Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 604

Sima Yi pointed to Lu Meng's head and asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do with Lu Meng's head?"

"Since it's Bi Yan'er, I'll send it back to Jiangdong in a good wooden box." Cao Cao had a terrible headache, and after a few perfunctory words, he refused to speak again.

Seeing that Cao Cao was indeed unwell, everyone was driven away from the main tent by Xu Chu.

When leaving, Cao Ren called Sima Yi outside the tent, "Zhongda wait a minute."

"Is there something important for General Zixiao?" Sima Yi asked curiously.

Cao Ren: "When does Zhongda plan to send his head back to Xudu?"

"Since it was entrusted by the king, I dare not delay. I want to send someone out tomorrow morning. General Zixiao also has letters and other things to bring back?" Sima Yi guessed Cao Ren's intention.

Cao Ren nodded and replied: "It's not a letter. Our department injured Niu Jin's head by falling from a horse. Now he is as stupid as a three-year-old child. I plan to send him back to Xudu for medical treatment, but now I want to beg Guan Yu with the king of Wei." , so I ask Zhongda to send Xu Duan back for me, and I will be grateful for returning to Xu after the war."

Sima Yi was born in a rich official family, and now he is a figure highly praised by the Henan gentry, so he has a lot of energy in Xudu. Cao Ren also had this consideration in approaching him.

"General Zixiao, please rest assured. I will arrange for General Niu properly. How dare I thank you for sharing his worries." Sima Yi bowed his hands in humility. He recognized his position in front of an important clan official like Cao Ren.

"If that's the case, let's talk about it after the war." Cao Ren didn't hesitate.

After resting overnight, Cao Jun broke out of camp and headed south again.

In Chaoyang, Zhang Liao, Cao Ren and other ministries were joined together. At this time, Cao Cao had nearly [-] troops.

After 12 years, he went to Jingzhou again. It may be that he was troubled by a head wind disease, or it may be that the hero is late. Cao Cao no longer has the pride of being a mighty whip in the past.

The mood of the coach will affect the mood of the whole team. During the march, everyone kept silent and looked very dull. Cao Cao's headache symptoms improved slightly after a night of sleep.

Cao Cao saw that the atmosphere was not good, so he took the initiative to bring up the topic, referring to Zhang Liao, saying: "I have been alone in the world for decades, and I have never been so cautious when the army is superior. It can be regarded as giving Yun Chang enough face. His sentry Is it really that powerful? It may not be possible to go this way, right?"

"The last general has made a special inspection. General Guan's scouts are mostly within [-] miles. You will know in two hours. His quickness and individual ability are really comparable to tiger and leopard cavalry." Zhang Liao replied with clasped fists.

Cao Cao thought while stroking his mottled beard. He couldn't accept the existence of being stronger than tiger and leopard cavalry.

Just now after Zhang Liao praised the opponent's scouts, Xu Huang and Zhao Yan whispered what happened to Fancheng. Because Cao Ren did not go out to fight in the city, he reported in a general way when he returned to the team. Cao Cao only knew that the abandonment of Fancheng was due to the shortage of winter clothes and rumors were flying.

Cao Cao frowned: "Boran, Gongming, what are you talking about?"

"Uh, General Zhang thinks what General Zhang said is not bad. Although Fancheng was not directly besieged before, there were too many scouts in the dark outside, which prevented our news from being sent out, and the news from outside couldn't get in. The morale of the army fluctuates, and the panic intensifies." Xu Huang answered with cupped fists.

Cao Cao twitched his beard with empty eyes, and said to himself: "So Yun Chang has also raised a fine cavalry, and I want to compete with him with tiger and leopard cavalry."

"Guan Yu's scouts can only cover thirty miles, which means that the total number of this fine cavalry is relatively small. I estimate that there are only a few hundred people. They can only be used as sentries and guards. Don't worry about it, Your Majesty." Sima Yi comforted.

"Zhongda is right, because Guan Yu has many steps and less cavalry, and the number of people is far smaller than ours. Wen Yuan suggested to use the advantage of cavalry to divide the battlefield, and then encircle and defeat them one by one with a large army. Which one do you think is better to use to defeat the enemy?" Cao Cao smiled, thinking that he was sure of victory.

Sima Yi frowned and replied: "The area between Chaoyang and Deng County is a great plain, which is very suitable for cavalry to split the battlefield, because the combat area of ​​an army of tens of thousands is large enough, and it is easy for cavalry to find weaknesses in mobile operations. The key depends on the ability of the generals at all levels to control the field. "

Cao Cao looked around and said with a smile: "Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Gao Shun on the opposite side are all famous generals in the world. Our side will also gather stars. Even if the battle losses are greater, there will be no problem in winning in the end."

"Cough cough. Don't forget about Gao Shun, and the faction that fell into the camp." The skinny Cheng Yu coughed and reminded, maybe because he was too old, he was on the verge of falling from the bumps on the horse.

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, and Zhang Liao looked at his words and made him unhappy. Zhang Liao quickly said, "Your Majesty, Gao Boping's ability to govern the army is very good. His camp has now expanded to nearly ten thousand people. His combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated, but the heavy infantry Combat is very exhausting, and when the time comes, you can use cavalry to contain the enemy, just like fishing to exhaust the enemy."

"Wen Yuan's idea is very good. I'll let you go for a walk when the time comes. You and Gao Shun should compete." Cao Cao nodded in agreement with his brow stretched out, thinking of Yu Jin who was captured by Guan Yu and felt a pity. Also a good hand.

"Uh, Zhang Liao obeyed."

"Your Majesty, we need to beware of Guan Yu's defense according to Deng County," Lu Jian reminded Cao Cao behind him.

Cao Cao snorted coldly and said nothing, Yilang Zhao Yan leaned over and reminded in a low voice: "Facing the absolute disparity in military strength, defending a poor city is tantamount to severing your own way of retreat. It is impossible for Guan Yu to understand this truth. Didn't General Lu defend Deng County as well?"

"Uh, Zhao Yilang's words made me suddenly understand." Lu Jianming knew the truth, but he was actually looking for an excuse for himself. He didn't get a good look in front of Cao Cao.

Zhao Yan and Lu Jian had an old relationship, and saw through each other's thoughts, so he cooperated with him to finish the trick, and at the end he did not forget to add, "Although it is impossible to defend according to Deng County, it is very possible to stick to Fancheng."

Cao Cao was surrounded by sensible people, and when he heard that the two did not respond after performing the oboe, the conversation stopped abruptly here.

The army continued to advance southward, and had just entered the [-]-mile range north of Deng County, the scouts Zhang Liao had mentioned appeared. Cao Cao wanted to compete, so he sent Cao Xiu to chase after him with tiger and leopard cavalry.

Cao Xiu chased for more than ten li, and all the cunning scouts escaped, but the tiger and leopard cavalry were shot and killed five or six people. After Cao Cao understood the situation, his face was livid, and he secretly scolded Cao Xiu.

Since their whereabouts had been monitored, the marching speed for the last thirty miles slowed down significantly, and it was already dusk when they arrived at the camp site.

Guan Yu didn't send troops to harass him on the way, which made Cao Jun's generals have a point of view: We have a lot of soldiers now, and Guan Yu dare not take the risk to attack.

After hearing the order to camp and rest, most of Cao Ying's soldiers immediately relaxed.

But when Cao Jun built the camp, the sound of horseshoes outside the camp was like thunder.

Under the dark sky, countless cavalry screamed and rushed from all directions.

"To rob the camp, Guan Yu is here to rob the camp."

"Where is the enemy?"

"No in the west. There is also in the east"

"Calm me, don't panic."

Although no one cried for their father and mother, the local area was already in chaos.

There are hundreds of companies and battalions of [-] soldiers, and the news of the enemy's attack is like ignited firecrackers, which explode in all directions along the fuse.

The relaxed generals tensed up again, and the soldiers in their respective battalions were ready to fight.

In the dim light of the sky, the two masters came together on horseback, and then whispered to each other outside the camp.

"Ling Ming, who shall we kill more enemies this time?"

"Three generals, let's not compete today, shall we? Sir, let us not focus on killing the enemy, but just give Cao Cao a blow."

"It's all here, don't you think it's appropriate to kill it quickly? I remember Ziyu once said well, 'I don't do business that loses money'."

"Don't forget that we only have these cavalry. If we lose too much, it may affect the outcome of the war."

"Don't forget that I played with Cao thief in Wudu. I can do the losing business?"

"Uh, the ratio of turning back is lower than our battle damage?"

"Compare to compare."

Zhang Fei and Pound discussed the attack route, and each led a team of elite soldiers into the unconstructed camp. The cavalry who shouted and shouted before were just suspicious soldiers used to confuse them.
