Chapter 357: The Battle of Jingzhou (5)

Cao Cao moved the nameless fire, but Zhang Xiu didn't know it. However, no wind or grass can hide from this pillow person. On this day, Zou sent a maidservant girl to see Zhang Xiu and said: "Because the general has a lot of resentment, Cao Gongyin wants to do it." Please also be on your guard. ”

Zhang Xiu listened, and a thin layer of sweat suddenly exploded on her back. hurriedly went out of the house to find Jia Xu. Jia Xu listened to it and said: "The general led the people to follow, how could Cao Cao be punished without teaching." It must be secretly bribing the generals in the army, and slowly trying to do it. In that case, we still have a chance. ”

The Liangzhou cavalry only listened to Zhang Xiu now, and Cao Cao would not do it until Zhang Xiu was completely erected. After the two understood this truth, they knew that as long as they did it before Cao Cao, they would still have a way to live. So they quickly discussed countermeasures.

After Zhang Xiu left, Jia Xu slapped his head, alas, he thought that he could be born in peace, but it turned out to be like this. Jia Xu can't, Zhang Xiu will definitely not sit still. He wants to do something, even if Jia Xu doesn't participate, Zhang Xiu also thinks about the past days and doesn't kill people. But after Zhang Xiu was launched, Cao Cao calculated the back account, and he Jia Xu couldn't get rid of suspicion. In this case, it is better to follow Zhang Xiu first, at least, you can control your personal safety.

On this day, Zhang Xiu came to visit Cao Cao, saying that since he was attached, Wanxian County would not leave the army by itself, and he would transfer the army and let them rest in the north of Wanxian. Wancheng and other counties have all the defenses, so they will trouble Cao Gong.

Cao Cao felt that it was right, and it was good to let Zhang Xiu leave Wancheng with the troops, and then he would take over the city defense, and he would be more stable when he slept at night. So he agreed.

Zhang Xiu also begged Cao Cao to allocate some carts to him to transport grain and grass supplies. Cao Cao didn't think much about it, so he agreed again. Zhang Xiu gathered his subordinates, and then hid his blade in the cart and went to his destination empty-handed. Along the way, you have to pass through the camp of the Cao army, but the Cao army troops saw that it was Zhang Xiu, and there were Cao Cao's orders. No one took such a surrendered army to heart, checked it casually, and let it go.

In the evening, Zhang Xiunai ordered the generals to take out the blades and armor in the cart, each mounted his horse, raised the fire as a signal, and attacked Cao Ying. This move, which is ruthless and vicious, is hitting Cao Jun's weakness. No one thought that Zhang Xiu, who was already a family, would rebel. By the time the generals in Cao's camp reacted, the camp was already in chaos, and there were flames everywhere.

Zhang Xiu led the cavalry, heavily armed, and clashed back and forth, harvesting the Cao soldiers who were scurrying around like headless flies in the fire. From time to time, screams rang out, and countless soldiers died tragically in their sleep. or by fire, or by the trampling of bows and arrows, of swords and spears, and of the hooves of horses.

Cao Cao stayed in Wancheng overnight, always felt a little restless, woke up in the middle of the night for no reason, came out in clothes, and watched the sky at night. Suddenly, the northern sky was faintly red. Just as he was about to pass on someone to ask, suddenly a guard general Dian Wei came to report: "Lord, I have to report that Zhang Xiu has rebelled outside the city, and he is leading the army to attack my camp." ”

Cao Cao was furious and said, "The shaft is so safe! Then he dressed up neatly and led the army to the camp outside the city.

When Cao Cao arrived, the camp was already in chaos. There was fire everywhere, smoke was filled, and the heat was overwhelming. In the smoke, there was only the sound of shouting and killing, and there were figures shaking everywhere, and I didn't know which side was the enemy and which side was the friend.

Cao Cao led the crowd, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu guarded the left and right. Gradually approaching the center of the battlefield, Cao Cao saw that it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me, so he made Dian Wei set up a handsome flag, and as soon as the banner was erected, countless soldiers and generals gradually gathered towards Cao Cao. The armies are gradually calming down.

At this moment, a cavalry suddenly came out of the smoke, saw the banner, and said happily: "Cao Cao is here!" As soon as the words fell, a rain of arrows rose and roared away.

When the sound of the sound sounded, Cao Cao said in his heart that it was not good, and he was careless. Dian Wei and Xu Chu next to him roared, and each rushed in front of Cao Cao to block the arrows with their bodies. Rao is so, because the rain of arrows is too concentrated, Cao Cao's famous horse is also hit by several arrows, a sad neigh, and Cao Cao is off the horse with a soft front leg.

At this time, hearing the previous shout, countless Liangzhou horsemen rushed over, and without saying much, several rounds of arrows rained out in volleys. The generals shouted, rushed out together, and led the crowd to fight with Liangzhou.

Zhang Xiu also came when he heard the sound, and when he saw Cao Cao's banner in front of him, he was overjoyed, so he chased after him. After several rounds of arrow rain, Dian Wei and Xu Chu each hung more than a dozen arrows on their bodies, and after helping Cao Cao up, they saw that Cao Cao's right arm was also hit by an arrow, and the blood flowed like a note. Dian Wei saw that the generals were fighting with Liangzhou Cavalry, so he said to Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, you help the lord to go, and I will break the queen." After speaking, he took out the halberd and stood horizontally in front of Cao Cao.

Xu Chu knew that the situation was critical, so he didn't say much, helped Cao Cao to get on the horse, and he escorted the left and right, all the way to the outside of the camp.

When the riders saw Cao Cao leaving, they were willing to let go, so they chased after them. Dian Wei is in the middle of the road, far away is thrown with a halberd, near with a halberd or stabbed or smashed. Kill dozens of horses in an instant. Seeing the majesty of Dian Wei, everyone did not dare to approach, and wanted to take a detour. Where is Dian Wei willing to put it, looking left and right, I saw a horizontal log on the ground, several zhang long, this one is scorched black, but that one is still burning, and the fire is raging. So he stood up horizontally and swept thousands of troops with one blow. A heavy whine rang out, and a flash of fire struck through the air. When everyone saw this, they all retreated, and some of them who couldn't avoid it were smashed until their bones were broken and their organs were bleeding.

Zhang Xiu saw Dian Wei and recognized it as Cao Cao's general, and after seeing him personally cut off, he thought that Cao Cao had avoided and couldn't catch up. So he said, "Can you come down?" ”

Dian Wei listened, where was he willing to respond, just holding the horizontal wood, sweeping and splitting. Zhang Xiu saw that Dian Wei was majestic and incredible, and sighed: "It's a pity that I don't use it." "He was about to order the horsemen to fire a volley. Suddenly, Cao Chun led a cavalry in front of him to kill. Seeing that Dian Wei was surrounded, he came to save him.

Zhang Xiu saw that Cao Chun's army was complete, and said in his heart that this person must be the elite of Cao's army, and he didn't want to entangle with it, so he led his troops to retreat. drove his command to kill and plunder those weak brigades and rebels.

Cao Chun rescued Dian Wei and asked, "General Dian, where is the lord?" ”

Dian Wei was also at the end of the crossbow, and he reluctantly struggled to say: "Zhongkang Bao Gong is gone." Then he fainted. Cao Chun guarded the camp, heard that Zhang Xiu rebelled, and after the chaos in the camp, he also spent a lot of effort to gather a cavalry and come back to find Cao Cao. Hearing that Cao Cao was fine, he took a long breath, carried Dian Wei, and went straight to Wancheng to find Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was defeated and retreated to Wancheng, and ordered the military doctor to take out the arrow in his right arm and bandage the wound. Seeing that the defeated army was all over the mountains, and Zhang Xiu's generals were behind, they covered up and killed. couldn't help but be furious, and thought to himself that the defeated army saw Zhang Xiu here, and didn't dare to come to Wan. Wancheng can't be stayed. So he said: "Where is the talent?" ”

After several calls, no one responded, and Cao Cao's face couldn't help but change.
