Chapter Seventy-Six: Junior General Cao Zhen
After Cao Bao led the troops to leave, another person came out and said: "Cao Cao uses his troops like a god, and his fierce generals and strategists are like rain, and General Cao is probably not Cao Cao's opponent." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info now have to make plans early. ”
Everyone regards it as Mi Zhu, the head of the Xuzhou family. Mi Zhu's family is rich, there are thousands of guests in the house, and he has a wide range of family wealth in his life, helping the poor and pulling out the hardships, and is now engaged in Xuzhou.
Mi Zhu is gentle and elegant, with a white face and no beard, and he still has Tao Qian's trust. Tao Qian was afraid of Cao Cao's might, and he had already lost the six gods, and seeing that Mi Zhu seemed to have a plan, he hurriedly asked, "I don't know what Zi Zhongke's plan is?"
Mi Zhu said: "Cao Cao's soldiers are fierce, and my Xuzhou soldiers may not be able to fight as well, so it is better to send someone to Beihai for help." Beihai Kong Rong is benevolent and righteous, and he will not bear Xuzhou to suffer this catastrophe, and at the same time he needs to send people to Qingzhou Tiankai for help, if he gets these two soldiers and horses, Cao Cao will retreat. ”
Whether he must retire from the army, everyone doesn't know, but at this moment, Tao Qian can only do this. He immediately wrote two letters, sent Mi Zhu to Beihai Kongrong for help, and then sent Chen Deng, a Guangling man, to Qingzhou for help.
After the two left, Tao Qian ordered the generals to guard the city in preparation for an attack.
Cao Cao's march was so fast, but in three or five days, Liuxian, Guangqi, Fuyang, Wuyuan and other counties in Pengcheng have been conquered, and all the people in the county have been killed, and the entire Pengcheng territory is really uninhabited for thousands of miles.
Cao Cao slaughtered the people of Xuzhou, although his subordinates were unbearable, but they still carried out Cao Cao's orders. Every time Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan and others captured a city, they would carry out Cao Cao's orders. At this time, a man rode a horse to Cao Cao's camp.
This person is now engaged in Dongjun, and he was very dissatisfied with Cao Cao's massacre of the people of Xuzhou for no reason, so he came to persuade Cao Cao.
"Gongtai, I haven't seen you for a few months, but why are you here today?" Cao Cao asked knowingly.
"Especially for the people of Xuzhou." Chen Gong said awe-inspiringly: "Cao Gong, Tao Qian is a benevolent and righteous gentleman, not for good profit and forgetfulness, killing his father was done by his subordinate Zhang Min, what does Tao Qian have to do?" The people of Xuzhou have no enmity with Cao Gong, why did Cao Gong kill the people of Xuzhou? ”
Cao Cao originally had to summon him because Chen Gong saved himself in Zhongmu that day, so he couldn't erase his feelings, but he didn't expect Chen Gong to reprimand himself with righteousness when he met, and he immediately said angrily: "Since you left me, what face do you have to see me now?" Tao Qian killed my father, I should rip out his heart, cut his liver, and hate him with snow. Thou shalt say more, if it were not for the fact that you saved Lonely in the past, you would have been beaten out of the stick today. Come, invite this person out. ”
I said please, but it clearly means boom. Now Cao Cao is blinded by hatred and can't listen to the advice of others at all. Chen Gong came out with hatred, looked up to the sky and sighed: "What face do I have to say goodbye to Tao Envoy Jun." ”
Chen Gong was disheartened, thinking that Cao Cao was a capable minister of the world, able to sweep away the world, and help Sheji, but he didn't want Cao Cao to be so tyrannical and kill the people indiscriminately, so he was very disappointed in Cao Cao, and deliberately resigned and returned to his hometown.
Not to mention Chen Gong, just Cao Cao, after Chen Gong left, Cao Cao led the army to Pengcheng. As long as Pengcheng is captured, the troops can be directed at Xuzhou.
Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin, and Li Dian to quickly lead the troops to Pengcheng, and the army converged, with 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the whole army was vegetarian and murderous, and went straight to Pengcheng to kill.
In Pengcheng, Cao Bao led 50,000 soldiers and horses, and took over the city defense while Cao Cao had not yet arrived in Pengcheng.
"Where is Cao Jun now?"
Standing at the city tower, Cao Bao asked the guards of Pengcheng.
"Returning to the general, visit Malai to report, Cao Cao led 30,000 troops, is coming to Pengcheng, and will arrive at the city in a few days."
"Humph!" Cao Bao snorted coldly, looking extremely angry at Cao Cao leading the troops to Fan, and then asked left and right: "What is the situation in the rest of the counties?" ”
The adjutant general sighed: "The rest of the counties in Pengcheng have been attacked by Cao Cao, and the people have been slaughtered. ”
"Damn!"
Cao Bao smashed his fist on the female wall, and said hatefully: "Cao Cao, let me Cao Bao drive you out of Xuzhou." ”
Let's say that after Cao Cao joined Xiahou Yuan and others, when he was dozens of miles away from Pengcheng, he came on a flying horse and said: "Lord, the front is coming to report that a group of soldiers and horses have entered Pengcheng." ”
"How many troops? Who is in charge of the troops? ”
Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.
"It's Cao Bao in Xuzhou, with about 50,000 horses." The herald didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said.
"Cao Bao is the head of the Cao family in Xuzhou, but he is a mediocre person, and he has no talent to command the army." Guo Jia on the side said.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and after a moment, he called: "Cao Zhen!"
"The last general!" A young general rode a horse to Cao Cao's side and said, "Lord! ”
Seeing Cao Zhen, a smile appeared on Cao Cao's face, and then said: "You will lead three thousand soldiers and horses to fight under Pengcheng City, and lure Cao Bao out of the city to chase after him." ”
Cao Zhen's immature face showed a hint of excitement, and said, "My lord, don't worry, the last general understands." After speaking, he turned around and rode his horse, leading three thousand soldiers and horses in the direction of Pengcheng.
"The Lord is wise." Guo Jia smiled on the side: "General Cao Zhen is young, then Cao Bao will definitely not care, he will definitely attack the enemy, and he will ...... when the time comes."
Cao Cao nodded and snorted coldly: "Cao Bao is just a straw bag, and Gu doesn't take him seriously." Captured Pengcheng, the soldiers pointed directly at Xuzhou, and they wanted to kill Tao Qian, and hated Xue Wu. ”
Guo Jia frowned slightly, Cao Cao mentioned Xue Hate several times, his heart was full of worry, but he ...... After all, I sighed in my heart and wanted to persuade, but I was afraid that it would backfire at this time, not to mention that the army had been dispatched, so how could I return in vain.
Cao Zhen was originally the son of Cao Shao, because when Cao Cao raised an army to fight against Dong Zhuo, his father was killed, and Cao Cao adopted Cao Zhen as his adopted son.
Cao Zhen was sixteen years old, when he was a teenager, but he was smart and brave, Cao Cao let him escort the siege equipment in the rear, and now he was appointed by Cao Cao as the vanguard, and he had to be cautious to prevent Cao Cao's major events from being ruined.
Cao Zhen led the 3,000 infantry, thinking about how to deceive the Cao Leopard, looking at the 1,000 soldiers and horses in his hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately shouted: "You are acting casually, later, scold me hard, scold the Cao Leopard out of the city, listen to my orders, I will retreat when I say withdraw, and then run back with your feet out, do you understand?" ”
"Understood." And all answered the word.
"Good!" Cao Zhen led the 3,000 soldiers and horses to Pengcheng and lined up 300 paces away from the moat.
Cao Bao was in the city tower, and suddenly received a report from his subordinates, saying that a group of soldiers and horses had come to the city to call for battle, and hurriedly led the men and horses to the west gate.
"General, please look!" The adjutant general pointed to Cao Zhendao under the city.
"Who is this?" Cao Bao saw that the other party was fifteen or sixteen years old, his face flashed with contempt, and he shook his head left and right, not knowing.
Cao Bao snorted, ordered left and right to ignore him, and wanted to return to the city tower. A troop of 3,000 people really doesn't take the other party seriously, so he doesn't want to waste more time dealing with this person.
Cao Bao ignored others, but the other party opened his throat and scolded: "Well, the rats on the city tower, you listen to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is the general Cao Zhen under the command of Cao Sikong, and he has the courage to come out and meet his grandfather." That's what Cao Leopard, right? I see, this Cao Leopard's name is really as good as its name, Cao Leopard, Cao Leopard, haha, straw bale, straw bale! ”
Cao Zhen looked at the middle-aged man who was surrounded by everyone on the city tower, and thought that it was Cao Bao, the lord of Peng, who was the lord of Peng, and saw that Cao Bao ignored him, and planned to be a newcomer, so he opened his throat and immediately shouted.
The 3,000 soldiers behind him immediately shouted insults and ridiculed Cao Bao.
"Bold!" Cao Bao trembled angrily, he wanted to guard the city and wait for Cao Cao to lead the army to come, but he didn't want to be wantonly insulted by an unknown young general now, he was simply too deceitful and dared to insult himself. Cao Bao is the head of the Cao family in Xuzhou, and the Cao family is the leading family in Xuzhou, when did anyone dare to insult himself like this.
"The milky child has not dried up, Hugh must be rampant. If you have a kind, don't go, let Ben meet you, an unknown general, in the future. ”
Cao Zhen laughed and said, "Straw bale, if you have a kind, you will come down and fight your grandfather for three hundred rounds." Mo is me bullying you for being old, you are really an old bone, if you don't go back to your old camp in Xuzhou, you dare to come to die. ”
"Ahhhhh Cao Baoqi's face was congested, and his whole face was gloomy like water, and he was about to pick up his horse and go out of the city to destroy Cao Zhen, but he was dissuaded by his generals: "General, I don't know the enemy or me, and I am afraid that there will be fraud." ”
"Hmph, the other party is only 3,000 soldiers and horses, and see me destroy this arrogant thief. Ben will be the main general, and he has his own measure. Cao Bao ignored the deputy general and ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses to go out of the city.
Cao Zhen saw that the gate of Pengcheng was opened, and thousands of soldiers and horses poured out, lined up, waving flags, spears like a forest, and murderous.
Cao Zhence immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Straw bale, do you dare to fight against your grandfather one-on-one?" ”
"General, kill chickens with a knife, and the last general will go and kill this thief." A general beside Cao Bao asked for help.
"No!" Cao Bao snorted: "I will slaughter this arrogant boy with my own hands, so that he knows what it means to know what it means to be high and thick." ”
Cao Bao deceived the other party's youth, ignoring the general's invitation, he used his long knife, jumped out of the horse and shouted: "Boy, let Ben unscrew your head." ”
Cao Zhen snorted coldly, raised his spear, and urged the war horse to kill Cao Bao. Cao Bao also slapped the horse and danced the knife to kill, the two rode over, a round, the two weapons came out, making a sound of gold and iron humming, Cao Bao disdainfully said: "I really don't know how to do it!" "Le Ma is here again.
After all, Cao Zhen's young strength is not as good as Cao Bao, and he suffered a loss, and when he saw Cao Bao killing, Le Ma came to fight with Cao Bao again.
The two fought like lights, and after only five or six converging hands, Cao Zhen couldn't resist the enemy, and shouted: "This Cao Leopard is so powerful, I might as well do it." ”
Cao Zhen forced Cao Bao back with one shot, and shouted backwards: "Withdraw, withdraw!" Cao Zhen hurriedly urged the war horse and immediately shouted hysterically. The three thousand Cao soldiers scattered like birds and beasts, scattered and fled.
But Cao Zhen ran slowly and fell behind. Cao Bao saw Cao Zhen fleeing, and knew that this Cao Zhen was just an unknown general, vulnerable to a blow, and he would destroy your troops and horses today, so as to give Cao Cao a dismount.
At that moment, the long knife waved and shouted: "Kill!" ”
Five thousand soldiers and horses followed Cao Bao and began to chase after Cao Zhen's defeated army.
