Chapter 887: Ten Thousand Emergencies (Medium)
After a while, Pan Zhang led his troops first. Pan Zhang saw a group of Cao soldiers from a distance, and he was shocked, and hurriedly led the soldiers to take a detour. Ling Tong, who was in the back, also saw it, and hurriedly waved his army up, wanting to block the Cao soldiers.
Xiahou Yuan's tiger eyes shimmered, and when he saw Pan Zhang fleeing around the road, he did not chase it, but instead ordered the army to meet Ling Tong's troops, and the two armies killed together. Xiahou Yuan rushed into the Jiangdong formation, Ling Tong danced the whip to resist, and the two fought for dozens of rounds. Ling Tong saw that Pan Zhang had gone away, and quickly ordered the army to retreat. Xiahou Yuan waved his troops to chase after him, and when he was not far from the city of Xiapi, Sun Ce led a group of soldiers and horses out of the city to help in the battle. Xiahou Yuan seemed to have expected it, and immediately ordered the soldiers to retreat. Ling Tong retreated into the city, Sun Ce saw Cao Bing fleeing, and did not chase and kill, and immediately asked Ling Tong that Pan Zhang could make a breakthrough. Ling Tong quickly reported the past, and Sun Ce knew that the heart hanging in his throat was only slightly settled.
It is said that Zhou Yu waved his troops in Yuzhou and drove in, and the Jiangdong soldiers were overwhelming, and there were many fierce generals, so Manzhong could not resist at all, and he was defeated and retreated. The Jiangdong army was like a bamboo, occupying almost half of the land in Yuzhou within a month, and went straight to Chenliu County. In recent months, the Jiangdong Army has won dozens of battles, large and small, all of which have won a complete victory. Just when the soldiers of Yuzhou were repeatedly defeated and the situation was extremely bad, Man Favor received the military order sent from Cao Ren, and Man Pet suddenly seemed to have eaten a reassuring pill, and immediately ordered the soldiers and horses of each county to concentrate all the troops in Yuzhou in Xuchang City.
Xuchang is the place where the Cao family made a fortune, most of the clans in the city are Cao clan people, so Cao Cao repeatedly sent people to repair and transform Xuchang City, and today's Xuchang City can be described as impregnable, it is a famous strong city in Yuzhou.
At this time, Manpet gathered 30,000 troops and strictly guarded Xuchang City. Zhou Yu waved his army all the way to Xuchang City, twenty miles away, and there were 50,000 or 60,000 Jiangdong troops, spreading all over the field, and the camps were standing in succession, and the momentum was magnificent.
The name of Jiangdong Zhoulang, the Central Plains, all the people of the Cao family heard this name, and they all heard the tiger's color.
It is said that Zhou Yu was in the camp at this time, gathering the generals to discuss the plan to break through Xuchang City. Zhou Tai came out and gave up.
"Our army has won many victories, and its morale is like a rainbow. On the contrary, the full favor, repeatedly defeated, lost half of the territory of Yuzhou, Yuzhou soldiers were demoralized, and the military spirit was turbulent. At present, the metropolitan governor should take advantage of the situation to attack and break through Xuchang in one fell swoop, laying the foundation for the battle of Yuzhou!! β
As soon as Zhou Tai said this, most of the Jiangdong soldiers in the tent echoed him. Zhou Yu smiled indifferently and said unhurriedly.
"Thanks to your bravery, our army has now captured half of Yuzhou. However, Xuchang is an important city in Yuzhou, and most of the clans in the city are people of the Cao family. The female wall of Xuchang City is extremely high, extremely strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and our army is facing it hard, which is really the next strategy! β
Hearing this, the veteran Han Dang frowned, and asked angrily.
"What should be done in the opinion of the Grand Governor?"
"Don't you hear the art of war? The way of using soldiers, attacking the heart is the top, and attacking the city is the bottom. Psychological warfare is the top, and military warfare is the bottom. β
Zhou Yuhao's eyes were like torches, and Han Dang and the others shook their heads again and again when they heard the words. Zhou Tai was a hot man, but he didn't know why, and hurriedly asked.
"If you follow what the Metropolitan Governor said, how should you attack your heart?"
Zhou Yu's smile became brighter, and he taught him so and so. When the generals listened to the plan, they were all shocked and said wonderful. Zhou Yu's plan was settled, and the generals made their own arrangements.
Early the next morning, Zhou Tai led a large army to kill the Xuchang city system, causing the soldiers to be scolded in every way, and all the ancestors of Cao Cao were counted. The defenders of the city listened to the scolding, and no one was angry. The Cao clan in the city was even more indignant, and they came to find their favors and forced them to send troops to meet the Jiangdong army under the city.
The matter was big, and the full favor didn't dare to inform everyone of Cao Cao's secret plan, but he didn't dare to offend these Cao clansmen, so he had to try his best to persuade him to retreat and return. How do you know that the Jiangdong soldiers and horses outside the city seem to be addicted to scolding, and the division of troops scolds day and night, and the overwhelming shouting and scolding shakes the entire Xuchang City.
Five or six days later, Zhou Yu pulled out the village on the spot, set up a big village outside Xuchang City for five or six miles, drank every day, and each would drink until he was drunk, and then sat outside the city and insulted. The defenders of the city replied every day, and they were full of doubts when they saw that the Jiangdong soldiers were so weird.
One day, Zhou Yujiao put the wine under the tent and ordered the sergeants to drink it openly. There is a detailed report to the full favor, the full pet can't help but be stunned when he hears the report, and he comes to the city to watch, and sees the Jiangdong generals led by Zhou Yu sitting under the tent and drinking, and makes the soldiers sumo wrestling for fun. On the other hand, there were soldiers drinking and scolding at the city. The Jiangdong Army seemed to regard the defenders in the city as nothing, and its arrogance was simply outrageous.
"Gongjin is really deceitful this week!!
Full of anger and drinking, he threw off his sleeves and left the city, and just returned to the county office, he saw many people from the Cao family surrounding the door. The first one, only fifteen or sixteen years old, was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, powerful and powerful, a pair of ape arms huge and powerful, as if he had the power to tear the tiger, and his eyes were impressive. When Man Zhong saw the young man, he was immediately startled, and secretly said that this demon king of the mixed world was not practicing under Wang Yue's seat, when did he return to Xuchang!?
Full of surprise on his face, he hurriedly bowed his hand and bowed.
"Man Boning has seen the third son! If you miss the distance, I hope that the third prince will forgive your sins! β
This son is Cao Cao's three sons, Cao Zhang, and Cao Ziwen. When Cao Ziwen was born, there was a vision in the sky, it was dusk, the golden light was shining, and the clouds in the sky faintly formed the shadow of a dragon. Cao Cao once invited the prime minister to ask, and the prime minister told him that this is a sign of the Dragon Emperor, and this son will become a great weapon in the future, and he is either an emperor or a king. When Cao Cao heard this, he was naturally overjoyed, and since then he has been cultivating Cao Zhang. It's a pity that Cao Zhang doesn't like articles and the art of war, and has been determined to be a general since he was a child. For this reason, Cao Cao repeatedly punished Cao Zhang, but Cao Zhang still went his own way and secretly practiced martial arts, Cao Cao had no choice but to secretly order Cao Zhang to practice under Wang Yue.
As for Wang Yue, since the demise of the Ten Standing Servants, he had to retreat to the mountains and forests. However, later, seeing that the world was not back on track because of the death of the Ten Standing Servants, the Han family was almost subverted after the rebellion of Dong Zhuo, Li Xu, and Guo Yan. Fortunately, Cao Cao appeared at that time and rescued Emperor Han Xian from the dire situation. However, the good times did not last long, Cao Cao's ambition was obvious, and Emperor Han Xian was still a puppet in the hands of others.
In order to save the Han family, Wang Yue decided to go out of the mountain again and wanted to assassinate Cao Cao. But later, for some reason, Wang Yue not only failed to assassinate, but was persuaded by Cao Cao to become a mysterious diner in his mansion. After that, Cao Cao handed over his beloved son Cao Zhang to Wang Yue and asked him to follow Wang Yue to practice everywhere.
Besides, this Cao Zhang is born with great strength, impassioned ambition, and even more agile thinking. The least unjust thing is often to hoe the strong and help the weak. Most of the gentlemen in Luoyang have been taught by Cao Zhang. But because Cao Cao was a very popular minister and his power was tilted towards the government and the opposition, the hundred officials in Luoyang saw that their children were beaten and their heads were swollen and their eyes were blue, but they dared not speak out. When he was young, Cao Zhang loved to follow Cao Cao to hunt. Once, Cao Cao saw a giant tiger and missed three arrows in a row, so angry that he smashed his bow to the ground. Cao Zhang, who was only twelve years old at the time, suddenly snapped his horse and rushed towards the giant tiger. Cao Cao was afraid that Cao Zhang would lose, so he hurriedly ordered the cavalry to follow.
However, what Cao Zhang was riding was a Dawan horse, which was extremely fast, and disappeared without a trace in an instant. When those who rode to find Cao Zhang, they first saw a broken bow not far away, which frightened those who rode to think that Cao Zhang was injured by a giant tiger. saw Cao Zhang covered in blood, holding half of the giant tiger's corpse with both hands, and walking out of one place with a bright smile.
So far, Cao Zhang's bare hands have torn the tiger, spread all over Luoyang, everyone in Luoyang knows, Cao Cheng's three sons, only twelve years old, have the ability to fight the tiger, Cao Zhang's name of "the demon king of the mixed world" came out from that time.
"The Jiangdong Army outside the city is extremely arrogant, scolding my Cao ancestor for days! Man Boning, you are my Cao family's minister, but you stand by and watch, why is this!? β
Cao Zhang's eyes as big as copper bells widened, full of favors and secretly complained, and just when he didn't know what to do, he found that there was an old man with a broken arm behind Cao Zhang, who was wearing black plain clothes, white hair, and a cold face, it was Wang Yue. Man Zhong hurriedly cast his eyes, Wang Yue bowed his head silently, and then whispered a few words in Cao Zhang's ear. Cao Zhang seemed to have great respect for Wang Yue, and suppressed his anger immediately. After confessing their crimes, they led Cao Zhang and Wang Yue into a secret room and told Cao Cao about his plan.
When he was young, Cao Zhang asked with a little suspicion, glaring at Manzhong.
"Is this really my father's plan?"
"If it weren't for the king's order, how would the pet dare to let the Jiangdong rats be so arrogant!"
Full of pets anxious and worshipped, and his heart was uneasy. This Cao Zhang is a powerful master, acting lawlessly, once the blood rushes, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, he dares to break through.
Cao Zhang groaned for a while, and a pair of big eyes slipped around flexibly. Suddenly, Cao Zhang's face sank, and he shouted in a condensed voice.
"Even so, don't let those juniors be so presumptuous. At present, the Jiangdong army outside the city is defenseless, why don't you send an elite soldier to frustrate its edge!? β
When Manzhong heard this, he hurriedly said.
"Although the pet has this intention, it has a weak heart. Zhou Gongjin's fierce generals are like clouds, and many generals have died in Yuzhou, and there is really no one under the account at this time! β
As soon as the words fell, Cao Zhang's eyes suddenly burst into two fine lights, and a bright smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Sir, don't worry! Look at how I can break this group of Jiangdong rats!! β
Cao Zhang actually wanted to put on a battle, but Manzhong's face changed drastically when he heard it, and he hurriedly stopped it and admonished him.
"The third prince is a body of ten thousand gold, how can he be involved in danger! Besides, Zhou Gongjin is a resourceful person, but I am afraid that there is fraud in this! If the third prince has a case, this Yuzhou context military attachΓ©! β
"Hey!! What such a lot of nonsense!! Sir, don't worry, with my martial arts, this group of Jiangdong rats can't hurt me! β
Cao Zhang pushed away the full pet with one hand, and wanted to step out. Where did the full favor dare to let Cao Zhang, a recruit who had never been tempered by war, go into battle, and hurriedly blocked it. At the same time, he was anxious to ask Wang Yue for help.
But this time, Wang Yue stood on Cao Zhang's side and said in his unique emotionless voice.
"Sir, don't worry about it. Even if the old man will be by the side of the third son, he will be protected from loss. β
Despite this, Wang Yue is nearly seventy years old, and he is hesitating how to refuse. Wang Yue seemed to realize the worries in Manzhong's heart, and smiled coldly.
"Although the old man is old, he is not the slightest stranger in martial arts. If the gentleman is still not at ease, he can teach the soldiers to prepare early tonight, and if the battle situation is not good, send troops to meet them immediately. The old man immediately decided to desperately protect the return of the third son! β
"Yes!"
Man Zhong was about to answer, but suddenly, Wang Yue's seventy body suddenly burst out with an extremely huge momentum, and he was forced to retreat again and again. Man Pet came back to his senses, and suddenly saw Wang Yue holding two thin needles in his hands, and suddenly shot on the ground, and the thin needles flew by, hitting two small flies. Man Zhong was surprised, and when he came back to his senses, Cao Zhang and Wang Yue had already left the secret room.
