Chapter 578: Gao Shun attacked the enemy camp at night
However, Cao Cao still had to show the majesty of his lord at this time, and he wanted to use this matter to warn everyone, so he said: "You should also take the defeat of Zihe as a lesson from the past!" Perhaps none of us would have imagined that a Dantu Commander would have such courage to ambush troops on the enemy's territory. But what we can't think of doesn't mean that others won't do it, or they won't be able to do it, so I hope that in the future, you should take this as a warning, and I myself should not make such a mistake! ”
All the soldiers hurriedly shouted in unison: "We will remember the words of the lord!" ”
Cao Cao was satisfied, so he continued to ask: "I don't know who this Dantu Order, Lu Su Lu Zijing is?" Does anyone know this person? ”
After speaking, many people looked at Cheng Yu, after all, Cheng Yu knew a lot about him, and the information reported by the Yanzhou Army from all over the country was also in his hands. So if others don't look at him, who else can they look at, which means that this time it's your turn.
Cheng Yu understood this, so he heard him say at this time: "Lord, everyone, this Lu Su Lu Zijing is a native of Linhuai Dongcheng, who lost his father at a young age, and although his family is not a rich family, he is also well-off, and he is also one of the richest families in the local area. And his people were in business in his early years, and then he was recommended by Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin under Sun Bofu's account, and Sun Bofu personally invited him to go out of the mountain to serve, and was later ordered by him to be a Dantu order to guard against Jiangbei! ”
After hearing this, everyone nodded, and said in their hearts that Sun Ce really valued his people, otherwise it would be impossible to put him Lu Su and Lu Zijing directly in the northernmost Dantu of Wu County, which is a military town, and not everyone can defend it. If you want to enter Wu County from Xuzhou, you must get Dantu, so it can be seen that Sun Ce and his people attach great importance to Lu Zijing.
Cheng Yu also said: "By the way, he is good friends with Huainan Liu Ye. The lord can ask Liu Ziyang if he has the opportunity, he must know more! ”
However, Liu Ye is not in Xiapi now, and it seems that if he wants to ask, he can only ask Xu Du. Cao Cao didn't think about this anymore, if it was someone else, Cao Cao's first thought was whether he could convince others to serve him. But it was Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang who got old friends, and this Cao Cao had no plans. After all, Liu Ye, although he has some talent, is a member of the Han family, so Cao Cao is not particularly important, and it is impossible for him to be a lobbyist. to convince his friends to work for him-
Xiapi, Chen Gong said to Gao Shun: "The lord should arrive in Wu County now!" ”
Gao Shun smiled, "It seems that you can't hide anything from Mr." ”
Chen Gong smiled bitterly, "Alas, it's a pity that the lord doesn't trust me!" ”
Gao Shun said: "Sir has actually tried his best! The lord's personality dictates. But no one can change it! ”
"What are the general's plans?"
Gao Shun shook his head, there was no way he could let the trap camp defend the city with him. "Only to the death! What does the sir think? ”
Chen Gong Dalu smiled and said, "Great goodness! That's how it should be! ”
Both of them knew the truth. Now it's not much point to defend anymore. In fact, they were really right, because Cao Cao's side had already started digging Yishui and Surabaya, and was ready to irrigate Pi. Then as long as they come like this, even if Gao Shun and they are prepared, they will have to suffer heavy losses when they reach the end. Then Cao Cao had to break through Picheng.
Now few people in the Xuzhou Army know the news that Lu Bu has left, and only Gao Shun, Chen Gong and Zhang Liao know Lu Dao. At this time, they gathered together to discuss the march of troops. Defense is no longer advisable, so you can only give it a go. Because for Gao Shun, he is still stuck in the camp. Although there were only 800 people, Gao Shun knew that if he used it well, he would definitely make Cao Mengde anxious, so he discussed with Chen Gong and Zhang Liao how to enter the army.
In the end, Chen Gong came up with an idea, that is, the 800 people trapped in the camp, plus 1,200 people selected from Xiapi City, to form a death squad. The death squad is the one who dares to die, and at ten minutes in the middle of the night, it directly attacked Cao Cao's Yanzhou army camp. Although he didn't expect his side to win, he had to show his own momentum in this battle, so that Cao Mengde could take a good look at it, and his side was not easy to mess with.
And Gao Shun and Zhang Liao also agreed to this, after all, they knew that it was definitely useless to defend the city now, so instead of that, it was really better to fight directly with the Yanzhou army. Even if there are few people on your side, even if the combat power of the people and horses is not as good as the Yanzhou army, this is not a problem. The key is that you have a death squad, does the other party have it, at least not everyone is like this-
Before sending troops, Gao Shun said to Zhang Liao: "The lord should be in Wu County, Wenyuan, when the general trend has gone, you don't want to fight to the death, you must go to Jiangdong!" ”
Zhang Liao heard it, "This, is it ......?"
Gao Shun's eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "I live and die with my brothers!" But when it comes to revenge, I have no choice but to rely on you! So you can't fight to the death yet, go to Koto, that's another way! ”
Zhang Liao also had to say that Gao Shun was quite reasonable, if Gao Shun fell into the camp and was destroyed, it would naturally be impossible for him to live alone. As for himself, maybe as said, going to Jiangdong by himself may be a way out. He also knew that his lord was in Jiangdong, but could the lord be safe?
At the city gate, Gao Shun also said this to Cao Xing, but what Cao Xuan thought about it, then no one knew what Lu Dao did. As for Chen Gong, Gao Shun naturally didn't say much to him. And he does know this Mr. Gongtai, if he is really captured, he will definitely only die, and he will not take refuge in him Cao Cao. Gao Shun still knows the Tao, otherwise Chen Gong would not have rebelled against Cao Cao back then, the so-called "Tao is different, not conspiring with each other", isn't that the case between Chen Gong and Cao Cao.
Chen Gong watched Gao Shun and Zhang Liao lead the troops out of the city secretly, and he said in his heart at this time that under his lord's account, it is not that there are no loyal ministers and good generals, but the character of his lord is not able to make the best use of his talents, if they are all working in the Yanzhou army, then maybe it is not the situation it is now.
And this night, although it will not let the Yanzhou army do anything, but its own side has already ......-
Gao Shun and Zhang Liao took two thousand death squads out of Xiapi, although it was very late, but they could not hide from the Yanzhou army's exploration of horses, after all, Cao Cao was very careful in the Xiapi war, and even Lu Bu did not escape the eyes of the horses when he went out of the city, let alone two thousand people and horses out of the city.
Tanma hurriedly went to report to Cao Ren, who had promised to be on duty in the Yanzhou army tonight, "Report to the general, the enemy army is coming to our army's camp!" ”
When Cao Ren heard this, "Quick, beat the drum!" ”
Cao Ren understood after a little thought, Lu Bu had already escaped in Xuzhou, so his subordinates had to give it a go. But how could they be their own opponents, it's not that they underestimate them, even if they attack so late at night, they don't have much of an advantage.
"No!"
Some soldiers hurried to beat the drums, that is, to wake up all the soldiers, after all, the enemy army is coming, and they have to prepare to meet the enemy as soon as possible.
"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock...... Knock knock ......"
As soon as the drums sounded, the Yanzhou sergeants had to get up. Zhilu said that this is the enemy army coming, which is not an uncommon thing.
At this time, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao had already led their troops to the Yanzhou army camp, and for them, they really didn't expect to be discovered by the Yanzhou army. After all, they know that the Yanzhou army's precautions against Xiapi are really too strict, at least they really don't have the ability to touch their camp without being detected under the surveillance of the other party. Not everyone can "take it by surprise and attack it unprepared", and the Yanzhou army can be said to be relatively well prepared.
Gao Shun and Zhang Liao led their troops to attack the Yanzhou army camp was hindered, after all, don't look at more Yanzhou soldiers and soldiers. But the previous defense was very sufficient, not to mention that it was Cao Ren who was on duty this time, Cao Ren was strict in governing the army, and it was really not easy to take lightly. And from the fact that he heard the report from Tanma that the Xuzhou army was coming to attack, he was not panicked at all, and it is not difficult to understand that Cao Ren has indeed done a good job in the defense of the camp.
The two rooms fought in the middle of the night, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao brought two thousand death squads, eight hundred trapped camps and one thousand two hundred dead soldiers, and the combat power was naturally much stronger than the soldiers in Xiapi City now. So it's really not comparable to the guards that the Yanzhou sergeants encountered before.
Cao Cao had also gotten up, but he asked the other generals to go to Cao Ren's aid, leaving Guan Yu alone by his side.
Cao Cao said to Guan Yu at this time: "The Xuzhou army is also a brave person, but it's a pity that he Lu Fengxian can't make the best use of his talents!" ”
Listening to Cao Cao's exclamation, Guan Yu smiled, "Maybe after tonight, the victory or defeat will already be decided!" ”
Cao Cao smiled, "What Yun Chang said is exactly what I think, it seems that they are also the last to fight now!" It's just a pity, Xiapi City is already at the end of the crossbow, especially after Lu Bu leaves, it doesn't make much sense to fight again! ”
can't capture Lu Bu alive, for Cao Cao, it's really a pity. And I heard that Lu Bu also has a wife, Yan, and her appearance is still good, but unfortunately she can't see it.
Guan Yu didn't know what Cao Cao was thinking at this time, or he probably would have thought that the defeat of Wancheng at the beginning was a lesson from the past, but unfortunately this Cao Sikong still can't take it as a warning, alas.
For Cao Cao, although he won't have a good rest for a while tonight. But his three expeditions to Xuzhou finally got the best result today. After tonight, Xiapi will no longer be able to stop his own attack, and the whole of Xuzhou will definitely be in his own pocket! Xuzhou, it belongs to Cao Mengde! (To be continued......)
