Chapter 189 (1/2)
”Big brother!” Xia Houyuan rushed into XiahouDun's tent and said to Xia Houdun, who was looking up the documents, ”elder brother! It's been three days! Are we really going to stay here for a month? ”
Xia Houdun smiles and looks at his second younger brother. He answers the wrong question: ”second brother, it's so late now. Why don't you go to rest?”
Today, the 120000 Cao troops led by him have been besieged around Jinyang city for three days. During this period of time, the garrison in the city also made several breakthroughs, but they were all repulsed by Cao's army, and the whole army of Xiliang army, which broke through the encirclement once, was wiped out. From this, Xia Houdun judged that there should not be much surplus food in the city, otherwise these troops who broke through the encirclement would not be so crazy, which strengthened his plan to besiege the city.
Seeing Xia Houdun's smile but no answer, Xia Houyuan became more anxious and said to him, ”brother! You forget that you promised to attack Jinyang city before the Lord's arrival. If we had waited for a month, the LORD would have arrived, wouldn't that sour old man Tian Feng be proud of? ”
Xia Hou Dun could not help but feel cold when he thought of Tian Feng, but then returned to normal. He said to Xia Houyuan, ”don't worry. I have sent a letter to the Lord, telling him that I will besiege Xu Rong's main force in Jinyang City, and suggest that the Lord take the opportunity to seize other cities and counties in Bingzhou. When the LORD came back from seizing other cities and counties, the city of Jinyang must have been broken. ”
Xia Houyuan heard that XiahouDun had arranged all the arrangements, and there was no hope. He had to go out in a huff. It seemed that he still expected that the enemy would break through the city to kill him tomorrow.
Seeing Xia Houyuan go, Xia Houdun laughed and looked down at the military documents. The besieged city does not mean doing nothing. He should be the commander-in-chief of the army to ask about all the major and minor affairs in the army, otherwise it will be a mess. At present, Cao Cao's power is becoming more and more powerful, but the civilian officials are in urgent need. Originally, these things were done by the leaders of the army or joining the army. However, in Xia Houdun's army, there were only military generals and no civil servants. Now only Xia Houdun came to do these things himself.
There was a great difference between Cao Jifeng and Cao Tianli, but there was a contradiction between them.
Xia Hou Dun was dumbfounded. It seems that this kind of thing should be something that Cao Cao's civil servants should worry about, and there is no need for him, a general, to get involved. He tossed his head, forced to drive away those meaningless thoughts, picked up the bamboo slips on the table, and began to carefully check the consumption of food and grass on this day.
XiahouDun had just read a few lines, and felt that his mouth was dry. He reached out to take the water plate which was set aside. He had just touched it with his hand, but he found that the water dish was constantly shaking, which made Xia Houdun feel very strange. At this time, suddenly heard outside the big tent the noise and roar, XiahouDun frowned, how these soldiers are still noisy so late. He immediately forgot about the shaking of the water dish and stood up and went out.
As soon as the curtain door of the big tent was lifted, the noise and roar grew louder and louder. XiahouDun frowned and asked the guard standing outside the tent: ”what's the matter? Where is the noise? ”
The guard Sergeant clasped his fist and said, ”general! It's like the noise coming from the camp on the west side of the city, but I don't know why. ”
”West of the city?” XiahouDun frowned. Did the enemy break through? However, the one who guards the west of the city is Yuejin. With him, the enemy forces will not leave unless the whole city army pours out. However, even so, lejin can support for a period of time and send people to deliver letters.
Though he could not think of any more problems, XiahouDun always had some uncomfortable feeling in his heart, and said to the guard, ”go and find out what's going on? Go and come back
”Here it is As soon as the guard turned around to leave, he saw a horse not far from the front. XiahouDun looked by the moonlight, but it was the general in the west of the city who was happy to enter.
At this time, lejin was not as steady as usual, and his face was full of panic. As soon as he saw XiahouDun standing outside the tent, speeding up the speed of his mount, he waved to him and called out, ”Yuan rang! Yuan rang! Not good! It's a big deal
