Cao Cao's words are good, but not easy to understand! For the first time, Wang Xu felt that his brain was a little unable to keep up, and he turned his head to look at Liu Bei, who was also unclear and embarrassed to ask, and he couldn't count on it. I could only ask cheekily: "Mengde, what do you mean by this?" All I know is that for those who are cautious and have a lot of concerns, they should attack with the power of thunder, so that they will hesitate and make the wrong layout. But at this moment, the other party is holding on, and we are in a weak position, and its prudence and thoroughness will only increase the difficulty of our attack, and I really don't know the secret. ”

"Huh!" Seeing that Wang Xu was also quite puzzled, Cao Cao's face couldn't help but show a little triumph. After squeezing his jaw and clearing his beard, he said unhurriedly: "To deal with people who have a lot of worries and desire to cover everything, in fact, you can still use soldiers to suspect them. As long as they have doubts in their hearts, they will take the initiative to make temptations or deployment changes because of their desire to be thoughtful. When the time comes, the crisis can be broken. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu thought about it for a while, and quickly understood. I have a little admiration for Cao Cao in my heart, and I really deserve to be a generation of masters in the art of war, and it does have its uniqueness.

Seeing that the other party looked calm, stroked his beard and smiled, knowing that he had made up his mind, he laughed loudly: "Meng De, don't tease me and Xuande, let's tell what you have in mind!" Let's deliberate and see if there are any gaps that need to be filled. ”

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao suddenly laughed heartily, and seeing that Wang Xu and Liu Bei were extremely urgent, he nodded, put away his smile and said: "But there is a plan, but it is quite difficult to implement, and the days are relatively long." ”

"I'm not afraid of twists and turns." Liu Bei couldn't help but speak, and said with a slight smile: "As long as you can break the enemy and win, why not?" Bei is willing to listen to Mengde's dispatch. ”

After receiving the promise, Cao Cao did not hesitate any longer, his face instantly became stern, and he stretched out his hand to gesture on the table. "Look, this is our army camp, and this is Xu Rong's camp. Two miles away is the Bishui River, on which there is a stone arch bridge, which is its passage to the rear. ”

"Oh? Could it be that Meng De had the idea of this stone arch bridge? Wang Xu suddenly wondered.

"It's not!" Cao Cao shook his head affirmatively. "I've thought about it too. But if the army goes around to the back of Xu Rong's camp. On the verge of water, then Xu Rong is bound to attack wildly, and then we won't fight against the water? If we don't have the conditions for fighting to the death now, we will definitely be defeated. ”

In fact, this is exactly what Wang Xu was worried about, seeing that Cao Cao had already been counted, he immediately stopped speaking and quietly listened to Cao Cao continue.

"Still. In fact, as far as the sentinel I sent to investigate, more than ten miles to the south, there is actually a wooden beam bridge in the upper reaches of the Bishui River. Speaking of this, Cao Cao looked at Wang Xu and Liu Bei, pondered for a moment, and then decisively continued: "Xu Rong should also know about this matter." Therefore, according to my plan, I ordered my general Xiahou Yuan to lead 3,000 soldiers to the south tonight, but there were many trees and banners, pretending that there were 10,000 soldiers who wanted to smuggle in, so as to attract Xu Rong's attention. With Xu Rong's calmness, it is inevitable to divide soldiers to go south from the west bank of the Bishui River and garrison the west bank of the Muliang Bridge to block it. And he has a lot of soldiers. And cautious. I will also take the opportunity to send troops and horses to test my battalion to see if more than 10,000 people have really been sent. By deciding whether to surprise or not. ”

"Huh! Shall we eat the centaur who was sent out to tempt at this time? Wang Xu took over with a smile.

"Yes, we set up an ambush and when they come to rob the camp, we will defeat them in one fell swoop." Cao Cao nodded.

However, Liu Bei was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but ask out loud: "But such a big move is only to defeat a small number of soldiers and horses, and it is not of great use to the battle situation!" ”

"Hahaha!" Hearing Liu Bei's words, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, shook his head again and again, and said: "Of course it won't be so simple, this is just a suspicious soldier, after this battle, Xu Rong is bound to be more cautious." If you trim for two days and repeat this plan, what should Xu Rong do? ”

Facing Cao Caoruo's meaningful smile, Liu Bei was stunned, but quickly replied: "Repeating it is extremely foolish." With Xu Rong's talent, he definitely didn't believe that we would perform this little trick again, but thought that he was using the first time to deceive him, and he had really sent 10,000 troops. ”

"Not bad." Cao Cao smiled and nodded. "It's a pity, with Xu Rong's prudence, he shouldn't send any more troops to test us, but only increase the troops sent to the Muliang Bridge in the south."

"So what do we do next?" Liu Bei obviously didn't understand it very well.

"Do it again!" Cao Cao cut the nail and carried the iron tunnel.

"Again?" Hearing this, Wang Xu was already thoughtful, and after contemplating for a long time, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he laughed and said: "This third time is really sending troops, and it is not through the Guò Wooden Beam Bridge?" ”

"Haha! Yes, too. Seeing that Wang Xu had already said it, Cao Cao no longer detoured, and said bluntly: "The first time this plan was used, Xu Rong's front was ambushed, and with his temperament, he didn't dare to attack rashly." The second time this plan was implemented, I personally led 10,000 main forces with Xuande, and when Xiahou Yuan attracted Xu Rong's attention, we continued to go upstream to the Bishui River, flowing water across the river at the source of the mountain, day and night. When this plan is implemented for the third time, Xu Rong's cautious character will inevitably be full of doubts and dilemmas. At this time, Xiahou Yuan led 3,000 men and horses to cross the Muliang Bridge to attack, while Xuande and I fought from the rear. ”

"After the defeat of the defenders of Muliangqiao, the defeated soldiers will report this matter to Xu Rong, who will be alarmed when they find out the plan, and make sure that there are not many soldiers and horses in our battalion. But in fact, at this time, I only led 3,000 men and horses to pursue, but under the banner of more than 10,000 people. And let Xuande lead the rest of the soldiers to cross the river from Muliang Bridge again and rush back to the camp. ”

Saying that, Cao Cao already looked like he was winning, and calmly continued: "At that time, Xu Rong was already panicked, and thought that my main force was behind him, and he wanted to rob him of his way back and cut off his food route, but there were not many soldiers and horses in our battalion. Therefore, he will lead a large army against me. At that time, Ziyang and Xuande led the real army to raid his camp and take it in one fell swoop. At this point, you're done! Hahaha......"

With Cao Cao's laughter, Wang Xu and Liu Bei glanced at each other, and they were also overjoyed, and laughed.

It's just that while Wang Xu was laughing, a strong fear also rose in his heart, Cao Cao was too terrible! This calculation, grasping Xu Rong's cautious character, three clever tricks, two crossings of the water, chaotic enemy hearing and hearing, covering each other, false and real, true and false, using soldiers is like divine help! The name of a military strategist is truly worthy of its name......

However, the current goal is to defeat Xu Rong, and we still have to work together.

That night, Cao Cao's general Xiahou Yuan led 3,000 elite cavalry. Under the banner of 10,000 people. Rush to the wooden girder bridge. Xu Rong was startled when he was reported by the spies, even if he sent 5,000 troops to the west bank of Muliang Bridge to station, Xiahou Yuan was indeed a general, although he didn't know the specific plan, but he also vaguely guessed that he was a suspicious soldier, so he pretended to be secret and appropriately discovered by the other party. Shun lì achieved Cao Cao's purpose.

Xu Rong was cautious and flexible, guessing that Xiahou Yuan might be fake, but he was unwilling to give up a great opportunity, so as expected, he sent three thousand cavalry to attack the camp at night, and at the same time gathered a large army, if there was a chance. Just take advantage of the situation and attack.

But how could Wang Xu and the others, who had been prepared a long time ago, give him a chance, three thousand light horsemen had just rushed into the gate, and in an instant, flames broke out, and the drums shook the sky. Wang Xu, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei led their troops to kill them on three sides, and within a moment, they had already lost their armor and fled in all directions. He is the first general, and his name is unknown. Ben wanted to organize the retreat of the soldiers. was seen by Zhang Liao, who was eager for meritorious service, and rushed all the way away. "Boom" cut off his head with two knives.

The front army was defeated, surrounded and strangled, Xu Rong did not know the enemy's situation, and at this moment it was at night, worried about being ambushed again, and did not dare to go out of the camp to rescue, as a result, three thousand light horsemen, only less than a thousand people were withdrawn.

After this battle, although the morale of the army was greatly shaken, it died down and fell silent for three days, and Xu Rong did not move. However, the generals who were eager to make meritorious contributions in the army were very puzzled, and they asked questions, but they could not get any results. Wang Xu and Cao Cao and Liu Bei were both silent and did not give any explanation.

It wasn't until the night of the third day that Xiahou Yuan suddenly received an order to repeat the previous day's plan. Although he had doubts in his heart, as a good general, he still knew that he would faithfully carry out his orders. Again imitate what was done the day before yesterday. At the same time, Liu Bei and Cao Cao personally led more than 10,000 main forces, mixed in Xiahou Yuan's army, and followed south. Only Wang Xu led thousands of soldiers and horses to stay in the camp.

Although it had been concluded that Xu Rong did not dare to fight, Wang Xu still stayed up all night, gathering soldiers and quietly waiting to deal with possible changes.

Fortunately, the change did not appear after all, and when the dawn light pierced the silent night sky, Wang Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the soldiers to go back to their headquarters to rest. Soon, Xiahou Yuan also rushed back with 3,000 people, and after returning to Wang Xu, he went back to the camp to rest. And Xu Rong was also calculated, not only worried that Wang Xu really wanted to attack the wooden beam bridge, but also worried that he would be ambushed again like the day before yesterday, so he could only take cautious remedial measures and send an additional 5,000 soldiers to the wooden beam bridge again.

After another three days, Xiahou Yuan, an unlucky bastard, was ordered by Wang Xu again to repeat the previous two plans.

When he first received the order, his face was really bitter. But now Wang Xu is the coach, and Cao Cao also instructed him before leaving, telling him to obey Wang Xu's dispatch. Although he felt aggrieved, he could only nod helplessly. Fortunately, Wang Xu didn't want to tease him anymore, and said at the end: Remember, when you arrive at the Muliang Bridge, you must let the soldiers rest in place for half an hour, and then launch a strong attack!

As soon as these words came out, Xiahou Yuan's eyes widened with excitement in an instant, and he hurriedly thanked him and happily gathered his soldiers.

That night, Xiahou Yuan once again led 3,000 light horsemen to the Muliang Bridge, inspected the terrain, and quickly made a temporary arrangement. After resting for half an hour, according to Wang Xu's orders, he suddenly reversed the situation twice and launched a strong attack on Xu Rong's soldiers and horses on the other side of the river.

And the person in charge of garrisoning this place was also Dong Zhuo's general Li Meng, who saw Xiahou Yuan's strong attack and hurriedly formed a formation to meet the enemy. After a confrontational suppression, the two armies fought each other in a short battle and launched a fierce battle at the bridgehead.

Xiahou Yuan, who was holding back his anger, was even more brave and abnormal, taking the lead, wielding and slashing with a long-handled broadsword in his hand, covered in blood. Li Meng and Xiahou Yuan engaged in several battles, knowing that they were invincible, they immediately took advantage of the chaos to flee, did not dare to fight with them again, and instead retreated to the rear to command the army to resist.

No matter how brave Xiahou Yuan is, it is impossible to fight him when the other party occupies favorable terrain and has many soldiers.

Just when Xiahou Yuan was a little anxious, he heard a sudden voice from behind Li Meng's army, "Bang!" Boom! Two drums sounded, and then shouted to kill the heavens, and the dense sergeants charged from two directions, in this dark night, as if countless killing gods were pouring out, and Li Meng and his soldiers were scared half to death in an instant.

"What's going on? How come there are enemy troops behind? ”

"Mom! It must have been the big camp that was breached! ”

"That's a lot of people! Surrounded on three sides, brethren, run......"

As the soldiers of the Dong army roared in horror and fell into chaos, Xiahou Yuan's side suddenly became a shock, and all the soldiers of the army rushed to kill.

When Cao Cao and Liu Bei also brought in with a strong army, cutting melons and cutting vegetables to put down one piece after another of the soldiers, Li Meng and the soldiers under his tent in the panic had no heart to resist, but they were defeated and fled in a moment!

And taking advantage of the night at this moment, and the chaotic opportunity of Dong Jun, Liu Bei took most of the people and quietly crossed back along the Muliang Bridge to the east bank of the Bishui River, leaving only Cao Cao with 3,000 men and horses to pursue, and even Xiahou Yuan, who was fighting hard, was repelled by Cao Cao, and inexplicably followed Liu Bei back to the camp.

At the same time, receiving the news of Li Meng's defeat, Xu Rong was shocked. Knowing that Cao Cao had led the main army to go around behind him, he was worried that he would gain a foothold and attack the grain and grass garrison in the rear, so he did not dare to hesitate, leaving only 5,000 people to stay, and he took the main army to meet Li Meng and was forced to fight a decisive battle.

At this moment, it was late at night, and the sight was already not good, coupled with the chaos on the battlefield, Cao Cao was under the banner of more than 10,000 people, and Xu Rong couldn't tell anything. By the time his rescue arrived, Cao Cao had already found a high ground, defended it according to the danger, and no longer attacked.

The two armies fought for a long time, but Xu Rong, who was in command in the deep rear, felt more and more uncomfortable.

Wang Fang on the side also felt this way, couldn't help the doubts in his heart, and said strangely: "What's the matter?" Why didn't Cao Mengde open a military formation to confront me, but instead retreated on the slope. There are only a few hundred people in the battle, Li Meng! Didn't you say that there were at least fifteen thousand or more? ”

At this moment, Li Meng's armor was tattered, his helmet had fallen off, and his face was covered with blood and mud. Hearing Wang Fang's inquiry, his head immediately snapped: "That's right, at that time, there were about 3,000 people in Xiahou Yuan's department, and there were countless troops killed in the rear, but judging from experience, there were at least more than 10,000 people, who should be the main force of the enemy." How could I have been so defeated? (To be continued, if you want to know what happens, please log on to http://www.biquge.info.)
