Chapter 27 Each has his own calculations
Seeing Xun Yu running in in a hurry, whether it was Cao Cao or his Wenchen generals, they all looked at him with a confused expression. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info also, now Lu Bu's army has been stationed in a place about five miles north of Xiapi City, and the scouts have come to report, but Lu Bu has not made any moves. The Chen Palace in the city is also closed at this time, and countless guards are arranged at the head of the city, so what danger can he have now?
Moreover, everyone has just analyzed that what Lu Bu did was just to delay the attack of the army, and now he is even more inclined to the next side, focusing on defense rather than attacking. After all, it is winter now, as long as they can delay it for another month or two, when the weather is cold and freezing, according to common sense, they will have to withdraw from the army. Why, is there any other plan that Chen Gong can't do now?
With doubts, Cao Cao immediately spoke: "Gongda, what did you find?" ”
"Hey, didn't the lord notice that the terrain where I was stationed was quite low? This Picheng is high in the east and low in the west, and there are rivers in the south, north, and west, and we are now stationed here, and Lu Bu is on the north side of the riverbank. Xiapi City is even higher and deeper, once Lu Bujun digs Yishui and Surabaya, no matter how many soldiers and horses we have, it will only be food for fish and turtles. Lord, you have to give a quick order to move the camp to another place as soon as possible! ”
Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this: "There is such a thing? ”
Guo Jia on the side also frowned at this time and said: "I see, it turns out that Lu Bujun went out of the city just for this matter!" When Guo Jia said this, he also hurriedly got up and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, now the plan, I should quickly move the camp to another place to resist the attack." This Chen Gongtai is really calculating, he asked Lu Bu to go out of the city and wait for time with us, and on the other hand, he built a big camp in Gefeng Mountain in the northwest of the city, so that I thought he was going to delay time with us. I didn't expect this guy to have such a hand! He must have ordered someone to build a dam on the upper reaches of the riverbank, and was ready to release water to attack it at night. It's winter, and the river is dry, so I didn't think about it. Hey, what a plan to secretly cross Chen Cang, what a Chen Gongtai! ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded and said, "What Feng Xiao said is reasonable, I will immediately withdraw from this place, return to the west of the riverbank, and camp for the time being." The terrain is high, and no matter how strong the current is, it can't be flooded. We should also immediately send troops to find out where his water plan is, as long as the water plan is broken, it will be difficult for Lu Bujun to do anything. ”
Xun You smiled at this moment: "Now that Chen Gong wants to attack by water, but I don't know that if the big water can't flood us, it will flood Picheng!" My lord, we can now release our men and horses to hunt down and kill a large number of enemy scouts. On the other hand, the generals should immediately begin to expand the camp, especially the camp in the east, and build it well. ”
Guo Jia couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Gongda is really calculating!" Cao Cao on the side looked at Guo Jia, who had already understood, but he was still a little puzzled in his heart. Chen Palace is about to release water, everyone still hasn't transferred, why are you building a camp? But even Guo Jia praised it as a clever plan, and it must not be bad if you think about it.
Seeing Xun You hear this, he just chuckled and said: "Those who know me will also be filial piety." Lord, as Feng Xiao said, after all, it is a dry season, and the amount of water is not abundant. At this time, Picheng is high in the east and low in the west, even if Chen Gong digs Surabaya and Yishui, I can't see the land in the east of the city. In Chen Gong's view, it was a suspicious tactic, so that he couldn't tell where the main force was. But for us, it's ......"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this: "The virtual is real, and the real is virtual." On the surface, we were suspicious of the army, but in fact we placed the army at the east gate. When the time comes, Xiapi City will be flooded on three sides, and we will intercept it at the east gate, can Lu Bu's army be undefeated? Gongda is really a good plan! ”
"Yes, as long as Chen Gong releases the water, he will dig his own grave!" Guo Jia even opened his mouth and said with a smile, "When the time comes, as long as we leave a small number of soldiers and horses here, and the army will go to encircle and suppress Lu Bu, we will definitely be victorious, so what is there to worry about?" ”
"Haha, okay, come on, quickly pass on my military order......"
It was night, and Chen Gongtai at the head of the city looked confused. Cao Cao's army has been frantically expanding the camp since noon. Obviously, there are only 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the camp is about to be built as if there are millions of troops. This point, at first, really made Chen Gong a little confused. However, after careful consideration, Chen Gong felt that Cao Jun's behavior was purely full of food. I don't know how many soldiers and horses you have, so what's the use of doing such a suspicious plan? You don't want me to know where your main force will be when you siege the city, but even if you attack the city, there are still 40,000 soldiers and horses in my city, and 10,000 people on one side, which is enough for you to drink a pot. Such a shallow plan is also worthy of being played off in front of my Chen Gongtai? Look at me digging the river today, so that you can eat all the food in the belly of the fish and turtles! Even if someone escapes by chance, as soon as Wenhou's soldiers and horses arrive, this battle can be decided!
I just don't know what's going on with Miss. I have asked people to persuade her several times, and for the sake of the great cause of the lord, it is better to succumb to Yuan Shu. Otherwise, if this plan fails, there is no foreign aid, and I am afraid that this battle will not be able to return to the sky. But the current situation is okay to say, if it really comes to the end of the mountain, even if you tie up, you have to send the young lady to Hexi!
Seeing that it was already the third watch, I had just observed all the castles on all sides, although judging from the smoke of the cooking, the soldiers on all sides were roughly equal. However, judging from the torches raised by the patrolmen, Cao Cao must be in the western camp at this moment. Not only because Cao Cao's big tent was there, but also because both the number of patrols and the number of people there were more frequent than the other three sides.
Look at the time, it's almost time to release the water as agreed, as long as Cao Cao can be drowned, there is hope for victory in this battle! Wait a minute, wait a little longer, whether this battle can be won or not, at this time, it depends on whether Cao Xing's water can be released smoothly!
Before a stick of incense had passed, the rumbling sound of water had already reached Chen Gong's ears. After a while, Chen Gong, standing at the head of the West Gate City, could even feel the water vapor from the shop. The water roared, and it rushed straight into the camp of the Cao army. Although I don't know what the north side of the first attack looks like, but here in Xiying, it is now an ocean.
Speaking of which, this is also thanks to the unique topography of Xiapi City, high in the northeast and low in the southwest, Yishui comes from the north of Xiapi City, passes through the west of Xiapi City, intersects with Surabaya in the south of Xiapi City, and finally flows into the Huai River. Such unique geographical conditions doomed Cao Cao's army, which besieged Xiapicheng, to have no power to fight back in the face of the monstrous water. Now it's good, a big flood has flooded Cao Cao's camp, and I don't know if Cao Cao in his sleep has been washed away by the water. Chen Gong thought of this, and his gloomy face, which had been in the past few days, finally had a hint of joy.
Now receiving the reward of the guards of the city, except for Cao Cao's camp outside the east gate, which is safe and sound, the other three sides are all engulfed in the flood. Now the only remaining Cao camp in the east is also in a panic, and it seems to have the appearance of a bombing camp. Chen Gong was even more overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered: "Order, when the upstream water slows down, then the troops will go out of the east gate, and ask the sons and daughters to cheer up and burn the Cao army camp, this battle is the victory of our army!" ”
"Whoa!"
Above the city, I could hear the noisy sound in Cao's camp, and in the moonlight, I could see the figure of people fleeing, and I heard the soldiers coming to report that the water flow had slowed down in the Chen Palace, and then ordered that 5,000 soldiers and horses immediately attack the camp of Cao's army. Although the order has been issued, Chen Gong still sighed slowly, this big water, if it can be in the summer, I am afraid that Cao Jun's camp will also be submerged in the water. Unfortunately, it's winter and the water isn't abundant, so it's not easy to do this.
But then again, with Cao Cao's ability, if it was in the summer, how could he camp so easily outside Xiapi City, and also set up a big camp with such a big flaw? In the final analysis, it is the result that his Cao Cao is not as wise as my Chen Palace, after this battle, I want to come to the world to hear the name of my Chen Palace and bow down.
For a while, Chen Gong's thoughts had already flown away, and it was not until the shouting of killing started that he came to his senses. But Chen Gong, who came to his senses, was really taken aback. The battle situation in front of him seems to be completely different from what he thought, and it stands to reason that Cao Jun should have panicked at this moment, and the six gods have no master. In the face of a surprise attack of 5,000 soldiers and horses, no matter how elite the Cao army is, it should not be able to organize such a strong counterattack at this moment. Five thousand soldiers and horses, they can see clearly in the moonlight, and now they are outside the gate of the camp, and they are inseparable from Cao Jun.
On the other side, in the camp of Cao Jun, since he heard the sound of rumbling water, Cao Cao could no longer sleep. If Xun Yu hadn't discovered it early this time, I was afraid that I would have been caught up in this rolling torrent at this moment. However, it is obvious that the people in the big tent now have a relaxed face. Also, after this big flood, it is difficult for Chen Gong and Lu Bu to have the strength to return to heaven. The battle of Xuzhou has been fought for nearly three months, and now it is finally coming to an end, how can everyone not be happy?
Everything is going according to plan, whether it is the blinding of the other three camps, or the panic in the east camp after the arrival of the water, it is under everyone's control. Even the soldiers and horses that Chen Gong came to attack the camp were within the expectations of Xun You and others. Now in the camp, although the soldiers are pretending to be chaotic, at the gate of the camp, there are not only the Tiger Guards led by Xu Chu, but also the soldiers and horses of Li Dian and Le Jin on both sides in ambush. As long as someone dares to attack the camp, it is guaranteed that he will not return!
As the shouting of killing started, the shouting of killing fell. The Chen Palace at the head of the city was on the verge of collapse at this moment. I thought I could win in one fell swoop, but judging from the situation in front of me, I thought that I had fallen for Cao Cao's tricks again, and I fell short. Alas, it seems that the eldest lady's trip to Huainan is not to go!
Cao Cao, who was also listening to the shouts of killing, laughed loudly in the big tent at this moment: "Everyone, tonight's matter has been decided, let's go back and rest." Tomorrow, I'll go to meet that Chen Gongtai again! ”
