Chapter 11 Guangling's First Victory
Seeing the back of Cao Cao driving away, Gao Ye gently stroked Fengying's face with one hand, and smiled faintly. Cao Cao in history fought horses all his life, but he personally led the troops in all the major battles. Whether it was the earliest to clear the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, or the conquest of Wancheng and Xuzhou, or the great battles of Guandu and Chibi, or later in Tongguan and Hanzhong, Cao Cao was the commander of the whole army. But in this life, whenever Cao Cao goes on an expedition, there will always be a line of soldiers and horses that are completely out of his control, and there will always be a line of soldiers and horses that are cooperating with him to feint and lure the enemy, or attack on both sides, and even when it comes to Guandu, the entire battlefield is divided into two sides. I'll leave it to you, Gao Ye felt that this had become Cao Cao's mantra.
Gao Ye can't say whether Cao Cao's change is good or bad, maybe history is that Cao Cao is really because among his subordinates, no one can be in charge alone, which makes him have to do every big battle himself. Anyway, from the perspective of Gao Ye now, Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang, who must bow down to everything, are definitely not all the way.
Cao Cao's figure was already far away, and Gao Ye gently patted Feng Ying's head, and Feng Ying also rubbed Gao Ye's hand very obediently. A man and a horse seem to have known each other for a long time and have deep feelings. I don't know if it's really happy with Takaya's new owner, or if it's just because Kazekage is a docile horse.
Speaking of which, although Cao Cao now occupies the land of the four states and has abundant money and grain, the land of these four states is not close to the northern frontier. Jizhou, Bingzhou and other places are in the hands of Yuan Shao, how could Yuan Shao let the Xiongnu's horses fall into the hands of Cao Cao. Therefore, Cao Cao wanted to obtain horses and form cavalry, which was very difficult. Even if it was him, he really couldn't meet a real BMW, so he could only replace it with a slightly worse one. He also has a horse, called Claw Huang Feidian, the whole body is snow-white, only the horse's hooves are yellow, tall and handsome, elegant and luxurious, anyone who sees it must praise a good horse! But anyone who really understands horses knows that this claw Huang Feidian is very luxurious as a guard of honor, but if you want to ride it on the battlefield to kill the enemy, I am afraid that it will be much inferior. After all, it is beautiful, but it is not a war horse such as Chitu and Jueying.
Since Gao Ye's sacrifice of the Absolute Shadow, there is really no good horse in the family that can compare to the Eight Points of the Absolute Shadow, so he pulled out the general and chose the one in Fangcai. Now Cao Cao, in order to show the friendship between himself and Gao Ye, gave Gao Ye the best horse in his hand, and it is impossible to say that he is not happy. For such emotions, Gao Ye really didn't want to use the word invitation to buy people's hearts to describe Cao Cao, after that day's conversation, Gao Ye felt that at least now, I am afraid that there will be more friendship between himself and Cao Cao.
Knowing that Cao Cao's back had completely disappeared, Gao Ye turned over and galloped away. In the past few days of rectifying the soldiers and horses, Zhang Xiu of Wancheng has already sent an urgent report, and Liu Bei of Xinye has brazenly sent troops and is about to come to the city. As for Zhong Xuan in Chang'an, there is no news yet, but considering the speed of information circulation, Gao Ye feels that he is only afraid that the west of Chang'an City is already under Ma Teng's attack.
The battle has begun, Gao Ye, who didn't want to drag on for a moment, stepped up his march, and the soldiers and horses of all counties along the way were moving closer to Gao Ye, and when Gao Ye arrived in Kunyang, 30,000 soldiers and horses were all in the ranks. As a pioneer, Pan Zhang led the soldiers and horses to garrison Bowang, echoing Wancheng from afar. Pan Zhang originally wanted to enter Wancheng directly, but unfortunately there were at least 50,000 Jingzhou troops who came to attack, Wancheng was besieged, Pan Zhang only had 5,000 cavalry, and the casualties of forcibly entering the city would be large. Fortunately, Wancheng is also a strong city, plus there are 30,000 defenders in the city, and the Jingzhou army wants to take Wancheng, if it is suddenly attacked, it may catch Zhang Xiu off guard. But now Zhang Xiu has already prepared, and Gao Ye strictly ordered Zhang Xiu that he must not take the initiative to attack until he arrives, let alone fight in battle. Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are brave, they are helpless in the face of Zhang Xiu, who can't be provoked. Pan Zhang's calmness was because he knew that Wancheng could not be lost, and Gao Ye would arrive soon, and it was precisely because of this that Pan Zhang dared to wait for Gao Ye's arrival in Bowang safely.
Compared with Pan Zhang's calmness, Guangling's road moves are worried at the moment. Although Sun Quan's army had not yet arrived, the 10,000 vanguards led by Jiang Qin were almost in the city. Although Xuzhou is now in ruins, although after two years of peace, the population is still insufficient, and the army is even more scarce. Now the defenders of the generation in Guangling have occupied sixty percent of the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, and it is almost impossible to send troops to help.
And Guangling in order to deal with the Jiangdong soldiers and horses, 20,000 soldiers scattered in the counties, Guangling City adjacent to the Yangtze River, only 8,000 soldiers, a few days ago he listened to Chen Deng's suggestion, the Yangtze River along the fragmentary soldiers and people all withdrew to Guangling City, even so, the city is only 2,000 soldiers and horses a night, but the people are nearly 30,000 more. Now Wang Du has become Sun Quan's bag, and Guangling City is now a soldier and horse facing Jiangdong.
The emergency report has been sent to Yingdu for a long time, but there is no news of reinforcements until now, which makes Lu Zhao very irritable. What made the way even more irritable was that Chen Deng. The soldiers are pressing, but he himself looks like a good wanderer. I heard that he went to eat fish tartch yesterday, and I don't know what confidence he has to be so safe! If it weren't for the fact that the Chen family was a big family in Xuzhou, Cao Cao would have been quite commercial to Chen Deng, and Lu Zhao would have the heart to beat him now.
Seeing that Chen Deng Shi Ran walked into the conference hall, Lu Zhao really couldn't care about greetings, so he grabbed Chen Deng's arm and said: "Yuanlong, the soldiers are all overwhelmed, you are still so leisurely!" The urgent report has been sent out for many days, and there has been no response at all, how can this Guangling be defended, do you have any good way to retreat from the enemy? ”
Chen Deng saw that Lu Zhao was anxious, but he smiled slightly and said, "General Lu, don't be anxious." Yingdu is far away from Xuzhou Road, and the reply must still be on the way, maybe the reinforcements are also on the way. ”
"It's a long way, I don't know it's a long way!" Lu Zhao scratched his head impatiently and said, "But if the reinforcements don't arrive, you and I can only defend to the death!" Speaking of this, Lu Zhao let out two long breaths, and then said in a soft voice: "Yuanlong, you have always been resourceful, and both the lord and Situ have praised you, so there is nothing you can do?" ”
Seeing that the road was like this, Chen Deng really didn't want to continue to tease him, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, what do you think I transferred the soldiers and horses back for?" Seeing that Lu Zhao looked at himself in a daze, Chen Deng didn't sell it, shook his head and said with a smile: "Sun Quan is menacing, and he is determined to win Guangling for me, why not?" Because although he is the lord of Jiangdong at this time, his prestige is not enough to convince the public, so he wants to find a sense of existence from me, Guangling. But his Sun Quan lacked combat experience, and this was the first time he led a large army on an expedition. Helping Sun Bofu take Jiangdong, Zhou Gongjin, who has always been praised by Situ as a peerless warrior, is not on the list, why not? One is because Sun Quan wants to prove himself, and the other is because Sun Quan feels that it is easy to win Guangling.
A few days ago, I asked the general to withdraw all the soldiers and horses of Wangdu, Xingguo, and the people to Guangling, not because I want to clear the wilderness, but to show weakness to the enemy! Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were originally water thieves on the Yangtze River, how could I not know the two of them in Xuzhou for a long time? A typical brave and unscrupulous person! When they see us shrinking our forces, they will inevitably think that our forces are insufficient and our combat strength is even weaker, so they will think that we are going to defend the city to the death!
The soldiers and horses of the two of them will come to the city tomorrow. At that time, as long as the general ordered the city gate to be closed, the banner was silenced, and the enemy was shown to be weak, Chiang and the two would inevitably be careless. But Guangling City is high, with 10,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, they dare not rashly attack the city, they must repay Sun Quan, in order to wait for the arrival of the army. Under the carelessness of the two of them, they will inevitably slack, as long as they slack off, our army can take the opportunity to go out of the city to attack them! Break his vanguard army first, and rub Sun Quan's sharp spirit! ”
Seeing that Chen Deng was full of confidence and confidence, and after thinking carefully about Chen Deng's plan, Lu Zhao suddenly felt confident, and the whole person was not as impatient as he was just now. After all, Chen Deng's plan is not bad, at least with Lu Zhao's brain, he didn't come up with any loopholes. If Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai are killed tomorrow, there is a high probability that this plan will succeed! As long as Jiang and Erren are killed first, Sun Quan's pace of continuing to advance will be slowed down a little, and in this way, it will buy more time for Guangling City.
As for whether Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai can be killed, this road trick is not worried. Although Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai are brave, they are not muddy! Although the Jiangdong soldiers and horses are all elites, but in this Guangling City, there are still 5,000 Yanzhou elites brought by Yuan Shu when they are blocked, and they and themselves suddenly kill, and the Jiangdong soldiers and horses under the carelessness will inevitably be in chaos, and it will become inevitable to repel the Jiangdong pioneers.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhao, who still had a sad face, suddenly laughed, patted Chen Deng's shoulder and laughed: "Yuanlong, there is really you!" This method is good, so it is arranged! As he spoke, he suddenly pretended to be angry and said: "You thought of a plan a few days ago, but you didn't tell me that a person is drinking and eating fish and is so unhappy, leaving me alone here to worry, this account can't be just settled!" ”
Chen Deng suddenly laughed when he heard this: "Don't blame the general, this plan has just come to my mind, just thought of it, I really didn't mean not to tell you." This fish is delicious, it is better to go to the east tonight, please taste it well. The general will go into battle tomorrow to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, so Deng should be regarded as celebrating the general's achievements in advance! ”
"Haha! Okay, I'll also taste it, what kind of delicious taste does it make Yuanlong forget! ”
Everything was as Chen Deng expected, and when Gao Ye met with Pan Zhang, who was Bowang, and led the army to kill Ben Wancheng, a good news had been delivered to Gao Ye! "Chen Deng designed, Lu Zhaoqin led 2,000 soldiers and horses, killed Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai 10,000 vanguard soldiers and horses, and killed more than 1,000 people!" This made Gao Ye sigh, Chen Deng is Chen Deng in the end, this Zhang Liao's reinforcements have not yet arrived, he has won the first merit in dealing with the world's war against Cao!
