Three Kingdoms: before lying flat, dragging Zhao Yun to defect to Cao

"We only need to wait until Cao Cao retreats, then we can take the opportunity to send troops to defeat him and capture Yanzhou!"

"But... are you sure?"

Zhang Miao had already started to panic.

Chen Gong chased and killed Cao Cao that night, and he had opposed it at first.

But all the civil and military men under his command thought it was time to kill Cao Cao, there was no way, Zhang Miao finally chose to follow the crowd mentality, obeying everyone's words and making Cao Cao's enemy.

This just fulfilled Chen Gong's wish, eradicate Cao Cao, and Yanzhou will be blessed.

Now, with the enemy at the forefront, Zhang Miao, an unqualified prince, naturally began to lose the chain again.

In addition to his friendship with Cao Cao, he also has a deep fear.

Cao (good) Meng De dared to become a lonely hero shortly after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and assassinated Dong Zhuo alone.

A person who can do such a feat, no matter how poor his ability is, is much stronger than Zhang Miao.

It has to be said that Zhang Miao has a very good understanding of himself.

He understood that he was not the material to be a prince.

But now Chen Gong has pushed him out, he deserves to be, and he can be if he doesn't want to, he has no choice.

Moreover, having known Cao Cao for many years, Zhang Miao knew in his heart that Cao Cao hated traitors the most.

Zhang Miao tacitly allowed Chen Gong to chase and kill Cao Cao, which in itself was a kind of betrayal.

He betrayed his friendship with Cao Cao and his trust in his former friends.

From that step, Zhang Miao was destined to go all the way to the dark.

And the biggest reliance on his whole body can only be Chen Gong in front of him, the person who half pushes him and takes him on this road of no return.

"Meng Zhuo, you have to have confidence in yourself."

"As long as you think it's okay, then we can definitely defeat Cao Cao."

"This bandit Cao is not some three-headed and six-armed devil, but also a man with two eyes and one mouth, nothing to worry about."

Chen Gong said in relief.

He looked down on Zhang Miao's weak attitude from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Gong felt that he should find a mighty and domineering person to be the protagonist, not a coward like Zhang Miao.

With Zhang Miao's current posture of being unable to support the wall with mud, will he really be Cao Cao's opponent?

Chen Gong himself didn't know whether he could defeat Cao Cao.

But a person like him is so stubborn that he won't find mistakes in himself.

Now he only thinks about Zhang Miao's shortcomings, and he wants a domineering lord.

But I forgot that without Zhang Miao, he would not be who he is today...

However, Zhang Miao obviously hasn't noticed the little Jiujiu in Chen Gong's heart.

Of course, even if you know, there may be no good way.

He still had to rely on Chen Gong.

The pressure brought by Cao Jun was like a boulder hanging over his heart, and the butcher knife Cao Cao raised was always hanging on his head, which was difficult to get rid of...

PS: Zhang Miao rebelled in history, and Chen Gong should bear at least 90.00% of the blame. .

Chapter 75 Where exactly is Cao Mengde's army?

Just when Zhang Miao was getting more and more negative, several messengers rushed in suddenly.

"My lord, something is wrong!"

"Cao Cao is leading the main force to approach Chen Liucheng."

"what!"

After Zhang Miao heard the news, he immediately jumped up from his seat.

"Cao Cao's speed, is it really... so fast?"

Zhang Miao's eyes were full of fear.

Seeing his bear like this, Chen Gong felt more and more angry.

However, in front of the enemy, he still stabilized his emotions and said:

"Meng Zhuo, let's concentrate our forces and strengthen Chenliu's defenses. Cao Cao won't be able to break in."

"Yes, keep Chen Liu well, keep Chen Liu well."

Zhang Miao said with a panicked face, with a big belly.

"Gongtai, Chen Liu depends on you."

It seemed that because his sense of security could not be guaranteed, Zhang Miao strode forward and grabbed Chen Gong's hand tightly.

"what……"

Chen Gong released Zhang Miao in disgust.

The hatred for him in my heart can't help but become more and more.

"I'm going to set up the city defense, Meng Zhuo, you can do it yourself."

After Chen Gong finished speaking, he left without looking back, leaving Zhang Miao wandering helplessly in the conference hall.

……

Thirty miles outside Chenliu City

Zhao Yun, Xia Houdun, Yu Jin, and Guo Jia were sitting together to hold a small military meeting.

Guo Jia first poured himself two glasses of wine, then said:

"Everyone, according to my opinion, our first offensive is particularly important."

"It is necessary to prevent Chen Gong and Zhang Miao from noticing that our army's real strength is only 3000."

Hearing this, no matter it was Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin or Zhao Yun, all of them showed a trace of solemnity on their faces.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the number of defenders in Chenliu City is about four times that of theirs.

Coupled with the tall city defenses and a large number of defense weapons, this battle will be extremely difficult.

"Generals, do you have any good strategies against the enemy?"

Although Guo Jia has the power of life and death given by Yitianjian and Cao Cao, he is only a counselor after all.

When it comes to marching and fighting, we have to rely on three experts, Zhao Yun, Xiahou Dun, and Yu Jin. (Although Brother Dun may just be a brick house)

"Chen Liu's defenses are very strong, and Chen Gong scattered the defenders at the four city gates."

"Only one of the city gates has more people than our total number."

"Therefore, I'm afraid it's not feasible to divide the troops. I suggest that we try our best to attack a city gate first."

Xiahou Dun suggested.

Ahem, regardless of Brother Dun's real level, he dares to put forward opinions and suggestions. This alone is very commendable.

After listening to Xiahou Dun's suggestion, the other three people had different expressions on their faces.

Especially Guo Jia, who silently poured himself another glass of wine.

Because...Xiahoudun's suggestion is really bad.

Prioritize 030 troops to storm a city gate, and the defenders at the other city gates saw that no Cao army came to attack the gate they were stationed at, so they doubted that there were ghosts!

Besides, even if you concentrate your forces to attack only one city gate, it won't be taken in an instant.

At that time, other city gate defenders would have come to support.

In the end, Cao Jun's fate can only be solved by making dumplings.

Seeing the reactions of Yu Jin, Zhao Yun, and Guo Jia, Xiahou Dun also felt a little embarrassed.

He is more than enough to be a vanguard general, and he is even better at managing internal affairs.

Allowing him to formulate strategies is like asking a novel writer to write programming.

"Ahem, Wen Ze, Zilong, do you have any good suggestions?"

Xiahou Dun asked Yu Jin and Zhao Yun, hoping to relieve his embarrassment.

"I don't think it's a good time for us to attack now."

"Because in any case, our army does not have a strong offensive, and the enemy will definitely notice the abnormality."

"It's better that our army stationed nearby and advance slowly, causing psychological oppression to the enemy."

Yu Jin said in a deep voice.

His combat proposal is very stable, but the problem is that it is too stable, so stable that he almost gave up the attack.

This also has a lot to do with Yu Jin's own personality. He doesn't want to rush too far and damage his own strength.

Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, and Xiahou Dun all nodded after listening.

If there is really no other way, then Yu Jin's strategy is indeed feasible.

Seeing that both Yu Jin and Xiahou Dun had made suggestions, Guo Jia turned to Zhao Yun and asked:

"General Zilong, what do you think of this?"

Hearing the inquiry, Zhao Yun cupped his hands first, and then said:

"I have a strategy that is not yet fully formed. I hope that Mr. Feng Xiao, Yuan Rang, and Wen Ze can help me perfect it together."

"Oh, my brother, why are you being so polite?"

Xiahou Dun hugged Zhao Yun, and exchanged a glass of strong wine with him.

After drinking strong alcohol, the two of them didn't feel much.

The alcohol content of millet wine in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period was really not good. Alcoholics like Xiahou Dun and Guo Jia usually drank it as water.

Yu Jin is calm by nature, he usually doesn't drink, and thinks that drinking will cause trouble.

"Let's find a good place to station first, and then launch a surprise attack on Chen Liucheng at night."

Zhao Yun looked towards the horizon, looked at the setting sun that was about to set, and suggested.

"Night attack?"

"I'm afraid there's something missing."

Guo Jia smiled slightly, and drank the last glass of wine in the jug. "

"Our troops are not strong enough to break through the city, but we have to make the enemy think that we have a large number."

"In this way, it is necessary to create an illusion that we (cafb) have the strength to break the city, but there is no way to give it a go."

Guo Jia said with a smile.

"However, we only have such a small number of people. Could it be possible that we can still send troops from heaven?"

Xiahou Dun shouted.

"There won't be Raiders of Heaven, but we can create the illusion that there are soldiers."

"General Wen Ze, you lead five hundred soldiers to station in the forest."

"After our night attack troops retreat, you will shake the tree shadows and dust to make the enemy think that there is an ambush in the forest."

"In this way, with Chen Gong's suspicious personality, he would definitely not dare to pursue him, instead he would become paranoid and restrain himself."

"It is also more convenient for our next layout."

Guo Jia's mouth curved slightly.

According to Xi Zhicai, Chen Gong almost left Cao Cao in Chenliucheng forever.

Guo Jia wanted to test how insidious Chen Gong was, compared to himself, a madman in Yingchuan.

In this way, the four of them agreed on a strategy, and facing the last arc of the setting sun reflected on the horizon, the army slowly moved towards the woods outside Chenliu City.
