Chapter 107: It's too late to regret
Two days later, the heavy rain finally stopped. The sky was bright again, and there were no clouds.
This time the design, Chen Sheng was forced to do so.
It's not really an ambush for Cao Hong, full of favors. Therefore, on the night after the sunny day, Chen Sheng secretly mobilized soldiers, and the city was strong, and the city wall was reluctantly repaired with civil engineering.
Although it is not very strong in a hurry, it is much safer than when it collapsed.
Chen Sheng repaired the city wall, which was tantamount to telling Cao Hong, full of favor, my previous plan was under the weakness of my heart, so I made a mistake.
And now that I've repaired the walls, I'm at ease, and it's even better.
Don't think about it, if it is Cao Hong, the two of them will definitely vomit blood when they see it.
This time, the Oriental fish belly turned white, but it was just dawn.
Cao Hong, full of favors received the report from below, and rode out of the camp early to watch the situation in Guangcheng.
I saw that on the city of Guangcheng, there were many soldiers and soldiers, and the banner was fluttering, which could be said to be ready for battle, and it was unspeakably neat and slaughtered. Looking at the city wall of Guangcheng again, several places that collapsed have been repaired, although the old and new colors are different, like patches, it is very ugly.
But this also represents the city, and the defense is restored.
"It's a good idea."
Full of favor, Cao Hong saw such a city and such a strict garrison, three words suddenly flashed in his heart, and his face was also pale.
"It's a mystery, it's a mystery. This man is indeed as cunning as a fox. After a moment of silence, Cao Hong shouted. There was indescribable remorse in his expression.
Although Cao Hong expected it at the time, whether it was entering the army or not moving, there was a fifty percent chance of being successful. But when everything was clear, Cao Hong couldn't help but regret it.
If it was at the beginning, if it was ruthless at the beginning, he would enter the army at night. Guangcheng is at your fingertips, and Chen Sheng's head is also easy to pick.
But now it's too late, great opportunity, missed, missed.
It's too late to regret, it's too late to regret.
Not only that, Cao Hong thought of it, after Chen Sheng's trickery, the smug expression on his face couldn't help but roll in his chest, and he had an urge to vomit blood.
"The strain will be slight, and forget it. As our army marched south, it threatened the city. And when the city collapsed, he actually set up a suspicious plan, so that I couldn't move forward and defended the city. This courage is really outstanding. I am inferior to him, and I underestimate him. ”
Man Pet was silent for a long time before he said.
Really, the full favor at this moment really feels that he is underestimating Chen Sheng.
"No, my lungs are exploding. I want to send troops immediately, wash Guangcheng with blood, and give Chen Sheng a resounding slap in the face. On the other side, Cao Hong couldn't hold back anymore and said viciously.
After finishing speaking, Cao Hong wanted to rein in his horse and return to the camp and ordered the troops to march.
"General."
Manzhong exhaled, and then, he stopped: "Last time, we missed the opportunity, and it was too late to regret it." And now, Chen Sheng has cleaned up the city, and because of the suspicious plan, we are holding back, and our morale must be greatly boosted. In such a situation, the siege of the city must be a loss of troops. ”
"Then won't this revenge be avenged?" Cao Hong said angrily when he heard this.
"Stabilize the position first, wait for Ming Gong to lead the army south, gather the elite soldiers, and storm Guangcheng to avenge this one-arrow revenge." Full pet said.
said before, Cao Hong, full of favors discussed not to enter the army, which is also the reason.
Chen Sheng, Zhang Xiu's troops are placed there, and they can't be increased. But they have reinforcements, and if they join Cao Ying, they can have an army of 50,000.
50,000 Cao troops, against Zhang Xiu, Chen Sheng 20,000 soldiers and horses, still occupy an absolute advantage, there is no need to fight for a long time.
"Even if he Chen Sheng is scheming, he has bluffed us. But it's okay once, it's okay twice, but it's hard to do it three times. After all, the sword is not the right way. We have a large number of soldiers, so we have come to find him to settle accounts. ”
Immediately, Man Pet saw that Cao Hong was still depressed, so he comforted.
What else can Cao Hong say? Missed opportunities, regretted too late. Therefore, after listening to Manzhong's words, Cao Hong nodded fiercely and said, "Okay, let's settle accounts with him again." ”
With him letting go of his cruel words, Cao Jun still has an obvious advantage.
But Cao Hong, full of pets, is still indescribably gray.
And after Chen Sheng's move, the plan of the suspicious soldiers, plus the empty city plan. Finally, Cao Hong was fooled by the favor.
Cao Hong did not retaliate and chose not to move. Started to be peaceful.
On the Guangcheng side, it can be said that the danger has been saved and the situation has been preserved.
On the other side, Cao Ren, Li Dian, and Le Jin led 20,000 elite soldiers and besieged Wancheng, which can be said to be menacing. However, the city of Wancheng is strong, and Guangcheng can be said to be a heaven and an underground.
In addition, there was plenty of grain and grass in the city.
Moreover, there are 14,000 Xiliang elite soldiers.
The soldiers are well fed, and there are tall cities to rely on. Although it is on the defensive, it can be said that the surname is worry-free and there is no big problem.
However, this does not mean that Zhang Xiu is very free to do what he wants and completely grasps the initiative.
Not only is it not, but it makes Zhang Xiu very uncomfortable.
That's the case with scouts, spies.
Zhang Xiuxi Liangbing is very powerful, and so are the spies. But after all, he has been in Jingzhou for a long time, there is no supply of war horses, and the number of spies is not much. On the contrary, it is Cao Jun, and Liangzhou in the west, has a steady supply of war horses.
Therefore, the number of spies is very large and sufficient.
Cao Ren, Li Dian, and Lejin did not have many soldiers and horses, only 20,000, and they couldn't surround Wancheng. But they sent a lot of spies, overt spies, or spies.
The spies of the two sides fought, and Zhang Xiu's side suffered.
Spies don't come and go freely, and messaging is very slow. The connection between Wancheng and Guangcheng was almost severed.
This kind of feeling like a blind man made Zhang Xiu uncomfortable, and he was also very worried about Chen Sheng's situation in Guangcheng.
This one is said to be hollow. General Jianzhong's Mansion, inside the hall. Zhang Xiu was eating, but she couldn't swallow it, she was really worried about Chen Sheng's situation. So, he summoned Jia Xu over.
"Da-da-da-da."
Soon after, Jia Xu entered the hall. After seeing Zhang Xiu, he immediately saluted: "General." ”
In fact, as soon as Jia Xu saw Zhang Xiu's expression, he knew it. Zhang Xiu was worried about Chen Sheng's safety. And not a secret.
Since the last time Zhang Xiu misunderstood Chen Sheng, especially Chen Sheng has no hatred and no dissatisfaction. The guilt for Chen Sheng became more and more profound.
Now, Chen Sheng is besieged, and the news is unknown, Zhang Xiu is naturally worried.
"Wen He came just in time." When Zhang Xiu saw Jia Xu, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said. Immediately, he beckoned: "A few days ago, it was raining heavily. Guangcheng is in dilapidation again, and I am really worried about whether I can withstand this heavy rain. Now that the news of the spies is not smooth, I am afraid that Ziwei will not be able to hold on. Wenhe, do you think I should send reinforcements to the rescue? ”
Jia Xu didn't move when he heard this, but said: "General Chen is a genius and a genius. If the situation is not right, it must be to collect troops and come to Wancheng. And now that there is no news, there must be a way to deal with the current situation. ”
Jia Xu is very confident in Chen Sheng.
"But if it is Ziwei, he wants to lead his troops back to Wancheng. But what about being blocked by Cao Hong and Cao Ren? Zhang Xiu said when he heard this, with unspeakable worry between his eyebrows.
Jia Xu smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this, this general is really not a wise lord.
The so-called, there is no suspicion in employing people, and not in doubt.
Zhang Xiu took Chen Sheng as a brother, which was very gracious. Because of the misunderstanding of Chen Sheng, he felt deeply guilty, so he was even more dear. And what about Chen Sheng himself?
In Jia Xu's view, he is a general's talent.
It's a relative, and it's a brother's flesh and blood. Why did he ignore Chen Sheng's talent because he was worried?
"With General Chen's talent, it is enough to defend Guangcheng. Please don't have any doubts, just defend the city. He smiled bitterly in his heart, and Jia Xu also persuaded him.
Zhang Xiu still has a lot of respect for Jia Xu, hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, and finally nodded and said, "Then don't send troops for the time being." But then, Zhang Xiu said again: "Send additional spies, you must practice with Guangcheng." ”
"No."
Jia Xu promised.
……………
On this side, Zhang Xiu was worried about Chen Sheng. On the other hand, Cao Ren is also worried about Cao Hong.
The elite of the 20,000 Cao army in Wancheng was divided into three parts by Cao Ren, and built a large camp outside the west, north, and south city gates respectively, and Cao Ren, Li Dian, and Le Jin were respectively in charge.
Coupled with the fact that Cao Jun sent spies, this curbed the news between Wancheng and Guangcheng.
Originally, Cao Ren was fine, but now he is not in a good mood.
The northern camp of the Cao army, the big tent of the Chinese army.
The layout of the tent is very simple, divided into external tent and inner tent. The inner tent is the place where Cao Ren rests, and the outer tent is the place where he discusses. The flybook is only arranged with a few seats, and there is no other decoration.
At this moment, inside the outer tent, Cao Ren was kneeling on the handsome seat, looking slightly worried. On the desk in front of him, there was a scroll of bamboo slips, which was recorded.
Chen Sheng set up a suspicious plan, and Cao Hong was full of favorites.
In addition to Cao Ren, there is also a general standing in the tent, who has a wide forehead, eyes like Tongling, and a figure like a tiger, which is very majestic. Coupled with the gold armor embroidered robe, it is even more majestic.
This person's surname is Niu and Jin, and he is Cao Ren's general.
Be brave and good at fighting, and make good use of the big axe.
In history, Niu Jin is not an unknown person, he was an official to the general, he was loyal, and finally he was jealous of Sima Yi and was killed by Sima Yi under the pretext of being killed.
was feared by Sima Yi, what kind of character there is, there is no need to say more.
"General, General Cao is a battlefield general, and Mr. Man is a resourceful man, but he is still fooled, which shows that Chen Sheng is scheming. It's really worrying. Niu Jin was also worried.
Cao Ren was worried outside, but after listening to Niu Jin's words, he restrained his worries and said with a smile: "Cao Hong, full of favor, was definitely bluffed by Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng is indeed handsome and has outstanding ability. But Zhang Xiu is different. ”
As he spoke, Cao Ren's smile became even richer.
"What does the general mean?" Niu Jin has been following Cao Ren for a long time, and when he saw this, he suddenly realized and said.
"I should be the designer, defeat Zhang Xiu, in revenge for Chen Sheng's humiliation of Cao Hong, full of favor." Cao Ren's eyes sparkled and said.
The words are full of confidence and are very generous.
This is the difference between Cao Ren and Cao Hong.
Cao Ying knew people, knew that Cao Hong's surname was anxious, fierce, and impulsive, so he ordered Manzhong as an assistant. A fierce general, a Confucian general, complement each other......
And Cao Ren was able to lead the army south alone, without assisting the ministers.
It can be seen that in Cao Ying's heart, Cao Ren's talent is still above the duo of Cao Hong.
Cao Ren's wisdom and courage are enough to see one or two.
