🎭 Story 21: Cao Cao's Clever Battle Against Jia Xu

1. Cao Cao immediately wrote to the Emperor (Emperor Xian of Han) reporting that the local warlord Zhang Xiu was rebelling and that troops should be sent to suppress him. Knowing that Cao Cao was leading troops to attack, Zhang Xiu hurriedly sent a letter to Liu Biao, requesting him to provide backup.

 

2. ...Cao Cao was furious and ordered Xu Chu to fight. Zhang Xiu ordered Zhang Xian to engage him. In just three rounds, Xu Chu killed Zhang Xian, and Zhang Xiu's army suffered a crushing defeat. Cao Cao led his army to the walls of Nanyang. Zhang Xiu entered the city and refused to leave.

 

3. Cao Cao besieged the city. Seeing that the city's moat was wide and deep, making it difficult to approach the city quickly, he ordered his soldiers to transport soil to fill the moat; he also used burlap sacks filled with firewood and straw, stacking them along the city walls as makeshift ladders; and he erected siege ladders to observe the city.

 

4. Cao Cao personally rode around the city to assess the situation. Three days later, Cao Cao ordered his soldiers to pile up firewood at the west corner of the city gate and gather his generals, preparing to storm the high city walls.

 

5. Jia Xu, the strategist in the city, seeing this, said to Zhang Xiu, "I already know Cao Cao's plan; now we can play along and follow his lead." Indeed: There's always someone stronger, and even those who use deception will encounter someone who recognizes it.

 

6. Jia Xu, having anticipated Cao Cao's intentions, wanted to use the plan against him. He told Zhang Xiu, "From the city wall, I saw Cao Cao circle the city three times. He noticed that the bricks and earthen mounds at the southeast corner were of different colors, some old and some new, and there were deer antlers (obstacles to prevent enemy soldiers from gathering)..." Most of it is destroyed, indicating an intention to attack from here; cunningly, they are making a show of force by piling up firewood in the northwest, trying to lure me into withdrawing my troops to defend the northwest. Under the cover of darkness, when visibility is poor, they will climb in from the southeast corner to attack the city.” Zhang Xiu asked, “I understand, what should we do now?”

 

7. Jia Xu replied, “This is simple. In the next few days, we can order the strong soldiers to eat their fill, wear light uniforms, and hide them all in the houses in the southeast corner. Meanwhile, we can have ordinary civilians disguise themselves as soldiers, pretending to defend the northwest corner, allowing the enemy to climb the city walls in the southeast corner at night. When they climb in, a cannon shot will be fired, allowing the ambushing soldiers to attack, and Cao Cao can be captured alive.”

 

8. Zhang Xiu happily followed Jia Xu's plan and acted accordingly. Scouts had already reported to Cao Cao that Zhang Xiu had completely withdrawn his troops to defend the northwest corner, loudly proclaiming his intention to defend the city, while the southeast was extremely vulnerable. Cao Cao said, "The enemy has fallen for my trap!" He then secretly ordered his army to prepare shovels and hoes (tools for digging and climbing the city walls), and climbing equipment. During the day, he led his army to attack only the northwest corner; at midnight, he led elite troops to climb the southeast corner of the city wall, cross the river, and cut down the deer antlers (obstacles to prevent enemy soldiers from gathering).

 

9. At this time, there was no movement in the city, and all the soldiers rushed into the city. Suddenly, a cannon fired, and Zhang Xiu's ambushing soldiers sprang up. Cao Cao's army retreated hastily, and Zhang Xiu personally led his brave soldiers to attack from behind. Cao Cao's army was utterly defeated, retreating outside the city and fleeing for dozens of miles.

 

10. Zhang Xiu pursued them until dawn before withdrawing his army into the city. Cao Cao calculated and counted his defeated soldiers; he had lost over 50,000 men, and the number of lost supplies and provisions was too great to count. Generals Lu Qian and Yu Jin were both wounded.

🦁 Story 23: Cao Cao Cuts His Hair

Cao Cao left Xun Yu in Xuchang to guard the capital, while he himself mobilized troops and led a large army on the march. As the army advanced, they saw that the wheat along the way was ripe. However, the people, fearing being caught in the crossfire due to the approaching soldiers, had fled to other areas and dared not harvest the wheat. 

Cao Cao sent messengers to inform the villagers and elders of the news, and instructed the officials guarding the borders to explain to the people: "I, Cao Cao, have been ordered by the Emperor to send troops to punish the rebels and help the people eliminate the harmful warlords*1. Today, when the wheat is ripe, I have no choice but to raise an army. All generals and colonels, large and small, whoever crosses the wheat fields and tramples the wheat will be beheaded. Military law is very strict. You people, do not be frightened, nor doubt my resolve." Upon hearing this, the people were overjoyed and praised the army, bowing towards the dust-covered road to express their gratitude for the army's benevolence*2. When the official army passed through the wheat fields, they dismounted and passed the wheat by hand, not daring to trample it.

 

Cao Cao was riding along when suddenly a dove in the wheat field was startled and flew away. Cao Cao's horse, startled by the sudden flight, rushed into the wheat field, trampling a large section of wheat. Cao Cao immediately summoned his chief clerk and requested that the legal and scribe officials draft a decree to punish him for trampling the wheat. The clerk said, "How can the Prime Minister punish someone?" Cao Cao replied, "I created the laws myself, and I broke them. If I am not punished, how can the people believe in me?" He then drew his sword, intending to commit suicide. The others quickly stopped him. Guo Jia said, "In the ancient Spring and Autumn period, the law did not apply to those of high status. How can the Prime Minister, commanding such a large army, commit suicide?" Cao Cao pondered for a long time, then said, "Since the ancient Spring and Autumn period had such a rule—that the law does not apply to those of high status—I will spare your life." He then used his sword to cut off his own hair*3, threw it on the ground, and said, "My hair will temporarily replace my head." He had the hair passed around to the army to see, saying, "The Prime Minister trampled the wheat; he should have been beheaded to maintain order, but now I have cut off my hair in his place." The army was terrified and obeyed orders without question.

 

*1 [He himself was a powerful warlord, yet he had the audacity to say such things]

 

*2 [Army in chaotic times is often ruthless; at this time, if one is even slightly reasonable, disciplined, does not loot, and does not invade civilian territory, the people's acceptance will generally increase]

 

*3 [The ancients valued hair, believing: "Our bodies, hair, and skin are given to us by our parents; we dare not damage them."] In ancient times, men would wear long hair.

💥 Story 24: Cao Cao's Ambush

⛰️ Cao Cao Defeats Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao

 

A day later, Xun Yu suddenly sent a messenger to Cao Cao reporting, "Liu Biao is aiding Zhang Xiu and has stationed troops at Anzhong, blocking our way back."

 

Cao Cao replied to Xun Yu, "I only travel a few miles each day. It's not that I don't know the enemy will pursue me, but I have already planned it. If we reach Anzhong, we will definitely defeat Zhang Xiu. You have no doubt." After saying this, he urged his army to head towards the border of Anzhong County. Liu Biao's army had already occupied the strategic location, and Zhang Xiu subsequently led his troops in pursuit.

 

Strategy: Carving a Road Through the Dark Cao Cao ordered his soldiers to dig a road through the strategic location at night and secretly lay an ambush. At dawn, Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu's armies joined forces. Seeing that Cao Cao's forces were small, they assumed he had fled and rushed into the strategic location to attack. Cao Cao immediately released his ambush troops, inflicting a great defeat on Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu's armies. Cao Cao's army crossed the border of Anzhong and set up camp outside the pass. Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu each reorganized their defeated soldiers and met with each other.

 

Liu Biao said, "I never expected to fall into Cao Cao's trap!" Zhang Xiu said, "Let us think of another way to deal with him!" So the two armies regrouped at Anzhong.

 

🏹 Jia Xu's Brilliant Prediction

 

At this time, Xun Yu learned that Yuan Shao planned to attack Xuchang and immediately rode to write a letter to Cao Cao. Cao Cao received the letter and panicked, immediately deciding to withdraw his troops back to the capital.

 

A spy reported this news to Zhang Xiu, who wanted to pursue Cao Cao. Jia Xu (Zhang Xiu's strategist) said, "We cannot pursue; pursuit will surely lead to defeat." Liu Biao said, "If we don't pursue today, we will have missed an opportunity!" He strongly urged Zhang Xiu to lead more than ten thousand troops to pursue.

 

After pursuing for about ten li, they caught up with the rear of Cao Cao's army. Cao Cao's army fought valiantly, and Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao's forces suffered a crushing defeat.

 

Zhang Xiu said to Jia Xu, "I didn't listen to you, and as expected, we suffered a defeat." Jia Xu said, "Now we can reorganize our troops and pursue him again!" Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao both said, "We've just suffered a defeat, why should we pursue again?" Jia Xu said, "This time, we will surely achieve a great victory. If we fail, please cut off my head." Zhang Xiu believed him. Liu Biao was suspicious and unwilling to go with them. Zhang Xiu led a small force to pursue Cao Cao's army, and Cao Cao's army was indeed routed, with troops and supplies scattered everywhere as they fled in disarray. Just as Zhang Xiu was about to give chase, an army suddenly charged out from behind the mountains. Zhang Xiu dared not pursue any further and withdrew his troops back to Anzhong.

 

🤔 The Reason Why Defeated Soldiers Defeat Victorious Soldiers

 

Liu Biao asked Jia Xu, "When we used our elite troops to pursue the retreating Cao army, you said we would surely be defeated; later, when we used our defeated soldiers to fight the victorious Cao army, you said we would surely win. The results were exactly as you predicted. Why did the circumstances differ, yet the results both came true? I hope you can explain this clearly to me."

 

Jia Xu explained, "It's easy to understand. Although General Zhang Xiu is skilled in warfare, he is no match for Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao's army is retreating, he must have a powerful general protecting them from our pursuit; our soldiers, though full of vigor, are no match for them, so I knew we would inevitably fail.

 

As for Cao Cao's haste to retreat, it must be because something happened in Xuchang. Since he just defeated our pursuers, he will surely return quickly and unprepared; we took advantage of his unpreparedness to pursue him, which is why we were able to win." Both Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu greatly admired Jia Xu's insightful analysis. Jia Xu advised Liu Biao to return to Jingzhou, while Zhang Xiu guarded Xiangcheng, serving as a shield for each other, and the two armies dispersed.

 

⛰️ Story 25: Cao Cao Attacks Lu Bu

Cao Cao immediately ordered Cao Ren to lead 3,000 men to attack Pei City. Cao Cao himself led the main army, along with Liu Bei, to attack Lu Bu. As they advanced, nearing Xiaoguan (Xiao County), they encountered bandits from Mount Tai: Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Chang Xi, who led over 30,000 men and blocked their path. 

Cao Cao ordered Xu Chu to engage them in battle, and the four bandits rode out together. Xu Chu fought valiantly, and the four bandits could not withstand him and fled. Cao Cao pursued them relentlessly, catching up with them at Xiaoguan. At this moment, scouts quickly reported the situation to Lu Bu.

🏰 Story 26: Chen Deng and His Son's Scheme

1. The Worries and Plans of Chen Deng and His Son

 

During the Three Kingdoms period, Lu Bu seized Xuzhou from Liu Bei and occupied dozens of towns. Chen Deng, a respected local figure, and his father, Chen Gui, disapproved of Lu Bu's actions, but for the time being, they had no choice but to conceal their true thoughts.

 

At that time, Lu Bu returned to Xuzhou, intending to take Chen Deng to relieve Xiaopei, which was under attack by Cao Cao, and leave Chen Gui behind to defend Xuzhou. Before Chen Deng left, Chen Gui said to him, "Cao Cao once said he would entrust all matters in the east to you. Now that Lu Bu is about to be defeated, you should take this opportunity to find a way to deal with him." Chen Deng replied, "I will handle the external affairs myself. If Lu Bu is defeated and escapes back to Xuzhou, Father, please ask General Mi Zhu to help defend the city and prevent Lu Bu from entering. I have a way to escape." Chen Gui asked worriedly, "Lu Bu's wife and children are in the city, and he has many trusted confidants. What should we do?" Chen Deng answered, "I also have a way to deal with them."

 

2. Chen Deng cleverly tricked Lu Bu.

 

Chen Deng then went to see Lu Bu and suggested, "Xuzhou is surrounded by enemies on all sides; Cao Cao will definitely attack with all his might. We should first think of a way out. Why not move our grain and money to Xiapi? That way, if Xuzhou is besieged, Xiapi will have grain to send reinforcements. My lord, you should make plans early!"

Lu Bu agreed, saying, "Yuanlong (Chen Deng's courtesy name) makes a good point. I will move there with my wife and children." Therefore, Lu Bu ordered Song Xian and Wei Xu to protect his wife, children, and grain and money, and move to Xiapi to garrison; he himself led his army with Chen Deng to rescue Xiaoguan (a county town).

 

Halfway there, Chen Deng said, "Please let me go to the pass first to scout out the true situation of Cao Cao's army before you proceed, my lord." Lu Bu agreed.

 

3. Chen Deng's inside-outside cooperation in seizing the pass

Chen Deng arrived at Xiaoguan first and met with General Chen Gong and others. Chen Deng told them, "Lord Wen (Lu Bu's respectful title) is very displeased with your refusal to launch a preemptive attack and is preparing to punish you." Chen Gong said, "Cao Cao's army is too powerful now; it's not advisable to engage in battle lightly. Our best course of action is to hold the pass firmly and advise our lord to defend Xiaopei City." Chen Deng agreed.

 

That night, Chen Deng climbed the pass and looked out, seeing Cao Cao's army approaching. He immediately wrote three letters that very night, tied them to arrows, and shot them at Cao Cao's camp below the pass. The next day, he bid farewell to Chen Gong and rode swiftly to see Lu Bu. Chen Deng told Lu Bu, "Generals like Sun Guan at the pass want to surrender. I've left Chen Gong there to defend it. General, you can attack at dusk to rescue it and recapture the pass!" Lu Bu happily said, "If it weren't for you, this pass would be lost." He immediately sent Chen Deng swiftly to the pass first, agreeing that Chen Gong would light a fire as a signal, acting as an inside agent. Chen Deng went straight back to Chen Gong and told him, "Cao Cao's army has already taken a shortcut into the pass. I fear Xuzhou will fall. You should retreat immediately!" Chen Gong immediately led his troops to abandon the pass and flee. Chen Deng immediately set fire to the pass as a signal.

 

Lu Bu attacked under cover of darkness. Lu Bu's army and Chen Gong's fleeing army mistook each other for enemies in the darkness and began fighting amongst themselves.

 

4. Lu Bu was kept out of the city.

Cao Cao's army saw the signal fire and immediately rushed forward, launching an attack. Generals like Sun Guan also fled. Lu Bu fought until dawn before realizing it was Chen Deng's scheme. He hurriedly led Chen Gong back to Xuzhou. When they reached the city walls and called for the gates, a hail of arrows rained down from the city walls. Mi Zhu stood atop the city wall and shouted, "You seized our lord's city, and now it should be returned to him! You can no longer enter this city!" Lu Bu was furious: "Where is Chen Gui?" Mi Zhu replied, "I have already killed him!" Lu Bu turned to Chen Gong and asked, "And where is Chen Deng?" Chen Gong sighed, "General, are you still so stubborn, asking that treacherous villain?"
