Chapter 574: Night Attack
"Prime Minister Qi, the camp in the east has been attacked!"
After Cao Cao heard the soldiers who waved off the message, he said left and right: "Who is stationed in the east?" ”
"Back to Prime Minister, it's Cao Ren!"
"It's Zixiao!"
Cao Cao suddenly said: "In this way, just wait for the good news!" ”
Er, another news came back.
"Prime Minister Qiqi, the Ming army only has one way out of the city, about 3,000 horses!"
Cao Cao's face sank, and he asked, "Why did you return late?" ”
"Prime Minister spare your life!"
The soldier who reported the news immediately fell to the ground and cried: "It's not a small dissatisfaction, it's really before the Ming army went out of the city, there were a large number of exploration horses out of the city to investigate, if it wasn't for the small ambush outside the city gate after dark, it would definitely be impossible to see how many Ming troops went out of the city." ”
"How daring!"
Cao Cao said angrily: "So, you have meritorious? ”
"Cheng ......"
"Someone!"
Cao Cao didn't pay attention to it at all, and directly called the guards and dragged them down to kill them. Then, Cao Cao asked Jia Xu, who had just come in-
"Have you figured out who is behind Zhang Xiu?"
Jia Xu's face was very gloomy, even when he heard Cao Cao's question, he did not alleviate it, and at the same time did not deny it, obviously there was a result, but the result was a little unexpected.
"Li Ru!"
"Who?" Cao Cao felt that there might be something wrong with his ears, and the other people in the tent were the same, and his face was full of shock.
Jia Xu kept silent, just nodded fiercely.
"Hizz~"
Everyone gasped and was stunned.
"I didn't expect Gongsun Du to be so bold!"
Cao Cao relieved himself and said, "I just don't know how Li Ru got to Gongsun Du?" At that time, Chang'an was so chaotic, and there were no people from Gongsun Du, how did he save people? ”
As for Li Ru running away by himself, Cao Cao not only won't say it, but he won't believe it, but others won't believe it either.
"But if we get the word out, won't it ......?"
"It's useless."
As soon as the words fell, Jia Xu said: "Right now, Ming Gong is in full swing, and because he sells sweet potatoes and other things to princes from all walks of life, it can be said that he has been sanctified in the hearts of the people, and some families have set up immortal cards for them." Moreover, Dong Zhuo was the first evil back then, and the rest of the people were at most accomplices, and Li Ru was not famous. ”
"All this, even if it is spread, it will not have much impact on Ming Gong."
In fact, this is also the view of Gongsun Du and Li Ru, otherwise, Gongsun Du would not accept Li Ru, and Li Ru would not have voted for Gongsun Du.
"Humph!"
Cao Cao was still unwilling, but he just snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.
Jia Xu was worried that Cao Cao would be dissatisfied with him because of this, thought about it, and said: "Prime Minister and relieved, at least we know who it is, and we can take advantage of this to respond, and we will not be led by the other party's nose again." ”
"Hmm!" Cao Cao also nodded when he heard this.
"Even so, Wen He has also been a colleague with him, I don't know if there is a good way to teach him?"
Jia Xu's face froze, but he recovered immediately, except for Cao Cao, no one else noticed this.
Cao Cao couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and said secretly: Want to be lazy? Dream! No, it's not a dream.
The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became cold, and Rao is Du Ji (ji, a sound), Chen Qun and others, who had just watched the play, also felt a little depressed, and they all straightened their waists.
After a long time, Jia Xu spoke softly, although it was soft, but in this quiet night, it was extremely bright.
"Li Ru is relatively low-key, and he has a deep understanding of human nature, although the generals in the army are very obedient to Dong Zhuo, they are also respectful to him."
Probably no one believed this, so they said that Li Daoguo......
"There are many reasons for Li Ru's advice, but more often than not, every time he makes a plan, he always has no last resort, and it will always bring bloody rain."
"Therefore, Li Ru's plan has always been dark and unpredictable."
"As the soldier who reported just now said, I am afraid that the Ming army has not only 3,000 men and horses out of the city, but 5,000, or even more than 10,000, but the past has been covered up."
Cao Cao's expression was straight, he glanced at Du Ji and a few people, and when he saw that they hesitated for a while, he agreed, so he said: "In this case, tell the generals, order them to be more careful, and send more people to investigate, and be sure to find out whether the Ming army has left the city and where it is now." ”
Oracle, generally the emperor, or the queen, the queen mother and the like will use the word oracle, in the past, Cao Cao would also pay attention to these problems, but now he is really a little dizzy, and he said it without paying attention.
"Yes......"
To the east, Cao Ren camp.
Zhang Xiu led 3,000 elite horsemen to rush into the camp, but found that all the things in the camp were straw in the eyes of the gods before, but they all had armor.
"It's not good, I'm in the middle of the trick, retreat quickly!"
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Xiu's voice fell, and a burst of laughter came, followed by: "Do you want to leave when you come?" Stay! ”
"Humph!"
Zhang Xiu didn't answer, and rushed from the side. Now that Cao Jun is ready, it is impossible to retreat directly, and it is obviously impossible to move forward, only on both sides. Zhang Xiu didn't have time to think about it, so he chose the left side.
When the elite riders who came with them saw that Zhang Xiu moved, they didn't stop, and rushed to the side.
Seeing this, Cao Ren's face sank, and he said angrily: "Release the arrows and kill them~"
"Yes, General!"
The deputy general on his side moved in response, but he didn't notice that Cao Ren's eyes were cold and terrifying.
Even the horses are wearing armor? Did you come on purpose? Or is it only the one who raids the camp?
Cao Ren didn't have time to think about it, so he saw that Zhang Xiu had already rushed out of dozens of zhang, if he was silent any longer, it wouldn't take much effort for Zhang Xiu to rush out.
Can a war horse run so fast in armor? Don't think about it, let's fence it out first.
Cao Ren thought about it, waved the command flag, and then a drum sounded.
Zhang Xiu secretly screamed when he heard it, this is definitely not the meaning of the attack, but the order of the army to encircle.
"Hurry back!"
Zhang Xiu broke through the wall on the left side with all his strength and rushed out. Fortunately, the camp is newly established, and the camp is not so strong, otherwise it would not be so easy to break through.
"Dead open~"
However, Doutou met a group of Cao Jun, and Zhang Xiu had no time to think about it at this time, urging the horse to rush forward.
With Zhang Xiu taking the lead, although Cao Jun had already prepared, there was no general to put it right, and he couldn't stop it at all, plus the war horse was armored, and the long knife that should cut off the horse's legs, the trick of stabbing the war horse could not be used.
Half an hour later, Zhang Xiu returned to the city, and at the same time, Cao Ren also passed the news of Zhang Xiu's safe retreat to Cao Cao.
"The military advisor did not expect badly, the Cao army was fully prepared, and the attack on the camp failed."
As Cao Ren thought, Zhang Xiu's attack on the camp was deliberately put on armor for the war horses, and even if he was trapped in Cao Ren's camp, there was still a large army outside to respond, and the number was much larger. It's just that this back hand was not used, so Zhang Xiu escaped directly. In fact, this is also because Cao Ren knew that the Ming army was strong, and he was worried about startling the snakes, so the ambush army laid out was not in front of the camp, but in the back, so it was slower, and the most important thing was, of course, that Zhang Xiu retreated fast enough.
"Well, that's fine, ...... later"
Cao Cao's tent.
At this time, there were only Cao Cao, Jia Xu, Du Ji, Chen Qun, and Xu Chu, who never left Cao Cao's side, a total of five people.
When Cao Ren's message arrived, Cao Cao's face suddenly became much gloomy, and the reason why it was not black was because he was already black, so he looked gloomy.
"What do you think Li Ru means by this?"
Cao Cao and everyone knew that Zhang Xiu couldn't do such a thing, only Li Ru.
"It's not a temptation, or a desire to cover up, or both." Jia Xu was looked at by Cao Cao, so he had to speak first.
Du Ji nodded in agreement, but Chen Qun affirmed: "It's not a possibility, but a certainty." ”
"Oh? Why does Changwen think so? It's better to go into detail. ”
Not to mention Jia Xu, even Cao Cao was a little strange, how could Chen Qun dare to make such a decision.
Chen Qun glanced at Jia Xu, and said sonorously: "Leping has no danger around, and there is no help on all sides, since Li Ru is so powerful, how can he sit still and wait to die, he must test one or two to find out our reality and reality; Secondly, there are many Ming troops, if they all live in the city, it is okay for a short time, but for a long time, not to mention anything else, water is a problem, so if you divide one part of it outside, not only will you avoid danger, but you can also peep in the dark, or stand by to give us a fatal blow, or often intrude, contain the troops. ”
Cao Cao couldn't help but stroke his palms and sigh when he heard this: "What Changwen said is very good, and I will remember you!" ”
"Prime Minister Xie!" Chen Qun raised an eyebrow at Jia Xu as he spoke. It's just that Jia Xu didn't see it at all, but Chen Qun didn't care, he just felt that he had won a game.
