Chapter 340: Xi Zhicai vs Sima Yi (Life and Death)
"What are you panicking about?" Cao Cao saw that it was Yu Ban, and immediately said in a cold voice.
"Even if something happens, you shouldn't be like that as a general."
"Yes, the last general knows that he is wrong, and the last general is just in a hurry, so he lost his temper, and asked Cao Gong to punish him." Yu Ban spoke after listening to Cao Cao's words.
He also knew that his performance just now was indeed too gaffe.
"Thinking that you are a first-time offender, and now that it is an extraordinary period, I will not bother with you, say what happened."
Cao Cao saw Yu Ban like this, so he extinguished the fire, and then looked at Yu Ban and said.
"Cao Gong, the Han army has attacked the camp." Yu Ban only spoke after seeing Cao Cao's inquiry.
"Sneak attack on the camp?" After Sima Yi heard this, he frowned, this move of the Han army was a bit abnormal, it actually started at this time, attacking day and night.
Then Sima Yi smiled, I want to see what ideas you have and what tricks you can play.
"Your Majesty, now that General Gan Ning has led the army to attack the Cao army camp, Your Majesty can take advantage of the night to lead the army to set off."
On the other side, Xi Zhicai looked at Liu Wei and instructed that the purpose of this attack was naturally to cover Liu Wei's leading army to Baima.
is also to create an illusion of a decisive battle with Cao Cao in Guandu.
Liu Wei looked at Xi Zhicai, then at the stand-in that had been prepared, and then nodded.
There is no turning back from the bow, and now that you have come this far, there is no chance of turning back.
Zhao Yun led the Long Wu Army and the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, a total of 30,000 horses, and had already gone in the direction of Xingyang.
So now I have to set off, otherwise when Zhao Yun attacks from Xingyang and Xu Huang, there will be no response, and everything will be in vain.
Then Liu Wei also changed his clothes, and led the Danyang elite soldiers with Dian Wei, a total of 30,000 horses and horses, and went in the direction of Baima.
The night was beautiful, looking at the continuous camp behind him, Liu Wei felt a little uneasy.
The original battalion with an army of 70,000 or 80,000 was only empty at this time, with only nearly 20,000 horses left.
In the big tent, Xi Zhicai looked at the direction where Liu Wei was going, and after a long while, he withdrew his gaze.
Sima Yi, this time, let's have a good battle to see if you can beat me.
"Strategist, what should we do now?" At this time, Liu Wei's stand-in looked at Xi Zhicai and said.
"I don't need you for the time being, when the time comes, you just need to show your face, and you will live in His Majesty's tent during this time."
Xi Zhicai glanced at the man and said.
The man didn't say anything more when he answered, stood aside, and just watched the drama before he was silent.
More than half an hour later, Gan Ning also returned to Dazhai at this time, and immediately went to look for that drama Zhicai.
"Strategist, I have led the men and horses according to your orders, rushing back and forth in the camp of the Cao army, creating chaos." Gan Ning looked at Xi Zhicai and said.
"Well, General Gan, I'm afraid it's still a few days like this."
After hearing Gan Ning's words, Xi Zhicai nodded with a smile and said.
"Why? Isn't what you are doing today to cover your majesty's march? Gan Ning asked puzzled.
"Strategist, don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm scared, but once this night attack is frequent, it will have no effect."
"I naturally know what you mean, but in this way, I can let Cao Jun know the heart of our army's decisive battle." Xi Zhicai nodded with a smile and said.
Besides, this Sima Yi is not an ordinary person, if he just wants to cover it up with a night attack, it is very likely that Sima Yi will be detected.
As long as the night attack reaches a certain number of times, it will inevitably be better able to delay this Cao army.
"Yes, sir, I see." Gan Ning nodded and said.
Since he has decided to help Xi Zhicai, he will naturally do his best.
The next day, early in the morning, Xi Zhicai led the men and horses to call for battle with Cao Jun's camp.
Xi Zhicai didn't say anything, but directly ordered people to rush to kill.
Cao Cao saw the chariot rushing out of Liu Wei, and collided left and right, and couldn't help but scold.
If it weren't for the Han army's sneak attack on the camp last night, he could have sent someone to smash a few trenches as Sima Yi said.
At that time, this chariot will inevitably be useless.
"Lord, have you ever noticed that the Han army called for an attack this time, but what is the difference?"
After Cheng Yu met on the side, he looked at Cao Cao and whispered.
"What difference can it be, it's just that Liu Wei is missing." Cao Cao said angrily.
The two armies fought, and now that he has suffered the loss of the Han army again, he naturally won't have a good temper.
But angry to angry, Cao Cao still looked at the battlefield again.
"You mean that this time in the battle, this Liu Wei didn't even come in person?"
After Cao Cao saw it, he opened his mouth and said, now there is only one person in the Han army, who is commanding with the command banner.
Cheng Yu nodded, "This Liu Wei has been here in person several times, but this time he is not there, I think there must be a reason for it." ”
Cao Cao nodded after hearing Cheng Yu's words, "When you say that, there is some truth in that." ”
In the evening, the two armies again withdrew their troops, and each led his men and horses back to the camp.
Soon Cheng Yu told Sima Yi about this, and Sima Yi frowned after hearing it.
"Could it be that this Liu Wei is no longer in this official crossing now? Or maybe something happened? Not? ”
Based on his own observations, Sima Yi didn't believe that Liu Wei would suddenly disappear.
In the middle of the night, Gan Ning led his men and horses to launch an offensive against Cao Jun's camp again according to Xi Zhicai's intentions.
The two armies fought until nearly dawn, and Gan Ning led the men and horses to retreat.
"Why is this Han army so abnormal in the past two days, could it be that they are hiding something?"
After Gan Ning retreated, Cheng Yu frowned and looked at Cao Cao and said.
"Could it be that Liu Wei is no longer in the big tent, so he didn't fight yesterday, and the Han army used the night attack to cover up this matter?"
After Sima Yi heard this, he also frowned, and then said, "Yes or no, you will know at a glance, after dawn, you can send General Xiahou to the Han camp." ”
After dawn, Xiahou Yuan led the men and horses to come, in front of the Han army.
After Xiahou Yuan called out the formation, he looked around, and on the high platform, at this time, Xi Zhicai and Liu Wei looked at Xiahou Yuan.
"Shoot the arrows." Xi Zhicai immediately ordered, he naturally knew the purpose of Gan Ning's coming.
Xiahou Yuan saw that the arrows were raining down, and Liu Wei was deep in the high platform, and he led the people to retreat.
It seems that they are too careful, this Liu Wei is in the big tent, and he has not left the Guandu camp at all.
When Xiahou Yuan was returning to the army, the roads on both sides were already shouting and killing, killing two teams of people.
Seeing this, Xiahou Yuan didn't dare to fight, and then led the men and horses back to the camp.
"I think this should be a plan by Xi Zhicai, luring our army to investigate, so that he can set up an ambush from it."
After Xiahou Yuan informed Cao Cao of the matter, he opened his mouth and concluded.
If this is not the case, how could he be ambushed?
"General Xiahou, can you see clearly, that person is Liu Wei?" Sima Yi frowned after listening to Xiahou Yuan's words.
"Although Xia has suffered a few defeats, this person can still see clearly, if the military advisor doesn't believe it, he can go and see it in person tomorrow."
Xiahou Yuan said unhappily after hearing this. This is obviously doubting himself, whether he will still recognize the wrong person.
After Sima Yi heard Xiahou Yuan's words, it became clear that it seemed that Xiahou Yuan was not deceiving.
Otherwise, Xiahou Yuan would not be so angry, and even more so.
But that's okay, since the Han army is in the camp, then this time I just happened to catch them all.
"Cao Gong, now it has been ascertained that the grain and grass of the Han army have been transported to Liyang, but the Han army has transported the grain and grass to different places several times."
"Shipped to a different place?" Cao Cao was stunned after hearing Sima Yi's words, it stands to reason that it should be transported to Daying, or a nearby pass.
"This is just a trick by Xi Zhicai, he deliberately made people pretend to be suspicious soldiers and hide the real place where the grain is hidden."
"What does Zhongda mean?"
"Cao Gong, this time I am willing to personally lead the army to find out the place where the Han army hides the grain and burn it."
