Chapter 24、So bait the enemy

According to Fu Zhu's original plan, he wanted to try to fight Cao Jun in the field. He had already secretly laid iron chains in many places on the Zhanghe River, and also trained a team of boat soldiers who could quickly lay pontoon bridges, intending to make Zhang Nan, who was stationed in Wucheng, cross the river to attack the flank of Cao's army during the fierce battle. But the plan had already been discussed, but Xu You quietly went to Yuan Shao and offered a plan that he could use Yuan Shao's flag and golden umbrella cover to lure Cao Cao out and strive to capture him alive.

Xu You said: "Although Meng De is good at planning, when he fights in chaos, he also relies on his bravery. When he was a teenager, he broke into Zhang Rang's house and came out with a halberd, which was well known to the owner. Although I am old, I have observed what he has done, and I have made many dangerous mistakes. If the main flag and umbrella come to the front of the battle, Meng De will be happy when he sees the hunt, and he will definitely come to take it, and it is not difficult to capture it. ”

Yuan Shao asked, how can you be sure that he will definitely come by himself, instead of sending a general? Xu You said with a smile: "I expect that Meng De will be embarrassed to attack Ye, and he will want to destroy our army in the wilderness, and I also know that this is a bait, and the one who is tempted is also him." If he does not come in person, the bait will be collected, and the lord will retreat, and he will have nothing to gain. The flag and umbrella cover are about to be in the place where Mengde seems to be available, then it will come! ”

Yuan Shao said, Aren't I too dangerous? Xu You said with a smile: "You Danyun borrowed the lord's flag and umbrella as bait, and did not say that he used the lord as bait. The lord is the commander of an army, how can he take risks lightly? But it is still in Zhangbei, and it will be safe to meet with General Zhang, separated by Zhangshui. ”

Yuan Shao frowned and expressed doubts: "I am the commander, and I am afraid that people will laugh at me if I bluff the flag and the umbrella is the bait." ”

Xu Yu replied sternly: "If the lord is defeated, it will be laughed for the world, and if he wins, who will dare to laugh?" If Meng De can be captured, the world will be in the hands of the lord, and there will be those who dare to speak out about this. It's okay to kill! ”

Yuan Shaona and Cao Cao are also old friends, carefully studying Xu You's words, and feel that Cao Cao is indeed very likely to break through in person and go straight to his flag and umbrella. After thinking about it repeatedly, the temptation to capture Cao Cao alive was too great - he had lost consecutive battles in the past two years. If the city was lost and the land was lost, if it was still the form before the fierce battle of Guandu, it would definitely not have made such a decision-so he agreed to Xu Yu's plan.

Xu You finally proposed to Yuan Shao: "This is a secret plan, don't leak it, if you leak it, you will lose!" He knew how fierce the factional struggle within the Yuan family was, and believed that his plan would be made public. Chun Yuqiong, Guo Tu and others must pick a bone in the egg -- there is no perfect strategy in the world, and if you want to find a fault, you can always find it -- Xun Chen, Xin Ping and other corrupt Confucians may also say: "The general should not set up another flag and umbrella to carry out this deceit, this is not the royal way." "So, let's do it quietly, and it's best not to tell anyone.

Therefore, even the three major overseers who were in charge of the battle, Guo Tu, and Chun Yuqiong, did not know that Yuan Shao on Shijing Gang was fake. Zhen Yuan Shao didn't go out of the polluted city with them at all, and only after they left, did he personally lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to Wucheng to meet Zhang Nan. Yuan Shao just gave Jiang Qi and Zhu Ling a secret plan, asking them to find an opportunity to capture Cao Cao.

Fu Zhi and others were commanding the troops on the front line, and occasionally glanced at the lord's flag and umbrella cover to run so forward. That's too dangerous, so send someone to ask him to retreat. Only then did Xu You proudly reveal the plan, and stomped his feet in frustration: Why didn't you say it earlier? Jiang Qi, I have been transferred to the rear road, and the array I am lined up is not enough to cut off Cao Cao's retreat - if Cao Cao really dares to take the risk lightly - I plan to use Zhang Nan's soldiers and horses to inflict heavy damage on Cao's army here.

Xu You said that it didn't matter, just send Zhu Ling over. If you can really hit Cao Jun hard here, even if Cao Cao breaks through Zhu Ling's interception, how far can he run? As soon as his words fell, a junior colonel came to report that an enemy army was flying Cao Cao's general banner. Go straight to Shijinggang.

It was the right time for Cao Cao to be in the camp, and it was convenient for me to carry out the original plan, and if I could really hold Cao Cao, it would be an addition. So he shook the order. The boats waiting upstream were immediately lowered, the pontoon bridge was built in an instant, and Zhang Nan led the army directly into the flank of Cao's army.

And not only Zhang Nan, Yuan Shao with 3,000 soldiers and horses, at a glance, it was absolutely beneficial to his side, and he also crossed the Zhanghe River happily. Cao Jun was unexpected, and sure enough, the array was in chaos, and then Zhu Ling failed to intercept Cao Cao, Cao Cao took the lead in escaping, and Cao's army collapsed.

Chun Yuqiong rushed out first: "Let's wait for someone to capture Meng De alive!" "Frustrated Zhu hurriedly stopped him, saying that according to the original plan, we can defeat Cao Jun, general, you must not chase deeply-"Deep pursuit will be defeated!" However, Guo Tu sneered beside him: "Cao Jun abandoned his armor and threw himself away, it was a real defeat, if he didn't tempt me, how could he not chase him deeply?" You can go straight to the bottom of Bo Ye City, and then open the city to kill in the south, and you will be ashamed of Xue Guandu! "I don't care about frustration anymore, and I go after it with Chun Yuqiong.

Fu Zhu and Xu You hurriedly rode their horses to find Yuan Shao and asked him to order the collection of troops. Yuan Shao said that we fought very well, and we just took the opportunity to drive Cao Cao out of Hebei, why did we have to collect troops? Xu You said: "The three armies have no command of each other, scattered and undisciplined, if they chase deeply, it may be difficult to succeed." It's better to take the lead, and then slowly move forward...... "He also complained a little bit about Yuan Shao in his heart, originally the former enemy commander-in-chief was frustrated, Yuan Shao was afraid that it would be difficult to control it, so he had to divide it into three and hand it over to Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong. Chun Yuqiong is an old man, completely brainless, Guo Tu has a brain, but the actual ability to command the army is too poor - now those two wastes say that they want to chase, and Frustration says that they can't chase, although I don't know what the reason is, but I would rather believe Frustration Zifu.

Xu You is a real strategist, and he has not actually led soldiers, so there are some situations that he does not understand. He was so anxious that he stomped on the stirrup: "Our army is defeated and can be rectified, and if it wins, it will be chaotic, and if you don't chase it, you can take advantage of the victory to relieve the siege of Yecheng, and you will lose your division if you chase it!" He pointed into the distance: "Lord, please look!" Yuan Shao stepped on the stirrup and straightened his waist, stood up, put his hand on the awning, and looked in the direction of his fingers, and couldn't help but change his complexion!

When Yuan Shao changed color here, Chun Yuqiong and Guo Tu had already led their soldiers and horses in person, rushed out for a long time, and met the soldiers of the palace who were forbidden. Yu Wen was really extraordinary, as soon as he collected two or three thousand defeated soldiers, he dared to fight in formation, and carried the chasing soldiers of the Yuan family - Chun Yuqiong rushed twice and failed to rush over.

Guo Tuchi approached Chun Yu Qiong and told him that this is not good, we are busy pursuing, the array has dispersed, and we must retreat one arrow and reorganize the queue in order to break the Yu Ban in front of him. Chun Yuqiong pouted: "It's the battle of the trapped beast." If I temporarily retreat and reorganize, then Meng De will inevitably jump far away, return to the city, and join the besieging departments, then it will be difficult for me to complete the work. Yu is outnumbered and limited, so it is better to face the enemy in front of the public, and wait for a certain person to rush through the two wings to chase Mengde. ”

Guo Tuxin said that your idea is right, the question is...... Why do you want me to stop Yu Ban, you go after Cao Cao, and get a great success? Shall we turn around? - "Zhong Jian Su will also, but it can be forbidden. The picture shows the backward and chasing the enemy. ”

Of course, Chun Yuqiong refused to agree, the two of them fought for me, and they almost didn't quarrel.

At this time, Cao Cao had already stopped in Xiuren Township, southwest of Yecheng, and climbed a low slope with Xun You and others to slowly restrain the defeated army. This place is not far from Yecheng, and when you climb high on the city wall, you can even see Cao Cao's general flag clearly.

Immediately, Xun also climbed the low slope, Cao Cao pulled his arm, and pointed from afar: "Hongfu and look!" "Shi Xun looked around, and he saw that it was so miserable, the plains were full of the Cao family's routs, followed by Yuan's pursuers. In order to escape the pursuit, many pawns not only threw away their weapons, but also took off their helmets, breastplates, and even the bags of dry food from their waists. Yuan Bing chased after him, and picked up leaks on the other, and he didn't seem to be very interested in weapons and armor, the first thing to grab was a baggage vehicle, and the second thing to grab was a bag of dry food.

Cao Cao smiled and said to Xun: "How? "Is Xun Xin saying that you can still laugh at this time? Oh, wait, Cao Cao still laughed after losing the battle...... In our original plan, didn't we have to suffer a small defeat first, and then break Yuan under the city......

Although this is a real defeat and not a fraud, the question is ...... It was originally planned to encircle and annihilate Yuan's army, but it was not this defeated army......

Chen Qun was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat next to him, and advised Cao Cao: "The danger is not solved, please return the camp to the lord!" In the blink of an eye, Shi Xun had already reacted, and he couldn't help but laugh at the moment: "This is why bait the enemy, how to get there?" ”

Yes Xun, this is the original sentence, copying what Xun Yu said in the original history. In the original history, before the official crossing, Cao Cao beheaded Yan Liang in Baima, that is, migrated his people, and walked west along the Yellow River, and Yuan Shao made Wen Chou and Liu Bei cross the river in pursuit. Cao Cao retreated all the way to the south of Yanjin, climbed the base and looked, and saw that the baggage was full of roads, and the back was full of pursuing Yuan troops, with no less than five or six hundred cavalry, and countless infantry. All the generals thought that the enemy was outnumbered and should retire the camp, but Xun You said: "This is why bait the enemy, how to get there?" (In this "Emperor Wu Ji", it is recorded in "Xun You Biography": "So capture the enemy, how to go?") ”)

It is equivalent to Cao Cao using a baggage vehicle to lure the enemy, and the Yuan soldiers in order to snatch the baggage, the guide zhì array is scattered, so Cao manipulates the troops to attack it, breaks the Yuan army, and beheads Wen Chou.

Now it is Xun who looks, this situation is very similar to the battle of Yanjin, the Yuan soldiers in front of him are almost crazy, and they are no longer "chaos", and they can hardly see the shape of any array. At this time, if a new army suddenly kills, it will definitely be able to defeat Yuan's army - the problem is that when he looks at the bottom of the low slope, the thousand defeated soldiers that have just been gathered do not look like they can fight again......

"Where is Zilian and Miaocai?"

According to the original plan, Cao Cao retreated after defeat, and Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan, who were besieging Yecheng, would quietly mobilize the main force to advance eastward, and cooperate with the defeat of Yuan's army in one fell swoop. Now that they have indeed lost, then according to the original plan, Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan should have arrived nearby.

Xun You nodded and said: "I have ordered General Miaocai to lead the cavalry up Zhangzhang and take the pontoon bridge directly, and General Zilian will kill from the southern line." Before the words fell, the southern drums were heard, and then the 400-strong formation of more than a dozen Cao soldiers lined up in the shape of sharp arrows and penetrated directly into the flank of Yuan's pursuers!
