On the east bank of Danshui, Cao's army camp. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Cao Cao stood on the lookout under the support of Guo Jia, Xun You, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian and others, observing the reality of the Yellow Turban Camp, although the weather was as hot as a steamer, but Cao Cao's heart was colder than a while, I don't know why the Yellow Turban Army on the west bank of Danshui made Cao Cao feel a little strange.

This Yellow Turban Army was unlike any Yellow Turban Army Cao had come into contact with before. At this moment, the Yellow Turban Army opposite Danshui felt familiar and unfamiliar to Cao Cao.

"This is definitely not Zhang Bao's old department!" Cao Cao said categorically, "This Yellow Turban Army does not have the unique killing atmosphere of Zhang Bao's old department, but it has the arrogance of looking at all things, if this assassin is not mistaken, this should be the Xiliang Army that surrendered Zhang Bao!." ”

"The Xiliang army that surrendered Zhang Bao?" Cao Ren's dark color was awe-inspiring, and he said in a condensed voice, "The combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army is extremely fierce, and Zhang Bao is cunning in his army, the two complement each other, this battle is not optimistic!" ”

"What Zixiao said is good." Cao Cao nodded approvingly, and said to Guo Jia worriedly: "Fengxiao, the prospect of this battle is indeed not optimistic. ”

Guo Jia said with a solemn expression, "Although the strength of the Yellow Turban Army is equal to that of our army, it has sufficient grain and grass, and there are no worries, on the other hand, our army, the grain and grass are only enough to support only one month, and Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Liu Biao and others are eyeing our army, this battle is difficult!" ”

Cao Cao rubbed his temples and said in a low voice: "Fengxiao, in your opinion, how should you deal with the Yellow Turban Army?" ”

Guo Jiadao: "To be disadvantageous to advantage, if you want to win, there are only two ways, one is to stick to the tired enemy, and when the enemy's morale is low and he wants to retreat, he will take advantage of the situation to attack him; The two won by surprise, using ambushes, flooding, fire attacks, cutting off the enemy's grain routes and other strategies to break the enemy, but the terrain on both sides of the Danshui River was not suitable for the use of surprise attacks to break the enemy, Zhang Bao chose this place as the battlefield, obviously after careful consideration, in view of this, Jia thought that our army had no choice but to stick to the tired enemy. ”

Cao Cao frowned and said, "Is there really no other way?" ”

Guo Jia said: "At least for now, there is no better way, but as time goes by, it is not known what weaknesses the Yellow Turban Army will expose, in short, our army must not act rashly." ”

Xun You said: "I think that Fengxiao's plan is feasible, the purpose of our army is to contain Zhang Bao, as long as Zhang Bao's army can be dragged down and prevented from quickly pacifying Liangzhou, even if there is no war?" ”

"Okay." Cao Cao nodded and muttered, "Then pass the order, and the soldiers of the whole army will strengthen their vigilance, but if there are those who attack without authorization, there will be no mercy." ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Two days later.

On the west bank of Danshui, the Yellow Turban Army camp.

Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Yu She, and Zhang Niujiao were not solved, and they hurried to Zhang Bao's big tent of the Chinese army, in the big tent, Zhang Bao and Zhao Yun were studying the strategy of Cao Jun on the map, and when they looked up and saw the four generals of Dian Wei rushing in, they couldn't help but smile and asked: "Dian Wei, how?" ”

"Hey, don't mention it." Dian Wei angrily shook the horsewhip in his hand, and replied quite annoyedly, "This Cao Cao is a turtle with a shrunken head, and the last general will make the sergeants insult in every way, even his ancestors have been scolded for eighteen generations, but he is shrinking in the camp and refuses to come out!" I couldn't be angry, and I kicked the camp with the cavalry and was shot back by Cao Jun. ”

"Hmph~ Cao Cao also has today!" Zhang Bao snorted coldly and said coldly, "But this is also expected, the taste of being at a disadvantage is not comfortable!" Since the beginning of the army, the general has had enough of this kind of bird, and has been twisted by Cao Cao, Ba You, and Qiao Mao, who have been like lost dogs, and now in the thirty years of Hexi, feng shui is turning, and it is the turn of the general's opponent to taste this taste. ”

Zhao Yun said in a deep voice: "Lord, Cao Jun's strategy is already obvious, that is, to stubbornly defend the tired enemy!" Trying to rely on the impermeable persistence to wear down the sharpness of our army, our army has been unable to overcome for a long time, and it is inevitable that the morale will be sluggish, and this is when the opportunity for Cao's army comes. ”

"Cao Cao thinks it's quite beautiful!" A cold glint flashed in Zhang Bao's eyes, and he sneered, "How could General Ben give Cao Cao such a chance!?" Cao Jun stubbornly defended the tired enemy, and as expected, General Ben gave him his eyes and ears and went around behind the enemy! ”

General Yu Shi said in a condensed voice: "Go to their ears and eyes and go around behind enemy lines? ”

"Yes, get rid of their eyes and ears, and go behind enemy lines!" Zhang Bao said coldly, "Cao Cao and Guo Jia are almost invulnerable with their military deeds, and if our army attacks Cao's camp, it will be in Cao Cao's arms." Cao Cao hopes that our army will kick the camp, but the general is not as good as he wants, and the two armies will clash, and they should use their own strengths to attack the enemy's shortcomings! Even though Cao Cao and Guo Jia have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, they can't make up for a fatal flaw of the Cao army, that is, the Cao army lacks a strong cavalry! ”

Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Yu She, all the generals showed excitement when they heard this.

"Where is Yu Shi?"

Yu Shi hurriedly stepped forward and said sharply: "The last general." ”

Zhang Baodao: "Lead five hundred scouts, divided into twenty teams to patrol the wilderness on both sides of Danshui day and night, and will definitely kill all the Cao army scout rangers within a radius of fifty miles!" Starting tomorrow, General Ben no longer wants to see Cao's scouts appear around the battlefield. ”

Yu Shi hugged his fists and said: "The last general will take the order." ”

Zhang Bao's gaze turned to Zhao Yun and said sharply, "Zhao Yun." ”

Zhao Yun Huoran got up, hurriedly stepped forward, stood side by side with Yu She, and said quickly: "The last will be." ”

The corners of Zhang Bao's mouth suddenly bloomed with a hint of cold murderous intent, and he said in a condensed voice: "Leading five thousand iron cavalry, the whole army is only allowed to carry ten days of dry food and weapons and arrows, and when Yu Shi finishes cleaning up the scouts and horses of the Cao army, he will bypass the Cao army's camp, rush into Danfeng and Shanyang lightly, and cut off the Cao army's grain route!" ”

"If Danfeng and Shanyang are in a hurry, they should abandon the fortified city and force Wuyin, and there must be no mistake."

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, "Obey!" ”

。。。。。。

Next.

On the east bank of Danshui, two Cao Jun Tanma were wandering in the wilderness, seemingly aimless, but in fact, they were always monitoring the movements of the Yellow Turban Army on the other side of the river. The sky was high and the clouds were light, the wind and the sun were beautiful, except for some heat, everything seemed so calm and peaceful, and the two Cao Jun Tanma did not realize that the shadow of death had enveloped them.

"Sigh Rhythm ~~"

A fierce neighing of horses suddenly sounded from the left side, Cao Jun Tanma looked back in shock, only to see that dozens of yellow turban horses had appeared in the wilderness five hundred steps away, and they were swept towards the place where the two Cao Jun Tanma stopped, and the iron hooves were churning but the sound of fierce horse hooves could not be heard, but the horse's hooves were wrapped in cotton cloth, no wonder they were hidden within five hundred steps and did not notice.

"It's the enemy probing the horse, let's go!"

The two horsemen Cao Jun sounded a whistle and pulled out their horses to leave.

However, as soon as he turned the horse's head, the two horsemen Cao Jun were surprised to find that two more teams of yellow turban horses were outflanking from the other two directions, faintly forming a flanking attack.

"Break out!"

The Cao army scouts who led the way made a quick decision, and the two Cao army scouts divided into two roads and galloped away relatively quickly.

"Woohoo!"

But unfortunately, the sharp arrow swept through the air and pierced the throat with an arrow! In less than half a day, more than 100 cavalry Cao army scouts scattered in the wilderness were almost wiped out by Yu She's absolutely superior scouts, and only a dozen cavalry Cao army scouts escaped from death and fled back to the camp in panic to report the news.
