Chapter 367: Anticipate the Enemy's Opportunity

When Zhang Xiu was in a hurry, Gan Ning took off another halberd and hit his mount hard, right on the door of his head.

The war horse neighed, fell to the ground with a bang, and lifted Zhang Xiu off the horse, and without waiting for Gan Ning to make a move, several Jinfan soldiers rushed up and hacked Zhang Xiu to death.

"Alas, it's a pity!" Gan Ning packed up his weapon and shook his head: "Catch it alive!" ”

One person scolded: "Such a despicable old thief, he should have died ten years ago, he didn't obediently care for the elderly at home, and tried in vain to kill the general and become famous again, I'm sorry!" ”

Gan Ning's whole army came to fight again, at this time Le Jin was also stopped by Chen Zhi, seeing that Zhang Xiu and Cao Xi were killed, and the Han army on both sides besieged him, he knew that the general trend had gone, and struggled to break through the siege.

The general was killed, the Cao army collapsed without a fight, and Gan Ning and other generals followed, covering and killing in three ways, unstoppable.

Le Jin returned to the camp in embarrassment, shouted at the defenders to open the door, jumped over the camp gate on horseback, and shouted: "Close the door, the whole army ......"

Puff –

Before the words fell, suddenly the horse stumbled, and it turned out that there was a stumbling rope hidden behind the camp gate, and even the men and horses rolled forward.

Cao Jun who followed behind was shocked, some people fled for their lives, and some people stepped forward to help, but they saw the random arrows in the camp, shooting down countless people, and Cao Jun screamed and fell to the ground.

Le Jin was smashed to the ground, got up in embarrassment, and saw that the defenders actually fired arrows at the deserters, and shouted: "Stop, blind your dog's eyes? ”

"Hahaha, you're blind, right?"

Suddenly, a person behind him laughed, and when he turned his head, he saw that countless Han troops were surrounded.

Le Jin was shocked, sat on the ground, and asked in surprise: "Who are you?" ”

"I am the Han general Huo Jun is also!" The man raised his knife and sneered: "You think you have a plan, but you didn't expect it to be what Kong Ming expected, we have been waiting for a long time!" ”

At this time, Gan Ning and others had already led the troops to the front of the camp, and the Cao army had no way to advance or retreat, scattered and fled for their lives, and countless people surrendered.

Le Jin's head was blank at this time, and he really couldn't figure out why he was obviously winning, but he was defeated in a daze, and he also lost the Mopi camp.

Seeing this situation, he sighed gloomily, and was about to draw his sword to kill himself, but Huo Jun sent troops forward, tied him up, and escorted him to the Yexian camp.

Gan Ning saw the Han army in the camp and said in amazement: "What is the situation?" ”

Guan Ping stepped forward and hugged his fists and said with a smile: "The military advisor had already expected that the Cao army would send troops to ambush, so he used the strategy of luring the snake out of the hole, General Gan attracted the defenders here, and waited for the defenders to come to besiege, but took advantage of the weakness to attack the camp. We will come to the rescue later, and completely defeat the Cao army here. ”

Gan Ning touched the stubble on his face, secretly praised Kong Ming's plan, but frowned and said: "In this way, the military advisor can't use us as bait?" ”

Guan Ping said: "This battle is extremely dangerous, my father was supposed to go out in person, but he was worried that Cao Jun would be suspicious, and in addition, the general of the full camp could not be this great task." ”

Gan Ning looked up to the sky and laughed, so he didn't care, led the troops to the camp to rest, and carefully asked Zhuge Liang about Zhuge Liang's plan with Guan Ping, not wanting him to even count the ambush of the Cao army, and all the generals were impressed.

……

In Kunyang City, Zhang Liao saw that Guan Yu had sent troops to harass various places many times, and his heart became more and more uneasy, and he asked Jia Xu several times for advice, but only told him to brake quietly.

Yesterday, the Malay newspaper reported that Guan Yu divided his troops to attack Mopi, Zhang Liao felt faintly uneasy in his heart, but he wanted to enter the camp with pleasure, and Zhang Xiu set up an ambush in Lushan, and he would be able to kill the invading soldiers.

Early in the morning, he sent troops to continue to inquire about the news, and heard that Gan Ning's troops were trapped under the Lu Mountain, Guan Yu sent troops to support, and Zhang Liao was also ready to send troops.

Jia Xu said: "Guan Yu divided his troops to attack and disturb several times, but he saw that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, so he did it deliberately. ”

Zhang Liao hurriedly said: "Guan Yu divides his troops to support, I am afraid that the second general will be difficult to resist, and he will fall short." ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Even if you can't defeat Gan Ning, you can let the Han army return home, and you won't dare to easily violate the border, and the defensive position will remain unchanged." If the general sends troops, I am afraid that there are ambushes along the road, and Guan Yu will come to attack Kunyang, but he will be in chaos. ”

In the evening, the defeated army fled back suddenly, reporting that Zhang Xiu and Cao Xi had been killed, and the Han army attacked the Mopi camp, Lejin was captured, and the defenders were almost wiped out.

Zhang Liao was shocked: "This ...... How can it be? ”

Jia Xu tugged at his beard and was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Wolong really lives up to its reputation, it was I who killed General Zhang!" ”

Zhang Liao hurriedly said: "Mopi can't be lost, send troops to save it as soon as possible." ”

"Don't be reckless!" Jia Xu frowned, he didn't know much about Zhuge Liang, he only treated it as Liu Qi and others, but he didn't expect this person to have such a deep plan, and he became more and more cautious.

Zhang Liao paused and said: "If you don't take back this place, Guan Yu will attack Yingchuan from Lushan and go north in a roundabout way!" The emptiness in Yuzhou will be like the water that bursts the embankment, and it will be out of control. ”

Jia Xu thought for a long time and sighed: "To save or not to save, we have fallen into a passive situation: if you save it, there will be ambush soldiers to intercept it, and Guan Yu's army will arrive later, and if you don't save it, the territory will be in danger." At this time, there is only a decisive battle. ”

Zhang Liao was shocked: "Mr. has been seeking stability, why is he desperate at this time?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Kong Ming sent troops in several ways, it seems to disturb the enemy, but in fact, it is a strange coincidence, if there is a breakthrough all the way, as the general said, it will be like an ant breaking the embankment, and the consequences are unpredictable!" At this time, the only way to raise the strength of the whole army is to kill Guan Yu, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will be like rootless duckweed, retreating without a fight. ”

Zhang Liao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "How sure is Sir?" ”

Zhang Xiu died in battle, Le Jin was captured, the situation became more and more dangerous, and if the confrontation continued, the defense line would collapse sooner or later.

Jia Xu raised his cloudy eyes, couldn't see the joy and anger, and said lightly: "The victory or defeat is not only in the people's strategy, but also in the ability of the general. ”

Zhang Liao's heart sank, and he looked at Jia Xu with a complicated expression, Cao Cao left this person in Xuchang to help him retreat from the enemy, and before the decisive battle, he said such depressing words?

Jia Xu seemed to be still immersed in the grief of Zhang Xiu's killing, and sighed: "If the general is ambushed in Lushan, Gan Ning will definitely die." If Gan Ning is defeated, there is music to enter the camp, how can Zhuge Liang's plan succeed? ”

Zhang Liao sighed secretly, thinking about the decisive battle of Guandu, how strong the Yuan army was, and he had never felt so powerless, the whole army was high-spirited and recovered Hebei, what kind of ambition was that?

The battle of White Wolf Mountain, slaughtered Wuhuan, stabilized the north, and since then the prestige has been greatly shaken, the generals are like clouds, and the strategists are like rain, and they have the potential to sweep the south of the Yangtze River and dominate the world.

The root cause of everything is that after Liu Qi's rise, the battle of Nanyang made Cao's army lose its troops and lose its morale, and the situation was just like the defeat of Yuan Shaoguandu, and the whole battalion lost its vigor and became lifeless.

Now that Cao Cao is far away from Mobei, Cao's army is facing the enemy on all sides, the people and horses are stretched, and the situation has turned so quickly, could it be that this is the truth that prosperity must decline?

Putting away his messy thoughts, he asked, "The military advisor said that he was going to fight a decisive battle, could it be that he confronted Guan Yu head-on?" ”

"Definitely!" Jia Xu also restrained his mind, pulled his beard and said: "I look at Kong Ming's strategy, it is to anticipate the enemy's opportunity, and he is competing for the first step by step, and he is clever in his strategy, and I should break it with clumsiness." ”

Zhang Liao was confused when he heard it: "I don't know what countermeasures Mr. has?" ”

Jia Xu said lightly: "Immediately send troops to capture Mopi." ”

"Troops again?" Zhang Liao was a little annoyed in his heart, wasn't he farting in the conversation just now?
