Although Cao Cao was the prime minister, he had a strict upbringing. Although Cao Zhi returned to Xudu, he brought a lot of information about Jingxiang, so that Cao Cao could understand Jingxiang's current strength from the side, but he still could not avoid Cao Cao's punishment. Cao Zhi was ordered by Cao Cao , confined to home for three months.
This kind of punishment was beyond Cao Zhi's expectation. It was not that Cao Cao's punishment was too severe, but that it was too light.
Cao Cao had always lost face when writing a letter to Jing Xiang. Cao Zhi had already prepared himself for his father's anger. However, the slap of the board made Cao Zhi feel a little dizzy. Cao Zhi looked weird. Looking at Cao Cao, he did not dare to speak. Cao Cao only glanced at Cao Zhi and smiled softly: "Why, is it because my father treated me too lightly?"
"I do have such thoughts." Cao Zhi was quite magnanimous in front of Cao Cao. After saying this, he sighed softly and said: "Although I have deep admiration for Mrs. Zhen, when I went to Jingxiang this time, I had no feelings in my heart. I regretted it, but it caused my father to suffer, so I wrote a letter to the Marquis of Tang to plead for mercy for my son. When my son returned, he was already prepared to be severely punished by his father."
"Since Ang'er died in Wancheng, Cao no longer wanted to experience this heartbreaking pain. When he wrote to Pang Shanmin, he was still a little embarrassed as a father, but after writing, he couldn't help but express his heartfelt feelings" Cao Cao After saying that, he smiled bitterly, obviously recalling the death of Cao Ang. Cao Zhi saw that his father was sad and hurriedly offered words of comfort.
It¡¯s just that Cao Cao is a hero after all, so he felt a little sad and fleeting. After Cao Zhi left, Cao Cao sighed softly, returned to the desk and sat down, looking through the recent Qingzhou battle reports.
Since Cao Cao led 100,000 troops and horses back to Xudu to farm, the situation in Qingzhou has changed. There are changes again.
Zhou Yu is indeed a man unwilling to be left alone. Now the Sun and Cao families in Qingzhou have 50,000 troops and horses each. Jiangdong's army and horses are frequently seen in various places in Qingzhou. Jiangdong's army either attacks small towns or passes. However, it did not occupy the counties and important cities of Qingzhou, and the Jiangdong army and horses, which came and went like the wind, just beat them and left. Sometimes the county town that failed to rescue was destroyed by Jiangdong.
However, in contrast, Guo Jia and Jia Xu were not in a hurry to fight Jiangdong's troops. They turned a deaf ear to the harassment of Jiangdong's army, but actually sent out scouts to explore the marching route of Jiangdong's army and horses, in order to find out where the main force of Jiangdong's army and horses were located in each county. Recently, Guo Jia and Jia Xu have found out. It is entrenched in the mountains of Linzi and Donglai. Taishi Ci and Ling Tong led more than 30,000 main troops and horses. Guo Jia and Jia Xu were ready to join forces to determine the situation in the two counties in one battle.
"If these 30,000 Jiangdong troops are destroyed, the secret army and horses led by Zhou Yu are hidden in Beihai. It is unlikely to be a major event, and for the mighty Cao army, it is just a scabies problem.
Even Taishi Ci, who was always astute, had not noticed the excitement in Qingzhou. Secretly, Cao's troops from all walks of life in Qingzhou were making strange movements, like snakes waiting for opportunities. Stared at him.
Although Taishi Ci lived a life of "thieves and bandits" entrenched in the mountains and achieved many victories, he was somewhat resistant to such difficult days. In the past, he had to avoid the direction of Cao Cao's 150,000-strong army, but he had no choice but to do so. Now there are only five people left in Qingzhou. With thousands of soldiers and horses, one against one, Taishi Ci didn't think that Jiangdong needed to be afraid of Cao's army!
Surrounded by mountains and surrounded by dense forests, Taishi Ci led his Jiangdong army and horses to camp in the mountains. They kept quiet. Looking from the outside, it was impossible to detect anything strange in the mountains and forests. Only after entering the mountains would one know about the mountains. There is a special cave in it!
In early spring, the grass and trees have sprouted new leaves. This pair of Jiangdong army and horses are hiding in the forest, which has an extra guarantee. There are sometimes tents in the forest with fireflies twinkling. In recent days, Cao Cao's army has returned, and Taishi Ci is also there. Previously, I had relaxed a bit of vigilance.
It was dark and windy at night, but there were sounds of rustling sounds coming from outside the mountain forest. Many soldiers in black clothes and black armor placed firewood outside the mountain forest and sprayed fire oil. Five miles outside the mountain, Guo Jia looked towards the dense forest. , his eyes lingered for a long time, and the smile on his face also added a hint of coldness.
Not long after, soldiers came to report, saying that the fire objects were ready, and that the mountain would be set on fire as long as the military advisor gave the order. When Guo Jia heard this, he looked up at the dark sky and chuckled: "The rare northwest wind is just right for setting fire to the forest. It seems that God will not allow Jiangdong to happen!"
After that, Guo Jia gave the order and saw a raging fire burning at the foot of the mountain. Not long after, the sound of neighing people and horses came from the mountain forest. Guo Jia sneered and said to Xiahou Dun beside him: "Yuan Let's capture Tai Shi Ci alive when we are ready!"
Hearing this, Xiahou Dun grinned, led his tiger and leopard cavalry, and flew away by the light of the fire.
Taishi Ci inspected the camp in the mountain and was about to go to bed when he saw fires on all sides below the mountain. He suddenly became alert and knew that the whereabouts of the army had been discovered by Cao Jun. Now Cao Jun was ready, but most of his soldiers were sleeping, and at the foot of the mountain The fire has destroyed the morale of the army
Thinking of this, Taishi Ci hurriedly made a plan and ordered all the generals to tell the soldiers to gather in one place and rush out. Don't fight again.Cao Jun was entangled.
However, before Taishi Ci could organize his army, he heard that there were screams of agony from the front army camp, and there were many fire arrows coming from the foot of the mountain. The fire took advantage of the wind and burned bigger and bigger. Taishi Ci led a group of soldiers and horses and hurriedly stepped forward. Get on the Qingqi, seize the road and escape, toward the back mountain where the fire is less intense, and gallop away. After only running for a few miles, Taishi Ci hears the sound of shouting in the dark night, and stabs out a brigade of iron cavalry on the forest road at the foot of the mountain. , the general at the head was none other than the one-eyed general of Cao Ying whom we had met once before!
"Tai Shi Ci, you can tell me to wait!" Xiahou Dun laughed loudly, drew his gun and came to fight Tai Shi Ci. Tai Shi Ci knew that the army was defeated and had no intention of fighting. After fighting Xiahou Dun for two rounds, he drew his horse and retreated.
Seeing that Taishi Ci wanted to escape, how could Xiahou Dun let the enemy in front of him achieve his wish? Immediately, he tightened the reins of his horse, turned his horse's head and chased away, shouting: "You despicable person, why didn't you shoot your arrow today? Why don't you shoot again for me? And in the dark night, you still dare to wear white clothes and white armor , dressed like this, don¡¯t you believe that I can¡¯t capture you?¡±
Although Taishi Ci felt annoyed after hearing this, he had no intention of arguing with Xiahou Dun. In the current situation, we should try our best to preserve the effective strength of Jiangdong's army and horses. A little shame can be recovered from the battlefield in the future.
Taishi Ci led nearly a thousand Qingqi, fought and retreated, and walked to the foot of the mountain. There were less than a hundred Qingqi on the left and right, and they were too tired to fight anymore.
However, Xiahou Dun was like a maggot attached to his bones, dying to be chased from behind. In the mountains and forests, it was dark again, and the light cavalry could not take advantage of its speed. Instead, Xiahou Dun took advantage of the iron cavalry and chased him closer and closer. Just as Taishi Ci was hesitating and had no idea. At that time, another cannon shot was heard on the road at the foot of the mountain. Taishi Ci looked for the sound and saw that dense black armored soldiers had completely blocked the road. The old scholar at the head of the mountain rode his horse and whipped his whip, pointing at Taishi Ci from a distance. He smiled and said, "Taishi Ziyi, why don't you get off your horse and be bound? Jia Wenhe has been waiting for you for a long time!"
