Chapter 178

Zhang Xiu military camp.

The barracks had been completely set up and the fortifications were all ready.

Gan Ning was busy all the time. After everything was done, he was able to stop and take a breath. It's really necessary to prepare for defense at the moment. Gan would rather not delay.

As soon as the fortifications were finished in Ganning, the sentinel returned and reported that Cao Jun was coming quickly.

When Gan Ning learned of this, he immediately went to the big account of the Chinese army.

Seeing Zhang Xiu, Gan Ning reported: "Lord, Cao Jun has really come."

Zhang Xiu had an expectant look in her eyes and said: "the news of Luyang county must have reached Cao Cao's ears. Under such circumstances, he still insists on launching attacks. It seems that he has been defeated continuously, which makes him feel depressed and unwilling to retreat. "

Ganning said: "my Lord is wise!"

Zhang Xiu said with a light smile: "Cao Cao does not retreat. This is also our chance to defeat Cao Cao."

"Step on it! Step on

The sound of hasty steps came from outside.

But Jia Xu came.

He hurried into the camp with a dignified look on his face.

Zhang Xiu said with a smile, "what's the matter?"

Jia Xu sighed and replied, "my Lord, Ling Feng has come back from the front line. His plan of raiding Cao Cao's rear failed, and only more than 200 soldiers came back. "

The smile on Zhang Xiu's face suddenly froze.

For Zhang Xiu, whether Ling Feng wins or not is the most crucial link. As long as Ling Feng wins, he will be sure to win when he confronts with Cao Cao.

However, Ling Feng's failure in this way means that Zhang Xiu has lost the shortcut to defeat Cao Cao.

The impact is enormous.

Although Zhang Xiu said that he was lost, he soon adjusted his mind.

The other side is Cao Cao.

If you beat Cao easily, is it still Cao Cao? Even today's Cao Cao, whose strength is not strong, is only limited to Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and is not the great devil sweeping the world.

It's not easy to deal with such Cao Cao.

After Zhang Xiu's state of mind recovered, her face returned to normal. He looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, Ling Feng failed to attack Cao Cao's granary. What do you suggest?"

When Jia Xu saw that Zhang Xiu had returned to normal in a short time, he could not help admiring her.

Zhang Xiu is very human!

He lived most of his life and met a lot of people, especially when he was about to win. It is unbearable for many people to win but lose just one last step.

Zhang Xiu can adjust. He thinks it's good.

At Zhang Xiu's age, it's not easy to have such a heart and a city.

Jia Xu stroked his beard with a smile and said slowly: "in fact, it's not difficult to solve the current predicament. If Ling Feng can't attack once, he will attack again. "

"Under normal circumstances, since Ling Feng is defeated, it is impossible to attack again."

"If you take it by surprise and send someone to attack Cao Cao's granary again, you will surely get a wonderful effect. Moreover, Cao's soldiers stationed in the granary will relax their vigilance after an attack, and they don't think they will be attacked again. "

Jia Xu said: "if you fight again, you will win!"

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu was also suddenly enlightened and said, "what you said is wonderful."

He agreed with Jia Xu's analysis.

Moreover, Jia Xu's thinking is really different from that of ordinary people, and he can find a new way.

Zhang Xiu inquired: "where is Ling Feng?"

Jia Xu said, "it's just outside the camp."

Zhang Xiu said, "bring people in."

"Here it is

Jia Xu got the order and arranged it immediately.

Not long after, Ling Feng entered the camp. He had some injuries, but none of them were fatal. After he stood still, he knelt down on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and said, "please punish me for my incompetence."

Zhang xiudao said: "if I punish you, can I take Cao Cao's granary? You are at war with the Cao army. Tell us about the granary of the Cao army. Who is responsible for guarding it, and how many soldiers are there? "

Ling Feng said: "in return to my Lord, Cao Chun, the man stationed in Cao's granary, has about 2000 soldiers. The last general fought with Cao Chun, and at least more than 500 people were lost under his command. The rest of his troops would not exceed 1500. "

Zhang Xiu's cheek twitched slightly, and there was a sense of helplessness in her eyes.

Cao Chun lost more than 500 people.

Ling Feng took Cao chun to attack, but not less than 2000 people, but only more than 200 soldiers came back.

The loss is too great.

Zhang Xiu sighed: "Cao Chun has only two thousand people. Your troops are no less than him. But in this battle, you bring back only two hundred people."

Ling Feng suddenly dumb.

He didn't want to lose.

But Cao Chun is really powerful. He is far superior to him in both martial arts and military command. He can't win."Go down!"

Zhang Xiu gave an order.

"I'm going to leave in a humble position!"

Ling Feng got up and stepped down, but he was glad that he had not been punished.

Zhang Xiu looks at Ling Feng's back, but she shakes her head in her heart. His original intention is to continue to let Ling Feng lead, after all, Ling Feng is an old subordinate. He didn't want to marginalize his old subordinates and wanted to give them heavy responsibilities.

But the problem is that they are not successful and marginalized, and there is nothing they can do.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiu said, "come, please come here."

"Here it is

The soldiers have to be ordered to inform immediately.

After a while, Chen Dao entered the camp.

Zhang Xiu said directly about Ling Feng's defeat and said: "the first attack failed. I'm going to carry out the second attack. This time, you lead the troops, you take all the cavalry of Sirius camp, led by Ling Feng, and take the path. With 1500 soldiers stationed in the camp, are you sure you will win? "

Chen said: "since Ling Feng is here, is it the last general who will command the battle, or is Ling Feng in charge of commanding?"

After all, Ling Feng is a veteran.

Although Chen Dao is one of the generals in the army, it's not easy to arrange, so Zhang Xiu has to be clear.

Zhang Xiu flashed a fierce color in her eyes and said: "you are in full command of this war, he is only responsible for leading the way. If Ling Feng interferes in the war without authorization, you can do it first and then do it. "

Chen was overjoyed and said, "please rest assured that the mission will be completed. No victory, no withdrawal! "

Chen Dao has enough confidence.

He has a thousand excellent cavalry under his command. Under such circumstances, if he can't attack with cavalry, he will be a failure.

Zhang Xiuyan said: "originally, I was going to go by myself. But now Cao Cao's army is coming, I have to face Cao Cao. Otherwise, in my absence, Cao Cao might be suspicious. You have to win. "

"Please rest assured that we will complete the task," Chen said

"Go

Zhang Xiu waved her hand and said, "take the cavalry of Sirius camp and leave the camp. First go to Luyang County, retreat for a distance, and then make a detour to avoid being found by Cao Cao's Sentinel. "

Chen Dao said, "I understand your humble position."

With that, Chen Dao left.

Shortly after Chen Zhi left, some soldiers reported that Cao Cao's army was less than three miles away from the barracks.

Zhang Xiu put on his helmet and went out of the Chinese Army's tent to wait at the gate of the camp. All the soldiers in the army were in their positions and formed their own formations, making a posture of confrontation.

Not long after that, a wriggling black line appeared on the official road in the distance. As the distance gets closer, you can see the figure of Cao Jun clearly.

A big flag is flying in the wind.

There is the sound of drums and drums, soaring into the sky.

Cao Cao is full of momentum, to work hard to defeat Zhang Xiu.

Seeing Cao's style, Zhang Xiu knew that Cao Cao's plan was to make a quick decision.

Zhang Xiu will not cooperate.

Zhang Xiu in a short period of time, will not meet, will choose to defend. Although Zhang Xiu relied on continuous victory to shorten the gap with Cao Cao, the difference between the two sides is not much, but Zhang Xiu's inside information is not as deep as Cao Cao.

Zhang Xiu's troops are only 20000, but Cao Cao's troops are more than that. In Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou and other places, Cao Cao's troops are stationed.

Even if Cao Cao lost 30000 elite soldiers, he would not hurt his muscles and bones and would soon recover. But Zhang Xiu is different. If Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao meet each other, even if they win in the end, they will lose a lot.

Zhang Xiu's plan is to wait for the news of Chen Dao's victory to come back, Cao Cao's people will be in turmoil, and it will not be too late to attack Cao Cao.

The distance is still getting closer.

Soon, Cao Cao's army was stationed 150 paces away from Zhang Xiu's barracks.

Cao Cao looked calm and raised his hand.

In an instant, Cao's soldiers stopped shouting, and no one beat the drum again. The scene suddenly quieted down.

Everything is silent.

Now Cao Cao's face, with a faint smile. When he got the news from the rear, he was sure. With a wave of his hand, a soldier came up with a tea table and two seats and stopped 80 steps away from Zhang Xiuying.

Tea table and seats, quickly placed.

Cao Cao got off his horse and strode forward. Dian Wei followed him closely to protect Cao Cao's safety. Cao Cao went to the tea table, lifted his robe and sat down. He said in a loud voice, "Zhang Xiu, do you dare to come forward for a talk?"

Zhang Xiu saw Cao Cao's action and looked at Dian Wei beside Cao Cao, but she didn't think what Cao Cao wanted. He did not refuse, immediately go out, Ganning is with Zhang Xiu's side, protect Zhang Xiu's safety.

Soon, Zhang Xiu came to Cao Cao. He lifted his robe and sat down casually.

At the moment, Zhang Xiu is only one foot away from Cao Cao.

Zhang Xiu said with a smile, "Duke Cao knows my archery and martial arts. You are 80 steps away from the camp. Are you not afraid to be shot by me? Even now, you are only one foot away from me, are you not afraid of my violence? If you have Ganning to control Dianwei, I will kill you as easily as I can. "
