Chapter 568: Attacking the city and sending reinforcements is a clever plan
Cao Ren, who led the army back, looked at Cheng Yu with a smile on his face from time to time, and made up his mind to tell Ah Pu that there would be negotiations in the future and must not be handed over to this old thing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
How can there be a reason to ask others to report the number of people if they want to give compensation, and how can there be a way to raise the number of people without pressing down, and how can there be a reason to give as much as someone says?
That's a full three million catties of grain, an old guy didn't even blink an eye and agreed to pay others, this is purely a loser, this person is a big and old loser, and he feels that this food is not his, so he is not distressed at all!
Cao Ren looked at him more times, and Cheng Yu, the human spirit, also sensed the meaning in his gaze, and said to himself: "Oh, this thing has come to this point,
The strategy of the lord and the old man and others is also half of the success, and then it depends on whether the Qiang and the Southern Huns can give it or not, I hope they can beat Nahua and quickly send an order to transfer troops back to Guanzhong! ”
Speaking of this, Cheng Yu suddenly paused on his horse, and then looked at Cao Ren in the northeast and said urgently: "The general can quickly send a fast horse to order Cao Xiu in the north to suspend the collection of troops." ”
"Why?"
Cao Ren was puzzled when he stared at Cheng Yu, who was long and thin, and his eyes widened, and he didn't understand that the three-way army had already retreated in two ways, so why did he only retreat from his nephew Cao Xiu?
Cheng Yumeng hurriedly explained: "That Chengdu Zhang Ren Zhiyong Shuangquan is a rare commander with handsome talents, if he leads the army back to Gucheng after Cao Xiu retreats, won't it be troublesome then?" ”
That's right, although Xu Chu said that he was brave and unstoppable, no matter how he said it, it was better to deceive than that Zhang Ren, and for the sake of the military, he couldn't let that Zhang Ren return easily.
Cao Ren was alert when he heard this, so he hurriedly wanted to ask someone to go to pass the order, but suddenly remembered something and looked at Cheng Yu and asked: "But Wenlie's lone army is stationed outside Pingyin County, if he doesn't retreat, wouldn't it be dangerous if that Zhang Ren and Xu Chu attacked him back and forth?" ”
"Oops!" Cheng Yu was so anxious that he patted his thigh and said, "Then Xu Chu agreed to a truce when he saw that there was a large amount of food to be obtained, which shows that Hua Feijun has no heart to fight.
If they see that Cao Xiu will not withdraw his troops, they will only send people to Luoyang to protest first, and how can there be any reason to attack directly, aren't they afraid that they will provoke us and not give them military rations? ”
Cao Ren saw that the same is true for his heart, so he made up his mind a little and heard Cheng Yu continue: "If you are still not at ease, you can order Cao Xiu to transfer to the east of Pingyin County, so that he can connect the village in the north and the mountains in the south.
In this way, once there is something, you can quickly retreat from Wushejin to the revolving gate, and remember to tell Cao Xiu to pretend to be unconvinced and disobey the order and not retreat, and then I will wait before I can speak. ”
This sinister old fellow has a belly full of intrigues, and in my opinion, if anyone runs into you, it will only be unlucky.
Cao Ren secretly scolded Cheng Yu in his heart, but he also understood that what he said was reasonable, so he hurriedly ordered someone to fly to report to Cao Xiu and let him act according to the order, so he and Cheng Yu led the army back to Luoyang City.
The subsequent development of this matter seemed to be very smooth for Cao Jun, first Cao Xiu did not retreat Zhang Ren really did not dare to return to Gucheng easily,
And Xu Chu did just send someone to threaten Cheng Yu as Cheng Yu expected, but Cheng Yu broke it down with clever words and successfully delayed the time.
It was not until the afternoon of the fourth day of the first month of October that Xu Chu ordered an army to attack Cao Xiu because of fruitless negotiations, and Cheng Yu saw that the time had almost been delayed, so he asked Cao Ren to strictly order Cao Xiu to withdraw to the area of Wushejin.
At this time, Cao Cao had already led his elite soldiers and fierce generals into Luoyang City in the name of transporting three million catties of grain, and at the same time, Xia Houdun, who was sitting in Yanzhou, also sent Cai Yang to lead troops to converge for the same reason.
All of a sudden, Luoyang City, the original imperial capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, had more than 100,000 elite soldiers inside, and all kinds of offensive equipment had already been prepared.
Cao Cao has invested enough capital for this operation, not only transporting a large amount of military rations, but also arranging everything properly, and the army of Luoyang City is gathered.
Xun Yu and Xun Yu of Xu Du are still in full swing arranging the appointment of officials and the transfer of food, soldiers and other things in the territory they occupy in the future, and once the situation is good, they must attack with all their strength without stopping, and do not seek to hit Huafei's forces to the greatest extent.
And the hard work paid off, on the cold night of the fourth day of the first month of October, when Cao Cao was secretly preparing to send all the generals to lead the army in Luoyang City, a large number of scouts who had already been sent sent back an urgent report:
The sound of hooves in Gucheng is like thunder, and there is a bright red dragon that has left the city from the west gate, and is rushing to the direction of Donghan Guguan in the west, and the people of Pingyin County are shouting horses and neighing lively, which seems to be a sign that Zhang Ren is preparing to return to Gucheng.
"Good! The mobilization of Huafei's army must be the reason why its Guanzhong is threatened, and the moment that Cao has been waiting for has finally come! ”
Cao Cao, who had been waiting impatiently, heard the news of the attack, and his eyes were shining to the west, and he pressed his sword and hurriedly turned back and forth twice to calm his excitement a little.
Then he stood in front of the desk and shouted: "Cao Ren obeys orders!"
"The last general!" Cao Ren responded to the order and shouted loudly, after all, the heart is a family, and the first person who thinks of this person must be Cao Mou, who is the same as him.
But he heard Cao Cao shout with the order in his hand: "Zhang Rennai is a famous general in Chengdu, and the heroic and extraordinary non-general is not enough to deal with him, so you can lead the infantry to block his way at 10,000 speeds.
Don't let him return to Gucheng smoothly, and then someone will send an order to Cao Xiu, so that he can lead the army to attack Pingyin County and cooperate with you, and there must be no mistake in getting the order. ”
"The last general—command!"
Cao Ren heard that he asked him to stop the enemy, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but because he knew that what Cao Cao said was true and this was a formal occasion, he had to agree weakly.
Cao Cao didn't have time to pay attention to his mood, so he immediately took the order again: "Cao Chun listens to the order!" ”
"The last general!"
"Order you to lead 10,000 infantry troops south to Yique, and not to order Ma Tie to have a single soldier to come to support Gucheng and Donghan Guguan, and someone will summon Cao Zhen to cooperate with you, and the two of you can work together to capture Yique Pass for our army."
"The last general—command!"
Cao Chun, who knew that the situation was not good, sighed secretly, and then bowed down to receive the order.
Cao Cao took the order to drink again after cutting off the two wings of the Hua Fei Army's reinforcements: "Yu Ban listens to the order!" ”
"The last general!"
"You can lead 10,000 infantry troops to temporarily station in Luoyang City, wait for Wen Ruo's receiving army to come, and be ready to escort grain and grass and siege equipment forward at any time, so as to meet the consumption of our army along the way, there must be no mistake!"
"The last general commands!"
Cao Cao took the order after finishing the defense: "Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong and Le Jin obey orders!" ”
"The last general!" The three generals should be out of the ranks.
Cao Cao ordered: "The three of you are good at foot combat, you can each lead 10,000 elite soldiers and bring more siege equipment, with Miaocai as the main general Zilian and Wen Qian to help, you and the three of you can sneak out of Luoyang City quietly in the night when the sky is about to dawn.
Then he took the north side and bypassed Gucheng and went straight to the dense forest north of the Donghan Valley Pass Fortress, but he hid the army in a hidden place.
If you can't attack, you can only avoid it, and when your army passes, you can quickly wave your army and take advantage of the situation to open the main road to Guanzhong for our army. ”
"The last general commands!"
Xia Houyuan and the other three were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly clenched their fists and ordered them to hurry.
Cao Cao ordered again: "Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Cai Yang listen to the order!" ”
"The last general!" The three of them, who were all a little anxious, hurriedly came out and hugged their fists.
Cao Cao glanced at the excited three, but he was a little distrustful of Cai Yang's ability, and he couldn't help but regret that he didn't replace Cao Chun, who led the cavalry first.
But without much hesitation, he immediately ordered: "The five thousand cavalry under the command of the three of you are a sharp weapon for our army, you can quickly prepare and then secretly follow the infantry of Miaocai and others.
Early tomorrow morning, Xu Chu and others of Huafei's army will have run away, and the guards of Donghan Valley Pass will also lead troops to rescue them after hearing that Gucheng is in trouble.
It is not necessary to use the speed of cavalry to kill the defeated Hua Fei army with all his might, and the defeated Hua Fei army must not be allowed to reveal the news, and the fortresses in the rear of Hua Fei will be prepared. ”
"The last general commands!"
The three of them obeyed the order, and Cao Cao then turned his head and rushed to Cheng Yu and said: "Zhongde can quickly send more capable scouts from Gucheng, Donghan, Xin'an and other places to the outposts to think that they are the eyes and ears of our army. ”
"Don't worry, lord!" Cheng Yu bowed, and then turned around and left excitedly.
In the end, Cao Cao ordered Li Dian to lead 10,000 infantry troops to help Dian Wei's subordinates who were accompanying him prepare to attack Gucheng, and he and Guo Jia and Cheng Yu led 20,000 Chinese troops to march subsequently. (To be continued.) )
