In the big tent of Ji County, Cao Xiu listened to the news of being attacked by the Han army by the messenger sent by Zhu Guang in Xicheng to ask for help!

Cao Xiu waved his hand and said, "Ben will know about you and retreat and rest!" "The messenger exited.

General Xue Qiao said: "General, do you want the last general to concentrate troops to support Xicheng!" ”

Cao Xiu said calmly: "Don't worry, can two legs run more than four legs?" It's useless to rush now! Fighting with cavalry is the most taboo foot soldier chasing cavalry! Chase and chase and lose! A defeat is bound to be the annihilation of the whole army?

Send a messenger to give an order to Zhu Guang and teach him to shrink his defense and not to engage the thieves and cavalry head-on! Hold on to the fortress and the western city! The harvest of wheat can be postponed, and he should remember not to easily damage the soldiers and horses! ”

The partial general Zhang Pu was ordered to go to pass the order!

Xue Qiao continued to ask: "General, we just let the thief army run rampant and defend passively!" ”

Cao Xiu said lightly: "How can I let it go, our army is still unpopular, how to become an army!" Won't I, the general, be a waste! ”

Xue Qiaoxi said: "It turns out that the general has a plan again!" The last general is worried! ”

Cao Hong smiled and said: "If you can't catch up, you can set up an ambush and wait until they come, as long as you encounter a siege and annihilate them!" Order, immediately gather 10,000 soldiers and horses, the thief army to the west city, I will go to the hexagram! Look who's spent whom! Xue Qiao promised.

Cao Xiu stared at Xue Qiao and said, "General Xue, it's time for you to worry about it!" You and General Zhang Pu each went to personally order these 10,000 soldiers and horses!

Each person should bring a bow and a crossbow! At least 30 arrows per person and 20 crossbow bolts! The rest of the swords, guns, and armor must be in order! And bring 300 iron cables! I'll see it myself! If one person is missing, don't be a general, lead me to the horse! ”

Xue Qiao was stunned for a moment, and stammered: "Obey!" ”

Cao Xiu snorted: "General Xue is weak when he speaks!" How? Do you want to raise horses right now? ”

Xue Qiao hurriedly promised loudly! Then he asked carefully: "General, bringing you with more weapons is too much physical drain on the soldiers!" ”

Cao Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "The newly formed three thousand cavalry will join the battle together!" No one took twenty arrows first, and the rest was left to the horses! Distribute it when you go! ”

Xue Qiao hesitated: "...... the general of the cavalry participating in the battle?" ”

Cao Xiu interrupted: "I will inform the general!" All you have to do is gather your troops and horses, and then there will be a fierce battle! Xue Qiao was ordered to retire.

Cao Xiu wrote a letter and shouted: "Someone, send someone to send this letter to the general!" ”

In the direction of the upper hexagram, the original Shanggua City has been burned black, and only the stones are still standing! Cao Jun still uses Shanggua as a garrison and a grain collection center! After all, there are stone walls on all sides of the hexagram that can be used as barriers!

Cheng Ji adopted Jiang Wei's plan and attacked the east and west, Liang Ang, Oh He, and Shao Ge attacked Xicheng to mobilize Cao's army, and Cheng Ji, Huang Raid, Jiang Wei, Moth, and Vatong used the night to attack.

At the time of the third watch, there was a Cao army stronghold thirty miles south of the hexagram, and a haystack around it suddenly caught fire! Cao Jun, who was on duty near the stronghold, spotted the fire.

The leader said: "Send a few people to clean up the grass stalks around the haystack, so as not to burn on the wheat field!" Clean up the surroundings and the fire will go out on its own! ”

Cao Jun complained in his heart and got up and walked out of the stronghold to clean up. Suddenly, the upper echelons of Cao Jun shouted: "Why did the stronghold in the distance light a beacon fire?" It can't be that the haystack burns up, and our people misunderstand! ”

Even when he was shocked, he went up to inspect it, and sure enough, there were sparkling fires.

Shi Chang hurriedly called the two of them and said, "Hurry up and ride that horse to the fortress and Shanggua City to explain that there is no thief army, it is a fire!" Before we move our troops and horses, we must rush to explain clearly, otherwise we will all be dealt with by military law!

Forget it, I'll explain it myself, you stay behind! ”

There are no good horses, Cao Jun Shi Chang rode a horse pulling a cart, beating desperately, and went north on the horse!

Several Han soldiers not far from the stronghold could see clearly and sneaked back to meet Jiang Wei! Cao Jun didn't expect that the fire in the haystack dwarf area was not obvious, how could it easily ignite the warning beacon fire!

In fact, Jiang Wei calculated the location and built a beacon fire on a big tree in the middle of the two strongholds! The person who set the fire was an experienced Han soldier who controlled the fire according to the distance!

After successfully igniting the beacon fires in the rest of the strongholds, Jiang Wei extinguished the fire and sneaked into the wheat field! Rendezvous with the Han army that is monitoring the stronghold! Knowing that success led to Cao Jun's great joy! Let's go to meet the people of Chenggi!

After half an hour's effort, the Han army kept an eye on the people and horses, and the Cao army rushed around one stronghold after another to extinguish the beacon fire!

Cheng Ji was overjoyed and said: "Boyo, Cao Jun seems to have misunderstood!" ”

Jiang Wei said with a happy face: "After such a toss and then light the beacon fire, Cao Jun will think that the beacon fire ignited by the previous misunderstanding has not been extinguished!" We sneak into the wheat field, be sure to pull out the stronghold, and take down all the Cao troops who are harvesting the wheat field! ”

Cheng Ji then gave the order, and then under the cover of night, the Han army approached all the strongholds that had lit the beacon fire! The sparkling fires are lit, and no one cares! This is just the aftermath of a misunderstanding!

After dawn, Shi Chang, who had somehow become an accomplice, returned with his entourage! I don't want to be intercepted and captured alive at the stronghold on the return trip! So far, he still can't figure out whether the attack was real or not!

After assigning the task, everyone split up and pulled out the stronghold. Cheng Ji, Jiang Wei and others rushed ten miles away from Shanggua City. Jiang Wei pointed to a fortress in the distance and said to Cheng Ji and the others: "General Cheng, look, this fortress is ten miles away from Shanggua City!" It is not only a garrison point, but also a grain station!

Cao Jun's fort is built on a high place, the location is very good, there are slopes on three sides, the attack needs to be attacked, Cao Jun only needs to throw down the wood, rolling stones to obstruct, and then return fire with arrows is enough to make it difficult to move an inch! Behind the fort is the water source, which is very easy to get water! It's also fireproof! ”

Cheng Ji asked: "It is indeed a good place to stay!" But what if we blocked the water source and forced Cao's army to fight! ”

Jiang Wei explained: "If Cao Jun can set up such a fortress, he will definitely dig a well in it!" This place is close to the water source, and the water can be produced without digging a deep well! ”

Cheng Ji said: "Then we will ambush the Cao army who came out of the fort to cut wheat according to what was discussed before!" Hide in the grain truck and defeat Cao's army inside and outside! Now retreat! ”

Jiang Wei said earnestly: "General Cheng, let me tell you, in fact, not all of them are Cao Jun who go out of the fort to cut wheat, most of the wheat fields are requisitioned people, and Cao Jun promises to give them benefits and let them harvest on their behalf!"

Cao's army is mainly on guard, guarding grain, and monitoring the people! You see, the people are innocent, and I are one of the same people, so don't hurt them. They are all forced to do so! ”

Cheng Ji Zhengse said: "Don't worry, Boyo, you know the military law formulated by Zhuge Military Division, and you are not allowed to hurt innocent people!" ”

Looking back at the leader of Qiang Di behind him, Moth looked at Cheng Ji's appearance, knew what was going on, and promised: "General rest assured, we will restrain the tribal warriors!" But general, some people can't stop shouting when they run away when they see that you don't hurt them!

We can't afford to leak the news! Sometimes you can't blame us, let them stop running and run, they can't stop it, they can't stop it! ”

Cheng Yi also said to Jiang Wei: "The words of the moth blocking the leader are not wrong!" In this way, you and I will lead the Han cavalry to plug the leakage net, so that we can reduce accidental injuries! "Jiang Wei, thank you!

After dawn, Cao Jun began to go out of the fortress to harvest wheat fields, and was caught by the Han army! The battle went very smoothly, the Cao army had no defense of the stronghold, but the Han army surrounded the Cao army according to the stronghold, and the Cao army was captured! Five thousand people and one thousand Cao troops never left. All of them were taken to the wheat field to guard.

Cheng Ji interrogated the captives and found that all three brothers were in the army, which was a godsend!

Cheng Ji took the two younger brothers of Captain Cao Jun as hostages, promised a lot of profits, and asked the captain to deceive the fortress. Captain Cao Jun Wang Yan reluctantly agreed!

At noon, Jiang Wei and Huang attacked Wang Yan and led 500 people to drive the cart back to the fortress! The cart also hid 700 soldiers and horses! Wang Yan stepped forward to talk, the defenders of the fortress are familiar with the road, these days every day, without thinking too much, they sent someone to open the door!

Wang Yan paid attention to it, stretched out his tongue and moistened his chapped lips.

Jiang Wei next to him was very alert, he felt Wang Yan's nervousness, and glanced at Wang Yan! Cao Jun, who is capable to the rank of captain, is not low, and his family members are all in Cao Pi's jurisdiction. It's hard to do it if you repeat it!

Just when Wang Yan wanted to open his mouth, Jiang Wei rushed to throw Wang Yan off the horse, Jiang Wei turned his back to the fortress, put a knife against Wang Yan's chest and said in a low voice: "Do you want your two brothers to die!" No matter what you think now, now that you have deceived Cao Jun, you are already a traitor, the gate of the fortress is opening, and you have no way out!

You are a lieutenant in Cao Army, and you can do the same in our army! Your two younger brothers are rewarded together! After the deed is completed, I will ensure that your two younger brothers will be lieutenants, and you will be generals? ”

On the one hand, Wang Yan was overwhelmed by Jiang Wei's arrogance, coupled with coercion and temptation, he nodded silently!

On the fortress, Cao Jun asked what was going on? Wang Yan got up and replied, "My brother is playing with me!" It's okay! Brother, don't fool around! ”

Jiang Wei pressed the helmet and gave Wang Yan a helmet! The Han army next to him came over to cover Jiang Wei, so as not to see the flaws!

The gate of the fortress opened, and the Han army gradually entered! Half of the Han army entered, and Sima Qi, a Cao Junjun next to him, said: "Why are the brothers who are taking the grain face this time, and few of them know each other!" As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Han army became alert.

Jiang Wei shouted: "Kill!" "The Han army raided, poor that military Sima, was stabbed down by a shot, and he never thought that his words were reality! For a time, there was chaos in the fortress.

The Han army behind in the distance set the last few grain carts on fire! Seeing the signal, Cheng Yi led 5,000 cavalry to kill in two ways! Moth Shasai and others led 6,000 reinforcements to prevent the hexagram!

Losing the strong fortress of the fortress, the Cao army was unable to resist the cavalry, and the Han army surrounded the three queyi, leaving a way for the Cao army to retreat, and the Cao army had lost the will to resist when the cavalry arrived!

General Cao tried his best to prevent Cao's army from escaping from the fortress, and the prey of the cavalry in the cavalry command room in the wilderness, at least the cavalry in the fortress was restricted by space, and could not gallop, and there was still room for resistance! It's a pity that only the hundreds of people around him obeyed, and the rest of the Cao army fled out! The Cao army in the fort was completely annihilated!

After the annihilation of the fortress, Cheng Ji, Jiang Wei and others began to plot against the five thousand Cao troops in the city! Because when attacking the fortress, the Cao army in the village released wolf smoke to warn, and I think that the Cao army should get the news!

The moth covered the report and found out the hexagram to get ready, but the army was delayed! Cheng Ji took the captives to the fortress to be guarded! The people gave wheat and silver and gold and gave them back.

Cheng Ji led 10,000 soldiers and horses to advance directly with great fanfare, pulled out all the Cao army strongholds along the way, and the troops were escorted to Hexagram City!
