Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 581

Lao Cao first comforted everyone with his big words, and then asked about the military situation in detail.

However, Sun An and the others knew very little, they only knew that the Song army on the West Road was defeated, as to how they lost, how they succeeded, and what the current situation is, they still don't know.

On the side of Guizhou, they only knew that there were no less than soldiers in the siege, but they didn't know how many Jin soldiers, how many Liao soldiers, or who was the commander.

Cao Cao sighed: "I don't know the true and false, but this battle is difficult to fight. The only strategy for now is to break the siege of Guizhou first, and then find out his false and true, so that we can take it easy."

So they sent Ma Ling and Shi Qian, pretending to be wandering Taoist priests and Taoist boys, to go to Yingzhou quietly to find out the whole story of the previous battle.

He also wrote a letter in person to make Jiao Ting put the meat in a safe place, and send it to Huarong in Ruzhou over the mountains and ridges.

On the other hand, he appointed six generals, Shi Wengong, Du Po, Sun An, Qin Ming, Zhu Dian, and Huang Xin, and raised troops to meet Guan Sheng.

The rest of the generals, Xuan Zan, Hao Siwen, Shi Bao, and Li Tianrun, had gone out with Guan Sheng earlier, and four generals Xu Ning, Luan Tingyu, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng followed Hua Rong.

Hu Sanniang saw that he had left for many days, and when he came back, he was about to leave again. She said anxiously: "Marshal, the last general invites you to fight! I would like to go with you to save people."

How could Cao Cao take her with him?He resolutely said: "No! Whether Guizhou and Ruzhou can be preserved now is still uncertain. This Wushengguan is related to our wealth and life. If there is no general guarding it, how can I rest assured?"

Hu Sanniang opened her mouth wide in surprise: "My slave, the last general is the one... the general who makes you feel at ease?"

Cao Cao said righteously: "Exactly!"

The rest who were not selected by Cao Cao obviously had to stay behind the gate, Hu Sanniang took a quick look——

Gongsun Sheng, a Taoist priest, Bao Xu, Xiang Chong, Li Dang, Cao Zheng, the four major foot soldiers, Kleiner, Li Zi, the generation of women...

Sure enough, at this moment, my brother has only me, "Yizhangqing", to rely on!
Turning around this thought, Hu Sanniang's eyes brightened, she solemnly clasped her fists and said, "Since the Marshal entrusts the general with great things, how dare you disobey his orders? Marshal don't worry, the last general has three inches of strength, don't let an enemy soldier enter this pass!"

Seeing his wife's heroic and charming appearance, Lao Cao twitched his index finger for a moment, forced himself to suppress his emotions, and squinted and said: "Excellent! General Hu, if you make this achievement, I will definitely please you!"

He spoke quickly and in a low voice, except for Hu Sanniang, no one else could tell the difference.

Hu Sanniang's pretty face flushed: "Oh, you..." Lao Cao laughed loudly, turned around and walked out. He was also full of worries at first, but now he only felt full of pride.

It is less than a hundred miles away from Wushengguan to Guizhou.

Lao Cao led his troops out to the west of the Taihang, and after a few tens of miles, he summoned six generals: "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. In the current situation, I don't know the enemy, but the other misunderstands me. This is a chance of victory, and we must not ignore it."

The six generals couldn't understand it: "Brother, why did he get it wrong?"

Cao Cao said: "I took Juyong's troops, but there were more than ten thousand. Shi Bao registered his own name in Guanzhong, and Juyong escaped many Liao soldiers. The enemy must have known this information."

He also said: "Last year when I was an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin, I met Yelu Dashi for the first time. When I heard people calling me by my name, I knew I was Wu Mengde from Shandong. All the famous people in neighboring countries in the world have recorded it! I am known by the people of Liao, and Shi Baotang is the king of Mingjiao, and there is no reason why I don’t know it, so I must regard us as the remnants of the Song Dynasty and gather Yanyun for trouble.”

Zhu Ting interjected: "Brother, what you mean is that the enemy army didn't know that my brother had newly gained flat battalions, and thought I couldn't wait for the bandits, so it's called 'wrong knowledge'?"

Cao Cao said with a smile: "That's right, Guan Sheng and Hua Rong each have 5000 troops. If I were the enemy's chief general, I would have to do the math. If these 1 people are killed, only a few thousand people will be left at Wusheng Pass. Annihilate them, take the military victory lightly, and Youzhou will be within sight."

When the six generals heard this, they all understood. To Jin people, what are Guizhou and Ruzhou?Wu Shengguan is the key.

Sun An shouted: "That's it. If I were to be the general, I would also have the same idea. To take down Wushengguan, Gui and Confucianism are no more than softshells."

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Because of this, although I don't know the details of the enemy, I will win if it is difficult, but since I know what the enemy wants, I can take advantage of the opportunity."

The six generals were convinced: "Brother said it so clearly, we will fight this battle."

Du Po was eager to try, stopped the crowd, and rushed to say: "Don't wait, let me say, brother, since he thinks there are only 5000 people in my pass, then we will divide five thousand troops to rescue Guizhou. He has tens of thousands of people." Naturally, my 5000 men couldn't win the siege, so I retreated immediately. If he wanted to take the pass, how could he allow me to go back safely? I will definitely come after him, and my other 5000 men will be in ambush to defeat him in one fell swoop!"

Shi Wengong, Sun An and others all laughed and said, "Don't we know what this means? It's just you who talk fast."

Cao Cao nodded first: "Brother Du Po can also use tricks!" He shook his head again: "However, this kind of tactics can only win a small victory. Now that the Liao Kingdom has surrendered gold, and the Jin army is powerful, if you don't give him a hard time, I'm afraid it will be returned. I know I'm so deceitful."

Qin Ming asked in surprise, "Could it be that there is a better plan?"

Cao Cao nodded, took out the map, and said, "Wen Gong and Sun An, I will entrust two of you with the five thousand soldiers and horses to cross the Guishui River, go south along Yudu Mountain, and enter Guizhou in one go." city."

Zhu Tong clapped his legs and said: "In this way, he expected that Wushengguan would be empty, and he would come to fight more and more. I will take the opportunity to ambush him, and he will be defeated. Guizhou soldiers and horses rushed out and attacked halfway through. Tell him to die in the Gui water!"

Cao Cao took a picture of the map: "Exactly!"

The two of them said "Guishui" and "Guishui", but they were talking about a water system in the east of Guizhou City. Its real name is Qingyishui and Canghe River. The tributary of the Wuding River originates from the Ruzhou mountainous area, runs from northeast to southwest, traverses the Ruzhou and Guizhou basins, and flows into the Wuding River.

The next day, two generals, Shi Wengong and Sun An, led troops as expected, crossed the Guishui River westward, and marched towards Guizhou along the mountains.

Jin Bing also came to fight in a big way. The two sides fought a melee. Shi Wengong and Sun An broke through the encirclement and joined Guan Sheng.

Guan Shengxi said: "My second brother came to help me. These Liao dogs surrendered their golden soldiers, but they seem to be able to fight. They didn't rush out a few times before, but now they just kill them in one fell swoop."

Shi Wengong said: "Be safe and don't be impatient. I have obeyed the general order of my brother and will not abandon Guizhou. I will follow you into the city. My brother has his own clever plan to defeat the enemy."

After hearing this, Guan Sheng had no objection, and charged again, but he couldn't get out, so he retreated to Guizhou and was surrounded by golden soldiers again.

That night, the Jin soldiers really abandoned their camp. Taking advantage of the darkness, the whole army rose up, crossed the Guishui River, and went straight to Wusheng Pass—that is, Juyong Pass in their eyes.

Cao Cao waited for the Tibetan soldiers at the mountain pass, watching the golden soldiers approaching in great numbers, all the generals wanted to fight, Cao Cao stopped and said: "He only wants to take advantage of the pass, and let him run into a thorn."

At the moment, he didn't care about it, just sat and watched the golden soldiers march into the capital of the army, and went straight to Wusheng pass.

In Wusheng Guanzhong, Hu Sanniang had already obtained Cao Cao's letter at night, knowing his arrangement, she had already boarded and closed the enemy tower early on, gearing up to fight.

After noon, when Jin Bing finally killed him, his almond-eyed eyes widened with joy, and he said to his two girlfriends: "I have heard for a long time that there was a Princess Pingyang in the Tang Dynasty who guarded Xiongguan. No one dared to look at each other, so the name of the pass was changed." It's called Niangzi Pass, and now three of my sisters are guarding Wusheng Pass here, and it may get a good name in the future, so it's called Sisters Pass!"

Tai Zi coquettishly said: "Our sisters are all beauties, I think it should be called Beauty Pass."

Kleina said: "What about beauties? We are all married as wives. I think we should be called wives."

Tai Zi frowned and said, "Your Chinese is too poor, Wife Guan is so ugly, since we are other people's wives, we should call Wife Guan."

Hu Sanniang laughed so hard: "That's Madam Guan! What kind of Wife Guan... But Madam Guan makes us look old, I still like Beauty Guan and Sister Guan."

The three female generals stood at the juncture, laughing and laughing together, they didn't care about the golden soldiers, but they didn't know what to say, and they had their own days, since the word "Ren Wife Pass" was spoken, the momentum of the grand pass under their feet had changed faintly , more and more indestructible, I just ask who in the world can take it away from Lao Cao?

Seeing her three wives standing tall and tall, laughing and talking a lot, the soldiers and horses guarding the pass were all emboldened, and their breaths became rough——

This is the reason why working with men and women is not tiring. There are three female generals who are as beautiful as flowers and jade.

How does Jin Bing know his falsehood?According to the information they summarized, Lao Cao had a total of more than people, and now he has driven . This level is full of calculations, how many people are left?

But I don't know that Lao Cao got flat battalions from Zhangjue, and left here, plus the original guards, a total of more than guards.

Jin Bing drove seven or eight miles away before the pass, took a short break to reorganize the team, and then came to the pass.

The leader of the army was quite young, wearing an iron chain armor, urged the horse out of battle, looked at the pass, and laughed loudly: "What a magnificent pass! It's a pity that the guards are women. It can be seen that these bandits have indeed drawn all their troops to go. so that no one can use it! Forget it, let those Liao dogs take the lead and win this pass for me."

The soldiers and horses under his command totaled , were Jurchen warriors, of the remaining , were veterans of the Kingdom of Jin, from all ethnic groups, and were newly surrendered Liao troops. The descending soldiers and horses were mobilized, each sending out a formation of thousands of people, carrying a ladder to attack.

This is the beauty of Guancheng. If it is an ordinary city, if you let it stand high, if the enemy army is real for a long time, you can besiege it from all sides. However, Guancheng is located in a place with excellent geographical location. , and can only take turns to hit one city wall, which invisibly reduces the number advantage of the invading enemy.

Although Hu Sanniang had never defended the city, she did not panic in the slightest. Relying on the extremely dangerous pass, the large number of soldiers and horses, and the letter from Cao Cao explaining the countermeasures in detail, she was naturally confident.

With a wave of his jade hand, Bao Xu, the "god of mourning", led 1000 people to the city, rolling wood and beating stones, bows and arrows, bed crossbows, raining down, the Liao soldiers howling ghosts and howling, who can come up one step?
General Jin saw him, and hurriedly sent archers to shoot at him, but there were a lot of barbaric cards on the wall. Those Liao soldiers, even if they barely set up a ladder, before they climbed to the top of the wall, their spears poked around like a dense forest. .

After fighting for half an hour, nearly half of the two thousand-man teams were killed or injured. They were so frightened that they would rather be beheaded by the supervising team than take a step forward.

The general of Jin Bing was not angry and ordered another attack. When Hu Sanniang saw her, she also waved her hand. Bao Xu led the men down to the city, and Cao Zheng, the "wielding swordsman" who had been waiting for a long time, led another 1000 men to make up for it...

It continued like this until the evening, when a red sun gradually sank to the west, corpses piled up under the closed wall, and the Liao soldiers who were seriously injured and not dead were wailing endlessly, like purgatory.

At this time, the Liao soldiers took turns almost once, with more than casualties, but they never attacked the city.

General Jin saw that something was wrong, in his mind, there were more than a thousand defenders in Guanzhong, but in half a day of bloody battle, arrows rained down on the city, stones thundered like thunder, why was there any sluggishness?
Although this golden general is not very old, he is also a veteran in the battlefield for several years in the Southern and Northern Wars. He immediately lost his voice and said: "It's a plan! I only think that he is short of soldiers in the Guanzhong. Now it seems that most of the troops have been transferred from the rear. He How many lives do I have to spend guarding this formidable pass?"

Immediately call for gold and retreat.

Hu Sanniang took out her husband's letter from her arms, and hastily turned to the last page, only to see that it was written clearly: The enemy army has been unable to attack for a long time, and must suspect that I have transferred a new army. , make Xiang and Li lead players to attack, and return after a slight victory, and don't love to fight.

Hu Sanniang ordered Xiang Chong and Li Gun to attack, and kept giving orders to the two of them not to go deep.

The golden soldiers backed away, the closed door suddenly opened, the eight-armed Nezha and the Flying Great Sage led five hundred players to fight out, throwing javelins like they didn't want money, and the golden soldiers collapsed in an instant.

Xiang and Li originally planned to act cautiously, but unexpectedly, a burst of javelins killed the enemy army, and they changed their minds immediately: the enemy army is defeated, why don't we just make meritorious deeds here, when will we wait?Then he calmed down his retreat, and only cared about chasing and killing him.

Unexpectedly, the golden general saw that the formation was broken, and instead of running away, he led the Jurchen from his headquarters, and rushed back brazenly.

The players were chasing and killing themselves, when suddenly there was chaos in the enemy's ranks, countless Liao soldiers were killed by their own family members, just as they were wondering, they suddenly saw a golden soldier rushing out, with a strong bow and arrow, they shot at each other.

Xiang Chong and Li Gun were startled, and they shouted and raised their cards together, but at this time he chased and killed for a distance of one or two miles, and his own formation was also in chaos. Like long eyes, it shoots in from places that are not covered by the shield, and shoots down 30 to people in an instant.

The players were well-trained, gritted their teeth and threw javelins and throwing knives, knocking down quite a few Jurchen soldiers. However, the Jurchen soldiers were brave. Although there were many casualties, they approached step by step. Bows and arrows came one after another. After all, he had many people There are more arrows, but although there are fewer shields, the number of casualties on both sides is about the same.

After a few breaths, one or two hundred people were killed on both sides. At this time, the two armies were very close. The Jurchen soldiers screamed strangely. They all dropped their bows and drew out their knives and guns. Straight up.

Xiang Chong and Li Gun turned pale with fright. Since they followed Lao Cao, they had never encountered such a powerful enemy.At the place where the formation is connected, the two sides will roll together, relying on the large number of people, to surround a thousand players.

Seeing that the Jurchens are so capable of fighting, those defeated Liao soldiers were like defeated dogs seeing their masters, they couldn't help feeling very courageous, they all yelled and turned their heads to kill them.

Guan Sanniang was shocked when she saw this, and blushed anxiously: "No wonder my husband is so afraid of the Jurchens, and he is so good at fighting! Xiang Chong and Li Gong are his favorite generals. If they are broken by me, how can they have the face to see him? "

He quickly drew his two sabers, stepped down to the pass, jumped on the horse, and shouted: "Brothers with horses, follow me to save people!"

Seeing the elder sister getting angry, Kleina and Taizi followed closely, riding on the two horses selected by Hu Sanniang to protect her.

There were still leopard riders in the pass, and they were specially left by Lao Cao for emergency. At this moment, they all mounted their horses in a hurry, and followed Hu Sanniang and three daughters to fight out of the pass.

Bao Xu and Cao Zheng couldn't stop him, and saw his sister-in-law committing suicide, and kept complaining. Bao Xu's eyes turned red, and he shouted: "If General Hu makes a mistake, I will die, and anyone who can still breathe will follow me to fight!" Thousands of people in Guanzhong rushed out desperately.

Seeing the elite players Xiang Chong and Li Gun, Na Jin also called himself a surprise: I have fought against Liao Dog for several years, and I have never seen such good soldiers. How can these bandits be able to train them?No wonder he was able to snatch Liaogou's territory.

Just as he was about to lead people to surround and kill this rare elite army, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes shaking the ground. He turned his head and saw three female generals leading hundreds of cavalry, sweeping towards them like a whirlwind.

Instead of being angry, the golden general laughed and said, "It turns out they are the women guarding the pass! When a certain family catches them, why worry about the pass?"

Immediately raised the mace, and shouted: "Hey! Barbarian, do you know the general of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Saliyue!" He led hundreds of soldiers and rushed towards him head-on.

Hu Sanniang raised her willow eyebrows upside down, her almond eyes opened wide, with the sun and moon knife in her palm, and a rouge horse under her crotch, she came to fight this golden general fiercely.

Sa Liha didn't take it seriously at first, but after a few moves, seeing the extraordinary swordsmanship of this female general, he put away his underestimation and focused on fighting her.

At this time, Tai Zi and Kleiner both arrived on horseback, slashing with their knives in the sound of Jiao Zha.

Two of them wield a naginata, and one wields two famous Japanese swords "Spider Cut" and "Onikiri". Three female generals, five swords, slash and kill as fiercely as minced meat. Is Sa Liyao an opponent?Panicked and shouted: "Otunzalu, come and help me!"

Autunzalu is his lieutenant general, originally a savage in the snowy region, unknown to his family, adopted by the Jurchens when he was young, and when he grows up, he has boundless strength.

He was also called the "Dark Wind King" because he was born black and he ran fast. Hearing the general's call for help, he dragged his two long legs and rushed towards him. Kleina's war horse was crushed to death.

Kleina was extremely skilled, jumped off the horse, and said angrily: "You dare to kill my horse!" She slashed her head and face with two knives.

Although Autunzalu was powerful, his movements were slow, and he was restrained by this Fuso Daitengu, but his hammer was too heavy after all, Kleina didn't dare to be careless when he hit a big hole.

Here, three hundred leopard riders swarmed up, and they fought together with the soldiers of San Lihe. The two sides fought with each other with swords and guns, and people fell off their horses every moment.

Sa Li shouted and fought for a few more times, seeing Bao Xu and Cao Zheng attracting thousands of people to kill him, he felt a little flustered, he never expected that the other party would dare to attack the city, he was secretly surprised: How many people are there in his prison?These thieves are so good at fighting, Liao dogs are not enough to rely on, but I can't love to fight!
Sweeping with a stick, avoided the two female generals, reined in and left: "No more fights, withdraw!"

With a cry, the soldiers under his command pulled their horses away one after another, but it didn't take much effort, half of the three hundred leopard cavalry were cut off, and the Jurchen cavalry also dropped more than a hundred stone heads.

Hu Sanniang wanted to chase and kill her, but she was pulled by the bridle by Tai Zi, and said in a low voice: "Sister, the Jurchens are probably willing to retreat because they think our soldiers and horses are so elite. , How can we take advantage of it?"

Hu Sanniang woke up suddenly, led troops to pick up Xiang Chong and Li Gun, and withdrew to Wusheng Pass.

Xiang Chong and Li Gun returned in embarrassment, counted the casualties of their subordinates, and couldn't help crying loudly—five hundred players, after this battle, only 87 remained.Thinking of Hu Sanniang's previous exhortations, she was even more regretful.

Sa Li was there, even counting the casualties, but more than 3000 people were lost. He couldn't help but secretly startled: "Forget it! These bandits are really powerful. Fortunately, a certain family has never been eager to fight. Otherwise, I have people here. Why don't you fight him?" Light?"

I am very fortunate: Fortunately, women do not know how to use soldiers. If she fights with infantry, the players put javelins on the outside, and finally charge with cavalry. I am afraid that all of my 3000 people will be lost here?
After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "Forget it, since he occupied Xiongguan with a large army, he couldn't make up his mind for a while. I just took the Guizhou and Ruzhou. After Lou Shi beat Yanmenguan, I will talk to him later. .

He didn't dare to stay in the canyon for a long time, taking advantage of the bright moonlight, he led his troops to go out of the canyon. Unexpectedly, when he reached the mountain pass, he heard the sound of clappers, falling rocks and flying arrows, shooting down on both sides.

Pitiful for his soldiers, they left Guizhou all night and night, and came to fight hard for a day. Now they are hungry and tired. Who would have thought that the mountain pass, which was safe when they came, suddenly turned into a tiger's mouth that devoured their lives?There was a mess all of a sudden.

Sa Lihou turned pale with shock: This gang of thieves is so cunning, they first secretly transported troops to enrich the fortress, and then surrounded me here, if they want to fight, they will meet with accidents.

He refused to stay for a long time at the moment, and led more than 2000 Jurchens under him to kill a bloody path from his own family and leave.

Those old Jin soldiers were composed of remnants of various ethnic groups. They knew the tactics of the Jurchens early on, so they avoided the two sides early and let him rush out. It was folded by a quarter, and the morale was exhausted. At this moment, the enemy's stone arrows were on the head, and the Jurchen master's sword and horseshoe were behind him. How could there be any fighting spirit?They all ran away.

Lao Cao was stunned: Were they beaten badly by my wife?Why are you so unresisting?
But how he reacted, he immediately shouted loudly, and led his soldiers and horses to fight out. A few brave generals who were capable of fighting took the lead, and immediately rushed out a few bloody paths, killing the enemy soldiers crying and howling.

There are different teachings: it is difficult to get rid of the fog and % of the fans are confused, and everyone is struggling to make new achievements.In the first encounter at Juyongguan, each died and wounded.
