Chapter Thirty-Six: Zhan Huaxiong
After the princes of this group in the south had introduced each other to each other, Cao Cao immediately arranged for everyone to sit down, and then began to state the military situation.
Cao Cao Yanming has gotten the news that Dong Zhuo sent two troops and horses to come, one is the Xiliang Army Governor Huaxiong led the cavalry of 50,000, the soldiers out of Xingyang to borrow Songshan, straight to Yangren City to kill, and the other way of soldiers and horses, is led by Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong led 20,000 troops and horses, detour to Changshe, to take Yangzhai, the capital of Yingchuan, cut off the way home.
After hearing this, Kong Ling's face turned pale and her speech was a little trembling: "I didn't expect Dong Zhuo to attach so much importance to our partial division, and he actually sent two soldiers and horses to come, and there were tens of thousands of people...... Even the Metropolitan Governor Huaxiong came in person, and it seems that this battle is not easy to fight. ”
Sun Jian snorted, his face showed disdain, and said: "If you are afraid, just go back, why bother to talk such nonsense here to affect the morale of our army!" ”
Kong Ling's face suddenly turned red.
wanted to refute Sun Jian a few words, but he hesitated for a moment when the words came to his mouth and still didn't dare to say it, just muttered in his mouth.
The potter couldn't help but shake his head...... That's too bad.
Cao Cao smiled and became a peacemaker: "Everyone is an ally, why bother to be more serious for three or two sentences?" Since the other party has sent two lines of soldiers and horses, we might as well divide the troops into two ways, among all the people, the military horses under the command of Wentai are the strongest! Cao wanted to invite Wentai to lead the army to fight Huaxiong, and I waited for a few soldiers, so I went to fight Xu Rong together, I don't know what Wentai wanted? ”
Hua Xiong is the governor of Dong Zhuo's account, and before Lu Bu led the Bingzhou army to surrender to Cheng, he was regarded as the number one fierce general under Dong Zhuo, and Sun Jian had already intended to meet him for a while!
Sun Jian was about to agree, but saw the potter suddenly stand up and said: "Use a cattle slaughtering knife to kill chickens, Sun Fujun is a pillar in the coalition army!" How can you easily show your strength? In the future, to deal with Dong Zhuo's main force, Sun Fujun will need to make great efforts...... Brother Meng De, I think it's better for Sun Fujun to fight Xu Rong, let's go to fight Huaxiong a few ways! ”
Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this, he didn't understand what kind of routine the potter was, and he actually took the initiative to pick hard bones to gnaw!
Sun Jian looked disdainful.
When he first met the potter, although he praised him for being sensible, it was just a joke on the spot, and he didn't take the potter's yellow-mouthed son too seriously in his heart.
At this moment, seeing that the potter was ashamed to go to fight Huaxiong, he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, this kid wants to make meritorious contributions and become famous, and wants to go crazy?
Among all the people, only Cao Cao privately knew that the potter was not an idle person, but he didn't know his intentions at the moment.
Cao Cao looked at the potter hesitantly, but saw that the potter was also looking straight at him...... The boy's eyes kept blinking at him, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes.
Almost instantly, Cao Cao made a quick decision, without dragging his feet in the slightest...... He decided to trust the potter once.
"It's okay, since that's the case, I'll wait to stop Huaxiong in Yangren City, Wentai will lead the troops to break Xu Rong, and after Xu Rong is broken, I'll go back to help me and others."
When Kong Ling heard this, he was immediately frightened and sweated profusely, and greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the pottery merchant and Cao Cao in his heart.
Kong Ling secretly said that the potter has many mouths and tongues, and Cao Cao is stupid! Hua Xiong is the general of Dong Zhuojun, with more soldiers and horses than Xu Rong, and his reputation is greater than Xu Rong! and Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger, are opponents in chess, wouldn't it be good for them to fight to the death? And that Xu Rong is not famous, he is a nobody, and it stands to reason that he is not much easier to deal with than Hua Xiong?
In addition to Sun Jian in the tent, the remaining people are not enough for Hua Xiong to plug his teeth, how can this battle be fought?
"That...... General Cao, we have four ways of men, if we only let General Sun go all the way to fight Xu Rong, it will be a little ...... It's not fair, right? Kong Ling asked tentatively.
Cao Cao frowned: "What does the history of the hole stab mean by this?" ”
"Although there are few soldiers under Kong's command, I am afraid that General Sun will be ...... Why don't I go with General Sun and assist General Sun in defeating Xu Rong together, so that General Sun won't be able to support it alone......"
When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help sneering in his heart.
Among the princes in the south, Sun Jian had 30,000 troops in Jiangdong, Cao Cao had 5,000 horses, Kong Ling had 10,000 horses, Taoshang had Xuzhou Army plus a new army of 10,000 horses, and Liu Bei had 5,000 partial divisions lent to him by Gongsun Zhan...... Split in twos and twos, it is just fair for Sun Jian to have an army alone.
But Kong Ling, an old boy who was greedy for life and afraid of death, shamelessly wanted to seek protection from Sun Jian, and took the initiative to ask to follow Sun Jian all the way! Wouldn't this suddenly break the balance of the number of soldiers and horses on both sides?
Although Cao Cao wanted to scold him twice...... But in front of many people, he finally maintained his self-cultivation and forcibly suppressed his anger.
"Since Kong Tingshi took the initiative to ask for help, how could Cao not follow it...... I don't know which other people want to go to Sun Wentai's way, although they put it forward, Cao Mou has nothing to do. ”
As soon as these words came out, Kong Ling's face suddenly turned red again.
As a prince all the way, he was squeezed by Cao Cao so much, and his face was lost to his grandmother's house.
Sun Jian squinted at Kong Ling, his expression extremely contemptuous.
Liu Bei smiled slightly: "General Sun is brave and brave, and he is responsible for a great task, so I won't go to trouble General Sun." ”
Cao Cao turned to the potter, only to see that he also shook his head.
"Okay." Cao Cao stood up and said: "Since this is the case, I will bother General Sun and Kong Tingshi to return to the camp, order the soldiers and horses, and go to block Xu Rong. ”
Sun Jian bowed his hand and left, ignoring Kong Ling.
Kong Ling knew that she was at a loss, and she was embarrassed to continue to stay in the tent, and after saying a few words, she left in a hurry, leaving only Cao, Liu, Tao and a few others in the tent.
Cao Cao looked at the backs of Sun Jian and Kong Ling leaving, sighed, and said: "More than ten princes, if they work together and abandon their selfishness, how can Dong Zhuo's old thief be cunning and difficult?" It's a pity...... Alas! ”
Cao Cao's words were heavy and moving.
Although the potter is young, he can be regarded as a mixture in the body/system in his previous life, and he is quite insightful about human feelings, and he can still hear whether a person is sincere or not.
The current Cao Cao is indeed dedicated to the country.
Over there, Liu Bei said: "People in the world are really human nature, which is understandable...... However, although Bei is not talented, as a descendant of the Han family, he is determined to serve the country and take it as his mission to eradicate traitors! If Cao Gong does not give up, he will be the first to drive, and after the saddle and horse, he will swear to destroy the national thief! ”
Liu Bei said all this, and the potter could not pretend to be stupid, and said with a smile: "Although the potter is young, he also knows how to write the word loyalty, and he and the two of them advance and retreat together." ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he nodded appreciatively: "I have heard the name of Tao Gongzu in Xuzhou for a long time, and when I see Tao Gongzi today, I really deserve to be the queen of everyone's famous family...... The wind of a true gentleman! ”
Gentleman's Style...... As soon as these four words were spoken, the potter's face was a little panicked for some reason.
I can't afford this evaluation now...... Do you want to deny it to Liu Bei?
"The boy has been studying Confucianism since he was a child, taking etiquette, music, benevolence and righteousness as the principle of life, and abiding by the way of a gentleman. Today, he was praised by Xuande Gong's 'gentleman', and the kid was very pleased. ”
Forget it, don't deny it, it's not that you covet this false name, it's just that you don't admit to sweeping Liu Bei's face.
Suddenly, Cao Cao said: "Brother Tao, if Cao Mou didn't say you, Cao arranged for Sun Jian to fight Huaxiong, and I waited to stop Xu Rong...... In fact, it is because Sun Jianjian is quite strong, but he has the strength to fight with Huaxiong, it is definitely not Cao Mou's shirking of responsibility, but why did you signal Cao Mou to change his opponent in a big way? ”
The potter secretly said that you only saw the surface...... If in the later life, you knew Xu Rong's achievements, you would not look down on this person so much......
Although Hua Xiong was Dong Zhuo's governor, in later generations, he still died at the hands of Sun Jian...... However, Xu Rong recorded in the history books was undefeated in the face of all the princes, as the broken rear army first defeated Cao Cao and Zhang Miao, and then defeated Sun Jian head-on, and then captured Li Min alive, all of which happened continuously for several months, and the record was extremely amazing.
Others don't care for the time being, but Xu Rong can defeat Sun Jian and Cao Cao, which is very remarkable!
Although the current Cao Cao is not Emperor Wu of Wei who fought in the south and north for many years, Sun Jian is a fierce tiger in Jiangdong that has attracted the attention of the world...... Xu Rong is a native of Liaodong, not Dong Zhuo's direct henchmen of Liangzhou, and has always served as a false position as a lieutenant general, so he will not command too many soldiers and horses, but he can still have this record, and his talent is definitely not comparable to Huaxiong......
If you really want to compare him to Hua Xiong, the potter thinks that Xu Rong is a real hard bone.
The potter has never been subjective about people and things, and he has the thinking principles of later generations...... All facts speak in numbers.
According to the market of later generations, Xu Rong's data is higher than that of Huaxiong.
But the pottery merchant couldn't tell Cao Cao and Liu Bei about this.
He thought about it for a long time and devised various reasons, but found that none of them could be used to deceive Cao Cao and Liu Bei...... If someone else is changed, the potter may be able to deal with the past, but the two in front of him are the famous 'Only Envoy Jun and Cao'er!' ’
Who is the opponent of the heroes of the world? Cao Liu! …… These two people, don't be fooled.
After thinking about it, there was no good reason to prevaricate the two, and the potter had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Don't hide it from Brother Meng De, although Hua Xiong is a fierce general under Dong Zhuo's account, he is a brave man after all, a fierce general is not a good general, and it is good to answer correctly...... That Xu Rong is a general who is good at using soldiers, and he is by no means idle, so we must not despise him. ”
Cao Cao and Liu Bei exchanged a look in surprise, and behind Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei showed disdain.
Liu Bei said curiously: "Master Tao, Xu Rong is just a Zhonglang general under Dong Zhuo's account...... His reputation is not very significant, how do you know that he is a general? ”
"This ......" The potter hesitated for a long time before he whispered: "I said that I was born with a different species, can I pinch it, can Xuande be trustworthy?" ”
Liu Bei's smile was still so warm: "I believe it." ”
The potter's smile stiffened a little...... This person is too vain.
"Xuande Gong...... Sincerely. ”
Liu Bei replied sincerely: "Master Tao...... What a humor. ”
"Alright!" Cao Cao couldn't stand it when he heard it on the sidelines, and said, "Don't praise each other!" Cao had goosebumps and fell to the ground! It's already happened, and it's no good to say more! The top priority is to find a way to break Huaxiong? ”
Broke Huaxiong...... The word he used ......
The potter's face turned red and coughed to hide his embarrassment.
Liu Bei turned his head, looked at Cao Cao and said, "According to General Cao's opinion, how should we resist the enemy?" ”
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said: "The scout has come to report, there are 50,000 people under Huaxiong's command, if we want to resist the enemy, we should at least find a city to defend it...... According to Cao's view, he simply set up the soldiers and horses in Yangren County, used the city as a barrier, waited and watched the changes, and then made a decision. ”
Liu Bei nodded and said that there was no objection, and the pottery merchant said: "It is true that most of the military horses will be stationed in Yangren County, but we should also leave a little backhand, and the two of them can each select an elite, and the number of people is not large, just secretly camp in the suburbs outside Yangren City to ambush and wait for the military order...... One can become the so-called horn trend with the city army, and the other can be regarded as a miracle army! ”
Cao Cao nodded and exclaimed: "Brother Tao's words are quite conspiratorial, very appropriate, just do it!" Let me wait and see what Na Huaxiong is capable of. ”
