Chapter 182: Cao Cao's Anger
Meng Shu ran over and said to Cao Cao: "General Cao, my brother-in-law Zhu Rongye is good at driving poisonous snakes, he has taken leaves and is playing, can you succeed in trying?" β
Cao Cao said: "Zhu Rongye still has this ability? Not bad, Meng Huo, tell your brother-in-law that if he succeeds, he will take credit for him. γβ‘New Ξ© Pen, Fun Ξ Pavilion." β
Meng Shu said, "I'll go and tell him." β
Cao Cao looked at the damp camp, under the firelight, leeches and unknown things wriggled on the ground, his heart was disgusted, he stomped his feet, found a relatively clean place to stand, and prayed in his heart, I wish Rongye, you must not let me down.
Zhu Rongye has been dealing with snakes since he was a child, and he is extremely familiar with the habits of snakes, but he is just a poisonous snake driven by others, and he is used to listening to the other party's flute, and he is really not sure at all. Zhu Rongye listened carefully to the other party's rhythm, and then tentatively played it himself. The plagiarism people are hidden in the dark night, urging the poisonous snake to attack forward, the male yellow is the natural nemesis of the snakes, the snakes are at the edge of the camp, squeezed together layer by layer, dare not cross, urge tightly, the poisonous snake in front is fierce, and the poisonous snake in the back begins to bite.
Zhu Rongye's blowing disrupted the rhythm of the other party, the snakes began to be confused, raised their heads in the moonlight, the bifurcated letter hissed, and the soldiers on the wall couldn't help but be dizzy, they couldn't stand such a scene, and many people had already squatted down and began to vomit.
Seeing this, Zhu Rongye attracted dozens of people from the same village, and everyone was a leaf, Zhu Rongye demonstrated the rhythm, and everyone sang together.
The snakes did not know what to do, and they looked around, and their necks turned around, and they were not afraid of twisting. After all, Zhu Rongye and they were on the edge of the snake group, and they were relatively close, and the plagiarists did not dare to approach because of the threat of bows and arrows on the wall. The snakes seemed to be unable to stand the oppression of Zhu Rongye's group, coupled with the stimulation of the smell of realgar, they turned around and rushed towards the woods behind, and in an instant, they walked cleanly, and on the ground around the camp, the tongue of the poisonous snake was full, and under the moonlight, it was bright and shining.
The snakes retreated, Zhu Rongye breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat, and said to his subordinates: "Brothers, we have succeeded. β
For a while, the camp was full of joy. Not far away, I suddenly remembered countless screams, and the soldiers were stunned, and they instantly understood, and the sound of cheers was higher and higher.
Cao Cao saw that the sky was faint and none of the people in the joint camp could rest, so he ordered the camp to be cleaned up and the army to rest.
When Shu Yituo got the news and knew that he had returned in vain, he couldn't help but scold, and the presidents of the eighteen subordinate countries lowered their eyebrows one by one, and did not dare to make a sound. Although Shu Yituo's scolding cannot be compared with our scolding culture in Greater China, it is also tricky and mean, and he is extremely ridiculous.
After Shu Yituo finished scolding, he felt more comfortable, and asked loudly: "How many people broke that night?" β
Chinaka said cautiously: "Eighteen vassal countries, each with one or two thousand hands. The exact number has not yet been specified. β
Shu Yituo was furious, pointed at Chinaka and said, "What did you do as Doctor Zuo?" It's been two days, and you can't even count the tiny numbers? I think you'd better give up the position of Doctor Zuo. Right Doctor, from now on, you are Doctor Left, Chinaka, you better go back to your cottage and be a big governor. β
Shu Yituo took down the Chinaka on the spot and shocked the eighteen great governors, "You will send all the elites of the clan to me, and I will fight to the death with the Han army." β
On the third day, Cao Cao fed the soldiers and raised the camp, and the army slowly marched towards the humble.
Meng Jie said worriedly: "General Cao, the realgar and lime have been exhausted, why don't you wait for the supplies to arrive in the rear before setting off?" β
Cao Cao said with a smile: "After this battle, how dare you drive poison again?" I let all the soldiers drink realgar wine, and they should not be afraid of poisonous snakes, and the rest of the poisons, as long as they are attentive, it is not difficult to dodge. The herd should all be scattered in one night, and it should take a lot of effort for the people to gather again. Soldiers and gods, conquer the humble, take the king of plagiarism, and the plagiarism of the country will be over. β
Meng Jie said: "The generals are unpredictable. β
Shu Yituo heard the spies report that the Han army was less than thirty miles away from the capital, so he hurriedly sent people to urge his subordinate ** team to gather quickly, and he led the men and horses in the city to line up outside the city.
When Cao Cao looked, he saw Shu Yituo with a dark face, a scruffy beard, not tall, riding on a short horse, holding two kitchen knife-like knives in his hands, waving back and forth in front of the formation, he couldn't help but smile, and said to Zhang Wei: "Sweep this person off the horse and go back." β
Zhang Wei received the order, suddenly the horse came to fight, Shu Yituo rose bravely, the two kitchen knives waved impermeable, Zhang Wei pulled the war horse, jumped to the side, a round of spear, and smashed towards Shu Yituo's back, Shu Yituo heard the wind, and hurriedly lay on the saddle. Seeing that he couldn't make a contribution, Zhang Wei stabbed Shu Yituo continuously after shot, Shu Yituo's knife face was wide, only a chaotic sound was heard, and Zhang Wei's spear was stabbed on the knife surface. Shu Yituo said secretly: Han Jiang is nothing more than that. Seeing that Zhang Wei's marksmanship was loose, he urged the war horse to approach Zhang Wei, and the big knife slashed towards Zhang Wei's chest from the bottom up. Zhang Wei sneered, lifted the reins of the horse, and the war horse rose into the air and jumped over the top of Shu Yituo's head.
Zhang Wei used enough strength this time, Shu Yituo screamed, opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of blood, and fell to the ground.
Zhang Wei beat his horse and returned to his own position, and the plagiarism soldiers rushed out and rescued Shu Yituo.
Wang Ping said: "Why didn't Cao Gong take the opportunity to attack? β
Cao Cao said: "I heard that there are 200,000 people in the country, and there are only 50,000 people on the other side, which is not worth my army." Collect troops and set up camp. β
Shu Yituo was stabbed by Zhang Wei for a long time, returned to the city, and sent people to urge the soldiers and horses of the subject country, and in the evening of this day, the people and horses of the subject country continued to come to Qi, about 200,000.
Cao Cao asked the scout: "Is there really 200,000 soldiers and horses in the country?" β
The scout said, "Yes, General, our brother can see clearly that about 150,000 people from the country are camping outside the city. β
Cao Cao said: "You work hard again to find out the scale of the enemy's camp and the offensive and defensive facilities. β
The scout answered.
Cao Cao said to Cao Zhang: "When the scouts come back, immediately give me the drums to gather the generals." β
While holding branches to drive away the rattling of mosquitoes, the scout observed the enemy camp in the dim moonlight, and saw that they had erected sticks of varying thicknesses and tied them into a fence, and the outside of the fence was full of all kinds of grass and trees, and there was a faint green smoke floating in the camp, and the green smoke drifted over, and there was a strange smell.
A scout soldier asked the captain, "What does this smell like?" Why is it so weird? β
The captain said: "You see, after the green smoke drifted over, the mosquitoes were busy dodging, and they should be used to repel mosquitoes, and the weeds and branches outside the fence wall are probably used to repel poisons." β
Xiao Bing looked at it for a while and said, "The captain's vision is brilliant, I watched it for a long time before I realized this." β
The captain lightly touched the soldier's head and smiled, "Almost, brothers, go back to the camp." β
At dawn, the war drums of the Han army's camp suddenly beat, and the sleeping generals hurriedly dressed and then ran to Cao Cao's tent.
Cao Cao saw that everyone was coming, and said to the scout captain: "You explain the situation in detail. β
The scout captain said, "Yes, General." There are about 150,000 people outside the city, distributed around the city of Bei, with a total of 18 villages. Each camp is less than 10,000 people, the wall is pitiful, only with wooden sticks to tie into the shape of a fence, the camp guards 35 or 5 groups, cross patrol, there is no defensive device in the camp. The outside of the fence was piled with weeds and branches, presumably to drive away poison. β
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, go down and rest." Ladies and gentlemen, it is shameless to plagiarize people, I will finish my work in one battle, and the people will obey the order. β
Wang Ping and others immediately raised their heads and waited for Cao Cao to order.
Cao Cao shouted: "Wang Ping, Zhang Wei, Zhang Yi, and Ma Feng listen to the order. And commanded the four of you to lead five thousand men and horses, and to block the four gates of the Despicable, and not to let the army of the city stand out from the outside of the city. β
The four of them received the order together, and Cao Cao continued: "Meng Huo, Yang Feng, King Duosi, King Mulu, Wutu Gu, and Cao Zhang listen to the order, and the six of you will each lead 20,000 men and horses, and when the cannon is together, immediately enter the ** battalion outside the city, remember that this general should not live this time, and take credit with his head." β
The six of them glanced at each other and said in unison, "Respect the general's order." β
Cao Cao said: "Break the enemy army outside the city, the whole army will attack the humble city, Lao Tzu will destroy all the breath in the city this time, boys, tell me, do you have confidence?" β
All the generals were stunned, it was rare to see the temper of this general who was giggling all day long, what is wrong with this today? However, the lord asked, and everyone shouted together: "Respect the general's order, and no one will be left who gasps." β
Cao Cao sneered and said hesitantly: "Maybe you have doubts in your hearts, why is Ben Jiang harsh? Let me tell you, it is too despicable to act by plagiarizing the countrymen, driving the beasts and poisons to attack our army, but fortunately, with God's protection, the army has not suffered much. Today, Lao Tzu has a fire in his heart, vowing to kill men who are more than five feet old in the country, if you can't do it, you will go back to my hometown to accompany my mother-in-law and hold the child. β
The crowd trembled with Cao Cao's cold words, and said together: "There is no man over five feet left." β
Wang Ping deeply felt Cao Cao's anger, and changed his position, if it was not handled properly that night, how many people could go back alive in the 150,000 army? Cao Cao saw that the morale of the generals was high, and shouted: "Block the four first, the trumpet cannon sounds, and the whole army attacks." β
Wang Ping and the four led the people first, Meng Huo and others followed, and Cao Cao said to the Shan generals: "This general, follow this general, see how my big Han Erlang makes contributions?" β
The Shan general was so frightened by Cao Cao that he didn't dare to breathe, and hurriedly said: "I will definitely follow the general's side and swear to protect the general's safety." β
Cao Cao didn't say much, got out of the big tent, turned over his horse, and came to the north gate of the city of Humble Falls, commanding the overall situation. The Shan generals scattered the 20,000 horses he had brought with him and guarded them around Cao Cao. Cao Cao's personal soldiers tightly guarded the middle, and the big sword fluttered high, indicating that the main general and the soldiers were facing this war together.
