Chapter 323: Three Strategies of Heaven and Man
Han Hao received Wang Kuang's order, led his subordinates out of Licheng, and crossed in front of the army that saw only torches but couldn't see people clearly.
The sound of horses' hooves came from afar.
Han Hao held down the spear in his hand and ordered the army to line up to meet each other.
"It's coming!" He shouted.
The night was dark, and Han Hao was worried that it was really Cao Cao, so he didn't shoot his feet with arrows.
Several riders coming from the front slowed down when they heard the sound and stopped more than ten steps in front of Han Hao.
"But General Cao? I am engaged in Han Hao under the command of the prince of the palace, and I am ordered to meet you here! Han Hao shouted loudly.
He had tried very hard to see, but the other party had only fired three or five torches, and he could see the general outline, but he could never see the faces of the visitors. As a last resort, Han Hao had no choice but to test the other party's identity in this way.
"It turned out to be Han Zheng, I have already heard of your name, you are really condescending to follow Wang Kuang, follow me in the future!" Cao Cao walked forward slowly and said loudly.
Han Hao was speechless for a moment, this person hadn't figured out who it was, he was actually digging the foot of the wall.
However, after Cao Cao rode forward a few more steps, he finally saw clearly.
There is no doubt that the person who came was indeed Cao Cao.
"Someone, go and tell the two princes, Cao Cao has arrived with his army!" Han Hao gave an order to his subordinates.
"Whoa!"
After his subordinates took the order and left, Han Hao also broke away from his own formation and faced Cao Cao.
"General Cao, please wait a minute, I have sent someone to inform Liu Dai and Wang Kuang, and when I learned that the general had arrived with his army, the two princes had already been waiting in the city." Han Hao said.
Cao Cao pretended to be displeased and said, "Two cowardly bastards, since they have already learned that I am coming, why don't they go out of the city to greet them?" Instead, they hid in the city and waited, were they afraid that my Cao Cao would be unfavorable to them? β
Han Hao politely and politely explained, "It's the general who came too late. β
"Nonsense, the moon and stars are scarce, what is late? It's clearly on your beware of me! Cao Cao snorted lightly.
Han Hao: ......
He looked at it and could barely tell where the sky was and where was the earth, and he couldn't help but be speechless.
can talk nonsense with his eyes open to such a reasonable point, and he can be regarded as a talent.
"General Cao really misunderstood." Han Hao said helplessly.
Cao Cao's nonsense made him not know what to say.
"What do you think of my proposal? Follow me later! Cao Cao looked at Han Hao and suddenly said very sincerely.
As early as Yanzhou, Cao Cao knew about Han Hao.
It's just that before he had time to make a move, Wang Kuang was defeated and retreated to Jizhou.
Later, I heard that Yuan Shu had also recruited Han Hao as a cavalry captain, but he was unsuccessful.
Tonight's Licheng is destined to turn into a Shura field, and Cao Cao doesn't want such a talent to die here, so he uses this somewhat inopportune situation to solicit him in this way.
"The general is in love, and I don't want to change my course for the time being." Han Hao politely rejected Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was a little regretful, "So...... Well, I have a place for you at any time, and if you change your mind that day, you can come and I will set up a banquet for you. β
"Thank you, General, for your love!" Han Hao said.
"Don't wait for them, let's go into town. Han Zhen should have no opinion, right? Cao Cao looked around and said.
Han Hao staggered, "General Cao, please!" β
Cao Cao waved his hand forward, and the scouts on the side immediately danced the torches, signaling the flames.
The mighty army moved in an instant and walked towards the city of Leigh.
Sun Guan, who was hiding in the army, saw this and whispered to Lu You, "If you don't do it at this time, what is Cao Mengde going to do?" β
Lu You persuaded: "After entering the city, you will do it, although this place is not far from the city gate, it is still not safe." If the enemy reacts, there is plenty of time to close the gates. Or listen to Cao Cao, he was in danger and walked in front, what are we worried about? β
Although Sun Guan was not angry with Cao Cao, he temporarily suppressed the unhappiness in his heart when he heard this.
Cao Cao only took a few horses in front of him, and he was personally involved in danger, and he really couldn't find anything wrong with this.
Han Hao took Cao Cao and just walked into the city gate, and Liu Dai and Wang Kuang, who got the message, also happened to come down from the city wall.
"I've seen General Cao!" Wang Kuang smiled and arched his hand, "Why did the general come here in the starry night?" β
"I didn't arrive before dark, and I didn't want to set up camp in the wilderness, so I had to come to the two of you to eat and drink in the starry night." Cao Cao talked and laughed freely and said to Wang Kuang.
"Brother Cao is still so funny and humorous!" Liu Dai stepped forward and said, "We have prepared thin wine for Brother Cao, please!" β
At this time, Cao Cao suddenly stopped, sighed lightly, and said: "This wine, let's go underground and drink with the two of you after a hundred years, today, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it." β
Liu Dai's heart suddenly became alert and asked, "Brother Cao, what do you mean by this?" β
"It doesn't mean anything else, it's just that I don't like to send people under the fence, so I'm bothering the two of you to give me this city first!" Cao Cao tugged on the reins, quickly took a step back, and shouted, "Don't kill at this time, but when!" β
Hearing this shout, Sun Guan, who had just led the army through the doorway, instantly rushed out first.
After that, the soldiers and horses moved with a loud shout, and followed Sun Guan into the city.
Liu Dai and Wang Kuang were caught off guard and hurriedly led the army to retreat.
Han Hao also wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first, and go to chase and kill Cao Cao, but was hurriedly recruited back by Wang Kuang, who was worried about his safety.
The gates of the city were in chaos in an instant.
Cao Cao, who had already retreated to the city gate, watched the mighty Xuzhou army under the leadership of Sun Guan rush into the city with a shout, and said to Xu Shu, who was holding a spear beside him and looked mighty, "This is the style of thieves, the slogans are messy, but they feel very majestic!" β
"This is the case with untrained soldiers and horses, the downwind battle is like a tiger, but they can't afford the test of any headwind battle!" Xu Shu echoed and whispered to Cao Cao, "The general should also shout a few times to strengthen his momentum." δΉε«εθ§γεη±δΊδΊΊεΎη₯ζ们δΎζ§ε¨θΏιοΌε₯½ζζΆδ»δ»¬ηηθγ β
"Why not." Cao Cao responded quickly.
Then he roared with a knife: "Hurry up, kill the enemy general, and reward a thousand gold!" β
"Kill! Procrastinating, the old women at the entrance of your village are all faster than the pace of waiting! β
"Get into the city!"
After shouting twice, he suddenly sighed to Xu Shu, "In the past, he led the army to rush and kill, and the shouting went naturally." This suddenly made me pretend to shout, and I didn't know what to shout, which is quite strange. β
"General, this is the reason why some people stumble and look unnatural when they tell a lie!" Xu Shu said.
Cao Cao was amused when he heard it, "Hey, I like your explanation." So, I know why! β
After speaking, he shouted again, "Kill the general and capture the flag, you can be a general!" β
"Those who capture and kill Liu Dai and Wang Kuang will be rewarded with tens of thousands of family assets! Hold on to your weapons and kill me!" β
After shouting twice, he said to Xu Shu again: "This time, I feel much better." β
Xu Shu: ......
Sun Guan, who was rushing to kill in front, turned his head to look at Cao Cao, who was cowering and hiding under the doorway, and smiled disdainfully, "You Cao Mengde is the number one person, but you still need to see my grandson to kill in battle!" β
At this time, half of the army had entered the city, and Sun Guan no longer had any doubts, and led his troops to chase Liu Dai and Wang Kuang straight to the north of the city.
"Let Cao Ren lead the troops into the city!" Cao Cao saw that Xuzhou was almost complete, and instructed the scout.
"Whoa!"
Cao Ren took 500 elites from Xiyuan, as well as 3,000 soldiers and horses collected by Cao Cao in Langya, carrying a large amount of fire oil and other combustion-supporting materials, and only after the Xuzhou soldiers entered the city were almost complete.
While killing the enemy, they quickly sprinkled fire oil.
Not for the purpose of killing the enemy, they opened the way with five hundred West Garden elites, and they moved very fast.
After less than an hour, Cao Ren led the army back back.
"Block the city gate and order Ma Chao to block the north city gate!" Cao Cao decisively ordered.
The army quickly withdrew from the city and blocked the gates with wagons and stones outside.
When Cao Ren led the army to sprinkle fire oil, although many Xuzhou soldiers noticed it, as allies, they didn't think much about it, and most of them thought that Cao Cao's subordinates had the habit of killing people and setting fires.
Therefore, until the city gate was blocked, Ma Chao also guarded outside the north city gate, Sun Guan and Lu You were still in the dark, and they were still chasing and killing Liu Dai and Wang Kuang, the two enemy generals, all over the city.
"The wind is coming from the east, General, change positions!" Xu Shu plucked a few horsehair and held them in his hand, looked at the direction of the wind and said to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao bowed his head and ordered Cao Ren to move to the southeast corner.
A moment later, thousands of arrows from outside the city were fired, illuminating the city like a meteor.
The raging fire, aided by the oil, burned almost instantly.
Cao Cao ordered his own soldiers to bring up the incense candles and paper he had prepared a long time ago, as well as a whole basket of sacrifices.
"Those who want to go line up, don't blame me when you go underground, each for its own master, death and injury are inevitable, you should understand." Cao Cao lit the pile of candles with a wooden stick, and said with words in his mouth.
On the side, Cao Ren was still releasing arrows into the city one after another, while Cao Cao was burning paper on the side to pay tribute.
This is a bizarre scene, and Xu Shu's eyes straightened when he saw it.
"General Cao, what is this doing?" He couldn't help but ask.
While killing people and paying tribute, this scene looks really a little weird that can't be explained.
"I haven't been sleeping very well lately, and I suspect it's because I've killed too much, and I'm being remembered. Burn some coils for them, send some sacrifices, so that they can live underground in peace, and don't provoke me again! Cao Cao said.
"Before, I didn't scoff at it, but I didn't take it very seriously. But Your Majesty's sentence of 100,000 Banner Killing Yama is really a bit scary, you must not know that Your Majesty knows something that others don't know, right? β
Xu Shumulan shook his head.
He felt a strong shock to his soul.
"I tell you these things, and you must not say them. Your Majesty...... Extraordinary people, it is very likely that the upper and lower are connected to the sky, and the lower to the ground! Cao Cao said mysteriously.
This sentence made Xu Shu's jaw almost drop, "Is what the general said...... Three strategies of heaven and man? β
He wanted to say that half of it was fake, and he couldn't believe it all.
"You think I don't know that? It's understandable that you don't believe it, but, I've seen it! Cao Cao said solemnly.
Xu Shu: !!
Ever seen?!
