During this period of time, Wang Can almost did not launch an attack, and kept guarding Hulao Pass to keep Cao's army out. What is strange is that Cao Cao did not send troops either, seeming to be waiting for an opportunity.
Shi A hurriedly walked into the Chinese army's tent, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from Bingzhou."
Wang Can raised his eyebrows and asked hurriedly: "Tell me, what's the good news?"
Shi A said: "Mr. Fa sent back news that the army fought against Sima Yi in Jinyang City and killed nearly 60,000 Sima Yi's soldiers and only lost more than a thousand people. As Xiahou Dun led 100,000 Wei troops to approach Jinyang, Mr. Fa gave up.
In order to suppress the encirclement and suppression of Sima Yi, we temporarily withdrew from Jinyang and continued to fight against Sima Yi."
Wang Can looked surprised and asked: "Shi A, are you sure the news is correct? Sima Yi's 60,000 Wei army was really destroyed with the loss of only more than a thousand people."
Shi A handed the letter to Wang Can and said: "Your Majesty, the letter explains clearly and has detailed procedures."
Wang Can browsed quickly, with a smile on his face. Fa Zheng was so powerful that he even knocked Sima Yi over, but Sima Yi was not bad either. The two of them could be said to be equals.
Wang Can ordered: "Shi Ah, send a message to Fazheng so that Fazheng doesn't have to worry about the gains and losses of a city or a place. It would be good to destroy the Wei army commanded by Sima Yi. Try your best to eliminate the effective strength of the Wei army."
"Yes, I will go and deliver the message right away."
Shi A bowed to Wang Can again and prepared to leave.
He had just taken two steps when he heard Wang Can shout again: "Inform Lu Meng and ask him to come see me."
"promise!!"
Shi A replied and hurried to convey the order.
After a while, Lü Meng came to the tent, bowed and said: "General Lü Meng, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Wang Can waved his hand and said casually: "There are only two of us, master and disciple, in the camp. No need to be polite. I came to you because I have something to do for you."
Lu Meng cupped his fists and said, "Teacher, please give me your instructions."
"Let's take a look at the news first." Wang Can picked up the letter sent by Shi A and handed it to Lu Meng.
Lu Meng quickly read it, with a smile on his face, and said loudly: "Teacher, Mr. Fa is really powerful. He destroyed 60,000 Wei troops under Sima Yi in one move. What a great deal. If Cao Cao learns about the war in the north, he will definitely be angry.
Vomiting blood. Cao Cao stationed his troops in a tight cell just to wait for Sima Yi to perform meritorious service. Unexpectedly, Sima Yi not only failed to perform meritorious service, but also lost the lives of 60,000 soldiers. It was so refreshing and very satisfying."
After a pause, Lu Meng asked: "Teacher, what do you mean by looking for a disciple?"
Fazheng won a great victory, and Lü Meng was happy.
However, Lu Meng was confused and didn't understand what Wang Can asked him to do?
Wang Can smiled and said: "We got the news one step ahead of Cao Cao, so naturally we have to tell Cao Cao. You immediately select a thousand archers from the military camp, and then write the news of the destruction of the 60,000 Wei army in Bingzhou on a piece of paper and tie it with bows and arrows.
With the note, he shot it into the Wei army camp to shake the morale of the Wei army soldiers."
"Disciple, go and do it now."
Lu Meng agreed with a smile, looking very excited.
…
Wei army camp, Chinese army tent.
A burst of hearty laughter came from the camp, and the voice belonged to Cao Cao.
Previously, 30,000 new-style Han knives purchased by Jushu and Hua Xin in Chengdu were sent to Yizhou and passed north from Runan to Cao Cao. Without saying anything, Cao Cao directly distributed 3,000 new-style Han knives to the Hubao Cavalry.
soldiers, and distributed the remaining 27,000 new Han knives to the soldiers in the army, preparing for a battle with Wang Can.
With sharp weapons and elite Wei soldiers, Cao Cao was not afraid of Wang Can's soldiers.
Cao Cao looked excited and paced back and forth in the camp with great satisfaction. He walked up to Xu Chu and asked: "Zhongkang, are the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry equipped with Han swords confident of defeating the light cavalry under Wang Can's command?"
Xu Chu said loudly: "Your Majesty, even without the sharp Han sword, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry can still win."
Cao Cao turned his eyes and asked: "Zi Yang, I want to fight Wang Can, what do you think?"
Liu Ye said: "It all depends on your Majesty."
"Woo! Woo!!!"
While Cao Cao was talking to his subordinates and generals, a trumpet sound suddenly sounded in the camp. This was a trumpet sound that was only used when enemy troops were attacking. The rhythm played was different from the rhythm of charging into battle. Cao Cao heard the sound of the trumpet, took big steps, and was stunned.
He left the camp in one fell swoop and prepared to gather the soldiers in the military camp.
"Duh! Duh!!"
As soon as he walked out of the camp, two bows and arrows shot from the sky and hit the ground in front of Cao Cao.
Immediately afterwards, several more bows and arrows came.
Cao Cao bent down, quickly picked up a bow and arrow from the ground, and quickly returned to the camp. Xu Chu and others also retreated, holding bows and arrows in their hands, and took off the small note tied to the arrow shaft. They
They were all experienced people. As soon as they saw the note tied to the shaft of the bow and arrow, they knew that the enemy attack was fake and the Shu army did not launch an attack.
"Asshole!!"
After reading the content on the note, Cao Cao cursed.
He returned to his seat with his bow and arrow, slammed the bow and arrow on the desk, and shouted loudly: "Fazheng only lost a thousand Shu soldiers, but Sima Yi killed and wounded 60,000 Wei soldiers. What does this mean?"
"
Xu Chu thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Can may have made it up deliberately to shake the morale of the army."
Cao Cao snorted and said nothing.
Xu Huang shook his head and said seriously: "General Xu, Wang Can made people shoot arrows with great fanfare to spread the word about the battle in Bingzhou. He must have won a victory, so he dared to say so. As for whether the casualty ratio on the note is true, it remains to be discussed. However,
What is certain is that the Wei army was defeated and the Shu army was victorious. This cannot be wrong."
Everyone in the big tent looked solemn.
Unexpectedly, Sima Yi was defeated, which is puzzling.
Sima Yi led Ma Chao into Bingzhou, killed high-ranking officials, made an emergency landing, and took control of Bingzhou. This was something that everyone in Wei knew. Sima Yi set up a net in Jinyang and waited for Fazheng to jump in. In the end, the fisherman failed to do it.
Became prey.
Such a result has subverted everyone's perception.
He opened his jaw and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the news of Bingzhou has not been sent back yet, everything is unknown. Now that we have the Han Dao, soldiers are not afraid of the sharp weapons of the Shu army. In this case, why not have a battle with Wang Can, as long as he defeats
Without Wang Can, even if the war in Bingzhou goes unfavorably, it doesn't matter."
Chen Qun stood up and continued: "Your Majesty, Sima Yi was defeated, but the news did not say that Sima Yi and Ma Chao were killed, which proves that the war in Bingzhou will continue. Furthermore, General Xiahou still has a hundred thousand troops, so he is not afraid of justice.
"
Cao Cao nodded, grabbed the bow and arrow stuck on the desk, and shouted: "Gather the soldiers and prepare to go to war!"
"Report!!"
At this time, Dong Zhao hurried in.
Dong Zhao saluted Cao Cao and said: "Your Majesty, after the soldiers of the Shu army finished shooting their bows and arrows, they all retreated. The soldiers in the military camp know the news of Sima Yi's defeat. How should they deal with it?"
Cao Cao snorted and said: "No need to deal with it, beat the drums and gather troops immediately to attack Hulao Pass."
Dong Zhao said: "Your Majesty, the morale of the army is not stable, I'm afraid..."
Cao Cao stared at Dong Zhao and shouted: "What are you afraid of? Just tell the soldiers in the army that this is Wang Can's little trick to disturb the morale of the army. If my generals can't even stabilize this matter, why are they fighting?
? Just go home and farm! Send an order to the generals at all levels in the army to stabilize their morale and prepare for war."
"promise!!"
Dong Zhao got the order and hurried to convey it.
Xu Chu, Zhang Jia and other generals are undoubtedly the most excited. The Wei army has been suppressed by the Shu army. Now the Wei army soldiers have sharp weapons, which is simply wonderful.
In half an hour, the army was assembled.
Cao Cao led an army of 100,000 people out of the military camp and rushed towards Hulao Pass.
The news was picked up by Shu army sentries and reached Wang Can's ears. Wang Can did not hesitate, and immediately summoned his generals, led the army out of Hulao Pass, and formed an array outside the pass.
"Boom!"
A deafening sound came, and Cao Cao led the army on the road quickly. Looking at it, it was dark, heads were shaking, and the lineup was strong.
The soldiers of the Wei army were holding swords and looked menacing.
Tigers and leopards rode on the left and right sides of the army, and followed the army to kill.
Wang Can grinned when he saw the Han Dao held by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers.
The new Han Dao, wasn't this a pit Wang Can dug for Cao Cao? It's a pity that Cao Cao didn't discover the tricks of the new Han Dao, and it was destined that Cao Cao would have to suffer a big mistake in Wang Can's hands.
Lu Meng saw Wang Can smiling and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you laughing?"
Wang Can said: "This battle is going to be a good show." After a pause, Wang Can ordered: "Amen, immediately mobilize the three thousand light cavalry left in Hulao Pass. In this battle, the light cavalry will
We will definitely fight against Cao Cao’s Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and let all the light cavalry use Han swords instead of big guns."
Lu Meng was confused and didn't know why Wang Can gave such an order.
Although he didn't understand, Lu Meng still carried out the order honestly and mobilized the light cavalry.
