Chapter 18: Xiao Cao is very hurt
In the first battle of the White Horse, Guan Yu slashed Yan Liang, and Yuan's army lost command and was defeated.
Cao Cao admired Guan Yu's martial courage very much, and he showed his merit and won over, so he played the imperial court and named Guan Yu as the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion.
However, Yuan Shao once again marched quickly. This made Cao Cao's ass not sit firmly, so he sent troops to the white horse again.
As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first. However, this is the case that the front line can withstand. And in the case of being unable to resist, all the grain and grass are behind, so as not to be snatched away by the enemy's assault troops.
However, when Cao Cao learned that the leader of the Yuan army was Wen Chou, he began to preach, and he ordered the grain and grass of the rear army to go first, and the army to follow behind.
Engaged in Lu Qian, he didn't understand, and kindly reminded Cao Cao and asked him what he meant.
Cao Cao said, "The grain and grass are in the back, and they are mostly plundered, so they are placed in the front." ”
Lu Qian was a little dizzy, and said bluntly: "If you put it in front, you will be robbed by the enemy." ”
Cao Cao said again, "Let's talk about it then." ”
Lu Qian and the generals were all dizzy, and said in their hearts: "Then will we talk about it?" Then it's too late! ”
In the afternoon, the sun shines on the land of Henan, on the field, hundreds of grain and grass carts are scattered, because it is noon, the sun is too strong, and the soldiers are to rest.
"Kill!"
"Grab the food!"
Suddenly, a large number of Yuan soldiers appeared on the field, brandishing weapons one by one, shouting and shouting to rob and kill. Seeing that the enemy's food and grass were only logistics miscellaneous soldiers, the soldiers of the Yuan army were excited one by one and came to cover up the killing.
The soldiers of the Cao army suddenly panicked, seeing that the mountains were full of Yuan troops, they panicked one by one, and in order to save their lives, they threw away their armor and ran away.
It is said that Cao Cao was in the rear army, and he was resting under a big tree, when he heard the shouts in front of him, his joy flashed, and he hurriedly got up and said: "Quick, go and see, what's the situation!" ”
The soldiers did not dare to rest, and they became vigilant one by one.
Shaoqing, "Report ......, Hebei General Wen Chou's soldiers arrived, our army's baggage team was defeated, abandoned the grain and grass and fled! ”
The generals were anxious, and their hearts said, "Look, it's been robbed in front, and it's time to talk about it, but now it's time, right?"
Xu Huang said: "Lord, the distance is far away, and I can't rescue in time, what should I do now?" ”
Cao Cao saw that the generals were in a hurry, and he was secretly happy, but he anxiously pointed to the White Horse Mountain on the side, and said to everyone: "Quick, let's go to the mountains for a while." ”
Who dared not listen to the lord's words, so in an uproar, more than 10,000 Cao troops all rushed to the White Horse Mountain, under the big sun, sweating and sticking out their tongues, like tired dead dogs.
Cao Cao saw that the sergeant was weak, so he said: "You can undress and take off your armor to rest, let the horses out, and herd the horses." ”
The generals were dumbfounded, and said in their hearts that the lord must be dizzy today, this enemy is in front of him, and he has to take off his armor and release the horse, isn't this looking for death!
Xu Huang knelt out and said bitterly: "Lord, no, if it is a thief, how can we meet the enemy!" ”
Cao Cao said impatiently: "Let's talk about it then!" ”
Xu Huang, Xiahoudun and others begged bitterly, Guan Yu watched coldly, and Cao Cao was indifferent.
And Xun You, the military advisor who accompanied the army, couldn't help it, and said: "This is the lord's plan to lure the enemy." ”
Cao Cao looked at Xun You and smiled.
Xu Huang and the others were stunned, he was also a leading general, and he understood it after a little pondering. It turned out to be a trick to lure the enemy, and they were very embarrassed, and bowed: "The lord's clever plan, we will obey it." ”
So, Cao Jun released his horse and rested in the mountains.
Although Cao Cao won at the White Horse as in history, it was a strategy used in the lofty celebration banquet. Now that I think about it, I can't help but say to Xun You: "Gao Mengyan is a genius, but it's a pity that he can't be used by me, it's a pity." ”
Xun You saw through Gao Yuan's intention to be self-reliant, and said with relief: "Lord, if the situation is decided today. If it was a few years ago, maybe Gao Mengyan could still succeed, but if he is so big today, there is no place for him to stand. ”
Cao Cao nodded slightly.
It is said that the people who have been in the civil war for a long time, after repelling the invasion of nomads in the second year of Xingping, have forgotten some of the occupied Han territories, as well as the Han people on the land. Even later, Cao Cao learned that Cai Zhaoji was looted by the Huns when they invaded the Central Plains, and in order to repay the teacher's kindness, he hurriedly sent someone to redeem it with a heavy sum.
After estimating a quarter of an hour, the shouting was shocking, and Cao Cao and others saw in the mountains, and a large area of Yuan army came overwhelmingly in the distance. There were a lot of people, but there was no formation at all, and it was scattered.
Wen Chou, the general of the Yuan army, personally led the army here, and when he raised his eyes, he was happy in his heart, and it was really as Meng Yanxian said. He shouted, "Ama! Great, it's all for General Ben to rob! ”
As a result, Yuan Jun coaxed and counted countless heads, and there were horse grabbers everywhere.
In the mountains, on the side of Cao Jun.
Xu Huang saw that Yuan Jun was really confused, and sighed: "The prime minister is clever! ”
Xiahoudun couldn't wait and shouted: "Lord, looking at the chaotic situation of the enemy army, it's almost time, right?" ”
Cao Cao got on the horse, his momentum was extraordinary, and he pulled out his sword against the sky, "The enemy army is chaotic, and the enemy is broken at this time." Wen Chou is a famous general in Hebei, who can capture him? ”
The enemy is in disarray, and the side is ready for battle, and this battle is bound to be a complete victory. Who will let go of this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, Xiahoudun and Xu Huang came out together and took the lead in leading the army to rush out.
On the other hand, under Yuan Jun's fluttering handsome banner of the word "Wen", Wen Chou looked at Cao Jun from afar, and his face changed greatly, "It's a big deal!" Hit the trick! ”
Cao's army occupies a favorable position, and when it rushes down the mountain, it is like a torrent of steel, and no one can stop it.
Just one contact, Yuan's army began to break up.
"Formation, formation!" Wen Chou shouted, but he couldn't contain the rout.
"Run for your life!"
"Help me!"
Because the Yuan army snatched Cao Jun's horse at the beginning, as soon as the Cao army showed up here, although the Yuan army was defeated, Mali's horses all ran away.
Seeing that the horses were gone and the people were gone, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and then became furious, brandished the Yitian Sword, and shouted: "The whole army is pursuing, pursuing!" My horse, I'm damn it! ”
Xun You saw that Yuan Jun had two or three people on a horse, and the Yuan army infantry who didn't grab the horse in the distance ran away earlier, he was very puzzled, this escape was too organized, right? However, before he could think about it, Cao Jun chased after Yuan Jun.
Cao Jun chased Yuan Jun all the way, stepping on countless dust, and seeing that he was about to reach the river, he said in his heart Now look where you want to run.
However, Xun You looked at the dense forest in the west, his heart sank, and he secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly rode his horse to catch up with Cao Cao, and shouted: "Prime Minister, be careful of an ambush!" ”
"Ambush!" Cao Cao, who was galloping on his horse, was stunned, "I booby-trapped Wen Chou, Wen Chou ambushed me?" Unless Wen Chou saw through my plan from the beginning, he has the ability? ”
Suddenly, there was a rumbling burst of cannons, and I saw thousands of cavalry rushing out of the dense forest, led by a general, a red rabbit horse, Fang Tian painted a halberd, and the word "high" behind him waved the flag. Behind the cavalry, a large number of infantry rushed out.
"Gao Yuan, it turned out to be Gao Mengyan!" Cao Cao's face changed greatly, and he instantly knew that it was not Wen Chou who saw through his plan, but Gao Mengyan who saw through his plan, and a sense of frustration surged into Cao Cao's heart, and his heart was very hurt. xh118
