Chapter 11: The Battle of Xiaopei
Xiaopeicheng, but seeing the chickens and dogs smell each other, the folk customs are simple, setting off a comfortable atmosphere after the war, the current Cao Ang and Sima Yi are standing on the Chenglou Mountain looking at this picturesque folk customs, but it is a pity that there is a lack of comfortable mood.
"General, I heard that Xu Du's soldiers and horses have already set out for the battle, so we just need to defend it now." Cao Ang nodded when he heard this, he seemed to be thinking about something, his eyes shining.
According to the report of the spies, Lu Bu has already sent troops to Xuzhou, and sent Hao Meng, Xu Yan and others to replace Chen Gong to defend Xiao Pass, Chen Gong is also a first-class strategist in the world, compared with his wisdom, Cao Ang does not have enough confidence, think about it, at this time, it is better to hold the city wall.
"General," Sima Yi said slowly. I don't know what the chief manager has in mind? Cao Ang immediately came to the spirit. "General, why don't you let Lu Bu into the city and set up an ambush in the urn city?" Hearing this, Cao Ang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "If there is only Lu Bu, it may be possible, but I heard that Chen Gong also came with the army to fight, this person is wise, I am afraid that Lu Bu will be recognized by Chen Gong before he has attacked Wengcheng." β
Sima Yi was silent when he heard this, for him, what made him most curious about his master was this ability to recognize people, almost without any source of information, he could guess a person almost as soon as he heard the name, this kind of ability is sometimes really chilling. Therefore, he has always done his best to do things for the general, and he has done things without distractions.
And Cao Ang still bowed his head and pondered, and after a while: "Forget it, then don't design, let him attack." "Don't design? Let it attack? Sima Yi's eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled: "Yes, now the general is both endeavoured and powerful, and with Liu Bei as the auxiliary, he can also be regarded as the support of the people, and the military horses are also quite strong, except for the simple city of Xiaopei, there is no disadvantage." Perhaps, defending the city with peace of mind is really the best way. β
Cao Ang sighed loudly: "Dad, you have to hold on tightly."
ββββ
Qixiang, Cao Cao's military camp, "Ming Gong, Xiaopeicheng Guo is simple, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on." Ming Gong should march quickly. The speaker was Xun You, Cao Cao held his long beard and sighed: "No matter what time it is, it will be three days later." β
Guo Jia on the side said with a smile: "Don't worry too much, although Xiaopeicheng is dilapidated, but there are a lot of soldiers and horses, in terms of siege alone, Lu Bujingcai is not superior, and Chen Deng is maneuvering around, there is no major event, and now the most important thing is to divide the troops to seize Shanyang, Rencheng, and Fengxian." Block the way of the thieves of Mount Tai, and send a general to the Jiuli Mountain to deter the soldiers of Xiaoguan, and then we can go to break Lu Bu with peace of mind and take Xuzhou. β
Cao Cao heard the words and praised: "What Feng Xiao said is very good, in this way, Xiahou Yuan can be stationed in Jiuli Mountain, deterring Xiao Guan guards, Xu Huang, Yu Ban, and Le Jin The three generals led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to take the three cities, and secretly wrote Chen Deng, thinking that they would respond." The soldiers and horses will advance quickly on the same day, and rush to Xiaopei City within three days! β
In the west of Xiaopei City, Lu Bu's Tang Yi armor shone in the sun, and sat on a fiery red war horse, with a golden crown and a hundred flowers in his robe, which was very heroic, but seeing Lu Bu gently beating the horse to the city, and then looking up at the city, his eyes swept towards the city like cold lightning.
When Lu Bu's eyes met Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's eyes, the battle intent in the air suddenly became thicker, looking at Guan Zhang, who was not reckless at all, Lu Bu nodded, expressed his appreciation, and then said loudly: "Who is the boss of Cao Jun?" Come out and talk to me. "The voice is deep and penetrating.
Lu Bu! Cao Ang shook the three-pointed knife in his hand, then came to the head of the city, and said to Lu Bu below: "In Xia Cao Ang, I have heard the name of Wenhou for a long time, and I am fortunate to meet you today. β
"Cao Ang?" Lu Bu looked at Cao Ang in surprise, and then sneered: "It turned out to be Cao Cao's eldest son, how could Bu's subordinates be able to mobilize the champion Hou Xingshi and stay in the army?" β
Cao Ang said quietly: "General Gao Shun is in Juye, how dare Cao dare to slack off?" Therefore, please join the army, Wen Hou does not have to worry. "Up and down the city. None of the tens of thousands of soldiers of the two armies spoke out, but only listened to the sharp words of the commanders of the two sides, and exchanged questions and answers to each other.
I only heard Lu Bu say: "Gongzi Cao doesn't have to be polite, I am here for only three things, I am afraid it will cause you a lot of trouble." Cao Ang knew that at this time, it was a matter of morale, and he must not show weakness, so he immediately replied: "I don't know what three things Wen Hou said, please advise!" β
Lu Bu looked back at Wei Xu behind him and said, "Wei Xu, report the three requests of this general to the champion Hou." It's up to him to decide. Seeing Lu Bu coming out behind him, he responded respectfully: "No! Champion Hou, when my family Wen Hou came, he said, this first thing is to ask the champion Hou to bear the guilt of Jing and send it back to my family General Gao to come back, the second thing is to hand over Cao Cao's head and use it to ask Wen Hou to atone for the crime of unwarranted aggression, and the third thing is to report to the Son of Heaven and recommend my Wen Hou as a general and lead the world's military horses! β
The three demands can be described as unreasonable, the generals in the city changed color when they heard half of it, and suddenly heard the wolf riders behind Lu Bu laughing loudly, and for a time Lu Bu's army was arrogant and morale rose outstandingly.
After Wei Xu finished speaking, Lu Bu said leisurely: "I don't know what the champion Hou wants?" But seeing Cao Ang pondering for a moment, he said loudly: "Cao Ang originally wanted to send General Gao Shun back to Xuzhou, but General Gao deeply admired his father and wanted to see him in Xudu, and when Wenhou was invited into Xudu in the future, he might see General Gao again." β
I only heard Wei Xu say angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!" See you in all of them? Wouldn't that Wen Hou be finished! The generals in the city almost laughed out loud when they heard this, and said in their hearts that this Wei Xu is really a bastard, if he is not related to Lu Bu, how can he join the army as a general?
Cao Ang ignored Wei Xu and acquiesced: "As for my father's head, when Cao Ang saw him, he should report the matter to Wen Hou, as for whether my father promised to cut off his head and send it to Wen Hou, it is not up to Cao to decide." β
"As for the last thing, Wen Hou can't help but overestimate the Cao family, not to mention whether the Son of Heaven can agree, and whether Yuan Shao of Hebei can give up the official position of 'general' is also two words. Moreover, it is impossible for the Marquis of Lao Wen to go back to study for two years, and it is impossible to lead the world's soldiers and horses with the title of 'general'. β
"Mighty! Mighty! Mighty! The Cao army on the city tower all shouted loudly, but when they saw Lu Bu suddenly pull out the treasure carving bow behind him, put the bow on the arrow, stretched out his arms and shoulders, and then shot an arrow at Cao Ang on the city, like a meteor. Cao Ang subconsciously hurriedly raised the three-pointed knife in a gear, only to hear the sound of 'dang', a huge force was transmitted from the three-pointed knife to his arms, and Cao Ang's mouth was suddenly cracked, and blood slowly flowed down the three-pointed knife, Cao Ang gritted his teeth, and then tried to control his trembling hands, and sneered: "Wenhou bow technique, it's nothing more than that." β
Lu Bu's face was expressionless: "Wei Xu, you come to tell Champion Hou, what were our plans before we came here?" "No!" Wei Xu cleared his throat: "We said when we came, if the champion Hou can agree to Wen Hou's invitation, Wen Hou will shake hands with Hou Ye and immediately retire; If two things were agreed, Wen Hou had to ask the generals in the city for a few tricks, which could be regarded as an explanation to the soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou; If we only agree to one thing, then we will destroy Cao Jun and Liu Bei's soldiers, and then we will beat the horse and leave. β
Ignoring the angry look of the generals in the city, Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "Then now, Champion Hou has agreed to a few conditions for us?" Wei Xu shouted: "Report to Wen Hou!" Champion Hou, he really didn't give us face, and he didn't say anything! β
"Siege! Kill! Lu Bu's soldiers all shouted in unison: "Kill, kill, kill!" For a time, all the armies shouted in unison, and the sound moved for nine days, like a pack of wolves. Cao Ang looked at Lu Bujun, who seemed to have been stimulated, and glanced at Gan Ning, and saw Gan Ning and dozens of soldiers behind him shouting: "Lu Bu'er, arrogant!" Kill your father-in-law, ruthless! Known as a flying general, he is like a bird and an insect! Now we are fighting for your dog's life! β
Then he scolded: "Lu Bu'er, death is imminent!" Ruthless and unrighteous, the people's hearts are gone! Our army is mighty, who can take it! Spare your dog's life, get home! "This is Cao Ang's limerick last night, and he scolded the formation, and he also made four or six or eight sentences, Cao Ang didn't believe that he was proud of the world's first general, and after listening to this method of scolding the formation, he still didn't have a dog temper? The momentum of the city is stable, and now it depends on whether it can be defended.
Lu Bu's face was gloomy, and then he slowly raised the Fang Tian Painting Halberd that shocked the world: "Take this city." "But the anger is surging, and he doesn't arrange troops anymore, and attacks directly, don't look at Lu Bu's gloomy and airless appearance, but now it's actually a brain that only pounces on the sparks, but I'm afraid that once I enter the city, I will kick a few feet when I see a stone.
I saw that Lu Bu's army had begun to charge, and it was Li Dian who commanded the defense of the city tower, and there were already many rolling stone bow and arrow defenses in the city before. However, it seems that the retreat is a bit too fast.
"Strange?" Cao Hong was puzzled: "If it's a feint, shouldn't it be defeated so quickly?" Isn't this Lu Bu's way of marching? β
As he was talking, LΓΌ Bu's second attack began again, this time it was still a noisy advance, and the sound of killing was moving, but when Li Dian commanded to drop arrows and stones to retreat from the enemy, LΓΌ Bu's army was quickly repulsed again.
"I don't understand, could it be that Lu Bu is trying to attract the attention of our army and move our army's defense? That doesn't make sense, does it? Cao Hong asked Cao Ang for his opinion.
And Cao Ang is also strange, just because such an attack will not be useful at all, let alone cause any harm to Xiao Pei. Legend has it that Lu Bu is brave and unscrupulous, but he listens to him at the right time, especially those three conditions, which are really clever.
Between the doubts, Lu Bujun has attacked back and forth several times, each time it is a 'chicken rib' attack, slowly, I saw Sima Yi frown slightly, and stepped forward and said: "General, something is not right, didn't you originally say to Yi that there is a strategist in Lu Bu's army named Chen Gong, who is known for his resourcefulness?" β
Cao Ang turned his head when he heard this: "Zhongda, what do you think? Sima Yi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that the three conditions for the right talent are to confuse us and provoke us to defend the city with all our might, and the goal of Lu Bu's army is to consume the arrows and stones in our army's city!" We have fallen for such an attack.
