Chapter 19: A Strategist in the Skin of a Fierce General
At the beginning of July, Lin Xu led Zhu Jun, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and other generals to break through Runan, and the southern Yellow Turban was pacified, and then Liu Hong ordered him to go north to support Lu Zhi and besiege Zhangjiao.
Lin Xu was ordered, with Sun Jian as the vanguard, leading 8,000 troops to open the way, and fought successively, until he reached Dongjun-Cangting.
Lin Xu, who was making money all the way behind and picking up cheap ones, expressed his dissatisfaction: What is the situation? The warehouse pavilion guarded by tens of thousands of people, you Sun Jian's 8,000 elites can't be overturned? What's up? Think I didn't leave you oil and water?
Sitting in the carriage covered with silk and soft, Lin Xu, who was shaking a pure white goose feather fan in his hand, slowly got out of the carriage with the support of Cao Cao, walked to Sun Jian's side and said
"I said, Wentai, what's so special about this cangting that you tiger has returned in vain? Did you knock your teeth? ”
Sun Jian's old face turned red when he heard this, can he say that he was careless and was ambushed twice in a row, so he was repulsed?
Huang Gai on the side looked at the embarrassed appearance of his boss, smiled, and arched his hand
"General Qiyu, it was the last general who didn't check for a while and was ambushed, which led to the defeat of the army, and I ask the general to punish him."
These days, all the generals also know Lin Xu's temper: approachable, not a bit official, occasionally a little neurotic, likes money but doesn't value it, quite romantic but not obscene. As long as the offense is not big, he can laugh it off.
Like this time, although he was defeated by an ambush, he didn't suffer much damage in battle, and he also gained a few, which was a shame. Therefore, Huang Gai did not panic at all, and Lin Xu would not punish him for this at all.
Sure enough, Lin Xu glanced at him, stretched his waist, and asked indifferently
"What's going on with this barnhole?"
"General, there are about 12,000 guards, including 4,000 archers and 8,000 foot soldiers.
"Hmm~, Sun Jian listens to the order! Ben will have another 4,000 archers with you, and you will be limited to break through the warehouse pavilion within three days! ”
Sun Jian's eyes lit up after hearing this, this is another chance to give himself shame! Immediately said loudly
"The last general's order! Don't break the warehouse pavilion for three days, come and see you! ”
Lin Xu nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly frowned
(I said why is this place name so familiar, after the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao seem to have done another big job here, it seems that there is a famous strategist in this vicinity.... )
After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with it, Lin Xu slapped his head, and urgently ordered the guards to take out the map and look at the name of the place to recognize the person.
Looking at the map, Lin Xu really wanted to give himself a big mouthful
(Go back to Lao Tzu and go to the official book!) )
"Mengde, Mengde!"
Hearing Lin Xu's call, Cao Cao trotted over.
"Mengde, tell me about the towns around here, and by the way, introduce the celebrities here."
Cao Cao was confused, isn't the map on the desk, a celebrity or something, he is not a local, how can he know where to go? looked at Lin Xu, who was lying on the soft collapse again, so he had to hold the map and say
"General Yu, we are now in Cangting, and there are Yecheng, Ganling, Dong'e, Jinan, and Jinan..."
"Wait a minute"
Lin Xu shouted and muttered a few times: "Dong'a", his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly
"Is there a celebrity in Dong'a?"
Cao Cao thought carefully when he heard this
"The last general is lonely and unheard, and he has never heard of a famous person in Dong'a"
Lin Xu was suddenly unhappy, and waved his hand to let Cao Cao get out, in the early stage of the Three Kingdoms, you had the most old Cao strategists, and now tell me that I don't know, what do you want!
In fact, you can't blame Cao Cao, in ancient times, it was completely by transportation, communication by roaring, and those who could be famous all over the world were great Confucians, and the so-called celebrities in general were just rumored in a county, and it was normal for others not to know about this land.
And most of the famous generals and strategists in the Three Kingdoms period were not very prominent at the beginning, and they all gained their reputation through their own hard work.
After Cao Cao left, Lin Xu wondered, the name of Dong'e is very special, he remembered that there was a "guy from Sun Taishan", which was very powerful, and it was mixed with Cao Cao, but he couldn't remember what it was called.
On the second day, Sun Jian began to attack Cangting in full swing, and Lin Xu asked Cao Cao for Xiahou Yuan as a guard, leading a thousand cavalry to Bendong'a.
......
On a small hill outside Dong'e County, Lin Xu watched a middle-aged man riding a war horse and holding a spear, leading five hundred county soldiers to fight with the Yellow Turban under the city gate.
He was eight feet tall, with a beautiful beard, and the spear in his hand was fluttering, and the spear was so powerful that he could not move an inch of nearly a thousand yellow scarves.
Seeing this, Lin Xu asked Xiahou Yuan
"Miaocai thinks, how is this person's martial arts?"
Xiahou Yuan watched carefully for a moment, and said in a deep voice:
"Yes, it deserves to be brave"
Lin Xu nodded and asked again
"If Miaocai fights with one, how many moves can be won?"
Xiahou Yuan touched his mustache and replied with his head held high
"Eighty moves can be chopped, and after a hundred moves, you can be captured"
Lin Xu smiled when he heard this
(The combat power is probably second-rate and close to the first-class, and it is enough to be a rushing general!) It's just him, it's not in vain today! )
"Listen to the order! Defeat the Yellow Turban! ”
Xiahou Yuan was overjoyed in his heart and promised loudly, this is Bai Huahua's military exploits.
Half an hour later, Lin Xu stood on the Dong'e city wall and looked at the strong man with a gun
"Dare to ask the name of the strong man?"
"Don't dare, I've seen General Lin in the next Cheng Li"
(Cheng Li?) )
Lin Xu looked weird, who is this, I haven't heard of it at all.
(Wait!) Ritaishan, Rijiali, Cheng Yu! I'll go~~)
Lin Xu, who had figured it out, glanced up and down at Cheng Li even more strangely, isn't this a military general? When did you change jobs? Don't be a double cultivator!
"Eh, do you ~ have anything about Tarzan~, what's the matter?"
Lin Xu was also quite embarrassed, he remembered that this guy had an unclear story with Taishan.
Cheng Li frowned, thought for a moment and replied
"There was a dream before the next one, in the dream in Mount Tai to hold the sun, I don't know what the general asked, but this matter?"
Lin Xu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, that's right, it's him, the guy from Ritaishan!
Bah! Tarzan's senior strategist!
"I heard that Wang Du of Dong'e County raised troops to join the Yellow Turban and burned down the warehouses in the county. The county order is even more than the city and fled, but Zhong Deli is in a rage, spying on Wang Du, gathering the officials, and finding the county order to defend the city, so as to protect Dong'a, yes or no? ”
Although Cheng Li's personality is a little bad, Lin Xu, the auxiliary general, is also very comfortable in his heart after praising him, and bows his hand
"In the meager energy, not enough for the general to worry about the teeth"
Lin Xu smiled
"Zhongde is modest, with the talent of the king, I want to recruit Zhongde with the army, any position I can be the master, with the king to choose, what does Zhongde think?
Everyone around looked sideways, envious in their hearts.
When Cheng Li heard this, he looked at Lin Xu slightly and shook his head
"General Xie is very loving, but the old man is forty and three this year, and he is dying of old age, and I am afraid that he will not be able to serve the general"
Lin Xu rolled his eyes after hearing this, wasn't it you who just got a horse under the city?
"Half an hour ago, General Ben was outside the city to see Zhongde's heroic appearance in killing the enemy, but he was very brave."
Listening to Lin Xu's changed voice, Cheng Li frowned secretly
"The general is loved, the old man is not blessed, now the yellow scarves are everywhere, the war is chaotic, and I want to protect the children in the family, please forgive the old man for not being able to serve the general"
"In this way, if the war subsides and the world is stable, Zhongde is still willing to serve my Han?" Lin Xu raised his eyebrows
"That's natural, the old man is a Han official, and it is his duty to serve my Han."
"Good! In this case, General Ben will not be strong, and after General Ben pacifies the Yellow Turban, he will come to recruit again, and at that time, Wan Wang Zhongdemo will have to postpone it. ”
"This...."
