In the deep winter of the wax moon, the cold wind is like a knife.

As soon as the heavy snow stopped, the Cao army, which had originally stationed troops in Luoyang and confronted the Yan army under the northern mountain, suddenly withdrew from the siege of Jinyong City, and abandoned and destroyed most of the heavy baggage.

Because there were many thieves and wanderers in Luhun, Liang County, Jiaxian and other places who responded to Liu Bei, and the road was not quiet, and at the same time, he was also worried that Liu Bei would ambush himself on the Three Crow Road, Cao Cao did not choose to take the two passes of Yique and Taigu, but chose to be a little farther away and be able to reach Yangzhai's Yuyi Pass.

Yan Xing, who learned the information for the first time, immediately sent troops and horses to get in touch with Pei Qian, Wei Xuan and other civil and military forces in Jinyong City, and sent a batch of grain and grass into the city as quickly as possible.

At the same time, Yan Xing also began to reorganize his army for battle, preparing to pour out of the nest and pursue the retreating main force of Cao's army.

Although Ganling, Lu Yi and other generals have advised Yan Xing, it is already a good victory for the soldiers to be able to retreat Cao Cao's army without a fight, and at this time they should turn around and cross the river north, deter Yuan Shao, unblock the encirclement of Shangdang, Taiyuan and other places, and successfully turn the situation in the eastern part of the country into a disaster.

Instead of ignoring the exhaustion of his own soldiers, ignoring the weakening of his own infantry and crossbow combat power by freezing snow and cold winter weather, he pursued Cao Cao's army, which was undamaged and eager to return home.

However, Yan Xing still tried his best to resist public opinion and insisted on leading his army to pursue Cao Cao.

Because he knew that if this battle could not greatly damage the vitality of one of the Yuan and Cao families, then in the spring of the next year, there would be a second and third Yuan and Cao north-south coalition forces to continue to attack his prefectures and counties in the eastern part of the country.

If you don't chase and kill Cao Cao's army now, you will barely win. But when it comes to the second alliance of the Yuan and Cao families, will he still be able to have such good luck and be able to consume the armies of the Yuan and Cao families?

We must take this opportunity to defeat Cao's army in a battle, so that Cao Cao, who has been greatly injured, will not have the strength to look west for many years.

The infantry under his command was tired and weakened, and Yan Xing believed that the same was true for the soldiers of the Cao army.

So, the iron horse Mengfei and the Rong soldiers ran, and the rank of Yan chased after him, and Cao Cao's rear army fought many battles, ran for a day, and finally defeated Cao Cao's rear army in the territory of the Wu clan, forcing Cao Cao's army to stop the rapid retreat, re-rely on the terrain, camp to rest, and prepare for battle to meet the enemy.

Yan Xing's cavalry, who was chasing and rushing, did not dare to rashly attack Cao's camp, and also chose to camp for confrontation, and sent a small group of elites at night to harass Cao's camp.

However, Cao Cao's army held the camp unmoved, and soon repelled the harassing troops sent by Yan Xing.

Taking advantage of the rare bright moonlight, Yan Xing took Xun You, Fa Zheng, Yang Feng, Dian Wei, Fu Gulu, Quan Qu Evil and other civil and military forces to a high ground, overlooking the heavily guarded camp of Cao Cao's army, and observing the battlefield of tomorrow glowing with silver light in the moonlight.

Yes, the main forces of the two armies have confronted each other again, and this time there is no high base and deep ditch, there is no Beibi Mountain Range, which is more than 20 miles away from Yuyi Pass, Cao Cao's army can no longer leave the pursuit of Yan's infantry and cavalry, and must fight back against Yan Xing in this place to be able to retreat to Yuyi Pass safely.

As for the camp and defense, not to mention whether the Cao army can hold it without high bases and deep ditches and arrow towers, just because the temporary camp is densely packed with stoves and tents, it is easy for the Cao army's array and movement to be restricted, and it is easy for the Yan army to be fully pressed to use fire attacks and cavalry assaults to break the formation and kill into the camp.

The same is true for the Yan army, so choosing to go out of the camp for a decisive battle is the best choice for both sides.

And Cao Cao did choose a good battlefield, although the terrain here is flat, but in the northeast corner there are some hilly areas extending from the Songshan Mountain Range, that terrain restricts the circuitous winding of the cavalry under Yan Xing's command, and Cao's infantry can deal with the Guanxi cavalry that cannot exert their full combat power.

"Tomorrow, those highlands in the northeast must be taken as soon as possible!"

Yan Xing's eyes were like torches, and by the moonlight and the map, he pointed to a few silhouettes in the distance and said to the civil and military generals beside him.

Fa Zheng also nodded, marked the map, and said:

"The cavalry wants to attack the flanks of the Cao army in a roundabout way, and these highlands must indeed be taken, but it is a pity that Cao Cao has been prepared, and the scouts have come to report, and these places have already been guarded by the crossbowmen of the Cao army."

"General, it's better to let the last general lead the troops, take advantage of the night, and take these highlands first!"

Yang Feng, Dian Wei and the others jumped to ask for battle, but Yan Xing had already consulted Xun You before, he shook his head and said:

"Cao Cao is good at using troops, since Cao's army is on strict alert, tonight's surprise attack will most likely be in vain, but it will damage the morale of tomorrow's decisive battle, or wait until tomorrow, and then capture the fighters and take those highlands in one fell swoop."

"The Cao army in Yuyi Pass and other places should also send scouts to be on guard, be on guard, and fight a decisive battle tomorrow, and never let any Cao army join the battlefield again."

"No."

After instructing some more things, Yan Xing stopped talking and quietly looked at Cao Ying in the distance, and the civil and military forces around him also stood aside and waited silently.

After a while, Xun Yu said:

"Ming Gong, the wind is strong at night, let's go back to the camp first, tomorrow's battle is coming, you need to keep your spirit up!"

"Well, let Gu take another look, presumably at this time, Cao Mengde is still unwilling to sleep, and is convening the generals to discuss tomorrow's war!"

···

Yan Xing's expectation was good, Cao Cao had indeed not fallen asleep, the candles in the handsome tent were bright, all the Cao generals gathered together, Guo Jia and Liu Ye, who were with the military counselor of the army, were busy before and after, and explained the combat strategy drawn up by Cao Cao and them to all the civil and military forces one by one, requiring that tomorrow's battle be achieved, and all the troops and horses would be foolproof, and successfully repelled Yan Xing's pursuers.

After all, for Yan Jun, the pressure on Cao Jun, who was being chased after at this time, was undoubtedly greater.

Although Cao Cao's army successfully arrived at the previously anticipated battlefield, the broken army was defeated by the infantry pursued by the Yan army, and the defeat of Shi Jian who was seriously wounded by an arrow and Bian Bing was captured still caused the army's morale to waver.

Shi Jian is a powerful general in Cao's camp, and Bian Bing is Cao Cao's brother-in-law, and their defeat is a bruising to the morale of Cao's generals.

The soldiers will definitely be suspicious and worried in their hearts, whether they will be able to repel Yan Xing's pursuers in a battle tomorrow.

Therefore, Cao Cao had to boost morale and reserve a backhand.

Liu Ye pointed out the huge map and assigned missions to the armies of Xiahou Yuan on the left and Cao Hong on the right, especially on several highlands in the northeast corner.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a battlefield that Sikong has chosen in advance. Kansai soldiers and horses are good at infantry and cavalry combined attacks, tomorrow's battle, the northeast highlands are the key, hold here, then the enemy's left wing cavalry can not outflank, cut off the thief's arm, garrison generals, must be held tightly do not lose! ”

After Liu Ye finished speaking, Zhu Ling, the general who was ordered to be stationed, immediately came out of the ranks, faced Cao Cao, and solemnly agreed.

Seeing that the military order was completed, Cao Cao, who was at the top, coughed, and Guo Jia, the military advisor, stepped forward with a smile and added:

"Now that all the monarchs have understood, Na Jia will say one more thing, the Yan thief is fierce, and Sikong intends to lure him deeper, cooperate with the ambush soldiers who were ambushed in advance, and frustrate his soldiers. In the battle tomorrow, the lieutenant colonel of the army saw that the Yan thief rode into the Chinese army, and the armies retreated slightly, so they did not need to panic, but they could send orders to the generals and soldiers, which was a plan to pride the enemy and lure the enemy. ”

"When you see that the Chinese army has a Xuanwu flag, that is, when all the departments are counterattacking, the armies can inspire the soldiers, move forward bravely, and flank the enemy with the ambush soldiers.

"No, no!"

When the generals of Cao Jun heard that Cao Cao had set up an ambush in advance, their faces showed admiration, and they all agreed in unison.

They had long known that Cao Cao was like a god in his army, and he would never be without a backhand, and sure enough, he chose the battlefield in advance, set up an ambush, and waited for the infantry and cavalry pursued by the Yan army to fall into the trap.

Cao Cao, who was on the top of the bamboo, looked at the looks of the generals, laughed, waved his big hand, and said in high spirits:

"Well, the big war is coming, and all the armies will return to their base camps and recuperate. Tomorrow's battle, obey the military order, and go out with the lonely to break the enemy! ”

"No!!"

This time, the voices of the generals and colonels of Cao Jun were even louder, everyone was excited, and the crowd seemed to shake the entire tent.

···

Seeing that the many generals in the iron armor walked out of the handsome tent one after another, and stood aside, Cao Ang, who had not received any military orders, was a little surprised.

He looked at Guo Jia, then at his father, and stopped talking.

After a while, Cao Cao, who was buried in the case, raised his head again and said to Cao Ang:

"Something?"

Guo Jia also cast a kind glance at him.

When Cao Ang heard this, he immediately plucked up his courage and stepped forward to ask for battle and said:

"Adult, listen to the strategy of the military division just now, tomorrow's battle, to echo the ambush, the child has the courage to ask for battle, and lead the soldiers and horses of the battalion to cooperate with the ambush soldiers to attack the enemy together."

Hearing Cao Ang's words, Cao Cao was silent, Huo Ran got up and walked to the door of the tent.

Seeing this, Cao Ang wanted to follow, but was stopped by Guo Jia reaching out.

He looked at Cao Ang, who was puzzled, and said calmly:

"Childe, in the battle tomorrow, in fact, there will be no ambush at all."

This!

Cao Ang was stunned, there was no joke in the army, he didn't expect that Guo Jia had said so much just now, and these ambushes were all fake.

Cao Cao stood at the tent door, looking at Xinghan with a brilliant gaze.

Guo Jia patiently explained to the eldest son:

"The army retreated, and the strong enemy did not go, which can be described as dangerous and abnormal. Yan Yan's Kansai soldiers and horses are fierce and good at fighting, yesterday the rear army has just been broken by the enemy's cavalry, although the generals are all generals in the army, but it is inevitable that they will be panicked, if there is no such strategy, tomorrow's battle, Guanxi foot cavalry into battle, only fear that there is a tendency to collapse, even if Sun Wu is alive, it is difficult to recover. ”

"Soldiers, treacherous. It is based on Huangshi Gong's "Military Situation" that said: "Make wisdom, make brave, make greedy, make foolish, so the wise man is happy to make his merits, the brave man is good at doing his will, the greedy are eager to pursue his benefits, and the fool does not care about his death" As long as he can win and break the enemy, the gentleman will do everything he can, and the commonplace use this strategy is the victory of the soldiers, and it cannot be passed on first! ”
