Chapter 123: Ambush on all sides
(Recommended reading: The soldiers are fast, Xiao Yi only stayed in the Thorn Shi Mansion for one night, and the next day he led the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry straight to Xiapi City, the three pillars of Xuzhou have been broken, as long as the last one is taken down, the overall situation can be determined!
In order to command the war nearby, Cao Cao stationed his base camp on a high post in the south of the city, and after hearing that Xiao Yi led the troops to arrive, he just smiled slightly and ordered to open the camp gate.
People are different, if other generals have made such great achievements, they must be horns ringing, gongs and drums are noisy, maybe Cao Cao will personally come out to greet him, touch his back with his hand, and say, 'The general has worked hard!' ’
But when you get to Xiao Yi, there is nothing, as soon as the camp door opens, you can go in by yourself, 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' won the battle, everyone is used to this, Cao Cao is not surprised, the generals are not surprised, the soldiers are not surprised, everything is regarded as a matter of course!
The rest is simple, enter the account, hand over the order, report the process of the Xiaoguan battle and the situation in Xuzhou City, and finally go to the team of military generals, even if the task of the 'vanguard officer' is completed, as for Cao Cao, he just nodded slightly from beginning to end, not to mention the reward, not even a word of praise!
There is no reward for meritorious service, and other generals have long complained about it, but Xiao Yi is accustomed to it, and he has even made a great contribution to saving the driver more than once, and the result is not a reward, of course, it is not that there is no benefit at all, at least he also has a privilege that everyone envies~~'There has been no punishment! ’
If there is no reward for merit, there will be no punishment, so Xiao Yi dares to do his own thing in many things, even if he stabs the big basket, he has Cao Cao to bear it for him!
Whether it is merit or punishment, Xiao Yi has no heart to think about these now, his eyes are all attracted by the three people in the big tent, three people he knows, but he didn't expect to appear!
The first is his good friend, Brother of Life and Death - Da Niu, it stands to reason that 'Tofu Xi Shi' is about to be born, he doesn't stay in Xuchang City to accompany his wife, waiting for his son to be born, what to do in Xiapi City?
His own brother, seeing Xiao Yi's interrogating gaze, immediately understood, Da Niu first patted his stomach gently, and then pointed to the general's seal hanging on his waist, and finally beat his chest a few times, making an open look!
Da Niu's meaning is very clear, for the sake of the soon-to-be-born child, he, who is Lao Tzu, must risk his life, make war exploits, win the title, and pave a bright road for future generations, so he also came to participate in this battle of Xuzhou!
"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!" Xiao Yi sighed and nodded, his wife and children are really the biggest motivation for men, since his good friend has this self-motivated mind, he has to help no matter what, and he has to get a knighthood anyway!
The second guy I didn't expect was Sima Yi, he just showed his face in the Prime Minister's Mansion a few years ago, and he had the intention of becoming a leader, but he didn't expect to be incorporated into the army so soon, wearing a low-level captain's armor, standing respectfully in the last row of the big tent, like ordinary young people, slowly making military merits and boiling qualifications!
'Tsukasa Tiger' eyes were sharp, and after seeing Xiao Yi, he took the initiative to clasp his fists and salute, he had been notified that he would listen to it under the command of this metropolitan governor in the future, which was really both happy and worried!
The joy is that the 'Xuanjia Iron Cavalry' is the elite in the army, with unparalleled combat power, good treatment, and fast promotion, and a large number of generals and colonels in the army are all out of there, and they take care of each other, as if they have formed a big faction, and joining them by themselves is naturally a lot of benefits!
The worry is that 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' is not easy to deal with, especially those eyes, like eagle falcons, seem to be able to see through people's hearts, every time Sima Yi is targeted by that kind of gaze, he will be scared into a cold sweat, I am really afraid that if I am not careful that day, my head will be gone!
The last one is Liu Bei, this guy was originally in Xuchang City as his apartment, but he didn't expect to be recruited into the army by Cao Cao, and he was brought to Xuzhou, and he was in a high position, which was very important!
"It seems that the prime minister is going to borrow Liu Bei's tiger skin and build his own banner!" Xiao Yi's eyes turned, and he immediately understood Cao Cao's intentions, the big-eared Ah Fu has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness among the people of Xuzhou, if he acts in his name, the power is comparable to an army of 100,000, but there are also some risks, in case the tiger returns to the mountain, it will be a big deal, and he must be stricter!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
All the generals gathered, the next step is to discuss the battle in front of them, Cao Jun acted quickly, before the arrival of Lu Bu, he surrounded Xiapi City, and now Chen Gong is in charge of defense in the city, deep ditches and high bases, with danger to defend, it is difficult to take it for a while, so there is a strategic difference!
Whether to continue to concentrate the whole army here, besiege the last stronghold of Xiapi, or besiege the city on the one hand, and send troops and horses to pursue and kill Lu Bu, although the 'tiger dove' was defeated and fled, but Yu Wei is still there, and there are thousands of men and horses under his hands, once he is allowed to wander around, or defect to other princes, the harm is not small!
"The last general is not talented, I am willing to lead a team of men and horses to chase and kill Lu Bu!"
"The last general is also willing, lead the army to capture Lu Bu, and dedicate it to the prime minister!"
"Please hand over the arrow to your subordinates, don't capture Lu Bu, your subordinates will come to see you!"
Cao Yingzhong's generals suddenly boiled, if it was the heyday of the 'tiger dove', they would not dare to send them to death, but now it is different, 'the tiger falls on the land of Pingyang, and the dragon is trapped on the beach', it is a good opportunity to take advantage of his illness and take his life, such a great achievement, who doesn't want to earn first!
"Xiao Lang, what do you think about this matter?" Cao Cao is such a shrewd character, he naturally understands the careful thinking of the generals, but 'although the tiger is sick, the majesty is still there', if they want to capture Lu Bu, they don't have that ability, they have to go out of the horse!
"Back to the Prime Minister, there is no need to assign soldiers and horses, Lu Bu's wives and concubines and daughters are all in Xiapi City, we just need to dig a deep pit and wait for the 'tiger dove' to throw itself into the net!"
Xiao Yi is very sure of this, in the era of heroes in the late Han Dynasty, Lu Bu was famous for 'greedy for wives and daughters', to put it bluntly, it is the temperament of a little man, and he can't do without his wife and children, even if the sky falls, the whole family has to be together!
This is the performance of a good man and a good father, but unfortunately, he is not a good commander.
On the contrary, it is Liu Bei who is sitting opposite, this is the famous 'wife and children', as long as he encounters danger, he must be the first to slip away, as for the life and death of his wife and children, he is all entrusted to his friends, anyway, he has many friends, and he is reliable!
This is also the tradition of their old Liu family, when the Han Gaozu Liu Bang was defeated in Suishui, he was chased by the Chu soldiers and had no way to go to the sky, and there was no way to enter the ground, in order to make the car run faster, Liu Bang threw his children down more than once, and his heart was ruthless, which can be seen in general, but this incompetent father finally created the Han Dynasty for 400 years, history, sometimes it is so wonderful!
"If that's the case, the old man doesn't have to worry about it!" Cao Cao nodded, since this is the case, there is an all-out siege of Xiapi, the more ruthless the attack, the faster Lu Bu will come back!
At the moment, after some planning, Cao Cao divided the 200,000 army into four teams, and personally led one team to garrison the south of the city, as for the rest?
"Where's Xiao Yat?"
"The last general!"
"Command 50,000 troops, stationed in the west of Xiapi City, join forces, dig ditches, build fortifications, prepare more antlers, reject horses, and surround Xiapi for the old man!"
"No!"
Xiahoudun commanded the troops stationed in the north of the city, and the same should be handled, so that no one person and one horse slip through the net!
"No!"
"The rest of the east?" Cao Cao glanced at the generals in the camp, and finally fell on Liu Bei, who was extremely low-key, "The defense of the east of the city will be handed over to General Zuo!" ”
"The Last General's Order!" I thought I was a soy sauce character, but I didn't expect that there would be a chance to appear, Liu Bei didn't hesitate at all, and immediately got up to take the order, and he had to show a happy look on his face!
However, he also understands that Cao Cao will never hand over the power of commanding the army to himself so easily, there must be restrictions in the back, and what people want to use is just his name!
"General Zuo has not commanded the troops for a long time, it is inevitable that he will be a little rusty, and the old man will shoot Li Dian and Le Jin to assist from the side, and be sure to guard the hard disk and not let Lu Bu ride over alone!" Sure enough, Cao Cao directly sent two henchmen over to set up the big-eared Ah Fu.
"Hehe, the prime minister is clever, no one can match!" Liu Bei made a pun, and then sat back silently.
The deep pit has been dug down, and then, waiting for the 'tiger dove' to be caught, will he kill it from that direction?
