Chapter 120 Clever Layout, Sneak Attack!
Cao Cao was scolded by Lin Mo's thief and Wenwen, and fainted in the school field, but he still relied on Dian Wei to carry him back to Sikong Mansion.
Even so, it was still unconscious, and the imperial doctor shook his head again and again after seeing it, saying that the situation was not optimistic.
This matter spread throughout Xuchang City for a while.
The people closed the door as a conversation after tea and dinner, and the old ministers of the imperial party held a celebration banquet overnight, celebrated greatly, and blessed Cao Cao with the best sleep without waking up, and even Liu Xie happily knelt in the temple and cried.
Lin Mo, whose name has become a demon-level existence in Xuchang City within half a day, is full of curiosity about this young man who has never met before.
can scold Cao Cao with a single article, he is unconscious, and even the imperial doctor is helpless, what kind of person is he?
It was night, in Sikong Mansion, in Cao Cao's bedroom, Cao Cao was lying on the couch, angry, and with a bridle tied on his forehead to relieve the pain, but the effect did not seem to be great.
Dian Wei stood at the door to guard, and the outer room of the bedroom was full of maids and subordinates, they didn't dare to leave, they were afraid that Cao Cao would need to be greeted when he woke up.
Inside, Cao Ang, who had not recovered from his old injuries, sat quietly on the side and looked at Cao Cao, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Cao Ang, who started killing people at the age of fourteen, has never had a trace of fear, even in a desperate situation like Wancheng.
In fact, if he is sensible, he doesn't know what fear is, and he is a young man who has collapsed in front of Mount Tai and his color has not changed.
Cao Cao's favorite and most valued quality is also this.
But at this moment, he deeply understood what it meant to be restless.
He was afraid, afraid that Cao Cao would really get sick, how could he dare to clean up this huge mess.
In the past, Cao Cao didn't have a headache, but at most he screamed in pain, his face turned blue, and he would get better in a few days.
But this time is different, this time, even the imperial doctor said that it is likely that he will not survive.
He didn't understand why a single article could scold his father as critically ill.
If so, if my father really has three long and two short, what can I do?
The strong enemies that are about to move outside, the imperial party that is surging in the city, he doesn't know how to deal with it yet, and he has too much to learn from Cao Cao
Thinking of this, he gently held Cao Cao's generous palm, choked with red eyes, and said: "Father, you will be fine, you will be fine, the Cao family still needs you, younger brothers and sisters need you, and children also need you."
The choked sob, which was almost pleading, did not make Cao Cao feel half of his complexion, but it made Cao Ang, who was already injured, break his defense, "When I was a child, you were strict with me, but the child was afraid that you would be unhappy, and all the harsh reproaches and grievances could only be confided in his mother.
Later, when your mother left, your harshness did not diminish by half a point
If you want your child to practice martial arts, the child will practice desperately, with swords, guns, swords, halberds, and dare not fall behind; You want your child to study the book of soldiers, and your child would rather read it at night than fall behind in front of you.
Everyone says that the child is sensible and motivated, but they don't know that the child works so hard, just to let the father praise him and feel his father's care
Father"
Saying that, Cao Ang was already in tears, all kinds of old things, old grievances, seemed to be pouring into his heart at this moment, and the strength of the Cao family's men fell apart inch by inch and finally collapsed.
Suddenly, Cao Ang felt Cao Cao's palm clenching his hand, "Father? Father? β
Cao Ang didn't know if it was his filial piety that touched heaven and earth, or because he was too worried about his father and hallucinated.
After shouting a few times, after not seeing Cao Cao's answer, loss filled his face, but in the next breath, he once again clearly felt Cao Cao shaking his hand twice in a row.
A flash of light flashed in Cao Ang's eyes, and after feeling Cao Cao's strength for the third time, his eyes rolled, and he hurriedly wiped the crystal in his eyes, and then got up and walked outside, "Everyone stand down, don't disturb my father." β
"Yes."
Cao Ang turned around and returned to the couch in the inner room, took a deep breath, hoping that he would not be wrong, and said in a deep voice: "Father, there is no one in the house, do you have anything to say to the child?" β
Finally, Cao Cao slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Cao Ang, there was obvious displeasure in his eyes, and scolded: "It's not promising, how did I teach you, no matter when, you have to hold back the grief in your heart." β
"Father, are you alright?" Cao Ang was surprised and delighted, and even the sentence 'what my father taught was' was omitted.
"I was fine."
Cao Cao tore off the bridle tied on his forehead and threw it to the ground in disgust, then sat up from the couch, ignoring the doubts on Cao Ang's face, and asked, "What time is it?" β
"It's a day for two-two." Cao Ang didn't seem to be able to react.
The second watch day, it's still too late.
When Cao Cao was about to get up and put on his shoes, Cao Ang finally couldn't help but ask with doubts in his stomach: "Father, you just said that you were fine, but why did the imperial doctor say you?"
Cao Cao glanced at him, shook his head helplessly, and sighed with a deep sense of disappointment: "Zixuan, haven't you figured out what happened at this moment?" β
Cao Cao is fine, of course this is great news, but listen to what he means, there is an undercurrent behind this matter?
Cao Ang lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said in disappointment: "The child is ignorant, and his heart is in turmoil at the moment, and he really can't think through it. β
The heir of the Cao family can't be like this, this child's filial piety is excellent, but the heart of the city is a little far behind, just like a martial artist's mind.
Time is in a hurry, but if he rushes again, he has to teach his idiot well.
Cao Cao sat on the couch and leaned forward for a few minutes, put the index finger and middle finger of his right hand together, and tapped Cao Ang's head, and said, "Aren't you curious about the urgent report sent today that only you and I have read, why did this news spread throughout the entire Xuchang City in half a day?" β
Cao Ang's body twitched and reacted.
He was indeed a little puzzled when he first heard about this matter, after all, it was impossible for Dian Wei to take the initiative to leak the secret.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if someone really leaks the secret, it can't spread all over the streets and alleys of Xuchang City in half a day, right?
It's just that because Cao Cao was seriously ill at that time, he didn't think much about it at all, and now that Cao Cao mentioned it again, Chao's mind suddenly cleared up, and he said tentatively: "Could it be. Could it be that my father arranged it? β
Cao Cao finally showed a comforting smile on his face, "If you don't do this, how can you let the Xuzhou secret son in Xuchang City bring the news to Lu Bu and Lin Mo?" β
Cao Ang gasped, and his body couldn't help but lean back a little, "Father wants to attack Xuzhou with a fraudulent illness?" β
It's not too stupid, Cao Cao bowed slightly, "Strictly speaking, it's a sneak attack on Xiao Guan." β
If the army wants to conquer Xuzhou, the Xiaoguan grain road must be opened, and there, the west is backed by mountains, there is a water system in the east, it is inconvenient to use troops, only the north and south sides can start, if you attack strongly, not to mention the casualties, it is easy to reinforce or relieve the siege on the opposite side.
But if Lu Bu and Lin Mo heard that their father was sick, they would definitely think that we would not move the army, and at this time, if they suddenly attacked, they would indeed have a great chance of success.
"However, Xiaoguan is only more than ninety miles away from Pengcheng, and cavalry reinforcements can arrive in one day, even if you count the messengers for help, Lu Bu can lead the army to arrive in a day and a half."
Cao Ang's expression was solemn, and he said melancholy: "If our army wants to sneak attack, it will be impossible to carry siege equipment, how can this be able to break the city in a day and a half?" β
Being able to see such subtleties, Cao Cao became more and more satisfied, nodded heavily, and then smiled lightly: "How did Lu Bu break Shouchun?" β
Cao Ang fell into the memory.
LΓΌ Bu broke Shouchun because Gao Shun entered the city in advance with the trapping camp, and when LΓΌ Bu was in trouble, Gao Shun opened the city gate inside, and finally caught the Huainan army off guard.
However, there is a premise for this.
First of all, these city gates will check the weapons of people entering and leaving, and will not let you bring weapons into the city, Gao Shun can enter because Lin Mo started to lay out a few months ago, and in the name of Lu Su's surrender, let the trap camp disguise itself as a courtyard.
Can we.
Cao Ang's eyes suddenly gathered, and the whole person wanted to be shocked, and said in a daze: "It's a poetry club!" The poetry meeting gathered thousands of scholars, and there were more than 20,000 or 30,000 people in the family's nursing home, and the father must have set up the bureau at that time, is what the child said right? β
"I've grown."
Cao Cao became more and more satisfied, and further explained: "However, with the lessons of the past, Lu Bu must be strictly vigilant against the stranded people in Pengcheng, and may even register the people who participate in the poetry meeting.
But Xiao Guan is different, these scholars just pass by with the nursing home, temporarily resting, and a few people enter and exit each time, they will not pay attention. β
Wonderful! Great!
It turned out that this bureau was laid out as early as the beginning of the poetry meeting, and my father was really strategic, and he would never lose to Lin Mo.
The high-ranking soldiers are often laid out in advance, and the same is true for Lin Mo Neng's repeated victories.
Now, he finally understands that Cao Cao is not angry with An Feng's defeat and forcibly uses troops against Xuzhou, on the contrary, this is a far-reaching and long-planned decision.
Father's methods are really amazing.
Cao Ang clenched his fists, not a son saluting his father, but purely admiration from the heart, "Father's intelligence is greatly admired by the child, so that the father even calculated that Lin Mo would win the poem!" β
Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, "I'm not an immortal. β
"That"
Cao Ang was confused again, "Could it be that my father decided to cheat on the other day, but the child didn't leave you from beginning to end, how did you give instructions to the secret sons in the city to spread rumors?" β
Cao Cao squatted down to put on shoes, Cao Ang hurriedly squatted down first, put on shoes for his father and draped the big coat on Cao Cao's body.
"I already received an express report from Xuzhou yesterday." This is the answer, this is the reason why Cao Cao was able to lay out in advance.
"And the Express, why don't you know?" Cao Ang was very confused, after all, he was the one in charge of all the informants, including the shadows and scouts lurking in various states, he was all clear, how could someone send information to Cao Cao without his knowledge at all.
Cao Cao let out a long breath, "Actually, my father still has a shadow in his hand, and the war horses that these people ride are all high-grade horses, so they are naturally faster than those on your line." β
This is Cao Cao, so he is ruthless and even his son will guard against you.
However, Cao Ang didn't care about this at all, but felt that he had learned the same thing again.
"Zixuan."
Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang deeply, and said earnestly: "In the future, these people will be handed over to you, you, understand?" β
How could Cao Ang not understand the deep meaning in this sentence, and his heart was warm.
My father cared for me, but he was always so silent.
"It's a pity that the child's old wounds have not healed, and he can't follow his father to the east." Cao Ang felt a little disappointed.
"Then if the enemy army comes to attack, do you want to go and tell the enemy army that my old wounds have not healed, and I will come back when I am healed?" Cao Cao suddenly became serious.
Ahh
Cao Ang smiled and scratched his head, "Then the kid will go and prepare." β
"No need, you stay in Xuchang, only what you should do."
Cao Cao walked to the window with his hands on his back, turned his back to Cao Ang, and said in a muffled voice: "If I am critically ill, those thieves loyal to Your Majesty should not be able to sit still, and it is very likely that they will take the opportunity to make trouble, at least they will make some movements, so you have to find a good way to deal with them, and your father will not be able to teach you all the time by your side." β
This is a test from my old father.
"Father, rest assured! The child will live up to his father's high expectations! β
Cao Ang condensed and said: "Does my father plan to take General Dian and General Xu out of the city overnight, lead the cavalry to the east, march day and night, and wait for an opportunity to attack Xiao Guan?" β
Cao Cao nodded, and did not squeak.
It is not difficult to understand that if he wants to create the illusion that he is seriously ill, it is naturally impossible for him to ride his horse to the east in broad daylight.
Although the speed of such a march is a little slower, the transmission of the news itself, coupled with the process of paralyzing the other party, takes time, and when it is calculated, it is the most suitable when it arrives at Xiao Pass.
At present, Xiahou Yuan is leading 30,000 troops in Xiangxian County, Qiaojun, which can be regarded as soldiers and horses to guard against the movement of Xiaoguan Lu's army, and his combat power is relatively average.
However, as long as the cavalry arrives, the inside and the outside should be combined, and Xiao Pass is taken within half a day, and the 20,000 troops can be stationed.
At that time, even if Lu Bu came, he could only look at Guan Xing and sigh.
Of course, the follow-up armies will also arrive one after another, and the Xiaoguan grain road has been opened, and hundreds of thousands of troops can directly descend on Pengcheng.
"Bong-hyo."
In the end, Cao Cao still had someone who reassured him, he sighed and advised, "Be sure to take good care of him." β
"Father, rest assured, Mr. Guo is the brain trust of our Cao family, and the child does not dare to slack off."
It's good that you can think so, Cao Cao was pleased, "I hope that when I come back from Xuzhou, Fengxiao will recover." β
That night, the only remaining 800 leopard cavalry and 3,000 cavalry in the city galloped in the direction of Qianjun.
The accompanying generals were not only Dian Wei and Xu Chu as Cao Ang thought, but also Le Jin, Xu Huang, Li Dian, etc., who could be regarded as the most capable of fighting.
The purpose of this time is to attack the unprepared.
As long as Xiao Pass is opened, Xiahou Yuan's army is pressing, and what to do is to wait for Xiahou Yuan in the rear to lead the army to finish the front line.
