111 Battle of Wisdom
The so-called wheat autumn does not refer to autumn.
Cai Yong's "Monthly Order Chapter": "There are all the grains that are born in spring and ripening in autumn. Therefore, wheat is the first summer as autumn." In the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, wheat is different at the beginning. The wheat is the autumn when it is produced later. The wheat is harvested late in autumn, and the late wheat begins to harvest in midsummer. From the sickle to the grains return to the warehouse, it takes full term. The wheat is harvested until June.
The farming season has passed. The sickle has not yet been opened in Chengshi County. It shows that the officials and civilians in the city are in a panic and no one is in charge of the overall situation.
So Cao Cao set up camp under the city and ordered soldiers to go out everywhere to snatch the wheat.
"Qi reported to Duke Ming, the two uncles have opened the city to welcome him." Li Zheng, Sima, the right Sima, and Sima, Li Dian, both arrived.
As mentioned earlier, Li Gan, the captain of Zhonglei, was originally a hero of Cheng's family, and joined thousands of guests to Cao's camp. Cheng's family's property was then handed over to the two brothers.
"Li Shou, Li Deng, pay a visit to General Cao." In a moment, the Li brothers brought several guests to the camp.
Li Shou, whose courtesy name was Shujie; Li Deng, whose courtesy name was Jinxian. His brother Li Gan, whose courtesy name was Zhongxiong. Another elder brother died early.
"The two of you are exempt from gifts." He was both a family member of the Li family and a powerful man in the city, so he should make great use of it. Cao Cao was naturally happy.
"The common people have ordered people to kill a hundred fat cows, bring a thousand stones of wine, make ten thousand pieces of Hu cakes, and reward the soldiers in the camp." Li Shou made a gift.
"I have a hard time." Cao Cao accepted it with a smile, so he reciprocated his favor: "The autumn of wheat has passed, why not cut the wheat?"
"Report to the general. When Lu Bu started his troops, the county magistrate left with his seal. Most of the officials were scattered. The riots were everywhere, and no one was in charge of the rule. The people in the city dared not leave without permission. Therefore, they passed by Mai Qiu." Li Shou replied.
"So that's it." Cao Cao said: "The family and country cannot be without a master for a day. Cheng's (county) magistrate and (county) magistrate will be replaced by the two."
"I'm humble, I dare not obey orders." The two bowed in a solemn manner.
Cao Cao was the governor of Yanzhou and had great power. He followed the "three mutual laws": "marriage family" and "scholars from both states" were not allowed to "surveillance each other". In a nutshell, he was an official in another place and an official in the place.
Although the Li family was popular with the Cheng family, their ancestral home was in Juye, Shanyang. It did not violate the "three mutual laws".
Cao Cao got Cheng again.
Shanyang County, Dongqiang County, the generals of chariots and cavalry were in camp.
"Report, Cao Cao's army has arrived at the Cheng City." A scout came to report.
"How?" Lu Bu and five thousand Qin and Hu Iron Cavalry were lying here. Juye, Chengshi, Donghu, and the three counties were supporting each other. Regardless of whether Cao Mengde was trapped or not, the Iron Cavalry would travel like the wind, and both sides could be successful. He knew that the army was behind him, and in Juye City, he would be the only one who could not show his fear and dare to surrender to the enemy easily.
"Light troops go first, cavalry move slowly." Chen Gong smiled and said, "Turn straight to Chengshi, and the two armies are connected, so it is better to be defeated than to win."
"Huh?" Lu Bu was puzzled: "Cao Mengde's city will cut wheat, and the camp will inevitably be empty. I will lead the army to attack, so how can I be defeated?"
"The powerful Li family in Chengshi County must be devoted to Cao Mengde. Therefore, (Chen) Palace advised the general not to cut the wheat from Chengshi. Now I will send light troops to go first, which is a bait soldier." Chen Palace then explained the secret of heaven.
Lu Bu seemed to have realized something: "Is Cheng's wheat also bait?"
"That's right." A glimmer of light flashed in Chen Gong's eyes. It was also a trick to lure the enemy if he stayed alone.
"Why is this?" Lu Bu asked.
"Cao Mengde was always cunning and deceitful. If he believed in the Li family of Cheng, he would believe in the Tian family of Puyang." Chen Gong replied.
"This is a chain of plans." Lu Bu was amazed: "I know Cao Mengde very well."
Chen Gong said nothing.
The so-called "everything is difficult at the beginning". It also says "repeatedly, and again, and then again." Cao Cao led his troops to Chengshi County. When he saw the powerful Li family in the city, he opened the city to welcome him and slaughtered the cow and worked hard to help the army. He must have a relaxed heart. I personally think that the people of Yanzhou have not yet lost all their hearts. In this way, when he arrived in Puyang, he could believe that there was also a great surname in the city, who wanted to open the city and accept surrender and avenge Lu Bu's family.
As mentioned earlier, those who face wise men, apart from taking advantage of the tricks and making a series of tricks, are the only choice. Because the "half-toxic" rings are not obvious, the toxicity is not obvious. However, the toxicity accumulates. When all the poisons occur, the general trend will be eliminated and there is no way to turn the world back.
When they were separated from Xue Lan, Li Feng, the two of them offered their plans. The profit was so great that Cao Cao could not abandon it lightly. However, they were also suspicious and the soldiers entered Cheng clan and attacked Dingtao. They were both tempted and transferred tigers away from the mountain: if Lu Bu came to rescue him, Cao Cao would quickly climb the Gaihai, guerrillas on the water, go back to the Pu River, and attack Puyang City.
It had already been predicted that Cao Mengde's plan. So Chen Gong followed the plan and reserved the wheat from Cheng's family and led Cao Mengde to seize it. When Cao's army was at the city, the Li family in the city would slaughter a cow and drink to reward the three armies. Cao Mengde's suspicion was eliminated.
When he heard that Cao Mengde wanted to attack Dingtao, he was afraid that Ji Yin would not be protected. Lu Bu came to support in a panic and his troops were inconsistent, and he was defeated. This made Cao Mengde feel despised again. It was also a plan that Chen Gong came out, and it was linked together.
Jiyin County, Chengshi County, and the generals of the Wei camp.
"Report——" Then there was a fast Malay newspaper: "Lu Bu and Chen Gong, from Dong Ke, came to fight more than 10,000 people."
"Why did you leave the East Corner?" Cao Cao was indeed suspicious.
Cheng Li laughed: "Don't disturb you, it must be an ambush."
"Snow and Li, are you really cheating?" A fierce look flashed in Cao Cao's eyes.
"No." Cheng Li said, "It is because Lu Bu showed his traces that the two of them did not cheat."
Cao Cao then realized: "If I had known that the two of them had offered their plans, and seeing that I wanted to attack Dingtao, Lu Bu would not come to help." Cheng Li's army entered Cheng's clan and feigned attack Dingtao. It was also a plan to throw stones and ask for directions. If Lu Bu had known that, Cao Cao would have attacked him for a feint, he would not have come to rescue him rashly. Waiting for Cao Cao's troops to enter Puyang and win in one battle.
"All soldiers came out to get wheat. There were less than a thousand people in the camp, and the camp was not solid. An ambush was needed and surprise troops were allowed to defeat them." Cheng Li said.
"Will the plan be released?" Cao Cao asked for the plan.
"Ming Gong could ask women to guard the walls, and thousands of people in the camp came out and lined up to resist them. There was a large dike in the west of the camp, and the trees in the south were deep. When Lu Bu looked at it, he would definitely suspect that there were ambushers and dare not advance rashly." Cheng Li planned and pointed out the country. This was a plan for empty city.
"As long as you plan." Cao Cao made a plan.
"Here!"
After the formation is completed, Lu Bu's infantry and cavalry have arrived.
I saw more than a thousand soldiers and horses standing in front of the camp. I heard that the guards at the city were all women. Looking at the left and right landforms, Lu Bu suspected that there were ambushers, so he issued an order: "Cao Cao is too cunning, don't get into the ambush."
Then he led his army to station more than ten miles south.
Seeing Lu Bu's troops retreating, Cao Cao asked again: "What should I do?"
"So quickly summon the troops of the school and return to the camp at night." Cheng Li asserted: "Lu Bu will come back tomorrow."
"Okay." Cao Cao gave the order and the light cavalry went out everywhere. He ordered the wheat-cutting soldiers to return to the camp at night to stand by.
That night, the central army tent was brightly lit.
All the generals and schoolmen led their troops back at night. They should have the power to fight.
"Zhongde has a clever plan to defeat the enemy." Cao Cao asked first.
"Lu Bu comes again tomorrow, and Ming Duke hides half of his troops in the dike, and half of his troops outside the dike." Cheng Li pointed to the Xiji River embankment: "The dike is high and slanted, and it is not easy to attack upwards. Lu Bu must send light troops to challenge first. When he approaches, all our ambushing troops will come out and take the dike down. The infantry and cavalry will advance together and will defeat them."
If the terrain is different, take advantage of the collapse and riding force. The armored cavalry is equipped and defeated the light troops first. When the vanguard is defeated, he will retaliate against the rear army. Lu Bu's chaotic army will be defeated.
