Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!
Chapter 967 Good Strategy
According to Sun Ce's description, the assassin's martial arts skills were not strong and it was impossible for him to be beheaded by Cao Ang's masters.
"Gongjin, I always feel that there is a bigger secret hidden behind Cao Ang." Sun Ce said worriedly.
"No matter what secrets he has, we must get rid of Cao Ang." Zhou Yu said, "If Cao Ang continues to live, Jiangdong will be in danger in the future."
"Gongjin, what good plan do you have?" Sun Ce asked.
"The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is our most powerful fighting force.
We can use these Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to contain Cao Ang's forces." Zhou Yu said: "Cao Ang has just established his country and has limited forces.
If we launch a fierce attack, I'm afraid Cao Ang will be forced into a desperate situation.
We can use the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to force Cao Ang to withdraw his troops and avoid casualties."
Zhou Yu's suggestion was very good. After hearing it, Sun Ce said excitedly: "What a great idea! I will gather all the generals to discuss how to deal with Cao Ang."
After Sun Ce left, Zhou Yu curled up a smile and said, "Cao Ang, don't blame me for being unjust since you are unkind."
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was the most powerful cavalry unit under Sun Ce.
The most powerful cavalry unit under Sun Ce was called the Flying Bear Guard, which was trained by Lu Bu himself, and each cavalryman possessed powerful martial arts.
The Feixiong Guard has a strength of about three thousand people.
Lu Bu was a famous general. The Flying Bear Guards under his command were extremely brutal. Each soldier could fight two enemies at the same time and were the bravest among the three armies.
Although the Feixiong Guards were powerful, they were unfortunately not equipped with horses and could only attack on foot.
In order to prevent traitors from leaking information, Feixiong Guards were not allowed to carry weapons and were only allowed to wear swords at their waists.
This strict and disciplined training method has resulted in the Feixiong Guard's extremely powerful combat capability, which can be described as a sharp knife.
Sun Ce spent a huge amount of wealth to train the Flying Bear Guard for the purpose of dealing with Cao Ang.
Sun Ce had a good plan. The Flying Bear Guard could tie up most of Cao Ang's strength, while the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry could quickly eliminate Yuan Shu's camp outside Xiangyang City and threaten the security of southern Jingzhou.
Unfortunately, Sun Ce underestimated Cao Ang's strength.
The generals under Cao Ang included not only the five powerful generals Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, but also the two strategists Zhuge Liang and Chen Gong.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry sent by Sun Ce were defeated within a few days.
Sun Ce knew that this operation had failed, so he had to change his strategy and send another force to Jingzhou.
This force was the Yanzhou Corps controlled by Cao Cao, and its number reached 80,000.
Sun Ce ordered the Yanzhou Corps to attack Liu Biao.
The Yanzhou Corps has always been Cao Cao’s private army. They do not obey the command of the imperial court and only take orders from Cao Cao.
After receiving Sun Ce's order, the Yanzhou army immediately marched to Jingzhou.
At the same time, Sun Ce also asked Cheng Yu and Xun You to lead troops to assist.
These two people can be said to be Sun Ce's confidants, so they obey Sun Ce's orders.
The confluence of the two armies is bound to affect the situation in southern Jingzhou.
When Cai Mao and Chen Deng learned the news that Sun Ce had transferred the Yanzhou Corps, their faces turned pale. They didn't know how Cao Ang should resist the Yanzhou Corps when it arrived.
However, since Sun Ce dared to do this, he must be sure.
Cai Mao and Chen Deng looked at each other and immediately notified the garrisons in various places to prepare for defense.
Two days later, Sun Ce led his army to the vicinity of Xiangyang.
Sun Ce's arrival caused tension in Xiangyang.
"My lord, Sun Ce is coming with great force." Ju Su said.
Cao Ang smiled and said, "Wen Ruo, don't be alarmed. I'm afraid Sun Ce is not coming here to attack the city this time."
Ju Shou shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. Sun Ce is a treacherous and cunning man, good at scheming. This time he came here, he might end up losing more than he gained."
"Haha, let's see what he can do." Cao Ang said contemptuously. "My lord, we must be prepared to welcome Sun Ce's army." Ju Su said solemnly.
"Don't worry, Wenruo. I have already made all the arrangements." Cao Ang smiled mysteriously.
Cao Ang had indeed made all the arrangements. He concentrated all his elite troops outside the city of Xiangyang.
Moreover, Cao Ang's army gathered quietly at night.
Sun Ce had no idea the exact location of Cao Ang's army.
The next day, Sun Ce's army stopped about a hundred miles away from Xiangyang.
Sun Ce ordered his spies to find out the situation outside Xiangyang City.
After a while, spies reported that there was no one in Xiangyang City, and it seemed that the city had been abandoned and fled.
Sun Ce was overjoyed and immediately ordered the army to advance.
Soon after, Sun Ce's army arrived outside the city of Xiangyang.
When Sun Ce's army arrived at the city of Xiangyang, they found that the city gates were closed and there was no response.
"My lord, why is Xiangyang City closed?" Lu Su asked in confusion.
"Hmph! This is Cao Ang trying to lure me into the city!" Sun Ce said coldly.
"My lord is wise." Ju Su exclaimed.
Sun Ce said: "Send a message to the reinforcements, and have them rush to Xiangyang to join me."
"As ordered!"
Sun Ce sent people on horseback to notify the various reinforcements, and he was also waiting for them.
After Sun Ce waited for half an hour, reinforcements finally arrived, and the morale of Sun Ce's army was immediately boosted.
"My lord, I am willing to go to Xiangyang and break the city!" Xiahou Dun stood up.
Xiahou Yuan stopped him and said, "Brother, the Lord has ordered us to investigate first."
"Humph! I don't believe this." Xiahou Dun said angrily: "Didn't the lord say that Cao Ang has three generals under him? I want to see how powerful they are."
"You are so brave, Zhongkang, come with me!" Seeing Xiahou Dun being so arrogant, Xiahou Yuan immediately let Xiahou Dun be the vanguard.
Xiahou Dun nodded and followed Xiahou Yuan to Xiangyang.
Sun Ce's army was composed of elite troops, and Xiahou Yuan was the best among them.
Xiahou Dun rushed into Xiangyang City.
Xiahou Dun was a martial arts expert and he was in the front, so he soon arrived at Cao Ang's mansion.
"Who are you? How dare you break into the emperor's residence?" the guard at the door shouted.
"I am Xiahou Dun, a general under Sun Ce. I have been ordered to take your heads. If you know what's best for you, surrender. Otherwise, you will die!" Xiahou Dun drew his sword.
"General Xiahou? You are late!" The guard sneered, "My master has been waiting for you here for a long time."
"Looking for death!" Xiahou Dun was furious and immediately pounced on the guard.
The two sides fought, and Xiahou Dun killed the guard with one move.
"Oh no! The enemy is coming!" the guard shouted.
The originally peaceful Xiangyang City suddenly became boiling, and Cao Ang's guards drew their weapons and rushed towards Xiahou Dun.
"Looking for death!" Xiahou Dun's eyes were bloodshot. He killed seven or eight guards with one move and continued to kill forward.
The guards kept surrounding him, trying to stop Xiahou Dun.
"Humph, you're looking for death!" Xiahou Dun was furious and punched the guard in front of him. (End of this chapter)
