Chapter 123: New Year's Eve Raid (Part 2)

ps: The main plotline officially returns, so please don't criticize me anymore. The recent lack of recommended votes has made me feel disheartened. Please give me some votes. Also, the number of subscribers is decreasing, perhaps some of you have turned to pirated versions. I just hope that everyone can understand the difficulties faced by an author. Thank you all.

pps:之前提过程昱留守许昌,前几章忘记了,把程昱写进徐州战场了,已修改,为自己犯下的错误感到万分抱歉。

At the break of dawn, the faint light of day was shattered by the sound of galloping hooves. A cavalryman dismounted and rushed to the military camp to report to the intoxicated generals, saying, "General Di has captured Kunlun Pass!"

The generals were both surprised and delighted, with an expression of disbelief on their faces: General Di was just here drinking heavily, how did he suddenly and inconspicuously vanquish the enemy and capture the stronghold?

It turned out that Di Qing hosted a banquet, and several times he sent people to persuade the officers not to leave the banquet, which was actually done to fool the spies sent by Nong Zhigao's rebellion. The purpose was to make the rebel Nong Zhigao believe that Di Qing and the generals were all at the banquet, making it impossible for them to attack Kunlun Pass on the night of the Lantern Festival, thereby relaxing their guard and developing a complacent mentality.

In this way, Di Qing seized Kunlun Pass by launching a surprise attack when the enemy least expected it. Song Renzong praised him as the "true Guan Zhang of Our Dynasty!"

What Guo Jia had in mind was to pretend to spend New Year's Eve peacefully and then launch a night raid on the Xuzhou army on that night!

听上去这种趁过节的时候夜袭的举动很容易,但操作起来难度却很大。最关键的一点便在于保密措施以及如何让敌人信以为真,认为己方大军真的会按兵不动了。

要知道战场上除了像明镜堂、风满楼这样的谍报组织,各自斥候、暗探也是数不胜数的,如果不能合理利用对方的斥候和暗探将假情报传递回去的话,这样的计策效果并不会显著。

So Guo Jia sent soldiers out under the pretext of gathering firewood, intentionally allowing spies to infiltrate, and deliberately letting those soldiers pass fake information to the spies. Of course, those soldiers are actually the Ming Jing Wei, and most of them are familiar with each other. For the few who are not familiar, they use a set of secret words when they meet, and make a series of small gestures to prove their identities, so there is absolutely no possibility of mistaken identity. Please keep all the @ matches in the reply.

为了确保郭嘉计策的万无一失,吴敦亲自上前与他交谈。至于那个奸细,不仅没有用暗语和手势自证身份,而且曹操宣布安安稳稳过除夕是昨日白天的事情,根本不是晚上。还有,曹军严禁饮酒,曹军对于违反军规的处罚可是很严重的,七禁令五十四斩可不是开玩笑的。因此,那个奸细一混入外出军士的队伍,就立刻被认出来了。

于是,之后的一切都掌握在吴敦的节奏里,吴敦利用当年当泰山贼学来的**经验,成功地忽悠了这个奸细,完美地完成了郭嘉的任务,接下来,就是曹操、郭嘉他们的事情了。

Huh? Next wave of spies? How could they have a chance to infiltrate? Cao Jun won't be going out again. As for other undercover spies trying to directly sneak into the main camp, Cao Cao intentionally transferred nearly 700 Mingjing Guards from the commanders Wang Tu, Wu Zhou, and Zhu Gai under the Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Jizhou garrisons, respectively, to hide around the Qingzhou Army's main camp.

是的,这一次调遣的,是青州军,这也是夏侯惇的请求。毕竟青州军自成立以来,还没有立下任何功劳,无论是乐进的龙骧军、李典的玄武军、曹洪的战熊军、曹仁的飞虎军、于禁的天风军都曾立下功劳。没有立下功劳的,只有太过珍贵,未曾出场的陌刀军,还有就是始终拱卫许昌的青州军了。

夏侯惇是个要强的人呢,绝不服输,而他寸功未立,曹操却封他高官厚禄,让他遭受了不少人的白眼和妒忌。难得青州军不必拱卫许都,获得了一次出征的机会,夏侯惇不可能再让青州军寸功不立!

良城,徐州治所下邳城北方的最后一道防线。一旦良城被攻破,那么下邳城的前方就是一片平原,曹军可以轻松前往下邳城,然后展开曹军的兵力围城,发挥出曹军的兵力优势。

良城守将是曹豹,他主动请缨前往良城驻守,守住这下邳城前的最后一道防线。陶谦本来觉得曹豹能力实在有所欠缺,担心曹豹去驻守良城反而会使城池陷落。但曹豹却以头抢地(用头撞地的意思),磕了二三十下,额头已经血肉模糊了,陶谦终归还是不忍心自己这昔日的徐州第一上将如此作为,最终同意让陶谦守卫良城。

陶谦在陈登的建议下召回了徐州驻防各地的兵力,将整个徐州的兵力全部集中在了下邳城,企图守住下邳城。如今的下邳城聚集起了九万人马,这还不算强行征召的青壮。曹豹一次性带走了其中的两万五千大军驻守良城。

曹豹出战前,让家人给自己备好了棺木,告知了陶谦、家人以及麾下所有士兵。

"As long as the city exists, I exist! If you want to pass through this strong city, you must first step over my dead body!"

曹豹抬棺死战之心,也感染了陶谦和麾下大军,陶谦给予了曹豹极大的自主权力,而麾下士兵也是士气大振,燃起了战意。

And all these years of hard work by Cao Bao have indeed paid off. He has successfully halted the Cao army's advance in the city for seventeen days and has managed to kill 6,000 enemy soldiers at the cost of only 2,000 of his own men. These achievements have been made possible with the assistance of various siege weapons employed by the Cao army. To be honest, Cao Bao can take pride in this victory. By resisting a hundred thousand-strong enemy force all by himself, he has dealt the Cao army its first defeat and thwarted their offensive for the first time.

“你是说,曹军真的决定安安稳稳过这个除夕?”曹豹站在城头,转过身来看着身后的那名暗探,神色中满是肃穆,有着一分名将的气质。

“是的,将军。末将混入了曹军外出拾柴的队伍,从其中的士兵口中问出的情报,定然无误!”那名之前潜入曹营的小兵答道。

Cao Bao glanced around at the other spies and asked, "What about you all?"

“末将也亲自探查,曹军炊烟从早至今未停止过,而很多部队现在已经开始饮酒了,绝不可能出兵。”

"Yeah, I am too."

。。。。。。

各暗探都是一致的回答,这也让曹豹相信了曹军的确不会出兵。
