PPS: I mentioned before that Cheng Yu stayed in Xuchang, I forgot the first few chapters, and I wrote Cheng Yu into the battlefield of Xuzhou, which has been revised, and I am very sorry for the mistakes I made.

When the sky was dark, the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the morning. A cavalryman dismounted, galloped to the barracks, and reported to the generals who were still drinking: "General Di has taken Kunlun Pass!" ”
The generals were both surprised and delighted, with unbelievable expressions on their faces: General Di was still drinking here just now, why did he kill the generals unknowingly at this moment?
It turned out that Di Qing set up a banquet and sent people to persuade him to drink wine several times, so that the officers would not leave the banquet, all for the spies sent by Nong Zhigao, the purpose was to make Nong Zhigao's rebels mistakenly think that Di Qing and the generals were at the banquet, and it was impossible to attack Kunlun Pass on the night of the Lantern Festival, so as to relax their vigilance and produce a paralyzing carelessness mentality.
In this way, Di Qing took advantage of his unpreparedness and secretly attacked, and won the Kunlun Pass in one fell swoop, and Song Renzong praised it as "the true pass of Zhang Ye!" ”
What Guo Jia wanted was to pretend to spend Chinese New Year's Eve in peace first, and then attack the Xuzhou army at night on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve!
It sounds like it's easy to take advantage of the holiday to attack at night, but it's very difficult to operate. The most important thing is to keep secrets and how to convince the enemy that their army will really stand still.
You must know that in addition to spy organizations like Mingjingtang and Fengmanlou on the battlefield, there are countless scouts and spies on each side, and if you can't make reasonable use of the other party's scouts and spies to pass on false information, the effect of such a strategy will not be significant.
Therefore, Guo Jia ordered the sergeants to go out on the pretext of collecting firewood, deliberately let the spies in, and then deliberately let those sergeants pass on false information to the spies. Of course, those sergeants are actually Spiegel guards, most of them are familiar with each other, and a few are unfamiliar, everyone will say a set of code words after meeting, and at the same time make a series of small actions in their hands to prove their identity, so there is absolutely no problem of mistaking identity.
In order to ensure that Guo Jia's plan was foolproof, Wu Dun personally stepped forward to talk to him. As for the traitor, not only did he not use code words and gestures to prove his identity, but Cao Cao's announcement that Chinese New Year's Eve was a daytime yesterday, not night at all. Also, Cao Jun strictly prohibits drinking, Cao Jun's punishment for violating military regulations is very serious, and the seven bans and fifty-four beheadings are not a joke. Therefore, as soon as the spy infiltrated the ranks of the outgoing sergeants, he was immediately recognized.
So, everything after that was in the rhythm of Wu Dun, Wu Dun used the ** experience he learned as a thief in Taishan back then, successfully fooled this spy, and perfectly completed Guo Jia's task, and next, it was Cao Cao and Guo Jia's affairs.
Well? The next wave of spies? How can they get involved? Cao Jun didn't go out next time. As for other spies who wanted to infiltrate the camp directly, Cao Cao specially transferred nearly 700 Mingjing guards from Wang Tu, the envoy of Yuzhou, Wu Zhou, and Zhu Gai, the envoy of Jizhou, to hide around the camp of the Qingzhou army.
Yes, this time it was the Qingzhou Army that was dispatched, and this was also Xiahoudun's request. After all, since its establishment, the Qingzhou Army has not made any contributions, whether it is Lejin's Long Xiang Army, Li Dian's Xuanwu Army, Cao Hong's War Bear Army, Cao Ren's Flying Tiger Army, and Yu Ban's Tianfeng Army. There are only the Modao Army that is too precious and has never appeared, and the Qingzhou Army that has always defended Xuchang.
Xiahoudun is a strong person, he will never admit defeat, and he has not achieved an inch, but Cao Cao made him a high-ranking official, which made him suffer the eyes and jealousy of many people. It is rare that the Qingzhou army does not have to defend Xu Du, and has a chance to go on an expedition, and it is impossible for Xiahoudun to let the Qingzhou army fail to make an inch!

Liangcheng, the last line of defense in the north of Picheng under the Xuzhou Governor's Office. Once Liangcheng is breached, then there is a plain in front of Xiapi City, and Cao's army can easily go to Xiapi City, and then launch Cao's army's forces to besiege the city, giving full play to Cao's army's military advantage.
The defender of Liangcheng is Cao Bao, and he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Liangcheng to garrison and defend the last line of defense in front of Picheng. Tao Qian originally felt that Cao Bao's ability was really lacking, and he was worried that Cao Bao's garrison in Liangcheng would cause the city to fall. But Cao Bao grabbed the ground with his head (the meaning of hitting the ground with his head), knocked twenty or thirty times, his forehead was already blurred with flesh and blood, Tao Qian still couldn't bear to do this, the former first general of Xuzhou, and finally agreed to let Tao Qian guard Liangcheng.
Tao Qian, at the suggestion of Chen Deng, recalled the troops stationed in Xuzhou and concentrated all the troops in Xuzhou in Xiapi City, in an attempt to hold Xiapi City. Today's Xiapi City has gathered 90,000 horses, which is not counting the young men who were forcibly recruited. Cao Bao took away 25,000 of them at one time and garrisoned Liangcheng.
Before Cao Bao went to battle, he asked his family to prepare a coffin for himself and informed Tao Qian, his family and all the soldiers under his command.
"The city is in the people! If you want to pass through the good city, you must first step over my corpse! ”
Cao Bao's heart to fight to the death also infected Tao Qian and the army under his command, Tao Qian gave Cao Bao great autonomy, and the soldiers under his command were also greatly boosted and ignited their fighting spirit.
And Cao Bao's penance over the years was indeed not in vain, he had already blocked the Cao army in Liangcheng for 17 days, and killed 6,000 Cao troops with the loss of 2,000 soldiers, which was still based on the results of the Cao army's endless variety of siege equipment. To be honest, this result is worthy of Cao Bao's pride. The lone army against the 100,000 army was regarded as the first defeat of the Cao army, and the first time the Cao army's attack was frustrated.

"Are you saying that Cao Jun really decided to spend this Chinese New Year's Eve in peace?" Cao Bao stood at the head of the city, turned to look at the spy behind him, his expression was full of solemnity, and he had the temperament of a famous general.
"Yes, General. The last general mixed into the team of Cao Jun who went out to collect firewood, and the information asked from the soldiers in it must be correct! The soldier who had infiltrated Cao's camp before replied.
Cao Bao glanced around at several other spies, "What about you?" ”
"The last general also personally investigated, Cao's army has not stopped cooking smoke since early times, and many troops have now begun to drink, and it is impossible to send troops."
"yes, so do I."
。。。。。。
The secret agents all answered unanimously, which also made Cao Bao believe that Cao Jun would indeed not send troops.
