Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 340 Coincidence
"You don't know the art of war?" Twenty miles away from Xuchang, when Yuan Tan learned that Chu Nan was not proficient in the art of war during the chat, he looked at Chu Nan in astonishment.

As far as he knew, Chu Nan pacified the two counties of Jianghuai and led troops to kill all directions in Runan. Even Cao Ying's fierce general Xiahou Dun was killed by Chu Nan. If you say that such a person does not understand the art of war, who will believe him?
Originally, I wanted Chu Nan to be his general for the time being, and to attack the city. After all, the abilities of the two generals under his command, one Zong Wang and the other Cen Bi, really made Yuan Tan feel uneasy in this battle. The fact that Chu Nan was by his side was also a reason for agreeing to come here.

"It can't be said that I don't understand it at all." Chu Nan smiled modestly: "So far, the nine secrets of the imperial army, I can use the secrets of wind and hidden characters, and the others have not yet been practiced."

Yuan Tan: "..."

Cen Bi can already use the Five Secrets, and Zong Wang can even use the Seven Secrets. Compared to that, Chu Nan, who only knows the Two Secrets, is really...

"Then he..." Yuan Tan looked at Zhou Cang who was at the side, he remembered that he was a fierce general, he broke Cen Bi's battle formation with a single blow.

"The final general is proficient in the secrets of mountain characters and broken characters!" Zhou Cang said proudly.

Why so proud?

Yuan Tan couldn't figure out the reason for Zhou Cang's pride.

"Zhou Cang is born with supernatural power and is unparalleled in bravery." Chu Nan briefly introduced Zhou Cang's ability.

In fact, Zhou Cang is not bad at martial arts. In terms of this alone, even if it is not first-rate, it is the second-rate top group. As for the commander, 200 people Zhou Cang can still command, but if the number exceeds this number, the combat effectiveness will plummet. Because Chu Nan stayed by his side, Pei Yuanshao had already started to lead the army.

With 200 people, Pei Yuanshao is far behind Zhou Cang, but if it reaches 2000 people, Zhou Cang will probably be able to draw with the opponent with his personal bravery, and if he goes up, Pei Yuanshao will be able to suppress Zhou Cang in turn. If he reaches [-] people, Pei Yuanshao You can abuse Zhou Cang.

Of course, Pei Yuanshao's talent, 2000 people is the limit, no matter how many, he can't do it.

Yuan Tan looked at Zhou Cang, then at Chunan: "Ziyan flattened Jianghuai, fought against Runan, participated in countless battles, Liu Xun, Xiahoudun and other generals were defeated by you, don't you know the art of war?"

"It's all due to the hard work of the soldiers, plus my father-in-law and some of my fierce generals..." Chu Nan gave Yuan Tan a knowing look.

Yuan Tan did understand. He fought in Hebei without a single defeat. Basically, every time he went to war, he was surrounded by generals like Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Lan who were in charge of coordinating the entire army. It cannot be said that Yuan Tan is useless. , but Yuan Tan is very clear that half of the meritorious deeds attributed to him are actually helped by others.

But you are too bad yourself, you can only use two of the nine secrets of the imperial army?I have come up with secrets of water characters and sleepy characters, and basically know how to do it.

He glanced at Chu Nan with some distaste. The distance of twenty miles was really not far for the troops supported by the military formation. They had already sensed their existence and closed the four doors tightly.

Yuan Tan did not bring any large siege equipment with him this time. Without strong generals to break through the city, it might not be easy to capture the city.

"Does Ziyan have a plan to break the city?" Yuan Tan looked at the city that had already appeared in sight, somewhat lacking in confidence.

Xuchang is the rear area of ​​Cao's army, and there must be heavy troops guarding it. Although he has a large number of troops, he may not be able to attack Xuchang by force.

"Attack if you can break through, it doesn't matter if you can't break through." Chu Nan laughed.

"What does Mr. Ziyan mean by that?" The advisor on the side frowned and looked at Chu Nan.

"Actually, I just need to let the Shouzhang defenders know that our army has arrived in Xuchang, and it will be considered a victory." Chu Nan said with a smile: "Now that the main force of our army is attacking Shouzhang, we already have no time to spare and morale is low. If we know that Mr. Yuan has arrived And cut off their return, the morale of the army will be shaken."

"Sir, do you mean that the soldiers of Shouzhang and Zhang were invited to attack because of the need to prosper, and our army will wait for work to attack them?"

"Regardless of whether Shou Zhang's soldiers come to rescue him or not, he will definitely lose this battle." Chu Nan shook his head. Defeat is undoubtedly, the ending was already doomed when they appeared here, the question is only what kind of defeat this battle will be.

Yuan Tan nodded half-understanding, but he was relieved in his heart. He looked at Chu Nan and said, "So, our army only needs to be stationed here in case the enemy comes to rescue us?"

"That's the truth, but brother Xiansi doesn't want to take down Xuchang to show off his military prestige?" Chu Nan asked with a smile.

"Ziyan has a plan to destroy the city?" Yuan Tan's eyes lit up, and he looked at Chu Nandao.

"Of course there is no strategy for breaking the city. I will tell you later that I don't know the art of war." Chu Nan shook his head: "However, given the current situation of Cao Jun and the reputation of the Yuan family, why not try to recruit them? Everyone in the meeting is willing to fight to the death, but of course, this may not be possible.”

"But I don't know who can go to surrender?" Yuan Tan also felt reasonable when he heard the words, and looked at Chu Nan and said.

"I have too much enmity with Cao Jun. If I go, I'm afraid I won't be able to return. Brother Xiansi has a lot of talents. You can choose one person to lobby, and you can also explore the reality of the city." Chu Nan laughed.

He definitely won't go. As for who else will go, I don't know who will be the defender of the city. If he is a diehard Cao Cao, if he doesn't make it right, he will get angry from his heart and kill himself, and it will be over. , then look at Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan also felt reasonable, and looked at his counselor.

Cen Bi and Zong Wang still need to lead the army, and the two warriors may not be able to do the job, the counselor is good at arguing, so it is perfect for him to go.

"My lord, wait a moment, I'll go back when I go down!" The counselor smiled slightly, and after saluting Yuan Tan, he rode his horse straight to the city of Xuchang. .

"If you are willing to talk, it means you have a chance." Seeing this scene, Chu Nan's eyes lit up. It would be best if he could take down Xu Chang without bloodshed, and he would be able to retire.

On the other side, after the counselor entered the city, he soon saw General Xu Chang.

"Sir, our army and your army have always been on good terms, but I don't know why they came to attack?" Xuchang's guard is Qin Qi. Although he is not a general, he is also a general who can barely squeeze into the second echelon among Cao's troops. Hearing that Yuan Tan came to attack, he was really shocked as Chu Nan thought, after all, did Yuan Tan's joining mean that Yuan Shao also wanted to destroy Cao Jun?If so, how can they survive?
Therefore, when he heard that Yuan Tan sent an envoy, Qin Qi immediately ordered someone to bring him, in order to find out the truth.

"I don't agree with what the general said. You need to know that Mr. Cao is dead. As far as I know, your army is now under the command of Mr. Cao's son Cao Pi. Where did this come from?" the adviser said with a smile.

Qin Qi's complexion sank, she looked at the counselor and said, "Since that's the case, I don't know why sir came here?"

"It's for the general!" The counselor looked at Qin Qi and said with a smile: "General, Cao's army is in decline, and our army has formed an alliance with the Xuzhou army to attack together. The general thinks that you are lucky?"

"Hmph!" Qin Qi snorted coldly, but did not refute. With Yuan Jun's joining, they had indeed reached the end of the road.

"Our army joins, the defeat of Cao's army is certain. However, this is Cao's matter after all, and has nothing to do with the general. Has the general thought of a way out for himself?" Seeing Qin Qi's silence, the counselor continued to laugh.

Qin Qi looked at the counselor, hesitated for a moment and said: "Sir, I don't understand why your army can't unite with our army to deal with Lu Bu? Does Mr. Yuan know about this?"

Cao Cao treated him well, now that Cao Cao is dead, and Cao Jun is in danger, he does not want to leave at this time.

The counselor shook his head and said, "If you want to form an alliance, you must tell Yuan Gong, besides, now that Lv Bu is in a great position, Yuan Gong is still in Youzhou, and it is difficult to contain Lv Bu. If that is the case, why should you turn against him?"

"Mr. Yuan is still in Youzhou?" Qin Qi keenly sensed that something was wrong, and she looked at the counselor with a twitch in her heart: "Then how should I tell Mr. Yuan? Could it be that the eldest son decided this battle privately?"

"What's the difference between the announcement before the battle and the announcement after the battle? To tell the truth, the general, the outcome of this battle has been decided. Not only our army participated in the battle, but also Lu Bu's son-in-law Chu Nan was in the army outside the city. Nan..." The counselor also felt that he had said something wrong, so he quickly added.

Chu Nan also has a good reputation now, especially after beheading Xiahou Dun, it is just right to use it.

"Chunan!?" Who knew that it would be good if the name was not mentioned, but when the counselor mentioned it, Qin Qi seemed to explode, and roared as she slapped the table and looked at the counselor.

"Uh..." The counselor didn't expect such a big reaction from the other party, he nodded blankly and said: "Exactly, the general should know about this person."

"Of course I know!" Qin Qi looked at the counselor seriously, and said coldly, "You know, Cai Yang who died at the hands of Chu Nan in Runan was my uncle!"

The counselor's face twitched, he really didn't expect this, no wonder that Chu Nan didn't want to come to lobby, Cao's army was almost full of his enemies, and if he was not careful, he might meet someone like Qin Qi.

"Come here, cut off everyone's head and throw them out of the city!" Qin Qi shouted angrily, "Since Chu Nan is here, he still wants someone to surrender. Don't even think about it. Today, even this Xuchang fights to the point of a single soldier. Never surrender!"

Qin Qi's nature is like a raging fire. His father died early, and he has been practicing martial arts with his uncle since he was a child. After knowing that his uncle died on the battlefield, he was about to kill Chu Nan. Unfortunately, Cao Cao died in battle, and the morale of Cao's army was low. Having retreated all the way to this point, I thought that there was no hope of revenge in this life, but who would have thought that God would send that Chu Nan before my eyes.

"Think twice, general!" The counselor's complexion changed, and he said loudly, "This is the grievance between Chu Nan and the general, what does it have to do with me!?"

He really regretted mentioning Chu Nan's name. He wanted to use his reputation to scare the other party, but who knew that he met Chu Nan's enemy, self-defeating, and endangered his own life.

"Since you have joined forces with that Chu Nan, let me use your head. Today, I will use your head to sacrifice the flag, and wait for me to cut off the head of Chu Nan to pay homage to the spirit of my uncle in heaven!" People, new hatred and old hatred are welling up in their hearts at this moment, and the anger in their chests is like adding fuel to the fire. How can they listen to the other party's words? Immediately order people to cut off their heads, and then gather five thousand soldiers and horses to go out of the city. Nan beheaded!

The counselor screamed and was dragged out by the soldiers. After a while, he brought his head back. Qin Qi had also counted the soldiers and horses, and took his head and went all the way out of the city...
