Chapter 579: Cao's army breaks through Xiapi City
Although it is a well-known elite in the world, and its combat power is indeed not bad, it is only a trap camp of 800 soldiers, even if it adds 1,200 soldiers who dare to die, it is not the opponent of the Yanzhou army. After all, there are a large number of people, and they also have a geographical advantage, and they are not vegetarians, so their combat power is not ordinary.
This battle was definitely the most tragic after Cao Cao's Yanzhou army entered Xuzhou. So don't look at Gao Shun, there are only 2,000 people, but after all, the battle is by no means decided by the number of people, and the combat power of just 2,000 people is equivalent to more than 10,000 ordinary soldiers. It's just that even so, there is still a huge difference in strength between them and the Yanzhou army, which cannot be made up for now.
Cao Chun took the tiger and leopard to ride directly against Gao Shun's trap camp, to say that he knew that Gao Shun brought the trap camp to fight with his own side, the happiest person was definitely Cao Chun. He came to Xuzhou to see this world-famous trapped camp, but unfortunately Gao Shun never played before. But this time, it was finally time for him, so he didn't press the excitement in his heart, and directly led the tiger and leopard to ride towards the trapped camp.
As a result, the trapped camp and the 1,200-strong death squad soldiers were overwhelmed, after all, this tiger and leopard cavalry was not an ordinary soldier of the Yanzhou army, it was an even more elite team than the Qingzhou soldiers, and it was a cavalry, so it was no wonder that the trapping camp of the foot soldiers did not suffer.
After fighting, Gao Shun knew that it was impossible to do anything tonight, so he shouted loudly at this time, "Wen Yuan retreat quickly, I'll break the back!" Quick, let's go! ”
At this time, in Gao Shun's eyes, only by letting Zhang Liao leave can he have the opportunity to avenge himself and others, or everyone will be wiped out here, then don't talk about revenge or revenge. After all, it is "to stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood". And Zhang Liao is the hope for him and the trapped camp and those dead soldiers!
Zhang Liao naturally understood that as soon as he gritted his teeth, he retreated under the cover of Gao Shun.
Cao Chun led his troops to intercept Zhang Liao, but it was a pity that his two martial arts skills could be Zhang Liao's opponent. Zhang Liao's martial arts are also first-class and inferior, so when Guan Yu is not here, there is really no one who can stop him, let alone the soldiers.
At least under the desperate cover of Gao Shun and the trapped camp, Zhang Liao retreated safely, and he went directly to the southeast. Although the Yanzhou army and some generals are unwilling to do this. But looking at Gao Shun and the soldiers trapped in the camp at this time, they were like crazy, and they couldn't control Zhang Liao too much, so they could only solve Gao Shun and them first.
As a result, none of the 800 soldiers in the camp survived. Not a single one escaped, not a single one was captured. They all died in the Yanzhou Army camp. And their coach Gao Shun. Naturally, he also died in battle. As for the 1,200 soldiers of the death squad, it was a little worse, but some of them escaped or were captured. After all, although it is called a death squad, how many people are really not afraid of death, so it is actually human nature. At least they can't be expected to be compared to the trapped.
Cao Ren and Cao Chun, two brothers, were responsible for leading the soldiers to clean up the battlefield. The previous big battle really made them still can't forget it at this time. In the end, Cao Chun was forced to bring the tigers and leopards here, and then the result was naturally obvious. Now you can see at a glance -
At this time, Cao Ren and Cao Chun finished cleaning the battlefield, they came to the big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Ren said to Cao Cao: "Lord, Gao Shun fell into the camp of 800 soldiers, all of them died in battle, no life survived, Gao Shun also died here!" ”
Cao Cao sighed lightly when he heard this, and those who heard the news, whether it was the generals of the Yanzhou Army, or the two strategists of Cheng Yu and Xun You, they all had to secretly admire Gao Shun and the trapped camp in their hearts.
After all, it was indeed the first time they had seen a soldier who could all die in battle, and not a single one of them fled or surrendered. Although there are only 800 people, this number is actually not too much of a problem. Because they already have reason to believe at this time that even if they are 8,000 soldiers, as long as they are still trapped in the camp, then the final result may be the same.
"Alas, at this point, the 'trapped camp' has disappeared in the world! This time it turned out to be their most embarrassing sound!! ”
Cao Cao did have a lot of regrets in his heart, he didn't understand, if such an elite could be used for himself, how good it would be, what a pity.
"Buried Gao Shun, although he was defeated, he was still honored, but he was a good opponent of our army when he fell into the camp, but unfortunately he never had a chance to fight with him again!"
From the mouth of their lord, everyone heard great regret. In fact, if you think about it, this is indeed the case, Gao Shun and his trapped camp have disappeared in the long river of history since then, maybe future generations can still know that there is such an elite team, but there is no longer any of them in the world.
Fighting, it was over at this time, and it was dawn, and Cao Cao ordered at this time: "The soldiers are entering Xiapi, and the city is broken at this time!" ”
"No!"
Cao Ren led the victorious army to immediately attack Xiapi, but it was naturally impossible for Xiapi to hold it anymore, so Cao Xing died in battle, and Chen Gong and others were defeated and captured-
In addition to Cao Xing, who died in battle, the Yanzhou sergeant also captured three people, namely the two generals under Lu Bu's account, Li Feng and Xue Lan, and the last was the military division under Lu Bu's account, the only strategist Chen Gongtai. That is, Chen Gong, the traitor of the Yanzhou army, who raided Yanzhou with Lu Bu at the beginning, of course, this traitor is only for the Yanzhou army, Cao Cao and their side think.
Li Feng and Xue Lan surrendered without accident, and they only realized at this time that their lord didn't know where Lu Dao had gone, and as a result, they were left with a few people who were stupidly guarding the city. Since his lord is like this, how can he still be loyal to him? Defecting to the Yanzhou Army and working under Cao Sikong's account may have a better way out than before. For them, it is not the same to whom they do things, and they are not loyal people in the first place.
As a result, when he arrived at Chen Palace, Cao Cao cherished his talents, and specially persuaded a few words, which means that as long as you Chen Gongtai rejoin our army, then the past is not to blame.
And Chen Gong laughed when he heard it, for him, "the Tao is different, not conspiring with each other", he thinks that he and Cao Mengde are not people along the way, so how can they do things under him. Cao Cao can't help it, maybe he and Chen Gong are indeed different, after all, they are still different.
In fact, Cao Cao also has a lot of things that he doesn't quite understand, and he also specially asked Chen Gong, just saying, Am I Cao Mengde not as good as him Lu Fengxian? And Chen Gong replied, that means that Lu Bu is stronger than you Cao Mengde, but Cao Cao had nothing to say at that time. In Cao Cao's opinion, even if he Lu Bu is strong, but now, he has fled to Jiangdong with his wife and daughter, but he occupies Xuzhou, becomes the king and loses the king, he is the winner, and Lu Fengxian is just a loser, that's it.
But Chen Gong is a tendon, so he doesn't recognize Cao Cao, so Cao Cao has no choice but to kill him. After all, people can't be used for themselves, and generally speaking, if he is a great talent, he will either be killed or put under house arrest. But this is not the case for Chen Gong, after all, compared with Dacai, it is still a lot worse. But he had to die, because it was because of him, so he let Lu Bu attack several counties in Yanzhou, which caused his own losses to be great, so he could only give an explanation to everyone on his side once he died.
Cao Cao had no choice but to let Chen Gong hang to death. But he still remembered the old love, and he still left the whole corpse for Chen Gong, even if it was an acquaintance-
Regarding Chen Gong's death, it is said that the happiest people in the Yanzhou army are Cheng Yu and Xun You. For the two of them, it would be great that Chen Gong would no longer take refuge in his lord, or if he really threw himself into his lord's account again, then wouldn't he have less right to speak under his lord's account.
In fact, now Cao Cao's account is really a three-legged tripod, Xun Yu, Xun You and Cheng Yu, as for the other scribes, it is indeed incomparable with these three. Now the three of them are the three strategists of Cao Ying, Xun Yu has more control, and as long as Cao Cao goes on the expedition, then the base camp will definitely be handed over to Xun Yu to take care of. This is not only Cao Cao's trust in his people, but also Xun Yu's ability and talent. Moreover, the mobilization of grain and grass, as well as some other important matters in the army, are all under the control of Xun Yu.
As for Xun You, he is more good at military affairs, and he is a particularly insightful strategist in the art of war, so in the military, Xun You can help Cao Cao in a lot of places, so basically, if you can take him with you on the expedition, Cao Cao will take him.
Cheng Yu is actually better at calculating people, although he is not as good as Jia Xu, but he should not be underestimated. If you don't have any defense, then you may be hit at once. Therefore, Cao Cao's detailed work is under his management, and the information collected by the detailed work is also the most prophetic of his society.
Of course, Xun Yu can of course also calculate people, and Cheng Yu also knows how to strategize, but everyone's best thing is different. So in fact, Xun You and Cheng Yu complement each other, and under Cao Cao's account, they have indeed made great efforts.
So at this time, if you add another Chen Gong, then it is really not a good thing for the two of them. Of course
The most important thing is not that they are for their own right to speak, but because Chen Gong is a traitor to the Yanzhou Army, so this is it, the two of them want him to die more than anything else. If it was someone else, then the two might be able to save their lives in front of Cao Cao.
Just like Sima Yi at the beginning, Cheng Yu saw that Sima Yi was such a dangerous person, but for the sake of his lord's plan, he still let Cao Cao be the last to recruit Sima Yi for his own use, which has to be said to be a typical example. (To be continued......)
