Chapter 391 was captured instead of robbing the corpse, and used a series of tricks to capture Hanzhong

However, it was said that Huang Xu and Jiang Wei respectively led troops to surround the east and west gates of Hanzhong.

After the arrangements were made, Jiang Wei took the deputy general Cao Cheng to the East Camp to meet Huang Xu.

"Governor, Deng Ai was forced by Cao Tai a few days ago and has surrendered to me. In Chujiangling, he helped me annihilate more than 5,000 Cao Kai's soldiers! Now there are no more than 5,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong City! Jiang Wei said to Huang Xu.

Hearing this, Huang Xu was overjoyed and said to Jiang Wei: "In that case, why don't we attack?" There are more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in our army, and more than 10,000 soldiers have surrendered. ”

Storm?!

How many soldiers will you lose?

As the saying goes, 3,000 enemies are wounded, and 5,000 are self-inflicted!

It's a loss-making deal!

Jiang Wei hurriedly dissuaded: "Governor and slow, wait until I finish speaking." ”

As he spoke, he told how he surrounded Cao Kai, and how Cao Kai was caught and killed himself.

Hearing Jiang Wei say this, Huang Xu's heart moved, and he asked: "Could it be that Boyo wants to use Cao Kai's ......?"

Jiang Wei smiled and said, "Before coming, the last general had already arranged for Deng Ai to return Cao Kai's body to Cao Tai. The art of war is cloudy: the best way to surrender without a fight is the best policy! ”

"That's good! I'm waiting for your news for the time being, if this plan doesn't work, it's not too late to attack! Huang Xu said.

After the two discussed, Jiang Wei left.

Back at the camp, Jiang Wei saw that Deng Ai had tied Cao Kai's body outside the gate.

"If you don't send his body back, why are you so violent about the dead?" Seeing this, Jiang Wei was very displeased.

Deng Ai hurriedly explained: "There are still more than 5,000 soldiers in Hanzhong City, if Cao Kai's body is returned, Cao Tai will definitely mobilize the people in the city to defend the city together!" Needless to say, with the thick walls of Hanzhong City, it shouldn't be a problem to hold it for more than ten days! ”

"This!" Although Jiang Wei thought about this problem, he didn't think much about it.

Deng Ai continued: "Within ten days, as soon as the barbarian reinforcements of Sima Yi's department arrive, the general has not yet taken the city, and the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

"Therefore, you will leave Cao Kai's body here and lead Cao Tai out of the city to rob the corpse?" Jiang Wei asked.

Deng Ai shook his head and said, "Cao Tai won't come!" But Cao Fan, the third general of the Cao family, will definitely come! And he hid from Cao Tai and secretly went out of the city! ”

"Even? You know these three brothers very well! Jiang Wei didn't expect Deng Ai to be so familiar with the three Cao brothers, and he really couldn't figure out how he could be played like that, so he shook his head and drove away these thoughts, and said to Deng Ai: "In this case, if you get this city, you will be credited!" Let me in your account! ”

The two came to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Deng Ai told Jiang Wei what he expected.

Hearing this, Jiang Wei was overjoyed.

After the discussion was completed, Jiang Wei summoned the deputy generals Cao Cheng and Zong Cheng, explained to them like this, and secretly divided the troops.

Deng Ai and Du Shu tied Cao Kai's body to the flagpole outside the gate.

Then, Deng Ai sent someone to send a letter to Cao Tai, which said: General Cao personally enlightened, a certain Deng Ai was persecuted by your brother, so he knew what was the right way? Abandon the darkness and turn to the light today, and return to the Han! A few days ago, I met with the second general Cao Kai unexpectedly, and fought! The second general was defeated by a certain and killed himself! I wanted to bury it, but Ai was afraid that the general would be grieved, so he put it outside the gate! The general should be in person to retrieve it!.

The following inscription: Deng Ai respectfully.

Seeing this letter, Cao Tai was filled with grief and indignation!

When Cao Fan heard that his second brother had died in battle and his body was abused, he was furious and wanted to shoot out.

"Stop!" Cao Tai shouted.

Hearing this, Cao Fan stopped and asked unwillingly: "The second brother's bones are not cold, and the body is outside, can the elder brother bear it?" ”

"This is Deng Shizai's conspiracy. If you don't go, it's enough, once you get out of the city, you will get out of the way! Today, there are still 5,000 soldiers and horses in my city, mobilize the people in the city, defend Hanzhong, and protect it for ten days! Ten days later, Sima Zhongda brought troops to help, why worry about not defeating the Han army? Cao Tai rebuked loudly.

Cao Fan retorted: "Ten days? Why don't you want to expose the body of the second brother to the enemy camp for ten days? Ten days later, what will happen to the body of the second brother? ”

"The great husband stands in the world, and he should put national affairs first! You and I went into battle to kill the enemy, and we should have put life and death out of the way! The second brother sacrificed his life for the country and died a well-deserved death! Remember, you must not go out of the city unless ordered by such order! Cao Tai ordered.

"You!" Cao Fan was very angry and threw his sleeves away.

Deng Shizai!

If you don't avenge this revenge, you swear not to be a man!

The third brother's anger made Cao Tai even more resentful of Deng Ai.

He instructed people to look at Cao Fan well, and sent people to inquire about the news of Sima Yi's department.

Now, Sima Yi's reinforcements have become his only hope.

Besides, Cao Fan returned to Fuzhong.

The eldest brother was so unreasonable that he was very annoyed.

Dejectedly, he opened the wine jar, he took a sip, cried, and was sad and indignant.

Seeing this, the housekeeper in the house hurriedly came over to comfort: "Third master, don't hurt yourself!" If you hurt yourself before you take revenge, won't you be quick to kill your enemy? What's more, the uncle won't let you go, it's also for your own good! ”

"What's for my good? If he hadn't insisted on going his own way, he would have to force that Deng Ai! How could the second brother have suffered an accident? Now, for the sake of this city, he refuses to save the body of his second brother. He grumbled indignantly.

The old housekeeper glanced around, and when he saw that there was no one else, he whispered to Cao Fan: "The third master must not be sad. The old slave has a strategy that can make the third master snatch back the body of the second master. ”

Hearing this, Cao Fan was overjoyed, quickly grabbed the housekeeper's hands, and asked eagerly, "What do you do?" ”

"The third master just pretended to be drunk, and then lay down here. After a while, the old slave helped the third master to the back room. In the middle of the night, after the uncle fell asleep, the third master took the cavalry of his headquarters to kill from the west gate, went to the outside of Jiang Wei's camp, snatched the body of the second master and returned! The cavalry is fast, the enemy just wants to chase, and when he reacts, he is afraid that it will be too late! The butler offered advice.

After thinking about it carefully, Cao Fan hurriedly made a lot of sense, so he followed his words.

In the middle of the night, most of the people in the city were already asleep!

Cao Fan quietly got up and walked out the back door.

The old butler with a thousand cavalrymen was already waiting behind the courtyard.

The horse's hooves were covered with cowhides, and the horse's mouth was full of chews.

Seeing this, Cao Fan was overjoyed and led everyone to the West Gate.

The guards at the west gate had already been opened, and when they saw them coming, they immediately opened the gate.

As soon as they got out of the city gate, Cao Fan's troops got on their horses and went straight to Jiang Wei's camp to kill.

A few miles away, in the blink of an eye.

In front is the binding place of Cao Kai's body.

A thick flagpole more than ten feet high, on which hung a corpse, swayed back and forth with the wind.

A group of soldiers below stood behind the antlers of the horse and lined up to meet each other.

"General Cao San, I've been waiting for a long time! Why don't you get off your horse and surrender? Suddenly, a general appeared behind the group of soldiers, holding a spear in his hand, who was it not Deng Ai?

"Deng Ai, quickly return my brother's body!" Cao Fan shouted.

Deng Ai smiled and said, "Then it depends on your ability!" ”

I saw Deng Ai shake the spear in his hand, and the drums in the camp shook the sky, and a team of soldiers and horses broke out of the camp.

Not good!

Hit the trick!

At this time, Cao Fan realized that he had been tricked!

Feeling deceived, he turned his horse's head and wanted to withdraw his troops.

However, Deng Ai had already seen it in his eyes, how could he let him escape?

The spear was pointed, but he shouted, "Take them down!" ”

Cao Fan felt his body fall forward!

It turns out that the ground is full of trips!

In the blink of an eye, a thousand cavalry were captured!

After capturing Cao Fan, Deng Ai walked directly to the housekeeper, stretched out his hand to untie the rope for him, and said, "General Hu, hard work!" ”

General Hu?

Yes, this person's name is Hu Lie, and I mentioned it in the previous document.

He took off the beard from his mouth and smiled at Cao Fan: "Third Master, thank you for taking care of you in the past three years!" After speaking, he followed behind Deng Ai.

Deng Ai brought him to see Jiang Wei.

"General, this is Hu Lie, the deputy general before Ai. Ai Wei was afraid that the Cao family would harm each other, so General Hu sneaked into Cao's mansion and expected to use it today! Deng Ai introduced Hu Lie to Jiang Wei.

"I've seen the general." Hu Lie saluted Jiang Wei and said.

Jiang Wei was overjoyed and said, "Next, you still need to rely on General Hu." ”

"The last general is willing to go to the soup for the general, and he will not give up!" After Hu Lie finished speaking, he glued his beard, and then took dozens of cavalrymen to bid farewell to Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, and headed towards Hanzhong.

Looking at Hu Lie's distant figure, Jiang Wei said with emotion: "Shizai, thanks to you, this battle is thanks to you!" Otherwise, I don't know how many people will die? ”

"You and I are generals, it's not by nature to kill! Stopping the killing with war is the foundation of the general! Go to the army to plot, and surrender without a fight! How much is this for the height that the general wants to achieve? Deng Ai also sighed.

The two orangutans cherished each other and smiled at each other.

Jiang Wei said: "It's time to take you to meet General Huang Ziheng!" After finishing speaking, he took Deng Ai to see Huang Xu.

Besides, Hu Lie pretended to be defeated and fled, returned to the city of Hanzhong, and eagerly called for the city gate to be opened.

When the city guard saw that it was Hu Lie, he quickly opened the city gate.

The moment the city gate opened, thousands of black shadows suddenly poured out from both sides of the city gate, rushed in front of Hu Lie, and rushed into the city.

It was too dark, and the city guards didn't pay attention at all, but when they saw Hu Lie and the others standing still, they scolded in their hearts: "Damn, don't you hurry up and enter the city!" @被发现了, Lao Tzu can't eat and walks around! ”

Thinking like this, he lowered his voice and shouted, "Old butler, it's not as good as the city, when will you stay?" ”

After saying this, he inadvertently swept to the city.

Damn!

This black head is shaking, what's going on?

Why is it dark in the shadows?

You should be able to see the city gates, huh?

It turns out that the torches on the city gate have been replaced!

The one that was replaced actually blocked the light below, making it dark under the light!

At that time, the people were very superstitious!

Seeing the black shadow longingly, the soldiers guarding the guard screamed: "Ah! Ghosts! As soon as it was dark, he fainted.

What the hell is there? This is a soldier from Zongcheng's department!

They have been lying in ambush here for half the night!

As soon as the gates opened, they rushed straight into the city!

On the fourth watch, Cao Tai was uneasy, so he led his troops to inspect the west gate.

Suddenly, he saw that the city gate seemed to be open in the distance, and he secretly said in his heart that it was not good!

He was about to send someone to check, but he found a person running in front of him.
