When Cao Cao returned to the army, Pang Tong and Suo Xu were full of suspicion, but they were too embarrassed to ask. But after thinking for a long time, they didn't know how Cao Cao learned that there were spies from the Chinese army in the army.
"Whatever you want to ask, just ask." Cao Cao saw what Pang Tong and Suo Xu were thinking and said calmly.
Pang Tong said: "Your Majesty's plan is extremely vicious. He knows that Zhao Yun is powerful, so he came up with a strategy to defeat Zhao Yun first. Although Zhao Yun is brave and resourceful, it is definitely not as good as your Majesty's strategy. However, I don't know how your Majesty learned that there was a spy in the army.
of."
"Haha, this is what you are talking about. I have had many contacts with Zhao Yun. He is cautious and has both civil and military skills. He is a good general. However, it is this cautiousness that harmed him. The scout system of China is very
Perfect, it can be said to be all-pervasive. Our army came from afar, and when we set up camp in Xiahoudun, it was the easiest time for scouts to sneak in. Therefore, I tested a
There is no real certainty that there will be spies. If it succeeds, Zhao Yun will be able to get rid of this big problem. If it doesn't succeed, it will just be a bamboo basket and nothing will be lost to our army. Unexpectedly, in our army,
As expected, there are enemy scouts among them, so Zhao Yun will definitely think that I have a back-up at the camp, and instead of attacking the camp, he will plunder our army's food routes." Cao Cao explained.
After hearing this, Pang Tong thought secretly in his heart: "Although Your Majesty said this, it is just a random rake, but His Majesty's military skills are very vicious and tricky, which is what I should learn from..."
After Suo Xu heard this, he asked: "Your Majesty, I will go back to the camp now to mobilize troops and horses to attack Tiandang Mountain!"
"No!" Cao Cao raised his hand and retorted, "Attack the two mountains together and attack Tiandang Mountain with strong troops. I will personally lead the army to block Dingjun Mountain so that the two mountains cannot rush to help each other."
"Your Majesty, I do not agree. I think that it is much easier to capture Tiandang Mountain first, then encircle the area for reinforcements, and deceive Zhang Ren down from the mountain than to attack Dingjun Mountain. Zhang Ren knows the Shu area very well, so he must be in Dingjun
There are traps buried on the mountain, and it is too difficult to attack Dingjun Mountain, and I'm afraid it will consume too many troops." Pang Tong objected.
Cao Cao smiled and said: "What the military advisor said makes sense, but that is exactly what I meant when I personally attacked Dingjun Mountain. Zhang Ren is smart. Even if Tiandang Mountain is lost, he may not go to rescue it, because he knows that Dingjun Mountain will be defeated."
The mountain is higher than Tiandang Mountain
Much tighter. Zhang Ren was very critical of my massacre of the people in Zitong. If I go to anger Zhang Ren personally, I will definitely make Zhang Ren come down to fight. Without Zhao Yun, Tiandang Mountain will be in vain, but it cannot be left as a place.
future trouble."
After hearing this, Pang Tong deeply admired him and said: "Your Majesty is wise, but I am young and inexperienced, which makes Your Majesty laugh."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "There is no need to be humble as a military advisor. It's just that I have experienced a lot and the military advisor has less experience. After all, ginger is still hot, right?"
Pang Tong smiled and did not answer, but he admired Cao Cao more and more in his heart, thinking: "Without me, your Majesty's ability alone will certainly be able to conquer Shu, right?"
After returning to the military camp, Cao Cao actively mobilized troops and generals, asking Suo Xu to lead an army of 15,000 people to attack Tiandang Mountain. He led 5,000 horse infantry troops in the vast area north of Dingjun Mountain, and let Pang Tong take charge.
camp, and at the same time asked both sides to inform the Chinese Army of the news of Zhao Yun's death.
Cao Cao asked someone to stand on the ground with Zhao Yun's Heavy Rain Soul-Destroying Gun and start shouting towards the mountain. On the other side, he asked Suo Xu to hold Zhao Yun's scattered helmet and scream at the foot of Tiandang Mountain.
On Tiandang Mountain, Dianwu saw Suo Xu holding Zhao Yun's helmet with a gun, and heard the news of Zhao Yun's death. He was filled with infinite grief and indignation. Facing the provocation of the Wei army at the foot of the mountain, Dianwu turned a blind eye and refused to hear.
However, the other soldiers were filled with righteous indignation and came to challenge Dianwu one after another.
In the big tent, Dian Wu glanced at the officers of all sizes in the army. From the captain to the corps commander, they were all standing in front of him, asking to go down the mountain to fight and avenge Zhao Yun.
Dianwu frowned and said angrily: "This is a treacherous plot of the Wei army. If the general was really killed in battle, why didn't they come with the general's head? It was just a helmet, which doesn't explain anything. The general left something before leaving.
There is a military order, and no one is allowed to go down the mountain privately without the general's order. If the general really dies in battle, how can I not feel sad. You all go back, and don't say anything more."
"General!" Everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Dianwu, "We are all personally accompanied by the general. Regardless of whether the general is alive or dead, we are willing to go down the mountain to fight against the Wei army. Please grant your permission...
"
"What nonsense! Tiandang Mountain's terrain is dangerous, how can you do this nonsense? Get back!" Dianwu said angrily.
At this time, a soldier hurriedly ran in and said in a panic: "General! The Wei army has begun to attack the mountain. Ten thousand soldiers rushed towards the mountain like an overwhelming force. The soldiers guarding the mountain suffered heavy casualties!"
Dianwu's expression changed and he hurried out of the tent, shouting loudly: "Follow me, and you must defend this mountain no matter what!"
Many officers followed Dian Wu, and the soldiers in the village went to the mountains to resist.
At the foot of the mountain, Suo Xu rode a war horse and looked at the Chinese army on the mountain. The five thousand archers around him were arranged in an orderly manner, and they released arrows one after another. The arrows were densely packed, and they were attacking the Chinese army on the mountain. People kept coming.
He was hit by arrows and was seriously injured, so he had to hide under the rocks.
Suo Xu moved his spear forward, and the infantry began to charge towards the mountain. Under the cover of arrows, the infantry rushed to the Chinese army's defensive position without any resistance.
"Stop shooting!" Suo Xu saw that the two armies were in contact with each other and no longer needed any arrows. He was also afraid of accidentally injuring his own people, so he raised his hand and gave the order. He quietly watched as people rushed up the mountain from all directions.
Eight thousand soldiers went.
Then, Suo Xu turned the horse's head and said to his lieutenant Suolun: "You can guard this place for me. There is no suspense about this mountain. After occupying Tiandang Mountain, plant the Wei army's flag on the mountain and divide it into half."
Soldiers and horses are stationed here, and no one is allowed to go down the mountain without military orders!"
Sauron is Suo Xu's clan brother. After hearing Suo Xu's instructions, he promised to take command in Suo Xu's place.
Suo Xu took two other generals, Sauron and Suolo, and two thousand guardsmen in the opposite direction to support Cao Cao.
On Dingjun Mountain, people reported that Zhao Yun had been killed by Cao Cao. Zhao Yun's spear stood at the foot of the mountain, and the Wei army was attacking Tiandang Mountain.
After Zhang Ren heard the news, he was a little restless. He didn't know whether the news was true or false. But when he looked at Tiandang Mountain from Dingjun Mountain, he saw the Wei soldiers on Tiandang Mountain climbing up the mountainside of Tiandang Mountain like ants. The Chinese army
The soldiers were resisting vigorously, and the sounds of fighting between the two armies could not be heard.
"General, the general is not really dead, is he? Otherwise, with the general's skills, who can take away the general's gun?" Yang Huai asked.
Zhang Rendao: "Probably not. If the general is really dead, Cao Cao will definitely come with the general's head, but now he is only holding the general's gun, which means that the general is still alive. However, the general must also be
The odds are stacked against each other. Here’s the order, no one can go down the mountain to fight under any circumstances!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Pei hurried from outside and reported: "General, those officers are clamoring to see the general and requesting to come down the mountain and fight to the death with Cao Cao."
At this time, a group of officers, including school captains, captains, military lords, army commanders, village commanders, chiefs, corps commanders and other officers of all sizes broke into the big tent one after another. Their faces were filled with indignation. As soon as they entered the big tent
, then they worshiped together: "We request a decisive battle with the Wei army! Please grant your permission, General!"
Zhang Rendao: "No! Dingjun Mountain is extremely dangerous. Even if the Wei army holds the general's head and shows off its power below, they will never be able to go down the mountain. As long as the mountain is guarded, even if the Wei army has a hundred thousand people, it will never be able to conquer it.
The emperor must know the news about the Wei army coming from afar, and I believe that the emperor will definitely lead the reinforcements on the way. We will make decisions on everything until the emperor comes!"
Those officers were all Zhao Yun's subordinates and had a deep friendship with Zhao Yun. Although Zhang Ren, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Deng Xian, and Liu Sui were all named generals, there were only two hundred soldiers belonging to their faction.
Come, the rest of the soldiers and horses are all Zhao Yun's subordinates. When they heard the news of Zhao Yun's death, they were absolutely filled with indignation and wanted to go down the mountain to fight to the death with the Wei army.
When everyone heard the news that Zhang Ren was unwilling to send troops, they were extremely angry and retreated one after another.
Zhang Ren thought for a moment and immediately shouted: "Capture all these people!"
The guards outside the tent were all Zhang Ren's subordinates. After hearing Zhang Ren's words, they took action and captured all the hundreds of officers who had not yet reacted.
"Zhang Ren! Are you going to rebel?" a captain asked.
Zhang Rendao: "You can say whatever you want, but as long as you are in my army for one day, you must obey my orders and guard Dingjun Mountain to the death. No one is allowed to go down the mountain. This is a death order."
At this time, Liu Suan came in from outside and hurriedly reported: "General, it's bad, all those soldiers went down the mountain to fight the Wei army on their own, shouting that they wanted to avenge the general, I couldn't stop them...
Also, here is a letter from Li Yan, please take a look at it, General!"
Zhang Ren's scalp went numb after hearing this. He didn't even read the letter and immediately shouted: "Oh no! Dingjun Mountain is over! Let them go and follow me to command the battle. Stop the soldiers who are coming down the mountain.
Otherwise, Hanzhong will be undefendable!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone left the stronghold and went down the mountain avoiding the traps.
At the foot of Dingjun Mountain, Cao Cao saw that the soldiers of the Huaxia Army finally couldn't stand it anymore and came down the mountain one after another to think for themselves. He asked the crossbowmen to shoot one by one. Many soldiers of the Huaxia Army died at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, Suo Xu came with Suo Long and Suo Luo. Seeing that the morale of the Chinese army had collapsed, the soldiers began to disobey the general's orders. In order to avenge Zhao Yun, they went down the mountain to think for themselves. They couldn't help but feel that Cao Cao defeated Zhao Yun first.
His strategy is really brilliant. In this way, Dingjun Mountain can be captured within half an hour.
