Chapter 201
Lu Bu quickly wiped out Xiao Pei's trouble with the momentum of thunder!
Liu Bei's soldiers were defeated and fled in a hurry, led the remnants of the defeated army, and went all the way to the west to Cao Cao!
Meanwhile!
Chen Gongqin led an army of 20,000 and rushed to Pengcheng day and night!
Chen Gong is a wise man, although he is not as talented as Xun Yu and Fa Zheng, but he can also be called an excellent mastermind!
In terms of resourcefulness, Chen Gong can be called the best in the world, but when it comes to commanding troops, Chen Gong is not even qualified to carry shoes for Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others!
Chen Gong is also stained with the light of noble status, which can be described as "there is no general in Shu, and Liao has become a pioneer".
Lu Bu and Zhang Liao led the troops outside, and there was only one general in the army, Gao Shun, and Xia Pi could not be guarded without the general, so Chen Gong temporarily played the role of the commander of the army!
Xiapi is less than 300 miles away from Pengcheng, Chen Gong led the army all the way to the hurried, and arrived in Pengcheng six days later!
Traveling more than 40 miles a day is already the limit of the infantry's march, since stepping into the boundary of Pengcheng, Chen Gong changed the previous marching strategy, adopted a steady marching strategy, led the army to slow down, trying to relieve the fatigue of the soldiers.
Chen Gong ordered people to send more scouts to spy on Pengcheng's military situation!
Within a radius of fifty miles with Pengcheng as the center, you can see the scout teams of both sides everywhere, one side of the people, often walking and walking, they bump into the enemy's scout team, and the two sides often fight when they disagree!
The scouts clashed, and the Youzhou scouts relied on the equipment advantage of the Liaodong crossbow to suppress the Xuzhou scouts without the power to fight back!
Youzhou scouts can always rely on the advantage of the crossbow to seize the lead, as soon as the two sides fight, the Xuzhou scouts have been shot down before they can be killed!
The further he went, the more frightened Chen Gong became!
Most of the bones you see along the way are the bones of your own scouts!
There was a disgusting bloody smell wafting in the air, and Chen Gong suddenly felt the pressure double!
The scout came to report: "The Youzhou army is coming to the city and besieging Pengcheng!" ”
"How many miles away is Pengcheng?" Chen Gong frowned and asked!
"Pengcheng is less than thirty miles away from here!" The scout replied!
Chen Gong nodded and said, "Find a way to spread the news that reinforcements have arrived into the city, so that Xuan Gao must hold on for a while longer!" ”
"No!" The scout is gone!
Chen Gong was afraid of the might of the tiger and leopard, and did not dare to take the enemy lightly, so he ordered the army to camp on the spot!
Song Xian and Hou Cheng jointly asked to see Chen Gong!
Song Xian bowed and said straight to the point: "Pengcheng is in danger, why is Mr. hesitant to enter?" ”
Chen Gong sighed helplessly, and said: "The march for days has made the soldiers difficult, if you don't rest in the camp to rest, I am afraid that there is a danger of annihilation!" ”
"Soldiers, noble and fast!" Hou Cheng hurriedly said: "If Pengcheng is lost, what is the point of our trip?" ”
Is it a waste of food and grass to travel at public expense?
Chen Gong heard the meaning of Hou Cheng's words, and he rarely patiently explained to the two: "Pengcheng is worry-free, the two generals don't need to worry too much!" ”
"Why did you say that, sir?" The two said in unison!
"Encircle the point and send reinforcements!" Chen Gong pointed out the military intentions of the tiger and leopard to the point!
Hou Cheng and Song Xian glanced at each other, and suddenly said: "Mr. is resourceful, and the general is deeply admired!" ”
Chen Gong smiled helplessly and said: "The initiative is in the hands of the tiger and leopard, and we can only act when we see the opportunity, and we will have the slightest opportunity to take advantage of it!" ”
"How do you act when the opportunity arises?" Song Xian asked!
"Drag!" Chen Gong narrowed his narrow eyes and said: "Drag it until Wenhou calms down Liu Bei's trouble, and waves his army to help in the battle, at that time, the strength of the three armies will definitely defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop!" "58 reading
Song Xian bowed to Chen Gong with a solemn face, and said, "Mr. is talented, the last general will be convinced!" ”
Chen Gong stroked his beard with a smile on his face, and said modestly: "Carving insect skills, why worry about teeth!" ”
Meanwhile!
Youzhou Army!
Jia Xu sat firmly in the Chinese army, while Han Dang stood beside him with a respectful face, putting on a humble posture of humbly seeking advice!
Jia Xu's wisdom is outstanding, and he has no last resort, so that the people of Youzhou will be convinced!
Jia Xu looked down at the bamboo slips sent by the scouts, and wrote: Lu Bu and Liu Guanzhang fought fiercely between the two formations, Wenhou martial arts were amazing, dragging Liu Guanzhang in the formation, so that he had no time to take care of other things, Zhang Liao took the opportunity to wave his army to cover the kill, and killed Liu Bei to a big defeat, Liu Bei led the remnants of the army to flee in a hurry, and the battle of Xiaopei ended with a complete victory for Lu Bu!
Scouts mostly spread messages based on bamboo slips.
First, paper is precious, and it is too wasteful to use it to transmit messages.
Second, the paper is expensive, not weathered, easy to damage, but the bamboo slips are solid and durable, not rain!
Jia Xu handed over the bamboo slips to Han Dang's hands, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, saying: "Fengxian is mighty, and his demeanor has not diminished back then!" ”
After Han Dang looked at the bamboo slips at a glance and ten lines, he said worriedly: "Lu Bu is good at cavalry combat, Xiaopei is only five hundred miles away from here, the cavalry is fast, it can be reached in two days, Mr. must be guarded!" ”
"With Zhongcheng (Li Huzi Zhongcheng) watching from the side, Feng Xian will not dare to take the enemy lightly!" Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "Within ten days, it will be difficult to come first!" ”
Han Dang nodded with a clear face, and said, "I need to take the lead in breaking the army of Chen Palace before Lu Bu arrives!" ”
Jia Xu nodded, looked in the direction where the Chen Palace camp was located, and muttered, "I have a clever plan, I don't know how the public platform wants to break it?" ”
When Han Dang heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "What is the clever plan of Sir, can you tell me in advance?" ”
Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "Take a step back and open the sky!" ”
In Han Dang's uncertain gaze, Jia Xu immediately gave him an order to surround three and lack one!
Peng Cheng was let go!
The scouts sent by Chen Gong took the opportunity to get in touch with the defenders of Pengcheng!
Zang Ba personally wrote a book, and when he met Chen Gong three days later, he raised a fire at the south gate to attack the enemy army to relieve the siege of Pengcheng!
After Chen Gong saw the letter, he did not doubt him and decided to follow the plan!
Xuzhou is in the land of four wars, surrounded by strong enemies, and it is difficult for Lu Bu to return to the army to rescue in a short time, so Chen Gong has to make a dangerous decision!
In fact, the main reason that really caused Chen Gong's soldiers to be in danger was that he got the news from Xizuo that Cao Cao was about to send troops to Xuzhou!
Time was running out, Chen Gong didn't have time to ask Lu Bu for instructions, so he made the final decision to take a dangerous step!
Three days later!
Chen Gong quietly led his army to appear ten miles south of Pengcheng, only five miles away from the Youzhou military camp besieging the city here!
As soon as Chen Gong led the army appeared, the Youzhou army quickly responded!
Youzhou soldier armor does not leave his body, waiting for him, ready to be on call at any time.
The drums and horns in the camp sounded in unison, and the soldiers came out of the camp one after another, and the speed of their assembly made Chen Gong dumbfounded!
Right now!
Pengcheng, above the south city gate, the firelight is lit, three long and two short, this is the signal sent by Zang Ba to Chen Gong!
Three long and two short, the meaning is quite profound, and it needs to be experienced by Chen Gong himself!
Chen Gong was overjoyed, and bluntly said that Xuan Gaozhibing wanted to take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to launch an attack on it, which was really the best policy!
