Chapter 222: Surrender (1)

Cao Cao saw that Feng Li really opened the door, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and personally led the army into the city, but he didn't know that the trial had already been seen clearly on the side, and after Cao Cao's army entered hundreds of people, he immediately ordered someone to throw a boulder from the city to the gate, only to hear a loud bang, and the stone blocked the door, isolating the hundreds of soldiers led by Cao Cao from the army outside the city.

I only heard the judge and said with a smile: "General Feng, well done, this time I killed Cao Cao, the general is a great contribution, I will definitely explain your merits to the lord, in the future, the general will get a high position, don't forget to bring your brother." ”

Feng Li was immediately blinded by the words of the match, looked at Cao Cao's eyes on the side who wanted to eat people, and quickly explained: "I, I...... Prime Minister, this is a misunderstanding......"

However, Cao Cao could not allow the other party to explain, he had already drawn his sword and stabbed Feng Li to death, and then ordered the army to hold on and wait for the sergeants outside the city to respond.

However, he did not give Cao Cao such an opportunity, and immediately ordered the defenders in the city to attack Cao Cao.

Fortunately, the hundreds of soldiers under Cao Cao's command were all elite soldiers, and there were fierce generals Xu Chu and others around him who desperately tried to protect them, so that Cao Cao was safe, and later Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Xuan, Le Jin, Xu Huang and others outside the city desperately hit the nearby city wall, and finally knocked down a corner of the city wall, and then Cao Ren led his own soldiers to pour in, and after rescuing Cao Cao, he hurriedly withdrew.

This time, Cao Cao almost lost his life due to the light enemy, although he was finally rescued, but nearly 500 of his hundreds of soldiers were killed, and the fierce general Xu Chu was slightly injured, which can be said to be a fiasco.

Later, Cao Cao saw that all kinds of strategies to attack the city were ineffective, so he had to order the army to besiege the city on three sides, so as to wait for the food in the city to run out, and then set up a plan to break the enemy.

However, he did not expect that the other party would be able to transport a steady stream of grain and grass from the north, so that Cao Cao's siege plan could not be effective, and after some discussion, Cao Cao decided to cut off the grain route of Yecheng first, and then he could take advantage of the situation to break the enemy.

So Cao Cao left Cao Ren and Cao Hong to lead 10,000 troops to continue to besiege the city, but he personally led 8,000 troops to attack Yin Kai to cut off the party's grain road.

Yin Kaicheng only has more than 3,000 soldiers, how can he compete with Cao Cao? It was just a cup of tea, Wu'an City was captured, and Yin Kai fled in the chaos of the army, not knowing where to go.

After Cao Cao captured Wu'an, he immediately attacked Handan non-stop, and after hearing about it, he immediately led his army to fight, determined to avenge his father.

At the beginning, the father of the frustrated Hu became Cao Cao's prisoner before he crossed north after the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao remembered that this person was talented, and he had old friends, so he ordered people to treat him well, but later he was frustrated and thought of his clan, and wanted to escape back to Hebei, and was finally killed by Cao Cao.

It is precisely because of this that he knew that Frustrated Hu would never surrender to Cao Cao in order to avenge his father, so he would order him to guard Handan, but the trial match obviously overestimated Frustrated Hu's IQ, this person actually ignored the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and went out of the city to fight a decisive battle with Cao Cao, and was killed by Cao Cao's fierce general Xiahou Yuan with an arrow.

Cao Cao broke Yin Kai and frustrated Hu in a few days, which shook Jizhou, and Yi Yang ordered Han Fan and Shechang Liang Qi to surrender.

After that, Cao Cao led his army back to Yecheng and besieged Yecheng again.

At this time, it was July, the autumn rain was endless, the Zhangshui was soaring, and Xun You, a strategist under Cao Cao, saw the furious Zhangshui one day, and suddenly had a plan, and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, the lower officials suddenly have a strange plan, which can break the city." ”

"Oh? What is the clever plan of Gongda, let's talk quickly. Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

Seeing Xun You say this in his ear, Cao Cao couldn't help but be overjoyed.

That night, Cao Cao ordered the destruction of earth mountains and tunnels, as a siege, and the city was flooded.

The trial was defenseless, and suddenly heard the sergeant's report, saying that Yecheng was soaked in water, and couldn't help but be shocked, only then did he know Cao Cao's plan, and couldn't help but secretly scold this person for being vicious.

Due to the sudden arrival of the flood, a large amount of grain and materials were washed away, and the grain route was cut off, and the people in the city suddenly ran out of food, and most of them starved to death in ten months.

At this time, Yuan Shang led the army to intensify the attack on the plain, seeing that the plain city wall was broken, the army had no fighting spirit, and it would not be able to break itself without a fight in ten days, but Yuan Shang suddenly heard that Cao Cao had decided to irrigate the city with Zhangshui, and the grain road was cut off, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and he couldn't care about the plain anymore, and immediately led the army to rescue, but Yuan Tan led the army to cover up and kill from behind, losing more than 1,000 people.

Cao Cao's generals heard that Yuan Shang led a large army to rescue, so he said to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, the last general heard that Yuan Shang led a large army to come to the rescue, his army is returning to the division, and the soldiers under his command will definitely fight bravely, the enemy army is in full swing, we might as well temporarily avoid the edge, the enemy army is exhausted, and it is not too late to attack." ”

Cao Cao smiled, and then asked Xun You, "What does Gongda think?" ”

Xun You also smiled and said to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, the lower officials think that if Yuan Shang comes from the avenue, the other army is fierce and can carry out a large-scale decisive battle, and we should avoid it, but if he comes along the West Mountain Trail, it proves that Yuan Xianfu is still immature and afraid of our army, and our army is just taking advantage of this to break the enemy." ”

Cao Cao laughed, nodded and said, "Gongda's words are exactly what I want." ”

He ordered the spies to probe again.

Half a day later, the spies reported that Yuan Shang really headed in the direction of Xishan, Cao Cao couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Yuan Shang Xiao'er, I don't know the military aircraft, I will die today, if I don't take it, it will live up to God's good intentions?" "That's it

That night, Yuan Shang led his troops to arrive and immediately led a large army to attack Cao Cao, but things turned out to be as Xun You expected, Yuan Shang's army was cowardly before fighting, and was not only surrounded by Cao Cao, but also surrounded by Cao Cao.

Only then did Yuan Shang know how powerful Cao Cao was, so he had no choice but to send the original Yuzhou assassins Shi Yinkui and Chen Lin to surrender.

Cao Cao did not allow Yuan Shang to surrender, but instead ordered the army to intensify the attack.

Yuan Shang listened to Yin Kui and Chen Lin's words, and his heart was even more frightened, and his subordinate Ma Yan surrendered in battle, so he had to flee overnight.

Cao Cao sent Xiahou Lian, the younger brother of Xiahou Dian, to lead 3,000 light cavalry to pursue, but caught up with Yuan Shang at Julu.

"My lord, flee from here quickly, and the last general will lead the army to resist." Feng Ji saw Yuan Shang fleeing all the way, knowing that he couldn't do anything, but he still had a loyal heart in his heart, and decided to help Yuan Shang escape this difficulty, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of Yuan Shao's father and son. If he can get away with not dying after this battle, he quietly defected to Liu Qi.

In fact, this way can not blame Feng Ji Wumou, it is really a series of changes too big, originally according to Feng Ji's strategy, the army will take ten days at most to break Yuan Tan, but unfortunately, Yecheng is in danger, and the army must rush back.

And when the army rushed back, Feng Ji built a large army from the road, and after seeing Cao Cao, he could fight with Cao Cao with the blood and courage of rescuing Yecheng, but it was a pity that Yuan Shang did not listen to his Jian, but chose to advance from the Xishan path, exposing his cowardice, and later, the army was defeated like a mountain, even if he had the power to return to the sky, but he could not recover the shape.

Fortunately, he made a plan in advance, and quietly moved his family out of Yecheng and sent it to Julu's friend Tian Feng, otherwise he would be defeated in this battle, and I am afraid that the family will inevitably become a ghost under someone else's knife.

Yuan Shang saw that the pursuers arrived, and he didn't say much, and as soon as he bowed to Feng Ji, he led the army to leave in a hurry, but he didn't expect that the main bookkeeper Chen Lin also chose to stay, Feng Ji couldn't help but be a little surprised, and at the same time expressed his admiration for this weak scholar.

After Feng Ji led the 500 army to stay behind, he led the army to a dense forest, and ordered more than 100 sergeants to drag branches back and forth behind the dense forest, rolling up the smoke and dust in the sky, making people mistakenly think that there were ambushes buried behind, and ordered 20 sergeants to hold snare drums to stay in different directions and beat drums, and when they gave an order, these sergeants immediately beat the drums, and ordered more than 100 sergeants to put up more flags in the dense forest, but he had 20 personal soldiers standing on a single-plank bridge outside the dense forest, quietly waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

After a while, I heard an earth-shattering noise in the distance, and then I saw a young general in his twenties leading thousands of cavalry to rush in a menacing manner.

Feng Ji's heart couldn't help but feel worried, but his face was quite calm, and when the chasing army arrived, his face remained unchanged, and he said indifferently: "The enemy general is so bold, don't you deceive me Jizhou no one?" Hehe, today you are waiting for my lord's plan, it is difficult to get out, come and kill me. ”

After Feng Ji finished speaking, the sergeants around him could raise the banner and shake it desperately to the back, while the more than 20 sergeants hidden in the dense forest beat the drums respectively, only to hear the sound of the drums, shaking the four fields in the east, and the chasing general Xiahou Lian couldn't help but change color on his face.

At the same time, a large cloud of smoke and dust rolled up behind the dense forest, and then there was an earth-shattering shouting of killing, at this time, Feng Ji and Chen Lin all looked unchanged, and the personal soldiers around them instead rode forward and prepared to rush forward to kill.

Xiahou Lian has always heard that Feng Ji is resourceful, and when he saw this situation today, he couldn't help but sigh: "I fell for the trick of Feng Ji." Everyone quickly retreated. ”

After that, Xiahou Lian led the army and fled back at a gallop.

Seeing this, Feng Ji couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat on his face, bowed to the north where Yuan Shang had fled, and then said: "Lord, please have a good journey, I will not be able to accompany you." ”

After that, he said to the frightened Chen Lin: "Kong Zhang, I don't know where you are going?" ”

Seeing this, Kong Zhang knew that Feng Ji was going to leave Yuan Shang, and couldn't help shouting: "Feng Yuantu, are you going to vote for Cao Cao?" The lord who lost was kind to you, but I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. ”

When Feng Ji heard this, he sighed lightly and said slowly: "Cao Cao has no grudge against me, how can I be willing to take refuge in him?" I mainly want to go to Jingzhou this time to defect to Taiwei Liu Qi, and sacrifice my life to cover the escape of the lord today, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the Yuan family, but I can't die for the Yuan family in vain, such as the only one who can compete with Cao Cao today, only Taiwei Liu, who is originally from Nanyang, and returning to his hometown today can be regarded as returning to his roots, Kong Zhang, you are from Guangling, why don't you return to Liu Taiwei with me, the two of us work together Liu Gong, not only to return to his hometown, but also to return to Hebei with him in the future, and hate the Lord Gong. ”

A hint of eagerness flashed in Chen Lin's eyes, but he asked casually, "Do you think Liu Gong will be able to fight back to Hebei in the future?" ”

"It must be possible, if there is anyone in this world who can defeat Cao Cao, it is Taiwei Liu." Feng Ji's eyes were full of confidence, and he said solemnly.

Chen Lin thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll join Liu Gong with you." ”

"Not far from here is Julu, we first went to Tian Yuanhao to pick up my family's small, and everyone set off for Xiangyang together. Hehe, this time I not only brought me and Zhengnan's family to Julu, but even Xin Ping and Xin Bi's dog thief's family were also quietly escorted to Julu, and this time they were all executed to pay tribute to the lord and the soldiers who died. Feng Ji's eyes were full of hatred, and he said with a sneer.
