Chapter 629: Attacking the heart first
It is said that Cao Cao's army arrived at Runan City. Yang Feng and Han Xian suddenly heard the bad news, and their troops hunkered down in Runan City and did not dare to attack. An urgent letter requesting Yuan Shu's reinforcements had already been sent out. Yang Fengzhan and He were hesitant, but Han Xian just wanted to escape.
In the tent of Cao Cao's Chinese army, Cheng Yu and Cao Cao had an in-depth discussion on Cao's army's offensive strategy while eating noodles. Although there are many powerful generals in Cao's army, Cao Cao is still accustomed to exchanging opinions with his own planners every time he makes a decision. As for those generals, except for a few generals, most of them are brave but not wise.
Cheng Yu was originally a ruthless person, but Cao Cao's plan to attack Xiangyang still surprised Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu knew that Cao Cao had the temperament to use dangerous troops, and did not dare to persuade him. He only pointed out that attacking Wancheng was more strategically significant than attacking Xiangyang, and since Zhao Yun of Wancheng led his troops to surprise Hefei, Wancheng must be empty, and Wancheng must be empty. The battle for the city is guaranteed to be won.
Cheng Yu's analysis was very accurate, and there was naturally a lot of truth to it, but Cao Cao was still noncommittal and ordered: "Zhongde! You have two days to capture Runan City."
Cheng Yu nodded with a smile and said: "It's just Runan, why use two days? I would like to issue a military order and promise to capture the whole city within one day. I only need my lord to agree to one condition."
Cao Cao was also confident, so he smiled and said, "Zhongde wants me to fight in person?"
Cheng Yu laughed and said: "If the lord comes to the city in person to supervise the battle, it is not easy to capture him! But there is no way to kill a chicken with a bull's knife. I can only ask the lord to write a letter."
Cao Cao nodded slightly and said, "Zhongde wants to attack the heart first?"
Cheng Yu nodded and said: "When two powerful forces fight, the priority is to attack the heart. The two generals Yang Feng and Han Xian were originally Han Dynasty generals. Due to various reasons, they had no choice but to join the rebels. Today, the prime minister has a great reputation, and his strength is arrogant among the others. He also has The orthodox emperor of the Han family is backing his lord in Taishan County. This letter of surrender is well-deserved and justified! This is giving these rebellious people the best chance to recruit them anyway! In addition, the lord rewards them both with a big man. Later, I predict that when Yang Feng and Han Xian see this letter, they will probably come to surrender, or at least start a dispute."
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this. His literary quality was one of the best during the Three Kingdoms period. He immediately picked up his pen and wrote an emotional letter to persuade him to surrender. The book says: "The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty stopped at the feet of the two generals Yang and Han: The generals are fine, I am very fortunate! Recalling the past years, the two generals bravely defeated the three armies before they came into the world. Due to changes in circumstances, Zhu Lunhua's hub supported thousands of miles and stretched across the country. How strong it is inside and outside! How can it be that once you are a fleeing prisoner, if you hear the cry of dysprosium and fight with your back, or bend your knees to the dome, how evil is it!"
"When I was looking for the king to leave, it was because he could not judge myself internally, I was exposed to rumors from the outside, and I was addicted to it, which led to this. The Holy Dynasty pardoned the sins and blamed the merits, abandoned the flaws and hired them, promoted the whole world with a sincere heart, and settled down on the side. All things. What the general knows is not as good as a servant's talk. Although he accidentally fell into Bai Bo, the Han Dynasty master did not doubt it and treated him as before. Moreover, the two generals have no sins of the past, and their honors are more important than in the world! When you have lost your way, you will find your way back, and you will find your way back. You will not be far away, and you will find your ancestors are high. The Lord bends the law to express his kindness, but swallows the boat and it is a leak; the general does not cut the pines and cypresses, his relatives live in peace, the high platform does not fall, and you have a carefree heart, what can you say! Today's distinguished generals, flying geese in an orderly manner, wearing purple and yellow, praising the strategy of curtains and gates, riding on horseback to build festivals, taking charge of the territory, and swearing oaths on horses, passing them on to their descendants. The general, with his shy face, took advantage of his orders and rode on felt fur coats. Chang, I’d rather not be sad!”
"The frost and dew of the husband are uniform and sterile; in the old kingdom of Ji and Han, there is no hybrid. Yuan Shu is a traitor to the country by claiming the title of emperor. I regard him as a withered bone in a tomb with his head hanging in the street, and a general fish swimming in a boiling cauldron." In the middle, the swallow's nest is above the flying curtain. Isn't it confusing that the general will look down upon it?"
"In late spring, in March, the grass grows in the south of the Yangtze River, there are mixed peanut trees, and flocks of orioles fly around. Seeing the flags and drums of the motherland, I feel that I have been born in the past, stroking the strings and climbing the ridge, and I am not sad! Therefore, Lian Gong misses General Zhao, and Wu Zi weeps Xihe, human feelings are like this, how can a general be merciless? If you practice good discipline early, you will be blessed."
"The current emperor is prosperous, and Cao will die to assist you. Your Highness Linchuan will attack Runan with an army. If you don't change your ways, the white dew will turn to frost, and the jade will turn into powder. I will convey my love to you, and I will take care of you. Return quickly and surrender without losing anything." The position of Anlehou is important for the Han Dynasty's orthodoxy, guarding the borders for the country. The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty bowed his head and thanked him."
Cao Mengde threw away his bald pen and laughed. Cheng Yu unfolded the letter and took a brief look at it. He couldn't help but sincerely praise: "The Prime Minister's magic pen, when this letter comes, the troops in Runan City will not be killed. Here comes someone!"
The general under the tent was the guard chief Dian Wei. He immediately agreed and entered the tent to wait for instructions. Cheng Yu said: "General Dian Wei, you should hurry up and fetch General Xu Chu!"
Dian Wei originally thought that his lord and military advisor had asked him to go into battle, and he was excited. Unexpectedly, he was only asked to find someone, and it was to find Xu Chu, whom he had always been dissatisfied with. Even though I am stupid and incompetent, I can still do things that I can do. Please give me your orders, military advisor!"
Cheng Yu didn't expect Dian Wei to say such a thing. He forgot that Cao Cao was nearby, slammed a plate on the table, and said angrily: "You black guy! If you go, who will be responsible for the safety of the lord! If you continue to mess around, you will be punished by military law!" "
Cao Cao knew that Cheng Yu had a strong temperament, so he turned his hands away and looked away from Dian Wei, as if he was staying out of the matter. Although Dian Wei did not dare to disobey the military advisor, he hated people calling him a bastard the most in his life. He immediately choked and said: "Let Xu Chu come to protect the lord! The young general is willing to lead five hundred troops and capture Runan City before tonight! Otherwise, I will raise my head." Come and see me!”
Cheng Yu laughed angrily when he saw the stupid big man in front of him accepting death, and suddenly shouted: "Where is the tiger and leopard riding outside the tent!"
Immediately, a dozen black-armored warriors rushed in outside the tent. They were all strong and strong, with bright sabers hanging on their waists. They were the subordinates of Cao Chun, commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Although these people are controlled by Dian Wei on a daily basis, they actually obey the orders of the Cao family and are absolute soldiers of the Cao family.
Cheng Yu pointed at Dian Wei and shouted: "This black guy disobeyed military orders, pull him out quickly and give me thirty military sticks!"
The tiger and leopard riders were all stunned and looked at Cao Cao behind Cheng Yu. Cao Cao raised his eyebrows without even raising his eyelids. The tigers and leopards saw that their lord did not show any sign, so they had no choice but to obey the military order and pushed Dianwei to the ground. With great effort, they carried Dianwei outside the tent. The sound of spanking with military sticks was immediately heard, but they heard Not seeing Dian Wei's screams, it was obvious that Dian Wei endured the pain and kept silent.
Cheng Yu asked people to fetch Xu Chu again, and Xu Chu arrived a short time later. He was very surprised to see Dian Wei being beaten, but he did not dare to ask more questions, so he went into the tent to see Cao Cao and Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu ordered: "General Xu, Yang Feng and Han Xian were Han generals in the past. They were accidentally kidnapped by thieves, and that's why they bent down to work today. Now the letter of surrender written by the Prime Minister needs to be delivered to these two people, so that the order can be ordered. He returned to the Han Dynasty, and the lives of Runan would not be ruined. You quickly ordered many copies of the Prime Minister's letter, led a thousand troops close to the city wall, and fired arrows. Then you tied the copied letter to the arrow and shot it over the city. ."
Xu Chu obeyed the order and carried Cao Cao's letter in his arms. Cheng Yu continued to give the order: "You are here to inform Le Jin and Cao Hong that the soldiers will be divided into two groups, each with ten thousand troops. After your thousand troops, they will be divided into left and right flanks to guard the flanks. If Yang Feng and Han Siam return to surrender, accept them as soon as possible. Because in the future I will see the Prime Minister salute you in the big tent." Xu Chu cupped his hands again and said, "I have the order!"
After Cheng Yu finished giving instructions, he saw that Xu Chu was lingering, so he understood his intention and said, "Go out and send the order to let that black guy go." Xu Chu nodded in agreement, and this time turned around like a whirlwind and shouted outside the tent. Said: "The military advisor has an order, release General Dian Wei immediately!"
Unexpectedly, Dian Wei didn't appreciate it, and said in a rough voice: "Fuck you Xu Zhongkang! Finish the order quickly! Hit harder, like scratching an itch, haven't you eaten?" Xu Chu shook his head helplessly, Cheng Yu looked at his lord in the tent, his expression seemed to be smiling but not crying, and he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.
