The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

He and Cheng Yu are both sensible people. Although a hero like Cao Cao sometimes acts as he pleases, his heart is in the world. After Cao Cao vents his anger, he can stop.

"I know the meaning of the military division." Cao Cao is definitely a person who listens to good words. The meaning of Xi Zhicai is very clear. If Cao Cao just wants to dominate one side, then it doesn't matter to massacre the people. If Cao Cao wants to rule the world, then stop The massacre of the city, after all, was not done by a benevolent lord, and it would be a big disappointment to the people.

"Order the vanguard general Cao Chun to stop the massacre and appease the people." Cao Cao immediately ordered to stop the massacre. Now that he has vented enough, it's time to get down to business.

"Military division, now that Liu Bei's army has entered Xuzhou and is coming towards our army, why should we respond?" Cao Cao took on the posture of a hero again. He did not come this time to massacre the people of Xuzhou to be buried with his father, but to take Xuzhou this rich land.

"My lord, Liu Bei just went through a big battle last year, and his troops were exhausted. He needed to defend Jizhou Yuan Shao, and Xi'an also needed to garrison a large army to guard against General Cao Ren's [-] troops. It's not as good as my lord this time. When Liu Bei's army arrives, he can break it. .”

"However, what I worry about is the food and grass of the army of the lord. The 20 army of the lord consumes a lot of food and grass every day, and the food road is far away, so we cannot fight for a long time."

"Liu Bei got Tao Qian's request, and he should get the food and grass from Xuzhou to help him, so he has no worries about the future. We can't fight with him. It is the best policy to fight and make a quick decision."

Seeing that Cao Cao has entered the state, Xi Zhicai also started his duty as a military adviser and began to advise Cao Cao.

"The words of the military adviser are very true, and I respect them." Cao Cao immediately made a decision.

"make!"

"Cao Chun's troops immediately captured Lu County, and then captured Pengcheng to occupy Pengjun."

"make!"

"Xia Houyuan led an army of [-] men, went straight to the city of Xiapi, captured Xiapi, and captured Tao Qian alive."

"The rest of the army, follow me to Zhiqiu City and wait for the arrival of Liu Bei's army."

Cao Cao immediately divided his troops, Cao Chun occupied Pengjun, Xiahouyuan went to occupy Xiapi County, and he personally led an army of 15 to the strategically important city, Steoqiu City at the intersection of Pengjun, Xiapi, and Langya, to block Liu Bei's army.

"Report!"

"My lord, Liu Bei's army Zhang Jaw has led an army of [-] to Yangdu City."

Cao Cao's army was on the way to Zhiqiu City when they received news from Zhang Jaw's army.In Yangdu City, the strategically important Zhiqiu City is to the south, and Lu County is to the west, and Cao Cao's 15 troops are about to go to Zhiqiu City from the middle of the two cities.

Chapter 97 The Battle of Ziwu Mountain

"The soldiers and horses of Zhang Jaw are going to Lü County to stop Cao Chun's army. The [-] soldiers and horses should be destroyed to destroy Liu Bei's morale." Cheng Yu immediately proposed to destroy the Zhang Jaw where the lone army had penetrated.

"Send the order, Xiahou Dun will immediately lead [-] troops to Ziwu Mountain to ambush!" Cao Cao immediately made a decision. Ziwu Mountain is the only place to pass from Yangdu City to Lu County, and it is very suitable for ambush.

With an army of 15, Cao Cao only sent 2 to ambush in Ziwu Mountain, while the other army waited outside the mountain. To deal with a mere [-] horses, Cao Cao was not qualified to dispatch all of Cao Cao's troops.

"General, there is Ziwu Mountain in front of you. After passing this mountain, it is only forty miles away from Lu County." Deputy General Wang Lin of Zhang Jai was familiar with the terrain of this area and temporarily acted as a guide for the army.

Wang Lin, with some martial arts skills, was one of the first batch of students of Linzi Military Academy, with excellent grades, worthy of training, so he was sent under Zhang Jai as a lieutenant general.

"Ziwu Mountain? What's the terrain like?" Zhang Jaw frowned, not to enter the forest, this is military common sense, Zhang Jaw, who was always cautious, immediately raised his spirits.

"The last general walked through it once three years ago. The high mountain is suitable for ambushes, but I think Cao Cao's soldiers and horses will definitely not ambush here." Wang Lin finished talking about the terrain, and then began to explain his point of view.

"First, Ziwu Mountain is very close to Lu County. If Cao Cao's army has arrived in Lu County, they should go to Lu County first instead of coming here to ambush. Now Lu County has not been occupied by Cao Cao's army."

"Secondly, there are many grasses and trees in Ziwu Mountain, and if the ambush is detected, the ambush will be completely wiped out if it is attacked with fire."

After Wang Lin finished speaking confidently, he looked at Zhang Jaw, as if he was waiting for Zhang Jaw's appreciation.

It's a pity that Zhang Jai frowned and thought, as if he didn't hear Wang Lin's words. While Wang Lin was very disappointed, he was also slightly dissatisfied with Zhang Jai. After all, Zhang Jai was about the same age as him, although Zhang Jai was better than him in martial arts , but he was the best student among the first batch of students of Linzi Military Academy, and he was received by Liu Bei.

"Keep going!"

In the end, Zhang Jaw let the general go forward. After all, his goal was to rush to Lu County to prevent Cao Cao from going south. If he bypassed Ziwu Mountain, there would be too little time.

"It's really a dangerous place!" Looking at Zi Wushan in front of him, he opened his jaw and sighed, and at the same time, a feeling of uneasiness rose in his heart.

"General, I would like to lead my troops to investigate." Seeing that Zhang Jai stopped the army, Wang Lin began to look down on Zhang Jai. He was too careful, how could there be an ambush here.

"You should be careful." Zhang Jaw had no other choice, the army had already arrived here, and he had no other choice.

Wang Lin led hundreds of soldiers into Ziwu Mountain.

"General, can you go up the mountain to investigate?"

Du Bo, who is familiar with the essentials of exploring the road, asked Wang Lin, who led the team.

"There is no need to waste time. There should be no ambush here. General Zhang is too cautious. I will go back and tell the army to go to Lu County quickly." Wang Lin said without hesitation, and then took people back to report.

"General, I've finished my investigation. There should be no ambushes here. You can pass!" Not long after, Wang Lin brought someone back to report to Zhang Jaw.

"Order! The army passes through this place quickly, without any stop!" Zhang Jai saw that Wang Lin had returned safely.

"General, this place is very quiet, there will be no ambushes, the general is too careless!" Wang Lin who entered Ziwu Mountain saw Zhang Jaw looking around nervously, Wang Lin said to Zhang Jaw lightly.

"Quiet? Quiet! Not good!"

Suddenly, Zhang Jaw seemed to think of something, and immediately yelled.

"Send the order! The rear of the army has changed to the front, and leave this place quickly!" Zhang Jai immediately ordered to withdraw from Ziwu Mountain.

"kill!!!"

"boom!!!"

"kill!!"

Just as Zhang Jai's army started to retreat, there were shouts of killing everywhere in the mountain, and feather arrows fell into Zhang Jaw's army.

"Don't panic, the shield soldiers defend left and right, the brigade retreats immediately!" Zhang Jai immediately reorganized the team and continued to retreat outside the mountain.

Chen Ziming's method of training troops had a sudden effect, and the strict military discipline allowed the army to quickly re-line up, and there was no confusion or individual escape.

Moreover, each of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses often held actual combat exercises, and for ambushes, they focused on taking care of the target. Therefore, after Zhang Jaw's soldiers and horses were hit by an ambush, they quickly realized that it was best to act against an ambush.

"General, I will lead the people to block the ambush, and the general will lead the army to retreat quickly!" Wang Lin saw that there was really an ambush here, and it was because of his carelessness that Zhang Jaw's army was ambushed. He was very depressed at first, and then he gritted his teeth. Think of a way to save it.

"No, there are so many ambush soldiers, there is no way out!" Why didn't Zhang Jai know that leaving a team to stop the ambush soldiers was the best way, but he also knew that it was impossible for the remaining people to get out alive.

"General, this defeat is all my fault. I should fight to the death to redeem it, and the army is not yet in ambush, so I can retreat completely. General, I am going!" Wang Lin finished speaking, before opening his jaw to agree. , turned around and led a group of soldiers to rush towards the ambushing soldiers who were chasing.

"withdraw!!!"

Zhang Jaw is helpless, the matter has come to this point, he can only retreat quickly, there are too many ambushes, if they stay, they can only be annihilated.

"kill!!"

"We shall repay the lord with death!"

The 500 soldiers led by Wang Lin set up a spear array to block the ambush soldiers rushing down the mountain. More than [-] soldiers knew that they would die, and none of them flinched. They gritted their teeth and stood shoulder to shoulder in three rows, with their spears forward Waiting for death to come.
