Early the next morning, Xun You hurriedly came to Cao Cao, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "Lord, I have a complete strategy, which can not only capture Jinyang, but also kill Han Meng." ”

Cao Cao saw that Xun You's eyes were bloodshot, the bags under his eyes were still a little swollen, and he looked tired, so he knew that Xun You must have not slept all night. He hurriedly asked, "Gongda hasn't slept all night, and he's thinking about this strategy?" ”

Xun You said: "Even if you don't sleep for three days and three nights, you have to come up with this perfect strategy." ”

Cao Cao was moved, and immediately said: "I have your best to assist, if I can't achieve great things this time, what face does my Cao Cao have to stand between heaven and earth?" ”

Xun You said: "The lord doesn't have to be like this, in the past, King Goujian, the king of Yue, tried his courage for 20 years before he defeated the state of Wu and ascended to the position of overlord." No matter where the lord is or what kind of life he lives, Gongda swears to follow the lord to the death, and he will never betray him. ”

"Gongda!" Cao Cao was excited, and as soon as he grasped Xun You's hand, his eyes were moist.

The two cherished each other and did not abandon or leave, and then Xun You told his strategy, and after Cao Cao heard it, he was immediately full of praise.

"Such a clever plan, only Gongda can come up with it, if so, Jinyang City will be broken." Cao Cao said happily.

The news that Tai Shi Ci led the army to Jinyang, Cao Cao knew it early on, and the reason why he did not act immediately was to find a way to avoid Tai Shi Ci's soldiers and horses.

Now, Xun You's strategy has made Cao Cao very satisfied, so that. He didn't have to worry about Tai Shi Ci's army anymore. And that's not all. In this scheme. can also use Tai Shici's hand to get rid of Han Meng.

Therefore, Cao Cao gathered all the generals and discussed in the hall, including Han Meng.

When all the people arrived in the hall one after another, Cao Cao said aloud: "It has been seven days since we left Huguan, and we have not done anything in the past seven days. I believe. General Yuan must have been impatient waiting outside Huguan. However, this is also for a reason, because Zhang Yan sent Tai Shici to lead an army of 5,000 to come to the state to help Zhang Yang, and now he has arrived in Jinyang, which is clearly an enemy of us. To this end, I formulated a strategy to divert the tiger from the mountain, and I led an army of 1,000 people, bluffing along the way, and directly attacking the Xiangshang Party. If Tai Shi Ci heard about this, he would definitely send troops to follow. At that time, General Han will lead the headquarters of 3,000 elite soldiers. To attack Jinyang City, with the garrison of Jinyang City, the courage of General Han, and the elite of his subordinates, Jinyang will inevitably be captured. I don't know what General Han thinks? ”

Han Meng secretly thought, "How could Cao Cao be so kind and let me do good things?" Besides, Jinyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although I have 3,000 elite soldiers, but I have not been able to capture Jinyang. At that time, if I can't capture Jinyang, Cao Cao will inevitably frame me for incompetence in front of the lord, and then trap me in injustice. I wouldn't be so stupid! ”

As soon as he thought of this, Han Meng said to Cao Cao: "General Cao's subordinates are full of talents, both civil and military, this matter of attacking the city and plundering the land, let it be handed over to General Cao, I am willing to be bait to fish out Tai Shici and others in Jinyang City." ”

Cao Cao said: "General Han, Tai Shi Ci is a fierce general under Zhang Yan's account, and the soldiers led this time are all elite, although this time it is only a feint to attack the party, but if Tai Shi Ci really kills the general, it is inevitable that there will be a fierce battle." However, there are few soldiers in Jinyang City, and there are no unscrupulous generals under Wang Hui's account, so in comparison, attacking Jinyang City will be much simpler......"

"Because of this, I am willing to give this simple task to General Cao, when I came out, the lord had an order, let me be the main one in everything, this matter of attracting troops, or leave it to me."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Since General Han insists on insisting, then I won't force it, then General Han will lead an army of 1,000, bluff along the way, feint to attack the party, and the rest will follow me to attack Jinyang City." General Han, what do you think? ”

Although Han Meng was not very reluctant to let his troops separate, but at this moment, he was helpless, since Cao Cao had already begun to attack Jinyang City, let him attack it, and his own soldiers and horses were only temporarily at his disposal.

"I don't have any opinions, so let's do it!" Han Meng said.

Cao Cao said: "Okay, then it's decided, General Han, you will gather a thousand elite soldiers today, go all the way to the south, bluff along the way, and feint to attack the party." ”

After the order was issued, Han Meng went to gather the elite soldiers, took ten days of dry food, and took the lead in leaving Daling City, all the way to the south.

To the south of Daling County, is Qi County, Han Meng arrived at Qi County as quickly as possible, burning, killing and looting along the way, doing all kinds of evil, every time he did evil things, he always left Cao Cao's name.

In addition, Han Meng also specially drove a large number of people, pretending to be an army, and the gongs and drums were noisy along the way, and it was not lively along the way.

Qi County, is Wang Ling's hometown, the habitat of the Wang clan, the entire county, half of the Wang clan occupied, the Wang clan people learned that Han Meng led the army to arrive, spontaneously organized, and the county order together to garrison the city.

When Han Meng arrived at the county seat of Qixian County, he saw that the county seat was tense, and the county order had already been prepared, so he was afraid of losing his troops and losing his generals, so he did not order an attack, but continued to the south, and deliberately released the news, saying that he was going to attack Shangdang.

The county magistrate of Qi County was Wang Hui's own nephew, so he sent people to Jinyang City to inform Wang Hui.

At the same time, Cao Cao in Daling City gathered all his soldiers and horses, quickly left Daling City, but secretly sneaked into the valley, waiting for a good opportunity.

On the other hand, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Yuan to get in touch with Huchuquan, Qubei and others, and took them together into the valley.

……

Jinyang City.

After Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zhang Hong and others entered the city, they remained stationary, quietly waiting for Cao's army to attack.

For three days in a row, Cao Cao successively captured Pingtao and Daling counties, and opened warehouses in the county to release grain, and the matter of eradicating bullies was also reported.

Zhang Hong thinks that Cao Cao is buying people's hearts and minds, step by step. But Jinyang City now has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, even if Cao Cao attacks, they don't have to worry, they can completely repel Cao Cao.

Therefore, Tai Shici trained Wang Ling's newly recruited soldiers with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, which can be regarded as a temporary cramming.

Two days later, news came from the county magistrate of Qi County, saying that Cao Cao led a large army to attack Qi County, burning, killing and looting along the way, and doing all kinds of evil, and his purpose was to attack Shangdang.

After getting this report, Wang Hui immediately told Tai Shi Ci the news, and Tai Shi Ci found Zhang Hong and told Zhang Hong the news.

After Zhang Hong heard this, he said: "The former Cao Cao bought people's hearts, but now he is burning, killing and looting, what is he for?" ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "It must be Cao Cao who heard that we arrived in Jinyang City, and the defense is relatively tight, he only has 5,000 soldiers and horses, and seeing that he can't capture this city, he simply went all the way south and went straight to the party." Military advisor, the lord ordered me to come to the rescue of Zhang Yang, if Cao Cao went to the party, then Zhang Yang would be the enemy on his back. Let's hurry up and catch up. ”

Zhang Hong thought for a moment, but never spoke.

At this time, Wang Ling hurriedly ran over and said to Tai Shi Ci: "General Tai Shi, the scout of Daling County has returned, saying that Cao Cao did lead the army out of Daling County and went all the way south. ”

"Is the information reliable?" Zhang Hong asked.

"Absolutely reliable!" Wang Ling said.

Zhang Hong gently stroked the beard on his chin, and said slowly: "It seems that Cao Cao really gave up attacking Jinyang City......

"Strategist, let's send troops now, order all the soldiers and horses, and quickly rush to the party, maybe we can be in a hurry! If it's too late, I'm afraid that Zhang Yang will be defeated! Tai Shi Ci said.

Zhang Hong said: "That's all." ”

"I'm going to order all the soldiers and horses and go with General Taishi!" Wang Ling said suddenly.

Zhang Hong said: "Wang Changshi, you don't have to go, you still lead the soldiers in the city, just in case!" ”

"However, when Cao Cao passed by Qi County, he killed my villagers, I was really angry!" Wang Ling said indignantly.

Tai Shi Ci said: "Don't worry, I will definitely let Cao Cao pay it back!" ”

So, Tai Shi Ci, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zhang Hong immediately ordered the headquarters of the troops and horses, Tai Shi Ci, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun led 2,000 cavalry first, Zhang Hong led 3,000 infantry and then, under the farewell of Wang Hui, Wang Ling, Hao Zhao and others, left Jinyang City, all the way to the party.

As soon as Tai Shici's army left Jinyang City, the Cao army scouts who were hiding in the bushes outside Jinyang City immediately passed the news back.

At this moment, Cao Cao led 4,000 horse infantry troops, and 5,000 Hun cavalry led by Huchuquan, Qubei and others, all secretly hiding in the valley.

For three days, they were extremely vigilant, for fear that someone would find out that a large army was hiding here.

In the evening of the same day, Cao's scouts returned to the valley and informed Cao Cao of the news that Tai Shici had led the army to leave Jinyang City.

After Cao Cao heard this, his heart was overjoyed, and he immediately formulated a jihua.

Early the next morning, according to Cao Cao's arrangement, he led 300 Hun cavalry to attack the villages and towns outside Jinyang City.

Soon, someone informed Taishou Wang Hui of the news of the Hun cavalry's entry into the Kou. Wang Hui saw that the Huns only had 300 cavalry, so he asked Wang Ling to lead Hao Zhao and 5,000 newly recruited soldiers to attack those Hun cavalry directly.

He went to see Wang Ling and Hao Zhao leading their troops, first engaged them for a while, and then fled in defeat.

Wang Ling and Hao Zhao led the army to pursue forward, and after walking for about seven or eight miles, they suddenly heard the sound of a bang, and hundreds of arrows suddenly shot out from the woods on both sides of the road.

Wang Ling and Hao Zhao were caught off guard, and many of their subordinates were shot dead, and even Wang Ling himself was shot in the left arm by an arrow, bleeding profusely.

If it weren't for Hao Zhao blocking in front of Wang Ling and swinging his knife to drive away the arrows that were shooting, Wang Ling would definitely be shot into a hornet's nest, where would he still be killed.

A cluster of arrows fell, and another cluster of arrows flew quickly, not only that, but the Cao army and the Hun cavalry who were ambushed here in advance were all revealed, and they swarmed up, killing those frightened Jinyang soldiers to their heart's content...... (To be continued......)
