Chapter 175 Chapter 26 Tu Shu Divides Han Sui (11)

Cao Cao leaned over and pulled out the arrow, a stream of blood gushed out, Qinglu struggled a few times, and then died; he called Xu Huangti again, and they went out of the forest together.Xu Huang praised Cao Cao's arrow skills again. Cao Cao smiled and said, "If I succeed in competing for the world, General Xu will not be too late to praise him; wouldn't it be too early to praise him now?" .Two soldiers said: General Xiahou had already left the forest, and suddenly he saw a horse riding a horse from Xiliang, looking west and galloping wildly, and he had already chased after him.

Cao Cao and Xu Huang looked at each other without saying a word, waiting for Xia Houyuan to turn around.After a while, Xia Houyuan came back covered in snow, dismounted from his horse, and exhaled steam from his mouth, saying: "The Qiang horse is healthy, let him get away. However, there is something else to gain." After speaking, he dragged the horse from the saddle. The next Gazelle. Cao Cao pondered for a while, and seemed to have gained something, and said with a smile: "I don't think I have gained anything else, but what I have achieved. Go back to the camp immediately, I have something to say."

That night, Cao Cao and the two generals gathered in the camp.The soldiers have already asked the camp cook to clean the deer and sheep, stew and burn them, and put them on the record.The three drank according to the case, shouting happily. After being dazzled and full of confidence, Cao Cao drank another cup and said, "I thought about it all afternoon, and I thought I could not only defeat Yang Qiu, but also wipe out Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Han Sui and Liang Xing in one fell swoop!" Xia Houyuan held a deer leg in his hand, and asked, "Could it be that the Prime Minister has put this big plan on the Xiben Qiang horse?"

Cao Cao was very happy: "General Xiahou has improved again. Does Xu Huang know what my intentions are?" Xu Huang smiled and said, "I have fought with my lord for many years, how can I not know my lord's intentions? I know that the prime minister guessed that the Xiben Qiang horse was ordered by Yang Qiu to go to Ma Chao and Han Sui in Longshang to ask for help. I have already checked, There are no other flying cavalry out of the city today. If it is not bad, there will be another Qiang horse tomorrow, and they will go to Feng Yi and Hanzhong to seek help from Liang Xing and Cheng Yin."

Cao Cao ordered his servants to fill three cups, and drank it with the two of them. He said with a smile, "It is really a blessing for Meng De to have a general like you who has both civil and military skills! You can order it tomorrow, but seeing a flying horse standing out in Anding City, you can only let it go." Pretend to pursue and let him go. Yang Qiu must want to make Ma Chao and Liang Xing attack our army, so we will give him a trick and another battle!" Xia Houyuan said: "Cheng Yin has just voted for Zhang Lu, and Liu Bei is quite interested in Hanzhong recently. It is estimated that Zhang Lu will fight Liu Bei and will not send troops to Cheng Yin to attack. I intend to use troops for this campaign. The main elite troops can be mainly used to deal with Ma Chao and Liang Xing. The enemy army, Cheng Yin's department, just keep a little surveillance."

Cao Cao agreed.The three of them discussed how to go back to Chang'an to fetch reinforcements, etc. They drank until everyone was a little bit smug, and then they all went back to the camp to rest. On the second day, as expected, a Qiang horse rushed out of the city gate and galloped in the direction of Feng Yi.Cao Jun pretended to yell, but did not chase after him.Zhai Zhong watched from the city wall, but he didn't suspect anything. Afterwards, no Qiang horses were seen fleeing again.Therefore, Cao Cao and others released Cheng Yin and focused on dealing with the enemies of Liangzhou and Feng Yi.

Yiqi saw at a glance that the time was approaching the end of October. On this day, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Ding Fei, and local generals Jiang Xu and Yang Fu led an army of 20,000 troops. Following Cao Cao's urgent order, they rushed to Anding with grain and grass, and fought with Cao Cao. meet. Yang Qiu and Liu Taibu heard the noise of people and horses outside the city in the hall, and thought it was the arrival of reinforcements, they were just wondering because it had been agreed that the two reinforcements would not attack until November 1st, even if they entered Anding earlier In the territory, the soldiers should also stay still, and they can only approach the city at night.The two looked at each other, and a feeling of ominousness suddenly came to their hearts.

The two hurriedly rode their horses to the city gate and went up to the tower. When they saw it, they cried out loudly.It turned out that Ma Chao and Liang Xingchu had sent Mi Ma back to the letter a few days ago, agreeing to attack Cao Cao on time according to Yang Qiu and Tai Bu's plan.But at this time, Cao Cao's favorite generals Xu Chu, Zhang Liao and others came.It was only one day before Ma Chao and Liang Xing attacked.At this time, it was too late to notify the two soldiers and horses.Liu Taibu couldn't help but sighed: "Painting a tiger is not an anti-dog. Unexpectedly, attacking Cao Cao turned into a trap!"

Yang Qiu also said: "It's a pity that it's too late to regret. Now Chang'an is empty, otherwise, I can ask Cheng Yin to lead Zhang Lu's army to attack the empty city of Chang'an." Sighing for a while, he ordered the elite hussars to protrude from the four gates, and tried to inform the reinforcements that the situation had changed.But at this time Cao Cao had already issued a strict order that if any of the sects let go of the soldiers and horses who broke out, they would all be executed.Therefore, there is no one who can get out of stability.In this way, Yang and Liu became the shackles in the urn.

I saw the next day, November 1st.Yang Qiu and Tai Bu watched on the city wall and saw that Cao's army had set up their battle formations; after watching, they still had nothing to do, they only hoped that the day would last as long as possible.However, the more this is the case, the faster the time passes, as if it didn’t take long, the sky turned dark—in fact, it’s already the middle of winter, the days are short and the nights are long, the two of them are so attached to each other, they feel that the day has suddenly shortened . At the beginning of Haishi, the two went up to the city tower again, and saw that Cao Ying was ready, there was no sound, and they looked defenseless.Seeing this, Yang Qiu was suddenly blessed, and shouted: "Ma and Liang are saved!"

Tai Bu asked anxiously, his lips trembling: "Why, how do you see it?" Yang Qiu said with a smile: "If the armies of Ma Chao and Liang Xing came at the same time at Zishi, the defenders in our city must pretend to be as usual in order not to make Cao Cao suspicious. But once the reinforcements see the bright lights on our city wall and the drums and music in the sky, they will know something is wrong, so they will not rashly attack Cao Jun. In this way, although Ma Chao and Liang Xing cannot be warned in advance, it can also make them see the opportunity , so as not to be unprepared, the whole army will be wiped out!" Taibu suddenly realized, and laughed loudly: "It's just that it's cheaper for Cao Cao!" Then he ordered all the troops to light up lights on the west gate, beat drums and blow horns as a warning. 172 Cao Cao was drinking in the camp with Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Xia Houyuan, Xu Huang, Ding Fei, Jiang Xu, Yang Fu and other seven generals.In Anding City, the watchtowers at the four gates are brightly lit, bright as day, and soldiers are crowded; Yang Qiu and Liu Taibu are standing on top of each other, complacent. Cao Cao laughed unconsciously and said, "What a Yang Qiu, he has such a plan!" Then he turned to the generals and said, "However, how can he count against me? I didn't know when Ma Chao, Han Sui and Liang Xing would come. Attacking our army, we can only take precautions at all times, but Yang Qiu was impatient, and before warning his reinforcements, he leaked the secret to me: tonight, Ma Chao and Liang Xing will arrive." All the generals feel reasonable.Ding Fei said: "Prime Minister, why don't you just follow the plan and come here to hear each other with bright lights and drums and horns? When his reinforcements arrive, he sees that there is no difference between the upper part of the city and the lower part of the city, and there are soldiers from our army scolding and challenging. At the same time, call out two more men and horses to lie on the way Ma Chao and Liang Xing must pass, and let them go first; when Ma Chao and Liang Xing lead the army to attack our camp, our army can pretend to be caught off guard. Ma Chao, Liang Xing Liang's army will slacken, I will subdue the army and return to the horse to kill, where is the life of Ma Chao and Liang Xing?"
