In Chinese customs, starting from the day the deceased dies, relatives and friends pay homage every seven days, arrange wine, food, and burn incense to worship, and invite Taoist priests and monks to pray for the soul of the deceased, seven times in total. This is called "burning seven!" ¡¯
When fighting on the battlefield and the military situation is raging, everything can only be simplified. When ordinary soldiers die, they just dig a hole and bury them. If a high-ranking general dies in battle, they only pay tribute for seven days. Liu Bei agreed not to send troops within seven days. Just follow the ancient etiquette!
The problem is that Cao Cao is a traitor in troubled times, with a cunning heart and unscrupulous tactics to achieve success. How can he abide by the seven-day agreement? On the second day of the memorial ceremony, Cao Cao secretly ordered all ministries:
"Conceal your whereabouts, move forward slowly, advance to the vicinity of Laojun Peak, prepare to raid Liu Bei's camp, and send out many rangers to conduct a detailed investigation of the situation of the Jingzhou Army to see if any changes have occurred!"
Soon news came back saying: 'The Jingzhou Army is stationed on Laojun Peak, building forts, digging trenches, and constantly strengthening the camp. There are soldiers and horses coming in and out day and night. It seems that they have increased their troops on a large scale! ¡¯
"Liu Bei has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but he dares to openly challenge me and shout for a fight to the death. There must be deception in it. Could it be that Xiangyang-Liu Biao has sent more reinforcements?"
After hearing the news, Cao Cao was quite surprised. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to go there in person to check the reality of Liu Bei's military camp!
In this way, Cao Cao took several counselors and hundreds of tiger and leopard riders, sneaked out of the camp, climbed to a nearby high hill, and took a peek at the situation on Laojun Peak. One jump!
¡°On Laojun Peak, I saw trenches criss-crossing, barriers clearly defined, flags flying, figures swaying, drums and trumpets sounding one after another, vaguely forming a large formation, but I couldn¡¯t name it
"It's strange, I have never seen such a strange formation in my entire life as a soldier. I can see the cold wind and rain from afar, and the blurry river and man from up close, but I have no clue at all!"
"Such a formation is unheard of. There must be a genius in Liu Bei's army. I heard that Zhuge Kongming was knowledgeable and talented and the best at practicing formations. Could it be his handiwork?"
"Before the situation is clear, it is best not to act rashly, lest you fall into an ambush by the enemy, which will be self-defeating!"
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Cao Cao and several counselors are all well-educated in military literature and have studied formations. But is it the formation laid out by the Jingzhou Army?
The two dragons emerging from the water formation, the three talents formation of heaven and earth, the seven-star Beidou formation, the eight-door golden lock formation all seem to have a little shadow, but if you look closely, they are not the same, which is really confusing!
People will instinctively feel fear towards unfamiliar things. Cao Cao decisively ordered: 'Stay where you are and do not attack Laojun Peak for the time being. At the same time, beware of sneak attacks by the Jingzhou Army! ¡¯
Although a formation is powerful, it cannot determine the outcome of the war. What really worries Cao Cao is the change in the opponent's military strength. There are dense camps on Laojun Peak, with cowhide tents sitting next to each other, with at least more than 100,000 troops!
The Nanyang County under Liu Bei's control only had 50,000 to 60,000 defenders. Now there are 100,000 troops, indicating that Liu Biao has sent additional reinforcements. Moreover, in the dense forests on both sides of Laojun Peak, there are still men and horses lurking in ambush, indicating that the opponent's troops are more than 100,000. Ten thousand!
Cao¡¯s army went south in three groups. The Chinese army was the main force, with about 200,000 troops. They had suffered two defeats in a row and lost more than 50,000 people. The remaining troops were already less than 200,000!
According to the rules of war, the attacking side must have three times more troops than the defending side in order to have a chance of winning. However, Cao Jun has no strength advantage. If he launches an attack forcefully, the victory or defeat may be unpredictable. Even if he wins by chance, he will have to win. Most of the troops and horses were lost!
If all Cao Jun¡¯s troops are wasted on Laojun Peak, how can we capture the rest of the cities in Jingzhou? How should we respond when Jiangdong, Hanzhong, and Yizhou take the opportunity to send troops after their own vitality is seriously injured?
Considering all the serious consequences, Cao Cao made a decisive decision to cancel the original sneak attack plan. To deal with Liu Bei who had become a climate, he could only outsmart and not fight head-on!
"Liu Bei's military camp seems to be heavily fortified, but it feels a bit powerless. Could it be that he is trying to make things up? The Prime Minister can send a team of troops to sneak attack and test the strength of the enemy camp!"
Cheng Yu inspected it for a long time and came up with a vicious plan, which was to use a whole army to test the situation of Liu Bei's camp. If he won, he could capture Laojun Peak and then attack Wancheng. If he lost, he would only lose a few thousand lives. Regarding the overall situation of the battlefield, Cheng Yu Lossless!
"There is a seven-day agreement not to use sword force between me and the big-eared thief. How can I ruin my reputation just for a test?"
??The ancients said: If a person has no faith, he will not be established, and if a business is not trustworthy, it will not prosper. If I break my faith with others, how can I make the heroes from all over the world surrender? How can I give orders?What about next? "
As a traitor, Cao Cao has a face thicker than the city wall. He doesn't mind using his reputation to exchange for a big victory. This is called a person who achieves great things by not sticking to trivial matters!
However, this victory must be big enough to make the traitor make sacrifices. If it can annihilate the enemy and cut off Liu Bei's head, even if Cao Cao's face is thrown to the ground and allowed to be trampled by thousands of troops, it doesn't matter. Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, just wanted to survive , but I also used urine escape!
But a mere military test is not worth destroying credibility. Cao Cao is the Duke of Wei, the uncrowned king, and the regent and prime minister of the Han Dynasty. How can he be so shameless?
Cao Cao¡¯s new plan is to abide by the seven-day agreement, then line up the entire army at the foot of Laojun Peak, lure Liu Bei¡¯s army down the mountain, and use the superiority of troops to win in the field. That way, there will be greater certainty!
"Go back to camp for now, and in a few days, we will fight to the death with the big-eared thief!"
The day of the decisive battle arrived. In the early morning of this day, two hundred thousand Cao Jun came out in full force and formed a formation below Laojun Peak I saw people like tigers, horses like dragons, and the sound of war drums and shouts of killing shook the heaven and earth!
Wearing golden armor and riding a horse with yellow flying lightning claws, surrounded by a group of generals, Cao Cao stood at the front of the formation. He was really like stars over the moon. He was extremely majestic!
Logically speaking, since Cao Jun came to challenge, Liu Beijun should respond. Even if he did not dare to go down the mountain for a decisive battle, at least send one of his generals out to fight for a few rounds in front of the formation!
To take a step back, the generals would not dare to send them out. At least they would show their heads on the mountain and shout a few times. This is called losing the formation without losing!
But a strange thing happened. Cao Jun beat his war drums wildly, shouted loudly, and constantly launched provocations. However, there must be no movement in the camp on the mountain. Only countless flags were fluttering and not a single figure was seen walking around. What does this mean?
"What a cunning big-eared thief. Are you trying to use a trick to deplete the morale of our army? Where are the scolding soldiers?"
Seeing that the provocation was useless, Cao Cao waved his riding whip and sent out hundreds of scolding fighters. They were all strong and powerful guys who could curse people a hundred times without repeating them!
"Liu Xuande¡ª¡ªyou claim to be a clan member of the Han Dynasty, but in fact you have no basis for it. Prince Jing of Zhongshan has more than a hundred children. Who knows whose bastard you are?"
"Big-eared thief - he has lost countless battles in his life. He can only run away to survive. He doesn't even want his own woman. How many wives do you have?"
¡°Young man who weaves mats and sells shoes¡ª¡ªmy uncle¡¯s boots happened to be broken. Please quickly light up your skills and go down the mountain to knit a pair of straw sandals!¡±
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Hundreds of scolded hands, turning Liu Bei's life, record, and family all the bottom, and scolded for more than two hours.
"Where is Xu Gongming? He is leading five thousand troops as a vanguard to test the strength of the enemy's army!"
"Promise!¡ª¡ªSoldiers, follow me!"
After staying up until noon, Cao Cao finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to send a group of people to test the situation on the mountain to see what tricks Liu Bei and Xu Shu were up to!
Xu Huang responded and led his 5,000 men to attack Laojun Peak The soldiers filled trenches, removed antlers, and climbed over fences. The progress was extremely fast, and they did not encounter any resistance. Only a few unlucky guys fell in. In a trap!
Facing the rapidly advancing vanguard, Cao Cao was not only unhappy, but his face was as white as paper, and he felt ashamed of being teased, because he had a premonition that there might be an empty camp on the mountain!
"There is no one in the enemy camp not a soul, only a wooden box!"
Unfortunately, Cao Cao's premonition came true. There was really an empty camp on the mountain. Xu Huang led his people to rush up the mountainside. They didn't encounter any enemy troops. There were only tents, flags, and scarecrows everywhere Liu Bei's army had already withdrawn. !
The officers and soldiers of Cao's army searched carefully, but still found no soldiers from Jingzhou. Instead, they found a small wooden box in the Chinese army's tent, with several words written on it: Please open it personally, Prime Minister!
The soldiers did not dare to neglect, and quickly handed over the wooden box layer by layer, and finally it was in the hands of Cao Cao. When he opened it, he almost made Cao Cao angry. There was a note inside "Cao Amo, you have been fooled!" (Remember! Website address: www.hlnovel.com
