Chapter 185: Han General Fu Shiren(1/2)
In 215 AD, early summer in the 20th year of Jian'an in the Han Dynasty.
Xiahou Dun and Man Chong stood on the top of the city, putting their hands on the awning, and looking at the Guanyu Village in the distance. But the distance was too far, at most, the outline of the village could be seen. As for the scene inside, they could never see it.
The two of them were watching, and suddenly they heard footsteps coming beside them. Xiahou Dun turned his head and saw who the person was.
Cao Zhang rushed to the front with a happy look on his face, and after giving a simple gift, he immediately said: "Just received the news from the detailed investigation, Zhao Leiranji, the grain supervisor of Guan Yu's army, and Guan Yu actually made Fu Shiren the grain supervisor."
Xiahou Dun hadn't heard this yet, but Man Chong said in surprise: "Be serious about this?"
Cao Zhang said: "After I learned about it, I went to search several times. Guan Yu really regarded Fu Shiren as the grain supervisor!"
After hearing this, Man Chong chuckled softly, "If this is the case, Guan Yu will die here."
By the way, Xiahou Dun stood by for a while, and then said: "Although Fu Shiren is a fool, he is responsible for escorting food and grass in the rear, which is indeed of no help to our army."
Before he finished speaking, Cao Zhang said, "Uncle didn't know. When my nephew found out about this, he also inquired about another thing. It was that Fu Shiren was originally the grain supervisor of Guan Yu's army.
When Guan Yu attacked Fancheng first, Fu Shiren burned the food and grass on the road, but was punished by Guan Yu and almost lost his life."
After saying this, Xiahou Dun understood a little and hurriedly said, "The second young master's intention is to infiltrate into Guan Yu's army and secretly instigate this person to rebel?"
Cao Zhang said: "This is exactly what my nephew wants. I think that although Fu Shiren is used by Guan Yu, it is because Guan Yu has no one to use it, so he reluctantly makes it difficult for him to supervise the food and grass again, and according to detailed investigations.
These days, Guan Yu has punished him many times. My nephew thought that this person would be dissatisfied. If the uncle promised to give a high-ranking official with a large sum of money, this person would abandon Guan Yu and join our army."
Speaking of this, Man Chong continued: "Although this person is a fool, he is now in charge of food and grass. As long as he sets a fire in the place where the food and grass are stored, he can cause Guan Yu's troops to fall into chaos.
At that time, the general and the young master led a group of troops out of the city respectively. Attacking Guanyu's village from both sides, the army in Jingzhou will be determined in one battle."
After hearing this, Xiahou Dun nodded and said to Cao Zhang: "I will leave the second master to do the matter of contacting Fu Shiren. I will prepare the troops and horses by myself. I will just wait for the second master to contact Fu Shiren to make an appointment for the time of the uprising. Then I will lead the army and horses out of the city to fight."
After giving the order, everyone dispersed. Xiahou Dun turned his head and looked at Guanyu Village in the distance. He saw that the village was black and could not see the scene inside. It seemed as if he wanted to swallow everything close to him...
It was very deep, and there was no starlight in the dark night sky. On such a night, two soldiers quietly walked out from Wancheng. These two soldiers.
They came out from the east and west gates of Wancheng, then walked around the outside of the city, and then walked to the south of Wancheng.
Cao Zhang led his 10,000 soldiers to the outside of Guanyu Village, and then stopped when he estimated that the distance was almost the same, so he should not be discovered by him.
Looking at the sporadic flames in the village ahead, Cao Zhang felt like a fire was burning in his heart, and his eyes were just looking at the place behind Guanyu Village. There was exactly where the Jingzhou army was hoarding the food and grass.
He glared for a while, but found that it was still pitch black. Not to mention the flames that soared into the sky, he didn't even see any Mars.
Cao Zhang stayed for a while, and saw that there was no movement, he couldn't help but recite in his heart: "Is there something unexpected happening? Now that the agreed time has passed, why didn't Fu Shiren set fire?"
While staring at the other side, he called a personal guard beside him and asked anxiously: "What did you say to Fu Shiren?"
Seeing that his son's face was not good, the guard did not dare to say much nonsense at the moment. He immediately said, "What the subordinate of Mr. Rizhao said in a mixed manner, he had mixed into the Jingzhou army. After finding Fu Shiren, he told him the general's intention to be the original one.
After Fu Shiren confirmed that his subordinates were young masters, he only said that Guan Yu was strict with him and had long been interested in turning to the young masters. He had no way to do so, so he endured it to this point."
Speaking of this, he smiled as if he was thinking of something and said, "Later, Mr. Yan, the subordinate, wanted to promote his official position and salary, and the personal guard next to him also persuaded him.
Then, it was agreed that it would set fire to burn all the food and grass in Jingzhou to death. Then, when the young master's army saw the fire, he led the army to respond, and then Fu Shiren would return with the general.
After hearing this, Cao Zhang asked, "When was the appointment at that time?"
The personal guard said, "At this time, Fu Shiren once said that although he supervised the food and grass, he could not enter and exit the food storage place at will, so it might delay for a while."
After hearing this, Cao Zhang nodded and responded: "Since that's the case, let's stay for a while!"...
This is indeed Cao Zhang's youthful and energetic spirit. Xiahou Dun led another army and since he reached the designated position, Xiahou Dun was ready for war at any time. He held the spear in his hand tightly and stared at the distance without blinking.
Speaking of which, these two troops stood in the wilderness in the night and stood in the wilderness for nearly an hour, Xiahou Dun said to himself: "Is it because the situation on Fu Shiren's side has changed, so things have not been done?" Just as he was about to send someone to inform Cao Zhang and was about to withdraw his troops and return to the city, he suddenly saw a fire gradually lit up behind the Jingzhou Dazhai.
But in the blink of an eye, the fire soared into the sky, illuminating the dark night sky like day.
Seeing this, Xiahou Dun hurriedly got on his horse and carried his gun and shouted, "Hurry up, follow me to kill into the enemy camp!" After shouting, he took the lead and rushed eastward to the village. At the same time, Cao Zhang also led his troops to kill the west of the village.
In the blink of an eye, these two soldiers rushed into the Jingzhou military camp. By the way, Cao Zhang took the lead and wanted to earn more military achievements, but he was the first to rush into the Jingzhou military camp.
However, when he rushed into the village, he saw a few people from afar, but now he couldn't even see a ghost.
Cao Zhang pulled the horse and saw that it was almost instant. He was about to turn his horse back and retreated from the village with his troops. Suddenly, he heard a cannon in the village. Several firewood, piles, stone piles and other things next to the village suddenly dispersed. Countless Jingzhou soldiers flashed out from inside.
A big tent near the left scattered with a bang, and a horse ran out of it. A general immediately, wearing silver armor and carrying a big sword, was undoubtedly Guan Xing.
Guan Xing immediately laughed and said, "You are my brother-in-law Lu Boyan's plan!" After shouting, he danced with a big knife in his hand and rushed towards Cao Zhang.
Cao Zhang held a long spear in his hand. When he saw a general running out beside him, he shouted loudly and rushed towards him. He knew that he had fallen into a trap. He was worried, but said, "Don't be rampant, I will kill you first, and then lead the troops back!" But he saw that Guan Xing was not old.
So he wanted to deceive him at a young age, and then he took the man first and then retreated.
After a plan was decided, he waved his long halberd in his hand and pushed his horse to meet Guan Xing. Then Guan Xing originally thought that after knowing that he had fallen into the trap, he would lead his troops to flee.
You can use your troops to cover up the killing from all sides, and then take advantage of the situation to take the life of this man, thinking that he has made great achievements.
But he didn't expect that this man actually came to fight him with his halberd. He was slightly surprised. Then he shouted: "Good it!" He raised his sword in his hand, took advantage of the horse's stance and looked at Cao Zhang's head and smashed it down.
Cao Zhang was not panicked when he saw this. He raised the long halberd in his hand, but he took Guan Xing's sword head-on. With a loud noise, Guan Xing's sword bounced up, and the empty door in front of him was revealed. If someone came up with a gun at this time.
It is certain that he can take his life. But Cao Zhang's hands were also numb at this time. Not to mention the stabbing of the halberd, even the halberd in his hand would not be able to hold it.
The two of them rode their horses back several steps, and then they began to face the opponent in front of them. At this moment, a Cao soldier rushed towards Guan Xing with a spear, but was slashed into two pieces by Guan Xing, who had already recovered.
After killing a Cao soldier with one knife, Guan Xing smiled immediately and said, "As a soldier, I will go to find a soldier like you. And we generals, we should fight against each other!" After that, he looked at Cao Zhang opposite and asked, "You think you are right?"
Cao Zhang is also a young man. Therefore, Guan Xing's words were quite in line with his appetite, and he said immediately: "Come and leave your life! After someone cuts your head, it will be convenient for you to erect a tombstone."
Guan Xing didn't care and replied with a smile: "I am the son of Guan Yu, the former general under the Hanzhong King's tent. Guan Xing is the same!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhang said intimately, "It turns out to be Guan Yu's son." He said, "I am the second son of the King of Wei, Cao Zhang and Cao Ziwen!" While speaking, he signaled to the personal guards beside him with gestures, asking them to rectify their troops and prepare to break through.
However, Cao Zhang saw that Jingzhou soldiers were everywhere, and most of the 10,000 Cao troops he led were surrounded.
Although nearly half of the troops were still not coming in outside, they were cut into two sections by the Jingzhou army, who had been ambushing a long time ago, and they could not echo each other.
In this way, the longer he drags here, the more dangerous it will be. But if he leads his troops directly to retreat, it is very easy for the Jingzhou army to take advantage of the situation to cover up and defeat his troops.
So Cao Zhang decided to stabilize his troops first and then retreat. Now, he is to use the fight with Guan Xingdi to gain time so that his troops can restore their combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
However, these two young generals fought for more than twenty rounds under the firelight, and never decided to win or lose, but Cao Zhang didn't want to fight again.
But he thought in his heart that after fighting for a while, his troops should have stopped the chaos, so he was about to make a feint, throw Guan Xing away, and then lead the troops out of the siege so that he could withdraw from the camp.
Unexpectedly, he had to shake it several times in a row, but Guan Xing didn't take his false move, but instead looked ridiculous.
After a few more moves, Guan Xing suddenly waved his sword, laughed a few times, and said, "Do you think you can leave safely after being trapped by my brother-in-law? I won't attack you, look behind you!"
When Cao Zhang heard this, he turned his head and looked back. It would be fine if he didn't look at it, but when he turned around, he almost turned his head and was so scared that he was so scared that he turned his back.
It turned out that he had fought with Guan Xing first, and his eyes had no time to look around. Therefore, the previous thoughts were just what he thought of in his heart, not the actual situation.
But the next time I turned around, I realized that when I was fighting with Guan Xing, another general came out from somewhere, and was wielding a big sword to rush around the crowd.
That general was Liao Hua, but he was ambushed with Guan Xing on the west side of the village with Guan Yu. After Guan Xing rushed out and attracted Cao Zhang's full attention, what Liao Hua had to face was only ordinary Cao soldiers.
Moreover, these Cao soldiers were depressed because of the siege. At this time, they were deeply trapped in a siege and were unfavorable in the battle situation, which made them unable to exert all their combat power. There were even many soldiers who took advantage of the chaos to escape from the camp. In this way.
Not only did some new Cao army soldiers learn from them and flee continuously; at the same time, some of the newly formed formations scattered and dispersed.
In this way, what Liao Hua had to do was much simpler. He just needed to take the hundreds of soldiers around him to fight back and forth among the chaotic troops. He saw where the Cao soldiers seemed to gather together, and immediately rushed over with the soldiers and disrupted their formation.
Then turn your head and look for the next target...
At the same time, Xiahou Dun also faced the same dilemma, but he was slightly stronger than Cao Zhang, but because Xiahou Dun was not entangled by a famous general.
Originally, Guan Yu sent Guan Ping and Zhou Cang to ambush on this side, but neither of the two men's force could entangle Xiahou Dun.
After fighting with Xiahou Dun for thirty rounds, Guan Ping saw the opportunity and stabbed the arm with a shot. Although the injury was not deep and he only scratched some of his skin, Xiahou Dun asked Guan Ping to take advantage of the opportunity to escape from the battle circle.
Then he led his troops to break out of the camp.
However, when he was halfway through, he was intercepted by Zhou Cang and killed for a while. Therefore, most of the soldiers and horses around Xiahou Dun were broken into the camp. If he hadn't relied on his own bravery, he would have been unable to rush out.
Xiahou Dun led some soldiers and horses out of the village, and then gathered with some soldiers from the mainland who had not entered the village. He said immediately: "Have the young master's soldiers and horses escaped?"
Someone from the left and right answered, "When I was in front of me, I saw the sound of killing in the west of the Jingzhou military camp, and it did not stop until now. I thought that the young master's soldiers were still trapped in the village."
Xiahou Dun was very anxious and said to the left and right: "A half-old man, I will die if I die. The young master is the bloodline of the King of Wei, and he must not be eliminated here, so he should save him quickly." Then he ordered four thousand defeated soldiers, bypassed the front of the camp, and headed straight to the west side of Jingzhou camp.
By the way, Cao Zhang and Guan Xing fought for more than ten more rounds, but the more they fought, the more anxious they became. They saw that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around them, and the more they killed the Jingzhou army, the more they became more and more energetic.
He said intimately: "If you drag it for a while, you may be killed here!" But in this situation, he knew that he could only rely on himself.
His army was ambushed, so it must be the case with Xiahou Dun. Not to mention coming to save him, it was not easy for Xiahou Dun to escape by himself, so he did not expect Xiahou Dun to break through the siege and then come to save him.
But he was dragged here by Guan Xingtuo, and he wanted to escape but could not. There were fewer and fewer soldiers around him. I really didn't know how to escape.
Guan Xing saw this opportunity. He cut it off with one knife and took it straight to his left shoulder. Thanks to Cao Zhang's reaction, he hurriedly avoided it, and then stabbed it out of his long halberd, forcing Guan Xing to return to his knife to protect himself, avoiding the crisis of continuing to pursue.
But he finally slapped his shoulder, and a small piece of flesh was cut off by the knife. At this time, blood sprayed out, dyeing his entire left arm blood red.
He immediately made up his mind and decided to take Guan Xing several blows, and then fight to the death. He was preparing to sacrifice his life and escape even if he was seriously injured.
With this determination, a halberd hit Guan Xing in his hand, which made Guan Xing think in his heart that Cao Zhang felt that there was no hope, but he was going to fight to the death at this time.
The big knife in his hand was crossed, and he felt his hands trembling. The big knife seemed to jump out of his hand, but his arms were all numb and lost consciousness.
Grinning, Guan Xing said in his mouth: "It's so powerful!" Then he waved the big knife in his hand, ready to calm down and then fight Cao Zhang a few more times.
Unexpectedly, he looked up again and saw Cao Zhang pushing his horse head and killing him out of the village. Guan Xing saw that, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly shouted: "People general, where can we escape?" After drinking, he adjusted his direction and chased after him.
Cao Zhang ignored him and just rushed forward. When many Jingzhou soldiers greeted him with swords, as long as it was not fatal injuries, he would not even hide. He just urged the horse to run forward, and kept killing the enemy soldiers blocking the road in front of the horse on the spot, forcing a bloody road from the encirclement of Jingzhou soldiers.
