Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 661

"The law of war says, ten times surround it." Lao Cao casually took a tea bowl, put it on the table, pointed and said, "It can also be understood as, if you have a strong city in your hand, you can defend against ten times as many enemies."

The man's eyes lit up: "Understood! What Brother Wu means is that if the Lord of the Western Xia Dynasty sends back his master, he will want to fight quickly, but we will do the opposite, defending the city and delaying with him slowly."

Lao Cao waved his hand, shook his head and smiled, "If it's just for delay, why bother defending the city? I just want to lead the army across the river and wander around, and let him follow behind and eat farts, wouldn't it be better?"

After finishing speaking, there was a sly smile on his face: "My dear brother, the art of war says that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. It can also be understood that if you want to win the enemy, you should be unexpected, the best move."

The man's eyes lit up again, he thought for a moment, but smiled wryly: "To be honest, my dear brother, I seem to understand the truth, but I'm at a loss as to how to do it."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "If you talk about it in detail, it's just to make him think he knows, but he doesn't know. He thinks I don't know, but I know everything. What he knows is what I want him to know. What I said Those are all unknown to the other! If you don’t know, you can’t predict it.”

When Lao Cao said this, not only the man surnamed Li, but also Lao Cao's brothers and the leader of the man's subordinates all looked thoughtful.

Hua Rong, Shi Bao, Yao Xing, Li Huai... the few who were interested, were already articulate and reciting silently.

Jiao Ting even took out the pen and paper from his bosom, licked the tip of the pen with his tongue, moved his eyeballs to the left and right, glanced at the people on both sides, and then reset, although his face was expressionless, his small eyes showed a smug look.

Hu Sanniang exclaimed: "Ah, Brother Jiao Ting really knows that he has made progress now. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. You really put your heart into it."

Jiao Ting couldn't help it, he chuckled, and handed the pen and paper to Shi Qian: "And write it down for me."

Shi Qian feigned anger and said, "Am I your servant?"

Jiao Ting said with a straight face: "I can't read."

Shi Qian was taken aback for a moment, picked up the stack of papers to look, and saw that there was no word on them, they were all villains with long or short hair, he couldn't help wondering: "What is this?"

Jiao Ting pointed at the villain and told him: "This is a woman, this is a man, this is my brother..."

Hu Sanniang's heart moved, she remembered how she had confessed to Jiao Ting, and noticed who Lao Cao had been close to, and was immediately moved: This silly brother, you really put your heart into it!

Lao Cao looked sideways, and Jiao Ting said to Shi Qian seriously: "Brother Qian, help me write down: I want him to know what he knows..."

Lao Cao's expression was suddenly subtle, and suddenly he was not sure whether the Jiao Ting he knew was the real Jiao Ting, or the Jiao Ting he wanted to know?

Shi Qian's expression also became subtle, and he said anxiously that he could not read. Was it really illiterate, or did he want himself to know that he could not read?

But Shi Bao didn't think much about it, he recited what Lao Cao said, if he got something, he thought about it for a while, and suddenly clapped his hands: "Ah, I understand! In the eyes of Xixia people, we are going on an expedition alone, and our whereabouts are extremely hidden , then our troops must be limited. This "limitation" is where he "knows the enemy"! He knows that our troops are limited, so the divisions he sends should not only try not to damage his overall situation in Taiyuan, but also be sufficient for one fell swoop. Put me out, so my brother judges that he has about troops."

Cao Cao praised: "Good brother, you are right! Tell me again, how should I respond when he sends these people here?"

Shi Bao couldn't help frowning, and said while thinking: "He wants to fight Taiyuan now, and when he sends troops back, he must destroy us as soon as possible. Well, he wants to 'fight quickly', this is my 'knowing the enemy', then Since I know he wants to fight quickly, I naturally won't allow him to be complacent, but I just don't want to fight..."

"No!" Huarong suddenly interrupted Shi Bao: "Shi Shuai has taken a shallower view! He doesn't want to fight quickly, he wants to swallow the soil of Song Dynasty and become a big country. As soon as possible, we can focus on fighting on the front line. Therefore, in the final analysis, "being a big country" is our "knowing the enemy".

Hearing this, Yao Xing was taken aback for a moment, and then showed ecstasy: "Yes! Why did the Martial General take such a risk to attack Xingqing Mansion? It is precisely to prevent Xixia from becoming bigger! Xixia is now sending troops to deal with us, My original intention was not to win this army, but to prevent him from taking the lead! Therefore, therefore..."

"Hahahaha!" Lao Cao laughed heartily and encouraged, "Brother Yao, tell me quickly, so what?"

This young warrior who once assassinated Fang Qifo alone, and was captured on the verge of death without changing his face, at this moment, white air is almost spouting from his nostrils, his face is as red as a piece of cloth, his eyes are staring like a bull in heat, as if he himself I didn't believe what I was going to say: "Therefore, therefore, we should take advantage of his division of troops, thinking that there is nothing to do in the rear, and drive straight into Taiyuan! Ah! No way? Marshal, no way?"

Yao Xing was jumping, his face full of disbelief, but he looked at Lao Cao expectantly.

The rest of the people also opened their mouths in shock, and stared blankly at Lao Cao. It was obvious that Yao Xing's character of "driving straight into Taiyuan" shocked them a lot.

Lao Cao also showed surprise, but he never expected that everyone at the scene, you and me, actually figured out his strategy.

YouQi finally guessed that this person was the young Yao Xing.

He couldn't help admiring him, and stretched out his hand to caress his back: "What martial commander, you don't even want to call me brother?"

Yao Xing's face turned redder: "Brother Wu! Good brother, are we really going to fight Taiyuan? Then how to deal with the soldiers he killed?"

Old Cao smiled and looked at the man surnamed Li.

The man shivered, thinking of what Lao Cao had said, his eyes widened immediately, he pointed to his nose and said, "Me? I'll pretend to be you, guarding, guarding the city? To contain his partial teacher?"

"That's right!" Cao Cao said solemnly, "Brothers, Xixia invaded this time with the power of the whole country. With 15 troops, I defeated his bluffing 13 suspects outside Tongguan. He besieged Taiyuan. At most There are 5 Xixia soldiers, thousands of Jurchen soldiers, and the rest is the Song army who surrendered. If, as I expected, people are sent to suppress me, there will only be left!"

He took a few cups and put them on the table, and signaled to the soldiers and horses: "Brother Li is guarding here, holding his partial division, but I am leading the army from the main force, heading straight for Taiyuan! The guards are unexpected. , Big defeat and loss!"

Speaking of going straight to Taiyuan, Lao Cao took a cup and pushed it aggressively, and the cup slid away, knocking away all the cups symbolizing Taiyuan, and one of them fell out of the table with a "pop", Fall to pieces.

The man surnamed Li stared blankly at the shattered cup, and said after a long while, "Sure enough, I didn't expect it! But in the siege of Taiyuan, besides Xia Gou, there is still a discount to ask the Qian Song Army!"

Cao Cao curled his lips and said: "Since the master is dead, the lackeys will inevitably fall apart. If he dares to ask for wild fire, his intestines will be broken."

The man surnamed Li nodded again and again, admiringly said: "Running thousands of miles to attack the Xingqing Mansion, then turning back to aid Taiyuan City, Brother Wu's use of troops is really unrestrained! Forget it, I wait for brothers, then..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Huai suddenly took a step: "If Wu Jiedu does this, the army defending the city will never be lost. I would like to invite two thousand soldiers to defend the city to the death."

"Duh!" The man kicked his eyes and shouted quickly: "Brother, don't fight with me. Most of my brothers are local soldiers. If they defend the city, let alone , it is Xia. Dogs are also confident that they will not lose for several months!"

Li Huai shook his head and said: "The local soldiers are defeated again and again, it is no longer enough to be brave. But I am afraid that if you wait a day or two and someone breaks the city and loses your secrets, you will miss a big deal."

As soon as the man said this, all the brothers in the man's subordinates were furious: "You eat lamp plant ashes and fart lightly! It is clear that the imperial court was messing around first, and the elite soldiers of our armies were called out one after another. The superiors were unable to deal with it, so that the brothers were full of enthusiasm, and there was nowhere to pour it! You say that I am not brave enough to wait, come on, come on, sprinkle your fists, and let you know how to write the word brave."

The man surnamed Li also said unhappily: "Brother Wu, none of my brothers are cowards, which one doesn't have the lives of ten or eight summer dogs?"

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I want to go straight to Taiyuan, relying entirely on the strength of Jishan's iron cavalry, you can't leave me even for a moment, and you, your own family, don't underestimate him, in Wu's heart , The word 'Longyou Hero' is enough to reach thousands of troops! As for 'Three Heroes of the Shaw Brothers' and 'Six Tigers of Qingzhou', which one is not a famous and tough guy?"

The judges heard that this man surnamed Li has a very strong background!
This person is 26 years old, his surname is Li, and his name is Xiaozhong. He is the most famous hero of the Longyou generation, known for his righteousness and ability.

If someone has been bullied and has no other way to beg him, knock his head on the ground and explain the reason, he will poke a hole in the sky and stand up for others.

Therefore, his reputation has spread far and wide at a young age, and people in the Jianghu are called "Longyou Heroes", regardless of the Han people Hu'er, anyone who claims to be a chivalrous person will only follow him.

If in the original history, this Li Xiaozhong heard about the tragedy of Jingkang, aroused the hatred of the enemy, destroyed his family to relieve the difficulties, and recruited soldiers to serve as the king. On the rivers and lakes.

Until the Jin soldiers occupied Hedong and were aroused by righteous indignation, they joined the army under a pseudonym, fought and won victoriously, all the way to be the doctor of Youwu, the observation envoy of Ningzhou and the envoy of the two states of Guozhou, and even Lou Shi was defeated by him. , and later died in Shanzhou at the age of 36, which can be called heroic.

The pseudonym he used was Li Yanxian.

As for the "Three Heroes of the Shao family" mentioned by Lao Cao, they are "Uncle Shao" Shao Xing, "Second Uncle Shao" Shao Yi brothers, and a hero named "Liuyunjian" Shao Yun; "Swallowing Tiger" Dang Song, "Overlord Tiger" Lu Yuandeng, "Flame Tiger" Song Yan, "Huihuihu" Jia He, "Howling Tiger" Yan Ping, "Haha Tiger" Zhao Cheng, all of them are Li Xiaozhong Life and death brothers.

Previously, Liu Kai's father, Liu Zhongwu, the governor of Longyou, was defeated by a crowd of hu and fled to Xizhou.

Later, when Liu Kai found him, the two parties chatted happily. During the meeting, Liu Kai talked about Cao Cao's feat of sweeping through the clouds and making a surprise attack on Lanzhou. Li Xiaozhong admired him very much.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Lanzhou, Cao Cao had already gone along the Yellow River. Li Xiaozhong didn't dare to go along the Yellow River, and wanted to detour to meet him, but suddenly thought of the "Gingzhou Six Tigers" brothers.

These six tigers were originally Han soldiers of the Western Army. After they were defeated by Xixia, they hated the general's incompetence, so they simply set up a stronghold and gathered 2000 troops to make things difficult for the Xixia people.

Li Xiaozhong went to Qingzhou, intending to join these six people, and then went to Lao Cao together.

When the two sides met, Liu Hu had other ideas, and said: "It is a shame that Qingzhou was thrown into our hands, so I only want to recover, and I am not strong enough, so I have no choice. Won't you wait for me?"

Li Xiaozhong was helplessly entangled by him, so he agreed: "Help you recover Gyeongju, and follow me to join Marshal Wu."

So several plans were made, taking advantage of the dark moon and high wind on a certain day, the inside should cooperate with the outside, and seize the gate of Qingzhou city, and then go inside to kill with great fanfare.

Unexpectedly, by coincidence, Lao Cao moved all the way to this point, and was about to seize the city to rest. He originally wanted to touch the city at night, but when he arrived, he saw Li Xiaozhong's troops and Xixia soldiers fighting inextricably.

Lao Cao was naturally not polite, took advantage of the fight between his two families at the east gate, took advantage of the opportunity to rob the north city, and struck from behind, killing all the defenders.

It doesn't matter at all, but Lao Cao's vanguard is the "one-eyed tiger" Ma Jin.

After killing all the defenders, the two sides faced each other, each of them couldn't help being vigilant, and the other side shouted: "We are the six tigers of Qingzhou, who are you?"

Ma Jin saw that the other party had three to four thousand people, and more than a thousand Xixia soldiers were tied. Tiger? It’s better to change this nickname, don’t let the heroes of the world laugh at you.”

How could the six tigers not be angry when they heard such wild words? "Haha Tiger" Zhao Cheng immediately invited to fight, Ma Jin was strong, and he didn't fear him, so he fought with the stiletto, one on each side, and after more than ten rounds of fighting, Ma Jin gained the upper hand, so "Huaihuihu" Jia He and Yan Ping, the "Howling Mountain Tiger", were the next to end.

Three tigers fight one tiger, this tiger has only one eye, how can it be defeated?He had no choice but to be dragged horizontally and backwards by the opponent, and he was captured alive immediately.

At this time Shi Wengong came over, saw that Ma Jin had been captured and was being tied up, he was furious, he refused to let him go, so he went out on the horse himself, only three times, and captured "Howling Tiger" alive.

Seeing his vigor, the remaining five tigers rushed out together. Shi Wengong's ability was not comparable to that of a horse. A Ghost Crying Spear fired, and they fought forty times, defeating the "Overlord Tiger" and "Flame Tiger" one after another. After falling off the horse, the remaining three were gutted and fled in a hurry.

Shi Wengong was about to pursue, when Li Xiaozhong heard the news and rushed over, he shot one by one and stopped Shi Wengong.

The two sides fought for thirty rounds, Shi Wengong's gun appeared like a ghost and screamed again and again, even though Li Xiaozhong was conceited of his skills, he was sweating from killing him, he hurriedly called a stop, and asked for his name, when he heard that it was the "magic gun" Shi Wengong, immediately Thinking of it, I heard Liu Kai mentioned this person!
"Hey, aren't you a general under Marshal Wu? Where is Marshal now? It's hard for me to find him."

This is also exactly:

How can we be friends without misunderstanding?It is difficult to get acquainted without fighting.Jintang strengthens ten thousand guards, and Sirius kills thousands of miles.
