Chapter 197 Cao’s thief’s mastermind is Xun You, and his father’s mastermind is Yunqi

It was sunny yesterday, but after one night, it started to snow.

Snowflakes fell all over the sky, flying like goose feathers.

Decorate the interior and exterior of Xudu City into a blanket of silver!

Xiahou Dun's son Xiahou Mao, Xiahou Yuan's second son Xiahou Ba, and third son Xiahou Wen, together with their servants, a group of men with light fur and fat horses, and their carriages loaded with prey, returned after being exhausted.

As if, taking advantage of such a heavy snowfall, they went hunting in the snow.

Xia Houmao shouted: "It's still fun to hunt in the snow."

Xiahou Ba said with a smile: "Yes, the animals are frozen and can't run fast. One shot is always accurate. Hunting like this is too boring. In such weather, you should gallop on the battlefield! Shoot the living enemy!"

Xiahou Ba was a militant, and his eagerness to fight on the battlefield could not be hidden at all.

Xia Hou said he understood, "Second brother is afraid that seeing Brother Ziwen (Cao Zhang) go to round up Guan Yu, I will feel itchy!"

Xiahou Ba sighed "Alas", "Not only Ziwen has gone, but Zihuan and Zijian have also gone, but uncle does not allow us to go...We must garrison Xudu, haha, Xiangfan has not been broken, Xudu City has

What's so good about garrisoning? We've lost such a great feat as 'Ambush from Flying Daggers' in vain."

Xia Houmao was also full of emotions, "Yes, isn't the great ancestor Liu Bang the overlord of Chu who defeated House of Flying Daggers? This time, the encirclement and suppression of Guan Yu is another battle at Gaixia that has lasted four hundred years!"

Xiahou Cheng said sadly, "How long has it been? I still think about the great ancestor of the Han family. When he mentioned the ambush on all sides, the eldest brother Zilin (Xiahou Mao) should not have thought that it was the fight between his uncle and the traitor Yuan Shao."

Is it the 'Battle of Cangting'? Mr. Cheng Yu suggested a plan to my uncle, ambushed him from all sides and seriously wounded Yuan Benchu, beating him until he vomited blood and died!"

"Hahahaha..." Xia Houmao laughed, "Uncle Quan (Xia Houcheng) said it right. The world belongs to our uncle now. There is nothing to do with the Han family. But Guan Yu, will he do the same?

Yuan Benchu ​​vomited blood and died? Let’s not talk about it anymore. So many wild game came to my house for us to drink and roast at the same time.”

"Forget it!" Xia Houba and Xia Houcheng waved their hands, "After Brother Zilin got married to Princess Qinghe, I heard that Princess Qinghe didn't allow Brother Zilin to drink!"

Mentioning this, Xia Houmao snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the fact that he is the uncle's daughter..."

As he said this, Xiahou Mao suddenly saw his father Xiahou Dun on the tower of Xudu City in front of him.

Although they were far apart,... Xia Houmao still swallowed back everything he wanted to say out of timidity.

"What is uncle doing here?" Xiahou Ba asked curiously.

"It's probably the same ambush from all sides to surround and suppress Guan Yu, right?" Xia Hou replied.

Xiahou Ba nodded, "I guess my uncle is worried that in such weather, it will be difficult for Guan Yu to march, and it will be even later for him to enter the ambush."

Over here, three descendants of the Xiahou family returned with a full load of prey.

Over there, Xiahou Dun on the city tower noticed them and knew that they were returning from hunting in the snow. He did not greet his sons and nephews, but looked in the direction of Xiangfan with a frown.

Speaking of which, after Cao Cao captured Hanzhong, he sent Xiahou Dun back to Xudu without stopping.

They are worried about the turmoil in Xudu City and even within the Central Plains.

You know, on the tenth day of the fifth lunar month two years ago, Emperor Xian made Cao Cao the Duke of Wei, made the ten counties under Jizhou a fiefdom for Cao Cao, added "Nine Tins", and was allowed to wear dragon robes, crowns and red gifts.

shoe.

In November, the State of Wei established ministers, ministers and six ministers.

In December, Cao Cao resumed corporal punishment.

That is to say, from that time on, more and more clans opposed Cao Cao.

The death of Xun Yu and Xun Lingjun set off a storm of rebellion against Cao among the clan.

It can be said that since two years ago, Cao Cao has never been on an expedition for more than a year.

He always needs to be on guard against chaos in Kyoto!

The reason why he did not return from Hanzhong immediately after conquering Hanzhong this time was because the temptation of "Ba Shu" was too great, and also because he knew Liu Bei too well.

——The only heroes in the world are Zhijun and Caoer!

If Liu Bei and Liu Xuande were given enough time to develop, it would not be scabies, but a serious problem.

It is precisely for this reason that after capturing Hanzhong, Cao Cao immediately sent Xiahou Dun, who had accompanied him on the expedition, back to Xudu.

First, he was stationed in Kyoto to prevent turmoil in the Central Plains;

Secondly, it also prevents changes in the situation in Xiangfan and Hefei.

Who would have thought, what are you afraid of...what will happen.

The situation in Xiangfan has really changed suddenly!

Xiahou Dun was not in a relaxed mood.

At this moment, he looked towards Xiangfan with one eye, and chanted in his mouth: "In this snowy day, Guan Yunchang's march will not slow down, right? Don't let any accident happen!"

Xiahou Dun felt inexplicably worried.

But soon, his eyes tightened again, and he grinned, "I must be too worried. In this weather, Guan Jiajun will definitely be like that frozen beast, ready to be slaughtered!"

Speaking of this... Xiahou Dun regained his self-confidence.

only…

If nothing else happens, there will definitely be an "accident"!

"General General——" At this moment, a guard quickly reported, "Something happened in Xu Capital City."

And with the words of this personal guard...

Xiahou Dun's cheeks instantly became solemn...and gloomy.

…

…

The magnificent Xiangyang City Government Office.

Now Zhao Yan, the "acting governor" here, hurried out. He quickly rode to the city tower, got off his horse, and trotted all the way up the city tower, looking at the Guan army waiting in heavy snow outside the city.

——The armor is like ink, which is very obvious in the pale snow;

——The spears are like a forest, just like... This army shows its unshakable determination to regard death as home.

this…

When Zhao Yan saw this scene, his legs staggered and he almost fell over, he murmured.

"This is wrong!"

Indeed, according to Zhang Liao's analysis and the plan left by Prime Minister Cao.

Now... the Guan army should cross the river and rush to attack Fancheng.

How could it be Xiangyang?

Capture Fancheng? Not only can it threaten Xu, Luo... Xiangyang City will be destroyed without attack!

At this time, there is no point in attacking Xiangyang, which is surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side!

You must know that although Xiangyang and Fancheng are only separated by a river, where the Guan family's army attacks are separated by clouds and mud.

Fancheng is north of Jingjiang River and closer to Cao Wei's territory.

The ambush there will be very hidden, and it will be easier to set up an "ambush from all directions" array.

Can…

Xiangyang City is located south of Jingjiang River.

Even closer was Guan Yu's territory, and whenever there was any movement, the Guan Army's scouts would spot it.

The ambush is bound to be discovered, let alone "ambush from all sides" or "catching a turtle in a urn"!

this…

——Something is wrong!

At this moment, Zhao Yan's cheeks curled up coldly. Facing the Guan family army below the city, he was a little panicked for a moment.

He looked around, but found that there was no one who could really discuss it!

last night…

Zhang Liao has already led his troops to Fancheng. In other words, the only people in Xiangyang City now are Zhao Yan and five thousand defenders.

"Gudong" sound...

Zhao Yan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his heart felt extremely heavy.

——"What if 30,000 Guan family troops come to attack the city? Even if Xiangyang is... afraid... afraid, it won't be able to defend it!"

——"The Guan army won't...can't attack the city, right? They...they must have created a false formation, and they were planning to attack Xiangyang, but in fact...they were going...to attack Fancheng urgently. This must be the case, this must be the case!"

For a moment, Zhao Yan's brows furrowed.
