Matthew really underestimated Cao Peng!

Cao Peng can get Cao Cao's attention, how can he be an idle person?

According to Ma Xiu's plan, he was going to steal the camp and rob the village when Cao Peng's soldiers crossed Luoshui, but who would have thought that Cao Peng would be aware of Ma Xiu's hiding early. So, Cao Peng pretended to camp in Luoshui and led Ma Xiu to attack, and ambushed the troops and defeated Ma Xiu's troops in one fell swoop.

And Matthew was shot by Cao Peng in the chaos!

No wonder Matthew was so careless...... Since Ma Teng's death, he has followed Ma Chao smoothly and has not encountered any setbacks. So much so that this Matthew also became impetuous, except for a few people, he didn't pay attention to it, so he had this murderous disaster.

When Lu Yu learned the news, he immediately reacted.

On the one hand, he ordered Ma Dai to strictly guard the county, and on the other hand, he sent people to Leling for help.

The next day, Cao Peng's troops approached the county and immediately launched a fierce offensive. At the same time, Gao Tang, where Ma Chao was located, was also attacked by Xu Xi and Mao Hui, and could not be rescued at all. This Mao Hui Xu Xi is Cao Cao's old general. When Cao Cao killed Bian Rang, he caused the Yanzhou Mutiny, and Mao Hui and Xu Xi both rebelled against Cao Cao. Later, when the Yanzhou Rebellion was pacified, Xu Xi and Mao Hui fled to Zang Ba's place.

When Guo Jia lobbied Zang Ba to surrender, Cao Cao once said that he hoped that Zang Ba could sacrifice Xu Yi and Mao Hui as the first rank.

But Zang Ba said to Guo Jia: The reason why I can stand on my own side is because I won't do this kind of thing. Now that Cao Gong values me, I shouldn't have disobeyed his orders. It's just that if I do this kind of thing, will Cao Gong really be able to look up to me? I have heard that a monarch who is good for the way of the king should tell the righteous and not coerce others to do what they do not want to do.

Guo Jia later told Cao Cao about this matter, and Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh: This is the benevolence of the ancients, and Zang Xuangao can practice it, which really makes me admire.

As a result, Cao Cao not only forgave Xu Xi and Mao Hui, but also appointed them as the prime minister of Jibei and Jinan after Zang Ba surrendered......

It is precisely because of this relationship that when Xu Xi and Mao Hui learned the news that Zang Ba was trapped, they didn't even wait for Manzhong's order to send troops to rescue. Ma Chao is not afraid of these two people, but in the face of opponents who are several times his size, he also has to spend some tricks.

Ma Chao couldn't pull out, and Cao Peng came to the city again.

When the news reached Leling, Xu You was also taken aback.

Originally, according to his ideas, Ma Dai and Ma Xiu were stubbornly defending the county, and they would definitely be able to hold out until Liu Chuang broke through the plain. Who would have thought that Ma Xiu would actually make his own assertions, and Ma Dai was unable to persuade Ma Xiu, which also caused the loss of troops to be reduced and his strength greatly reduced. What's more, Xu You didn't expect Cao Peng to be in Qingzhou.

Xu You knows Cao Peng and knows Cao Peng's talents.

He knew very well that if he relied solely on Ma Dai and Lu Yu, he would probably be difficult to resist Cao Peng's onslaught.

But now he has no one else to use, and in the face of a tiger and wolf general like Cao Peng, a general must come out to resist.

The only way is to immediately notify Liu Chuang and transfer Tai Shi Ci to the battle.

Just as Xu You was about to send someone to the plain, a loud voice came from outside the door: "Military advisor, I heard that the county is in danger?" Why don't you let me go and fight that Cao Peng...... I think I had a relationship with this person when I was in Guanjin, and I knew him quite well. ”

Xu You looked up and was immediately overjoyed.

"Zhongkang, you've come just in time!"

The person who came was Xu Chu.

Speaking of which, Xu Chu is also quite unlucky.

originally planned to compete with Ma Chao to capture the first merit of Gaotang, but was stopped by Liu Chuang. And Liu Chuang planned to let him be a pioneer and attack Zang Ba, who would have thought that this guy would be infected with a cold and seriously ill because of his naked war horse. finally got well, so he hurried to Leling. At this time, Liu Chuang had already trapped Zang Ba in the plains, and he was about to finish. At this time, Xu Chu will go over again, and it is estimated that it will be the end...... Therefore, Xu Chu was depressed, so he packed his bags and prepared to set off for the plains.

Who would have thought that at this time, something happened in the county.

Xu Chu suddenly came to his senses and hurried to the mansion......

This guy is a suitable person!

Don't look at Xu Chu's babbling on weekdays, he looks like a second-class product. But Xu You knew that Xu Chu was thick and fine, otherwise Liu Chuang would not let him lead the army alone. With Xu Chu going to the county, coupled with the cooperation of Ma Dai and Lu Yu, he thought he would be able to resist Cao Peng.

The most important thing is that this guy is in Leling, and he can send troops immediately.

At the moment, Xu You was not verbose, and pulled Xu Chu and said: "Zhongkang, now that the county is in danger, I want you to arrive in the county within two days, can you do it?" ”

When Xu Chu heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.

"Don't worry about the military division, I'll set off now, and the troops will be in the county within two days."

"However, I can't give you too many soldiers and horses now, only 3,000 men, is it enough?"

"Three thousand, that's enough!"

Xu Chu immediately received the general's order, immediately ordered the soldiers and horses, and killed the county. Xu You was still not at ease, and sent someone to the plain to inform Liu Chuang.

At this time, Liu Chuang's siege of the plain became more and more urgent, and Zang Ba was obviously a little unable to resist.

If it weren't for the strong walls of the plain, Liu Chuang would have broken the city long ago...... Knowing that Cao Peng was coming, Liu Chuang was also taken aback.

"It's also appropriate for Zhong Kang to go to the county.

It's just that Cao Peng is scheming, so he can't be guarded against...... Ziyi, I will lead the troops and horses of my headquarters with you and immediately set up troops to go to West Pyeongchang. When you get to West Pyeongchang, you don't have to cross the river, you just need to set up a position by the river, create momentum, and put pressure on Cao Peng......"

"The Plains ......"

Liu Chuang smiled, "Ziyi, rest assured, within three days, I will break the plain." ”

Tai Shi Ci took the order and went straight to West Pyeongchang.

Liu Chuang, on the other hand, ordered a suspension of the attack on the plains......

He stopped attacking, but Zang Ba suddenly became nervous.

If Liu Chuang continues to attack, it will be easier for Zang Ba. Because the more fierce Liu Chuang attacked, the more it means that reinforcements have arrived. But now that Liu Chuang has stopped attacking, can it be said that the reinforcements have been defeated? Or maybe Liu Chuang has other tricks?

He ascended to the top of the city and looked out of it.

From a distance, the Han army camp stretched for more than ten miles, waving flags and swords.

"Gongzhi, why do you think the thief suddenly stopped attacking?"

At this time, Zang Ba had already regarded Yin Li as a think tank, and couldn't help but ask.

Yin Li's face was not particularly good-looking, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "There must be something strange when the thief suddenly stops attacking."

We are now trapped on the plains, almost cut off from the outside world. I don't know if the Manchu Shi side has sent reinforcements and how it is going.

Now the thieves stopped attacking for only two reasons.

Either our reinforcements are repulsed, or he has another trick...... Don't be careful. ”

"Isn't it because he can't afford to do it?"

Sun Guan couldn't help but speak, but he didn't want to attract Zang Ba's contemptuous gaze.

Yin Li smiled bitterly: "How can it be that there is no strength in the future?" Didn't you notice that the number of thieves in the camp had increased a lot compared to the previous two days? I reckon that his follow-up reinforcements must have arrived. In this case, how could he be unable to do so? ”

"Then you say, what tricks will he have?"

Sun Guan's face showed disbelief.

Yin Li, on the other hand, frowned and pondered, his eyes swept over the already dilapidated city wall under him, and his heart suddenly moved, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Do you remember that the general still had a rumor that the thief could call the wind and rain and attract thunder?"

Zang Ba was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses.

He didn't really believe in any 'demon law', but he believed that Liu Chuang must have an unknown weapon in his hand. Previously, Jia Xu and Cao Peng returned from Liaodong and crossed Taiyuan in a hurry, and accidentally mentioned the name of 'Tianlei Huo'. At that time, Zang Ba didn't take it to heart, but now that I think about it, it was not Jia Xu that they went to Liaodong this time and found the secret of Tianleihuo......

If this is the case, wouldn't Liu Chuang have heavenly thunder and fire in his hands.

The thunder fire that day is likely to be the 'heavenly thunder' rumored by the outside world!

Thinking of this, Zang Ba's heart suddenly changed, and his mind immediately changed.

"If the thief uses the demon method, I am afraid that this plain county will be difficult to resist."

Sun Guan was also taken aback, nodded again and again, and expressed his approval. He had heard about it before, and although he didn't believe it, he would inevitably feel apprehensive in his heart.

"What then?"

Yin Li ignored Sun Guan and turned his gaze to Zang Ba.

"General, if this is the case, the plain will not be broken by thieves until tomorrow.

At that time, the sons will be demoralized, and they will no longer have the confidence to fight him. When the thieves attacked Handan before, they used this demon method. At that time, thousands of soldiers and horses in the entire Handan were defeated at once, and it was impossible to form an effective resistance at all.

If ......"

Yin Li looked at Zang Ba and saw that Zang Ba was also pondering.

Seeing him shut up, Zang Ba frowned, "Gongzhi, you go on." ”

"If that thief also uses demon magic in the plains, we will only have a dead end...... Now the plan, while he has not yet used the demon method, forcibly break through after dark and kill out of the plain. Although the thieves and horses have the advantage, I don't think they are enough to trap the plains to death. In the past two days, I have carefully observed, and found that although the attack of the thieves was fierce, in comparison, the attack in the west of the city was far less ferocious than in the other three places. I estimate that the thieves must have insufficient troops in the west of the city...... After dark, we can break through from the west of the city, and then march west along the big river and cross the river from the north. Chibei is where Jibei is located, and I remember that Mao Hui, the prime minister of Jibei, was once blessed by the general's life, so he could not be taken in.

As long as we get to Jibei, we can regroup.

However, from this westward to Jibei, I'm afraid it's not easy to go, and you have to prepare early. ”

After speaking, Yin Li looked at Zang Ba......

In his mind, Zang Ba would definitely approve of his idea. Unexpectedly, after Zang Ba pondered for a while, he suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "The fair and upright strategy is clever, and it is indeed the best choice." ”

When he said this, he paused and said softly: "It's just that you can break through, but I can't leave!" ”
