Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 287

Master Shang went north from Biyang, crossed Wuyin, crossed Zhongyang Mountain, and went straight to Ye County.

Ye County is the only way for Xuchang to transport grain. After arriving in Ye County, Master Shang and his disciples did not stop their flags and drums. Instead, they cut off the grain road with great fanfare, and then marched in the direction of Xuchang.

Master Shang was discovered by Cao Jun soon after the fanfare, and Cao Jun immediately sent a letter to Cao Hong.After Cao Hong received the military report, he immediately ordered: "Now Xuchang is empty. If Master Shang and his disciples arrive in Xuchang, Xuchang will be in danger! Tell the soldiers to pack up the tents quickly, let us send them back to Xuchang, and inform Yu Jin to be more careful."

As soon as Cao Hong's order was issued, Cao Xiu and Xia Houshang came over, "Uncle, why did you order the withdrawal?"

When Cao Hong saw the two men approaching, he explained: "I just received the military report that Master Shang and his disciples are attacking Xuchang in Ye County. Most of Xuchang's troops have been brought out by us, and we must rush back."

Cao Xiu said: "Uncle wait a moment, this may be the enemy's plan."

Cao Hong asked in confusion, "Why do you think so?"

Cao Xiu said: "Master Shang and his disciples have been cruising in the area of ​​Biyang Wuyin, serving as flanks. He has not moved north before, which shows that he is trying to cut off the back of our army. Now Master Shang and his disciples occupy Ye County, and they have already occupied our army. On the way to the back of the army, he only needs to cut off our army's food road to defeat our army, so why did he go north to Xuchang?"

Xia Houshang also said: "That's true. If Master Shang and his disciples just shot a feint, and the smugglers were on the way, our army hastily returned, and they must have plunged into his encirclement."

Cao Hong asked: "If Master Shang and his disciples really attacked Xuchang, what should we do?"

Cao Xiu said: "Uncle, don't worry, Xuchang is not completely defenseless. Xun Shangshu (Xun Yu) will definitely block it for a while. At that time, we will return at a faster speed, and we will be able to attack later and defeat Master Shang and his disciples."

Cao Hong waved his hand, "It's very difficult to defeat him as a master and apprentice, but it would be great if we can get rid of him!"

Xia Houshang said: "Uncle, why do you want to increase the morale of others and destroy your prestige? When we fight him, I will definitely make him look good."

"Don't be impatient!" Cao Hong said: "Master Shang and his disciples are famous generals for a long time, and there are many people who have fought against him, but there is no one who dares to say that he can win against him. You are still young, don't worry about it." Get into the habit of looking down on people."

Xia Houshang was still a little unconvinced, but Cao Xiu gave him a hand.Unlike Xia Houshang, Cao Xiu had fought against many of Zhang Yi's generals, and he knew the horror of Zhang Yi's generals.

Although he was dissatisfied with Xia Houshang's arrogance, he still obeyed their proposals.He knew Xun Yu's ability. When Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou, Cao Cao had only three counties left, including Juancheng where Xun Yu was stationed.Therefore, although Xun Yu did not have the ability to lead troops in battle, he still had the ability to defend the city.

Cao Hong raised his troops and slowly returned to Xuchang, and sent a lot of scouts to check if there were any enemy ambushes along the way.

The two-day march was like blocking the sun, and there was nothing unusual along the way. The new gods of everyone relaxed a lot.When we came out from Duyang and marched towards Ye County, we passed a forest.The woodland was a little far from the mainland, so Cao Hong didn't care too much, and continued to shoot the scouts to explore the way.But when they reached the middle of the forest, the scouts in front suddenly galloped back, shouting, "There are enemy troops in ambush ahead."

Cao Hong immediately ordered to stop the army, and then said to Xiahou Shang who was beside him, "Boren, you really hit the mark, Master Shang and his disciples really have an ambush."

Xia Houshang smiled triumphantly, "Master Shang and his disciples are nothing more than ordinary people. Uncle, let's form an alliance!"

"Okay! Form the formation!" Cao Hong ordered again.

Cao Jun immediately moved, wanting to form an army formation, and then ambush accordingly.

At this moment, a whole army suddenly came out from the forest a hundred steps away, led by a big man who was Master Shang and his disciples.Master Shang and his disciples shouted loudly: "Cao Jun has been tricked, follow me to kill!"

Master Shang's killing made Cao Jun flustered for a while. They obviously didn't expect that there would be an ambush in the forest so far away.Seeing the enemy rushing forward, Cao Jun's formation speed was much slower, and he didn't form a battle formation before Master Shang and his disciples came up.

Cao Hong's eyes widened too, the enemy actually set up two ambushes!Fortunately, he was experienced, so he quickly ordered: "Block them, and the rest of them will retreat fifty steps to form an formation!"

Xia Houshang was also dumbfounded, he had never seen such an ambush, nor had he seen such a fierce general.He saw Master and Disciple Shang rushing into the camp, rushing left and right, invincible, only then did he realize that he really underestimated Master and Disciple Shang before.

Cao Hong gave Xia Houshang a hand, "Don't be stupid, go and command the soldiers to form an formation."

"Promise!" Xia Houshang just proceeded, and immediately went to organize the soldiers.

In less than a cup of tea, another enemy army came from the front and rushed directly to the unformed army formation.

Cao Hong's eyes widened with anger. He didn't expect the enemy to even consider this. Nearly 1 people have been killed. Moreover, the enemy's battle formation is strictly prohibited, but he can still form a battle formation.

Cao Hong hurriedly called Cao Xiu, and asked Cao Xiu to go to another place to form a battle formation, and he also went to form a battle formation himself.If he can't do it, the enemy can attack both of them at once?
But he didn't expect that the enemy could really do it!Just after they had found a place, two enemy troops suddenly appeared and rushed over, directly breaking up the battle formation they were about to form.

"How did this happen?" Cao Hong looked helplessly at the battle formation he was about to form, and was just crushed by the enemy.

Master Shang and his disciples had already killed one of Cao's troops just now, and immediately ran to the next one, and the attack from both sides quickly dispersed this one.

The situation on the battlefield took a turn for the worse. Cao Hong knew that the defeat was irreversible, so he quickly gathered some soldiers and retreated first, and then slowly gathered other soldiers.

This battle lasted for three full hours before Master Shang and his disciples withdrew their troops.

Feng Xi, Deng Fang, and Liu Yong also returned with their troops, and happily said to Master Shang and his disciples: "General, we have killed more than [-] Cao's troops and captured more than [-] people. Cao Hong has already retreated to Xuchang. We have completed the order, the lord should praise us greatly, right?"

Master Shang and his disciples also laughed, these three were recruited by the lord from Jingzhou, they are not bad, they are fully qualified to be captains and school captains.Moreover, these people have a high level of culture and can completely stand alone. "Don't think about it now. If you want the lord's praise, go back and help Li Yaoshi defeat Yu Jin. After taking Nanyang completely, the lord will definitely praise you."
