Chapter 294: Hand to hand
Guo Huan sat in the arms of Deputy Director Tao, and according to Deputy Director Tao's dictation, she meticulously wrote official documents for Deputy Director Tao, with upright and powerful handwriting, neat and neat, and it was impossible to see that it was from a woman's hand. Deputy Director Tao dictated the general content of the official document, while stretching his claws into Guo Huan's clothes, gently and unscrupulously wandering and caressing, Qin Xiao and Se, Deputy Director Tao was rare that he was not in a hurry to tear off the clothes of the beautiful woman in his arms, and then do some heinous animal atrocities.
This is not that Deputy Director Tao is tired of Guo Huan's little girl, nor is it that Deputy Director Tao is afraid that Mrs. Zhengfang will be angry and dare not attack Yuan Fang's favorite maid, mainly because Deputy Director Tao and Guo Huan don't seem to have hooked up with each other. Therefore, in order to live a happy life for the rest of his life, even if he had the opportunity to be alone with Guo Huan in broad daylight, Deputy Director Tao would not dare to mess around with anything. - Legend has it that Song Gaozong Zhao Gou was played badly, and Deputy Director Tao didn't want to repeat such a mistake.
But it's enough, there is something to do as a secretary, nothing to do as a secretary, it has always been the life goal pursued by excellent public servants, Deputy Director Tao can do the first half, and he is quite satisfied for the time being.
"My lord, General Hou Cheng's messenger asks to see you."
Sure enough, when Guo Huan gradually reacted under the caress of Deputy Director Tao, he was forced to put down the brush and close his eyes and moan softly, and the sound of the soldiers sounded outside the tent. Hearing this report, Deputy Director Tao helplessly pulled the devil's claws back from Guo Huan's skirt, Guo Huan was also disappointed and relieved, pursed his lips and smiled, first took the initiative to offer a fragrant kiss, and then got up and went into the back tent to take refuge temporarily.
More than 6,000 Xuzhou troops led by Hou Cheng are stationed in Rencheng and Lu State, two newly occupied small counties, although the distance from Changyi is relatively close, but because the troops are too small and must shoulder the responsibility of ensuring the nearest road traffic between Xuzhou and Qingzhou, Deputy Director Tao did not mobilize Hou Cheng's team to participate in the war this time, but let Hou Cheng in addition to protecting road traffic, by the way to take on the task of reconnoitring the movement of the hinterland of Yanzhou, Hou Cheng sent an envoy to see this time, but also to report to Deputy Director Tao that Xuzhou Sun Guan's team of about 8,000 troops, has attacked to the Snake Hill City in Jibei Kingdom, At present, the Cao army in Dongping County, including the local township soldiers, has less than 6,000 defenders, revealing a huge vacancy, so Hou Cheng asked for an order to divide an army into Dongping County and respond to Sun Guan's attack on Dongping?
After hesitating for a moment, for the sake of prudence, Deputy Director Tao still refused Hou Cheng's request to directly attack the hinterland of Dongping, and only allowed Hou Cheng to send about 2,000 troops from Lu to directly go north from Lu State to assist Sun Guan in attacking Sheqiu and Gangxian, forming a local and prudent tactic of fighting more and less, so as to avoid the danger of a lone army going deep into the enemy's territory. After the messenger sent by Hou Cheng took the order, Deputy Director Tao did not bother Guo Huan's little girl again, but stood next to the sand table on the map, thinking about how to lure Xiahou Yuan's team out of the decisive battle in Changyi City, and how to inflict as much damage to Xiahou Yuan's team as possible in the field battle.
The main force of Xuzhou arrived on the battlefield of Changyi on the fifth day of the sixth lunar month three days ago, in order to lure the enemy and leave room for annihilating the enemy, Deputy Director Tao did not let the main force approach the camp under the city of Changyi, and chose to set up camp on the shore of Surabaya almost 30 miles southeast of Changyi, and then led a team of elite cavalry to the next trip to Changyi City in person, to observe the defense situation of Changyi City and take the opportunity to test the enemy's battle in Changyi.
At the same time, although the Changyi army also found that Deputy Director Tao came to the city of Changyi in person, they did not open the city gate to go out of the city to fight, which proved that the Changyi defenders were cautious in tactics and refused to fight easily, and it was definitely not so easy to lure Xiahou Yuan's main force to a decisive battle far outside the city.
But fortunately, the decision-makers of Xuzhou who are all over the ground do not like to hang on a tree, and luring Xiahou Yuan out of the city to annihilate is only the preferred plan of the Xuzhou army, in addition, the decision-making level of Xuzhou has also formulated two backup plans to deal with the failure of the lure of the enemy, one is to wait until the main force of the southern expedition in Xuzhou is recuperated, mobilize the main force of the southern expedition to Changyi to participate in the battle, and capture Changyi to break the enemy in a dignified manner; The second is that the main force of the southern expedition went directly from Rencheng north to Dongping, attacking the Cao army chariot team that was far inferior to Xiahou Yuan's strength and fame, and directly threatening the main force of the Cao army in Cangting, and the Xuzhou army, which arrived in Changyi in advance, took on the secondary task of containing Xiahou Yuan's team.
Then again, since luring Xiahou Yuan's team out of the decisive battle of Changyi is the preferred plan, and it is naturally the plan that is most in line with the interests of the Xuzhou army, when there is still a certain amount of time, Deputy Director Tao of course also gives priority to the implementation of the plan to lure the enemy, so after returning from the investigation of the enemy, Deputy Director Tao did not act too anxiously, but just ordered the army to stabilize the camp, first stand on the defense, and then consider how to lure the enemy, and at the same time continue to create the perfunctory illusion of Yuan Shao suggested by Jia Lao's poison. During this period, in addition to closely monitoring the movements of the Xuzhou army, the Changyi defenders did not go out of the city once, as if they had acquiesced to joining forces with the Xuzhou army again to perfunctory Yuan Sangong.
While he was calculating, a person suddenly poked into the tent and peeked at the situation in the tent, Deputy Director Tao saw that this person was actually his chief strategist Jia Lao Poison, and couldn't help laughing in surprise: "Mr. Wenhe, when did you learn to peek at others?" When do you need to report to the account before entering the account? ”
"Aren't you afraid of disturbing the good things of the lord?" Jia Lao Poison entered the account with a smile and said: "In the past, only male soldiers served in the lord's tent, and Xu could come and go freely, but now it is different, the lord has invited a female secretary to accompany him, and if he wants to enter the tent to meet the lord, he has to be careful." ”
"Mr. Wenhe is still careful, if my own soldiers have Mr.'s meticulousness, I don't need to bring Huan'er to the barracks to take care of food and daily life." Deputy Director Tao didn't blush and asked, "Mr. Wenhe shouldn't blame me for bringing my female dependents with me?" If the gentleman thinks it is inappropriate, even if he points it out, I have always heard it and I am happy. ”
"The lord misunderstood, and he didn't blame the lord for bringing his daughters." Jia Lao Poison shook his head and said with a smile: "In fact, compared to it, the lord is already much better in terms of women, and the other princes lead the troops to fight, which one is not full of wives and concubines, and our army's sworn enemy Cao Ying has not yet arrived in a place, so he must select local beautiful women to serve in the tent, and the lord only brings a maid, which is enough to be regarded as a model for the princes of the world." ”
Smiled and put on a high hat for Deputy Director Tao, Jia Lao Poison smiled and said: "But the lord, I have to take the liberty to accuse you, although your female secretary room is naturally smart, but after all, she is a young heart, and the lord always lets her stuffy in the tent, just afraid that she will get sick sooner or later - I heard that there is a mountain ten miles northwest of our army camp, called Jinshan, the scenery is quite good, the lord is idle today, why don't you take this female secretary room to Jinshan for a tour?" ”
"Thank you Mr. Wenhe for your advice, I will take Huan'er out to play." Deputy Director Tao replied casually: "But I don't have time today, first, there are still many official documents, and second, the official road here is tight, the surrounding forests are scarce, our army has cut down trees to build a village, so far the camp has not been completed, and I don't dare to take it ......lightly." ”
Deputy Director Tao's words were not finished before he could go on, because Jia Lao's poisonous face was already full of evil smiles, Deputy Director Tao patted his head and suddenly realized, and said with a busy smile: "What Mr. Wenhe said is very true, I just happened to be fine today, I should take Huan'er out for a good tour, Jinshan is not bad, it is auspicious to listen to the name, Jinshan Yinshan, it must be right to visit." Huan'er, Huan'er, did you hear that little girl? Dress me up right now, brother, I'm going to take you out to play. ”
So, under the instigation and bewitchment of the bad military advisor Jia Lao's poison, Deputy Director Tao, who has always regarded military affairs and government affairs as more important than women, finally chose to be willing to fall, and left the camp without a stable foothold. The sergeant sumo was played, and he drank happily until it was dark, and then he returned to the camp with Guo Huan, who was red from drinking, and took the opportunity to make a lot of oil on the drunk little girl.
As soon as he returned to the big tent, Deputy Director Tao, who was so drunk that his face was red and his neck was thick, his face was drunk, and as soon as he saw Jia Lao's poison, he immediately asked with a split face: "Mr. Wenhe, how is it?" Will Xiahou Yuan be tricked? ”
"Ninety percent sure!" Jia Lao Poison replied categorically: "Our military camp has not been completed, the foothold is not stable, and the lord is pretending to be negligent and underestimate the enemy, Xiahou Yuan wants to win by surprise, this is his best chance!" Unless Cao Ying has a strict order, Xiahou Yuan is not allowed to lead the main force to leave the city one step, otherwise Xiahou Yuan will definitely come to rob the camp tonight! ”
"Xiahou Yuan is not worried, the key is Xu Shu." Deputy Director Tao frowned and said: "I deliberately took Huan'er out to play, it shouldn't be difficult to fool Xiahou Yuan, but whether I can fool Xu Shu or not, I'm not sure." ”
"It doesn't matter." Jia Lao Poison shook his head and said, "I dare to conclude that Xu Shu only suspects that our army is using a plan to lure the enemy, but he will never hinder Xiahou Yuan from sending troops to attack our army." ”
"How so?"
"In the previous Xiaopei battle, Sima Lang had a secret report, saying that it was Xu Shu who instigated Cao Ying to go out of the camp and fight with our army, and the person who suggested that Cao Ying join the main force and go south again afterwards was also Xu Shu." Jia Lao Poison replied with a smile: "It can be seen that Xu Shu not only hates the lord who sacrificed his plan to force his mother to death, but also hates Cao Ying, who forced his mother to death with his own hands, and most hopes that our army and Cao Ying will lose both." Therefore, even if Xu Shu is suspicious this time, he will definitely not hinder Xiahou Yuan from sending troops to rob the camp, because whether Xiahou Yuan sends troops to rob the camp or not, it can achieve Xu Shu's goal of defeating both our army and Cao's army. ”
Deputy Director Tao will be suspicious, but seeing that Jia Lao Poison is confident, he will not ask anything more, but ask Jia Lao Poison for advice on how to break the enemy, Jia Lao Poison who has already planned to answer like a stream, and quickly said how to arrange the ambush, Deputy Director Tao followed the plan, immediately raised the account and counted the troops, and did not mention the arrangement.
……………… Now let's take a look at the situation on Xiahou Yuan's side, Deputy Director Tao took a beautiful woman to visit the mountains and rivers such a big movement, of course, it is impossible to hide from the eyes of Cao Jun's scout Xizuo, and when the scout Xizuo reported the situation to General Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan was also immediately furious, and scolded him: "Tao Yingpifu, dare to despise me so much, when the two armies are facing each other, they also dare to take their female dependents to travel in the mountains and rivers, it is simply too deceitful!" ”
After the anger was the great joy, after a little thought, Xiahou Yuan suddenly had a happy face, and hurriedly said to the generals present: "Princes, the pottery thief is far away, the camp has not yet been established, and he is so careless about the enemy, it is a God-given opportunity for our army to win by surprise, I intend to personally lead the army to rob the camp tonight, what do you think?" ”
Because the Xuzhou army did show that the enemy was careless and easy to bully this time, the generals of the Cao army applauded one after another, agreeing with Xiahou Yuan's decision to sneak attack. Only Cao Chun, who was cautious, had reservations and hesitated to object: "General, don't you have to take such a risk?" Robbing the camp at night is certainly a great victory, but if the enemy is deceitful, it is a sure defeat. ”
"So many deceptions?" Xiahou Yuan said impatiently: "The pottery thief came to Changyi this time, obviously to perfunctory Yuan Shaopifu, what kind of deceit did he come?" The prime minister has already given an order to allow our army to act at the opportunity and strive to break the thief, and now the opportunity has come, if you don't seize it, wouldn't it be disobeying the prime minister's decree? If you don't dare to go, then you will defend the city in Changyi City, and I will go by myself! ”
Cao Chun, who was only a deputy, knew that it was difficult for him to convince Xiahou Yuan, so he had to turn his gaze for help to Xu Shu, who joined the army, and asked, "Mr. Yuanzhi, what do you think?" Do you agree with General Xiahou sending troops to rob the camp? ”
"The stakes are serious, and General Miaocai needs to be asked to make his own decisions." Xu Shu replied respectfully, and added: "But I must remind General Miaocai and General Zihe that Yuan Shao could not hold out on the Cangting battlefield, and it was clear that he wanted to consume the main force of our army, and the reason why the prime minister agreed to our army to act at the opportunity was to hope that our army could create a miracle and break the deadlock." If you miss this opportunity, when the pottery thief establishes a stable wall, and the main force of the pottery thief's southern expedition in Pengcheng also comes north to Changyi, my army may no longer have such an opportunity. ”
"Mr. Yuanzhi's words are exactly what I want!" Xiahou Yuan nodded vigorously, and said on the spot: "I have made up my mind, tonight's second watch, Cao Chun and Mr. Yuanzhi stayed in Changyi, and I personally led an army of 10,000 to rob the pottery thief camp, and if I don't capture the Tao thief, the thief will come back, and I will not collect the army!" ”
Cao Chun once again persuaded Xiahou Yuan to act cautiously, but Xiahou Yuan resolutely refused to listen, and also said that no matter whether he succeeds or fails, all the consequences will be borne by himself, Cao Chun has no choice, so he has to repeatedly tell Xiahou Yuan to act cautiously, and in case of danger, he must not fall in love with the war, and must retreat immediately. Xiahou Yuan agreed with a big smile, quickly dispatched troops, and arranged for the soldiers to hurry up and prepare the necessary things to rob the camp, and when the second watch came, 10,000 Cao troops also went out of the city under the personal leadership of Xiahou Yuan.
In order to seize the time, Xiahou Yuan ordered the army to speed up the advance, and also took advantage of the familiar terrain to sneak outside the Xuzhou army camp in just over an hour. And the camp of the Xuzhou army because of the lack of common wood, just built a thin layer of simple fence, the antlers and horses have not had time to stand, Xiahou Yuan heard the report and was overjoyed, and saw from a distance that although the lights in front of the Xuzhou camp were bright, there were few guards, Xiahou Yuan was even more secretly happy, and the busy general Yang Chou led the elite soldiers to open the way and hit the gate of the Xuzhou camp.
Yang Chou's rush to the door was easier than Xiahou Yuan expected, seeing Yang Chou's team suddenly kill, the Xuzhou soldiers guarding the camp gate suddenly shouted and scattered, so that Yang Chou's team cut the door latch without much effort, opened the Xuzhou camp gate, Xiahou Yuan roared excitedly, and personally led the front army into the Xuzhou camp, and the rear army of the Chinese army followed closely, or rushed into the camp gate, or went to rush the camp fence, and scrambled to move forward.
"Knock knock!" Just when Xiahou Yuan's team fantasized about breaking the pottery thief in a big battle, countless war drums suddenly sounded in the Xuzhou camp, and the front and left and right wings of Xiahou Yuan's team were also suddenly full of fire, and the sound of killing was loud, and countless Xuzhou troops were killed from three sides, Xiahou Yuan was shocked, and when he hurriedly ordered the retreat, there was already a general with a spear rushing in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Donglai Tai Shici is here, Xiahou Yuan Pifu, where to go?!" ”
"It's okay, it's a nobody." Xiahou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly raised his sword to face the battle, but suddenly found that the nobody, Wu Yong, on the other side, was not under him, and was almost stabbed off the horse by Tai Shi Ci with a shot a little carelessly, Xiahou Yuan panicked in his heart, and did not dare to continue the love war, so he quickly sold a flaw and turned around and left.
Xiahou Yuan didn't find it difficult to escape from the camp until he found that he wanted to retreat with his whole body, not only did the left and right wings have Xuzhou ambush soldiers to kill, but also a Xuzhou army has blocked the road, surrounded Xiahou Yuan's team on all sides, Xiahou Yuan, who was mistakenly killed, had no choice but to yell and urge the whole army to charge and break through, but what made General Xiahou Yuan desperate was that it was Xuzhou General Chen Zhi who blocked the way back, and Xiahou Yuan's team could not break through the interception of Chen Zhi's team no matter how much he charged, and he was forced to be helpless. Xiahou Yuan had to break through to the weak place in the south with fewer torches, and the Xuzhou army took the opportunity to chase and fight fiercely, and the pursuit was extremely tight, Xiahou Yuan's army collapsed, and the soldiers rushed to flee for their lives, trampling on each other, and countless people died.
It was also collided with the southern team of Xuzhou, Xiahou Yuan found that he had fallen on the evil role of Deputy Director Tao again, and the seemingly sparsely lit southern Xuzhou army was hiding the notorious Xuzhou Junzi Army, Xiahou Yuan's team had not yet rushed close to be entertained by the stormy feather arrows of the Junzi Army, and specially greeted the head of the Xiahou Yuan team, Xiahou Yuan's soldiers were hit by arrows one after another, Xiahou Yuan moved forward again, and the Junzi Army fought and retreated, always maintaining a distance from Xiahou Yuan's brigade, Constantly beckoning the brigade around Xiahou Yuan with bows and arrows, forcing Cao Jun's soldiers to keep fleeing from the brigade, so that the Xuzhou army that came from behind calmly killed or captured, Xiahou Yuan also knew that he could not get rid of the entanglement of the Junzi Army, so he had to follow the route set by the Xuzhou army for himself, and constantly fled in the opposite direction away from Changyi, while the Xuzhou army was desperately blocking Xiahou Yuan's way back to the city, while calmly chasing and killing Xiahou Yuan's brigade with the cooperation of the Junzi army.
The news of Xiahou Yuan's plan to be ambushed was sent back to Changyi by the cavalry of the Cao army who escaped from the battlefield, and Cao Chun, who was waiting in the city of Changyi, suddenly complained of distress and was forced to leave Xu Shu and others to defend the city, and led 3,000 troops to rescue Xiahou Yuan in a hurry, and returned to the city with his own defeated army. After traveling more than ten miles out of the city, Cao Chun also encountered a group of about two or three hundred defeated soldiers, Cao Chun hurriedly reined in his horse's head and shouted to the group of defeated soldiers: "Who is under your command?" ”
Cao Jun rushed out of the defeated army, clasped his fists on the horse and replied: "General Yu, the villain is Ma Zhong, a general under the command of General Xiahou Yuan, the team was killed and scattered by the Xuzhou soldiers, and the villain hurriedly collected some defeated soldiers and was about to return to the city to report the news." ”
There are more than 100 generals in the more than 10,000 Cao army teams in Changyi City, and no matter how good Cao Chun's memory is, it is naturally impossible for everyone to remember it, so the unlucky General Cao Chun was not suspicious, but hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Do you know where General Xiahou Yuan is now?" ”
"In that location." Ma Zhong pointed to the distance with his left hand, and while trotting close to Cao Chun, he hurriedly said: "When the villain was separated from the brigade before, he saw that General Xiahou led the defeated army there, and the general should be able to catch up with ......." ”
When Cao Chun looked in the direction pointed by Ma Zhong, Ma Zhong had already trotted in front of him, poor General Cao Chun didn't even have time to react, only to feel a wind sound in his ears, and a wrist-thick iron chain had already arrived in the air, accurately drawing Cao Chun's neck, pumping Cao Chun's whirlwind for a while, the iron chain habitual surname has not disappeared, and suddenly wrapped around Cao Chun's neck, Ma Zhong struggled to regain it again, and immediately ripped Cao Chun off his horse, dragged it up and walked back, the Cao soldiers behind were all shocked, and hurriedly rushed up to save Cao Chun. The so-called defeated army of Cao army on the opposite side has already rushed up, and at the same time, another Xuzhou army rushed out from the darkness, roaring and excitedly rushing into the ranks of the Cao army to desperately watch the killing.
Poor General Xiahou Yuan's luck is not better than Cao Chun's to get there, because there is a gentleman's army always keeping an eye on Cao Jun's brigade, although there are many elite soldiers in General Xiahou Yuan's team, but there is never a chance to unite into a group to break through collectively, Xiahou Yuan with more than 2,000 people who are surrounded by a prominent encirclement is like encountering a snowball of Lieyue, becoming smaller and smaller in the run, and the soldiers gathered around General Xiahou Yuan are getting fewer and fewer, and in the end, there are only thirty or forty horsemen left.
Seeing that the situation was not good, in order to avoid the doom of being captured alive, Xiahou Yuan could only desperately escape into a forest, walking in the woods, and fleeing to Changyi in embarrassment, the Junzi Army really did not dare to enter the forest, just wandered outside the woods to kill the enemy, Xiahou Yuan took advantage of the opportunity that the Xuzhou Infantry Brigade had not yet chased, and escaped the pursuit of the Junzi Army by means of grass and trees and night cover, and escaped to a safe place, but the embarrassed escape, Xiahou Yuan has also been expelled by the Xuzhou army to the single father area far away from Changyi sixty miles away, Xiahou Yuan, who even lost his war horse, knew that it was difficult to return to the city, and the surname Suo also gritted his teeth and fled to the small county of single father.
That night, after breaking the main force of Xiahou Yuan, the Xuzhou army immediately moved to Changyi City, while surrounding Changyi City on three sides, while immediately preparing to attack the city, Xu Shu saw that the Xuzhou army was besieged on three sides, and learned that Cao Chun was captured Xiahou Yuan was missing, knowing that the lonely city with low morale was difficult to defend, in order not to be captured by the Xuzhou army to see the ugly face of Deputy Director Tao, he simply gritted his teeth and organized the defeated soldiers to abandon the city at night, and escaped from the north gate of Changyi without the Xuzhou army, and fled to Dongping overnight to join Cao Jiangche. Let the Xuzhou army take Changyi Jiancheng without much effort, and pull out the nail of the Cao army that was stuck in the throat of the Xuzhou army going north.
"There is such a big harvest in taking beautiful women to visit the mountains and rivers, it seems that I will learn from other princes in the future and bring more beautiful women to serve in the army." This is also the only emotion issued by Deputy Director Tao after he was stationed in Changyi City.
