Chapter 440: Difficulties(1/2)
(ps: In a few more hours, it will be doubled. At 0 o'clock on the 29th, the monthly ticket will be here!)
Song Kai returned to Xuzhou Camp very smoothly and reported to Deputy Director Tao the result of the envoy Cao's army. Deputy Director Tao was not surprised by the fact that Boss Cao promised to reschedule the decisive battle - the strength of Xuzhou Army
After putting it here, even if Boss Cao refused to agree, he was destined to have no choice but to do anything to Deputy Director Tao. What Deputy Director Tao is most concerned about is Boss Cao's physical condition, so after Song Kai reported Boss Cao's reply, Deputy Tao
The director immediately asked Song Kai again: "What is the reaction after Cao Zhe saw the letter I wrote to him?"
Song Kai answered truthfully: "Lord, after reading your letter, Cao Zhe stayed for about half a cup of tea, and then asked the villain with a strange expression, saying, "Lord, why is your writing style very similar to him?" Later, Xiao
The man answered him like this... Then Cao Thief said that he admired you very much, and said that he lost in your hands. He was convinced and finally agreed to a decisive battle tomorrow."
"I'm convinced by losing?" Deputy Director Tao said with a smile: "This traitor even said such words. Does he know that his deadline is approaching and he has given his last words?"
The poisonous substances Jia Lao, Liu Ye and others next to him laughed and agreed with Deputy Director Tao's judgment. Only Xun Chen, who had suffered a great loss in the hands of Lao Da, reminded: "Lord, please be careful, Cao's thief is treacherous, you must
In case he pretended to be discouraged and desperate, he secretly emerged from the surprise attacker."
Deputy Director Tao nodded, and like Xun Chen, he did not dare to take Boss Cao lightly. However, Song Kai suddenly said again: "Lord. Please forgive me for saying that the thief Cao may be coming this time, so he asked the thief to do so.
The words of admiration that you bring to you should also be his heartfelt words.”
"How do you know?" Deputy Director Tao asked.
"The villain only met Cao thief once last afternoon." Song Kai replied respectfully: "When the villain saw Cao thief again this morning, he found that he had just disappeared for a night. Cao thief seemed to have worsened a lot, and
The villain kept coughing in pain when he spoke, his voice was weak, his expression was very weak and haggard, and his hands were trembling involuntarily. Although the villain did not understand medical skills, he also felt that such a condition did not seem to be pretending."
"Have you heard of the story of making Cao Shuang cheating?" Deputy Director Tao sneered and blurted out the wrong allusion. After discovering this mistake, Deputy Director Tao quickly changed the subject and waved to Song Kai and ordered: "Okay. You are here
The Cao thief team did a good job when they were on two missions. Go down and receive rewards. Don’t spread the matters of Cao thief seriously ill in the military camp, so as not to underestimate the enemy or relax.”
Song Kai bowed and thanked him, and quickly said goodbye and left the central army tent. It was not until this time that Jia Lao Poison asked Deputy Director Tao: "Lord, Cao's thief promised a decisive battle tomorrow. I wonder if the lord plans to keep the agreement and fight to the decisive battle or use another method.
Defeat the enemy?"
"We are not tired of deceiving the war. Our enemy is not only Cao Zhe." Deputy Director Tao said calmly: "After breaking the main force outside the pass of Cao Zhe, we also attacked Hangu Pass, Hongnong City, Tongguan and Chang'an City, and when we were in Tongguan, we were still in the city.
It is likely that it is the decisive battle between us and the Cao and Liu coalition. Although our army is several times more than the enemy, it is a good thing to lose fewer soldiers."
The famous vicious Jia Lao Poison nodded immediately and agreed with Deputy Director Tao's treason - in fact, it was not considered treason. The Xuzhou Army did not agree not to attack Cao's army before the agreed decisive battle time. At the same time, the Xuzhou Army's decision-making level was also
I was extremely suspicious that Cao's army would launch a sneak attack at night and catch the Xuzhou army off guard. After finalizing the decision to use a plan to defeat the enemy, Jia Lao Poison suggested: "Since the lord has decided, then the time for our army to send troops is best.
It is decided before the third update, so that even if Cao Mengde sends troops to attack our army, we can do our best to start first."
Deputy Director Tao nodded and immediately asked the guards to blow the trumpet and raise the tent. He summoned the generals to announce the decision of the night attack, demanded that all the troops and battalions be prepared for night battles, arranged for Jia Lao poisonous drugs, Xu Huang, Song Xian and others to stay in the camp and strictly prevent Cao's army from
Taking the opportunity to hijack the camp, he decided to personally lead Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and other generals to command 40,000 main forces to attack the enemy camp at night, and attacked the Cao army camp in front of him. At the same time, Deputy Director Tao explained to Wei Yan a difficult situation.
The mission was ordered to lead the army directly into Hangu Pass Valley Road, completely cutting off the Cao army's return.
The attack time was set by Deputy Director Tao at the second minute of the first minute of the second minute of the first minute of the first minute of the first minute of the first minute, and decided to leave the camp, and take an hour to arrive in front of the Cao army camp, and launch an attack on the Cao army camp before the second minute of the second minute of the third minute to prevent Cao Boss.
After explaining the time of the battle, Deputy Director Tao said to the generals under his command: "All the generals, I don't hide it from you. Cao thief is treacherous. I, Junshi Jia and I, can't judge whether Cao thief can predict our army.
We will send troops to rob the camp tonight. If Cao thief guesses our army's actions, then his army will definitely be prepared and we will face a fierce battle."
"But it doesn't matter." Deputy Director Tao said again: "Our army's attacking force is more than three times the total enemy's strength, and its combat power is far above the enemy. Therefore, even if the enemy is prepared, even set up a net to wait for our army.
As long as our army is mentally prepared to fight to the end, we will definitely be the winner of this decisive battle!"
"Please rest assured, lord, I will fight to fight the enemy bravely to repay lord's kindness!" The generals of Xuzhou answered neatly with their fists.
Deputy Director Tao nodded with satisfaction, called Zhao Yun and Wei Yan again, and ordered them: "Zilong, you are the pioneer, Wen Chang, your mission is to cut off the enemy's way back. If Cao's team has ambushed, your team will be
You will be the first to be affected. You know how to do it then?"
"I know!" Zhao Yun and Wei Yan replied in unison: "Fight to the end of the death, never retreat! Wait for the arrival of the lord's rear army, and join forces with the lord to defeat the enemy!"
"Very good!" Deputy Director Tao nodded happily and said, "Distribute the account, let's go down to rest and prepare, and wait for the battle to defeat Cao tonight!"
The order for the night attack was conveyed, and more than 70,000 Xuzhou soldiers took action immediately. Xuzhou soldiers who were preparing to go out to fight to sharpen their swords and guns, checked the dry food of bows, crossbows, feathers, arrows, and food, prepared enough torches, turbulent oil and flying muskets, etc., etc., arson lighting must be set on the night battle.
Take the time to rest and maintain your physical strength. Prepare for the arduous night battle. The soldiers of Xuzhou who stayed in the camp dug deep into the trenches and set up deer antlers, arrange double scouts to explore horses and look out for light and dark, and determine the guard gates, granaries, horse corridors and
The generals and other key points of the Central Military Camp tent directly issued the arrangements and orders to guard the various sections of the villages to the Qutun organization, and the entire Xuzhou camp was shrouded in a tense atmosphere of preparation for war.
At the same time, Deputy Director Tao naturally had to arrange elite scouts to closely monitor the movements in Cao Jun camp. As a result, Deputy Director Tao sneered repeatedly that Cao Jun camp was indeed closed and was on guard against strict security, and a large number of scout sentries were arranged to protect the surrounding areas of the camp.
, and did not give Xuzhou army scouts a chance to approach Cao's camp to reconnaissance the enemy situation. A team of Xuzhou who tried to cover the Cao's camp with grass and rocks. They were also chased by as many as hundreds of Cao's scouts and were driven out in one breath
Nearly ten miles away, the news was delivered to Deputy Director Tao. Deputy Director Tao immediately sneered loudly and said, "My father-in-law, it seems that you are really planning to attack the camp at night. Come on. Let's see which of us has the fastest speed!"
The autumn sun finally dropped to the west under the horizon, and the sky gradually began to turn dark, just after the third minute of the first update. Zhao Yun and Wei Yan's 20,000 troops took the lead in the camp, and took advantage of the last light to assemble outside the camp. The two generals Zhao and Wei were assembled.
After bowing hands and taking care of each other, they immediately raised their troops toward the direction of Cao's camp. As soon as the two vanguard teams left, Deputy Director Tao, Xu Chu, Ma Yan and other generals immediately led 20,000 troops out of the camp and fired torches.
After the assembly outside the camp, Deputy Director Tao also took care of each other with Lao Jia and others who were left behind in the camp, and then ordered in a deep voice, "Start."
The distance of twenty Hanli is only about eight kilometers now, and the distance is not too far. In order to retain the strength of the soldiers, the four fronts and backs of the Xuzhou Army marched west at normal walking speeds, and there was no one to do anything.
The horse was carrying a horse and the hoof was just not making too loud noises as much as possible to prevent the Cao army from discovering its own military's tracks too early. At the same time, in order to prevent the Cao army from attacking early, Deputy Director Tao must send a large number of elite scouts to reconnaise the road ahead and the two
He hugged him carefully and sneaked to Cao's camp.
Deputy Director Tao's arrangement achieved an absolutely unexpected gain. When halfway through the road, several Xuzhou scouts took a Cao army soldier to Deputy Director Tao and recited for the leader: "Report to lord, little
The man and the man encountered this Cao soldier on the southern road, but strangely, he not only did not run away, but also took the initiative to face our army and asked the villain to bring him to see you immediately, saying that there was something important to report to you.
You, the god of sage, found it strange, so you sent a villain to take him over."
"Is there such a thing?"
Deputy Director Tao also felt a little strange and immediately ordered the guards to take the Cao soldier to him and ask him in person what happened. However, the Cao soldier begged first: "Please ask the Grand Marshal to let the villain move his left hand."
"What?!" Deputy Director Tao was shocked and quickly shouted: "Let go of his left hand!"
The guard followed the order. After Cao Jun got his left hand moved, he immediately pressed the ring finger and tail finger with his left thumb, stretched his index finger and middle finger, pinched out a sword finger, and then pointed his eyebrows, forehead and
The heart finally reached into his arms, took out a small iron card from his close body, showed the pottery character on the iron card, and whispered: "The king covered the earth tiger, the pagoda river-suppressing demon. The second team of the inner guards
Gu Dashi, the captain of the third team, paid homage to the lord, but could not give him a full tribute, so he asked him to forgive him. The villain was responsible for contacting our army on behalf of General Cao Hong, and had been lurking in the Cao army for seven years."
"Let him go, it's your own person." Seeing that the secret code and token were correct, Deputy Director Tao was immediately overjoyed and quickly asked the guard to release the secret guards who were placed in Cao Hong in the Cao army for him, and then asked impatiently: "Yes,
Did Brother Yi send you here? What happened?"
"Report to lord, yes." Gu Dashi nodded and said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to lord, congratulations to lord, Cao Cao is no longer possible. The medical officers in the Cao army all believe that Cao Cao may not survive tonight."
"What? Cao Zhe may die tonight?!"
Deputy Director Tao was shocked and hurriedly asked Gu Dashi for details. Gu Dashi reported truthfully. Deputy Director Tao then realized that after sending Xuzhou army envoy Song Kai this morning, Boss Cao vomited blood and fell into a coma on the way back to the camp.
In the past, after being rescued back to the camp, the unconscious Boss Cao was blocked by thick phlegm several times, and his throat almost died. When Dian Wei and others were guiding phlegm for Boss Cao, all the sucked out were bloody and thick phlegm. Cao Jun Medical Officer
When Sima Lang took Cao's pulse personally, he also confirmed that Cao's pulse was weak and it was not a pretender. He also concluded that Cao's pulse was difficult to survive tonight. Sima Lang found an excuse to arrange Gu Dashi to return to Hangu Pass and asked Gu Dashi to
He took the opportunity to sneak out of the valley road halfway and returned to the Xuzhou military camp to report to Deputy Director Tao. As a result, Gu Dashi climbed up the cliff from the valley road, and then took the small paths in the mountains and detours eastward, and happened to run into the reconnaissance scout of the Xuzhou army.
"Lord, this is a good opportunity to defeat the enemy given to us by God!" Liu Ye next to him said happily: "Cao thief is seriously ill and is about to die. Our army takes the opportunity to attack. Not only will Cao thief die suddenly immediately, but our army can also take advantage of Cao Cao's thief.
The thief team has a chance to have no leader, and will wipe out his main force from the pass! Ye suggested that our army should speed up immediately. Let the soldiers beat drums and shout to attack the enemy camp, and they will definitely win a complete victory!"
The opportunity to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop was right in front of him, but Deputy Director Tao hesitated instead. After a moment of calculation, Deputy Director Tao suddenly ordered Ma Zhong: "Ma Zhong. You personally hold my season. Riding a fast horse to chase Zhao Yun and Wei Yan
The team told Zhao Yun and Wei Yan that the camp robbery operation tonight was cancelled. Let their team stop moving forward, line up on the spot, and set up more torches, and wait for our rear army to join them!"
"Master, what are you doing?" Ma Zhong and Liu Ye both screamed in shock.
"Don't talk nonsense, go now!" Deputy Director Tao shouted with a stern face.
It is rare to see Deputy Director Tao look harsh to him once, and Ma Zhong did not dare to speak too much. He quickly took Deputy Director Tao's season order and rode a fast horse to chase Zhao Yun and Wei Yan's team. Deputy Director Tao immediately ordered the entire army.
The torch was set off and quickly chased Zhao Yun and Wei Yan's team. At the same time, Deputy Director Tao ordered the entire army to be ordered. Without his own order, no generals were allowed to lead the army to attack Cao's camp. Those who violated the order were immediately executed on the spot! The generals of Xuzhou Army heard that
It was shocked, but he didn't dare to ignore it. He could only order the torch to be fired and follow Deputy Director Tao to chase the vanguard team quickly.
When Ma Zhong caught up with Wei Yan and Zhao Yun's team, Wei Yan and Zhao Yun's team were only three miles away from Cao's camp. Looking at it, you can see the sparse lights in Cao's camp. After Ma Zhong's order to hold the feud, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan also told Deputy Tao.
The director discovered that the enemy was in trouble and quickly ordered the entire army to stop advancing. However, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan were a little confused about the order that Deputy Director Tao asked to fire a torch from the army, and both asked Ma Zhong: "Ma Zhong."
General, have you passed the order wrong? If the enemy is in trouble and we set up a torch, wouldn’t our position be exposed immediately?”
"General, don't worry, there is no mistake in passing." Ma Zhong replied helplessly to Zhao Yun and Wei Yan: "The lord not only asks you to set up a torch, but also asks you to set up a torch." After hearing Ma Zhong's clear order, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan were asked to set up a torch.
They were all confused, so they could only order the army to form a formation and show more torches.
……………………
After nearly 20,000 torches appeared in the dark east, the Cao army camp, which had not yet noticed that the Xuzhou army approached, suddenly became in chaos. Each battalion and army quickly came out of the tent to gather, rushed to the gates to prepare for the battle, and at the same time flew again.
He reported to the Central Military Camp where the eldest son Cao was. Upon hearing the news, Guo Jia, Dian Wei, Cheng Yu, Zhang Liao and other civil and military officials who were guarding Cao's sickbed suddenly changed their faces and cursed together, "Traitor!
Well, the decisive battle tomorrow will come to rob the camp tonight! It’s extremely shameless!"
"Donalds, you are here to guard the lords. I will lead my troops out to fight against the Taoist thieves!" Dian Wei roared angrily: "Even if I die, I will still defend the camp and kill the enemy!"
Maybe it was because he was awakened by Dian Wei's loud voice. At this moment, Boss Cao, who had been unconscious for six or seven hours, suddenly made a little sound. When Dian Wei, Guo Jia and others heard it, they quickly turned their heads to see Cao.
When the boss was in the situation, he saw that Boss Cao had slowly opened his eyes and his throat was still rumbling. Dian Wei quickly sucked blood and phlegm for Boss Cao. Boss Cao took a few breaths and asked with difficulty.
He said: "What happened? Why is it so noisy outside the tent?"
No one dared to answer Cao's question, but the sound of Cao's soldiers running and gathering and shouting to prepare for war outside the tent clearly told Cao that the danger had arrived. Cao's father thought about it and asked in a weak voice: "
