Chapter 265: Cao Jun Arrives
Han then returned to the barracks and began to prepare the troops and horses, and on the one hand, Cao Cao's front vanguard Yu Ban and Cao Hong had already led the troops to arrive near Tongguan, and they did not allow Yuan Shang to confront each other head-on in accordance with Cao Cao's military order, but only waited for the camp to wait for Cao Cao's main force to arrive.
Cao Hong and Yu Ban did not attack or fight, they were not in a hurry, but how could Yuan Shang give him a chance to breathe? He immediately decided that before Cao Cao's main force arrived, he must give Cao Hong and Yu Ban's front vanguard a fierce dismount, so that they can know the strength of their own side!
Since the opponent did not come to attack, Yuan Shang decided to start a stealing camp against them, he summoned his generals overnight to discuss the plan of stealing the camp, and sent people to Han Sui's military camp, asking him to send troops to help and go to Cao Hong's camp together.
When Han Sui received Yuan Shang's handwritten letter, he couldn't help jumping to his feet and scolding angrily.
"This hateful Yuan family, the old man came to surrender, he couldn't help but send troops to attack the old man, and now my soldiers and horses have not yet finished resting, he actually let the old man go with him to attack the camp? This clearly shows that the old man is used as a sword, and the old man can be at the mercy of his tricks! ”
On the left side of Han Sui, Yan Xing said to him with a dull expression: "Lord, although the words are so reasonable, but the last general feels that we have just come to defect to Yuan Shang, and he ordered us to help them attack the camp, if we should not, I am afraid that we will lose our manners!" If you want to gain Yuan Shang's trust in the future, it will be difficult. ”
Han Sui sneered when he heard this, and said: "Yanming, you are really a real person, the old man has already been with you in Jincheng at the beginning, and helping Yuan Shang is not that the old man wants to sincerely join his command, but to take advantage of the situation to win benefits in Guanzhong, if you sincerely help him, how will the old man fulfill the plan he set up at the beginning in the future?" ”
Yan Xing nodded when he heard this, and said with a slight hesitation: "Although the words are so, the last general will observe that Yuan Shang." is not a stupid person, if the lord refuses to help him sincerely, I am afraid that he will doubt the lord. ”
Han Sui smiled when he heard this: "It's okay, don't worry, I will send troops this time." The old man would naturally agree to him. But it's still the same old way that we should have been with Zhong Xuan......... is just to make preparations for the army, but not really send troops, if Yuan Shangruo asks, the old man only needs to answer that the soldiers and horses have not yet finished resting. ”
Yan Xing couldn't help but nod when he heard this: "The lord is wise. This strategy was originally used when Zhong Xuan went north to conquer and annex the state, and this time it was used to deal with Yuan Shang, which is in line with his strategy! ”
Fifty miles outside Tongguan, the forward camp of the Cao army was silent, and tonight there were no clouds, and the moon and stars were scarce.
Yuan Shang and Zhao Yun. Zhang Jaw and other generals led the sneak attack soldiers and horses displayed not far from the Cao army camp, Yuan Shang sat cross-legged on the grass, half-blind, and didn't know whether to sleep or wake up, behind him stood Zhang Jaw and Zhao Yun two generals, one stared at Cao Ying in the distance, and the other was quite anxious back and forth.
"The generals of the Cao army are not bad, and the guards of his camp are quite systematic and strict. I'm afraid it's not easy to steal camps! Zhang Jaw looked at it and muttered to himself with some bitterness.
Zhao Yun walked back and forth, leaning behind him as he walked.
"It's almost time, why haven't Han Sui's soldiers and horses arrived yet? If you don't come again, the day will be dawn, is it possible to sneak the camp again when it is dawn? Then the odds are even lower! ”
After listening to the words of the two generals, Yuan Shang did not move. He just tapped his knees gently, silently pondering something as he tapped, until there was a crisp sound of horses' hooves behind him, but it was his own scouts galloping from back to front. When he came to Yuan Shang, he turned over and dismounted. He arched his hand at Yuan Shang and said, "My lord, my subordinates have been ordered, and I have already gone to General Han Sui Han to see it." ”
Yuan Shang's eyes, which had been blind, suddenly opened, glanced at the general lightly, and asked in a deep voice, "How is it?" General Han is already ready to send troops! ”
The scout respectfully reported: "In General Han's camp, the soldiers and horses are dispatched, and everything is going on for the expedition, but due to the last attack of our army, General Han has suffered a lot of losses, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to complete the deployment for a while. ”
After listening to the scout's words, Zhao Yun and Zhang Jaw Er couldn't help but glance at each other depressedly, relatively speechless.
After Yuan Shang heard the news that Han Sui had rectified the soldiers and horses, but it was not yet complete, his eyes couldn't help but flash with a fierce light, but it was only a moment, and he disappeared later, replaced by a thoughtful look.
Zhang Jaw sighed, walked to Yuan Shang's side, arched his hand at him, and said: "Lord, now that Han Sui's soldiers and horses have not yet arrived, Cao Hong and Yu Ban's forward camp is heavily guarded, and they can't be conquered in a hurry...... It's better to return to the army and discuss the attack strategy in the future, what do you think? ”
"I don't need to!" Yuan Shang sneered, threw the dust on his body, stood up, and said with a smile: "Tonight's attack on Cao Hong and Yu Ban's camp, this battle must be fought, but the original pure sneak attack plan must be appropriately changed...... Hey, hey, hey. ”
Yuan Shang's three-word laughter burst out, which immediately caused everyone to tremble, especially Zhang Jaw and Zhao Yun Erjun, because these two people really know Yuan Shang too well, this son looks like a humble gentleman on the surface, but in his bones he is actually a cunning like a loach, treacherous like a fox, used to having good things I come, there are bad things you are the lord, and it is not his character at all, the situation is special tonight, but he still does not retreat, Zhao Yun and Zhang Jaw have been sure, this guy must have some kind of fancy eyes in his heart.
But seeing Yuan Shang raise his hand slightly, he hooked his fingers at Zhang Jaw and Zhao Yun, and beckoned the second general to his side, and his sinister eyes swept back and forth on the faces of the two, and whoever he swept was a shudder.
"Lord, what do you want to do?" Zhang Jaw didn't have any confidence, but just asked Yuan Shang out of symbolism.
Yuan Shang smiled and turned his head sideways, muttering something softly in the ears of Zhang Jaw and Zhao Yun, which immediately stunned the second general.
The two of you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, Zhao Yun said with some hesitation: "Isn't this too sorry for General Han, it's not authentic." ”
Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Isn't it authentic? General Han is busy with military affairs and can't catch up, let's help him lead the enemy over, I think he should thank us! ”
“…………”
"Don't talk nonsense, you two should go your separate ways immediately, don't remember what I just said, don't make any mistakes!"
"No......!"
"Let's go, go to the Cao Army's forward battalion! Meeting with Cao Hong and Yu Ban...... It's all old friends! ”
The Cao army striker battalion.
Although Cao's army was relatively tightly distributed in the camp, it was also a weekly reincarnation duty policy, and the soldiers and generals were also human beings, so they naturally had to sleep.
At this moment, Cao Hong was holding his sword, lying on the bed in the camp with his head covered, and suddenly, an earth-shattering sound of drums and gongs and shouts came into his ears along the night sky.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
Cao Hong, who was sleeping in a dream, was suddenly startled, and a carp rolled off the bed, staring at the tent and muttering to himself.
"Didn't someone sneak attack!? Meet the enemy! Meet the enemy with me! ”
Although Cao Hong's temper burst, he was also a fierce general who had followed Cao Cao in the southern and northern wars for many years, and he was immediately calm, in fact, he hurriedly put on scale armor, carried a war knife, strode out of the tent, and shouted at the soldiers who were running back and forth in the camp: "Brothers, calm down for the general!" Each of them held his position and prepared to meet the enemy...... Where is the horse, take the horse of the general! ”
Hurriedly organized the gathering of soldiers and horses, Cao Hong took the lead and led the soldiers to the gate of the camp, but he happened to see that Yu Ban had already arrived here with the troops, and then said: "Don't panic, Cao Hong is here!" ”
After that, he picked up his knife and rode his horse, and galloped to Yu Ban's side first, and said loudly at the sporadic ignition that flashed under the dark night sky in the same place: "Wen Ze! Where is the Yuan army who stole the camp? ”
Yu Ban stood on horseback, looked at the situation in the same place, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I also only saw a little scattered stragglers, they were just right to beat drums and noise in the original place of our camp, putting on an attacking posture, but they did not attack, and as soon as I led the troops out, they did not even fight, and then retreated, and there was not even a ghost shadow left.........
Cao Hong was stunned when he heard this, and said: "I don't fight, I will retreat as soon as I shout, this is also a stealing camp?" What kind of trick is Yuan Jun doing! ”
Yu Ban shook his head and said: "Yuan Shang is a scheming person, he is really the lifelong rival of Lord Sikong, his thoughts are really difficult to fathom, just you and I just need to obey Sikong's orders, stick to the camp and wait for most of the people to come, regardless of other ...... Let's go back! ”
The second general led the troops back to the camp full of doubts, talked heart-to-heart, drank two sips of water and arranged for the vigil work of the officers and men of each department, and then went back to their tents and went to sleep.
After a moment and three, Cao Hong's eyelids slowly became heavy, and he slowly entered the dream, and after a short time of sleeping, he suddenly heard a sharp and noisy shouting and the sound of drums and horns in the distance outside the camp.
"Knock knock!"
"Woooooooooooo
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Cao Hong's eyes widened, and suddenly he was excited, and hurriedly got up from the bed, holding his armor and war knife, and ran towards the camp again.
"Isn't it Yuan Jun stealing the camp again? Meet the enemy! Meet the enemy! Hey...... Why do I need this word? ”
