Chapter 848 [Embarrassment]
Lin Nandao: "Okay, let's not say a word." Everyone has a different opinion, but it is not appropriate to quarrel. The more than 80,000 Xianbei people are all soldiers, and their physical fitness must be very good, and there are many coal mines in Bingzhou, so I am going to open a few mines in Bingzhou, so I will let the Xianbei people be miners, responsible for mining minerals, and all these more than 80,000 Xianbei people will be scattered to various mining plants, handed over to the soldiers, and assigned slave numbers, so that they can be mining slaves for a lifetime. β
"Hahaha, the lord's idea is good, and his subordinates agree." Ouyang Yinying laughed heartily.
"Hehe, I agree too." Tai Shi Ci said with a smile.
"Lord, now that the threat of Xianbei is gone, the Xianbei people are even more injured, and I am afraid that they will not be able to recover in a short time, and my subordinates think that the top priority is to arrange for the state officials as much as possible, and then quickly enter the ...... to recuperate," Wang Wenjun advised.
Lin Nan nodded, and said: "Han Meng, I ordered you to assassinate the history of Bingzhou, General Weixi, and lead the troops to garrison Jinyang, although there is no longer Lu Bu's troops in Bingzhou, but there are still two or three hundred thousand Huns in Xihe County and Shangjun County, and they have not been well resolved, and our army does not dare to send troops rashly, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, you can work hard, anyway, Xihe County and Shangjun are all Huns, and the Han people are basically in Taiyuan County and Shangdang County, you just need to govern these two places." I have sent a letter to send Sinpi to the state of Thanh to assist you in the administration of these two counties. In addition, I will ask people to go to Bingzhou to handle the mining affairs, and then you only need to send the more than 80,000 Xianbei people to the mine in batches......"
Han Meng clenched his fists and said, "No, my subordinates obey orders." β
"Zhang Liao ordered you General Weiyuan to lead your troops to garrison Yunzhong County, and the important task of recovering Shuofang, Wuyuan, Dingxiang, and Yunzhong will be handed over to you, in addition, the Huns under you. Let them go back to their stations and convey my friendship to the Xiongnu tribes, and it would be better if they could use the Huns as they used the Wuhuan people. β
"Nuo's subordinates understand."
"Zang Ba, I ordered you to be General Weidong, and you returned to the plains. Always pay attention to the movements of Qingzhou, and if necessary, you can enter Qingzhou from the secret port of Donglai County to inquire about the news. β
"No"
"Tai Shici, you lead your troops back to Jicheng, Jicheng is the foundation of my Yan country, the center of government decrees, the population and wealth are there, you can't do without a general......"
"No"
"Chen Zhi is the Taishou of Wei County, and Wei Yan is the Taishou of Changshan. Zhang He is the Taishou of Julu, Bai Yu is the Taishou of Qinghe, and a few of you quickly return to Jizhou, and obey the arrangement of the military advisor Jia Xu. Wang Wenjun was the Taishou of the Shangdang, and the rest of the people who did not have their names were all marching to Hanoi with me to join Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong. β
"No"
β¦β¦
Hanoi, Huai Thanh.
Huang Zhong is practicing archery on the school grounds. He taught his technique of piercing the Yang in 100 steps to the generals around him, which attracted the applause of everyone.
"General Huang"
Huang Zhong heard someone call him. turned around and saw Zhao Yun coming over, so he squeezed out of the crowd and greeted him: "General Zhao, why are you here?" β
Zhao Yun took out a letter and handed it to Huang Zhong. said: "General Huang, the lord is nine hundred miles urgent"
When Huang Zhong saw that the letter was intact, he knew that the letter had not been opened, so he asked, "General Zhao, you haven't opened it to see?" β
Zhao Yun said: "What the lord said is very clear. General Huang is the chief general, I am the deputy general, if General Huang is not present here, how can I open this letter privately? β
Huang Zhong secretly admired Zhao Yun's morality, and with a "snort", he opened the letter, and then read it with Zhao Yun.
When the two of them saw what was written on the letter, they both had a smile on their faces, and when they had read it all, they both laughed heartily and said: "Great, the lord won a great victory outside the Yanmen Pass, and destroyed the 150,000 army of the Xianbei people with less, which is really gratifying." β
The two almost hugged each other happily, although Huang Zhong's age was older than Zhao Yun's, but there was no generation gap between him and Zhao Yun, he came from the foot soldier step by step, and the care for the soldiers was also in place, so in Huang Zhong's army, when he went on the expedition, there was no distinction between generals and soldiers, only brothers and brothers.
"Let's go, go back to Taishou Mansion, we will start to deploy, Lu Bu is going to be unlucky this time"
The two of them left the school field happily.
Sili, Xiangnan City. Guo Jia sat in the Taishou Mansion, holding a brush in his hand, with a blank piece of paper spread out in front of him, and was writing hard. But seeing the sprinkled hundreds of words, the pen is full of dragons and snakes, vigorous and powerful, and there is quite a show of everyone.
"Hao Meng"
"What do you command?" Hao Meng was wearing iron armor, wearing an iron helmet, and a sword hanging from his waist, and asked with his fists clenched.
Guo Jia blew on the paper, and after the ink dried, he folded the paper, then stuffed it into an envelope, sealed it with beeswax, and handed it directly to Hao Meng, saying: "You escort the grain and grass to Xuanyuan Pass this time, please give this letter to General Gao, and then you will stay in Xuanyuan Pass and assist General Gao in guarding Xuanyuan Pass." β
Hao Meng took the letter, turned around and left......
Guo Jia waited for Hao Meng to take two steps, his eyes wandered, flickering, and hurriedly shouted: "Come back." β
Hao Meng turned around and asked, "What else does the military advisor command?" β
"Please be sure to let General Gao follow what is written in the letter, this law can temporarily keep Xuanyuan safe."
"Is there anything else you want to command?" Hao Meng bowed and asked.
"No, you can go."
Hao Meng said goodbye to Guo Jia, turned around and walked out of the hall.
He left the Taishou Mansion, mounted on horseback, rode to the gate of the city, and shouted to the thousand soldiers escorting grain and grass at the gate of the city: "Go"
More than 100 carts of grain and grass, and more than 100 carts of newly created arrows, all of which were pulled by oxen, mules and horses, slowly moved southward. Since LΓΌ Bu retreated Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops with thousands of troops at the Tiger Prison Pass, there has been a brief peace around Si Li, and twenty days have passed, and the enemies of the Quartet have not moved, and in these twenty days, the counties around Luoyang, which Lu Bu controlled, are full of complaints.
On the one hand, Lu Bu was a large-scale conscription, and on the other hand, he collected iron tools from the hands of the people in various counties, and then put them into a smelter near Xiangnan City for smelting, and finally the arrows were crafted by the blacksmiths who were snared.
Hao Meng rode a horse, escorting grain, grass and arrows and slowly drove southeast and southeast. He was one of the eight strong generals under Lu Bu's account, and when he and Cao Xing and Li Feng followed Gao Shun to attack the north gate of Yecheng. Unfortunately, he was shot by an arrow and was seriously injured, and he has been recuperating until now, and his body has not improved until two days ago, but the wound on his chest will still be faintly painful, and he can only do some simple things to escort grain and grass......
It was a dozen miles to the south. Hao Meng ordered to stop on the side of the road for a rest, and let the oxen, mules and horses pulling the cart rest for a while. There are few horses in the Central Plains, and there are no mules and horses to escort grain and grass, so they can only bring the people's cattle instead, so the journey is very slow, and they often stop and go.
Stopping on the side of the road, Hao Meng jumped off the horse, walked under a big tree, and sat down at once. I opened the water bladder and drank a few sips of water before I got rid of the dryness in my throat.
He looked around, and saw that these recruits under his subordinates were all listless, and they were tired after only a while, he shook his head and said to himself: "If you restore your previous military appearance, why can't you dominate the Central Plains?" These recruits. They were all peasants who couldn't get on the horses. If you can't shoot an arrow, if you really go to the battlefield, ten may not be able to beat one of the others......"
"Whoosh"
A sharp arrow flew directly over, shooting straight towards Hao Meng, quickly brushing past the helmet cherry blossom above his head, and shooting the helmet cherry directly at the root of the tree behind Hao Meng. "Zheng"
The arrows were still trembling slightly. Hao Meng was surprised, this arrow came too fast, and he was not prepared at all. Turning his head to look, he saw a man scurrying out of the wild grass in front of him, followed by a group of people rushing out. Each of them had a longbow in his hand, an arrow bag on his back, and a short blade hanging from his waist.
"You want to find death" Hao Meng saw that the person at the head turned out to be Cao Xing, he immediately became angry and scolded loudly......
Cao Xing was responsible for gathering recruits and training recruits, and he was superb in archery, often leading a group of people to the barren mountains and mountains for archery training, with hunting as the training method. Today he took people to prepare to return to Xiangnan City, passing by here tired and sleepy, so he fell down to rest, who knew that he met Hao Meng escorting grain and grass through here, when even Hao Meng made a joke.
When he saw Hao Meng angry, he immediately said, "I'm just joking with you, why are you so serious?" β
Hao Meng stood up, took off the arrow on the top of his head, broke it hard, broke the arrow in two, threw it on the ground angrily, pointed at Cao Xing and said, "You kid remember it for me, don't inch in." β
Cao Xing was originally Hao Meng's subordinate, but later Lu Bu took a fancy to archery, so he was promoted to general, and he was on the same rank as Hao Meng...... When he saw that his former boss was angry, he hurried over and asked, "Don't be angry, I'm not joking with you, look at it, a good arrow, you have to break him, in this way, I will kill one less enemy, and we will have one more enemy." "Don't talk nonsense, Lao Tzu's injury has not healed, when I recover, see if I don't fight, you are looking for teeth all over the ground. Don't think it's great that you shot and wounded a few Wei generals, I'm going to go to Xuanyuan Pass now to see if I don't cut off the head of the enemy's main general. β
Cao Xing said: "You want to go to Xuanyuan Pass?" Very good, the five hundred archers behind me have almost been trained, and everyone's archery skills have reached a certain level, so you can take them on the road with you, go to Xuanyuan Pass to help General Gao, and kill a few more enemies......"
Hao Meng glanced at the five hundred archers behind Cao Xing, although they were not wearing armor, their bodies were not strong enough, and their ages were not the same, but he knew very well the strength of Cao Xing's training of archers, and immediately said, "Are they really almost trained?" β
Cao Xuan nodded and said, "It's completely possible to go to the battlefield, what I taught them are actual combat skills, and shooting the enemy is the most effective." With them as your companions, you'll be able to survive the enemy's army and shoot a lot of pursuers. β
Hao Meng said: "Okay, you go back and tell the military master, and I'll leave." β
Cao Xing said: "Take care all the way." β
Hao Meng turned over and got on the horse, and Cao Xuan gave a word to the five hundred archers, and then let Hao Meng take the five hundred archers away......
Seeing Hao Meng go away, Cao Xuan stood alone in place, and the smile on his face slowly sank, and finally became more and more gloomy. Turning around, Cao Xingyin smiled and said, "You are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." When I was in your army, you beat and scolded me, and now I must pay it back double. Hao Meng, don't blame me, when you were under Yecheng, I shot the arrow behind you. It's a pity that I didn't want your life, and I won't let you go so lightly this time. β
β¦β¦
In Xiangnan City, Guo Jia was still mobilizing grain and grass, and sent people to escort Wen Chou and Lu Bu respectively.
At this time, Kalis and Lin Chu walked in together, both of them with a hint of a smile on their faces. When he saw Guo Jia, he bowed together: "I've seen the ...... of the military advisor"
Guo Jia raised his head and saw that Calis and Lin Chu were coming together, so he immediately retreated: "I have important matters to discuss with them, you all go down." β
After retreating, Guo Jia walked to Kriss's side, stepped forward to hold Kriss's hand, and asked, "Is things going well?" β
Karis nodded and said, "Don't worry, husband. As soon as the progress was smooth, a thousand cavalry were ready at the Mengjin ferry and could retreat to the north bank at any time. β
Guo Jia nodded and said, "Well, it's very good, Lu Bu has collected a lot of gold and silver treasures, and the things in the treasury have been almost transported after more than ten days of our efforts, and the grain has also been divided into batches." As long as the lord leads his troops south, it can come in handy immediately. β
"Join the army. General Huang and General Zhao brought letters from Hanoi, asking them to join the army...... "Lin Chu has been secretly protecting Guo Jia, and at first he didn't dare to get too close, for fear of meeting Lu Bu, but since Guo Jia came to Xiangnan City, Lin Chu also followed. happened to be conscripted, so he was rightfully conscripted into the army and became a personal soldier of Guo Jia.
Guo Jia took the letter handed over by Lin Chu, and after reading it hurriedly, he smiled and said, "Xianbei people are defeated. The lord Yanmen Pass won a great victory, won more with less, defeated 150,000 Xianbei people, and the Wuhuan people swept the entire eastern Xianbei under the leadership of Qiu Liju, and also hit the central Xianbei, and the grassland outside the state and Youzhou has become a no-man's land, Tian Fengzheng led Shisun You, Qiu Liju, Badun and others to choose a site to build a city on the grassland, so that there is no scruple north of the Yellow River, and the rest is Lu Bu's business. β
Lin Chu said: "How do you reply to the letter when you join the army?" β
Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "You quickly return to Hanoi, tell General Huang and General Zhao, and say that I am ready here, as long as they cross the Yellow River south, I will be ready to answer at any time, according to the itinerary of the lord, it should arrive in Hanoi in two days, and at the latest in three days, it will inevitably go south to Sili, and when the time comes, Sili will be the burial place of Lu Bu." β
Lin Chu said: "No"
"By the way, don't come back after you go back, Cao Xuan is already suspicious of you, this person is very small, I have to find a way to get rid of him."
Lin Chu said: "Joining the army, what if it is dangerous? β
Karis said: "You can leave with confidence, if there is danger, I will save it, I don't want to be so young...... Oh, by the way, how do you say that...... Oh, it's widowhood, yes, widowhood. β
Lin Chu smiled and arched his hand: "Take care of yourself when you join the army, Lin Chu will go back." β
Guo Jia nodded and said, "Well, tell General Huang and General Zhao, if the lord wants to go south, please cross from Mengjin, and someone will naturally answer you." β
"Well, farewell." Lin Chu turned around and left the hall.
Dresses said, "Husband, do you have anything else to worry about now?" β
"No, though, I'm most worried about you. I'm more worried about Cao Cao, I heard that Cao Cao is preparing to attack the Tiger Prison again, I don't know if the lord can stop it this time, I don't want Cao Cao to come to Sili one step ahead of the lord. β
β¦β¦
At this moment, Lu Bu was in his room with his wife Wei, Wei was originally in Jinyang, and after the guard Yang Chou surrendered, he couldn't bear Wei's death, so he secretly hid it, and then entrusted someone to send Wei to Sili, which was regarded as repaying Lu Bu's kindness.
When Lu Bu saw his wife, he was happy, and let the soldiers rob the people around, and the fact that he had been quiet for more than 20 days made him feel more courageous, and Cao Cao did not move, so he gradually let down his guard......
Now, in the whole Tiger Prison Pass, there is a cry of joy, the soldiers looted the people's women's football team has thousands, an average of one soldier can be left, and the general school level generally has to serve two, this kind of day has lasted for three days, happy men, but bitter women, women with strong temperament, do not endure the humiliation, they will kill themselves. But most women still give in because they are afraid.
On the city wall of the Tiger Prison Pass, the soldiers of the Jin army drank leisurely in the morning mist, and hundreds of people were newly added soldiers, these people were all ruffians from the counties around Luoyang, although they were forced to join the army, but they also ended up at ease. While others enjoyed themselves in the barracks, they did not drink alcohol here. It's a bunch of loose sand.
Suddenly, everyone vaguely heard the neighing of horses, and not far away, more than 100 fireballs in the dark night were thrown towards the city wall, and a group of scorching flames crossed the city wall and smashed directly into the gatehouse on the city wall.
"Boom"
There was a loud bang. Flames splashed, stone chips flew wildly, and boulders doused with fierce fire oil continued to crash into the tower, breaking the pillars of the gatehouse......
"Boom"
With a loud bang, the gatehouse collapsed, crushing the drunken soldiers directly below.
Dozens of flames flew over the city walls and gatehouses, and landed on the thatched houses in the city, and the fire in the city burst out
The rest of the soldiers were shocked, and their drunkenness was gone. got up, left the city tower, and kept shouting: "Go to the water, go to the water, the Wei army has launched a night attack"
"Boom Boom"
The boulder with the flame continued to smash into the city wall of the Tiger Prison Pass, Cao Cao rode on horseback, watched the soldiers on the city wall retreat, then raised his hand, waved forward, and Li Dian, Le Jin, Li Tong, Han Hao, Shi Jian and others, who had already prepared behind him, each led the soldiers to rush forward.
Li Dianchong was at the front. As soon as they reached the city gate, they immediately smashed the city gate with siege engines. The giant log waved in the hands of the soldiers, and the soldiers worked together to violently push the conical logs against the city gates, and from time to time they sounded loud trumpets......
Le Jin and Li Tong commanded the archers to aim at the city wall, and as soon as they saw someone showing their heads, they immediately released arrows. Han Hao and Shi Jian waited behind with the cavalry. The war horse was restless, the people's hearts were excited, and the resentment that had been accumulated for more than 20 days was finally about to explode on this day.
"Boom"
With a loud bang, the gates were smashed open, and the siege vehicles quickly retreated. The infantry in front immediately drilled in, and after removing the huge latch, they opened the city gate, and the Wei infantry cavalry rushed in.
Cao Cao stood in the distance, and when he saw his subordinates enter the gate of the Tiger Prison, a smile appeared on his face.
"The mourning soldiers will win, the lord's move to retreat into advance really played a wonderful role, Lu Bu is proud and arrogant, and he will inevitably be ...... by the lord cough cough cough ...... The ...... captured" Xi Zhicai was also excited, and after seeing the city gate broken, he said in a weak voice......
Cao Cao was still happy, but after hearing Xi Zhicai's cough, he couldn't help frowning, staring at the Tiger Prison Pass, and secretly thought in his heart: "The military division's health is not as good as day by day, compared with more than 20 days ago, it has obviously worsened a lot, and the prescription prescribed by the famous doctor Zhang Ji has gradually become invalid, can't the military division survive this year?" Heaven wants to take my mastermind, who will be my advisor in the future? β
Xi Zhicai coughed lightly and gasped: "Lord, don't you really plan to use the discordant meter?" β
Cao Cao said: "Even Cheng Yu and Xun Yu respect Guo Jia so much, it is enough to show that he has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, I Cao Cao has always wanted to convince him, if I used the divisive strategy, I would have used it a long time ago, so why wait until now?" β
"But...... Guo Jia has already taken refuge in Lin Nan, and he may not be willing to surrender to the lord......"
"Seeking things is in the sky, and I Cao Cao wants to do the opposite, even if I go against the sky, why not? Born Guo Fengxiao, even if he is not used by me, I will forcibly keep him by my side, I want him to see with his own eyes, I Cao Cao, is thousands of times stronger than Lin Nan who he took refuge in."
"Lord...... The lord is arrogant and dry, and his subordinates admire him, but he ...... The subordinates are worried that the main guild will not gain more than it loses, and it will be the lord who will be sad at that time, so it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible. β¦β¦ My subordinates also know that the lord loves and is eager to seek talents, and my body is not as good as day by day, and I am afraid that I will soon die in the world. For the sake of the lord's future hegemony, his subordinates will definitely do their best to visit the Magi for the lord...... cough cough cough ......"
"Strategist, your body is important, it's better to talk less."
"Lord, I have a sentence that I don't vomit unpleasantly, as the so-called people are dying, their words are also good, I want to ask the lord, do you have to Guo Jia to serve the lord?"
"I've made up my mind."
Xi Zhicai sighed, and then said slowly: "Lord, although Guo Jia was known as the 'little prince' in Yingchuan when he was young, and he also met many famous people, but after all, he is still too young, and there is one of his subordinates who wants to recommend it to the lord, I don't know if the lord is willing to accept it?" β
After hearing this, Cao Cao asked, with a hint of surprise: "The person recommended by the military advisor must be an outstanding talent, I don't know who this person is?" β
"This person is also Yingchuan Juncai, Yangzhai people, and Guo Jia is a fellow villager...... cough cough cough ......"
"Yingchuan is full of talents, and the world's celebrities are here. It's a pity that such an important place was occupied by Yuan Shu, if I occupy Yingchuan County, I will definitely be able to recruit more talents......"
"The lord doesn't have to worry too much, the dry bones in Yuan Shu's mound will be captured by the lord sooner or later, although Yingchuan is under the rule of Yuan Shu. However, Yuan Shu did not know how to apply the talents here, which caused the outstanding talents to leave one after another. The person I am recommending today is precisely an outstanding talent in Yingchuan. β
"Oh, then I'm going to listen carefully, and I ask the military advisor not to hide it." Cao Cao was aroused by Xi Zhicai's interest and immediately said.
Xi Zhicai said: "This person learned swordsmanship at an early age, and his swordsmanship is exquisite. often considers himself a benevolent man. Later, he complained about people, killed people and fled, and was captured by officers and soldiers, but he kept his name shut and did not say his name...... All the people who had been blessed by him came to rescue him, and after many rescues and escapes, he left Yingchuan. From then on, he abandoned the sword, searched for famous teachers, and studied hard. I made great progress in my studies, and then I met by chance. As soon as we saw each other, I left him alone. β
"Oh?" After Cao Cao heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Then where is he now?" β
Xi Zhicai smiled, turned his head to the person behind him, and said, "Come here, meet the lord."
"Xu Shu see Wei Hou" A person walked from behind Xi Zhicai. Immediately pray.
Cao Cao saw that Xu Shu was very young, about twenty years old, but he could be so respected by Xi Zhicai, so he couldn't help but look at Xu Shu a few more times.
But I saw Xu Shu's black half-length hair sticking softly to the back of his head and on both sides of his face, and his black eyes radiated a mysterious brilliance like a deep universe. With a straight nose, ruddy and supple lips, and a melon seed face, he is definitely a first-class beautiful man in terms of appearance.
However, this does not completely bring out Xu Shu's excellence and pride, because his figure is also toned and straight, and his perfect muscles are exposed in a black tight-fitting swordsman suit, and his height of nearly one meter eighty-five is enough to stand out in the crowd......
Xu Shu didn't wear armor, his slender figure was just wearing a snow-white hunting suit, and the golden tassels on the cuffs added a lot of luxury to him.
Cao Cao was a little stunned, standing with such a tall and beautiful man, he was ashamed of himself. I looked at it again, but I saw that it was a handsome face without the slightest flaw with a broad forehead, showing wisdom beyond ordinary people, and there was a fortitude that was rare in literati in the quiet, but there was also more calmness on the body that ordinary martial artists lacked, and the combination of the two made him feel that this person's heart was deep and elusive.
Xi Zhicai saw that Cao Cao looked at Xu Shu for a long time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he deliberately coughed lightly, and said: "Yuan Zhi and I have forgotten the old man, hidden in my mansion for two years, and have been secretly observing the lord, as the so-called good ministers choose the lord to do things, Xu Yuanzhi has the talent of the heavens and the earth, ten times more than me...... My life is short, I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive this year, after my death, although the lord let Yuan Zhi replace me, I believe that he will be able to help the lord dominate the Central Plains and pacify the world. β
Xu Shu is no stranger to Cao Cao, he came to Yanzhou Changyi two years ago, when the world's heroes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao led his troops to Chen Liuhuimeng, leaving only Xi Zhicai, Yu Banzhen to guard Changyi, and he also met Xi Zhicai at that time.
Yingchuan is talented, Xi Zhicai is a famous person, Xu Shu gave up martial arts and literature, visited a number of celebrities as teachers, he was smart since childhood, has the ability to never forget, and learned very quickly, the longest one was in Jingzhou, followed Xiangyang celebrity Sima Hui, studied for half a year, and after the achievement, he left.
After arriving in Yanzhou, Xu Shu heard that Yingchuan celebrity Xi Zhicai was in Changyi, so he went to visit, the two hit it off at first sight, and Xi Zhicai invited him wholeheartedly, and he also felt that there was no time to drift down, so he temporarily agreed to Xi Zhicai and stayed in Changyi.
Later, he met Cao Cao, and also heard about the crusade against Dong Zhuo, seeing that Cao Cao did not go to Luoyang to fight for power, but swept away the Aocang grain and grass and quickly returned, feeling that Cao Cao was prescient, so he began to observe secretly, and finally determined to follow Cao Cao.
It wasn't until today that he officially met Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao looked at Xu Shu, he heard Xi Zhicai's strong recommendation, and immediately understood, Xi Zhicai wanted Xu Shu to be his successor from the beginning, so he endured it for two years before recommending it in a timely manner. He was thirsty for talent, so he immediately turned over and dismounted, bowed to Xu Shu, and said, "Is Sir willing to be my mastermind under my account?" β
Xu Shu did not hesitate at all, nor did he have the slightest pretentiousness, and replied very happily: "I have been waiting for this moment for two years. Today, I officially visited Wei Hou, and I have already made up my mind, in this life, Xu Shu is willing to follow the lord and never deviate. β
There is no fame and reputation, and there is no pride and arrogance of literati. Some are just the heartiness of martial artists, and Cao Cao immediately fell in love with the young man in front of him. He laughed out loud, and immediately said to Xu Shu: "From now on, you will serve as the general of our army, your power is like that of a military division, and the transfer of troops is like a general......"
"Xu Chu" Cao Cao twisted his face and shouted.
Xu Chu rode on horseback, jumped down when he boarded, hugged his fists and said, "What does the lord command?" β
"From today. I promoted you to the rank of lieutenant, led a hundred tigers and leopards to ride, followed by Xu Junshi, and protected him thoroughly, and there must be no mistakes" Cao Cao couldn't help the joy in his heart, and reluctantly separated Xu Chu.
"Huh?" Xu Chu looked surprised, looked at Xu Shu, and asked. "Lord, do you really want me to follow this little white face?"
"You don't have any jokes. He is a general, both a military advisor and a general, you are his bodyguard, if he has any strengths and weaknesses, you should not come back to see me. Cao Cao said.
Xu Chu was very unhappy. But he didn't dare to disobey the order, so he glanced at Xu Shu and said reluctantly: "No, my subordinates obey the order." β
The waning moon is like a hook, and the cold moonlight caresses the tiger prison. Inside the blazing Tiger Prison. It was already noisy, and the sudden attack of the Wei army caught the Jin soldiers in the pass by surprise, and some of the soldiers who were still sleeping in the barracks were hacked to death before they could react.
Women screamed, horses neighed, and people were buzzing.
The pot exploded in the Tiger Prison Pass, and the soldiers had no time to do anything to block this surprise attack.
There was no suspense in the massacre, more than 2,000 soldiers died in the arms of women, 1,000 soldiers were burned to death by the fire, and only a few hundred horsemen really escaped.
Cao Cao led the army into the Tiger Prison Pass, and immediately ordered people to put out the fire, and waited until the fire was gradually brought under control, only to see Li Dian and Le Jin coming over.
"Where's Lu Bu?" Cao Cao saw the frustration on Li Dian and Le Jin's faces, and the appearance of being blackened by the smoke, so he asked casually.
"Let him run, his red rabbit horse is too fast, we can't catch up, and there are more than 300 cavalry following him, all of them are brave men, our army chased for nearly ten miles, and was killed more than 200 horsemen, and finally Lu Bu couldn't be seen, so he retreated...... Li Dian replied.
"Forget it, he has been surrounded by the princes of the Quartet, and he can't escape. You came over and met the military general Xu Shu. Cao Cao rushed to Li Dian and Le Jindao.
Li Dian and Le Jin saw that there was a handsome young man beside Cao Cao, so they bowed and said, "See Xu Junshi." β
Xu Shu also returned a salute: "The two generals are polite, please take care of me in the future." β
Cao Cao said with a smile: "This is my newly appointed military general, both a military division and a general, the position is above the generals, it can be regarded as my second lieutenant, no matter what Xu Junshi says in the future, you must not disobey." β
"No" Li Dian and Le Jin saw that Cao Cao valued Xu Shu so much, but they were not very convinced in their hearts, and after looking at each other, they replied in unison.
Xu Shu also saw Li Dian and Le Jin's displeasure, but he didn't care, but leaned over and said to Cao Cao, who was sitting there: "Lord, now that the tiger prison has been broken, the soldiers are fast, and they should move forward quickly." Without waiting for Cao Cao to answer, Li Dian hugged his fists and said: "Lord, my subordinates think that when a partial army is sent to attack the back of Xuanyuan Pass, Gao Shun is stationed in Xuanyuan Pass, resisting Liu Biao's Chu army and Yuan Shu's Song army, as long as Xuanyuan Pass is broken, the two of them will be able to enter the pass, drive straight in, and form an encirclement with our army, and the lord can also kill Lu Bu in front of the heroes of the world, and then it will inevitably make the Chu army and the Song army have scruples, and dare not underestimate our army." β
"The general's method is not appropriate, Lu Bu has become the bag of our army, as long as the soldiers are in the city, they will be at their fingertips, why bother to make such a big bend to let the Chu army and the Song army enter the Luoyang area? The Chu army and the Song army have been watching from the sidelines, and they have been holding a wait-and-see attitude, it doesn't matter if they have their help or not, but if they come, they will get a piece of the pie, and the relationship between our army and the Song army is tense, and if there is any friction together, then it will be very unfavorable to our army...... I thought that when the cavalry was dispatched at the fast station, and the infantry was behind, they went straight to the city of Xiangnan, where Lu Bu was located, even if Wen Chou and Gao Shun returned to defense, it would still be too late. Xu Shu's words were straight and authentic.
Cao Cao stood up, straightened his helmet, and said loudly: "Li Dian, Le Jin, Shi Lian, Han Hao, the four of you each led your subordinate cavalry and went to Xiangnan City with me, and Li Tong led the infantry to follow closely and set off overnight. β
"No"
After giving the order, Cao Cao turned around and said to Xi Zhicai: "Military Division, there is still a long way from Tiger Prison Pass to Xiangnan City, and there are bumps on the road. β
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Xi Zhicai said, "The lord goes by his own control, don't worry about me, now that Yuanzhi is by the lord's side, the lord can sit back and relax, and I can recuperate with peace of mind." β
Subsequently, Cao Cao left a hundred soldiers to take care of Xi Zhicai, and took the four generals Li Dian, Le Jin, Shi Lian, and Han Hao, as well as Xu Shu, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, etc., to lead the cavalry to take the lead, while Li Tong led the infantry to follow behind and rushed to Xiangnan City overnight......
β¦β¦
In normal times, Lu Bu galloped on the official road with more than 100 remnants of cavalry in rags, and everyone's face was tired. His wife died, his brother-in-law died, and even the more than 5,000 soldiers in the entire Tiger Prison Pass were reduced to nothing overnight, and the fire burned the Tiger Prison Pass, ruthlessly burning a piece of his heart.
"Alas"
Lu Bu sighed heavily, his face was blackened by thick smoke, and the thin clothes on his body were as if they were not wearing them on a cold morning in early autumn.
He wrapped his clothes and put Fang Tian's halberd on the horse's head, looking at the bloodstained blade, he felt a sense of loss that he had never felt before.
"Lord, Gong County is ahead, do you want to take a break for a while?" The relatives beside him asked with a tired face.
Lu Bu was bare, with two hairy thick legs, and only wore a pair of big pants, the big pink pants were silky and soft, as thin as cicada wings, and he looked extremely petite when worn on him.
He wore a battle robe on his upper body, and the muscles of his chest, arms, and legs were all on display. However, he didn't go to participate in the beauty pageant, but on the way to escape, this outfit was not popular in ancient times, it can only be said that poor jingle people can't afford to wear clothes, but he is a dignified Jin Marquis, the unparalleled Lu Bu in the world, walking in front of people like this, can only be said to be a wolf.
When there was chaos in the Tiger Prison Pass, he was with his beloved wife, and suddenly heard the sound of killing outside, he panicked, grabbed a pair of pants and put them on, and before he could put on other clothes, Li Dian and Le Jin broke in with knives.
In a hurry, he grabbed his Fang Tian painting halberd, a harrier turned over, broke out of the window, blew a whistle and rode on the back of the red rabbit horse, originally to pick up his wife, but unfortunately his wife had a strong personality, holding a long sword and walking out naked, after hacking to death a Wei soldier, he asked Lu Bu to go quickly......
The Wei soldiers saw that Lu Bu's wife was too dangerous, so they directly chopped her into a pulp.
Lu Bu turned around and left, relying on the red rabbit horse and his own force, and quickly rushed out. Later, when he encountered the messy Wei Xu by the West City Gate, and hundreds of disheveled cavalry, they gathered together and retreated while fighting. Wei Xu's personality exploded at a critical moment, and he fled with more than 100 cavalry to cover Lu Bu, but was killed by an arrow from Le Jin.
Lu Bu was later chased and killed by Li Dian and Le Jin, and chased and killed all the way for more than ten miles, and there were constantly subordinate soldiers left to resist, which was considered to have escaped.
Thinking of the events of the night, Lu Bu was full of regrets, those things were vivid, and when the sky was light, he realized that the pants he was wearing were actually her wife's, which was really wolf. Fortunately, one of the lieutenants took off his red robe and put it on for him, covering his almost naked embarrassment. (To be continued......)
