Chapter 770: The Yanzhou Army Ambushed Halfway (continued)
It's the right time to run. Although it is true that there are not many ambushes on the other side, there are a lot of bits and pieces. And it is impossible for the Yanzhou army to fight hard with them, how to fight, do you have to let the Yanzhou soldiers go up the mountain, and then fight with Liu Beijun's ambush soldiers? Therefore, Cao Cao naturally made a decision immediately and let the army advance directly at full speed, which can be said to be the best way now.
After that, Cao Cao shouted again, "Everyone, protect Gongda and Zhongde, let's withdraw quickly!" β
Cao Cao himself has Xu Chu's protection, so he is not worried about anything, but Xun You and Cheng Yu are two scribes, although they can also use swords, but they will not play a big role on the battlefield at all. So Cao Cao hurriedly shouted, after all, he still believed in his own people. But it was Guan Yu alone, although Cao Cao didn't think that he would be able to see death at a critical time, but Cao Cao believed that if he didn't say such a sentence, Guan Yu might just be out of business.
Cao Cao knew that Guan Yu and his people had a very bad relationship with these strategists under him. It's not that his subordinates snub him, this can't happen at all. It's just that he doesn't get along with these strategists under him, and to put it bluntly, he doesn't look down on them at all.
To be honest, Cao Cao didn't know much in his heart. To say that the scribes look down on the generals more, but I saw a military general who didn't look down on the scribes at all, that was Guan Yu Guan Yunchang. After all these years, Cao Cao knows very well that Guan Yu is a person, and he is a soldier against his corporaries, which is indeed very good. But to his colleagues, especially the scribes, he really looked down on themβ
To be honest, after listening to Cao Cao's words, Xun You and Cheng Yu were indeed a little moved in their hearts. They know it better than anyone else. His lord is definitely not buying people's hearts, but really feeling the danger, and then he deliberately asked Guan Yu to help him, so he shouted this. Therefore, the two of them can still think about themselves when their lord is in danger, and their hearts are indeed warmer.
Alas, it would be better if his lord could really listen to the words of others, and listen to the words of his own two people. It's just a pity. My lord is so temperamental, he can't change it.
Seeing that the Yanzhou army is speeding forward, it is actually escaping. At this time, Liu Beijun's ambush soldiers on the hills on both sides were so ruthless that they pushed the wood down and threw stones down. As for those who release arrows. It was batch after batch, and it never stopped. However, the speed of Cao Cao's Yanzhou army was indeed fast. So even if the thousands of men and horses of Liu Beijun's ambush army are going all out to attack. But it still didn't make the Yanzhou army suffer many casualties. After all, the gap between the two sides is too big, dozens of times.
However, the soldiers all remembered what Zhuge Liang taught them, and Zhuge Liang told them in Xinye, as long as Cao Cao led his troops to speed up and escape, he shouted at them.
Sure enough, I heard Liu Beijun's soldiers shouting, "Cao Cao's strategy is really high." Run away from an ambush! Cao Cao's strategy is really high, he escaped when he was ambushed! β
β¦β¦ββ
Although Cao Cao was busy running away with his troops, he would not be able to hear the shouts of thousands of people. I guess there's something wrong with my ears. This made him angry, he was really angry, how many years did Cao Cao fight in the world, and it was really the first time that the enemy soldiers said this, and he was an opponent who he didn't pay attention to, so he let the family ambush him, and then humiliated himself.
Cao Cao is the commonplace of the Han Dynasty, and he has heavy troops and power in his hands, and he is one of the best princes in the world. But it was really the first time, it was so humiliating for the family, and he couldn't help but scold at this time, "Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Kongming, I swear to kill you!" β
Xun You and Cheng Yu next to him took a look, and said in their hearts that this Zhuge Liang is not ordinary, and there are really few people who can make his lord so angry, but he Zhuge Kongming is definitely one.
Xun You hurriedly persuaded: "The lord is angry, now our army still has to leave the range of Queweipo quickly, after all, who knows if Zhuge Kongming has any backs!" β
Xun You actually said so, he didn't think that Zhuge Liang had any ambush. After all, they have already escaped from the ambush. It's just to divert his lord's attention, so that he doesn't always think about Zhuge Liang's affairs, or it will definitely affect a lot. After all, if it is really affected, then what will happen after that, who knows what will happen-
As soon as Cao Cao heard what Xun You said, he said: "What Gongda said is even, fast, march quickly!" β
Although Cao Cao did not say that he was "bitten by a snake once, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years", but he was indeed frightened by Zhuge Liang. But he thinks that he has seen the more powerful side of his people, and he thinks he is powerful if he is not ambushed by him. There are so many people in the world, but there are definitely not a few people who dare to ambush their own nearly 100,000 horses with a few thousand people. But he Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Kongming dared to do this, so Cao Cao regarded Zhuge Liang as an opponent.
However, after Cao Cao said this, he still said, "Zhuge Kongming, wait for me, as soon as my army arrives, Xinye City will definitely turn into powder!" β
As soon as Xun You heard his lord's words, he shook his head in his heart, and said Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Kongming, your goal has been achieved. The way my lord is now is because of you. Of course, he understood Zhuge Liang's intentions, which was nothing more than to let his lord mess up first, and then he would have a chance. However, Xun Yu secretly said in his heart at this time, if I Xun Gongda is here, your plan will not succeed.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu happened to also glance at Xun Yu, and both of them saw the worry in each other's eyes-
If you want to worry about Cao Ying's two great strategists, to be honest, Zhuge Liang is indeed brilliant. But for him, what he wants is definitely not these things. What he wanted most was to be able to repel the Yanzhou army brought by Cao Cao. But he also knew that this was almost impossible. Therefore, he believes that it is better to "retreat and seek second", as long as he can suffer losses according to the Yanzhou army led by Cao Cao, then his goal will actually be achieved. Of course, it's better to let them suffer big losses and let them suffer heavy casualties.
Although Zhuge Liang also knew that he was guarding Cao Cao's Yanzhou army in Xinye and fighting against Cao Cao. To be honest, it is equivalent to indirectly helping others. This other person is naturally those who are fighting for Jingzhou, Jingzhou's local forces, Sun Bofu's Jiangdong Army, and Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou Army are actually them.
But Zhuge Liang also knows that there is no way to do this. I am actually quite helpless about this, who asked Cao Mengde to attack Xinye, wouldn't this provoke him. Therefore, if you don't come up with some countermeasures, then you won't let the world look down on you and feel like you're a bully.
The key and most important point is that Zhuge Liang wants to use this to prove to his lord that his lord's vision is right, and when he invited himself, he invited the right person. So I have to prove myself, I didn't have much opportunity before, but now it's not coming.
So for Zhuge Liang, in fact, Cao Cao brought troops to Xinye, in fact, he can be regarded as a stepping stone for Zhuge Liang to succeed. Even if Xinye still has to lose after the worst of the world, Zhuge Liang also thinks it is worth it. Originally, in his opinion, Xinye was not a long-term place, and the front line of Xinye was not suitable as such a front to defend Jingzhou. After all, now in Nanyang, it is a three-way game, if you want to rely on the Xinye line, to be able to compete with Cao Mengde and Ma Mengqi, Zhuge Liang thinks that it is almost impossible.
Then since it is impossible, it is better to give up. After his lord has the strength, he will take Nanyang back again, and now, don't care about the gains and losses of this city and place-
However, as for Zhuge Liang's thoughts, except for himself, no one else knows the way. But even if you know the Tao, what else. Xinye City must be defended, and it will still be lost at the end. But even if it is lost, it will not make Cao Cao and the Yanzhou army feel better. And this is not just Zhuge Liang's idea, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, and even Liu Beijun's soldiers, and even the people of Xinye, in fact, most people have this idea.
As for why even many people in Xinye think so, then I have to say that Liu Bei's political work has done a good job. And Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu also attach great importance to these.
At least here in Xinye, what kind of person Cao Cao is like, it can be said that the people can say a few words. And some of his deeds, especially the massacre of the people of Xuzhou, the people of Xinye all know about it, and they also know that he didn't just do it for a while. Therefore, Cao Cao's reputation in Xinye can be said to be particularly bad, and if he wants to thank them, he will have to thank Liu Bei and them. (To be continued......)
