Chapter 936 Ambition!
Cao Weiming's military tent has a boy in charge! The boy gave him advice and asked him to do what he wanted, this hand is not high, as long as he does not move, there is no threat to Hebei, and Lu Zheng can do whatever he wants.
And Cao Weiming's excuse is also very good, that is, the enemy is strong and I am weak, rather than directly confronting the opponent, it is better to stand still, so that the opponent is always thinking about the opponent, how can the opponent not scruples? As long as the opponent is scrupled, it's easy to do, doesn't this achieve Long Lingxiu's purpose?
This time the ball was kicked to the side of the Zhang brothers, these two brothers don't look heroic, in fact, they don't have many ideas. They secretly asked Long Lingxiu about repairing the book, but Long Lingxiu didn't come back to his senses for a while, but felt that Cao Weiming's approach seemed to be very appropriate.
This time, the Zhang brothers have no bottom, but these two people are ambitious people, seeing that Cao Weiming insisted on holding his troops, they discussed privately:
"Cao Weiming is actually afraid of death when he is a turtle with a shrunken head! Tens of thousands of horses like us are doing this in Hebei? Where can this contain what enemies and opponents? If you want me to say that we can't live in the wilderness, we have to occupy a few cities, even if we have to defend it, then we have to occupy a few cities and then defend it, so this is the right way! ”
"But Cao Weiming is the main general, what can we do if he doesn't move? We can't lead our own troops to fight the city, can we? ”
"What's not to do? Her Royal Highness the princess means to let you and me control the army, and now Cao Weiming's negative means are very deceptive and demagogic, and we just take advantage of this to tell you a fact, that is, we can't be without danger no matter what! If we don't have any danger, the consequences can be very serious! ”
The Zhang brothers discussed it privately and immediately put it into action, for them, they have to really grasp the military power in their hands so that they can rest assured, where will their younger generation obey such an old thing as Cao Weiming?
It just so happened that Cao Weiming let the army discuss the matter, and Zhang Yixian jumped out and said: "The land of Hebei is where we live for a long time, how can we camp in the wilderness for a long time now?" If we want to live in Hebei for a long time and complete the task given to us by Her Royal Highness the Princess, we should first capture Shangzhou, we occupy at least one state, and only with city defense can we have a long-term maneuver with Lu Zheng, so as to contain the opponent to the greatest extent, Cao Shuai, do you say this is the truth? ”
Cao Weiming was silent, just sneered, and at this time, several people secretly encouraged by Zhang Yi jumped out one after another, and they probably all meant the same thing, not to mention, their statement really sounded reasonable. Cao Weiming let the army camp, but how could he live for a long time when he camped in the wilderness?
If you want to hover in Hebei for a long time, don't you have to find a place to live? In fact, after the soldiers and soldiers set up camp these days, the life is comfortable, but I don't think that the life is too hard, there is nothing to buy in the wilderness, and there are some soldiers and generals who have special habits, which cannot be satisfied here, and the army is really not stationed like this!
The Zhang brothers' statement quickly received a response from many people in the account, and Cao Weiming then spoke: "Brother Zhang, my two elder brothers! If the city in Hebei was so easy to take, I would have taken it a long time ago, will I wait until today?
I don't hide it from my brother, this time Her Royal Highness the princess sent us "to come to drive death, and the errand we have to do is to drive death." It's easy to say that we want to seize the city with our little strength?
We are already the luck of the world to spend here now, if we rashly seize the city, I am afraid that many brothers will not be able to save their lives! ”
Cao Weiming said this, and the Zhang brothers immediately said: "General Cao, it makes sense for you to say this, neither of us can say that we can't convince anyone, in this case, will the general and not give it a try?" As far as I know, the city defense of Shangzhou is very empty now, but it is only a few thousand people to defend, if we attack by surprise, we should be able to take it quickly, take Shangzhou haha, our soldiers can have a week's land, there is everything in the city, and everyone can rest assured that they can have fun! ”
The Zhang brothers described the city of Shangzhou very wonderfully, which is really tempting for the soldiers, who doesn't want to find a more comfortable place to stay after staying in the wilderness for a long time? So for a while, the atmosphere in the meeting hall actually fell to the side of the Zhang brothers.
"Haha!" Cao Weiming laughed, he was not angry, and said: "Since Brother Zhang said so, then I have nothing to say, this proposal was put forward by the two of you, that's good!" I will give your brother 10,000 horses, how about you go to get Sangju?
If you can take Shangzhou, I, Cao Weiming, abdicate and make way for Xian, and give up the seat of the lord to your brothers to sit, but if we can't take Shangzhou, haha, then you brothers will have to listen to me in the future, otherwise you will not blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people! ”
When Cao Weiming said this, how could the Zhang brothers refuse? As soon as the two of them combined, they felt that Shangzhou City was just a small city, and such a small city would be defended by one or two thousand men at most, if Cao Weiming could give them 10,000 elite soldiers, why would it be difficult to take this city?
The key is that once the city is captured, Cao Weiming said that he wants to let Xian, and then their brothers will become the sole leader of the army and become the main general, which is too tempting for them.
Immediately, Zhang Yi said: "Okay, please ask the general to give our brother some troops, I will set off to attack Shangzhou immediately, and after taking Shangzhou, please don't break your promise!" ”
Cao Weiming was also very honorable, and did not hesitate to give Zhang Yi 10,000 troops and ordered them to attack Shangzhou immediately.
After the military order was issued, Cao Weiming returned to his camp and immediately reported the matter to the boy, and the boy immediately flew the pigeon to pass the book to Hebei, just imagine that the Zhang brothers' military use was leaked out in every detail, Hebei not to mention that Lu Zheng personally guarded it, even if Lu Zheng's subordinates guarded it alone, how could the Zhang brothers succeed?
The Zhang brothers were ambitious and talented, and led 10,000 horses to rush straight to Shangzhou, but before they arrived at Shangzhou City, they encountered a surprise attack by the Liaodong Army on the way.
The Liaodong Army is only 2,000 men and horses, but the 2,000 men and horses are all elite iron horses, and they came suddenly, suddenly attacked, and they were unable to prevent it. Zhang Yi's 10,000 horses seem to be a lot, but in fact they are vulnerable, these 10,000 horses were suddenly attacked by cavalry, and the elite was beaten to pieces, and before they reached Shangzhou, 10,000 horses were killed.
The Zhang brothers were killed in horror, but fortunately, the soldiers in his hands were elite, and after counting them, they only folded 2,000 people, and the loss of people and horses was small, the key was that this battle hurt morale. The originally high-morale army encountered this surprise attack and finally saw the strength of the Liaodong cavalry, where did they dare to go to Shangzhou?
In this way, the Zhang brothers went back with the army again, this time Cao Weiming immediately made a statement, and the Zhang brothers were dumbfounded by Cao Weiming, so they had to admit it!
And Cao Weiming further stabilized his position in the army with this, those generals who were ready to move before were honest one by one, they came to Hebei to send death, General Cao gave them a chance, so that they didn't have to fight to the death, they were not enough, and they still wanted to find a city to live a fairy life, it was really too much!
Cao Weiming was very happy in his heart, and after returning to the camp, he told the two of them about these things, and the boy said: "In the next step, the Zhang brothers will inevitably have a move, and then we will plan again, and after two things, I believe that the general can really control the army!" ”
Cao Weiming said: "The two of them still dare to make trouble? This time they will die for life, if they still make trouble, hehe, they will die without a place to be buried! ”
Tong Zi said: "Of course they themselves will not act rashly, but Long Lingxiu will soon have instructions, once this crazy woman is frustrated in the south, she will think of Hebei as soon as possible, and she will let you lead troops to attack Bianzhou!"
Since it is to die, then naturally you have to die vigorously, how can you be so timid? So don't worry, there will be a chance for you to move! ”
As soon as Cao Weiming heard what the boy said, he felt quite reasonable, and immediately he calmed down and continued to let the army stand still, and sure enough, only three days had passed, and the Zhang brothers were furious again in the account.
This time, they directly took out the meaning of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and Her Royal Highness the Princess clearly instructed that Cao Weiming should lead the army to attack Wuzhou at all costs.
Zhang Yidao: "Her Royal Highness the princess said, taking Wuzhou will open the way to attack Bianzhou, as long as we have Wuzhou, no matter how much it costs, it is worth it!"
His Royal Highness also said that at present, the main force of Liaodong has left Hebei, and Lu Zheng personally led the army south to Henan! At this time, it is the time for our Hebei army to make contributions, General Cao, Her Royal Highness the princess has an order, we can't disobey it! ”
Cao Weiming laughed and said, "Okay, since Brother Zhang said so, I Cao Weiming has nothing to say, how about I let Brother Zhang and the two lead the army to fight Wuzhou this time?"
If you can take Wuzhou, haha I'm still willing to give up the throne of the general, but if the two of you make a mistake, then we ...... Hehe, tens of thousands of us may have to hide in Hebei, and it will be difficult to go back! ”
When Cao Weiming said this, everyone at the scene looked at each other, and a kind of fear rose in many people's hearts.
There is no major event in life, there is no catastrophe except death, many things are small in the face of life and death, the innate fear of people in this world is the fear of death, in this case, Cao Weiming let the Zhang brothers go out again, such a move makes many people feel sad in their hearts.
And the Zhang brothers are also difficult to ride a tiger now, they are bent on seeking military power, and now Cao Weiming will give them military power, can they not take it? It's just that he has the military power in his hands, and then he has to go to war, how can he predict victory or defeat......
