Chapter one hundred and sixty-two tactics to lure the enemy

Hearing that Zhou Ping had persuaded Yuan Shao to send 30,000 troops to attack Xudu, Liu Bei, who had always kept his emotions secret, could not help but be excited at this moment. He clenched his fists tightly and said with a face full of joy: "Mr.
, Unparalleled in the world, unparalleled in the world! Hahaha..."
"I heard that Yuan Jizhou and Cao Cao had a close old friendship. I didn't expect that my husband could persuade him to send troops to attack Xu. Liang is far behind!"
Zhuge Liang deeply sighed to himself, thinking that although he was young, he was also very intelligent, but compared with Mr. Wen An, he was still far behind.
After all, there is no bright future!
Zhuge Liang thought about it and felt that he would study harder in the future, especially in the art of war, to know more and do better than his husband.
"When will Sir come back?"
Liu Bei asked again, the person he wanted to see most now was Zhou Ping.
Yuan Shao's dispatch of troops already means that Cao Cao will be defeated. However, after Cao Cao's defeat, whether the land of Yanzhou should be occupied or not is a question.
If he takes it, he will most likely conflict with Yuan Shao. At present, he does not have the strength to directly conflict with Yuan Shao.
If you don't take it, and you're afraid that Yuan Shao will come and take Xuzhou after taking Yanzhou, then you're killing the wolf and attracting the tiger.
"It will arrive in about three days."
The guard sent back by Zhou Ping first replied.
"My lord, Jingzhou has asked the governor of Jiangxia to send troops to attack Lujiang. Sun Ce retreated to Lujiang, leaving only Huang Gai to lead 10,000 troops to guard Liyang. At this time, it has been confirmed that Jizhou will send troops to attack, so Lu Zijing can be stationed in Hefei and ordered to pass
The general and Taishi Ziyi led their troops to Xu in a hurry to stop Cao Cao's troops. The lord followed with a large army to hold them back. When Xu and Xu were defeated, it was also the day of Cao Cao's demise."
Zhuge Liang seemed to have seen Cao Cao's imminent demise.
After all, if Jizhou and Xuzhou are combined to attack, and if Xuzhou is defeated again, Cao Cao will be captured even if he doesn't die.
Liu Bei nodded in agreement.
The next day.
Liu Bei sent people to Hefei, leaving only Lu Su to lead the troops to guard Hefei. He asked Guan Yu and Tai Shici to lead the troops and horses to rush directly to Xudu, rush in front of Cao Cao to block him, and then attack him from front to back, which would surely destroy Cao Cao.
Tai Shici is not Liu Bei's man yet, but Liu Bei helped him. Now that Xuzhou is in trouble, he should also help Liu Bei deal with Cao Cao.
Only if Cao Cao is destroyed first and Xuzhou is free from worries, Liu Bei can go all out to help him capture Danyang.
Liu Bei took Zang Ba, Gao Shun, Gan Ning and others and led more than 10,000 troops to leave Qilu to pursue Cao Cao.
Cao Cao led his troops to retreat not far when a scout came to report that thousands of enemy soldiers were chasing him. However, they were still ten miles away and did not get close. Liu Bei's army was behind him and seemed to be chasing him.
"Haha, if Xuzhou's soldiers and horses are chasing but not attacking, they must know that I am well prepared. Do you know who is leading the army in front of the pursuer?"
"It's Zhang Fei." the scout replied.
"Zhang Fei."
When Cao Cao heard that it was Zhang Fei who was leading the troops to pursue him, he looked deeply worried. This man was too brave, and Le Jin died in his hands.
However, Cao Cao soon showed joy on his face and said with a smile: "Zhang Fei can be captured!"
"Does Duke Ming want to ambush?" Guo Jia asked with a smile.
"Hahaha... you know me as a filial piety, yes, Zhang Feiyong is brave, but it is a fool's errand. If I set up an ambush, he will be captured." Cao Cao laughed.
"Zhang Fei chased us but did not attack. He was always ten miles away from us. He must have been under Liu Bei's strict orders. I'm afraid he couldn't ambush him."
"If you have a clever strategy, you can surely lure them to attack."
Instead of retreating in defeat, the commander will usually cut off the rear by himself, especially Cao Cao.
The risks involved in doing so were very high, and Sun Quan knew this very well.
In fact, Cao Cao was similar to Sun Quan. He once fled in embarrassment. When fighting Ma Chao, he let his troops go first and he walked last. As a result, Ma Chao led his troops to chase him and he almost couldn't escape.
Now Zhang Fei is a very brave general like Zhang Liao and Ma Chao. If Liu Bei hadn't repeatedly warned him, he would have led his troops to catch up and fight.
However, if Zhang Fei were to chase him and fight him, he might not be as famous as Zhang Liao.
Because Cao Cao was not Sun Quan, he asked Xiahou Yuan to lead the army in front, and he led the army to stop the rear.
He has not left the enemy territory yet. Cao Cao is always on guard against pursuing troops, and his troops and horses are always in a state of preparation for battle. Even if the enemy troops are chasing them, they can form a formation and fight immediately.
However, Zhang Fei did not catch up and fight, but followed him all the time, which was very uncomfortable.
Cao Cao asked his soldiers to throw away a lot of baggage and weapons along the way, and even armor was thrown by the roadside.
After being thrown all the way for three or four miles, Xu Huang was asked to lead three thousand soldiers to hide on the roadside, just waiting for Zhang Fei to lead his troops to chase and fight, and then suddenly rush out from the roadside. In this way, Zhang Fei would not be able to get wings.
Escaped.
"Fengxiao, do you think Zhang Fei will chase me and attack me?" Cao Cao asked Guo Jia.
Guo Jia understood Cao Cao's intention and replied with a smile: "Zhang Fei, relying on his bravery and seeing things abandoned along the way, will definitely think that our army is not in order, and will not guard against pursuing troops, but only wants to rush away, thus greedy for credit and advancing rashly."
.Ming Gong’s plan, unless Zhou Wen’an is there, Zhang Fei will definitely fall into the trap.”
"Hahaha... Zhou Wen'an knows the situation, but he may not know the soldiers. Even if he is here, he still doesn't know."
Cao Cao led Dian Wei and Yu Jin with 5,000 soldiers behind him, deliberately letting the soldiers scatter and disperse. However, if an enemy arrived, these soldiers could immediately form a fighting formation.
They walked quite slowly, always keeping an eye out for approaching enemies.
Because he did not go to Nanyang to attack Zhang Xiu first, Dian Wei was still there as Cao Cao's personal bodyguard.

"Hahaha... Li Sima, look, Cao Cao abandoned his armor and panicked and ran away."
Zhang Fei picked up a piece of armor by the roadside and said to Li Jia.
Li Jia saw many things abandoned on the road, including food, weapons and armor, flags, drums and carts, and even a lot of copper coins.
He felt something was wrong. Logically speaking, Cao Cao should have retreated safely and not be so panicked.
"Cao Cao's troops are in chaos. It seems he is about to flee. Li Sima, let's catch up and kill them. Maybe we can behead Cao Cao and take it back to our elder brother to claim our merits!"
Zhang Fei said as he got on his horse, carrying a Zhangba snake spear, he was about to lead his troops to chase and fight.uuReading www.uukanshu.com
Li Jia quickly walked in front of his horse to stop him and persuaded him: "General Zhang, although there are pursuers behind, they should not leave in such a hurry. This matter is quite fishy. We must find out the truth before making a decision."
"What's strange is that Cao Cao knew that Jizhou was about to send troops to attack Xu, and he was eager to retreat. This is the truth. If he retreats to Pengcheng, his troops increase again, and after entering the boundaries of Yuzhou, it will be useless to pursue him."
"General Zhang, even if you want to pursue, you must first send someone to report it to the lord, and at the same time ask the scouts to explore forward to see if the enemy soldiers are moving in a panic before pursuing again."
"Hmph, if we wait to send someone to report to the elder brother, how much time will be delayed by this coming and going. By then, I am afraid that Cao Cao has fled far away, and it will be futile to pursue him again. The enemy soldiers abandoned their armor in this way, which is enough to prove that They are already in a panic, and there is no need to investigate. If you dare not pursue them, I can lead the troops forward alone, and you can wait behind with others."
Li Jia thought for a while and said: "General Zhang, since you insist on pursuing the pursuit, that's it. You lead three thousand soldiers in front to attack quickly, and I lead three thousand soldiers in the rear to march slowly. If Cao Cao sets up an ambush, we will also It can be done accordingly, what do you think?"
Zhang Fei felt that this was safer, and since it was enough to lead three thousand soldiers by himself, it seemed that he had to take the credit for this.
At that moment, he led 3,000 troops and horses to pursue him. He saw many discarded things along the way, which reinforced Cao Cao's belief that Cao Cao's rear army was already panicking. He felt that this time, he would make another great contribution.
Zhang Fei hurried along with his troops and horses, and finally saw the enemy soldiers waiting in formation in front.
The person standing in front of the formation was Cao Cao, who was as short as Le Jin and was looking at him with squinted eyes.
The man next to him was tall and tall, holding two halberds, and looked very mighty.
