Chapter 058 [Wan Fuxiong]
After the garden talk, only half an hour later, Yuan Shao urgently convened a cadre of civil ministers and military generals to discuss the side hall.
That night, all the people who came to the inner hall to discuss the matter were Yuan Shao's close confidants.
At the meeting, there is no way to know what Yuan Shao said to his subordinate Wenwu. I only knew that after the deliberations were over, everyone left in a hurry, and they didn't see the previous situation of walking together in three or five years.
The next day, there was silence in the Yecheng Palace, and even the laughter and crying of children could not be heard.
All day, the huge palace was silent. There is neither the back and forth of the maids and guards, nor the figure of Jizhou civil and military entering and leaving the palace gate, and the palace is extremely silent and terrifying.
At the same time, the siege was still going on outside the city. Cao's army, which was almost dead and wounded, still went forward to attack the south gate one after another, as if he would not give up until the remaining 8,000 soldiers and horses were exhausted. After attacking the city one day, Cao's army lost 2,000 soldiers again, and there were still 6,000 soldiers and horses left. This is also the only remaining 6,000 soldiers of the 50,000 Cao army after 20 days of siege.
In the early morning of the third day, the south gate of Yecheng, which had not been opened for two years, suddenly opened, and Yuan Shao's army, which had been cowering in the city, finally went out of the city to meet the battle.
This is the scene that Li Li saw when he led his army to the south gate after hearing the news.
It was precisely this sudden scene that aroused Li Li's vigilance and made him feel faintly uneasy, and a sense of crisis that he had not felt for a long time came to his heart, and it was fleeting, making him feel inexplicable palpitations.
This palpitation prompted Li Li to make up his mind to get rid of Cao Cao as soon as possible, but now that Cao Cao was leading the remnants to fight against Yuan Junchengxia, it was obviously not a good time to make a move. After all. In full view of everyone, how can such an act convince the people of the world to openly poison an ally who has been fighting bloodily for more than 20 days? Unpopular. How do you win the world?
Therefore, although Li Li has already murdered Cao Cao, he can't be in a hurry, and he still needs to wait for the opportunity to move and try it slowly.
Li Li has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and has experienced countless open and secret battles, and the truth that if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan in your heart. It was because he killed Cao Cao. But on the surface, it is quiet, as if it is the same, so that people can't see any abnormality at all.
watched Cao Cao lead the tiger and leopard to ride to the front of the south gate. After Li Li and Guo Jia whispered to each other, they immediately summoned Zhou Yu to their side and asked in a low voice about the garrison of the camp on the north bank.
"My lord, the camp on the north bank was built by General Cao Ren according to the scale of 200,000 soldiers and horses. The camp is quite large. The tents were very numerous and very dense. At present, the lord led the army to camp on the south bank of the Zhanghe River, so that more than half of the camp tents on the north bank were temporarily idle, and the camp was very empty. After the last general led the army into the North Camp, General Cao Ren gave up all the tents of the East Camp and the Central Army Camp to our army to station, and the soldiers and horses under his tent were stationed in the West Camp and were responsible for the daily chores of the whole battalion. At present, all the tents of the Chinese army are vacant, leaving the army led by the lord to station. Zhou Yu reported truthfully.
After Li Li heard this. It was not surprising at all, because Cao Ren was Cao Cao's most relied on confidant general. He is also the commander of the three armies of the Cao army. In a recent period of close observation, Li Li found that Cao Cao seemed to be bold and magnificent, but in fact he was meticulous and extremely cautious, and he had to personally inquire about every military affairs in the army, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was cautious. Since then, Cao Ren, who has been cultivated by him, must be extraordinary, and there will definitely not be the slightest mistake in arranging the camp of the tun army.
Everything is so reasonable, everything is orderly and logical. It was precisely because Cao Cao thought of almost everything, prepared in advance, and did everything thoroughly, that Li Li felt abnormal, and faintly felt a strange and strange aura enveloping the whole army. However, this inexplicable feeling is very strange, groundless, clueless, and seems to come out of thin air, inexplicably, and more like an inexplicable illusion.
However, Li Li firmly believes that this premonition is by no means groundless, mediocre people disturb themselves, and there must be a huge crisis hidden under this seemingly normal and clear situation. This is his instinctive premonition that he has been fighting for many years, which is also known as the sixth sense. This feeling does not appear lightly, but once it appears, it means that danger is coming, the crisis is around, and it directly endangers his life.
Prior to this, this kind of mysterious and mysterious premonition had appeared twice, both during his travels to the Central Plains and Jiangnan. The first time he appeared was when he was staying at Wuji Zhen's house, and the crisis came so quickly that it was almost a premonition one moment ago, and he was in danger the next. The second time he appeared when he stayed in Bufu, Shu County, that time he was alert in advance, but he didn't take it to heart, which resulted in the tragedy of the Bufu family, and if he was not water-based, he almost died in the torrent and his body sank in the Yangtze River.
This time, the premonition of crisis reappeared, and it appeared very early, at least for now, Li Li has not found any potential threat. Or that the crisis was around him, but he didn't see a hint of the impending crisis, and he had no clue. However, this sense of crisis without any sign is precisely the most worrying, and with Li Li's previous experience, he clearly knows that the earlier the premonition appears, the greater the scope of its involvement, and the more severe the consequences will be, and even ?????? Disastrous.
"What's the problem? Cao Cao, there are only more than 10,000 people, why be afraid? Yuan Shaomo, a person who has been sick for a long time, is just a trapped beast, even if he is dying and fighting back, he can't set off big waves! In the midst of his thoughts, Li Li repeatedly thought about the situation in front of him and the enemy he was facing, but he could never catch the trace of the mysterious premonition from where.
????????????????????????
In front of the South Gate. Cao Cao led the army back to his own military formation, and the main general Cao Ren led the generals to meet him as soon as possible. The generals looked quite excited, with a look of great joy, as if Cao Cao had just turned around from the ghost gate, and now he finally came back safely.
"You don't need to be polite." Seeing the surprised and happy expressions of Cao Ren, Cao Zhen, Le Jin and others, Cao Cao was quite pleased, and immediately raised his hand to signal to get up.
As he spoke, Cao Cao turned his head to look at the hill behind him, which was three miles away from the south gate, and the figure of Li Lilema could be vaguely seen. Seeing that Li Li did not lead the army to follow, Cao Cao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, a treacherous smile appeared on his face, and when he turned around, his eyes showed a cold murderous intent.
"You must not lose your posture in public, you must know that we are not safe at the moment, we are still in the tiger's den in Longtan, we need to be extra cautious in our words and deeds, and do not show the slightest flaw, so as not to fall short!" Cao Cao reminded Cao Ren and other cronies again with a solemn expression, his tone was extremely resolute, with a faint sense of slaughter.
"No!" Cao Ren, Cao Zhen, Le Jin and others received the order in unison, but they didn't say a word, for fear that there would be extraneous branches and ruin the major affairs of the lord Cao Cao, so that tens of thousands of soldiers who died in the city in the previous battle died innocently in vain.
Cao Cao bowed his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "The military order three days ago must have been known, and today's Yuan army went out of the city to meet the battle, which means that the city has been prepared, whether it can be achieved in one fell swoop tonight." Until then, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and there must be no mistakes. If the shape is needed, you must also lead the soldiers to attack the city bravely at any cost. ”
Cao Ren heard this, and said respectfully: "Don't worry, the last general has already put his life and death aside, and if he doesn't succeed this time, he will become benevolent." At present, there are only 6,000 soldiers left in our army's 50,000 elite infantry troops, and these surviving soldiers are all carefully selected tiger warriors in the 50,000 army, and they are all middle and low-level generals above the team rate. Moreover, they are skilled in bows and horses, and as long as they are equipped with war horses, they are a war cavalry battalion whose combat power is not inferior to that of tigers and leopards. ”
Cao Cao smiled and bowed: "That's very good." Next?????? Eh, Zilian has succeeded, Zihe is out of the game! In the middle of a pause, Cao Cao saw Cao Hong and Lu Kuang, who were fighting in front of the battle, passing by, and at the moment when the two horses were wrong, the two met side by side, and Lu Kuang quickly stuffed a stack of brocade silk into Cao Hong's hand. So Cao Cao's voice stopped suddenly, and immediately ordered Cao Chun to go out to respond, replacing Cao Hong to face Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang brothers.
"Da Da Da!"
Cao Chun did not hesitate for a moment after hearing the sound, and instantly jumped out of the battle, the horse's hooves were fast, and it was coming in the blink of an eye.
"Brother and retreat, wait for a certain Cao Chun to come and kill the enemy general!" In the midst of the loud cheers, Cao Chun galloped on his prancing horse and shook back Lu Xiang, who was fighting fiercely with Cao Hong, with a volley. Cao Hong took advantage of this opportunity to quickly retreat and return to his own position without looking back.
"General Lu, don't be surprised, I'll come to help you!"
"The thief will be rampant, let him die!"
At this moment, two loud shouts rang out in succession in the Yuan army formation under the city gate. Immediately, Dan saw three Yuan generals fighting horses out of battle, brandishing war knives, and rushing towards Cao Chun like a gallop.
When the two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang heard this, they turned around, but saw that it was Ma Yan, Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan who were fighting on horseback. For a moment, the two brothers glanced at each other, and then rode their horses to confront Cao Chun again. During the fight, Lu Kuang gave Cao Chun a meaningful look, and Cao Chun nodded lightly knowingly. Immediately, the three of them fought together, and the fight was so indistinguishable that the three of Ma Yan, who rushed over on horseback, couldn't intervene, and the impact that had been accumulated for a long time was interrupted by the Lu brothers, which was equivalent to a punch in the air, which was really uncomfortable!
However, just as Ma Yan, Jiao Touch, and Zhang Nan were greatly discouraged, Cao Chun suddenly exerted his strength, waved his sword to shake back the Lu brothers, and suddenly rushed into the middle of Ma Yan and the three with lightning speed.
Suddenly, but seeing Cao Chun jumping into the air, his body spinning in the air, the war knife in his hand followed him like a shadow, and the cold light flashed in front of Ma Yan, Jiao Touch, and Zhang Nan like a flash of shock.
"Ahh In the terrible screams, but seeing Ma Yan, who was still intact a second ago, his body was separated at this moment, and his big head flew into the sky; Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan covered their chests one after another, screaming in shock, and they didn't want to think about it, so they immediately hit their horses and fled. At this time, Cao Chunzheng wanted to chase and kill on horseback, but was stopped by Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang's brothers, so that Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan, who were seriously injured, escaped and fled back to their own camp in a panic.
