Chapter 940: Battle of Shouchun (6)

Zhou Yu saw that Han Dang had turned around and was about to lead his troops into battle, and the other two generals were also aggressively preparing to assemble their troops. He quickly walked in front of them and stopped them: "Old general, please wait a moment!"

"You boy, are you going to let my lord lead these thousand people to the camp of Cao Cao's army?" Han Dang was furious, pointed at Zhou Yu's nose and cursed;

Regarding this irritable but loyal veteran, Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly, and quickly explained: "Old general, please listen to me, the Chinese army of 10,000 troops has begun to gather. Now only 40,000 troops can be mobilized in the camp. , we cannot send out the entire army to prevent Yuan Shu's army from hijacking the camp. Therefore, according to the boy's wishes, 20,000 troops will be left to guard the camp. The old general and I will lead 20,000 troops to support Bo Fu and then make a decision. "

"And in Yu's opinion, Cao Cao's army may not really be able to defeat Bo Fu, or our Jiangdong army. By then, Cao Cao will have broken his trust in front of the whole world."

After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Han Dang did not become furious, so he followed Zhou Yu's wishes and left Zhu Zhi and Lu Fan to lead 20,000 troops to guard the camp. Han Dang and Zhou Yu gathered 20,000 troops towards Cao Cao's camp. However, before leaving, Zhou Yu asked Zhu Zhi and the others to immediately arrange for people to go to the Andong Army camp to ask for help.

In fact, there was no need for Zhou Yu to send anyone for help. Just as they were leading the army out of the camp, in the Andong Army camp to the west, Huangfu Chaobo had already received the news from the scouts: Yuan Shujun's envoys had entered Cao Cao's army. Inside the camp, messengers were sent secretly in the middle of the night to discuss shady matters.

Huangfu Chaobo immediately sent someone to invite Pang Tong and the others. As soon as the three people entered the tent, a second wave of scouts came to report: Sun Ce led a thousand personal guards angrily towards the direction of Cao Cao's army camp. It seems that the two families are likely to have a fight.

Perhaps it was because someone on the sidelines had figured it out, so Pang Tong and Guo Jia quickly reacted.

"Two peaches kill three soldiers!"

"Yes, this is Yuan Shu's intention, to sow discord. I dare to guarantee with my life that Cao Cao will never get the jade seal!"

Both men were experts in intrigue and were quick to connect all the intel to reach conclusions.

"Lord, we must send troops immediately. At least we should prevent the two families from fighting before they break through Shouchun City. As for what happens next, it is none of our business. We can take this opportunity to provoke the relationship between the two families." Guo Jia suggested;

After being reminded by the two of them, Huangfu Chaobo and Lu Su also reacted. Huangfu Chaobo said: "Okay, come here, all the war horses in the general have gathered together. Send out as many soldiers as possible from the trap camp, Tiebei camp and Yuan Rong crossbowmen. Shi Yuan and Zijing will follow this general to the camp of Cao Cao's army. "Xiao stayed behind."

"Lord," Lu Su said from the side: "In order to be solemn, in addition to these thousands of troops rushing quickly, it is best to order another ten to twenty thousand troops to come later, and the camp must also be prepared. Prevent Yuan Shu's army from sneaking attack."

The other two nodded in agreement.

When Huangfu Chaobo heard this, he realized that it was indeed the case, so he immediately ordered Huang Zhong, Huang Wudie, and Wang Ran to stay at the camp. Huangfu Li and Han Xian then set off with an army of 20,000 people and rushed to Cao Cao's camp just in case. .

Soon, the lights in the Andong Army camp were brightly lit. First, more than 4,000 cavalry rushed out of the camp and headed east of Shouchun. A quarter of an hour later, 20,000 infantrymen also left the camp and followed the direction of the cavalry. Within the camp, the army was also ready.

The unusual movements in the camps in the west and south directions immediately alerted the soldiers of Yuan Shu on duty at Shouchun City. They thought that the enemy troops outside the city were attacking the city overnight, so the soldiers of Yuan Shu in the south city and west city rang the warning bell one after another. There was a sound, and for a moment, the entire city became brightly lit.

At this time, Ji Ling was still standing on the top of Shouchun City. Although he had not seen Shu Shao and his entourage return, the changes in Xicheng and Nancheng had already alarmed him. When he heard the report from the soldiers, Ji Ling couldn't help but have a look on his face. A smile appeared, which surprised the surrounding soldiers. The two city walls warned him. Instead of being anxious, his general laughed. How could this be so weird?

"Just send an order to all the cities to stand ready. Don't pay attention to the changes outside the city. No one is allowed to go out of the city to fight without the general's order." Ji Ling looked straight and ordered;

The soldiers took the order and left.

Not long after, several soldiers reported: "General, someone is approaching the city wall!"

Ji Ling put away his thoughts and looked up into the darkness. There were indeed five black figures running towards the city wall. When he was about to ask someone to ask, he heard those people shouting: "Is the general here? This is Shu Shao!"

Listening carefully, it was indeed Shu Shao's voice, so Ji Ling said to the people in the city: "I am here, Sir Shu, feel free to approach the city wall."

With that said, he signaled the generals around him to get ready, and as he prepared to put the hanging basket down on the city wall, he picked up Shu Shao and others on the city wall.

A quarter of an hour later, Shu Shao and his party were finally picked up on the city wall. As soon as they entered the city, Ji Ling took Shu Shao's hand and laughed loudly: "Brother Zhong Ying's plan has been accomplished!"

As he spoke, he told Shu Shao about the changes in Nancheng and Xicheng. When Shu Shao heard this, he was also happy, but he said: "It's too early to say success. We still need to see whether they can succeed." war."

Just as he was talking, another soldier reported that the soldier on duty in the southeast corner had discovered a group of more than a thousand soldiers and horses heading towards the east direction of Cao Cao's army camp.

After hearing this, the two were even more delighted. They knew that this must be Sun Ce leading his soldiers to Cao Cao's camp to question him. In this way, more than a thousand people in Cao Cao's camp would most likely be surrounded and annihilated, and the two families would fight to the death.

Soon, the patrol on the west wall also sent news that thousands of cavalrymen from the Andong Army camp were heading east. Later, the news that Sun Ce's army camp sent out 20,000 troops again and the Andong Army sent out 20,000 troops again came one after another, which made the two people feel relieved. It seems that the plan was really successful.

Now we only need to confirm that there is really a war in Cao Cao's army camp, and then we can report back to His Majesty.

At this time, in Cao Cao's central army tent, everyone in the Cao family was quietly waiting for Cao Cao to bathe and change clothes and return to the tent. Although everyone was itching, they all stared at the yellow bundle on the table, fearing that the thing would fly away from everyone's eyes in the blink of an eye.

Not long after, Cao Cao came out from the back tent, looked at everyone, laughed, and said, "Why, are you all waiting?"

Everyone nodded, and Cao Ren said, "Brother, open it quickly so that everyone can learn something."
