Chapter 448: Fiction is real, reality is fiction
Outside the city of Wude
It's not calm at this time!
Within nearly twenty miles from the city, you can see the fierce fighting scenes of scouts on both sides everywhere. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is no smoke of war, no drums of war, no flags and shouts of killing!
The seemingly calm grass and ditch will suddenly sound the bowstring, and the cold arrow will be shot, and the person who hits the arrow will be killed instantly.
Or from a hidden place, a scout lying in the shadows, or a successful kill, or a fight for life and death, until the last party spurts blood and is unwilling to fall to the ground, and the belongings on their bodies are searched!
Sun Tzu's Art of War: Know your opponent and confidant, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles; Knowing oneself without knowing the other, one wins and one loses; I don't know who I am, I don't know myself, I will die in every battle.
In this day and age, scouts are the most important source of espionage intelligence.
In order to block the news of Wude City, Lu Bu not only sent all the scouts, but also sent a large number of personal soldiers to scatter around Wude City!
Feng Yao also secretly ordered Liu Shun's scouts in Hanoi and Yuan Ping's eyeliner in Hanoi to be dispatched one by one, but anyone who wants to leak secrets, no matter who it is, will be killed on the spot!
Not only on the shore, Feng Yao also sent out some smaller boats, not to transport, but to send tiger guards to block the Yellow River, which is more than ten miles long near the ferry, and all ships that approached were all impounded, and no one or any boat was allowed to leave.
……
Xiuwu City
Cao Cao's military camp
News kept coming, but except for the news about Mi Zhu's defeat at the beginning, no useful information was received!
All of them are:
"My lord, our scouts have suffered heavy casualties! The scouts of the Lu Bu army are approaching Xiuwu City! ”
"Report, I can't contact the friendly forces in Shanyang County!"
"My lord, in addition to Shanyang County, the soldiers of Gongxian, Huojia, Jixian, Chaoge and other counties have been ordered to arrive."
"Report, I can't find out the direction of Feng Yao's army!"
“……”
Cao Cao frowned and hurriedly ordered to probe again.
This time, in order to establish his sphere of influence in Hanoi, Cao Cao came almost all of his troops except for a small number of disabled soldiers and their families!
Hanoi, Cao Cao is bound to win! But the situation in front of us is foggy.
A battle with Lu Bu, although it occupies the right time and place, but Lu Bu will always be the nemesis of the Cao army, mentioning the name of Lu Bu, the soldiers are not frightened, do not dare to fight with it, if it is not for Dian Wei, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Le Jin and other fierce front to resist Lu Bu, I am afraid that it is not the opponent of Lu Bu's army at all.
In the first battle of Ji County, although there was Xun Yu's clever plan, but the two sides only fought to a draw, each with thousands of casualties, this time in order to defeat Lu Bu, Cao Cao did not hesitate to promise heavy profits to the counties and counties, so he had to come to help!
"Lord, why don't we postpone the attack and let Lu Bu attack Huai County, and then we will attack Huai County from behind! In this way, Liu Bei can't blame us for not sending troops as agreed! Xun Yu said.
Cao Cao pondered for a long time, shook his head and said: "Wen Ruo, Huai County is the seat of Hanoi governance, if Lu Bu gets it, and then calls on Zhang Yang's old department to denounce us and others, won't it make our division unknown?" Besides, this time, I invited soldiers from several counties to jointly besiege Lu Bu, and I am afraid that such an opportunity will never be found in the future! Don't mention this matter again, it's better to think about how our army will attack Wude! ”
When Xun Yu heard this, his expression was gloomy and he didn't say anything more.
A look of extreme disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his original state, and these Cao Cao did not notice.
Since Yingchuan was broken by Feng Yao, Xun Yu was killed, and the power of the Xun family in Yingchuan plummeted, Cao Cao began to snub Xun Yulai, although he did not say it explicitly, but with Xun Yu's cleverness, he could not understand it, and it could even be said that if it were not for his brother Xun Chen being reused in Yuan Shao, for Cao Cao, there is still use value, and his attitude towards him will be even more cold!
Until night
Cao Cao led the army to conquer in person, ordered Xiahou Dun and Le Jin to be the vanguard, ordered Xun Yu and Xiahou Yuan to guard the Wucheng City, and led Dian Wei and Cao Hong to kill the city of Wude.
Halfway through, he suddenly saw a forest, gloomy and weird, Cao Cao hurriedly stopped the army, "Here our army scouts have not been able to find information, there must be enemy ambushes!" ”
Xiahoudun said in disbelief: "My lord, from martial arts cultivation to martial arts, the terrain is flat all the way, and there are ambush soldiers, so what are you afraid of!" Besides, with Feng Yao on Lu Bu's side, how could he waste his troops here! ”
Cao Cao said: "The art of war is cloudy, it is real, Feng Yao thought that we didn't believe that there was an ambush here, so he deliberately ambushed, wanting to scare our army away in a battle!" Listen to me! ”
Cao Cao urgently ordered Le Jin to lead the sword and shield soldiers as the front army, rushed into the forest, and ordered Xiahou to outflank Cao Hong from the left and right, and personally took Dian Wei to the battle!
Let's say that as soon as Le Jin rushed into the forest, he heard an earth-shattering cannon sound, and an army rushed out from each side.
"Hahaha! Cao Cao'er, the plan of my lord is also, don't accept your life soon!! "The first general on the left is Cheng Lian, a confidant under Lu Bu.
"Kill!! Kill!! Kill!! "The one on the right will be Lu Bu's wife and brother, and Wei Xu, Lu Bu's most trusted general!
Le Jin was shocked, and hurriedly ordered the infantry to form a formation, shouting: "Swear to defend the lord to the death!" ”
The forest was already dark, the torches flickered and dimmed, and in the shouting and killing, the two armies rushed together, and the screams came and went, and Le Jin couldn't hold it, and suddenly, Cheng Lian and Wei Xu were in chaos in the rear.
"My Xiahoudun is here!"
"My lord has already seen through your ambush and suffered death!!"
Cheng Lian and Wei Xu had already prepared in their hearts, and when they saw this, they immediately shouted to retreat!
Xiahoudun and Cao Hong tasted the sweetness, how could they let the enemy escape, and hurriedly raised troops to chase after them from behind, killing Cheng Lian and Wei Xu all the way to the rear screaming miserably, hating his father and mother for having two legs.
Cao Cao was overjoyed, and said to the generals: "The art of war is cloudy, but it is actually false, at this time, Wude City must be empty, and our army can't find out the news during the day, it is Lu Bu who is retreating, afraid that we will take advantage of the situation to pursue!" ”
At this time, all the generals were convinced, and they all hugged their fists and said: "The lord is wise, we are convinced!" ”
Cao Cao hurriedly ordered the army to speed up, and it was not far away, and he received that the county soldiers were also approaching Wude City, and he was even more overjoyed, and said: "Heaven help me!" This time we will avenge the seizure of Yanzhou! ”
But Cao Cao didn't know that this was Feng Yao's plan, thinking that it was a good opportunity, and ordered the army to follow Cheng Lian Wei Xu's army, and kill Wude City, seeing that there were few defenders at the head of the city, Cheng Lian and Wei Xu each led more than 1,000 people, and urgently shouted to open the city gate, and wanted to enter the city.
Cao Cao said: "Void is empty!" Want to cheat me with an empty city? Don't I know, Lu Bu already had 30,000 soldiers, and he lost at least 7,000 troops in the previous battle, and he lost 2,000 just now, and there are only 20,000 soldiers at most, so the city must be empty at this time! Quickly seize this city, Hugh is leaving, Lu Bu! ”
However, Cao Cao is suspicious after all, since he was in Puyang City and almost died in Puyang, no matter what, Cao Cao will not enter the city easily!
Dian Wei was excited to lead his troops into the city, but Cao Cao stopped him, "Wait, if there are really few troops in the city, and there are many troops entering, it is enough to destroy the enemy and capture this city, if you accidentally fall into the trap left by the enemy, my life will be suspended!" ”
Cheng Lian, Wei Xu in order to attract Cao Cao to chase, his soldiers have been killed more than half, the loss of about two thousand, after entering the city, not caring about the heartache of the loss of the generals, according to the plan all the way to the west gate retreat, and the rear, Xiahou Xuan, Cao Hong, Le Jin three generals marched together, in hot pursuit.
