Fubo, although the name is Fubo, is actually not worthy of the name at all.

It does not have any family that can be rich enough to be rich in gold and silver, but extremely poor, not to mention compared with Anfeng and Yiyang counties, or compared with the county towns under the rule of the two counties, it can be said that it is different from cloud and mud.

However, it was such a small county town, Cao Cao personally led an army of 30,000 and the main generals Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, and Cao Chun to attack in turn for a day, but he didn't even take down a single brick of the city wall.

The city wall was not strong, and the surface of the city wall was stained with the blood and arrow marks of many Cao Ying's soldiers, mottled by the vicissitudes of life in the sunlight, with a quaint and decaying taste.

However, Li Dian, the former subordinate of Zhang Liao and Cao Cao, stood firmly on the head of the city, and did not retreat a step, like two Huangshan pines on the side of the cliff, and like two nails wedged between Cao Cao and Runan.

They told Cao Cao with their eyes that they would always be stationed here, and they would be able to do so for many days.

Cao Cao was depressed and angry.

Wang Li was so generous at the beginning, Yiyang and Anfeng counties just got their hands and threw them to him, as if throwing a used rag, they didn't care.

But now, Wang Li is simply an iron rooster that does not pull out a hair, and a county town that is so poor that only a city full of flowers is firmly embraced. So much so that he lost 3,000 elite soldiers, and even Cao Ren, who had just recovered, was injured again, but he still stayed under the city and sighed.

Thinking of Zhang Liao and Li Dian's decision, Cao Cao sighed and felt that the tactics he had originally drawn up should be changed.

Chao Chengyu smiled bitterly, and Cao Cao began his planning: "Zhongde, since Zhang Wenyuan and Li Mancheng can quietly come here from Jingzhou, then Wang Li on the Yuanlu side should also have other arrangements, Miaocai and Zilian They may be just like us, blocked outside Yuanlu City, unable to advance or retreat."

So, Ben Shuai wondered if we should adjust our tactics now. After all, our ultimate goal is to strengthen ourselves while Wang Li can't get out, so that we can have a place in the battle for the world in the future. ”

"The lord means that he intends to implement the plan of Huairou, and even if it fails, he can insert a nail of suspicion between Wang Li, Zhang Wenyuan, and Li Mancheng?" Cheng Yu really deserves to be Cao Cao's chief military advisor, and he said it in one sentence.

Cao Cao got up and stretched, and nodded at Cheng Yu: "Zhang Wenyuan and Li Mancheng are rare good generals in the world, if they stick to the city and don't come out, will they fall behind in the blind competition with them?"

Moreover, Ben Shuai heard that although Zhang Wenyuan is a fierce general, he has the style of a Confucian general, not to mention, Man Cheng was also a general under Ben Shuai's account back then, if we show us good and inform the world situation, will they abandon the darkness and turn to the light? ”

"My lord!" Cheng Yu was still thinking about it, and Man Zhong had already stood up, "Do you remember when Zhang Wenyuan was, and why did he follow Wang Li?" ”

Of course, I remember that when Dong Zhuo was in charge of the imperial court in the past, Dong Zhuo wanted to send Lu Bu to assassinate Ding Jianyang as a vote. Wang Deyu didn't know how to know about this and saved Ding Jianyang's life! ”

Cao Cao thought about it, and there was a trace of regret in his eyes, "Later, Ding Jianyang recommended Zhang Wenyuan and Gao Boxun to Wang Li in order to repay the grace of saving his life. It's a pity that Cao didn't know the value of these two people back then, and finally missed them. ”

Man Zhong bowed his head, and then said: "Since the lord remembers the events of the past years, he should not forget that Wang Li was only a grass team at that time, but he set up a separate cavalry captain for Zhang Wenyuan.

Zhang Wenyuan is a person who values love and righteousness, and Wang Li treats him as a national soldier, how can he let go of the loyalty in his heart? If the lord is preoccupied with recruiting rebels, it is better to think about how we should open the gates of Fubo..."

"Although there is some truth in Berning's words, why not give it a try?" Cheng Yu interrupted Manzhong's words and said, "Even if Zhang Wenyuan has no idea about taking refuge in the lord, what about Li Mancheng?" Li Mancheng also won the heart of the lord back then.

What's more, even if they don't surrender to the lord, as long as the two of them acquiesce to the pre-military interaction with the lord, this nail of suspicion will be inserted between them and Wang Li.

In time, if Wang Li can return safely from Jizhou, he will definitely settle this matter completely with suspicion. And once Wang Li stays in Jizhou, they will also choose the lord again, for the other princes, wouldn't we have taken the lead? ”

"Zhongde's words are certainly reasonable, but after all, it is also a matter of the future, shouldn't the urgent thing now be how to break the city?" Zhong Xuan also stood up and objected, obviously he didn't approve of this matter either.

Cheng Yu shook his head and explained: "Our army went from Anfeng to Fubo yesterday, and there was a lot of hard work along the way, plus today's battle was even more physically and mentally exhausted. Why don't we repair it for a few days for the time being, one is to raise troops, and the other can implement this plan and Zhang Wenyuan and the two to have a friendship that spans the two armies? ”

Friendship?

Friendship is a fart, persuade to surrender, persuade to surrender, what you say is so literary, and you don't panic!

Xiahoudun rolled his eyes, glanced at Cheng Yu, and hugged his fists to Cao Cao and said: "Lord, that Zhang Wenyuan is indeed a rare good general, marching and fighting and arranging troops are very good for our spleen and stomach, if I can persuade Zhang Wenyuan to surrender, I will raise my hands in favor!" ”

Zang Ba, Cao Chun and Le Jin also stood up one after another to admonish.

"Since this is the case, let the whole army rest for two days temporarily, and send someone to the city to persuade Zhang Wenyuan and Li Mancheng to surrender......"

Cao Cao nodded, and was about to act according to the plan, when a hurried footstep came in from outside the tent and interrupted his words, and he was immediately furious, pointing at the scout and shouting: "What's the matter, you are so flustered?" Could it be that I have forgotten the military regulations of my Cao Ying! ”

Cao Cao scolded for a while, which turned the seven points of uneasiness in the scout's heart into ten, and hurriedly presented the news in his hand: "Lord Qiqi, last night Xu Huang and Tian Chi raided Rubeiyuan, General Xiahou was defeated, and two generals, Yu Ban and Wu Dun, were killed.

General Xiahou led the crowd to break through, but unexpectedly in the hill of seven or eight miles away from Rubei Yuan, Wang Li's general Fan Chou led his troops to ambush here to wait for work, General Xiahou was defeated, so he had to withdraw his troops back to Anfeng, and there were only more than 10,000 people left in the 30,000 army! ”

"Bang dang!"

There was a crisp sound, and the wine bottle on the desk chair smashed to the ground, and Cao Cao was inexplicably frightened.

They were still discussing that Wang Li might have a backup hand in Yuanlu, but they didn't want Xiahou Yuan to be defeated, and the two generals Yu Ban and Wu Dun had actually died on the battlefield.

"My lord," the crowd called out in unison.

Cao Cao waved his hand, propped up the desk chair and tried to stand up, Taishan's style of collapsing in front of him and not changing his color had long been forgotten, his fingers pointed directly at the scout, and his face was full of sadness: "How Miao Cai was defeated, how Wen Ze and Wu Dun died in battle, you and Ben Shuai will talk about it one by one!" ”

The scout hurriedly walked out of the tent, and pulled a soldier with a sad face from outside the tent and re-entered the big tent: "Lord, this brother is the herald under General Xiahou's account, and the details need to be explained in detail by this brother!" ”

Cao Cao nodded and sat down again, and after the herald reviewed the whole thing, his face, which had already tended to be flat, turned purple again, and the green sword suddenly came out of its sheath and slashed on the desk: "The big-eared thief deceived me too much, if I can't get revenge for the two generals, what face will this marshal have to meet them one day!" ”

In other words, although Cheng Yu and other strategists were not confused, the faces of Xiahoudun and other generals were taken for granted.

In fact, Cao Cao also knew that victory and defeat were common things in soldiers, and the death of generals was a common occurrence on the battlefield. It was Xu Huang's ambush soldiers who directly caused the death of Yu Ban and Wu Dun, but in addition to himself and Cao Ying's generals, who indirectly killed them, it was the big-eared thief who sold shoes.

Yu Ban's death is not so much a death on the battlefield as a death in his heart.

Because of the knot in the heart, it is retrograde.

Because of the knot in the heart, so the will to die.

And these heart knots were brought to them by the big-eared thief and Guan Dabeard, otherwise, with Yu Ban's military literacy and Xiahou Yuan's cooperation, how could they suffer such a big defeat, and how could Yu Ban and the two go against the grain alone?

Cao Cao has been fighting for many years, so he naturally understands that no matter how many battles the generals under his account have fought in their bones, they are still the same martial artist in their bones, and they only pay attention to happiness and enmity in their hearts, and he really wants to take Runan quickly when Wang Liyuan is in Jizhou, but he also knows that the general trend is irreversible and the military spirit is irreversible.

The current trend and military spirit is revenge!

And Cheng Yu was also quite chivalrous when he was young, and he was also related, but Zhong Xuan and Man Chong stood up and admonished: "Lord, our army and Liu Bei are an alliance against Wang Li, if you unilaterally tear up the alliance, will it cause criticism from the people of the world, and even force Liu Bei to Wang Li's side?" ”

"Criticism? Could it be that the two generals, Wen Ze and Wu Dun, died in vain? Xiahoudun was furious, his two eyes were like copper bells, and he glared at Zhong Xuan and the others.

"General Xiahou, the lord's goal now is Runan, should we focus on the overall situation? What's more, the two generals of Yu Ban were both sacrificed in the battle with Wang Li's army, even if they wanted to avenge them, they should also aim at Xu Huang and Tian Chi! ”

"There is a debtor and a debtor, and of course you have to find the source for revenge. Xu Huang and Tian Chi and the others deserve to die, but isn't the most damned the big-eared thief who slandered General Wen Ze? ”

Xiahoudun, who has always been reckless, seemed to be incarnated as Zhang Yi at this moment, and he was having a lot of fun fighting with Zhong Xuan in the camp tent.

Suddenly, a voice came from the tent door again, and another scout rushed in: "Lord Qiqi, just got the battle report, Liu Bei sent his subordinates Zhang Fei and Xu Sheng to lead more than 10,000 troops to directly attack the praise, and did not encounter any resistance from Wang Li's army along the way!" ”

"What a big-eared thief, Ben Shuai and Wang Li fought to the death, more than 20,000 people were injured, and even two generals, but you took two county towns without much effort, dare to say that you and Wang Li did not collude secretly to coax ghosts?" Cao Cao laughed angrily, and his voice sounded in the tent like a night owl.

Zhong Miao hurriedly admonished: "Lord, this is Wang Li's plan to lead the water to the east, don't lose a big one because of a small one..."

"Woe to the East? Perhaps. But the revenge of Yu Wenze and Wu Dun must be avenged, and the revenge of the big-eared thief who took my Yiyang in the past must also be avenged! Cao Cao rudely interrupted Zhong Xuan's topic, and the Qingyu Sword swung again.

"The order went down, and the whole army was suspicious, leaving Zhongde, Zihe and Zhu Ling to lead an army of 10,000 to drag Zhang Wenyuan, and the rest of the soldiers will join the Miaocai army with Ben Shuai tonight, and go to praise the letter at night to avenge Wen Ze!"
