In the battle of Huangmen Pavilion, Cao Ren's entire army was annihilated.

None of the 5,000 men and horses escaped alive, and they were all wiped out.

Shen Chen is doing his best to ensure that history is still moving towards its course.

In fact, Shen Chen was not afraid to change history.

If a time-traveler thinks about the course of history all the time, but once it changes a little bit due to the butterfly effect, it immediately becomes blind, then what kind of time-traveler is it?

Countless advanced knowledge in later generations have been learned in vain, and the nine-year compulsory education and high school and college have also been studied in vain, so what is the difference between that and waste?

It's just that when he was in Xuzhou, he wanted to change history, but he couldn't do anything. When I came to Jingzhou, I couldn't change anything.

Only this time, killing Cao Ren changed history, but at the same time he had to hide the news of Cao Ren's death, so that Cao Cao could continue to follow the historical process, and there was a great defeat in Wancheng.

Because only in this way can he take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of it, and when the time comes, he will take the initiative to attack, like a hungry wolf hibernating, and launch a fierce onslaught against the sick lion.

So at this moment, not to mention that Huangmen Pavilion is seventy or eighty kilometers away from Wancheng, and it takes a day to ride a horse, even if it is very close, unless Cao Cao takes the initiative to send someone to investigate, no one will go back to report this.

Shen Chen is now waiting for news, his army is currently stationed in Huangmen Pavilion, and after cleaning up the mess, he has sent soldiers, pretending to be ordinary people, and has gone to Wancheng and Jianyang and other places to inquire about the news.

And when Zhang Xiu learned that Cao Cao was about to find an excuse to kill him, he immediately began to secretly make preparations for a raid on Cao's military camp according to Jia Xu's arrangement.

Cao Cao came out of the courtyard of Madame Zou on the morning of the second day, sent someone to find a carriage, and drove himself and Madame Zou back to his camp in the north of the city.

The 30,000-strong army is now led by Cao Ren to attack Huyang, and Le Jin is led by 3,000 people to attack Anzhong, so at this time, Cao Cao still has more than 20,000 horses.

And more than 20,000 horses are divided into three camps, showing the trend of corners, and the distance between them is two or three miles.

The front is Cao Hong's camp, with a total of 5,000 people, and in the middle is Cao Cao's main camp, with more than 10,000 people, and behind is Yu Ban's soldiers and horses.

After Cao Cao took Mrs. Zou into his camp, he was quite happy and mixed up all day long.

After waiting for two days, in the early morning of this day, Cao Cao's legs and feet were weak and he got up, and Dian Wei suddenly came to report outside, saying that it was Hu Che'er, a general under Zhang Xiu, who came to defect.

"Oh?"

Knowing this, Cao Cao said, "Let him come in." ”

Hu Che'er is tall and mighty, only inferior to Dian Wei, although he doesn't know how his martial arts are, but just looking at his mighty appearance, Cao Cao still likes it very much.

After a while, Hu Che'er came in, knelt down on one knee and said, "Hu Che'er has seen Cao Gong." ”

"Hurry up."

In the tent, Cao Cao sat on the main seat, raised his hands in a false position, motioned for him to get up, and asked, "What is the matter with General Hu coming to my camp?" ”

"Forehead ......"

Hu Che'er stood up, seemed a little embarrassed, and said, "Although the villain is a subordinate of General Zhang, he is loyal to the imperial court. In the past two days, I saw that the general had been drinking all day long, and he had spoken disrespectfully to Cao Gong, so he dissuaded him, but he did not expect him to beat and scold me, and said ......"

"What did he say?"

Cao Cao asked.

"Say...... He said that Gong Cao gave me gold and silver that day, and he must have been wooing me, and he also said that I had already rebelled and wanted to drive me out of the barracks. ”

Hu Che'er hesitated: "The villain argued with reason, but General Zhang was angry, threw a halberd at me, and ordered the soldiers to hold me. Fortunately, I am athletic, and most of the soldiers are old friends, so I didn't die to arrest me, otherwise I might not be able to escape in front of Cao Gong. Now the villain has nowhere to go, so he has to come to Cao Gong. ”

"I see, that embroidery is just a fool, and An can recognize the real hero."

Cao Cao has long liked Hu Che'er Kong Wu Li, and when he saw him falling out with Zhang Xiu, he was overjoyed and said: "You came to me, this is called abandoning the dark and turning to the bright." In this way, you will be under my account, first be a qu army, and when it has made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, I will promote you. ”

Hu Che'er hurriedly said: "Thank you Cao Gong, but the villain has long heard that General Dian is very brave, and the villain admires it in his heart, so he is willing to listen to the errand under the account of Dian Jun." ”

"Oh?"

Cao Cao thought for a while, and then said, "Then you can be a deputy general for Dian Wei's account." ”

"Thank you, Gong Cao."

Hu Che'er bowed his head and looked happy.

Looking at his appearance, Cao Cao stroked his beard slightly, happy in his heart.

In fact, when Hu Che'er first came to vote, Cao Cao still had doubts.

But when he had a conflict with Zhang Xiu, his subordinates were going to vote, and he was afraid that there would be fraud.

But then I thought about it, Hu Che'er is just a person, even if he comes to vote, what can he do?

Assassinate him?

Dian Wei is close to protect at twelve o'clock, although Hu Che'er is brave, can he fight Dian Wei?

What's more, now Hu Che'er has been incorporated into the Praetorian Guard again.

Dian Wei was the leader of his personal guards, and around his tent, there were nearly a thousand close guards, and Cao Cao traveled every day, at least dozens or hundreds of soldiers guarded him.

Moreover, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the entire camp, let alone assassinating him, it is impossible to even approach him for no reason.

Therefore, after a little thought, he knew that Hu Che'er should be sincere in his vote, not a fraud.

Otherwise, what would he do?

You can't be here to steal, right?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao smiled and said, "Okay, you go down first, and let Dian Wei arrange the camp patrol for you." ”

"The villain quits."

Hu Che'er retreated and was incorporated into the Praetorian Guard under the command of Dian Wei.

Here Cao Cao was happy to get Hu Che'er, and Zhang Xiu also pretended to be drunk every day to paralyze Cao Cao, but secretly actively mobilized troops and prepared to fight back.

Due to the extreme disparity in strength between him and Cao's army, and Cao Cao's hostility towards him, Jia Xu believed that action must be swift.

At least for a short time, Cao Cao had to be caught off guard by a sudden attack before he even knew it.

Therefore, in the past two days, Zhang Xiu sent Hu Che'er to infiltrate the Cao camp to investigate the internal structure of the Cao camp, and at the same time, he also actively peeped outside, often sending people to pretend that people passed by near the Cao army camp and secretly observed outside.

On the third day, Cao Cao sent someone to hand over the letter to Zhang Xiu, who pretended to be drunk, and Jia Xu invited Cao Cao's envoy to come in and take a look, and then accepted the letter.

After Jia Xu sent away Cao Cao's envoy and returned to the camp, Zhang Xiu suddenly came to his senses, turned over and got up from the seat and asked, "Uncle, how is it?" ”

"It's been sent away."

Jia Xu threw the bamboo slip letter in his hand on the table.

Zhang Xiu took the letter, threw the bamboo slip after reading it, and scolded: "Is this Cao thief fooling me for a fool?" ”

The letter said that he had a misunderstanding with Zhang Xiu, and said that he was just meeting Mrs. Zou that day to discuss things, and asked Zhang Xiu not to think too much, Cao Cao was going to hold a banquet tomorrow to entertain Zhang Xiu, and let him go to Cao Jun's military camp.

"General, don't be in a hurry."

Jia Xu had already read this letter on the way back just now, and knew that Zhang Xiu would be angry, so he said: "This shows that Cao Cao has planned to get rid of the general tomorrow, but he doesn't know that we are already going to raise troops, so tonight is the most unprepared time for him, and it is a good time for us to start." ”

Zhang Xiu suddenly cheered up and said, "Uncle, will you do it tonight?" ”

"Hmm."

Jia Xu's eyes flickered, and he nodded slightly: "If we don't do it again, we will be in danger, because Cao Cao will definitely choose to send troops to attack our military camp directly." ”

In fact, if there is a choice, Jia Xu is really unwilling to do it.

Cao Cao is powerful and has the orthodoxy of the Son of Heaven, and opposing him is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

But there was no way, he was now tied to Zhang Xiu's chariot.

Zhang Xiu was staring at him, if he wanted to leave the Xiliang Army barracks, Zhang Xiu would definitely kill him.

So he couldn't go.

And Cao Cao is going to kill Zhang Xiu now, and he will definitely not delay it, if Zhang Xiu can't resign, Cao Cao will inevitably be suspicious.

At that time, the worst outcome would be that Cao Cao would directly send a large army to attack their camp.

At that time, in the midst of the chaos, he is a scribe, and it is very likely that he will die inside.

So Jia Xu could only be forced to launch a plan again - chaotic force!

How similar is this to when I was in Chang'an?

It's a scary.

It's all about survival.

Compared with other people's lives, it is still your own life that is more important.

Isn't it?

Soon.

It was dark, and it was the middle of the night.

Outside Cao's camp, a bird's cry suddenly sounded.

The Qiang people of Xiliang are the best at imitating the sound of birds, and there are Qiang people in Zhang Xiu's Xiliang army.

At this time, he was drinking with Hu Che'er in the tent.

His camp was very close to Cao Cao's camp, after all, he usually didn't sleep with Cao Cao, and after the day was over, he had to go back to the camp to sleep at night.

As a result, before going to bed, Hu Che'er suddenly came over with a few jars of wine, saying that it was a strong wine from Nanyang, and this wine could not be drunk by non-heroes.

Knowing that it was a strong liquor, Dian Wei suddenly became interested, he was a good drinker, and soon began to drink bitterly.

"There's a lot of generals."

Hu Che'er praised while his eyes were about to fill up again.

Dian Wei laughed and said, "This wine is indeed a bit interesting, compared to it, the wine I used to drink was like water." ”

"Yes, when I was in Xiliang, I had never seen such spirits."

Hu Che'er said: "I only heard that this is a good wine produced in Xinye, and many soldiers under Zhang Xiu who are good at drinking in Xiliang don't believe it, and they get drunk one after another, but the general has a good amount of wine, and he can drink it better than our Xiliang people." ”

Dian Wei was very happy when he got the praise, picked up the wine glass and drank another glass, put it down and wiped the wine stained on the beard next to his mouth, patted his chest and said, "That is, in our hometown, no one can drink and drink me." ”

"The general is coming again, there has been no war recently, let go of the booze, this wine has left Nanyang, and it will be difficult to drink it in the future."

Hu Che'er refilled his cup again.

"Really?"

Dian Wei lost himself in Hu Che'er's massive praise, and drank another glass and said, "Then you have to take the opportunity to drink a few more glasses." ”

Then he began to dry again and again, and soon drank three or four catties of liquor of more than 50 degrees.

His whole person was about to start floating, his eyes were foggy, and he saw that Hu Che'er seemed to have become two, and then four, and his voice in his ears to persuade him to drink was much quieter.

"General, general?"

Hu Che'er was about to continue to persuade him to drink, but when he saw Dian Wei staggering, after the last cup was down, the wine glass in his hand slipped to the ground, so he gently pushed it.

In the next second, he fell headlong on the table, his mouth opened and closed, snoring like thunder, and he fell asleep.

"Chirp!"

The sound of birds outside came, and Hu Che'er saw the eighty catties of halberds placed by Dian Wei in the tent, so he immediately went up and picked it up, and his strength was also very great, and he could carry five hundred catties, so he lifted it easily.

After stealing the halberd, Hu Che'er calmly walked out of Dian Wei's tent, at this time he was Dian Wei's deputy general, and the surrounding patrol guards saw him and had to salute.

It's just that Dian Wei's double halberd is known to the whole army, and he is swaggering through the market with his weapon, for fear that it will attract people's attention.

So Hu Che'er stole the halberd and didn't dare to wander around the barracks, but ran to his tent as soon as possible, he secretly dug a pit in his tent and threw the halberd in it and buried it.

After a while, he feigned patrolling the camp and headed north to the edge of the camp, his throat stirring and the crisp sound of birds.

"Goo-goo!"

The sound was transmitted outside, and the birdsong outside stopped.

waited until he confirmed that his companion had received the news, and then Hu Che'er wandered back to his tent as if he was fine.

The Qiang people who reported the news outside received the information and immediately rushed back to Zhang Xiu's military camp to return.

"Hu Che'er has succeeded?"

Zhang Xiu asked.

The Qiang replied, "Yes." ”

"Okay."

Zhang Xiu was overjoyed and said: "The time has come, start the army today, pass on my order, and the whole army will raid." ”

"Yui!"

The herald immediately went to deliver the order.

The entire Xiliang military camp was boiling in an instant, and the troops coming and going shuttled, ready to go.

According to Jia Xu's strategy, Zhang Xiu personally led the dead man to touch it in the middle of the night.

It is definitely not possible for a large number of troops to kill Cao Ying directly, because it is night, and if a large force lights a torch, it will definitely not be able to hide it.

But if you don't light torches, it's hard to march.

The Xiliang army is a long distance away from the Cao army camp, and thousands of soldiers will become headless flies.

The most important thing is that Cao Cao is not stupid, in addition to the strong defense inside the camp, there are also many sentry posts on the periphery.

That is, they had already reconnoitred the location of these sentry posts before, and with Hu Che'er as an internal response, the Qiang people who went to inform Hu Che'er could come to the outside of Cao's military camp.

Otherwise, without these preparations, even if Zhang Xiu launched a sudden attack, the soldiers of the Cao army would have been able to react quickly.

Even if it is a few miles away, it can blow the horn and send a signal to Cao Ying, thus exposing this operation.

Therefore, Zhang Xiu is also very glad that he has a wise man like Jia Xu by his side to help him.

Soon, Zhang Xiu led the guards to Cao Ying.

The positions of the sentry posts on the periphery were marked one by one, it was late at night, and even the sentries were drowsy and their vigilance was very low.

According to Zhang Xiu's instructions before, the guards quietly solved a large number of peripheral posts and approached the edge of Cao Ying.

"Let the army come over!"

After disposing of those sentry posts, Zhang Xiu immediately gave an order.

After half an hour, the army of the Xiliang Army, which was waiting outside, had quickly assembled, and the torches were connected into a long dragon and rushed towards Cao Ying.
