Chapter 784: The Yanzhou Army Enters Xinye
"No!" The crowd agreed in unison.
In Xiling City, Jiangxia, Sun Ce and the others made their next move, that is, to go south directly and take Changsha. Everyone agreed, after all, the lord and Zhou Yu were very reasonable, and seeing that their lord was like that, he really wanted to attack Changsha, so naturally it was better not to ignore his lord's intentions.
In this way, after resting for two days, Sun Ce left Cheng Pu and 5,000 soldiers to guard the Imperial Xiling, and then he led the army south to Changsha. As for Jiangxia, after having Huang Gai and Cheng Pu, two experienced veterans, to guard the emperor, Sun Ce was indeed very relieved. And although Cheng Pu also wanted everyone to go to Changsha together, he also knew that the important task entrusted to him by his main bus was to defend Jiangxia. After all, if the most chaotic state today, that is Jingzhou, even if it is Hebei, it is not like this-
Xinye, after Cao Cao let the Yanzhou army rest for a day, he let Le Jin lead the troops to attack Xinye. This time, Cao Cao was really angry, so that Le Jin didn't have to be tempted, and directly attacked Xinye with all his might. There is no way, Lejin can only listen to his own lord. In fact, don't talk about his own father-in-law, even if he is himself, he also secretly hates Zhuge Liang. After all, he has suffered two losses in his hands, so if he can't find this, then he won't lose his face in front of the world.
However, although Lejin attacked with all his strength with the Yanzhou soldiers, he still failed to take advantage of Xinye after all. Don't look at Xinye's guards, there are thousands of people, but under Zhuge Liang's training, not only is the combat strength good, but his army is indeed quite good in defending the city. So Lejin really didn't take any advantage.
In the end, Cao Cao had no choice but to let the soldier Mingjin withdraw his troops, for him, in fact, today's these are all in his expectations. After all, if he takes Xinye in one day, then Zhuge Kongming is indeed not worthy of his name. But Cao Cao still has a lot of confidence, in his opinion, his own army of nearly 100,000, if he can't take a city guarded by a few thousand people, then he will directly retreat back to Yanzhou to farm. Really, what kind of world are you fighting like that? Not at all-
And for Zhuge Liang of Xinye, he also had to admit that Cao Mengde's Yanzhou Army was a good opponent. At least others must be stronger than themselves, and this must be admitted. However, you have Shinno as a barrier, so you can deal with the other party for a while. But it is definitely not safe for the rest of your life, so of course you have to plan ahead.
Two days later. The Yanzhou Army continued to attack Xinye. And they have been attacking for three days in a row, it can be said that the battle in Xinye is becoming more and more fierce day by day, and Zhuge Liang can also see that his side is about to be unable to hold it, so now it can only retreat, there is no second way. Surrender is certainly impossible.
The Yanzhou army attacked Xinye for three days, and on the night of the third day, Zhuge Liang led his troops to retreat. Of course, this was planned by him a long time ago, and he expected that Cao Cao would never catch up. So he didn't even ambush him, he directly led his troops to retreat, and the speed was fast. As for the people of Xinye, although some people know the Tao and want to leave with Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang is not Liu Bei after all, and he will not take these burdens with him.
In fact, Liu Bei was able to cross the river with the people back then, and he must admit that he really wanted to increase his strength, because as I have said a long time ago, the strength of each prince, in the final analysis, is still related to people, so if you have a large population, your strength will naturally increase, and you can also gain a lot of good reputation, why not do it.
As for Liu Bei's consideration for the people, to be honest, of course he also understands that "those who win the hearts of the people win the world". But I have to say that Liu Bei crossed the river with the people, and it was definitely for the sake of the people. At least if he really thinks about the people, he must know the way, the people are different from the army, so he runs for his life, maybe he is not dead, and he has died a lot, so Liu Bei is for his own interests, and he also knows the way to buy the hearts of the people-
When the soldiers came to report to Cao Cao, Cao Cao naturally heard it clearly, and Zhuge Liang led his troops to retreat.
He thought for a while, and at this time, several generals persuaded him, saying that he would lead troops to pursue, but Cao Cao smiled at this time, "Everyone, don't fall for Zhuge Kongming's plan!" If our army pursues, there must be an ambush for them, so ......"
When everyone heard it, the words of their lord were indeed not unreasonable. At least people didn't retreat and flee when they were defeated, but retreated in an orderly manner, so if you want to say that there is no ambush, a few of you don't believe it. And these days, they have indeed seen Zhuge Liang's power. So they definitely didn't dare to underestimate Zhuge Liang, and they couldn't stop nodding at their lord's words. After all, I suffered two losses before, but it did exist and happened.
Several generals hurriedly echoed their words, saying that what their lord said was reasonable and right, and that was what was going on.
Several people hurriedly said: "The lord is wise! ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed, "Hahaha!" Haha ”
In fact, although Cao Cao was indeed very unwilling at this time, he thought at this time, you Zhuge Kongming, led the troops to retreat, although he wanted me Cao Mengde to pursue, and then ambushed you, but what is happening now, I didn't fall into the plan, but I saw through your conspiracy. Hahaha, if you want to make your own side suffer like the previous two times, then you just have to wait and see if you can still suffer.
I have to say that Zhuge Liang still calculated Cao Cao, but unfortunately Cao Cao didn't know the way, but he thought he had a plan, he thought he didn't succeed, but in fact, it was the third time he suffered a loss, but he didn't know the way yet-
Until daytime. Cao Cao let the soldiers enter Xinye. Originally, he should have entered the city last night, but to be honest, Cao Cao's suspicious personality became even more obvious after meeting Zhuge Liang. And he suffered two losses in a row, so when he faced Zhuge Liang, he had to be cautious. Because he knows that if he is careless, then he will repeat the mistakes of the past.
Cao Cao led his troops to Zhuge Liang's mansion, as for Liu Bei's mansion. He didn't even care. Anyway, he also knew that there were no people in that place, and it was impossible for Zhuge Liang to retreat without taking Liu Bei's family away. I heard that Liu Bei already has an heir now, and it seems that he is less than a year old. It's an old man. Do you say that Zhuge Liang may not be able to protect his young master and Liu Bei's wife and concubine.
Cao Cao naturally heard the words that Liu Bei once said, that is, the clothes and siblings. He and Liu Bei have known each other for many years. I do know a little bit about it. It is true that he doesn't value his wife so much, but it is impossible not to value his children, after all, he Liu Beinian is no longer confused, so he has such a son, so ......-
"My lord. There's an epistle here! ”
Xun You took the letter on the table in Zhuge Liang's mansion and his study to Cao Cao.
And Cao Cao looked at it, and it read: Cao Sikong personally opened, five big characters. Cao Cao took a look. Zhilu said, this is Zhuge Liang's handwritten letter to himself, let's see, what did he Zhuge Kongming write, and what he had to say to himself. Although Cao Cao didn't think it was a good thing, curiosity drove him to take it apart and see it himself.
As a result, when he opened the letter, Cao Cao's face was almost angry. Xun You, Cheng Yu, Guan Yu and a few other people next to him looked at it like this, Cao Cao's expression now, he was sure that Zhuge Liang didn't say anything good in his letter.
Isn't that what is going on, Cao Cao asked himself, how many years he has been fighting in the world, and he has encountered countless enemies and opponents. But to be honest, it is the first time I have encountered such a strong opponent as Zhuge Liang, the key is not only that he is young, but also that he always has something unexpected that makes him unguardable.
Before, in Queweipo, he ambushed his Yanzhou army, and then let their soldiers humiliate themselves naked/naked. To tell the truth, the so-called "soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated", even if they are hostile sides, there is rarely such humiliation in them. But he Zhuge Liang is still a scribe, but he has no taboos at all, what he wants to do, and how to do it at the end, he has no worries at all, so he has to worry about him-
Of course, I'm not afraid that a person will follow the rules, but I'm afraid that you won't follow the rules and be uneasy about doing things. Obviously, in Cao Cao's view, Zhuge Liang is such a person, and he doesn't do things according to common sense at all.
In Cao Cao's opinion, he is obviously not afraid of being scolded. If you want to say that there are fewer people in the world who scold him, but he Zhuge Liang let the soldiers humiliate himself, so he has to make himself angry. And last time it was once, this time it was again, this time Zhuge Liang is purely angry with himself.
The content of the letter is very simple, Zhuge Liang means that when you Cao Sikong saw his own letter, I might be about to lead troops into Fancheng. It's a pity that Cao Sikong didn't let the army chase me, otherwise I wouldn't have been prepared, so fortunately. We will meet later, and we are looking forward to meeting Cao Sikong and Yanzhou Jun again in Fancheng.
As a result, just a few words, Cao Cao was really angry. He can be regarded as knowing the Tao, and everyone knows how he is, so he deliberately left a letter to show himself, so that he can know that he is still in the middle of the trick. So this made Cao Cao angry, Cao Cao was not so easy to get angry, but when he faced Zhuge Liang, he couldn't-
When a few people next to him saw their lord like this, they all knew that they were very angry.
Xun You said: "Lord, this ......"
Cao Cao snorted coldly, "Hmph! Kong Ming Pifu, deceive people too much!! ”
As he spoke, he handed the letter to Xun You, and there was nothing to hide. If you want to hide all of this, it is likely to cause some estrangement between your subordinates and yourself. And I'd rather let my subordinates see it, rather than be like that. And this Cao Cao can be regarded as seeing that Zhuge Liang is his heart can be punished. Looking at how to deal with his letter, this is definitely a problem he gave himself, he just wants to see his own jokes, I have to say that he has even calculated this, but he is inferior to others, his own account...... (To be continued......)
