The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

However, Xun Zhen wrote to Cao Cao, analyzed the situation for him, and persuaded him to withdraw to Dongjun. Cao Cao read the letter, he laughed and said: "Zhenzhi is known as benevolent, but he also uses deceitful words! Use this to scare me." Cheng Li, Chen Gong and others were present. Chen Gong said: "The way of the military family must be based on the truth. Since Zhendong has used these words to scare Duke Ming, Xuzhou's soldiers will be exhausted and unable to fight again! The defeats of Duke Ming are now combined with Shanyang, Jiyin, The military supplies of the four counties of Chenliu and Dongjun have been strengthened, and they have been recuperating for more than a month. With my ease, I will fight against the army for a long time. Duke Ming, do not return to Dongjun. If you return it firmly, it is exactly what Zhendong wants."

Cao Cao asked Cheng Li, "What is the general will?" Cheng Li said, "The fact is that the military is important, and Xuzhou's soldiers may not have the strength to fight again. However, the Yellow Turbans in the northeast of the town will be destroyed, and they will enter the city of Keli. At the gate, I, the soldiers and the people, are all shocked. At this time, Yan is like collecting salary. The discussion of the public platform is like getting fire with salary. I am afraid that before the father comes out, the troops are all scattered!" Chen Gong said angrily. Cheng Li said: "How can I persuade Duke Ming to abandon Yan? Advance and retreat are also military tactics. Be a small retreat, avoid the front of Zhendong for the time being, and wait for the army to be stable. It's not too late to fight. The people of Yuzhou in the east of the town have many Yu and Xu Shi under their tents, and even if they are in Yanjing, how can they obey?"

The two quarreled. Cao Cao said: "I have decided my plan! Cheng Gong's words are indeed reasonable, and Gongtai's words are not wrong. Xuzhou's soldiers have been fighting fiercely for more than a month. I can defend it from the outside! I will be stationed in the army, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack!" Chen Gong was overjoyed.

Cheng Li and Chen Gong resigned from the tent.

After a while, Cheng Li turned around and said, "Li Shi said that it was appropriate to return to Dongjun County. Duke Ming seems to have been moved. What I am worried about is that Zhendong is good at military use, talented, filial, wise, Xu Xian, Yuejin, general, Xuzhou soldiers are well-trained, and they are called Jingzu. Only Shanyang and Jiyin cannot be protected, and Dongjun will also be lost! If Dongjun is lost, Duke Ming can only rely on the original, which is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside. How can he spread his wings? The buckling of the inchworm is for the sake of faith; the sting of the dragon and snake is for the preservation of one's life, did the Duke of Ming not hear it?" Cao Cao sighed, "I have newly acquired Yanzhou, but the scholar's heart is not attached, and now I am abandoning Jiyin, Shanyang will definitely be demoralized and cannot compete with Zhendong! Gongzhi's advance statement is definitely the best policy; I guard the Cheng clan, I have to do it for you!" Cheng Li sighed and said, "It's hard to ride a tiger!"

Cao Cao obeyed Chen Gong's advice and did not use Cheng Li's strategy.

Hexiang camp. Xun Zhen received the front-line military newspaper and summoned Xi Zhicai, Xun You and others to discuss it. Xun Zhen said: "The Yellow Turbans in Jibei were broken by Wen Qian and Zilong, and Zilong entered and occupied Licheng. Since the first battle of Rencheng, our army has been fighting continuously for more than a month, and the food supply is scarce, and the soldiers are exhausted. Meng Detun Cheng clan, With the help of the four prefectures, the decline will be reduced a little; Father Kang is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I intend to withdraw troops and put a truce for the time being." Xun Youxu said, "What Duke Ming said is very true." Xi Zhicai said: "In the past, Duke Ming believed Cao Dongjun, prepare a description of the embarrassment of Dongjun, state my strategy for attacking Dongjun, and persuade him to return to Dongjun, if you intend to attack Kangfu and take Shanyang, why do you want to withdraw troops now?" Xun Zhen laughed: "What is in the letter? Words, my deceit."

Xi Zhicai said: "Looking at it with loyalty, the strategy stated in the Ming official letter is clearly feasible!" Xun Zhen asked: "How do you say this?" Xi Zhicai said: "Although my soldiers are tired, Yan people are also shocked. The wounded bird fell upon hearing the sound of the strings. Today, the soldiers of Xu and Le all have the strength to fight again; together with the battalions of the township, there are also a large number of cavalry and cavalry. Give generous rewards, encourage the spirit of the army, and Shi Liangce divides the advance in various ways. , Shanyang and Jiyin are the best ones! If there is a slight shortage of food, the enemy will have food. This is the teaching of Sun Tzu!" Xun Zhen asked: "Yan people are terrified and true, but how can a good strategy come out?"

Xi Zhicai said: "Xijiang Hu attacked Gucheng and trapped Cao Ren's troops; Li Zan attacked Fanxian and mobilized Linqiu and Jiang Qi to help; Zilong bluffed and sailed on the east bank of the river to force Xiahouyuan's troops in Liaocheng to dare not dare. Acting rashly. Then Xu Xuande attacked Kangfu, and General Xu sneaked into Juye. Juye was sixty miles away from Chengshi, and when Chaofa was approaching in the evening, Caoying would be afraid. Duke Ming personally led the army and marched straight into Shanyang. At this time, the troops of Dongjun could not move, and Caoying had no time to help Shanyang; Yuan Yiqing was talking about scholars, how could he be the enemy of Ming Gong? Since Shanyang was down, Caodongjun was attacked by the enemy on three sides. Yes!" Xun Zhen pondered, and asked Xun You and the others, "What do you see, sir?" Xun You said, "The supervising army is a prodigy, and has both courage!"

Xun Zhen was born out of his will to play, and Fang Chuan told all the generals. Xun Zhen read it and Kong Rong wrote it. In the letter, he blamed Xunzhen with righteousness, and asked why he suddenly attacked the city of Li. Ask Xun Zhen, "Do you want to be Dong Zhuo?" Rongxin's words were like swords, Xun Zhen finished reading, sweating like pulp, and he wrote back to the letter, answering: Qingyan and yellow scarves are prosperous, and Licheng is used to suppress the yellow scarves. Send people to the financial institution.

Wan Qian arrives, and Xun Zhen treats him favorably. The prisoners of the Yellow Turbans were escorted by He Yi, and Xun Zhen ordered Xun Yu and others to arrange them properly and divide the land to be used as a colony. He also used Xun You's advice to start a war, and Xu Xian and Zhao Yun's army must be the mastermind ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ to make a decision at the moment, and asked Guo Jia and Xu Zhuo to be divided into Xu Xian and Zhao Yun's army.

Jiang Hu, Li Zan, and Zhao Yun each received orders.

Jiang Hu led the people of his headquarters to drive away the people, known as 10,000 people, under the city of Lingu. Cao Ren, the defender of Gucheng, went up to the city to watch the enemy, and saw Jiang Hu camping several miles outside the city, with flags like a forest, soldiers coming and going, and there was noise in the city. The general Huang Zheng said: "Jiang Hu is self-reliant on the number of troops and neglects his guard. The last general dares to invite three hundred elite cavalry, and he will be the head of the school captain!" Cao Ren gave him a ride. Huang Zheng led his cavalry out and attacked Jianghu's camp. When the Hu soldiers were near the city, they saw Cao riding out of the city and fled in a hurry. Huang Zheng pursued him reluctantly, but before he could get far, a group of men and horses turned from behind the hills along the road, and the leading general laughed and said, "Cao Ren has my plan. !" It was Jiang Hu. Jiang Hu jumped on his horse and led his ride, and attacked Huang Zheng. Cao Cavalry was chasing forward, but his flank was attacked, causing chaos. Huang Zheng fled back with a spear. Jiang Hu chased him up and stabbed him to death. Dozens of Cao's soldiers died in battle, more than a hundred surrendered, and the remaining hundreds fled back to the city on horseback and sued Cao Ren. Cao Ren was unmoved when he was defeated. The benevolent rule of the army is strict, and the army is not in chaos.

Jiang Hu's camp had been built, and the sun was shining outside Wucheng, but Cao Ren could not hold on to it. The general Hu asked: "My army has ten thousand people and many people, but there are only a few soldiers. The morale of Cao's army was lowered in the previous battle. I'm afraid my team won't be able to win." Jiang Hu said with a smile: "This is the plan of Lang! Zhong Lang told me that Cao Ren is calm, the more I fight, the less he will come out, so I can confuse him. I provoked for a few days, If it is as Zhonglang guessed." Zhonglang, engaged in Zhonglang Xu Zhuo.
