The soldiers of Cao's army lined up five hundred paces from the city, and the people set up camp a thousand paces away. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 On the head of the city, there is a rectangular banner and a square flag embroidered with the character "Zhang".

It refers to the flag decorated with a yak tail, which is not something anyone can use, only the supreme commander of the whole army can erect this flag, whether it is their own side or the enemy, the most important thing to pay attention to when killing the red eye is whether the other party and their own army are still standing, if it is still there, then continue to kill, if not, then most of the soldiers will collapse in an instant, because the absence of the commander means that their boss is finished.

Whether you are a general or a soldier, when you are covered in blood, your own towering is the pillar of your spirit, and the other party's towering is your driving force. On the contrary, if the other party falls, you may be in good spirits, and if you fall, you will be distraught.

Now there are banners of Xuanjing and Zhang Zi erected on the city, without him, it means that the coach Zhang Xiu is in the city. Looking towards the head of the city from where Cao Pi was located, he could even see the shadowy heads of people on the head of the city, and it was obvious that Zhang Xiu's army was waiting for it.

Now Cao Pi is a little curious that since Cao Cao wants to use the ancient tomb in Anzhong to win, then there must be no point in attacking the city now. If it is captured, how to break the coalition of Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu? So Cao Pi opened his mouth and asked Guo Jia beside him: "Since you want to win in Anzhong, isn't it a waste of manpower to attack the city at this time?" In the end, didn't you want to lure Zhang Xiu's army out of the city and defeat it in Anzhong? ”

If Cao Pi is now, he will choose to cut off the traffic of the city and make it a lonely city, relying on a lot of food, consuming, and consuming Liu Biao's reinforcements, and then retreating, Zhang Xiu will inevitably go out of the city to pursue, because this is a good opportunity to attack before and after. When Anzhong took advantage of the ancient tomb in all directions, he used the strategy of confusing the enemy to break the Zhang and Liu coalition forces.

Guo Jia smiled and asked instead of answering: "Childe, do you still remember the defeat of our army in Wancheng last year?" ”

When Cao Pi heard this, he remembered the night he had crossed again, with the strong smell of blood, the sound of dense blade strikes, and all kinds of cheers. There are also mixed with the pictures of Cao Pi's previous witnesses in Cao Pi who were pierced by powerful arrows and died, split in half by the ring head knife, and died by long hair piercing their bodies. Suddenly shuddered, nodded and said, "The memory is still fresh." ”

"The one who made the plan in that battle was Jia Xu, a strategist under Zhang Xiu, who had been officially named General Xuanyi when Li Yu and Guo Yan occupied Chang'an, and he was a capable person.... If we arrive at the bottom of the city and do not attack the city, with the wisdom of Jia Xu, how can we not know our plan to lure the enemy, when our army retreats, he advises Zhang Xiu not to pursue, and our plan to lure the enemy will be useless. Guo Jia said slowly.

"If the siege of the city fails and our army retreats, can't Jia Xu see that this is a plan to lure the enemy?"

"Nature knows."

"Now that he knows, Jia Xu will also advise Zhang Xiu, won't he pursue it? In my opinion, whether to pursue or not, it depends on whether Liu Biaojun has arrived at Anzhong, if Zhang Xiu knows that Liu Biaotun's soldiers are Anzhong, he will inevitably pursue, so that if it is a front and rear attack, our army only has 30,000 sergeants, and also has 60,000 people, these 60,000 people have no armor, blades, and neglect the battle formation, and Zhang Xiu rushed into chaos, and Liu Biao attacked at the other end, plus he stationed troops to Anzhong, cutting off the way back of our army. At first glance, the momentum of the front and rear attacks can make us suffer from the catastrophe, so even if Zhang Xiu knows that we are a plan to lure the enemy, he will still chase after us. Cao Pi spoke his mind.

He also knew what kind of character Jia Xu was, and later this person took refuge in Cao Cao, although he was not too active, but in Cao Cao's pacification of Guanzhong and Xiliang's battle, Jia Xu's strategy made Ma Chao and Han Sui, who were in the northwest, defeated in that battle, and said that he was a genius. It's just that even if he is as wise as him, he will be fooled in a situation where he is sure to win, right? No one knew that Cao Jun still held a huge ancient tomb under Anzhong that could be used as an authentic, and even if Jia Xu was a god, he would not know, so when Liu Biao's reinforcements arrived in Anzhong, Zhang Xiu would inevitably chase after him, even if he knew that there was a risk, he would chase him.

Guo Jia nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It is true that after Liu Jingsheng arrives in Anzhong, Zhang Xiu will inevitably chase after him, but.... Sikong hoped that Zhang Xiu would chase after him angrily, so that the use of the ancient tomb would be more effective. ”

"Angry chase?" Cao Pi was stunned when he heard this, could it be that if he attacked the city, Zhang Xiu would chase after him angrily? It's not so naïve, is it? And if you can't attack the city, others will still be proud, right? How can you be angry? But he didn't plan to ask any more, because he saw a strange smile on Guo Jia's pale face, and there was a deep content under this smile, and Cao Pi felt that he would soon know the answer.

The work efficiency of 60,000 people is very fast, before dark, Cao Pi is camped, Cao Pi still lives next to Cao Cao's Chinese army tent, and after a day of marching, Cao Pi is also a little tired, so the doubts that arise when talking to Guo Jia did not bother him for a long time, and he fell asleep not long after.

The next day, Cao Pi was woken up by the sound of drums. This rapid drum beat only proves one thing: the Cao army is about to attack the city, but when Cao Pi walked out of the tent, he found that the Cao army's barracks were very quiet, and the sergeants' spears were neatly set up in the shape of umbrellas outside the tent, which only showed that the sergeants in the tent had not gotten up yet. Such scenes abound everywhere Cao Pi's eyes looked, and there was no sense of urgency to attack the city at all, even on the eve of the expulsion, there were more people walking around the camp than now.

Outside the camp tent at this time, five Tiger Guard Battalion sergeants walked by, and the captain was saluting Cao Pi, and Cao Pi immediately asked, "Is this the drumbeat of the siege?" ”

"Exactly."

"I wonder which battalion attacked the city?"

"Hui Gongzi is a thousand dead soldiers selected from the people's camp, and there is no master to lead him." After saying that, the captain continued to patrol.

Dead soldiers in the people's camp? Is this to consume the opponent's bow and arrows? This is indeed a good means, let the sergeant open his bow to aim, force the people to attack the city, the city is broken, and those who survive can not only get a heavy reward, but also transfer to the army, since the front and back are dead, the people will naturally move forward bravely, and when the soldiers defending the city are tired, the regular sergeants guarding the back immediately rush up and attack the city. But if only a thousand people are dead men.... That's not enough! As soon as someone else shoots down a random arrow, he will almost die. And now the people in the barracks haven't gotten up, how can it look like they are going to attack the city?

Cao Pi glanced at the Chinese army tent next to him in confusion, just as Guo Jia walked out of it, saw Cao Pi, and greeted him with a smile: "Son, be polite." ”

"Courtesy, sir." Although he was puzzled, Cao Pi didn't plan to ask, since yesterday he couldn't guess Cao Cao and Guo Jia's intentions, and when he asked every day, wouldn't that lower his IQ? Wouldn't it be better to be unfathomable?

"In the evening today, please move to the high post outside the camp, and you can see why Zhang Xiu is angry." Guo Jia laughed as he spoke, looking extremely weird.
