CHAPTER XXII
On the battlefield, it is changing rapidly, Li Xuan naturally will not really go to remote control the battlefield, that will only affect the performance of the front-line generals, but every step of the front-line army's actions will be transmitted to the Dragon Court in written form, as a strategic reference for the future training of military talents.
Dian Wei looked at Li Xuan blankly at the map, sketching some strange patterns on the ground, he was a pure fierce general, it was okay to look at the general map, but looking at the exclusive map outlined by Li Xuan, he was a little blind.
"Is there any information about the water level of the river in the front-line intelligence?" Li Xuan turned his head and looked at Eagle Eye.
"Yes, but the water level of the river has been stable since the beginning of the war!" Hawkeye nodded.
Li Xuan thought back to the water level when they crossed the river, shook his head and said, "No, the river is turbulent in this section, and this season is when the water level is high, but when we came, the water level was still gentle...... A good Cao Mengde, even before the start of the war, had already begun to plan for this battle! ”
"Your Majesty, why don't I go and behead their people!?" Although Dian Wei was still ignorant, he also heard what Li Xuan meant, Cao Cao was ready to lead the water of the river to pour it back, and destroy Kou Zhong's army by means of water attack, so he hurriedly asked for his life.
"It's useless!" Li Xuan frowned and shook his head and said: "With Cao Mengde's shrewdness, how could he not have imagined this, from the beginning of the water storage to the present, I am afraid that it has been several months, even if we kill the people who guard the dam, when the water level reaches a certain height, the water will still wash away the embankment!" ”
"Do you want to inform Kou Zhong and ask him to withdraw his troops?" Eagle Eyes looked at Li Xuan.
"Hmm." Li Xuan nodded, then shook his head and said, "Since Cao Cao has prepared this plan, how can he let Kou Zhong calmly withdraw his troops." Dian Wei, you go and inform Kou Zhong, at this time, you can go as much as you can, Hawkeye, you quickly contact the nearest Dark Hall people. Ordered the cavalry of Qingzhou Zilong's department, and arrived at the fastest speed under the starry night! ”
"Yes!" The two bowed in agreement, got on their horses, and galloped away in different directions.
Looking at the direction in which the two left, Li Xuan took a deep breath and looked in the direction of Ohnoze, a chill flashed in his eyes, Cao Mengde deserved to be the hero of the world. It is actually to use the 100,000 Cao army in Dayozawa as bait, and exchange the lives of these 100,000 heroes for living space, although Xuchang has deployment, but it is Cao Cao's base camp, and if you want to deal with Cao Cao like Yuan Shao with the dark hall, I am afraid it will not work.
"Come out!" Taking a deep breath, Li Xuan suddenly said in a deep voice towards the void.
"The Captain of the Heavenly Division of the Dark Hall sees the master!" As Li Xuan's voice fell, beside him. In a shadow, a tall and thin figure appeared strangely behind Li Xuan. Get down on one knee and speak respectfully.
"Inform Ah Yue that Xuchang's operation is suspended, and the members of the dark hall who infiltrated Xuchang are temporarily hidden!" Li Xuan said in a deep voice, this plan to go south is a plan jointly formulated by Jia Xu and Liu Ji. Interlocking and precise, but also because of this, once there is a problem in one link, it is easy to affect the others. And the role of the dark hall is a very key part of it.
"Yes." After the black shadow received the order, his figure flickered, and he disappeared behind Li Xuan strangely again.
Hopefully, it's just in time!
Looking at the direction of Onozawa, a solemnity flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.
……
Onozawa, in the camp of Kou Zhong.
"Young marshal, Cao Mengde has been closed for several days, is there any trickery?" Luo Feng and Void Xingzhi came together, looking at Kou Zhong who was studying the map, Void Xingzhi frowned.
"Trickery?" Kou Zhong nodded and said: "This Cao Lao thief is indeed a difficult opponent, and there are many fierce generals under his command, plus several fierce generals such as Cao Ren and Le Jin who were defeated before, the comprehensive strength may not be weaker than our army, and now it is suddenly closed, if you say that you have no ideas, it is strange!" ”
"That ......" Xu Xingzhi looked at Kou Zhong, he and Kou Zhong have cooperated tacitly since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, looking at Kou Zhong's appearance of being a bamboo in his chest, he knew that Kou Zhong must have a plan in his heart, and said with a smile: "I don't know what the young marshal has planned?" ”
"Intended?" Kou Zhong raised his head, glanced at the void line, shook his head and said: "There is no need to plan anything, the so-called one-force reduction of ten meetings, as long as we break Cao Ying, then it doesn't matter what conspiracy he has." Having said that, Kou Zhong always felt as if he had overlooked something.
"Oh?" Xuan Xingzhi and Luo Feng's eyes lit up, and they looked at Kou Zhong and said, "The young marshal has a plan to break the enemy?" ”
"I have carefully studied the camp layout of Cao Lao Thief, and it is indeed leaky, but ...... It's a hundred secrets, but I found a good breakthrough, you can come and see. Kou Zhong smiled slightly, beckoned to the two of them.
Xu Xingzhi and Luo Feng were thousands of words, Kou Zhong pointed to the map and said: "Look here, it's probably because of the terrain, although a lot of deployments have been made, but so, so, as long as we use this as a breakthrough, we will definitely be able to break through the old thief's camp in one go!" ”
"Young marshal, have you noticed anything wrong?" Xu Xingzhi looked at the map, and did not show an excited look as Luo Feng followed Kou Zhong's explanation, but instead showed a group of expressions on his face, pointing to Cao Cao's camp.
"Oh? Not really, but what did Xingzhi find? Kou Zhong looked at Xu Xingzhi suspiciously, Cao Cao's camp he had already studied thousands of eight hundred times, and he was familiar with it, and he didn't find anything wrong.
"The layout of the camp is not a problem in itself, but the young marshal looks at Cao Thief's camp, it doesn't seem to be a camp commonly used in land warfare, but more like ......" Xu Xingzhi didn't continue, but looked at Kou Zhongdao.
"Flood control!?" Luo Feng on the side blurted out.
Kou Zhong suddenly turned his head, staring at Cao Cao's camp with a pair of tiger eyes, the corners of his eyes jumped, with his gaze and ability, since his thinking was led to this aspect, he quickly found out that there was something wrong, immediately turned around, found out a few pieces of information from countless intelligence, and quickly swept it over, for a long time, Kou Zhong suddenly raised his head, took a deep breath, and said coldly: "What a Cao old thief, such a decisive heart, such a ruthless heart!" ”
"Retreat now, I'm afraid it's too late!" Luo Feng showed a trace of bitterness on his face, and his face was ugly.
"Retreat?" Kou Zhong snorted coldly, and in the tiger's eyes, the cold light shone brightly. He said coldly: "Why do you want to retreat?" ”
"The young marshal wants to ......" Xu Xingzhi raised his head and looked at Kou Zhong, with a surprised expression in his eyes.
"The 100,000-strong army, if the whole army is annihilated, it will indeed be a heavy blow to our army. But as long as you can kill Cao Cao, it's all worth it! Kou Zhong slammed his fist on the table and said categorically.
"Young marshal, General Dian Wei is asking to see you outside the tent!" A guard rushed in, saw the three of them, and bowed.
"Dian Wei?" Kou Zhong, Xu Xingzhi, and Luo Feng glanced at each other, Dian Wei was Li Xuan's personal bodyguard, and when he came here at this time, Kou Zhong hurriedly raised his head and said, "Please!" ”
Soon. The tower-like body of Dian Wei appeared in front of Kou Zhong and the three of them, snatched the tea brought by the guards, drank it all in one go, and then stared at Kou Zhong and said, "Kou Zhong, your kid was yin by Cao Cao!" Hurry up and find a way to withdraw your troops! ”
A black line appeared on the foreheads of Kou Zhong, Xu Xingzhi, and Luo Feng at the same time, and they had long heard that Dian Wei beside His Majesty was a bad person, except for His Majesty. No one buys face, but now it can be regarded as a sight.
"Since Cao Cao has made this plan. I will never be allowed to withdraw from Da Yeze easily, if I withdraw from the army, Cao Cao old thief is afraid that he will stick up like crazy, not only will it be difficult to retreat, but he may be chased and beaten by Cao Cao's old thief by taking advantage of the situation, until then. Without the flood, we will be defeated first. Kou Zhong shook his head and rejected Dian Wei's view.
"What you kid said is similar to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty seems to say the same." Dian Wei nodded deeply with an expression that I knew a lot.
"General Dian. Your Majesty has already arrived nearby? Kou Zhong suddenly looked up and looked at Dian Weidao.
"How do you know?" Dian Wei looked at Kou Zhongdao in surprise.
"This ......" Kou Zhong, Xu Xingzhi, and Luo Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook their heads, your old man has come here, I'm afraid Your Majesty won't be too far away, shaking his head, Kou Zhong smiled: "Guess." ”
"I wonder if Your Majesty will explain how I will act before leaving?" Seeing what Dian Wei wanted to say, Kou Zhong hurriedly opened his mouth and diverted the topic.
"That's not true, it's just that up to now, you can go as much as you want." Dian Wei shook his head and said.
"Kou Zhong knows." Kou Zhong nodded, looked at Dian Wei and said: "Please General Dian tell Your Majesty that Kou Zhong has the great trust of His Majesty and brought the sons of the three armies into danger, thanks to Your Majesty's refusal to give up, he still chooses to believe in Kou Zhong, Kou Zhong has nothing to repay, only to repay Your Majesty's kindness with a disastrous victory!" ”
A pyrrhic victory?
Dian Wei looked at Kou Zhong and nodded suspiciously, obviously falling into someone's trap, it seems that he should have lost, but now he is saying that he won miserably.
"Then I'll go first." Although he didn't understand much, Dian Wei still remembered Kou Zhong's words, waved his hand, and didn't wait for a few people to say goodbye, turned around and strode towards the outside of the camp.
"Young marshal." Xu Xingzhi looked at Kou Zhong and said: "Your Majesty has already arrived in person, and has already explored the mystery here, I think we have a complete strategy, it is better for us to retreat first, and then ......"
"No need." Kou Zhong waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Dian Wei has already come here in person, which means that His Majesty has not brought too many people with him, and according to this, the one who can arrive the fastest is probably only General Zilong's war dragon horse, and the one named Mihawk who wants to come has already gone to ask for help at this moment, but he came here from Qingzhou, even with General Zilong's ability, it will take a day at the earliest, but I estimated the water level before, and according to the time, I am afraid that the embankment will break tomorrow at the latest." ”
Standing up, Kou Zhong looked at the two of them and said, "Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, only by putting it to death and then revitalizing can we fight for a glimmer of life!" After speaking, Kou Zhong suddenly shouted outside the tent: "Spread Huarong!" ”
"The last general, Hua Rong, see the young marshal!" Soon, Hua Rong's tall figure appeared in front of the three of them and bowed to Kou Zhong.
"Hua Rong." Kou Zhong lowered his head, looked at this general who he was very optimistic about, and said in a deep voice: "Ben Shuai has an important task for you, and you must complete it!" ”
Glancing at Kou Zhong in surprise, Hua Rong nodded and said, "Young marshal, please speak!" ”
"I want you to select a team of the most elite soldiers and escort Mr. Xu away immediately, remember, be sure to protect Mr. Xu's safety, Mr. Song Xu will go to the Qingzhou camp!" Kou Zhong said in a deep voice.
"Young marshal?" Hua Rong looked up and looked at Kou Zhong in disbelief.
"Just do it!" Kou Zhong said in a deep voice.
"Young marshal, our army may not be ......," said falsely.
"Needless to say." Kou Zhong shook his head and said: "Our army has a chance of winning, but since Cao Lao Thief has already made a plan, I think that in this seemingly flawed place, I am afraid that there will be arrangements for a long time, I will fight to the death tonight, but you must leave!" ”
"It's not a weak scholar." Hearing this, he said.
Kou Zhong nodded and said with a smile: "I believe that with the means of practice, I am afraid that the idle generals may not be the opponents of the practice, but I have no reason to let the military advisor follow us to fight hard, so you must go!" This is a military order! ”
When Hua Rong heard this, he also felt a trace of unspeakable heaviness, although he didn't know what was going on, but it must be a major matter related to the safety of the three armies, otherwise Kou Zhong would not have to send himself to send the void from the 100,000 army, gritting his teeth, Hua Rong looked at the way of the void line: "Please also ask Mr. to come with Hua." ”
Looking at Hua Rong's firm expression, Xu Xingzhi had no doubt that if he resisted, he would be ruthlessly suppressed by this famous general, and couldn't help but nod with a wry smile: "Then there is General Lao Hua, the young marshal cherishes it!" ”
Hearing this, Kou Zhong patted the well on his waist and laughed loudly: "Don't worry, looking at the world, there are not many people who can keep me Kou Zhong." ”
"The young marshal is heroic, and he knows it naturally." Void Xingzhi nodded, and under the escort of Hua Rong, he left the camp.
Seeing off the void line, Kou Zhong looked at Luo Feng and said, "The three armies have a full meal, tonight, follow this young marshal to break through the Cao camp!" ”
Luo Feng raised his head and said, "Obey the military order!" ”
Southern of Onozawa, Cao Cao's camp.
"Xu Xingzhi was escorted out of the camp, it seems that Kou Zhong has seen it." Cao Cao's narrow eyes were filled with a cold glow.
Guo Jia nodded and said: "But Kou Zhong did not leave, but began to boost morale, it seems that he wants to fight to the death with our army, this person's decisiveness is rare in the real world, if you don't get rid of it, it will be a big trouble for your henchmen." ”
Confidant?
Cao Cao smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this, now that he is, he only hopes that he can successfully defeat Kou Zhong's army today in exchange for his respite.
"Yuan Rang!" Cao Cao turned his head, looked at his clan brother, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately lead the guards and send Fengxiao, Wenruo, Gongda, and Zhongde back to Xuchang, there must be no mistake!" ”
"Mengde!" Xiahoudun couldn't help but be anxious when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Please let someone join the war, I want to avenge Miaocai!" ”
"Bastard!" Cao Cao said sharply: "Do you want to disobey the military order!?" ”
Xiahoudun raised his head, looked at Cao Cao and said, "Meng De, offended!" After speaking, he had already deceived himself, and in Cao Cao's annoyed gaze, he struck Cao Cao with a knife and stunned Cao Cao.
"Xiahoudun!" Xiahoudun's speed was too fast, and he was suddenly in trouble, and even Xu Chu, who was close to Cao Cao, couldn't react, and looked at Xiahoudun with an annoyed face.
"Zhongkang, it's up to you to escort the lord and the four gentlemen back to Xuchang!" Xiahoudun looked at Xu Chu and said in a deep voice: "There is no Xiahoudun in the world, but there must be no Mengde!" ”
"General Yuanrang!" Guo Jia and the four of them looked at Xiahoudun and sighed.
"It's not too early, please hit the road." Xiahoudun stretched out his hand and said in a deep voice.
"Take care!"
"Take care!" (To be continued......)
