Chapter 192: Cao Cao and Sun Jian
ββThe camp of the Han Army in Xihua
"Hasn't Sima Sun come back yet?" Zhu Jun looked at the outside of the camp worriedly.
Cao Cao persuaded on the side, "Sun Sima is brave and good at fighting, he will be fine, Zhu Zhonglang does not need to be anxious." β
Zhu Jun sighed and said, "When our army was defeated and retreated to Changshe, we could also retreat with the whole division, but I didn't expect that at the time of Xihua's victory, I fell for the thieves' army's tricks, and it was the general who was complacent." β
It turned out that when the Han army attacked Xihua, Peng Tuo was defeated but not chaotic, and set up an ambush in the middle of the road, and Sun Jian, who was brave and forward, was ambushed, although the follow-up Han army quickly arrived to kill the ambush soldiers, and even shot Peng Tuo, but Sun Jian could no longer be found.
At this time, a team of people came from afar, playing the banner of Sun Zi, Zhu Jun and Cao Cao went out of the camp to greet each other, but what they saw was Huang Gai who went out to find Sun Jian.
"Has Huang Junhou discovered Sun Sima?" Cao Cao asked with concern.
"Hey! I can't find it, if it's dark today, I'm here to get a torch and look for it again! β
"Zu Junhou and the others haven't come back yet, Huang Junhou don't worry, Sun Sima Nai will go down to earth, and there will be no problem." Cao Cao was relieved, turned around and said, "Zilian, you take your headquarters and put torches on to find Sun Sima!" β
Cao Hong behind him responded, and Huang Gai couldn't help but thank him gratefully.
This Huang Gai is not an ordinary background, he is also from Anlu Huang's family, and Huang Zhong and Huang Wan are all relatives, his father Huang Anai is the eldest son of Huang Xiang's fifth son Huang Zhan, counting, he and Huang Wan are the same generation, just because it is a partial house, and his father died early, so he was poor when he was a child, so he can only start from a small official, but after all, he is a famous family, and he also raised filial piety, in Sun Jian's army, faintly only under Sun Jian.
"Look! It seems to be Sun Sima's war horse! Cao Hong suddenly pointed to the distance and said, everyone looked, and sure enough, they saw a war horse galloping towards him, this war horse rushed directly to Huang Gai, biting Huang Gai's clothes and dragging them in one direction, everyone who saw it was surprised.
"This horse seems to want us to go to a place, it must be the place where Sun Sima is, let's go with him!"
If Cao Cao was stubborn by nature when he was a child, then Cao Hong can be said to be a complete gentleman, the Peiguo Cao family is a big family, Cao Teng is actually just a branch of the Cao family, Cao Song was adopted by Cao Teng from other branches of the Cao family.
In addition to Cao Teng, there are also Cao Ding, Cao Yu, Cao Chi and other multi-room clansmen, among which Cao Hong's house can not be said to be the richest, it is also one of the best, and he loves to play when he is rich, Cao Hong loves horses, and there are many horses in his family, and he also raises a lot of knights, which is why Cao Song specially recruited Cao Hong to bring people to help Cao Cao.
Zhu Jun, Cao Cao and others followed the war horse to a piece of grass, and sure enough, they found Sun Jian, who fainted to death by an arrow, and hurriedly rescued him, but fortunately, the arrow was not strong, Sun Jian rested for more than ten days and continued to go into battle, bravely taking the lead, looking at such a brave Sun Jian, Huangfu Song couldn't help but praise Zhu Jun, "Zhu Zhonglang really found a tiger, and it is really a talented man in Jiangdong." β
"General Huangfu, now the thief army in Yingchuan and other places of our army has been dispersed, but Wancheng is still under siege, Lu Zhonglang and Zhang Jiao in Jizhou can't fight for a long time, I don't think it's as good as our soldiers divided into two ways, I will lead the headquarters to Wancheng, and General Huangfu will go to Jizhou to help, what do you think?" As soon as Zhu Jun finished fighting Bocai, he began to think about the next battle situation.
Huang Fu Song and Zhu Jun are a little different, Zhu Jun was born in a poor family, and he relied on military merits all the way to the top, so he has rich war experience, but his political experience cannot be underestimated, Zhu Jun already knows that Huang Fu Song pushed himself as the first merit in the battle of the Changshe, so in the next battle of Jizhou, he can no longer get great merit, and he must be represented by the real scholar family Huangfu Song or Lu Zhi to get Zhang Jiao's head.
"It's so good, but Wancheng is in a dangerous terrain, I'm afraid I can't win quickly, Zhu Zhonglang can win!"
Zhu Jun thanked Huang Fu Song for his guidance, and immediately began to divide the troops, Huang Fu Song led the army north to Jizhou, Zhu Jun led the troops and horses south, Cao Cao followed Huang Fu Song to the north, and Sun Jian continued to follow Zhu Jun.
These two people also sympathize with each other in a series of battles in the Changshe, one admires each other's bravery, the other marvels at each other's use of soldiers, and vaguely sees each other as their future help in the Han Dynasty.
The news of the Battle of Changshe also quickly spread to Jizhou, Lu Zhi was naturally happy in his heart, but Zhang Jiao was like ashes.
The three major battlefields, one defeat is defeat everywhere, Zhang Jiao has seen the near future.
Although he saw the future of failure, Zhang Jiao was still unwilling to give up, and he immediately dispatched Qu Shuaibu to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to defend Cangting, the Yellow River crossing in the southeast of Yecheng, hoping to block Huangfu Song's army, and he led the main force to continue the battle with Lu Zhi.
At this moment, Ma Qiang, who was in Youzhou, had already received the edict sent by Luoyang, and also learned that Liu Yu had made a detour to Merge with Youzhou and rushed to Youzhou.
"Humph! So what kind of ability does Liu Yu have, he actually wants to take the camp master's assassination history as soon as he comes, it really makes no sense! Lin Hu stood at the head of the city and scolded angrily, in his heart, no one could compare to Ma Qiang who gave him food.
"Lin Hu, what nonsense! If outsiders hear it, you have to cause trouble for Brother Pony! Guo Jingang passed by and slapped Lin Hu's helmet, Lin Hu screamed in pain, but didn't dare to say more.
"That's a member of the Han family, don't talk nonsense, stand guard well!" After Guo Jin finished speaking, he led people to continue to inspect the city.
In saying that, Guo Jin was also a little unhappy in his heart, originally everyone thought that Ma Qiang had made so many contributions and swept away the three-way anti-thieves, and he would inevitably continue to be an assassin, but he didn't expect to kill Liu Yu halfway.
Although everyone says that Liu Yu is good, no matter how good he is, he is not his own person, Guo Jin is most worried that once Liu Yu becomes a assassin, he will be responsible for the logistics of the whole army.
Someone also suggested that Ma Qiang hide all the military grain, but he was vetoed by Duan Ying and Kou Xian, which is tantamount to breaking with Liu Yu directly, and Duan Ying thinks that Liu Yu is a relative of the Han family, and the last thing in the world wants the Yellow Turban to succeed is a person like him, so it will definitely not bring constraints to Ma Qiang's use of troops.
In the barracks outside the city, Qiu Liju looked worriedly at Ma Qiang, who was drawing, if Liu Yu was going to come to Youzhou to take office, he would take people from Bingzhou all the way to Youzhou, but now, he has gotten on Ma Qiang's ship.
The border market is easy to say, I believe that Liu Yu will also be open, but half of Yuyang's salt and iron have fallen into the hands of Ma Qiang, and the new agricultural tools that are now being implemented need to use a lot of iron.
It can be said that only Ma Qiang can give Qiu Liju iron ordnance and farm tools.
"Captain Ma, don't worry, we Wuhuan people will definitely support you! As long as you are in one day, we Wuhuan will look forward to you! β
Listening to Qiu Liju swearing allegiance there, if Ma Qiang believed a word, he would immediately eat the table in front of him!
All he says in his mouth is ism, and all he thinks about in his heart is business, although this sentence has not yet appeared, it is very suitable to apply it to Qiu Liju.
Ma Qiang promised that as long as Liu Yu could give Qiu Liju more delicious food, Qiu Liju would immediately lead Liu Yu to the horse.
"My lord doesn't need to be like this, Liu Tingshi and I will cooperate sincerely to benefit my Youzhou!"
Ma Qiang now says a set of official words, and Qiu Liju can only nod yes.
"As for ordnance and farm tools, you have also seen it, my Youzhou is in a state of ruins, there is a shortage of iron everywhere, and I will go south to Jizhou in the near future, I am afraid that this shortage will not change in a short time.
In this way, I will discuss with everyone again how to distribute some supplies to Wu Huan, after all, although you are wrong, you have also lost your way. β
Qiu Liju had no choice but to retreat.
