Rebirth God of War Lu Bu

"Hmph, if the aristocratic families in Xiapi City don't know what to do, there will be no need for them to exist after I conquer Xiapi." Cao Cao said coldly.

Although Cao Cao treats the family generously, it is extremely easy to destroy the family under his rule. It is normal for the family to fight each other for the sake of profit. After capturing Xiapi, Cao Cao only needs one word Words can make it difficult for the aristocratic families in Xiapi City to continue.

This is also the reason why the family sometimes has to consider the stronger side.

"My lord, our army has attacked the city one after another, the soldiers are exhausted, and the defense in the army is loose, so beware of enemy troops attacking the camp." Cheng Yu reminded.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "If Zang Ba dared to attack the camp, the Marquis would have saved a lot of things."

Since Cao Cao led the troops into battle, the defense of the camp has been extremely strict.

Seeing Cao Cao's confident expression, Cheng Yu relaxed a lot. As a counselor, he just reminded the monarch at the right time.

In such a siege battle, there are very few strategies that can be achieved, but if Xiapi can be breached, it means that Zang Ba's forces in Xiapi will be completely defeated from Xiapi County.

At the second watch, the gate of the city opened slowly, Zang Ba led a thousand cavalry, quietly came outside the city, and headed towards Cao Jun's camp under the cover of night.

Zang Ba's heart skipped a beat after he pushed aside the antlers and entered the camp. It is said that Cao's army would definitely panic under such a surprise attack on the camp. However, after his own cavalry entered the camp, the camp was surprisingly quiet.

"Set fire!" Zang Ba ordered.

After the tents were set ablaze, no screams from the soldiers were heard. Zang Ba frowned, thinking the secret path was bad, and was about to order the cavalry to retreat, when the rumble of galloping horses suddenly sounded from the left and right sides. When Zang Ba had just left the city, Cao Cao got the news.

Regarding the attack on the camp, Cao Cao has become a lot more cautious since the battle at Huguan. The soldiers of the various ministries usually do a lot of training, but it came in handy when Zang Ba attacked the camp, which also caused Zang Ba After entering the camp, he found that there were no soldiers of Cao Jun in the camp.

At this time, the soldiers of Cao Jun had already assembled under the orders of the generals of the various ministries.

When Zang Ba attacked Cao Jun, it was impossible to come directly on his horse. Even the horseshoes of the horses were wrapped in cotton cloth. On the way, he was worried that Cao Jun’s secret sentry would find him. Naturally, he was careful, which gave Cao Jun time to prepare .

"Retreat!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Zang Ba directly gave the order to retreat.

Behind them appeared the figures of Cao Jun's heavy cavalry, the leader of which was holding a spear, whoever it was if it wasn't Cao Ren.

After the heavy cavalry appeared, they charged at the cavalry led by Zang Ba without the slightest hesitation.

Even though the cavalry under Zang Ba's command were elite, they raided the enemy's camp and encountered an ambush. One can imagine the shock caused among the cavalry, and the heavy cavalry in Cao's army already had great power.

Zang Ba led the cavalry to rush left and right, broke out of Cao Jun's camp, and returned to the city. After counting the troops and horses, he found that half of the cavalry had been lost, and the morale of the cavalry became extremely low after the defeat.

After Chen Gong listened to Zang Ba's description of the situation on the battlefield, he secretly thought that it was very dangerous. He knew Cao Cao's abilities well. He was sure that Cao Cao didn't know that Zang Ba was going to sneak attack tonight. If he knew in advance, he would Maybe they have already sent someone disguised as their own cavalry to cheat the city gate.

"General, there is no need to be discouraged. With the support of the aristocratic families in the city, two thousand private soldiers are enough to hold off Cao's army for a while." Chen Gong comforted, after all, this sneak attack was carried out under his leadership.

The news that Zang Ba led the cavalry to raid Cao's army and lost half of the cavalry spread in the city at a very fast speed. The news of this failure caused huge turmoil among the army in the city.

At this time, the aristocratic family has an extra thought. Through the battle outside Xiapi City, they can see that there is still a big gap between Zang Ba and Cao Jun. If things go on like this, Cao Cao can only win in the end , and they gave Zang Ba too much help when Cao Jun attacked the city,

Once Cao Jun enters the city, their aristocratic families must be unlucky.

However, it is impossible not to keep what Zang Ba promised last night. However, as far as the private soldiers are elite, they can do something secretly and send the weak private soldiers of the family to go there.

After five days like this, the aristocratic families in the city could no longer see hope from Zang Ba, so they gathered in one place secretly to discuss the matter of dedicating Xiapi to Cao Cao.

Zang Ba and Chen Gong didn't realize at all that the actions of the aristocratic families, these aristocratic families have been entrenched in Xiapi for many years, and the means of doing things are naturally extremely concealed, not to mention that the aristocratic families handed over most of their private soldiers before, which to a certain extent dispelled Zang Ba's concerns.

After Cao Cao received the letter from the city, a smile appeared on his face, and these aristocratic families finally couldn't help it.

"Tell these aristocratic families that after the Marquis enters the city, he will definitely not embarrass those who have made meritorious deeds." Cao Cao said.

"Here!" Xun You cheered up when he heard the words, and being able to win the support of the aristocratic families in the city is of great significance to Cao Jun at this time. Only a stable Xuzhou can make Cao Cao's rule stronger, such as Yanzhou, Yuzhou, After successive wars, the people suffered serious losses.

Over the years, the wars between the princes have never stopped. They fight each other for their own interests, and the demand for soldiers is also increasing day by day. As a far-sighted counselor, Xun You naturally sees the exhaustion of the big man at this time.

This kind of fatigue is manifested when the princes compete with each other. If the war lasts for many years, the consumption of food and grass alone will be unsustainable.

If Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou can guarantee stability for several years, the strength displayed must be strong, and Xuzhou must be pacified.

"My lord, after the attack on Xiapi, Zang Ba still has Donghai and Langye in his hands, and our army is bound to face successive bitter battles," Xun You said.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he asked, "I don't know what good strategy Gongda has?"

Xun You said: "If Xiapi is captured by our army, there will be great chaos in Zang Ba's army. At that time, my lord can let the cavalry pretend to be soldiers in Zang Ba's army to attack the East China Sea. If the East China Sea is captured, Zang Ba will be nothing to worry about. At that time, the lord can secretly win over one or two."

Cao Cao stroked his beard, nodded with a smile on his face, and said, "Just according to Gongda's words, Xia Houyuan was ordered to come, and Lao Gongda planned this matter."

"My lord, you can send heavy cavalry to set up an ambush here. This is the place Zang Ba must pass through to retreat. At that time, Zang Ba's army will be panic-stricken. If they encounter heavy cavalry again, they will be defeated." Xun You pointed to the topographical map.

"Okay, with the help of Gongda, why worry about not being able to calm Zang Ba." Cao Cao laughed.
