Wuyuan Castle.

Zang Ba leaned on the city tower with his sword, looked at the slightly thin Confucian on the right, and smiled: "Mr. Zhuge , this marching battle is not suitable for a Confucian student like you." ”

"You have raised food and grass for Ben General, and you are kind to Ben General, and Ben General can't let you die on the battlefield."

"Cao thief is powerful, the battlefield is ruthless, you better go back to Qingzhou first."

Zhuge Jin shook his head.

After finishing Zheng Ping's errand, Zhuge Jin offered to stay in Zang Ba's army for a while.

Lu Su has been a military advisor in Guan Yu's army for a long time, and Zhuge Jin has only assisted Zhuge Xuan in handling government affairs.

This made Zhuge Jin more or less unconvinced.

Zhuge Jin also wants to have a certain growth in military strategy.

Zang Ba also had a good impression of Zhuge Jin's descendants, so he brought Zhuge Jin to Wuyuan.

Along the way, I also saw Zhuge Jin's tenacity.

While admiring in his heart, he naturally didn't want Zhuge Jin to make a mistake.

"If I don't even dare to go to the battlefield, why should I come to this Wuyuan City." Zhuge Jin stubbornly shook his head: "I have a righteous alliance with Brother Xianmou, and Brother Xianmou is quite important to me, I can't just be a scholar who doesn't understand military strategy." ”

"General Zang, don't worry, although I don't know much about battlefield affairs, I just want to save my life, and I can still do it."

Zang Ba admired Zhuge Jin's courage even more.

With Zhuge Jin's age, identity and status, he will definitely be on the rise in the future, and there is no need to make a special trip to the battlefield in order to understand the military strategy.

If you want military merits, you naturally have the ability to get it for Zhuge Jin.

"Since Mr. Zhuge insists, he won't persuade much."

"Zhongtai, assign a few guards to Mr. Zhuge and let's go to Pengcheng."

"It is said that the generals under Cao Cao's command are brave and good at fighting, but the generals are not convinced."

Zang Ba bared his teeth and grinned, and his fighting spirit was awe-inspiring.

Sun Guan laughed: "Just a thief, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

Zheng Ping's layout for Tao Qian, Zang Ba is not clear!

Zang Ba only knew that in the letter brought by Zhuge Jin, Qingzhou hoped that Zang Ba would send troops to fight against Cao Cao.

Zhuge Jin was also unclear about Zheng Ping's purpose.

Zang Ba's soldiers and horses, like Fu Yang's Tao Qian, are all bait.

In other words, the entire soldiers and horses in Xuzhou are just Zheng Ping's pawns.

The other side.

Cao Cao saw that Tao Qian and Zang Ba were going to rob Pengcheng, and his eyes were full of contempt.

"Tao Qian, this husband, doesn't have a long memory at all."

"Fengxiao, fight like this, before Yuan Shu has time to go north, the general will capture Tao Qian alive."

"Do you want to change this plan?"

Cao Cao suddenly had a headache.

In this battle, in addition to capturing Tao Qian alive, it was also necessary to lead Liu Bei and Yuan Shu to fight in Xuzhou, and take the opportunity to eliminate the Haoqiang clan in Xuzhou who supported Liu Bei.

But now, Cao Cao easily took Lu County and Pengcheng, while Fu Yang's Tao Qian and Wuyuan's Zang Ba divided their troops to grab Pengcheng.

Let's fight, I'm afraid that Tao Qiansheng will be accidentally captured.

If you don't fight, Tulu County's effect of deterring counties will be gone.

Xi Zhicai pondered for a moment: "If Tao Qian is captured in the first battle, Liu Bei and Yuan Shu may not get the news." It's better to take Xuzhou directly, and leave Liu Bei and Yuan Shu alone? ”

Guo Jia chuckled and shook his head: "Ming Gong, Zhicai, you are inevitably too underestimated by Liu Bei and the strategists around Liu Bei." ”

"As a good strategist, if you don't win, you will lose first."

"With Zheng Ping's ability, it is impossible not to guess the possibility that the Ming Guild will destroy Nuoqi and attack Pengcheng."

"Therefore, Qingzhou must have spies in Pengchengguo!"

"The moment Ming Gong took Pengcheng, Liu Bei got the news."

Xi Zhicai said: "Even if you get the news, the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou may not arrive in time." ”

"If Tao Qian is captured, Ming Gong can arrive at Tancheng on a light horse and recruit the soldiers and civilians of Tancheng."

Cao Cao was also moved: "If Liu Bei doesn't have time to react, capture Tao Qian, and take Tancheng, we only need to defend the city." ”

"As for the strong warriors in Xuzhou who support Liu Bei, they can also be slowly figured out."

Guo Jia laughed: "Has Ming Gong forgotten how Zhang Fei appeared outside Xiaopei City when he attacked Xuzhou last time?" ”

Moment.

Cao Cao's pupils shrank sharply: "What does Feng Xiao mean, Liu Bei hid his soldiers and horses in Taishan County?" ”

Guo Jia nodded: "Liu Bei claimed on the surface that he would not interfere in the affairs of Xuzhou, and only wanted to relocate the Tuntian people from Qingzhou back to Qingzhou. ”

"However, in terms of the geography of Qingzhou, how could Liu Bei let Ming Gong get Xuzhou and let Qingzhou be blocked by Yanyu and Xu Sanzhou?"

"For Liu Bei, Xuzhou must not appear outside of control."

"All foreign soldiers and horses that appear in Xuzhou will become Liu Bei's target."

"If Jia's expectations are not bad, once Ming Gong rode to Tancheng, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses hidden in Taishan County will definitely surprise Xiaopei and cut off Ming Gong's way back."

"Although Ming Gong and Yuan Shu have temporarily formed an alliance, this alliance is not reliable, if Yuan Shu learns that Ming Gong's retreat is cut off, he will definitely solve Ming Gong first, and then fight Liu Bei to decide the winner."

"At that time, I'll be cocooned and bound to myself!"

Cao Cao pondered.

Xi Zhicai said: "If you don't take the opportunity to seize Tancheng, then we have to arrest this Tao Qian first and then release it?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head, his eyes were full of eyes: "Since you have caught it, you naturally can't let it go!" ”

"Duke Ming has a deep blood feud with Tao Qian, how can he spare Tao Qian?"

"As soon as Tao Qian dies, Liu Bei will definitely send someone to Tancheng as soon as possible to preside over the big things when he sees that Ming Gong is standing still in Pengcheng."

"This is consistent with previous assumptions."

"If Tao Qian can be captured alive in this battle, Duke Ming can immediately send someone to Shouchun to urge Yuan Shu to go north."

"As long as Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses appear in Xuzhou, Liu Bei and Yuan Shu will have to fight!"

"The game of snipe and clam competition is also done."

Xi Zhicai admired: "In terms of insight into the general trend of people's hearts, I might as well be filial piety." ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Brother Zhicai, why is he arrogant, Jia has just been studying Zheng Ping in recent years, and he has a specialization in art." ”

Cao Cao paused proudly: "As long as Ben will not go to Tancheng, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses will not appear in Xiaopei." ”

"Therefore, there is no need to leave troops in Pengcheng to respond, and there is no need to take care of Zang Ba's partial army, just concentrate all the troops and capture Tao Qian alive!"

"Tao Qian, if you don't defend the city in Fuyang, you want to snatch Pengcheng, you really don't know whether you are alive or dead."

Guo Jia chuckled: "Perhaps, Tao Qian took the initiative to attack, which was Zheng Ping's plan." ”

"For example, send a letter to Tao Qian, saying that the Qingzhou soldiers have prepared a surprise attack on Xiao Pei to cut off the return of Ming Gong, and let Tao Qian and Zang Ba enter Pengcheng to lure the enemy and lure Ming Gong's soldiers and horses to leave Pengcheng."

"When Tao Qian got this letter, he mistakenly thought that he could destroy Ming Gong in one battle, so he had the courage to snatch Pengcheng."

Cao Cao laughed knowingly: "Liu Bei, although he has the wind of benevolence and righteousness, is also a decisive person to kill. ”

"Liu Dai was greedy for disaster relief food, and Liu Bei captured Liu Dai with a false plan to destroy Yu; Yuan Shu betrayed the alliance, and Liu Bei and Yuan Shu never died. ”

"In the past, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe was also suspected of being removed by Liu Bei with the help of the Yellow Turban."

"Now Tao Qian doesn't know the blessings and misfortunes, and killed the father of the general, but he blamed Qingzhou for the plan of moving the trouble."

"As far as Liu Bei is concerned, Tao Qian is treacherous, which is equivalent to betraying the alliance, how can Liu Bei endure it?"

"If it was Liu Bei, he would definitely get rid of Tao Qian!"

Cao Cao no longer hesitated, exhausted his soldiers and horses in Pengcheng, and went to Tao Qian to set up an ambush on the road that Tao Qian must pass.

At this time, Tao Qian didn't know that he had been calculated by Zheng Ping and Guo Jia like a tacit understanding, and he was still fantasizing about how to humiliate Cao Cao in order to vent his anger after capturing Cao Cao.

Tao Qianjun.

You Heng assumed the name You have no regrets, and shocked Cao Bao with his talent and learning, and became a small official next to Cao Bao.

Since Cao Bao learned the reason why Tao Qian led Fu Yang's generals to send troops to rob Pengcheng, You Heng had already guessed that this was a trap.

You Heng has followed Zheng Ping for the longest time, and has executed the strategy for Zheng Ping the most, so he is naturally more sensitive than Zhuge Jin's reaction.

So You Heng found Cao Bao and admonished: "General, Tao Envoy Jun is not secret, in case one of the generals secretly surrenders to Cao Cao and leaks the military aircraft." Cao Cao set up an ambush at a dangerous crossing, wouldn't we have become a turtle in an urn? ”

"The general can persuade the Tao envoy to halve the daily itinerary and try to pass through the easy places to set up ambushes during the day."

Cao Bao shook his head: "All the generals are from Danyang, how can they leak secrets?" If you can leak secrets, you won't regret it, sir. ”

You Heng hurriedly said: "General, don't make such jokes!" ”

Cao Bao laughed: "Mr. No Regret advised Ben General to march cautiously, how could he be a leaker, just a joke." ”

You Heng pretended to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "I don't doubt the loyalty of your generals, but what if your generals also tell the people around them about this secret, just like the generals?" ”

"Even if the Cao thief doesn't know that Xuande Gongzang soldiers Taishan County, but the Cao thief is treacherous, what if he wants to capture Tao Zhijun in a battle and raise Pengcheng's soldiers to ambush Tao Zhijun?"

"General, the battle is dangerous, don't be careless."

"Even if I misjudged and the general advised Tao Envoy, Tao Envoy Jun would only remember the general's loyalty."

Cao Bao thought for a moment and said, "You're right. It doesn't matter whether there is an ambush or not, the important thing is to let the king know the loyalty of the general. ”

"You're here later, and you're going to come when you're going."

Cao Bao went fast and came back quickly.

"Tao Envoy Jun said, the soldiers are fast, how can they be delayed on the road?"

"With Zang Ba's strategy, how dare Cao Cao risk setting up an ambush?"

You Heng pretended to frown, and said: "The general might as well divide the troops with Tao Envoy Jun, and the front and back will become a corner." ”

Cao Bao said: "How can this be done, I will be a pioneer." ”

You Heng sighed lightly: "General, have you forgotten the sneak attack on Yingchuan in the past?" ”

"How can the work of a pioneer be compared to the work of the Savior?"

Cao Bao was a little strange: "Mr. No Regrets, why do you always think that Cao Thief will set up an ambush?" ”

You Heng said: "General, the battle is dangerous, and caution is the best. Only those who live a long time can be promoted to Yaozu. ”

Cao Bao suddenly felt a little moved, and couldn't help but think of Xu Tan, Lu You and Zhang Zhen who had died in battle.

"Mr. No Regrets is reasonable, I will go to find the envoy again."

People who have died once are the most desperate for their lives.

Cao Bao didn't want to die again because of negligence.

But this time, Cao Bao was a little disgraced, and he complained a little more about You Heng's tone: "Because of Mr., I was supposed to be scolded by the king." ”

You Heng didn't care if Cao Bao was scolded, so he asked, "Tao Envoy refused?" ”

Cao Bao shook his head, a little stupid: "Agreed." However, the envoy asked me to be in charge of the baggage in the rear army. ”

You Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"The baggage is behind, even if you encounter Cao Cao's ambush, you have a chance to escape."

This is not the first time You Heng has experienced this kind of danger.

It is precisely because of this that Zheng Ping will say that You Heng's task is the most important.

Neither Hua Ji nor Zhuge Jin has the on-the-spot experience and adaptability to carry out this task.

Today's You Heng is no longer the talented boy who can only scare people.

Although he is only one year older than Zhuge Jin, You Heng's experience in the past few years is quite rich.

Good talent only means that the upper limit is high.

Whether you can become a talent or not needs to be polished through time and environment.

Your judgment is not wrong.

Two days later.

After Tao Qian's rapid march, he arrived at a dangerous place at dusk.

But Tao Qian thought that it was impossible for Cao Cao to go out of the city, and he did not take much precautions, so he camped in the depths of the forest.

You Heng, who had been with Zheng Ping for a long time, saw the danger of the camping position at a glance, and hurriedly asked Cao Bao to inform Tao Qian to take precautions.

But the more Cao Bao reminded Tao Qian, the more Tao Qian didn't take it seriously.

Especially after Cao Bao said that this was the advice of a poor scholar who taught you unrepentant, Tao Qian was even more annoyed: "Cao Bao, you actually told an outsider about such a major military event?" ”

"Go back and slaughter that you don't regret at once!"

"If you dare to say more, the old man will ask you for military justice."

Cao Bao returned stupidly.

I wanted to go looking for Youheng, but the sergeant said that Youheng left a letter and left.

Cao Bao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took out the letter and looked at it.

However, the content of the letter was simple and straightforward: "This place is dangerous, and if it is attacked by fire, the whole army will be destroyed." Take care of the general, if there is a goodbye day, meet the general Tancheng again. ”

Cao Bao saw that You Heng ran away directly, and he was inevitably panicked in his heart.

But Tao Qian didn't listen to persuasion, and Cao Bao didn't know how to deal with it.

"Order, the guard battalion must not unload its armor tonight!"

Cao Bao couldn't control the whole army, so he could only give orders to a hundred guards.

Although these guards did not understand why Cao Bao ordered not to remove his armor, they did not dare to disobey Cao Bao's order.

At this time, You Heng had already fled a few miles away on horseback.

"It's dangerous!"

"If it weren't for Brother Xianmou often instructing me on the way to use soldiers, I would almost have to be buried with Tao Qian."

"Tao Qian is so rampant, he would actually camp in such a narrow place."

"Although the weather is hot, it is cooler in Yilinxia. But in this kind of place, a fire can burn down the entire camp, and it is difficult to run! ”

"I only hope that Cao Bao can be cautious, otherwise I won't be able to complete Brother Xianmou's task."

You didn't run too far.

Picked a high slope to light a fire and barbecue, and You Heng quietly observed the movement in the direction of Tao Qian's camp.

If Cao Cao doesn't rob the camp tonight, You Heng will still go back to find Cao Bao.

When the time comes, give Cao Bao some treasures, and you are not afraid that Cao Bao will be blamed.

After all, You Heng only showed cowardice and miscalculation in front of Cao Bao, and he didn't do anything bad.

It's the middle of the night.

You Heng, who took a nap, was woken up by a mosquito bite.

In an instant, you suddenly rose up.

I saw Tao Qian's camp a few miles away, and the fire was soaring!
