Chapter 130 If you want to seek merit, you will chase the enemy first, and the fake enemy soldier Zhongkang will take the city
It is said that Guo Jia accompanied Cao Cao to check the situation in Yanzhou, and found that the city walls in the northeast were all newly built, so he implemented the strategy of "hiding from the sky and crossing the sea".
However, Chen Gong saw through Guo Jia's plan, and if the people changed their clothes and pretended to be soldiers to pretend to guard the northeast city, they also made the elite soldiers hide in the private houses in the southwest.
That night, Cao Cao sent Guo Jia to lead a feint attack in the northeast of Yanzhou, and then Yin commanded the fierce generals Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others to attack the southwest city gate.
The guards in the city were really small, and when they saw that there were many of them, they had already run away.
Cao Cao was overjoyed, waved his army to break the door, and entered first.
In an instant, they were halfway down the street.
After all, Yanzhou is the foundation of Cao Cao's foothold, so before entering the city, he made three chapters of the law, prohibiting soldiers from entering the city and entering private houses, and violators should be beheaded.
Seeing that Cao Cao, who was at the front, was about to rush out of this street, suddenly a cannon rang out in front, and a sentry horse flashed out of the street, leading a fierce general.
I saw him wearing a golden crown of hair, and the pheasant feathers on the golden crown fluttered back and forth; Hanging a hundred flowers in a robe, with a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, he blocked the street, and shouted: "Cao Apu, there is really a way in heaven for you not to go, and there is no door to hell!" I've been waiting here for a long time! ”
"Ahh Cao Cao was shocked and watched intently, but it was Lu Bu who led the soldiers and horses to block the way, and hurriedly turned around and shouted, "It's not good!" Hit the trick! ”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw countless elite soldiers on both sides of the street and on the rooftops, each holding a bow and arrow, and shooting wildly down on the street.
A rain of arrows rained down on Cao Cao and the others.
Cao Cao's guards Li Dian and Le Jin each protected Cao Cao with their blades, and each of them had one or two arrows.
Two more rounds of arrows rained down, and then a cannon rang out, and the arrows suddenly stopped, and Lu Bu suddenly slapped his horse up, rushed straight to Cao Cao, and shouted: "Cao Mengde, see if someone captures you!" ”
Seeing Lu Bu rushing towards him, Cao Cao fought a cold war, and said secretly: "It's really a disadvantage!" Facing this guy head-on! Could it be that God has no way of me?! ”
Just as he was thinking wildly, a loud shout came from behind him: "Lu Buxiu is going to be rampant, don't hurt my master!" ”
I saw a member of the Xiao generals rushing up from behind Cao Cao and stopping Lu Bu.
Cao Cao saw that it was Xiahou Dun.
Xiahou Dun is Lu Bu's opponent?
However, he wanted to abandon Lu Bu and run away alone.
Fortunately, Dian Wei and Xu Chu came from behind: "Yuan, don't panic, I'll help you!" ”
However, Lu Bu is too powerful, and the three of them have the upper hand together!
On the side, Gao Shun and the six strong generals rushed out, and Xiahou Yuan was defeated by Gao Shun, but more than ten times, he was panicked, gave up Gao Shun, and fled.
Wei Xu's department was located at the entrance of the street, and when he saw the three of them fighting Lu Bu, they came to the aid of the horse and resisted Xiahou Dun.
Xiahou Dun was frightened by Lu Bu, and when he saw Wei Xu rushing over, he was so frightened that he escaped with a horse.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu were no match for Lu Bu, and they also turned their horses and ran backwards.
At this time, Cao Cao, escorted by Li Dian and Le Jin, rushed halfway through the street.
Lu Bu's soldiers killed Song Xian and Hou Cheng, but were stopped by Li Dian. Li Dian, who was injured in the leg, was brave and unabated at the beginning, and resisted the two of them stubbornly.
Cao Cao fled in a panic, shocked in his heart. Fortunately, Le Jin was desperately guarding on the side, and Fang broke free from wave after wave of enemy attacks.
However, it was already deep into the city, and Lu Bu's army and horses seemed to block the way back, and Cao Cao was quite desperate.
Suddenly, at the city gate, there was a commotion.
Cao Cao was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted: "Reinforcements have arrived!" Everyone must rush to the death! Rush over and you'll be saved! ”
Sure enough, a group of soldiers and horses rushed through the city gate, led by the school captain Manzhong, Mao Jie, and Lu Qian.
Lu Bujian killed Cheng Lian and Hao Yin.
Man Zhong and Lu Qian stopped them, and Mao Jiezi led his troops and horses to rush to kill, and killed Cao Cao approached: "Don't panic, the military advisor sent someone to save the lord!" ”
"How is Bonghyo?" Cao Cao asked.
Mao Jie replied: "There are only some people in the northeast, and our army has not suffered many casualties!" ”
"This is Chen Gongtai's plan! Fortunately, Fengxiao was flexible in time, otherwise, a certain person would have died here! Cao Cao sighed.
Cao Cao finally rushed out of the city, but the soldiers behind him didn't know how many were ghosts and lonely ghosts, in short, those generals were really brave and rushed out desperately.
Lu Bu led his troops to chase them outside the city, and drove Cao Cao and others out for more than ten miles, and even reached the river.
Seeing that the front had reached the river, but there was no ferry, Cao Cao looked back at the approaching cavalry, and was quite anxious: "Go to the sky!" Could it be that I, Cao Cao, am going to die here today? ”
Le Jin said: "Don't worry, lord! This river is shallow, wait for you to cross the river! ”
"Wen Qian, if you are born, you should remember your first merit!" Cao Cao was overjoyed, so he fell on Lejin's back.
Lejin abandoned the horse, carried Cao Cao, and waded into the river.
The river soon overflowed to his shoulders, and Le Jin held his head high and held his breath, carrying Cao Cao straight to the center of the river.
Lu Bu led his troops and horses to arrive, and when he saw that Cao Cao had reached the center of the river, he wanted to pick up his bow and shoot him.
Suddenly, countless soldiers and horses galloped on both sides, and the first few generals were Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Li Dian, Man Chong, Mao Jie, and Lu Qian.
hurriedly gave up his bow and arrows, and Lu Bu waved his halberd to fight everyone.
Lu Bu monopolized Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Li Dian, and Man Favor, and Gao Shun fought Mao Jie, Lu Qian, and fought alone, and there was no winner or loser!
After a short time, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Cao Xing, and Hao Yin led their troops to chase after them.
Cao Xuan drew a bow and an arrow, and injured Xu Chu with an arrow.
Dian Wei and others hurriedly rescued Xu Chu, and when they saw the enemy generals coming, they led the soldiers and horses to retreat.
When Lu Bu saw that Cao Cao had run away, he wanted to chase after him.
Wei Xu dissuaded: "My lord, the military advisor has an explanation: the soldiers and horses fought in the middle of the night, the people were tired and the horses were tired, and the terrain was not familiar, I am afraid that it was Cao Cao's plan." Please also ask the lord to lead the troops back to the city, take a temporary rest, and fight again in the coming day! ”
"On the battlefield, the situation of the war is changing rapidly, how can they literati predict it? Now Cao Cao is defeated, the soldiers and horses are scattered, such a great opportunity, if you don't raise troops to chase him, wouldn't it be a tiger to return to the mountain? Once such an opportunity is lost, it may be rare! Lu Bu said.
The generals saw that Lu Bu insisted on this, and also knew that his temperament was tyrannical, so no one dared to speak, so they had to lead troops to pursue him.
Besides, although Cao Cao lost a lot of soldiers and horses, he had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses left behind. Cheng Yu, who was staying in the camp, had already received the battle report and hurriedly brought soldiers and horses to respond.
Seeing Cheng Yu, Cao Cao was overjoyed, so he asked Le Jin to go down to heal his injuries.
Cheng Yu asked, "Lord, can the enemy retreat?" ”
"I don't know yet!" Cao Cao said, "I was blocked by the river, but fortunately Wen Qian saved me with my life." Na Lu Bu led his troops to chase me to the river, and wanted to shoot me with a bow and arrow, but fortunately Dian Wei and Xu Chu were rescued by generals. After Wen Qian Fu crossed the river, I fled here in a hurry. ”
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, mixed with the neighing of war horses.
Cao Cao looked back, and it was Dian Wei, Li Dian and others.
"Lord, go away! Then Lu Bu led his troops and horses to chase after him! Li Dian saw Cao Cao stop on the side of the road and hurriedly shouted.
"Huh!?" As soon as he heard that Lu Bu was chasing, Cao Cao wanted to run away in a hurry. It seems that he was broken by Lu Bu.
Cheng Yu stopped on the side and said with a smile: "Don't panic, lord! A reckless man, what to fear?! Wait for me to seek it out for the Lord! After finishing speaking, he fell into Cao Cao's ear and whispered.
I saw Cao Cao nodding his head while listening.
In a moment, Cao Cao began to issue orders.
The generals each received his orders and went down to settle his men and horses; Only Xu Chu, who injured his arm, had no task.
Watching everyone leave, Xu Chu asked, "Lord, ...... so-and-so?" ”
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Cao Cao said with a smile: "Zhongkang, you have an arm injury, you should cultivate in the back camp!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Xu Chu said: "My lord, why worry about a small injury? Please also fulfill the lord! ”
Seeing his insistence, Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu and said with a smile: "There is still a task, I don't know if you are willing to do it?" ”
"But by the command of the Lord!"
"Today, Lu Bu's soldiers and horses are exhausted, and there are only more than 3,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Chen Gong, Xue Lan, and Li Feng in Yanzhou City. How about you pretend to be Lu Bu's subordinate and earn this city for me?! Cao Cao said with a smile.
Seeing that such credit fell on him, Xu Chu was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the lord will not disgrace his mission!" ”
Cao Cao laughed, so Xu Chu ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses, copied the trail, and went to Yanzhou City.
When he came to the city, Xu Chu made someone pretend to be Gao Shun, a general under Lu Bu.
Some people are going to ask, why did Xu Chu pretend to be Gao Shun? There is a reason for this.
First of all, Gao Shun's height and body shape are not far from Xu Chu. In this way, Xu Chu is still deceived below. The second is that Gao Shun is very low-key and rarely communicates with people (except for the personal guard force of less than 1,000 people under his command). So this Gao Shun was shot like this.
It is also said that Lu Bu lost this Yanzhou.
At this time, the guard of the city was Xue Lan. Isn't this Xue Lan a good thing?!
He and Li Feng were originally generals under Zhang Miao. They have always had prejudices against Lu Bu, and they are also dissatisfied with Zhang Miao and Chen Gong.
Lu Bu has always been arrogant and rude, which makes the generals under his command complain, not to mention, what about Xue Lan, Li Feng and other foreign generals?
Xu Chu led his troops and horses to the city.
Xue Lan looked down with the help of the firelight, and saw that there were about four or five thousand soldiers and horses under his command, and the clothes on them looked like his own family, so he asked, "Who is in the city?" ”
Xu Chu made the soldiers reply: "General Xue, we are General Gao's subordinates. The lord is afraid that there will be insufficient soldiers and horses in the city, so he sent us back to help the general defend the city! ”
Xue Lan is also very uninterested in Gao Shun. He thinks Gao Shun is too cold and too draggy! To put it bluntly, I'm a little jealous of others! However, he knew that Gao Shun didn't say much, and seeing that the size was not much, he opened the city gate and let them in.
But at this time, Chen Gong got the news and hurried towards this side.
However, it was too late, the city gate was opened, and Xu Chu led troops to kill the generals.
Seeing that the big thing was not good, Chen Gong had no choice but to return, ordered a thousand soldiers and horses under his command, escorted Lu Bu's family, and rushed out of the city.
Knowing that the person who entered the city was Cao Jun, Xue Lan was also a bachelor, threw his weapon, walked down the city wall, and stopped Xu Chu: "General, a certain is Xue Lan, knowing that Cao Gongying is famous, I wanted to go there." I don't want to hit by mistake today, and I hope the general recommends it! ”
Seeing that he was defenseless, Xu Chu smiled and said, "The public came alone, which shows the sincerity." If thou wilt make the soldiers of the city come to vote, the lord will surely reward thee heavily. ”
Xue Lan smiled: "A certain has its own way!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud shout not far away: "Xue Lan, you actually carried me!" ”
