Chapter 224: Xu Rong ambushes Cao Cao
It is said that Cao Cao, Fa Zheng, and Zhang Miao attacked the city.
Not long after, Guancheng was captured, and the three of them captured Guancheng, only to find that Dong Zhuo's defenders were all defeated and retreated.
Cao Cao said: "Below the city, call all the troops to Luoyang together." ”
So he sent someone to Yuan Shao to ask everyone to send troops together.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others were eating and drinking at this time, and they were extremely surprised to hear that Cao Cao and the three of them had won the Tiger Prison Pass in half a day.
However, as soon as they heard that Cao Cao wanted them to march together, they shook their heads and refused, saying that the soldiers were tired and needed to rest.
"It seems that there are still only three of us chasing the enemy." Cao Cao was not hypocritical, so the three soldiers and horses pursued Zhao Yu, Hu Zhen, and Xu Rong in the starry night.
Cao Cao had more soldiers and horses, and Zhang Miao had a part of the cavalry, so Cao Cao took the cavalry and Zhang Miao's subordinate Wei Zi to set off first, and the army marched to the broken bridge fifteen miles east of the revolving gate.
Cao Cao was shocked, and his generals were all panicked, and when the battle was not long, he had to lead his troops back.
After retreating less than three miles, I saw another army and horses on the side of the mountain road.
This army is under the banner of General Xu and is the Xu Rong Department.
Cao Cao's army was even more disgraced, and hurriedly resisted, Xu Rong saw Cao Cao shoot an arrow, hitting Cao Cao's shoulder.
Cao Cao's generals fought desperately to cover Cao Cao's retreat, and at this time, Zhao Yu and Hu Zhen led troops to chase after him.
Cao Cao's troops could only flee east in embarrassment, with countless casualties.
"Where is this?" Hua Xiong woke up slowly, his neck was sore and sore, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Fa Zheng's harmless face of humans and animals, and immediately closed his mouth and looked left and right, and found that there was no Guan Yu, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fa Zheng smiled and groaned, raised his eyebrows and said: "Hua Xiong, we have just captured the Tiger Prison Pass, and we are chasing Dong Zhuo's guard of the pass, and it won't be long before we can reach Luoyang City, isn't it a surprise, isn't it a surprise!" ”
"Impossible, you can't attack the Tiger Prison, you can't defeat the prime minister, you don't want to trick me into surrendering......" Hua Xiong didn't know the careful thinking of this guy Fazheng, this was to disintegrate his self-confidence, but when he said this, his eyes bulged, because he saw Fazheng's familiar hand style.
A muffled sound came, and Hua Xiong turned half of his face with difficulty and saw the bearded Guan Hai.
"I'm sorry, it's the first time, it's ...... rusty," Guan Hai said with an apologetic face.
Hua Xiong's eyes sank, and he fainted again......
Just when Fa Zheng was teasing Hua Xiong, he rode back in front.
"Report! Captain Cao's soldiers and horses were ambushed by General Dong Zhuo twice in a row and were fleeing in the direction of our army. ”
Fa Zheng, Zhang Miao, Guan Yu, Guan Hai and others were all surprised.
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao fell into an ambush.
Zhang Miao drew his sword and said, "Line up to meet the enemy." ”
Fa Zheng rolled his eyes, and said busily: "Slow, Captain Cao's defeated soldiers are cavalry, and Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses are also cavalry, and it is not good for our army to meet the enemy on the road. ”
The opponent is cavalry, and the other side is infantry, and if they fight normally on the road, the foot soldiers will be defeated.
Zhang Miao felt that there was some reason, so the army immediately walked up the mountain and squatted down.
After a short time, Cao Cao's defeated troops fled back, followed by the menacing Xiliang soldiers.
When Cao Cao's rout passed, Fa Zheng and Zhang Miao and Cao Cao's foot soldiers came out of the mountain.
But Xu Rong restrained his retreat and continued to fight.
When Zhao Yu, Hu Zhen, and Xu Rong fought with Fa Zheng and others for a few moments, they saw that they really couldn't defeat the foot soldiers of the three armies, so they had to lead their troops back to the revolving gate.
So far, Cao Cao has lost 2,000 generals, Zhang Miao's Weizi has been killed in battle, and the cavalry has also been lost, and the loss of three soldiers and horses has reached 5,000.
"Hahaha, it's still a powerful martyr, taking retreat as advance, leading the Kanto rats to chase after him, and ambushing him on the road, it really works." Back at the revolving gate, Zhao Yu said to Xu Ronghe.
Xu Rong nodded.
Hu Zhen said: "It's a pity that Cao Cao ran away, otherwise the prime minister would have been very happy." ”
Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo's hatred for Cao Cao was no less than that of Xu Ding.
"It doesn't matter, since we can defeat Cao Cao once, we can defeat it twice." Xu Rong said confidently:
"I don't know if you have found it, there are only three Kwantung coalition forces chasing after them, namely Cao Cao, Zhang Miao and the people of Weiyuan Island, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and others have not entered the army, it seems that the Kwantung princes are not aligned, and the revolving door is closed and guarded."
"Yes, there are only three armies of the Kwantung rats who dare to pursue, it seems that Yuan Shao and these people are not harmonious, I'm afraid it's really dirty." Zhao Qi echoed.
The pursuit failed, and Cao Cao, Fa Zheng and Zhang Miao retreated to the Tiger Prison.
Cao Cao personally came to the allied camp this time and asked Yuan Shaodao: "Today, our army is breaking through the tiger prison and pointing at Luoyang, and the army can attack Kyoto in less than three days. ”
"Meng De's words are wrong, although the tiger prison is down, but the revolving door is still in the hands of Dong thieves, the army is untrained, rushing to advance the army, I am afraid of many deaths and injuries, which is not conducive to the morale of the army, it is better to wait for some time, and it is not too late to enter the army when the weather improves."
Knowing that Yuan Shao was shirking, Cao Cao sighed secretly, quite disappointed, and then gave his leave.
"Ding! Master, your friend Cao Cao posted a message! ”
"Ding! Master, your friend Fa Zheng posted a message! ”
"Ding! Master, your friend Guan Yu posted a message! ”
Could it be that Meng De and Xiaozhi received my message and began to attack the Tiger Prison.
Xu Ding hurriedly clicked on it.
Sure enough, the circle of friends of the three of them revealed a lot of information.
The tiger prison was taken under the attack of Cao Cao, Fa Zheng, and Zhang Miao.
Yuan Shao and others did not participate and were unwilling to send troops.
Then the three pursued Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses, Cao Cao was ambushed first, and then Fa Zheng and others used the geography to avoid a catastrophe.
"Xu Rong! Sure enough, it is a dark horse, a rare celebrity. ”
In the original history, Cao Cao was also ambushed by Xu Rong and almost didn't hang up, but I didn't expect that this time it was still his way, and it was really fate.
"If Yuan Shao's gang doesn't send troops, the situation will be complicated and troublesome." Although Xu Ding expected that Yuan Shao and the others would not lead the away, he didn't expect this guy to be such a scoundrel.
The Tiger Prison Pass has been taken down, and he still refuses to enter the army.
I'm so jealous of myself, it's really a bunch of families!
The interests of the family are above all else.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Ding said: "Come on, go and invite Sun Jian!" ”
Soon Sun Jian came over and asked, "Bokang, do you have something to do with me?" ”
Xu Dingdao: "Wentai, we miscalculated, I thought that we would enter Luoyang and create opportunities for the Guanqi army, they could easily win all the checkpoints, and then bring the army to Luoyang to destroy Dong Zhuo together, but I didn't expect that below the Tiger Prison Pass, Yuan Shao and others were reluctant to enter the army, and there was no plan to save the Son of Heaven, save the three princes and Jiuqing and the people of Luoyang." ”
Xu Ding truthfully told Sun Jian about Cao Cao, Fa Zheng and others.
When Sun Jian heard this, he said angrily: "A group of villains, all of whom are greedy for life and afraid of death, only know the shade, but they don't worry about the country and solve their difficulties, and they still have high hopes for them, I didn't expect it to be so shameless." ”
After scolding, Sun Jian asked, "Then Bokang, what should I do next?" Although we defeated Dong Zhuo, but this is the use of geography, out of the plan, now our means Dong Zhuo knows, he has too many soldiers and horses, just defend against us, do not rashly attack, it is difficult for us to hit them hard, it is difficult not to take Luoyang. ”
"In the end, we have too few soldiers and horses." Xu Ding also had to admit that Dong Zhuo had expanded his army too violently in the past two years, and there were so many more soldiers and horses at once, so he thought about it for a while:
"Wentai, I have an idea, this idea will make you a little dangerous, I don't know if you are willing to accept it."
Sun Jian said: "Bo Kang, please say, when is this, as long as you can defeat and defeat Dong Zhuo, there is nothing that cannot be said." ”
"Okay, since Wentai is so happy, then we ......" Xu Ding whispered his plan next to Sun Jian.
Sun Jian's face was solemn after hearing this, and his fists slowly clenched.
