Ten miles southwest of Wancheng is Bowang Slope.
On the hill, Cao Cao stood on his horse, coldly looking down at the road.
The war flag danced in the air, and a cloud of dust swept up. An army was vaguely approaching.
The scout rushed forward and shouted,"Sikong, the enemy general Cai Mao is leading a large army. They are traveling light and fast. They have entered Bowang Slope!"”
Cao Cao laughed.
"Sikong's predictions are godly. When Cai Mao learned that the Cai family's property had been confiscated, he was indeed reckless and fell for Sikong's brilliant plan!”
Xi Zhicai cupped his hands behind him, clicking his tongue in admiration.
"Xi Zhi, you're wrong. I wasn't the one who came up with this plan. It was someone else."”
"Someone else?"
Xi Zhicai was startled at first, but he soon realized and asked curiously,""Sikong went to Ye County to see Su Liheng a few days ago.”
"That's right."
Cao Cao nodded slightly and smiled." However, how could he take the initiative to offer a plan? It was a brilliant plan that I spent some effort to swindle from him."”
Xi Zhicai was enlightened and could not help but sigh,"As expected, it's Su Yi's plan again. He has seen through the Cai family's weakness and Cai Mao's thoughts so thoroughly. It's really unbelievable.”
"If you don't have outstanding abilities, how can you be my son-in-law?”
A trace of pride appeared on Cao Cao's face.
As they spoke, half of the Jing State army had already passed by the slope. As the terrain gradually narrowed, the marching became slower and more crowded.
This Bowang Slope was the trap that Cao Cao had chosen for Cai Mao.
Cao Cao's smile turned into killing intent as he raised his horsewhip,""Light the horn for me!"
The order was passed down, and a pillar of smoke was immediately ignited, rushing into the nine heavens.
The ambush on the two flanks received the signal and immediately ignited the hundreds of rattan balls filled with flammable materials.
The blazing flames lit up the entire mountain.
"Hu!"
"Hu!"
"Hu!"
In the next moment, hundreds of fireballs were pushed down the hill and crashed into the Jing state army that was caught off guard.
" Ambush! There's an ambush on the hill!"
"It's the Cao Army!"
"Not good, Fireball is coming down!"
The Jing state army finally woke up and cried out in terror.
It was too late.
The road was narrow and the team was crowded. In this rush, they could not dodge in time.
In the next moment, the fireball rolled towards the Jing state army.
Hundreds of Jing State soldiers were knocked to the ground by the fireballs. They were either killed on the spot or ignited.
A wail resounded through the world.
On the main road that stretched for several miles, nearly forty thousand Jing state soldiers covered their heads and fell into chaos.
On the top of the slope.
The killing intent in Cao Cao's eyes increased. He pulled out his sword and pointed it at him,""Everyone, attack! Kill all the enemies!"
War drums sounded.
Tens of thousands of Cao troops appeared.
Yue Jin, Cao Hong, Li Dian and other generals led their troops and horses, like a torrent of water, rushing down.
In the army.
Cai Mao's face was ashen as he looked around, his eyes filled with terror and shock.
"Cao Cao actually set up an ambush here?"
"Could it be that I fell into Cao Cao's trap?”
"Damn it, this plan is so vicious. Who is it that sacrificed themselves for Cao Aman?”
Cai Mao gritted his teeth, his mind in chaos.
Just as he was at a loss, the Cao army had already charged down from both flanks.
The Jing State army had lost their geographical advantage and their morale was in disarray. How could they be Cao Cao's opponent? In the blink of an eye, they were killed and scattered.
"Brother, we've fallen into Cao Cao's trap. Let's quickly retreat to Xinye!”
Cai He ran over and shouted in a trembling voice.
Cai Mao gritted his teeth and said," My lord has given me 40,000 troops. How can I face my lord when I'm defeated like this?!"”
"If the army is gone, so be it. The Cai Clan is still the number one clan in the Jing State!”
"Elder brother is the head of the Cai family. If you die here, how can the Cai family bear it!”
Cai He urged.
" Retreat!" Cai Mao suddenly came to his senses and shouted," Retreat! All troops, retreat to the south!"”
Before he finished his words, he had already turned his horse and fled south.
Cai He led his personal guards to cover him.
The sound of killing reverberated in the sky above Bowang Slope. The entire road was dyed in blood.
On the hill.
Xi Zhicai looked at the miserable state of the enemy and sighed,""Su Liheng's plan caused Liu Biao to lose 40,000 troops in a snap of his fingers. His vitality was greatly damaged. From now on, Wan City will be safe.”
Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled. He was thinking about how to marry his daughter Cao Jie into the Su family after returning to Xu City.
When the setting sun set in the west, the sound of killing was silent.
The fire gradually extinguished, but more than 20,000 Jing State soldiers died on Bowang Slope. Those who surrendered were also injured.
Cao Cao won a complete victory and withdrew his troops back to Wancheng.
Late at night.
Cao Cao sat on the throne with a cold expression.
Cai He was dragged into the hall and pressed down at Cao Cao's feet.
He had covered the rear for Cai Mao, but unfortunately, he had not been able to escape and was captured alive by Le Jin.
Cao Cao looked down at him and said sternly,"Cai He, you traitor, do you know your sins?"”
"Sikong Cao, my brother Cai Mao is an old friend of Sikong. Please give me some face, Sikong…" Cai He pretended to be calm and said loudly.
"Bastard!"
Cao Cao cut him off and said angrily," Liu Biao has rebelled and disrespected the Emperor. I have been ordered to punish him. You Cai brothers dare to help Liu Biao resist the Imperial Court. You deserve to die. How dare you try to make friends with me!"”
Cai He trembled in fear, not knowing what to do for a moment.
"Men, drag this thief away and behead him for everyone to see!”
Cao Cao waved his hand and coldly gave the order to kill.
Cai He turned pale with fright and hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy.
The Tiger Guards rushed forward and dragged Cai He down.
On the same day, Cai He's head was hung at the south gate of Wan City to show Liu Biao.
…
Xiangyang City, within the state capital.
Liu Biao stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the map.
"De Gui's army has already passed Xinye. If we advance step by step, we should be able to reach the south of Wan City in seven days.”
"He is also a person who has been through many battles. I believe that as long as he obeys my lord's orders and does not move, Cao Cao will definitely be helpless.”
Kuai Yue saw the worry in Liu Biao's heart and comforted him.
The haze on Liu Biao's face dissipated, but he said,""Yidu, you're wrong. This old man is naturally at ease with De Gui. This old man is just wondering what kind of extraordinary person is planning for Cao Cao.”
"Perhaps there is no such person as Jia Wenhe said. Cao Cao was only able to destroy Zhang Xiu by luck.”
Kuai Yue said disapprovingly.
"What you said makes sense."
"This old master actually doesn't believe that there is such a scheming person in this world. Even if Zhang Liang reincarnates, he would still be nothing more than this.”
Liu Biao raised his wine glass with a smile and brought it to his mouth.
As soon as he finished speaking.
The guard rushed in and shouted," Reporting to my lord, there is an urgent report from the north. General Cai's light army has rushed north and was ambushed by Cao Cao at Bowang Slope. The army was almost completely annihilated. General Cai He was also killed by Cao Cao!”
Liu Biao's body shook, and the wine cup in his hand fell off.
