Chapter 343: Hunting Yu Lu VIII
"Zhicai, is there a way to recruit this person?"
There were fierce battles in front, and there was some silence in the highlands of Wei Guoying, Cao Cao put his hands behind his back, groaned for a while, turned around, looked at Xi Zhicai, and asked softly with a burning and hopeful light in his eyes.
"King!"
When Xi Zhicai heard this, he thought about it, shook his head, and said softly: "I have studied this person's experience, this person and Lu Bu are brothers from Weimo, the two have a good relationship, Lu Bu is not dead, it is difficult to rebel!" β
"If Lone told you that this person had hidden from Lu Bu and did not hesitate to take risks to save Lone's life, would you have a way to recruit this person?"
Cao Cao thought for a moment and said softly.
"Zhang Liao saved the king?"
When Xi Zhicai heard this, his face was shocked, and his eyes lit up slightly.
"In the past, in Luoyang City, a lone person and a knife, assassinated the national thief Dong Zhuo, unfortunately defeated, Dong Zhuo was furious, sent his son Lu Bu to chase and kill Lonely, there was no way out of the city, and was chased and killed by Lu Bu, although Lu Fengxian has a bad reputation, but he does have real skills, just half a day, he found a lonely hiding place!"
Cao Cao's voice was not loud, his eyes were heavy, as if he was narrating a trivial matter, but his tone was a little vicissitudes and a little nostalgic: "Just when Gu was about to die, Zhang Liao appeared, he was busy with Lu Bu, stealing beams and changing pillars, rescuing Gu, and then personally sending Gu out of Luoyang!" β
"Why is that?"
Xi Zhicai's eyes changed slightly, and he was a little unclear in his heart.
"In the past, Gu Ye once asked Zhang Wenyuan, why did you want to save Gu?
Cao Cao smiled faintly, revealing a very complicated smile, and then said: "He sued sΓΉ lonely, lonely such a person." You shouldn't have died in Ruoyang City! β
"I understand, Zhang Wenyuan is far-sighted, he should have been optimistic about the king's talent early in the morning, and he has the intention of taking refuge in his heart, but he is loyal. Trapped by the righteousness of the Lu Bu brothers, I can't help myself! Xi Zhicai sighed and said with some regret.
"Zhicai, what do you think this person can do?" Cao Cao was also very sorry in his heart, silent, and silent for a long time. Suddenly asked.
"Under the command of the Wei State, if you talk about bravery, not to mention the two great guards of the king, he may not be able to compare with just two Xiahou generals, but if you talk about the arrangement of troops, ......" Xi Zhi paused. His eyes flashed, and he finally spit out a few words softly: "He should be the leader!" β
"Hehe, with your words, Lone knows what to do?"
Cao Cao laughed, and then shouted to the guards behind him: "Someone! β
"King!"
A pro-soldier cautiously walked up and bowed.
"Immediately pass the order of Lonely, Mingjin collects the troops, and the generals will immediately meet the camp of the Chinese army!"
"No!"
The herald hurried down.
"The King. Do you want to? β
When Xi Zhicai heard this, his face was slightly stunned and his eyes narrowed. Looking at Cao Cao's actions, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
If you don't fight Xiao Pass, if you want to enter Xiapi, you have to take a detour, in case Sun Jian takes Xiapi first, Wei is a bamboo basket for nothing.
"Let's go. Let's go back to the camp! β
Cao Cao didn't answer, and directly turned over and got on his horse. rode away and quickly returned to the Chinese army's tent. Xi Zhicai looked at his back, his eyes moved slightly, and a deep light flickered, and he followed directly.
Above Xiao Guan.
"General, the Wei State has withdrawn!"
"Retreat, retreat!"
"We won, we got through it!"
Several generals who fought bloodily looked at Xiao Guang, who was like a tide of Wei soldiers withdrawing, and their faces were overjoyed.
"Give the order to go down, clean up the battlefield, be careful and don't relax!"
Zhang Liao's face was tired, looking at the retreating Wei soldiers and horses, but there was no trace of joy.
"No!"
The generals moved in a hurry.
"Fengxian, all I can do is abide by Xiao Pass, it is estimated that I can't stop Cao Cao, but I will try my best to delay time for you, alas, success or failure is no longer up to us!"
Zhang Liao stood on top of the pass, looking at the Wei soldiers who were constantly retreating below, the light was a little complicated, he sighed, and said to himself helplessly.
Wei Bing suddenly withdrew his troops and did not attack Xiao Pass, his first feeling was not happy, but also a little uneasy.
It is impossible for Cao Cao to withdraw his troops, there are only two possibilities, the first is that Cao Cao found a way to crack Xiao Pass, and the second is that Cao Cao intends to abandon Xiao Pass, bypass Xiao Pass, and attack Xiapi from the north.
But even if he knew what to do, with today's troops, he was already glad that he could hold Xiao Pass.
Xiapi is also in danger!
β¦β¦
Half an hour later, the generals of the Wei State, one by one who came down from the battlefield, their eyes were bloodshot, their expressions were hideous, and they were a little unwilling to gather in the Chinese army camp in the camp.
"King, although Xiao Pass is dangerous, but the minister is determined to take Xiao Pass, why do you want to withdraw your troops?" Yu Ban went into battle in person several times, and there were blood stains on his cloak, he was blocked by Zhang Liao for two days, and his tone was a little rushed.
"King, as long as you give the last general a little more time, the last general will definitely be able to break through the left flank of Xiao Guan!" General Xu Huang also bowed his hand.
"King, one more day, Xiao Guan is broken, and we can drive straight into Xiapi!"
The generals said one after another.
"Smack!"
Cao Cao raised his head, slapped on the desk, there was a touch of coldness in his eyes, stared at the generals, and said: "Bastard, you and other 100,000 troops, attacked for two days in a row, suffered heavy casualties, but still can't take a Xiao Pass, what are you muttering?" β
When everyone heard this, they suddenly turned red, hung their heads and became depressed, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
"Forbidden!"
"The last general!"
"Lone now orders 20,000 soldiers from your department to be stationed in Xiao County, and Zhang Liao is against Xiao Pass, if you can fight, you will fight, if you can't fight, you will hold it, your task, drag him down!"
"No!" Yu Ban's eyes lit up slightly.
"Xu Huang!" Cao Cao acted vigorously and continued to point the generals.
"The last general!"
"Order the 10,000 soldiers of the Rubu to be the vanguard army, set off immediately, and be sure to quickly take Pengcheng within three days, cover our main force, turn to Wuyuan, set off from Wuyuan, take Liangcheng, and approach the north of Xiapi."
"No!"
"The generals listened to the order, and a day later, the army marched out, bypassing Xiao Pass, and entering Xiapi from the north." Cao Cao's eyes crossed a touch of determination, he didn't fight Xiao Pass, it wasn't that he couldn't break Xiao Pass, no matter how powerful Zhang Liao was, he couldn't stop the 100,000 Wei army.
He didn't fight because of Zhang Liao, and he believed that as long as Lu Buruo died, Zhang Liao would surrender to him.
Now that Zhang Liao is desperately resisting Xiao Guan for the sake of Lu Bu, he should give Zhang Liao a face and give up Xiao Guan.
"No!"
When everyone heard this, their faces changed slightly, but since Cao Cao had already made up his mind, they naturally would not object and began to prepare.
"King, there is Sun Quan in Donghai County!" Xi Zhicai reminded: "If you enter the East China Sea, you will be entangled by Sun Quan." β
"Lone knows that in the East China Sea in the past, Lone was chased and killed by Sun Quan's layout, there was no door to the sky, there was no way to enter the ground, and he was almost dead, this is the shame of Lone, and today Lone will take back the glory that belongs to Lone from the East China Sea, and completely kill Sun Quan!" Cao Cao's eyes flickered with a little coldness, and he was murderous.
"What about Xiapi?"
Xi Zhicai thought about it and asked.
"Xiapi is there, and I can't escape!"
The corners of Cao Cao's mouth outlined a strange arc, and he said in a deep voice: "Lu Bu, although he despises his character, but now he is a lone wolf in a desperate situation, and he will inevitably break out, he is a lonely bet in Xiapi City, Sun Jian, a fierce tiger, wants to eat him, it is not so easy!" β
"In a month's time, I believe that Lu Bu can still bear it!" Cao Cao said fiercely: "Lone will use such a month to clean up Sun Zhongmou first!" β
"Sun Zhongmou's son is young, but he has already become a jealous person in the king's heart!" Xi Zhicai thought of Sun Quan, and also thought that this person was dangerous, Cheng DΓΉ was not under Lu Bu, and if he could be killed, it would definitely be a good thing.
"Where has the army of Yuan Rangzhi been now?"
At this time, Cao Cao raised his head and asked.
"Still in Tarzan!"
Xi Zhicai's face was a little bitter and said.
"Why is it so slow?" Cao Cao frowned when he heard this.
"Because Lanling City is blocked!"
Xi Zhicai said softly: "Sun Quan's army went ashore from Yuzhou Mountain, quickly took Lanling, and then smashed down the heavy troops here, the Wu State guard general of Lanling City is not simple, he let go of all the cities around Lanling, and he is stuck in Lanling City, Lanling is the main road that Mount Tai must pass through when he goes south, if he does not pull out Lanling, General Xiahou's soldiers and horses dare not go south, if the Wu army of Lanling comes from behind, our soldiers and horses will be scattered, but Lanling City is not easy to fight. β
"Wu Guo is full of talents!" Cao Cao smiled bitterly.
"At present, Fengxiao is really looking for a way to break through Lanling, but the effect is not great!" Xi Zhicai also sighed.
"Can't let Yuan Rang spend it in Lanling, quickly give Yuan Rang an order!"
Cao Cao paced back and forth, looking at the terrain on the sand table, although the sand table was invented by Jiangdong, but the technical content is not high, and now it is a topographic map of the world when fighting a war.
He pondered for a moment before he said: "Let his soldiers divide into two routes, lead the main force, break away from Lanling, go east to Tancheng, attack Sun Zhongmou's soldiers and horses in front and back, defeat the soldiers and horses of Wu State at a fast speed, kill Sun Quan, and clean up Lanling when he turns back." β
"Lord, the scout is here, Sun Zhongmou's troops are not weak!"
When Xi Zhicai heard this, he was a little worried in his heart, and said: "There are not 100,000, there are 80,000, for a while, it is difficult to defeat, and when the time comes, the Wu State guard of Lanling will come back to his senses, and the danger is General Xiahou!" β
"Fighting, where there is no danger!"
Cao Cao smiled coldly and said, "Sun Zhongmou is qualified to let someone take risks for him, isn't it?" β
"Besides, there is Fengxiao in the Yuan Rang army, he will arrange it properly, Yuan Rang tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, if he can defeat Tancheng, take Ju County, Houqiu, I will go north and seize Pengcheng, I can trap Sun Quan's soldiers and horses in Wuyuan, Liangcheng, Siwu!"
Cao Cao's eyes were bright, with a hint of ambition, and he said firmly: "Sun Zhongmou will definitely die." β
When Xi Zhicai heard this, he was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao's jealousy of Sun Quan would actually come to this point, and he would not hesitate to give up Xiapi and kill Sun Quan first. (To be continued)
