Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao, please answer the question!

Pang Tong was also a little surprised, and said, "Could it be that someone drove the boat away?"

This is just an episode.

Waiting for Kuaiyue's troops to cross the river, Kuaiyue attacked Xiakou from the south gate, while they attacked from the west gate.

"attack!"

Now that the [-] troops have arrived, there is no reason to stay.

A vast army is approaching the city.

"Someone is going!"

Wen Pin was the first to bear the brunt with five thousand soldiers and horses, but after seeing the scene of Xiakou City, his pupils shrank slightly, and he stopped his horse.

"Empty city plan?"

That's right, what he was facing was Xiakou with the city gate wide open.

There were only a few dozens of soldiers on the city wall, and the entire Xiakou City looked a bit bleak.

"Is this Sun Quan's plan?"

The expression on Wenpin's face was uncertain, and finally he decided not to attack rashly.

At this time, Cao Cao also encountered the same situation at the west gate. He was stunned for a moment, and asked Pang Tong, "What do you think, sir?"

"This empty city plan is too irrational!"

Even Pang Tong was fooled by this trick.

If they close the city gate and get hurt, they may not feel anything.

But the gate of the city opened, and the way it greeted people made people feel uneasy.

Beware of fraud!

Cao Cao also felt the same way.

"Could it be that they have seen through our actions long ago with this empty city plan?"

"Is the city empty? Or is there an army in ambush?"

Cao Cao was suspicious and cautious by nature, and felt that there must be demons in everything.

But is he the one stopped by this little empty city plan?

"Zhang Ling, you lead 2000, not [-] people into the city!"

Since they were invited, they were invited to go to see what kind of tricks were being played in the city.

Zhang Ling is a young general under Cao Cao. After he got the order, he went to Xiakou City with a look of death.

There were dozens of soldiers on the city gate, Zhang Ling's eyes were like torches, and the dozens of soldiers almost sat down on the ground in horror.

Zhang Ling ordered people to go up to the tower.

Regardless of whether there are frauds in Xiakou City, once the city gate is occupied, the outside cannot enter, and the inside cannot exit.

Zhang Ling's deputy general boarded the city gate and asked, "Why did you open the city gate?"

Out of dozens of people came out a luxuriously dressed man with a handsome face. The other party cupped his hands and said, "General, it's the Xia password."

"The gates of the city are wide open to welcome the generals!"

He often wiped the sweat from his forehead with his cuff, looking terrified.

The deputy general was very vigilant and asked, "Welcome us? Is there an ambush in the city?"

"No, no!" The county magistrate hastily waved his hands and said, "The Jiangdong army was originally stationed in the city, but they left with the ship a few days ago."

The deputy general was not sure when he heard about it, so he reported it to Zhang Ling.

After thinking about it, Zhang Ling couldn't make up his mind, so he reported to Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao heard this, he said, "Xiakou is empty. The county magistrate was afraid that we would attack the city, so he opened the city gate."

"The county magistrate said that the Jiangdong navy has gone upstream!"

upstream! ?

As soon as he thought about it, he understood.

The generals next to him were not as brave and resourceful as the five good generals, and they were a little confused when they got the news.

Cao Cao explained:

"The army led by Gongda is similar to the coalition forces. They surrounded the coalition forces. This stalemate will benefit or not benefit the coalition forces."

"The advantage is that Gongda can be restrained and let us consume food."

"When the food is almost consumed, we will naturally give up attacking Jiangxia."

Cao Cao said, but it was just wishful thinking.

"It's useless. If this continues, they may force us to make a quick decision, and the 12 army will directly crush it."

"They are afraid that we will attack!"

"So they mobilized the Xiakou army to Shaxian, intending to take down the Jingzhou navy in one fell swoop." Cao Cao felt that he should have guessed pretty well.

No wonder there are so few boats on the river bank!

Pang Tong on the side also wanted to understand, he said: "This is something Zhuge Kongming can do, he expected that the prime minister would not directly attack the city."

Without Pang Tong's suggestion, of course Cao Cao would not directly attack the city.

He laughed and said: "Shi Yuan is really my lucky star, occupy Xiakou first, and then attack Xiling tomorrow."

When the army entered Xiakou City, there really wasn't any tricks. The residents of Xiakou City were still there, and there were only [-] soldiers left in the city.

The magistrate of Xiakou dedicated a glaring and frightened head to Cao Cao.

It is said that this person is Jiangdong's stay in Xiakou.

This morning, the county magistrate received a report that Cao's army was invading aggressively.

So the county magistrate acted decisively, tricked the Jiangdong defenders into a banquet, and then took the head with a knife.

Afterwards, no one informed them, and all four gates of Xiakou City were opened to welcome the arrival of Cao Jun.

He was even more fortunate at this time, because not 4 people came, but 8 people.

A total of [-] troops, let alone Xiakou County, even big cities like Xiling and Jiangling can't stop it!

Afterwards, Cao Cao ordered Li Tong to follow the county magistrate to attack the [-] defenders in the city who were still unaware.

"Old thief, if I don't die, I will definitely kill you!"

Someone in the Jiangdong army saw the county magistrate, his eyes were tearing apart, and his eyes almost popped out. If the eyes could kill, the county magistrate died countless times at this time.

The county magistrate waved his hand and said coldly, "Drag him out and kill him!"

This is also a decisive master.

……

Chapter 74 Standing Out

sand envy.

It was none other than Sun Quan who came from Xiakou.

Sun Quan went down the river and arrived at Xiakou, where he had been waiting for the military situation on the front line.

And the news from Zhou Yu this time is what he has been waiting for for a long time.

Twenty thousand for eighty thousand, no loss!

But he also felt a pain in the flesh, who told them that there are few people in Jiangdong?

"How's the situation?" Sun Quan asked.

As the lord, he would definitely not put himself in danger. At this time, he was on a river boat.

Someone came to report: "Cao's army is attacking our army. They have completely given up the resistance in the rear and want to break through us in one fell swoop."

Sun Quan already knew Cheng Yu's strategy, "He wants to overwhelm us and break out!"

"how can that be!"

He said: "Order the whole army, no one can retreat, and those who retreat will be killed without mercy!"

This Sun Quan showed the indifference of the superiors, casualties are not important, the important thing is to keep this Jingzhou navy.

The Jingzhou navy is actually not the most important.

The most important thing is to wipe out Xun You, Cheng Yu and other advisers, as well as five sons of good generals and other soldiers.

In this way, it will definitely cause an irreparable blow to Cao Cao.

When Sun Quan gave the order, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu on the other side were also leading troops to attack the rear of the Jingzhou navy.

Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu had a clearer grasp of the situation on the battlefield.

"Jingzhou navy is very strong, it is really possible for them to break through the blockade if this continues." Zhuge Liang looked worried.

Zhou Yu said: "Don't worry, our Jiang Dongerlang will fight to the death!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "That's what I'm afraid of. If our casualties are too high, the loss outweighs the gain."

"But this time it's over, Cao Cao should also need to recharge his energy for several years before he dares to attack Jiangxia again!"

12 troops were buried, and Cao Cao couldn't afford it!

"But I feel that they are not very urgent!" Zhou Yu said.

He observed the Jingzhou navy and found that when the Jingzhou navy was attacking the Jiangdong army, they did not have that indomitable momentum.

For example, when the coalition forces learned that the Jingzhou navy was coming, Zhuge Liang sent Guan Yu, who had not yet fully recovered, to play.

The purpose is to increase the morale of the coalition forces and break through the siege in one fell swoop.

But the Jingzhou navy did not.

Zhuge Liang gave a more reasonable explanation: "The Jingzhou navy is not the Qingzhou army, the Qingzhou army is the ever-victorious army, and the Jingzhou navy is a descending army."

Zhou Yu nodded and stopped asking.

The coalition's attack caused the Jingzhou navy to suffer heavy casualties.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others were like a broken bamboo.

They were more aware of what was wrong with Cao Jun than Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang.

"You idiot, are you a coward? How dare you come out and fight me, Gan Ning?"

Gan Ning carried a bow weighing five stones, and held a knife in the book, and killed at least 200 people from left to right.

However, no one in Cao's army responded.

It's as if there are no generals in the entire Cao army.

He was so angry that he killed more diligently.

If Cao Jun wants to break through the siege, at least the generals will come out to fight, but in the current situation, it is better to say that the Jingzhou navy is just holding on.

Gan Ning is like this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are even more like this, the murder has been done to the point of softness.

But none of the famous generals appeared.

This will definitely lower the morale of the Jingzhou Navy!

……

At this time, everyone in Cao's army was indeed shrinking their heads.

"If we don't go out to fight, our morale will drop soon, and we will lose at that time." Cao Chun really couldn't bear the clamor from the people outside.

Xun You said: "If we want to break out, we need to work hard."

"Zihe, we will use your three hundred tiger and leopard riders as the vanguard, we must rush out!"

Cheng Yu's plan, which was originally overwhelming, encountered setbacks at the very beginning.

Why?
