Chapter 13 Variables and Handwriting
Guo Jia's words are very reasonable.
In advance, Guo Jia had already concluded that Kong Rong and Tian Kai would come to the rescue of Tao Qian, and accordingly, he also thought of countermeasures.
Only need to confront each other, and after Xuzhou is broken, Kong Tian and the others will continue to be enemies of Cao Cao for the sake of Tao Qian, who is already dead.
When Cao Cao heard this, he also figured out this logic, he changed the password, and Xiahoudun and Yu Ban took the order and left.
Slowly, Cao Cao relaxed again - because Tao Qian's handsome banner on the city was pulled out by Dian Wei, seeing that half of the Xuzhou city had been captured, Cao Cao only felt that the victory was in his hands!
However, Wang Wei was not as optimistic as Cao Cao.
Because he understands that what he is showing up now is just an appetize......
Sure enough, without waiting for three or five minutes, Cao Cao's camp suddenly caught fire, and the fire soared into the sky, and the black smoke spread its teeth and claws like a soaring dragon.
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and before he could say anything, he heard that Tanma came to report again!
"Report! Lord, our army was attacked by thieves, and most of the grain and grass were burned! ”
Hearing such bad news, Cao Cao's face darkened, fortunately, Cao Cao's psychological quality was definitely the first in the world, he quickly cleared his thoughts and asked quickly.
"Who's coming? Isn't it Eryuan's breach of contract, or is it the generation of Gongsun Zan and Liu Biao? ”
"Neither! It was Liu Bei, the commander of Pingyuan County, and his second brother Guan Yu and third brother Zhang Fei...... And the white horse silver gun Zhao Zilong! ”
As soon as the horse finished speaking, the sound of shouting and killing and the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, but a rude roar like thunder was heard from the side.
"I Yanren Zhang Yide is here, and the Cao thief is rampant!"
"Cao Gong, Liu Bei is courteous, and I hope that Cao Gong will temporarily stop fighting!"
Zhang Fei was still the same reckless man, and Liu Bei was still humble and benevolent, but before Cao Cao could figure out how to deal with them, he saw that a thousand light horsemen had arrived at the side gate, a gate that had not yet been captured.
The fierce Zhang Fei on the horse jumped onto the city with a leap, and roared towards Dian Wei with a Zhangba snake spear!
Just listen to the sound of "ding".
A pair of iron halberds collided with snake spears, and the two fierce generals did not retreat, and they were deadlocked.
Cao Cao's face was distorted by anger at that time......
In terms of foot combat, Zhang Fei will not be Dian Wei's opponent, but I can't help but consider one point, Dian Wei has been fighting for a long time, Zhang Fei has newly entered the battle, plus the grain and grass in the rear have been burned, and there are also two tiger generals in Guan Yu Zhao Yun eyeing behind him......
After watching it for about ten minutes, Cao Cao and even Wang Wei understood a little.
This city should not be able to be captured today.
Guo Jia on the side interjected at the right time.
"Lord, please withdraw the army, it will change later."
Wang Wei also sighed.
"My lord, please withdraw your troops."
"Damn! Pass on our military order, and the whole army will withdraw to the camp! ”
……
The first time he attacked the city, seeing that the good situation was destroyed, no one on Cao Cao's side was naturally happy.
And back in the camp, Cao Cao Wang Wei's face suddenly darkened.
Just now, Cao Cao pulled out his camp to attack Xuzhou, but the base camp in the rear was not without defenders - on the contrary, Cao Cao left 30,000 defenders here......
But the fucking thing is that Guan Yu Zhao Yun took 4,000 iron horsemen, killed these 30,000 people, and then set fire to some of the grain and grass.
The importance of grain and grass is self-evident......
After the counting, Cao Cao, Wang Wei and others got the following news in the big tent of the Chinese army.
The surplus grain and grass can only be used by the army for ten days.
According to common sense, ten days should be enough for Cao Cao's side to break through Xuzhou, but unfortunately, with the arrival of Kong Rongtian Kai and others, it was slightly planned to make up for the lack of troops on Tao Qian's side, and the all-star military general lineup under Liu Bei also smoothed out the gap between the two military generals.
As the saying goes, disasters don't go alone......
Before Cao Cao could think of any countermeasures, Tanma, who had caused countless people a headache, came to report again.
"Lord, Xun Yu came to report that in the southern suburbs of Yanzhou, traces of Lu Bu's people and horses were found, and there were about 30,000 people ......"
All right......
Although these are normal plot developments, Wang Wei was indeed quite helpless by this successive news - the difficulty of this mission lies in this, Cao Cao raised troops to attack Xuzhou, which was originally just a small matter, but the actions of Lu Bu, Liu Bei and others turned this action upside down.
And Wang Wei's problem is here - to break through Xuzhou within two months, and the mission fails: obliteration!
He can't fight if he doesn't fight!
But Cao Cao is not unable to fight! Which is more important, expanding the territory or his hometown, Cao Cao is very pressing......
At this moment, Cao Cao groaned for a short time, and then said aloud.
"Lu Bu is just a brave and unscrupulous person, don't worry, the plan to destroy Xuzhou cannot be changed for the time being, the generals will listen to the order, tomorrow we will go all out to break Xuzhou City!"
"No!"
The generals took the order and left, preparing for tomorrow's battle, but Wang Wei, Guo Jiadian, and Wei stayed in Cao Cao's Chinese army tent, and after a short silence, Guo Jia spoke.
"My lord, your majesty wants to take the liberty of asking, how many people and horses did you leave in Yanzhou?"
"The garrison is only 30,000, with Cao Ren as the general and staying in Yanzhou City, Xun Yu Chengyu as the army, stationed in Fanxian, Dong'e, and Juancheng counties. Fengxiao, I know what you want to say, Cao Ren and the others have a total strength of only 30,000, and they are scattered all over the place, at this moment Lu Bu appeared in Yanzhou, which is indeed a big threat to our rear, however, not taking Xuzhou this time is really a waste of a great opportunity! ”
In fact, Cao Cao is also struggling - Lu Bu's movements are fatal and even fatal, and Xuzhou's attraction is also extremely strong.
On this issue, Wang Wei tried his best to persuade Cao Cao to take Xuzhou first - it was at stake for his life.
However, Guo Jia, in line with the duty of a minister, advised Cao Cao to be prepared for not being able to take Xuzhou.
This public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, which made Cao Cao not entangled.
It wasn't until about an hour later that Tanma came again.
"Report, lord, Pingyuan County Order Liu Bei's handwriting!"
"Bring it on!"
His own subordinates handed Cao Cao a handbook, and Cao Cao looked at it for a short time, then stroked his beard and smiled.
"Wang Wei, Guo Jia, this is Liu Bei's letter to me, you two dare to guess, what did Liu Bei say to me?"
Wang Wei and Guo Jia glanced at each other, and Wang Wei said with a smile.
"The minister guesses, then Liu Bei's letter, at the beginning, must be to flatter the lord, and then make amends for Tao Qian, and finally, he will persuade the lord to withdraw from the army!"
As soon as Wang Wei said this, Guo Jia had already taken the handwritten book from Cao Cao's hand and read it aloud.
"Brother Mengde is like meeting, Xuande Baibai, Chang'an will be unforgettable, Brother Tai's Wen Taowu is as sunny as Kunlun, Brother Tai's heart is as ambitious as the river and the sea are rushing, and he is admired in the next."
"Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian, is really a generous and benevolent king, his subordinates can not be attributed to their master, now the father of the brother has passed away, such as the water can not be returned, Tao Qian is ashamed and landless, willing to pour his wealth, compensate the brother, in order to atone for his sins."
"Liu Bei has the courage to speak, looking forward to the withdrawal of Brother Tai and the peace, and turning the war into a jade silk, if this can be done, not only the people of Xuzhou will feel the great kindness of Brother Tai, but the people of the world will also praise Brother Tai's clear righteousness, otherwise the war will start, and the jade will be burned!"
"Liu Bei is not talented, he is willing to live and die with Tao Qian!"
