Chapter 705 Before the decisive battle(1/2)
Han Sui's army tent:
"Report!"
The messenger shouted loudly outside the tent.
Han Sui, who had just fallen asleep, was suddenly awakened by the shouts of the soldiers outside the tent. He was so angry!
I really want to scold my mother.
In the past few days, Cao Cao led the Xiakou army to attack, which made Han Sui worried and frightened all day long.
I finally managed to fall asleep, but I was disturbed again and fell asleep.
After all, the Xiakou Army's combat prowess in recent years is well known to the world.
Regardless of whether it was fighting externally or internally, the Xiakou Army basically swept away the fallen leaves with the force of the autumn wind.
Faced with such a powerful army, Han Sui did not dare to be careless and lose Jingzhou. He still arranged carefully and carefully to defeat Cao's army.
Qualified to negotiate conditions with Xia Kou.
Han Sui was a very good general and counselor, and he was known as invincible in the Liangzhou area.
Han Sui, formerly known as Han Yue and courtesy name Wenyue, was a native of Jincheng, Liangzhou. He was a warlord and general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and one of the heroes of the late Han Dynasty.
Han Sui was first famous in Xizhou. He was kidnapped by the Qiang and Hu rebels and elected as their leader. So he raised 100,000 troops to rebel in the name of killing the eunuchs.
Han Sui fought against famous generals such as Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo, and Sun Jian, causing a sensation in the world.
Later, he accepted the imperial court's call for peace and supported the separatist rule for more than thirty years. Han Sui and Ma Teng once became brothers with different surnames, but their relationship later broke down.
In the 16th year of Jian'an, the princes of Guanxi jointly elected Han Sui as the governor, raised troops to rebel against Cao Cao, and were defeated in Weinan.
"Come in!"
Han Suidao.
"Report to Lord Han that the 20,000 Qiang cavalry ambushing in the mountains in front of Baohan were set on fire by the Xiakou Cavalry Division.
They were forced to withdraw from the jungle and were attacked by the Xiakou Cavalry Division. The Qiang cavalry was defeated, and only a dozen Qiang cavalry escaped back to Jincheng."
Send orders to soldiers.
What!
Twenty thousand Qiang cavalry were defeated!
How is that possible!
Why would Cao Cao know that we have Qiang cavalry lurking there?
It’s unscientific!
The place where the Qiang cavalry ambush was more than a hundred miles away from Jincheng. How could Cao Cao let Cao Cao detect it?
Suddenly, Han Sui's mind went blank.
sluggish!
Stupid!
I was speechless and dumbfounded for a long time.
After coming back to his senses, Han Sui immediately called the escaped Qiang people into the tent and asked them about the specific situation of the war.
After hearing the Qiang people's report, Han Sui was speechless.
There are experts in Cao’s army!
It is really unexpected to be able to see the reality in the military camp at a glance.
"Is there any news about the 30,000 Qiang cavalry on the west bank of the Yellow River?"
Han Suidao.
"Sir, I haven't received it yet."
Send orders to soldiers.
"Strengthen patrols and be careful of sneak attacks by the Xiakou Army. In previous battles, night battles by the Xiakou Army often occurred."
Han Suidao.
"As you command!"
Send orders to soldiers.
Han Sui was anxious!
He became more and more fearful of the Xiakou Army.
The last time Chen Dao came with his troops and horses, he originally thought he was going to have a decisive battle with the Xiakou Army, but Chen Dao did not continue to advance.
After only taking Longxi, Didao and Jieting, Qinchuan retreated and returned to attack Chang'an. Now Cao Jun came to kill him.
This is the rhythm to liberate Xiliang!
Jincheng is difficult to defend.
But what?
Jincheng is Han Sui's old enemy. To flee without a fight is a bit unreasonable and will make people laugh. Especially if you want to deceive the Qiang people, you must defend Jincheng.
Once Jincheng is lost, will the Qiang people still believe in themselves?
Tangled!
Han Sui was very confused.
Whether to defend Jincheng or to abandon Jincheng, Han Sui was hesitant. His original courage was no longer there.
Damn it!
Wait for a few days and then talk.
Han Sui had an idea in his mind.
Cao Cao's central army tent:
Lao Cao and Guo Jia were drinking, tasting the fine wine brought from Xiakou City. In fact, they were waiting for news, waiting for the good news of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun.
"In honor of Xiao, he ate 20,000 Qiang cavalry, and the 30,000 Qiang cavalry west of the Yellow River were guarded by Zhongkang's 3,000 tiger and leopard cavalry.
We can attack boldly tomorrow with confidence, teach Han Sui a lesson, and strive to capture Jincheng in a short time."
Cao Cao said.
"We have the Qin Nu in our hands, as well as the catapults built by the craftsmen accompanying the army. Whether it is the Qin Nu or the catapult,
They were all heavy siege weapons. Han Sui's soldiers could not resist. It was only a matter of time before they captured Jincheng.
It depends on whether Han Sui defends Jincheng or escapes. In either case, it is a foregone conclusion that Han Sui will lose his troops and generals."
Guo Jiadao.
Lao Cao and Guo Jia really work together well.
Cao Cao is the best commander in the world, and Guo Jia is the best strategist in the world. The combination of the two makes the enemy frightened.
Invincible!
Best partner!
"Report!"
An order from outside the tent was sent to the soldiers.
"Come in."
Cao Cao said.
"Report to General Cao, Military Advisor Guo, and General Xia Houyuan that they have returned and escorted more than 10,000 Qiang prisoners back to the camp. In addition, they also captured tens of thousands of war horses."
Send orders to soldiers.
"Please invite generals Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun to come in."
Cao Cao said.
"As you command!"
Send orders to soldiers.
"I've met General Cao and Military Advisor Guo!"
Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun saluted with clasped fists.
The two generals exuded a strong smell of blood and were stained with blood. They looked miserable.
"Miaocai, Yuan Rang, thank you for your hard work! Are you two injured?"
Cao Cao said.
"General, the blood on our bodies is the blood of the Qiang people. The two of us were not harmed. Thank you, General, for your love."
