One hundred and fifty-two The Battle of Yaojin

"Prime Minister, Qiao Ren first gave up Liyang when he had the advantage, and then easily gave up the Jiming Mountain Walled City, I am afraid that he wanted to use the water army to sneak attack the rear of our army. The prime minister must be guarded against! "Jia Xu is worthy of being Jia Xu, and no conspiracy can escape his eyes.

However, Qiao Ren's favorite thing is to use yang schemes, so that you have to do it even if you know that it is a plan. The terrain of Liyang is important, Cao Cao could not send people to defend, and the more people sent to Hefei will be difficult to form an effective attack because of too few soldiers, so in this dilemma, Zang Ba's strategy of crossing the river will be so highly appreciated by Xiahoudun, but it is a pity that they underestimated the strength of the Eastern Wu naval army.

"Wenhe doesn't have to worry too much!" Cao Cao stood under the banner of the Chinese army, and said in a muffled voice: "As long as our army can take Hefei before Sun Ce arrives, the Eastern Wu naval army will not be able to help us." ”

Bang! Cao Cao's army is still setting up the camp, but the gate of Hefei is opened, Cao Cao of the Chinese army is vaguely visible, from the city of Hefei rushed out of two thousand cavalry, led by three people with feathers on their heads, one with white hair, and one extremely young. At this time, Cao's army was encamping, in addition to the three hundred tiger cavalry defending Cao Cao, the rest of the cavalry was also sent out to sweep the Wu army around Hefei, it can be said that Qiao Ren seized the most suitable opportunity for a surprise attack.

"Enemy Attack !!" A heart-rending cry came from the front, the two thousand Wu army cavalry were not dressed in the same clothes, they had the Jinfan army with a bell hanging from their waists, there were also the ghost-faced knights with ghost masks, and there were also the Xiliang cavalry recruited by Xu Kun in Liangzhou in the past. And the three leading people are Gan Ning, Huang Zhong and Dai Gang, the three generals of the three armies, who swept away the leaves in the autumn wind and killed Cao Cao's high slope on the horse. Perhaps it is the strong inertia of history, the place where the Cao army is stationed is Xiaoyaojin, there is no legend of Zhang Wenyuan's power to shock Xiaoyaojin, but there is the romance of the three generals of the Wu army breaking into the Cao camp.

"Defend the Prime Minister!" Wuwei General Xu Chu roared, and countless tiger guards wearing heavy armor flashed on both sides, forming a three-layer human shield in front of Cao Cao's horse.

On the other hand, Cao Cao was calmly looking at the raging Wu Jun not far away, and his tone did not fluctuate: "Don't worry. ”

"Ming Gong should avoid it for a while!" Jia Xu on the side also persuaded that he was a person who cherished his life, so he was naturally unwilling to put himself in danger.

"Haha!" Cao Cao stroked his beard and roared, "I haven't seen any strong winds and waves, and a few Wu soldiers are afraid of it." ”

Bang! Gan Ning's big knife was like a cold light, constantly killing countless Cao soldiers, and every time the knife was raised, there was always a head falling. And Huang Zhong on the side did not show weakness, only to see that he sometimes used a knife and sometimes a bow, no matter how far or near, no one could stop him. It's a pity that Dai Gang doesn't have such good martial arts, although his strength has risen to eighty-eight after the battle with Zhang Liao, and has reached the first-class level, but it is not enough compared with Gan Ning and Huang Zhong, and although his marksmanship is very suitable for group battles, it is not as domineering and rough as the big sword.

"Humph!" Gan Ning's activity caused dissatisfaction with a general of Cao Jun, touch!

The two big knives collided fiercely, and the huge force transmitted from the hilt, Gan Ning could feel that the martial arts of the person on the other side were definitely not under him. Thinking of this, Gan Ning suddenly looked up and saw Zhang Liao with a purple face, and his handsome face was full of murderous aura at the moment. Gan Ning had not met Zhang Liao, but judging from his armor and mount, the person in front of him must be the general of Cao Jun.

"Let's get the name together!" Gan Ning raised his knife and took a step back and asked.

Zhang Liao also raised a big knife, and replied loudly: "Yanmen Zhang Wenyuan!" ”

It turned out to be him, first fighting with Huang Zhong for more than 100 rounds, and then defeating the rising Dai Gang, this Zhang Liao's strength should not be underestimated. Gan Ning often fights with Huang Zhong, if it is said that Ma Zhan Gan Ning is still half a point worse than the elderly Huang Zhong, but this Zhang Liao can not distinguish between up and down, Gan Ning can't help but cheer up the spirit of twelve points. "A certain Bajun Ganning."

The dust is flying, and the long knife is going.

Whether it is Gan Ning or Zhang Liao, they have used very martial arts and deduced the knife technique to the extreme, even if it is a knife technique like Huang Zhong and Guan Yu, everyone can only say a good knife technique. And Cao Cao in the distance smiled inexplicably, "Hmph! Qiao Ren has Gan Ning, and Zhang Wenyuan is alone, so he is worried. ”

If Qiao Ren is here, he will feel that this sentence is so familiar, in the battle of Xiaoyaojin in later generations, Sun Quan once said, 'Meng De has Zhang Liao, Gu has Gan Xingba, and it is enough to resist it.'" And now, Cao Cao is comparing Zhang Liao with Gan Ning, which is enough to prove that Qiao Ren is not busy in vain, and the offensive and defensive situation of Huainan is already in the hands of the Wu army.

"Cao thief takes his life!" Just as Cao Cao sighed, a roar came, and a military general with white hair was a hundred steps in front of Cao Cao.

At this time, the Cao army had already made a mess, although it did not run around like the Wu army in later generations, but it was not much worse, the connection between the generals and soldiers at all levels had been completely disrupted, and Cao Cao only had three hundred tiger horsemen and one hundred guards around him, as well as the generals Xu Chu and Jia Xu of the military guards. On the other hand, although Huang Zhong was only one person, the archery skills he had just shown made Xu Chu have to be careful.

"The old puppet Hugh is going to be rampant, and Xu Chu is also here!"

"Humph!" Huang Zhong snorted coldly, clenching the big knife with both hands. Although he is really not young, he is the most taboo for others to say that he is old, but poor Xu Chu unknowingly violated his taboo.

Huang Zhong's knife is not fancy, but it is to the point, although his body is not as good as before after so many years, but after practicing the inner family health method with Yu Ji, Huang Zhong's eyesight is much better than before, and his martial arts attainments are also more profound, at this time, his knife technique is already natural, without the slightest flaw, no matter whether it is offensive or defensive, the opponent has no trace.

Although Xu Chu was born with divine power, Huang Zhong's knife could always bypass his big knife and attack him like a needle without leaving a single flaw. Xu Chu had all his strength but couldn't use it, so he could only defend passively, not to mention how aggrieved he was, but Huang Zhong's knife didn't leave any gaps, so Xu Chu had to follow his rhythm.

"Phew!" Xu Chu shouted, put aside Huang Zhong's big knife, and slashed from behind with both hands with a powerful heavy slash, but unfortunately Huang Zhong only lightly flirted, and the long knife pointed directly at Xu Chu's chest, if Xu Chu did not put away the knife to defend, Huang Zhong would stab him first.

It was a late striker, but the offensive that Xu Chu had finally launched was easily broken.

"Who's coming?" Dai Gang, the only one who charged with cavalry, was also stopped by a Cao general, although the Cao general in front of him was well-armoured, but he was not like a famous general of the Cao army in his thirties.

"Riding Captain Cao Zhen!"

It turned out to be Cao Cao's righteous son, and the two generals who became famous in the Three Kingdoms in the next twenty years met for the first time in their lives, and sparks flew everywhere.

Who is the first black person in the novel 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'? It's really not Zhou Yu who has a 'great change in personality', but Cao Zhen, the famous general of Cao Wei in front of him. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in order to emphasize the fierce confrontation between Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang, Cao Zhen's achievements in successfully repelling Zhuge Liang's two Northern Expeditions were transferred to Sima Yi. However, Cao Zhen also has a description in the romance when Zhuge Liang used discord to create the news of Sima Yi's rebellion, and took the initiative to cede the capital to Sima Yi when he was sick, he still showed considerable intelligence and strength, and in the evaluation of Shu general Wei Yan, he was also a "quite knowledgeable figure in the art of war".

And in the real history, the real Cao Zhen's military commander's talent should be said to be not under Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang, and Cao Zhen became the governor not because he was the Cao family, because he was not surnamed Cao! Mainly because of Sun Quan's exploits in the Southern Expedition, in order to highlight Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi in the romance, Cao Zhen was written as a fool when Zhuge Liang was in the Northern Expedition, in fact, the early war was mainly led by Cao Zhen. It was not until Cao Zhen died of illness that Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang's "lifelong enemy", succeeded Cao Zhen and dragged on with Zhuge Liang for four years. Cao Zhen and Zhuge Liang did not have the upper hand in the battle, and Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang killed Zhang He in their first confrontation. However, Sima Yi also knows the truth and can endure, and after knowing that he is not Zhuge Liang's opponent, he has been holding on until Zhuge Liang is dragged to death. Cao Zhen not only defeated Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition several times, but also expected that Zhuge Liang would attack Chencang when he went north, and sent the general Hao Zhao to garrison Chencang to successfully stop Zhuge Liang's plan for the Northern Expedition. And Cao Zhen conquered Hexi several times to open up the passage between the Western Regions and the Central Plains, and was famous outside the Saiwai, and personally conquered Shu in 240, when Cao Zhen led a large army to enter from the Meridian Road; In addition, the general Sima Yi was sent to march through the Han River, and Guo Huai, Fei Yao and other troops either entered from the valley or from Wuwei. Later, due to the hardships and dangers in Hanzhong, it would be the rainy season, and the plank road was washed and cut off by the rain, and Cao Zhen took a month to walk half the way, and finally was forced to withdraw the army.

In general, Cao Zhen is really a famous handsome man with wisdom, courage and virtue, no less than Zhou Yu and Lu Xun of Wu State.
