Chapter 163: The Battle of Xingyang (3)
After the pavilion was lowered, Liu Bei and Cao Cao hastily cleaned up the battlefield, and then each pretended to be the enemy and me, and fought at the head of the city. At the same time www.biquge.info a blood-stained armorer lay on his horse and fled to Xingyang in embarrassment.
In the house, when Xu Rong heard this, he slapped the case suddenly, and the things above were scattered: "What? Liu Bei Cao Cao led a large army to attack Yuting? Can't hold on? Help? ”
The armor soldier who came to ask for help knelt on the ground and said with an anxious face: "Dashuai, that's exactly the case. It's a pity that Liu Bei came too suddenly, so that our army was caught off guard. Marshal, please send troops to save me Yuting quickly, otherwise, Yuting will fall! ”
Xu Rong's face was gloomy, and he walked around the room with his hands on his back. The air was stagnant, and several lieutenants followed their boss's gaze, ready to follow the boss's orders.
As he walked, Xu Rong suddenly laughed: "Yes, yes, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, I still underestimate you after all." It's a good plan to hide from the sky and the sea. However, after all, you still want to lead me out of the city, and you want to lead me to Yuting, but I can't go, what can you do with me? ”
As soon as these words came out, all the generals were surprised and looked at each other, their own generals couldn't be insane, right? The armorer who was kneeling on the ground vomited blood in his heart when he heard this, what kind of broken reason is this? If you don't go to the pavilion, how can Lao Tzu make meritorious service? So the annoyance turned into a wail: "Handsome! You can't abandon our soldiers in the pavilion! ”
This voice was poignant and tortuous, full of bitterness, which moved the people present and shed tears when they heard it. There was a lieutenant general who couldn't stand it, so he came out and said: "General, if you don't save Yu Ting, will I sit back and watch Yu Ting fall?" If Yu Ting is lost, my Xingyang is equivalent to cutting off an arm......"
Xu Rong waved his hand and interrupted the chatter under his command: "I know the importance of the Pavilion better than you. But have you ever thought about it. Even if we send reinforcements, we will definitely be able to keep the pavilion? What if by the time the reinforcements arrive, Yuting has already fallen? If Liu Bei set up an ambush along the way, the reinforcements would not be able to arrive at all? Or, Liu Bei and Cao Cao's target is not Yu Ting at all, but our reinforcements from Xingyang City? ”
A series of questions made these simple-minded and muscular fighters dizzy. However, some people were quite unimpressed, and one adjutant general said: "General, are we thinking too much?" "It's so complicated, when a soldier eats food and encounters an enemy with a knife, he will fight, no matter what he does.
Xu Rong glared and said: "The major affairs of the country of soldiers, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored!" I am entrusted by the country, stationed in Xingyang, trembling, everything has to think twice, if you make a wrong step, it will be a catastrophe, you can know? ”
Everyone immediately understood that their own generals were under too much pressure and were a little nervous. Forget it, don't worry so much, whatever the general says, it's what it is. When the time comes, you just obey the military orders.
The armor on the ground was dumbfounded, and said for a long time, Xu Rong, this bastard, just doesn't go to the pavilion, how is this good? So he called out aggrievedly: "Handsome ......"
When Xu Rong heard this, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "You go down first, you can rest for a long time, and you will have to travel a long way to warn you." These days, they will live in my house with my own army. ”
So before this armor soldier could react, Xu Rong's personal guard came in and wanted to take him away, and the armor soldier reacted instantly, shouting: "The big man doesn't save my Yu Ting, so he begs the big man to let me return, I want to live and die with Yu Ting's robe!" "Just kidding, if you don't go out, I'll stay with you and do something.
Xu Rong didn't react, as if he hadn't heard it at all.
After he left, one of the adjutant generals said cautiously: "General, really don't you want to save Yu Ting?" ”
Xu Rong said: "If you don't save it, Yuting is a place of death, and you can't take it lightly." However, Liu Bei can't be better, I expected that after he got off the pavilion, he still couldn't shrink back when he saw me. will inevitably return to the division to fight back at Ao Cang. Hmph, cut off my horns, cut off my foreign aid, and then join forces to attack Xingyang. At that time, Xingyang will be really in danger. ”
When the generals heard this, they seemed to make sense, so they asked, "General, how is that good?" ”
Xu Rong said: "If you don't save Yuting, save Aocang." After nightfall, I personally raised the army, quietly left the city, and sneaked to Aocang. When Liu Bei returns to his division and attacks Aocang, I will choose the opportunity to act. At that time, if our army descends from heaven and takes it by surprise and is unprepared, its army will be defeated. Hahahahaha! ”
The generals glanced at each other and bowed together: "The general's clever plan, I might as well wait!" ”
Here Liu Bei and Cao Cao fought for a long time, and the soldiers sweated for a long time, which was much more tiring than the real fight. Everyone was tired, so the shouts became smaller and smaller, and the movements of the hands slowed down. Even the sound of drums is inevitably weak. Liu Bei and Cao Cao stared at each other in the camp, and after another scout came to report that there was no movement in Xingyang City, Liu Bei sighed: "Collect the troops, this Xu Rong is really patient." ”
Cao Cao smashed the case and said, "Guts rats, it's really angry to kill me!" Although he successfully won the Yu Pavilion, he did not attract Xu Rong after all, and Cao Cao was naturally not satisfied.
Liu Bei persuaded: "Forget it, Brother Meng De, Xu Rong is calm and forbearing, if you don't come out, you won't come out." When I return to attack Ao Cang, I don't believe he can endure it. ”
Hearing that Hui Shi was fighting back at Ao Cang, Cao Cao said: "Xuande, I have to be counted as one of those who attack Ao Cang." ”
Liu Bei frowned and said, "Brother Meng De, didn't you say before that you would come to guard the Yu Pavilion, and I would still attack Ao Cang?" In this way, isn't the Pavilion unguarded? ”
Cao Cao said: "Yu Ting is not even interested in Xu Rong, who else will come here?" You and I will each leave one to guard this place. ”
As a result, when the generals heard this, none of them were willing to stay and guard the pavilion, and they all shouted that they would attack Aocang with the army. Liu Bei, the four guys on Cao Cao's side, was not good at commanding, so he had to wronged his younger brother Liu Ke and left Shiyi Lang behind to guard the Yu Pavilion.
Just when Liu Bei and Cao Cao quietly returned to Aocang with their troops, Xu Rong also led 10,000 elite soldiers and sneaked into the Aocang area early in the night. Xu Rong was angry this time, and was determined to inflict heavy losses on Liu Cao's coalition army in Aocang Yibo. It's a pity that Liu Bei and others completely neglected Xingyang City, and when they lured Xu Rong out twice in a row, Liu Bei and Cao Cao were also paralyzed, feeling that Xu Rong was defending Xingyang and would no longer send troops. But how can people think through all the things in the world?
Liu Bei and Cao Cao joined forces, and on the second day, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Ao Cang guards, they suddenly broke out and stormed Ao Cang. Xun Yu and Huang Zhong were here before, and attacking the city every day was just a routine, and what they always paid attention to was the news from Yuting. Ao Cang guards the day and night defense, tired himself half to death, but the enemy army under the city is leisurely to death, beating drums, firing cannons, and shouting for a while, then stop the soldiers to eat, and then what to do. So Ao Cang went from a soldier to a general, and they all relaxed one by one. But not long after they relaxed, Liu Bei and Cao Cao came back with a large army. By the way, it also brought the news of the fall of Yuting.
For a time, at the head of Aocang City, thousands of arrows were fired together, throwing stones against wood, lime rolling oil, and all kinds of means came out. At the very beginning, the two sides went straight to the most tragic and bloody stage.
On the other side, on an inconspicuous hill, Xu Rong was dressed in black armor and was watching Liu Bei attack the city with the generals. The adjutant general next to him said worriedly: "General, we still don't make a move?" If you don't help each other, Ao Cang can't be saved. ”
Xu Rong slammed his sword on the ground, but he didn't move, and only replied after a long time: "Wait!" ”
In an instant, the generals understood that Xu Rong wanted to use Ao Cang as bait to maximize the consumption of Liu Bei and Cao Cao's strength. What a ruthless heart. However, isn't that what the battle is?
Cao Cao was under the city, and when he saw Ao Cang crumbling, he was overjoyed, and raised his sword and shouted: "Ao Cang can't hold on, whoever is the first to enter Ao Cang will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan and exempted from payment for one year!" ”
His command, which was full of soldiers, farmers, and exiles, was overjoyed when he heard this, and suddenly felt that his body had gained some strength out of thin air, so his attack became more and more violent.
Ao Cang Shou led his own soldiers, put out fires everywhere, where there were enemy troops who came up, they personally killed them one by one to go down to the city, so several times, the body was wounded several times, the blood flowed like an infusion, it was really unbearable. Sitting under the big stone of the city tower, he panted and said: "No, Ao Cang can't hold on, listen to my orders left and right, if Ao Cang is broken, burn the granary to me as soon as possible, don't keep the enemy!" ”
The soldiers shouted: "May I die with the general!" ”
Ao Cang guarded the general and said: "Dead fart, I will protect Lao Tzu and run away later." Lao Tzu has been defending the city until now, and none of the reinforcements have come, not to mention that Xu Rong doesn't know that Liu Bei is here, it seems that Xu Rong's husband has given up on my Aocang. Then I'm going to die for him? Is Ao Cang more important or is his own life important? ”
A pro-soldier said: "General, why don't you surrender?" I heard that Liu Xuande is an elegant person, well-known at home, and he should not treat the general badly. ”
Ao Cangshou shook his head and said: "Forget it, Lao Tzu has been in the army for more than ten years, and he was injured in a desperate life, this kind of knife licking blood Lao Tzu is tired of it, or take his family to find a place to live in seclusion, this day is chaotic, and I don't know how many years I have to fight." Don't be at that time, there won't even be a corpse. ”
"If you are willing to follow me, follow it, and if you don't want to follow, go and vote for that Liu Bei."
All the relatives and soldiers said in unison: "We are willing to follow the general." ”
Ao Cang Shou suddenly laughed and said, "Good, good!" Seeing that there were more and more enemy troops in the city, he said: "Forget it, let's go together, the city can't be defended, and the grain should not be burned. ”
Aocang City, broken.
At the head of Aocang City, the sound of shouting and killing still kept coming. It was sporadic resistance from the defenders. In the thick smoke, Liu Bei saw that the overall situation had been decided, smiled at Cao Cao, and said: "Ao Cang is down, Xingyang is not far away, Brother Meng De, let's go to the city." ”
Cao Cao said with a smile: "This time I will go down to two cities, and I will rely on the power of Xuande, Xuande will invite you first, and I will postpone it." ”
Liu Bei was not polite, so he slapped his horse and led the Chinese army into the city. At this moment, Xu Rong's eyes flashed, and he said, "Order the three armies, attack!" Target, Cao Cao's department! ”
