Chapter 2 The Horse Hunting Dare to Come Out Together(2/2)
"Actually...why doesn't Cao Mengde want to risk his life to save Xiahou Miaocai? This is a person like his closest brother, and he is a real general with an average arm!" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but sigh again after making up his mind.
"This is the helplessness of the superior." Jia Xu sighed slightly. "Private relationships are private relationships, and state affairs are state affairs... If we really lose, by then everything will be overturned, and the person who dies will not just be Xia Houyuan!"
"That's why I said that this is a national war, and we can't be careless at all." Gongsun Xun responded calmly. "Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande were really forced to the point of burning their boats, and our chances of victory are not as great as we imagined.
However, the arrogance and coquettishness in the army is so pervasive that it is difficult to conceal the arrogance and coquettishness of the subordinates... For example, my original intention was that A Ding should stay in Ye and take charge, but his mother insisted on sending him.
This battle is bound to be won, and I want Ading to gain some qualifications...and because of the turmoil surrounding the establishment of the crown prince and the affairs in Liaodong, I can't refute his mother's wishes at this time."
Jia Xu responded silently.
"Does Wen He have any good ideas on how to deal with the arrogance in the army?" Gongsun Xun further raised his head and asked.
Jia Xu spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "The swords and soldiers are gradually rising. After a long period of fighting, the arrogant and charming anger will naturally disappear. If you want to go quickly, you have to kill another Wei Yue. How can you kill a general without any reason?"
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh: "So, if Xia Houyuan dies, Cao's army will be united in hatred and be purged for a while?"
Jia Xu shook his head and didn't answer.
Gongsun Xun nodded to each other, but said no more - war is always a reality made of absurdities. God knows what will happen to Xia Houyuan? And God knows how Cao Jun will react after this battle?
After a speechless night, Gongsun Xun ordered the whole army to go north and approach Suanzao on the next day, leaving Cao Cao with a place to cross the river. And just as he had guessed, Xia Houyuan did not abandon his troops and flee alone. On the contrary, in his consciousness
After he was suddenly surrounded, Cao Cao's general made a decisive decision and mobilized five thousand cavalry from Yanjin to the south overnight, trying to gather Xucheng along the way, and Suanzao's troops escaped together.
However, in the early morning of this day, shortly after his troops left Xucheng together with the defenders of Xucheng, suddenly Yan army troops came from the direction of the ditch to the west, and more and more troops came. In the end, it was only one morning, and they were completely
The army beyond imagination almost covered the narrow area around Yanjin, Xucheng, and Suanzao.
For a time, it seemed that the flags of the Yan army were everywhere!
It turned out that in order not to miss the deadline, Tian Yu and other generals used their previous war experience and the fact that the sewer water was only an artificial river, so they took advantage of the large number of people to build the bridge overnight, and at dawn, the entire army crossed the sewer and attacked Xiahou Yuan!
The quantity of the army is not of the same magnitude at all, and the quality is not good either... The main force of Xia Houyuan's army, the five thousand cavalry that Cao Jun has always regarded as a treasure, are basically all horses that have been born and raised in the Central Plains for several generations, and they are used for large-scale cavalry battles.
The experience was even more lacking, so as soon as the two sides encountered each other, Xia Houyuan's tribe was defeated like an avalanche, and then became the target of the Yan army's cavalry.
And as the troops of the Yan Army gradually gathered, especially in Yanjin, Xucheng had become vacant, and the attack troops booked there moved closer to the combat area... At this time, Xia Houyuan, who was in the midst of a rout, finally realized what he was.
What a desperate situation we have fallen into!
This is not a battle at all, it is a hunt!
As a prey, what should I do at this time? What can I do?!

"Xiahou, the Cao family, has been married for generations, so Dun, Yuan, Ren, Hong, Xiu, Shang, Zhen, etc. are close to the old heart and soul, and they are more valuable than the left and right, so they can work hard." - "Old Book of Yan". Volume 2
