Chapter 87 Virtual and Real Practice Lao Cao Part 1

"I don't bother the Prime Minister to ask, Zhao Feng and Zhao Botao, this is polite!" Although he was a little surprised that Cao Qian suddenly wanted to set up with him, Zhao Feng still talked to him. It's a joke. Now I want to delay the time. Since the other party is so active, of course, it's up to him. As for the title of prime minister, although Liu Bei's group is quite dissatisfied with Cao Yanyue's claim to be the king, it still acquiesced to his position as prime minister. When talking about Cao Yan, when he is in a good mood, or when he makes fun of him, he is mostly called the prime minister. Of course, when I was in a bad mood, Cao Thief directly served me.

"General Zhao hasn't seen me for a long time. I remember that the last time I met the general, it should have been the time when I fought against Yuan Shu under Shouchun City!" To everyone's surprise, Cao Qian did not come straight to persuade him to surrender. Instead, he talked about old things, just like chatting with an old friend. Not to mention Zhao Feng's accident, even Jia Xu and Xu Chu were a little confused. Cao Hong and others in the distance couldn't hear what Cao Qian said, just as if Cao Qian was persuading him to surrender.

"That's right. In a blink of an eye, it's been more than ten years!" When Zhao Feng heard Cao Qian's words, he also sighed with emotion. Then I remembered that if it hadn't been for the birth of Yuan Laoer, he would have been the emperor at that solstice. Cao might have died in Peiguo City. How could he be so dangerous now? It's a pity. Is this the so-called life?

"Yes, it is said that when he marched into Xuzhou 20 years ago, he was defeated at the foot of Jiuli Mountain, which was the general's plan?" Cao Shen seemed to be very interested, but he chattered about the past.

"Exactly, but the Prime Minister is also a hero in the world. In this case, he still defeated Lv Bu!" Zhao Feng didn't know what was wrong with Cao Yan today, but he praised himself one after another. Uncomprehensible, Zhao Feng still answered along the way and flattered Lao Cao by the way.

"Haha, it's easy to say, it is said that the reason why Guan Yunchang was able to break through my county and drive my Cao clan away from the land of Yuzhou is also the general's credit?" Cao Jian continued to ask with a smile, and Jia Xu beside him was already confused. Such a shit seems to be talking to his opponent. He is simply flattering his opponent.

"That's right, but I don't like to kill, so I didn't kill one person. Prime Minister Cao doesn't need to thank me!" Zhao Feng smiled and said, Cao Qian didn't care when he heard the words, but continued, "It is said that Liu Xuande Dingjiangdong, Jingxiang, Pinghanzhong, Pingxichuan, all have the credit of the generals?"

"It's like this!" Zhao Feng didn't know what was wrong with Lao Cao today, but he just replied honestly. It's just that Cao Wei made such a summary that he realized that he had done a lot in the past 20 years. At least, it did cause a lot of trouble to Prime Minister Cao.

"Alas!" Cao Yan suddenly sighed, and finally said with a little melancholy, "How can Liu Xuande be? He was only a county guard back then. With the help of the general, he can now occupy half of the country. How lucky he is! If I were a general, I'm afraid I would have already occupied the world. How can I be so embarrassed now? After saying this, Cao Zhen shook his head repeatedly and was very helpless. The voice of this sentence was very loud, and Cao Hong and others all listened clearly. Suddenly, their faces turned red and embarrassed, but there was no irrefutable. In particular, the defeated generals such as Cao Hong and Cao Xiu have nothing to say.

"Tao Taoism is different and does not work together. Although the Prime Minister is a hero in the world, he kills creatures recklessly. Although Feng is only a martial artist, he does not want to be with a hero like the Prime Minister!" Zhao Feng was a little sad. Cao Wei was not angry when he heard this. He just smiled and said, "I know that the general is a loyal and righteous person, but now I still want to ask, is the general willing to surrender?" After a pause, Cao Wei raised his voice and said, "The general will return as he wishes. I promise that he is willing to play tomorrow's son, and show that the general is the king of different surnames and will be awarded the title of ten thousand marquis!"

"Oh!" As soon as he said this, everyone exclaimed. The king with different surnames and the marquis of thousands of households are all extremely noble honors. Zhao Feng was also shocked when he heard the words. Lao Cao's feelings were really bloody. In front of the soldiers of the two armies, they made such a promise. The king of different surnames, plus the Marquis of ten thousand households, is much better than himself now.

Zhao Feng is now only a herdsman in Yizhou, and his Shiyi Wuxiang County has been captured by Sima Yi, so he can only hang the false name of a marquis. Cao Shen's two titles, even under his own command, no one can have such an honor. Although there are elements of pulling in, Cao Qian really values himself.

After sighing for a while, Zhao Feng also smiled and said, "The Prime Minister's kindness, Fengxin received it. It's just that the man has something to do and doesn't do anything. Now I meet the Prime Minister on the battlefield. It's only a fight to the death. Don't blame the Prime Minister!"

"How stubborn the general is! How lucky Liu Xuande is to have the help of the general and others. As far as I know, the general is not up to Liu Bei, but this big-eared thief is really sorry for the general!" There is somethingdi dao in Cao's words.

Zhao Feng understood what Cao Yan meant. He said that Liu Bei had always had some suspicions about himself, so his career was not smooth most of the time. In fact, there is suspicion, but Zhao Feng has looked down on these things so far. It's rare for Lao Cao to be so kind to sow discord with himself.

After sighing, Zhao Feng still declined Cao Qian's kindness: "I'm grateful to the Prime Minister. Feng knows that his talent is shallow, and he is afraid that he is incompetent for a state herdsmen. How can he dare to be the king again? The so-called fame and wealth are passing by. If the world can be peaceful at this moment, the peak should be relieved and returned to the field, and he will not care about the world.

"Alas!" Cao Yan sighed when he heard the words, and finally said helplessly, "The general is a real hero. It's really sad to be the enemy of the general!" After a pause, Cao Yan suddenly smiled and said, "Although the general is a hero, don't you think there are too many things I said today?"

"Huh?" Zhao Feng was surprised and suddenly realized that Cao Yan was not just trying to persuade him to surrender today, but also wanted to get something out of his mouth. I was just looking to talk to him, but I seemed to be a little lack of confidence. As a result, I asked the other party to find out the truth.

"Attack the city!" Cao Qian, who figured out the background, turned the horse's head. If he didn't say a word to Zhao Feng, he ordered directly. Then the soldiers on both sides stepped aside, and a team of soldiers under the command of Cao Hong, carrying cloud ladders, arrow towers and other siege equipment came to Guancheng. It seems that Cao Shen has made up his mind to take down the city by hard power.

"Well, fortunately, I've been prepared. But Cao, it's really not easy for you to force me to make a unique move so quickly!" Zhao Feng said to himself. Looking at the approaching Cao Jun, Zhao Feng knew that the most tragic city defense had begun.

"Kill!" With the roar of the soldiers on both sides, a team of Qingzhou soldiers carried the ladder and braved the rain of arrows to kill the city. Zhao Feng knew that these Qingzhou soldiers were the elite of Cao Qian. As soon as he took action, he was a Qingzhou soldier. Cao Shen really looked up to himself.

"Pour the oil and light the fire!" Zhao Feng closed his eyes and ordered. Although Qingzhou soldiers are elite, Danyang elite soldiers are not vegetarian. If you attack and defend me, the hot oil of Danyang's elite soldiers fell down and rolled wood and stones to fight down. Even if the Qingzhou soldiers are brave, they are still flesh and blood after all. Under such a blow, they are also seriously killed and injured.

Although Pujin Pass is not a rare pass in the world, it is a pass after all. After Zhao Feng occupied this place, he also seized the time to strengthen it. The situation I am facing now is much better than that of Shentingling and Jieting in the past. It's almost a naked hand-to-hand fight.

In such a fierce siege battle, unless the combat effectiveness of the defenders is too poor, the proportion of casualties between the attack and defense sides is generally quite different. Nowadays, Zhao Feng's 5,000 Danyang elite soldiers are rare elite divisions in the world. Although the Qingzhou soldiers are brave, they are still a little worse than the Danyang soldiers. Therefore, since the battle, the casualty ratio is basically about 1:5. Of course, Zhao Feng knows that with the reduction of his military strength and the decline of the strength of the city, it is difficult to maintain such a casualty ratio.

What's more, even if it's 1:5, Cao Hen is enough to drag himself down. Looking at the increasingly fierce siege, Zhao Feng knew that it was time for him to use a unique trick to scare Cao Yan.

"The Chinese army beats the drum and rushes with me!" Zhao Feng looked at the increasingly tragic siege and suddenly ordered. Then more than ten cowhide drums on Guancheng were beaten, and the horn was also blown. Then the sound of killing on the official roads on both sides of Guancheng shocked the sky, and the torch lit up. The two army horses came from the north and south respectively, and the target was Cao Qian in front of the customs.

"What's going on?" Cao Qian was stunned when he saw this. Could it be that Zhao Feng could not be ambushed, but he showed weakness again and again. Obviously, there should be no manpower! Although it is not clear how many people have come in the dark, Cao has been on the battlefield for a long time. Just by listening to the shout of killing, he knows that any side will not be lower than ten thousand people.

"Quickly, withdraw to Hedong, and withdraw 20 miles with me!" Cao Zhen immediately ordered in a hurry. He I'm just a few thousand people in Hexi. If the other party is surrounded by a cut-off road, it won't be good. The Qingzhou soldiers who were attacking the city also hurriedly retreated when they heard the military order. At this moment, the door suddenly opened and a team of soldiers came. Under the attack of the three-way people, Cao Jun was caught off guard.

"Protect the king and withdraw!" Xu Chu's urn said angrily that although Cao's army was elite, he didn't know how many enemy troops came in the night, and he couldn't help but be in a hurry. In addition, the pontoon bridge was not very wide, and everyone rushed to cross the river and fled back to the east of the river. Many soldiers fell into the water and died along the way.

"Damn it, where did Zhao Botao's ambush come from?" After Cao Shen fled back to Hedong and led the army to retreat 20 miles to the village, he also asked with some puzzlement. But no one can answer this question for the time being. For a long time, Cheng Yu sighed, "This man showed weakness again and again, but he didn't expect that he had already ambushed the soldiers and horses. Only when we were waiting for the siege of the city, he accidentally killed him. If it hadn't been for the Lord's vigilance and the command of the generals, we would have died in the west of the river today!" At this time, the casualties were also counted. The soldiers attacked the city and crossed the river, killing and injuring more than 5,000 people. Everyone heard the words, but they were silent. It is also shameless for everyone to fight a siege like this. Of course, when Cao Yan knew that Zhao Feng's so-called ambush was like this, he almost vomited blood on the spot.

It was night, and Cao Wei withdrew his troops and returned to Hedong Xiazhai. At this time, Zhang Ren's emergency flying pigeon transmission also arrived in Xuchang. Liu Bei was shocked after watching it and hurriedly called everyone to discuss the matter overnight.
