Volume 3 The Conquest of the Yellow Turban Chapter 94 Cao Cao Arrives
Erxian Village.
"Lord Qi, there is a team of soldiers outside, and the leader says that he is a friend of the lord and has come to visit."
Li Zhi and Guo Jia were handling official business at this time, when they heard a report from someone outside.
"Oh?" Li Zhi stood up and asked with a surprised face, "Who is here?" Did you vote for a prayer post? ”
The servant replied, "The man who came was in his thirties, a man of dark and thin complexion, but of great dignity, and he did not mention his name, but said that the Lord knew it when he saw it." ”
When Li Zhi heard this, he said to himself thoughtfully: "The face is dark and thin, but it is extremely majestic? ”
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said to Guo Jia on the side: "Brother Xian, hurry!" Brother Sui went to the door to greet him, maybe Brother Meng De was here! ”
"Brother Mengde?" Guo Jia, who was still bowing his head and writing a book, heard this, and immediately came to his senses: "If it is really Brother Meng De, then you really can't slack off, I'll go soon!" ”
After saying that, he got up and hurried to the door.
"Alas! Don't worry, wait for brother! ”
Before Li Zhi could react, he disappeared Guo Jia, and could only shout helplessly in place, seeing that Guo Jia did not respond, he shook his head, and also went to the city gate.
After the two of them came to the city gate, they opened the city gate, and saw Cao Cao standing at the door, looking at them with a smile.
Seeing this, Li Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and said loudly: "Brother Meng De, if you haven't seen you for a few years, you can think about it!" How can I have time to come to my little brother today? ”
"Hahaha......" Cao Cao smiled before speaking, looked at Li Zhi with excitement on his face and said: "It's true that I haven't seen you for a few years, I don't want to, but the virtuous brother of Xingzhi is a little blessed, I guess I have been very comfortable at home in the past few years, right?" ”
"Ha, Brother Meng De don't want to laugh at him" Li Zhi saw him laughing at himself, waved his hand, smiled bitterly, and then hurriedly led his hand to the city gate: "This is not the place to speak, Brother Meng De, please!" ”
After the three of them came to the hall, after the servants served tea, Guo Jia couldn't wait to ask: "How come Brother Meng De has time to come here, didn't you hear that Brother Meng De went to exterminate the Yellow Turban?" ”
When Li Zhi heard Guo Jia's question, he also nodded on the side, looking at Cao Cao with questioning eyes.
"Alas!" Cao Cao sighed at this time, and said to the two with a sad face: "I came here for my brother to ask for help!" Look at the love of the past, save me and wait for it! ”
"Oh?!" Li Zhi heard this, but he was surprised.
After carefully looking at Cao Cao, he asked puzzledly, "Isn't Brother Meng De unharmed at this time?" Why? ”
"Hey!" Hearing Li Zhi's words, Cao Cao sighed, picked up the tea cup in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp.
Immediately, he said with a sad face: "This time, my brother followed General Huangfu to exterminate the Yellow Turban."
But I didn't want the yellow scarf to have a capable person, and when we didn't reach Nanyang, we set up an ambush on the road, and we were ambushed by the yellow scarf, and we suffered heavy casualties.
As a last resort, General Huangfu had to lead us to retreat to Wancheng, but now, Wancheng is being besieged by the Yellow Turban thieves.
A few days ago, Brother Wei got the battle report of the virtuous brother, so he recommended himself to the Huangfu general Mao Sui, and led a team of men and horses to break out and ask for help from the virtuous brother! ”
Speaking of this, Cao Cao stood up and made a big salute to Li Zhi.
After that, Cao Cao was full of sorrow, and said to Li Zhi in a sincere voice: "For the sake of us and the ministers of the Han Dynasty, save Wancheng!" ”
Seeing him like this, Li Zhi stood up abruptly and quickly stepped forward to help him up.
"Brother Meng De, why do you have to be like this, we are all ministers of the Han Dynasty, how can we see death and not save it, Brother Meng De sat down at first, let me think about ......."
Cao Cao didn't refute either, so he sat down and looked at Li Zhi in contemplation with expectant eyes.
Li Zhi thought about things in his heart, unconsciously returned to his seat, and gently tapped a few cases with his hand.
I thought in my heart: "Save, it must be saved, but how to save the law, how many soldiers and horses to send, is a big problem, now most of the people and horses under his command are injured, but it is not easy to fight at this time, what should I do?" Well......?! ”
Li Zhi seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, he looked at Cao Cao, and asked eagerly: "Brother Meng De, do you know how many people there are in Nanyang Yellow Turban?" And how many people are trapped in the city? ”
Cao Cao saw that Li Zhi seemed to be going to the rescue, and he was overjoyed, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately replied: "There are more than 200,000 Yellow Turbans outside the city, and there are only 40,000 horses in the city. ”
"More than 200,000 ......" Li Zhi was a little silent when he heard this huge number, and stayed there silently thinking about countermeasures.
After a while, Li Zhi raised his head and asked Cao Cao, "Brother Mengde, do you know who is in charge of these yellow scarves?" Are they the people of one side (the Yellow Turban establishment is called: Fang), or are they made up of several generous and small parties? ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he thought for a while before replying: "The person at the head is Zhang Mancheng, and there are about eighty or ninety thousand people under his command, and the rest of the people are all vassals of other small parties. ”
"That's it!" When Li Zhi heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, but he made up his mind in his heart.
"Oh?" Cao Cao looked at Li Zhi in surprise: "Listen to what Brother Xian said, but are you willing to send troops to help Wancheng?" ”
"Hmm!" Li Zhi nodded and said, "Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about the relationship between you and me, since Brother Meng De came in person, how can I refuse?!" ”
"Good, good! Thank you for my brother! Cao Cao was overjoyed, applauding repeatedly, and was a little excited and didn't know why.
Suddenly, Cao Cao stood up, picked up the teacup, and said to Li Zhi: "Replace wine with tea for my brother, and give a cup to my brother!" Thank you for your help! ”
Seeing that Cao Cao was so excited, Li Zhi also stood up, picked up the teacup, and said to him: "This is a matter within the next division, how dare you say thank you?" You and I drink this cup together, Brother Mengde, please! ”
After speaking, he drank all the tea in the cup.
Cao Cao saw that he was so happy, and he didn't hesitate to drink the tea.
After that, he wiped the corners of his mouth and asked with concern: "I don't know how many people will be used this time?" ”
When Li Zhiyan heard this, he shook his head a little sadly, sighed, and said sadly: "In this rescue of Yang Zhai, the soldiers under his command suffered heavy casualties, and now there are only more than 40,000 people left, and all of them are injured. ”
Cao Cao was anxious when he heard this, and asked urgently: "Then how did the virtuous brother rescue Wancheng this time?" ”
Seeing that Cao Cao was so anxious, Li Zhi pressed his hand on him and reassured: "Brother doesn't have to be so anxious, he already has a way in his heart."
When rescuing Yangzhai County, nearly 100,000 yellow turbans were captured, most of them were young and strong people, and they had all been on the battlefield, and they were an elite soldier with a little tempering!
In this rescue of Wancheng, I want to select 15,000 elites from the soldiers under his command, and then select 35,000 people from the Yellow Turban captives, a total of 50,000 horses, which must be enough to solve the predicament of Wancheng. ”
"Yellow Turban thieves?" Cao Cao frowned and looked at Li Zhi in disbelief, with some hesitation on his face.
After hesitating for a while, Cao Cao spoke: "Are these Yellow Turban people credible?" At that time, don't be in chaos before you rescue Wancheng! ”
Speaking of this, Cao Cao looked at Li Zhi with a worried gaze.
"Hahaha..." Li Zhi heard his worried words, opened the folding fan quite freely, and said confidently: "Brother Meng De, don't worry.
These Yellow Turban thieves turned out to be just a group of poor people, who were forced to join the Yellow Turbans in desperation, and now they are giving them a chance to be new people, how can they not cherish it? How can you do it? ”
As he spoke, Li Zhi folded the fan together, his eyes were sharp, and he knocked his left hand hard with the folded folding fan, and continued murderously: "Besides, the army formed under Xia is based on the Yellow Turban people as soldiers, and the people under his command are the commanders.
In this way, the Yellow Turbans can be divided layer by layer, so that they cannot communicate with each other, and then send people with thousands of cavalry to lead the left and right patrols.
If that group of people really does not change their dead nature, in the absence of contact, even if someone makes trouble, it will not become a climate.
At that time, these few thousand cavalry alone will be able to wipe them out! ”
"Good!" Cao Cao applauded loudly when he heard this......
