Forty-seventh, Cao Cao expected the enemy to capture the pottery merchant Huang Shan, who rode alone to make trouble with the enemy camp
However, it is said that the Qingxu coalition army defeated Cao Cao. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Tao Qian welcomed the Qingzhou army into the city. Tao Qian looked at Tianhua and saw that Tianhua was wise and Shenwu, and Qiyu Xuan was still better than Liu Bei and Lu Bu. In my heart, I gave birth to the heart of Xuzhou. It's just that because of the faces of Liu Bei and Lu Bu, they were not immediately sealed. That night, another banquet was held in Xuzhou City. The heroes of the four roads all went to the banquet. Tao Qian asked Tianhua and said: "Since Huang Junhou has come here, can he have a plan to break Cao?" Tianhua said: "Cao Cao suffered heavy losses in this battle, and his defeat and escape are a foregone conclusion. Tao Gong can see the opportunity to act. Cao Cao entered, then guarded; If Cao Cao does not advance, he will attack the village. In this way, Cao Cao can be broken. "It's the same for everybody. After the banquet, Tao Qian immediately ordered Cao Hong to order all troops and horses, requisition and transfer the offensive utensils, and stand by to counterattack Cao's army at any time.
However, it was said that Cao Cao was taken back to the camp by Xu Huang, checked the military horses, and lost most of them. The sergeants were wounded, and the sighs were everywhere. Cao Cao consulted with the generals. Everyone persuaded Cao Cao to withdraw from the army. Cao Cao said: "Since my debut, I have suppressed the Yellow Turban, broken Dong Zhuo, destroyed Li Guo, drove Lu Bu, chased Ma Chao, and retired from Huang Shan, and I have not tasted defeat. If I break the path here today, I am unwilling. At this time, Guo Jia had already arrived at the camp, and Cao Cao said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, so why should the prime minister worry." Cao Cao said: "If I retreat, Lu Bu will be arrogant!" The generals laughed and fell silent. The next day, the Qingxu coalition army was fighting outside the village. Cao Cao shrank for a day and did not fight. Another day later, the Qingxu coalition army came to fight again. Cao Cao went out of the village to attack it. Both sides suffered casualties and were not victorious, and each withdrew its troops. If this continued, for more than ten days, the two armies either fought or not, and the situation in Xuzhou gradually eased.
Tao Qian was nearly eighty years old at this time, and he was physically and mentally exhausted in order to protect Xuzhou against Cao Cao's army. Suddenly relaxed, and was bedridden. The doctor only said that he was overworked. Everyone knows that the time is not far away. Tao Qian had two sons, Tao Shang and Tao Ying. When the two saw Tao Qian fall ill, they both had the idea of taking charge of Xuzhou. Both of them are gentlemen, with no virtue and no talent, rotten wood is difficult to carve, and they are overwhelmed by heavy responsibilities. Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Tao Qian felt heartache every time he thought about this. Then there are often heroic people, and they will secretly compare with their two sons in their hearts. But the two sons are far from each other, so the old tears are rampant. The two sons both wanted to take over Xuzhou for their father, and secretly quarreled in private. There was an argument in the backyard of Tao Mansion that day. The potter said: "I am the eldest son, and my father's inheritance should be inherited by me, as has been the case since ancient times." Tao Ying said: "Since ancient times, you have been a talented person, who can keep your family business, you have no virtue and no talent, what kind of face can you accept." The two fought fiercely, so much so that they drew their swords against each other. The two swords slashed each other in the courtyard, attracting countless persuaders. The noise became louder and louder, and finally Tao Qian on the inner hall couch could smell it. Tao Qian asked the attendant, what was the noise outside. The attendants did not dare to tell the truth. Tao Qian asked again and again, and the attendant said, "The two princes outside are dueling." Tao Qian was so angry that he coughed violently a few times, almost fainted, and asked the attendant again: "Why are the sons of evil fighting?" The attendant said: "The rumor is to fight for inheritance!" Tao Qian ordered his close attendants to bring his two sons. After the arrival of the two sons, Tao Qian ordered him to kneel in front of the couch. The second son thought that Tao Qian was going to pass on the throne, so he didn't dare to slack off and knelt down respectfully. Tao Qian didn't answer, just closed his eyes and lay down. The second son made a slight move, and Tao Qian immediately knelt down. Kneel until noon until evening. The sons couldn't hold back the torment, but kowtowed to Tao Qian to admit their mistakes, vowing never to quarrel again. Tao Qian told the two to retreat.
This matter has already reached the ears of the three tigers in Xuzhou City. Liu Bei thought to himself: If I take Xuzhou, but I can't show benevolence and righteousness, why don't I live in Xuzhou, the eldest son of Xuzhou to win Xuzhou, as long as I coerce the son and move the power, why not be afraid of him Lu Bu. Lu Bu thought to himself and said: "Liu Bei will definitely support the eldest son to guard the family business, but I want to support the second son, and the land of Xuzhou is still uncertain." Huang Shan thought to himself: The two of you each support each other to fight, and when both are defeated, it will be the day I take Xuzhou.
After the potter left Tao Qian's place, he returned to his room. Suddenly, someone came to spread the word, saying that Liu Yuanjun called him to discuss the military. The potter was overjoyed that he finally had the opportunity to participate in the military aircraft event. Then he hurried to see Liu Bei. Liu Bei said: "Tao Fujun has been in poor health recently, and the great enemy is current, and the military cannot be abolished." Gongzi is the heir of Xuzhou, and he has the courage to invite Gongzi to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy. The sentence "Gongzi is the successor of Xuzhou" made the potter's heart flutter. Tao Shang said: "Shang is young and ignorant, and everything is still expected to be taught by Uncle Liu Huang." Liu Bei asked: "Do you know who is the biggest obstacle in charge of Xuzhou?" The potter said, "It's my second brother!" Liu Bei scolded in his heart: Stupid pig, your biggest obstacle is me Liu Bei! But he looked very pious on his face, and said, "This is very true." If Gongzi wants to take over Xuzhou smoothly, he needs to make great contributions to Xuzhou. Now that Cao Cao's army is outside, why don't the sons think about it, first build prestige, and then inherit the family business. The potter said: "Uncle Liu Huang is very good. Why don't I lead the army to rob and kill Cao Cao tonight. Liu Bei said: "If you kill Cao Cao, you can reach an army of millions." Your father was sick from hard work, all because of Cao Cao. If the son can kill Cao Cao, he can fulfill his filial piety for his father, avenge the victims of Xuzhou, and solve the danger of Xuzhou. The potter said: "I have no military power in my hands, and I can't transfer the army, how can I do it?" Liu Bei said: "General Cao Hong is a loyal general in Xuzhou, if you ask for it, if he is silent, but like this, he will be able to get soldiers and horses." When the time comes, you bring soldiers and horses to meet me, and I will help your army again, and great things will be accomplished. The potter was overjoyed and said goodbye to Liu Bei. Liu Bei's heart is secretly cool, and he can earn Xuzhou soldiers and horses without much effort.
The potter resigned Liu Bei and went to Cao's mansion to see Cao Hong. After seeing the ceremony, the pottery merchant Daoming wanted to borrow soldiers and horses. Cao Hong said: "Without the order of Tao Fujun, you must not transfer troops and horses." The potter said, "My father's hospital bed is overworked, so how can he be tired of it." Uncle Cao is the minister of the humerus, and everything can be decided at his own discretion. Besides, I borrowed troops to serve in Xuzhou, and Uncle Cao allowed it. Cao Hong still refused. The potter had no choice but to use Liu Bei's nirvana, and suddenly wet his robe with tears and hoarseness. Cao Hong couldn't bear it, and thought to himself: Although the potter is unusable, he is the eldest son, if he is in a hurry, I am afraid that the prince of the mansion will not look good; Moreover, he acted with Liu Yuanjun, and he may not be able to make a difference. So he promised 5,000 soldiers and horses to the potter. The potter ordered the soldiers and horses to leave the camp, and when it was already dark, he said to himself: "If I use Liu Bei's power to break Cao Cao, I can't show my ability." In the middle of the night, I led the troops alone to rob and kill Cao Cao. After thinking about it repeatedly, he took the soldiers and horses out of the city and looked at Cao's camp. When approaching Cao Ying, they scattered in all directions, waiting for the night to act.
His march with great fanfare had already been discovered by Sergeant Cao Cao. Cao Cao and the civil and military forces were anxious, and they didn't know what they meant. Yu Ban said: "Huang Shan is insidious and tricky, this must be an ambush to lure the enemy." Xu Huang said: "Could it be that Huang Shan came out of two ways to kill, one bright and one dark." This is the Ming army, there is still a dark, I don't know where it is? "The generals will have their own opinions, and the jury cannot be determined. Guo Jia asked the scout: "Can you find out who is leading the army?" The scout said, "The general who leads the army has never known him." It's a young general! When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed and said: "You are too careful, but you are panicked because of a small pediatrics." This army is easy to break. Everyone advised: "The prime minister should not be underestimated." Cao Cao didn't listen, and ordered the generals to go back to the camp to rest, leaving only Dian Wei to block the incoming army. At night, in the darkness, an army came from outside the village and rushed straight to Cao Cao's military tent. It was the first army of potters. When the potters entered the tents of the army, they did not see Cao Cao. Suddenly, I saw a fire outside the tent, and countless soldiers and horses came out. The troops of Dian Wei each armed themselves with weapons and killed. The potter panicked and fell to the ground. All the 5,000 sergeants were captured, and none of them were spared.
The generals of Cao's army heard that the enemy army had robbed the camp, and they came and went to see Cao Cao. Seeing that Cao Cao had captured the enemy army, they praised them all. Guo Jia asked: "Why can the prime minister be so determined?" Cao Cao said: "The Qingxu coalition army is already stronger than our army, so why do you need to make dangerous moves." Lu Bu, Liu Bei, and Huang Shan's generals in the city are all capable of recruiting and fighting well, if there is a young general who does not know the art of war, I expect to be one of Tao Qian's uncompetitive sons, who have not been led by Tao Qian's generals, and use troops privately. When Cao Hong heard this, he drew his sword and pretended to behead the head of the potter. The potter was afraid, knelt down and begged: "Don't hurt me, I am the eldest son of Tao Qian in Xuzhou, and the potter is also." Cao Cao shouted: "Tao Qian and I have a grudge against my father, and I just killed his son to take revenge." "If you raise your sword, you will cut it. The potter was frightened and hurried, begging for mercy: "Cao Gong don't want to harm me, I am willing to sacrifice the land of the five counties of Xuzhou and Cao Gong." Cao Cao said: "When you die, you dare to talk nonsense, Xuzhou is your father's family business, how did you do it." The pottery merchant said: "I am not the Duke of Cao, my father is seriously ill, I am the eldest son of the house, and I should inherit the unification." Guo Jia secretly looked at Cao Cao. Cao Cao understood and ordered the potters to be taken out and strictly guarded. Guo Jia said: "This is the eldest son of Xuzhou, and what he said about Tao Qian is seriously ill must be true, but this person can be kept, or he can help the prime minister seize Xuzhou." Cao Cao ran.
But he said that Liu Bei said that the potters went to earn soldiers and horses, and they looked left and right, but they didn't see the potters bring soldiers and horses. Liu Bei thought that the potter had never said anything about moving Cao Hong, so he didn't care. At dawn the next day, Cao Cao deliberately released ten captives to return to the city to report the news. In the early morning, it was rumored that the pottery merchant attacked Cao Ying at night and was captured by Cao Cao. Liu Bei learned that after the potter earned soldiers and horses, he really went to rob and kill Cao Cao. Liu Bei scolded the potter in his heart. At this time, there were Taofu soldiers who came to summon Liu Bei to discuss matters. Liu Bei knew that the situation was serious, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly called Zhang Fei and Jian Yong to go to Taofu. When I arrived at Tao Mansion, I saw Lu Bu, Huang Shan and others all arrive. Tao Qian leaned back, his expression became more and more old and weak, and there was a slight red blood mark on his chest, which was obviously bloodstained. Liu Bei and Tao Qian saluted. Tao Qian couldn't speak, pointing at Cao Hong. Cao Hong understood, but asked Liu Bei and said: "The matter of the eldest prince, Liu Yuanjun can know." Liu Bei said: "I have heard a little in the camp in the morning. Cao Hong said: "The eldest prince doesn't know about military affairs, why does Liu Yuanjun not stop?" Liu Bei pretended to be surprised and said: "I only knew about the matter of the son this morning, but it was too late, how can I stop it?" Cao Hong said: "Did the prince go to see the envoy after borrowing the soldiers and horses last night?" Liu Bei said: "I haven't seen it." If you see it, you can't put the potter's son in danger! Mi Zhu said: "Tao Gongzi is in Cao Ying, and it is imperative to try to save him." Chen Deng said: "Cao Cao has captured the son, and he will make him a hostage and earn Xuzhou." At this time, Tao Qian spoke weakly and said: "Rebel, it's useless to save it, and leave it." The crowd had nothing to do, and shook their heads silently. Hu Tianhua said: "I am willing to go to Cao to rescue Gongzi!" Everyone looked back and was amazed. Tianhua replied: "Although a certain is not invincible, he regards Cao Jun as a mustard. I am willing to ride to Cao to rescue Tao Gongzi. "Everyone thinks that Tianhua is crazy. Tianhua's heart is extraordinary, and he bets on who can save the pottery merchant, Tao Qian will let Xuzhou let him, and the officials of Xuzhou can not complain. Tianhua asked the soldiers who fled back again: "Do you know where Tao Gongzi was escorted?" A defeated soldier said: "I went with the eldest prince to rob Cao's camp, but before I could enter the village, I was surrounded by a large army." Later, he was tied to Beiying, and Zhang Kang was handled by Xu Huang's department. But I don't know where the son is. Another soldier said: "I entered the tent with my son, and suddenly saw Cao Cao's army surrounding, and when I hurried out of the tent, I was captured by Cao Cao's own soldiers." I once saw that it was Cao Hong's son. Tianhua said: "I have a plan for this matter, I should go to Cao Ying in person." Suddenly, Tao Qian coughed and pointed at Cao Hong. Cao Hong said: "I don't know how many soldiers and horses Huang wants to bring?" Tianhua said: "No need for soldiers and horses!" Just a ride! Cao Hong asked again: "Who do you need to help?" Tianhua said: "If you want to help, Tai Shi Ci and Yan Liang can be under a certain account!" "Then take the double hammer and get on the horse and go out of the city. The generals of Xuzhou couldn't stop it. Tai Shici and Yan Liang also got on their horses and followed. Everyone is praying for Tianhua, but there are two people who hope that Huang Shan will fail. The two are Liu Bei and Lu Bu. Liu Bei said in his heart: The robbery of the camp is from my own mouth, if you save the potter back to the camp, will you not pick my faults; May the bones of the three be gone! Lu Buxin said: If Huang Tianhua is not the eldest son, I will be able to successfully support the second son to ascend the throne, and Xuzhou will be at my fingertips; May the bones of the three be gone!
Since Tianhua has left the city, Cao Hong said to everyone: "All the monarchs have received the great favor of the Taofu monarch, why not go out of the city together and respond to General Huang." So all the generals went out of the city.
But it was said that Tianhua rode into Cao Ying alone. Cao Cao's soldiers hurriedly reported to Cao Cao. Cao Cao said: "Huang Shan must be here to save people, but he can first transfer the Tiger Guard Army to ambush inside and outside the tent." Dian Wei took the order. Cao Cao went out of the gate to see the sky. After seeing the ceremony, Cao Cao asked what Tianhua meant. Tianhua said: "I heard that Prime Minister Cao Cheng captured the eldest son of Tao Fujun, and I came to investigate, I don't know where the son is?" Cao Cao smiled and said: "Tianhua really has the courage, if you want to see the pottery merchant, go to the Chinese military tent first." I don't know if Tianhua dares to enter the account? Then he turned around and went to the Chinese military tent. Tianhua stepped off the war horse and looked at Cao Cao's military tent. When they came to the tent, they were stopped by the tent keepers. Tianhua took the double hammer with it, and only then did he get into the account. The double hammer was so heavy that the soldier couldn't hold it, and it fell to the ground with a loud noise. Tianhua stood still at the tent door and asked Cao Cao, "Where is the son?" Cao Cao ordered the potter to be taken out. The sergeant brought the potter to the placer. Tianhua said: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng may release it? Cao Cao said: "If General Huang can stay here and drink with Cao, he can't let it go." Tianhua smiled and said: "Why not! "Say goodbye, untie the potter, and send him back first. The potter returned, Tianhua and Cao Cao had a drink. Cao Cao said: "Conquer Xuzhou, victory is in sight; Just because you are an army, until you lose your soldiers. it. Don't blame the general. Cao Cao said, turned around and hid into the screen. Inside and outside the camp, five hundred tiger guards broke out of the tent. Tianhua had no weapons in his hands, so he had to take the wine cup out and only injured one person. He also sacrificed the fire dragon dart, turned around and threw it, and wounded another person. Tianhua saw that there was a carpet on the ground in the tent, so he leaned over and grabbed it, and with a hard pull, several tiger guards in the front row fell. Tianhua rolled forward, snatched the Tiger Guard's sword, and slashed indiscriminately. Tianhua doesn't know how to use swords, and only relies on brute force to support it. Tianhua suddenly saw that the double hammer was still at the tent door, so he leaned down and tore the carpet again, but because of excessive force, the carpet was torn apart, and only a large piece was grabbed in his hand. Tianhua threw the carpet out, and the crazy dance knife rushed straight to the tent door. I don't know how many knives I cut out, the edge of the knife rolled, the knife was changed and cut again, and the blood-stained armor was still forward. He actually killed Cao Cao's tiger guards so that they didn't dare to approach. Tianhua finally arrived at the door of the tent and found the double hammer of the sun and the moon of the divine soldiers. Withholding the fatigue, he unfolded the hammer method, dancing like the wind, and finally fought out of the tent. Outside, the Cao army was like a tide, and there was Dian Wei blocking the way. Tianhua reluctantly stepped forward and fought Dian Wei. There were about thirty rounds, and Tianhua gradually felt strained. When he was desperate, he suddenly saw two horsemen killing. It is Tai Shici and Yan Liang. The two generals rushed straight into the heart like an arrow, met Tianhua, and fought together to retreat from Dian Wei. The three of them broke through in the direction of Pengcheng. Rush to kill several times, can't get out. Cao Jun had another general to kill, and Tai Shi Ci took the halberd and threw it. That will be the answer.
