Everything was as Zhuge Jun thought, Cao Song died. www.biquge.info However, Zhang Min also died, Cao Song's treasures fell into the hands of Zhuge Jun, similarly, Xuzhou did not fall into the hands of Liu Bei, but into the hands of Zhuge Gui, Zhuge Jun became a Zhonglang general, everything is as Chen Qi calculated, even the Mi family also supported Zhuge Gui, the Mi family and the Zhuge family became a family, Mi Zhu married the little sister to Zhuge Jin, in history the little sister of the Mi family married Liu Bei, an old man about forty years old, and finally died, now her life is much better, Zhuge Jin is young and strong, it is the time to be high-spirited.

[麋竺 (also known as 纜竺), the word Zizhong. He was born in Qu County, Donghai (now southwest of Lianyungang, Jiangsu). Originally a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, he was later engaged in other driving by Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian. After Tao Qian died of illness, he was ordered to welcome Liu Bei. With his brother Elfang refusing Cao Cao's appointment and following Liu Bei, he gave Liu Bei a great help when Liu Bei was at his most down, so that he could regain his strength. In 214 (the nineteenth year of Jian'an), after Liu Bei entered Yizhou, he worshiped Lu Zhu as the general of Anhan, and his status was above Zhuge Liang, and he was the most of the ministers under Liu Bei. Lü Meng attacked Jingzhou, and Elfang surrendered the city, resulting in Guan Yu's defeat and death. Lu Zhu is graceful and generous, generous and elegant, good at riding and shooting, although he has never led the army, but has always been treated by Liu Bei as a guest. 】

In May, Cao Cao finally sent troops, at this time Tao Qian was not dead, and Zhuge Gui had not yet obtained Xuzhou. Historically,

Cao Cao fought Xuzhou three times, and once to avenge his father, he beat Tao Qian, but failed because of Liu Bei's rescue and Lu Bu's sneak attack on the lair. The second time he fought Lu Bu, he successfully captured Xuzhou City, and left General Che Zhou to lead 80,000 elite soldiers to defend the city. The third time was to fight Liu Bei, and he also successfully captured Xuzhou City.

Tao Qian was wary of the two brothers of the Zhuge family for a long time, after the New Year, Zhuge Xuan was transferred out of Xiapi, to Pengcheng as the Taishou, Zhuge Jun took the troops to station in Xiaopei, in May, Cao Cao avenged his father, sent a large army to conquer Xuzhou, Xiaopei was among them.

Zhuge Jun returned to the barracks and asked Huang Zhongdao: "Xiao Jian [Xiao Jian (?-?), a native of the East China Sea, a local power in Xuzhou at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was a Lang evil minister, ruled Ju, and did not communicate with Lu Bu at the beginning, and after Lu Bu passed on the letter, he attached himself to Lu Bu, but was soon broken by Zang Ba. Is there any action that you don't have? ”

Huang Zhong said: "Gongzi controls Xiao Pei, what else will he do as a little Sima." ”

Zhuge Jun said: "This person is very insidious, let's be careful, how many people are in the army." Huang Zhong said: "There are 15,000 people, but only 8,000 can fight, but according to what Gongzi said, they can be used as 30,000 soldiers and horses." ”

Zhuge Jun said: "Okay, train these fifteen thousand people for me, then we will be safe." "That."

At this time, Zhou Cang ran in and said, "Oh no, Cao Cao has entered the army." ”

Zhuge Jun asked, "How many people are there in Cao Jun?"

？ ”

Zhou Cang said: "There are seven or eight thousand people. ”

Zhuge Jun said: "Zhou Cang, bring a thousand men and horses immediately." I asked Liao Li to follow you with 1,500 men. ”

At this time, a fire lit up on the head of the moat thirty miles away from Xiaopei, and I saw a thousand people calmly dipping their arrows that had been wrapped in cloth strips in the fire oil next to them, and then picked them up on the flames, "Whew!" ......" a flame ignited in their hands.

"Woohoo! ……”

After the sound of arrows flying, a thunderous cry suddenly sounded from the city.

Immediately afterwards, a shocking war drum sounded on the head of the city, like an exciting medicine, which suddenly raised the morale of the Zhuge army on the city wall to an unprecedented situation.

Most of the hands of Cao Jiang's pioneer Wang Ji were carrying wooden shields, which were immediately ignited when they encountered open flames, and they were frightened, and just threw away the shields that had been ignited in their hands, but they were immediately shot into hedgehogs by a dense rain of arrows, and those wooden siege vehicles and ladders were even more unlucky, and they were ignited without even touching the city wall.

And those Cao army archers who lost the protection of their shields were suddenly reflected by the fire and had nowhere to hide, and immediately became the live targets of the veterans on the city wall, although these veterans are old and should be retired, but some of them have more than ten years of combat experience, which is much stronger than those recruits, and everyone is skilled in bows and arrows, almost the arrows do not miss, and after a while, more than thousands of Cao troops who attacked the city will be killed on their backs, and the cry will shake the sky.

Actually, it's not that Cao's army is incompetent, do you think, how can those bows and arrows stained with fire oil be resisted by wooden shields?

"Retreat!" Captain Wang Ji couldn't stand the deafening war drums on the city wall anymore, and he finally roared angrily, "Set up camp, we will attack the city with all our strength at dawn tomorrow!" ”

"Yes! Captain wise! The army is so tired, after all, there is no rest for a day and a night! Before a sycophant general next to him finished speaking, he was kicked away by the angry Wang Ji.

Seeing Cao Cao's army retreating so easily, the captain defending the city was almost a little inapplicable, "This ...... It's too weak, isn't it? I haven't used my killer trick yet! Don't stop the drums of war, keep going! ……”

"Knock knock! …… Knock knock! ……”

Wang Ji was not the kind of ignorant fool either, he ordered the troops to settle down, and on the other hand, he sent several teams of sentries and scouts to patrol near the camp, for fear that the defenders of the city would come out and loot the village.

However, what he never imagined was that such a moat, which was a little difficult to defend, would send an elite army to ambush beside it, and it was secretly coming towards their camp.

The art of war is cloudy: surprise and attack unprepared. Is the enemy so stupid as to be unprepared for your chance? No one can be so stupid. Therefore, the martial artist will despise the rhetorical literati, and the soldier will despise the strategist who talks on paper. Battle-hardened veterans know that it is not easy to translate the essence of the art of war into fruitful results. Opportunities are earned through one's own hard work, and this has been the case for many times in history. Even if there are flaws and laxities in the enemy's camp, if you don't make the effort to detect and accurately grasp it, the opportunity will be fleeting.

When Zhou Cang led a thousand men and horses to quietly approach the Hu People's Army Dazhai in the north, he had quietly killed the enemy soldiers patrolling the two roads. Due to the cover of the night, Zhou Cang's soldiers and horses tied cloth to the horse's hooves and wore masks on the horse's mouth, so they were not noticed until they touched Cao Jun's village.

Maybe it was because Cao Jun didn't encounter any obstacles along the way, maybe they felt that the soldiers guarding the city were more than enough to defend the city and were not able to go out of the city to rob the camp, maybe they were too tired, anyway, they even sentry were very lax, and most of them leaned on the big trees to sleep.

By this time it had passed the fourth watch, and the earth was quiet, except for the occasional neighing of horses in the barracks.
