Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 292 Cao Cao is Angry
"Report! Xuzhou urgent report!"

Cao Cao, who was on the road, received an urgent report from Xuzhou. After reading it, Cao Cao beat his chest and cried loudly.

"Zhang Xun's dog thief, kill my favorite general Che Zhou, you deserve death, you deserve death!"

Xi Zhicai, who was behind Cao Cao, took the letter from Cao Cao's hand. After reading it, he was also taken aback. He didn't expect Yuan Shujun's attack speed to be so fast.

The letter reads: General Che Zhou died in battle, Xiapi fell, and troops led by Zhang Xun wantonly looted Xiapi City. Fifteen counties of Quli, Tongguo, Xiaqiu, Xuxian, Suiling, Xuyi, Gaoshan, Huailing, Dongcheng, Quyang, Huaipu, and Huaiyin were also lost.

At this time, the vanguard of Yuan Shujun was about to reach Donghai County.

"The whole army speeds up, I want to destroy Yuan Shu's 20 army, and destroy Yuan Shu!"

At this time, Cao Cao was so angry that his confidant, Che Zhou, was killed by a waste, how could he not be angry!

Cao Jun traveled day and night, and finally reached Liu County at the junction of Pengcheng and Xiapi in Xuzhou two days later.

As the vanguard, Xiahou Dun happened to see Yuan Shu's soldiers who were attacking Liu County. Xiahou Dun led the army to rush up and kill for a while. After repelling Yuan Shu's army, Xiahou Dun entered Liu County.

At this time, Zhang Xun also received the news that Cao Cao personally led the army to come to support him, so he hurriedly stopped attacking counties and counties, gathered all the troops, and set up camp outside Xiapi City. Carelessly, order your soldiers and horses to set up a 120-point spirit to guard against Cao Cao.

"General, the bandits Cao have already led the army to set up a camp twenty miles away from us. They have come from a long distance, and they are traveling day and night, so they must be insufficiently prepared. Why don't we go to rob the camp today, and we will definitely be able to catch him by surprise!"

In Yuan Shujun's camp, Han Xian spoke to Zhang Xun.

"Ok?"

After Han Xian finished speaking, Zhang Xun also felt that Han Xian's words were reasonable, so he asked, "Is that true?"

"However, even if Bandit Cao is prepared, so what, he is not as numerous as our army. He has come from a long way, and he will surely win a big victory if he robs the camp tonight!"

After listening to Han Siam, Zhang Xun also felt that what he said made sense. After all, he had 20 troops, while Cao Cao had only 3 troops, and the Chinese army only had [-] people. If the army is robbed, the other camps will be in chaos, and the rest will take advantage of the chaos.Then Cao Cao can be taken down with almost no effort. At that time, let alone Xuzhou, it is not impossible to take Yanzhou!
"Okay, tonight, we're going to rob the camp!"

At the same time, Cao Cao was also discussing the battle with the generals in the tent.

Only Xi Zhicai said: "Our army is exhausted from a long journey, Zhang Xun will definitely come to rob the camp tonight, as long as we kill Zhang Xun today and face him tomorrow, our army's morale will be high, and the enemy's morale will definitely decline. The chances of winning have increased by a few points!"

Putting it down, Cao Cao designed an ambush.

"Miaocai, you don't need to lead an army too much, you only need [-] soldiers and horses, and lie in ambush next to Zhang Xun's barracks. After Zhang Xun's army leaves the camp for half an hour, you go to burn his camp. Set a record, no Lian Zhan, after setting the fire, come back immediately!"

"Yes!"

Xia Houyuan went down to prepare to go.

"Wen Yuan, Yuan Rang, you two will each lead [-] soldiers and horses, and ambush Zhang Xun's left and right sides on the way to retreat. Just let them come when they come, and when he can go back, it will be convenient to rob and kill them halfway!"

"Here!"

Zhang Liao and Xiahou Dun also went down to prepare.

"The rest of the generals are all waiting in the big camp. When you see the shouts of killing in our army, you send troops to besiege Zhang Xun!"

"Here!"

Everyone else went down, and only Xi Zhicai and Cao Cao were left in the big tent.

"Zhicai, are there any mistakes?"

Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai and asked.

"No, it's just. Prime Minister, don't you want to take this opportunity to take down Xiapi City, and then attack back and forth tomorrow, blaming Zhang Xun for defeat!"

Xi Zhicai shook his feather fan lightly and said.

"Oh? Could it be that there are no more defenders of Yuan Jun in Xiapi City?"

Cao Cao asked with some doubts.

"There must be, but not many. Zhang Xun was defeated by the prime minister, so he is afraid of the prime minister, so his soldiers and horses will be used to resist the prime minister, not to defend the city! Therefore, Xiapi City is very easy to get. !"

"So that's the case, that's good, I'll let Li Dian lead the army to seize Xiapi City! Everything will be ordered by Zhicai!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed and quickly called Li Dian.

After seeing Li Dian come in, Xi Zhicai said: "Mancheng, you take five hundred troops and horses to take Xiapi City, remember, bring more military flags and gongs!"

After listening to Xi Zhi finished speaking, Li Dian looked at Cao Cao again, and saw Cao Cao nodded to him, Li Dian knelt down suddenly, and then said: "My lord, military advisor, Li Dian wants to die clearly, why did I come here?" Die! Besides, why did the lord use Zhang Xun to kill me? If the lord wants to kill me, he can just take my life, why bother!"

"Hahahaha! Who said they were going to kill you!"

After hearing what Li Dian had said, Cao Cao burst out laughing.

"My lord, Zhang Xun has an army of 20, why didn't you give me 500 troops to tell me to die!"

Li Dian raised his head and said.

"Hehe, it's okay to go if you are Mancheng, if you can't take it down to Xiapi City, I will let you be the prime minister!"

Cao Cao said again, Li Dian has been fooled now, he doesn't understand what Cao Cao means.

"Mancheng, you can go. The prime minister means that there are not many defenders in Xiapi City, but in order not to reveal the truth, it is really too few to give you five hundred soldiers. How about you lead two thousand and five hundred troops?" Take down Xiapi city tonight, and when we fight tomorrow, you will lead the army out of the city, then plant the flag in Zhang Xun's camp, beat gongs everywhere and shout that this place is occupied by Cao's army, hurry up run!"

After hearing Xi Zhicai finished speaking, Li Dian breathed a sigh of relief. He was startled just now, thinking that Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai wanted him to kill himself.

"The last general takes orders!"

Li Dian also bowed his hand.Then go down and get ready.

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai smiled at each other, and then waited for Zhang Xun to come to rob the camp after dark.
