Chapter 150: Cao Cao counterattacks Si Li
Yao Guangxiao said: "This won't work. Xue Lan. Li Feng must not live in Yanzhou.
- This is one hundred and eighty miles due south, where the mountain road is dangerous, you can ambush ten thousand elite soldiers there.
When Cao Bing heard that he had lost his subordinates, he must have gone against the grain like this, and when he was more than halfway through, he could be captured alive with one attack. ”
Lu Bu said: "I am stationed in Hongnong, and I have another good plan, how do you know!" ”
So Lu Bu didn't use Yao Guangxiao's opinion, but used Xue Lan to guard the division.
Cao Cao's soldiers walked to the dangerous road of Mount Tai, Guo Jia said: "I can't continue to move forward now, I'm afraid there are ambushes in this place." ”
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Lu Bu is a person who has no plans, so Professor Xue Lan guards Yanzhou and goes to Hongnong by himself, how can there be an ambush here?" Teach Cao Ren to lead an army to besiege Sili, I attack Hongnong, and quickly attack Lü Bu. ”
Yao Guangxiao heard that Cao Bing was approaching, so he offered a plan and said: "Now that Cao Bing has come from afar, he is exhausted, which is conducive to a quick battle, and he cannot cultivate strength. ”
Lu Bu said: "I have a horse that dominates the world, why worry about Cao Cao!" When he goes down, I will arrest him myself. ”
Besides, Cao Cao's army was close to Hongnong and lived at the foot of the village.
The next day, the generals appeared, and Chen's army was in the field. Cao Cao immediately stood under the banner of the door and watched Lu Bu's soldiers arrive from afar. In the middle circle, Lu Bu should start with the horse, and eight athletes should be lined up on both sides: the first Yanmen Mayi person, surnamed Zhang, named Liao, and the character Wenyuan; The second Taishan Huayin person, surnamed Zang, famous tyrant, the word Xuangao. The two generals each introduced three strong generals: Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng.
Lü Bu's army was 50,000, and the drums shook loudly. Cao Cao pointed at Lu Budi and said, "I have never had a hatred with you, how can you take away my states and counties?" ”
Lu Bu said: "The Han family city should be a share of everyone in the world, why is it yours?" Then he asked Zang Ba to send troops and horses to challenge.
Cao Cao came in and out to greet him. The two horses intersect and the two guns fire in unison. Fight to thirty rounds, win or lose. Xiahou came out to help the battle, and Zhang Liao on Lu Bu's side intercepted him and killed.
Troubled by Lu Bu's temperament, he suddenly rushed out of the formation. Xiahoudun and Le Jin hurriedly retreated, Lü Bu attacked, Cao Cao was defeated, and retreated thirty or forty miles, Lü Bu's calm defenders.
Cao Cao lost for a while and returned to the village to discuss with the generals. Yu Ban said: "I went up the mountain today to see, in the west of Puyang, there is a village in Lu Bu, and there are not many sergeants to guard it. They have just defeated us tonight, and they must not be prepared to be on guard, and can lead their troops against him; If they get the village, Lü Bu's army will be afraid: this is the best policy. ”
Cao Cao listened to him. , Cao Cao personally led Cao Hong, Li Dian, Mao, Lü Qian, Yu Ban, Dian Wei six generals, 20,000 foot and cavalry, and set off from the road overnight.
Besides, Lu Bu comforted the army in the village. Yao Guangxiao said: "Xizhai is a critical place, what if Cao Cao attacks? ”
Lu Bu said: "He lost for a while today, how can he dare to come!" “
Yao Guangxiao said: "Cao Cao is a very good man with soldiers, and he is unprepared to prevent him from attacking us. So Lu Bu sent Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng to lead troops to guard Xizhai.
Besides, Cao Cao led his army to Xizhai at dusk and broke through from all sides. The soldiers of the village could not resist and fled in all directions, and Cao Cao captured the village. It was not until the fourth watch that Zhang Liao led the army to arrive, and the killing generals came in.
Cao Cao personally led the army and horses to greet him, and he met Zhang Liao, the three armies were in a scuffle, and it was almost dawn, and the drums in the west were shaken, and there was a herald to report that Lu Bu personally led the rescue soldiers.
Cao Cao had no choice but to abandon the village and flee. Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, and Hou Liucheng rushed behind him; Lu Bu personally led the army to come. In the ban, Lejin and Lu Bu did not go. Cao Cao looked to the north and walked away. A biao army behind the mountain came out: there were Song Xian and Cao Xing on the left, and Zang Ba on the right.
Cao Cao then sent Lü Qian and Cao Hong to meet them, but the results were unfavorable. Cao Cao headed west.
Suddenly, another shout shook the sky, and a team of troops arrived: Hao Meng and Cheng Lian blocked the way. The generals were killed in battle, and Cao Cao had to charge the battle first. Where there was a sound, arrows shot like a torrential rain.
Cao Cao couldn't move forward, there was no way to escape, and shouted: "Who can save me!" In the army, a general jumped out, but it was Dian Wei, holding a double iron halberd, and shouted: "You don't have to worry! ”
Flying off his horse, he inserted the double halberd, took a dozen halberds, held them in his hands, and said to his entourage: "They will call me when they are ten steps away from us!" So he let go of his steps and braved the arrows.
Dozens of cavalry from Lu Bu's army chased after him. The servant shouted, "Ten steps!" ”
Dian Wei said: "When you are five steps away, call me again!" ”
The man said again: "Five steps! ”
Dian Wei then threw the halberd in his hand, and one halberd fell off the horse, and none of them were missing, killing more than a dozen people in a row. Lu Bu's troops did not dare to catch up.
Dian Wei flew on his horse again, stood up a pair of big iron halberds, and rushed in.
Hao and Cao couldn't resist and fled. Dian Wei killed and dispersed the enemy army and rescued Cao Cao. The generals then arrived, looking for their way back to the village. Look at the evening of the day, where the shouting behind him started, Lu Bu suddenly chased after him with a halberd, shouting: "Cao Cao's thief army is gone!" At this time, people were sleepy and tired, and everyone looked at each other, wanting to escape.
Cao Cao was running in a hurry, and a group of troops arrived from the south, so Xiahou led his troops to the rescue and stopped the battle of Lü Bu. At dusk, heavy rain, each led the army to disperse. Cao Cao returned to the village, rewarded Dian Wei, and was appointed as the commander of the army.
Besides, Lu Bu went to the village and discussed with Yao Guangxiao. Yao Guangxiao said: "There are wealthy Toda clans in Puhong Agricultural City, with thousands of servants, as a large family in a county; He could secretly send someone to get a letter from the village, saying, 'The Marquis of Lü Wen is cruel and unkind, and the people are very resentful. Now I want to move to Liyang, only Zhang Liao is in the city. We can march overnight, and we will do the internal response. Then you entered the city as they induced, and set fire to the four gates, and set ambush to the outside. Although Cao Cao has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, how can he escape here? ”
Lü Bu listened to Yao Guangxiao's strategy and secretly told the Tian family to let him go directly to Cao Cao's camp.
Cao Cao was newly defeated and was hesitating, when someone suddenly came to report the arrival of the Tian clan, and presented a secret letter saying: "Lu Bu has gone to Liyang, and the city is empty. Hope to come quickly, when it is an internal response. A white flag was planted on the city, and the word 'righteousness' in big characters was this code. “
Cao Cao was very happy and said, "God let me get Hongnong's!" "Those who have come are rewarded heavily, while cleaning up the war. Liu Ye said: "Although Lu Bu has no strategy. But judging from these days, Yao Guangxiao still knows the art of war. I'm just worried that there is fraud in it, and I can't help it. If you want to go, divide the army into three teams: two teams will be ambushed outside the city to meet them, and one team will enter the city. ”
Cao Cao listened to him. , the soldiers divided into three roads and came to Puyang City.
Cao Cao went to see him first, and saw that flags were erected all over the city, and on the corner of the west gate, there was a white flag with the word "righteousness", and he was secretly happy in his heart. At noon on this day, the city gate was opened, and two generals led the army to battle: Hou Cheng of the former army and Zhang Liao of the rear army.
Cao Cao sent Dian Wei out of the horse and took Hou Cheng directly. Hou Cheng couldn't reach it, so he went back to Mawang City and ran. Dian Wei rushed to the drawbridge, but Zhang Liao couldn't stop it, and they all retreated into the city.
Within a few days, someone took the opportunity to meet Cao Cao, saying that it was Tian's envoy and submitted a secret letter. Joo said, "At the beginning of the evening evening, the city will beat the gong and gather as a trumpet, and then you can march. I will dedicate the door. “
Cao Cao sent Xiahou to lead the troops on the left, Cao Hong to lead the troops on the right, and he led the four generals Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, Le Jin, and Dian Wei to lead the troops into the city. Li Dian said: "You are outside the city, let us go into the city first." Cao Cao shouted: "If I don't go myself, who will move forward!" "You should lead your troops straight in.
At that time, the agreement began to change, and the moonlight was not available. I could only hear the sound of the shell blowing on the west gate, and the shouting suddenly arose, and the torches on the gate were burning, the city gate was wide open, and the drawbridge was down. Cao Cao fought to pat his horse into the city first.
Until he arrived at the state office, there was no one on the road, Cao Cao knew that this was a plan, hurriedly turned back his horse, and shouted: "Retreat!" ”
At this time, a cannon rang out in the state office, and four flames burst into the sky; The golden drums sounded in unison, and the shouts were like the Yangtze River turning over the sea boiling. Zhang Liao was transferred out of the east lane, and Zang Ba was transferred out of the west lane, and he was chased and killed. Cao Cao walked through the north gate, and Hao Meng and Cao Xing turned out on the side of the road, and killed them for a while. Cao Cao hurriedly ran to the south gate, but Gao Shun and Hou Cheng stopped him. Dian Wei gritted his teeth in anger and rushed out. Gao Shun and Hou Cheng fled from the city.
