Chapter 105: Cao Shuang was defeated, and Sima was afraid

The war in the south has reached a point, while the conquest in the north has just begun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info In the face of Liu Xuewu's four-way army, Cao Pi also sent two armies to resist. Sima father and son led an army of 50,000 to fight first, and later transferred back to the remnants of 30,000 led by Cao Shuang to supplement 20,000 fresh troops as the second army. Two to four ways, but it's a bit compact, but it's no way. Now Cao Pi sits in Xuzhou, Gunzhou and half of the division, there is more than one enemy around the need to be vigilant, Gunzhou has Liu Mao in the north, Yuan in the south of Gunzhou, and Liu Zhang in the west. It can be said that there are enemies on all sides, as for Yangzhou, Cao Pi is not worried at all, and now Liu Qi is still hurrying to replenish armaments, so that he can survive the winter, and he is already unable to fight again. That's why he was able to free up his hands and send two armies.

Due to the climate, winter was about to begin, and Liu Zhang and Liu Mao both canceled their plans to send troops. And the Yuan clan is now also hoarding strength, just seeking self-protection, so they have no plans to target Cao Pi, but if Cao Pi is defeated, they are willing to beat the water dog together and fall into the well. The most difficult thing in this world to understand is the human heart, fighting against Liu Xuewu's army. Cao Shuang and Sima Yi have completely different mentalities, Cao Shuang is young and ambitious, the first battle in his life, although he returned in vain, but no matter how he said it, he killed the world-famous Guan Yu Guan Erye, forcing Liu Bei, who is known as a hero, to flee in the wilderness, and even the invincible Zhang Fei was seriously injured and fled, I don't know if he died. Therefore, Cao Shuang's confidence swelled rapidly in this war, almost to the point where no one was in sight. In his eyes, even if Liu Xuewu is stronger than Liu Bei, he must be a few points stronger at most, and it is estimated that he is not an invincible opponent of himself. This person, what he is most afraid of is blind arrogance, which is destined for Cao Shuang to suffer a big loss next.

Maybe it's destined in the dark, the general will be against the general, the king against the king. Cao Shuang did not meet Liu Xuewu's Qinglong Army, but met Liu Xuewu's two sons, Liu Yang and Liu An. These two boys, one is invincible and powerful, according to Liu Xuewu, it is completely a copy of his uncle Liu Zhang. And the other one is insidious and black-bellied, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, using despicable means to do everything, and his martial arts are ridiculously high, even the current Liu Xuewu sometimes suffers a big loss if he is not careful. It can be said that the blue is better than the blue, and Liu Xuewu had a fight when he was young. The combination of the two, coupled with Liu Xuewu's master, who was born in the army, and their master Song Dynasty was by his side, but he was not much inferior in arranging troops.

And even if they can't be defeated, it doesn't matter, they still have an army of 50,000 led by Zhao Yun on their flanks. Once the battle situation is scorched, Zhao Yun's army will suddenly cut straight into it from the flank, and when the time comes, even if Cao Jun has great ability, he will have to hate him on the spot.

It's okay not to go to war, no, Cao Shuang was disdainful of Liu Xuewu's two sons when he learned that he was fighting against him, and he was arrogant and underestimated the enemy. was caught off guard by Liu An's strategy, and at the same time as the two armies were fighting, Liu An secretly sent a thousand-strong brigade with gunpowder to ambush the rear of his army. Then let Liu Yang come and charge a few fierce attacks, and then Liu An directed and acted in the rear to light the wolf smoke, Liu Yang shouted: "It's not good, the enemy army is cheating, retreat and return." ”

It can be said that Liu Yang shouted with all his internal strength, and his voice was as loud as thunder, which was specially heard by Cao Shuang. Then the whole army was changed from the rear army to the front army, and the front army was the rear army, which quickly left the battlefield and fled backwards. Since the men and horses led by Liu Yang were all cavalry, the mobility was extremely fast, and they came and went like a gust of wind. By the time Cao Shuang reacted, most of them had evacuated safely. Cao Shuang didn't know the truth, and thought that Cao Pi or Sima Yi had another arrangement to sneak attack Liu Jun's rear camp, and immediately ordered a quick pursuit. Liu Yang, who had already been ambushed, and Zhao Yun, who had rushed to the scene after receiving the signal, silently watched Cao Jun enter the ambush circle on his side, in fact, this wolf smoke was a signal to Liu Yang and a signal to Zhao Yun. Under this order, Liu An personally ignited the gunpowder of the ambush, and in the middle of the ground of Cao's army, countless gunpowder exploded. Countless Cao Jun were killed and injured at once, and as the sound of the explosion sounded, Liu Jun, who was waiting in all directions, emerged from his hiding place. The so-called defeat of the army was like a mountain, and the Cao army, which had long been frightened by the gunpowder blasting, scattered and fled. But now surrounded on all sides, there is no escape, and for a while, there are waves of surrenderers who put down their weapons and surrender, and only those who desperately resist are shot by random arrows.

Cao Shuang, the governor of the capital, wielded the sword in his hand, was hit in the throat by an unknown arrow, and fell to the ground and died. In half a day, 50,000 elite Cao troops were wiped out. After the news came back, Cao Pi was so angry that he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood and shouted: "Uncle Zhao is mistaken." In the end, he fainted on the spot in the main hall.

On the other hand, the Cao army was led by Sima Yi and his son, and they did not take the initiative to attack, but borrowed the terrain in Xuzhou to defend the city according to local conditions. and took the opportunity to collect the 20,000 defenders of Xuzhou, plus the 10,000 Ding Zhuang temporarily recruited to make 80,000 horses. Sima Yi personally garrisoned Xuzhou City with 30,000 horses, while Sima Zhao and Sima Shi took the remaining 50,000 horses to garrison Xiapei. If you say Xuzhou, you must say Xiapei. The relationship between the two is indispensable, just like when Liu Bei won Xuzhou and lost one of them, the whole of Xuzhou was also lost.

And Sima Yi knows who he is about to face, and he has been famous for a long time for the name Liu Xuewu. He knows that there is no vanity under his fame, and Liu Xuewu's life record is so brilliant that it is almost impossible to complete it by himself. Moreover, he also admires Liu Xuewu, who resisted the Huns in the north, rejected Xianbei in the west, conquered the Southern Barbarians in the south, and made great contributions to the Central Plains of China. It is also a great honor for Sima Yi to be able to fight with him today.

Moreover, Sima Yi is cautious by nature, and he will never put himself in a crisis when doing things. In the original time and space, only he could be at ease in Cao Cao's hands, and in Zhuge Liang's hands, he reversed and applied to contend with it.

In order to meet this battle, Sima Yi could make more preparations than usual, quietly waiting for the arrival of Liu Xuewu's army. Of course, Liu Xuewu is also full of expectations for the upcoming battle, and for Sima Yi, Liu Xuewu himself is not sure of victory. Although the Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes Zhuge Liang's empty city plan to scare Sima Yi away, there is also the story of Zhuge Death scaring Sima Yi away. However, this is a testament to Sima Yi's cautious approach to things, and he can give up another opportunity and not take risks to play.

There is no more formidable enemy than this, and almost everything that is calculated is painstaking. A little risky opportunity, if the other party sees a flaw, then it is definitely certain death.
