The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 198 Xu Chu: The military adviser came up with bad ideas! (Two in one, please subscribe)

Yecheng, the city wall is towering.

At this time, Cao Cao's three armies had arrived outside the city.

Seeing the flags covering the sun, the mighty Cao Jun approaching, on the top of the city, behind the wall, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun couldn't help but dignified their faces.

There are quite a few soldiers in Yecheng, and the total number of infantry and cavalry is no less than [-]. However, Cao Cao came with the power of the whole country, and he is bound to capture Nanyang, which has relieved his worries.

Huang Zhong frowned slightly with gray brows, looked to one side of Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, look at Cao Jun's formation, Cao Cao vowed to win this time."

Zhao Yunning nodded, leaning on the sword and said in a deep voice: "Cao Cao is indeed a hero, you should not be underestimated. But even if he is bound to win, you have to ask me, the Jingzhou soldiers, if I agree."

"Now Yecheng is more than three feet high, more than one foot wide, and the city walls are strong. Even if Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers are elite, it will be difficult to break through this Yecheng."

Zhao Yun swears.

"Well, the order goes on, the three armies are ready to fight. During the war, there is a night curfew in the city. Anyone who acts without receiving the order will be killed." Huang Zhong said solemnly.

I am not afraid of attacking him hard, but I am afraid that some people in the city will be unruly. After all, it is not uncommon to see someone who betrays the Lord and seeks glory. If someone welcomes Cao Jun into the city late at night, there may be a big problem.

"No!" One side will respond.

"How far is my lord from here?" Huang Zhong turned his head and asked.

"Returning to the general, there is news from the outpost of Cao Cao's siege that the lord has arrived in the north of Xinye. There are still more than three hundred miles away from here, and it may take several days to travel." The general replied.

"I see. All ministries are ordered to be on guard. Without my order, no one is allowed to open the city gate." Huang Zhong said in a deep voice, and went straight down the city wall.

He knew that it was impossible for Cao Jun to attack today.

This is probably the last calm before the storm.

Under the city, at the chariot.

Cao Cao grabbed the water bag and took a sip of clear water. Looking at the towering fortified city not far away, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Ye, it's just a small frontier fortress town, Zhang Xiu actually built it so tall and strong in just two years, it's hateful." Nah."

"Cao Ren, how does Yecheng compare with Xiapi in Xuzhou?" Cao Cao asked sideways.

"My lord, Yecheng and Xiapi might not give way too much. The only thing missing is that Yecheng has no water system to surround it." Cao Ren looked at it carefully and said.

"Hateful, this is exactly what is hateful!"

Cao Cao cursed angrily, then turned his head to look at Guo Jia and said in a deep voice, "Feng Xiao, this city is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, do you have a good strategy to teach me how to break the city?"

On one side, Guo Jia took a sip of strong wine, coughed a few times, his face was slightly pale,
Wen Sheng said: "My lord, hundreds of miles or even hundreds of miles south of Yecheng have already been solidified and cleared. It is unwise to detour and set it as the road for Huang Zhong and others to rob our army."

"The law of war says that ten means encircling them, five means attacking them, and multiplying them divides them. Now our army is twice as large as Yecheng's defenders. If we forcefully attack our army, we will suffer heavy losses and it would be unwise."

"If you want to break the city, you have to lure the enemy out of the city and fight with our army."

"I think my Qingzhou army is an elite in a hundred battles, and the reorganized Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has also begun to show its edge. As long as the enemy dares to go out of the city to fight in the field, they will definitely be defeated by the Lord's cavalry."

"Military teacher, how do you think you should lure the enemy these days?" On one side, Xu Chu was a little anxious with a big knife, and his head grew dizzy after hearing the literati's grinding.

Cao Cao also glared at Xu Chu, and then said sincerely, "How does Feng Xiao think to lure the enemy?"

"One is upright, one is strange. With righteousness and harmony, odds win." Guo Jia smiled gently, revealing a shrewd look.

"What does the military advisor mean?" Cao Ren frowned and thought for three breaths, and asked respectfully.

As soon as the words came out, all the generals in Cao Ying looked at Guo Jia.

"Hehe!" Guo Jia showed an unruly expression, took another sip of wine, and said with a light smile: "My lord is making a big attack, I think Zhang Xiu won't sit idly by, I'm afraid he will go to Yecheng in a few days. "

"Feng Xiao is saying that the soldiers are fighting against Ye, and the strange soldiers are going to intercept and kill Zhang Xiu? To lure the enemy troops out of the city to help?" Cao Cao chuckled and asked instead.

"Yes!" Guo Jia nodded, and continued: "As far as I know, under Zhang Xiu's rule, there is a god who can send a message through the air. As long as our army can intercept and kill Zhang Xiu, then Huang Zhong will definitely come out of the city to meet him."

"At that time, whether it is eating Huang Zhong or Zhang Xiu's reinforcements, it will be a great benefit to our army.

"Even if Zhang Xiu is allowed to escape, the enemy's army will lose troops and their morale will plummet. On the contrary, our army's morale will be high, so great things will be accomplished."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, confidence appeared between his brows.

"Military division, it's a flat river away from Xinye, and there's nowhere to set up an ambush. In addition, there are things in Zhang Xiu's army that can be farsighted. How can we eat Zhang Xiu's reinforcements?"

Cao Ren looked suspiciously and tried to ask.

"Hehe, after absorbing Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf cavalry, the tiger and leopard cavalry has grown a lot, no less than five thousand, and they are all warriors who dare to fight."

"As Nanyang has many dense forests, you can send iron cavalry to hide in the dense forest, bring Zhang Xiu there, and all the troops and horses will fight out. With the help of iron cavalry, you can defeat the enemy."

Guo Jia explained with a light smile.

"Very good!" Cao Cao smiled, turned to look at Xu Chu and said, "Xu Chu, Xu Huang, the tiger and leopard cavalry will be supervised by you for the time being, so that the cavalry can defeat Zhang Xiu."

"No!" Xu Huang was in high spirits.

"I'm not going, I want to lead the infantry."

Xu Chu turned his head, his eyes rolling wildly.

"Why don't you go?" Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, and asked tentatively.

"My lord, it's not that I don't want to lead the cavalry, but Zhang Xiu's fellow has a demon fire, which explodes non-stop. Although the damage is not great, the horses are difficult to approach."

"In my opinion, the military division is a bad idea. It is better to let the infantry attack Zhang Xiu with the cavalry." Xu Chu pursed his lips with a shadowy expression.

"Zhongkang, the military order is the most important." Xu Huang lowered his voice.

"I don't care, whoever wants to go, I won't go anyway." Xu Chu pouted and said firmly.

He was terrified of being bombed, and was bombed twice.

Although not very harmful, it is extremely insulting.And when the war horse saw these fireworks and noises, it couldn't control it at all, so he didn't lead the cavalry anymore.

"Hehe," Guo Jia laughed, and immediately said: "General Xu, don't worry, I would not do such a stupid thing, but according to my careful investigation, the rare things like Zhang Xiu have already been exhausted."

"Did the general forget that he deceived us with fakes last time?"

"Really?" Xu Chu looked at Guo Jia suspiciously with his eyes like bull eggs.

"Of course it's true, how can such a good war be a joke?" Guo Jia replied solemnly.

Xu Chu rolled his eyes. If there was no demon fire, he could have considered it. After thinking for a while, he immediately raised his saber and said viciously: "In this case, I want Zhang Xiu to know how powerful tiger and leopard riders are."

"However, military advisor, how do we know where Zhang Xiu came from?" Cao Ren frowned.

"Hehe, Zhang Xiu should lead the reinforcements here this time. As the saying goes, soldiers are precious and fast, so they must follow the official route. And there are only two official routes from Bowang to Yecheng."

"First, leave Bowang, go to Duyang, and then go to Yecheng."

"Secondly, go out of Bowang, go to Zhixian County, and then go to Yecheng."

"With Zhang Xiu's personality, it's unlikely that he would choose the distance and go to Zhixian County. However, the two must-pass roads can be set up, and two thousand riders can be separated from Zhixian County."

"At the same time, gather heavy troops to ambush and block Yang on the way to Yecheng. At that time, when the enemy's foothold is not stable, attack him in one fell swoop, and it will not be difficult to defeat the enemy."

"However, before that, we must first conceal the truth from Huang Zhong, otherwise Zhang Xiu must be vigilant." Guo Jia explained with a dignified expression.

Cao Cao nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The victory of a surprise soldier lies in surprise, so Huang Zhong must not be alerted to the division of our army, otherwise he will notify Zhang Xiu."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and said in a deep voice, "How does Feng Xiao think it should be concealed?"

"My lord, there are only a few ways to siege a city in ancient and modern times. You can order General Cao Ren to supervise the three armies, set up a mountain, climb up and shoot, so as to cover up the enemy's vision."

"In addition, you can also dig the earth, use the earth hills to hide your vision, and dig tunnels into the city."

"At the same time, my lord must also order the three armies and the battalion to build all kinds of siege equipment, and make an imminent attack, so as to confuse the enemy army, so as to send surprise troops to ambush Zhang Xiu."

Guo Jia was thoughtful and thoughtful, and he talked broadly.

"Dashan, this plan is very clever." Cao Cao laughed heartily and said loudly: "In this way, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun will definitely think that our army is going to attack Yecheng by force, so they will ask Zhang Xiu for help."

At this point, Cao Cao looked at the generals beside him and said, "Cao Ren, you will lead [-] infantry, build up soil and dig roads, and make a strong attack on Yecheng according to the army master's words."

"Promise!" Cao Ren clasped his fists in response.

"Li Dian, Le Jin, and Zhuji Ru are three people to assist." Cao Cao looked at the crowd again and said.

"No!" The three agreed.

"Xu Huang, Yu Jin, let the two of you lead [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. Along the way with Zhi County, if Zhang Xiushe is near and far away, be sure to intercept and kill him."

Cao Cao's fine eyes swept over, and said coldly.

"No!" The two clasped their fists together.

"The rest of the generals will follow me to Yecheng and Duyang official road to kill Zhang Xiu." Cao Cao shouted forcefully.

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao ordered the coachman to turn back, and said at the same time: "Cao Ren, after the siege, while calling for battle, he ordered the earth to be built and climbed up."

"Promise!" Cao Ren bowed his head in response.

The next day, on the city wall.

Looking at the earth hills built outside the city, Huang Zhong's face was dignified, and his eyes narrowed even more.

On one side, Zhao Yun frowned, held his sword and said in a deep voice: "Han Sheng, Cao Jun is trying to climb high and shoot. How about I lead the cavalry to charge out and destroy the enemy's earth mountain?"

"Otherwise, waiting for the enemy's army to stand upright may be detrimental to our army."

Huang Zhong didn't answer, but murmured to himself: "Cao Cao wants to attack Yecheng?"

After thinking for a while, Huang Zhong muttered to himself: "But it's true if you think about it. There is no man's land beyond the hundreds of miles behind Yecheng. He must take Yecheng."

At this time, one side of the general came striding forward, clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "General Huang, our scouts have just sent back the news that Cao Jun is busy building siege equipment."

"In addition, Cao's army has made many moves behind the earth mountain. I am afraid they are digging tunnels to enter the city. We must guard against it."

After listening to Pianjiang, Huang Zhong's eyes creased. It seems that Cao Cao really wanted to attack Yecheng by force, and he was building a mountain and digging a tunnel.

"Return order, just say continue to observe."

"In addition, order the guards in the city to dig a dirt road for me in a ten-foot position in the city, and send another guard to patrol day and night. If there are any changes, they will be reported and strangled at any time."

Huang Zhong acted vigorously and said in a deep voice.

"No!" Pian Jiang retreated in response.

"By the way, order the scouts outside the city to report the current situation in Yecheng to the lord, and ask him to be more careful." Huang Zhong warned.

With the side will retreat.

"Zilong, Cao Jun seems to want to attack Yecheng by force, but it's hard to guarantee that it's not to lure our army out of the city. You just hold back and wait until the situation is clear before making another argument."

Huang Zhong turned his head to look at Zhao Yun, and said in a deep voice.

"Well, that's fine too." Zhao Yun nodded at this moment with a resolute face and a solemn expression.

Then, the soldiers at the top of the city were busy preparing for the battle, and various strategic resources, such as rolling logs, stones, fire oil arrows, etc., were transported to the top of the city, ready at all times.

In a blink of an eye, a few days later.

During the past few days, Cao Ying was still in full swing, busy building siege equipment.At the same time, Cao Ren ordered the infantry to attack the city quietly in the dark.

However, Huang Zhong discovered all of them and repelled them.

It may be considered some small friction, but what Huang Zhong didn't expect was that Cao Cao had already led the three armies to ambush and blocked the official road in Yangyang, intending to intercept and kill Zhang Xiu.

And it is inevitable!
At this time, Du Yang went on the official road to Yecheng.

Zhang Xiu led a reinforcement army of about [-] people, and they were rushing to Yecheng in mighty force.

This time, he personally led the Xuanwei army, supplemented by some miscellaneous soldiers, plus more than a thousand cavalry, as well as Gao Shun who insisted on coming, and the camp that had just been formed a few months ago.

In the army, under the handsome flag.

Zhang Xiu was dressed in military armor and carried a golden gun, quite majestic, and beside him were generals such as Zhao Fan, Gao Shun, Xing Daorong, and Jia Xu was on the side.

Jia Xu looked around and said immediately, "My lord, there are only a hundred li left from Yecheng, and we will arrive in a few days."

At this point, Jia Xu's expression was a little dignified, and he hesitated for three breaths before saying: "However, according to the news sent back by Huang Zhong, Cao Cao actually wanted to attack Yecheng."

"Yecheng is more than three feet high and nearly two feet wide. If a strong attack is made, Cao Cao may lay down tens of thousands of corpses, and the gain will not be worth the loss. Xu thinks that according to Cao Cao's character, it will definitely not be like this."

"You mean, Cao Cao won't attack by force?"

Zhang Xiu frowned, and said suspiciously.

"It should be like this. He has only one purpose for doing this. He wants to cover up something." Jia Xu squinted his eyes and said darkly.

As early as when he sent back the letter, he had guessed, but he was not sure, but now that he was getting closer and closer to Yecheng, it made him feel a little uneasy.

Zhang Xiu's pupils shrank slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "What is he trying to cover up?"

Zhang Xiu also thought before that Cao Cao would not attack by force, but Huang Zhong refused to leave the city, so Cao Cao could only attack by force. This explanation can barely explain the past.

Jia Xu pondered for a while, and then said: "In the past few days, Xu has made inferences. I'm afraid Cao Cao's drunkard's intention is not to drink, he is probably trying to deceive people's eyes and ears, and draw troops to ambush the lord."

"The formation of the large army is chaotic, and Cao Cao deliberately set up a ecstasy formation, which will make our army lower our vigilance. As long as Cao Cao sends a fine cavalry to take advantage of the situation, our army will be defeated."

"Ambush me?" Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

"I'm afraid it's almost the same. The key to this battle is the lord. If Cao Cao can kill the lord, then his army can win without fighting."

"Even if you can't kill the lord, you can defeat the lord's reinforcements and boost the morale of the three armies." Jia Xu said in a deep voice.

Speaking of this, he glanced away again, and then said: "After Cao Cao destroyed Lu Bu, he used the iron cavalry under his command for his own use. Now the tiger and leopard cavalry have been reorganized."

"I'm afraid, this tiger and leopard cavalry is not far away from us!"

Jia Xu's expression was a little sad. Before, they had demon fire that might have made the enemy cavalry fearful, but the demon fire was exhausted, and in addition to the Nanyang Plain, iron cavalry were like ducks in water, so they had to be careful.
