Chapter 470: Cao Hong's Provocation
The terrain of Ershi Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. As Mi Zhu said, only one general is needed to lead 10,000 soldiers to be impregnable, and it is absolutely impossible for Cao Cao to pass through. Therefore, this seems to be a solid achievement. Cao Bao naturally would not give credit to others, so the general stationed at Ershi Mountain was a member of the Cao family, and this person was named Cao Xiong.
Speaking of Cao Xiong, there are also some stories.
When Cao Xiong was young, he was cowardly and timid by nature, but whenever there was a strong sound, his legs would tremble and he would hide under the desk. Every time there is thunder on a rainy day, Cao Xiong, who is already in his teens, even has to find someone to sleep with him. In this way, Cao Xiong was secretly called a bear, and his name was Cao Xiong. Later, in order to change Cao Xiong's character, the family sent him to the army to be sharpened, so as to change his cowardly and timid character. And in the army, Cao Xiong's personality has really changed dramatically. He was originally cowardly and timid, but now he dares to fight with tigers and leopards with his bare hands, but under Cao Bao's operation, he has become a partial general.
When the water is full, it overflows, and if it is prosperous, it will decline.
The cowardly and timid Cao Xiong's personality has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes, however, it has also had some bad influences. That is Cao Xiong became extremely irritable, ruthless, and arrogant. After each drink, the soldiers are whipped at the lightest, and the soldiers are beaten to death, for which Cao Bao does not have a headache.
And Cao Xiong's experience has naturally been sent to Cao Cao's hands. Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai discussed taking Ear Lion Mountain, and it was based on Cao Xiong's weakness that he had the confidence to take Er Lion Mountain, thus breaking Pei County. Otherwise, with the solidity of Pei County and Ershi Mountain, it is absolutely impossible to win it in a short period of time.
The day has just passed. At the end of the hour, Cao Cao's army came to the Ershi Mountain Pass to provoke.
I saw a horse riding forward. He is eight feet long, and his face is surrounded by a beard. Looking at his face, it is a fierce and evil person. This general is a brother in the Cao Cao clan, and Cao Hong is also!
Cao Hong held the Pu knife in one hand, urged the horse to step forward, and shouted to the Ershi Mountain Pass extremely arrogantly: "Who is the guard on the mountain, seeing that the general will not come out quickly to die." ”
The guard on the Ershi Mountain is naturally Cao Xiong, and when he heard Cao Hong's words, he suddenly jumped like thunder, and asked his cronies to bring war horses and big knives. He was going to put on his armor and rush out to fight Cao Hong to the death.
"Don't be impulsive, this is the enemy's trick, the general must not forget General Cao Bao's orders, fall for the enemy's tricks. ”
Seeing that Cao Xiong was so impulsive, a deputy general next to him stepped forward to hug Cao Xiong and persuaded him loudly. This person is also from the Cao family, but the relationship is a little remote. Therefore, only the position of a lieutenant was held. This time, let Cao Xiong pick up the credit, and Cao Cao can know Cao Xiong's character. Cao Bao is equally clear. Therefore, Cao Bao sent the more stable Cao Bin to serve as Cao Xiong's deputy general.
"Humph!"
When Cao Xiong heard Cao Bin mention Cao Bao, his originally angry face eased a lot. For Cao Bao, Cao Xiong is still a little afraid in his heart. In fact. Cao Xiong is not stupid, the reason why he is angry is because he sees that the opponent's soldiers and horses are only a few thousand. That's why I had the idea of going to war. If Cao Hong led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the mountain, I am afraid that Cao Xiong will think how brave he is. There will be no thoughts of going to war.
"Thief, Ben will let you go today. Don't hurry up and go home!" Although Cao Xiong was persuaded, he was still unhappy in his heart, and drank in a rough voice to Cao Hong at the bottom of the mountain.
"Haha!"
Cao Hong laughed when he heard this, and scolded: "A coward, you dare to be so rampant, if you dare to come out, General Ben will definitely cut you under the horse with one sword." There are no guts and bandits, but you dare to report your name!"
Cao Hong naturally knew that the guard would be Cao Xiong, but now he was just provoking Cao Xiong step by step.
"Thief, and hear the uncle's name clearly, it is Xuzhou Cao Xiong!"
"Cao Xiong?"
Cao Hong pretended to be surprised and muttered, making Cao Xiong think that Cao Hong knew his name, and a smug smile suddenly rose on his face. However, before Cao Xiong's smile fell, he heard Cao Hong shout again, "Laughing to death, a cowardly without courage dares to call himself a hero, in the opinion of General Ben, it is better to call a bear better, haha!"
"Hahaha!"
"Cao Xiong Cao Xiong, gutless bear!"
"The turtle with a shrunken head will not die yet!"
The soldiers behind Cao Hong also burst into laughter, and the insults clearly reached Cao Xiong's ears, and Cao Xiong was immediately so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and the second Buddha went out of his body.
"Wow, yes!"
Cao Xiong's face changed wildly with anger, and his body couldn't stop shaking, of course, he was not frightened, but angry. Since he joined the army, how many years have he not heard the word bear, in his heart, the word bear has become his counterscale, the soldiers under his command know this, no one dares to say this word. Don't talk about bears, they don't even dare to say words related to dogs and bears, for fear of being beaten to death by Cao Xiong. At the beginning, there were two soldiers in the barracks who didn't know this taboo, and when they were discussing the issue of heroes and bears, Cao Xiong heard it, thinking that he was mocking him, and beat the two soldiers to death in public. Since then, the officers and men in the army have also known this, and they have never dared to say this word in front of him, and they have not even dared to discuss it in private, lest they be accidentally heard by him.
"Pifu is so daring, if General Ben doesn't let him know that it's powerful, he will think that General Ben is afraid of him. Cao Xiong roared angrily, broke away from Cao Bin, and ordered all the soldiers and horses to kill him.
"General, think twice!"
Cao Bin rushed over and hugged Cao Xiong's legs, and shouted to dissuade him: "General, General Cao Bao said it before the general left." In this battle, you only need to defend the Ershi Mountain and not let go of the Cao thief soldiers and horses. Now that the enemy is clearly provoking the general, once the general loses the Ear Lion Mountain, if General Cao Bao blames it, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Cao Xiong's face kept changing, and his hideous color kept flashing. However, in the end, perhaps it was Cao Bao's name that made Cao Xiong stop the anger in his heart.
"Look, General. If the enemy had the intention, he would have attacked it a long time ago, but now he is not moving at all, obviously trying to lure the general out of the pass, and the general must not fall for the enemy's tricks. ”
Cao Xiong seemed to be moved, and shouted to Cao Hong at the bottom of the mountain: "Piff, if you have the courage, you will attack it." See that General Ben doesn't cut off your dog's head and drinks. ”
"Haha, don't you think General Ben won't dare!"
Cao Hong laughed. The right hand slammed down. Immediately, 5,000 soldiers and horses slowly attacked towards the checkpoint built by Cao Xiong. Two thousand shield soldiers at the head. The shield of more than one person was raised high, and then the three thousand soldiers all changed into longbows and followed, advancing towards the level unhurriedly. When the level was approaching, the three thousand archers immediately released their arrows, and then, Cao Hong immediately ordered a retreat, not giving Cao Xiong on the level a chance to release his arrows at all.
"Haha, General Ben has the courage to attack, and the guts of a bear dare to fight. ”
saw that Cao Hong only had 5,000 soldiers and horses. Cao Xiong and Cao Bin never thought that he would dare to really attack. Who knew that Cao Hong really ordered the attack, and the bow and arrow that came up and shot a round of arrows retreated. Although it looked a little shameless, they really had the courage to attack it, and they immediately made Cao Xiong angry again.
"Don't be angry, general, the enemy is just a temptation, and will never dare to really attack. ”
Cao Bin saw that Cao Xiong was angry again, and hurriedly persuaded again. Then, he shouted to the herald beside him, "Someone." Give me the order, put on longbows, and wait for the enemy to rush up and shoot me to death!"
"Cao Hong dog thief. In this way, they dare to claim that they are attacking, and those who dare to attack the key problems will come to tackle them, and they will not take advantage of their tongues. "I'm afraid that Cao Xiong will shout something again. Cao Bin hurriedly took the lead in shouting.
"It's ridiculous, General Ben attacked as he said. You don't care what General Ben does. ”
Cao Hong shook his head disdainfully and said mockingly: "General Ben heard that there is a general named Cao Xiong in Xuzhou. can fight with tigers and leopards with bare hands, and he is a peerless general. Now that I see it at first sight, General Ben is ashamed to share the same surname as you. It seems that only Cao Bao in Xuzhou can be called a general, and the others are not Erer. General Ben advises you to change your name and surname quickly, don't tarnish the surname Cao, and call it a bear in the future. Since you don't dare to take it, General Ben will attack it. ”
"Attack!"
"Kill!"
Cao Bin was a little dumbfounded when he saw this, and a clear-eyed person knew at a glance that Ear Lion Mountain was not so easy to attack. Even if they want to attack, what is the use of relying on Cao Hong and these people? Why does Cao Hong want to attack again and again? Is it to consume their spirit and then seek an opportunity to attack? Although Cao Bin is steady, he does not have much resourcefulness, so he cannot guess the purpose of Cao Hong's actions. If it were another scribe, I am afraid that I would be able to guess the purpose of Cao Hong's behavior. It's a pity that Cao Bao didn't let other officials participate in order to take this credit on their Cao family.
Cao Bin was stunned, but he still hurriedly ordered: "All the soldiers are ready, once the Cao army attacks, immediately release arrows." ”
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
After Cao Hong's soldiers and horses attacked, Cao Bin, who had been prepared, immediately ordered, and the sharp arrows fell like raindrops, and Cao Hong's soldiers and horses suffered nearly 100 casualties in a blink of an eye. On the other hand, Cao Hong's archers, because they shoot arrows from the bottom up, their power is reduced, not to mention, plus they are precautionary, except for a few who are unlucky, the others will cause some abrasions at most. After shooting three rounds repeatedly, Cao Hong gave the order to retreat again, but this time, Cao Hong left the corpses of hundreds of soldiers, and Cao Xiong's soldiers and horses suffered no more than twenty or thirty casualties. Although it can be called a complete victory, Cao Bin was even more puzzled, could it be that Cao Hong had a grudge against Cao Cao and deliberately let the soldiers under his command come to die?
"Guts bear, General Ben has attacked again and again, what can you do to me!haha!"
After Cao Hong retreated, he stuck the Pu knife on the ground and opened his mouth to scold, as if he was a ruffian. The reason why Cao Cao asked Cao Hong to carry out this operation was because Cao Hong's character was the most suitable. Speaking of which, Cao Hong's own personality is also a little irritable and arrogant, which is somewhat similar to Cao Xiong. If other generals don't have Cao Hong's character, it will be a little difficult to put on a posture like Cao Hong.
"Hateful, hateful!"
Cao Xiong gritted his teeth and scolded, and the muscles on his face twitched. Cao Hong asked him to go out to fight him, but Cao Xiong did not go out, but asked others to attack him. Cao Hong really attacked it, or twice, which is simply a slap in the face. As a grumpy general, how could Cao Xiong swallow this breath.
"General Ben is going to take down his head and drink it!"
Cao Xiong roared with a dark face, and asked his soldiers to fetch his broadsword and war horse, put on his armor and go to battle. Seeing that Cao Bin was about to stop himself again, he scolded angrily: "Don't stop General Ben again, otherwise General Ben will drink you first." Since you are afraid that General Ben will lose his ears and lion mountain, General Ben will lead 2,000 soldiers and horses to fight, and the remaining 8,000 soldiers and horses are enough to defend, if General Cao Bao blames him, General Ben will bear it, and then you will BB, and General Ben will kill you first!"
Cao Bin clearly knew that Cao Xiong, a stunned man, really dared to kill him, he was just a side child of the Cao family, but Cao Bin was a descendant of the family, plus there was a relationship with Cao Bao, if something really happened, the final blame was on his head, and Cao Xiong would not be fine. Now that Cao Xiong only brought 2,000 soldiers and horses to fight, there were still 8,000 soldiers and horses left on the checkpoint, and it was more than enough to guard the checkpoint, Cao Bin thought about it and no longer dissuaded him.
Subsequently, Cao Xiong ordered 2,000 soldiers and horses and slaughtered out of the level.
"The gutless bear actually has the courage to fight, but if you don't have the strength, don't die under the sword of the general!" Cao Hong laughed, drew his sword and slapped his horse to meet him, as for his five thousand soldiers and horses, they lined up but did not make any movement.
Similarly, Cao Xiong rushed forward with a big sword, and the 2,000 soldiers and horses behind him were also lined up without moving.
"Give me my life!"
Cao Xiong was scolded for a long time, full of anger, at this moment there was a chance to make a move, naturally there was no reservation, the big knife was brandished is to use all his strength, and he vowed to behead Cao Hong in his heart.
"The posture is good, but it should not be an embroidered pillow!"
Cao Hong didn't miss the opportunity to taunt, and he didn't leave a hand in his hand. Since Cao Xiong can fight with tigers and leopards with his bare hands, and the force is not so bad, Cao Hong will naturally not be careless, otherwise he will lose his life if he is here, and the lord who harms him will not be able to complete the great cause, then his sin will be great.
"Sonorous!" "Sonorous!"
Every collision between Cao Hong's Pu Dao and Cao Xiong's Dadao is full of energy, which shows that the two really have no reservations. In the blink of an eye, the two fought for thirty rounds, but they were evenly matched. At this moment, the two of them were already sweating profusely, and their breath was slightly panting. However, if there are fierce generals watching the battle, you can find that Cao Hong's performance is disguised. Cao Hong can be regarded as a first-class general, and although Cao Xiong has some brute strength, there is still a gap between him and a first-class general.
The more the two fought, the more fierce they became, it seemed that Cao Hong took Cao Xiong away from the battlefield more and more, but the magnitude of the deviation slowly increased, but Cao Xiong didn't notice it, maybe he wouldn't notice it at all.
Before he knew it, Cao Xiong seemed to be about to fall into a crisis! )
