Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1615 The matter of a bait

  Cao Cao stared at the distance intently, as if there was his little lover in the distance, separated for a long time, looking through the autumn water. However, it seems that the relationship between him and Yuan Shao is also somewhat like a not-so-serious lover relationship. When the distance is close, there is always some friction and estrangement; , so the more disappointed, and there is no way to talk about marriage, and the family is not right, it is always going to break up.

Li Dian sent a food transport team to wander the official road, like a piece of bait thrown out, attracting Yuan Jun's troops who didn't know where they were hiding. As soon as Yuan Jun attacked, the place where the beacon fire started was the encirclement, with Cao Cao in front He personally led the infantry to intercept, and Xia Houyuan led the cavalry to outflank him. If Yuan Jun was not careful, he would be cut off from his way back and trapped in a heavy siege...

   Cao Cao might not have come to this battle, but he was worried.

   In other words, Cao Cao couldn't rest assured at all.

  From the Battle of Suanzao, in almost every battle, Cao Cao must appear on the front line, not because of how powerful Cao Cao is, nor because Cao Cao naturally likes to be on the front line, risking swords, guns and arrows...

   The wind seems to be not as strong as the previous few days, but it is still not small, blowing the only warmth on the body.

  Cao Cao must find out the reorganized cavalry of Yuan Jun, and then destroy it, or at least defeat it, otherwise, on the frontal battlefield, he will always have to worry about the edge stabbing from the flanks. How can he fight?

Speaking of which, the battle where Tai Shici under the hussars rushed to Yecheng was indeed too amazing. Even when Cao Cao thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a slight chill on his back, and found that if he was driven by the cavalry's flanks and disturbed In the rear, there was really no suitable countermeasure for a while.

Cao Cao can be regarded as a great military strategist in the Three Kingdoms period, but it does not mean that Cao Cao can exceed the limitations of the times. After all, the long-distance tactics of the nomads are difficult to restrain even in the Ming Dynasty. They can only rely on the terrain to build passes. Blocking, once it is broken through, it is often too late to catch up...

   "Cavalry, cavalry..." Cao Cao muttered a few words for the unobservable, "Unfortunately, there are no horses..."

  If there were enough horses, Cao Cao would have to form a strong cavalry even if he was selling iron, especially in relatively broad and flat counties like Jizhou and Yuzhou, which were simply natural battlefields for cavalry. Therefore, this battle is not only about defeating Yuan Jun's partial army, but if some more horses can be captured, even lame and injured horses are fine, as long as they can reproduce!

   "My lord..." Cao Hong seemed to hear something from the side, but he couldn't hear it clearly, so he asked, "Do you have an order?"

  Cao Cao shook his head slowly.

  Cao Hong paused for a moment, then said: "My lord, I don't know if Yuan Jun will come..."

   "It must come! A few days ago, some Yuan Jun scouts came and went here...just..." Cao Cao nodded and said, then turned his gaze to the north, and then looked to the northeast, "I don't know where they are hiding..."

  Humans need water, and horses need aquatic plants. Therefore, the places to hide are mountains and rivers with water sources, or large swamps.

In the Han Dynasty, the climate in China as a whole was very warm, which can basically be regarded as the climate of Southeast Asia in later generations. From the perspective of mural paintings in later generations, there are still sculptures, and few of them are very bulky and thick. Although it may be artistic processing, it can also be To illustrate, the Han Dynasty was not as cold as the later dynasties.

Although the current temperature is indeed much colder than in previous years, the environment above the surface cannot be completely changed in two or three years, especially because the river has been diverted several times, and the large swamp formed is scattered. Distributed in Jizhou, Yuzhou and Yanzhou.

  Like jujube and Wuchao, it was chosen as the garrison because of the existence of Daze. As for the two Daze near here, where reeds are overgrown and aquatic plants are abundant, one is in the north and the other is in the northeast. There are possibilities in these two places, but it is a pity that Cao Cao can't send scouts to scout close. He is afraid that he will not find a chance to block the group of Yuan Jun's cavalry after he scares the snake, so he can only wait here.

   "My lord! Look!" Cao Hong suddenly pointed, "Here we come!"

  On the flat horizon of the sky, some low and large dust rose up, rolled up in the wind, and spread into a line. This is not Yuan Jun coming, but Li Dian's food transport team. Li Dian's grain transportation team walked very ostentatiously, but also very slowly. In the distance, it looked like a row of black spots smaller than ants, dragging a truck the size of half a corn.

   Not long after Cao Cao and others saw the food transport team, the ground seemed to tremble slightly. Cao Cao looked down and saw that the sand and gravel on the stone surface on the hillside were shaking slightly, and he couldn't help but cheer up, "It's finally here!"

   "The whole army is ready!" Cao Cao waved his arms, gave the order, and then stared at the north and northeast, "Come, let me see where you are hiding."

Perhaps in the blink of an eye, or as if centuries have passed, the sound of horseshoes gradually resounded through the earth, even the sound of the wind was covered, and the range of vibrations in the real earth became larger and larger, as if they were following the sound of horseshoes Stirring up and down. But what puzzled Cao Cao was that there was no smoke and dust in the north and northeast, and the sound of horseshoes did come over...

  Cao Cao tried his best to open his eyes wide and looked around. When he turned to the southeast, he suddenly felt a "buzz" in his head, and he felt like the world was spinning, and the blood on his face faded away!

  How could it be in this direction? !

  Huge smoke soared into the clouds, even the wind couldn't blow it away, and a strong murderous aura spread in it, like an unsheathed war knife pointing directly between the eyebrows and eyes!

  The southeast direction is the direction of Heluo!

  So there will be cavalry here?

   "My lord!" Cao Hong said in a panic, "Not good! Did the hussars move out?!"

Cao Cao's face was pale, it seemed that all the blood poured into the brain for a while, providing the energy and oxygen needed for the brain's high-speed operation, cold sweat also broke out from under the temples, flowing down the temples, and he couldn't immediately Answer Cao Hong's question.

  A kind of biting cold rose from his feet to the top of his head. Cao Cao could feel his scalp throbbing from the cold air, and his whole body was like falling into a cellar of ice. Even his body couldn't help but tremble...

   Could it be that the hussar general turned his back on what he said, first belittled us with words, and then took the opportunity to mobilize troops and horses, wanting to stop us from retreating?

   I didn't expect that I was going to intercept and defeat Yuan Jun's partial branch, but it was the Hussars who came!

  What should I do? !

Cao Cao's soldiers are all arranged under the south slope. If you look at it from the north or northeast, you can't see anything, but the enemy coming from the south, these soldiers are clearly exposed in their eyes. Losing the so-called ambush function, more importantly, I may be attacked by Yuan Shao and Fei Qian cavalry!

   This will be a huge mistake that cannot be recovered, and this will be a huge crisis facing Cao Cao!

  Could it be that my dream, Cao Cao Cao Mengde, can only stop here?

  If Cao Cao had read that classic skit from later generations, he would have roared angrily, thinking that it was something, but I didn’t expect you, a big man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to ride...

Cao Cao's heart was sad. He originally thought that Fei Qian, a hussar of the Han Dynasty, was more or less from the same school, and he had some friendship. Even after Fei Qian became General Zhengxi, Cao Cao drank wine and invited him to congratulate him. He sang and got drunk. In addition, there are still trading and trading in these years, and the friendship is not bad...

   Could it be that the things he did before were discovered by Fei Qian?

  Cao Cao suddenly realized.

I remember that when I was practicing the art of war, I used to worship famous teachers and visit sages. I boasted that I had gained a lot, but I didn’t stick to one thing. opportunity. I didn't expect that I was just like Zhao Kuo. I had no skills on paper, but I lost my calculation!

   One less hussar!

  Cao Cao couldn't help but burst out laughing, which surprised Cao Hong who was beside him.

Cao Cao looked up at the sky. Because he was dissatisfied with the title of an eunuch, he wanted to break out a new path. He did not hesitate to break the relationship with the original eunuch, and even bet on the fate of the whole family. Brother, he even lost his father and children. I would like to think that today, not to mention success and fame, but it can be regarded as fulfilling some wishes...

  However, at this time, after stripping off Sikong's layer of robes, he still seems to be that homeless wild dog who escaped from Luoyang in panic, wanders alone, and may die at any time!

  For a while, although Cao Cao was laughing, his palms were wet and sticky, and his feet were nailed to the ground, making him unable to move forward. Cao Hong on the side was puzzled, and didn't know what happened to Cao Cao, and the soldiers under the **** had long been in a mess, and there was a lot of people's voices, but Cao Cao was still laughing up to the sky, as if he was deaf to the sound of the cavalry rushing towards him generally…

   "It's Yuan Jun! It's Yuan Jun's cavalry!" Suddenly, a sharp-eyed Cao soldier shouted, and the sharp voice was like a needle, piercing Cao Cao's body, and immediately woke him up.

   "What?!" Cao Cao snapped back his smile, widened his soybean-sized eyeballs, and carefully identified them. The benefit of small eyes focusing on the light finally manifested, looming in the yellow dust, there was not a fingertip-sized banner on it, it was indeed written with the word "Yuan", and it was not the three colors used by Hussar General Fei Qian The battle flag, but the dark blue flag used by Yuan Shao!

"Aha! What a Zhang Junyi!" I don't know why, it seems that the strength of the whole body has returned, Cao Cao immediately figured out what was going on, and immediately shouted, "Good job! Send the order quickly! Man Cheng immediately left the city and blocked the road going north! Miaocai moved his army to the southwest and outflanked the rear! Zilian!"

   "Yes!" Cao Hong replied loudly.

   "Order the soldiers to turn to the southeast! Unveil a certain banner!" Cao Cao waved his arms, and said decisively, "For this reason, I will face Yuan Jun!"

   "Zhang Junyi!" Cao Cao laughed, "Sure enough! But that's all! Today I will defeat you!"

Cao Cao reacted, yes, Zhang Yun, the commander of Yuan Jun's partial army, did not hide in the Daze to the north and northeast, because Cao Cao could guess it there, and Zhang Yun also expected it, so Zhang He went uncharacteristically and hid his men and horses near the river. Luo's direction.

Because of the previous incidents, there were many deserted villages in Heluo Luoyang generation, so I found a deserted village temporarily and dug a well or something. In fact, I didn’t have to worry about running out of water, and Cao Jun usually didn’t send any scouts to focus on this direction. , so it is more hidden than Daze or something.

Seeing that Cao Cao was so calm and decisive, the soldiers including Cao Hong gradually settled down and began to work one after another. .

   Cao Cao watched, and suddenly realized a problem...

  Recalling the moment just now, I was at a loss, so panicked that I couldn’t even think, Cao Cao’s old face couldn’t help but feel a little hot...

  When did I become so afraid of General Hussars?

  What is there to be afraid of the men and horses of the big Han hussars?

  Yes, what is there to be afraid of?

  Cao Cao cursed secretly in his heart, although he was very upset, but his mother was scared at that time!

  Maybe it was because Tai Shici's previous battle was too famous? Or is it because General Hussars has made great military exploits since he merged with the North? Or is it because I haven't confronted Hussar General Fei Qian head-on, so I don't have much confidence in my heart?

But no matter what the reason is, Cao Cao realized at this moment that in fact, deep down in his heart, he was so unwilling to fight the Hussar General, so afraid that one day the Hussar General's cavalry army would roar from the letter Gu Guanzhong rushed out and swept Yanzhou and Yuzhou like a flood...

  Because at this moment, I can't resist at all!

The large army was confronting Yuan Shao, and with only these soldiers and horses in hand, it was already barely enough to deal with Yuan Jun's partial army. If he added the hussars, no matter in terms of the quality or quantity of soldiers, Cao Cao could not Coping, and such worries have always existed in the depths of Cao Cao's heart, so when cavalry appeared in the direction of Heluo in the southeast, Cao Cao himself would feel as if he had fallen into a nightmare, scared and powerless.

  Big fellow hussars!

  Cao Cao looked up at the sky, took a long breath, and then turned his eyes back to Yuan Jun Pianjun who was getting closer...

   If it is said that the cavalry of the big Han hussars came, I am really a little scared, but it is just Zhang He, Zhang Junyi, you so-called Jizhou elite cavalry, I don’t pay attention to it!

   "Command! Drumming! Shengzhu!"

   Cao Cao shouted in a deep voice.

  Although it is different from the original plan, the result must be the same!

  Before, they used the grain truck as bait, but now they use themselves as bait, and they also caught the fish Zhang He and Zhang Junyi!
