Chapter 5: When the Great War Goes On
Luoyang City - Auxiliary General's Mansion
Since Liu Hong pushed Lin Xu out of the bright face, he kicked him out of the palace, set up an auxiliary general's mansion in Luoyang, and arranged all the belongings and servants clearly.
(Tsk, it's really not good-looking)
Lin Xu looked at Cao Cao in front of him and sighed in his heart.
He is about 1.6 meters tall, slightly thin, looks very average, has a little bit of stubbornness, and is estimated to starve to death if he eats with his face.
Cao Cao looked at the auxiliary general in front of him and was also quite confused, he had never heard of such a senior general in the Han Dynasty, but the seal he was wearing was real.
"Ahem, Meng De, are you willing to follow me south to attack the Yellow Turban and make a contribution?"
"This~, this is just a discussion of Lang, how can He De dare to follow the general"
Cao Cao's life is actually quite uncomfortable now, his grandfather Cao Teng is a famous eunuch, and he was born with the brand of a eunuch, but Cao Cao has always said that he is an anti-ten permanent servant, close to the scholars, but he is suspicious of the scholars, in fact, he also wants to use the Yellow Turban thief Kou to make military achievements and change the scholars' views of him, but Lin Xu, he doesn't know it at all.
"Meng De doesn't have to be too humble, I know very well with your talent, now is a great opportunity, don't miss it"
Lin Xu smiled and said secretly in his heart
(Cao Cao, Cao Cao, you are my big insurance, want to run?) How is it possible, or obediently obey me)
Cao Cao said helplessly:
"It's not that I don't want to follow the general, it's just that I am a councilor, if there is no transfer from the court, how can I leave my post without permission."
"In this way, if there is an order from the imperial court, is Meng De willing to follow General Ben?"
"That's natural, if there is an order, you must obey it!"
Cao Cao replied affirmatively, sighing in his heart (This Lin Xu appreciates me so much, but several elders in the court have told me to stay away from this person, and I don't know why)
"Haha, good! Mengde, look at this thing"
Lin Xu laughed and took out a silk towel from his arms and handed it to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao took a quick look at it and said in shock:
"This~, ordered me to lead a thousand elite Lin Wei as the general's personal guard?!"
"Yes, how? Meng De is unwilling? ”
Lin Xu pretended to be displeased
"How dare you, how dare you, it's really an honor to be able to defend the general"
Cao Cao sighed
(That's it, it's already done, it's useless to talk about it, and it's really a good opportunity)
"Excellent! Of course, Meng De might as well call those brothers from your Peiguo County together, so that they can make contributions together, and this general can write you a conscription order."
Lin Xu was very happy, but he didn't forget to dig up the Cao family and the Xiahou brothers, all of whom were fierce generals.
"This~, here to thank the general for a few brothers"
As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Lin Xu shouted loudly: Pen and ink waiting!
When the pen and ink were placed in front of Lin Xu, he remembered that he didn't know how to write the official book of the Han Dynasty at all~
"Cough, Mengde, I don't know the situation in your family, so I'll write it by Mengde, and I'll seal it."
After speaking, Cao Cao couldn't refuse, and directly pushed the pen and ink over.
After Cao Cao finished writing, Lin Xu didn't even look at it, grabbed his big seal and closed it with a bang, and handed Cao Cao this conscription order representing the general of the Han Dynasty.
This operation moved Cao Cao so much, and his favorability towards Lin Xu rose gradually, trust. Cao Cao even regretted it a little, he only wrote Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan in the conscription order.
When Cao Cao returned to his home with complicated feelings, he immediately received a message from the palace: Your Majesty has summoned!
On the other side, Sun Jian and Liu Bei galloped all the way, and finally arrived in Luoyang before sending troops, and even received a summons from Liu Hong. In the palace, after some school examinations, Liu Hong was pleasantly surprised and called the tiger wolf. Among them, after Liu Bei verified the identity of the royal family, he sealed the general of Wupin Dangkou and led 3,000 Lin Wei to Lu Zhi's account to listen to the order. Sun Jian sealed the five products to beg the general, and led 2,000 Lin Wei to Zhu Jun's account to listen to the order.
And Zhang Jiao proclaimed himself "General Tiangong", Zhang Bao was the "General of the Earth", and Zhang Liang was the "General of the People" in the northern Jizhou area, looting everywhere, and in just one month, there were wars in 28 counties of the seven states of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Hong was not alarmed by this, he was as steady as an old dog, and while preparing all kinds of war materials in an orderly manner, he ordered all localities to recruit soldiers on their own, resist step by step, and buy time for the central government. It has to be said that due to Liu Hong's vigorous implementation of benevolent government in the previous month, he won the recognition of some people for the Han family, especially in the Hanoi area, because of the Han family's relief, he strongly supported the Han family, and thus boycotted the yellow scarf.
When Liu Hong received the news that the yellow scarves in Hanoi were actively removed by the people, his heart was sour.
In late March, Liu Hong personally stood on the outer city wall to watch the three armies go on the expedition, and the arrogance and self-confidence on his face greatly improved the morale of the soldiers. Lin Xu took the lead, surrounded by Cao Cao and other guards, and slowly marched in the direction of Changshe.
As early as four days ago, Sun Jian was proposed by Lin Xu: lead nearly 100,000 servants to escort grain and grass one step ahead. Not only to prepare the camp needed by the army in advance, but more importantly, to deal with the bandits along the road and speed up the march. After all, the two thousand elite feather forests under the leadership of Sun Jian are not something that any thief can shake.
In fact, Lin Xu himself understands that he has no military power, and only has the right to speak on some irrelevant matters. Seeing that Cao Cao's eyes were a little dodgy when he looked at him recently, he felt that he might not even be able to command these guards.
Without a complete saddle, it was very hard to ride a horse, Lin Xu wanted to get into the carriage and hurry, but unfortunately he was severely opposed by Zhu Jun, on the grounds that the commanders of the three armies must ride in front of the team to boost morale. As a result, when Lin Xu arrived at Changshe, even new skin had grown on the inner thighs of his two thighs.
Chosha-Nihonai
"A certain family thinks that they should immediately send troops and attack Bocai by surprise!"
Zhu Jun was the first to speak.
"Yes, the last general has been exterminating more than a dozen shares of yellow turbans all the way, but they are just outcasts and bandits, and they have no combat power at all.
Sun Jian held the sword in his hand and shouted for battle.
Zhu Jun was very satisfied with this, when he first saw Sun Jian, he felt very pleasing to the eye, and then saw that he fought bravely, every battle must be the first, and he even touched his back and called it a tiger.
Huangfu Song on the side also bowed slightly after hearing it, he also thought that the yellow scarf was not to worry, although there were many people, but it was simply a group of farmers, wearing rags, holding wooden sticks and hoes in their hands, lazy and lazy, this is a soldier?
The three of them had the same opinion, and they all looked at Lin Xu who was sitting at the top, after all, he was the nominal commander.
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to work hard, why don't you repair for three days and attack again?"
Lin Xu said lightly, he knew that Zhu Jun lost the first battle against Bo Cai in the official history.
"Hmph, the soldiers are fast and unexpected, do you understand the auxiliary general?"
Zhu Jun snorted coldly and said disdainfully.
"Bocai doesn't know that I've entered the long society? How stupid would he be to be defenseless against an army of 60,000 fully equipped? ”
Lin Xu is also not polite, this guy has always looked down on him, and he is targeted at everything. Riding in a carriage and not giving it, not opening a small stove, and shouting that the guards pinched their shoulders and beat their backs were also ridiculed.
"He has 110,000 troops, and it is reasonable for him to despise him!"
"You, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, two famous generals of the Han Dynasty, are here, so he dares to despise him? You ask Sun Jian, give him 100,000 soldiers, do you dare to despise the two of you. Besides, since Bocai can command 110,000 troops, how can he be incompetent! ”
Lin Xu knew that Zhu Jun was strong, and he gently praised it out of respect for the famous generals of the Han Dynasty.
Huangfu Song knows the way of dealing with the world, and has never offended people, so he said with a thin mud.
"The general of the auxiliary country is also reasonable, I have just arrived, the soldiers are tired, and I don't know the military situation of Bocai, it is indeed a little hasty to rush the troops, it is better to rely on the general of the auxiliary country, how about repairing and attacking again for three days"
Zhu Jun saw Huangfu Song speak, and he didn't want to save his face, so he snorted coldly and got up to leave.
Looking at Zhu Jun who left angrily, Huangfu Song sighed in his heart, his old friend's temper was really hot, so he had to bow his hand to Lin Xu and said:
"Gongwei has such a temperament, he didn't intend to humiliate the general, and I hope the general won't blame."
"Heh, I don't care, but I want to tell General Huangfu that if you go to war today, you will be defeated!"
Lin Xu waved his hand, stood up leisurely, and was helped away by Cao Cao, his inner thigh was now in severe pain.
Huangfu Song frowned and thought carefully, he didn't think that Lin Xu was alarmist, but that Lin Xu himself was very weird, the position of the auxiliary general, the secret decree, the obviously problematic personal guard, and the words and deeds were very problematic.
