~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cao Chun's plan was very good and his actions were very smooth. He first took the dangerous road and walked around the front of the Liaodong people, cut off the mountain road with messy wood and gravel. Then he led his army to advance for more than 20 miles. At a pass called Hulukou, he urgently built a simple village to prepare to block the Liaodong people.
Of course, Cao Chun did not expect to cut off the mountain road to stop the Liaodong people. At most, he could only delay some time. His purpose was this, including his construction of a village to block the opponent's itinerary. According to his estimate, as long as he could withstand two or three days, Cao Hong's army would appear.
The Liaodong people have similar forces as themselves, and they are mostly cavalry, so they are difficult to exert their power in this mountainous land, so they can build a village first and block it for two days. Cao Chun is full of confidence in the defense of the village he built, and he realizes that even if there are three times more Liaodong people, he can withstand it. Cao Chun also knows that there is a Zhuyuan Pass behind him, but he guards the important road, and at the same time, he also wants to intercept the messenger sent by the Liaodong people to ask for help. If the other party does not follow this road and changes to the fork road, the distance will be doubled. When Zhuyuan Pass receives the news, it will be too late. If you take the water route... Yingshui originates from Songshan Mountain, with a large slope upstream, and you cannot travel too far, and you will eventually have to return to the right path.
Cao Chun used himself to judge others and thought that the whole world's army was sending letters by fast horses. This was no wonder. At this time, 99% of the army in the world were like this. Only the Liaodong Army was different. They used the letters of Xinying...
Guo Jia and his party had nearly a hundred people. After crossing the river for more than ten miles, they naturally could not hide it from Cao Chun. After all, the river was placed there. Ten rafts were majestic, even if the sky was late. When you looked down from the top of the mountain, you could see it.
Cao Chun did not plan to attack, but firstly he was not sure, Ma Han's reputation was too good; secondly, his purpose was to delay time. Wouldn't it be better to block the enemy with Yi and wait for him? It would be even better if the opponent did not attack. If he delayed this for two days...
But the next morning, he received a report from two fish that had missed the net and felt like they were eaten by thunder. He was stunned.
A whole team of elite cavalrymen, except for two who were lucky enough to save one of their lives when they went out to watch, were wiped out! Cao Anmin died! Cao Ang was captured!
This Ma Qian is so powerful? Can't he even escape when he fights him?
At this time, another news came: "The raft of the Liaodong people was flowing downstream again, probably the wolf rider who had picked up the horse and came to meet."
Cao Chun was red with his eyes and decisively ordered: "Give up the village and attack the Liaodong people's chariots and horses."
The situation changed instantly, and Cao Chun knew that it was meaningless to defend the village again. Cao Ang fell into the hands of the Liaodong people. If he was still foolish in defending the village, the other party would just push the eldest son in front of the village. Do you give way? There is still a chance to turn the tables, which is to raid the team of chariots and horses before Ma Han and his wolf cavalry cross the river.
Cao Chun had discovered that the team of chariots and horses were composed of guards from the two daughters of Guo Jia from Yangdi and Cai Zhonglang. However, there were only 20 or 30 people in the war, and they were definitely not his opponents. They raided them, defeated them, captured them, and finally exchanged hostages with Ma Han for them - this is the only way to recover the defeat at present. As for the wishful thinking of interception, capture and other wishes, Cao Chun threw them out of the sky. If Cao Ang was able to exchange Cao Ang, it would burn incense. I still don't know if they would like to change them.
No matter what, Cao Chun must bet. If Cao Ang loses, he will not be able to go back to see his elder brother. He would rather die with Ma Han.
...
At dawn, a wolf cavalry soldier carried a raft to Guo Jia and his party who had crossed the river in advance: Last night, the lord used thirty wolf cavalry as bait to paralyze Cao's army and led the ten wolf cavalry to raid at night. He killed Cao Anmin, deputy general of Cao's army, and captured the chief general Cao Ang, and all the pursuers of Cao's army were annihilated.
For a moment, everyone cheered and the rocks fell on the ground.
At this time, an inappropriate voice sounded: "The female family returned to the car and left only a small number of child servants, while the rest of the people were all hidden."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and looked at the speaker - Guo Jia.
At this time, Guo Jia still had a calm expression and nodded to Cai Zhaoji and a young man carrying a gun bag. He said, "If you need two assistance later, you will probably visit you soon."
The "guest" comes faster than expected.
In less than half an hour, a Cao army infantry with about 70 people appeared on the mountain road. The team of soldiers dressed similarly to the cavalry, with their heads wrapped in black scarves, neck scarves of the same color, and a few were wearing two worn-out armors. They could tell at a glance that they were the team leader or the garrison leader. Their weapons and equipment were also very ordinary, including spears or halberds, a small number of wooden shields, and more than a dozen crossbowmen. Although the equipment was simple, each soldier had a ruthless and murderous aura on his face, and at a glance he knew that he was a warrior who had been through the battlefield for a long time.
When Cao Cao first attacked Xuzhou, the combat power of Cao's army was at most second-rate, but he had already beaten the third-rate Xuzhou army torture. After two years of bloody battles, the second-rate battle against Xuzhou and the fierce battle against Lu Bu, Cao Cao finally polished a first-class strong army that was no less than Lu Bu's Bingzhou Iron Cavalry. This infantry and cavalry entourage of Cao's uncle and nephew was one of the best.
Cao Chun was the only general riding a horse. At this moment, he wore a leather helmet and two shiny black armor. He held a spear and hung a bow on his side, and walked in the middle of the team. Cao Chun firmly believed that with the team of soldiers he led, he could definitely defeat the gang of guards and servants before the horseman arrived.
Just as he turned a corner, a spy with a small flag on his back ran up ahead, quickly passing through the middle of the team, kneeling before Cao Chun on one knee: "Report to Sima, I discovered the enemy, but..."
"Um?"
"But, he, they..." The spy's expression was indescribable and he didn't know how to report it.
After Cao Chun turned two more turns, he saw clearly the situation in front of him and finally understood why the spy had such an expression on his face.
A winding mountain road leads to the riverside, with weeds on both sides and deep shrubs. A little further away, there are lush forests. In the distance, the wide water flows quietly, and on the banks of the river, there are only two carts and one ox cart.
The strings are faint and clear. The sound of the piano is faint and as ethereal as a illusion. Only the sound of it is heard, but no one is seen.
The cart is closed tightly, the ox cart is safe, and the surroundings are empty, and no one is seen--no, there is one person.
Above the ox cart, a white-clothed scholar who was about the same age as himself. He leaned on the ox cart, holding a chin in one hand and holding a roll in the other hand, and read a book leisurely and calmly with the melodious sound of the piano.
Cao Chun was stunned, and all his seventy soldiers were stunned. If they knew a word in the future, they would definitely scream at the same time - show off, too pretentious!
Cao Jun came here with murderous aura, but what he saw was this calm and gentle scene. It seemed that he had enough energy, but he punched the empty place. He was even more at a loss.
What is this situation? Ma Han has crossed Yingshui and set up ambush on both sides of the mountain road? Who is this man in white?
"He is Guo Jia." Cao Jun sent out the identity of this white-clothed scholar.
Guo Jia?!No matter how you look at this person, he is a weak scholar, but looking at his fearless and confident look, is it that Cao Chun can't touch the other person's background for a while and hesitates.
So, on the shore of this deep mountain, a strange scene appeared: on one side was a group of soldiers holding swords and spears, as if they were dumbfounded. On the other side was a scholar who was listening to the piano and reading books. This made people feel an illusion. A mere scholar blocked nearly a hundred soldiers.
It is true that Cao Chun is a war general. But he is definitely not a reckless man like Dian Wei and Zang Ba who can't read a few words. On the contrary, he is a very knowledgeable and talented Confucian general. Under the ethereal sound of the piano, he seemed to have been cleansed from his murderous aura. He slowly closed his eyes, and his face showed an intoxication. He even knocked on the ground rhythmically, as if he was in harmony.
The fierce soldiers of the Cao army were almost unaffected by the sound of the piano. No matter how beautiful the sound of the piano was, for these fighting men, they were just playing the piano against a cow. They looked at each other, looked at the scholar, and looked at the master general, and were at a loss. They were waiting for the order, but their master general seemed to be immersed in the sound of heaven...
This strange scene lasted for only a half moments. Cao Chun, who was intoxicated, suddenly opened his eyes and shone coldly, and a long smile appeared in his mouth: "Empty City Scheme! Who knows if this is the rest of the elder brother playing with?" He shouted loudly, and the spear was shaking and galloping. The Cao army soldiers behind him screamed, waved their swords and spears, and rushed towards him.
Guo Jia lying in a lie motionless manner, his expression calm and composed, as if there were only a group of native chickens and tiled dogs coming.
In fact, if it were someone else, Guo Jia's empty city plan would really scare people. But he didn't know that just last year, Cao Cao had just used this plan, and Cao Chun was by his side at that time.
At the turn of summer and autumn in the second year of Xingping, Cao's army was harvesting wheat outside the city, and Lu Bu came to attack. Because he was not enough to recruit soldiers, Cao Cao was quick to learn, opened the city gate, and placed old and weak on the city wall. Lu Bu was suspicious for a moment, and the forest outside the city was dense and unfathomable. Lu Bu was unable to see if Cao's army had ambushed, so he dared not attack, so he retreated in disappointment. On the way to retreat, he met with Chen Gong's troops and received Chen Gong's guidance, and realized that he had fallen into Cao Cao's plan. Lu Bu was ashamed and angry, and then he rushed his army to attack, but this time, Cao Cao really set up an ambush in the woods and severely injured Lu Bu. It was this decisive battle that defeated Lu Bu and drove him out of Yanzhou completely.
How could Cao Chun remember such a classic and turning point battle? How could Guo Jia plays this trick?
"Kill!" Cao's army had just rushed into fifty steps, and the woods on both sides shot out dozens of arrows, instantly knocking out six or seven people.
"No, there is an ambush!" Cao Jun was panicked.
"Don't panic, the sword and shield hand thrust forward, and the spear and halberd hand then enter the forest to kill the enemy. The enemy is just some servants and servants, and is definitely not our opponents." Cao Chun directed loudly, and rushed towards the pretender who was lying on the ox cart at the end of the mountain road.
"Ma Han refused to leave hundreds of miles just to invite this person out of the mountain. I believe he must have a considerable amount in his mind. If he captured him, he would definitely be able to exchange for Zi Xiu." Cao Chun made up his mind and ignored the bloody battles on both sides, slapped his horse and swung his spear, and took the target directly.
Unexpectedly, just after more than ten steps, a person suddenly rushed out of the forest, waved his sword, chopped the horse's feet, and shouted: "With me, Jia Ji, here, I will never let you hurt Zhao Ji..."
Cao Chun didn't even twitch his eyes, held a spear in his hands, and looked downwards, blocking the ring-headed knife. With the rushing force of the war horse, he shouted with both arms and lifted Jia Ji and the man with his sword and fell into the bushes.
Jia Ji tried his best to fight with his life, and he couldn't even block Cao Chun for a moment.
Guo Jia slowly put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and his cold eyes reflected the rushing cavalry general. At some point, the sound of the piano was already in full swing...
"Guo Fengxiao, get out!" Cao Chun had already disliked this pretentious guy. When he was still ten steps away from the other party, he speared and was about to take a picture of the man off the ox cart. He fell to his nose and face and saw how he pretended.
Huh! A long spear suddenly flew out of the forest, as fast as lightning, and took Cao Chun straight.
Cao Chungang was attacked once and kept guarding. He shook his spear and slapped on the pole. The spear and spear hit each other. The long spear was shattered and inserted obliquely on the mud in front of the horse. The war horse was frightened and a long neighing sounded. The man stood up and almost lifted Cao Chun off the horse.
At this time, Cao Chun's whole arm was numb and his chest was stuffy. He felt like he wanted to vomit blood. He was shocked in his heart - the force contained in the long spear was too strong.
At this moment, the front hooves of the war horse were still lifting high, and Cao Chun was still enduring the discomfort and trying hard to squeeze the horse's belly to avoid falling off the horse.
A figure rushed out in the dense forest with thunder, quickly pulled out the long spear inserted on the ground, and stabbed it up diagonally.
Puff! The long spear pierced into the abdomen of the war horse, then pierced through the horse's back, pierced the saddle, and finally penetrated straight into Cao Chun's valley...
Cao Chun let out a shocking roar, connected with the war horse, and fell heavily on the mountain road. As blood mud splattered everywhere, Cao Chun roared unwillingly throughout the valley: "Who are you!"
"Who are you-who are you-"
This roar of grief and anger continued to echo over the valley.
The visitor shook his arm with one blow, and with a thud, he pulled out the blood spear without minding that the mixed blood of the people splattered half of his body. The expression on his face was exactly the indifferentness that Cao Chun hated the most: "Runan Chendao Chendao." (To be continued)
