Chapter 10: The Battle of Soy Sauce

"Report ......"

"Say." Cao Cao didn't raise his head, still staring at the map in thought.

"Alone through the garrison plain, Liu Bei garrisoned Gaotang, and Tao Qian garrisoned the troops." The little colonel replied quickly.

"Hmm...... In this way, it seems that Gongsun Chan really doesn't want to let Benchu sleep peacefully. Cao Cao pondered for a long time, pointed to the map and said to us: "These three places are like a fish in the throat for the beginning, I must break its three roads with the beginning, I think of hitting Liu Bei, Tao Qian, leaving the single scripture and the beginning, how about it?" ”

"The Lord sees it." The generals responded in unison.

"That being the case, wait for the whole army to prepare for the battle!"

====The dividing line of the troops====

I thought that the opponent would be the future Shu Han hero Liu Bei, and this battle would be extremely exciting, but it turned out that we were just playing soy sauce in the past-Mo asked.

When Cao's army hurried to the front line, the news of Gongsun Zhan's defeat came from the front, and after that, Liu Bei and Tao Qian shrank in the city like turtles and did not come out, and Cao Cao was happy to stalemate with him.

"Liu Bei? The one who sells shoes is the one who sells shoes, and he is so scared that he doesn't dare to come out, and this kind of goods is also worthy of the surname Liu? ”

"Come out of the straw sandals, Daddy is waiting for you here."

"Liu Bei, Liu Bei, no guts rats!"

……

"Damn!" Zhang Fei slammed the iron spear to the ground, and a small hole was smashed into the city wall.

"Big brother, let me go out and fight for a while!" Zhang Fei suddenly turned back and said to Liu Bei, who was sitting on the head of the city observing Cao Jun.

"Yide, don't be impatient." Liu Bei looked slow and reasonable, and he couldn't see the slightest anger on his face, as if he was not the one who was scolded by the sergeant under the city.

"Big brother! You just put up with it? If this continues, the morale of the sergeants will be lost! ”

"Hehe, this matter is easy to hear." Liu Bei put down the teacup. Stood up and said loudly to the city: "I am Liu Bei, the commander of Pingyuan County, please see you and other generals!" ”

At this time, the Cao army camped.

"It's boring." Mo Wen lay on the table, stared at the door of the tent, and sighed for the Nth time. Cao Cao took Xiahoudun and Chen Gong to find Tao Qian for trouble, Mo Wen and Xiahou Yuan guarded Liu Bei, but Liu Bei played turtle shrinkage tactics, and they had no choice, so they had to send some sergeants to use these low-end agitation methods to force Liu Bei.

[However, Liu Bei has only a few soldiers, more than enough to defend the city, and insufficient to attack, even if Guan Zhang Wanyoufu's invincible courage will drown in the ocean of people's struggle, Liu Bei will come out to fight us when he is stupid. Don't ask for secret thoughts. [But Gongsun Chan was defeated so quickly...... It seems that Yuan Dashao also has a capable person over there. 】

"Report ......" The elongated voice of the herald interrupted Mo Wen's thoughts.

"Captain Mo, Liu Bei shouted to see General Xiahou. General Xiahou was ready to leave the camp, and sent the villain to inform the captain. ”

"Well, I see, you go down."

[What does Liu Bei want to do? Mo Wen carried a sword and a gun out of the camp.

With several sword and shield soldiers, Xiahou Yuan and Mo Wen looked up to Liu Bei under the city.

"Isn't it that Liu Xianling is annoyed and angry, and wants to plot against me with a cold arrow, but it may disappoint you." Xiahou Yuan stood behind the shield and mocked first.

"General Xiahou laughed." Liu Beiyun smiled lightly, "How could I use such a subordinate method?" ”

"Then why do you want to see me? Could it be that seeing that my army is strong, you want to vote for me? Xiahou Yuan said with a smile.

"Bei has a classmate friendship with Bogui, how can he abandon it? The agitated general Fawu has already seen through it, and it is useless to send this sergeant, so why waste manpower and tarnish my name? If you want to fight, why don't you attack the city? Those who are prepared will wait for you to take it. ”

"Big-eared arrogant!" Xiahou Yuan clenched the spear in his hand.

"General Xiahou, you need to be cautious in the war." Mo Wen saw that Xiahou Yuan's hand holding the gun burst into several green tendons, for fear that he would lead his troops to attack the city as soon as he couldn't help it, so he hurriedly persuaded.

"I know what matters." Xiahou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, raised his gun and pointed it at Liu Bei, and said loudly: "Let you be proud for a few days, and when the lord returns victoriously, he will ask you to be crowned!" ”

"Waiting for General Xiahou."

"Damn! Come back to camp with me. Xiahou Yuan turned his horse's head.

"General, are we still scolding?" A sergeant asked.

"What's the use of scolding? Go back! ”

"Yes, yes." The sergeant said yes, and then called the gang of street scolders to close.

"We don't have enough equipment, and it is useless to attack the city, so let them be proud for two days first." Listening to Liu Beijun's cheers on the city wall behind him, and looking at Xiahou Yuan's increasingly gloomy face, Mo Wen comforted.

"Humph!" Xiahou Yuan snorted heavily, turned his head to look at the city wall, ignored the question, set up his horse and galloped back to the camp.

Mo Wen smiled bitterly, and also trotted towards the camp tent on his horse - this riding skill was learned by Mo Wen when he pretended to be crippled, and the sides of his thighs hurt at first, but now it is much better.

At the same time, Yuan Shao was in the camp.

"Can the military advisor persuade the lord to take advantage of Cao Cao's unpreparedness to raid his camp, and take Cao Cao as a hostage, so that he can get the land of Yanzhou." An officer said to a scribe in a robe.

"Changkong, this suggestion will not be adopted by the lord." The scribe replied, "Cao Gong is our ally, if we treat our allies like this, who will dare to form an alliance with us in the future?" What's more, Duke Cao and the lord are close friends. ”

"Strategist! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Cao Cao will definitely be our great enemy in the future, and we must not miss the opportunity! Frustrated military division! The officer still didn't want to give up.

"Gongsun Zhan is in Youzhou, although he was defeated because of your plan, but he did not hurt his roots, Yuan Shu is the brother of the lord but has always been at odds with the lord, and he is eyeing him from the side. There are also Tao Qian, Liu Bei and others on the side. It is really not advisable to plot allies. I thought that Changkong could defeat Gongsun with a strange strategy, but he was a far-sighted person, and you had a great enmity with Cao Gong? ”

The officer stopped talking, but he was frustrated and saw that he did not speak, thinking that he had said the right thing. "Think it out for yourself." Leaving this sentence behind, he turned away in frustration.

[It is precisely because of my farsightedness that I suggest that the lord eradicate Cao Cao as soon as possible. I know that I may not succeed, but I always feel unwilling not to try. The officer looked at the departing figure and smiled bitterly, [I can't say that I will fight Cao Cao sooner or later, and the probability of us losing is very high. 】

"After a big defeat alone, Gongsun Thorn Shi is no longer able to attack Yuan Shao, and it is useless for us to stay here, so it is better to withdraw our troops." Jian Yong persuaded Liu Bei.

"Big brother, let me go out to fight for a while before leaving, I've had enough of that guy for a while." Zhang Fei was eager to try.

"Well, it's okay, the second brother and the third brother will attack the camp together tonight, remember that if the Cao army is heavily guarded, you can't fight." Liu Bei said to Guan Yu, who was squinting his eyes and twisting his beard.

"Got it, I must listen to the command of the second brother."

"Hmm."

That night, Cao's army camped.

"Yawn, when is this kind of day a head?" The guards on the watchtower lazily played with the bows and arrows in their hands, and said to their companions who were resting with their eyes closed.

"How do I know...... "The soldier leaning on the railing of the watchtower suddenly widened his eyes and fell into his throat.

"Someone sneaked up!" The guards who watched their companions fall from the tower were stunned, and then shouted.

The silent barracks suddenly became lively.

"Yide, you missed the shot." Guan Yu hung the bow and arrow back on his horse and said to Zhang Fei on the side.

"Second brother marksmanship." Zhang Fei laughed, not caring at all that he didn't shoot.

Now that it's been discovered, let's rush. Guan Yu raised his long knife and looked at Cao Ying not far away and shouted, "Kill!" ”

"Someone is attacking the camp!"

Mo Wen, who was woken up, jumped up from the bed and hurriedly put on his armor. "It's annoying, but I've got a gift for you."

========================================================================

"Kill...... Oops! One of Liu Beijun's elders screamed and rushed to the gate of Cao Jun's camp, and suddenly his feet were empty and he fell.

"What's going on!" Guan Yu looked at the ravine at the gate of the camp, which was about ten zhang long and three zhang wide, and roared angrily. At this time, dozens of Sergeant Liu Bei had fallen into the ditch.

"Damn! If only there were more people. Seeing that Cao Jun was constantly coming out of the tents, Guan Yu gritted his teeth and shouted: "Withdraw the troops!" ”

"Second brother, we still have a chance!" Zhang Fei shouted from the side.

"You know what! We only have more than 1,000 people in total, if there is no ravine, we can naturally take advantage of the chaos to defeat the Cao army, and now we are blocked by this ravine, we have lost precious time to raid, and the Cao army will not watch us destroy the rejection of horses when we wake up. Guan Yu turned the horse's head helplessly. If we have 3,000 men, even if we are blocked by a ditch, we can force our way through the rejection...... It's a pity. ”

"General Xiahou, the enemy army has retreated." Facing Xiahou Yuan, who had just gotten up, a herald said tremblingly.

"Hmm...... Did Liu Bei let these guys sell cute? The trap can only disgust them. Could it be ......" Thinking of this, Mo asked to step forward and prepare to say something.

"Thanks to Captain Mo's strategy, we will be saved from Liu Bei's sneak attack tonight." Xiahou Yuan saw Mo Wen standing in front of him, remembered Mo Wen's preparations at the gate of the camp, and praised Mo Wen, "With this strategy, we will not be afraid of the enemy's night attack in the future." ”

"The general laughed, if there is a large army attacking at night, that thing can only cause a little trouble, but Liu Beijun retreated because of this, which can only mean that there are not many people who come to attack at night!" Mo Wen's eyes flashed: "The news of Gongsun Zhan's defeat should also be passed over, but at this time, Liu Bei came to sneak attack, and it was not pressed by the whole army, which can only mean that Liu Bei is going to flee tonight!" ”

"If you don't say it earlier, someone will prepare ......" "General." Before Xiahou Yuan's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Mo Wen.

"Why can't you chase it?" Xiahou Yuan looked at Mo with a puzzled expression.

"Although Liu Bei is weak, he also has 3,000 soldiers and horses, and now the heroes are together, the enemy and I are unknown, it is not appropriate to waste manpower, and whether Liu Bei has ambush soldiers is not yet known." Mo asked back.

"That's it, send someone tomorrow to investigate the movements of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses." Xiahou Yuan pondered for a long time and sighed lightly.

=======================================================

"Big brother, the sneak attack failed." Guan Yu lowered his head and said to Liu Bei.

"Oh? Did the other party expect it? But the soldiers didn't lose much. Liu Bei was taken aback.

"It's not that the other party expected it, but they dug a big pit at the gate of the camp, and I couldn't rush into it for a while. Cao's army also reacted, our army was insufficient and unable to break through the strong attack. So......" Guan Yu was obviously not convinced, "If you give me another 2,000, not 1,000 sergeants, I will definitely succeed in attacking the camp!" ”

"Forget it if you fail, our army will retreat slowly tonight, be careful of the pursuit of Cao's army."

"Yes!"

Next.

"Report, Liu Bei led the army to retreat in the direction of the plain overnight."

"Sure enough." Xiahou Yuan whispered, glanced at Mo Wen, who was looking at the map not far away, "Since Liu Bei has withdrawn from the army, it is useless for us to stay here, so today we will pull out the village and join the lord." ”

"Yes!"

At the end of the third year of Chuping (192 AD), Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's combined forces defeated Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian, and Liu Bei's combined forces, Gongsun Zhan was defeated, Yuan Shao was victorious, and Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Tao Qian retreated after a stalemate for more than a month. In Mo Wen's words, Yuan Shaogong and Sun Zan fought, and everyone else came to fight soy sauce.

After the fight, Cao Cao returned to Yanzhou, Tao Qian and Liu Bei returned to Xuzhou, and Yuan Shao Gongsun still confronted each other at the border, but a large-scale conflict could not break out for a while.

The first three years passed like this.
