Chapter 55: Missed Opportunity
Cao Cao returned to the army, passing through Mount Tai, so not atmospheric, Cao Cao suddenly stopped the team, looked ahead, Guo Jia saw this, rode a horse and Cao Cao parallel, looked at the front of Mount Tai There is a narrow road, the mountains on both sides are extremely steep, the most suitable ambush to bury, Cao Cao passed through Xuzhou several times when he fell, every time he went to this place, he was not frightened, fortunately this belongs to his own Yanzhou territory, so there has been no danger.
But this trip here can't help but be frightened. Guo Jia sighed and said: "General, it's useless to worry, if our army doesn't pass through here, the army will be closed, and at this time, the only way to pass as soon as possible is to have a glimmer of life!" ”
Cao Cao nodded yes, "What Feng Xiao said is true, if we pass safe and sound, then Yanzhou can be peaceful, if I am ambushed here, I will die Cao Cao!" ”
This is actually Cao Cao's uncertainty, so he used it to test the heavens.
Waving his hand to order the sergeant to quickly pass through the dangerous road of Mount Tai, along the way a group of trees towered, the road is rugged, but there is no danger, I can't imagine that there is no ambush here.
Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said to Guo Jia with his hand: "If Lu Bu sets up an ambush here, then our army will rest, it can be seen that Lu Bu is incompetent, but the troops in Puyang are not intercepting our army in this Taishan dangerous road, it is his obsessive art of war, and he will be defeated by my hands." ”
Cao Cao really didn't know, but Chen Gong wanted to intercept Cao Cao here, but Lu Bu was new to Puyang, and the army's heart was not stable, so he didn't dare to get into danger easily, not to mention that Lu Bu was the reincarnation of Xiang Yu, who was good at fighting on the battlefield and charging into battle, but he was not good at ambushes, which was actually his nature.
Cao Cao and his entourage went back and forth to Yanzhou without danger, seeing a team of people in front of him to greet him, Cao Cao raised his eyes, and sure enough, it was Cao Ren, the relationship between Cao Ren and Cao Cao was very special, but it was inconvenient to say it bluntly, this Cao Ren was as loyal as Xiahou Dun, and from the outsider's point of view, he was from the same sect as Cao Cao after all, and it was natural for him to be close to Cao Cao.
Cao Ren gave a brief introduction to the battle situation at that time, to put it simply, Lu Bu was very fierce and occupied Yanzhou and Puyang, if it weren't for Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, basically you wouldn't even have any belongings.
The situation was far more tragic than in the battle report, Cao Cao knew the hardships in his heart, and his anger was unsettled, and he couldn't imagine that Zhang Invite would betray him even if he wanted to break his head, and he was very sad in his heart: Zhang Invite, you let me down! I have done this to you, but why have you rebelled against me?
Speaking of Zhang Miao, he belongs to a related household and belongs to the princelings, and his relationship is needless to say, and it is precisely for this reason that Cao Cao made an important resolution at the family meeting when he attacked Tao Qian.
Cao Cao can be said to be the best use of people, he left his family in Zhencheng, and Xun Yu was in charge of Zhencheng, which undoubtedly handed over his net worth to Xun Yu.
At this point, many people around Cao Cao couldn't figure out why Cao Cao entrusted his family to Xun Yu of the Xun family, instead of Puyang, which was defended by Xiahoudun, a military stronghold.
In fact, it is precisely because Xun Yu has the talent to strategize, and Xiahou is loyal and brave, when Cao Cao sent troops, he made it clear that he had to listen to Xun Yu in everything.
It's a pity that today it seems that he mistook Zhang Miao. In fact, Zhang Miao was not mistaken, if Cao Cao did not act so arbitrarily in Xuzhou, Zhang Miao would definitely help Cao Cao. If Cao Cao hadn't done the slaughter of Xuzhou, Zhang Miao would never betray him, after all, it was a friendship for many years.
If Cao Cao unfortunately died in battle, it is of course incumbent on him to take care of his little Zhang Miao, and he will treat him well, but Cao Cao has violated Zhang Miao's bottom line, he has a pure temperament and has a heart for the world, and is a benevolent and righteous person, how could Cao Cao be allowed to slaughter innocent people like this, so when Chen Gong persuaded him to assist Lu Bu, Zhang Miao agreed without hesitation, and there was the tragedy of the backyard fire.
Fortunately, Cao Cao dropped two of the most important chess pieces in Yanzhou before leaving, but not intentionally, but these two chess pieces finally gave him the opportunity to fight, these two chess pieces were Xun Yu and Cheng Yu.
In fact, when Lu Bu defected to Zhang Miao, Xun Yu had already keenly smelled the ominous smell, so when Zhang Miao sent news that Lu Bu wanted to help Cao Cao attack Tao Qian, Xun Yu immediately asserted that Zhang Miao was going to join forces with Lu Bu to rebel.
When Xun Yu was actively preparing for war, the banner of rebellion was constantly being raised on the land of Yanzhou. Soon the flames of war burned to Zhencheng, and for a while, people were panicked, and Zhencheng was falling into a storm.
In Zhen Chengzhong, Xun Yu is positive, and Cheng Yu is the deputy, and the two are discussing and formulating countermeasures. Xun Yu is good at judging things, although Cheng Yu is not as good as Guo Jia, but he is also a good strategist second only to Guo Jia in Cao Ying, and the two worked out a set of combat plans overnight according to the analysis of both sides. The top priority was to be led by Xiahoudun to enter Zhencheng to defend, Xiahoudun was originally guarding Puyang, but Xun Cheng and Xun Cheng both saw that Xiahoudun was not Lu Bu's opponent, so they deceived Xiahoudun back to Zhencheng with a nice statement.
After Xiahou abandoned Puyang and entered Zhencheng, Xun Yu immediately gave Xiahoudun a list, which listed all the dangerous elements in Zhencheng, and Xiahoudun immediately ordered his subordinates to control all the people on the list to maintain internal stability.
After that, Cheng Yu went to defend Dong'a alone, and Xiahou and Xun Yu guarded Zhencheng, of course, this arrangement is also for a reason, Cao Cao's family is in Zhencheng, if he is taken captive, he will completely lose the ability to fight with the enemy for a long time, and he has to pay attention to it.
Soon, Yuzhou Assassin Guo Gong led tens of thousands of troops to the city, asking to meet Zhen Cheng City guard Xun Yu, Xun Yu heard this, immediately bathed and changed clothes, put on his own unique incense clothing, to see Guo Gong, Xiahou Tang saw this and hurriedly stopped: "Mr. stay, this is very dangerous to go to the enemy camp, if you have something, then Zhen Cheng is not guaranteed, you can't go!" When I go out of the city first, I will meet this Guo Gong child. ”
Xun Yu smiled indifferently and pulled Xiahoudun and said: "Guo Gong is in a hurry, in my opinion, at this time, I will not collude with Zhang Miao and Lu Bu, if I don't go this time, Guo Gong will definitely think that our side is weak, not as good as the city defense, Guo Gong will definitely drive troops to attack, at that time, even if we can defeat Guo Gong, but we will never be able to fight against Lu Bu and Zhang Miao, so I must go this time." Don't worry, Guo Gong won't dare to do anything to me this time. ”
Xiahoudun was silent when he heard this, of course he knew that Xun Yu was right, so he watched this suave Confucian gentleman elegantly walk into the land of tigers and wolves.
In fact, Guo Gong just wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, but seeing Xun Yu's indifferent face, he knew that Xun Yu must be prepared, so he led his troops back to Yuzhou.
Xun Yu was like a clever player, raising his hands and feet to keep a place for Cao Cao. Zhang Liang Linfan, is it easy to deal with? Yu Laojun has been cultivating for many years, and he is a little more free.
But Xun or thousands of calculations but still a place to tell, Lu Bu and Chen Gong occupied Puyang, did not catch Xiahoudun, just robbed its grain and grass, Lu Bu was very unwilling, could have been able to get rid of Yanzhou's military pillar at this time Xiahoudun, but the chess was a bad move, if Xiahoudun was slaughtered, Yanzhou would be able to be included in his arms.
Chen Gong sighed and smiled when he saw Lu Bu: "General don't worry, Xiahou Xiao'er, I have my own clever plan to kill him." ”
Lu Bu said with disdain when he heard this: "Xiahoudun is born brave, I don't dare to underestimate it, how dare the public station be so underestimated?" ”
Chen Gong said with a smile: "I calculated that Xiahoudun had a catastrophe recently, but it happened to make him fulfill, at this time, there is no person with advanced Dao Law around him, but I can set up a small array, and I can kill him with six points of certainty." ”
