Chapter 249: A plan to divide the troops, Cao Cao's troops were defeated and returned to Yu

After Yuan Shu learned that Sun Jian had surrendered, he was so angry that he almost didn't raise his sword to beat Sun Jian.

But thinking of his own force and Sun Jian's force, Yuan Shu could only give up this unrealistic idea stupidly.

In the end, under Huang Yi's persuasion, Yuan Shu could only agree to go to Chang'an.

But Yuan Shu asked Guan Yu to personally escort him to Chang'an, and the reason was very straightforward: "Zheng Xian is a treacherous person, he can't be trusted to speak, and the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion is trustworthy and righteous, and he will definitely be able to send his father to Chang'an safely." ”

Zheng Ping did not refuse Yuan Shu's request, even if Yuan Shu didn't say it, Zheng Ping would ask Guan Yu to escort Yuan Shu to Chang'an.

And during the period when Guan Yu secretly escorted Yuan Shu and went to Yanzhou to enter the Tiger Prison.

Zheng Ping's layout for Cao Cao also began.

Cao Ying.

Cao Cao looked at Huang Yi, who was lying on the grain cart wailing and scolding angrily, and frowned: "Huang Yi, how did you get this injury?" ”

Huang Yi said angrily: "Sun Jian's thief, while urging grain, actually surrendered to Guan Yu. ”

"This thief even punished him with a cane on the grounds that he had drunk and made a mistake and delayed three days of food and grass."

"If it weren't for the fact that there were cronies hiding in Sun Jian's thief army to monitor, I wouldn't know that this thief had surrendered to Guan Yu."

"Hateful!"

Cao Cao stared at Huang Yi suspiciously, and didn't believe Huang Yi's words: "Then why did you come to our army?" ”

Huang Yi said hatefully: "I want revenge in the future!" General Cao, if you can kill Sun Jian, I will take Shouchun for you. ”

Cao Cao saw that Huang Yi didn't seem to be a fake, and the suspicion in his heart became even worse: "Then do you know what Sun Jian is going to do next?" ”

Huang Yi shook his head: "Outside Sun Jian's handsome tent, he is very well guarded, and his cronies are only a general in the army, and they are not qualified to go to Sun Jian's handsome tent, and they have not found out Sun Jian's next plan." ”

"But I heard from my father-in-law that he had a gambling contract with Zheng Ping."

"If Sun Jian can defeat General Cao alone, Zheng Ping will let his father-in-law return to Shouchun; If Sun Jian can't defeat General Cao alone, Yuezhang will have to take the initiative to go to Chang'an to ask for guilt. ”

"Now that Sun Jian has descended directly, my father-in-law will definitely not be able to return to Shouchun, and he will definitely be escorted to Chang'an."

"General Cao, you must also know very well that these ears were cut off by Guan Yu when he was in Fengqiu City."

"I have a common enmity with Guan Yu, and now there is another Sun Jian as the enemy."

"But I know that I can't kill Guan Yu and Sun Jian, so I am willing to exchange Shouchun for it."

"As long as General Cao can kill Sun Jian, Shouchun City, give it away!"

Cao Cao squinted his eyes: "You won't let me kill Guan Yu?" ”

Huang Yi shook his head: "General Cao, if you kill Guan Yu, it will be equivalent to forming a mortal enmity with Liu Bei." I won't be stupid enough to think that General Cao will kill Guan Yu. ”

"But Sun Jian is different, he was originally a subordinate general of his father-in-law, if there was no father-in-law, Sun Jian would be just a small official of Wu County."

"Now that he dares to betray his father-in-law, such a person is not enough to vent his hatred if he doesn't kill him."

Huang Yi said it carefully.

Even the suspicious Cao Cao couldn't help but believe Huang Yi's words.

"Zhong Kang, send someone to send General Huang to rest, and ask the military medical officer to prepare some more stick wound medicine. Be sure to be cured! Cao Cao instructed Xu Chu.

After sending Huang Yi to another camp, Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai behind him.

"Feng Xiao, Zhicai, Huang Yi's words, do you think they are credible?" Cao Cao squinted his eyes, and there was a strong suspicion in his eyes.

Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice: "I carefully observed Huang Yi's stick wound, and he can't go to the ground for half a month, but it won't be fatal." ”

"Obviously, Sun Jian didn't plan to kill Huang Yi directly."

"But according to Huang Yi's statement, Sun Jian has surrendered to Guan Yu, so why didn't Sun Jian kill Huang Yi directly, but let him go?"

"I thought that Huang Yi was deliberately given to Ming Gong by Sun Jian to confuse Ming Gong."

"Huang Yi's words are half-truths and half-truths, credible, but not all of them."

Guo Jia also said: "I just carefully observed Huang Yi's expression and tone, his anger is not fake, and when he mentions Sun Jian and Guan Yu, there are indeed obvious mood swings. ”

But Huang Yi's eyes occasionally wandered, proving that his words were false.

"Especially when mentioning that he has a grudge against Guan Yu, Huang Yi's tone is obviously a little wrong."

"I agree with Zhicai's judgment, Huang Yi's words are credible, but not all of them."

Cao Cao pondered and said: "Sun Jian is already brave, if Guan Yu is really lowered, our army will be in danger." ”

Xi Zhicai said: "In today's situation, there are two possibilities. ”

"One is that Sun Jian really descended, and Sun Jian punished Huang Yi with a cane, which was instructed by Zheng Xianmou to confuse Ming Gong, Ming Xiu plank road, and dark Chen Cang."

"One is that Sun Jian did not surrender, and deliberately tortured Huang Yi with a cane, using Huang Yi's mouth to confuse Ming Gong, so that Ming Gong had to beware of Guan Yu in Huailing."

"Either way, Ming Gong will divide his troops to deal with it."

Cao Cao frowned: "This is a plan to divide the troops, Sun Jian wants to divide my troops and horses, and break them all." ”

Hesitating.

Cao Hong came from outside and said: "Ming Gong, there is information from Huailing City, yesterday, there was a group of about 500 soldiers and horses, heading in the direction of Xiaopei. ”

Cao Cao stood up in shock: "Whose banner can you find?" ”

Cao Hong shook his head: "The spies don't know, but what is certain is that the war horse of its leader is like a red charcoal fire." ”

"Red Rabbit Horse? Guan yu? Cao Cao frowned: "Guan Yu went to Xiaopei?" What did he do when he went to Xiaopei? Can you see a prisoner car? ”

Cao Hong shook his head: "There is no prisoner car." ”

Cao Cao instantly thought of Huang Yi's words: "If Sun Jian can defeat General Cao alone, Zheng Ping will let his father-in-law return to Shouchun; If Sun Jian can't defeat General Cao alone, Yuezhang will have to take the initiative to go to Chang'an to ask for guilt. ”

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai also reacted.

"Could it be that Guan Yu escorted Yuan Shu to Chang'an?"

"Could it be a suspicious tactic to deliberately distinguish the public soldiers?"

Although there was such a possibility, Cao Cao did not dare to bet: "Immediately let Xiahou Yuan lead a thousand light horsemen to Xiaopei, and be sure to intercept that army and horses." ”

"If Yuan Shu is in the army, capture it immediately!"

After Xiahou Yuan left, Cao Cao was still not at ease: "At this time, no one can believe it." ”

Cao Cao, who was suspicious, ignored the advice of Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, and insisted on dividing the soldiers and horses into two battalions.

One of the battalions, commanded by Xiahou Xuan, was dedicated to defending Zheng Ping in Huailing City.

As soon as Cao Cao divided his troops, Sun Jian found out the information.

"Zheng Beijia's plan to divide the troops has succeeded." Sun Jian laughed: "Although Cao Cao has strategists to make plans, this suspicious nature cannot be changed. ”

"Zheng Beijia's suspicious tactics against Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao has good and peaceful people, it will not help."

"It's just that I didn't expect that Huang Yi would voluntarily carry out the bitter meat plan to deceive that Cao Cao."

Although Sun Jian joined forces with the Qingzhou soldiers in Huailing City, he could defeat Cao Cao with the advantage of soldiers and horses, but in order to show his intentions, Sun Jian thought that the Qingzhou soldiers attacking Cao Cao at this time would damage his reputation.

So Zheng Ping changed his strategy and asked Huang Yi to carry out the bitter plan, deliberately prepared some true and false information for Cao Cao, and forced Cao Cao to divide his troops.

Sun Jian and Cao Cao were already evenly matched in terms of military strength, but now that they are divided to guard against Zheng Ping, the military strength used to resist Sun Jian is somewhat stretched.

If it was still Sun Jian's previous offensive method of retaining strength, Cao Cao would be able to defend it by dividing his troops.

However, this time Sun Jian was not prepared to retain his strength.

"The general will order to rob Cao's camp tonight."

"The whole army will attack, do not break the Cao camp, and vow not to retreat!"

And in Huailing City.

Zheng Ping also got the information of Cao Cao's sub-camp, according to the plan, Cao Cao sub-camp, Sun Jian robbed the camp, and Zheng Ping sent someone to "save Cao Cao"

"Yide, you are the best at driving troops to scare people."

"Take your Ruishi camp and go to Cao Cao's second battalion."

"Remember, your mission is to save Cao Cao! Don't fight Cao Bing. ”

Zhang Fei laughed: "Mr. Xianmou, I will do something, you can rest assured." Cao Bing wanted to beat me, so I retreated ten miles, and then waited for dawn to ask for the guilt. ”

"However, what if Sun Jian is defeated?"

Zheng Ping shook the feather fan lightly and said with conviction: "Sun Jian and Cao Cao's military strength is equal, and now Cao Cao has won the plan of dividing the troops, adding a battalion to guard against me, and sending generals to chase Guan Ping's five hundred old and weak." The remaining soldiers and horses of the main battalion could not stop Sun Jian's entire army from attacking. ”

"It's quite interesting that this Sun Jian would even think of maintaining the reputation of the envoy."

"Reciprocate the favor, then leave some benefits for Sun Jian."

It's night.

Sun Jianqiang attacked Cao Cao's main camp.

Although Cao Cao was on guard, it was difficult to resist Sun Jian's attack due to the disparity in strength.

In embarrassment, Cao Cao could only abandon the main camp and go to the second battalion.

At this time, Zhang Fei had already led the troops to the outside of the second battalion, and was shouting: "General Cao, I am Zhang Fei, I have come to save you." ”

"Open the camp gates!"

Upon learning of Zhang Fei's arrival, Cao Cao subconsciously concluded that Zhang Fei had come to deceive the opening of the camp.

If the camp gate is opened, with Zhang Fei in front and Sun Jian in the back, won't the whole army be wiped out?

"Defend the gate!"

Cao Cao, who was frightened, didn't have time to think about it, so he only let the archers shoot at the formation and did not allow Zhang Fei to pass through.

Zhang Fei pretended to be angry: "General Cao, what do you mean?" I'm Zhang Fei, my eldest brother is Qingzhou Mu, I'm here to save you! ”

The more Zhang Fei shouted like this, the more Cao Cao didn't dare to open the door.

Only let Cao Hong shout: "The sky is dark, the camp can still be held, and General Zhang can come back during the day." ”

Zhang Fei couldn't help sneering: "Sure enough, as Mr. Xianmou expected, Cao Cao was too suspicious and didn't dare to let me get close." ”

Stay until dawn.

Sun Jian retreated, Zhang Fei led the troops again, and shouted: "General Cao, come out and answer!" ”

Cao Cao then drove his horse to see Zhang Fei at the gate of the camp: "General Zhang, where is General Guan?" ”

Zhang Fei pretended to be stupid: "You said that my second brother, he recently contracted a cold and went back to Linzicheng to recuperate." ”

Such a reason made Cao Cao secretly angry.

Cao Cao held his breath and asked, "Last night, Sun Jian came to attack the general's camp, does General Zhang know?" ”

Zhang Fei feigned anger and said: "General Cao, you are embarrassed to say!" I saw that your camp was attacked by Sun Jian's army, and I rushed to the aid of the starry night. If you don't appreciate it, forget it, you even said to me, 'It's dark, the camp can still hold on, and come back in the daytime'. ”

"Does General Cao think that I am coming to attack your camp?"

That's what I thought!

Cao Cao frowned secretly, but on the surface, he couldn't answer like this, and retorted with a chuckle: "General Zhang misunderstood. Ben General accidentally got the news that Sun Jian had demoted General Guan. ”

"It was dark last night, and it was difficult for the general to judge the authenticity, so he could only grieve General Zhang."

Zhang Fei said angrily: "Which villain dares to sow discord? General Cao, drag that man out, I'm going to kill him!" ”

Cao Cao shook his head helplessly: "It's not a secret, the main camp was attacked by Sun Jian's army last night, and that person didn't have time to take it away." ”

As soon as he thought of this, Cao Cao was depressed.

I only cared about escaping last night, and I didn't have time to take Huang Yi away.

Now seeing Zhang Fei questioning, Cao Cao can't show any witnesses.

Zhang Fei was even more angry: "General Cao, are you deliberately deceiving me?" You said that Sun Jian surrendered to my second brother, and he couldn't produce a witness, so slandering my second brother like this, is it really my second brother to be bullied? ”

Right now.

Guan Ping rode the red charcoal fire to Zhang Fei and cried grievances: "Third uncle, Xiahou Yuan intercepted me and robbed me of my baggage. ”

The loud voice immediately shocked Cao Cao on the spot.

Zhang Fei was furious: "Cao Cao, what do you mean by this?" Why did you let Xiahou Yuan intercept and kill my nephew? ”

Cao Cao can't say what he suffers now.

When Guan Ping shouted the words "Xiahou Yuan", Cao Cao guessed the reason.

What Guan Yu escorted Yuan Shu to Xiaopei is simply fake information and fake news.

Xiahou Yuan intercepted Guan Ping!

With Cao Cao's understanding of Xiahou Yuan, he would not rob Guan Ping's baggage.

It must be that Guan Ping ran away directly when he saw Xiahou coming!

"General Zhang, this is a misunderstanding."

"Someone must be using a divisive tactic!"

"General Zhang Mingjian!"

Xi Zhicai saw Cao Cao's face turn blue, and hurriedly shouted to Zhang Fei.

Guo Jia was awe-inspiring: "Ming Gong, don't argue with Zhang Fei, we have been tricked." Immediately return to Yingchuan, otherwise Zheng Ping will definitely leave Ming Gong here under the pretense of Sun Jian's hand! ”

"Unexpectedly, not only Sun Jian has surrendered, but even Yuan Shu's son-in-law will carry out Zheng Ping's bitter plan."

"It's me who miscalculated!"

Cao Cao finally reacted, looking at Zhang Fei with cold eyes, only to feel that Zhang Fei in front of him was disgusting when he was acting here.

"With the help of Sun Jian, Liu Xuande can still take advantage of the righteousness."

"What a sinister intention!"

Although Cao Cao was very reluctant, it was no longer possible to not withdraw at this time.

After falling into the plan of dividing the troops, Cao Cao made a wrong move, and the remaining military strength was no longer enough to resist Sun Jian.

But Sun Jian was determined to fight Cao Cao.

"Zhang Fei, go back and tell Zheng Ping that today's revenge will be avenged in the future!" Cao Cao simply didn't pretend, looked at Zhang Fei, who was still acting there, and said coldly.

Zhang Fei was not fooled, and pretended to be stupid and said, "General Cao, what are you talking about?" You don't seek out the one who sows discord, but you seek revenge on Mr. Xianmou? ”

Cao Cao didn't explain much, snorted coldly, returned to the tent, and then pulled out the camp and retreated to Yuzhou.

The withdrawal was very fast, as if they were afraid that if they stayed for one more day, they would be wiped out.

Inside the city of Huailing.

Zheng Ping found Huang Yi and praised him: "Huang Yi, your performance this time is very good. You can rest assured, Liu Envoy Jun is benevolent and virtuous, and he will not blame his family because of Yuan Shu's mistakes. ”

"However, Yuan Yao may not be willing to believe me, and you may have to go to Shouchun in person to appease Yuan Shu's old department for the envoy."

I'm stupid, stupid, stupid!! I'm scheduled for tomorrow, and I said I didn't update it.........
