Chapter 364 Execution of Generals (thirteen) 5/7
Ma Xiu did underestimate Cao Peng!
How could Cao Peng be valued by Cao Cao? How could he be an ordinary person?
According to Ma Xiu's plan, he was preparing to steal the camp while Cao Peng's troops crossed Luoshui, but who expected that Cao Peng had noticed Ma Xiu's sect early... So Cao Peng pretended to go to the camp in Luoshui and led Ma Xiu to attack, and after he ambushed the troops everywhere and defeated Ma Xiu's troops in one fell swoop.
And Ma Xiu was even shot and killed by Cao Peng in the chaos!
No wonder Ma Xiu was so careless... Since Ma Teng's death, he has been following Ma Chao smoothly and has not encountered any setbacks. So Ma Xiu has become restless and has not taken it seriously, except for a few people, which has caused this murderous disaster.
After Lu Yu learned the news, he immediately responded.
On the one hand, he ordered Ma Dai to guard the county strictly, and on the other hand, he sent people to Leling for help.
Next, Cao Peng's army was approaching the county and immediately launched a fierce offensive. At the same time, Gaotang where Ma Chao was located was also attacked by Xu Xi and Mao Hui, and he could not be rescued at all. Mao Hui and Xu Xi were Cao Cao's old general. When Cao Cao killed Bian Ran, he caused a mutiny in Yanzhou. Mao Hui and Xu Xi and both rebelled against Cao Cao. Later, the rebellion in Yanzhou was pacified, and Xu Xi and Mao Hui escaped to Zang Ba.
When Guo Jia lobbies Zang Ba for surrender, Cao Cao once said that he hopes Zang Ba can give up Xu Xi and Mao Hui and the two are the heads.
But Zang Ba said to Guo Jia: The reason why I can stand on my own is because I can't do such things. Now Cao Gong values me and I shouldn't have violated his orders. But if I do this, will Cao Gong really look down on me? I heard that the monarch who is beneficial to the way of kings and domineering should tell him with righteousness, rather than forcing others to do things they don't want to do. Please forgive me for not obeying my destiny.
Guo Jia later told Cao Cao about this, and Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh: This is a matter of benevolence in the ancients, and I really admire Zang Xuangao's ability to follow it.
Therefore, Cao Cao not only forgave Xu Xi and Mao Hui, but after Zang Ba surrendered, he also appointed the two as prime ministers of Jibei and Jinan...
It is precisely because of this relationship that when Xu Xi and Mao Hui learned that Zang Ba was trapped, they even sent troops to rescue him without waiting for Man Chong's order. Ma Chao was not afraid of these two people, but he had to take some trouble to face his opponent several times his.
Ma Chao couldn't get out of the way, and Cao Peng was at the city again.
When the news reached Leling, Xu You was also shocked.
Originally, according to his idea, Ma Dai and Ma Xiu were guarding the county to the death, and they could definitely hold on until Liu Chuang broke through the plain. Unexpectedly, Ma Xiu made his own decisions, and Ma Dai failed to persuade Ma Xiu, which also caused the loss of troops and generals and greatly reduced his strength. More importantly, Xu You did not expect that Cao Peng would actually be in Qingzhou.
Xu You knew Cao Peng and also knew Cao Peng's talents.
He knew very well that if he had only relied on Ma Dai and Lu Yu, it would be difficult to withstand Cao Peng's fierce attack.
But now there is no one else in his hand to use it. Facing a tiger and wolf general like Cao Peng, a general must take action to resist it.
The only way is to notify Liu Chuang immediately and call Taishi Ci to come and face the challenge.
Just when Xu You was about to send someone to the plain, a loud voice came from outside the door: "Military advisor, I heard that the county is in danger? Why not let me go and fight Cao Peng... I remember that I had fought with this person in Guanjin and I knew him quite well."
Either our reinforcements were repelled, or he had other tricks...it must be guarded."
"Can't he be weak?"
Sun Guan couldn't help but speak, but she didn't want to attract Zang Ba's contemptuous eyes.
Yin Li smiled bitterly and said, "How could he be unable to be able to be weak in the future? Zhongtai, haven't you noticed that the trespass' company has increased a lot compared to the previous two days? I guess it must be that his subsequent reinforcements have arrived. In this case, how could he be unable to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be
"Then, what tricks does he have?"
Sun Guan's face showed dissatisfaction.
Yin Li frowned and thoughtful, and glanced at the already broken city wall beneath her. Her heart suddenly moved and her face turned pale.
"Do you still remember that there were rumors before that thieves could call the wind and rain and attract thunder?"
Zang Ba was stunned and then woke up.
He didn't really believe in the saying of "demonic magic", but he believed that Liu Chuang must have an unknown weapon in his hand. Previously, Jia Xu and Cao Peng returned from Liaodong and hurriedly passed through Taiyuan, and accidentally mentioned the name of "Tian Leihuo". At that time, Zang Ba did not take it seriously. Now, I think that it was because Jia Xu and the others went to Liaodong this time and found the secret of Tian Leihuo...
If so, wouldn’t there be thunder and fire in Liu Chuang’s hands?
That day's thunder and fire are probably the rumored "sky thunder" from the outside world!
Thinking of this, Zang Ba's heart suddenly broke out and his mind changed immediately.
"If the thief uses the magic technique, I am afraid that this plain county town will be unstoppable."
Sun Guan was also startled and nodded repeatedly, expressing his agreement. He had heard people talk about this before, and although he didn't believe it very much, he would inevitably feel uneasy.
"What should I do?"
Yin Li ignored Sun Guan and turned his eyes to Zang Ba.
"General, if this is true, the plain will not come out of the Ming Dynasty and will definitely be destroyed by the thieves.
By then, the men would have been depressed and would not have the confidence to fight him anymore. Before, the thieves used this magic technique when they captured Handan. At that time, thousands of soldiers and horses in Handan were defeated in an instant, and they could not form effective resistance at all.
if……"
Yin Li looked at Zang Ba and saw Zang Ba being pondered.
Seeing him stopping his mouth, Zang Ba frowned, "You guys, continue."
"If the thief also used magic tricks on the plain, we would have to die... Now, we should use magic tricks before we use magic tricks and forcefully break through the siege after dark. Although the thief soldiers and horses have the advantage, I think they are not enough to trap the plain to death. I have carefully observed these two words and found that although the thief's offensive was fierce, in comparison, the offensive in the west of the city is far less fierce than the other three places. I guess the thief's troops in the west of the city must be insufficient... After dark, we can break through from the west of the city, then go west along the river and cross the river from Chibei. Chibei is where Jibei is. I remember that the prime minister Mao Hui of Jibei was once the general's life, so how could he not take it in?
As long as we arrive in Jibei, we can regroup.
However, it is probably not easy to walk westward through Jibei, so you have to prepare early.”
After saying that, Yin Li looked at Zang Ba...
When he thought, Zang Ba would definitely agree with his idea. But unexpectedly, after pondering for a moment, Zang Ba suddenly smiled bitterly: "The best strategy is to be a master and straightforward plan."
