Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 135 134 This kid is indeed a shocking talent

In Xiao Guan's political hall, Cao Cao summoned all the generals.

Gan Ning revealed Lin Mo's plan on the sand table, detailing everything.

Sneak into the team and fall into the camp; the time is midnight at night; the general who attacked the city was Zhao Yun;

Judging from the whole set of military strategies, both Cao Cao and Xun You nodded in praise, which can be said to be watertight.

If you don't know this secret path, the success rate of this strategy is quite high.

If Gan Xingba didn't come to join him, he wouldn't be able to use this secret path.

Cao Cao had to sigh with emotion, time is fate.

"Okay, Xingba, if you hadn't come in time, Xiao Guan would have lost such a thorough plan, I'm afraid I might not have the life to go back to Xuchang."

Cao Cao has never been stingy with the appreciation of meritorious ministers, "I will remember your achievements, go on."

"Thank you, Sikong!" Gan Ning bowed excitedly, turned around and strode away.

All the generals in the hall were full of fighting spirit. Judging from the strength of the troops mentioned by Gan Ning just now, Lv Bu invested a total of 5 troops this time, and the most elite troops were the cavalry led by Zhao Yun. It's just delivered to the door, of course I can't help but ask for a fight.

Cao Cao stared at the sand table without saying a word for a long time, until the generals stopped calling for battle and waited for him to give an order, then he looked at Xun You, "What does Gongda say?"

Xun You bowed knowingly first, and then said solemnly: "There is no contradiction in the plan Gan Ning said, and Lin Mo doesn't even know that we have discovered the secret way, it's not like surrendering."

Pausing for a moment, Xun You stroked his short white beard and thought for a while. When he looked at Cao Cao again, his eyes were firm, "I agree with the ambush!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly towards the handsome chair.

After sitting down, he smiled lightly at first, and then said to himself: "This Gan Ning, first from Liu Yan, then from Liu Biao, and then from Lu Bu, plus his reputation as a Jinfan thief, he is naturally in Lu Ying. It's hard to be trusted.

I don’t know if you have heard of one thing. Sun Ce under the city of Guangling once sent a hundred cavalry to rob the camp. Gan Ning’s troops were caught off guard. In the end, it was Gao Shun who trapped the camp and captured the hundred cavalry. Forty batons. "

After being reminded by Cao Cao, everyone reacted and nodded repeatedly.

They still remember this incident, and they did mention it when the scouts reported back. At that time, Cao Cao laughed and scolded, water bandits are water bandits, embarrassing.

I never thought it would be of great use today.

Cao Cao slowly closed his eyes, and tapped his right hand on the armrest of the handsome chair.

The panic shown by the other party under his burst of drinking, the banditry of the Jinfan bandit, and his introductory words are not contradictory, even if he is suspicious like Cao Cao, he doesn't think there is any problem with him.

The most important point is that Gan Xingba feigned surrender. From the perspective of the plan, Lin Mo had no way of attacking him. After all, he took the initiative to attack.

Now, Cao Cao has an extra thought. According to the distance, is there any way to take advantage of this ambush to capture Pengcheng.

Of course, this idea just passed by in a flash. There are only about 3 people in the entire Xiaoguan. Except for the Leopard Cavalry, none of them are elite, and it is impossible to do such a thing.

However, according to what Gan Xingba said, the internal war in Pengcheng is extremely sharp now, and this battle should also be a battle between Lu Bu and Lin Mo.

If they win, they can appease the morale of the army. If they lose, even if they don't attack the city, they can't deal with internal conflicts.

Cao Cao finally made up his mind, opened his eyes suddenly, put his right hand on the handsome table and said in a deep voice:

"Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and you lead the [-] guard camps in the city, and lay in ambush on both sides of the south gate. When Zhao Yun's army arrives, they must be let through. After the cavalry enters the city, immediately close the south gate and encircle and suppress Zhao Yun!"

"Here!"

After the two bowed to receive the order, Cao Cao continued: "Le Jin, Xu Huang, and Li Dian, you three lead an army of [-] and lie in ambush at the east gate. When the army enters the city, gather and annihilate them!"

"Here!"

The three of them held their fists together to receive the order. Finally, Cao Cao looked at Xia Houyuan, "Miaocai, you lead the cavalry in the city to stand by at the north gate. When the ugly hour arrives, rush out of the city gate and attack Lulin. Gan Ning said that Zang Ba and Sun Guan brought a Thousands of soldiers are ambushing there, be sure to kill them all!"

"The last general is ordered!"

So far, all the battle plans have been arranged properly.

Cao Cao finally looked at Xun You. The latter shook his head and said that he had nothing to add, so he stood up, "Everyone, after tomorrow night, Xuzhou can be settled, and I have the right to return to the camp to arrange deployment, and wait for you to make contributions!"

"Here!" The generals clasped their fists and flung their cloaks before rushing away.

After everyone left, Cao Cao went to the sand table again, looked at the marks left by Gan Ning's deduction, and the scene of howling in the city at midnight and Lu Jun turning his back on his horse appeared in his mind.

He half-closed his eyes, twitched his right hand unconsciously, and murmured: "It's been more than a year, Lin Yunwen should return after this battle."

Cao Cao didn't think he would lose, but he still liked Lin Mo very much.

What this secret path leaves behind is not unsophisticated, and it has the taste of a prophet.

The most important thing is that he is young. I heard that Lin Yunwen has not yet reached the age of weak crown, but he is actually several years younger than Zixiu.

As Cao Cao, who is over 43 years old, he can call himself old in this era when the average life expectancy is 30 years old. He knows too well that after he leaves, Cao Ang needs a man who looks up to the world like Lin Mo to assist him. up.

Xuzhou, Dangding; Linmo, Danggui.

At one o'clock, the smoke from the cooking in Xiaoguan City was rising.

By the time of the second watch, the soldiers started eating in groups of three or four.

Before the Han Dynasty, the ancients used to have two meals a day. There was no such thing as breakfast, and soldiers in the army were divided according to their military ranks, so it was normal to not get enough to eat.

In view of this, before the army goes to war, the soldiers are often given a full meal. The so-called full meal means that the military rank is no longer defined, and they can eat as much as they want.

After all, no one knows whether the next meal will be alive or not.

After eating and drinking enough, they quickly followed the previously set battle plan, and the hard-wearing soldiers were highly nervous and waited quietly.

In fact, there are very few elite soldiers who can be indifferent to life and death like the trapped camp. Most people, when facing life and death, are nervous and afraid.

As time slowly passed, the midnight hour was approaching. At this time, every breath seemed extremely long to them.

In that abandoned warehouse, the partition blocking the bed was pushed away by a force, and a figure jumped out from inside.

followed by the second, the third
Because the entrance of the cave was narrow, they all took off their battle armor and swords, and kept advancing their equipment while climbing. Only after they jumped out of the cave could they put on their armor.

After putting on the battle armor and standing still in the courtyard with ring swords in hand, there were a total of 500 people. The leader of the military marquis said in a low voice: "According to Lord Hou's order, we will rush to the south gate in a while, and we can retreat immediately after opening the city gate. It must not be postponed!"

"Here!" After the soldiers responded in a low voice, they rushed out of the abandoned treasury under the leadership of the military lord.

The treasury is a mile away from the south gate, which sounds not far, but the criss-crossing of private houses, plus Cao Jun's inspections from time to time, is not too difficult.

Fortunately, Cao Jun, who was on patrol in the city, had received a clear order a long time ago, and his voice was so loud that his voice could be heard on the street and at the end of the street.

After turning eastward and westward, they finally came to the south gate. The Marquis inspected the situation for a while, and there were only twenty sleepy guards at the gate, who were ready to act.

Under the organization of the Marquis Jun, 500 people approached slowly against the city wall, and suddenly raised their voices, "Do it!"

With an order, the military marquis first swung his knife and slashed at a Cao Jun. Blood gushed out, followed by hundreds of people. More than 20 Cao Jun were wiped out in the blink of an eye, and many of them had no chance to do anything at all.

"No, enemy attack!" Cao Jun, who was closing the city gate, shouted symbolically, and the city gate had already opened with a bang.

"Kill!" Zhao Zilong, who was in a white robe with a silver spear, took the lead, followed by thousands of cavalry.

"Let the arrows! Let the arrows go!" The arrows from the city gate poured down, and because they were in the dark, they could only shoot directly. In the second round, the cavalry had already occupied the city gate.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were hiding in the private houses, had a look of sternness in their eyes, and they both clenched their weapons tightly, waiting for them to close the city gate immediately after entering the city completely, and catch the turtle in the urn.

According to the normal situation, Lu Jun should gallop all the way to ensure the charge of the cavalry, and when there is an enemy approaching, just kill it.

But the reality is true. After Lu Jun entered the city, a group of people was assigned to control the gate of the city. Zhao Yun led a group of cavalry to continue advancing, but the speed was not fast.

While galloping his horse, Zhao Yun looked around, and after galloping for half a mile on the street, he suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "Stop! Xiaoguan has [-] troops stationed there, but the city is so empty, there must be a fraud, get out quickly. withdraw!"

Those cavalrymen turned their horses around as if they were ready, and galloped away.

This. Dian Wei and Xu Chu were not in the same private house. They ambush on the left and right respectively. Seeing that Zhao Yun's actions were completely different from what Cao Cao estimated, they were a little confused. This is completely out of routine.

Seeing that they were about to retreat, Dian Wei and Xu Chu couldn't bear it any longer. No matter how thin the legs of a mosquito are, it's still meat. It's better than not. They immediately shouted: "Brothers, follow me to rush out, kill the generals, and make meritorious deeds!"

"Kill!"

A vast number of Cao Jun rushed out from the houses on the left and right like a tide, but the cavalry speed had already increased, and they had no choice but to do anything. Occasionally, a warrior with a spear tripped a horse, and Cao Jun surrounded him immediately and hacked him to death.

Seeing this, Dian Wei threw down his two halberds and charged quickly, taking off the small halberds around his waist with his left and right hands and throwing them continuously, which was no exception, but in the end he only brought down three cavalrymen, and he could only watch Lu Jun disappear before his eyes .

After counting, plus the cavalry shot down by the crossbowmen at the city gate, only 20 cavalry were killed in this battle, and more than [-] guards at the gate of the city died. This deal is not worth it. .

"Take my war horse, chase me out, and kill Lu Jun!"

Xu Chu yelled unwillingly, Dian Wei at the side stopped him and shouted: "Don't make decisions on your own, you need to report back to Sikong!"

No one would be willing to wait for such a result after waiting all night, but Dian Wei has always been a person who only obeys Cao Cao's military orders, and he dragged Xu Chu to walk quickly in the scattered lanes of houses.

When they came to a civilian house heavily guarded by soldiers, the sergeant was not willing to stop him when he saw that it was a pair of tiger and ben heroes.

"Why are you here?" Seeing the two people appearing, Cao Cao looked bewildered, shouldn't he be ambush?

After the two told the truth about what happened just now, Cao Cao was stunned, staring at Dian Wei and Xu Chu in a daze, like a statue.

What's going on here, on the way you came to sneak attack, you can actually carefully check the surrounding area to see if there is anyone coming to rescue?

How could this battle be fought like this!

A moment ago, he was still looking forward to the [-] army of Xiahou Dun joining forces under Pengcheng after defeating Lu Jun. The siege would break down soon, and in the end he didn't care about giving Zu Linmo face, and greeted him with decent etiquette.

This dream is not finished yet, you two came to tell me that the other party was thunderous and rainy, and Zhao Yun came in for a half-day tour of Xiaoguan and just left?

"Sikong, I led the cavalry to fight out from the east gate. Didn't Gan Ning say that Zhang Xiu was in charge of responding? He must have brought a large number of infantry outside the city. The cavalry chased them down, and they couldn't escape!"

Xu Chu's words finally brought Cao Cao back to reality, his pupils suddenly narrowed, and he said sharply: "Quickly go to the east gate to send an order that they must never leave Xiaoguan, close the city gate, quickly close the city gate !

Also, inform Xia Houyuan to withdraw the cavalry in the city and return them all to the camp! "

"Here!" Xu Chu was stunned, and immediately ran out after realizing the reaction.

"This kid may be planning to lure us out of the city, and he wants to gather and annihilate our army outside the city. His intentions are really far-reaching." Cao Cao squinted his eyes and muttered to himself in a low voice.

It was the only reasonable explanation he could think of.

The so-called secret attack, the so-called sneak attack by Zhao Yun is nothing more than a mist to deceive people. In the end, he hoped that our army would lose their minds and rush out of the city gate to pursue them, and then he set up an ambush outside the city.

Yes, it must be so, it must be so!
"His grandma's leg, Sikong, I'm going to take Gan Ning, this kid must have surrendered, see if I don't beat him to ashes!" Dian Wei also came to his senses after being touched by Cao Cao. He wanted to question Gan Ning, but was blocked by Xun You who was on the side.

"Why did Mr. Xun stop you?"

"The authenticity of this matter has yet to be verified."

Xun You shook his head intently and said in a deep voice: "Don't forget that Gan Xingba arrived at Xiaoguan yesterday, and it is not impossible for Lin Mo to find him missing and temporarily change the battle plan.

From the point of view of authenticity, I think Gan Ning should not have lied. "

Cao Cao, who originally planned to torture Gan Ning, heard these words, paced back and forth in the room, all kinds of suspicions surfaced in his heart, no matter what, Gan Ning was no longer a person he could completely trust in his heart.

But he can't be punished easily, otherwise, if the news gets out, who will dare to go to him in the future.

Looking at it calmly, this matter was either Lin Mo's plan to lure his own troops out of the city so that he could encircle and gather them; or, as Xun You said, it was Lin Mo who discovered Gan Ning's disappearance and temporarily changed the battle plan .

But no matter what, the plan to gather and annihilate Lu Bu tonight is completely wrong.

Although he didn't lose anything that night, Cao Cao just felt unwilling, as if a dream that he could see and touch was about to come true when someone suddenly woke him up.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he could only look at Xun You, "Gongda, there must be Lu Jun ambushing outside the city at this time, do you have a plan to break it?"

When it comes to raising energy, Cao Cao is obviously not good enough, Xun You just shook his head slowly, "Don't be angry, Sikong, our army has only lost some food and grass after tonight's torment, if the plan fails, it is also Lin Mo's failure.

All of this, after all, will not hinder the overall situation. Let's just wait for Xiahou Dun to lead his troops and follow the previously planned route. "

Even Xun You said so, Cao Cao could only swallow this breath even if he was unwilling.

He walked towards the outside of the house, seeing the crowds of people around, feeling regretful and sighing in his heart, this kid is indeed an astonishing genius, after he found out that Gan Ning was missing, he could immediately come up with a plan to make up for it.

If you are not careful, you may fall into his tricks.

The more dazzling he is, the more excited Cao Cao is. In his eyes, Lin Mo will be in his pocket sooner or later.
