"General Wenyuan! Attack the city first, attack the heart first!" Wang Meng smiled and ordered someone under the tent, "Quickly prepare a note, tie it to the arrow rain and shoot it into the city! The content reads, Xiao Pingjin Those who have been lost and captured Cao GUI and Cao Shen alive will be granted the title of marquis by the general!"
In the audience, Huang Tianhua scratched his head, but he was thinking whether doing this would really be effective.
However, Huang Feihu, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang secretly hatched a clever plan. Once this plan came out, the enemy troops in Mengjin Pass would definitely be in panic.
After all, the loss of Xiaopingjin was not only a retreat for Cao and Yuan's coalition forces at Mengjing Pass, but also a hub for their food transportation. If Xiaopingjin is lost, it means that the Cao and Yuan coalition forces in Mengjin Pass have lost food and grass to support them.
"General, take your orders!" Zhang Liao received Wang Meng's general order and immediately went down to prepare.
If you want to spread the news throughout Mengjinguan as Wang Meng said, you need to write a lot of notes. Zhang Liao must go down as soon as possible to prepare.
"Fire arrows!" Early the next morning, Zhang Liao led a large group of archers and suddenly shouted in the direction of Mengjinguan.
"咻咻咻咻..."
The rain of arrows with letters tied all over the sky radiated towards the Mengjin Pass wall. The soldiers on the wall thought that their first reaction was an enemy attack, so they immediately sounded the war drums and blew the horns, and were about to enter a state of alert.
However, after only a few rounds of arrows were fired, the enemy troops actually retreated on their own initiative. Some of the monks were also confused as to what the enemy troops were planning.
The soldiers guarding the gate soon discovered the note on the arrow, but when they unfolded it, they were even more confused. This was in ancient times, and there were only a few people who could read.
"Xiaopingjin has been lost. Anyone who captures Cao GUI and Cao Shen alive will be granted the title of marquis by the general!" At this moment, a low-level officer of the Cao-Yuan coalition opened the note and read it involuntarily. But as soon as the young officer finished reading the contents of the note, he immediately reacted and quickly shut his mouth.
This young officer came from a powerful family in Jizhou. Although he did not have much cultural heritage, he could still read a few words.
As soon as this young officer opened his mouth, almost all the surrounding soldiers reacted. Now, the news may no longer be hidden. Once it is passed on to ten, if it is passed on to a hundred, it will not take long for it to spread throughout Mengjinguan.
Inside the Mengjin Pass, Cao GUI and Cao Shen were thinking about their current situation with worry. At this time, they also got the news and knew that Xiao Pingjin had been lost.
After receiving the news, the two men immediately dealt with the soldier who came to deliver the message, and tried every means to block the news to prevent the leakage of the news from causing turmoil in the military morale.
But the two of them did not expect that under Wang Meng's operation, this piece of information would soon spread throughout Mengjinguan.
"Uncle Jing, how many days can our army last with food and grass?" Cao GUI asked Cao Shen worriedly.
"Alas, there is only ten days' worth left. Even if we are frugal, we can only hold on for three more days at most!"
Regarding the current situation, Cao Shen didn't know what to do. Once the food and grass are used up, even if the enemy doesn't take the initiative to attack, they will have to collapse first.
Then, Cao Shen couldn't help but laugh at himself. At the beginning, when Wang Meng led his troops to block Mengjing Pass, they were still self-righteous in vain and excitedly thought that they had captured Mengjing Pass before enemy reinforcements arrived.
But they never thought that they had fallen into the enemy's plan from beginning to end.
"Uncle Jing, something is wrong! Something serious is going to happen!"
At this moment, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ning, and Jiao Ying appeared together and walked in side by side.
"The Jin army dropped a large number of these notes into the city with bows and arrows." The hot-tempered Xiahou Dun took out a piece of paper as soon as he entered the door and said to Cao GUI and Cao Shen anxiously.
"Although Miaocai and I have ordered all the notes to be collected and strictly ordered the soldiers not to continue the discussion, at this time, I am afraid that many soldiers already know about it!" Xiahou Dun continued to say anxiously.
"Wang Jinglue is indeed the most relied-upon counselor of King Li Xiang of the Jin Dynasty. He is so vicious that he probably wants us to lose without a fight!" Cao GUI angrily threw the note aside after reading it. Hate said.
"Now there will really be no trouble!" Cao Shen also realized the problem, and his eyebrows could not help but frown even tighter.
Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ning, and Jiao Ying were silent for a while. It was okay for them to charge into the battle, but they were not good at solving such troublesome things.
This was a killing plot that Wang Meng had planned hard for them. How could Cao GUI and Cao Shen easily find a solution in a short period of time.
"Huh, according to one person's opinion, it's better to go out and fight to the death. Kill it and turn everything upside down. Kill one to get back your money. Kill two and earn one. Don't wait here to die!" After a long time, As if he finally couldn't bear the silent atmosphere, the belligerent Jiao Ying stood up and said dissatisfiedly.
With their current strength, they still have some confidence to fight to the death. Once their food and grass are exhausted, they will no longer have the confidence to fight to the death. After all, why do these soldiers work for you when they don't even have enough food?
At that time, we can't just rely on them to fight against Wang Meng's 30,000 cavalry and Zhang Liao's garrison that evacuated from Mengjinguan!
"General, don't be impulsive. Don't go out and lose your life easily!" Cao GUI said with a headache. After all, Jiao Ying was not Cao Cao's subordinate, but Yuan Shao's subordinate. Therefore, Cao GUI couldn't help but be a little more polite when speaking to Jiao Ying.
With the power they have in their hands, if they just stick to this Mengjin Pass, it will naturally be indestructible. But if they were just born and fighting in the field, not only would they be at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, but also, if their infantry were to fight against Wang Meng's 30,000 cavalry, even if they wanted to die, they would not do so!
Cao GUI continued to think hard. He did not believe that there was any perfect strategy in the world. Every strategy had its own flaws, but he had not found them yet. As long as this flaw is found, there must be a way to deal with this strategy.
"Ding, once the effect of Cao GUI's Debate Skill is activated, during the battle, when analyzing the current battle situation, if your commander is higher than the opponent, increase your intelligence by two points; if your commander is lower than the opponent, increase your intelligence by 1 point.
The current commander Cao GUI is lower than Wang Meng, his intelligence is +1, his basic intelligence is 98, and his current intelligence has increased to 99. "
After stimulating his skills, Cao GUI's mind started spinning at an even faster speed.
