Han Shimou

Cao Cao also did not order to go out of the city to cover up the killing, and allowed all the troops in the east of the Yangtze River to withdraw to their strongholds. **The two armies fought fiercely for a whole day, the sky gradually dimmed, and the red and yellow light shone on Xiapi City. I saw corpses all over the ground and bloodstains on the upper and lower walls of Xiapi City.A gust of breeze blew by, as if they were all stained with a strong smell of blood.

The cruelty of war seems to make people gradually numb, and seeing more flesh and blood, swords and guns, is not so terrible.The soldiers and civilians in Xiapicheng took a rest and prepared to deal with the battle tomorrow.

Cao Cao stood on the battle tower, looking at the scene around him, he could not let go of the tragic scene in his heart.The soldiers guarding behind Cao Cao stood silent.After a long time, Cao Cao just left.

Let's say that Zhou Yu retreated his troops back to the stronghold, and was discussing countermeasures with all the civil and military forces in Jiangdong.Suddenly a scout rushes into the account and reports that General Cao Ren of the Cao Army suddenly attacked Qiao County, Jiang Yin was captured, Yuzhou was lost, and all the soldiers and horses of the self-armed army in Yuzhou were wiped out.At this time, generals Cao Ren and Zhang Jai, Cao Zhang and others were coming from Yuzhou, and would soon reach the border of Xiapi.

Zhou Yu's expression changed drastically when he heard the words, but fortunately he had prepared early, anticipating that something might happen in Yuzhou, so he sent a team of scouts to Yuzhou to investigate.If this is not the case, wait for Cao Ren's soldiers and horses to arrive, and attack his army from behind.And Cao Cao, who was guarding the city of Xiapi, would also take the opportunity to send troops to attack, and immediately his army would be hit by the enemy, and he would suffer great losses.

The current situation is extremely urgent for Zhou Yu, and all the generals have the intention of withdrawing their troops.Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes, secretly noticing the looks of the generals, he was hesitating in his heart.Lu Xun attended and said admonishment.

"My lord's bones are not yet cold, and they are still in the hands of the old thief Cao. If our army withdraws here, we will be ridiculed by the people of the world. The governor, but don't worry, I have a trick to teach the old thief Cao, and there will be no place to die!!!"

When Zhou Yu heard this, his face became ecstatic, and he asked quickly.

"The plan comes from An, and Boyan will tell you quickly."

Lu Xun nodded slightly, his eyes were like a torch, and he said in a concentrated voice.

"Cao Zixiao's reinforcements are coming soon. There is a valley [-] miles southeast of Xiapi. It is the place where Yuzhou Wangxiapi must pass. You can ambush the police. The governor can set up an offensive in detail near the city. Cao Zixiao found it, and he must go through it. Send troops quickly to attack, immediately ambushes everywhere, and break them with one drum.

Killing his reinforcements, the governor can return his own body in his own way, ordering the army to decide Surabaya, so as to force the old thief to abandon the city and flee.At that time, we just need to ambush many soldiers in the place where he retreated, and we will surely capture and kill the old thief in one fell swoop! ! ! "

Zhou Yu's complexion changed rapidly, his eyes were frightened, and he suddenly clapped his palms and laughed loudly.

"Hahahaha!! Bo Yan's plan is very clever, your intelligence is so high that I really feel inferior to the governor!"

When Lu Xun heard the words, he bowed and bowed humbly and said.

"The chief governor is admirable. It's hard for me to be a mediocre talent. How dare I compare with the chief governor."

"Hey! Boyan, don't underestimate yourself. If you can capture and kill old thief Cao, it's all thanks to your efforts!"

Zhou Yu stepped down, walked up to Lu Xun, and slapped Lu Xun's shoulder heavily, his eyes full of appreciation.When he was young, Zhou Yu quickly followed Lu Xun's plan and sent orders to the generals. The generals led the order and left to make arrangements urgently.

The next day, Zhou Yu ordered heavy troops to attack Xiapi City again. Thirty thousand soldiers and horses concentrated on the north gate to attack, but the troops and horses of all ministries attacked slowly, all bluffing.Cao Cao saw it from the city, his brows were deeply furrowed, he didn't know what kind of medicine Zhou Yu was selling in the gourd, so he ordered his soldiers to be careful, and at the same time sent people to patrol around the city to guard against any accidents.

Zhou Yu bluffed like this for several days, just when Cao Jun was puzzled.Cao Ren led [-] soldiers and horses to the border of Xiapi.Cao Ren stopped the army suddenly, and ordered a team of scouts to investigate the situation of the battle.The team of scouts led the way, and Chili went in. At the end of the night, they arrived at the Jiangdong army stronghold. At that time, Zhou Yu had just returned to the stronghold.Cao Bing's scouts saw that all the troops in the east of the Yangtze River seemed to be focusing on attacking Xiapi City. They rested and cooked as soon as they returned to the camp, and did not take much precautions.Cao Bing's scouts watched for a long time, and quickly reported back to Cao Ren.When Cao Ren heard this, he was overjoyed, and quickly asked the soldiers to rest for the night, recharge their batteries, and launch an attack when the Jiangdong Army retreated back to the village the next day.

That night, Cao Zhang came to look for Cao Ren and volunteered to be a pioneer.Cao Ren frowned, unconsciously recalling a certain past event.When he was in Qiao County that day, he was very surprised when he saw that Cao Zhang had captured Jiang Dong's fierce general Jiang Yin when he came to see him.Later, I heard from the soldiers of Yuzhou that Xuchang City was saved by Cao Zhang's bravery.Only then did Cao Ren know that the third son of the Cao family had become a brave general in his own right.Later, Cao Zhang wanted to fight with the army, and Cao Ren also agreed to Cao Zhang's request.Because Cao Ren understands that if he wants to become a general, he must go through the training of war.

"Don't worry too much, uncle, my nephew will surely live up to his fate!"

When Cao Zhang saw Cao Ren ponder, he thought that Cao Ren didn't believe in his strength, so he asked for help again.Cao Ren heard the words, smiled slightly, and smiled at Cao Zhang.

"Haha. It's the king's good fortune that the third son has such determination. But the battle is not as simple as being fierce and fierce. Zhou Gongjin is a rare talent in the world, and you must be more cautious when fighting him. The so-called false is real, and real is false. The Jiangdong army may be unprepared, but there may be an ambush on the way. If our army is unprepared, it will be destroyed.

The vanguard is the head of an army, and its role is extremely important. It not only fights bravely and takes the opportunity first, but also pays attention to the surrounding battle situation and adapts accordingly.If the third son wants to take up this important position, he must be extremely cautious. "

Cao Ren taught patiently, and Cao Zhang listened carefully. He is talented and intelligent, and after listening to it, he understood most of the truth.

"Uncle's kind words, my nephew will definitely keep it in my heart. If my uncle doesn't think my nephew is not talented, my nephew is always ready!"

"Haha. Good! The last general wants to take Zhang Junyi as the vanguard general, and the third son is willing to be his deputy? Zhang Junyi is one of the few generals in our army who is courageous and thoughtful. If you By his side, he will definitely learn a lot of skills!"

Cao Ren smiled brightly, Cao Zhang's eyes sparkled, and he immediately accepted the order.Cao Ren then summoned Zhang Jaw to see him and gave them instructions one by one.

The next day, Cao Ren assembled his army and was ready to go. At noon, he swung his army into action.Zhang Jai first led three thousand elite soldiers, and Cao Zhang, Wang Yue and other generals took the lead.Zhang Jai marched all the way, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, whenever he went to a dangerous place, he had to make inquiries first to make sure it was safe, and then marched quickly.Cao Zhang watched them one by one, and Zhang Jaw would teach Cao Zhang from time to time.

When he was young, Zhang Jai's vanguard troops rushed to a valley, Zhang Jai's expression changed suddenly, he ordered the troops to stop, and immediately rode out to the battle, looking carefully around the valley.Seeing the dead silence in the valley, Cao Zhang didn't seem to have an ambush at all, so he rushed to ask Zhang Jaw.

"Why did General Zhang stop the process suddenly? Could it be that General Zhang discovered that there was an ambush buried in this valley?"

Open your jaw to listen to the words, but don't answer first.When I was young, the scouts reported that they had explored around the valley, but there was no sign of ambush.But Zhang Jaw still did not order the troops to continue marching.Cao Zhang frowned, and wanted to ask again.Zhang Jaw suddenly pointed to the jungle on the valley and said.

"Third Young Master, look at that jungle, there are many broken branches, many stepped notches on the grass, and there is a faint murderous aura coming from the valley. If I predict correctly, there must be an ambush here!"

When Cao Zhang heard the words, he was dubious and asked anxiously.

"If so, what should we do now?"

Zhang Jaw's tiger's eyes were shining brightly, he thought for a while, and said in a concentrated voice.

"You can use the plan to break the ambush. The general will send someone to report to the central army first. When he is young, the general will lure an army as bait, and the third son will lead the remaining soldiers and horses to ambush around the mouth of the valley. When the general enters the valley and earns the ambush army out, immediately The third son led the ambush army to attack head-on! Until General Cao's army arrived, they defeated the other army in one fell swoop!"

Seeing that Zhang Jai spoke with confidence, Cao Zhang didn't dare to make mistakes, so he followed Zhang Jai's order and led his troops to ambush around the mouth of the valley.After a while, Zhang Jai led the army into the valley.Cao Zhang was outside the valley, concentrating and listening carefully.

After about half a stick of incense, there was a sudden and earth-shattering shout of killing in the valley.The sound of countless piercing arrows and the sound of boulders falling to the ground exploded one after another.Cao Zhang was terrified when he heard this, thinking that if he were to lead the vanguard today, most of them would undoubtedly pass through this valley and be ambushed by the Jiangdong Army, and he would suffer heavy losses.

Cao Zhang thought to himself, and felt admiration for Cao Ren's foresight and Zhang Jaw's use of troops.After Cao Zhang thought about it, he ordered his soldiers to prepare for battle.After a series of violent noises, Zhang Jaw led his troops to escape from Taniguchi in a panic.Afterwards, there was a group of soldiers and horses Chili chasing him, and the leading general was Jiangdong fierce general Xu Shengye.

Cao Zhang shook his spirits, and seeing Xu Sheng's deployment all rushed out of the valley, he immediately issued an order.At that moment, the sound of beating drums was loud, and Cao Zhang sent out his troops to intercept Xu Sheng's deployment.Unexpectedly, Jiangdong soldiers were in chaos.Zhang Ja turned around angrily, patted his horse and rushed to fight, leading the army to attack Cao Zhang back and forth.I saw that Cao Zhang was very brave, dancing the huge black iron giant sword and rushing into the Jiangdong Army's formation, dancing airtightly, rushing from left to right, like a tiger plunging into a flock of sheep.Xu Sheng saw a small general killing all directions in his own army, his tiger eyes widened, he gave a loud shout, and suddenly he raised his gun and rushed to kill.Cao Zhang was rushing to kill, when he suddenly saw a general in Yinkai yellow robe coming towards him, he grinned wickedly, and without fear of retaliation, he charged forward on his horse and attacked first.Cao Zhang swung the giant black iron sword with all his strength, and watched Xu Sheng slash his head.Seeing the huge sword in Cao Zhang's hand, Xu Sheng thought that the attack must be extremely cumbersome, but he didn't expect that Cao Zhang had supernatural power and swung it extremely fast.The giant black iron sword came crashing down, Xu Sheng hurriedly reined in his horse to avoid it, Cao Zhang saw that his eyes were sick, he yelled, and slashed across with his sword.Xu Sheng hurriedly put his gun against it, and there was a loud 'bang', Xu Sheng and his horse were knocked back several meters.

"This kid is so powerful!!"

Xu Sheng looked at Cao Zhang with horror on his face.The evil smile on Cao Zhang's face became even brighter, he slapped the horse suddenly and came over to fight again.Xu Sheng squinted his tiger eyes, his face was cold, and he immediately greeted him.Cao Zhang slashed three times in a row, but Xu Sheng dodged all of them with agility.As soon as the three-sword attack stopped, Xu Sheng saw a gap behind Cao Zhang, and suddenly fired his gun, stabbing out.Unexpectedly, Cao Zhang exposed it on purpose, dodged it quickly, and before Xu Sheng could react, he slashed at Xu Sheng's chest with his sword.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Sheng forced out the potential in his body, bent over and dodged, and the fierce sword wind blew over.Xu Sheng was frightened for a while, he managed to kill a shot, swung his legs, reined in his horse and retreated.
