The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 166 Cao Cao's Tactics

In the autumn twilight, infantry and cavalry in black armor slowly marched on the avenue from Xuchang to Shouchun City, and the character "Cao" on the big flag was still faintly visible.

Cao Jun faintly and slowly passed through the mountains along the Qinling Mountains-Huaihe River, and slowly entered the Huainan area.

The troops who had just walked out of the hill looked back, and these Cao Jun soldiers could vaguely see the darkness on the hill to the north. These marching troops sometimes dispersed, and sometimes regrouped into two formations of cavalry. They were always ready to prevent attacks from others. But also ready to charge at any time.The blood-red sunset is gradually fading...

Those Cao soldiers who were about to go to Huainan and Shouchun City turned their heads to look in the direction of Xuchang and their hometown. They didn't know if they were going to live or die...

At this moment, a galloping cavalry came galloping, and a cloud of gunpowder smoke rose from the ground they stepped on...

At this time, Cao Cao was still closing his eyes and resting his mind. Suddenly the general Xu Chu on the horse reported outside the carriage: "Prime Minister, the messenger is asking to see you."

"Pass it up."

"Yes. The general will obey."

After a while, the messenger came to report: "Report to the Prime Minister, General Xiahou Dun's [-] troops have been defeated, with tens of thousands of casualties. General Xiahou Dun has only [-] remnants left to come to see the Prime Minister."

"What,……"

As soon as Cao Cao heard the news, he suddenly couldn't sit still, because now he heard that all his [-] troops were killed in battle. He has already opened the door curtain of his car suddenly, and then said angrily, saying that Cao Cao was about to pull out Take out the long sword on your car and kill the person who reported the news.

At this time, Xun Yu in the car snorted slowly, and Cao Cao, who was about to have an attack, immediately returned to his original appearance, and then slowly put down the long sword he had just drawn out in his hand, and then slowly put it down.

Cao Cao shouted loudly: "General Xiahou has won a big victory, General Xiahou has won a big victory, good... good."

Cao Cao stroked his beard slowly and then continued: "The one who announces the good news has merit, and my prime minister can make you a former military academy lieutenant."

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

Then the messenger soldier pulled up his horse and walked away.

Cao Cao slowly returned to the center of his car. The entire army was stagnant in place, not moving. Cao Cao in the car had just entered.

Guo Jia asked with concern: "Prime Minister, what's going on?"

"Not good, not good, Xiahou Dun's [-] army was completely wiped out, and I led [-] remnants of the defeated generals back. Everyone, what should I do?"

At this time, Cao Cao had a total army of 40 horses. The 40 army was composed of his 20 field troops and the 20 local troops for maintaining law and order. It was his 20 field troops that could really be used in combat. However, Xiahou Dun lost [-] troops unexpectedly. You think Cao Cao can't be sad.

Xun Yu slowly opened his mouth and said, "Prime Minister, the [-] army led by General Xiahou Dun is our elite army. If the enemy can defeat our [-] elite army, what kind of army do you think it is, and who is leading the army?" ah?"

Cao Cao slowly realized what he was doing and said: "I heard that a young general named Zhao Yun led a mere [-] troops to defeat our [-] troops. Tell us how we can defeat the enemy."

Xun Yu went on to say: "A 30 army is still undefeated by a [-] army. I think we all go home and study behind closed doors."

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Wen Ruo, I think the prime minister is not only considering how we defeated Zhao Yun's army, but also how we defeated the entire Chu army."

Cao Cao smiled slightly and said, "It's better to be filial to know me."

"Prime Minister, I think we adopt the method of encircling but not attacking, attacking but not breaking, so that they can all concentrate on attacking Shouchun City in the end, and we can annihilate them in one fell swoop."

"Prime Minister, I absolutely agree with Feng Xiao's approach. In addition, we can't immediately show that we want to annihilate him in one fell swoop. It is best for us to fight him for a few rounds, evenly divided, and then make the enemy feel They can survive, they can survive as long as they have reinforcements."

"Xu Chu."

"The end is here."

"Give me an order to send someone to Shouchun City to send me a letter of challenge, and ask them to fight us in the morning the day after tomorrow."

"Yes"

"Wait, ask Xiahou Dun to come see me, I want to see our great general."

"Yes, Prime Minister, I will do it one by one."

Then the whole army set out again.

Xu Chu shouted loudly: "The whole army is moving out, aiming at Jiangjun Ridge, ten miles away from Shouchun City."

All the infantry, cavalry, food, and supply soldiers moved forward one after another, and they began to hold the weapons in their hands tightly.

At this time, Xiahou Dun led five thousand defeated soldiers slowly approaching Cao Cao's army under the setting sun. At this time, Xiahou Dun also lost his helmet, his hair was scattered everywhere, and the golden armor on his body began to fall off. The [-] armored soldiers also began to rags and clothes casually.

At night, Xiahou Dun slowly came to the camp where Cao Cao had placed him, walking so slowly, with such helplessness, and with such shame.
