Chapter 179. From Mr. Wang to Xiao Wang
This is the main theme of life in the late Han Dynasty, ploughing and fighting!
Farm the fields, harvest enough food, then strike iron to sharpen weapons, go to the neighbor's house to grab land, get new land, and then plow the fields, harvest more food, feed more younger brothers, and continue to fight.
In May, the army was sent in Xudu, bringing together 5,000 men and horses from Nanyang Zhang Xiu, plus 35,000 troops under the command of Xu Dubafu, 10,000 Hebei soldiers and 5,000 Xuzhou soldiers brought by Gaolan Zhang He's surrender, a total of 55,000 troops, and requisitioned Chen Liu, Yingchuan, Chen Guo and other counties who had just finished spring ploughing 120,000 strong, the army marched north, forcibly crossed the Yellow River, this time the strategic target was the Yellow River crossing Cangting.
There, Yuan Shao once again gathered the soldiers of Youzhou in Jizhou, and there were 200,000 soldiers and civilians together, which greatly threatened the security of the Central Plains.
This time, Cao Cao's strategic plan was to defeat this Hebei main force and lay a bridgehead for the battle for Jizhou.
It's just that Wang Hou is destined to have no chance to participate in this big war, as the army marches northward at the same time, a team of only 3,000 people inconspicuously also left Xudu, with more than 100 carriages and more than 1,000 oxen, dragging their families and migrating eastward.
Needless to say, this is Wang Hou's team!
This time his troops also added some new members, walking, wearing felt hats at the front, wearing leather robes under the armor, some people also looked very different from the Central Plains, a total of more than 200 elite wolf cavalry in Bingzhou led by Zhonglang General, Yanting Marquis Zhang Liao.
In the Battle of the White Horse, Wang Hou and Zhang Liao cooperated quite well, and Cao Cao transferred him to Wang Hou's command.
And then there is Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, who is on the opposite side of his carriage, with an old face like a bitter melon.
If you really want to talk about the old turtle, in fact, Jia Xu even surpassed Sima Yi, he came back from the late Han Dynasty when Dong Zhuo was in chaos, he is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, he is a veteran of the Three Kingdoms who has gone through the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Wei, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and even in the later period, he also climbed to the position of one of the three princes, which shows that he can mix.
Especially since this guy is not from a big family, he can have these achievements all because of his talent!
It's just that Jia Xu's old guy's attitude towards things is also oily enough, he always puts himself in a relatively low position, and remains neutral as a lonely minister, none of you gang up Lao Tzu participates, Cao Pi Daihan He does not object, Sima Yan Daiwei He still does not come out, no matter who is in the head, just do things silently.
He didn't have much kindness in helping Wang Hou, and now the Xudu court is the head of the Yingchuan faction, and Wang Hou belongs to the foreign forces in Bingzhou, showing favor to Wang Hou, and everyone is fortunate to report to the group under the pressure of the Yingchuan faction to keep warm.
However, his pretending neutrality plan was broken by Wang Hou's big mouth, and the last time, in front of Cao Cao, Wang Hou specially proposed that this strategy was mentioned to me by Mr. Jia Xu Jia Wenhe! first put himself and Jia Xu on the bridge in front of Cao Cao, this time it was simply tied up completely, as soon as Cao Cao changed his job, Wang Hou immediately recommended Jia Xu as his deputy to drive, so pulling, even if Jia Xu didn't want to be a party and faction with him, he was also a state faction in front of outsiders.
It's no wonder that this guy is like Reverse Tooth, sitting opposite Wang Hou and grinning.
There is another one that makes Wang Hou more happy, he actually abducted another soft-shelled turtle essence, Sima Yi!
Don't say it, in fact, Wang Hou really demonized this guy! Don't look at Sima Yi at this time, he is three or four years older than himself, and he is also well-known in the family, but in terms of official position, he is just a small literary rafter with a rank of 400 stones! Xu Du is such an official, a basin of foot-washing water can be poured out to seven or eight, and Cao Cao has to recruit him to be an official, not because he is so talented, but just for his reputation, you Hanoi county scholars also have people in the court as officials! You can rest assured that you can work for someone Cao!
Even when Wang Hou proposed to take Sima Yi with him, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then he sounded who this goods were, and he directly nodded and agreed without care, this goods have been messing around in Xu Du recently, in Cao Cao's opinion, there is no value in the carriage from Wang Hou!
Looking at this thing and still not knowing his tragic fate, not far away stepping on the stirrup and looking around with interest in a large number of scenes, the corners of Wang Hou's mouth couldn't help but show a gloomy sneer, this old thief is not allowed to be rounded and flattened!
When he crossed the Yellow River for a while, the sack put him on and threw him into the river to feed the soft-shelled turtles? Or wait until you get to the place, find the moon and the dark wind and high night, or bury this guy in a sack?
"The lord is smiling, hasn't he already thought of a starting strategy?"
"Forehead ......"
Suddenly, a voice interrupted Wang Hou's gloomy smugness
Jia Xu, this old guy is also single, since he is on Wang Hou's thief ship, he is not hypocritical, and he is directly called the lord, although this word is not like in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", only Liu Bei, Sun Quan and other big tycoons are worthy, as long as it is the head of a big family, he can be called the lord, but he is a scholar with a foreign surname and calls Wang Hou the lord, and obviously like Zhao Yun, he recognized Wang Hou's leadership position.
But his question was a tooth that made Wang Hou can't help but be sad, and he didn't make a move, and it was really a big problem for Cao Cao to give him this new appointment.
Cao Cao did promote Wang Hou! And it's not an ordinary official, Qingzhou Mu!
Note that this is the state pastor, not the history of thorns! Although the governing unit is the same, the state pastor is far more powerful than the assassin who obeys the imperial court, and is equivalent to the princes of the divided side! Just like Mr. Cao himself, the prime minister and the leader of Yanzhou Mu, Yuan Shao himself is the self-leading Jizhou Mu, although his Qingzhou Mu is not comparable to the previous two bigwigs, but he can be compared with the current Yuzhou Mu Liu Bei!
However, the reason why such a big right is given, but also because the problem that needs to be faced is not more or less difficult than forcing the rooster to lay eggs, Qingzhou is not in the hands of Cao Cao, but one of the four northern states of Yuan Shao, led by Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi, Cao Cao is the only one who has contact with Qingzhou, Taishan County, the four major thieves in the late Han Dynasty The Taishan thieves once served under Lu Bu, and when they captured Xuzhou Lu Bu, the Taishan thief leader Zang Ba also handsome Taishan returned to the people, and Cao Cao sealed a bunch of Taishan thieves as the county guard assassin history.
really directly belongs to Cao Cao's forces, the entire Qingzhou has not yet had a single soldier for the time being, and even Wang Hou does not even have a place to settle in Qingzhou, when he was in Dongjun, he was the president of Wang, and when he arrived here, he became a little king in an instant!
"A starting point? First go to Guangling, Xuzhou to find my brother Chen Deng, ask him to borrow some grain and weapons, and then recruit thousands of Danyang soldiers, and try it from the East China Sea to the north! ”
If you want to open the side road in the big battle with Yuan Shao, Qingzhou is indeed a breakthrough, but in addition to a letter of appointment from Qingzhou Mu, Cao Cao gave him a total of Jia Xu and Zhang Liao with two hundred wolf riders, the difficulty of this start is simply hell, Wang Hou said with a little dejected.
said that he knew that after hearing his words, Jia Xu shook his head heavily because he hated iron and steel.
"Lord, Wen He thinks that the first stop is to go to Taishan County! The first person must first visit General Zangba, Taishan Kui! ”
