Chapter 25 The plan is calculated
The battle of Puyang in history can be described as a series of twists and turns. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Cao Cao, who was anxious to recover Yanzhou, although he conquered Dingtao and Juye one after another, but outside Puyang City, he was defeated and retreated thirty miles. Then Cao Cao felt that Lu Bu was proud of victory and would be defenseless, and then attacked Puyang Xisai at night, who knew that he was seen through by Chen Gong, and a big battle came down, if it weren't for Le Jin and Dian Wei, Cao Cao would have died there.
Then it was this Puyang Tian clan, who used deception as an internal response to lead Cao Cao Rucheng. Cao Cao was in Puyang City, rushing left and right, unable to evacuate. It may also be that Cao Cao was destined to die, and he finally found Dian Wei and fled from the east gate. It is said that a very interesting thing happened in the middle, Cao Cao was rushing to the north gate when he was bumping into the oncoming Lu Bu. However, in the midst of the fire, Cao Cao's face was black and white, and Lu Bu was anxious to kill Cao Cao, but he really didn't recognize the person in front of him as Cao Cao for a while. Instead, he shouted and asked, "Where is Cao Cao?" Cao Cao pointed forward and said, "The one who rides the yellow horse is Cao Cao." When Lu Bu heard this, he hurriedly chased after him, which allowed Cao Cao to escape with his life.
After this fire, Cao Cao also planned to say that he was burned to death. The whole army hangs filial piety and mourns, and everything is as if it were true. Cao Cao ordered the army to ambush around the barracks, and Lu Bu really led the army to sneak attack, but fell into Cao Cao's ambush, suffering heavy casualties. At this point, the battle has officially entered the stalemate phase. Moreover, in the autumn, the locust plague broke out, and the people of Dongjun fought for fifty pounds of rice, and the two armies ran out of food, so they had to temporarily stop the army.
These are just a piece of history for themselves in later generations. But for me now, it's something that could happen right away. Especially in the section where the Tian family surrendered, Chen Gong wanted to use this trick to plot against Cao Cao, and now why can't Cao Cao use this trick to plot Puyang?
Gao Ye has been meditating with his eyes closed now, and when he thought of the thrilling meeting between Cao Cao and Lu Bu, he even couldn't help laughing, and looked at Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others who were still discussing on the side.
"Mingxi, what do you think?" Cao Cao saw Gao Ye laughing, and guessed in his heart that Gao Ye must have a plan at this time, so he asked. Gao Ye was suddenly awakened from his fantasy by Cao Cao's question, only to see everyone looking at him, and couldn't help but smile: "I just thought about things and fell into a daze, everyone continues to discuss, don't worry about me." ”
"Mingxi, you should change this problem, every time you think about it, you get distracted. I see you smiling happily, let's talk about it, what do you think of this letter from the Tian family? ”
"Hmph, Chen Gong is such a small plan, and he dares to show his ugliness." Gao Ye shook his head and laughed, and then continued, "If you want to use a trick to lure the lord into the city, it is too much to underestimate the talents under the lord's account." Gao Ye said, swiping his fingers over Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun You and others, and then continued to laugh: "Then Chen Gong's military tactics seem to be nothing more than that." ”
As soon as Gao Ye's words came out, Chen Gong was simply degraded to the extreme. Especially when Gao Ye made it clear that this was definitely Chen Gong's plan, he even made Xun Yu on the side nod again and again, he just spoke, worried that this was Chen Gong's plan, but he couldn't be sure, and Cao Cao couldn't make up his mind, so he decided to believe Tian's internal response for the time being. However, now that he has Gao Ye's support, Xun You naturally nodded again and again, and then said: "What Ming Xi said coincides with what he said. If the lord wants to go, he should be more careful. ”
"Mingxi, why do you think there is fraud in this?" Cao Cao opened his mouth and asked, "Although I, Fengxiao, and Gongda are also so worried, but if the Tian family really dedicates the door, wouldn't I miss the opportunity if I can't wait?" Moreover, he returned by probing horses, and Zang Ba led his troops out of the west of the city, with more than 10,000 people. Therefore, Feng Xiao just proposed that I divide three teams of soldiers and horses, one team into the city, and the remaining two teams will respond outside the city. ”
"Hey, lord, don't you want to know who this Tian clan is? Although I am in Yingchuan, I can hear of the Dongjun Tian clan, but I am just a snob. If the lord has the upper hand now, Lu Bu's army is in danger, and he Tian is willing to steal the gate and sacrifice the city, I still quite believe it. Because he flattered the lord, he didn't have to worry about Lu Bu's revenge. But now Lu Bu is guarding the city, and our army is still between being invincible and undefeated. Even if the lord led troops into the city, once a street battle started, could he really drive Lu Bu away at once? The situation is so unclear, why does this Tian family want to dedicate the door? Could it be that in just ten days, Lu Bu can toss him to the point where he has to rebel? If this is the case, why didn't Lu Bu kill him directly, wouldn't it be more convenient to take all the grain and grass produced by his family. ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded, and then said: "I'll just say that something is wrong, yes, this Tian family has always been a snob, and it is absolutely impossible to do this for no reason." Speaking of which, none of us who have met with the Tian family thought of this, but Mingxi saw it thoroughly, haha! ”
"Don't forget, the Tian family is also a wealthy businessman in Yanzhou, and the Yingchuan Chamber of Commerce has a lot to deal with him, how can I not understand this person? Moreover, as he said in his letter, Zang Ba led his troops to Liyang to carry grain and grass. That Liyang is Yuan Shao's territory, and there is no one to stop us along the way. Even if Yuan Shao could give Lu Bu grain and grass, why did he need 20,000 people to get it. This Chen Gong, in order to lure me into being deceived, has inevitably gone a little too far. ”
"Mingxi is right." Xun Yu on the side nodded even more and said, "Then Yuan Shao is not stupid, he needs 20,000 people to escort the grain and grass, and he can't think of less than 100,000 stones." If Lu Bu has 100,000 stones of grain and grass in his hands, I think he will be equally unstable in Jizhou. Yuan Shao is now bent on seeking Youzhou, how can he not guard against Lu Bu? In this way, this must be a plan! The lord needs no longer be suspicious. ”
"However, although it is a plan, it is not impossible to calculate it." Guo Jia smiled faintly on the side.
"Oh? Will Feng Xiaoji be released? ”
"Although this Puyang City is large, it is different from Yingyin, there is no urn city here. Chen Gong's plan was intended to kill the lord, so it was impossible for the lord to be attacked at the city gate. He had to wait for the lord to enter the city, so that he could set fire and attack in all directions. ”
"Yes, but in this way, even if our army enters the city, it will also be ambushed, and the more people who enter the city, the greater the losses of our army. If you want to make the fake come true and attack Puyang, I'm afraid it's not easy. ”
"The most important thing about a sneak attack is that it is unprepared. Now that we have seen through Chen Gong's strategy, and the army is prepared, why are we afraid of Lu Bu's army? The lord can take the captain and my eldest brother to the camp, enter the city together, and pretend to be in the middle of the plan. Since Chen Gong is ambushed in the city, the city gate must be unprepared. The eldest brother and the time can wait at the city gate, once Chen Gong moves, the eldest brother will quickly lead people to seize the other city gates, and then the army will directly enter, and threaten Lu Bu and Chen Gong to flee. Under the chaos, how can Lu Bujun know? 50,000 against 50,000, when the time comes, it will inevitably take Puyang in one go. ”
Gao Ye couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "Although Fengxiao's plan is good, it's just a little bit, let the lord be the bait, this risk is a bit big." ”
"Eh, Mingxi, I, Cao Mengde, was also killed in the battlefield, this danger, what a point. What's more, with Mingxi's trapping camp under you, and Dian Wei and Gao Shun are here, you will definitely be able to protect me. Cao Cao laughed and said, "Fengxiao's plan is wonderful, we will act in turn, and this time we will definitely take Puyang in one go." The congregation will obey the order! ”
In his letter, Nada once said that he would plant a white flag on the city gate after he was ready, and the word 'righteousness' in the big book was a code. When Cao Cao came from here, he immediately opened the door and dedicated the city. All of Cao Cao's reactions, in the eyes of the Chen Palace in the city, were exactly the same as he expected, not only did he personally walk around the city, but also after Wei Xu went out of the city to fight with him, he met with the people he sent to surrender. Today, it is the appointed time, Chen Gong secretly thought: Hmph, Cao Caojun is just like this.
Everything was just like Chen Gong's plan, Cao Cao was so easy to fall for it, even Lu Bu couldn't help but be overjoyed. Zang Ba's men and horses have now reached a position about thirty miles northeast of Puyang City, although when he left the city, he was heading to the west, but this was just a trick that Chen Gong had already arranged. Today's Zang Ba has already come full circle and gone around to the east of Puyang, just waiting for Puyang to catch fire, he will immediately rush back and kill Cao Cao's camp.
The time was approaching, and Lu Bu had already arranged the army in ambush, and as long as Cao Cao entered the encirclement, he must not be allowed to return alive. As for himself, he was waiting for the good news of the generals in the county government with Chen Gong. Sure enough, a soldier came to report, and Cao Cao really led the army and entered through the west gate. It's just quite careful, he brought two thousand soldiers and horses into the city, and at the city gate, there are Gao Ye with soldiers to guard, looking cautious, and he can't help but make Lu Bu a little worried, this Cao Cao, won't he see something, right?
"Don't worry, lord." Chen Gong saw Lu Bu standing up, and then chuckled and said, "Then if Cao Mengde leads the troops straight in, I will still have some doubts." Cao Cao knew the soldiers, and he was even more suspicious, and he let Gao Ye guard the retreat, which was just a normal careful care. Anyway, when he entered the city with 2,000 men, he would be ambushed by the four generals Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, and Hao Meng. ”
"Well, since that's the case, then I'll wait a little longer."
Not long after, Lu Bu suddenly heard shouts of killing outside the yamen, and hurriedly walked out of the hall with Chen Gong. I saw a fire in the west, and the shouting of killing was even more amazing. Chen Gong laughed and said, "Lord, now Cao Mengde is in a plan!" The four generals surrounded Cao Mengde and made him unable to escape. In this way, Yanzhou is in hand, and the palace congratulates the general first. ”
"Haha, we can have this big victory thanks to Mr.'s planning." Lu Bu was in a happy mood at this time, and he actually called Mr. Chen Gong for a while, seeing the smile on Chen Gong's face, and then said: "If Mingxi goes to the rescue, I'm afraid that something will change, I'll go to the West Gate to stop him, so as to make it all right!" ”
