Chapter 769: The Yanzhou Army ambushed halfway
As soon as Cheng Yu heard his lord ask him about Zhuge Liang, he hurriedly said: "Back to the lord, Zhuge Liang's character is Kong Ming, and he is from Langya, Xuzhou. His young man followed his father, the family moved to Jingzhou, and then he studied under Mr. Sima Hui of Shuijing, and under the guidance of Jingzhou Pang Degong and other famous people, he lived in seclusion in Longzhong after learning, in Jingzhou, his people are called 'Wolong', Jingzhou has a saying, 'Wolong and phoenix chicks have one, but the world can be safe!' ’”
When Cao Cao heard this, he almost lost his joy, for what, it was the first time he had heard this, really. He had heard people say before, "Whoever gets the jade seal wins the world", but what is this, basically everyone knows the Tao. Yuan Shu got the jade seal, but where is he now, how many years has he been dead.
So Cao Cao heard about it again this time, but this time he lost to win people. However, he was still a little interested, so he said to Cheng Yu: "Zhongde, Zhuge Kongming is really like this?" How is it compared to the big Han Liuhou Zhang Zifang? ”
Cheng Yu shook his head, "Lord, Zhuge Liang is a person, there must be talent." But how much ability his people have, his subordinates don't know the way, and few people may know. However, since there are such rumors in Jingzhou, it must not be groundless, so my lord, our army has to guard against it! ”
Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, "Ha Lu Ha Now that our army of 80,000 is attacking Jingzhou, how can we be deterred by a Zhuge Liang, even if his people are indeed as powerful as rumored, but our army is definitely weak, I don't know what you think? ”
For Cao Cao, seeing is believing, and sometimes even what the eye sees is not necessarily true. But now that I've heard others say this, Zhuge Liang is so powerful, that is amazing. If Cao Cao was rumored to be so much because of others, he would be afraid. or change his mind, then he is really not the "traitor of troubled times", Cao Cao and Cao Mengde.
In Cao Cao's opinion, doesn't Zhuge Liang's rumors say that he is powerful, so he just happened to lead troops to meet him and see how powerful he is. Only after I have experienced it myself, I have the right to speak, but now it is all hearsay, which affects some things very much-
At this time, another military general came out, and Cao Cao took a look. It was Cao Chun, Cao Zihe.
"Lord, my subordinates agree with the lord's words, march into Xinye, and go south to Jingzhou!"
Cao Chun is the main general of the tiger and leopard cavalry, although he said that he would attack the city. Naturally, the tiger and leopard cavalry would not participate in the war, but he wanted to enter Jingzhou as soon as possible. That's right. And he has a good relationship with Guan Yu. Guan Yu agreed, and he could be regarded as supporting Guan Yu. So Cao Chun, who rarely speaks, came out to speak today.
As for what Zhuge Liang is capable of, this is not within his consideration. Because Cao Chun will not change his mind because of the strength of the enemy army, this is almost none. So no matter how powerful Zhuge Liang is. Cao Chun is also going to follow his lord and lead the troops to meet him for a while, and the rest is nothing.
Cao Cao listened to it and took a look. He has to be a military general, he has to be his own descendant, Cao Chunnai is his own brother, so at a critical time, he supports himself-
At this time, I heard Cao Cao say: "Okay, Zihe and I are really 'heroes see the same thing', hahaha I wonder if you have anything else to say? ”
When Xun You heard this, he hurriedly said: "Lord, now our army is not the only way to go in Xinye, and it is actually not impossible for our army to enter Jiangxia!" ”
Xun You is right, Cao Cao can indeed enter Jiangxia, but he has to go far away, and he has to go back, and then he can do it. Because of the front line of Xinye, Zhuge Liang is defending, so he can only go to Jiangxia after breaking through. And the second way into Jiangxia is from Yuzhou. However, since Cao Cao was able to go from Yuzhou to Nanyang, it proved that he really didn't mean that.
Sure enough, I only heard him say, "Gongda also knows that now in Jiangxia, Sun Bofu is attacking, and once our army goes, won't we have to fight a bloody battle with its Jiangdong army first?" ”
When Xun You heard this, he shook his head in his heart, in his opinion, a battle with the Jiangdong Army should be said to be inevitable, unless it is to unite with them, and then divide Jingzhou in the end. But he can't say this to his lord, seeing that his lord is determined to take Xinye City, alas, thinking of this, Xun You couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Of course, he didn't think that his Yanzhou army would not be able to take Xinye, but he might pay a lot of casualties.
Seeing that Xun You stopped talking, Cao Cao knew that he was not ready to persuade himself anymore. Originally, what is there to persuade yourself, is it possible that your own army of 80,000 can't take a new field, so what are you fighting for Jingzhou, hurry up and bring the troops back-
Xun You was silent, and when he saw that Xun You was silent, Cheng Yu, who wanted to persuade his father-in-law again, didn't say much. After all, even Xun Gongda can't do it, so he is useless. Maybe if Xun Wenruo is here, he can have a way, but it's a pity that his people are not here.
Looking at Cheng Yu, who wanted to speak, he didn't seem to be ready to speak, Cao Cao was satisfied, and then said: "If you all have no objection to this, then our army will enter Xinye tomorrow, and then go south to Jingzhou!" ”
"No! Everything is in accordance with the Lord's command! ”
Although everyone said so, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu among them, the two of them smiled bitterly in their hearts. The heart said Lord, Lord, you are still that temperamental character, alas......
The two of them are also very helpless, but what else, what kind of person is their father-in-law, after so many years, don't the two of them understand. In fact, it's okay today, the two of them think that they have stopped talking early, or if they really anger their lord, then it seems that there is. It's just a pity, it's a pity that your own soldiers are gone. Neither thinks. can take Xinye so easily, and I don't know how many soldiers will be killed and injured in order to capture Xinye-
Just like Cao Cao said, a day later, he set off with a large army, and in order to capture Jingzhou as soon as possible, Cao Cao gathered 10,000 horses from Wuyin and Biyang, plus Jianyang, and followed the previous 80,000 Yanzhou army to Xinye. A total of 90,000 people were brought to Xinye this time. However, it is claimed to be an army of 150,000. This is considered good for him, he did not falsely claim to be 200,000. Basically, it's normal to falsely claim twice as many people.
Cao Cao took an army of 90,000 and went directly to Xinye, and Zhuge Liang of Xinye had already learned the news that Cao Cao's army had arrived in Jianyang. In his opinion, he was not afraid that Cao Cao would bring troops. He was really afraid that Cao Cao wouldn't come, so he came. Well then. Even if Xinye still has to lose the last one, he will definitely not let his Yanzhou army have a better time.
Zhuge Liang had already deployed men and horses in Xinye, and was waiting for Cao Cao and them to take the bait. As for whether Cao Cao will be successful, in Zhuge Liang's opinion, eighty percent will be like this. After all, with Cao Cao's character, he won't have much defense against himself. So as long as he's careless. Then my opportunity has actually come-
Quewei Slope, this is the only way for Cao Cao's army to pass from Jianyang to Xinye. If it is Ma Chao's Liangzhou army, from Wancheng to Xinye, then Bowangpo is the only way. But Wancheng was in the hands of the Liangzhou army. Cao Cao's Yanzhou army came from Jianyang, so Queweipo was a must-pass place for them.
When Cao Cao's army was about to reach Quewei Slope, Cao Cao asked the guide in the army, "I don't know where we are ahead?" ”
The guide hurriedly replied: "Back to the lord, there is Quewei Slope ahead!" ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded, and said in his heart Queweipo, it seems that he has heard of this place before, but it is really the first time to come here.
At this time, I heard Xun You say to Cao Cao: "Lord, the terrain of Quewei Slope is suitable for ambushing soldiers, please be more careful!" ”
Cao Cao heard the words and said, "What Gongda said is good, it should be so!" Pass on my military orders, be sure to move forward carefully! ”
Cao Cao asked the soldiers to pass down the military order, but when Xun You heard it, he couldn't stop shaking his head in his heart, and said in his heart, my lord, if there is really an ambush, even if you are careful, it is of little use. He can also see that although his lord is asking the soldiers to be careful, he actually doesn't pay much attention to it at all.
However, Xun You also understands that speaking is to the point, especially at this time. Although his lord is not so bad that he can't listen to any advice, but like his previous words, it is useless-
At this time, Cao Cao had already led his army to the boundary of Queweipo. Listen to the name of this place, Magpie Tail Slope, what is called Magpie Tail Slope, in fact, because this place is like the tail of a magpie, that shape, so this place is called Magpie Tail Slope.
When the Yanzhou army marched more than half of the way through Queweipo, Cao Cao looked up to the sky and smiled, "Ha Lu haha, Ha Lu Ha!" ”
Cheng Yu, who was beside Cao Cao, asked, "I don't know why the lord is laughing?" ”
Cao Cao stopped laughing, and then said to Cheng Yu, in fact, to everyone, "You also said before that Zhuge Kongming is very powerful, but Queweipo is such a place to use troops, why don't you see that there are ambushes here?" So, I'm just laughing at it, what 'Wolong', I think it's still 'famous, but it's actually difficult to deputy', haha! ”
Cheng Yu only frowned slightly after listening to his lord's words, but the other generals, like Cao Cao, were disapproving of Zhuge Liang. Only Xun You, he said in his heart, it's not good, if it's really an ambush, here, he has come here, it's the best place, don't ......
Just when Xun You thought of this, he heard the sound of drums and horns on both sides, and on the hills on both sides, Liu Beijun's ambush soldiers emerged. Xun You looked at it, and after his heart finished speaking, he really came to what he was afraid of, looking at the ambush soldiers on the hills on both sides, there must be at least three thousand people.
To tell the truth, if you are on the battlefield, let alone 3,000 people, even if it is 30,000 people, your own soldiers are not afraid at all. It's nothing more than "soldiers come to block, water comes to cover". But now in this terrain, others have an advantage, and their own side is a disadvantage. People don't have to fight with their real knives and guns at all, they just throw down the rolling wooden stones, plus just release the arrows-
Sure enough, as Xun You thought, Liu Beijun's ambush soldiers, of course, it is impossible to fight with 90,000 horses. The ambush soldiers are ambushes, especially in such a terrain, so they listened to Zhuge Liang's words, and they kept smashing wooden stones down, and some were throwing arrows. As a result, the Yanzhou sergeants were in a mess.
To be honest, like today's situation, it can be said that Yanzhou soldiers rarely encounter it. They are indeed very rarely ambushed, and the last time they were like this, they forgot how many years ago. But after all, the Yanzhou army is still a very experienced team, although it is rarely ambushed, but in this case, there is still no chaos. In fact, don't say that the other party is ambushed by thousands of men and horses, even if it is tens of thousands of horses, to be honest, don't want the Yanzhou army to be easily chaotic.
And Cao Cao is even more experienced, after all, he has led troops to fight in the world for many years, and at this time he is also secretly scolding Zhuge Liang in his heart. When the heart said that he didn't say anything before, there was no ambush, but he thought there were no ambushes, so he smiled and led to Zhuge Kongming's ambush. However, at this time, Cao Cao only flashed what he was thinking in his mind, and then he heard him shout to his Yanzhou sergeants: "The shield soldiers are defending on both wings, and the army is advancing at full speed, and leave the Quewei slope quickly!" ”
Cao Cao shouted such a sentence, it can be said that he is very experienced. Because at this time, when you encounter such a situation, you actually have to run quickly. (To be continued......)
