Chapter 517: Golden Cicada Shelling Scheme
Cao Cao didn't expect that there would really be an ambush here in Mount Tai, and it also caused Xi Zhicai to be injured by an arrow, he was furious and ordered the whole army to search the mountain and annihilate all the ambush soldiers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Lord Qi, the military advisor is not dead!" said the military doctor who rushed to hear the news after quickly treating Xi Zhicai, who had passed out.
"Really?" Cao Cao was in extreme grief, and couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, "Are you sure?"
"Well, the arrow in the military advisor is the end of the strong crossbow, and it can be seen that the sneak attacker is far away from here, so this arrow is only a hit, and it will not be life-threatening!" The military doctor called Xi Zhicai's pulse again, and said to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao exhaled now: "It's really as you said, then why did he pass out?"
"The military advisor has always had an old illness that has not been cured, and with the new injury just now, the originally weak body can't help but be so badly injured. ”
"Old disease?" Cao Cao couldn't help but think of his usual lack of concern for Xi Zhicai, Xi Zhicai was born in a poor family, lost his parents when he was young, so he studied hard in Yingchuan Academy during the day since he was a child, and did chores at night to pay for the needs of the academy, and later came to Luoyang to seek official status and became acquainted with Cao Cao, the two have been through thick and thin for several years, and now looking at the faint Xi Zhicai, all kinds of indescribable emotions are surging in his heart, he asked the military doctor word by word, "Can you find out?"
"It's hard to say! The pulse of the military advisor is very disordered, and the ability of his subordinates is limited! I'm ashamed......" The military doctor looked at Cao Cao's eyes in fear.
"Ahh
"Carry the military advisor to the back and take care of it! If he makes a mistake, you can cut it yourself!" Cao Cao said coldly, pulled out his sword, he was too impulsive just now, and he rashly ordered an attack without knowing the reality of the other party, and now it seems that his casualties are not serious, it can be seen that the other party does not have many men, it is estimated that it is less than a thousand, but it occupies a favorable terrain.
However, the other party actually shot and injured his henchmen, so how could he let them go!
"The whole army is on alert, erect shields into a defensive formation! Exit the mountain road. ”
"My lord, there is a sharpshooter in the enemy camp!" the left army led by Xiahou Yuan followed, knowing what had just happened here, and with his intuition as a marksman, he had a very accurate intuition about it.
Cao Cao nodded: "What Miaocai said is extremely true, I don't know whose army it is, although the number is small, but the combat power is extraordinary, it can never be Lu Bu's army, does anyone still want to meddle in the affairs of Yanzhou?"
"Report to the lord!" an unknown team has appeared at the exit of the dangerous road of Mount Tai ahead, and it is too far to determine who is in command!" the sentry panted and reported.
"Another troops?" Cao Cao frowned.
"The other party didn't attack, obviously and was also restrained by the ambush on the mountain, and didn't dare to act rashly, this ambush is not simple!" Xiahoudun's right army was not slow, originally he took care of the rear army, and when he saw that something happened here, he quickly followed.
"Then at least we can make sure that the ambush soldiers on the mountain and the army on the opposite side are not in a group!" Cao Cao said.
"But what should we do? Take a detour and take the main road, you can already see the border of Puyang!" Xiahou Yuan said dissatisfiedly.
"Of course not, no one can make Cao Mengde's army turn, whether active or passive, pass the order, rest here tonight, cut off the waterways here, and pay attention to prevent people from robbing the camp!" Cao Cao dropped a sentence and rode back to the Chinese army to visit Xi Zhi.
It was getting late, and the Xiahou brothers shook their heads helplessly, it seemed that this was the only way.
After a good night's sleep, no one came to rob the camp, and yes, looking at the world, there are really few people with this courage who dare to rob the Cao camp!
Seeing that dawn was approaching and the sky was filled with gray and white colors, Cao Cao put down the military book in his hand and looked at Xi Zhicai in a coma, but he didn't know when Xi Zhicai had woken up, and he wanted to laugh but was involved in the wound and inhaled in pain.
"Zhicai, don't move, after this battle, I will punish you for resting for half a year!" Cao Cao said anxiously and angrily.
"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness, but unfortunately I'm not an idle person, who knows when this battle will end, and who knows what the situation in the world will be in half a year?"
"No matter what the situation, your body is more important than anything, even if you help me win the world, but without you as a confidant, how can I go on!" Cao Cao said with tears in his eyes.
"My body is not important, the great cause of the lord is important, no matter when the lord you have to go on strongly!" Xi Zhicai suddenly laughed.
"You can still laugh at this time!" Cao Cao glared at him.
"This little wound outside the skin is really nothing!" Xi Zhicai coughed twice, approached Cao Cao's ear and said, "No matter how serious my injury is, can it be worse than the injury when Gao Yi almost died in Wancheng a few years ago?"
Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he knew that Xi Zhicai had something to say.
Xi Zhicai continued to talk to himself: "The man who healed Gao Yi's injury is more familiar with the lord than us, because he is the lord of the country!"
"Hua Tuo?" Cao Cao wondered.
"Yes, I heard that Hua Tuo, with the support of Gao Yi, has now opened a museum in Wancheng to teach a lot of apprentices, and plans to send these apprentices to various states and counties!" Xi Zhicai breathed a sigh of relief and lay down again, looking at Cao Cao with strange eyes.
Cao Cao understood: "If the order goes down, Xi Zhicai is seriously ill, and immediately pay a lot of money to invite the famous doctor Hua Tuo to come to Juancheng for diagnosis and treatment!"
After saying that, Cao Cao came to the front army again, and looked at the place where the damned ambush soldiers were, but only saw the rising fire!
It's not good, I'm afraid the enemy has seen the disparity in power, and wants to set fire to the mountain and die with himself!
It is surrounded by lush trees on all sides, and if it really catches fire, the consequences are unimaginable!
Cao Jun also found out about this situation, and couldn't help but exclaim!
At this moment, a fast horse galloped across the mountain road.
Cheng Li?
The person who came was Cheng Li, and when he got off the horse beside Cao Cao, he bowed: "Cheng Li sees the lord!"
Cao Cao immediately helped Cheng Li up, held his hand tightly and said: "I have heard about Zhongde's affairs in Yanzhou, without Zhongde's help, I have nowhere to live, please accept Cao Cao's worship!"
"How dare you slack off, if the lord worships, he will treat Zhongde as an outsider!" Cheng Li said in fear, "If you can persist until the lord returns, Zhongde's efforts will not be in vain!"
"Your troops on the other side?" Cao Cao asked.
"Yes, he is a general, without the consent of the lord, please surrender the lord!"
"What is Zhongde's words? If you ask me for everything, Yanzhou will be able to keep it? What gives me a headache is this ambush army, and Zhicai is injured because of it!"
"What, Xi Zhicai is injured? Is it serious?" Cheng Li immediately asked.
"It's not good, it's not bad, so I must torture this ambush army slowly!" Cao Cao's eyes burst with anger.
"This ambush is not simple, even Lu Bu's army has suffered his loss!" Cheng Li said.
"Huh?" Cao Cao asked.
"This matter will be explained to the lord in the future, and now our situation is not optimistic!" Cheng Li said.
"No, Zhongde, have you noticed a characteristic of this fire?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.
"What are the characteristics?" Cheng Li really didn't pay attention.
"First, the fire was lit against the wind, and second, the trees on the periphery of the fire had been cut down before the fire was lit. ”
"......" Cheng Li was a little puzzled.
"We're not in danger! They don't really want to be against us, and they certainly don't really want to be against Lu Bu, I felt a little wrong at the beginning, and now I understand!"
"What does the lord understand?" Cheng Li thought for a while, and also had a little epiphany.
"The whole army marches to Puyang!" Cao Cao ordered.
"Isn't the lord afraid of an ambush attack?" asked Cheng Li.
"What is the twenty-first plan of the thirty-six plans?" Cao Cao asked.
The golden cicada is out of its shell!
Sure enough, the soldiers sent by Cao Cao to search the mountain only found an empty mountain full of flags, but they did not see any clues that could determine the identity of the enemy.
Ran away?
It was run away, after setting fire to the mountain, Tai Shici led the hundreds of people, with the secret signal, quickly met with Guan Hai in Danyang, seeing that everyone was safe and sound, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Guan Hai also brought his teenage sister orchestra, everyone gathered by the river while studying the way out in the future, while discussing Gao Yi.
"Finally, I lived up to Gao Fujun's entrustment and successfully caught Cao Cao off guard!" Tai Shici said excitedly.
"I'm afraid it's not just Cao Cao!" said the orchestra on the side.
"Well, Lu Bujun also suffered a little loss, but with this little strength, it's just an itch in the boots!"
"But what is the purpose of the lord's this?" Guan Hai wondered.
"It's very simple, General Tai Shici's ambush role is another aspect, first, let Lu Bu know that Cao Cao is a person who is good at using strategy, and second, let Cao Cao treat Lu Bu as a strong enough opponent to fight, and he can't underestimate the enemy at all. The orchestra said.
"In other words, we are a special chess piece, a free chess piece!" Tai Shici was amazed that the orchestra was not only beautiful, but also very special.
He didn't know that Guan Hai's men and horses had always been managed by this sister, so he was able to be like a fish in water in Qingzhou, and this retreat was also retreated.
The orchestra glanced at Tai Shici and continued: "Not only that, have you ever thought about why Gao Fujun wants us to come here, Danyang is not a place to live for a long time, it must be for us to cross the Huaishui River and develop in the south, there are not many wars in the south now, and the various princes are incompetent, if we can unify it, even if we can't dominate the world, at least we can divide one side!"
"Huh!" everyone was shocked, no one thought of this, if Gao Yi was present, he would definitely be amazed by the foresight of the orchestra.
"But it doesn't seem to have much to do with the ambush. Tai Shi Ci said what he thought.
"It has a lot to do with it!" Orchestra looked at Guan Hai, her face becoming more and more charming under the cover of the bonfire, as if she was drunk, "This ambush army delayed the decisive battle of Cao Cao and Lu Bu, and second, made the two of them determined to fight for the dominance of Yanzhou with all their might. ”
"Is the effect so great?" even Guan Hai, who had always been obedient to him, couldn't help but question.
"Yes, let's wait and see, the decisive battle between Lu Bu and Cao Cao, no matter who wins, will be a miserable victory, in that case, we will not be able to attack Yuan Shu to interfere with our pace of unifying Jiangnan!"
"It's such a good prospect, what is the lord going to Cao Cao for?" Guan Hai was puzzled.
"Yes, that's what I thought. The orchestra looked at the two of them, "I feel that the lord is obviously a superfluous move to join Cao Ying, if I have to add a reason, it is that I feel that I am still too young and have insufficient experience, I should take this opportunity to meet Lu Bu, who is unparalleled in the world for a while, not only to train myself, but also to make a name for myself." Later, I thought about it and felt that these were secondary. ”
"So what's the main thing?" asked Tai Shici.
"Recruit talents!"
