Chapter 63 Ke Shouchun Cao Cao's personal expedition

Cao Cao's original surname is Xiahou, whether it is Xiahou Yuan or Xiahou Dun, it is his own family. Le Jin saw that Xiahou's army and horses were gradually defeated, but he was afraid of losing it, so he hurriedly said: "If Wen Yuan is hesitating, the soldiers and horses outside the city will be wiped out." "Zhang Liao is also embarrassed, Erxiahou is Cao Cao's cronies and brothers, if he sees death today and does not save him, how should he explain when he sees Cao Cao in the future? But if you go out of the city to help the war, you are afraid of the plan, and you will lose your longevity, and you can't afford the sin.

Zhang Liao hesitated again, the Wu army had already had an absolute advantage, surrounded the Xiahou troops under the core, and saw that they were about to be drowned among the Eastern Wu soldiers. Zhang Liao punched the wall battlement, looked back at the generals and said: "A certain self-led army to the rescue, the public guards the city, if you don't see a certain person, you must not open the city gate without permission." "Hurry down the city and gather all the troops and horses to fight out of the city.

Zhao Shu was reported in the camp that Zhang Liao finally led the army out, and he was overjoyed. Zhang Liao's worries were true, the turmoil in the Dongwu camp was all Zhao Shu's plan to lure the enemy. Because he saw Zhang Liao killed, he hurriedly asked Lu Meng, Gan Ning, Xu Sheng, and Zhou Tai to guard the four gates, and strictly ordered Zhang Liao not to let Zhang Liao ride back to the city alone.

Zhang Liao led the troops to rush into the Wu camp, at first the Wu army did not resist, for the birds and beasts to disperse, but then gradually surrounded the generals to come forward, the more they killed, the more frightened, knowing that it was a plan, eager to turn around and kill back to the city. But it's easy to get in, it's hard to get out, Zhang Liaole's army turned around for a while, and saw a general blocking the way, and regarded it as Gan Ning, the general of Eastern Wu. The second general did not answer, fought in one place, killed more than ten rounds, and the Wu army surrounded more and more. Zhang Liao couldn't fight, so he had to pull out his horse and lead the army to the West Gate. Zhou Tai led an army to block it; and turned to the north gate, but was also blocked by Lymon; Then there was Xu Sheng at the east gate, all of whom were ordered by the generals to desperately not let Zhang Liao enter the city. Zhang Liao turned to the four gates, he was already sleepy and tired, and when he saw that it was getting late, he could not enter the city, so he had to sigh and regret it, and abandoned Shouchun to take the small road.

Zhao Shu saw that Zhang Liao was defeated and left, his heart was even happier, and he knew that the plan had been accomplished, and invited Chen Wu and Dong Xian's second general to lead the soldiers and horses to change into Cao Jun's flag armor, and took the sergeant who looked similar to Zhang Liao in the army, and went to the city to earn money. After Le Jin, Li Dian and other generals saw Zhang Liao's army in the city and slaughtered into the Wu camp, the camp was full of murder, and they were very worried in their hearts. Seeing that it was getting late, I faintly saw Cao soldiers and horses killing all the way to the city, and heard someone shouting: "General Zhang is back to the city, open the city gate quickly." ”

Le Jin was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was about to open the city gate. Li Dian stopped beside him: "Wen Qian is slow. General Zhang once said that if he did not see his personal arrival, he would not be allowed to open the door. So he asked loudly to the city, "Where is General Zhang?" You can come forward and answer. A sergeant under the city helped out the fake Zhang Liao, and in the firelight, he was covered with blood, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to be seriously injured. The guard next to him replied: "General Zhang is seriously injured, and I ask the two generals to open the city gate quickly." As soon as the words fell, I heard the Eastern Wu army and horses killing behind me, and shouted loudly: "Hugh left Zhang Wenyuan." ”

Lejin, Li Dian didn't hesitate any longer, and hurriedly ordered the sergeant to open the city gate. Chen Wu and Dong Xi saw that the city gate had been opened under the city, and hurriedly swarmed into the city and rushed into the city. Le, Li Erwei pursued the soldiers of the Wu army, and they all brought soldiers and horses to greet them, and when they saw that the situation was not right, they urgently ordered the sergeants to resist. However, Wu's army was strong, and some people in the army shouted: "Zhang Liao has been killed, and those who surrender will not die." Cao Jun didn't know whether it was true or not, and he had no fighting spirit, so he retreated. Le, Second General Li had to lead the defeated army and fight and leave.

Wu army from the south gate to kill, and divided the troops to meet the other gates, for a time in the city to kill the sound of the sky, the rest of the gates also broke one after another, Le Jin, Li Dian saw that the general trend has gone, had to lead the troops out of the north gate, but saw a general blocking the way, regarded it as Gan Ning, prancing horse horizontal gun, and said loudly: "Shouchun has been lost, why not dismount and surrender?" ”

The second general was also unwilling to be entangled, so he waved his army and rushed forward, but he was shot by Gan Ning, and he was happy to enter the door. Li Dian was shocked, and hurriedly led the army to desperately protect Lejin and kill a bloody road. Gan Ning saw that the Cao army was fighting desperately, so he had to order the sergeant to let go of the road, and after the Cao army was more than half, he waved his army to cover the killing. Cao Jun wanted to flee for his life, did not return to the formation to fight again, and was chased by the Wu army, so he had to throw down his weapons and armor, and Gan Ning gained a lot.

When Sun Quan got Shouchun, he held a banquet in the city to celebrate his achievements. Zhao Shu resigned again and again, but had to be the chief, now that Sun Quan occupies the land of Huainan, and Cao Cao is in a head-on conflict, he should no longer have time to take care of Jingzhou, and his mind is over, so he wants to resign and return to Chengdu. So he raised his glass and said: "Marquis Wu has to occupy Shouchun, and Cao Cao will inevitably lead a large army to come." Shu Yuan returned to Chengdu and asked my lord to send troops to Hanzhong, so that Cao Cao could not care about each other. ”

After fighting side by side for many days, Sun Quan was very reluctant and said: "What Mr. said is very lonely, but he can't bear to let Mr. leave, can he let others go?" In Sun Quan's army for a few days, Zhao Shu got along with the generals very happily, far better than in Chengdu with suspicion, but naturally under Liu Bei's account, and about Feng, Huang Zhong naturally could not switch to Sun Quan, so he had to say: "There is no banquet in the world." Shu has been in Wu Hou's army for many days, and he should also go back to Chengdu to report the news, lest the lord be held responsible. Sun Quan had no choice but to promise to see him off tomorrow.

The next day, Sun Quan personally led the crowd to see off Zhao Shu outside the city, but he was also a little reluctant when they parted. The comrade-in-arms for several days spontaneously appeared, Zhao Shu shook hands with the generals one by one and said goodbye, and was about to get on the horse and leave. But when he heard the sound of hurried horses' hoofs, he saw a horse galloping towards him. When he got closer, the sergeant turned over and dismounted, ran to Sun Quan and said, "My lord, Cao Cao has personally led an army of 300,000 to kill, so he took Zhang Liao as the vanguard and came to Shouchun." ”.

Everyone was discolored, and Sun Quan muttered: "I didn't expect Cao Cao to come so quickly, and the soldiers and horses in Wuzhong have not yet arrived." What can I do? ”

Zhao Shu knew that the Shouchun Wu army was only 100,000, and the strength was far inferior to Cao Cao. So he stepped forward and said: "Since Cao Cao's army is coming, Wu Hou can quickly return to the city to prepare, and Shu should also return to the city to wait for dispatch." Only Guan Feng was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

Back in the city, Sun Quan raised his tent to gather generals and asked for strategies to defend against the enemy. Zhang Zhao offered a plan: "You can ask Mr. Zhao to repair two letters, one to Chengdu, and ask Uncle Huang to send troops to Hanzhong; One letter was sent to General Jingzhou Guan, asking him to send troops to attack Fancheng to divide Cao Cao's troops. Seeing that everyone turned to look at themselves again, Zhao Shu had to get up and say: "The two families have the friendship of the alliance, and Shu is repairing the book." "Busy returning to the account, repairing two letters and handing them over to Sun Quan. After Sun Quan got the book, he ordered Zhuge Jin and Kan Ze to take the book to Chengdu and Jingzhou respectively. Zhao Shu was afraid that Guan Yu would not send troops, so he discussed with Guan Feng, so that she agreed to go to Jingzhou with Kan Ze to persuade her father.

On the same day, Tanma reported that Cao Jun had gone to the west of the city for ten miles. When General Gan Ning heard the news, he immediately got up and said: "Lord, Cao Cao is new, and he is willing to lead the elite to rob the camp tonight to frustrate his spirit." ”
