Chapter 129: Same Bed, Different Dreams
Cao Cao looked at the sky, sighed, and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
Dian Wei failed to storm the city wall three times, his morale had declined, and it was useless to fight again. If Dian Wei dies from his injuries, then his loss will be great.
Looking at the Yuyuan Pass, which was soaked in blood and fire, Cao Cao was a little depressed. He and Liu Bei worked hard through Songgao Mountain, and then met Sun Jian, a total of more than 10,000 people rushed to the front of the pass, thinking that they could succeed in one blow, but they never thought that they would hit the iron plate headlong.
Yuyuan Pass was heavily guarded and prepared, and they were not given a chance to sneak attack at all.
The sneak attack failed, and the only way to attack was to attack. Cao Cao and the others didn't have too much to worry about, after all, they now had Guan Yu, Sun Jian and Dian Wei, three fierce generals who had successfully broken through the realm, and there were more than 10,000 people, and it was not difficult to break through the Yuyuan Pass, which was only guarded by 3,000 people. Sun Jian came from Yingchuan, the road was closer, he brought some light siege equipment, solved the problem that they could not carry siege equipment when they ran, and believed that they could break through the Yuyuan Pass lightly.
Not only Cao Cao was very relaxed, but Liu Bei and Sun Jian also felt very relaxed. For this reason, they even made a bet that the three parties would take turns to attack the city to see who could break through the Yuyuan Pass, and whoever broke through the Yuyuan Pass would be the first to take the lead.
Liu Bei had the least number of people and the lightest weight to speak, Cao Cao and Sun Jian tacitly "took care" of him and handed him the first task. Liu Bei was like a mirror in his heart, he didn't go all out, but just sent Guan Yu to lead two hundred soldiers to attack tentatively and gave up. Guan Yu didn't even go into battle to fight, he carried his Qinglong Yanyue Knife, stood in the distance and watched for a while, cutting off a giant arrow shot from a city-guarding crossbow. And he retreated.
His attack provided Cao Cao and Sun Jian with a clear understanding of the garrison of the Yuyuan Pass, and let them know the location of the crossbow guarding the city.
For this reason, Guan Yu was still a little dissatisfied and complained a few words to Liu Bei. Liu Bei was indifferent, smiling and silent.
Cao Cao then launched a fierce attack, and shortly after Xiahou Yuan led two hundred soldiers to rush forward, Dian Wei led fifty heavily armored warriors to the city wall. He is like a giant axe, invincible wherever he goes. Wu Xuan set up the sheep and horse wall under the city like paper paste in front of Dian Wei, and the fifty soldiers in the sheep and horse wall were slaughtered by Dian Wei in a moment.
Just at the time of the siege. Dian Wei ran into a lot of trouble. To climb the ladder. He can only hold a halberd in one hand to block the arrow feathers, ordinary arrows do little damage to his heavy armor, but the city crossbow can shoot through the heavy armor lightly. Wu Xuan discovered Dian Wei's power, and the only three city defense crossbows were all aimed at Dian Wei and shot fiercely. Two shots to Dian Wei. Shoot him down the ladder.
Now it's the third time.
All at once. Then it declines, and then it is exhausted. Cao Cao ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and fight again tomorrow.
A day of attack. Although he failed to break through the Yuyuan Pass, everyone saw Dian Wei's bravery. He attacked three times, almost shaking the Yuyuan Pass with the power of one person, allowing people to see the powerful combat power brought by breaking through the realm. Even if the city crossbow shot him twice, it couldn't kill him, if it wasn't for Guo Wu's sacrificing body, he might have broken through the Yuyuan Pass today.
After witnessing him break through the sheep and horse wall, no one believed that there were still foot soldiers who could fight him face to face, not even those who were densely arranged. Only the same level of masters can deal with him, or hundreds or thousands of warriors can attack one after another, until he is exhausted.
Cao Cao celebrated the merits of Dian Wei, personally disarmed Dian Wei, and checked his injuries. In front of everyone, Dian Wei proudly exposed his wounds, like showing a medal. Guan Yu saw it and was depressed. If it weren't for Liu Bei to stop him, how could he let Dian Wei show his face alone today. Foot combat is not his forte, and in the face of Dian Wei, he has no chance of winning, but when he goes into battle, his appearance is not necessarily worse than Dian Wei.
Because Dian Wei is at best a brave man, but he is a person who knows how to arrange troops.
Liu Bei saw Guan Yu's displeasure, and reached out to pat Guan Yu's hand: "Yun Chang, the coming day is long, why rush for a moment." Your goal is to be a 10,000-strong enemy, not a swordsman. ”
Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled: "What my brother said is very true, I am anxious." ”
Sun Jian glanced at Cheng Pu, Cheng Pu understood, picked up the wine glass, walked to Liu Bei Guan Yu, and praised: "Yun Chang has a good beard, and it will be a rare beauty in the future." ”
Guan Yu glanced at him Cheng Pu, but he didn't speak, but he didn't object. The two things he is most proud of are his martial arts and his beard, which is beautiful, black and bright. Cheng Pu praised his beautiful beard, and he was very useful.
Liu Bei stood up and picked up his wine glass: "Cheng Gong, we are all from Youzhou, come, have a drink, for Cheng Gong's birthday." ”
Cheng Pu is in his early forties this year, and he is not qualified to be a public, but he is stable and generous, plus he is from Youzhou, and he became friends with Liu Bei and others soon after they met. Liu Bei knew that he was a close confidant of Sun Jian, and he was very polite to him, not calling him a word, but calling him Cheng Gong.
Cheng Puha smiled: "Come, have a drink." General Liu, it's our turn to go into battle tomorrow, does General Liu have a good plan to teach me? ”
Liu Bei shook his hand modestly and said with a smile: "Cheng Gong said he laughed. General Sun is a famous general in a hundred battles, and Cheng Gong and others are also battle-hardened generals, invincible and invincible, where do you want me to rap. In today's battle, General Cao's achievements were defeated, and this is the will of heaven to pay the first credit to General Sun. Bei is a reckless person, where dare to talk nonsense in front of General Sun and Cheng Gong. ”
"General Liu is humble." Cheng Pu glanced at Guan Yu and said, "In my opinion, if it weren't for the general's cautious and serious skills, with Yun Chang's martial arts and strategy, the first merit would have been General Liu's." The Lord of the Yuan League sent General Liu's brothers to fight, which is really discerning. ”
When Guan Yu heard this, he was happy in his heart, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
Cao Cao glanced at Liu Bei and Cheng Pu, who were talking happily, and smiled without saying a word. He leaned back and said to Xi Zhicai behind him: "Zhicai, look, will Sun Jian be able to capture Yuyuan Pass tomorrow?" ”
Xi Zhicai took a sip of wine and said unhurriedly: "General, it is only a matter of time before you break through the Yuyuan Pass, and it doesn't matter who it falls on. The important thing is how you deal with the incoming reinforcements after you have conquered the Rim Pass. ”
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows: "Will it be so fast?" ”
"The guards in the city are ready, it is impossible not to notify Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi, and it is impossible not to notify Luoyang to prepare for battle." Xi Zhicai drank the wine one after another: "Huangfu Song faced the alliance leader's army of more than 100,000 people, and he didn't dare to act rashly. Lu Zhi faced the pressure of Yuan Highway, and it was impossible for him to have spare strength to support Yuyuan Pass. Only the elite infantry led by the Son of Heaven can come. ”
When Xi Zhicai said this, he turned his head and glanced at Cao Cao: "There are now at least two generals who have broken through the realm, Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu, and there are 5,000 elite horsemen, which are not something that our more than 10,000 foot soldiers can stop." General, if you don't prepare early, it's a question of whether you can survive the pass alive after breaking through the pass. ”
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, waking up like a dream. He hurriedly asked, "What about Zhicai's opinion?" ”
"Save your strength, use the Yuyuan Pass as bait, lure the Son of Heaven into Songgao Mountain, and ambush it."
Cao Cao nodded repeatedly.
……
Liu Wei sat on the war horse, turned his head, looked at the two seal characters "Luoyang" above the city gate, and shook his head.
These two words have been engraved here for more than a hundred years, who would have thought that this was actually a conspiracy? If it weren't for a flash of inspiration, he smelled the breath of conspiracy from the series of actions of Ding Chong, Fu Wan and others, and rebuilt the Vermilion Que Que, but he really dug a pit and buried himself again.
Cai Yong is a scholar, and most of the conspiracies he knows are related to academic conspiracies. From Cai Yong's mouth, Liu Wei learned more about Liu Xin, and also knew what the unfilial descendants of the old Liu family had done. Wizards, almost one person has completed the fabrication of most of the cultural system. His merits alone can be compared with all the other Confucian scholars, and even comparable to Qin Shi Huang.
Qin Shi Huang only burned books, not fakes. Liu Xin went one step further, not only destroying the book, but also forging it.
Liu Wei didn't have much research on ancient books, but he knew very well how "great" Liu Xin's works were. After listening to Cai Yong's introduction, Liu Wei knew that those controversies were just trivial and had not yet touched Liu Xin's core technology.
For Liu Wei, Liu Xin's biggest crime was to erase the dragon-shaped guide map from the classics, even if he understood his fate, he had no way to improve his realm.
He didn't understand why Liu Xin did this, but he understood the lethality of a scholar, and he also understood what his own people were the most terrifying. As a clan, Liu Xin's lethality to the Liu royal family surpassed that of any person, and he directly cut off the lifeblood of the royal family. Compared with him, Wang Mang and later Cao Cao and others were weak.
There was no way out, and Liu Wei was not too nervous. Because he knows that whether it is a life or a guide map, it can't decide a qiē. Yuan Shao has phoenix eggs, a guide map, and a clear understanding of Luan Feng's life, but he may not be able to achieve the final victory.
Historically, it was Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan who won the final victory.
Now, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan's father Sun Jian is in Yuyuan Pass, and providence has brought these three together, I have to say, this is really interesting.
Yuan Shao's birdman can be put aside first, these three heroes who are still very depressed at the moment, but have an unlimited future, must be killed first.
"Majesty!" Lu Bu rode his horse and stopped in front of Liu Wei, Chitu raised his head and hissed, shaking his head and tail, as if he was excited to go on another expedition. Lu Bu was also in high spirits, and after a period of hard training, he showed signs of breaking through again. Of course, what made him happiest was that Liu Wei once again asked him to be the pioneer and rush to the aid of Yuyuan Pass. "The soldiers are ready, ready to go."
Liu Wei was just about to speak, a horse galloped in the distance, rushed to Liu Wei for more than ten steps, the knight turned over and dismounted, ran a few steps closely, knelt down in front of Liu Bian, and raised an emergency military report with both hands.
Glancing at the three cinnabars on the military newspaper, Liu Wei's eyes shrank.
Wei Guan took a step forward, took the military report, checked the completeness, glanced at it, and his face changed greatly: "Your Majesty, Mengjin Commander Gao Shun urgently reported that the 100,000 Black Mountain Army attacked Mengjin." ”。 (To be continued......)
