the enemy's strategy really counts the character of the general, ha ha." Zhang Jai waved his hand mockingly.

"General, since the enemy has escaped, although they have not been able to win the full victory, they finally forced Cao Ren back and rescued Jiangling City." Fa Zheng talked openly: "There are three major things to do right now, first. One is to inform the general about the military situation, the second is to send people to Jingnan to ask the Gaodu Governor how the war is going, and the third is to send a sentry to investigate Cao Renjun's movements."

"Well, I will send someone to do it now." Zhang Jai nodded.

On the same day, Zhang Jai immediately dispatched Chaoqi all the way northward, speeding along the post station to Luoyang, reporting the military situation to Liu Ye.

At the same time, he sent scouts to the south to inquire about Gao Chong's military situation. After he learned that Gao Chong had defeated the Sun family, put down Jingnan, and Sun Quan surrendered, even Jiaozhou Shixie was willing to return, so Zhang Jai was naturally overjoyed.

"Haha, Gao Chong has done a great job, and the general will definitely reward him." Zhang Jai couldn't help laughing.

"Yeah, I didn't think that our army had been ineffective in Jiangling for a long time, but it was the high governor who restrained Jingnan and conquered Jiaozhou. It is a great contribution." Fazheng also said with emotion.

...

On the Yangtze River, more than 10,000 Cao Jun sailed with the flow of ships of various sizes.

"Unexpectedly, the military operation meticulously planned by the prime minister failed. Liu Xuande was unable to dormant, but he was missed." Cao Ren sighed.

Liu Bei was appointed by Liu Ye as Yuzhou Provincial Governor. It has been four full years. During these four years, Liu Bei has been quiet. Unexpectedly, this time he has accumulated a lot of strength. The 30,000 Yuzhou army with training suddenly slammed out and killed him. Xiahoudun was defeated and retired from Shouchun, and Cao Cao could only retreat because of this. After all, if Liu Bei were to occupy Huainan, it would be equivalent to dividing Cao Jun's territory into two, which would be dangerous.

"Unfortunately, this time the Xiliang Army won a complete victory and won Jingnan, and its strength has increased. Next, our army may face a tough battle." Man Chong said solemnly.

"Bo Ning is saying that Xiliang Army will take the initiative to attack?" Cao Ren frowned.

"Not necessarily when, but it's coming soon."

Man Chong slowly said: "The heroes of the world, only the prime minister and Liu Yuqing are ears. This is what the prime minister said personally. As the situation today can't be clearer, the two emperors of the East and the West are standing together in the world. As a Han Dynasty clan, Liu Yuqing will definitely not sit and watch this. If this situation occurs, I am afraid that with this big victory, an all-out war will be launched against our army!"
