After receiving Xiahou Yuan's request for help, Cao Cao divided into three groups. The front vanguard Xiahou Dun, who led the central army himself, Cao Xiu held the back, and the three armies set out one after another. Cao Cao rode a white horse, a golden saddle, wearing a jade belt and a brocade clothes, beside him
The warrior was holding a golden umbrella cover in his hand. The weapons used by the soldiers on both sides were golden gourds and silver axes, stirrups, spears, and flags of sun, moon, dragons and phoenixes. There were more than 25,000 troops dedicated to protecting Cao Cao's safety.
Five teams were divided into five groups, according to the five colors of green, yellow, red, white, and black, each with its own banner, brilliant and majestic. When the troops left Tongguan, Cao Cao saw a forest that was very lush, so he
Asked the soldiers around him, "Where is this place?"
He replied: "It's Lantian, in the middle of the woods, Cai Yongzhuang, and now it's Yong's daughter Cai Yan and her husband Dong Si who live in this place."
Cao Cao and Cai Yong had a good personal relationship. At that time, his daughter Cai Yan was Wei Zhongdao's wife. Later, she was abducted by northerners and gave birth to two sons in the north. She also wrote "Eighteen Beats of Hu Zi",
It was circulated into the Central Plains. Cao Cao felt that this woman's fate was very miserable, so he sent someone to the north to redeem her. The Zuo Xianwang was afraid of Cao Cao's power in the Central Plains, so he returned Cai Yan, and Cao Cao betrothed him.
He was the wife of Dong Si, and he came here in a marching and war. When he remembered Cai Yong's incident, he asked most of his troops to leave first, and took more than a hundred surprise soldiers to the manor to get off the horse and call the door.
Dong Si was not at home, only Cai Yan was at home. She was very surprised when she heard that Cao Cao was coming and hurriedly came out to greet him. Cao Cao arrived in the hall, and Cai Yan was serving tea and water. Cao Cao suddenly saw an inscription hanging on the wall.
I asked Cai Yan about the picture.
Reply: "This is the monument of Cao E. Before the time of Emperor He, there was a witchcraft man named Cao Zhen. On May 5, he got drunk and danced on the boat. He accidentally fell into the river and died. At that time, his daughter had only
Fourteen years old, she cried around the river for seven days and nights, and then jumped into the river. Five days later, she floated out of the river with her father's body on her back and was buried by the river. This incident spread widely. At that time, Shangyu Ling
Du Shang expressed his remarks to the court as a filial daughter.
Let HD Chun engrave a stele to record this incident. At that time, HD Chun was only in his thirties and did not stop at all. He completed this work in one go and completed it in one stroke. Many people thought it was very strange at that time, my father Cai
After hearing this, Yong also went to watch it. It was already very late at that time. Then he touched the inscription in his hand in a dark place to read it. He picked up a pen and wrote eight big characters behind his back. After the descendants got this stone, they put these eight
The words were engraved."
Cao Cao read the eight words, which were yellow silk young woman and grandson jing. After reading it, he was a little confused, so he asked, "Do you know what this means?"
He replied: "It was the last pen of my ancestors, I really don't know what it means?"
Cao Cao looked back at the counselors around him and asked, "Does anyone know what this means?"
Everyone couldn't help but, after a while, one of them walked out of it and said, "I already know what it means."
Cao Cao looked at it and said that the man was Yang Xiu, the chief clerk. Cao Cao said, "Don't say it for now, let me think about it." So he said goodbye to Cai Yan, took everyone out of the village, and boarded the horse and walked three miles. Suddenly,
Wake up and said to Yang Xiudao: "You try to tell me."
Yang Xiudao: "Actually, it's a hidden word. Yellow silk is a colored silk, and the word "jue" is added to the color. Young woman, there is a word "shao" next to the woman, which is the word "second". The grandson is a woman's son and a son next to the woman
, it is a good word, in short, it is four words that are wonderful and easy to say."
Cao Cao laughed and said, "That's exactly how it is!" So everyone envied Yang Xiu's talent and agile thinking.
Soon the army arrived in Nanzheng. Cao Hong welcomed and told Zhang He about Zhang He. Cao Cao knew that he was complaining, so he said, "It's not Zhang He's crime. Winning and defeat are common things for military affairs."
Cao Hong continued: "Now Liu Bei sent Huang Zhong to attack Dingjun Mountain. Xiahou Yuan knew that the king had arrived and had been holding on and not going to fight."
Cao Cao said: "If we don't go to war, it means we are very weak." So he sent someone to Dingjun Mountain to inform Xiahou Yuan to advance.
Liu Ye advised: "Xiahou Yuan is a man who is too tough and may have fallen into a trap."
So Cao Cao wrote a letter himself and sent it to Xiahou Yuan's camp. After the envoy arrived, he handed the letter to Xiahou Yuan. The content was: As the general of the head coach, you should pay attention to the combination of hardness and softness, and you should not rely on courage. If you are brave, you should be brave.
, It is the power of one person to fight against the enemy. Now I am stationing my army in Nanzheng to see your talents and not insult your name.
Xiahou Yuan was very happy after reading it, and asked the envoy to go back and report it. He discussed with Zhang He and said, "Now the king has arrived in Nanzheng and is preparing to attack Liu Bei. You and I have been guarding this place for a long time. How can we build achievements? I will come to the future.
When you go to battle, you must capture Huang Zhong alive."
Zhang He said: "Huang Zhong is brave and scheming, and he has Fa Zheng to help him. You can't underestimate the enemy. The mountain road here is steep, so you can only stick to it."
Xiahou Yuan said: "If someone else makes a contribution, what will I have to see the King of Wei? Just guard the place and I will go out to fight." So he ordered: "Who dares to go out to lure the enemy."
Xiahou Shang said: "Let me go!"
Xiahou Yuan said: "If you go out to fight and fight against Huang Zhong, you can only lose, not win. I naturally have a plan behind me, so you can follow the action."
So Xiahou Shang received the order and took three thousand soldiers and horses away from Dingjun Mountain and headed towards the Dazhai.
Huang Zhong and Fa Zheng stationed their troops at the gate of Dingjun Mountain and challenged them many times, but Xiahou Yuan just didn't come out and was preparing to attack. He was afraid of danger on the mountain road, so he was difficult to predict the situation of the enemy and could only hold his troops.
That day, Cao's army came down the mountain to fight. Huang Zhong welcomed him with his troops. The general Chen Shi said, "General, don't go in person, I'll do it."
Huang Zhong was very happy and asked Chen Shi to take a thousand soldiers to the mountain pass to set up a formation. Xiahou Shang's soldiers arrived. In less than a few rounds, he pretended to fail to leave. Chen Shi arrived halfway and was suddenly beaten on the mountains on both sides.
The wooden cannon stone was hit and could not move forward. When he was about to return, Xiahou Yuan came out with his troops on the back. Chen Shi could not resist and was captured alive in the camp. Some of the failed soldiers went back to report to Huang Zhong, saying that Chen Shi was captured.
Huang Zhong and Fa Zheng discussed, and Fa Zheng said: "Xiahou Yuan is very impatient and feels brave and have very few strategies. You can persuade soldiers to pull out the camp and move forward step by step, lure Xiahou Yuan to fight and capture him. This is the way to turn the enemy on the front line.
.”
Huang Zhong adopted this strategy and rewarded all the things to the three armies. He was cheering all over the world and prepared to fight to the death.
Huang Zhong then set up the village and walked forward step by step. He stayed in each camp for a few days, and only needed to move forward. After Xiahou Yuan knew about it, he prepared to go out again.
