The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 269 Make friends with Cao Mengde and plan to retreat south
Under the city of Xiao County
With the crazy onslaught of the Wagang Army, Mu Guiying, who was the defender, couldn't help but feel the pressure.

After successive attacks, the defenders were already exhausted and exhausted!
Just when the Wagang Army was about to break through the city, suddenly an army ready to attack appeared behind the Wagang Army.

With the assistance of this army, the offensive deployment of the Wagang Army was disrupted in an instant.

Looking carefully, the banner of this army is exactly the Cao Ziqi.

Don't think about it, this is the strength of Cao Cao's troops in Qiaojun.

I saw Cao Jun Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren acted as vanguards and took the lead in entering the Wagang Army.

For a moment, the Wagang Army, which was unprepared, was immediately crushed by the impact, mourning again and again.

After that, Cao Cao, as the chief general, entered the Chinese army to command the soldiers and advanced step by step.

In the end, with Cao Cao's strong entry, the Wagang Army who was about to break the city had no choice but to retreat!
Retreat [-] miles and start a confrontation with the front line of Xiao County!

…………

Wagang Army Main Account Office
I saw a general kneeling here silently, accepting the trial of the coach Li Mi.

This general was Qu Tutong who was in charge of leading thousands of troops to confuse the Sui and Jing armies that day.

On that day, Gao Qi relied on the impact of the Iron Buddha and Pei Yuanqing's peerless bravery.

The gate of the main camp was opened in one fell swoop, and then tens of thousands of cavalry swarmed in.

The final outcome was that Qu Tutong was defeated and all the strategic materials accumulated in the camp were destroyed!
"Qu Tutong, when I led the army to leave, how did I tell you?"

"It must be well confuse the Sui and Jing armies, and it must not let its main battalion be empty, and guard the camp well."

"But now that you are here, not only thousands of people are defeated, but all strategic materials are completely destroyed."

For a moment, Li Mi's heart was bleeding.

After all, Wagangzhai is only a cottage, and the money and food are almost completely poor!
And the people under his command are almost all peasant rebels.

That's why Li Mi wanted to take the opportunity to raid and take down the Luokou Warehouse where the military rations were hoarded.

In this way, inexhaustible money and food can be obtained to strengthen the strength of Wagang Village.

But in the end, this plan was also blocked by Cao Cao, and it was over!

Therefore, Wagang's logistics was not diligent at all, although it took down the counties and counties in the northern part of the Central Plains.

But it also takes a certain amount of time to develop and cultivate, which takes time.

It should be known that Zhai Rang, who is now the head of the village, just wants to separate one side and has no ambitions.

But Li Mi is different. He has an ambitious and ambitious ambition buried in his heart.

Therefore, he attaches great importance to everything in Wagang.

…………

"At the end of the day, I will lose the camp, and I deserve death. Please punish Li Shuai!"

Following Li Mi's unfriendly tone of accusation, Qu Tutong couldn't help pleading guilty silently.

Hearing Qu Tutong's plea so wisely, Li Mi quickly thought about how to deal with Qu Tutong's crime.

After all, as a veteran on the battlefield, Qu Tutong has very rich experience in military use, and he can also be called a generation of good generals.

Next, Xu Shiji seemed to have penetrated Li Mi's inner thoughts, and slowly stood up and said: "This matter has something to do with Ji's improper planning!"

"Ji originally thought that the layout should be foolproof, but Gao Qi still wasn't fooled and personally led the army back to help."

"Now it seems that Gao Qi also has top strategists who are advising him!"

Hearing this, Li Mi was puzzled and asked, "Why did Shi Ji say that?"

Immediately afterwards, Xu Shiji slowly explained: "Ji's scheme is actually aimed at the chief general."

"It should be noted that as the saying goes, 'the authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear'."

"This shows that as authorities, it is easy to be confused by the superficial situation and make wrong judgments."

"And the reason why Ji set up a plan to ambush Gao Qi is to hope that Gao Qi will learn the news that Xiao County is besieged."

"Immediately panicked, made the wrong choice, and came back to help!"

"But the final result is that Gao Qi sensibly did not come back to help, but went the other way, attacking our army's main camp, and destroying our army's strategic supplies!"

"Therefore, there must be top talents who are not inferior to Gao Qi behind Gao Qi."

For a while, following Xu Shiji's analysis, all the generals in the tent, including the coach Li Mi, suddenly realized.

In fact, Xu Shiji also wanted to solve Li Mi's problems when he said these words.

After all, Qu Tutong has now lost his main battalion and committed a felony in the military.

But Qu Tutong is also a veteran in the battlefield after all, Li Mi is very embarrassed to deal with this matter!
That's why Xu Shiji spoke out to rescue Qu Tutong.

But on the other hand, Xu Shiji had to be shocked in his heart.

Because of Gao Qi's strategy of turning against the guest, he used it with great proficiency!

Immediately, Xu Shiji was also punished symbolically for improper planning.

As for Qu Tutong, because of Xu Shiji's exoneration, Li Mi followed suit, dragged Qu Tutong out of his account, and punished him with twenty army sticks.

But Qu Tutong was really worthy of being a fighter on the battlefield, he hit his body with a stick, but he didn't groan.

Later, Li Mi also demoted Qu Tutong to the rank of military marquis, and made great contributions to the crime!

…………

A few days later, the Jingzhou cavalry who wiped out thousands of people in Wagang finally marched to Xiao County.

For a while, because Cao Cao was stationed outside the city, he and Mu Guiying in the city were horns, and they jointly resisted the attack of the Wagang Army.

At this time, together with Gao Qi's tens of thousands of cavalry, the Wagang Army retreated decisively and confronted Cao Gao's allied forces.

Cao Jun's tent
Gao Qi went to Cao Cao's tent under the escort of the personal guard Chen Dao to thank him for his rescue.

After all, Xiao County is now being attacked by the Wagang Army. If Cao Cao hadn't led the army to help in time, I'm afraid Mu Guiying might not be able to hold the city.

Gao Qi feels that he is not an ungrateful person, a real villain who will repay every grudge, repay every kindness, and clearly distinguish between grievances and grudges.

After some chatting, Gao Qi also successfully chatted with Cao Cao about his feelings.

After all, the two still share many common aspirations, the most obvious of which is their hope that the world will return to peace.

May the common people all over the world be able to live a prosperous and stable life.

At the end of the chat, Gao Qi suddenly said: "Brother Meng De, in view of your help to Qi this time!"

"Gao Qi would like to send you a gift as a thank you!"

Immediately, Cao Cao laughed and said, "Brother Tianyu, why talk about gifts? It's reasonable for me to share the same spirit with you, and to advance and retreat together. Why talk about thanking you?"

However, although Cao Cao refused, Gao Qi still resolutely gave the gift.

In the end, Gao Qi's gift to Cao Cao was unexpected. It turned out to be the tens of thousands of Fang troops captured when he defeated Fang Jie's troops.

In fact, although this move seems generous, Gao Qi has also thought it through carefully.

That is, Gao Qi has now reached a strategic plan to disrupt the Central Plains, and is about to lead his army back south.

But the tens of thousands of prisoners of war captured at this time could not be taken for their own use because the time was too short!

In this way, staying in the army is just an added burden.

…………

Therefore, sending it to Cao Cao can reduce the burden and not slow down the marching speed.

Second, you can also gain Cao Cao's favor.

The third is that Cao Cao's strength is far inferior to the Wagang Army, and Gao Qi fears that the gap between Cao Cao's strength in Wagang Village is too large.

At that time, it will be wiped out or incorporated by it, and the Central Plains will be unified by Wagang.

Adding a certain amount of strength to it, allowing Cao Cao and the Wagang Army to divide the Central Plains and restrain each other, is Gao Qi's real goal.
