Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

Chen Deng took the pen and paper, wrote a few words on it, and then dispatched his confidants to rush all the way to Tan County.

"I report to General Cao that Xiapi City is in critical condition, and my lord wants you to lead an army back to help!"

Cao Bao took Tao Qian's letter, handed it to Zhao Yu, and said worriedly: "Xuzhou is over!"

Tan County is the seat of Donghai County. If you give up now, it means giving up the entire Donghai County.

At that time, if you want to attack again, it will not be so easy.

"General Cao, haven't Yuan Shao's reinforcements broken through the defense line of Langya Kingdom?"

Cao Bao said with a depressed face: "Zang Ba has deployed [-] troops in Kaiyang, Zhuqi, Ganyu, and Qiu counties, and Cao Shuo's fierce general Dianwei is in charge. General Yan Liang can't break through at all!"

Zhao Yu sighed, "Are we really going to give up Donghai County?"

"So what if you don't give up, if Xiapi City is breached, what's the point of us defending here!"

Zhao Yu thought for a while and said, "We can't just withdraw our troops like this. Once Zang Ba's army finds out, our army may be defeated if we take advantage of the situation and attack."

Cao Bao asked eagerly: "Do you have a good plan, sir?"

"We can sneak out of the city at night, and we don't need all the food, grass, and luggage. Before we leave, we will burn it down!"

Cao Bao raised his eyebrows and said, "Burn?"

This is an army of [-]. It is a pity that two months' food and grass have been burned like this.

But think about it again, if they bring luggage at this time, they may not be able to run to Xiapi, and they will be overtaken by Zang Ba's cavalry.

However, the actions of the two were sent to Zang Ba by the spies. Tao Qian was already at the end of his battle, and some soldiers who could not see the future secretly left the barracks and took refuge in Zang Ba.

When Zang Ba heard Xizuo's report, his face was full of ridicule, and he wanted to escape back to Xiapi?I'll have to ask my cavalry, too.

"Deputy General Tan, go and count the [-] cavalrymen and prepare [-] arrows each. Let's go hunting tonight."

"promise!"

At the end of Haishi, Zang Ba led his soldiers and left the camp quietly, and lay in ambush on Cao Bao's only way back to Xiapi.

After waiting for half an hour, Zang Ba heard the sound of horseshoes, and said in a deep voice: "Your soldiers mount their horses and wait for my command!"

Cao Bao and Zhao Yu marched with [-] soldiers, "Quick, quick, Liangcheng County is ahead!"

After Cao Bao's former army passed by, Zang Ba shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

"Puff puff!"

Countless rockets shot directly at Cao Bao's army, and the two were surprised that there was an ambush.

"Don't panic, form an array quickly!"

"Puff puff!"

The arrow was like a shooting star, illuminating the entire night sky, and Cao Bao shouted angrily: "Kill the cavalry!"

When Zang Ba saw the enemy's cavalry approaching, he led his soldiers to quickly move to the battlefield, shooting arrows around Cao Bao's army.

Zhao Yu said in horror: "General Cao, the other party wants to consume us to death, back away!"

"Quickly withdraw to Liangcheng!"

Chapter 359 Guo Jia made another trick to earn Yuan Shao's reinforcements

Cao Bao led the former army to flee to Liangcheng City. Seeing Zang Ba leading the soldiers shooting and killing the soldiers who had not yet entered the city, he was so angry that he beat his feet and chest.

"We surrender!"

"We won't fight anymore!"

"Whoa, I want to go home!"

Of Cao Bao's 1000-strong army, there were only more than 5000 left, [-] were killed, and the rest surrendered.

Zang Ba stood under the city and shouted arrogantly: "Xiong Bao, dare to go out of the city to fight alone!"

"Zang Ba, don't bully others too much!"

Cao Bao gritted his teeth angrily, and wanted to rush out of the city a few times, but was stopped by Zhao Yu. At this time, he would only be abused for going out of the city.

"Cao Bao, you can change it to a bear bag in the future. I only have five thousand soldiers and horses. You dare not go out of the city, so you just smashed your head against the city wall to death."

"Dog thief, I swear to kill you!"

"Come, come, come out of the city, grandpa, I'm standing right here, bear bag!"

"You wait for me!"

Cao Bao was about to go out of the city to fight Zang Ba to the death, but Zhao Yu hugged him desperately.

"General, don't be impulsive, we still have to support Xiapi!"

"Bear bag!"

"Bear bag!"

"Bear bag!"

Seeing that Cao Bao was not leaving the city, Zang Ba triumphantly led his soldiers and escorted more than 1 captives back to Tan County.

Zhao Yu suggested: "General Cao, Xiapi City is in danger, we need to go back as soon as possible!"

Cao Bao sighed, and said: "We only have more than 1 people left, and even including Liangcheng's defenders, there are only 5000 people. If we want to enter the city, I am afraid it will be a bit difficult!"

Zhao Yu said: "Siwu County, fifty miles east of Liangcheng, still has [-] defenders. We can also bring these soldiers over. If the crisis in Xiapi City cannot be resolved and the troops outside are dispersed, we will only be defeated one by one. .”

"Come on, go to Siwu City and ask the guards there to abandon the city to support me!"

In Xiapi City, Cao Ang replaced Guo Jia, who was a prime minister, and [-] soldiers from the city were also brought into Xiapi City. When these soldiers saw that Master Zhou Mu had been captured, they lost their rebellion.

The entire city of Xiapi has gathered an army of [-], even if Yuan Shao came out in full force, it would be impossible to capture Xiapi.

Cao Ang looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Master, what should we do next?"

Guo Jia explained: "According to the Tanma News, after Cao Bao withdrew, he was hunted down by Zang Ba all the way and retreated to Liangcheng. I'm afraid he will come to Xiapi tomorrow."

Their plan was to trick Cao Bao into the city, and then capture him in one fell swoop, but now Zang Ba has helped them, making this matter easier.

Cao Bao’s 1-strong army only has more than [-] people left. It’s not enough for the [-]-strong army in the city, but these soldiers are likely to be surrendered, so it’s not easy to kill too much .

Xiahou Dun said: "Let me lead the army to ambush halfway, and let him come and go!"

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "This is inappropriate. Tao Qian has already been captured, and they don't have much combat power. We can choose a suitable place, surround them, and persuade them to surrender."

All the civil and military people in Xuzhou were very grateful for Guo Jia's decision. These soldiers are all their Xuzhou children, and it is one person who can kill one less person.

Chen Deng said: "Twenty miles to the south of Liangcheng, there is a Sancha River. If we take advantage of Cao Bao's exit from the city and make a detour behind him, and when he crosses the river, attack him from both sides so that he has no way to retreat. Then we can go Surrender!"

Guo Jia agreed: "Yuanlong's suggestion is good, but the reason why Cao Bao didn't return to Xiapi immediately shows that he didn't have many soldiers. He seemed to call the defenders of the surrounding counties. Cao Xiu, you lead [-] soldiers and Tao Qian. Tao Shang, his son, rushed to Siwu County and persuaded the guards there to surrender."

"promise!"

"After recruiting the soldiers there, you pretend to be a soldier in the city to see if you can get in with Cao Bao's troops."

"promise!"

"Xia Houde, you lead an army of [-] and go with Cao Xiu. After the matter is completed, you wait for Cao Bao to cross the Zushui, and take the opponent's back."

"promise!"

Guo Jia looked at Zhen Yao and said with a smile, "Young Master Zhen, I have one more thing I want to trouble you with."

Zhen Yao was very surprised, this Guo Jia gave him the feeling that he had no bottom, and he always felt that this person was uneasy and kind, if he hadn't known that he intended to join Wei, Zhen Yao would have sent Jin Yiwei to kill him long ago.

Zhen Yao asked vigilantly: "What's the matter? Just say it, sir!"

"The army of Taishan County, under the leadership of Zhao Feng and Dianwei, stopped Yuan Shao's reinforcements. If we take the opportunity and accidentally miss a place, let them come in..."

Guo Jia glanced at Zhen Yao meaningfully, Zhen Yao looked confused, what do you mean?

Zhen Yao was not good at battlefield strategy, and he didn't understand Guo Jia's suggestion at all.

Chen Deng on the side explained: "Mr. Feng Xiao means that we deliberately released Yuan Shao's army, and then together with Zang Ba, wiped out this enemy army."

Zhen Yao suddenly realized, and said: "I understand, I will inform Zang Ba right now."

Guo Jia hastily dissuaded him: "Young Master Zhen, don't worry, let Yuan Long go with you, Yuan Long should know the specific method."

He was worried that Zhen Yao didn't fully understand what he meant, and if Zang Ba suddenly withdrew his defense, Yuan Shao's army might be suspicious, so it's better to be more concealed.

Zhen Yao smiled foolishly and said, "Mr. is really thoughtful."

Zhen Yao is only 15 years old this year, and he usually helps his sister Zhen Jiang manage the chamber of commerce. Where has he read any military books, this is really difficult for him.

Chapter 360 It's Terrible To Meet An Opponent Like Guo Jia

"General Cao, Siwu's guard, Wang Yuan, led [-] soldiers to support, and brought some food and grass."

"it is good!"

Cao Bao slapped his thigh and was very excited. He was worrying about food and grass now, but he didn't expect Wang Yuan to be so thoughtful.

"Let the soldiers have a full meal, and then follow me to Xiapi to support the lord!"

Zhao Yu hurriedly reminded: "General Cao, the bridge over Zushui has been demolished by Xiahou Dun's soldiers. We need a ferry."

"Then send someone to cut down trees to make a ferry!"

At noon, Cao Bao led nearly [-] troops to the bank of Zushui. Seeing that the ferry was ready, he began to prepare to cross the river!

Zhao Yu worried: "General Cao, our army crossed the river so openly, why didn't the other side intercept it?"

Cao Bao's face darkened, and he said depressedly: "Master Zhao still wants someone to attack us again?"

Zhao Yu explained: "General Cao, don't get me wrong. I'm just a little worried. Xiahou Dun should have known the news of our army's withdrawal, but the other party didn't send troops to intercept it. It really makes people wonder."

However, as soon as Zhao Yu finished speaking, an army came from Siwu's direction. Cao Bao glared at Zhao Yu angrily.

Talk about an ambush, look, there are at least 2 people here, what do you want us to do?

Zhao Yu said with a smile on his face: "General, there are no less than [-] people on the other side. Presumably there are not many troops left in Xiahou Dun's barracks. We just took the opportunity to break into the city."

Cao Bao was also overjoyed, if this was the case, then they would really be able to enter the city.

"Quick, cross the river!"

Cao Bao's army crossed the Zushui in a panic, and before they had time to regroup, Xiahou Dun led the army and rushed over.

What is the army in the city doing!

Why did Xiahoudun come here, and why didn't the soldiers and horses in the city take the opportunity to attack.

Looking at Xiahou Dun's soldiers and horses again, Cao Bao felt dizzy. Didn't he say that Xiahou Dun only had 3 people?

In addition to the intercepting soldiers behind them, there are no less than 7 people, could it be...

Cao Bao had a bad idea in his mind, that Tao Qian wouldn't surrender the whole city.

A series of questions arose in Cao Bao's mind. He really couldn't understand where so many soldiers came from.

It wasn't until Tao Qian came out of the army that Cao Bao suddenly realized that Xiapi City had fallen.

Tao Qian came to Cao Bao's army and persuaded him with kind words: "General Cao, surrender, the xiapi is over, Xuzhou is over!"

Zhao Yu looked confused. Even if Xiapi City was captured, there should be soldiers who escaped. Why didn't they receive any news?

Xiahou Dun said in a deep voice: "Our army didn't want to kill too much, so we didn't attack immediately. The two of you quickly led the army to put down their weapons, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude with the big sword in my hand."

The two looked at each other, shook their heads, and had no choice but to throw away the weapons in their hands. The state shepherd had surrendered, so there was no point in their stubborn resistance.

Unexpectedly, Xuzhou was captured by Cao Cao's men without holding on for a month.

In their view, all these crimes are the responsibility of Tao Qian and Yuan Shao. One wants to climb up to the fourth generation and three princes, and the other tries hard to get benefits from Xuzhou, which makes the whole Xuzhou extremely weak.

Cao Bao followed Xiahou Dun to Xiapi City. When he saw the flags on the city wall, he couldn't help being horrified. Why was it Wei's flag instead of Cao Cao's?

Cao Bao asked puzzledly: "General Xiahou, why do we use the flag of Wei State Cao Shuo?"

Xiahou Dun explained: "Because we have already surrendered to King Wei, the whole Yuzhou and Yanzhou now belong to Cao Shuo."

Cao Cao has already sent someone to deliver a letter, he accepted Cao Shuo's opinion, and gave up all the territory, but now that Cao Shuo is in Liaodong County, he can't reward them for the time being, and they are still under Cao Cao's command.

Cao Bao had an incredible expression on his face, so wouldn't Cao Shuo become the biggest prince of the Han Dynasty?

It's ridiculous, Liu Biao became the emperor, Liu Yan became the emperor, Dong Zhuo became the emperor, but the biggest one, Cao Shuo, only became the king.
