Chapter 216: The First Battle
Yizhou, below
Cao Hong led the army here and asked about Cao Xiu, who came first.
Cao Xiu said: "I have found out the situation here, although I marched!" ”
Cao Hong was a little hard to believe this young man, although the military advisor was extremely respectful, but after all, he was young, and it was better for him to be careful.
"Stationed here first, I'm sure I'm right, and then I'm marching." Cao Hongdao.
However, it was said that Ma Chao asked Ma Dai to spread rumors everywhere, and Liu Jun wanted to cut off the back road of Cao Jun's support, so that they could not retreat. This rumor quickly spread throughout the Lower Domain, and everyone knew about it.
"Report! Liu Jun set up a formation, as if he was planning to attack! The spies reported back to Cao Hong.
Cao Hong was worried when he heard this, wandering left and right, if the army went deep and the back road was cut off, what should he do? Cao Hong did not dare to march and stopped here.
Cao Xiu admonished: "Liu Jun bluffs! They have limited troops and horses here, and they are only doing this deliberately, if they really intend to cut off the rear route of our army, they should sneak forward, how can they be so fanfare? Our army can march as far as possible, and Zidan and I will lead the tiger and leopard to ride out, and we will definitely be able to defeat Ma Chao! ”
Cao Hong is very reasonable when he hears this, is it really true?
At this time, Guo Huai came in from outside the account and shouted: "General, I know the situation here, the enemy army is bluffing, you can march as much as you want!" ”
Cao Hong was surprised, this kid also said the same, these three people are really the same kind of people.
Cao Xiu looked at Guo Huai, "Who is this general?" ”
Cao Hong said: "This person is the thief Cao of Pi Gongzi, the recommended new general." ”
Cao Xiu thought thoughtfully, "Oh, that's it. ”
Cao Zhen pleaded: "Uncle Hong! Please give it an order! ”
"Just do as you say, and be careful!" Cao Hong said.
This place is Wulan Military Village
"The general wants to cut off the back road of Cao's army, and it is said that he has already set up a position. What are we doing here? Not yet in battle! Tooth general Ren Kui said.
Wu Lan received a letter from Ma Chao before, and the letter did not say that she wanted to cut off the back road, but what was it about delaying time, could it be a temporary change, or what?
Ren Kuiyan: "Let me lead an army to help and cut off its back road!" ”
Wu Lan Tongzhi: "Okay, you can be careful!" ”
Ren Kui received the order and led the army to the back road of the Cao army, but was found by the Cao army, Cao Hong led the men and horses to deal with it, Ren Kui had no Ma Chao to cut off the army of the back road along the way, and felt strange, and met Cao Hong at this time.
Cao Hong shouted, raised his knife and rushed to kill, Ren Kui suddenly raised his gun, stabbed it, stabbed twice, Cao Hong dodged lightly, stabbed with a backhand, and slashed under the horse.
Wu Lan thought that Ma Chao really wanted to cut off the back road of Cao's army, and the enemy army would definitely go to meet the battle, so the camp here relaxed its vigilance.
"Kill!" Wu Lan was shocked by the shouts from outside the village, "What's wrong?" The soldier returned, "General, the Cao army is attacking the village!" ”
Wu Lan responded in a hurry, but this attack was led by Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, and the soldiers were not fully guarded, and they were broken in an instant.
Seeing that the soldiers were vulnerable and completely dispersed, Wu Lan immediately rode his horse and fled through the back door, looking for Ma Chaozhai.
When Ma Chao saw Wu Lan back, he knew that something big was wrong. "What's going on?"
Wu Lan thought that it was not good for her to be careless in defending the village, but she couldn't say that, so she said: "Ren Kui didn't listen to me and led his troops out to fight the enemy, so that's it!" ”
Although Ma Chao was angry, he couldn't, and now he can only stick to the camp and wait for the rear army to arrive.
Wu Lanjun was annihilated, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen returned to the camp, Cao Hong was overjoyed, thinking that he was the commander and he must have a great credit, so he set up a banquet, played songs and dances, and rewarded the army.
At the banquet, Cao Xiu still looked melancholy, thinking about the battle ahead.
Guo Huai asked Cao Zhen, "Is he all like this?" ”
Cao Zhenyan: "As soon as Wen Lie arrives on the battlefield, this is the case, as long as the war is not over, he will never laugh." ”
Cao Xiu suddenly got up and said to Cao Hong: "Please also immediately raise troops to reinforce Hanzhong, you can't stay here for a long time." ”
Cao Hongzheng was overjoyed, and suddenly said such a word, and said: "Don't worry, now Ma Chao is not moving, I am afraid that there is another way, and when I know that there is no danger, I will start the army." Don't be impatient on the march, for you young people have a lot to learn. ”
Cao Xiu's eyes were gloomy, glaring at each other, and then leaving.
Cao Ang's army is coming to Hanzhong
"Strategist, look." After reading Cao Xiu's letter, Cao Ang handed it to Pang Tong.
Pang Tong looked at it and sneered, "General Cao Hong, it's difficult to take on a heavy responsibility." ”
Cao Angyan said: "When Uncle Hong was here, he was loyal, gathered soldiers and horses for his father, and saved his father's life. But his father has never given him a heavy responsibility, but now it seems that it has a deep meaning. ”
Pang Tong said: "Where is Kong Ming thinking? He knew that Cao Hong was not the material of the coach, and Huarong let him go with all his heart. But Cao Hong's identity in Cao Jun must be a heavy responsibility, a good flaw, and it is impossible to prevent it. Lord, what do you plan to do? ”
Cao Ang said helplessly: "When I go back to this battle, I will let Uncle Hong be in charge of internal affairs." ”
Hanzhong County, Nanzheng
"Uncle Yuan! I'm back here with a reinforcement army! Cao Zhen said.
Xiahou Yuan asked, "What about Cao Hong?" When will it arrive? ”
Cao Zhen thought about it, let's tell the truth, "Uncle Hong is defending Ma Chao under the defense, and he is afraid that if the whole army comes here, Ma Chao will attack from the back road later, so let me lead half of the reinforcements here first to ensure what is needed, and then if there is nothing to do at all, then go again." ”
Zhang He on the side listened to the words and said: "And don't be too careful, what army can you have in that place?" ”
Xiahou Yuan said: "Zilian is rare to be the commander this time, so he must be cautious. Don't dare to have accidents, I should understand. "Now that reinforcements have arrived, we can attack Ba County."
Zhang He came out of the ranks, "I am willing to lead the army to fetch it!" I hope the general will follow it. ”
Xiahou Yuan saw that he was so positive and quite imposing, "Okay! However, it is not trivial to go here, and if there is a loss, it will affect the course of our army. ”
Zhang Heyan: "Willing to accept military orders!" ”
Zhang He led 30,000 troops, divided into three villages, surrounded by mountains and dangers, one ditch village, and one covered head village. A rock-swinging village. Zhang He was in the three villages, and each divided half of the army to take Brazil, leaving half of the village to defend the village.
Ba County, Brazil
Shi Yue had ordered all the way from the land of Fuling to here, and Wei Yan had to order 50,000 troops to be here to wait for the command to fight.
"Wen Chang, you're here." Shi Yue waited for a long time, and the Nanjiang side was really as expected, it had been broken, and he had to wait for Chengdu soldiers and horses here. If the Cao army attacks, and no one comes, he will hold for a few days at most, and then run away.
The two were meeting each other, and when they were discussing matters here, they visited the Malay newspaper.
"Report! Cao Jun is in the village according to the mountain, and the soldiers and horses are coming here! Tan Ma Hui reported.
Wei Yan asked, "Who will come?" ”
"Cao Jun Zhang He." The spy responded.
Wei Yan looked at Shi Yue, "This person, Brother Pan, is the most familiar." ”
"yes." Shi Yue knew that it was him, he was tired, and he was most afraid of fighting with such a person. "Zhang He is extraordinary in civil and military affairs, and he is the general of the world. I met in Jizhou, and later I persuaded him to surrender to Cao's army, and now we have to fight again. ”
Wei Yan was a little interested when he heard this, "Brother Pan has a high opinion of this. ”
"Wen Chang seems to be interested, so this person is handed over to Wen Chang, dare to accept it." Shi Yue instigated. Give Lao Tzu a fight!
Wei Yan said casually: "Then I'll go to the meeting." ”
