Chapter 226: The Wancheng Incident
The next night, the army led by Tian Fan set up camp! This place is less than 100 miles away from Huailing, and it will be there tomorrow. According to the news sent back by Lu Bu, at this time, Qiao Rui set up camp less than ten miles away from Huailing, ready to attack the city at any time.
Lu Bu launched a tentative attack on Qiao Rui and wiped out a thousand cavalry of Qiao Rui, but Qiao Rui's infantry array was very solemn, and the attack twice had no effect, so Lu Bu did not attack again! He sent a message and asked Tian Fan to arrive as soon as possible!
Seeing this, Tian Fan breathed a sigh of relief! Fortunately, Lu Bu was not reckless!
At night, when he was sleeping, Shi Ah entered the big tent!
Tian Fan was awakened, touched his face, and asked in a daze, "Shi'a, what's the matter?" ”
Shi A handed him the wax-sealed bamboo tube in his hand and said, "Boguang, this is a six-hundred-mile urgent letter sent by Cao Yuanji, take a look!" ”
Tian Fan's mind suddenly cleared up! He immediately got up, washed his face with clean water, woke up, and then took the bamboo tube! After checking that the wax seal on it had not been tampered with, he took out the letter inside.
When I opened the letter and looked at it, his mouth immediately opened wide and could no longer be closed!
Shi A saw that he looked sluggish, as if he was thundered by some incredible shocking news, and he couldn't help but be curious about the content of the letter, he smashed his mouth, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Boguang, what did you see?" ”
Tian Fan raised his eyes to look at him, and Shi A hurriedly said: "If it's inconvenient to say, then forget it!" ”
Tian Fan shook his head and said with a strange expression: "Oh, it's not inconvenient, I'm just ......" handed the silk to Shi A, and said, "Take a look for yourself!" ”
Shi A took it and read it at a glance, with an incredible expression on his face, which complemented Tian Fan's expression! He looked at Tian Fan and asked in surprise, "Is this ...... How is this possible? ”
Tian Fan had already put away that strange expression, and when he heard this, he shook his head and said, "Nothing is impossible!" Hehe, now Cao Heizi is embarrassed! ”
The content of the letter is: Zhang Xiu surrendered and rebelled, Cao Cao was defeated carelessly, and his nephew Cao Anmin died!
The reason why Shi A felt incredible was because he couldn't imagine that Cao Cao would be defeated so quickly, and in this way! And Tian Fan, it's because this incident is different from history! In history, Cao Cao attacked Wancheng for the first time, his son Cao Ang, the general Dian Wei, and his nephew Cao Anmin were killed in battle, and Cao's army was defeated, but now, only Cao Anmin died! I don't know, is the current result related to me? He remembered that he had reminded Cao Ang and asked him to persuade Cao Cao not to look for women in the barracks, and not to rush to win over the soldiers in the army who had just surrendered! Also, he also advised Dian Wei not to drink excessively!
At this point, he couldn't tell what it was like to feel in his heart!
On the same day, Cao Cao immediately ordered a truce after storming Suiyang in the first three days. For several days in a row, he took Guo Jia and a few other strategists to circle around the city wall, trying to find the shortcomings of the city defense and prepare for a key attack. But facts have proved that after more than a year of operation by Zang Ba, Suiyang really has no major defects in the city defense.
Cao Cao was distressed! One day, Guo Jia came to visit late at night and muttered a few words in his ear, so he had a new idea! For more than ten days after that, he still led people to inspect the city, making it look like he was attacking the city at any time.
One day at the end of November, that is, the day Tian Fan set off from Juxian and returned to Xiapi, Cao Cao took Xiahou Yuan, Dian Wei and other generals, with Xiahou Yuan's account of 8,000 soldiers, and the most capable 7,000 soldiers drawn from various armies, a total of 15,000 soldiers, out of the camp under the cover of late night!
In the camp, Cao Cao's banner was still hung high, and a soldier who looked like Cao Cao's imagination was dressed up as Cao Cao's appearance, and accompanied by several generals and strategists who stayed behind, he still circled around Suiyang every day. Therefore, Liu Bei and the others did not see anything abnormal! …,
Immediately after, Cao Cao's army quickly advanced, and in less than four days, it broke through for more than 600 miles and rushed to Nanyang Wancheng!
Zhang Xiu, who was caught off guard, had no time to resist, and had already been attacked into the city by Cao's army, and he had no choice but to surrender!
Cao Cao is happy! After appeasing Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu, Cao Cao took Xiahou Yuan, Dian Wei, Cao Anmin and others back to the big tent outside the city! Cao Ang, on the other hand, stayed in Zhang Xiu's camp to appease the soldiers who had just surrendered.
In the middle of the night, Cao Cao couldn't sleep, so he didn't spend a single soldier to take Wancheng and surrender Zhang Xiu, who was known as the king of guns in the north, how could he not be excited? Beckon to recruit a primary school and let him go to Cao Anmin!
After Cao Anmin arrived, Cao Cao blushed a little, snorted for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "Is there a prostitute here?" ”
Cao Anmin's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly whispered in Cao Cao's ear: "The little nephew knows a woman who looks strangely beautiful, and the key is that she exudes a charming temperament!" ”
When Lao Cao heard this, he suddenly breathed a little heavily, and immediately asked Cao Anmin to find him!
That woman is the Zou family, Zhang Ji's concubine, and Zhang Xiu's widowed aunt!
Zou is also a woman from a good family, but no matter what, she is only a weak woman, as soon as her husband Zhang Ji died, her future life became unstable, and now Cao Cao is interested in her, what can she do if she wants to be a weak woman? In the end, Cao Cao vented all his excitement on her!
The next day, Lao Cao got up and felt refreshed! I haven't been close to a woman for more than a month, and this time, I am finally comfortable!
When he took the generals to inspect Zhang Xiu's army, he met a man who was nine feet tall and had a strong face, it was Hu Che'er, Cao Cao saw it, and loved it very much, so he rewarded him with silk and satin cloth money!
Speaking of Zhang Xiu, he already knew that Zou was accepted by Lao Cao, and he was angry in his heart, and when he saw Lao Cao pulling Hu Che'er, he was immediately angry!
That night, he found Jia Xu and Hu Che'er and discussed for a long time!
On the evening of the third day, Cao Ang came back to appease Zhang Xiu's soldiers, and after hearing that Cao Cao had accepted the Zou family, he immediately remembered Tian Fan's instructions to him! He couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart!
He immediately rushed to Cao Cao's big tent to persuade him!
But at that time, Cao Cao had already slept with Zou in his arms! The soldiers guarding the gate had already received Cao Cao's order not to let anyone in! Cao Ang said angrily: "I'm Cao Ang! It's the Father's son, why don't you let me in? ”
The schoolmaster clenched his fists and saluted respectfully, but his attitude did not change in the slightest! Said politely: "Childe, please don't embarrass us!" The lord is strict in governing the army, if we don't respect the general's order, I'm afraid there will be trouble! ”
In the past two days, Cao Cao has been deeply trapped in the gentle township, and the gentleness of the Zou family like water has completely confused him! In fact, when Cao Ang shouted, he was sober! However, at this time, he and Zou were naked, and he couldn't help but see embarrassment, so he could only keep silent and pretend to be asleep!
Cao Ang went away worriedly, and returned angrily, as you can imagine if he was in a bad mood! When he arrived at his big tent, he was restless, and he went around in circles in the big tent for a full quarter of an hour, and he didn't stop!
Thinking of Tian Fan's words, he was really uneasy in his heart! Tian Fan's words seemed unreasonable, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that that sentence was referring to this moment! Persuade your father not to let him look for women in the barracks, and don't rush to win over other people's generals!
Yesterday, he watched his father win over Hu Che'er, and today, he knows that his father has found a woman, and he is still Zhang Xiu's aunt! This condition is too similar to what Tian Fan said!
Tian Fan said that there was going to be a locust plague, and the locust plague really happened, so at this time, what would happen?
Cao Ang slammed his hands, gritted his teeth, and rushed out of the big tent! Cao Cao was very suspicious, although he regarded Cao Ang as his successor, taking him with him at any time and training him at any time, he was not allowed to talk more, especially not allowed to have more contact with military power! Therefore, although Cao Ang's status is respected, he does not have the right to transfer troops! …,
Cao Ang knew that what he was going to do this time was dangerous, and it might arouse his father's vigilance, but at this time, he couldn't care about anything!
He got out of the big tent and went straight to Xiahou Yuan's big tent! In this Cao Cao raid, he only brought two generals, one was Xiahou Yuan and the other was Dian Wei! Xiahou Yuan commanded all the armies except the Tiger Ben Army, so as long as you find him and convince him, everything will be easy!
Although it was very strange for Xiahou Yuan to rush to Cao Ang's request, after thinking about it, it was not a big deal to be careful! Therefore, I listened to him, and asked the soldiers not to disarm when they rested, and took shifts, half of the first half of the night, and half of the second half of the night!
Cao Ang was finally relieved! He bowed deeply to Xiahou Yuan and said, "Uncle, if something really happens here, you are the great benefactor of my Cao family!" ”
Xiahou Yuan's mind couldn't turn, and until Cao Ang came out of the big tent, he still didn't come back to his senses! What is going to happen? Does Cao Ang have a fever?
Cao Ang left Xiahou Yuan and immediately found Dian Wei!
At this time, Na Dian Wei was holding a big wine jar, pouring himself a drink, and he was so happy! He was already a little drunk, his eyes were foggy, and the wine bowl in his hand was spilling wine out. Cao Ang called him softly, and Dian Wei raised his head suddenly, but Cao Ang was startled!
Glaring at Cao Ang in a daze, Dian Wei said with a big tongue: "Childe, the lord is looking for me?" ”
Cao Ang said: "No, hehe, General Dian, nothing happens at night, Ang can't sleep, so I want to talk to the general!" ”
Dian Wei was stunned for a long time before he understood what was going on! Think about Cao Ang is boring enough, in the middle of the night, he doesn't sleep, and he comes to chat with him? I can't stand that someone is a son, so let's talk!
So, the two started to talk about today's weather, the recent weather, the weather in the past few years, the grain production, the war, the soldiers, the strong men, the population, the ratio of men and women, and then discussed the difficult issue of how many women are good for a man to match at a deeper level! In the end, this meaningless discussion ended with Dian Wei falling asleep boredly and snoring as the earth shook the mountain!
Cao Ang took a breath and said for two hours, Dian Wei didn't drink anymore, and now his wine finally woke up!
At this point, it's already midnight! Cao Ang rubbed his numb legs, rubbed his heavy eyelids, and he reluctantly stood up and walked out of the big tent. Stomping his feet, he rolled up his sleeves and hurried to his tent with his head down!
Suddenly, there was a shout of killing from outside the camp! Cao Ang was taken aback, damn it, Tian Fan's words came true? He immediately turned around and came to Dian Wei's big tent and shouted: "General Dian, the enemy is attacking, there is an enemy attack!" ”
Dian Wei got up suddenly, chirped, scratched his hairy chest again, and muttered: "Childe, um, a man, um, deserve ...... A woman's good, huh,...... A woman! "As for how many women to match, he probably doesn't know how many he is talking about!
Suddenly, his eyes suddenly opened, he stood up suddenly, and shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, prepare to fight!" ”
The result of the war was still Cao Cao's defeat! Because the raid on Nanyang was too smooth, Zhang Xiu surrendered without even fighting, so Xiahou Yuan and Cao Cao unconsciously relaxed their vigilance, and their Dazhai was not built solidly!
Zhang Xiu's soldiers didn't have much effort, they opened the camp, and more than 10,000 troops were killed like dragons entering the sea!
Xiahou Yuan kept half of the soldiers awake, but on a cold day, who wouldn't want to sleep? Therefore, most of the soldiers on duty found a place to nest and get together to keep warm.
When Zhang Xiu's soldiers attacked, Xiahou Yuan and Dian Wei were already sober, they looked at the chaotic camp, made a decision, and immediately escorted Cao Cao to escape! Fortunately, the soldiers who went out in this battle were all fast, and they ran 600 miles in less than four days, which is not something that ordinary people can catch up with! After a panic, the soldiers immediately rushed up! Fifteen thousand soldiers, less than three thousand losses! …,
However, all the baggage is gone, although Cao Cao can fight, but without the baggage, he can't fight back, so he has to go home!
On the way back, more than 10,000 people were depressed and listless!
Cao Cao rode on his horse, looking at these soldiers, and couldn't help but feel hot on his face! Looking at Xiahou Yuan, whose face was blackened, he felt guilty in his heart, and said, "This failure is my fault!" Ladies and gentlemen, I will never make such a mistake again! ”
After a pause, he reluctantly smiled at Xiahou Yuan and said, "Miaocai, thanks to you this time, our strength has not suffered too much loss!" In turn, he was a little melancholy! Cao Anmin fooled around in Wancheng last night, he must have hung up now! Thinking of this intimate nephew, Cao Cao felt a little reluctant! And the Zou family, I don't know if they survived in the chaos?
Xiahou Yuan clenched his fists a little ashamedly, and said, "Lord, this time thanks to Zixiu!" He was the one who reminded me to be careful! Hey, it's a pity, I didn't take it too seriously, most of the soldiers on duty at night were asleep, otherwise, we wouldn't necessarily fail! ”
Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang unexpectedly and asked, "Ang'er, is this true?" ”
Cao Ang whispered, "Father, actually...... Thanks to Mr. Tian! ”
Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan, and Dian Wei looked at him in surprise and asked, "Mr. Tian?" That Mr. Tian? ”
Cao Ang said: "Xuzhou, Tian Boguang!" ”
Cao Cao grabbed his hand and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Cao Ang said what Tian Fan said to him, and Cao Cao blushed for a while! But then, there was a big surprise!
His hands trembled involuntarily, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Is this true?" Isn't Boguang capable of predicting the future? ”
Cao Ang was speechless!
When Xiahou Yuan and Dian Wei heard this, they were also shocked!
Dian Wei remembered that Tian Fan had told him, don't drink in the army! At this time, a cold sweat suddenly broke out!
Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but wonder when he saw it, he knew Dian Wei's guts, and he asked, "Jun Ming, what's wrong with you?" ”
Dian Wei swallowed and spat, and hissed: "Mr. Tian once told me, don't drink in the army!" Glancing at Cao Ang, a cold air rushed up from his vest, and he said in a trembling voice: "If it weren't for last night, Gongzi was talking with me, I'm afraid I would definitely be drunk!" If that's the case, I'm afraid of ......"
For a while, the four of them only felt a chill in their backs, as if someone was thousands of miles away, looking at them with cold eyes! Couldn't help but look back at the four of them at the same time......
