Chapter 186: Attack on Yuan Tan
Cao Cao wanted to go east to conquer Liu Bei, and Dong Cheng asked the famous doctor Ji Ping to assassinate Cao Cao, how could Cao Cao be the person who could be assassinated, he saw through Ji Ping, and killed Dong Cheng and other three clans.
After quelling the civil strife, Cao Cao led 30,000 troops and dozens of generals to conquer Xuzhou.
At this time, Liu Bei led Zhang Fei to garrison Xiaopei, Guan Yu guarded Xiapi, and the rest of the counties had county soldiers. Liu Bei heard that Cao Cao personally led the troops to recruit, but he was not frightened, but hurriedly ordered Sun Qian to go north to Yuan Shao for help.
Yuan Shao had five sons, and it happened that his youngest son was sick at this time, so on this ground, he not only refused to save Liu Bei, but also did not take the advice of Tian Feng Fengji and others, and took the opportunity to send troops to attack Liyang.
Tian Feng and the others shook their heads and sighed, this lord, for the sake of a beloved son, gave up such an opportunity.
Cao Cao went all the way to attack Xiaopei, and went down to the village outside the city, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei heard Sun Gan's report, saying that Yuan Shao did not help, Xuande was scared half to death, but Zhang Fei said: "Big brother, what are you afraid of him?" Although Cao Cao has a lot of soldiers and horses, he is tired from afar, and tonight we can only lead the troops to rob the camp, and we will definitely be able to kill him and turn over on his back. ”
Liu Bei knew that Zhang Fei was brave and martial, and with Zhang Fei here, he was a lot more relieved.
"What the third brother said is also good, and the art of war also says, then rob the camp tonight, the soldiers will be divided into two roads, and the third brother will be prepared to go all the way."
At night, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei each led a military horse to the battle, leaving only Sun Qian to guard Xiaopei.
In terms of the use of soldiers, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are not enough to carry the toilet for Lao Cao. Lao Cao didn't start the battle himself, conquered Zhang Xiu, got Lu Bu, experience and strategy, the second in the world, there was no first, Yang Xi only relied on his understanding of the late Han Dynasty and technology in hand, otherwise he would not be as good as Lao Cao.
Cao Cao had long expected that Liu Beijun's Chinese military generals would be insufficient, and if he wanted to win, he could only use the trick of robbing the camp, so he had made preparations early, and when Zhang Fei led the army to kill, where did he see half a figure in the camp tent, and he was wondering to himself, Xu Chu, Yu Ban, Li Dian, Xu Huang, Le Jin, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, and seven military horses were killed.
Zhang Fei directly looked at Venus, Rao is he thought he was the best in the world, and he didn't dare to take on so many generals, even if Lu Bu couldn't last a few rounds.
Zhang Fei rushed left and right, covered the front and back and walked in one direction, killed a few rounds, and when he reached that direction, he couldn't run again, and his soldiers had already descended.
Zhang Fei was killing, and Xu Huang was killing for a while, and then Le Jin arrived, and Zhang Fei pulled the horse and ran again.
Flying and killing a bloody road broke through the encirclement, and only dozens of horsemen followed.
If he wanted to return Xiaopei, Cao Cao had already made arrangements, and wanted to vote for Xuzhou and Xiapi, but he saw that there were thousands of people and horses blocking the road, and there was no way out, so he had to look at Mangdang Mountain and go.
Liu Bei is okay, Cao Cao arranged not many generals, but just arrange two, Liu Bei can't parry, after being surrounded, fortunately there are twenty or thirty die-hard soldiers around him, so he narrowly escaped.
After running for a while, Liu Bei turned around and saw that there were only a few soldiers left, and then looked at the direction of Xiaopei, the flames were soaring, and it was estimated that Sun Qian was about the same, so he didn't dare to go back to Xiaopei, and the road to Pi was blocked again, so he had to go all the way north to Yuan Shao.
Killed Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, Cao Cao did not stop, to capture Pi, Cheng Yu suggested: "Guan Yu is brave, hold Xiapi, if you attack normally, I am afraid that you will have to be like Lu Bu, attack for several months, it is better to let the troops go back yesterday, pretend to desert, and then lead Guan Yu out of battle, defeat and surround, the deserter opens the city gate, and Xiapi can be taken." ”
Cao Cao listened to Cheng Yu's plan and acted according to the plan.
Guan Gong is playing these scheming, which is better than Cao Cao, so many civil and military generals, naturally in the trap, surrounded by a dirt mountain, originally Zhang Liao should have played at this time, saying that Guan Gong surrendered, but at this time Zhang Liao was brought to Jiangxia by Yang Xi, Cao Cao liked Guan Yu very much, and could not bear to kill.
But without Zhang Liao, Cao Cao just spent a few more days, and when Guan Yu was almost hungry and his soldiers were almost dead, he was naturally deceived back by Cao Cao himself.
Even if Guan Yu surrendered, he also took his two sisters-in-law, Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi, and returned to Cao Ying.
In the spring of 200, Yuan Shao's son recovered from his illness and could start attacking Cao ****.
In February, Yuan Shao issued a crusade against Cao Cao, accusing Cao Cao of "jackal ambition, hidden plots, but to scratch the pillars, lonely and weak Han family, in addition to loyalty and harm, for the hero".
The author of this text is the great god Chen Lin, and the role of this text is to treat migraines. Cao Cao had a headache in the past few days, but when he got the text, he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat and jumped up from the sickbed.
Yuan Shao sent the document to various counties and counties, hung it in a conspicuous place, and said all the bad things about Cao Cao's dictatorship.
At the same time, 9,000 recruits from Yang Xi of Beihai County at the end of last year were also delivered.
In addition, there are still 3,000 enlisted after the surrender and dismissal of Donglai County and Beihai Kingdom, and the new soldiers are 12,000, which is exactly 30,000, and it is not an exaggeration to Cao Cao at all.
Arrived with Lu Xun and Zhang Liao.
Yang Xi ordered Zhang Liao to be the acting head of the New Army, and Lu Xun to be the chief of staff, leading 12,000 soldiers and horses.
Yang Xi measured Zhang Liao's brain development degree of 11%, and he was a commander-in-chief general, but his qualifications were not enough, so he had to add an agent. Yang Xi wants to personally lead the troops to the west, and there must be someone to guard the south and the entire obtained area, and by the way, the governor of grain and grass, the new soldiers are just right.
Yuan Shao marched to Liyang, and Yang Xi marched to Yuan Tan at the same time.
Shandong is mountainous, most of the plains are longitudinal from north to south, the road is not good for marching, but fortunately, Yang Xi designed a shrinkable skeleton inside the hot air balloon tarpaulin, and it is not difficult to walk.
Yang Xi is out of the county, between Yuan Tan Chen Bingguang County and Yidu, Gongwei Linzi.
The soldiers and horses of the two sides are equal, and Yuan Tan also has fifteen thousand, so Yang Xi did not act rashly, after all, the other party is also an experienced veteran, and he is just better equipped.
Yidu, Yuan Tan Tent.
Yuan Tan had a lot of subordinates, three of them were famous, and now Peng An was beheaded by Yang Xi, but Cen Bi and Wang Zhao were in the tent at this time.
Cen Bi said: "General, this Yang Xi has 20,000 horses, if he is allowed to enter the territory of Qi State, he is afraid that it will be difficult to control the enemy, but the last general has a plan, he can ambush his army halfway." ”
"General Cen, please speak."
Cen Bi said: "Between Xixian and Guangxian and Yidu, there is a river, if Yang Xi wants to attack me, he must choose a shallow river and a wide place to spend it, at that time, as long as he gives the last general a soldier and horse, and when his soldiers and horses are more than half, he will break his army." ”
Yuan Tan heard the words and praised: "General Cen really for my humerus, this plan is very good, this general ordered you to lead 5,000 troops for the left road, attack Yang Xi Bandu soldiers and horses, Wang Zhao for the right road, immediately cross the river, hide in the mountains, cut off Yang Xi's grain road, when he retreats, take advantage of the chaos to kill, I will lead the troops to deal with the two generals." ”
The two generals then led their own troops, and Yuan Tan led the army to greet them, and the spies always paid attention to the enemy's movements.
However, it was said that Yang Xi went out of the drama county, and after setting up camp, he gathered all the generals, the commander of the assault regiment, Jian Yan, the deputy regiment commander, You Tu, the chief of staff, Xu Shu, Jiang Qin, and other battalion-level and deputy battalion-level officers, a total of more than ten people, in an open space.
Yang Xi said: "Everyone doesn't understand the use of me building this thing, so I'll show you today." ”
Yang Xi ordered the two foot force and pyrotechnics who had been prepared for a long time to prepare for their positions in the hanging basket of the hot air balloon, and then ordered someone to loosen the tarpaulin coated with resin and other paints and start ignition.
As the bellows puffed up the flames, the top cloth of the hot air balloon was slowly inflated, and finally turned into an oval, rattan hanging basket, Yang Xi stood in it, slowly rising into the air, from the moment he left the ground, everyone held their breath.
When the hot air balloon rose to more than ten zhang, everyone's expressions had not eased, and Xu Shu shouted first with excitement on his face: "What a miracle!" Miracles too! Childe is a pedantic man, beyond the reach of ancient and modern people! There was Zhang Heng in front of the wooden bone bird, hoping to bring people to the sky, but he did not succeed, and now the son actually created a precedent for all ages, and the true gods and men are also! ”
The others also shouted, so the sound of the mountain shouting long live resounded for several miles of the camp, Yang Xi stood in the hanging basket, waved to the people below, and personally grasped the rudder, adjusted the direction, and slowly cruised to the other side of the camp.
Many soldiers unconsciously knelt down and wept and worshipped.
