Chapter five hundred and seventy-two tit for tat, each with their own plans
On the mountain in the distance, Cao Cao suddenly frowned and looked at the gate to the north of Liu Qi's military camp.
As the sky became darker, the vision on the battlefield began to gradually become darker, and because the sounds in the fighting field were extremely messy, Cao Cao still suddenly captured a trace of information.
"No, Cao is careless!" Cao Cao clapped his hands heavily and said in surprise: "It's not too much for a moment, but Liu Boyu actually made me profit with his cavalry!"
After saying that, Cao Cao turned his head quickly and shouted: "Call Wei Zi quickly to see me!"
Wei Zi was one of Cao Cao's most trusted generals. He was also the benefactor who had spent all his family's wealth to help Cao Cao gain a basic foundation in Chenliu.
In history, Wei Zi followed Cao Cao to participate in the Battle of Xingyang, which was his right-hand man. Unfortunately, Xu Rong's attack in the battle of Xingyang was too fierce, which caused the benefactor who helped Cao Cao to invade the matter to be killed and he was not lucky to see how Cao Cao accomplished great things.
But in this time and space, because the clan alliance went north, the Battle of Xingyang did not happen, and Wei Zi left his life.
When he was young, he saw a man of the same age as Cao Cao and a heroic look on his face strode to Cao Cao.
"Meng De, what's the matter with me?"
Cao Cao and Wei Zi are like brothers, very familiar.
He grabbed Wei Zi's hand and said, "Brother, today is not very good. I'm afraid that Liu Qi will calculate. There is a roar of horse hooves in the north of his camp. I think it was Liu Boyu who deliberately hid his back. Now he suddenly attacked. I'm afraid that Yuan Rang will not support him. There are tiger and leopard cavalry at the foot of the mountain. Brother can lead a tiger and leopard cavalry to the north of Liu Boyu's camp to rescue Yuan Rang. Be sure not to let him get into trouble."
Wei Zi had a good personal relationship with Xiahou Dun on weekdays. After hearing Cao Cao's words, he naturally did not dare to neglect. He bowed and said, "Don't worry, I will take people here now, and I will definitely not let Yuan Gang get into trouble."
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave, but listened to the opera Zhong shouting at him from behind, "Wei Jun only needs to lead half of the tiger and leopard cavalry to go... Remember, let each knight strike two torches before leaving Shanli!"
Wei Zi looked at Xi Zhong in surprise, and then looked at Cao Cao again.
"Watch two torches, the knight also needs to control a horse. How can he hit two torches? It's urgent now!"
But Cao Cao nodded and signaled him to do what Xi Zhicai said.
Seeing that Cao Cao agreed, Wei Zi had to accept the order.
After Wei Zi left, he saw Cao Cao looking at Xi Zhong and said in confusion: "Why did you only ask Brother Wei to lead half of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to rescue him?"
Xi Zhicai narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Ming should not be distracted because of a temporary urgent situation. Xiahou Gong is in crisis at this moment. Wei Jun goes to rescue him. It is hard to assert whether he can save him. However, Ming should not abandon all his people and let the other party take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity."
Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this.
But when I listened to Xi Zhicai, he continued: "Ming Gong arranged the tiger and leopard cavalry here at the beginning, what's the matter?"
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes: "Of course, it is to lead Liu Boyu here. The so-called capturing the thief and capturing the king. If Liu Boyu knew that Cao was here, he might drive his troops out of our camp to capture Cao. I could use the tiger and leopard cavalry to ambush him here... It's a pity that this thief is so deceiving, making him trapped... He just can't come out no matter what he says."
Xi Zhong smiled and said, "It is very difficult for Liu Boyu to seduce him by a deceitful person, but not everyone is Liu Boyu, and it is hard for Ming Gong to forget it. In addition to Liu Qi, there are two other big villages here. Those among them may not have noticed it. It is not a wise move for Ming Gong to send all the tiger and leopard cavalry to save Duke Xiahou at this time."
What a smart person Cao Cao was, after listening to the words of Yu Zhong, he suddenly realized.
He slowly turned his head and looked at Cai Mao’s military camp in the distance.
...
At the same time, in Cai Mao's camp, the scouts had already reported the situation on the battlefield to Cai Mao.
Cai Mao was fully armed and kept listening to the reports of his scouts, and his heart couldn't help but feel itchy.
Among the three camps, he was the only one of them who was not attacked.
According to the scout's report, Huang Zhong severely injured Xiahou Yuan and was then dragged by Le Jin. Taishi Ci carefully guarded the camp and prevented Yu Jin from taking half a step into the camp.
Dian Wei was seriously injured, but Huang Xu defeated Cao Hong with a crossbow formation.
But Cao Ren and Cao Hong have always had the advantage, suppressing the Jingzhou army.
Now even Liu Qi has taken the opportunity to fight Xiahou Dun himself.
The last time Cai Mao was defeated by Cao Cao several times in Nanyang, he was completely defeated.
Now he has established a village with Liu Qi here, and he really wants to take the opportunity to defeat Cao's army and find his face.
Even though he and Cao Cao were old acquaintances, there was no father and son on the battlefield, let alone a friend when he was a teenager.
But unfortunately, the military order given to him by Liu Qi was to guard the camp.
Just guard it, but for some reason, Cao Bing just didn't come to attack him. Instead, he fought with Liu Qi, Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci and others.
Cai Mao's hand felt very thorny at this moment.
"Report!" Just as Cai Mao was thinking about it, a scout who found out the news came to report.
"speak!"
"Reported to General Zhonglang, from the east mountain, a general led a large group of cavalry toward Liu Envoy's camp. Looking at the direction, it seemed to be heading for Liu Envoy's command of the cavalry!"
Cai Mao got the news immediately when Liu Qi used cavalry to fight Xiahou Dun.
Cao Cao also knew about the battle situation in Shanli not far away.
But Cai Mao still has certain military talents. Even if he knew where Cao Cao was, he would not dare to act rashly. First, Liu Qi had issued a military order to himself to prevent him from acting rashly. Second, as the head commander of the enemy, Cao Cao could not have strong troops around other Shanli.
Moreover, before the battle, Cai Mao probably knew that Cao Cao led half of the most elite tiger and leopard cavalry to come here from Yanzhou.
Half of the tiger and leopard cavalry had at least 4,000 riders, but it never appeared in this battle.
Now, Xiahou Dun is attacked by Liu Qi and is in danger. He heard that this person is a general of Cao Cao's clan. I think Cao Cao attaches great importance to him... This is to send a tiger and leopard cavalry to save him.
Cai Mao narrowed his eyes and said, "How many cavalrymen are there from Shanli to the envoy's village?"
The scout hurriedly said, "It's too dark, and my subordinates are far away. I can't see it clearly. I can only hear the sound of horse hooves stomping on the ground. I think there are at least thousands of riders."
Cai Mao said dissatisfiedly: "Thousands? One or two thousand is also you, seven or eight thousand is also you, how many thousand is it!"
The scout was in trouble now.
It was dark and far away, so it was really hard to see...
but……
"Although the subordinates did not see clearly how many cavalrymen were going to support Xiahou Dun, the cavalry each held torches, and their subordinates and colleagues also estimated that there were about three or four thousand torches up."
"A torch of four thousand..." Cai Mao began to stroke his beard and think carefully.
One horse usually carries a torch, and sometimes two horses even use one torch. If you really look at it from a distance and have more than 3,000 torches accompanying the army, then the number of people coming here should be similar to the number of torches.
In this way, in order to rescue Xiahou Dun, Cao Cao was likely to send out the last strong army!
In other words, Cao Cao's current empty side...
Cai Mao looked at Shanli in surprise, and a yearning arises in his eyes.
But at the same time, another rational voice in his heart was telling himself...
Liu Qi reminded him that he must not send troops easily at an emergency!
But is the enemy general’s current defenses empty around him? Is this an emergency?
