The Legend of Pei Yuanqing of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 369 Reinforcement Han Hao
Cao Zhang excitedly shook Jia Xu's hand and said, "Please ask the military advisor to teach me what should I do now?"

Jia Xu laughed and said, "The major general doesn't need to do anything, just wait here, when the time comes, reinforcements will arrive!"

"Reinforcement? Who will bring reinforcements here? There should be no reinforcements at this time, and it is even more unlikely that my father will send reinforcements to help me. If I lose, I can only go back obediently and accept the bet. After all, 20 troops is not a small number. Where is it?" I'm ashamed to ask for reinforcements." Cao Zhang sighed, with a look of unwillingness.

Suddenly, he thought of something, and said with a big mouth, "Could it be that the military adviser is talking about Cao Zhi? Will he help me? Or, do you have any plans?"

Jia Xu shook his head and smiled, "Cao Zhi is competing with you, General, for the position of heir. Of course he won't help you, and he won't even attack Fancheng."

"Who is the reinforcement army that the military adviser refers to?" Cao Zhang was puzzled.

Looking at Cao Ren and Cao Hong, the two also looked at a loss.

Jia Xu explained helplessly, "The general will not think that my lord is really assured that you and Mr. Cao Zhi will lead the army alone, right? Although there are generals to protect you, the battlefield is not a joke, so the lord must have left behind and will let a support army Followed quietly behind us, and now the news of our defeat may also reach the ears of the reinforcement general, I believe he will come to rescue us in a short time."

"He was ordered to come here, and his mission is to protect you, Major General. He doesn't dare to watch you have an accident. He will definitely rush over to find you, General." Having said this, Jia Xu suddenly said seriously, "If he comes, the General will Try to persuade him to help the general attack Fancheng, with his troops joining us, our chances of winning will increase by one point, and I have other countermeasures."

Cao Zhang was dumbfounded when he heard it. It turned out that the military adviser was so thoughtful, which was amazing, but he still said unsurely, "Since he came here on the order of his father, he must not help me, right?"

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Why doesn't the general try it? If it succeeds? It is a person who has weaknesses. As for where the weaknesses are, the major general needs to grasp them himself."

"Can the military division give some advice?" Cao Zhang asked expectantly.

Jia Xu shook his head and smiled, "It's up to you, General, we can't intervene."

Cao Zhang was helpless, groaning for a while and clenching his fists for the countermeasures. The most serious thing was that he still didn't know who his father would send to protect him.

At this moment, the sound of galloping horses and the noise of soldiers suddenly sounded outside.

Cao Zhang frowned and said, "What's going on, go out and have a look."

Soon a soldier came back and reported, "General Qi, General Han Hao led his troops to rescue him!"

"General Han Hao? It's him?" Cao Zhang was taken aback. Han Hao was his father's confidant General of the Imperial Guard. It is very difficult to attack Fancheng.

"Let General Han Hao come in!" Cao Zhang said anxiously, while thinking about countermeasures.

Han Hao is not greedy for money or lustful, it can be said that he doesn't get in, he only listens to his father, how can he be persuaded?
Cao Zhang was very anxious, but soon Han Hao came to Cao Zhang with a few guards. Han Hao was relieved to see that Cao Zhang was safe and sound, and he cupped his hands and said, "The last general Han Hao pays homage to the young general!"

"General Han, hurry up and forgive me!" Cao Zhang hurriedly helped Han Hao up, knowingly asked in surprise, "General Han, why are you here?"

Han Hao said truthfully, "The last general was ordered to protect the major general. Now that the major general is safe and sound, I am relieved. The last general will resign!"

"Cough cough!" Jia Xu coughed twice on purpose, Cao Zhang understood, and hurriedly pulled Han Hao and said, "The general stays, I, I have something to say to the general!"

Han Hao was taken aback and said, "General, please tell me?"

Cao Zhang suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "General, to be honest, I underestimated the enemy this time, causing more than half of the troops to be lost. I will definitely be punished when I go back this time, so I want to make up for my mistakes and go back again. As long as I defeat Pei Feng, The previous failure will be written off, and the father will not blame me."

"I need your help, General, can you?" Cao Zhang begged.

Han Hao was stunned for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "Forgive the general for refusing, the general did not get the order from the lord to help the major general! The general's order is to save the general and go back safely when the major general is in danger."

Cao Zhang continued, "Did my father say that you can't help me? Since he didn't say so, why didn't the general want to help me? Could it be that I, Cao Zhang, can't compare to that Cao Zhi?"

"The last general only obeys the lord's orders," Han Hao said, meaning that he does not help anyone, and he does not choose Cao Zhang or Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhang closed his eyes and sighed softly, then cupped his hands to Han Hao and said, "The general is a loyal and brave man, loyal to his father, King Chidao, Cao Zhang admires him, Cao Zhang will no longer force the general, Cao Zhang also swears here, no matter what the general will do in the future Whoever I help, the general and the general’s family, I, Cao Zhang, will treat them kindly, because you are a loyal subject of my father! You are the one who has done my best for my Cao family, and I will remember it in my heart!”

After all, Cao Zhang bowed deeply, and then went back to sit down on the rock, resting his forehead on his hands, thinking about how to attack Fancheng.

Han Hao was moved by the worry on his face.

Seeing Han Hao's expression, Jia Xu knew that Han Hao had moved his heart of compassion, and he was full of admiration for Cao Zhang's acting skills. up.

Sure enough, Han Hao struggled for a long time. Cao Zhang's words made him think a lot. Indeed, now that Cao Cao is here, nothing will happen to Han Hao and his family, but what if Cao Cao is not here in the future?What about the descendants of his family?
Who cares about your descendants if you don't stand in line to help a person win the position of heir?It would be nice not to trouble you.

Han Hao was shaken, he didn't worry about himself, he only worried about his family and children.

Seeing Cao Zhang's worried appearance, Han Hao finally made up his mind, came to Cao Zhang and knelt down on one knee and said, "Young General, Han Hao has [-] soldiers and horses, let the general dispatch him!"

"What? The general is willing to help me?" Cao Zhang was overjoyed, and hurried over to help Han Hao up, and said happily, "The general's kindness, Cao Zhang will remember it in his heart, thank you!"

Jia Xu walked over and said with a smile, "Now that we have [-] troops to replenish our troops, the chances of attacking Fancheng are greatly increased. However, we need to repair the army now and wait until the right time to attack Fancheng."

"The right time? When is the right time?" Cao Zhang asked doubtfully.

Jia Xu was unpredictable and said, "Did the major general forget Cao Zhi? When Cao Zhang attacks a certain place, he will naturally help the general share some pressure. Maybe Pei Feng has gone to deal with Cao Zhi, so we can take advantage of it and attack Fancheng."

Cao Zhang's eyes lit up, and he said with sincere admiration, "The military adviser is really thoughtful, I actually forgot about this, alas, as expected, ginger is still old and spicy!"

"I'm Jiang?" Jia Xu almost stepped on the air and fell, Cao Zhang's words made his face darken a lot.

"Jiang Ziya is already old," Jia Xu said lightly, returning to his father-in-law's posture.

Cold sweat broke out on Cao Zhang's forehead, this military adviser is also the one who won't suffer!

. . . . .

Jiang Shu hurriedly came to the three counties of Shangyong to tell Pei Feng what he said, and then stayed in Xicheng to guard Xicheng together with Du Yuan.

Of course, Du Yuan was the general and he was the deputy general. Seeing that Du Yuan was a ruffian, Jiang Shu immediately felt disdainful. This kind of person is still a general, so Jiang Shu should be the one to do it.

Du Yuan and Jiang Shu didn't like each other either, so they didn't bother to pay attention to him and let him fend for himself.

The people here are all Du Yuan's, so Du Yuan is not afraid of him making any noise.

Shen Dan of Fangling and Mi Fang Pei Yuanshao of Shangyong received Jiang Shu's letter and immediately upgraded the city to a state of alert, adding protection to the city tower and a large number of archers and soldiers rushing to the tower, and sent scouts out of the city to inquire about news.

They didn't know that not far from them, a long army was taking a small road and approaching the three counties of Shangyong.
