Chapter 178: The First Battle of Xiapi

Facing Cao Cao's eager eyes, Yang Xi said: "There are many courtesies in the court, but I don't like it, those who pursue it below, freedom, if you can't be free, many disciplines are added, even if you can achieve hegemony, what does it mean." ”

Cao Cao already knew what Yang Xi meant, and although he was disappointed, he was no longer reluctant, but in his eyes, there was a hint of fierceness.

Yang Xi knew that Old Man Cao had murderous intentions towards him, and he really had to be careful this time, but when he looked at Tian Han behind him and Gan Ning, Tai Shici and Ji Ling next to him, he was relieved.

If he really wants to do it here, he is really not afraid, the key is that Cao Cao still has the great enemy of Lu Bu and Sun Ce, presumably Cao Cao will not destroy the Great Wall.

"It's good that Big Joe stays in the camp, otherwise it would be troublesome."

On the second day, Cao Cao led the army to continue to go down, and Yang Xi responded as a western road and slowly marched the army.

Xiapi, Zhou Yu originally suggested that the two armies go out of the city and attack and kill Cao's army halfway, but when he got the news of Yang Xi's reinforcements, he did not move.

When Cao's army arrived at Xiapi, Sun Ce led the army Chen outside the city, and Lu Bu also led his troops out of the city, and the battle of Xuzhou, which was about to kick off.

Let's take a look at the cast of this performance.

Cao Fang starring: Cao Cao. Supporting roles: Guo Jia, Liu Bei, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lu Zhu.

Friendship cameo: Yang Xi, Tai Shici, Gan Ning, Ji Ling.

Lu Fang starring: Lu Bu. Supporting roles: Gao Shun, Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian and Hou Cheng, because Cao Xing was beheaded by Yang Xi, Hao Meng rebelled, and was killed by Cao Xing, and it was Lu Bu's eight strong generals who were absent.

Friendly cameos: Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang.

Lu Buliu Chen Palace and Zhang Liao guarded the city, and the rest of the men and horses were all stationed in various passes, just waiting for the arrival of the Cao army, Sun Ce ordered Cheng Pu to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to respond, and he led the rest of the generals and 7,000 men and horses to meet Yang Xi's west road.

Cao Cao used Xu Huang to lead troops in the two armies, rescued the emergency left and right, and brought troops and horses to fight Lu Bu.

The starring position naturally remains the same, it is they who are really fighting, Yang Xi and Sun Ce, who are just here to suppress the formation, Yang Xi didn't want to fight with Sun Ce, so he asked Sun Ce to make an alliance.

Sun Ce led Zhou Yu's generals to chat with Yang Xi, just waiting for news from Lu Bu and Cao Cao.

But said that Lu Bu led the army to fight, Cao Cao ordered Xu Chu to call the battle, but Lu Bu to Gao Shun to it, the two fought fifty times, Lu Bu was afraid that Gao Shun would lose, which damaged the morale of his own army, so he ordered Ming Jin to collect the troops, Cao Cao ordered the army to cover up, Lu Bu led the army to rush and kill, and the battle between the two sides broke out.

Cheng Pu saw that there were many Cao soldiers, so he attacked from the west side and met the friendly army, but was intercepted by Cao Ren, and the two armies collided, killing hundreds of people.

Cheng Pu also didn't love to fight, led the army back, and Cao Ren didn't chase him, but this reduced the pressure on Lu Bu, and the eight strong generals rushed to kill, and the two sides were also evenly matched.

Lu Bu led five hundred cavalry on a rampage, killing people on their backs, Zhang Fei saw it, roared, intercepted Lu Bu, fought fifty times, and did not see victory or defeat, Guan Yu was afraid that the wings were lost, and destroyed the horse to fight, Lu Bu saw that the other party had many soldiers and did not dare to fight, and the number of battles led the army back to kill.

In this battle, from noon to sunset, thousands of people died, among which Gao Shun's trap camp was the most brilliant.

Before the war, Liu Bei told Guan Zhang that if the road met Gao Shun, he was not allowed to fall in love with the war, and only handed it over to the rear army.

Guan Yu silently remembered in his heart, but Zhang Fei was a little unconvinced, the two of them each led five hundred, and when they met Gao Shun, they saw that Gao Shun only led seven or eight hundred people, but they were well-equipped, all armored steel knives, fierce and abnormal.

Yun Chang was about to remind Zhang Fei when he didn't care so much, he had just left Lu Bu, and he didn't like it, but now when he met Gao Shun, he didn't make up for the loss, so he led the troops to fight.

Gao Shun picked up Zhang Fei, and the soldiers who fell into the camp behind him also swarmed up, and several people fought Zhang Fei together with Gao Shun, Zhang Fei couldn't block it, Guan Yu immediately stabbed and killed the position.

How do you know that Gao Shun is trapped in the camp behind him, but he is like a wolf and a tiger, rushing into the formation of Guan and Zhang, and really harvesting people's heads like chopping melons and vegetables, and killing one or two hundred people in just half a moment.

Guan Yu looked back, secretly surprised, regretted not listening to the eldest brother, and did not restrain the third brother, but the matter had come to this point, it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to fight to kill the two infantrymen, and lead Zhang Fei to take the remnants.

Gao Shun did not let go, led the troops to cover up and kill all the way, and killed only four or five hundred people left in Guan Zhang before leading the army back.

Zhang Fei hung his head and said: "But I don't want Gao Shun to fall into the camp, it is really difficult to entangle, when I was in Xiaopei before, I was defeated by him, but I was not convinced, and now I am fighting head-on, and I was defeated by this person, which is really powerful." ”

Guan Yu said: "Big brother explained, but you didn't listen, now the loss of soldiers and horses, but how is it good, the eldest brother is already a small number of soldiers, and now the first battle has lost hundreds, if you want to replenish the prime minister, but you also need some trouble." ”

Zhang Fei said: "My brother and Yang Xi also have some friendship, I think Yang Xi is also a generous person, why not let the eldest brother open his mouth and borrow some soldiers and horses?" ”

Guan Yu said helplessly: "Yang Xi is very human, how can he easily give away the strength in his hands to others, third brother, don't just look at the surface." ”

The two led the army back, Liu Bei hated it, but he was helpless.

After the armies of the two sides fought until after sunset, Cao Cao and Lu Bu found that something was wrong, and Yang Xi and Sun Ce's troops did not appear.

Only after the situation was found out did they know that except for Sun Ce, who dispatched 3,000 people from Cheng Pu, the rest of the horses were simply guarding their respective intersections, and there was no fighting.

After the temporary truce, Cao Cao personally led several generals to question Yang Xi.

Yang Xidao: "Prime Minister Mingjian, in the confrontation with Sun Ce's two armies, has already restrained his soldiers and horses, if I move, then Sun Ce moves, what is the point of this battle?" If I want to win his city, it is only at the snap of my fingers, why should I be majestic on the battlefield. ”

Zhang Fei jumped out angrily and said: "Don't be ashamed, I respected you Yang Chenhe as a good man, but I didn't want you Yang Xi to just shrink his head, I am waiting to fight to the death outside, but you are drinking with that Sun Ce, could it be that the two of you have an ulterior conspiracy?" ”

Although Zhang Fei was reckless, his words were exactly what Cao Cao wanted to say.

Cao Cao looked at Yang Xi with burning eyes, wanting an explanation.

"Yide, what you said is not right, I and Sun Ce are really hostile, how can there be any collusion, but the prime minister has never asked Zaixia, how to fight this battle, only let Zai Xia guard a few intersections, in case Sun Ce sneak attack the back road, now Sun Ce has a sneak attack?"

"It's true that there was no sneak attack, but you didn't go to war, it's just not right." Zhang Fei naturally couldn't say anything about Yang Xi.

Cao Cao said: "Since Chenhe has completed the task, I have nothing to say, listen to Chenhe's words, you want to take down this Picheng, but in the snap of your fingers, but there is a clever plan?" ”

Only Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Guo Jia heard the meaning of Yang Xi's words before.

Yang Xi said: "If Yang Xi doesn't say it, the prime minister has never asked me about it since yesterday, but this battle is not according to my will, if I participate in the war, it will increase casualties, but I don't want to." ”

Cao Cao said: "You come and listen, if it is feasible, what if you come to command!" ”

Yang Xi said: "If you want to get off Pi, you don't need to spend a single soldier!" If you follow the plan, it will take two or three months, but if this city is down, the prime minister will have to give me three people, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and Chen Gong. There is another condition, this war has nothing to do with the people in the city, when the prime minister has to stay, slaughter the people in the city, if he gets to get down, but not so! ”

"Good! If you don't spend soldiers, you can get the next Pi, but these two conditions can depend on you! ”

I don't know what strategy Yang Xi said, and listen to the next decomposition.
