Lushan.
Zhang Xiu's military garrison.
At the moment, Zhang Xiu is also waiting for the news.
He was not worried when he learned that more than 3000 pioneers of Cao Jun had been killed. Although the other side is fierce, but in fact, Zhang Xiu really did not put Cao Cao's vanguard in the eye.
Before Cao Jun arrived in Lushan, he was not afraid at all.
Even if Cao Jun arrived, he was not afraid.
"Newspaper!"
A soldier entered Zhang Xiu's camp and reported: "my Lord, Chen Dao and Gan Ning came back from the front line and escorted many prisoners. They have won a great victory. "
"Good!"
Zhang Xiu heard the speech and cried out.
This is the first battle between him and Cao Cao. In the first battle, he captured Cao Cao's soldiers and defeated Cao Cao's vanguard. This made a good start for the next war. It's very good.
Zhang Xiu walked out of the camp and came to the gate of the camp, waiting for Gan Ning and Chen to return in triumph.
It wasn't long. Outside the camp, there were already troops.
Chen Dao and Gan Ning came back.
The two returned with the team and soon came to the gate of the camp.
Gan Ning, looking happy, went forward and said, "my Lord, I'm lucky to have lived up to my destiny. Together with Chen Zhi, I defeated Cao's vanguard. In this war, more than 1200 people were captured and more than 1500 people of Cao army were killed. Our army has only damaged more than 600 soldiers. Besides, we captured Cao Anmin, Cao Cao's nephew. "
"Well done!"
When Zhang Xiu heard it, she cried out.
Actually captured Cao Anmin.
If you don't understand Cao Cao, you will not understand Cao Anmin's identity and importance. This man is a very valued junior of Cao Cao. He always follows Cao ang, Cao Cao's eldest son.
Zhang Xiu was once humiliated by Cao Cao and led the army to rebel, then killed Cao ang and Cao Anmin.
Now, I caught this man.
Good luck.
Zhang Xiu was happy and said, "settle down all the soldiers, and then take Cao Anmin to my camp."
"Here it is
Gan Ning was ordered, and Chen was incorporated into one.
Soon after the party entered the army, Cao Anmin was taken to the army tent.
At this time, Cao Anmin, with a withered look and pale complexion, was extremely embarrassed. His chest and back clothes, have been soaked with blood, like a blood man in general.
The rib under his right rib was not connected, and the wound on his back was not treated.
It's burning all over.
Cao Anmin's eyes fell on Zhang Xiu. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain. He said in a deep voice: "Zhang Xiu, even if you captured me and defeated three thousand vanguards of Sikong. However, your strength can't stop Sikong's army. Now, it's time for you to resist. You will lose in the end. "
Zhang Xiu said with disdain: "it's very powerful to be fierce. It's a pity that you fall into my hands. I'll decide your life and death. "
Cao Anmin snorted, very proud.
He despises Zhang Xiu.
It's just a man from Xiliang army.
Zhang Xiu saw Cao Anmin's look in her eyes and continued: "when Cao Cao attacks Lushan, I will hang you out. As long as Cao Cao attacks, I will kill you. Do you think Cao Cao will launch an offensive? "
Brush!
Cao Anmin's face changed slightly.
This is the most poisonous.
If Zhang Xiu killed him, Cao Cao would not be in any trouble.
Once the two armies want to fight, Zhang Xiu takes out Cao Anmin to threaten Cao Cao, which is the most embarrassing. If Cao Cao ordered the attack, Cao Anmin would not survive. If Cao Cao does not attack, Cao Anmin will be saved, but Cao Cao will not be able to advance.
It's impossible to attack Zhang Xiu.
Cao Anmin took a deep breath, suppressed his impetuous heart and said: "Zhang Xiu, your plan can't be successful. Sikong is wise and powerful. He always attaches great importance to the overall situation. He can't stop the army because of me. Even if I was caught, Sikong would attack. You can't stop Sikong's attack in Lushan. "
Zhang Xiu said: "I'll wait and see!"
After a pause, Zhang Xiu said: "you cao Anmin is a hero. After such a heavy injury, you can still support yourself. Unfortunately, the hero is the most sad. Take people down and take them into custody. There must be no abnormality. "
"Here it is
The soldiers were ordered to step down with Cao Anmin.
Zhang Xiu doesn't plan to change Cao Anmin's clothes or treat him.
Only in this tragic situation can Cao Cao be influenced.
Speaking of Cao Anmin's current situation, he was seriously injured, which is really miserable. But Zhang Xiu is very clear that if he is defeated, the situation will be even worse. Just as he used to be, he eventually succumbed to Cao Cao, but he didn't have any power in his hand. Finally, he was forced to death by Cao Pi.
How sad the situation is.
After Cao Anmin was taken down, Zhang Xiu called Pang Tong and Jia Xu. Then she asked Gan Ning to talk about the general situation on the battlefield and Chen Dao to talk about the pursuit.After hearing this, Zhang Xiu turns her eyes and has a plan in her heart.
He's going to take advantage of the destroyed bridge.
This is an opportunity!
Instead of explaining, Zhang Xiu looked at Pang Tong and Jia Xu and asked, "what do you think about this war?"
Pang Tong and Jia Xu were counselors.
If you have something, you should ask them and let them take the lead instead of Zhang Xiu putting forward suggestions for everything.
Pang Tong looked indifferent and said: "Lord, we are now in the ascendancy. After Cao Cao's vanguard is damaged, he will be more cautious. In the next step, he will definitely not divide his troops any more. It must be a big army going south. I don't think it's necessary to send any more troops to leave Lushan, just stay in Lushan and wait for Cao Cao to arrive. "
Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Wenhe, what do you think?"
Jia Xu said: "in fact, at the moment, there is still a move to go. This move may weaken Cao Cao again. At least, it can bring some influence to Cao Cao. "
The corner of Zhang Xiu's mouth stirred up a smile.
He has ideas, too.
Zhang Xiu asked: "how to arrange it?"
Jia Xu looked wise and said slowly: "when General Chen explained just now, he talked about the most important thing. That is the bridge body of Lianqiao, which has been cut off by Cao ang. "
"Now, you can't cross the river directly."
"It can be predicted that Cao Cao would cross the river, or make boats, or collect boats, and then cross the river by boat on a large scale. After all, Cao Cao has 30000 troops. "
"Under such a premise, if we build a dam on the upper reaches of the Shahe River and seize the right time for him to cross the river, we will burst the dam and release water. If the flood goes down, countless Cao soldiers will fall into the water. "
"Even if Cao Cao's soldiers are in the boat, there are only a few people who can keep their shape under the impact of big waves. The most important thing is that the northern soldiers are not used to going by boat. If they cross the river peacefully, it doesn't matter. But the river is rising, and under the fierce impact, there must be countless Cao soldiers falling into the water. "
"Of course, such an impact is unlikely to cause large-scale casualties of Cao's army, but at least it can weaken Cao's soldiers and hurt some of them."
Jia Xu said: "our strength is weaker than Cao Cao. If we have a chance, we should weaken each other bit by bit. When Cao Jun's strength is weak, we can launch a fatal attack. "
Zhang Xiu said with a smile, "Mr. Wenhe knows me. Just now, that's what I planned. To deal with Cao Cao, we must make use of all conditions and seize all opportunities to weaken his strength. We are not Cao Cao's opponents in a confrontation when there is a great disparity in forces. Only in this way, constantly looking for opportunities. "
Ganning Baoquan way: "Lord, the end will be willing to lead troops into the upper reaches of the Shahe River, and then build dams, flooding Cao Jun."
"Good!"
Zhang Xiu said: "xingba, it's up to you. Just be careful."
"Yes, I understand."
Gan Ning nodded solemnly.
Pang Tong turned his eyes, thought of a plan, and said: "Lord, Cao Cao is not a man to deal with. He can choose to use boats to cross the river. Similarly, he can salvage the previously sunken bridge, and then reconnect it to cross the river on the bridge. "
"Of course, no matter what, Cao Cao has to cross the river. And we all have to be ready for that. "
"I suggest that a soldier be stationed on the South Bank of the bridge. Once about half of Cao Cao's troops cross the Shahe River, we will release water upstream to break the bridge, or break the chance for the other side to cross the river. "
"Then, attack the Cao Army crossing the river."
Pang Tong said: "in this way, Cao's soldiers can also be weakened. Even if the Cao army wants to cross the Shahe River by force, when most of their troops arrive, we will retreat and then return to Lushan to defend. "
Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw and exclaimed, "Shiyuan's strategy is really good. We'll arrange everything well. It depends on the situation whether Cao Cao is in the trap or not. "
"Do your best and listen to fate."
Zhang Xiu nodded.
Immediately, he made arrangements for Jia Xu to take charge of the defense of Lushan. And he himself, with 5000 elite soldiers and 1000 cavalry of Chen Dao, went to the direction of Lianqiao again.
