NO.615 The general trend is difficult to change, and I am physically and mentally exhausted
Under the city of Xiaopei, the beacon is full of fire.
In the past few days, Jingxiang's army and Cao's army have been constantly clashing, each with its own victories and defeats. Cao Cao was determined to stick to the city, but not as before to sit back and watch Jingxiang military horses attack the city, in the past few days, whenever you see Jingxiang ordnance outside the city to attack the city, there are always a huge number of military horses in the city to kill, although the five tigers are brave, but Cao Ying's generals come out together, and do not fight with Jingxiang, the two armies are fighting, and the role of the five tiger generals has also been reduced a lot by the Cao army.
Such a stalemate made Pang Tong more and more resentful, as we all know today, if Xiaopei City is broken, it will be difficult for Cao's army to organize an effective defense, and although the rest of the land is extensive, Cao Cao, who has lost the main force, can only be slaughtered.
"I never thought that Cao Jun's insistence would be so resolute before......" Zhuge Liang also frowned, looked sideways at the beacon smoke in front of the city outside the tent, and muttered in his mouth.
Several sieges of the city were fruitless, so that the army's originally high morale gradually declined, with the prestige of the five tiger generals is also difficult to shake the Cao Ying generals Qi out, although the five tigers repeatedly beheaded the generals to capture the flag, but the battle losses in the Jingxiang army are also not small, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao and others also rely on their force, also made the Jingxiang army suffer heavy losses, and the Cao army generals are numerous, at this time of crisis, it is obvious that the strength far exceeds the past.
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked at each other for a long time, and they were silent.
Although the two had expected this battle to be difficult, they never thought that under the heavy arrangements of Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others, Xiaopei City had been operated like a monolith, Zhuge Liang had also tried before, bypassing Xiaopei and attacking the rest of the cities in Xuzhou, which made the Cao army in the city panic, but whenever Jingxiang's military horses moved, a huge number of military horses would always pour out of Xiaopei City to attack the camp. Zhuge Liang threw a rat and did not dare to divide his troops.
Once the siege of the city is reduced, the Cao army will fight back, and the confrontation in front of the city will be broken, and the Cao army will also have the opportunity to win.
Such a situation is naturally what Zhuge Liang does not want to see.
Forced to consume with Cao Jun in this way, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were in a state of turmoil, and just when the two had nothing to do, there was a scout Pegasus to report, saying that the handwritten letter of the Tang King was delivered.
Pang Tong results letterhead. Spread it out and look at it. The worries on his face were swept away, Zhuge Liang was surprised when he saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward, after reading it. With a long sigh, he said, "If Gongjin does this." My army doesn't have to be consumed with Cao's army anymore! ”
Pang Tong nodded again and again when he heard this.
The two of them would never have thought of it before. Pang Shanmin actually ordered Zhou Yu to lead the Jiangdong military horses across the sea to Liaodong for a battle, and all the Hebei military horses were brought to Xuzhou by Cao Cao. The emptiness behind it is obvious.
Besides, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others were all "attracted" to Xiaopei, Hebei Zhudi, who else would be Zhou Lang's opponent?
"This day's great merit was obtained by Gong Jin, I knew that this was the case, why did Pang come here early?" Pang Tong said and smiled bitterly, Zhuge Liang also smiled when he heard this, and said to Pang Tong: "You and I are colleagues with Gongjin, why bother?" Now it is difficult to make achievements in the storm, it is better to besiege the city and wait for Gongjin to succeed! ”
"Gong Jin has been defeated and fought repeatedly in his life...... Forget it, now it's time to make him famous! ”
Pang Tong thought about it for a while, and he understood why Pang Shanmin arranged it like this, and if Zhou Yu was crisscrossing Hebei, no matter how much Xiao Pei Cao's army held on, it would be difficult to change the fate of the destruction of the foundation.
Thinking of this, Pang Tong sighed: "Now I can only hope that Gongjin's good news will be passed on early......
"You can also inform Cao Cao in the city of this news and see how he reacts!" Zhuge Liang heard the words but said: "If he knows the current affairs, he should make a decision, although for you and me, this battle is difficult, but Cao Cao in the city is the general trend has gone, if we can trap the Cao army here, Xiaopei is a lonely city, Cao Cao guards or not, what is the point?" ”
When Pang Tong heard this, he nodded slightly, and immediately repaired a book, ordering Huang Zhong to shoot at the head of the city.
After a few days of fierce fighting, today he received a letter from Jing Xiang, which surprised Cao Cao slightly.
Now that the war under the city has progressed to such a stage, Cao Cao does not think that Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang will let go of this great opportunity to annihilate the main force of Cao's army, but the strength of the two armies is equal, with Guo Jia and Jia Xu planning, in Cao Cao's view, the Xiaopei defenders are not inferior to the army led by the Jingxiang Five Tigers outside the city, and there is still a battle power.
However, after spreading out the letterhead and reading it, Cao Cao's face changed greatly, Guo Jia and Jia Xu saw Cao Cao crumbling, and they all stepped forward to support, after a long time, Cao Cao sighed, handed over the letterhead to the two, and muttered: "Zhou Lang crossed the sea and attacked Liaodong far away, so that Cao will have no place to return, even if this battle can be won, what capital does Cao have to compete with the Tang King?" ”
Guo Jia and Jia Xu heard the words and remained silent for a long time.
Pang Tong sent a letter to the city, although the letter said that there was a bluff, but in the eyes of the two, the possibility of the Jiangdong army and horse expedition to Hebei is still very great, after all, Zhou Yu has also had a cross-sea campaign before, and the experience of the expedition to Qingzhou is a lesson for others, and it may be difficult for the navy to cross the sea, but for Zhou Yu, who is familiar with water warfare, such a use of troops is in the process of being cleaned up.
"The ...... of non-war crimes"
Guo Jia slowly came back to his senses after a while, and sighed lightly: "This plan is done by the Pang Shanmin at the time, and it is imaginative, but it is ruthless to the extreme. ”
Jia Xu said with a face as earthy: "If what this Pang Tong said is true, we will have no chance to win, no chance to win......"
For several days in a row, Jingxiang military horses did not attack the city again, but besieged the city on all sides, and formed a village according to the danger, but the news of Zhou Lang's distant attack on Hebei spread in Xiaopei City, when it was close in recent years, many Cao soldiers were homesick, but after learning that their hometown was ravaged by Zhou Yu's Jiangdong military horses, the city was chaotic, and Cao Ying's soldiers rarely had the heart to fight.
Cao Cao was ill for several days, summoned Guo Jia to the mansion, Cao Cao stared at Guo Jia for a long time, and said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, Cao wants to surrender." ”
Guo Jia was not surprised when he heard Cao Cao's words, but with tears in his eyes, he knelt down in front of Cao Cao's couch and cried: "Guo is incompetent, dragging down the prime minister." ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "If there is no filial piety, how can Cao have such a foundation now?" Pang Shanmin's plan is ruthless, Cao has been silent for a few days, and it is difficult to find any way to crack it, Cao is not Xuande after all, but he can do it without roots, if Cao's soldiers are all hostage by Jing Xiang, what kind of face does Cao have, and then drive them? ”
Guo Jia was silent when he heard this, Cao Cao knew when he saw this, even if he was a ghost plot, Guo Jia did not have a plan to solve the current safety, Cao Cao was not surprised by such a result, and said with a miserable laugh: "In addition, Wen and the previous slaughter of Luoyang, Cao also wants to take the ...... on his behalf."
"Prime Minister......" Guo Jia heard this, his face was sad, and he was about to persuade again, but he saw Cao Cao laughing and said: "Loneliness has been decided, Rong Ma has been half his life, and Cao is really tired!" (To be continued......)
