Chapter 106 Clever layout of the 3-day battle, Ma Teng's death and Cao Cao's reversal

On the first day after Liu Bei sent troops to Qingzhou, Cao Cao withdrew all Liu Bei's soldiers on the defense line, opened the city gate, and at the same time concentrated all his troops to storm Ma Teng's troops. Ma Teng's troops were shocked and lost three cities in just one morning. According to the description of the guards When Cao Cao attacked, he seemed to see the smoke and dust raised by horseshoes running all over the mountains and fields. The smoke and dust covered the sky and the sun, and in the smoke and dust were thousands of Cao Jun. The soldiers and horses in the army couldn't resist at all, so they could only retreat strategically.

The same thing happened in the other two cities. The soldiers said that they had to face an army ten times their size, so they could only retreat and seek help from the larger army.

Ma Teng was surprised at first. After all, he didn't expect Cao Cao to abandon his camp and completely ignore Liu Bei's army, but pursued him as if he had killed their entire family. After all, he just killed the opponent's counselor. It's not a deep hatred, you can almost attack if you want to attack, it's time to find a step to become normal.But I didn't expect that Liu Bei, the step he had given, would make Cao Cao even crazier. He even captured three of his cities in one morning. It is time to return to Zhao.Facing such a powerful enemy army, how could Ma Teng not be surprised?

And after hearing what the soldiers in the three cities said, even Ma Teng noticed something was wrong. He called all his advisers including Pang Tong. Let him show his loyalty. This kind of naked face-slapping behavior can make Ma Teng feel an indescribable sense of superiority, which is far better than using Pang Tong to ask Liu Bei for benefits. Zhicai is better, now maybe people are already under his command, so it really takes wisdom to recruit and surrender!

But unexpectedly, before Pang Tong set off, such an accident happened. Naturally, Ma Teng could no longer show his power to Liu Bei and destroy the relationship, so he simply called Pang Tong back. This decision made his advisers quite unhappy, but the enemy is now , Ma Teng completely ignored it.

"We fell into Cao's trap!" Pang Tong was the first to speak. He knew very well that if he wanted to survive, he had to let Ma Teng see his value. If you want to take the position of Counselor Ma Teng as your lifelong career, let them envy and hate colleagues and so on. It is best to kill a few of them so that his status will rise and it will be easier to move.

Back then when he was in prison, he couldn't think of a more valuable way to die than Xi Zhicai, so he fell into the very terrifying illusion of "Isn't he as good as Xi Zhicai?" and was very discouraged. Frustrated, but Pang Tong is Pang Tong after all, and he began to think in reverse after a while. The reason why he can't die is more valuable, but because it is Cao Cao who is facing the crisis now, not Liu Bei. The situation of the protagonist is different. Naturally, their The situation is different, Xi Zhicai was taken captive, and he came by himself... Ahem, anyway, and the lord's policy is also different, although I don't know how Cao Cao asked his subordinates, but Liu Bei... ...There is hope if you live, it is really empathetic!So Pang Tong imitated Guan Yu (who falsely surrendered to Cao Cao to save Zhang Fei) and surrendered to Ma Teng without any integrity. Since it can't be compared to death, can't it be compared to live?Anyway, where is he not beating Cao Cao? When he defeats both Cao Cao and Ma Teng, that idiot Kong Ming won't be in a hurry to wipe his stool and give him the chief position?By the time……

"Military Master Pang? Military Master Pang!"

"Ai?"

"What the hell are we up to, you tell me, the lord is still waiting!" Just know that smirking, smirking can't save you!The counselor was angry.

"Oh, please look, general, Cao Cao attacked three of my cities at the same time this morning, not to mention that the guards of these three cities are not weak, the key is that these three cities are far apart, it is impossible for Cao Cao to have three cities ten times as large as mine. Otherwise, he would have dominated the world a long time ago. The only way to achieve such a large number is to concentrate all the troops and turn to the next city immediately after quickly attacking the next city. But as I said before, these three cities are far apart. It is impossible to get there right away, and at the same time, they don't need to waste time and effort to choose such a far place. From this point of view, the only possibility is that Cao Cao is using suspicious tactics!"

"Suspicious tactics?"

"It's a lie. Cao Cao must have used some method to create a lot of smoke and dust, and then let the horses run back and forth, creating the illusion of thousands of troops, so that our army was timid before fighting, and then captured three cities at the same time. strategy, and the reason why they chose cities so far apart is to prevent us from communicating in a short period of time, getting accurate information, and judging their strategies.”

"It's just a trick, my lord. We have now seen through Cao thief's poisonous plan. If they dare to use it a second time, we will make them never return!" Unexpectedly, it is so cool to say the word Cao thief, this Pang Tong He's a bit clever in picking nicknames, the counselor secretly thought.

"Well, since this is the case!" Ma Teng was worried about Cao Cao's strength, but now that it has been proved that everything is just an illusion, the loss of the three cities will not make him feel too sad. Hmph, Cao Cao can only do so now. Use this kind of fraudulent means!

Pang Tong looked at the crowd of cheering people and remained silent. If Ma Teng was really his lord, then he must have said just now that since Cao Cao was short of troops, he should immediately send troops to take back the three cities, because the three cities are far apart. Cao Cao also couldn't support at the same time. Even if he couldn't get all of them back, he would definitely have two seats. But since Ma Teng is also very happy now, he doesn't need to talk about it.

And although he didn't make any suggestions, he has been by Kong Ming's side for more than three years, and Kong Ming and Cao Cao have fought more than once or twice. Pang Tong knows very well that anyone who underestimates Cao Cao will inevitably pay a heavy price. Ma Teng has been going smoothly before. Why didn't Cao Cao do it on purpose, and since Liu Bei decided to invest in Ma Teng, Kong Ming subconsciously let Ma Teng dominate Liangzhou, and cultivated his arrogant character, which was also for the sake of not letting him grow up in the future. He will become Liu Bei's enemy, and now, it seems that he will fall directly into Cao Cao's hands before that time.It’s just that he originally thought that Cao Cao would endure and play a safe strategy, but he didn’t know why he suddenly changed his strategy. Pang Tong knew that the three cities this time were just the beginning, and what he was going to do now , is to let Ma Teng consume more of Cao Cao's strength before being completely defeated, and hold back Cao Cao's main force. By the way, he seems to have heard that the lord's Yuzhou army has infiltrated Qingzhou?Maybe he should help another group of Ma Teng, so that the lord has enough time to move the supplies back to Yuzhou?

It's a pity that this great ambition can't be realized, because Cao Cao didn't give Ma Teng any time to breathe. After capturing the three cities, Cao Cao immediately sent troops to attack Ma Teng's garrison camp. The crazy behavior made Ma Teng almost think that Cao Cao was crazy Yes, but he soon found out that he was wrong, because when Cao Jun left [-] corpses and retreated with almost all the veterans and remnants who were almost wiped out, his other two generals, Zhang Liao and Zhang Jai, had already captured the other three. The city, combined with the positions captured in the morning, officially joined the city and helped each other. At this time, even if Pang Tongxiang asked Ma Teng to send troops to snatch it back, it was already impossible-Cao Cao actually used [-] recruits to hold back almost all of Ma Teng's troops. The main force cut off their message transmission again and achieved the miraculous victory of winning six cities in one day.

At this time, Pang Tong finally knew that the commander of this operation, Cao Cao's most important advisor, was the ghostly talent Guo Jia.

"Is this here to avenge my good friend..." Pang Tong murmured, "Hey, did I say something just now? What does good chicken mean?"

In the next two days, Ma Teng really realized what it means to be stuck in the mud and cannot extricate himself.Cao Cao captured more than ten cities regardless of his sacrifices, causing his prestige in the army to drop again and again. He followed the advice of his army advisers and concentrated his forces to raid Cao Cao's flanks. However, there were many archers waiting for him. The army suffered heavy losses. When he finally opened the breakthrough of Cao's army, he found that Cao Cao had already withdrawn the defenders in the city. The chaos became a pot of porridge, and the tribal troops fought on their own, which could not constitute an effective counterattack at all.

Only then did Ma Teng realize that from the very beginning, he had been tricked by Cao Cao. Cao Cao's goal was never to take back the city, but him!

Ma Teng was forced to lead his army back to help, and when he arrived at the base camp, Cao Cao had already withdrawn, and what awaited him was the raging anger of various tribes.The reason why he can become the leader of the tribal alliance is that he is the governor of Liangzhou, and the second is that he has a close relationship with the Qiang people. However, the Han people are really unreliable. The tribal alliance that lost three leaders directly dismissed Ma Teng as leader. Military power, if it wasn't because of Mrs. Ma Teng's begging, and Ma Teng's son Ma Chao did have a good fighting power, Ma Teng would have to die now to apologize.

However, that night, Ma Teng led [-] iron cavalry from his headquarters out of the camp suddenly, but was found dead in a canyon a thousand meters away from the camp the next day, and all the cavalry he brought disappeared. The tribal leaders under him were a little agitated, and Cao Cao led troops to attack again. In desperation, the tribal leaders led their troops to retreat. Ma Chao insisted on avenging his father, and led his troops to leave the coalition alone, whereabouts are unknown.

In this way, Cao Cao recaptured six fallen cities, defeated the Ma Teng tribe's coalition forces, and reversed the unfavorable war. His miraculous three-day strategy also made his five good generals shine. The three English are on a par.And some Qingzhou merchants who were still on the sidelines also joined Cao Cao's subordinates one after another, which greatly made up for the property losses caused by Cao Cao's previous wars. Cao Cao announced that he would expand his army again in the near future.

However, although the scenery is good, the counselors and princes who really see the current affairs are not in a hurry. Although Cao Cao won this battle, it will definitely hurt his vitality. After three consecutive days of high-intensity fighting, even the brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan who have outstanding physical strength are not in a hurry. Tired hands trembled. If the tribal leaders had dared to fight during Cao Cao's last attack, they would have found that Cao Cao was just a paper tiger that could be broken with a single poke. What's more, those soldiers who don't even know what's going on in the long snake formation-even if the veterans don't die in battle, they can't have the physical strength to fight.

Cao Cao is not so much expanding his troops after the war as filling the vacancy, and this vacancy may not be filled for a while.

Of course, this does not affect the world's admiration for Cao Cao's battle. Almost all the counselors and lords admire Cao Cao's think tanks. You must know that the Xun family has always been known for their internal affairs and stability, but they did not expect to be able to do so. To implement such a vigorous and vigorous strategy, the helplessness that every counselor has to attack its strengths and avoid its weaknesses does not seem to exist in the Xun family, which really makes those families without good counselors envy and hate.

Of course, what they didn't know was that this battle really had nothing to do with the Xun brothers, on the contrary, they were firmly opposed to it. However, because Cao Cao was very determined and assigned the two of them to food and internal affairs, they could not meddle again.That is to say, all the strategic layout this time was completed by Guo Jia alone, and at the same time, he abruptly compressed the months-long battle into three days. Even a miracle could not sum up this battle.At the same time that Ma Teng died, Guo Jia also vomited blood and fell into a coma. Otherwise, Cao Cao's final attack on the tribal alliance in the early morning of the next day would never have so many flaws. Fortunately, no one in the tribal alliance discovered it at the time, otherwise the plan may fall short. .

But no matter what, Cao Cao turned the tide and won the final victory. On the second day of the victory, Cao Cao's flying pigeon arrived in Wu County.Cao Cao proposed an alliance with Wu Jun to attack Liu Bei together.

Chapter [-] of Adouxiong Balu: Afterwards, I asked Pang Tong more than once how he abducted Uncle Ma Chao...my younger brother back. Pang Tong gave me the same reaction as if the powder keg developed by Ma Jun and Mrs. Yueying just exploded , refused to say anything and ran away, walking still bumpy, and his posture was very strange.I went to ask Ma Chao again, but Ma Chao's younger brother said honestly and innocently that the one who killed his father was Cao Cao, an enemy, and Wu Jun is not a good person if he wants to make an alliance with Cao Cao. My lord, aren't you and your father an alliance?Also attack Cao Cao, if I don't take refuge in you, who will I take refuge in?

——Although Mr. Kong Ming said that this reason is a bit far-fetched, but I still believe it. I don’t know why I can understand Pang Tong’s strange walking posture, although I think it is impossible for me to be under the protection of Master Zilong and Lu Bianbian Suffering from such a low-level injury...Pang Tong, would you like to add a cushion to the chair?Mr. Kong Ming just made me a goose feather cushion yesterday, it is very soft and comfortable to sit on!

Alliance with Cao Cao is not a good person, my lord, are you not an alliance with your father?Also attack Cao Cao, if I don't take refuge in you, who will I take refuge in?
