Chapter 38 Cao Zixiu rushes to attack Wuchao
The next day, Cao Ang inspected the tiger, leopard cavalry and 5,000 horses with Cao Cao. Seeing that Cao Cao was neat in his army, he was indeed a heroic soldier.
When all the generals of the advisers and soldiers learned about this plan, they all came to advise, "How can Yuan Shao be unprepared for food? The Prime Minister should not allow the young master to take risks and should not go there lightly!"
Cao Ang said: "Before this happened, when someone came up with this plan, Xu You, a counselor in Yuan Shao, came to pay homage to my father. Looking at his face, his plan was almost inseparable from me. Now our army's rations are very short. If Yuan Shao is not defeated, I will sit there to wait for the trap. Besides, Xu You will sit in my camp and there will be no deception. Please do not doubt it!"
"Zi Xiu went to steal Wuchao, we should be careful of Yuan Shao coming to the big village." Cao Cao dispatched, "Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, led the army to lie on the left side of the village."
"promise!"
"Cao Ren and Li Dian lead the army to lie on the right."
"promise!"
"Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, and the four of you follow Zi Xiu to attack Wuchao! I will be in charge of the army with all the generals."
"promise!"
Cao Ang sent five thousand troops to replace Yuan Shao's army with armor and teach Zhang Liao, Xu Chu in front, Xu Huang and Yu Jin behind, all the soldiers were carrying firewood, biting sticks in their mouths, and putting horse bridles on their mouths. At dusk, they headed towards Wuchao. The four generals saw that the five thousand people were like one, and they were marching silently, and they were replaced by gestures. They were frightened. Such military and horses were hard to describe. The young master was so powerful in training.
It was night, with stars everywhere, and the night was dark and there was a glimmer of light.
However, Ju Su was locked in the army by Yuan Shao. That night, he saw all the stars, and ordered people to put him in the atrium. When he was young, he learned stargazing with others, so he wanted to watch it.
Looking up at the celestial phenomena, I suddenly saw a big star attacking the ox, and it was a fight, but Taibai was not seen. I felt very anxious, "The disaster is coming!"
He sent someone to report to Yuan Shao overnight, saying that he had something important to ask for a meeting. At that time, Yuan Shao was drunk and was playing with the beauty in his arms. He heard that Ju Su had something to repay, but he finally let Ju Su come in.
Ju Shu didn't look squinted, and did not listen to the faint sounds of his ears. He said loudly: "A moment I saw a big star retrograde to the willow, and the light was flowing into the cow. The difference between the fight was that this star was far better than Taibai! I was afraid that the bandits were robbed, and Wuchao was where the troops were stationed. We must be more prepared. It is advisable to send elite soldiers to patrol the mountain roads quickly to prevent them from being attacked by Cao Cao!"
Yuan Shao was furious: "I have the general Chunyu Qiong to take care of you, how could you please confuse the public?"
The left and right were ordered to drive out Ju Su, replace the person in charge, and kill the previous supervisor.
Ju Shu came out and looked at the sky and cried, "I'm sorry that I've learned everything, but I can't meet a wise ruler. When the army is dead, I don't know where my corpse will fall!"
But Cao Ang led his troops to travel at night, and Yuan Shao's village was ahead. The soldiers asked, "Where are you waiting for?"
Cao Ang sent someone to answer: "Jiang Qi was ordered to go to Wuchao to protect the grain."
Yuan Jun was not confused when he saw that he was wearing armor in his own banner. Only the four generals were surprised. There was no trembling around him, and his expression was as usual.
In this way, after passing several other camps, they all pretended to be Jiang Qi's soldiers and had no obstacles at all. When they arrived in Wuchao, it was already the fourth day.
Cao Ang ordered the soldiers to light a torch, and five thousand troops rushed in with firewood and grass.
At that time, Chunyu Qiong had just finished drinking with the generals and was lying on the woman he brought to him. When he heard the noise, he was almost frightened and asked quickly: "Why is it noisy?"
No one answered, and was pulling out to check it out, but was knocked over by dozens of guns, tied up and tied up.
Zhao Rui and others were transporting grain back to the trough and woke up. They hurriedly came to drink and reported to Cao Ang. Cao Ang shouted: "The generals are striving forward and wait for the bandits to come behind them before they can take his head!"
The tiger and leopard cavalry set up their military formation and easily killed like bulldozing. In an instant, flames rose everywhere, fire everywhere, smoke filled the body, choking the mouth and nose.
Zhao Rui brought people to rescue him. Cao Ang turned around, bent his bow and shot an arrow, and Zhao Rui was shot and broke his neck and turned into a headless corpse. All the food and grass he brought was burned out by a fire.
Chunyu Qiong was tied to see Cao Ang, and Cao Ang sneered, "I personally released this kind of wine bag and it was also dirty when I released it. However, Yuan Shao used it to guard this important land for the general, cut off his ears and noses, tied it to his horse, and returned it to Yuan Shao!"
Chunyu Qiong also bowed and thanked him for not killing him, and the four generals despised him.
But Yuan Shao was playing with his concubine in the tent. When he heard that the fire in the north was rising into the sky, he became soft after trembling and did not care about anything else. He put on his pants and hurriedly summoned civil and military personnel to discuss sending troops to rescue him.
Only Zhang He was left under Yuan Shao's tent, so Zhang He asked for an order: "I would like to go with Gao Lan to rescue him."
Guo Tu said: "No, Cao Cao's army intercepted the grain, and Cao Cao must have gone there personally. Now that Cao Cao has left, the village must be empty, and the troops can attack Cao Cao's village! When Cao Cao heard this, he must return quickly. This is a plan to "surround Wei and save Zhao!"
Zhang He said: "No, Cao Cao is resourceful, how can he be without internal preparation when he goes out? If attacking Cao's camp is not good, and Wuchao will be in trouble, we will all capture him!"
Guo Tu said: "Cao Cao only cares about intercepting military rations, so where are there any soldiers in the Dazhai?" He repeatedly asked to intercept Cao's camp, so Yuan Shao sent Zhang He and Gao Lan to lead 5,000 troops to attack Cao Cao's Dazhai, and used Jiang Qi to lead 10,000 troops to save Wuchao.
Cao Ang killed Sanyu Qiong's army horses and selected good horses in Wuchao. Five thousand tigers and leopards cavalry one by one and two horses. After wearing them from the equipment they were carrying, they had long spears, bows and arrows, small crossbows, and one by one with a short knife. The four generals were shocked to see them directly.
"Get on the horse!" Cao Ang shouted, and the four generals unconsciously listened to the orders to get on the horse. Five thousand people were uniform and very spectacular.
"Now we have two plans. One is to pretend to be Yuan's army and still kill him. The other is to rush to rescue him under the name of my tiger and leopard cavalry. Who are you willing to choose?" Cao Ang faced the army.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"The tiger and leopard cavalry is famous all over the world, only today!" Cao Ang shouted.
More than 10,000 horses rushed to the main road in an orderly manner. Halfway through the journey, they met Jiang Qi who came to save him. Cao Ang took the lead and shouted like thunder. Jiang Qi didn't dare to speak.
Five thousand small crossbows were like poisonous bees. Only when the "hissing" wind sounded, Yuan's army fell down. Then Cao Ang ordered the tiger and leopard cavalry to divide into a thousand small arrays of arrows. The entire array of arrows, with Cao Ang as the steeliest blade, rushed into Yuan's army fiercely.
He wiped out Jiang Qi's troops and sent someone to report to Yuan Shao, "Jiang Qi has killed the soldiers from San Wuchao."
Yuan Shao had no doubts and did not ask for a visit, so he only went to Guandu to increase his troops and ignored the matter of Wuchao.
But Zhang He and Gao Lan led five thousand troops to attack the Dazhai, for Xiahou Dun on the left, Cao Ren on the right, and Cao Cao in the middle, Cao Cao led Cao Hong to lead his army to attack three times, and was defeated. He was killed and turned to the point of not knowing whether his head was still there.
When the reinforcements arrived, Cao Ang’s five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry came back. Zhang Liao and four other generals added Cao Ang, Lu Bu and Xiang Yu could not play with them. Not to mention Zhang He, Gao Lan.
