Chapter 1303: The Fierce Battle of Nanchang (9)
"Hey, hey!! Xiao Juan'er, at that time, I will be able to live with you and live in both places, be above board, go to Wushan with you day and night, be happy, and enjoy all the glory and wealth!! ”
Zhou Cong secretly slandered in his heart, and his eyes were full of greed and yi
The color of filth. Zhou Qiang saw it in his eyes, sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be concerned, and commanded softly.
"There are many difficulties here, if there is a case, his life is not guaranteed, Brother Cong needs to be more cautious. If you don't want to take risks, and you don't force your brother, you can go on a trip by yourself!! ”
As soon as Zhou Qiang's words fell, Zhou Cong's complexion suddenly changed greatly, and he pretended to be righteous and fearless, but the thin long face coupled with the pair of rat-thief-like fine eyes only looked more obscene.
"The brother is the lord of the clan, the body of ten thousand gold, how can he take risks!? My brother is willing to go to the soup and go to the fire, go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and he will not give up!! ”
Zhou Qiang listened, sighed, pressed Zhou Cong's shoulder, and said in a low voice.
"Brother Cong has this thought, and he is already very satisfied with his brother. In the past, my brother was strict with you, all for you to become a great weapon early, and seeing you like this today, it is really not in vain to cultivate your brother!! ”
Zhou Cong said yes, but he sneered in his heart.
"Humph!! Dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths!! Zhou Qiang, you hypocritical villain, you have always regarded me as a thorn in your side, and you want to get rid of me as soon as possible, do you think I don't know!? When Lao Tzu has made great achievements this time, I want you to taste what life is better than death!! ”
At this time, Zhou Cong had already come up with no less than ten ways to torture Zhou Qiang. Zhou Qiang didn't know that he and Zhou Cong had finished delivering at the moment, so he set off earlier. Zhou Cong received the order, so he sneaked out of the city with dozens of henchmen and rushed to the Wei army's Dazhai.
However, it was said that the Wei army had won a great victory, and all the generals came to visit him, and they all asked.
"Your Majesty, how did you expect that the Wu thieves would definitely attack out of the city today?"
Cao Cao smiled brightly, unhurried, and said slowly.
"Our army is armed with thunderbolt chariots and other siege weapons, according to the distant stone strikes, the Wu thieves are in the city and have no power to fight back, if they do not make progress, they will sit and wait to be killed. I expect that there are many bloody people in the Wu thief army, who are determined to fight against the water, and want to destroy the thunderbolt car as much as possible, and they have kept Nanchang without worry. Therefore, I issued an order early and taught 50,000 soldiers and horses to ambush first. As soon as the Wu thief's soldiers and horses moved, they obeyed the order and came out, attacked him, and killed him by surprise!! ”
As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, all the generals woke up and bowed together.
"Your Majesty's scheming, Tao is unparalleled, and everyone is inferior!!"
Cao Cao was very happy, laughed, and said to the generals.
"It also depends on the strength of you and other civil and military forces, how can I take credit!"
So Cao Cao rewarded the army, and all the generals and soldiers were very happy. Even Wang Ping was rewarded by Cao Cao, Wang Ping spoke politely, but Cao Cao repeatedly asked for a reward, but Wang Ping couldn't refuse, so he had to take it. At this moment, a scout suddenly came to report, saying that he had captured a team of dozens of people at the foot of the mountain, claiming to be from the Zhou clan in Nanchang, saying that there was a confidential matter and he wanted to meet Cao Cao. When Cao Cao heard this, he frowned, and then taught him to bring him in. After a while, Zhou Cong and a group of henchmen were escorted by Wei soldiers to Cao Cao's tiger tent. The Wei generals in the tent had cold faces and cast their eyes one after another. Zhou Cong was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him. Cao Cao squinted at the pair of detailed eyes that could swallow the sky, looked at Zhou Cong coldly, and saw that he looked obscene, so he was a little unhappy in his heart, and asked coldly.
"Why are you waiting to come and see me!?"
Cao Cao's voice was not big, but it was surging and majestic, where had Zhou Cong seen such a person, he trembled, and hurriedly reported them one by one according to Zhou Qiang's instructions.
"Back to Your Majesty, I am a member of the Zhou clan in Nanchang, Sun Zhongmou is mediocre and incompetent, and it is difficult to protect Nanchang. Therefore, my brother Zhou Qiang wants to raise his clan to surrender to the Great Wei. Tonight, my brother saw the soldiers and horses in the city moving greatly, presumably Sun Zhongmou saw that it was difficult to stop His Majesty's strong army, and wanted to evacuate. Therefore, send the villain to report, now my brother has prepared the people in the clan, ready at any time, three days later, will open the north gate of Nanchang, Nanchang dedicated to His Majesty! At that time, Your Majesty will not only be able to get Nanchang without much effort, but also take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, break the Wu soldiers, and capture that Sun Zhongmou in one fell swoop!! ”
Zhou Cong is articulate and eloquent. When Cao Cao heard this, his face turned cold, and he looked at Zhou Cong carefully. Zhou Cong lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly, cowering and bowing. I don't know how long it took for Cao Cao to speak.
"I know that. You can send a few people back to report it, and the rest of them will rest in the army first. If what you say, it is all true, when Nanchang City is broken and succeeded, it will naturally be an indispensable reward!! ”
When Zhou Cong heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he thanked him repeatedly, and then quickly retreated with a group of henchmen, taught a few people to go back to report to Zhou Qiang, and the rest of the people followed Cao Cao's instructions to rest in the village and wait for news. Not long after Zhou Cong left, Cao Cao sneered in his heart, looked at the generals in the tent, and asked.
"In public opinion, is this credible?"
Zhang Jaw's expression sank, and he attended the first way.
"Now there are not many troops in Nanchang City, and there is no way for Wu thieves to break our army's thunderbolts. Sun Zhongmou knew that it was difficult to fight, so he wanted to evacuate, return to Wu County to collect soldiers and horses, and then fight to the death with our army. In this way, this matter is not false. ”
Cao Cao listened, muttered, and looked at Xiahou Yuan. Xiahou Yuan was stunned and shouted.
"Our army has the upper hand, why bother, wait for the army to rest for the night, and the next day we will personally lead the troops, break through its city gate with a thunderbolt, and kill the Wu thieves!!"
After Xiahou Yuan finished speaking, Cao Cao was also silent, and then looked at Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei's face froze, and he bowed his hand.
"If you want to attack head-on, Wu thieves will resist desperately, and casualties will be inevitable. In Yiwei's opinion, if Wu Thief really wants to withdraw, there will be movement. Your Majesty can send scouts to visit from the heights on all sides of Nanchang, and you have your own conclusion!! ”
When Cao Cao heard this, his face moved, and he smiled.
"What Boyo said is most in line with my heart!"
So, according to Jiang Wei's words, Cao Cao sent scouts outside Nanchang to investigate the movements in the city. The next day, in Nanchang City, Wu soldiers from all departments packed up. The scouts returned, and when the generals heard it, they all thought that Soochow wanted to withdraw, and they all asked for war. Cao Cao's face was cold, and he ordered the troops to remain unmoved. At night, the scouts came to report again, and many soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu withdrew from the south gate. The generals were urgently persuaded to fight, but Cao Cao still did not come out. On the second day, the scouts came again to report that most of the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu had been withdrawn from the city. The city is empty. When the generals heard this, they were all anxious and anxious to fight. Cao Cao suddenly laughed.
"Haha, Dongwu Juncai is not ordinary, this time I want to use a plan to make money, how can I fall for it!!"
Cao Cao suddenly laughed, and when the generals heard it, they were all confused and hurriedly asked. Cao Cao's expression froze, his eyes shimmered, he was not in a hurry, and said in a cold voice.
"The Eastern Wu army evacuated in disguise, and the previous time I taught the Zhou clan to deliberately come to report, wanting to lure our army to enter the city. If I am correct, in fact, the removal of soldiers and horses is all the people's disguise. But all his soldiers were ambushed in the city, and when our army entered the city, they set fire to it, and all the soldiers were ambushed. When the time comes, our army is unprepared, and we will be killed by Wu thieves without leaving a piece of armor!! ”
As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, all the generals did not change color, and many people were even a little suspicious in their eyes, seemingly unbelieving. Cao Cao sneered, and the speedy scouts went to pursue and investigate. At the time of the first shift, the scouts reported that the soldiers and horses withdrawn from Nanchang were indeed uneven and undisciplined, and they were all rabble!
When the generals heard the report, they woke up, made amends one after another, and said in unison.
"If it weren't for His Majesty's divine calculation, we would have almost missed a big thing!!"
Cao Cao waved his hand, his eyes were cold, and he said to the generals.
"When I saw Zhou Cong a few days ago, he was a thief with eyebrows and rat eyes, eloquent, and able to speak well, so I knew that this person was not credible. Spread my order, and beheaded all the people of Zhou Cong and others in Yuanmen, and showed them to the three armies. At the same time, I will order the three armies not to move lightly!! ”
Cao Cao gave an order, and the generals received their orders one after another. said that Zhou Cong waited for two days, and when he saw that the time was coming, he was overjoyed, and he was thinking about how to torture Zhou Qiang and live a chic life after gaining power in the future. Suddenly, there was a tremor and hurried footsteps outside the tent. Zhou Cong was shocked, and looked at the henchmen in the tent. At this moment, suddenly a member of Wei led his troops into the tent with a murderous spirit, and without saying a word, he captured Zhou Cong and the others. Zhou Cong was suddenly frightened, heartbroken, and innocent. But General Wei didn't listen, and escorted Zhou Cong and others to the gate. Zhou Cong's screams were about to turn into screams like killing pigs. Patches of blood rain flew, and in an instant, heads fell to the ground and rolled. Zhou Cong's head rolled to the feet of a Wei soldier, and the pair of fine eyes were full of horror, unwillingness, and fear. The Wei soldier spat at Zhou Cong's face, and then stepped on it and stepped on it into a pulp.
A wicked man is his own hell. Before Zhou Cong died, he never thought that it was Zhou Qiang, the clan brother who had always been regarded as incompetent, who killed him! And on the night of Zhou Cong's death, Zhou Qiang's concubine was whipped to death by Zhou Qiang's secret order to be beaten to death by Ding Shengsheng, a member of the clan, and after his death, his body was cut into meat paste and fed to the dogs.
On the third day, the scouts came to report that there were no soldiers and horses in the city. Cao Cao thought it was fraud, but he still did not make any progress. After a few days, Cao Cao heard that the city of Nanchang was very strange, and went to investigate in person, and after looking at it for a while, he noticed the clue and immediately ordered the three armies to try to attack the city. How do you know that the people of Nanchang in the city saw the Wei soldiers killing with great momentum, and immediately opened the city gate and dedicated the city. Cao Cao was suspicious, and quickly taught Jiang Wei to lead an army into the city to investigate, and Jiang Wei was ordered to enter quickly. Half an hour later, Jiang Wei sent a general to report back, reporting that there was not a single soldier of Dongwu in the city, and the treasury of the city was empty! Cao Cao listened, Fang knew the plan, shouted angrily, and wanted to send an army to pursue, but he thought that the Eastern Wu soldiers had already withdrawn, and he was suddenly so angry that he was furious, and he rushed to the crown angrily, leading the troops to rush in, and enter Nanchang first. The Wei soldiers flocked into the city, and sure enough, there were no Wu soldiers in the city, Cao Cao ordered people to quickly capture the Zhou family, but Zhou Qiang had already fled with the Eastern Wu army yesterday!
Cao Cao was angry and remorseful, but the matter had come to this point, and Cao Cao had no choice but to suppress his anger and rectify the three armies in Nanchang City first. However, although Cao Cao was placed by the Eastern Wu army, Nanchang City finally fell under the hands of the self-army. Cao Cao's anger was quickly extinguished, and he consulted with a group of soldiers that night.
