Chapter 6 First Plan
"Cao Bing withdrew?" The people in the hall were stunned when they heard this, and then turned their heads to look at Zhao Feng. After all, he claimed yesterday that he could withdraw Cao Bing in three days. Now it's only one day, and Cao Bing has retreated. Everyone thinks that Zhao Feng is a little too magical. Especially Cao Bao, his expression is particularly wonderful.
Zhao Feng didn't care about himself, and the old god could still ask, "Where did you withdraw?" The little colonel took a look at Tao Qian. After getting the approval of the assassin, he replied, "Cao's army retreated more than 30 miles, and even the bodies left by the siege in the city in the afternoon were not brought back."
"Huh?" Now everyone doesn't understand. It is common sense to collect corpses on the battlefield, because once the corpses are not collected, it is easy to cause a plague. Unexpectedly, Cao Bian retreated in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to collect the body. Brother, it seems that Cao Yan was tired of military strength, or was attacked in the rear of Yanzhou. He only retreated 30 miles. I estimate that he will withdraw his whole army tomorrow at the latest. Guan Yu thought about the first one, and the rest of the people nodded in agreement.
"In that case, brother, why don't we sneak up at night? You can't let this old boy leave so easily. Zhang Fei immediately put forward his opinion. Liu Bei was also moved when he heard this. Looking at the generals around him, almost all of them were rubbing their hands. Only Zhao Feng frowned and seemed to have other concerns.
"Botao, don't you agree?" Liu Bei couldn't help asking when he saw Zhao Feng's solemn face. Now Liu Bei may not have realized it himself. Most of the time, he can't help trusting Zhao Feng. This trust is just like his trust in Zhuge Liang in history. It is a kind of trust for the wise.
"Lord, I'm afraid Cao Shen's trip is fraudulent." Zhao Feng sorted out his thoughts a little and said slowly. Where is the fraud?" Liu Bei asked in a hurry.
"First, Cao Shen is likely to deliberately not collect the body, just to make us think that his military strength is exhausted. After all, there are only thousands of corpses in the city. As long as hundreds of sergeants are sent, they can be cleaned up. There is no reason why Cao can't even send such a few people. Cao has done it this time, but it's a little too much. Zhao Feng said first.
"It makes sense." Liu Bei thought for a moment and understood the key, and then asked, "In the opinion of Yi Botao, is Cao Qian a fake retreat?"
"It doesn't matter whether the retreat is true or not, but the general guesses that Cao Yan is likely to see an increase in the number of defenders in our city, and it is unlikely to win another forced attack. Therefore, it is necessary to design to lead us out of the city to steal the camp, so that he can take the opportunity to ambush and destroy us, and at the same time, he will raid the empty Xuzhou with soldiers." Zhao Feng speculated.
"Papa!" A rhythmic applause came. Everyone followed the sound, but didn't take Chen Deng's high-five and shouted: "General Zhao really expected the enemy's opportunity, and Yuan Long admired it." Everyone agreed with Zhao Feng's view when they saw Chen Deng. Everyone was quite convinced of the first wise man in Xuzhou, and they couldn't help but look up on Zhao Feng.
"Where, where." Zhao Feng was also a little proud, but he was modest. At this moment, a harsh voice came: " In this case, I don't know what the strategy of Lieutenant Zhao has to break the enemy. Do we sit in Xuzhou City as a shrinking turtle? &Quot;
Shit! Zhao Feng has been used to being called a general these days, and now he can't help but feel a little unhappy to be called a lieutenant. It was Cao Bao who turned his head and spoke. Zhao Feng was unhappy, but he still smiled and said, "What's the difficulty? Since Cao Yan has set up this trick to lure the enemy, we can make a plan and be caught off guard."
"What's Bo Tao's plan?" Liu Bei was also anxious when he heard this, and even Tao Qian and others looked forward to it. Zhao Feng did not sell anything, but said directly, "Cao's camp must be empty tonight. Our army can raid the enemy's camp with thousands of light horses, making Cao's army mistakenly think that we have been tricked. At the same time, the army was ambushed on both sides of Jiuli Mountain, the only way for Cao's army to raid Xuzhou City. When the soldiers of Cao's army arrived, they would set fire together. At present, it is a cool autumn, and many plants have withered. If we attack with fire first and then intercept them in the chaos, we will be able to defeat the enemy.
"It's really a wonderful plan!" It was none other than Tao Qian who spoke this time. Since the governor also thinks that this plan is very good, it should not be too late. Let's act as soon as possible. Liu Bei was not a drag man. He hurriedly said, "Who is willing to lead a light horse to raid Cao's camp?"
"The last general is willing to go!" Zhao Yun came out of the line. Liu Bei also agreed. In terms of the ability to lead the cavalry, Zhao Yun, who was born in the white horse, did not dare to boast. Even Guan Yu, who had always been proud, and Zhang Fei, who was competitive, did not dare to boast.
"Zilong, be careful here, and kill him as soon as he is hit. Cao's army aims to raid Xuzhou City. The battalion will not be heavily guarded, and it should not be difficult to get out. Zhao Feng couldn't help adding a sentence. In fact, he is also quite worried now. Although he can guess the truth, it will not be so easy to implement it. In case Zhao Yun suffers any damage due to his butterfly effect, I'm afraid he will blame himself for the rest of his life.
"Thank you, Bo Tao, for your suggestion. Cloud self-reflection." Zhao Yun also knew that Zhao Feng was kind-hearted and replied with a smile.
"Zilong went to steal camp, and the third brother and I ambushed on the left side of Jiuli Mountain, and Yun Changzhongfu and Bo Tao led the army to ambush on the right side. The sergeant was ordered to carry more flammable things with fire, nitrophur, and wait for the Cao army brigade to kill them. They let go of the front army first, and then burn the rear army. Liu Bei continued to order. I'll wait to understand!" Zhao Feng, Zhang Fei and others are all holding fists to take orders.
At this moment, Mi Fang actually came out of the line and said, "Fang is not talented. I'm willing to follow you to ambush." The second brother." Mi Zhu was also a little surprised that his younger brother took the initiative to invite him, but after thinking about it, he just smiled and stopped talking.
"General Zifang is willing to go, so let's ambush together." Liu Bei was just a little stunned and returned to normal. At present, the task arrangement has been decided, leaving Cao Bao, Chen Deng and other Xuzhou officials to guard the city, and the rest of the people are prepared to leave the city separately according to the arrangement.
"Can it work?" Zhao Feng looked at Guan Yu and Guan Hai beside him. At this time, they were rushing to Jiuli Mountain to ambush, but Zhao Yun had already led the cavalry to kill Cao's camp. Let's risk it!" Zhao Feng's surname is full of heart. Since ancient times, there has been no way to win. Let's bet on this.
In fact, although Zhao Feng's expectation is not complete, it is not far away. Since the defeat in the morning, Cao Wei returned to the camp to discuss countermeasures with the counselors. At present, there are no less than 50,000 horses in Xuzhou City. The city walls are strong and the food is sufficient, and the 150,000 troops brought by Cao Qian's battle have consumed more than 20,000 yuan in the previous siege. Zhao Feng and Guan Hai lost more than 10,000 yuan during the robbery camp, and now there are only more than 100,000 left. With 100,000 troops, attacking the city guarded by no less than 50,000 troops, this battle is very difficult to fight in the era of cold weapons. So after thinking about it, Cao Qian made a plan to lead the snake out of the cave.
"Li Dian Le Jin, when you saw the camp fire, you immediately led the headquarters to fight against it. The rest of the departments, follow me to get Xuzhou City. Cao Wei was a little enthusiastic, as if Xuzhou City was at his fingertips. The generals also agreed in unison, and only Guo Jia frowned slightly.
"What are your worries about filial piety?" Seeing Guo Jia's expression, Cao Qian quickly asked, but he believed that Guo Jia's vision was better than that of believing in himself. Lord, there is still Chen Yuanlong in Xuzhou City. This man is resourceful and may not be in this plan. Guo Jia was a little worried.
"I'm worried about filial piety. Although Chen Yuanlong has wisdom, he has always been trying to protect himself. Even if he can see through it, at best, he just persuaded Liu Bei and Tao Qian not to send troops, so I was just idle at most. Cao said with a smile. In fact, Cao Hen is also a little helpless. It has been several months to besiege Xuzhou City. Now the army's food is not enough. If he doesn't want to make a quick decision, he will really be in a dilemma.
"I hope so." Guo Jia sighed, but the trace of worry in his heart was always lingering. Cao Jian didn't care about anything else and led the generals to prepare separately.
This day is the first day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar. There is no moon and few stars. Cao Jian led his army to the Tushan Mountain behind the camp for the time being, but his eyes stared at his empty camp.
"Your lord, the right sentry sentry horse to report that there is a large army in Xuzhou City!" Cao Hong hurried to Cao Qian's side and said. Well, Liu Bei was really tricked, and my thousands of corpses cheated him. Cao Jian stroked his palm and laughed, and then looked at Cao Hong beside him. He was in a good mood. He felt that it was necessary to take the opportunity to give good advice to this somewhat impatient clan general, so he followed the good guidance and said, "Zilian knows why Liu Bei was tricked this time?"
"He can't use soldiers?" Cao Hong took it for granted, but he soon found that this reason did not make sense, and Liu Bei was not a chick who had never fought a war.
"No, it's precisely because he has been in the battlefield for a long time and knows how to use soldiers. I left the thousands of corpses behind, and Liu Bei took it with common sense and mistakenly thought that our army was powerless, so he acted rashly. Zilian, as a general, should not only know the art of war, but also be good at detecting clues. We also need to learn how to figure out the enemy's mind, expect the enemy's opportunity, guard against arrogance and impatience, so as to restrain the enemy and win. Cao said proudly.
"The Lord is wise, and Hong has been taught!" Cao Hong looked admiring, and the generals of Cao's army around him were full of admiration.
"The enemy is ambushed!" At this time, there was a fire in Cao's camp, and the sharp-eyed soldiers had already noticed it. Li Dian Lejin, and others led the department to act according to the plan. The rest of the generals, follow me to get Xuzhou. Cao Yan was in high spirits, and then led the army to kill down the slope and along the road in front of Jiuli Mountain to the seemingly defenseless Xuzhou City.
"Forward at full speed!" Cao Qian saw that the former army had crossed the mountain road, and Xuzhou City had seen it from afar. He couldn't wait to fly there in an instant. However, at this moment, there was a sudden shout of killing on Jiuli Mountain, which had been silent on both sides. Then countless torch rockets were fired from the mountains on both sides, igniting the withered grass on the roadside. Suddenly, Cao's army fell into a sea of fire!
