Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

"Humph, if the aristocratic families in Xiapi City are not wise, there will be no need for their existence after I conquer Xiapi." Cao Cao said coldly.

Although Cao Cao treated the aristocratic family generously, it was extremely easy to destroy the aristocratic family under his rule. It was normal for the aristocratic families to fight against each other and take action for their own benefit. After capturing Xiapi, Cao Cao only needed to say

If you say that, it will make it difficult for the aristocratic families in Xiapi City to continue.

This is also the reason why aristocratic families sometimes have to consider the stronger side.

"Lord, our army has been attacking the city one after another. The soldiers are exhausted and the defenses in the army are loose. We should be careful to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp." Cheng Yu reminded.

Cao Cao smiled and said: "If Zang Ba dares to attack the camp, I will save a lot of things."

Ever since Cao Cao led his troops into battle, the defense of the camp has been extremely tight.

Cheng Yu felt a lot more relaxed when he saw Cao Cao's confident expression. As a counselor, his job was to remind the monarch at the appropriate time.

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

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

After pushing aside the antlers and charging into the camp, Zang Ba felt a sudden thought. Normally, Cao Jun would be in panic during such a sneak 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 alight, no screams from the soldiers were heard. Zang Ba frowned, secretly thinking, and was about to order the cavalry to retreat when the rumble of galloping horses suddenly sounded from the left and right sides. It turned out that, early

When Zang Ba just left the city, Cao Cao got the news.

Regarding the attack on the camp, Cao Cao has become much more cautious since the battle at Huguan. The officers and soldiers of various departments usually conduct training, but it came in handy when Zang Ba attacked the camp. This also caused Zang Ba's

After entering the camp, I found that there were no soldiers of Cao's army in the camp.

At this time, the soldiers of Cao's army had gathered under the orders of the generals.

When Zang Ba made a sneak attack on Cao Jun, it was impossible for him to come directly on horseback. Even the hooves of the war horses were wrapped in cotton. During the march, he was even more worried about being discovered by Cao Jun's secret sentry, so he was naturally cautious, which gave Cao Jun time to prepare.

.

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

At the rear, Cao Jun's heavy cavalry appeared. The leader was holding a spear. Who else could it be if it wasn't Cao Ren?

After the heavy cavalry appeared, they killed the cavalry led by Zang Ba without any hesitation.

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

Zang Ba led his 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 was lost, and the morale of the cavalry became extremely low after the defeat.

After listening to Zang Ba's description of the situation on the battlefield, Chen Gong realized that the secret path was very dangerous. He knew Cao Cao's capabilities well. What he was sure of was that Cao Cao did not know that Zang Ba was going to attack tonight. If he had known about it in advance,

Maybe they have sent people disguised as their own cavalry to deceive the city gate.

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

The news that Zang Ba led the cavalry to attack Cao's army and lost half of the cavalry spread quickly in the city. The news of this failure caused huge turmoil among the army in the city.

At this time, the family had an extra thought. Through the battle outside Xiapi City, they could see that there was still a big gap between Zang Ba and Cao Jun. If things go on like this, Cao Cao would be the only one to win in the end.

, and they gave Zang Ba too much help when Cao Jun attacked the city. Once Cao Jun entered the city, these aristocratic families would definitely be in trouble.

However, the promise made to Zang Ba last night was impossible not to be fulfilled. However, given the elite level of the private soldiers, they could do something secretly and send the weaker private soldiers in the family.

After five days of this, the aristocratic families in the city could no longer see any hope in Zang Ba, so they gathered in secret to discuss dedicating Xiapi to Cao Cao.

Zang Ba and Chen Gong were not aware of the actions of the aristocratic families. These aristocratic families had been entrenched in Xiapi for many years, and their methods were naturally extremely concealed. Moreover, the aristocratic families had handed over most of their private soldiers before, which to a certain extent dispelled the threat.

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 bear it anymore.

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

"Here!" Xun You perked up after hearing this. Being able to gain the support of the aristocratic families in the city was 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 fought for their own interests, and the demand for soldiers was also increasing day by day. As a far-sighted counselor, Xun You naturally saw that the Han Dynasty was exhausted at this time.

This fatigue is reflected 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 they will show must be strong, and Xuzhou must be pacified.

"My lord, after conquering Xiapi, Zang Ba still has Donghai and Langye in his hands. Our army is bound to face successive hard battles," Xun You said.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he asked: "I wonder if Gongda has any good ideas?"

Xun You said: "If Xiapi is captured by our army, there will be chaos in Zang Ba's army. At that time, the 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 not have anything to worry about.

Then my lord can win over one or two secretly."

Cao Cao stroked his beard, nodded with a smile on his face and said: "I just used Gongda's words to send an order to Xia Houyuan to come. Lao Gongda was the one who planned this matter."

"My lord can send heavy cavalry to set up an ambush here. This is the place where Zang Ba must retreat. By then, Zang Ba's army will be in panic. If they encounter heavy cavalry again, they will be defeated." Xun You pointed at the terrain map and said.

"Okay, with Gongda's help, there's no need to worry about not being able to put Zang Ba down." Cao Cao laughed.
