Xu Huang and Liu Ye came towards Wancheng. Their combat strategy was to let Zhao Yan and Zhu Ling contain Ma Di and Niu Jin in Xincheng. They concentrated their army to attack Wancheng first, and then captured Xincheng in one fell swoop.
Whether it was Wei Yan from Wancheng or Niu Jin and Ma Su from Xincheng, Xu Huang didn't take it seriously.
Wei Yan still has some reputation, but Niu Jin and Ma Su are completely unknown. And after he learned that Ma Di was the younger brother of Ma Liang, the governor of Xiangyang, he became even more disdainful. Ma Liang was just a scribe, how could Ma Di be a general? It seems that Liu Cong is really unavailable.
Although Wancheng and Xincheng have a lot of troops, as the saying goes, one general without a plan will exhaust a thousand troops! If the lord had not stopped him at the beginning, Nanyang would have broken through long ago.
But halfway through, soldiers suddenly came to report that Cao Xiu was defeated and returned, which surprised Xu Huang.
Cao Xiu and Xue Ti are generals who have fought in hundreds of battles! And the two of them are not foolhardy! Even if they were ambushed, how could five thousand troops be defeated?
Just when he was doubtful, Xu Huang was almost stunned when he saw Cao Xiu.
Cao Xiu¡¯s helmet was crooked and he was covered in blood. He was followed by only a dozen soldiers!
This is not a return from a great defeat, it is simply a complete annihilation of the entire army!
"General, the last general was ambushed and the whole army was wiped out" Cao Xiu knelt down in front of Xu Huang and Liu Ye's horses.
"Where is General Xue?"
¡°Old General Xue may have died on the battlefield after he was cut off¡¡±
"General Xue died in the battle?" Xu Huang was shocked and angry, "Cao Xiu, as a vanguard, your entire army was wiped out, but you came back. Do you know your guilt?"
"The general will finally be convicted."
"Come here, behead Cao Xiu in public!" Xu Huang shouted.
Two swordsmen and axemen came over immediately and lifted Cao Xiu up.
"General, although Cao Xiu is guilty, a war is imminent. Killing the general first will not be good for the morale of the army. I hope the general will show mercy outside the law!" Cao Chun and Cao Zhen hurriedly interceded with Cao Xiu.
"Please give me mercy, General, and let General Cao Xiu take the blame and make meritorious service!" Other generals also begged for mercy.
"General, what the generals said is reasonable. We can make Cao Xiu take the blame and perform meritorious service." Liu Ye said without losing any opportunity.
"Since the generals are begging for mercy, I will spare your life today and fight hard to take the blame!" Xu Huang was actually just showing off. Although Cao Xiu was Cao Cao's disciple, he was very popular with Cao Cao and was known as the son of the Cao family. Thousand-mile horse. Even if he was the most guilty person, Xu Huang would not dare to kill him.
"Thank you so much for not killing me, general, and thank you for your mercy, generals!"
"Cao Xiu, please tell me in detail what happened."
"No!"
When Cao Xiu explained the whole incident in detail, everyone's eyes widened.
Fire Bull Formation, an attack method that almost no one is using anymore, suddenly appears. No matter who it is, once they encounter it, they will probably be completely defeated.
And the enemy¡¯s ambush was carried out when they were retreating. Who would have thought of it?
Cao Xiu and Xue Ti were not unjustly defeated!
"General, Liu Cong allows Wei Yan to guard the important area of ??Wancheng. He is by no means a foolhardy person. We cannot take it lightly!" Liu Ye said to Xu Huang.
"What the military advisor said makes sense!" Xu Huang nodded. Now it seems that Cao Ren's defeat was not unjust. It may not be that easy to capture Nanyang quickly, so he has to work hard. "Command the army, it's getting late, camp on the spot, the troops will be sent to Wancheng tomorrow!"
"No!"
Since the new city had just been restored, there were very few people and merchants in the city, so there was no county magistrate. The cultivation of the land outside the city was directly responsible for the prefecture, while Ma Di was responsible for the taxation of merchants.
Since Xu Huang sent troops to Nanyang, Ma Di and Niu Jin have not been idle. The arrangements for defending the city have been very detailed, but they still go to check often. At the same time, a large number of scouts were sent out to explore all aspects of the situation.
A person¡¯s name is like a tree¡¯s shadow. Xu Huang is a famous general in the world!
Today, the two of them were studying the map in the county magistrate's mansion, when a scout hurriedly came to report.
"Reporting to the general, General Wei Yan led 5,000 soldiers and pulled out the vanguard of Cao's army. Xue Ti was killed by General Wei Yan. Cao Xiu only escaped with a dozen people!"
"That's great!" The two said almost at the same time.
"Submit the battle report quickly!"
"No!" The scout handed the battle report to Ma Di and turned to leave.
Ma Su and Niu Jin read the battle report carefully, unable to conceal their excitement.
"Wen Chang is really a talented general. He fought this battle beautifully. He used the Fire Bull Formation to defeat the enemy in an open area, and then set up an ambush when he retreated. Not to mention Cao Xiu and Xue Ti, even Xu Huang, I'm afraid. You will fall into the trap!¡±
"Youchang, Wen Chang's victory has been won, can we also take action?" Niu Jin's heart was hot and full of fighting spirit.
"Wentong, Zhao Yan and Zhu Ling are much more cautious than Cao Xiu. They march very slowly and are not easy to ambush!" Ma Su shook his head.
"You Chang is right. If we march at the normal speed, we should be outside the city, but we are still more than sixty miles away from the new city." After Ma Su's reminder, Niu Jin also felt that his idea was unrealistic.
"Let's wait in the city! As long as we have 10,000 soldiers and horses in the new city, Xu Huang will not dare to use any strategy except to attack Wancheng. And the walls of Wancheng are tall and strong, and there are Cui Taishou and Wen Chang, Cao Jun can't attack Any cheaper.¡±
"yes!"
The next day, Zhao Yan and Zhu Ling led five thousand soldiers and horses to the outside of the new city and set up camp about three miles away from the city wall.
Ma Su and Niu Jin were on top of the city, watching Cao Jun camp, and frowned unconsciously.
"Wentong, it seems that Zhao Yan and Zhu Ling do not intend to attack the city. The camp they have set up is conducive to defense and is impeccable."
"They just want to contain us and attack Wancheng with all their strength. But we have 10,000 soldiers and horses, and there are three exits to the new city. They can't contain their 5,000 soldiers and horses at all? What is their purpose?"
¡°I also find it strange that we should remain silent and ignore them for now.¡±
"good!"
After Xu Huang led the army to Wancheng City, he did not attack the city, and the two sides faced off.
Liu Cong and Gan Ning drove more than a hundred warships and five thousand naval troops, and arrived at Xiakou in a mighty manner.
Pang Tong led a group of civil and military officials to greet him on the shore.
Liu Cong and his wife Sun Shangxiang, accompanied by Huang Zhong, Ma Liang, Wang Can, Gan Ning and others, got off the boat and came to the shore.
"See my lord, madam!" Pang Tong and others knelt down and saluted.
"Everyone, please get up quickly!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
Everyone stood up.
"My lord, this trip to Jiangdong has been fruitful! My subordinates have received the news. Zhou Yu is so angry that he can't bear to fall ill in Chaisang after knowing that General Gan Ning defected to my lord!"
"Ha" Everyone laughed.
"Zhou Gongjin is a rare and handsome man, but it's a pity that he is too small-minded, which ultimately affects his vision and does not see far enough! Planning for one area can be said to be complete, but planning for the overall situation is not enough after all!" Liu Cong combined his two lives to treat Zhou Yu understanding, and compared him with Lu Su, and came to this conclusion.
"What the lord said is true!" Pang Tong nodded, and he believed Liu Cong's words. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
