Chapter 360: The Ghost Has Appeared

Four hundred years ago, the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, and one of the most famous battles was the Battle of Chu.

In the battle to destroy Chu, Wang Qian, the general of the Qin army, led the team. The state of Chu faced the danger of losing the country, and naturally it would not be captured, the king of Chu had 400,000 art of war, with the famous general Xiang Yan as the general, and the Qin army fought to the death.

The Qin army came from afar, although it was like a bamboo all the way, but as soon as it reached the core area of Chu and clashed with Xiang Yan's army, it was not so easy, and the Qin army began to be blocked everywhere.

After a long time, Xiang Yan, the general of the Chu State, felt that the purpose of the Qin army's battle was not to destroy the Chu State, but to simply occupy some cities, so he didn't think about it so much, and directly returned to the court, but at the moment when all his troops turned around and retreated, the tiger and wolf division of the Qin army showed their bloodthirsty fangs, and at that moment they rushed out like a tide, and directly killed the army, throwing away their armor and leaving no armor.

Xiang Yan was defeated and committed suicide, and the last pillar of the Chu State disappeared in this way, and he went abroad and was destroyed by the Qin State.

I heard that it is far from that war now, and the scale of the battle is far less than the scale of that battle, but in the land of Xuzhou, the history of this piece is repeated.

When Lu Bu retreated with his soldiers and horses, Cao Cao's army poured out from Xiaopei, and Lu Bu, who was directly killed, was caught off guard, and Lu Bu, who was in a panic, couldn't care so much, so he could only run back to Xiapi with his soldiers and horses in a panic.

Cao Cao took this opportunity to continue to lead his troops forward, and finally killed all the way to the city of Xiapi.

Looking at the dense Wei army under the city tower, Lu Bu's heart was a little numb, once upon a time, he was also the first military general in the world, but unfortunately, time is a sword to kill, he Lu Bu is now nearly forty years old.

Not to mention the decline in physical fitness, even if it is a sense of battle, it is not as strong as before, so even if Lu Bu took people out to resist twice, he was defeated and returned.

Looking at Cao Jun under the city tower, Lu Bu had a feeling of despair, all these years of wind and frost and these years of tempering have made him understand many things, in the face of the hero Cao Cao, is he Lu Bu an opponent?

However, Cao Cao had already hit the door of Lu Bu's house, and Lu Bu must not just sit still, so he called Chen Gong Zhang Liao and other henchmen, please ask what they should do, and in the end Zhang Liao can only propose one way, that is, stick to the city and refuse to fight, Cao Cao will come from afar, and will naturally retreat because of the long time.

The strategy proposed by Zhang Liao is actually a common strategy used by soldiers, that is, to rely on the high walls of the city to constantly drag down the enemy army.

After hearing this, Lu Bu felt that this was a solution, so he didn't say anything, nodded vigorously, and was just about to give an order, but Chen Gong stood up and stopped Lu Bu.

"Lord, Cao Thief is treacherous, if he just uses the general place to retreat from the enemy, I am afraid it will not have much effect on him!"

Lu Bu originally thought that Chen Gong was too careful, but in the following days, Cao Jun's offensive became more and more fierce, which also made Lu Bu have some scalp tingling, and finally he accepted Chen Gong's suggestion, and within a few days, Cao Xing, who was far away in Luoyang, finally received a letter from Lu Bu asking for help.

Seeing this letter asking for help, Cao Xuan sat in his position and took a deep breath, he waited for the east and west, and finally waited for this thing.

The wheel of history did not stop, Cao Cao finally launched a general attack on Xiapi, according to the trajectory of history, how could Lu Bu be Cao Cao's opponent, and finally Lu Bu was defeated and killed, and Xuzhou also completely fell into the hands of Cao Cao, Yu Gong. Cao Xing could never just watch Cao Cao's power grow bigger and bigger, Yu Private, he Cao Xing and Lu Bu were friends, and he couldn't bear to watch Lu Bu die in Baimenlou like this.

So Cao Xing has been waiting for Lu Bu's letter, so that Cao Xingshi is famous.

Cao Xuan immediately found the generals to hold a meeting, and Xiang Fazheng Jia Xu and other advisers all agreed that it was indeed necessary to send troops to rescue Lu Bu, since everyone had no opinions, Cao Xuan immediately deployed, with Chen Hu as the vanguard, and sent 30,000 troops to attack Yanzhou. This time, he Cao Xing will use the strategy of attacking the east and the west, so that Cao Cao will be embarrassed, and Cao Cao will have to give up the attack on Lu Bu at that time.

And Cao Xing personally led an army of 20,000 to press the battle behind.

Cao Xing led the soldiers and horses to continue to march in the direction of Chaoge. As a result, just after reaching Cao Cao's territory, there was a problem with the army in front.

"Report! The cavalry team I sent to survey the enemy's situation at the forefront suffered heavy casualties in the course of patrolling, less than one in ten! ”

"Report! Someone went around to the rear of our army and set fire to the granaries of our army! ”

"Report! General Chen Hu inspected the barracks, but two soldiers suddenly rose up next to him and almost assassinated him! ”

……

Listening to Jin Yiwei's information one after another, Cao Xing's face was also extremely gloomy. What is this, is this considered a disadvantage?

Chen Hu's troops were so badly damaged before they reached the territory of Chaoge, what was the reason for this?

Cao Xuan directly called the two generals of the vanguard team, Chen Hu and Wei Yan, who knew that as soon as the two of them saw Cao Xing, they were also full of emotion in their hearts, for no other reason, this time they were plotted, and both of them were confused.

In the end, it was the appearance of Che Wu that solved Cao Xing's doubts, and a bamboo slip was handed over to Cao Xing's hand, Cao Xing looked at the content on the bamboo slip, and couldn't help but squint his eyes, to be precise, the bamboo slip described is a painting, this painting is relatively simple, easy to understand.

The general meaning of the back is that the fire in the place where the granary is piled up in the barracks is raging, and two figures secretly leave the station, although the faces of the two people are depicted, but the appearance and characteristics of the two people do seem a little strange.

There was no other outfit, and all that remained on their faces were two blue-faced fangs, which looked like ghosts from a distance.

Cao Xing couldn't help but put down the book and asked directly to Che Wu: "What is the origin of these two people!" ”

Che Wu's face was a little embarrassed, but in the end he still said to Cao Xing: "Lord, my people follow this person, it's not a matter of a day or two, according to our investigation, these two people are from the Wei State, they belong to the intelligence organization like us, as for the name of their organization is called the ghost pawn, we have also found out who is leading this ghost pawn army, and it is also a young man named ......."

"Guo Jia!" Before Che Wu finished speaking, Cao Xuan blurted out directly, this Che Wu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Cao Xuan incredulously, as if he didn't know how Cao Xuan thought of it.

However, Cao Xuan didn't care about Che Wu's different eyes, he just stood up and paced back and forth.

In this era, it takes a very good means to play this kind of thing, after all, this thing tends to be something in later generations, and ordinary people can't play it, for example, Xu You, although the number of appearances of Xu You in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not very much, even if he appears, he is the kind that defects to the enemy, but Xu You in history is still a very courageous person, so he can complete it independently under the guidance of a master and set up an intelligence force.

But as far as Cao Xing knows, in Cao Cao's camp, there doesn't seem to be this type of talent, no one can do this, plus the name of the ghost pawn, there is some reason, but if you think about it carefully, it is not groundless.

Only the ghosts of the Three Kingdoms period can lead, so Cao Xing thought of Guo Jia as soon as he came.

Originally, Cao Cao's first strategist Xi Zhicai died of illness a few days ago, and Cao Xing thought that Cao Cao would lose a lot of help, but he never expected that before Xi Zhicai died, he finally recommended Guo Jia to Cao Cao.

In history, it is said that Guo Jia and Cao Cao are also like-minded, the two are both monarchs and friends, Cao Cao trusts Guo Jia very much, so he gave Guo Jia a lot of power, Guo Jia came to Cao Cao's army, it is said that Guo Jia went directly to see Cao Cao as soon as he came, originally Cao Cao because of the death of Xi Zhicai and Xu Chu, he was not much interested in everything, but when he talked with Guo Jia, he directly shook his hand and said excitedly: "This person will definitely help me achieve a hegemony!" ”

After Guo Jia walked out of the military battle, he also clenched his fists excitedly and said: "This is the master I am looking for!" ”

It can be seen that the relationship between the two can be described as quite good.

However, Guo Jia also knew that although Cao Cao took a fancy to his talent, others did not think so, before he came, Cao Cao's subordinates were already fierce generals like tigers and ministers like clouds. In terms of qualifications, in terms of ranking, Guo Jia can't live up to Cao Cao's trust in him, so he gives Cao Cao advice as soon as he comes.

He directly explained to Cao Cao a very acute problem, that is, there is a flaw in Cao Cao's troops, for example, Zhao and Qin have intelligence organizations, intelligence organizations, which play a very key role in the war of this era, and sometimes first-hand intelligence can often hit the opponent by surprise and win the first opportunity in the war.

Cao Cao nodded approvingly after listening to it, and waved his hand to let Guo Jia do it, although Guo Jia did not have the experience of Cao Xing's later generations, and did not get the guidance of a master like Xu You, but before this era, it was not that there was no intelligence organization, such as the Heishuitai of Qin.

In this way, Guo Jia has been studying every day how to establish his own intelligence organization, and his intelligence organization came out in this way, named Ghost Pawn, this is the whole origin.

Although Cao Xuan also knew that this Guo Jia was very powerful and not easy to provoke, but he was now in front of Cao Xing, making it impossible for Cao Xing to rescue Lu Bu, this is a very critical issue, no matter how powerful this Guo Jia is, he must rush over, so he asked Chen Hu to withdraw, and the battle on the front line was under the full command of him Cao Xing, he didn't believe it, he had a whole army of tens of thousands, and there was no way to take a small Guo Jia.

In this way, Cao Xing let the army stay in place, and then began to compete with Guo Jia, a month passed in a blink of an eye, in this month's time, Cao Xing had used Jinyi Wei to deal with Guo Jia, but the final result was that Cao Xing's military camp was damaged again and again, and the soldiers were assassinated inexplicably, and some food was burned unconsciously.

There are even more ghostly people, when the moon is dark and the wind is high, they sneaked into Cao Xing's military camp and burned the military camp, and Cao Xuan was almost not swallowed up by the fire.

Because of the repeated damage, Cao Xing's side began to become short of funds, and the supply was insufficient, so he had to bring food from the Si Li generation.

However, because every time the grain is transported, the ghost pawns always have to be interspersed in it to stir up the situation, which also makes Cao Xing have a headache, and this time Cao Cao personally transports the volume, although Cao Xing's transportation volume has been opposed by many people, Xiang Fazheng and others, they are all opposed, but it is useless, Cao Xing's mind has been decided, and there is no way for anyone to oppose it.

Cao Xing's 3,000 men and horses were driving slowly on the road, because the road they were walking on was not the road built by Cao Xing, and potholes were inevitable.

Cao Xing was walking on the road with people, but at this moment, the vanguard in front of him let out a loud shout, Cao Xing looked intently, and found that there were no people. Just because in the grass in front of them, a large pit with a diameter of up to fifty meters has been exposed, and countless soldiers have planted it.

Before Cao Xing and the others could react to what was going on, countless stumbling ropes suddenly appeared from the depths of the ground, they were at both ends, specifically tripping over those passing horses, and the legs of countless sergeants were directly handled by this kind of tripping rope, and even there were sharp gears on the tripping ropes, which directly cut batch after batch of horses.

Countless horses neighed and fell to the ground screaming, followed by countless arrows flying out of the dense forest. The soldiers beside Cao Xing fell to the ground one after another.

Seeing that Cao Xing's side suffered serious losses, countless shouts of killing sounded directly in the dense forest, and countless black-clothed people rushed out directly from inside, wearing masks with green faces and fangs, and holding sharp steel knives. Directly at Cao Xing's group of soldiers, he slashed indiscriminately.

Cao Xing's soldiers, after a short period of panic, couldn't even react to what was going on, and many of them fell to the ground one after another.

Cao Xuan wanted to take off the broad-headed knife on his back, but at this moment it seemed to be too late, and it had already flashed out from around him, seven or eight men in black, and those seven or eight men in black were all well-trained ghost pawns.

Like the action of killing Cao Xing, they may have been planning for a long time and trained countless times, so the eight people directly surrounded the circle, and then under the leader's burst, the eight people killed Cao Xing together, Cao Xing could not dodge and could not avoid, and even because the length of the broad-headed knife was too long, it could not be pulled out, so the knife was directly inserted into Cao Xing's abdomen, and Cao Cao's lower abdomen suddenly bled like an infusion.

However, just when these assassins had just succeeded, countless soldiers suddenly came out of the dense forests on both sides, and those ghost soldiers saw that they were not doing well and quickly retreated.
