Chapter 68: The Attack

Let's talk about Cao Cao again, Cao Cao ordered Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, and Yu Ban to be the vanguard, leading 20,000 troops, and the pioneer Xiahoudun marched all the way west, capturing countless counties under the rule of Xuzhou, but taking into account Du Chen and his parents, on the way to the west, he did not hurt the people, only took Tao Qian and Xuzhou City, so no one complained! When Jiujiang was too guarded by the border, he had a good relationship with Tao Qian, and when he heard that Xuzhou was in trouble, he brought 5,000 troops to save him. The fury of Cao Wen made Xiahou kill him on the road. Shi Chen Gong was engaged in Dongjun, and he also had a close relationship with Tao Qian; Hearing that Cao Cao raised troops to take revenge and wanted to kill the people, he came to see Cao in the starry night.

Cao Zhi is a lobbyist for Tao Qian, and he wants to be seen, but he can't extinguish the old kindness, so he has to ask him to meet in the account. Gong said: "Today, I heard that the Ming Duke came to Xuzhou with a large soldier to avenge his father's revenge, so he came to speak." Tao Qian is a benevolent gentleman, not a person who forgets righteousness; The murder of his father is Zhang Min's evil, not a crime of humility. And the people of the state and county, what enmity do they have with the Ming Gong? Kill ominous. Think twice. ”

Cao said angrily: "The prince abandoned me in the past, what face will I see again?" Tao Qian killed my family, and vowed to pluck out his heart and hate him with snow! Although the public lobbied for Tao Qian, he didn't listen to him! Chen Gong resigned and sighed: "I don't have the face to see Tao Qianye!" Then he galloped to Chen and stayed too guarded by Zhang Miao.

Let's say that the Cao army marched all the way west, went straight to Xuzhou City, Tao Qian was in Xuzhou, heard that Cao Cao raised the army to take revenge, looked up to the sky and cried: "I was guilty of heaven, causing the people of Xuzhou to suffer this great disaster!" "Gather all the officials to discuss. Cao Bao said: "Cao Bing is here, how can he be tied to death!" A certain is willing to help the king break it. Tao Qian had to lead the troops out to greet him, looking at the army from afar, like frost and snow, the Chinese army erected two white flags, and the big book took revenge. The military horses formed a formation, and Cao manipulated the horses out of the battle, wearing a vegetarian shirt, and scolded with a whip.

Tao Qian also came out of the door, and bowed to Shi Li and said: "Qian originally wanted to marry Ming Gong, so he asked Zhang Min to escort him." I don't want to be a thief, so I have this incident. It's really not Tao Qian's sake. I hope that the public will see it. scolded and said, "Old horseman! Kill my father, dare to talk nonsense! Who can capture the thief alive? Xiahoudun came out in response. Tao Qian panicked and walked into the battle. Xiahoudun rushed over, and Cao Bao jumped on his horse with a spear and came to meet the enemy. The two horses intersected, and suddenly the wind blew fiercely, flying sand and rocks, and the two armies were in chaos, and each withdrew its troops.

Cao Cao retreated thirty miles and set up camp on the spot. Tao Qian entered the city and discussed with the crowd and said: "Cao's army is very difficult to fight, I should bind myself to the camp and let it be cut to save the lives of the people of Xuzhou County." The words are endless, Mi Zhujin said in the preface: "The town of Xuzhou is a long time, and the people are grateful." Although there are many Cao soldiers today, they have not been able to break our city immediately. The prince and the people insisted on not going out; Although he is not talented, he is willing to use a small strategy to teach Cao Cao to die without a place to be buried! The people were astonished, and asked if they would come out. Mi Zhu said: "I am willing to go to Beihai County in person and ask Kong Rong to raise troops to rescue; One person had to go to Tiankai in Qingzhou for help: if the two military horses came together, they would retreat. Humility followed, so he wrote two letters and asked who dared to go to Qingzhou for help. One person responded. In the eyes of the public, it is a native of Guangling, surnamed Chen, named Deng, and the character Yuanlong. Tao Qian first sent Chen Yuanlong to Qingzhou, and then ordered Mi Zhu to go to Beihai to lead the people to defend the city in preparation for the attack.

At the same time, at night, Cao Cao summoned the generals to discuss. Cao Ren said, "It's better to take advantage of the darkness and wait for the opportunity to attack at night!" "No!" Xun Yu frowned and said, "Don't say that this plan is easy to be seen through by people of insight in Xuzhou, just say that I will come all the way, and the soldiers are tired, so it is better to rest for a few days to make Xuzhou!" Xiahoudun is now convinced of Du Chen, but he is not convinced of Xun Yu, and when he heard this, he said, "Xun is afraid?" Xun Yu was so angry that he was silent.

At this time, Guo Jia said: "What the lord said, but you can try." At the time of the third watch, Cao Ren led a thousand elite soldiers to approach Xuzhou, and suddenly found that there was some hazy light outside Xuzhou City, and suddenly secretly staggered at a glance, it turned out that there were many huge bronze mirrors erected on the city wall, illuminating the outside of Xuzhou City by the huge bonfire. Before Cao Ren approached the state city wall, there was a commotion, and then the alarm bell was loud, and the state soldiers waited on the city wall one after another, waiting solemnly. Cao Ren saw that he was alarmed and helpless, so he had to lead the army back to inform Cao Cao and the strategists about the matter. When Cao Cao heard this, he was amazed.

Guo Jia condensed and said, "Could it be that there are high-ranking people in the city to help? Cao Cao was puzzled, and looked at the direction of Xuzhou for a long time without saying a word. On the second day, Xiahou Yuan was ordered by Cao Cao to find the people near Xuzhou and get one or two people. Cao Cao asked, "Are there famous people in the city?" Because Cao Jun's westward advance did not hurt the people, those people were very excited after hearing this, and said with their eyebrows fluttering: "A few generals, I don't know, there are famous people in the city, but the arrangement on the city wall and outside the city is not from their hands."

After Cao Cao heard this, he was very puzzled, "That's from ......."

"It is from the hands of Mr. Du, that Mr. Du is a native of Dongwu County under the rule of Xuzhou, his surname is Du Mingchen Silang, there were yellow turban thieves attacking the city before, Mr. Du specially arranged it to protect Xuzhou City, and later in order to prevent the enemy from attacking the city, it was not demolished, by the way, the famous man in the city is Chen Deng, Chen Yuanlong, the young master of the Chen family!" When the man finished speaking, he was amazed when he saw that everyone was stunned, so he saluted and left! As soon as the common man left, Cao Cao said with a smile: "I thought it was arranged by the masters in the city, but I didn't expect it to be Silang's handwriting, Fengxiao, what do you think?" Guo Jia stroked his palms and smiled: "The people in Xuzhou City are not Si Lang, but the strategies of others who have left Si Lang, what do they have, but it is just a little difficult to do, for this, we can only ......"

At this time, Xun Yu said: "Break it with Zheng!" After saying that, everyone looked at each other and laughed. So Cao Cao followed Xun Yu's strategy and besieged Xuzhou with Zhengyu troops, and both sides suffered casualties. Just as Cao Cao was attacking Xuzhou, Chen Gong went to talk about Zhang Miao, and at the same time met the last person he followed in his life, that was Lu Bu. When Lu Bu heard this, his heart was moved, and he wanted to take advantage of Cao Cao's emptiness in Yanzhou and lead his army to attack it. When Zhang Miao saw it, he sighed that his old friend had fallen to this, so he helped Lu Bu with 5,000 elite soldiers and helped him take Yanzhou as his residence. Lu Bu was overjoyed, so he summoned the generals to go to Yanzhou.

In the autumn of the second year of Zhongping, Dongjun Taishou Chen Palace was dissatisfied with Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou City because of personal revenge, and Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao and Lu Buqi 30,000 elite soldiers attacked Yanzhou. Cao Cao's first strategist, Du Silang, rejected Lu Bu and Chen Gong outside Xuchang City. Romance of the Three Kingdoms. WEI Zhi. The Biography of Du Silang

Our classmate Cao Cao is now attacking Xuzhou City, so what is our classmate Du Chen doing? The camera turned to Du Mansion, Du Chen was eating tofu, and he was very happy! Suddenly, I felt that my eyelids were jumping hard, and I hurriedly took out the tortoise shell and copper coins and calculated a hexagram. Hurriedly summoned the guards and asked people to quickly close the city gate, no matter when Lu Bu came, prevention was the most important thing.

The guards walked for a short time, and then someone came to report Du Chen quickly, saying that a large group of cavalry suddenly appeared outside Xuchang City, and the cavalry suddenly appeared outside Xuchang City, as if it fell from the sky without any warning.

Hearing this news, Du Chen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, if it wasn't for his own calculations, he thought that Lu Bu's army had already attacked Xuchang, but even so, the form of Xuchang City was not optimistic, you must know that Cao Cao took away most of the elites in Yanzhou, and at this time Xuchang City only had 10,000 elite soldiers! Outside Xuchang City, Zhang Liao rode his horse to Xuchang City and looked in the direction of Xuchang City, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled and helpless. You must know that since he received the order, he quickly brushed the soldiers and felt Xuchang, thinking that he could sneak attack, but when he led the cavalry to feel it, Xuchang City was already closed. To say that Xuchang City closed the city gate so early, it is 100% unbelievable, but if this is not the case, how can we explain that the city gate is closed now. Could it be that his whereabouts were exposed, so he was known by Cao Jun in Xuchang City? However, this is also unlikely, you must know that you have traveled lightly all the way, and in order to sneak attack Xuchang City, Zhang Liao has abandoned a qiē baggage, the purpose is to catch the Cao army in Xuchang City by surprise. But in the face of such a result, Zhang Liao couldn't help but vomit blood a little depressed. But now is not the time to worry about this, now that the gate of Xuchang City is closed, his light cavalry has no way to take Xuchang City. So in the face of this situation, Zhang Liao could only pass back to Lu Bu for him to make a decision. In Puyang City, Lu Bu was talking to a middle-aged scribe with a happy face. The middle-aged scribe's face was grim and silent, but his eyes were full of infinite wisdom. From time to time, he interjected a sentence when Lu Bu was speaking, and Lu Bu listened to the opinions of middle-aged scribes very much, and whenever middle-aged scribes spoke, Lu Bu would listen very attentively. Obviously, this middle-aged scribe is Chen Gong. "Report!" Just as Lu Bu and Chen Gong were chatting happily, a soldier hurriedly ran up. Seeing the soldier's anxious look, Lu Bu couldn't help frowning a little, and then Lu Bu said angrily: "What's the matter! Hearing Lu Bu's words, the soldier kneeling in the hall couldn't help but tremble, and then the soldier said with a slight trembling: "Just now General Zhang Liao sent someone to report that the sneak attack on Xuchang failed. "What!" Lu Bu was furious when he heard this. Immediately sat up from his seat, and then Lu Bu asked Chen Gong with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Sir, you didn't say that this matter was foolproof, why did you fail again?" Chen Gong was also slightly startled when he heard the soldier's report, but he quickly suppressed the shock in his heart. Then Chen Gong calmed his mind for a moment, and said to Lu Bu: "Don't worry, Wenhou, wait for me to ask first." After speaking, Chen Gong also got up from his seat, came to the soldier's side and said, "Get up and speak first." The soldier hurriedly stood up, the soldier wanted to talk to Chen Gong more than Lu Bu. After all, Chen Gong did not have the same momentum as Lu Bu, so the soldiers would not feel very restrained when talking to Chen Gong. "Tell me, what happened?" Although Chen Gong was also extremely shocked, he was too calm like Lu Bu. General Zhang Liao ordered someone to send news, saying that when the general led his troops to Xuchang, the gate of Xuchang was closed. General Zhang was a light cavalry, so he did not attack the city, and is now being corrected outside the city. The soldier hurriedly said to Chen Gong. After listening to the soldier's words, Chen Gong pondered for a long time with a calm face. Then he said and said secretly: "That Du Chen Du Silang is really difficult. "Du Chen, Du Silang?! I didn't think it was him. Lu Bu said in a deep voice. Wen Hou also knows him? "That's right!" Lu Bu opened his mouth and said: "It was he who saved the Young Emperor and King Chen Liuwang in Bishan back then. ”
