Chapter 443
It was getting dark, with thick clouds covering the sky.
Cao Ying is still lifeless, and this situation has remained unchanged.
A long time passed in torment, and there was no sound of mourning in Cao Yingzhong, nor was there any white silk hanging high up. The hustle and bustle of the day gradually quieted down with the night.
Everything that happened in Cao Ying was reported by Yan Yan's spies.
After Zhang Ren listened, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Cao Jun's reaction was a bit too normal, so normal that they felt abnormal.
Cao Cao was seriously injured by an arrow shot by him. Cao Jun either launched an army to avenge him, or he was worried about Cao Cao's injury and withdrew as soon as possible.
No matter what they choose, they shouldn't calm down slowly like now.
The mountain wind blew, and Yan Yan's gray beard Wei Wei trembled.
He was also frowning and thinking, and it took a long time before his eyes lit up, and he said in a surprised voice: "Cao Ying is as calm as water now, neither leading the army to retreat, nor coming to attack. After much deliberation, there is only one possibility, that is, Cao Cao was really killed. The general was seriously wounded by the shot, so he deliberately stood still and pretended to be normal, so that we could not figure out the truth. And it is very likely that Cao Cao has been secretly sent back to Sili for first aid. The so-called appearance of the camp is just Cheng Yu, the military adviser It’s just a disguise to deceive others, so that we dare not enter lightly.”
"That's right, once the soldiers in the Cao camp know that Cao Cao retreated first because of serious injuries, their morale will be devastated. Cheng Yu will definitely not let such a thing happen. So he keeps calm now and tries his best to cover it up. We thought that Cao Cao was fine, and it was also for the purpose of stabilizing his troops."
Zhang Ren also quickly figured out that if Cao Cao was pretending to be injured, he would definitely take the opportunity to make arrangements by having the soldiers wear white clothes and hang white cloth to make it look like he was dead to lure them out of the pass to attack the camp. .
But now that Cao's camp is heavily armed but still holding back, it is most likely that the camp is empty and most of the troops have quietly withdrawn.
After all, Cao Cao is now seriously injured, and the two armies of Wang Xuance and Liu Bei are within reach. If Cheng Yu and the others continue to consume here, they can only be continuously counterattacked by Yizhou's concentrated forces.
Even in the end, all the checkpoints including Kuoyangping pass will be taken back by the Yizhou army. It is better to plan early and retreat in advance without anyone noticing.
"Old general, we have been frustrated for so long, shouldn't we also go out of the city to fight?"
Judging that the Cao camp is currently empty of troops, and Cheng Yu and other important figures of the Cao army are still in the Cao army camp not far away, Zhang Ren's mind immediately became alive, and he wanted to go to the camp to make greater contributions .
Yan Yan looked at the damaged Jianmen Pass, the wall was covered with sores, and suddenly that inexplicable uneasiness came to his heart again.
"The risk of leaving the customs is too high. Everything before is just your speculation. Once Cao Jun sets up an ambush, you and I will not only go but never return. I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold the Jianmen Pass. General, remember, We have only one task now, and that is to firmly guard the Jianmen Pass until the arrival of General Xuan Ce or Liu Gong!"
Although Yan Yan had the same idea as Zhang Ren and couldn't wait to lead troops to attack the camp to capture Cheng Yu and others, this uneasy feeling had lasted for a long time and made him change his mind temporarily.
"Old General, you once taught me that when marching and fighting, you can only be undefeated if you are steady, and you can achieve great success by adapting to changes. Today Yang Xuangan has attacked the city wall. As long as Cao Jun fights for several hours without hesitation of casualties, we may not be able to defend this pass. Look at it this way Come, Cao Cao must have been seriously injured before he hurriedly withdrew his troops. But now Cao Cao's troops are patrolling, their swords are drawn, but no action has been taken. Even Wang Yanzhang and other generals have disappeared. There is no doubt that they must have led their troops to retreat and set up a trap. An empty city tactic, deliberately blocking our pursuit."
Seeing that Yan Yan shook his head and disagreed, Zhang Ren was in a hurry, and quickly persuaded: "We are not going to fight Cao Jun to the death. We can advance and retreat freely. We just need to find opportunities to catch Cheng Yu and other important people, and break Cao Cao's arm. Moreover, if Cao Cao is really dead, we will definitely cause chaos in the Cao camp if we go in this way, and we don't even need to do anything, Cao Jun will mess up when he knows the news."
Yan Yan's complexion gradually softened, Zhang Ren's words made sense, and they would basically weaken Cao Cao's power greatly.
If it can confirm Cao Cao's death, or make Cao Cao's injury worse after receiving the news, their efforts will not be considered in vain, and they will make great contributions.
Seeing that Yan Yan's expression was no longer so resolute, Zhang Ren felt a little happy in his heart, and hit the rails while it was hot: "Our night attack this time did not act rashly, as long as we do this, and if we do this again, we can determine the reality of Cao Ying. Absolutely not going to fall for it.”
Zhang Ren whispered something in Yan Yan's ear.
Yan Yan's eyes lit up as he listened, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually disappeared.
"The general's plan will surely keep our army safe."
After Yan Yan heard this, she was overjoyed, no longer entangled, and immediately ordered the soldiers and horses to take the time to rest, and act immediately when the sky is completely dark.
About an hour later, the sound of frogs and insects outside Jianmen Pass could be heard endlessly.
There was only a "creak" sound, and the long-closed gate of Jianmen was quietly opened, and a well-trained army came out slowly, led by Zhang Renshiye, the general of Shuzhong.
After all, Yan Yan still hadn't made up his mind completely, and didn't dare to take all the soldiers and horses out of the city to attack the camp.
In the end, Zhang Ren was only allowed to lead the remaining [-] elites, but he continued to stand firm at Jianmen Pass with a group of old, weak and wounded soldiers.
Zhang Ren didn't have any opinion either. According to Cao Ying's current situation, it doesn't need too many troops to attack. It only needs to use a little external force to pierce Cheng Yu's plot, so that Cao Jun's soldiers can see the truth, and they can fight themselves. chaos.
At that time, he took advantage of the chaos to act, and five thousand troops would be enough to capture Cheng Yu.
Once the action is successful, it will definitely make Cao Cao, who is seriously injured, anxious, and maybe he will be so angry to death.
What's more, in Zhang Ren's view, Cao Cao would have no reason to live with his arrow!
Zhang Ren led the soldiers and horses, and instead of taking the stone road, he went to the depths of the forest and gradually groped for Cao Ying.
Fortunately, the soldiers and horses under his command are all natives of Yizhou. They are already accustomed to the dark nights in the mountains and are fully prepared. They are not afraid of poisonous snakes or mosquito bites.
"Cao's camp is indeed a lot empty. Although Cheng Yu is resourceful, he is still careless. The lights in their camp are much sparser."
Zhang Ren stood on a hilltop and saw that most of the lights in Cao's camp were obviously missing, and he was even more certain that Cao's army had secretly withdrawn.
In fact, Cheng Yu couldn't be blamed for being careless, because he was in the camp, unlike Zhang Ren who stood far away, and could intuitively detect the abnormality at a glance.
However, Zhang Ren was still very cautious, and he did not immediately lead his troops to attack the camp rashly.
But after observing for a long time, Zhang Ren made sure that nothing was missing, then waved his hand and led the soldiers down the mountain to hunt like a nimble lynx!
