Chapter 225: The Empty City is a Plan
Boom!
Sun Ce angrily drew his saber and stabbed it into the dirt.
"What a Zhuge Liang!"
Sun Ce was extremely unwilling in his heart, and said indignantly.
"Gong Jin, build a warship quickly, I want to fight with Cao Cao on this Yellow River." Sun Ce stood up abruptly and raised his head to the sky and shouted.
Zhou Yu grabbed Sun Ce, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Bo Fu can't, at this time the tiger prison is broken, Cao Cao must have no intention of fighting, it won't be long before the class will return to the dynasty, and then we will cross the Yellow River again, but we can get twice the result with half the effort." ”
Zhou Yu said as he observed Sun Ce's face, saw his frowning brows, and continued: "Bo Fu, think about it. That Zhuge Liang raised 100,000 troops, and he was able to break the tiger prison known as a natural danger in such a short period of time, and he will inevitably suffer a lot of losses.
And my Soochow army, so far, is almost unharmed. When Cao Cao retreats, we will take the opportunity to capture the city, so that we can save our troops, and then we can let Liu Bei's army and Cao Cao's army consume.
There is a saying that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind! ”
Sun Ce's brows stretched, shook off the previous indignation, grabbed Zhou Yu's hand excitedly, and laughed: "I have Gongjin, why worry about big things?" Ahaha......"
As Zhou Yu expected, although Xiao Shu won the Tiger Prison Pass, Shi Lian deserved to be the brave general of the world, even if the Tiger Prison was broken, he still relied on the streets and alleys within the Tiger Prison Pass to start a tug-of-war with Xiao Rate.
This greatly surprised Xiao Shu, and the two armies immediately started a street battle in the Tiger Prison Pass.
Xiao Rate's 100,000 troops lost 23/10 of this battle, and finally under Xiao Rate's strategy, Shi Lian was surrounded in three or four streets and alleys.
Xiao Shu saw that Shi Lian was a rare talent, with outstanding military talent, and he had the heart to accept it.
After surrounding Shi Lian, Xiao sent a lobbyist to persuade Shi Lian to surrender to Liu Bei, but the lobbyist not only failed to complete the task, but was driven back.
The lobbyist brought back a sentence: There is only Shi Lian who is standing and dying, and there is no Shi Lian who is kneeling and living.
Xiao Shu sighed in his heart: Cao Cao not only knows how to use soldiers, but also knows how to control people.
"The whole army listened to the order, made a way, and let General Shi leave."
Shi Lian's loyalty and courage deeply touched Xiao Shu, and Xiao Shu couldn't bear to kill him like this and let him go.
However, what shocked Xiao Rate was that after some of the wounded soldiers left, there were still dozens of soldiers who followed Shi Lian's generosity and righteousness, and forged the word 'loyalty' with blood.
Xiao Shu and Shi Lian fought fiercely in this Tiger Prison Pass for more than half a month, and now Shi Lian is righteous, Xiao Shuo's heart is full of pain, and he ordered the whole army to repair here, and buried Shi Lian.
This delay has been half a month.
On this day, Xiao Shu suddenly asked Xu Shu and Chen Gong, "Is there any change in Sun Ce?" ”
Chen Gong shook his head: "Sun Ce took advantage of Cao Cao's retreat, crossed the Yellow River at night, quickly occupied Guandu, and without spending a single soldier, he took advantage of the situation to subdue Dongjun, Beihai, and Beiping, which can be described as monstrous. ”
Xiao Rate nodded, they are quite good at finding fighters, but these cities will have to vomit sooner or later.
"The whole army listens to the order, today the third watch cooks, the fifth watch pulls out the camp, and the troops are sent to Luoyang!"
Now that Cao Cao's general trend has gone, if he doesn't make a move in the north, it will only cheapen Dongwu in vain.
Xiao led the troops, and the defenders of Handan City surrendered, and overnight they went down to Puyang and Pingyuan, and approached the old capital Luoyang.
And when Xiao led his troops to Luoyang City, he actually held high the white flag on the city wall and opened the door to surrender, which surprised Xiao Shu, how could Cao Cao even give up resistance?
Isn't there still Xun Yu by his side?
Xiao Shu grabbed a minister and asked, "Where is Cao Cao?" ”
The minister shook his head and didn't know, and asked several times in a row, but Xiao Shu didn't get Cao Cao's whereabouts.
Ran away?
This is the only thought in Xiao Shu's heart, he couldn't imagine that Cao Cao, who was a hero, would fall to the end of running away.
When Xiao Shu sighed, a personal soldier hurriedly reported: "Military division, Sun Ce's army has been less than thirty miles outside the city. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Shu's brows furrowed, and suddenly his heart tightened, not good! He actually fell for Cao Cao's tricks, he wanted to let himself fight to the death with Sun Ce, and deliberately gave up Luoyang.
"Hurry back! Get out of the city. Xiao Shu knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted loudly.
Xiao Shu gave an order here, and saw a personal soldier covered in blood, and came with big strides: "Military division, it's not good, many soldiers have appeared in the city, closed the city gate, and are fighting with us. ”
"What?"
Xiao Shu exclaimed in surprise, looking at this pro-soldier in disbelief.
Xu Shu and Chen Gong on the side were shocked, now that Sun Ce's army of 300,000 is coming, and his own side has less than 100,000 horses, how can he compete with it?
"Military division, it's better to concentrate your forces and break out of the encirclement." Chen Gong said.
Xiao Rate shook his head: "It's too late, it's a good move to drive away wolves and fight tigers, Xun Yu is forcing us to face Sun Ce!" ”
"Sir, now hurry up and send a general to rush out of the city and pass Ma Chao into the city. In addition, he was willing to be a messenger and delay Sun Ce. Xu Shu on the side hugged his fist.
Xiao Shu slowly closed his eyes, Xu Shu's words could be tried, but as soon as he went, if there was any danger, it would definitely be worth the loss.
"Pass the order, open the east gate, and I will personally go to meet Sun Ce and Zhou Yu for a while. In addition, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Xu Chu, the three of you must exterminate the rebels in the city as soon as possible. Xiao Shu suddenly opened his eyes and said in a shocking voice.
"No!"
As soon as Xiao Shuo's words fell, Chen Gong hurriedly spoke out to stop him.
"Strategist, how can you not have a protector by your side, what if this is ......"
Chen Gong's words were not finished, but the meaning expressed could not be more obvious.
Xiao Shu waved his hand and said helplessly: "Do what I say." ”
Xiao Shu said, only took ten personal soldiers and went to the East City Gate.
'Da Da Da Da'
There was a hurried sound of horses' hooves, and it was Sun Ce's 300,000 army.
At this time, Xiao Shu stood on top of the war horse, followed by the ten horsemen, and behind him was the open city gate, and the city looked empty.
This situation made Sun Ce and Zhou Yu stop their horses' hooves, and the two sides were two miles away.
"Gong Jin, what tricks is this Zhuge Liang playing?" Sun Ce stared behind Xiao Shu, looked at the empty city, and asked with some uncertainty.
What he wasn't sure about was whether there would be ambushes in the city, and if he attacked rashly, he was afraid that he would fall for Xiao Yu's strategy.
Zhou Yu shook his head: "The ghost knows! ”
Zhou Yu stretched his neck and looked at the city, thinking in his heart, how could Zhuge Liang dare to be so bold and come to block his 300,000 army with ten horsemen alone?
"Sun Ce! Zhou Yu! Old friends have met, why don't you dare to come forward? Are you afraid of an ambush in my city? I tell you, there are no ambushes in there, come in and sit down, and we will have a drink together. ”
Xiao Shu watched the two of them stop and immediately shouted.
