Chapter 37 Stealing the Camp(1/2)
Rumble!
In the thick clouds, silver snakes flashed.
Thunder roared and heavy rain poured.
This early summer thunderstorm finally arrived after the war ended.
The rain poured down like a river of heaven, eroding the blood on the battlefield.
Cao Cao retreated!
Because he didn't know what trump card Ding Chen was holding, or he didn't know how much Dong Zhuo valued Ding Chen.
Therefore, he realized that the situation was not good, so he immediately withdrew his troops and retreated twenty miles to set up camp.
Ding Chen did not pursue him because he knew Cao Cao.
If he changes someone, he will chase and fight hard, which will completely lose his fighting spirit.
But Cao Cao didn't. He would become more and more courageous as he setbacks, and would never give up easily. From the dialogue in front of the formation, Ding Chen also heard Cao Cao's helplessness and knew that Cao Cao had no way out. Therefore, he knew that even if he fought fiercely, Cao Cao would still make a comeback and would never give up halfway. Thinking about the beginning, when he followed Cao Cao to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army, it was not smooth at the beginning.
Even at the beginning, the Yellow Turban Army was terrifying and arrogant, and the official army almost lost consecutive battles.
But every time Cao Cao failed, he would never be depressed.
He would clean up the defeated generals, boost morale, rectify his troops, and fight with the Yellow Turban Army again.
Ding Chen remembered those days very clearly that Cao Cao would smile confidently no matter what circumstances it was.
In the end, Cao Cao defeated the Yellow Turban Army and killed Zhang Bao.

"Sir, this bluff is really amazing."
After returning to Huchengting Camp, Ding Chen couldn't help but praise Jia Xu.
However, he was also a little scared and said, "But in this weather, sir is not afraid of heavy rain coming suddenly. When the smoke and dust disappear, it will be dangerous."
It turned out that when Ding Chen and Cao Cao were confronting each other, Jia Xu ordered Yang Aruo to lead two hundred Xindings to ride horses ten miles away. Each horse was tied with branches, and soldiers wore golden drums in their hands. When the horses ran, smoke and dust would rise up. At the same time, soldiers beat the golden drums, creating a false situation where thousands of troops came.
Jia Xu said: "That's why I let you fight quickly and not get entangled with Cao Cao.
I see that there will be heavy rain this afternoon... If you have been entangled with Cao Cao for too long, we will be in danger. You must know that in this kind of weather, Cao Cao would never think that we would use this trick and bluff. It is precisely because he relaxed his vigilance that he was deceived by you and me. The same strategy would be difficult to shock him if he had other times.
If you can win this battle, Ziyang will occupy the right time and place.
However, I can even conclude that it can be hidden from Cao Cao for a while, but for a lifetime.
Maybe he has reacted now, and it is even very likely that he will make a countermeasure.
And in the next duel, he must have already understood your background. At that time, it is very difficult to use a trick, so he can only face it head-on.
So, what I want to tell you is, what are you going to deal with next?"
Ding Chen hung up his clothes and armor and sat down on the bed.
He began to be glad that he had asked Jia Xu for him before going to war.
If Jia Xu had not been there to relieve his emotions, give him advice, and make up for his shortcomings, I would have been afraid that he would not be able to survive now.
Now, he is planning ahead.
When everyone was happy that they had won today, he thought of the future situation.
Ding Chen handed a bowl of honey to Jia Xu, and then Kongxu Novel said: "If it weren't for the reminder of Mr., I wouldn't have thought of this at all."
"Hucheng Pavilion is not a strong city, and cannot be defended to the death."
Jia Xu took the honey sip, took a sip, and then continued: "You have seen the terrain here. With the soldiers and horses in your hands now, it is impossible to resist Cao Cao's military attack. Although he was defeated today, his vitality was not lost and his strength was still there. Moreover, from the process of today's confrontation, it can be seen that although his troops are not as good as soldiers, there are many people under his command.
The strong man who fights you today is afraid that he will be in the same position as you.
If Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan join forces, you will not have much chance of winning.
Even the guy who rushed up and only fought with you for one round..."
"Cao Hong, his name is Cao Hong, and he is Cao Cao's clan brother."
"Yes, Cao Hong!"
Jia Xu said: "It's not an ordinary person either.
When Hu Cheer rushed to the front, although he killed the commander of the rear army, the two people who arrived later quickly stabilized their positions and drove Hu Cheer out. If Cao Cao hadn't been worried at that time, I was afraid Hu Cheer would have life worries."
Ding Chen lowered his head.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to face such a fact.
"Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan both have the courage to be unstoppable to thousands of men.
Cao Hong is rarely called "Sanlang for the Desperate Sabre". The bravery of those who fought with me before him may not be defeated by Marquis Wen. It was his carelessness today, otherwise it would be difficult for me to succeed. In addition, one of the people who went to support the latter army was Cao Ren, who was also Cao Cao's clan brother. Back then, I was not afraid of Brother Xiahou, nor was I afraid of the Desperate Sabre, all of them were this person.

He is calm and quite wise.
His martial arts skills are slightly better than Cao Zilian, and he is tough and difficult to deal with.
As for the other person, although I was a defeated general under my command, it was also because of my sneak attack. From him to the rear army, he quickly stabilized his position and forced Hu Cheer to retreat to see him, which was not inferior to Cao Zixiao."
Speaking of this, Ding Chen suddenly sighed to the sky.
"Damn Cao Aman, why are there so many capable people helping him?"
Jia Xu, smiled!
He was very happy that Ding Chen did not lose his calmness because of the victory.
His ability to analyze this means that he is thinking about how to deal with it... Of course, can he think of it? This is not important!
Well, in Jia Xu's opinion, this really doesn't matter.
If Ding Chen can deal with everything, what's the point of asking him Jia Xu?
Besides, Ding Chen is still young and is leading the army for the first time. It is enough to have such performance. Others can be slowly tempered and cultivated.
Jia Xu said: "Ziyang, I know that it is impossible to do it, but it is not done by a general.
Since we know that we cannot fight head-on, we have to think of other ways... Since Hucheng Pavilion cannot be defended, we simply don't defend it. We have notified Hulao Pass and Xingyang. Even if Cao Cao occupy Hucheng Pavilion next, the effect of its surprise weapon no longer exists. I believe that at this time, whether it is Wen Hou or Hua Governor, there will be solutions to deal with it.
So, what we need to consider is how to get out of here.”
"leave?"
Ding Chen raised his head and looked at Jia Xu in surprise.
Jia Xu got up and paced back and forth in the small tent.
As he walked, he twisted his beard with his hands, showing a contemplative expression.
After a while, he stopped, looked at Ding Chen with a smile and said, "Ziyang, I have a plan to allow you and me to evacuate the glory."
Ding Chen immediately raised his spirits, "Sir, I hope to hear the details!"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It was pouring heavily, and the rain was pouring down.
However, it seemed quite quiet in Cao's army camp.
Cao Cao sat in the big tent without any decadence after the defeat during the day. Instead, he laughed from time to time, which attracted everyone's attention.
"Master, why do you laugh?"
Cao Hong looked at Cao Cao in confusion, showing a look of confusion.
During the daytime battle, Wei Zi, who was the Sima of the Army and commanded the rear army, died in the chaos.
Cao Hong knew very well that Cao Cao defected to Zhang Miao this time and was valued by Zhang Miao, thanks to the 5,000 soldiers recruited by Wei Zi for him. Logically speaking, when Wei Zi died, Cao Cao should be sad, why did he sit there and smile foolishly?
Of course, Cao Cao was indeed sad.
When he saw Weiz's body, he burst into tears.
However...
Cao Cao smiled and twisted his beard and said, "I'm laughing, Ziyang actually learned to use a plan."
"oh?"
"You have to know that Ziyang is lazy and has no brains.
When he was with me in the past, every time he asked him to think about things, he would push back and stop him, as if he wanted to kill him. But today, he was able to use tricks and hide it from me! Hehe, but this time he also exposed his background."
"Secret?"
Cao Cao nodded with a smile, stood up and said, "Ziyang must not be as important as Dong's thief, and there will not be too many soldiers and horses in his hands.
In today's battle, I see that Ziyang's hands have only a thousand soldiers. It is unexpected that I can win today. I will raise troops and fight again tomorrow, and I will definitely get back today's game. Please don't be depressed by today's defeat. In fact, it is already a great achievement to see Ziyang's plan. I don't believe that when he fights tomorrow, can he still use a plan to hide me?"
Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Dian Wei had already stood up.
His appearance was very funny at this time. During the daytime battle, Ding Chen cut his hair into pieces, so that his head was bare. After returning, Dian Wei was furious and shaved his hair. At this moment, he couldn't help laughing with a big bald head.
To be continued...
