On the south bank of the Huai River, a group of generals of Zhang Xiu's army surrounded Zhang Xiu and asked for orders to cross north to attack Cao's army.

Zhang Xiu just quietly looked at the chaotic Cao camp on the north bank, and suddenly asked Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, who were also silent on the side: "What do you think, will you send troops to plunder the camp tonight like the previous two nights?" ”

The two looked at the generals of Zhang Xiujun who were eager to fight next to them, and shook their heads at Zhang Xiudu.

Zhang Liao spoke first: "Although the ability of the general soldiers is superb, he has only been in charge of the army for a year and a half, which is still inferior to Cao Cao, who is immersed in the military path. Now that Cao Cao has returned to the camp, the previous tactics against the ownerless Cao army can no longer be used. I hope the general will think about it again! ”

Sure enough, when Zhang Liao's words came out, all the generals of Zhang Xiu's family felt unhappy. However, the tragic facts of the Battle of Qiyang have not been forgotten by everyone, so Zhang Xian, Lei Xu and others still couldn't help but immediately refute Zhang Liao's doubts about Zhang Xiu's ability to use troops.

Zhang Xiu naturally doesn't have such a small belly, so she has a grudge against Zhang Liao. Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Zhang Xiu's face did not change at all, and his body only turned slightly in the direction of Gao Shun, signaling Gao Shun to speak.

This disappointed Zhang Liao, who was ready to see Zhang Xiu's reaction......

Gao Shun also said bluntly: "Do you still remember the battle of Puyang? ”

At this time, everyone was contemplative, and one or two generals who reacted quickly already understood what Gao Shun meant, and the eager look on their faces finally disappeared.

However, it is said that when Puyang Lu Bu and Cao Cao fought, Lu Bu borrowed the Chen Palace strategy and used the Puyang rich Toda clan to deceive and surrender, so that Cao Cao's army entered the city, and then he also came to catch turtles in an urn against Cao Jun.

Cao Cao, who entered the city, fortunately listened to the advice of Cheng Yu and others in advance, and entered the city in batches, so that the whole army was not wiped out.

It was the most thrilling time in Cao Cao's life, and there was no one. Cao Cao, who was alone, actually passed by Lu Bu directly, and the flying general Lu Bu was not good at killing the unknown junior soldiers, so he actually used the Fang Tian painting halberd stained with the blood of the world's famous generals to point Cao Cao's helmet and asked, "Where is Cao Cao?" ”

Cao Cao, who was lucky to be treated as an ordinary Cao army, escaped. No one knew what Cao Cao and Lu Bu were in when they talked face-to-face in the dark night, in short, in the end, Cao Cao relied on Dian Wei to escape from the flames of Puyang City.

After Cao Cao, who had been burned to the point of losing his beard, returned to the camp that night, he falsely claimed that he had been burned and died. The camp of the Cao army was as chaotic as tonight that night, which attracted Lu Bu to lead troops to attack, but he was ambushed and defeated.

This time, Cao Jun circulated for a long time, and the news that Cao Cao was seriously ill and did not wake up. It is said that because of swimming across the glacier, Cao Cao was infected with severe wind and cold, coupled with the loss of his beloved general and wise trust, and his grief caused a headache and became unconscious.

Could it be that this is false news and a trick by Cao Cao?

This Cao Cao is too, and he can't stop loving it. has experienced both ice and fire, and is still so capable of doing things.

Zhang Xiu was very satisfied with Gao Shun's answer. Seeing that the generals finally stopped becoming frizzy because of a particularly big victory, Zhang Xiu finally smiled.

Jia Xu, who was fishing the Huai River not far away, also looked at Zhang Xiu and smiled at this time. is different from Zhang Xiu's laughter, Jia Xu's laughter is a kind of old smile that is very comforting.

Finally grew up.

It's just that the next moment, Jia Xu's smiling face turned into a chrysanthemum face. Because Zhang Xiu's expression, which was originally light-hearted, suddenly changed, and became a smug look.

After a few wild laughs at forty-five degrees, Zhang Xiu said loudly: "You say that I am not as good as Cao Cao, I don't believe in this evil!" It's ridiculous that he actually drilled a dog hole out of the city and lost the demeanor of the princes! This kind of person who steals his life is not worthy of lifting my shoes! ”

"The night before, Cao's army had already lost more than half, how could he compete with my more than 100,000 armor soldiers? Even if there is an ambush, what is there to fear if a group of remnants are defeated, even if millions of people are defeated? Dian Wei, the strongest military general next to Cao Thief, has been killed by me personally, and I have even captured the people of Xu Chu in the ban, and others such as the one-eyed Xiahou Cao Ren and Xu Huang can be killed at will! Tonight, let's see how I go one step further and take the head of the Cao thief! ”

Everyone was horrified!

Just do it, Zhang Xiu personally ordered all the remaining Xiliang iron cavalry, as well as other elite cavalry such as the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, plus the Qianghu light cavalry and all the ordinary cavalry used to expand the results of the battle, plus more than 30,000 elite infantry soldiers who pressed the formation, crossed the pontoon bridge that was built yesterday, and came to the Cao camp.

General Zhang Liao deputy Zhang Xiu led the cavalry, and Zhang Xiu personally accompanied Hu Che'er, Zhou Cang, Cao Xing, Li Feng, Zhang Liao's generals, Cheng Lian, Wei Yuehou, and Cheng Song Xian.

General Ji Ling led the brigade of foot soldiers, and General Gao Shunqiao Rui countersigned Ji Ling. The good generals under his command, such as Lei Bo, Chen Lan, and Wei continued to accompany the army.

Shouchun City left the general Zhang Xun behind, and Li Tong guarded the Cao army's grain and grass camp that had been occupied.

……

After the news of Zhang Xiu's attack on the camp was told to Cao Cao, who was lying in bed, Cao Cao immediately jumped up from the couch and pulled out the sword hanging in the camp tent. ”

But after hearing Xun You say the specific lineup of Zhang Xiu's army, Cao Cao also hesitated, and after a while, Cao Cao, who had a look of regret on his face, had to order to eat only Zhang Xiu's cavalry troops.

It's not that Cao Cao doesn't want to kill Ji Ling's 30,000 infantry army together, but the conditions don't allow it.

As Zhang Xiu said, the current Cao army is indeed a group of remnants of defeated generals. Although according to the good organization, the Cao soldiers have returned to the system, but the 150,000 Cao army has lost half, most of the system is incomplete, and there are quite a lot of the subordinate systems that are short of more than half of the people.

Although Xun Yu returned to the camp and temporarily annexed the system, the shortage was too large, and the requirements for running-in were too high. The generals and colonels at all levels who are subordinate to each other do not recognize each other, let alone deny it between soldiers and generals. In a day or so, it is simply impossible to gather the combat effectiveness of the various departments.

In other words, the 70,000 Cao troops at this moment are only equivalent to the combat strength of 40,000 or 50,000 in peacetime.

Relying only on the combat strength of forty or fifty thousand people, he was able to gain an advantage over Zhang Xiujun. But if all the forces are exposed, Zhang Xiujun will definitely go out, and when their backup joins the battlefield, there will definitely be a big reversal, and the Cao army will definitely be defeated by then!

A big defeat is different from a rout, you can fight again after a big defeat, and if you are defeated repeatedly, you will be defeated, and if you are defeated, you really can't fight.

In addition to the problem of combat effectiveness that can be exerted, there is also Cao Cao's personal problem.

In order to be able to lure Zhang Xiu into the bait, Cao Cao acted in a full set. In addition to the generals and ministers of his cronies, in fact, the real news that ordinary Cao Jun soldiers have received is indeed that Cao Cao is seriously ill and unconscious! Now that Zhang Xiu has taken the bait, he has to quickly go out to publicize that he is okay and encourage the soldiers to fight an ambush war!

……

Regardless of Zhang Liao's dissuasion, Zhang Xiu, who was advancing, let go of his horse's speed, which made the cavalry troops and the main infantry force open a considerable distance. This can create a better opportunity for Cao Jun.

After breaking into the camp of the Cao army with great ease, Zhang Xiujun's cavalry instantly encountered the "warm hospitality" of the temporary organization of stumbling horses and traps, and several rejections of horses and antlers had blocked the way forward. And the cavalry that couldn't stop the speed behind still squeezed in, and the crossbowmen who suddenly jumped out fired thousands of arrows, and the pikemen of the Cao army who were in ambush on both sides also came out in time.

encountered an ambush, and the instinctive reaction was that the panicked cavalry of Zhang Xiujun hurriedly changed the rear army into the front army and retreated from a long distance.

But it's not so easy to go. Cao Jun's generals Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Li Dianle Jin came out from all directions, Zhang Liao can still prevent one or two, Hu Che'er can also drag one, Zhou Cang, Li Feng, Cao Xingcheng, Lian, Wei Yue, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, seven people go together, but they can only parry Li Dianle and enter two people. As for Zhang Xiu, he was caught off guard and was thrown by Xu Huang's two axes, and even the tiger head golden gun was thrown off.

The cavalry of the Cao army, with the tiger and leopard cavalry as the main force, under the command of Cao Chun, cut off the retreat of Zhang Xiujun's cavalry, and also blocked the soldiers and horses sent by Ji Ling Gaoshun to turn around.

Zhang Xiu, who was killed after failing to plunder the camp, could no longer organize the cavalry under his command, and even his own general Zhou Cang was lost. In the end, he could only lead a cavalry, gave up the right road, and went into the field from the path, and finally saved his life. The cavalry of Zhang Xiujun, who had been scattered by other departments, also fled under the command of the generals of various departments, and they fled in such a hurry that they couldn't even bother to correct the direction......

In the battle, Cao Jun beheaded 3,000 people and captured more than 2,000 people, finally saving some face.

Ji Ling, who didn't know whether to continue to attack or stay where he was, hesitated for most of the night, waiting until the sky was slightly clear before he dared to give the order to continue advancing.

It's just that when they rushed to the Cao camp step by step, they found that the 70,000 Cao army had already gone to the camp empty!

Cao Jun did things and dragged mud and water in the headquarters, fought overnight and retreated overnight. In fact, they've already packed their bags, and they don't have any baggage. All the grain and grass baggage had been captured by Zhang Xiujun on the eve before. Together with the carriages and horses used for transportation, they were captured. So they don't have to have a headache when they leave, and they don't even have a cart or a horse. There are only two days' rations left, and you can take them with you in your back pocket. In short, it's a very single.

Cao Jun had to not leave. Cao's army has indeed lost the ability to continue the offensive, not to mention the problem of losing troops and morale and morale, even if there is not enough food to eat. Zhang Xiu only needed to sit and watch in Shouchun City for three days, and the 70,000 Cao army collapsed without a fight.

Not to mention the method of plundering grain to temporarily replenish military rations, Cao Cao himself is too aware of the current food situation in Huainan. The people of Huainan, who were already suffering from famine and drought, were also abolished by themselves about the planned grain policy, and now they have even eaten the seeds sown next year, so how can there be any surplus grain for Cao's army to plunder?

It was said that when he left Shouchun City that night, Cao Cao wanted to go to the surrounding villages to inquire about the news and ask for some food. But only the graves of the thatched huts could be seen. There are still some hungry villagers in the village, but all they can eat is tree bark.

……

Since Zhang Xiu can't be killed in one fell swoop, the only way to do this is to hurt them first, so that they don't dare to chase after them anymore, and then retreat calmly.
