Chapter 687: Cao Cao's expression
A man with a dark face dressed in delicate armor rode a horse in front of Yuan Chang and asked expressionlessly: "Lord, do you want to solve the person who is secretly watching?"
This man is the deputy commander of the garrison cavalry division, Li Chong, whose name is Maokai. The cavalry division is directly under the jurisdiction of Yuan Chang, although it only has a division-level number, but the level is the same as the army level. Just like the artillery regiments of later generations, they are all directly under the direct jurisdiction of the chief, and their status is extraordinary. The personnel of the cavalry division were carefully selected from the three elite cavalry corps of Bai Ma Yicong, Bao Jiajun and Bai Ma Yi, and were equipped with sophisticated weapons and armor.
And Li Chong, the deputy division commander, is also a legend in the cavalry division.
As a generation of farmers, Li Chong met a master in his early years, and he was determined to get rid of the identity of a farmer, and after three days and three nights of begging, the master finally taught him martial arts. After completing his studies, Li Chong joined the White Horse Righteous Servants under Gongsun Zan and fought against the northern aliens. However, although Li Chong has made many military exploits, in today's era, he has no background, but he has been squeezed by his superiors, and his credit has been taken away, until Gongsun Zhan was defeated and died, he was also worthy of being promoted to the level of centurion, and the superior who oppressed him at the beginning had already become a general. However, he was later killed in the battle with Yuan Chang and Yuan Shao, which was also unpleasant.
Later, when the garrison cavalry division was formed, a deputy position had to be selected, and after layers of assessment and selection, Li Chong stood out and eventually became the deputy division commander. The so-called assessment is naturally to check whether the family is innocent, otherwise they will not know if they are ambushed by the enemy's spies, and the joke will be big. And his past has also been explored. In addition, force is naturally also a factor in the selection, and Li Chong's strength has reached the level of surpassing the first-class generals and the top generals, but it is a bit amazing. Of course, this is not surprising. After all, the history of China is 5,000 years, and it is impossible for all people to be recorded in it. Some people are buried because they are buried, and some people are willing to be ordinary, anyway, the reasons are different. However, one thing cannot be denied, that is, there are many powerful characters, which have not been recorded in detail. Just like Xun Chen, his ability is comparable to Xun Yu, however, the record of him in history is only a few words, but it also cannot erase his ability.
In addition to assessing family background and force, the ability to march and deploy formations must also be assessed. And Li Chong has been in Baima for many years, and his command and combat ability is also good. As a result, Li Chong ranked first among dozens of candidates with crushing results, and no one refuted it. Of course, there is nothing to say about the level of education, there are really few people who have read books in these years, and those who have read books will not join the army. After all, it is a military position that is chosen, and no matter how high the culture is, it is useless. Moreover, high-ranking officers have to go through the experience of military academies, and these can also be supplemented, but there is not much of a problem.
"Mao Kai, I said that you should have less contact with Hong Fei. You see, how shrewd a person was at the beginning, now he has become a little pure benzene. ”
Yuan Chang shook his head and said angrily.
In this regard, Li Chong could only smile awkwardly. Yuan Chang is the lord, he can say this about Dian Wei, and he is Dian Wei's deputy, but he doesn't dare to say this about Dian Wei, otherwise, he will suffer from Dian Wei's inhumane 'guidance' again. As the boss of the garrison cavalry division, Dian Wei often fights with a group of officers under the guise of pointing, saying that he is pointing, in fact, he is addicted to himself, as a militant, not to mention ten days and half a month, even if he doesn't do it for a day, Dian Wei feels uncomfortable. And when he met a boss like Dian Wei, the officers of the garrison cavalry division could be described as painful and happy.
Pain, naturally because of being instructed by Dian Wei, Dian Wei shot mercilessly, often beat them to lie down for a day, two days, sometimes bad luck, a miss, lying for four or five days is not a thing; and the reason why I am happy, is also because of the guidance of Dian Wei, and Dian Wei such a level of masters, often those officers can grow in force, for those martial arts people, pain is not a problem, as long as the strength can be enhanced, they can endure it. Therefore, this is also the reason why Dian Wei was able to get the support of the garrison cavalry division. If he was like Zhang Fei, who only knew how to whip, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers of the garrison cavalry division would have resisted a long time ago. After all, they are not raised by their stepmothers, and the three major cavalry divisions are still there, are they still afraid that there is no place to reason.
"The subordinates are stupid, please teach the lord!"
"Your understanding really makes me anxious, and I am so angry that I will be angry with you. Bonghyo, you come and tell Maokai what the reason is. Yuan Chang said angrily, and then no longer paid attention to Li Chong, but swept his gaze to the surrounding scenery, which seemed to attract him more than Li Chong.
The corners of Guo Jia's mouth twitched, Yuan Chang was angry, purely lazy. In this regard, he could only helpless that he had such a lord, so he could only go out by himself, and said: "Mao Kai, the main task of our army is to attract the attention of the Shuntian Alliance, and we can't startle the snake. Now they think that they are in the dark, that we are in the light, but they do not know that we are in the dark, and they are in the light. If we destroy the enemy who is watching in the shadows, will we not tell them that we have discovered them, and then their actions will inevitably be more vigilant and difficult for us to detect, and if they change their disposition, it will be even more detrimental to us. So, what we have to do now is to surprise them when the time comes, when they don't exist. ”
"I see, thank you for your advice!"
Li Chong suddenly realized, looked at Yuan Chang in disdain, and didn't dare to say anything more.
Regarding the matter of the Shuntian Alliance, Yuan Chang also said something to the officials and generals who were high enough level, of course, he didn't say too much, so as not to cause unnecessary panic. Of course, the officials and generals who could learn the news of the Shuntian Alliance had also gone through layers of assessments, and besides, even if there were people ambushed by other forces, Yuan Chang was not afraid that they would know. For all forces, as long as it is not the power of the Shuntian Alliance, they must all regard the Shuntian Alliance as an enemy, after all, no one wants to be a pawn in someone else's chessboard. No matter how strong the Shuntian Alliance is, can it be that it can be the enemy of the people of the whole world? Therefore, perhaps this is also the reason why the news of the Shuntian Alliance is rarely revealed. Once the news of the Shuntian Alliance is revealed, it will not be a good thing for the Shuntian Alliance.
Some people may ask, in this case, why didn't Yuan Chang announce the matter of the Shuntian Alliance to the world?
If it were so simple, I am afraid that the Shuntian Alliance would have been destroyed a long time ago, I don't know how many times. Since the Shuntian Alliance has been able to exist for so long, there must be a way for them to deal with it. Moreover, the Shuntian Alliance is also extremely hidden, and it is not easy to dig them out, since this is the case, there is no need to waste time and energy to do this kind of thing.
"Lord, military advisor, don't worry, if the people of the Shuntian Alliance dare to come, their subordinates will definitely let them come and go. Li Chong secretly swore in his heart.
When they first heard about the existence of the Shuntian Alliance, Li Chong and the others who were told were naturally furious and clamored to destroy the Shuntian Alliance. However, after a sharp thrashing by their respective bosses, they finally recognized the reality that the Shuntian Alliance was very strong, and they couldn't understand it. However, Li Chong was still full of fighting spirit, perhaps under the influence of Dian Wei, and the senior officers of the garrison cavalry division were extremely warlike. Moreover, after Dian Wei's long-term guidance, Li Chong has reached the threshold of the top generals, and he believes that if the enemies of the Shuntian Alliance are really so strong, perhaps, the battle with them will become an opportunity for him to break through.
"Well, the scenery here is good, just set up camp in front of you, and set off tomorrow morning!" Yuan Chang suddenly stopped and said in a lazy tone.
“…”
Originally, Guo Jia felt that his personality was already quite lazy. However, since I met my own father-in-law, I found that it is really a mountain higher than a mountain, compared with Yuan Chang, Guo Jia's laziness is like a severe cold, and it can be rescued, while Yuan Chang's laziness is already terminal cancer and is hopeless.
Of course, the lord gave the order, Li Chong naturally did not refute, and immediately stopped his horse and conveyed Yuan Chang's order.
In the depths of the dense forest, several figures were lying on the ground, wearing night clothes that only showed their two eyes, and they didn't know how stupid these people were, wearing such clothes in broad daylight, could they be as stupid as others? And these people were naturally spies of the Shuntian League, personnel of the Jizhou Branch.
"Hall Master Zhu, why did they stop?" a man in black asked in a low voice to a man in black next to him.
"Yes, Hall Master Zhu, my subordinates think they are a little weird, the marching speed is so slow, it seems like they are playing in the mountains and rivers, and it doesn't seem like they are going to Chang'an at all. Another man in black also whispered.
"Idiot!"
The man in black in the middle, that is, the Zhu Hall Master in their mouth, scolded in a low voice, and then said: "The one who rebels against the heavens is the great enemy of our Shuntian Alliance, how can the people who can be regarded as the great enemies of our Shuntian Alliance be underestimated? Have you ever noticed that although they seem to be careless, they are neat and majestic in their march, and they must be a strong army. And it was personally led by Yuan Chang, the Youzhou pastor, and it must be his garrison cavalry division. Since he even brought out the garrison cavalry division, what else could he do if he didn't go to Chang'an to greet Liu Xie's puppet emperor? Also, Yuan Chang must have guessed that we would ambush them, so don't be fooled by their appearance, once we relax a little, we will let them out of our sight. Therefore, it is important that you concentrate and watch their every move carefully, and that you do not let them out of our sight. Otherwise, you know for yourselves what the punishment will be. ”
"What Hall Master Zhu taught me is that my subordinates should be dedicated to themselves and dare not slack off in the slightest!"
"Listening to Hall Master Zhu's words, I knew that Yuan Chang was so cunning, if it wasn't for Hall Master Zhu's reminder, I'm afraid we would have been confused by him. ”
"I see, Hall Master Zhu's talent subordinates can't wait, no wonder Hall Master Zhu was able to rise to the position of Hall Master at a young age. With Hall Master Zhu's ability, it would be okay for him to be transferred to the General Alliance one day, and maybe he would be able to rise to the Shadow Pavilion. ”
"Yes, yes, Master Zhu is rich and noble, please don't forget our brothers. ”
"Haha!"
Hearing the flattery of several subordinates, Hall Master Zhu also laughed out loud proudly, glanced at a few people with satisfaction, and said indifferently: "How easy it is to transfer back to the General Alliance, let alone be promoted to the Shadow Pavilion." However, you are all brothers who were born and died with me, and if he rises to prominence, he will naturally not forget your brothers. ”
Zhu Tang's words in front of the home were naturally good, but he was extremely proud in his heart, thinking that he would become the hall master at a young age, and it was inevitable that he would be transferred back to the General Alliance, and he also had the confidence to fight for the Shadow Pavilion. As for these subordinates, if he has the opportunity, he will naturally take it with him, after all, they are all his old subordinates, and some handy subordinates are still good after promotion. If he can't do anything, how can Hall Master Zhu take care of these subordinates, at most it is a stepping stone for him to rise. With strength and status, there is still a need to be afraid that no one will come to him.
Seeing that these subordinates were all excited by his words, Hall Master Zhu sank his face and said solemnly: "Those things will be said later, the thing to do well now is to keep an eye on Yuan Chang, keep abreast of their dynamics, and report to the sect master." If you can't even do this well, let alone being promoted and getting rich, whether you can save your life is a question. ”
"Yes!"
was beaten by the master of Zhu Hall, and several people suddenly settled down and focused their attention on the direction of Yuan Chang's army's camp. Originally, these people still had some complaints in their hearts, after all, they didn't do anything all day, they just stared at Yuan Chang's movements, and no one could stand it. And now with the promise of Hall Master Zhu, it naturally gave them a lot of motivation.
"Report!"
Yuan Chang and Guo Jia were discussing in the camp, and the call of the soldiers came from outside the big tent, and Yuan Changdang even summoned people in. Yuan Chang is deliberating, and the soldiers naturally know the severity, and since he is still here to report, it is obviously an important matter.
"Qiyu Zhou Mu, Deputy Military Division Xu has a letter coming. ”
"Good!"
Yuan Chang answered, took the letter from the soldiers, opened it and read it carefully, and then handed the letter to Guo Jia, and after everyone in the tent had read it, Yuan Chang took the letter again and burned the letter on the spot. Letters are easy to leave traces, and Yuan Chang naturally will not leave them, lest they be discovered by the people of the Shuntian Alliance, then the deployment will be disrupted, and everything is careful.
"Yuan Zhi's soldiers and horses have reached the White Horse City, and in two days they will be able to pass through Yanjin, and then cross the Yellow River to Guandu; in addition, the spies arranged by Yuan Zhi have also detected that Cao Cao's soldiers and horses have crossed Chenliu, and it seems that they have also quickened their progress. If it is at such a speed, I am afraid that Cao Cao will contact the Son of Heaven one step faster, what do you think of Fengxiao?"
"What the lord said is very true!"
Perhaps because of Yuan Chang's interference, Cao Cao was no longer complacent, and seemed a little anxious.
"However, the lord does not need to worry. Cao Cao thought that the people and horses of the lord were the soldiers and horses to welcome the Son of Heaven, as long as Yuan Zhi and they hid well, they would definitely be able to give Cao Cao a surprise, even if Cao Cao came into contact with the Son of Heaven first, Yuan Zhi and they might not have the opportunity to snatch the Son of Heaven. ”
"Haha, Feng Xiao is right, but I really want to see Cao Cao's expression at that time. However, it is a pity that we can't see that our opponent is not him at the moment. ”
