Chapter 142 - Cao Cangshu vs Li Cunxiao
Just when the Jiujiang Army withdrew from Cangwu in batches, Li Cunxiao, who went deep into the hinterland of the Jiujiang Army, also led his 2,000 men and horses to Guiyang at this time.
"General, haven't we already burned down Yixing Town and the surrounding three towns? I'm afraid of ...... if I'm alone in this way."
Faced with the question of the deputy general, Li Cunxiao just shook his head and said: "If the task is just to burn down the three towns, it is really too unchallenging!" Ben naturally knew that something big would happen if he didn't go deep alone. However, now is the best time for our army to go deeper!"
"Why did the general say that?" The adjutant asked with a puzzled expression.
"As far as I know, there are no more than 100,000 soldiers in Jiujiang. Excluding the losses from the previous battles, the Jiujiang Army should only have more than 70,000 people left! And now in Cangwu City, there should be no less than 50,000 Jiujiang troops!
In other words, except for Cangzhou, the combined strength of other counties is only more than 20,000 people! These 20,000 people are then divided into counties, so how many people can be left in Changsha? So, now is the best time for our army! Taking advantage of the fact that the reinforcements from Jiujiang did not arrive, they took Changsha in one fell swoop! This will be a fatal blow to Cao Cao and even the entire Jiujiang Army!"
"That's it! Order your brothers, rest in place for two hours! After dawn, climb over this mountain and go straight to Guiyang!"
"Yes!"
However, what Li Cunxiao didn't know was that the plan to attack Guiyang this time was defeated by a child!
…………
At this time, there were also dozens of camps in another densely wooded mountain twenty miles away from Guiyang. Among them, there is also a camp tent with the largest shape, and a discerning person can see at a glance that this is a handsome tent.
But no one could have guessed that the man living in this tent was a child as young as ten years old!
"Uncle Dian, how is the situation ahead of my father?" I only heard a childish voice in the tent.
At this time, Dian Wei, who was standing in the tent, heard it and immediately said: "Young master, according to the news from the front, the lord is fine now, just ......"
"Just what?"
"Well, it's just that our army's grain town was destroyed by the Qin army." Dian Wei said helplessly.
"Oh? How is that possible? I heard my eldest brother and father say that the important grain town of our army is the three towns around Yixing, and there is still a long way to go from Cangwu City! Could it be that the Qin army attacked by a detour? I saw the child's eyes turn and he said smartly.
When Dian Wei heard this, he was also a little helpless in his heart, but in the face of the clever young master in front of him, of course he didn't dare to hide it in the slightest.
When he told the child in front of him everything he knew.
"Oh? Defeat Uncle Xiahou and Uncle Zhongkang alone? Uncle Dian, it seems that this Li Cunxiao still has real skills!" After listening to Dian Wei's words, the child couldn't help but nod.
Dian Wei naturally agrees with the child's point of view on this point.
After all, the strength of Xu Chu and Xiahoudun is known by themselves. These two people dare not say that they are better than themselves, but they cannot be too much worse than themselves. was actually defeated by this Li Cunxiao with his own strength, which shows the courage of this Li Cunxiao!
"Hmmm! In view of this, Li Cunxiao is so brave. Uncle Dian, I've changed my mind!" Listen only to the child's immature voice.
"Great, young master, since you have figured it out, why don't you go back now! I'm going to get the soldiers out of the way!" Dian Wei happily walked out of the tent.
Now Dian Wei is extremely happy, and he must know that if he hadn't fallen for the trick of his little young master, he would not have led troops out of Changsha with Cao Chong. After all, Cao Chong is only ten years old, and if he lets the lord know, then he will suffer!
However, before Dian Wei could reach the tent door, he was stopped by the child.
"Stop! Who said that Ben should go back?!"
"Huh? Didn't you change your mind, young master? Dian Wei said without a reaction for a while.
Looking at Dian Wei's puzzled face, Cao Chong smiled evilly: "Hmph! Didn't you say that Li Cunxiao defeated Uncle Xiahou and Uncle Xu Chu alone?
That's an interesting guy! This young master now wants to meet this Li Cunxiao and see how capable he is!"
"What, what? Less, less master? After listening to Cao Chong's words, Dian Wei was shocked and couldn't close his mouth.
"You heard me right, right? Even Li Cunxiao, who is not an opponent of Yuan Rang and Zhongkang, is actually going to find him? Isn't this an old birthday star eating arsenic - is it tired? ”
"What? Uncle Mo Fei, are you afraid? The young man looked at Dian Wei's face with surprise, and immediately asked.
To be honest, not only did Cao Chong want to meet the legendary Li Cunxiao, but even Dian Wei himself had a feeling of eagerness to try this Li Cunxiao after hearing that Li Cunxiao defeated Xiahoudun and Xu Chu.
This may be the philosophy of the strong.
But unfortunately, after being injured by Xiang Yu's hateful guy last time, the injury has not healed, and now his arm is still a little weak, otherwise he would have been able to see Li Cunxiao's ability!
"Oh? Uncle Dian Wei, are you really scared? Then don't blame me for telling my father, you secretly ran to the Desire Immortal Building to find the matter of the female concubine!" Cao Chong looked at Dian Wei for a long time and didn't reply, and even took out Dian Wei's pigtail in his hand and threatened Dian Wei.
Hearing Cao Chong's threatening tone, Dian Wei immediately said, "Hmph! I'm not afraid! It doesn't matter if I live or die, I'm afraid that I won't be able to protect you, young master, after all, Li Cunxiao's force is too strong, and I'm afraid of him! Young master, let's go back! Dian Wei sincerely persuaded.
Cao Chong faced Dian Wei's persuasion, but he shook his head resolutely and said, "No! Uncle Dian Wei, Cang Shu knows that you are for my good! Although Cang Shu is only ten years old, he already knows a lot!
Originally, I sneaked out this time just to help my father, and besides, Li Cunxiao burned his father's military rations, so I have to make him suffer a little!"
Dian Wei naturally knew that Cao Chong in front of him was extremely smart since he was a child, and his thinking was different from ordinary people. But no matter how powerful Cao Chong is, after all, he is just a naughty boy who is less than ten years old, with two thousand Praetorian Guards, and he wants to make Li Cunxiao, who is alone in the depths, suffer. To be honest, Dian Wei said that he would not believe anything!
"Young master, I know that you are extremely smart, but that Li Cunxiao is like a tiger descending from the mountain, and even I am not sure that he is left. Besides, we only have 2,000 Praetorian Guards in our hands now, so we don't have any advantage at all! Dian Wei said bitterly.
"Hahaha! Uncle Dian Wei, I don't care if Li Cunxiao is a tiger descending the mountain, no matter how brave the generals in this world are, they will be defeated by the plan after all!
Look at that Xiang Yu, the young man was able to carry the tripod and fought more than 70 battles, and his bravery can be said to be unprecedented, but in the end, he was almost surrounded by Han Xin and died.
So, Uncle Dian Wei, fighting a war is not all about force, but more importantly, strategy! If you have the force, you can be a general, but if you have a good plan! That's handsome!
Since ancient times, it has been said that a thousand armies are easy to obtain, but a general is hard to find. But from Cangshu's point of view, this handsome man can rival a hundred generals!"
