"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 alive, Cao GUI and Cao Shen, will be made 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 is not only a retreat for Cao and Yuan's coalition forces at Mengjin Pass, but also a hub for their food transportation. If Xiaopingjin is lost, it also means that Cao and Yuan's coalition forces in Mengjin Pass have lost
They got food and fodder to help.
"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.
"Xiao Pingjin has been lost. Those who capture Cao GUI and Cao Shen alive will be granted the title of marquis by the general!" At this moment, a low-level officer of Cao and Yuan's coalition opened the note and read out involuntarily. But this young officer had just
After reading the content on 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.
And as soon as this young officer opened his mouth, almost all the soldiers around him reacted. Now, I am afraid that the news will be completely hidden. It will be spread to ten, and it won't take long.
It will spread throughout Mengjinguan.
Inside the Mengjin Pass, Cao GUI and Cao Shen were thinking anxiously about their current situation. At this time, they also received news that Xiaopingjin 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 message 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 were exhausted, the enemy might have to collapse first even if they didn't take the initiative to attack.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Shen couldn't help but laugh to himself. At first, when Wang Meng led his troops to block the Mengjing Pass, they were so self-righteous that they thought they had captured the Mengjing Pass before the enemy's reinforcements arrived.
But they never thought that they had fallen into the enemy's plan from beginning to end.
"Uncle Jing, it's not good! Something bad 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." Xiahou Dun, who had a hot temper, took out a note 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.
"We're really going to be in trouble now!" Cao Shen also realized the problem and couldn't help but frown even more tightly.
Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ning, and Jiao Ying were silent for a while. It would be okay for them to charge into the battle, but they are 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. But once their food and grass are exhausted, they will no longer have the confidence to fight to the death. After all, these soldiers will not even have enough food to eat.
Why should we sacrifice our lives for you?
When the time comes, 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 is not Cao Cao's subordinate, but Yuan Shao's subordinate. Therefore, Cao GUI couldn't help but be a little more cautious when speaking to Jiao Ying.
polite.
With the power they have in their hands, if they just hold on to the Mengjin Pass, they will naturally be indestructible. But if they were to fight in the field, not only would they be at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, but they would also have to use the infantry in their hands to fight against Wang Meng's three men.
Wan Tieqi, even if he wanted to die, he didn't do it like this!
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 he found this flaw, there would be a way to deal with it.
"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's, increase your own intelligence by two points; if your commander is lower than the opponent's, increase your own intelligence by 1 point.
The current commander-in-chief 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 thinking started to spin even faster.
