Chapter 20: Raid on Xuzhou

Wei Xu, who knew the plan, was also shocked at this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info How high Zhang Fei's ability is, as long as you look at the injuries on Hou Cheng's body, you can see the clues. Although his martial arts are higher than those of Hou, they are also limited in their heights. He can be injured by Zhang Fei Sanhe, even if he really fights with Zhang Fei, how many times can he last? Moreover, now that he has fallen into the tricks of the Cao army, it is only right to retreat quickly.

Therefore, Wei Xu did not pay any attention to Zhang Fei who rushed over, but instead fled on horseback, and while fleeing, he ordered the whole army to retreat. It's just that the Cao army, which has been in ambush for a long time, how can the five thousand soldiers and horses of Wei Xu be easily retreated? Zhang Fei rushed to kill, that is, Wei Xu ran fast, so he didn't die in Zhang Fei's hands, and after he panicked and escaped three or five miles outside Cao's camp, there were only hundreds of soldiers left around him. Wei Xu, who fled in a panic, hurriedly identified the direction, and then rushed to Xiao County. After walking for a short time, I only heard the sound of shouting and killing, and I was even more frightened. walked all the way back to Xiao County, but did not meet the Song military soldiers.

was in doubt, and finally rushed back to Xiao County, and then said loudly: "I'm Wei Xu, open the door quickly!" "The barracks of Zhang Fei and Cao Chun were originally stationed west of Xiao County. When Wei Xu's army was defeated, he panicked, but this time he came back from the north gate. I saw that at this time, the city was still full of their own flags, and I was a little determined in my heart, and at this moment there was a pawn on the city, leaning out, and then shouted: "Sure enough, it's General Wei, hurry, open the city gate!" ”

Wei Xu was a little settled in his heart, and when he saw the door slowly open, he even entered with a horse. How do you know that when you enter the city, you only listen to an order, and the arrows rain down, how can Wei Xu not know that he has been calculated? Urgently order the whole army to withdraw from the city gates. Before the order was given, only one person shouted: "Cao Chun is here, the thief will take his life!" ”

said that this Cao Chun had been pretending to be at odds with Zhang Fei for these days and deceived the people in Xiao County. Zhang Fei even obeyed Guo Jia's plan, did arrogant things, and looked drunk all day long, and scolded Wutiancheng in a row, which can be regarded as arousing the heart of Wei's continued attack on the camp. Therefore, the scouts who had been keeping an eye on the four gates of Xiao County sent the information back to the big tent when Wei Xu's soldiers and horses came out of the west gate, and Zhang Fei and Cao Chun immediately divided their troops, and Zhang Fei ambushed them in the camp, and Cao Chun came to Xiao County to break the enemy.

Cao Chun, who originally wanted to defraud the city, didn't think that Song Xian would actually go out of the city to rescue. Where did he understand the relationship between Song Xian and Wei Xu, in such a situation, how could Song Xian sit still? Moreover, this was something that the two had already agreed on, so as soon as Wei Xu was ambushed in the Cao army camp, Song Xian hurriedly arranged for the deputy general Hao Sheng to defend the city, and he took 10,000 soldiers and horses and hurried to the Cao army camp.

Seeing such a good opportunity, Cao Chun immediately made a decision and directly attacked the city. The deputy general, who had just walked down the city tower, was really shocked by Cao Chun's sudden blow. is a huge Xiao County, and Cao Chun has just one meal in his hands. At this time, Zhang Fei had already beaten away Wei Xu and had already killed the camp. Song Xian himself had not yet led his troops to the camp, when he heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing from the direction of Xiao County. Song Xian, who was anxious to return to the army, was bumping into Zhang Fei, who was a killer, and was killed by him, so he was naturally defeated.

Cao Chun took Xiao County, and naturally immediately ordered his men and horses to rush to the city gates to set up defenses. The 5,000 defenders of the city, excluding the dead and wounded, surrendered. Cao Chun calmly designed this, and when he received Wei Xu's call to the north gate, he brought Wei Xu into the city, and then set up an ambush.

Poor Wei Xu overnight, even in two volts, although Cao Chun's martial arts do not have to be brave, but not worse than him Wei Xu, Wei Xu fought in the middle of the night, ran for half the night, and suddenly ambushed, where is Cao Chun's opponent, but Shihe, Cao Chun bought a flaw, flashed Wei Xu's big knife, and punched Wei Xu's face, which knocked Wei Xu off the horse.

Cao Chun shouted: "Tie up!" Immediately, a soldier rushed over, and Wei Xu, who was knocked off the horse by Cao Chun, came to tie up with a big flower. The rest of Wei Xu's subordinates saw that Wei Xu was captured, and they also abandoned their weapons and surrendered. When it was dawn, Zhang Fei, who had defeated Song Xian, led his troops into Xiao County, and when they saw Cao Chun, both of them laughed. Immediately sent someone to immediately report the good news in front of Cao Cao's account.

However, it was said that Cao Cao fought with Lu Bu on the first day, but in the next few days, there was no real battle with Lu Bu. Cao Cao has only waited for the Xiao County military report these days, so that Lu Bu will be in a mess, and he will have a good chance to take advantage of it. But what Cao Cao didn't expect was that he hadn't waited for the good news from Xiao County, but he had waited for a letter from a person, a letter that made him very happy, because Chen Deng in the letter said a sentence: "Please send a general to take over Xuzhou!" ”

After Cao Cao received the letter, he did not hide it from Liu Bei, but gathered everyone to come to discuss. Not to mention that Liu Bei was shocked for a while, but Xun You smiled after reading the letter: "This Chen Yuanlong will choose the opportunity, it is estimated that he heard that Yide had been drinking for days, so he saw through Fengxiao's plan." Fortunately, this person has already served the lord, otherwise Yide and Zihe would be in danger now. However, now there is only one Hou Cheng in Xuzhou City, and there is the Chen family as the internal response, and the lord should send the general to lead the army immediately and occupy Xuzhou City. ”

Liu Bei on the side was really surprised at this time, Chen Deng, who also knew that the children of the Xuzhou family also had great talents. I have met him once, and he is really not an ordinary person. I didn't expect such a great talent to take refuge in Cao Cao's army a long time ago? And he saw through Guo Jia's trick at a glance, but it's a pity that such a talent can't be used by me!

Cao Cao on the side said with a smile: "Gongda's words are very good, but if you want to bypass Lu Bu and attack Xuzhou, you must not bring too many soldiers and horses." If Lu Bu returns to the army and storms Xuzhou, what can he do? ”

Xun You smiled when he heard this: "Lord, then Lu Bu sent the grain, grass, and family to Xiapi, if Xuzhou City is occupied by our army, Lu Bu will definitely not attack, and the lord can rest assured." ”

Guo Jia also nodded when he heard this: "What Gongda said is good, when the time comes, there is Xuzhou City Gaochi Shen in front of him, and there is a lord chasing soldiers soon, how can he fall in love with war?" What's more, I heard from my eldest brother that Lu Bu is the most important person for his family, and now that his family members are all in Xiapi, he has no reason to attack at all. Coupled with the abundant grain and grass in Xiapi City, and the proximity to Huainan, I think he will inevitably go south to Xiapi and give up Xuzhou. In this way, our army can deal with Lu Bu on the one hand, and eliminate Langya's Zang Ba by the way, so that Xuzhou can be determined! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded yes, and then ordered: "Zilong, you take five thousand cavalry and rush to Xuzhou in the starry night." When the time comes, cooperate with Yuanlong and take Xuzhou City. If Lu Bu returns to the army, he only needs to defend, and there is no need to worry. Yuanlong is a talented person, and he has a lot to discuss with him. Cao Cao was still giving orders in front, but it became a sincere teaching, Zhao Yun received the order while saying: "Don't worry, the lord knows." ”

In the city of Xuzhou, Song Xian, who had just been defeated and retreated, was also full of vicissitudes at this time. In the lobby, Hou Cheng was on top, and Song Xian sat under him, even more silent. Chen Deng on the side looked like he was thinking with his eyes closed. Hou Cheng and Song Xian didn't dare to disturb at this time. However, Zhao Yun outside the city had already set up camp, and today he came to fight, which made Hou Cheng and Song Xian feel anxious.

Thinking about the time on the city wall, Zhao Yun shouted that the two of them surrendered, and even said: "Now that Lu Fengxian's army has been defeated and Chen Gong has died in the chaos, you will not surrender early, let alone when!" After all, an arrow shot the rope on the banner of the word "Lu" on the head of the city, and the banner fell to the ground in response, how could the army not be shocked?

Don't talk about other people, it's Hou Cheng and Song Xian, don't they also look at each other? With such a long distance and such an accurate archery, even if it is compared with Lu Bu, it is not much better! Therefore, the two had to call Chen Deng and come to discuss.

After a while, Chen Deng suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Two generals, what Zhao Yun said, according to Deng, I am afraid that it is just a lie." Even if the lord's army is defeated, will not a single soldier be defeated and return to my Xuzhou City? Today, I saw that Zhao Yun did not have many soldiers and horses, and I thought that after General Song lost Xiao County, the first brigade of Cao's army was just a division. ”

"It's just that Zhao Yun has always been brave, and the two of us are definitely not opponents. Now that he is in the city, what is Mr. Chen's plan to retreat from the enemy? ”

"There is only one, surrender."

"Chen Deng, what are you talking about!" When Song Xian heard this, he stood up, and pointed at Chen Deng with a halberd and said angrily, and Hou Cheng on the side also said with an unkind face: "Over the years, the lord has treated me and the two of us like a mountain, how can we betray the lord?" ”

Chen Deng said in his heart Sure enough, it is absolutely impossible for these two people to surrender, and then he smiled and said: "Who said that they really surrendered, I mean, the two generals can surrender by fraud." The general can order someone to hold my Xuzhou official seal and go to Cao Jun to ask for surrender, then Zhao Yun will definitely accept it. However, this person is brave, when he is in the trench and trap in the city, and after Zhao Yun enters the city, he falls into the trap, and we will shoot him with arrows! ”

"Brilliant plan!" Hou Cheng praised when he heard this, and Song Xian on the side also nodded frequently, "It's just that who can do this trick?" ”

"If it is entrusted to others, there will be omissions. That Zhao Yun is not only Gao Ye's righteous brother, but also a cautious person. I think I can let my father work hard, according to my father's wisdom, coupled with his age, Zhao Yun will believe it. ”

Hou Cheng and Song Xian were immediately overjoyed: "This will trouble the old man."

Chen Jue went out of the city in the evening, and Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Chen Deng were all in the county government and sat down all the time. The three of them were waiting for the results brought back by Chen Jue, and the atmosphere was depressed for a while, and the three of them had nothing to say. That Chen Qi is now close to old age, and he has to run around for their conspiracy, seeing Chen Deng's face full of entanglement, Hou Cheng and the others are also unbearable for a while. It's just that how did they know that Chen Deng's face was just to hide his excited heart?

The sky was dark, Chen Jue finally returned to Xuzhou, bluntly said that Zhao Yun had been surrendered, and decided to enter the city tomorrow, asking the three of them to prepare early. Chen Deng immediately said that Hou Cheng should be moved, and let him and Song Xian meet Zhao Yun outside the city together tomorrow, so as to lure him into the city. He led people to ambush on the urn city, preparing to shoot Zhao Yun. Chen Deng also specially told the two of them to let Zhao Yun enter the city first, lest the two of them also fall into the pit.

"Mr. Chen, success or failure is in this move, if you can kill Zhao Yun, this battle should be Mr.'s first merit!" Hou Cheng said.
