Chapter 295: Attack

The messenger galloped all the way back to Cao Cāo's team and told Cao Cāo what had happened. Cao cāo listened, and finally let go of his heart, he thought that as long as Li Qin agreed, he would definitely do it, even if he knew that he was a fool, for the sake of these four words, Li Qin had to take the fool to the end

People in these years attach great importance to reputation, and many people regard reputation as more important than xìng life, Li Qin's reputation for righteousness is almost known to the world, Cao Cāo saw that he was so famous, so he took it for granted that Li Qin would definitely be burdened by reputation and would not come out to attack him, so after listening to the messenger's return, he and Gongsun Zhan pressed the army forward as much as possible, until it was ten miles below the Tiger Prison Pass

Yuan Shao and the princes in the back saw that Cao Cāo and Gongsun Zan could press the army so close, everyone couldn't believe it, I don't know what happened to Li Qin, could it be that he took the wrong medicine and went crazy, so that the coalition army pressed the army so close The princes didn't know why, and they talked about it, and asked Yuan Shao again, Yuan Shao didn't know why, of course he couldn't answer.

The more the army was pressed, the more nervous Cao Cāo and Gongsun Chan became, and when the army entered within ten miles, for the sake of safety, Cao Cāo and Gongsun Chan discussed, in order to ensure safety, the two of them had to go over one and squeeze Li Qin with words under the pass, not only so that he could not send troops, but even Li Qin's subordinates could not send troops.

During the march, Cao Cāo said to Gongsun Zhan: "General Gongsun, then Li Qinding knows that he has been fooled, but for the sake of his reputation, he may not send troops out, but I am afraid that he will imply that his subordinates will lead troops to battle privately." Do you think, if we set up camp at Guanxia, and Li Qin himself did not give the order, but hinted that some so-called somewhat reckless leader would go into battle and attack us, wouldn't that be the same as him sending troops? ”

Gongsun Zan nodded and said: "General Cao's worries are also my concerns, as long as Li Qin said afterwards that the person was not sent by him, it was the leader who made his own decisions and brought troops out privately, as long as he beat the leader with a few sticks, it would be over, and his reputation would not be damaged." This is a very likely thing, can General Cao have a way to deal with it? ”

Cao cāo said: "It can only be the two of us in the past, squeeze Li Qin with words, as long as you can tell the matter in front of the Fujiao generals, it can be regarded as breaking Li Qin's plan, the soldiers of the Fujiao Army are all over-eyed, even if some people want to be reckless, but we can expose it, then they will not lead the troops to fight, Li Qin can only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, even if it is bitter, he can only swallow it"

Gongsun Zhan frowned, and said: "This thing is very dangerous, but I will definitely not be able to go, I can only go General Cao, I will send someone to protect you, let my best dead man follow you, and block arrows for you"

Cao Cāo was silent for a long time, and said: "I don't think I need to, no matter how many people I bring over, when I get to the pass, as long as Li Qin wants to hurt me, then I have no possibility of leaving safely, so it is better for me to go alone, the fewer people who have passed, then Li Qin will not be able to do it, otherwise he will no longer be able to convince the public, and he will be laughed at by the heroes of the world."

Gongsun Zan said suddenly: "Then why do you go over, don't you just send someone to pretend to be you, anyway, Li Qin can't tell the truth from the fake." ”

Cao Cāo thought for a while and said, "That's right, then pick a person with a loud voice to pretend to be me, put on my armor, go shut down and shout, and let's watch from behind...... Ah, I don't know if General Gongsun can pick out the archer, if Li Qin appears at the gate and goes with one arrow, wouldn't it be for the heavens."

Gongsun Zan immediately nodded and said: "Why didn't I expect it, this plan is very clever, there are many archers in our army, ten are arranged at a time, as long as Li Qin appears, it will kill him."

Cao Cāo immediately agreed, he wanted Li Qin to pay attention to uprightness, but he himself didn't have the slightest idea of being upright, the so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, Li Qin was fooled, it was Li Qin's business, who made his head bad

The two discussed the specific matters again, decided what to do, and cautiously approached the Tiger Prison Pass with their soldiers. The terrain of the Tiger Prison Pass is dangerous, and there is not much open space under the pass, which is not suitable for cavalry combat, so as long as Cao Cāo and Gongsun Chan block the pass, then the brigade of the Fujiao Army will not be able to rush out.

When they reached the two miles below the pass, Cao Cāo ordered the infantry to come forward and form a phalanx of 1,000 men, with the generals standing densely between the two mountains below the pass, with the soldiers in the front row holding high their large shields, and behind the large shields were archers. Further back is the large army, the soldiers and generals are ready to camp, as long as the front is settled, then immediately set up camp, time is precious, not to be wasted.

A small colonel walked out of the crowd and walked to the place where the pass was a stone's throw away, he pulled his neck and shouted: "Li thief, is it okay, my General Cao has something to say to you face to face, can you dare to come out and answer?" ”

When the coalition arrived, Li Qin had already received the report, he was on the wall at this time, and suddenly heard Cao Cāo talking to himself, he said: "Cao Cāo has always been a person, how can he talk to me in this situation, it is estimated that he will come over, it should be a fake."

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "It's possible that it's true, but that Cao Cāo must have ambushed the archer, if you don't attack him, he will attack you."

Li Qin frowned and said, "Then what should I do, am I going out?" ”

Jia Xu said hesitantly: "Why go out, isn't it good to talk at the gate, he just wants to ruin your reputation, if you can't get out, he will be the same corrupt." ”

After a pause, he said again: "No matter what tricks Cao Cāo wants to use, everything will not deviate from his sect, looking at his appearance, he is going to camp here, so it is better for us to let them set up."

Li Qin hummed, and just wanted to shout below, but Jia Xu stopped him and didn't let Li Qin answer in person. He turned his head to Dian Wei and said a few words, and Dian Wei laughed a few times.

Standing in front of the battlement, Dian Wei shouted to the bottom: "Cao Apu is not worthy to talk to my lord, let him get out of the way." Also, if you want to set up camp, you will set up, let's talk about it, then rely on the soldiers to fight to solve the problem, don't use any tricks, we don't use it, you don't use it, just do it."

After finishing speaking, Dian Wei retreated, and the archers of the Fujiao Army stepped forward, and a rain of arrows went down, although he didn't reach the little colonel, but the little colonel didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and turned around and retreated back to the phalanx.

Gongsun Chan and Cao Cāo in the formation both heard Dian Wei's shout, Gongsun Chan said: "This Li Qin is so rude, he is too arrogant, he even refuses to tell us, who does he think he is, he really thinks he is a character" Li Qin refused to come, the archer he arranged was useless, and he came up with a good idea in vain.

Cao Cāo sighed lightly in his heart, he was despised by Li Qin, of course he was not happy, he said: "General Gongsun, bear with it for a while, sooner or later there will be a day to clean up Li Qin, and this day will come soon."

The two worked together, with Gongsun Chan remaining in the phalanx, keeping an eye on the movements of the Fujiao army in Guannai, while Cao Cāo stepped back to supervise the soldiers encampment.

The generals of the coalition army also understood that they were in danger now, and they had set up the camp earlier, and they were guarded by the camp, so they would be safer, so everyone worked hard and worked hard, and the camp was set up very quickly, and it took only one-third of the usual camp time to set up two large camps

At this time, it was too late, the coalition soldiers would enter the camp and start to bury the pot to make rice, Cao Cāo and Gongsun Zan were in the first camp, their mood was finally a little relaxed, and they also sent a letter to Yuan Shao and the princes behind, telling the people behind that they could also set up camp, and with them in front of them, the security problem was solved.

The smoke rises in the camp, the sun sets, and the scenery under the tiger prison is also a bit ornamental, especially when thousands of cooking smoke rises, it is so-so and peaceful, showing a quiet atmosphere.

Looking at the soldiers who were silent but busy, Cao Cāo looked at the pass again, and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong, after all, the current "peaceful atmosphere" was a strategy that he racked his brains to come up with, and successfully implemented it.

On the wall of the pass, Li Qin and Jia Xu, as well as a group of generals, have been standing behind the battlements, looking at the coalition forces below, they are also silent.

Seeing the smoke rising below, Jia Xu spoke, and he said: "In a quarter of an hour, they should eat, now is a good time to attack."

Li Qin nodded, turned around, and said to the general, "Is the oil ready?" ”。

Dian Wei said: "Two thousand cans of fire oil have been prepared, and all the stocks in the Tiger Prison Pass have been taken out."

Li Qin took a deep breath, swallowed it slowly, and said, "Let's start, you don't have to catch it alive, get the head of Cao Cāo, and also make great contributions, go down to do things" waved his hand.

The generals agreed in unison, turned around and ran down the city wall, each with their own soldiers and horses, and as soon as the gate of the Tiger Prison was opened, Dian Wei took the lead and rushed out

Cao Cāo and Gongsun Zhan were still sitting in the camp waiting for dinner, they never dreamed that Li Qin would send troops to attack, didn't he promise to come to the offensive and defensive battle in a dignified manner? Why did you suddenly send troops out?

The two jumped up at the same time, and Cao cāo shouted: "Archers prepare, all go up" After shouting, he said to Gongsun Zhan: "The big thing is not good, Li Qin is not trustworthy, he would rather not have a reputation, but also defeat us"

Gongsun Chan said angrily: "Since this is the case, then we will take advantage of the situation to kill it" He jumped on his horse, danced a spear in his hand, and killed the Fujiao army.

Gongsun Chan is a brave general, in Liaodong dare to meet ten times the enemy, but also can kill the enemy to a big defeat, in the face of the Fujiao army he is indeed cautious, but the husband has something to do, something not to do, since Li Qin is not trustworthy, send troops to attack, then simply hit hard, who is afraid of whom, Fujiao soldiers are not three heads and six arms, what is there to be afraid of, aren't they all people

Cao Cāo chased a few steps, and when he saw Gongsun Zhan leaving in the dust, he thought to himself: "Guarding is definitely not able to hold, but if you don't fight hard, you won't be able to fight in the future" Of course, he doesn't care about escaping, he doesn't know how many times he has escaped in history, but he can't run away without fighting, but he doesn't have to.

Cao Cāo said to his generals: "Pass my general's order, retreat three miles, and line up behind the second battalion"
