Warriors

As he said, he tightened his clothes and swept the snowflakes off his body, but he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly said to Zhao Zhou: "Sir, when the snow melts, the army is going to Wancheng, gather the soldiers there." The territory of the Han Dynasty, add more people to the Holy One!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he bowed in the direction of Xu Du.

After the etiquette was over, he whispered to Zhao Zhou: "Sir, you have asked me to pay more attention to the brave people from all over the world. This time, I also found out that there is a famous general in Wancheng called Zhang Xiu, known as the Northern Spear King." I don’t know, will you go to Wancheng with the army this time, or guard Xudu?”

Zhao Zhou was going to fight with him, and Cao Cao was very happy, feeling that he was safe and secure.When the soldiers saw Zhao Zhou, their morale was greatly boosted, and they felt that this battle must be won!

But Zhao Zhou stayed behind in Xudu, and Cao Cao was even more at ease when he went out to fight, knowing that there would be no worries in the rear.The soldiers also killed the enemy with a deep heart, without thinking about it.

It can be said that Zhao Zhou is the cornerstone of Cao Jun no matter whether he is going on an expedition or guarding!

"Zhang Xiu?" When Zhao Zhou heard this person's name, he looked at Dian Wei who was wrapping snowballs in the snow, thought for a while, nodded to Cao Cao, and said, "I also heard that this person is very good at marksmanship, so I thought about it a long time ago." Ask one or two, let's distinguish between life and death."

Chapter 27 Use all tricks and kill Zhang Xiu!

Rusty lolo——

A heavy snow fell in just half a day.

As Cao Cao returned to the barracks, Zhao Zhou continued to practice martial arts and strength. At night, the dark clouds dispersed and the moon appeared.

After that, the days gradually cleared up, and the falling snow gradually melted and seeped into the soil, or turned into ice, which was a little slippery.

in a month.

In [-], at the end of the first month.

In the first half of spring, the temperature rises, and the permafrost becomes soft and firm.

Cao Cao set off with an army of tens of thousands.

Zhao Zhou also rushed back from the river and sat in front of the army with Cao Cao.

And the distance between Xudu and Wancheng is more than 300 miles.

In order to surprise Cao Cao, he listened to the opinions of Guo Jia and others, and ordered the army to move as fast as possible.

But there is also a limit soon, the premise is that when they can reach Wancheng, the combat capabilities of the soldiers are preserved.

However, when the soldiers learned that Zhao Zhou went out with them, their morale was greatly boosted.

The lieutenants and generals of the former army, the middle army, and the rear army received the military order, saying that they were running fast, and on the first day they became trots.

"Sir, follow me into battle, Cao Sikong has an order to march quickly!"

Cao Ren from the former army roared, and was the first to dismount and trot. Those who didn't want to trot saw their companions and generals running, so they quickly followed.

But they didn't run very fast, because Cao Cao was afraid that they would run into an ambush on the road, and the soldiers would be exhausted, and they would be defeated in one blow, so they limited themselves to ten steps per breath, which is about three steps per second.

Not only that, Cao Cao also ordered the path-finding soldiers to separate out more people and ride horses to explore the front.

"General Cao said, Marquis Wu will go out with us! This battle must be fought well!" The lieutenant of the Chinese army saw the front army open the gap, and ordered to hear the word "Marquis Wu" , and then the excited soldiers jogged to keep up, gradually tidying up the team.

The rear army marched quickly to protect the luggage.

Cao Cao left Xiahou Dun to guard just in case.

that day.

The army drove more than 200 miles and recovered its strength that night.

On the second day, because it was close to Wancheng, the army changed to rush.

on that night.

The army directly arrived near Wancheng and set up camp.

It can be said that soldiers are expensive and fast!The distance of three hundred miles was arrived in two days with infantry.

The rear army set up camp in Weishui to support the former Chinese army at any time.

"Eat! When you are full, you can go to battle and kill the enemy!"

Here, the soldiers of the former Chinese army finished setting up the tents, and under Cao Cao's order, they ate meat and drank some shochu.

There is no taboo about the firelight for cooking and heating. It surrounds the three sides of Wancheng, and it is for Zhang Xiu and the others to see it.Let them think that Cao Cao wanted to take advantage of "soldiers are precious and fast", and when the soldiers were full, he attacked the city overnight before the guards of Wancheng could react, catching them by surprise.

But in fact, the soldiers need to recover their strength.

The main purpose of Cao Cao's unobstructed flames was to make Wancheng's minds tense and panic because they "won't know if Cao Jun is going to attack the city", and to see if anyone would escape from the other side that had never been surrounded by the army.

Similarly, Zhang Xiu and the others did not react.

It was only in the reflection of Cao Jun's fire in the night that Zhang Xiu and the others knew that Cao Cao's army was approaching the city!Besieged on three sides!

"The new year has just passed, how could Cao Cao attack in the first month?"

The night was even later, on the wall of Wancheng.

Zhang Xiu, who learned of Cao Cao's attack, was dressed in armor and had an ugly face. His fingers holding the weapon were turning white, as if he had been blown by the cold winter wind, or frightened by the burning fires that stretched for miles outside the city. .

"Are they going to attack the city..." It wasn't just him, the soldiers guarding the city Wancheng looked at each other, also worried, preparing all kinds of rolling stones and logs in a panic, and ran to each other, waking up the soldiers who were still sleeping .

"Looking at the number of Cao's army, there are at least [-] people. The general should think twice..." Among them, there was a counselor beside Zhang Xiu. Seeing the flames in the distance, his expression was also erratic, and he didn't know what was on his mind.

"Mr. Wenhe!" Seeing the counselor bowing his head in thought, Zhang Xiu also bowed his hands, trying to find a way to defeat the enemy.

But he didn't want this counselor, that is, Jia Xu raised his head and shook his head suddenly, avoiding the nearby soldiers who were panicking and preparing to roll the log, and said softly to Zhang Xiu: "I can only surrender."

"drop?"

Zhang Xiu was not happy when he heard the words, and was about to say more. Jia Xu said again: "Our army has just passed the end of the year, and the morale of the army is not stable. If you come to the battle, I am afraid that the army will be defeated!"

As Jia Xu said, he pointed to Cao Jun, who was vaguely heard shouting a mile away, and said, "The morale of Cao Jun is so high that our army will be defeated even if we rely on the advantage of defending the city." In the disaster of the city, there will be no one out of ten soldiers. Why don't we take advantage of the war and vote for Cao Cao, and take Cao Cao's past few years as a lesson, we will have no worries, and Wancheng is still the general's."

Jia Xu finished speaking out of self-preservation strategy, stopped talking, clasped her hands and listened to Zhang Xiu's answer quietly.

"Okay..." Zhang Xiu sighed after hearing this, and ordered the gates of the city to be opened wide amidst the soldiers' expressions of joy for survival, or suffocation and annoyance.

But he led dozens of personal guards and went to Cao Cao's camp in person, expressing his intention to surrender.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he learned that he also entertained Zhang Xiu's generals in the big tent, and that Wancheng was obtained without sacrificing the lives of the soldiers. Wancheng was also allowed to be guarded by Zhang Xiu.

"Zhang Xiu has surrendered..." Zhao Zhou was at the side of the big tent, did not go in to discuss matters, and listened to their conversation.

After stopping for a while, I heard Zhang Xiu's words in the tent were sincere, and it was also because I thought that Zhang Xiu was a surrendered general. I don't have any rebellious thoughts at the moment. Killing it will cause bad influence, and the gain outweighs the loss, so I also left .

"Wait to go to Wancheng alone at night to attack and kill, or wait for Zhang Xiu to show his tricks, and then kill him with his fists." Zhao Zhou thought about it, and lived next to the big tent, waiting for Zhang Xiu to come out after the banquet.
