Chapter 543: Knowing that the enemy army rarely wants to attack at night
As the dark night fell, the surroundings of Luoyang, which was full of people roaring and neighing, also calmed down with the setting sun, only the crisp sound of insects chirping "chirped" sang softly in the cool southeast wind full of flowers and plants. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As the night deepened, Cao Jun, who were tired from the long-distance attack, had already fallen asleep in such a night, but Cao Cao's mansion was still brightly lit.
Cao Cao, who was wearing a military crown and a battle robe on his head, knelt behind the desk and squinted at Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu and other assistants in front of him, and then opened his mouth and slowly opened his voice.
"The scouts have already found out the military situation, that Hua Fei Zhuzi only defended Gucheng with a meager force of 10,000 iron cavalry and 5,000 infantry troops, and the rest are useless troops.
Speaking of this, Cao Cao paused slightly, but continued in a cold voice: "I want to take advantage of the enemy's empty army to secretly kill Gucheng after midnight, and kill Nahua Fei to avenge today's battle, but I don't know what you think?" ”
"The lord has a wonderful plan!" Before Guo Jia and the others could reply, Cheng Yu hurriedly agreed, "At this time, there will only be three people on Huafei's side, Xu Chu, Ma Chao and Bao Chu, and the strength is only 15,000 people.
And our army has Dian Wei, Xia Houyuan, Zhang Liao, Le Jin and other fierce generals here, and the strength is several times that of the enemy.
It is difficult for them to exert the maximum attack power of the cavalry in the case of defending the city, and our lord should be able to defeat Hua Fei's army and retake Gucheng with one blow. ”
Speaking of this, he paused to look at Cao Cao, who was full of smiles, before continuing to say in a loud voice: "If my lord can successfully break through Gucheng, the left and right wings of Huafei's army will inevitably be defeated by our army.
What's more, the defeat is like a mountain, maybe my lord can also take advantage of the situation to chase and retake the Donghan Valley Pass, and even capture the daredevilant Hua Fei in the chaos of the army,
If this can be done, then Guanzhong and Xiliang and Yizhou land, my lord will be able to pass on the decision, this is a heaven-sent opportunity, my lord should do it quickly. ”
Cao Cao thought to himself when he heard this, what Cheng Yu said was exactly what he thought, but he squinted his lips on the spot and even crow's feet bloomed.
Suddenly, he stood up, pressed his hand on the sword, and was about to give a loud order, but unexpectedly, a person at the bottom of the stairs suddenly shouted loudly: "Lord, slow down!" ”
Cao Cao looked at it under the flickering firelight, and saw that Xun You, who looked loyal, was standing at the foot of the stairs with his fists clenched, but squinted his eyes and asked sideways: "Gongda, why are you obstructing?" ”
"My lord," Xun Yu said with his hands clenched into fists, "Since our army scouts can find out the news of Qinghua Fei's army, Hua Fei must also know the situation of our army.
He will definitely feel the danger after knowing that our army is gathered, so he will inevitably urgently transfer the cavalry of Zhang Ren and Gan Ning to quickly return to Gucheng, so his army will definitely not be only 15,000 people.
Moreover, the Huafei army has a strong city to defend, and our army is on the offensive back, so that the Huafei army can attack and defend, and deal with our army with a wait, which is really unfavorable for our army, so I hope that our lord will think twice before acting. ”
"Humph!" Before Cao Cao could answer, Cheng Yu on the side retorted with a breath in his nostrils, "Xun Gongda, you are really a child's opinion." ”
"Cheng Zhongde, why do you add evil words to someone?" No matter how honest a person is, he still has a three-point temper, Xun Yu saw Cheng Yu's words with sarcasm, and couldn't help but immediately say angrily, "Do you think there is something wrong with Xun's words?" ”
"That's right," Cheng Yu replied without flinching with his chin raised, "Don't forget that our army is attacking at night in siege battles, and it is not like the enemy cavalry can exert the power of impact when fighting on the plains.
Under the constraints of the terrain, even if Hua Fei has cavalry to help, this number must not be much, so what can such an army do to our army in the siege battle of seizing the city from each other? Isn't Gongda's insight a child's opinion? ”
"You ......"
Xun You was robbed of his yin and yang weirdness, and couldn't help but point at Cheng Yu with trembling fingers in anger, but because Cheng Yu made some sense and he was angry, he couldn't think of words to refute him for a while.
But there was Xun Yu, who was dressed in a fragrant body, and hurriedly came out of the queue to salute Cao Cao and said: "Lord, that Hua Fei has always been good at defending the city,
Now that he knows the military situation of our army, he will inevitably be prepared, and the matter of Pengcheng is not far away, and I hope that our lord can carefully consider not acting recklessly, so as not to regret it in the future. ”
At that time, Hua Fei forced Cao Cao, who was strong and strong, with only a weak force in Pengcheng, to do nothing, and at this time, Xun Yu's reintroduction of the old matter caused Cao Cao and everyone present to be secretly frightened.
But Cheng Yu was still unconvinced: "Gucheng is just an ordinary county town, and it is already dilapidated, which needs to be as dangerous as Napeng City." ”
"Yes, how can the dilapidated and unsafe Gucheng be compared with Peng Cheng, and Hua Fei had the time to help him back then, but now he has no time to borrow, it is the situation that is different from the past, if he leads the army to attack, it is not necessarily that he will be defeated again."
After Cao Cao heard Cheng Yu's words, he couldn't help but think in his heart.
"Really?" Guo Jia saw that Cheng Yu was unwilling to be convinced after Xun Yu opened his voice, but Shi Shiran, who got up and came out, rushed Cheng Yu and asked, "Since Zhongde has repeatedly wanted the lord to attack Huafei's Valley City, then he thinks that he will win.
In this case, Jia wanted to ask a question, but I don't know how sure Zhongde is of this battle in your heart? ”
"How many points?"
Cheng Yu asked himself, but then found that his confidence, which he was very sure of, had quietly disappeared without a trace due to the repetition of the Battle of Pengcheng, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed at the moment and couldn't answer and just lowered his head and groaned.
Cao Cao's strategists were arguing with each other, but Cao Cao watched coldly and found that Cheng Yu had been clearly isolated by everyone, and he understood the truth when he was a little silent.
Cao Cao naturally knows what Cheng Yu's personality is, that is, he is more important than fame and fortune and is not very easy to get along with, and Xun Yu and Guo Jia are obviously not the same people, and recently he has offered the people's lives to force back the Hua Fei army.
Thinking about it, he had already been despised by Xun Yu and others, and he was self-righteous and ridiculed Xun Yu who blocked his army, so he was embarrassed by Xun Yu and Guo Jia continuously.
In fact, Cao Cao didn't know that as early as that day, when he listened to Cheng Yu's plan and colluded with the Southern Xiongnu, Cheng Yu, who offered the plan, had been despised by Xun Yu and Guo Jia and others because of his poor virtue.
It's just that Cao Cao thought that Cheng Yu had always been loyal to him, and he didn't want to embarrass him too much in front of others, so he asked Guo Jia in a loud voice to solve his problems: "Fengxiao, do you want to say that if our army attacks tonight, there is no chance of victory?" ”
Guo Jia, who is very smart, knows the meaning of elegance when he hears the string song, how he doesn't know what Cao Cao means, but he just replied with a slight smile: "No." ”
"Oh?" When Cao Cao heard this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and asked, "Then Fengxiao means that our army can attack?" ”
Guo Jia shook his head and replied, "Not either!" ”
"Ugh!"
Cao Cao was puzzled by Guo Jia's left and right.
Guo Jia saw that Cao Cao's face was already a little displeased, so he opened his voice to explain to him: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and our army does have an advantage in strength.
It's just that Hua Fei is more intelligent, and it seems that Yijia seems that there is probably no one in this world who dares to say that he can win steadily, so the chances of our army winning are really not high. ”
"Humph! Speaking of which, you just don't agree with Cao Mou's leading the army to attack at night, but there are so many explanations. ”
Cao Cao saw that Guo Jia did not agree with his plan, but secretly slandered himself in his heart, but asked Guo Jia in a deep voice: "Although what Feng Xiao said is reasonable,
However, that Hua Fei from Tunzhong Army in Gucheng, but spread out two wings to attack Daguguan and Wushejin, such behavior has endangered Luoyang, in the end, we can only watch him do nonsense like this? (To be continued.) )
