第十八回:賈文和料敵決勝,夏侯惇拔失啖睛

1.卻說賈詡料知曹操之意,便欲將計就計而行,乃謂張繡曰:「某在城上,見曹操遶城而觀者三日。他見城東南角磚土之色,新舊不等,鹿角多半毀壞,意將從此處攻進;卻虛去西北上積草,詐為聲勢,欲哄我撤兵守西北,彼乘夜黑,必爬東南角而進也。」繡曰:「然則奈何?」詡曰:「此易事耳。來日可令精壯之兵,飽食輕裝,盡藏於東南房屋內,卻教百姓假扮軍士,虛守西北,夜間任他在東南角上爬城。俟其爬進城時,一聲砲響,伏兵齊起,操可擒矣。」

2.繡喜從其計。早有探馬報曹操,說張繡盡撤兵在西北角上,吶喊守城,東南卻甚空虛。操曰:「中吾計矣!」遂命軍中密備鍬钁,爬城器具,日間只引軍攻西北角;至二更時分,卻領精兵於東南角上爬入濠去,砍開鹿角。城中全無動靜,眾軍一齊擁入。只聽得一聲砲響,伏兵四起。曹軍急退,背後張繡親驅勇壯殺來。曹軍大敗,退出城外,奔走數十里。張繡直殺至天明方收軍入城。曹操計點敗軍,已折五萬餘人,失去輜重無數。呂虔、于禁俱各被傷。

 Jia Xu, as he had guessed the enemy's intention, had also devised a countermove. So he went to his chief and said, "I saw Cao Cao very carefully reconnoitering round about the city. He certainly noticed that the southeast corner of the wall had been lately restored with mud bricks of a different kind, and that the fencing barrier is badly out of repair. He will try to effect an entrance there. Wherefore he is making a feint attack at the opposite point. He is piling up straw and making ostentatious preparations whereby to cajole us into withdrawing from the real point of attack to defend the northwest. His troops will scale the walls in the darkness and try to enter at the southeast."

 "Supposing your surmise correct, what do you advise?" asked Zhang Xiu.

 "The countermove is plain. You issue an order for our best and bravest soldiers to fill their bellies, to take only the lightest outfit and conceal themselves in the houses near the southeast corner. Then disguise the townspeople as soldiers and send them to pretend to defend the northwest. Tonight we will let the enemy climb up the walls and enter the city and, once they are fairly within, give the signal and the concealed soldiers will rush out upon them. We may even capture Cao Cao himself."

 The stratagem was decided upon.

 Soon the scouts told Cao Cao: "The defenders of the city have moved to the northwest where noisy preparations for defense are going on. The opposite corner is left undefended."

 "They have fallen into my trap!" said Cao Cao gleefully.

 He ordered his troops to prepare shovels and hooks and all the gear needed for scaling walls, and all day they kept up the attack on the northwest angle.

 But at the second watch they dispatched the veterans to the opposite corner, where they climbed the wall, broke up the fencing barrier, and got into the city apparently without disturbing any of the guards. There was no sign of life anywhere as they entered. But just as they were leaving the wall, suddenly a bomb exploded and they found themselves in an ambush. They turned to retire, but Zhang Xiu immediately fell on the rear and began a slaughter. Cao Cao's troops were totally defeated and fled out of the gate into the country. Zhang Xiu kept up the pursuit till daybreak, when he retired into the city again.

 Cao Cao then rallied his army and mustered his soldiers. He had lost fifty thousand and much baggage, while two of his generals, Lu Qian and Yu Jin were wounded.
