Chapter 1108 The Inflated Xu You(1/2)
Xiahou Dun was blind and one of his ears fell off. With the blessing of the skill "Complete Body" he was as high as 110.
Gan Ning did not have the blessing of the skill "Captain" at this time, and his combat effectiveness was a little inferior to Xiahou Dun.
After the two fought for less than ten rounds, Gan Ning felt a little overwhelmed.
This blind man from Wei State was too good to fight. He went straight to his own key points. Gan Ning was almost stabbed by Xiahou Dun several times.
Xiahou Dun also realized that his strength was above Gan Ning, and couldn't help laughing:
"What kind of Gan Xingba who was robbed by the Hundred Cavalry Camp is still not able to defeat my Xiahou Dun!
I am the invincible general in the world!”
Pan Zhang had a bad temper and was furious when he heard Xiahou Dun bragging in a despicable manner.
He waved his sword and slashed straight at Xiahou Dun, shouting:
"Don't be too arrogant, look at the knife!"
Xiahou Dun was not afraid at all, pushed away Pan Zhang's weapon with his gun and said loudly:
"Not to mention two Chu generals, even if they are thousands of troops, they will be nothing in the eyes of Xiahou Dun!"
Xiahou Dun's words were not entirely bragging. With his strength, he was indeed under little pressure to fight against Gan Ning and Pan Zhang at the same time.
The two of them fought against Xiahou Dun and still couldn't win.
General Jiang Qin was afraid that Pan Zhang and Gan Ning would have any mistakes, so he also raised his gun to join the battle group, and the three of them besieged Xiahou Dun.
The three generals alone, with Xiahou Dun's force of 110 points, the pressure is still very high.
"ah!
I am Xiahou Dun, a famous general of Wei State!
Who in the world can stop me?!"
Xiahou Dun roared and fought hard with the three generals, but in a short time it was hard to tell.
Cao Ren and Cao Xiu took the opportunity to direct the soldiers to burn grain.
In the chaos, Deng Zhi, Cai Rong, Huang She and other generals also led the Chu army to kill.
The war loss ratio of the Wei army began to increase.
Seeing that the food in the camp was almost burned, Cao Ren shouted decisively to Xiahou Dun:
“Yuan Rang!
Don't get entangled with them!
The food and grass have been burned out, retreat!”
"good!"
Xiahou Dun responded loudly, swept the spear in his hand, forcing Gan Ning and three other generals back half a step back.
Xiahou Dun took the opportunity to pull back and laughed:
"Rats, your food has been burned up by the old man!
If you are lucky enough to die, the uncle will come and take your head again!
Ha ha ha ha…"
Xiahou Dun laughed wildly and led his army to rush out with Cao Ren.
Gan Ning was furious and ordered to his soldiers:
"Around me and kill the enemy generals!
You can't let these thieves who set fire escape!"
The more angry Gan Ning was, the happier Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren were.
The Chu and Wei armies fought for more than half an hour before the Wei army broke through under Cao Ren's leadership.
The Wei army lost nearly 5,000 soldiers in this battle, but compared with the results they achieved, all this is worth it.
At this time, Yuan Shu was not asleep. He was following Xi Zhicai and Pang Tong and the two military advisors, who were enjoying the firelights in the distance.
Yuan Shu said to the two with a smile:
"The fire burned for an hour, and I guess the fake food and grass in the village had almost been burned.
Even if Cao Thief is treacherous, he will believe it."
Xi Zhicai shook his fan and replied:
"Tomorrow, the king will send troops to attack Xuchang and spread news about our army's shortage of food in the city.
There is no need to worry about the Wei army not taking the bait.”
After Cao Ren returned to the city, he reported to Cao Cao the process of burning the Chu army's granary.
This good news made all the civil and military officials of the Wei army cheer up and saw hope of defeating the Chu army.
Cao Cao was suspicious by nature and repeatedly confirmed to Cao Ren:
"Zixiao, have you confirmed that what was burned was indeed the food of the Chu army, not forged by the Chu army?"
Before Cao Ren could answer, Xiahou Dun couldn't wait to say to Cao Cao:
"The king has no doubt.
All the food and grass of the Chu army were burned down, and Namo General saw it with his own eyes!”
Cao Cao glanced at Xiahou Dun and did not scold him for his hard fighting against the Chu army.
What you saw with your own eyes?
It's simply nonsense...
Cao Cao discovered that since Xiahou Dun was blind, he became more and more sensitive to his eyes.
Maybe the more you lack, the more you want to prove what you have, it is pitiful to think about it carefully.
Cao Ren bowed to Cao Cao seriously:
"I sent soldiers to investigate before burning the grain, and the granary was indeed full of food.
Moreover, judging from the strictness of the Chu army's defense, it can also prove that the food and grass in the camp are extremely important to them."
Cao Cao felt relieved and a feeling of joy surged into his heart.
It is not easy to burn the food and supplies of the 300,000 troops of the Great Chu!
After fighting with Yuan Shu for so many years, this is the first time Cao Cao has taken advantage of it.
Could this be a sign that the Great Wei Dynasty is in a state of great prosperity? I, Cao Mengde, are running in time?
Cao Cao smiled at the ministers with a loud voice:
"This time the Chu army's food and grass are completely destroyed, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will retreat.
However, with Yuan Shu's treacherous behavior, he would definitely attack Xuchang before retreating, which puts pressure on the orphans.
I dare not send troops to pursue me.
As long as you guard the city in the next few days, I will have my own way to defeat Chu.
When I am defeating the Chu army, you will all be rewarded!"
"Thank you, the king!"
All the ministers thanked Cao Cao, but at this time Xu You walked out of the sequence of advisers in awe, pointed at Cao Cao and laughed:
"Ah Man, if I weren't me, how could you win this great victory?"
Cao Cao was a little displeased when Xu You was so arrogant.
However, the plan for this battle to burn down the Chu army's food and grass was indeed entirely due to Xu You's plan.
Cao Cao had no choice but to squeeze out a smile and comfort Xu You with kind words:
"Ziyuan said so much.
Here comes the people, I will reward Ziyuan a mansion, ten kilograms of gold and hundreds of pieces of silk!”
Xu You frowned when he heard this and curled his lips with disgust.
When he was under Yuan Shao, he tried his best to embezzle and accept bribes, and his family's wealth was comparable to that of the country.
How can you respect these stinky things that Cao Cao rewarded?
Xu You took two steps forward and said to Cao Cao with a smile:
"A Man has promised someone before that if my plan can be successful, he will be the first adviser under your command.
I wonder if this statement is counted?"
Cao Cao's face looked a little bad, but he nodded to Xu You:
"I will keep my word naturally.
