In the Xiaoguan Council, Cao Cao summoned a cadre of military generals.

Gan Ning explained Lin Mo's plan and inventory on the sand table, no matter how big or small.

infiltrate the team and trap the camp; time, tomorrow night; the general who attacked the city, Zhao Yun; Responsible for answering is Zhang Xiu; On the way of Cao's escape, the ambushes were Zang Ba and Sun Guan.

Judging from the whole set of military strategies, Cao Cao and Xun You both nodded and praised, which can be called a drop of water.

If you don't know this secret passage, the success rate of this strategy is still quite high.

If Gan Xingba didn't come to defect, he wouldn't be able to use this secret passage.

Cao Cao had to sigh with emotion, and Shi was also dead.

"Okay, Xingba, if you hadn't come in time, such a careful plan wouldn't have said that Xiao Guan would be lost, I'm afraid that I might not have the life to go back to Xuchang."

Cao Cao has never been stingy with the appreciation of meritorious officials, "I will remember your merits, go down." ”

"Thank you, Sikong!" After Gan Ning made a gesture excitedly, he turned around and strode away.

All the generals in the hall are all fierce, judging from the strength of the troops that Gan Ning said just now, this time Lu Bu invested a full 50,000 people, and the most elite troops were none other than the cavalry led by Zhao Yun.

Cao Cao stared at the sand table without saying a word, for a long time, until the generals stopped asking for battle and waited for him to give the order, then he looked at Xun You, "What did Gongda say." ”

Xun You made a gesture first, and then said in a deep voice: "There is no contradiction in the plan that Gan Ning said, and Lin Mo doesn't know that we have discovered the secret passage, not like a deception. ”

After a pause, Xun Yu pondered for a while with his short whiskers, and when he looked at Cao Cao again, his eyes were firm, "I agree with the ambush!" ”

Cao Cao took a deep breath, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly towards the handsome chair.

After sitting down, he first smiled lightly, and then said to himself: "This Gan Ning, first from Liu Yan, then from Liu Biao, and then from Lu Bu, plus his reputation as a Jinfan thief, it is naturally difficult to rely on in Lu Ying."

There is one thing I don't know if you have heard, Sun Ce under Guangling City once sent a hundred cavalry to rob the camp, Gan Ning's department was caught off guard, and finally Gao Shun's trapping camp took down the hundred horsemen, for which he also ate forty military sticks. ”

was reminded by Cao Cao like this, and everyone reacted and nodded again and again.

They also remember this matter, and they did talk about it when the scout reported it, and Cao Cao laughed and scolded at that time, the water bandit is the water bandit, and it is embarrassing and useful.

I never thought that today would really be of great use.

Cao Cao slowly closed his eyes, and his right hand gently patted on the armrest of the handsome chair.

The horror shown by the other party under his own explosion, the banditry of the Jinfan thief, and the fact that there is no contradiction in his preface and afterwords, Rao is suspicious and Cao Cao doesn't think he has any problems.

The most critical point is that he is willing to surrender by deception, from the perspective of the plan, Lin Mo has no way to attack himself, after all, he took the initiative to attack.

Now, Cao Cao has one more thought, according to the distance, is there any way to take advantage of this ambush to take advantage of the situation to take Pengcheng.

Of course, this thought was just a flash, and there were only about 30,000 people in the entire Xiao Pass, except for the leopard riders, none of them were elite, and they couldn't do such a thing at all.

However, according to what Gan Xingba said, now the internal war and dispute in Pengcheng is extremely acute, and this battle should also be the battle between Lu Bu and Lin Mo.

If they win, they can appease the army, and if they are defeated, even if they do not attack the city, they will not be able to deal with internal contradictions.

Cao Cao finally made up his mind, suddenly opened his eyes, put his right hand on the handsome case, and said in a deep voice:

"Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and the two of them led 10,000 guards in the city, ambushed on both sides of the south gate, and when Zhao Yun's army arrived, they must be let through, and after the cavalry entered the city, they immediately closed the south gate and encircled Zhao Yun!"

"Whoa!"

After the two of them took the order, Cao Cao continued: "Le Jin, Xu Huang, Li Dian, you three lead 10,000 troops, ambush at the east gate, two moments later, open the city gate to create chaos, lead the Lu army outside the city into the city, gather and annihilate it!" ”

"Whoa!"

The three of them clasped their fists and received the order, and finally, Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Yuan, "Miaocai, you lead the cavalry in the city to stand by at the north gate, when the ugly time comes, rush out of the city gate and kill Lulin, Gan Ning said that Zang Ba and Sun Guan brought 10,000 soldiers to ambush over there, and they must be killed!" ”

"The last general is ordered!"

At this point, all the battle plans were arranged.

Cao Cao finally looked at Xun You, who shook his head and said that there was nothing to add, before he stood up, "Everyone, after tomorrow night, Xuzhou can be determined, and the right to return to the camp to arrange the deployment, waiting for you to make contributions!" ”

"Whoa!" The generals clenched their fists and flicked their cloaks away.

After everyone left, Cao Cao walked to the sand table again, looking at the marks left by Gan Ning's deduction on it, and the scene of the city wailing and the Lu army turning on their backs came to mind tomorrow night.

He half-squinted his eyes, his right hand twisted unconsciously, and murmured: "It's been more than a year, and Lin Yunwen should be Angelica after this battle."

Cao Cao didn't think he would lose, but he still liked Lin Mo very much in his heart.

This secret passage is not exquisite, and it has the flavor of an unpredictable prophet.

The most important thing is that he is young, I heard that Lin Yunwen has not yet reached the age of a weak crown, and he is a few years younger than Zixuan.

As Cao Cao, who is over forty-three years old, in this era of thirty years of average life expectancy, he can call himself old, he knows too well that after he leaves, Cao Ang's side needs a talent like Lin Mo who looks up to the world to assist.

Xuzhou, when determined; Lin Mo, Angelica.

On the first watchday, smoke curled in Xiaoguan City.

By the time of the second watch, the soldiers all ate in groups.

Before the Han Dynasty, the ancients had two meals a day, and there was no saying that there was breakfast, and the soldiers in the army distributed food according to their ranks, so it was normal to not be full.

In view of this, before the army goes to war, the soldiers are often given a full meal, the so-called full meal, that is, the military rank is no longer defined, and there is enough to eat.

After all, no one knows if there will be a life left for the next meal.

After eating and drinking, they quickly waited quietly according to the battle plan set before, and the stubborn armor soldiers were highly nervous.

In fact, there are very few elite soldiers who can be indifferent to life and death like the trapped camp, and most people, when facing life and death, nervousness and fear are the norm.

As time slowly passed, the time of the third watch was approaching, and at this time, every breath seemed to them to be incomparably long.

In the abandoned storeroom, the partition blocking the bed was pushed open by a force, and a figure jumped out of it.

Immediately followed by the second, the third

Due to the narrowness of the hole, they all took off their armor and broadswords, and continued to advance their equipment while crawling, and only after jumping out of it could they put on their armor.

Waiting for the armor and the ring-headed sword in the courtyard to stand still, a total of 500 people, the military marquis led by him said in a low voice: "According to the orders of the Hou Ye, we will rush to the south gate in a while, and we can retreat immediately after opening the city gate, and we must not delay!" ”

"Whoa!" After the soldiers responded in a low voice, under the leadership of the military marquis, they rushed out of the abandoned treasury by night.

The treasury is a mile away from the south gate, which is not far away, but the criss-crossing houses, plus the Cao army patrols from time to time, is not insignificant.

Fortunately, Cao Jun, who was patrolling the city, had already received a clear order, and when he spoke, it was loud, and his voice could be heard on the street and at the end of the street.

After turning east and west, they finally came to the south gate, and the military marquis examined the situation for a while, and there were only twenty sleepy guards at the city gate, and they should do it.

Under the organization of the military marquis, after 500 people slowly approached the city wall, they suddenly attacked, "Do it!" ”

With an order, the military marquis swung his knife and slashed at a Cao army, blood gushed out, hundreds of people followed closely behind him, and more than 20 Cao soldiers were wiped out in the blink of an eye, and many people had no chance to do anything at all.

"Not good, enemy attack!" After Cao Jun on the city gate symbolically shouted, the city gate had been opened.

"Kill!" Zhao Zilong, who was in silver spear and white robe, took the lead, and thousands of cavalry rushed in behind him.

"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! "The arrows on the pass of the city poured down, because of the darkness, they could only rely on the bow directly, this rain of arrows only shot a dozen people, and by the time they could take the bow for the second round, the cavalry had already occupied the city gate.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were hidden in the private house, flashed a trace of ruthlessness in their eyes, and they both clenched the weapons in their hands, waiting for them to close the city gate immediately after they entered the city completely, and catch the turtle in the urn.

According to the normal situation, the Lü army should gallop all the way to ensure the momentum of the cavalry's charge, and when the enemy approaches, just kill it.

But the reality is true, after the Lu army entered the city, a group of people were divided to control the city gate, and Zhao Yun led a team of cavalry to continue to advance, but the speed was not fast.

While riding a horse, he looked at Zhao Yun on the left and right, and after galloping on the street for half a mile, he suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "Stop!" There are 30,000 garrisons in Xiaoguan, but the city is so empty, there must be fraud, withdraw quickly! ”

As if they had been prepared, the cavalry simply turned their horses around and galloped away.

This. Dian Wei and Xu Chu were not in the same house, they were ambushed left and right, and when they saw that Zhao Yun was acting in a completely opposite way to Cao Cao's estimate, they were a little confused, this is completely out of the routine.

Seeing that they were about to withdraw, Dian Wei and Xu Chu couldn't help it, no matter how thin the mosquito's legs were, it was meat, and it was better than nothing, so they immediately shouted: "Brothers, rush out with me, kill the thief general, and make meritorious contributions!" ”

"Kill!"

The vast Cao army poured out of the houses on the left and right like a tide, but the speed of the cavalry had already increased, and they were helpless at all, and occasionally a strong man with a spear tripped over a war horse, and the surrounding Cao army immediately surrounded him and hacked him to death.

Seeing this, Dian Wei dropped the double halberd and charged quickly, took off the small halberd on his waist with his left and right hands and threw it continuously, but in the end, he only let down the three cavalrymen, and he could only watch Lu Jun disappear in front of his eyes.

After taking a count, plus the cavalry shot by the crossbowmen on the city pass, this battle was actually killed by only eighteen horsemen, and more than 20 guards at the city gate died, this deal is too cost-effective.

"Take my war horse, chase me out, and kill the Lu army!"

Xu Chu shouted unwillingly, and Dian Wei on the side grabbed him and shouted: "Don't make decisions without permission, you need to go back to Sikong!" ”

After waiting all night, in exchange for such a result, no one is unwilling, but Dian Wei has always been a person who only listens to Cao Cao's military orders to do things, and pulls Xu Chu to walk in the alleys of scattered houses.

When he came to a heavily guarded house, the sergeant was unwilling to be hindered when he saw that it was a tiger and a hero.

"Why are you here?" Seeing the two of them appear, Cao Cao looked dazed, shouldn't he be fighting an ambush?

After the two told the truth what had just happened, Cao Cao was stunned, looking at Dian Wei and Xu Chu in a daze, like a statue.

What is the situation, on the way to the sneak attack, you can still seriously check whether there are people around you who come out to rescue?

How can this battle be fought like this!

At the moment ago, he was still looking forward to the defeat of the Lu army and the 100,000 army of Xiahoudun under Pengcheng, and the siege was soon broken, and finally he didn't care about giving Lin Mo face and getting a decent etiquette to greet him.

This dream hasn't been finished yet, the two of you came to tell me that the other party is thundering and raining, and Zhao Yun came in Xiaoguan for a half-day tour and left?

"Sikong, I led the cavalry out of the east gate, didn't Gan Ning say that Zhang Xiu was in charge of answering, he must have brought a large number of foot soldiers outside the city, and the cavalry chased and killed, they couldn't run!"

Xu Chu's words finally brought Cao Cao, who was too void in the soul to come back to reality, his pupils suddenly gathered, and he said sharply: "Quickly go to the east gate to give an order, let them not leave Xiao Pass, close the city gate, go and close the city gate!"

Also, inform Xiahou Yuan to withdraw the cavalry in the city and return to the camp! ”

"Whoa!" Xu Chu was stunned, and immediately ran out after reacting.

"This kid may have designed to lure us out of the city, wanting to gather and annihilate our army outside the city, and his intentions are really far-reaching." Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself in a low voice.

It was the only plausible explanation he could think of.

The so-called secret road attack, the so-called Zhao Yun sneak attack, is just a fog to hide people's ears, and in the end, he hopes that our army will lose their minds and rush out of the city pass to pursue, and then he set up an ambush outside the city.

Yes, it must be so, it must be so!

"His grandmother's leg, Sikong, I'm going to take down Gan Ning, this kid must have surrendered by fraud, see if I don't crush him to ashes!" was so touched by Cao Cao, Dian Wei also came to his senses, and he wanted to go to Gan Ning to ask for the guilt, but was stopped by Xun Yu on the side.

"Why did Mr. Xun stop it?"

"The truth of this matter remains to be verified."

Xun You shook his head intently and said in a deep voice: "Don't forget that Gan Xingba arrived at Xiaoguan yesterday, Lin Mo found that he was gone, and it is not impossible to change the battle plan temporarily."

Judging from the authentic matter, I think Gan Ning shouldn't be lying. ”

Cao Cao, who had originally planned to torture Gan Ning, heard these words, pacing back and forth in the room, all kinds of suspicions emerged in his heart, no matter what, Gan Ning was no longer a person he could fully trust in his heart.

But he can't be easily tortured, otherwise the matter will spread out, and who will dare to defect in the future.

Calm down, this matter is either Lin Mobu's bureau, the purpose is to attract his army out of the city, and he can surround and gather annihilation; Or, as Xun You said, it was Lin Mo who discovered that Gan Ning was missing and temporarily changed the battle plan.

But in any case, tonight's plan to gather and annihilate Lu Bu is completely yellow.

Although he had nothing to lose that night, Cao Cao just felt unwilling, like a dream that could be seen and touched, and when it was about to come true, he was suddenly woken up.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he could only look at Xun You, "Gongda, at this time, there must be an ambush by the Lu army outside the city, do you have a plan to break it?" ”

When it comes to this qi cultivation technique, Cao Cao is obviously still a little worse, Xun You just shook his head slowly, "Sikong doesn't have to be angry, tonight's toss, our army has only lost some grain and grass, if you want to say that the plan failed, it was also his Lin Mo's failure."

All this, after all, is not hindered by the overall situation, we still wait for Xiahoudun to lead the troops to come, and act according to the predetermined route. ”

Even Xun You said so, Cao Cao was unwilling and could only swallow this breath.

He walked towards the outside of the house, looking at the crowds in all directions, with regret and sigh in his heart, this kid is indeed an amazing genius, and after finding out that Gan Ning is gone, he can immediately come up with a plan to make up for it.

If you are not careful, you may fall for his tricks.

The more dazzling he became, the more excited Cao Cao became, and in his eyes, Lin Mo would be in his pocket sooner or later.
