Ding Xu was originally a member of the Ding clan, and Ding Yuan was commensurate with his uncle and nephew, Ding Yuan was killed by Cao Cao, and the Ding clan all hated Cao Cao to the bone.

In this battle against Cao Cao, this plan to lure the enemy is very important, and those who go deep into the enemy camp can be described as nine deaths. As Ding's son, Ding Xu is naturally duty-bound, and he asked for help several times, and finally grabbed this arduous task in his hands.

Ding Xu also lived up to everyone's expectations, firmly contained the main force of the Cao army, and made tens of thousands of Cao troops gather here, and even sacrificed themselves into the enemy camp, killing the Cao army's large array into chaos for a while.

This gave Lu Bu the opportunity to cross the river calmly, except for the fact that the warships in the river were quite troublesome, he was almost never hindered at all.

At this time, Ding Xu had already reached the point of exhaustion after a fierce fight, and was immediately ordered by Lu Bu to retreat to the side for a short rest.

Until all the boats had crossed the river, Lü Bu ordered the whole army to stand by and gather all the generals to coordinate the pursuit of Cao Cao.

"Since Cao Cao has withdrawn from the army, he must want to return to Shouchun, and then rely on the Shouchun city defense to hold on, waiting for Xuzhou reinforcements." Zhao Yun pointed to the sand table that was piled up in front of him.

Lu Bu laughed teasingly: "It's just that Cao Cao probably couldn't have dreamed that Shouchun had been conquered by Wen Yuan, and he was already rootless water with no place to return." ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

Yang Xiu laughed even more: "Poor Cao Cao still wants to stop the prince from crossing the river in Anfengjin, how does he know that all the arrangements of the prince and prince before are just a trick to cover people's ears and eyes, what is cutting down trees and building ships, what generals are out of harmony, what main generals defect, are just a means to attract Cao Cao's energy, so that he will focus all his eyes on this only remaining naval army, thinking that our army has no other means to cross the river, creating the illusion of confrontation between the two armies along the river." And all these preparations are just for one goal, to ensure that General Wenyuan can successfully cross the Huai River and go straight to the heart and lungs of Shouchun. ”

Tian Feng praised from the bottom of his heart: "The prince's plans are one after another, interlocking, so that Cao Cao fell into a cage step by step without knowing it, and he thought that he had seen through the reality of our army. Gambling on the overall situation with one domain is committing the taboo of blind self-confidence. The prince's clever tricks have made us admire. ”

"One person is short, everyone is long, this plan can be successful, and everyone can work together." Lu Bu did not take credit.

Thinking about it carefully, the battle situation can reach such a point, it is indeed Lu Bu's single effort, and there may be many providential coincidences in the middle, but the strategies are all done by Lu Bu himself, whether it is a large construction project to cut down trees and forests, a shipbuilding to show the enemy's shortcomings, or a punishment of Ding Xu, who will plan and pretend to surrender to the posture, which makes Cao Cao suspicious, and is personally arranged for Lu Bu.

In particular, secretly gathered all the cavalry, all under Zhang Liao's dispatch, taking advantage of the handover with Cao Cao, so that Zhang Liao took the opportunity to secretly cross the Huai River from a secluded place, and with lightning speed, he directly took Shouchun City, which was evacuated by Cao Cao and the city air defense was empty, this move is simply exquisite.

Drawing the enemy into reality and attacking his weakness is not in line with the essence of the soldiers!

As for the means of crossing the river, it couldn't be simpler, Lu Bu initially ordered the army to supervise the construction of warships, but in only a few days, how could he build so many warships. Later, the side was changed to the construction of rafts, and the rafts only needed to be combined with logs, which greatly shortened the construction period.

In a few days, hundreds of rafts were built, but the purpose of these hundreds of rafts was not for Cao Cao to cross the river.

Lu Bu had already made a plan to connect these hundreds of rafts one by one with dozens of long ropes, lay them on the Huai River, and fix them on the big trees on both sides of the river, so that they could form a wide and flat pontoon bridge, which was not afraid even if the wind blew and the waves blow.

As a result, Ding Xu was responsible for building thousands of rafts, far more than the hundreds that were announced to the public. Lü Bu ordered him to secretly store the extra half of the raft for future use, leaving only half of it to confuse Cao Jun.

In order to cover up people's eyes, Lu Bu deliberately punished Ding Xu for dereliction of duty and supervising unfavorable crimes, but he didn't want to be beautiful, and it happened that Cao Cao sent the envoy Dong Zhao to probe the reality in the army.

Lu Bu and Ding Xu have been the master and slave for many years, and they have their own hearts and minds, and they know what the other party thinks with one look.

In the palace, there was a-for-tat friction, not only did Dong Zhao scheming, but also deceived a group of Lu Bu's henchmen, Wenwu, and it was not until today when Ding Xu set off from the battlefield that everyone was able to know the inside story.

The generals couldn't help but be infected by Ding Xu's pride in swearing to die, and they felt sincere admiration for Lu Bu's careful calculation.

Later, Cao Cao really fell into the plan, thinking that Lu Bu had made a bitter meat plan to lead him to Anfengjin, and then used Ding Xu as an internal response to break through the Huai River defense line on the northern line of Shouchun from Anfengjin.

Therefore, Cao Cao planned to plan, gathered all the troops that could be used in Shouchun, set up heavy defenses on the front line of Anfengjin, and made up his mind not to let Lu Bu get involved in half a step on the south bank of the Huai River, but he didn't want Lu Bu to move high, and use headless arrows to make a bitter meat plan, which led Cao Cao to believe it and allowed Ding Xu and others to go ashore, causing a monstrous disaster, making the entire Cao army camp chaotic, and had to withdraw from the army, hoping to return to Shouchun and then make plans.

But Cao Cao never dreamed that the gains and losses of An Fengjin in front of him were insignificant to Lu Bu, even if he could not successfully cross the river, it was already in Lu Bu's plan, and the only task of the army here was to attract Cao Cao's attention, so that he would not have the opportunity to discover the crisis that Shouchun was about to face, and it was already an unexpected joy to be able to successfully cross the river.

According to Zhang Liao's war report, when the army arrived in Shouchun, the gate of Shouchun City was still wide open, and the city head was empty, and only a few guards guarded the city gate to maintain daily order. When the army came, the defenders thought that Cao Cao's army was going and returned, and only realized that something was wrong when the cavalry approached, and when they wanted to close the city gate and defend the city, it was too late.

Zhang Liao seized the city defense of Shouchun with the momentum of thunder, and cleared the remnants of the soldiers left in the city, closed the four gates to prevent the news from leaking, and waited for Cao Cao to return to Shouchun according to Lu Bu's order.

At this time, the overall situation has been decided, Cao Manipulation has the power of heaven and will never be able to reverse the current situation, there is Lu Bu in front of him to chase and intercept, and then there is Zhang Liao to guard the rabbit, Cao Cao is attacked by the enemy, and it is already difficult to escape.

After the army rested for a while, Lü Bu ordered the generals to immediately pursue Cao Cao.

Cao Cao had already retreated some effort, and he was bound to cut off his retreat when he arrived in Shouchun, so that he would have no way to go to heaven and earth. Otherwise, if he was a few minutes late, with Cao Cao's usual caution, he would continue to flee, and he would never give Lu Bu another chance to besiege him.

At this time, the net has not yet been tightened, and it is not the time to sit back and relax.

But Lu Bu couldn't have imagined that no matter how careful he was, he couldn't calculate, so that he fell short, so that Cao Cao knew in advance that the person who fell in Shouchun was actually a young child. If it weren't for the fact that the dog took advantage of the unattended and rode back to Shouchun alone to rescue the dumb uncle, he would not have attracted Xiahoujie to follow secretly, discovered the danger of Zhang Liao's capture of Shouchun in advance, and reported it to Cao Cao in time.

The so-called providence makes people right, and that's exactly what it is.

When Cao Cao was summoned by Xiahou Jie, he was also shocked and inexplicable, and he really couldn't figure out when Zhang Liao killed him behind him without being noticed by everyone, and now the back road has been cut off, and tens of thousands of troops have become rootless wanderers, and they don't know where to go.

Fortunately, Xiahou Jie found out such a secret matter, otherwise the army would return to Shouchun in a completely defenseless state, and I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe coming, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

At this time, the situation has reached the time of life and death, Cao Cao calmed down, and said to a group of henchmen: "The crisis encountered by our army does not need me to repeat it, I think you have heard it, Zhang Liao's successful sneak attack on Shouchun has made us have no way to retreat, and there are only two ways at the moment, the first is to fight to the death with Lu Bu, and the victory or defeat will be decided in this battle." The next day, the road was to lead the army eastward, and when Lu Bu and the others had not yet realized our intentions, they retreated along Yingshui to the area of Sixian County, Xuzhou as soon as possible. Whether to fight or retreat, you can have a high opinion. ”

Xun You admonished: "The current situation in the capital is not good for Ming Gong, I don't think so, although Lu Bu seems to have the advantage, messing with our army's heart, and cutting off my back road, our army has fallen into a situation where we can't recover." But things in the world have always been blessings and misfortunes, and the combat strength of our army has not been damaged, but Lu Bu divided the army into two in order to surprise attack Shouchun, and the advantage of troops has been greatly weakened. Now that our army is defeated and retreated, Lu Bu must think that he has a plan, thinking that Ming Gong will lead his troops back to Shouchun, and when the time comes, he will have a front and back attack. ”

Cao Cao asked anxiously: "Does Gongda have a way to crack it?" ”

Xun You smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this, since the Duke of Ming has already understood Lu Bu's plan, why not plan the plan, send a suspicious army to make a posture of defeat and retreat, so that Lu Bu and Zhang Liaoxin think it is true, the Duke of Ming can order the powerful general to set up an ambush here, and when Lu Bu passes, the group will attack it, and then it will be Lu Bu who is ambushed by our army, Lu Bu is facing the enemy before and after and has no advantage in strength, and suddenly attacked, I expect him to be defeated, this is not a godsend!" ”

Xun Yu held the opposite opinion, he believed that Lu Bu had won consecutive battles all the way, and it was the time when he was unstoppable, and it was really difficult to say that it was difficult to say that Lu Bu had won the elite with only tens of thousands of ambush troops, and it was better to take advantage of Lu Bu's unnoticed that he would lead his troops east into Xuzhou, and then meet with Cao Pi, the eldest prince stationed in Xuzhou, and then try to deal with the opportunity.

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind, using Xun You's counterattack strategy, he had retreated countless times, if he didn't retreat without a fight at this time with a fifty percent chance of winning, how could he dare to fight against Lu Bu in the future.

Without further ado, send a message to the people to see you in the future.

When all the generals arrived, they were all taken aback when they heard that Cao Cao had the intention to fight here, and Cao Ren persuaded: "Brother, you must not, the morale in the army is low, and when you hear that Shouchun has fallen, you have no intention of fighting, where is there still the power to fight, please think twice." ”

Cao Zhen also said: "What my uncle said is extremely true, Lu Bu is in full swing, and it is not for us to wait for a long-defeated soldier to be able to defeat the enemy, so it is better to temporarily avoid the edge and retreat to Xuzhou, join forces with Zihuan, recruit soldiers, strengthen the momentum, and then find the opportunity for a decisive battle." ”

Cao Cao saw that the generals were cowardly, and he didn't like it, so he asked Xu Chu and Xiahoudun what they meant.

Xu Chu said angrily: "The lord just has to give the order, Xu Chu has nowhere to go." ”

Xiahou also said aloud: "Brother has a life, and he will not give up." ”

Cao Cao saw that these two generals he relied on the most had a fighting spirit, and he felt quite relieved in his heart, but his morale was low, and he suddenly said to Xiahou Jie in a harmonious voice: "The virtuous nephew has probed the important military situation and saved our three armies from danger, so he should be a model for the three armies." ”

When Xiahou Jie heard Cao Cao talk about military exploits, he was immediately overjoyed, he had been in the army for many years, and saw that most of his relatives and friends in the clan had become high-ranking officials, but he still had nothing to do. I thought that this life would be like this, but I didn't expect that in 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, feng shui took turns, and today it was finally his turn to get ahead.

Thinking of this, Xiahou Jie smiled and said: "Uncle has won the award, and the little nephew is just fulfilling his duties, and he doesn't dare to be proud." ”

Cao Cao's face was as calm as water, and he said uncharacteristically: "Very good, but now I still have a difficult matter, and I still need my nephew to solve my worries, are you willing?" ”

Xiahou Jie was overjoyed, thinking that Cao Cao would definitely entrust him with a heavy responsibility, and he was full of generosity at the moment: "The little nephew will go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not give up his death, and he is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Very good, worthy of being the son of the Xiahou clan." ”

After speaking, his expression changed suddenly, and he said: "Come on, Xiahou Jie's rumors about the military situation disturb the hearts of our army, and he will be beheaded by military law." ”

Xia Houjie didn't come back to his senses until he was escorted and dragged out by the guards who rushed in, and said weakly: "Why is my uncle like this? ”

Cao Cao turned around, and his voice was unwavering: "I need to borrow your head to stabilize the army's heart, but I blame you for being too reckless and making the crisis known to everyone." If you are so good, I will take care of your wife and children. ”

Xia Houjie knew that it would be difficult to turn around in this matter, and remembered that at home, the white-haired old mother and the pair of lovely and charming children would probably never see each other again in this life.

Thinking of this, I felt that my heart was like a knife, and I couldn't lift it in one breath, foaming at the mouth, and I was paralyzed in the hands of the guards, and I had no breath anymore.

The guard exclaimed, "General, he's dead." ”

The generals and ministers in the tent all showed unbearable looks, and this person can be regarded as a hero, but he ended up like this, which is not tragic.

Cao Cao didn't look back, and said lightly: "Behead the three armies to set an example." ”

Killing Xiahou Jie, Cao Jun's soldiers learned that the fall of Shouchun was just a rumor, and their morale was greatly boosted, Cao Cao took the opportunity to order Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu to temporarily lead the soldiers and horses into the mountains and forests to set up an ambush, and led more than 10,000 soldiers to make noise all the way, swaggering towards Shouchun, for fear that others would not know that he was going back to Shouchun.

Xun You asked Cao Cao to make a tragic defeat of the army, but Cao Cao disagreed, and said: "If our army is defeated and returns, Zhang Liao will definitely go out of the city to face the battle, which is harmful to our army's encirclement strategy." If our army makes a big victory, it will cause Zhang Liao to be jealous and dare not easily go out of the city to meet the battle, which is the best opportunity for our army to encircle Lu Bu. ”

At this time, there was a different fierce scene in Shouchun City, far from being as calm as Cao Cao and Lu Bu thought.

Zhang Liao encountered the biggest challenge in his life, facing the choice between reason and emotion, which were two completely different paths.

In a single thought, the life and death of many people are in his hands.

So-called:

There is a peaceful lake in the heart, and there are no waves.

The boulder enters the heart, and you see the monstrous waves.
