After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

Page 277

Lu Meng immediately said: "Lu Xun listens to the order and orders you to return to Cangwu City with five thousand troops!"

"Obey!" Lu Xun clasped his fists in signal.

After leaving the big tent, he immediately ordered five thousand soldiers to leave the big camp.

More than an hour later, soldiers came to report that Lu Xun was ambushed by Zhang Bao on his way back to Cangwu City.

"Boom!" Lu Meng slapped the table angrily, "The traitor Zhuge set up an ambush on the way!"

Obviously, Zhuge Liang's goal was not Cangwu City at all, but to ambush the reinforcements sent by Lu Meng.

The first forecast was wrong, and the second forecast was wrong.

Lu Meng's pressure was even greater.

Zhuge Liang is like a hungry wolf hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to move.

And Lu Meng is a fierce tiger exposed to the sun.

Although the tiger is fierce, it is far less dangerous than the hungry wolf.

Lu Meng also ordered Dong Xi to lead troops to attack Lu Xun, and sent Pan Zhang to guard the camp.

That night, the remnants returned to Dazhai.

Lu Xun and Dong Xi returned one after another.

At the middle of the night, a fire suddenly broke out in the camp.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fei led his troops into the camp.

In an instant, the Jiangdong camp was in chaos.

Lu Meng asked Pan Zhang, "How do you guard the camp?"

Pan Zhang shook his head aggrievedly: "Commander, Zhang Fei's soldiers disguised themselves as soldiers of our army and entered the camp to rest. They set fires everywhere around midnight to welcome Zhang Fei into the camp. It was hard to let go!"

Only then did Lu Meng realize that he had fallen into Zhuge Liang's trick again.

The purpose of ambushing Lu Xun was not only to ambush Lu Xun, but also to secretly send the defeated soldiers into the camp.

This is how tonight's robbery came about.

Daying is already in chaos, and Shou must be unbearable.

Lu Meng ordered to retreat to the neighboring counties.

By daybreak, the camp had been burnt to ruins.

Zhang Fei killed a lot of people, and then he led his troops back to the city.

Credit to Zhuge Liang.

"Military division, I have made a meritorious service this time, beheading three thousand heads of the enemy!"

"Hahaha!" Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand: "Well done, Yide really made a great contribution!"

"Hey!" Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Is the banquet ready for the brothers?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Celebrate now!"

"Just waiting for your words!" Zhang Fei laughed.

That night, there was a grand banquet for the three armies in Yulin City.

The news of Zhuge Liang's ingenious plan to repel Lu Meng soon spread to Jingzhou.

When Cao Ren learned of this, he immediately summoned civil and military officials to discuss the matter.

"Lu Meng has just been repelled by Zhuge Liang, and he has no time to take care of Jingnan in the short term. I want to send troops to retake Jingnan. Do you have a good plan?"

Huang Zhong and Gan Ning looked at each other, and then looked at Pang Tong.

In terms of resourcefulness, Pang Tong is definitely better than everyone present.

Cao Ren stretched out his hand to signal: "Mr. Shi Yuan!"

Pang Tong cupped his hands: "Generals, after Lu Meng retreated to Jiaozhou, he left generals Ling Tong and Jiang Qin to guard the city. In this battle, we must use the fastest speed to capture the two counties at the same time. I suggest that the troops be divided into two groups!"

"Yeah!" Cao Ren nodded: "Mr.'s plan is exactly what I want. Please plan for me, sir!"

Pang Tong nodded: "General, you can order General Gan Ning to attack Lingling County and fight Ling Tong, and send old General Huang Zhong to attack Guiyang County to fight Jiang Qin. The general will dispatch in the middle to help the two armies!"

"Okay!" Cao Ren nodded with a smile on his face.

Chapter 360 Cao Ren captured the second county of Jingnan, Liu Xian played Mi Fang

Lu Meng previously transferred the main force of the Jiangdong Army to fight Liu Bei.

Although Lingling and Guiyang counties are still under the control of Jiangdong.

But both counties had only [-] defenders.

Cao Ren dispatched [-] troops to Huang Zhong and Gan Ning respectively.

He led [-] soldiers and horses and dispatched them in the middle.

However, in three days, the Guiyang Army was captured by Huang Zhong.

Jiang Qin only guarded for one day and one night, then fled with the remnants.

But Ling Tong is defending Lingling City.

The reason is simple, it was his father-killing enemy Gan Ning who attacked the city.

If you retreat at this moment, it is like killing your father and enemy and bowing your head.

Gan Ning wrote to Ling Tong, inviting him to leave the city for a decisive battle.

And said that he only led [-] soldiers.

Ling Tong also knew that Lingling City would not be able to defend sooner or later.

Instead of being exhausted to death, it is better to fight Gan Ning to the death.

Even if he loses, he loses with dignity.

In this way, Ling Tong ordered a thousand elite soldiers to leave the city.

The two were fighting outside Lingling City.

From Tianming Station to Sunset, it took a detour of more than ten miles.

Gan Ning's 800 men were severely beaten, and Ling Tong's more than 1000 soldiers and horses were also exhausted.

Under the setting sun, two big knives pointed at each other from afar.

"Jin Fan Bandit, die!" Ling Tong roared, and charged Gan Ning again with his horse.

"Come to fight!" Gan Ning roared, and immediately rode his horse to face Gan Ning.

The two fought for more than fifty rounds, regardless of who was superior.

When the battle reached more than a hundred rounds, Ling Tong suddenly heard the news that Lingling City had been stolen.

Ling Tong yelled, "Jin Fan Bandit, shameless!"

"Hahaha!" Gan Ning laughed loudly, "Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

It turned out that Gan Ning himself contained Ling Tong outside the city and sent a large army to attack Lingling City.

Ling Tong failed to win, but lost Lingling City.

Although Gan Ning did not defeat Lingtong, he captured Lingling City.

Which is higher and which is lower, needless to say.

Under the setting sun, Ling Tong fled alone on his horse.

Looking at Ling Tong's disappearing figure, Gan Ning felt somewhat reluctant.

At this moment, Gan Ning suddenly felt that the person who cared most about his own life and death in this world was probably his enemy Ling Tong.

Having acquired Lingling City, Gan Ning immediately sent someone to inform Cao Ren.

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Ren led his army into Lingling City.

Mi Fang, the prefect of Lingling City, and Fu Shiren, the prefect of Guiyang County, surrendered to Jiangdong.

Now seeing Cao Jun entering the city, he came to vote for Cao Jun again.

At this time, he was kneeling in Cao Ren's big tent.

Fu Shiren said: "General Shenwei, please spare our lives!"

Mi Fang also said: "General Yun Chang has defected to the imperial court, we should follow suit!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Ren laughed loudly: "You two betray the master and seek glory, and you are still eloquent at this moment, do you really think I dare not kill you?"

"Forgive me, forgive me!" The two kowtowed again and again.

Cao Ren wanted to order the killing of the two men and hand over their heads to Lu Meng for demonstration.

But he was immediately stopped by Pang Tong.

"General, why don't you turn these two people over to King Wei?"

This sentence reminded Cao Ren.

He dealt with these two people at best with one blow.

However, these two people worked for King Wei.

You can give it to Guan Yu, you can give it to Liu Bei, you can kill it and give it away, or you can kill one and give another.

In short, these two lives are definitely more valuable in Wei Wang's hands than in his hands.

"Okay!" Cao Ren said, "Mr. Shi Yuan will take the two of them back to Nanzhong and hand them over to King Wei!"

"Obey!" Pang Tong clasped his fists to signal.

Early the next morning, he left Jingnan with the two captives.

After entering Jianning City, he immediately reported the situation to Cao Cao face to face.

Cao Cao laughed after hearing this: "Okay! The two counties were captured without bloodshed, and two scumbags were captured alive. I have great use for these two!"

Liu Xian said, "It's so useful!"

Cao Cao beckoned, "Cao Xiu, bring me with you!"

"Obey!" Cao Xiu, who was guarding outside the big tent, responded loudly.

Afterwards, Fu Shiren and Mi Fang were twisted into the big tent.

"I've seen King Wei, I've seen King Wei!"

The two hurriedly kowtowed to Cao Cao.

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao turned his head to look at Liu Xian: "Ziyu, how to deal with these two people is up to you today!"

"Thank you, King Wei!" Liu Xian hurriedly cupped his hands to signal.

Since following Cao Cao, Liu Xian killed Sun Qian and led Jian Yong.

But Mi Fang's grandson has always been at large.

Now, people are coming to their door.

Liu Xian, he must not be spared!

Mi Fang raised her head and glanced at Liu Xian quietly: "My good brother-in-law, please spare my life for my sister's sake!"

Liu Xian was shocked: "I haven't said anything yet, you are kidnapping by family affection?"

"Don't dare, dare not!" Mi Fang hurriedly shook her head: "Brother Ziyu, you are an extremely human minister now, and I am not worthy to carry your shoes, but as long as you open your mouth, you will have no complaints!"

"Okay!" Liu Xian nodded, beckoning, "Untie my brother-in-law!"

Cao Xiu glanced at Cao Cao, who nodded his head.

Only then did someone untie Mi Fang.

Without the restraint of the rope, Mi Fang's breathing became smoother, and a smile appeared on her face.

Liu Xian said: "Fu Shiren meant to harm me in the early years, so he killed him for me today!"
