CHAPTER 161 The Battle of Will

After a few days, the cold wave of the raid gradually lost its power, the sky began to clear again, and the soldiers of the Cao army on the expedition were comfortably basking in the sun one by one, which was very like a leisurely trip in Hanzhong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Cao held two wild walnuts in his left hand and kept rubbing them, because the imperial doctor once relied on him to often rub the ball, which can activate the meridians, prevent aging, and also help in the treatment of head wind.

The winter sun is warm and shining on his body, it is really indescribably comfortable, Cao Cao couldn't help but look up at the sky, the sun was a little dazzling, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his forehead.

In the sun, the sergeants lazily walked back and forth lightly, or snooze against the barracks, to take away all the cold they had suffered from the previous night.

Seeing that the sergeants seemed to enjoy more than him, Cao Cao's good mood suddenly disappeared, and he was furious and asked Xiahoudun: "What's the matter, are these people coming to Hanzhong to enjoy the mountains and rivers?" Can such an army still fight? ”

Xiahoudun hurriedly told the blind sergeants to hurry up, didn't he see the prime minister coming? He explained to Cao Cao softly: "I was cold a few nights ago, and today they bask in the sun, and I don't care." Prime Minister, we haven't moved for several days, and there are rumors in the army that there will be no more fighting, and we will go back after a while. ”

"Who is spreading rumors and disturbing the morale of the army?" Cao Cao felt that the problem was serious.

Xiahoudun said cautiously: "Prime Minister, there is talk in the army that it has been here for several days, except for the night attack, I don't see the meaning of fighting, and the sergeants will inevitably speculate wildly." Prime Minister, it is better to launch an attack earlier, and the rumors in the army will naturally be broken. ”

"Hmph, haha!" Although Cao Cao understood that it was his own hesitation that led to this situation, he said, "Liu Bei now occupies a dangerous terrain, and if we take the liberty of attacking, we will definitely suffer heavy losses." I'm plotting a plan to break the enemy here, and someone is spreading rumors behind my back. Check it out for me, find out, it must be done by military law! ”

Xiahoudun hurriedly replied: "Yes, I'll go and check." ”

"Wait!" Cao Cao said again, "The herald will listen to the order and immediately launch an attack on Liu Beifang!" These guys, if they don't let them go to war as soon as possible, the rumors will be difficult to stop. ”

Xiahoudun asked in surprise: "The prime minister has already come up with a strategy to break the enemy?" ”

Cao Cao's face sank: "Look for opportunities in actual combat!" Just sitting here and thinking about it, the solution that I came up with is not actually feasible. ”

Cao Yingzhong's generals led the army to open Xiangyang Pingguan. Cao Cao personally sat in the Chinese army with a drumstick in his hand, and beat the cowhide drum loudly, these guys, let you rest for a while, and it was even rumored that Lao Tzu was afraid of death and did not dare to fight Liu Bei, so it was worth it.

When Liu Bei heard the news that Cao Cao's army was overwhelming, he quickly cheered up and ordered the generals to strictly guard against it.

Ma Chao has returned to Yangping Pass from Nanzheng, and he is still followed by the newly descended Chen Yin and Hou Xuan, who came to ask Liu Bei for battle: "The soldiers of Xiliang are willing to drive and kill Xiang Cao Jun in front of the lord, and avenge the revenge in the customs!" ”

Liu Bei was very satisfied and comforted them: "Now our army is defending according to the danger, Meng Qi and the generals will be ready to stand by first, and then wait for the plane to come out." ”

As soon as the team arrived, the generals led their troops to rush to the left and right cottages of the Shu army and Yangping Pass.

The Shu army relied on the favorable terrain, condescending, rolling stones flying on the mountain, and arrows raining down in front of the pass, repelling the first round of crazy attacks of the Cao army.

Cao Jun rested for a moment and launched a second round of upward attacks.

The Shu army continued to resist resolutely, and the Youshan camp Wu Lan and Lei Tongbu even launched a counter-charge. Cao Jun threw down countless corpses and retreated down the mountain in defeat again.

Cao Cao asked Xiahoudun and Xu Chu to fight with swords to supervise the army, and those who retreated were killed!

The two sides fought fiercely for most of the day, and Cao's army suffered heavy casualties. Cao Cao saw that the sergeant was already frightened and had no fighting spirit, so Mingjin withdrew his troops and retreated to the camp.

Cao Cao's face was pale, and the generals and strategists were frightened, not knowing what to do.

Liu Ye bit his upper and lower lipes tightly, and didn't say a word to death, this Cao Cao seems to be a little crazy today, and it is easy to get into trouble if he talks a lot.

Cao Cao gasped, looking at them one by one, his face was heavy, and he was even more angry: "Speak." ”

The soldiers looked at each other and said something.

said that it was a disaster, and Liu Ye almost bit his lip to bleed.

Cao Cao wanted him to say: "Liu Ziyang! I've always been good at planning on weekdays, why don't you talk today? ”

There was no way, Liu Ye said carefully: "Prime Minister, the Shu army occupies a favorable terrain, and a strong attack is not a way, you have to think of a strategy." ”

"What are your plans, but let's hear about it, is it another night attack?" Cao Cao was not angry, and even suspected that Liu Ye had miscalculated in the night attack, and he was afraid of losing face and spread rumors in the army that he would retreat without a fight.

Liu Ye hesitated for a moment before he said: "The terrain in Hanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Liu Beijun is very well guarded. ”

Cao Cao thought this way at the beginning, so he didn't start the war for a long time, and when he heard Liu Ye's analysis was exactly what he intended, his tone eased a lot: "Ziyang, then what do you think is the way to solve this impasse now?" ”

Liu Ye heard Cao Cao's tone a lot more friendly, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It may be much better if we could divide the troops in a few ways, march from the Meridian Valley and Fu Luo Road at the same time, approach Liu Bei and divide the troops and refuse, and make a mistake in the busy." ”

There is no regret medicine in the world, what is the point of you saying this now? Cao Cao felt that Liu Ye wanted to show off again, and urged: "Say something that is useful now!" ”

Liu Ye hurriedly quickened his speech: "I heard that Liu Bei captured Hanzhong this time, and it was because his military advisor Zhuge Liang led Wei Yan to a partial division, crossed mountains and streams, and went around the back of Yang Ang's army, which caused Nanzheng to quickly lose ground." ”

Cao Cao said gloomily: "I have also thought about this method. We have been strong cavalry for many years, and we rarely go to this kind of mountain to fight, where can we find so many soldiers who are good at mountains at one time? And I heard that these people started training in Jingzhou a few years ago, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, these guys, really thought far, and made such careful preparations for Hanzhong at that time. Since they have won with this, it is natural that they will also strengthen their precautions in this regard, and it will be even more difficult for us to succeed. ”

Zhang He had suffered a big loss from these people, and he was also busy at the moment: "Yes, yes, even their clothes are colorful and strange, they are ambushed in the woods and grass, and their bodies will be wrapped with grass branches and leaves, even if you walk in front of them, it will be difficult to find them." I've heard that when they fight Yang Ang, they will put oil paint on their faces and dress up like ghosts. Many of Yang Ang's sergeants were scared away. They also imitate tigers......"

Cao Cao sighed: "People are better than planning early, this method is used to deal with them, I think it's better to forget it for the time being." ”

"Well, you say, since they have such a group of disguised teams, will they be interspersed behind us now?" Cao Cao suddenly thought of this and felt that his heart was beating so hard. (To be continued.) )
