After hearing the respective opinions of Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, Cao Hong had an idea in his heart, only to see that he still had the majesty of a general, and then Cao Hong looked at the two and said: "The enemy's movements this time have not yet been clarified, if our army attacks rashly, I am afraid that the enemy's path will be followed."
Who knows if that Zhang Fei was tricked by the strategists in his army, deliberately led a small number of soldiers and horses to lure us into the bait, and then ambushed tens of thousands of troops waiting to destroy us. ”As soon as Cao Hong's voice fell, Cao Xiu couldn't help but speak again: "General, this time the enemy army actually marched, then we have to make a precautionary measure."
lest the enemy deliberately send 10,000 soldiers and horses to make our army careless, and take advantage of our army's unpreparedness to carry out a sneak attack in the middle of the night. ”After hearing this, Cao Hong immediately nodded his head repeatedly, and said quite approvingly to Cao Xiu's suggestion: "Well, it makes sense, this matter will be handled by you, and it is necessary to strengthen the online patrol of the whole army, and we must not give the enemy a chance to sneak attack."
also let Liu Bei's soldiers and horses see the strength of our army, if he dares to come, he will fight them and never return. ”With Cao Xiu's decision, Cao Hong sent a number of detectives to closely monitor the movements of Jian Fei and others, and it can be said that he did not let go of any suspicions.When several detectives were distributed in Zhang Fei's tent and other places, they suddenly heard a shocking news, only to hear some news coming from Zhang Fei's military tent.It is said that there are tens of thousands of troops of Liu Bei in the rear who will come to meet at any time, intending to cut off the road to the southern line of Cao's army, and this time taking Hanzhong is just around the corner.Hearing such a message, Cao Jun's detective couldn't help but lose his voice loudly, and hurriedly rushed back to inform Cao Hong of the news."
What Zhang Fei is just a vanguard army, and there are tens of thousands of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses coming behind" Hearing the news reported by the outpost, Cao Hong couldn't help but be surprised, he never expected such an emergency to happen.At that moment, Cao Hong suddenly felt at a loss, and didn't know how to deal with this matter, a Zhang Fei had already given him a headache and helplessness, and now there was a Liu Bei and tens of thousands of troops, Cao Hong thought that he didn't have the ability to fight.And this time, not only did he not have the ability to lead troops to attack Liu Bei and Zhang Fei's army, but he was also worried that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei would join forces to counterattack him, in that case, he would definitely not be able to resist that kind of offensive.Cao Hong, who was driven crazy by Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, complained to Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen in the mansion and said: "Tell me what to do now, this time Zhang Fei took the lead in leading an army of 10,000 people to come to discern the actual situation of our army."
And Liu Bei's army behind is the real key main force, I heard that there are about tens of thousands of troops, with our current strength may be difficult to compete with.Let's see if we want to withdraw our troops and join forces with the main army, so as to reduce unnecessary casualties and preserve our strength. ”Cao Zhen was the first to speak: "General, if you withdraw from the army at this moment, it is equivalent to letting Liu Bei get these cities for nothing, which is simply too cheap Liu Bei."
In the end, we should step up our hoarding efforts and resist the attack of Liu Bei's army with all our might, how can we support it for a while.If that Zhang Fei came to lead the troops to call for battle, Cao Zhen was willing to lead an army out of the city to engage in battle, and frustrate the prestige of the enemy, so as to improve the morale and morale of our army. ”"Even if our army does its best to defend this place, if the army fails to come to the rescue, we will fight to the death sooner or later, and it is better to keep our troops.In this way, we can join the army, and in the future, we will have the opportunity to fight with Liu Bei's army with all our strength to decide the victory, and there is no need to make such a senseless sacrifice. ”Listening to Cao Zhen's words, Cao Hong still shook his head, still looking disapproving, and saw that this time he was determined to retreat without a fight.Immediately, I heard Cao Xiu bow to Cao Hong and say: "General, the last general thinks that Liu Bei's army is lying this time, and deliberately released the news to confuse our army." ”Hearing Cao Xiu's words, Cao Hong was stunned and then asked with some puzzlement: "What does Xiu'er mean by this, this time our army found out the news, and Liu Bei's army in the rear of the enemy army intends to come with heavy troops to cut off the southern road of our army."
When playing, Zhang Fei's soldiers and horses are attacking from one side, so as to surround our army, our army will definitely be defeated, how can this be to confuse our army, I think we should make defensive preparations in advance before the enemy gains momentum, and we must not let the enemy gain momentum. ”Cao Xiu couldn't help but tell Cao Hong what he was thinking in his heart truthfully: "General, the last general wants to gamble, and the last general guesses that the enemy general Zhang Fei deliberately leaked my news this time for our army to know, but in fact, this news should be fake."
Think about it, if Liu Bei really leads the soldiers and horses to try to cut off the rear of our army, it must be very strict news.This time, however, Zhang Fei made a big deal of the news, obviously deliberately leaking it to us, just to delay the movement of our army.You must know that once Zhang Fei's plan succeeds, he can use the strength of less than 10,000 people to delay our entire army, so that Liu Bei's remaining soldiers and horses can be given enough opportunities.Therefore, Cao Xiu begged the general to allocate a number of troops and horses to Cao Xiu, so that Cao Xiu could lead his troops to launch an attack on the enemy army and explore the reality of the enemy army.If the enemy is full of fighting spirit, it means that there will be Liu Bei's army in the rear, and if the enemy army is panicked, it means that the heart is empty. ”It can be said that Cao Xiu's bet is really a bit risky, and if the attack on the enemy fails this time, he will face even greater losses.Although Cao Xiu's plan is a bit risky, it has to be said that this is a more appropriate way to do it at present.When Cao Hong thought about it again, he still didn't think of any other suitable way, so he had to follow Cao Xiu's plan and said: "This time, I will allocate 20,000 soldiers and horses to you to go to find out the reality of the enemy army."
If you can succeed, you will defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, but if there is a change, you will withdraw immediately, and you must ensure your life, and do not take it lightly. ”Cao Xiu, the general of Cao Cao's personal army, is Cao Cao's clan.When the Eastern Han Dynasty was in turmoil, the Cao clan dispersed and left the township.Cao Xiu lost his father when he was more than ten years old, and carried his father's coffin alone with a guest, and temporarily rented a cemetery for his father's burial.Subsequently, the old mother of the carrier crossed the river to take refuge in Wu and was taken in by the Taishou of Wu County.At that time, Cao Xiu was in the Taishou official residence, and when he saw the portrait of the former Taishou, that is, his grandfather Cao Ding, hanging on the wall, Cao Xiu couldn't help but miss his father in his heart, and then cried bitterly, winning everyone's praise and regret.Until Dong Zhuo entered the cholera dynasty in Beijing, Cao Cao raised volunteers in Yanzhou to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and Cao Xiu returned to the Central Plains from Wudi, which was thousands of miles away, through Jingzhou to the north, to join Cao Cao and support Cao Cao's great cause of raising troops.At that time, Cao Cao felt a sigh of emotion in his heart, and said to the people on the left and right: "This is my family's thousands of miles away." ”Afterwards, Cao Cao treated him as if he were his own son, and followed Cao Pi to eat and live together, and after some conquest, Cao Cao appointed Cao Xiu as the leader of the tiger and leopard cavalry guard.In fact, many people understand differently in the name of this Qianli Ju, one of the meaning of this Qianli Ju is to say that the speed is fast, and it is intended that Cao Xiu will come as quickly as possible when he learns that Cao Cao raised troops to rebel, which makes Cao Cao very pleased.The other statement is to explain the distance, meaning that Cao Xiu has rushed back thousands of miles away, as for some others, they are indifferent to this, and for some people, it contains irony.After all, the Cao family is one of the few big families, and the people who came to support Cao Cao's rebellion did not account for many proportions, which was also a big disappointment for Cao Cao.However, this is also a thing of the past, of course Cao Cao doesn't want to turn this matter out, after all, it is his own family's business, and Cao Cao will not do family cannibalism like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu when he is developing.Cao Cao looked at Cao Xiu like this, and of course Cao Hong didn't dare to let him make any mistakes, otherwise, Cao Hong's achievements in recent years would be in vain.After receiving Cao Hong's repeated instructions, Cao Xiu took Cao Hong's soldiers and horses and led 20,000 soldiers and horses to the Cao army garrison that came this time.Let's say that after Zhang Fei received the intention of Fa Zheng, in order to make the tactics of attacking the east and the west more beautiful, he began to prepare for the whole army to go out to attract the attention of the enemy.Zhang Fei even led the army to prepare to seize the opportunity to attack Cao Hong, Zhang Bao went with him as a lieutenant general on the march, taking almost half of the troops, the purpose is to make Cao Jun's land not only the vanguard of the army this time, but also the vanguard of the heavy army, while Lei Tong and Wu Lan led the rest of the men to guard the garrison.Seeing Zhang Fei and his son Zhang Bao leading the tiger and wolf division of the headquarters to the land of Cao Jun, Wu Lan and Lei Tong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.This time, everyone came to attack the Cao army with 10,000 soldiers and horses, and it can be said that if one is not good, it will attract all the Cao army, and when the time comes, it will be enough to rely on the strength of the B army to be cannon fodder.Only by striking first and attacking can we have a chance to win.This time, Zhang Fei took the initiative to attack, and the place where he was stationed would be temporarily stable, and then he relaxed his vigilance in his heart.Cao Xiu is not only smart, but also the soldiers and horses he leads are also the most powerful tiger and leopard cavalry in Cao's army, especially in the surprise attack, which is comparable to the courage of the tiger and leopard.The careless Wu Lan and Lei Tong didn't wait for a reaction, they were broken by Cao Xiu's 20,000 elites, and Wu Lan, Lei Tong and Ren Kui were all killed.And all his subordinates were also killed, which can be said to be the annihilation of the whole army, as long as a few sergeants bravely fought their way out of a bloody way to directly find Zhang Fei's army to report the matter.After Zhang Fei learned about it, he didn't expect that there would be such a wise general in this Cao army, and he saw through his plan.And I didn't expect the soldiers of the Cao army to be so brave, this time his army had a total of 12,000 people.He took away half of the soldiers and horses, and there were still thousands of soldiers and horses left behind, but he was killed by Cao's army and only less than a few dozen horsemen escaped, and the whole army was wiped out in a battle.This time the general trend has gone, Zhang Fei and others have little point in staying here, and they may be attacked by the enemy at any time, Zhang Fei immediately collected his troops and fled back to the garrison of the second army around Cao Xiu's army
