After Cao Cao pondered, he quickly made a decision. He was sitting on his lap and said to the full tent Wenwu: "You are ready, enter the city tomorrow on the third watch, and send Sima Fang to see me." ”

Wenwu looked at each other, Guo Jiajin said: "Lord, what Mr. Cheng Yu said is very true, beware of fraud!" ”

Cao Cao laughed and said, "The Sima family Hanoi Wang clan came to join me, if I don't use it, who else will vote in the future?" Because you are afraid of the scheme, you will not accept the surrender of everyone in the future? This is because of choking and wasting food, how can it be a big thing, not to mention, Sima Lang is still in the court. ”

Guo Jia and others also felt that what Cao Cao said made sense. In their opinion, Cao Cao will definitely seize the world in the future. In the process, there must be many people who will surrender. If you don't accept it, you will lose too many troops because of it, and there will be too many obstacles to seize the world.

Guo Jia and the others also admired Cao Cao's mind very much, and he was a master who could achieve great things, so they didn't say much.

Cao Cao summoned Sima Fang to enter the account, discussed the details of entering the city, and took the three layers of nine torches as the number, and quietly entered the city.

Late at night, Hanoi County, Gao Yuan Mansion.

"General Gao, Cao ...... Cao Mengde has been tricked, and tomorrow will ...... Tomorrow's three watches. Sima Fang was haggard and trembling, and finally sat on the ground.

Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and a sense of prostration after not being able to predict the future, but really winning, came to his heart. He was also unable to stand up, and waved his hand: "Quickly help Mr. Sima up." ”

Zhao Yun immediately walked over, pulled up Sima Fang, and said with a smile: "Old man, you have made great contributions to the Lord's government." ”

Sima Fang's heart is like soup, and his heart says bullshit, I personally pushed my Sima family into the fire pit, and in the future, who would dare to use our Sima family's people. He complained to the second boy Sima Yi again, "Zhongda, Zhongda, you can be regarded as mistaken Gao Mengyan, he is more ruthless than Cao Cao." If you don't assist him, he will send our Sima family into the fire pit. ”

So Gao Yuan ordered overnight, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao to get ready.

Gao Yuan said: "Cao Cao has always been suspicious, and there are countless plotters under his command, this time the plan is because Cao Cao is determined to override public opinion, but he will definitely be prepared when he enters the city." I calculate, Cao Cao will never be the first to enter the city. So you still need to be prepared to lose first. When Cao Cao also entered the city, he sent ambushes again. The two of you led the troops to lie in ambush in the alleys on both sides of the street, and listened to my three trumpets before they came out. ”

The two of them saw that the master's plan was successful, and they were full of admiration. I listened to his careful arrangement, and I was even more respectful.

When Gao Yuan waved them down to prepare, Zhang Liao said, "Lord, Xu Gongming is still in prison. ”

"Xu Gongming?" Gao Yuan then remembered to catch a general, and hurriedly asked, "Is he willing to surrender?" ”

Zhang Liao was ashamed, "The last general has already persuaded him, but Xu Gongming did not agree." ”

In Gao Yuan's opinion, it is strange that Xu Gongming agreed. However, people are human beings after all, and there will always be changes in thinking. So Gao Yuan said: "Strictly guard to prevent escape, after defeating Cao Cao, I will personally go and invite." ”

Although Zhang Liao still thought that Xu Huang would not surrender, Gao Yuan personally went to invite him, and he felt hope in his heart.

When Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were about to leave, Gao Yuan suddenly said: "If the ambush is successful, it is best to capture some prisoners." ”

Gao Yuan has already obtained the annexation of the state, as well as the three counties of Hanoi, Hedong, and Pingyang, which are also considered to be the princes who occupy one and a half states. However, there are too few military officers under his command, and there is a lack of manpower to take care of the territory. He came from a later life, so he naturally knew that he came a little late, and now he is a third-rate general, and he already has a master. There are only a few people left who have not been released, and they are all over the world. There is not a single opposition in the prefecture under his rule, and there is only one Sima Yi in the three counties of Sili.

The two suddenly realized, Zhao Yun hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, the lord, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely be captured alive." ”

Gao Yuan said again: "You must be sure to make a move, and you must not hurt yourself." ”

His words of concern made Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun's hearts warm, and they secretly made up their minds to grasp a few talents for the lord.

Zhang Liao went to Xu Huang overnight, and persuaded again, but it had no effect. Xu Huang finally said: "Hugh has to mention it again, I will never surrender to Gao Mengyan." If Wen Yuan says it again, I will break off my friendship with you. ”

In the coming day, Cao's army still built a fortress, and Cao Cao secretly began to prepare for the night's entry into the city.

Night, three watches. Cao Cao led the army, taking advantage of the night, people wrapped their horses and hooves, and quietly approached the county seat of Hanoi, and sure enough, he saw the signal of nine torches on the third floor of the city.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and whispered: "Quick, release the signal." ”

Guo Jia, the military advisor accompanying the army, felt inappropriate, and said: "Lord, Gao Mengyan is cunning, and he must not be guarded against. If the city gate is opened, it can be divided into three echelons to enter the city,

So Cao Cao divided the 30,000 army into three echelons according to Guo Jia's suggestion, and then raised the fire.

Looking from the top of the city, I saw that in the dark night, there was a sudden arrangement of nine torches in three layers. Seeing this, the garrison officer immediately rushed into the city gate building and shouted: "General, Cao Cao has been tricked!" ”

Zhao Yun was overjoyed, "Do what you want!" After speaking, he said to the old man beside him: "Mr. Sima Fang, it's up to you!" With that, he got up and went down to the city with his gun.

The elderly Sima Fang didn't expect that he was about to go into the ground, and he would have to go through such a thing, so he walked out of the city gate building tremblingly.

Outside the city, Cao Cao and his civil and military forces looked anxiously at the head of the city, that is, after a few breaths, they saw that under the light of the torches at the head of the city, the guards fell and disappeared one after another.

Cao Cao's face was overjoyed, "The Sima family has made a move and ordered the whole army to advance." ”

As the army approached the gates, they heard a creaking and the gates opened. And at the head of the city, an old voice shouted: "Sikong has not entered the city yet, but when!" ”

Cao Cao raised his head and saw Sima Fang appear on the head of the city, his old face was full of excited red light, obviously very excited.

Cao Cao was also very excited, pulled out the Qinghong sword, and shouted, "The first team enters the city." ”

The first echelon of Xiahou Yuan and Yu Ban, 10,000 people entered the city. The sound of clattering footsteps shocked the heavens and the earth.

After Sima Fang saw it, he shook his head secretly, and said in his heart Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, you are such a famous minister and good general, and you yourself, a capable minister in the troubled times, you are not as good as Gao Mengyan alone. People have calculated that you will not rush in, and you will definitely lose. Sima Fang suddenly realized, "Gao Mengyan is so young, it seems that he is younger than my family Zhongda, and he has such ability." Now that Gao Meng is in short supply, he may be able to persuade his son to ....... ”

It is said that Xiahou Yuan and Yu Ban entered the city, and when the two took the lead, when they rushed out of the city gate, they saw a team of garrisons rushing on the opposite street, and the garrison led by them did not know each other.

Xiahou Yuan sneered: "Gao Mengyan has no one under him, and he is defenseless. It is estimated that Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun are still sleeping. ”

Yu Ban didn't say a word, and waved his army to hedge over.

As soon as Gao Yuanjun and Cao's army came into contact, they were defeated, "Run for your life, the enemy has entered the city!" "Gao Yuan's army scattered and fled according to the plan.

This is a very normal time in the eyes of the forbidden two. Xiahou Yuan shouted: "Hugh wants to chase the enemy indiscriminately, go straight to the mansion, and go to arrest Gao Mengyan!" ”

Yu Ban called the herald and said, "Go and tell the lord that the Gao Yuan army is defenseless, and we have defeated the defenders at the south gate." ”

A moment later.

"Report ......." The herald galloped to Cao Cao's horse, rolled the saddle and dismounted, and then pointed to the already burning county town of Hanoi, and shouted: "My lord, the two generals have defeated the defenders of the south gate and are killing the palace." ”

There was no ambush launched, the defenders were defeated, this is the ironclad evidence of defenselessness, Cao Cao was overjoyed, jumped on his horse and raised his whip, and shouted: "Eliminate Gao Mengyan tonight, everyone will move forward bravely with me and capture Gao Mengyan alive!" ”

"Capture Gao Mengyan alive!"

Cao Cao took the lead, and he led the second echelon of 10,000 soldiers and horses to shout and pour into the county town of Hanoi
