Chapter 148: The Battle Begins
For the use of Guan Cheng, Ko Yi already had a clear plan in his heart, but the time has not yet come, so he has not made it clear, and it is precisely because of this that Koji Yi is unwilling to let Guan Cheng take too much risk, because in some aspects, Guan Cheng is irreplaceable for the time being.
But now Guan Cheng took the initiative to ask for war, but it was not easy for Koji Yi to refuse directly, after all, Guan Cheng had just surrendered, and his heart was the most sensitive time, once he refused, he might make Guan admit that Koji did not trust him, which was not conducive to unity and hurt morale.
As soon as Koji Yi thought of this, he smiled heartily: "It is a blessing for the generals to compete for merit, and I want to come here to fight and defeat the Cao army!" Speaking of this, Lu Yi paused slightly, thought for a moment in his heart, and then said: "Guan Cheng listens to the order, and you 3,000 soldiers, immediately lead the troops up the mountain and ambush the Cao army, there must be no mistake!" ”
Guan Cheng saw that Lu Yi agreed, and his heart was overjoyed, and he immediately hugged his fists and said: "The last general will take the order, if Cao Jun does not come, it will be annihilated!" After saying that, he bowed and left.
Cheng Gongying sat aside, looking at Guan Cheng, who had left, his brows furrowed slightly, and he turned his head to Lu Yi and said: "There are many fierce generals in the Cao army, if a big general is sent to lead the troops, Guan Cheng may not be an opponent!" ”
Koji Yi smiled slightly and replied, "I think so too!" After that, he looked at Xu Sheng below and said, "Xu Sheng listens to the order!" ”
Xu Sheng heard the roll call of Lu Yi, his face was happy, he got up quickly, and said, "The last general!" ”
"Order you to lead 2,000 soldiers, quietly follow after Guan Cheng, if there is an accident, you should help them quickly!"
"No!" Xu Sheng said yes, then turned to leave.
There are few koji volunteers, and there are more than 20,000 people together, and sending 5,000 people at one time is the limit.
Although Xu Sheng is young, after the baptism of several wars, his heart has become more and more calm, and his martial arts are outstanding, which is enough to stand alone.
Xu Sheng left, and Lu Yi said: "Cao Cao has sent people to sneak into the back mountain, and he will come to the camp tomorrow to challenge, I am afraid that there will be a fierce battle, you should be prepared, so as not to be caught off guard by then!" ”
After hearing this, everyone got up together and replied loudly: "No! ”
At dawn on the second day, Chen Deng and Mi Zhu had discussed properly and were going to see Tao Qian together, but before they could make the trip, they suddenly heard the rumbling drums outside the city, which was very urgent.
Hearing this rapid drum sound, Chen Deng, who had just finished cleaning up, was shocked, his face changed slightly, and he couldn't care about much, so he hurriedly rushed to Tao Qian's mansion.
This is a drum for gathering generals and a drum for the whole army, indicating that Cao Cao is gathering troops and horses to prepare for an attack.
There are no longer a few people in the city who came as quickly as Chen Deng, everyone knows the meaning of the drums, and they also know that this battle may decide the fate of everyone and even the entire Xuzhou.
When Chen Deng quickly arrived at the gate of Tao Qian's mansion, he met Cao Bao and Zhen Rong walking together, and the two looked extremely intimate.
Seeing this, Chen Deng was suspicious, and at this time, the two of them also came closer, Cao Bao was full of smiles, and took the initiative to signal to Chen Deng.
Chen Deng smiled back, and then pretended to ask casually, "Why did you two come together?" ”
Cao Bao looked smug when he heard the question, and replied: "I really don't hide it from Yuanlong, Bohe has proposed to the little girl, and I also agreed, so I will come together!" ”
Chen Deng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he didn't show it, and then smiled and said: "This is a happy event, I will be happy in the future, and I will congratulate each other in person!" ”
"Hahaha!" Cao Bao laughed loudly when he heard this, and then replied: "In this way, thank Yuan Longye first!" After speaking, he bowed his hand to Chen Deng, and walked into the mansion with Zhenrong.
Chen Deng was thinking in his heart, Mi Zhu had arrived, saw him standing at the door, stepped forward and asked, "Why is Yuanlong standing outside the door?" ”
Chen Deng came back to his senses and knew that this matter could not be explained clearly in a few words, and replied: "When I encountered something, I hesitated in my heart, the big war is imminent, and I will talk to Zizhong in detail later, and the two of us will enter quickly, so as not to make the prince anxious!" ”
Seeing that Chen Deng didn't say anything, Mi Zhu didn't ask, nodded and walked towards the mansion with Chen Deng.
When they arrived in the hall, everyone had already arrived, Tao Qian sat on the main seat with a shocked face, saw the two of them come in, nodded his head, and then said: "Cao Yingdian outside the city will make a big drum, I'm afraid it's not a good thing, you should follow me to the city wall to see." After speaking, he got up with the support of the waiter and walked out of the door first.
Everyone didn't say much, stood up at the same time, and followed behind Tao Qian in turn, with different expressions.
Cao Bao and Zhen Rong walked in the middle of the crowd, Cao Bao lowered his head and approached Zhen Rong, and said softly: "If the war starts today, the prince of the palace will send me out of the city to attack Cao Cao, can Bo and his subordinates have capable people to help?" ”
After hearing this, Zhen Rong was extremely disdainful in his heart, and replied softly: "I have three hundred personal soldiers under my command, which are selected from tens of thousands of disciples, and I will let them be brought later and temporarily dispatched by my father-in-law!" ”
Cao Bao was extremely satisfied with Zhenrong after hearing this, nodded slightly, and said nothing.
The group followed Tao Qian to the city wall, and then looked out of the city in a hurry.
At this time, Cao Cao's army has been assembled, Cao Cao took the lead in the banner of Shuaizi, and a group of civil and military forces followed behind him, and they were slowly walking towards the direction of the Liyi camp, and it seemed that the war was really about to break out.
Seeing this, Tao Qian asked everyone: "Cao Cao sent troops, a big war is inevitable, although the general is brave, but the strength is limited, we should send troops to help, two attacks, we can win!" ”
After listening to this, Wang Lang respectfully replied: "What the prince said is very true, now Cao Cao personally led the army away, and his camp must be empty, so he can send people to rob the camp and burn its grain and grass. ”
Chen Deng had been observing Cao Cao's army, and after listening to Wang Lang's words, he shook his head and replied, "It's not proper!" ”
When Wang Lang heard Chen Deng oppose him so bluntly, his brows furrowed, his heart was displeased, and he said in an unkind tone: "I don't know what Yuanlong has to say?" ”
In Xuzhou, Chen Deng didn't take Wang Lang seriously, turned to Tao Qian and said: "Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou this time, falsely claiming that the army was 200,000, but it was actually 80,000.
I just observed it carefully, and found that Cao Cao had just taken away about 50,000 people, and about 20,000 horses were still missing. ”
After listening to Chen Deng's analysis, everyone looked at Cao Ying outside the city again, but saw that except for a few people guarding the door in Cao Ying, there was no one in Cao Ying, and they were all puzzled.
But everyone also knows that Chen Deng is outstandingly resourceful, and this is a critical moment, and he will never talk nonsense, so it is difficult to make a decision for a while.
Tao Qian was also hesitant in his heart, thought about it and asked Chen Deng again: "If you follow Yuanlong's words, will we refuse to be surprised?" ”
Chen Deng smiled slightly, and said confidently: "No, not only must you send troops, but you must also go all out, and vow to make Cao Thief difficult to take care of!" ”
Tao Qian's face was overjoyed after hearing this, and he hurriedly asked: "What is Yuanlong's clever plan, you can say it quickly!" ”
