Rogue master in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 91
That night, the lights of Chen Wei's official office stayed on all night.In the room, Chen Wei, Jia Xu and Fan Jian looked at the map on the desk.This map is only centered on Luoyang, with a radius of a hundred miles, and it is very rough.

"Cao's army is now stationed in Xingyang, fifty miles away from Luoyang, and the army's rations are stored behind Xingyang. Guo Si wants us to go behind the enemy's rear and burn Cao's rations. Said unfairly.

Jia Xu also nodded in agreement and said: "The general offered him a defensive strategy before, but he deliberately made the general attack. You can imagine his intentions."

Holding the oil lamp in one hand, Chen Wei looked at the military map on the case table, raised his head after pondering for a moment and said, "In any case, we cannot give Guo Si an excuse to frame us for disobeying military orders. Although Guo Si has ulterior motives, if we can burn Losing Cao Jun's rations and equipment can indeed deal a major blow to Cao Jun."

Fan Jian said: "With Cao Cao's talent and Zhuge Liang's assistance, naturally he will not ignore the importance of the army's rations and supplies, and he will definitely guard it with heavy troops."

"It's all human effort!" Chen Wei sighed softly.

Jia Xu's eyes showed admiration: "A good thing is human-made, the general's mouth is so brilliant, and he often has wonderful words, which makes me ashamed who claims to have read thousands of volumes."

Chen Wei was ashamed, clasped his hands and asked: "Cao's army is powerful, but Guo Si only gave me three thousand horses and horses, what's your plan?"

Jia Xu said: "Brother Fan's earlier statement is very reasonable. Cao Cao has [-] troops stationed in Xingyang, and the □□ is the place where food is stored, so it is safe and secure? And □□ After Xingyang, the general cannot go easily. It is easy to enter and difficult to enter. We don't want to wipe out the enemy, we just want to burn Cao's army's rations and supplies. When a lone army goes deep, it must be taken by surprise. Soldiers are expensive and fast, and there are too many people, but it will get in the way. So it's not all bad for Guo Si to only give us three thousand soldiers..." "

"That's what you mean, sir?"

Jia Xu's eyes fell on the map, he stroked his beard in thought, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said with joy: "General, I have a plan, which may be difficult for ordinary people to complete, but it is not difficult for the general."

Chen Wei was startled, and asked, "What's the plan?"

Jia Xu pointed to the map and said, "Zhu Jun and Cao Cao were attacking Luoyang together, but Zhu Jun led his troops around Luoyang to attack us, so Hulao Pass must be guarded by Cao Jun. Our 300 soldiers can allow Sun Hou to lead [-] soldiers." [-] people lay in ambush on Hushan Mountain, with horsetails tied to tree branches, raising sand and dust, running back and forth, creating the illusion that a large army is coming, Cao Cao thought that when the reinforcements from Chang'an came, Guo Si would send a large number of troops, and he would definitely lead the army to support."

"And the general led five hundred armored soldiers to carry the fire down from Songshan Mountain on the south side of Xingyang, bypassing Xingyang directly to Cao Cao's garrison..."

Fan Jian couldn't help asking: "What about the remaining 200 people?"

Jia Xu raised his hand to signal Fan Jian not to worry, and then continued: "Cao Cao saw that we were just bluffing, and the food and grass in the rear were attacked, so he would definitely send an army to rescue, but by then it was too late, the general can take this opportunity to burn their food and grass. ..."

Chen is very happy.

"But Cao Cao is very resourceful, he will definitely guess the origin of Chen Wei's sneak attack. If he sends someone to block him, will Chen Wei be unable to withdraw?" Fan Jian thought very thoughtfully.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "So we must prepare two large ships that can hold 300 people."

Fan Jian asked in amazement, "Why do we need a boat?"

Chen Wei smiled knowingly, and said, "Fan Jian, didn't you ask the remaining 200 people before, and Mr. Jia just kept a hand!"

Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled in admiration: "General Chen is really smart, he immediately thought of my intention."

Jia Xu pointed to the north of Xingyang and said: "We prepared two large ships in advance, each with a hundred sailors, and went down the Yellow River to enter Sishui. Just return the boat!"

"A clever plan, sir, you are truly a genius!" Fan Jian was amazed, but he thought of another point, and asked: "But the Yellow River is so fast that it is easy for us to go down the river, but when we return, it is against the current, and each boat takes 300 people. , I am afraid that the load will be too heavy, and the return journey will be slow. Once Cao Cao's iron cavalry chases after him and sends archers along the river to shoot, then I am afraid..."

Jia Xu shook his head with a smile, and said, "Brother Fan doesn't know something. Sishui is a branch of the Yellow River. The current is not turbulent. Hundreds of sailors can travel hundreds of miles a day. When Cao Cao finds out that the general is returning by water, he has already chased him." Too late!"

Seeing that Jia Xu has done his best, Chen Wei admired him in his heart, and felt lucky to have such a talent as Jia Xu.

At this moment, Fan Jian sighed, "Brother Jia, you made me admire Chen Wei even more today!"

Chen Wei was stunned, Jia Xu came up with this plan, why did Fan Jian admire him?
Jia Xu also looked at Fan Jian with a little doubt.

Fan Jian pointed to Chen Wei and said, "I admire Chen Wei's astute eyes, who can discover Mr.'s talent!"

Chen Wei and Jia Xu Fang woke up, looked at each other, and invariably remembered the conversation about "Bole Maxima" on the Tongguan city wall that night, and the two laughed heartily.

……

The next morning, Guo Si sent [-] cavalry to Chen Wei. Chen Wei took the opportunity to ask for two large ships.

Chen Wei secretly laughed in his heart, Guo Si must have thought that he would be so happy to die.

After dark that night, Chen Wei led [-] cavalry out of the city, and the other [-] soldiers who followed him deep into the city went south by boat, and the waterway was comfortable, and they also got a good rest.

When it was still [-] miles away from Hulao Pass and it was dawn, Chen Wei led five hundred soldiers who were energetic after rest and parted ways with Sun Hou.Sun Hou led [-] soldiers to ambush in Hushan as Jia Xu said, while Chen Wei's [-] cavalry rushed for thousands of miles. After running for half a day from early morning to noon, they finally arrived in Xingyang.Chen Wei asked his soldiers to rest in the dense forest outside Xingyang City to avoid the vicious noon sun. The soldiers Chen Wei sent to Xingyang to inquire about the news really reported the news that Cao Cao led the army to support Hulao Pass.

After Cao Cao's reinforcements set off, the [-] cavalry led by Chen Wei also finished their rest, bypassed Xingyang unknowingly, and arrived at Xingyang at the second watch.

The night was full of stars, and Chen Wei asked the soldiers to wrap thick cloth on the horse's feet and tie a cloth strip to the horse's mouth to prevent the horse's neighing and hooves from attracting the attention of Cao Bing in the grain store.

At midnight, the night was dark and quiet, and Chen Wei, who was lying in ambush in the haystack outside the enemy camp, could almost faintly hear the snoring from the enemy camp.

At this moment, Cao Ying's side is quiet and silent, the lights are dim, and there are occasional guards patrolling past.

Chen Wei crawled on the grass slope, and then slowly approached Cao Ying under the cover of weeds. He observed carefully and found that there were two-meter-high guardrails erected around the enemy camp, and the guards were very strict.

Chen Wei couldn't help sighing that Cao Cao was indeed a cautious person, even if the food and grass were left behind by him, he did not forget to take protective measures.

Relying on his personal skills, Chen Wei circled the enemy camp and found that it was very difficult to break into the camp and burn the food and grass. Except for the entrance of the enemy camp where the cavalry could enter smoothly, it was almost impossible to enter other places.

Chen Wei looked up at the stars, there was not much time, because according to the appointment, they had to rush to Sishui before the fourth watch, and then return by boat.Otherwise, once Cao Cao led his army back to support, it would be difficult for his 500 men to escape.
