In the fourth year of Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, in the winter of November, Cao Cao ordered his 50,000 troops to set off from Huainan and Xudu respectively to attack Nanyang County under the rule of Liu He. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"As long as we take Nanyang, we can completely guarantee the safety of Xu Du, cut off Liu He'er's connection with Chang'an, and even possibly trap this child completely in Nanjun! And as long as Liu Hexiao'er is dead, his strength will collapse, and when the time comes, I will coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes to seize Yongliang, Sili, Youji and Qingji and other states in the name of the Son of Heaven, who else in this world can stop my rise? ”

Cao Cao's heart was fanatical, he had fought a battle of Guandu with less and more victories, defeated Yuan Shao in that battle, annexed a lot of Yuan Shao's troops, and also seized the south part of the river in Qingzhou, and took advantage of the situation to occupy many counties and counties in Xuzhou and Yangzhou, and the key to that battle was to kill Yuan Shao's generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou in the Battle of White Horse, this time he led the army to attack Nanyang County Zhiwan City, will also become another white horse, laying the foundation for his great victory.

Cao Cao is the one who set out from Huainan, and he has a total of 30,000 troops under his command, which are all elite in the army, including some generals under his command, such as Cao Cao's escort general Dian Wei, Cao Xiu, the general known as Cao's Qianli Ju, the sword general Xia Houen, and Cao Cao's elite tiger and leopard cavalry commander Cao Chun, Cao Hong, and Yuan Shao's father and son generals Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang brothers who defected to themselves after the Battle of Guandu, Zhong Jin Zhongshen brothers and so on.

And Xu Du's road was led by Cao Ren, and the generals under his command, including Li Dian, Le Jin, Shi Lian, Niu Jin, etc., believed that this time it could be said that the elite was exhausted, except for Xiahou Yuanzheng leading the army to defend Yanzhou, and Xiahou Yuan was leading the army to defend Yuzhou, the generals who could be dispatched under his command were all dispatched, put on a desperate posture, and decided to take Nanyang at all costs.

The two armies advanced rapidly, and soon reached the city of Wancheng, but what is unimaginable is that although the 50,000 army almost seemed to fall into a frenzy to attack Wancheng, the two armies attacked day and night for a day, losing thousands of men and horses, but still could not capture Wancheng.

"This damn Zhang Xiu actually built Wancheng so strongly, what is even more hateful is that although there are not many soldiers in the city, it seems that there are only 10,000 people at most, but they have the help of the people in the city, tens of thousands of people regardless of their lives, ran to the head of the city to help defend, this is the reason why I have been unable to capture Wancheng for a long time."

Cao Cao was very annoyed in his heart, and said through gritted teeth.

At this time, he saw Cao Hong and said: "The lord does not need to worry, when Hong attacked the city today, he found that the southeast corner of the city wall was a little loose, the lord only needs to give me a military horse, and I can attack the city from here in the middle of the night." ”

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Really?" ”

"Naturally, it's true, Hong found out after observation that the city wall is the old city wall, and after our impact, it is indeed a little loose, and it can be broken with a little force."

"Haha, okay, in that case, then we will act at night, Zilian, I will give you 5,000 soldiers and horses, and then you will attack the northwest corner of the enemy's wall." Cao Cao smiled proudly when he heard this.

"Huh? West, northwest corner? My lord, the place where we found loose before was the southeast corner. Cao Hong thought that Cao Cao had misheard, and hurriedly corrected him.

But he saw Cao Cao and said: "It is precisely for you to attack the northwest corner, Zilian, don't you know?" The way of the art of war, the virtual is real, the real is virtual, I let you feint to attack the northwest corner, the enemy will think that we are attacking the northwest corner, so they will send the main force to guard here, so that the southeast corner can be empty, in this case I personally led the army to attack the southeast corner, will be able to break through Wancheng. ”

"I see, the lord is really a clever plan", Cao Hong heard Cao Cao's words, and suddenly woke up like a dream, and said to Cao Cao in admiration: "The last general will take the order!" Haha, with the master's clever plan, I believe that Wancheng will be easily broken today. ”

"Lord, Zhang Xiu is fine, but this Jia Xu is not an ordinary person, at the beginning, his words stirred up the world and caused the rebellion of Li Dao and Guo Yan, so the lower officials are afraid that he will be able to see through your strategy." Seeing this, Cheng Yu on the side suddenly said with some concern.

saw Cao Cao laugh and said: "No matter how powerful Jia Xu is, in the end, Li Dao and Guo Yan are not wiped out?" Don't worry, even if they are wise, their wisdom is limited, Zilian found that the city wall was loose, but it didn't mean that Jia Xu could find it, if he couldn't find it, he wouldn't know my trick, you just wait to enter Wancheng tonight. ”

That night, Cao Hong led 5,000 men and horses to suddenly attack the northwest corner of Wancheng, Zhang Xiu was very anxious when he heard the report, and immediately decided to go to the northwest corner to defend against the enemy.

saw Jia Xu smile and asked, "Where are you going, general?" ”

"Why do you knowingly ask, sir? Naturally, it was to defend against the enemy in the northwest corner, and what Hu Che'er said just now was very clear, the enemy army was attacking frantically there, and it would be too late if he didn't go. Zhang Xiu picked up a gun and straddled the horse, and hurriedly said that he was about to leave.

However, Jia Xu continued to laugh and said: "This time the general is wrong, although Cao Cao attacked the northwest corner in terms of performance, but his main army is not here, the Chinese army is just a false fight, Xu knows that the city wall in the southeast corner of Wancheng is loose, so it is expected that Cao Cao will definitely lead the army to attack there, so I advise the general to lead the people to support there, otherwise once the city is broken, we will not be able to replace the main bus." ”

"But once the thief breaks through from the northwest corner, how can I substitute for the main bus?" This was the first time Zhang Xiu encountered a strong enemy after being stationed in Nanyang, so he was a little nervous in his heart, and asked rhetorically after Jia Xu finished speaking.

But I saw Jia Xu solemnly said: "If there is really a problem, Xu apologizes to the lord alone!" General, the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, once Cao Cao breaks through the city wall, with our thousands of limited soldiers and horses in the city, we will not be able to hold Wancheng at all, and once Wancheng is lost, I am afraid that the entire Jingzhou will not be owned by the lord. ”

Zhang Xiu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll trust Mr. once." ”

Then he said to Hu Che'er beside him: "Hu Che'er, immediately mobilize the army to the southeast corner to defend against the enemy." However, in order to ensure the safety of the northwest corner, you need to lead a thousand soldiers to hold on, and the opposite side is several times or even more than ten times the troops, I don't know if you dare to go? ”

"Haha, eldest brother, you don't know me, the master has raised me for so many years, not only teaching me martial arts, but also taking care of my food, and making me an official, how can I not repay him well? Don't say it's just a few people, even if it's 100,200,000, Hu Che'er still treats it as nothing, don't worry, I'll take a thousand brothers and have a good time with them. ”

After finishing speaking, Hu Che'er led a thousand soldiers to the northwest corner.
