Chapter 1304: Cao Cao provokes Sun Quan

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. If Wei Kou uses a ladder to attack the city, we can quickly prepare fish oil and saltpeter to ignite the fire, and when Wei Kou's ladder approaches, set fire to it, Wei Kou will definitely be defeated!! ”

When Sun Quan heard this, his face immediately turned happy, and he covered his palms and praised him. At this time, Gu Yong frowned.

"But the old thief Cao has always been familiar with the art of war, don't you know that you can attack the city with a ladder and take the first fire prevention plan!? I'm afraid that the old thief has a conspiracy in secret!! Don't be careful!! ”

As soon as Gu Yong's words fell, the hall suddenly became silent. Sun Quan's brows furrowed more and more, and then he looked at Lu Su, who had been silent, and asked in a condensed voice.

"In the opinion of the Grand Governor, what should I do?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly. Our generals and ministers and strategists, work together, perform their duties, adapt to changes, and rely on the dangers of Nanchang to be solid, and they are not afraid of Wei Kou!! ”

Lu Su's face was solemn, and the words were solemn, Sun Quan listened to it, his heart was strong, and his blue eyes shot violently

G light, a beat of the case, the head of the jaw answered.

"What the Governor said was true. Although Wei Kou's soldiers are strong, if we and other heroes of Eastern Wu can unite as one and fight to the death, what is Wei Kou's fear!? ”

After Sun Quan's words, Lu Meng, Lu Su, Ding Feng, Zhu Ran, Quan Cong and other soldiers, as well as Gu Yong, Bu Qi and other strategists attended one after another, knelt down together, and shouted in unison.

"The ministers will use their death force to drive Wei Kou back!!"

One night passed, and the next day the sun rose. With the sound of drums in Dazhai of the Wei army, the three links were fired in succession, and the armies moved, and nearly 160,000 troops went to Nanchang City all over the mountains. The sound of shouting and killing shook the heavens and the earth. The Wu soldiers on the north gate of Nanchang City, only to see that in the mountains and forests in front of them, the flags are all over the sky, the swords and guns cover the sun, and the crowds are surging, all of them are Wei soldiers and horses, and their troops have not arrived, and the majestic military might has frightened a group of Wu soldiers on the north gate city to the point that their faces have changed drastically, and their hearts are frightened. Zhu Ran, the guard of the North Gate, saw that the Wei army was gathering troops to kill at the North Gate, and hurriedly reported to Sun Quan. When Sun Quan arrived, he saw the Wei soldiers under the city seven or eight miles away, arranged in formation, each according to the team, each divided into four parts. I saw that the red army of the front army was led by Zhang Jaw, and the left and right wings were blue and soap, the blue army was led by Xiahou Yuan, and the soap army was led by Jiang Wei. Cao Cao led the black army by himself and lived in the rear. There were 40,000 soldiers and horses in each department, and they moved according to the order of the drum, and each set up a position. Let's say that Jiang Wei is young, and he has not been in the office for a long time, but he has repeatedly attacked together, and when he first came to the army, he offered a plan, and saw through Lu Xun's plan to rob Jutieshan, and later offered a plan to Dian Wei, and successfully intercepted and killed Gan Ning. Not long ago, he was meritorious in escorting, and was promised a heavy position by Cao Cao, and now he can unify the army by himself. It can be seen how much Cao Cao attaches importance to Jiang Wei. Of course, Jiang Wei is extraordinary, and more importantly, he is Guo Jia's apprentice. Cao Cao knows Guo Jia's way of knowing people, if Jiang Wei is a young and unscrupulous rat, or a person with bad intentions, Guo Jia will never accept him as an apprentice. Moreover, Guo Jia also once said to Cao Cao that Jiang Wei was loyal and martyrful, affectionate and righteous, and he would be repaid by the grace of dripping water. At the time of parting, Guo Jia had something to say, implying that if he died, Jiang Wei's talent would be enough to assist him in Cao Cao's way. The relationship between Cao Cao and Guo Jia is extraordinary, so naturally keep it in mind, and sometimes see Jiang Wei as Guo Jia's shadow, of course, these are all off-topic.

Back to business. At present, I saw 160,000 Wei troops, each according to the team, setting up a formation, beating drums and three links, and suddenly the shouting of killing shook impressively, and the soldiers of each department raised their weapons. Cao manipulated the horse and galloped, from the rear army to the front army under the banner, shouted loudly, and taught Sun Quan to come out to answer. Sun Quan heard it in the city, his face was cold, he snorted coldly, and then went down to the city with Lu Meng, Ding Feng and hundreds of cavalry, rushed out of the city gate, the two armies were far away, and there was a deep ditch for the cover, Sun Quan was not afraid of Cao Cao to order his soldiers and horses to attack suddenly.

Cao Cao saw Sun Quan riding out of the city, his face was shocked, and he rode a few feet and shouted.

"Blue-eyed, you're exhausted, why don't you surrender to me. As long as you worship in the dark of Dongwu, I can return your situation, and you can still be orphaned in Dongwu and save your father and brother's inheritance!! ”

When Sun Quan heard this, his face froze, and a strange light appeared in his eyes. At this time, Lu Meng, who was on the side, hurriedly persuaded him.

"The king must not fall for the tricks of the old thief. If the king descends to Wei, we and other ministers can keep their wealth and wealth, but the king will suffer his humiliation!! ”

When Sun Quan heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, and he asked in a cold voice.

"Ziming, how can you say that?!"

Lu Meng's face was pale, his eyes shimmered, and he said in a condensed voice.

"If Meng and others surrendered to Cao Wei, when Meng and others returned to the township party, secretly monitored, and taught his ministers to hand over Dongwu Prefecture one by one. Over time, the ministers of Eastern Wu will surrender to Cao Cao. And the king descended to Cao Cao, a great disappointment, although he survived, but the car is only a ride, can not ride a horse, never more than a few people, even if he can be called lonely in the south, what is the use!? ”

Lu Meng drank it, and Sun Quan suddenly woke up, his face was full of anger, and he shouted angrily.

"Cao Lao Thief!! Don't talk nonsense, the lonely situation is different from you!! ”

Sun Quan's voice was like a bell, shaking all directions. When the soldiers of the Wu army in the city heard this, they were all shocked. Cao Cao, who was on the other side, heard this, but his face turned cold instantly, but he quickly returned to normal and shouted in a condensed voice.

"Blue-eyed, your father and brother Sun Wentai and Sun Bofu are all heroes in the world. The two of them started a business with great hardship, and only then did they get the prosperity of Soochow. Now you are unable to protect your foundation, but you have taught Dongwu Juncai to work innocently for you, so that Dongwu's lives are ruined, how can you bear it!! How can he have face to see your father and brother under the nine springs of the day!? ”

When Sun Quan heard this, he shot wildly and screamed, and he wanted to order his soldiers and horses to take Cao Cao. Seeing this, Lu Meng was afraid that Sun Quan would be tricked, so he hurriedly persuaded again.

"The king is angry!! Cao Lao thief is superb, and he is the best at using this radical method, and he must not be fooled!! ”

Sun Quan was so angry that he gritted his teeth and rushed to the crown in anger, but he knew that Lu Meng was right, and he couldn't bear his anger and roared.

"Old thief!! You raise an unrighteous soldier and commit a lonely Dongwu, how can you be humiliated by Lonely! The talents of Dongwu are all loyal and righteous people, how can they be your minions!! ”

"I'll wait for Wei Kou to fight to the end, and I won't die!!"

As soon as Sun Quan's voice fell, Lu Meng raised his weapon and shouted, and the soldiers beside him also shouted together, and soon all the generals and soldiers in the city also raised their weapons angrily and shouted one after another.

"I'll wait for Wei Kou to fight to the end, and I won't die!!"

"I'll wait for Wei Kou to fight to the end, and I won't die!!"

Suddenly, Wu Bing's waves of sound shook the sky, as if the entire Nanchang City was shaking. Cao Cao's face became colder the more he listened, and he snorted coldly.

"Stubbornness, self-destruction! Death is too good for him!! ”

After Cao Cao finished drinking, he turned his horse and retreated to the rear army. After a while, in the Wei army's formation, the sound of drums everywhere shook impressively, and 160,000 Wei soldiers shouted in unison. Cao Cao took out the sword of Yitian and let go of the military order. The Red Army of the front army, following the order, opened its jaw and drank angrily, and led the troops to rush up. When Sun Quan saw that the Wei soldiers had moved in the city, his face suddenly froze, his eyes widened, and he shouted loudly to order the soldiers to be ready. Zhang Jaw led the army to rush forward, crossed a deep ditch, avoided the earthen ramparts, and the Wei soldiers rushed up. Seeing that the Zhangjaw army was about to approach, Sun Quan gave an order, and the crossbowmen in the city immediately pulled their bows and strings, and the rain of arrows rained down overwhelmingly. Zhang Jaw shouted angrily, and hurriedly taught the sword and shield hand to build a shield wall to resist, and countless arrows hit one shield wall after another, causing a loud noise. Cao Cao looked at it coldly, and then ordered again, and the sound of drums suddenly changed, and Jiang Wei and Xiahou Yuan's two armies suddenly rushed up, transporting soil and filling the trench with all their might. The soldiers and horses in front of the jaw are covered by a shield wall. Sun Quan saw it in the city, his face changed, and he asked Lu Su beside him anxiously.

"Wei Kou fills the trench and wants to attack the city with weapons, how can this be good!?"

When Lu Su heard this, his expression was solemn, he squinted at it, and replied quickly.

"Although Wei Kou had a large number of soldiers, it would take a lot of time to fill all the trenches outside the city. When our army waits for work in the city, when Wei Kou is exhausted, he will come out with all his strength, and he will be able to kill Wei Kou without leaving a piece of armor!! ”

When Sun Quan heard this, his face was immediately overjoyed, and he secretly said that it was wonderful, and his heart was certain, so he gave orders to the generals behind him and taught them to prepare. LΓΌ Meng, Ding Feng and other generals were ordered to go their separate ways. As a result, 160,000 Wei soldiers and tens of thousands of Wu soldiers held each other at the north gate of Nanchang until noon, with the combined strength of nearly 80,000 soldiers, one-third of the trench outside the city was filled. Cao Cao saw that there was no movement in the city, but he just taught the archers to shoot arrows indiscriminately, and sneered in his heart, but he knew that the Wu people were waiting for work. At this time, a general suddenly came, and Cao Cao fixed his eyes to see that it was Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei solemnly persuaded Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty, the Wu soldiers in the city have not moved except for the crossbowmen who resisted the attack. There must be deception in this. The three armies of our army have been dispatched, and each has its own energy. If the Wu thief waits for work in the city, and waits for our army to be exhausted and comes out in full force, how is it good!? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed and said to Jiang Wei.

"Boyo don't have to worry about it. I had already calculated that you could quickly teach the trench-filling soldiers to slow down and retain their strength, but they would listen to the order and withdraw immediately. I also passed on my order and taught Zhang Junyi to prepare secretly and act when the opportunity arises!! I have my own plan to deal with it!! ”

When Jiang Wei heard this, his heart was shocked, and he suddenly remembered in his mind that Guo Jia had said that Cao Cao was an immortal hero, and his strategy was very high, which was very expected. Jiang Wei only knew at this time that what his master said was true, and he was even more obedient to Cao Cao, so he gave up his hand to receive the order, and quickly rode away, according to Cao Cao's orders, and secretly ordered.

Gradually, as time went by, the sun set in the west, and it was already dusk. The sky was orange and yellow, with a bit of demon red. Under Cao Cao's orders, Jiang Wei and Xiahou Yuan's armies had slowed down the momentum of filling the ditch, and the Red Army led by Zhang Jaw in front of them had also withdrawn, and most of the arrows in the city were out of reach. Suddenly, the sound of the Wei army's drums changed again, and Jiang Wei, Xiahou Yuanqing, and soap slowly retreated. And the Red Army led by Zhang Jaw also retreated farther and farther.

Lu Su, who was commanding the soldiers and horses to fight, was overjoyed when he saw this, and saw at a glance that the Wei army was about to withdraw, so he hurriedly sent a general to report.

However, it was said that Sun Quan was waiting in the enemy tower in the city, and suddenly heard the soldiers coming to report that the Wei army was suspected of withdrawing, and he was suddenly overjoyed and anxious. Sure enough, the three-color Wei Kou under the city slowly retreated, and the black rear army led by Cao Cao also had the tendency to retreat. Sun Quan's blue eyes shot Ji in a row

G-ray, laughed loudly.

"Hahahaha, the old thief has no plan, this time I will teach you these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, blood is flowing like a river, and the defeat is like a mountain!!"

Sun Quan finished laughing and was about to give an order. At this moment, Lu Xun's face suddenly changed, and he said quickly.

"Slow down! I look at Wei Kou, the two armies that filled the soil, and since noon, there has been a tendency to slow down. If the old thief had already calculated, what could he do!? The king needs to be cautious!! ”

As soon as Lu Xun said this, Sun Quan frowned, but his face showed displeasure. Lu Xun repeatedly miscalculated before, so that his army suffered heavy losses, and even lost two generals, Gan Ning and Ling Tong, so that hundreds of thousands of Wei Kou were able to cross the Yangtze River. Although Sun Quan did not blame Lu Xun in the Ming Dynasty, he had early disgust in his heart, if it weren't for Lu Xun's repeated miraculous achievements in the past, and it was the time to employ people, maybe Sun Quan would have beheaded Lu Xun a long time ago to vent his hatred!

As soon as the thought passed, Sun Quan's face was cold, he turned to look at Lu Xun, and shouted coldly.

"Now that the war is tight, and Eastern Wu is in danger, now is a good time to hit Wei Kou hard, how can it be delayed!? If Bo Yan is timid, he can wait for good news in the city!! ”
