Chapter 209: Yan Linghou, it's time for you to play
When Xu Huang saw Cao Zhang, he almost took down the axe on the side.
Of course he knows Cao Zhang, or the entire Cao Ying, there are very few people who don't know Cao Zhang, this Cao family's bear and tiger general, Cao Zhang, who is called "Yellow Whisker", everyone else is tearing tigers and leopards alive to prove his bravery, he is subduing tigers and leopards to prove that he can fight.
"Why did Yan Linghou come here!" Xu Huang's eyes narrowed, and he silently moved in the direction of the big axe on his side, and there was a big sense of disagreement, so we would draw our swords and face each other.
Xu Huang can act like this, not because Xu Huang and Cao Zhang have a deep hatred, nor because Xu Huang has done anything wrong, but because Xu Huang doesn't want to have anything to do with Cao Zhang.
In other words, the entire Cao Ying, as long as they are not stupid, no one wants to have anything to do with this person, and everyone lives well, isn't it good? Do you have to find any excitement here in Cao Zhang?
Cao Zhang looked at Xu Huang like this, and he was also amused with a little helplessness, he really didn't know what his father and brother had done to make a general who was once so unruly become so cautious.
"Gongming, you and I have known each other for many years, if a certain family wants to harm you, you can't live now!" Cao Zhang chuckled, wanting to appease Xu Huang, "Of course, if the eldest brother really doesn't trust you, don't say that you are fighting with a certain family, even if you cut off the head of a certain family, it will be useless in the eldest brother!" ”
Cao Zhang chuckled and walked to the main seat, then shook the kettle in his hand, consciously poured himself a bowl of cold water, and then drank it by himself.
"Sit down, if you don't feel at ease, just hold the big axe in your hand, anyway, for a certain family, it makes no difference whether you take that thing or not!" Cao Zhang looked at Xu Huang, who was still unmoved, and shook his head helplessly, with a look of pity.
Xu Huang finally hesitated for a long time, but still chose to sit opposite Cao Zhang.
Although what Cao Zhang said just now was a little ugly, what he said did make sense.
If Cao Zhang wants to kill him, whether he has that big axe or not, in fact, it is not a big problem, Xu Huang was also a member of the bear and tiger general, but Xu Huang is old, and now he is relying on his experience in a hundred battles to be able to bully and bully those newcomers.
As for Cao Zhang... If Cao Zhang is willing, no one in the world dares to say that he can defeat Cao Zhang, that is, Xu Chu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Ma Chao can barely say that they are above him.
As for Xu Huang, he didn't dare to say such an easy thing to beat.
"Yan Linghou!" Xu Huang arched his hand towards Cao Zhang, and reluctantly showed a smile, "You came to the old man this big night, what is the matter, you just say." ”
"It's nothing, it's just chatting!" Cao Zhang raised the water glass in his hand and said with a smile, "The main thing is that I haven't seen General Xu Huang for too long, and since I have this opportunity today, I naturally want to talk with the general at night, so I can just have a good chat!" ”
Xu Huang didn't know what this guy wanted to do, but he knew that for Cao Zhang, he couldn't beat him, and he couldn't afford to make trouble, so he could only let him continue.
"General Xu Huang, a certain family wants to know, what are you worried about?" Cao Pi gently reassured the water cup in his hand, "At first, a certain family thought that you couldn't get the promotion you wanted because of your great achievements, and it became a little low, but now, a certain family is on you, and you feel the horror, what are you worried about?" ”
Xu Huang looked at Cao Zhang, pursed his lips, did not speak, did not answer his question, just closed his mouth and looked at Cao Zhang silently.
"Gongming, do you really plan to live like this for the rest of your life?" Cao Zhang saw Xu Huang's silence, and he didn't feel the slightest annoyance.
"Xu Huang has gray hair now, and he can't live for a few years even if he survives, so why struggle more!"
This time, Xu Huang did not continue to be silent, but sighed softly.
"Marquis Yan Ling, the old man knows that you don't plan to harm the old man, but Xu Huang is really old, and he really can't move!"
Xu Huang's tone was very tired, as if he was really a dying old man who couldn't hold on.
"Gongming, did you think of General Lejin?" Cao Zhang looked at Xu Huang, who didn't want to continue, and seemed to have found the crux of his problem.
Le Jin, like Xu Huang, is known as the general of the five foreign surnames of the Cao family!
At the same time, Le Jin, like Xu Huang, is a right general!
Back then, Lejin was also known as the crazy tiger of the Cao family, not to mention the heroic and good fight, every battle must be the vanguard, as long as Lejin exists, he must be the one who charges the most.
From the Xingping period, Yu Puyang attacked Lu Bu, crusaded against Zhang Chao in Yongqiu, and fought Yuan Shu with a bitter smile.
Along the way, he has accumulated great feats and made a great name!
After that, the Cao family and the Yuan family clashed in Guandu, and Lejin at this time almost reached his peak.
Beheaded Yuan Shao's general Chun Yuqiong. He also attacked Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang in Liyang, and beheaded his general Yan Jing. Soon, Le Jin didn't attack the Yellow Turban, Yongnu, and Guan Cheng, and defeated or even killed them!
It can be said that Le Jin at this time is the first brave general under Cao Cao!
The first person to charge into battle, even Zhang Liao and the others surrendered, and they couldn't shake his position!
Just when everyone felt that Lejin should rise slowly and finally defend one side.
Cao Cao has changed his mind!
He didn't continue to reuse Lejin, and changed to Zhang Liao, the general who surrendered to him not long ago!
From the conquest of Yuan Shao, to the military dispatch to Jizhou, and finally the expedition to Wuhuan.
One by one, Zhang Liao joined in it, and Zhang Liao at that time could also be said to be constantly promoted!
In the end, Zhang Liao, Le Jin and others, as well as Wen Ping and other generals who surrendered to Cao Cao, were all left in Jingzhou.
At that time, Lejin was famous, although Zhang Liao liked Cao Cao, but the people who were really in charge in Jingzhou were Lejin and Wenpin!
At that time, even Cao Ren didn't dare to plunder its edge!
And Lejin's record in Jingzhou is also quite brilliant!
After Liu Bei entered Sichuan, he handed over the military and political power of Jingzhou to Guan Yu and others, and at the same time arranged many officials for Jingzhou!
But these people finally let Lejin liquidate!
Linfu Chang Dupu, Jingyang Changliang Da, these two Liu Bei stayed behind to protect the two stone lions in Jingzhou!
didn't even play the role of a warning, so they were cleaned up by Le Jin, and by the way, the barbarians in the valleys of the southern counties who had just surrendered to Liu Bei immediately turned their horses' heads and begged the Cao family to take them in!
That's not enough!
Guan Yu, who almost beat Cao Ren to death in the back, had a big battle with Lejin in Qingnikou!
Then he was hammered back by the combination of Lejin Gavinchin!
Guan Yu, who was so desperate, had to withdraw the army to Xunkou and set up camp again.
Although there was no big victory this time, Lejin still contained Guan Yu's momentum!
It can be said that if there were no two people, Le Jin and Wen Ping, relying on Cao Ren alone, he would not dare to fight against Guan Yu!
But such a heroic Lejin is not very good in the second half of his life.
As the general of the Cao clan who has won a hundred battles, he should have become famous from now on, and he should have been above ten thousand people from now on!
But he didn't!
In the nineteenth year of Jian'an, Le Jin followed the first king to conquer Jiangdong, and he was still on a rampage, and he still made many contributions!
But in the end he was given the right to a fake festival!
And left him in the land of Jianghuai, although he was on a par with the general Zhang Liao, but Le Jin knew that here, Zhang Liao was the main general!
In the twentieth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao went to Hanzhong, and then Sun Quan took the opportunity to organize an army of 100,000 to go to Hefei!
Zhang Liao became famous in this battle!
This battle also made Lejin completely see his position in Cao Cao's heart, which made him completely disappointed!
When Sun Quan's army arrived, Le Jin and the others were a little scared.
After all, the difference in strength is too great, and even Zhang Liao, who has always said that he is full of confidence, will inevitably feel a little uneasy.
But the strategy that Cao Cao left them was very simple!
Zhang Liao and Li Dian led their troops out of the city to fight with Sun Quan, leaving Le Jin to defend the city!
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this, and it makes sense to do so.
But there is a big problem with the three of them!
When Zhang Liao was still a general of Lu Bu, he didn't make trouble for Cao Cao, and he didn't do less things like killing generals and capturing the flag!
One of the most terrifying ones was that Li Dian's entire family was almost killed!
In the Battle of Yanzhou, Li Dian was just a small school captain.
The commanders of the army are his uncle Li Gan and his brother Li Quan!
But in the first battle of Yanzhou, Zhang Liao first killed Li Dian's uncle Li Gan!
Then he fought with Li for a few days!
Although Li Quan survived in the end, because he was seriously injured, he abandoned martial arts and officially sent Li Dian up!
Although it is said that the real enemies of Li Gan and Li Quan are Xue Lan and Li Feng, who have turned to ashes.
But everyone knows that Zhang Liao's participation in these things will definitely not run!
And Lejin also saw from this order that he was not untrusted!
He is just a talisman left by Cao Cao to Zhang Liao!
Le Jin didn't know why he was inferior to Zhang Liao in Cao Cao's heart, but he knew that since it was already like this, there was no need for him to work hard.
In the next three years, Lejin no longer shouted every day to charge into battle and set foot in Jiangdong.
In the next three years, Lejin began to cultivate his self-cultivation and no longer participated too much in Hefei.
handed over the power directly, and planned to retreat at home.
It's just that Lejin, who no longer shouts about going to the battlefield, finally died of illness in Jian'an for twenty-three years!
In the last three years, he was promoted to the rank of right general and gave one of his sons a knighthood.
He was rewarded with many, many rewards, but he didn't get what he wanted most!
Continue to be a master and go into battle to kill the enemy!
Even if it can only be the Cao family's front-of-battle general in the end, it can be the vanguard of the war!
But he didn't do anything in the end, he didn't succeed in anything!
He was so silent and died in Hefei!
After Le Jin died, he got the title and nickname of "Wei Hou"!
However, Lejin didn't like this at all!
And now, Xu Huang is obviously very disliked by this matter!
Xu Huang, like Le Jin, is now the right general, and he seems to be the most noble, but being in a high position and being a deputy general is a difficult thing to accept.
At the beginning, Lejin fought on the battlefield without defeat, and now Xu Huang is killing and fighting, and he has more wins and fewer defeats, whether it is Ma Chao, Guan Yu or Jiangdong rats, or those bandits and horse bandits, or the small princes of one side, they have all turned into a laughing stock under Xu Huang's big axe.
It stands to reason that this kind of qualifications, this ability, no matter who it is, no matter who is the master, it is necessary to appease Xu Huang well.
But now, Xu Huang didn't experience this feeling, when he conquered Wuhuan, Zhang Liao was the general at the front, Cao Gong was personally in charge of the Chinese army, and Xu Huang was the deputy general of the front general Zhang Liao.
In the end, Cao Gong, who was in charge of the Chinese army, had not yet arrived at the place, Zhang Liao came back with a collapsed head, and everyone said that Zhang Liao was a well-known man, Zhang Liao was a famous general in ancient times, and even Cao Gong said that Zhang Liao was his summoning tiger!
Who is Zhaohu, that is the mainstay of King Zhongxing of Zhou Xuan, that is praised by the world "Jianghan Zhihu, the king ordered to summon the tiger: the style is open to the Quartet, through my territory!" ”
What an honor this is, Xu Huang looked at himself again, and was praised by Cao Cao for his rigorous management of the army and the style of Zhou Yafu.
It seems that he is also a famous general of the Han Dynasty and has the merit of pacifying civil strife, but Zhou Yafu is most famous for assessing civil strife? Zhou Yafu is most famous for disrespecting the emperor, and in the end he was slandered as a rebellion!
At the beginning, in order to defeat Guan Yu, Xu Huang really didn't care about Cao Ren's existence, but also in order to train his soldiers, he used the training method of Zhou Yafu's Xiliu Battalion back then, so that they could only listen to the orders of one person, so as to increase their combat effectiveness.
But he forgot that the Xiliu Camp was because he only listened to the orders of one person, and finally made the Han Emperor feel that he could not control it, which laid the groundwork for Zhou Yafu's demise.
And now, Xu Huang is also going the same way as him, when Cao Cao patrolled the camp and came to Xu Huang's command, he was also stopped, stopped by the soldiers, and stopped by the soldiers outside the camp.
In the end, Cao Cao's evaluation was that he had the style of Zhou Yafu, Xu Huang didn't take it seriously at first, and felt that this was a compliment to himself, until his son Xu Zhen asked softly, if it is about leading troops to train the army, shouldn't it be the first to recommend Wu Qi?
This sentence made Xu Huang wake up like a dream, Zhou Yafu, although Hanchen, was actually rebellious, and in the end he did not die well, this is Cao Cao's evaluation of Xu Huang.
Xu Huang doesn't want to say whether he is Han Chen or Cao Chen, this makes no difference to him, he is a general who leads troops to fight, he is not a cat or a dog, nor is he one of those elegant and sour Confucians who only knows how to talk clearly, he only knows how to obey orders.
But Xu Huang's right general is still divided into the name of the Han family!
Since then, Xu Huang has known that he was wrong, and he also knows where he was wrong, he is no longer full of rebelliousness, he takes it quietly, no matter what order he gets, he will not hesitate to carry it out.
He only hopes that he can be like Lejin and get a good death in the end, as for whether his good end is sick or how, he doesn't care, he just hopes that he won't be like Zhou Yafu, and finally end up with a dead end.
Cao Zhang looked at Xu Huang here, watching his face change back and forth, looking at Xu Huang's face gloomy and uncertain, and in the end, there was only a leisurely sigh left.
Cao Zhang is not stupid, when he sees Xu Huang's appearance, he knows what Xu Huang's situation is, Cao Zhang knows that he guessed correctly, Xu Huang is because of this right general, he thinks of Lejin, and maybe because of Zhou Yafu, he has contacted some not very good things.
To be honest, when Xu Huang got the title of Zhou Yafu, Cao Zhang also frowned a little, because Xu Huang and Zhou Yafu had an essential difference.
Zhou Yafu, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, a famous minister of the ancients, but he was unruly and could not die well, this evaluation is not a good evaluation.
The words that came out of Cao Cao's mouth couldn't just be listened to on the surface, something would happen.
In the end, Cao Zhang also shook his head with a wry smile, and then picked up a pottery bowl and put it in front of Xu Huang, "You are not allowed to drink alcohol in the army, let's drink water, it seems that General Xu Huang's mind is already known to a certain family!" ”
Xu Huang didn't feel the slightest surprise, Yan Linghou Cao Zhang was originally a child with abnormal intelligence, but his bravery was too shining, covering his intelligence, but he was a general outside all the year round, commanding the Quartet, and rarely defeated, how could this kind of person be a reckless man.
But even if Cao Zhang saw it, Xu Huang didn't think that he was a down-and-out Yan Linghou, who had no power and power, and could help him.
Cao Zhang looked at Xu Huang, who was still silent, and had no choice but to take out something from his arms.
"These are the two letters I once sent to my father, and one of his replies, I know you may not believe it after reading it, but you should at least read it first."
Saying this, Cao Zhang handed the letter in his hand to Xu Huang, and then showed a smile, "I believe that I have asked you about General Xu Huang on the letter, when I heard my father say to you, you have the style of the ancient Zhou Yafu, and a certain family knows that you are in some danger, this person is not a good result."
However, after reading my father's reply, a certain family changed its mind, in fact, a certain family has different expectations for your affairs, or for the general! ”
Xu Huang hesitantly stretched out his hand, took the small wooden box, and took out a few letters from it.
"This is...."
"The eldest brother entrusted it to me." Cao Zhang knew what Xu Huang wanted to ask, "After my father died, these things naturally fell into the hands of the eldest brother, but don't worry, there is nothing in it that is not good for the general!" ”
Xu Huang took out the letter silk inside in disbelief, and then unfolded them one by one.
In the letter, it was indeed as Cao Zhang said, he didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, and even told Cao Gong again and again that he had nothing to do with Xu Huang, but he didn't understand why his father wanted to set a right general for Xu Huang, and why he wanted to tell him how he compared with Zhou Yafu.
After Xu Huang read Cao Zhang's first letter, his hands trembled slightly, he thought he was hiding his heart well, but he didn't expect that it had already been revealed.
"Yan Linghou...."Xu Huang raised his head and looked at Cao Zhang, wanting to ask something, but was stopped by Cao Zhang's raised hand, "Needless to say, keep looking, my father's letter, all the things that General You was worried about, there are answers on it!" ”
After Xu Huang listened, he stretched out his hand to another letter, which was Cao Cao's reply.
After opening the letter, there was only one sentence to see, "Under the command of Lonely, An Neng is not as reckless as Zhou Yafu!" ”
"Lonely? King Wei, the first king said that a certain family is under his command, hahahahahaha! Xu Huang looked at the letter, and after reading it for a long time, he suddenly laughed and suddenly became very happy.
"Under the command of Lonely, the first king has never failed me!" Xu Huang laughed, put all the letters back, then buckled the small wooden box and pushed it back in front of Cao Zhang, "Thank you Yan Linghou for enlightening this idiot of a certain family, thank you Yan Linghou!" ”
After finishing speaking, Xu Huang stood up directly, arched his hand towards Cao Zhang, and bowed deeply to express his gratitude.
"General, don't you want to look at it anymore?" Cao Zhang patted the small wooden box, "There are three letters in it." ”
Xu Huang shook his head, "A certain family has seen what they want to see, and this is enough, too much!" ”
In that case, then so-and-so is gone!
Cao Zhang chuckled and then took the wooden box and prepared to leave.
However, when he was about to leave Xu Huang's tent, he was suddenly stopped by Xu Huang.
"Yan Linghou!" Xu Huang shouted violently, "There is one thing you need to remind General Zhengnan, although I have not heard of Chen Shao's name this time, but this guy can come here with tens of thousands of troops, he will definitely not be an incompetent person, you must be careful about this!" ”
Xu Huang wanted to continue reminding, but Cao Zhang interrupted him again, and told Xu Huang with a smile, "If you want to remind something, then go by yourself, Xiahou Shang, that kid, but he is still waiting for his mentor and friend." ”
After finishing speaking, Cao Zhang covered his face again, and then walked out of the big tent and disappeared into the night, disappearing without a trace.
Xu Huang looked at the empty camp tent, and suddenly felt a disgust that could not be concealed, he didn't know when, this place was so sloppy, he was a person who was very strict with himself, and he actually made his camp tent look like this, it was really ridiculous in the world.
"Someone!" Xu Huang yelled outside the tent, and immediately two guards ran in.
"A certain family is going to see General Zhengnan now, before the old man comes back, the inside and outside of this camp will be cleaned up for me, if the old man comes back and sees a little mess..."
Xu Huang didn't say anything about the consequences, just snorted coldly, and the cold tone made people shudder, but the two pro-soldiers were very happy when they heard it, and promised again and again.
"Okay, you hurry up and pack up, the old man is gone!" After finishing speaking, Xu Huang left the big tent, leaving behind two soldiers who were working in full swing.
In fact, it is normal for these two pro-soldiers to be so happy, the pro-soldiers are changing with the changes of the main general, if the main general is all the way up, then the pro-soldiers can also live more comfortably, and if they have the ability, they can also be reused.
After all, the guard general, although dangerous, is also very safe, there is no wind and waves to worry about, especially with Xu Huang, a victorious general, he is not like Le Jin, as soon as he fights, he rushes forward like not dying.
But anyway, Xu Huang has now regained his confident appearance again, and their group of pro-soldiers are also very happy.
Xu Huang came all the way to the outside of General Zhengnan's tent, perhaps because he was in a bad mood, this time the soldiers he saw were all saluting him with admiration, as if he was a general in their eyes and worthy of affirmation.
"The last general, Xu Huang, ask to see General Zhengnan!" Xu Huang did not let Xiahou Shang's personal soldiers give the order, but shouted loudly by himself, his voice was strong and powerful!
Xiahou Shang, who was already about to fall asleep, quickly sat up when he heard Xu Huang's shout, and then put on a pair of armor as quickly as possible.
"General, please come in!" Xiahou Shang couldn't take care of the previous unpleasantness, and welcomed Xu Huang in with a smile on his face!
Xu Huang looked at Xiahou Shang, who was a little disheveled, and knew that he had just gotten up from the bed.
"I'm sorry to disturb the general's rest!" Xu Huang looked at Xiahou Shang and chuckled, "But it's right to get up now, after all, it's not too early, after a while, the army should act!" ”
Xiahou Shang scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
"A certain family also knew that it had been reorganized for war at this time, but how did it know that it was too sleepy, so it didn't hold on..."
Xiahou Shang kept scratching his head when he spoke, and it could be seen that he was very embarrassed.
As a leading general, all-night preparation and combat should be a common thing.
But today, Xiahou Shang is indeed ashamed, and he feels that he is not physically good at a young age!
"The general is too worried!" Xu Huang didn't care, and said with a smile.
"How difficult it is to fight abroad, this kind of thing is insignificant to outsiders, and the general doesn't have to think about it!
However, the old man came here at this time, but he didn't tell the general about these things, does the general know why the old man is here? ”
Xiahou Shang also eased his mood, knowing that this was about to get down to business.
"It's going to be a big battle to attack Xiangyang City soon, if it weren't for Xiangyang City, I'm afraid General Xu Huang wouldn't have come here!"
"Hahaha, General Zhengnan is really smart, the old man is indeed here to remind the general!"
"General Xu Huang still calls me Boren, a few brothers have always made a certain family respect the old general, if they hear the general's general Zhengnan one by one, I'm afraid that a certain family... Ha ha! ”
Xu Huang waved his hand, "These are not important, the old man is here mainly because he is not at ease!" ”
"General Xu Huang, please speak, the kid listens!"
Xu Huang took a deep breath, then walked over to the largest map in the big tent.
"General, please see, General Cao Ren's idea before was that I would make a feint for them, and then let Cao Ren seize the opportunity to directly attack the city through the tunnel!"
Xiahou Shang listened and nodded continuously, "What General Gongming said is exactly what General Cao Ren meant, but, what's the problem?" ”
"It's okay to look at it, but General Cao Ren is underestimating those people in Jiangdong too much!
Although the Jiangdong family has only been fighting with the pair of brothers of the Sun family all these years, don't underestimate their abilities, they have a lot of means, don't think that what they are revealing now is all they have.
The four families of Jiangdong, who were able to suppress Jiangdong to death at the beginning, are now unable to do it, and they were tortured by the brothers of the Sun family to two people, one yin and one yang, into this virtue, but I have to say that they are still that kind of worm, a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff!
Don't underestimate them, Chen Shao has indeed never heard of this name, but the old man doesn't believe that such a nameless guy can lead the Jiangdong army, you don't have to value yourself too much, and don't underestimate them too much! ”
Xiahou Shang listened to Xu Huang's words, couldn't help but be stunned for a long time, and then stared at the map and said, "What does General Gongming mean that Uncle Cao Ren will fail this time?" ”
"The old man is not sure, but eighty percent will fail!" Xu Huang sighed, "General Cao Ren is also a famous general, but as he gets older, his personality has become more and more conceited, I'm afraid that in the long run, he will cause a big disaster." ”
"Uncle Cao Ren...."Xiahou Shang looked at Xu Huang with a dull expression, not knowing what he should say, "Uncle Cao Ren is a famous general of the Great Wei, and he is now the head of my Cao clan and Xiahou clan, I will figure it out in the future, now, I will solve this matter first." ”
Xu Huang looked at Xiahou Shang and didn't want to say more, and knew that this guy still didn't dare to let go, this kind of thing, Xu Huang also felt that it was excusable.
"Okay, let's not talk about the future of General Cao Ren for the time being, I'll talk about the current matter first, the current thing is the Battle of Xiangyang, if it is really according to the old man's guess, what will happen to me?"
Xu Huang's words hooked Xiahou Shang's thoughts back, and he also looked at the map in front of him anew, and muttered, "The general is right, if General Cao Ren accidentally really fails, then we will fall into passivity, you must know that the gap between us and the Jiangdong army in Xiangyang City is not too big." ”
Xiahou Shang's words are also the official crux of the problem, now Cao Ren looks like he wants to fight to the death with Xiangyang City, and he can't wait to die with those people in Xiangyang City.
If Cao Ren was directly ambushed by the people in Xiangyang City, maybe this hand would be out of place.
However, Xiahou Shang's worries, for a veteran like Xu Huang, these are not problems, and it can even be said that these are all given.
"Yan Linghou appeared in the old man's tent just now, I wonder if the general can contact Yan Linghou?" Xu Huang smiled on his face, and did not clarify the relationship between Cao Zhang and Xiahou Shang, which is also a kind of cleverness on his face.
"Yan Linghou.... It should be no problem! Xiahou Shang smiled awkwardly, and then said softly, "Yan Linghou has been in the camp, and it shouldn't be difficult to contact Yan Linghou... Ha ha! ”
Xu Huang also chuckled, and then continued, "Since this is the case, then the old man will say it bluntly, General Cao Ren's plan is to storm the city wall as a feint, give him a surprise attack on the city as a cover, and then allow him to attack Xiangyang City in one fell swoop!"
But now if General Cao Ren is really calculated by Chen Shao's guy, then we have another plan that can be used, that is, to use General Cao Ren as a feint to create an opportunity for us to directly attack the city wall and win by attacking! ”
"Assault?" After Xiahou Shang heard this word, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva violently, feeling a little incredulous, "General Gongming, do you know what you are talking about, Xiangyang City is the first fortified city in Jingzhou, the city wall is tall, and the Jiangdong tigers of the year have all folded under Xiangyang City!" ”
Xu Huang didn't speak, but continued to chuckle, "This matter depends on Yan Linghou's ability, if Yan Linghou can launch a surprise attack at the right time, I'm afraid he really has a chance to take that place in one fell swoop!" ”
Xiahou Shang still couldn't believe it, he was indeed a general, and it was true that he had fought for many years, but let him be like this, if he wanted to conquer a city in a battle, or Xiangyang City, he was really a little unsure.
"General Komeito, you can be sure!" Xiahou Shang's face was very solemn, "You must know that Yan Linghou's identity is different from ordinary people, if you are not completely sure, once Yan Linghou appears on the battlefield, I am afraid it will cause..."
"Boren!" Just as Xiahou Shang was speaking, a voice came from outside the tent, directly interrupting Xiahou Shang's words, "After being a general for so many years, when have you ever seen a siege battle and can be completely sure." ”
As the words landed, a man in armor walked in from outside.
At this time, Cao Zhang no longer had the casual appearance he had before, perhaps knowing that this was his real last battle, when Cao Zhang put on the heavy armor again and picked up the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, he seemed to feel that he was back again.
returned to the time when the war was raging, back to the time when he was galloping, back to the beginning, when he was stabbing and making the world bow down.
Xiahou Shang saw Cao Zhang's appearance and such oppression, and suddenly became happy, "Third brother..."
Cao Zhang punched Xiahou Shang in the chest, and then said with a chuckle, "You guy, you can't not grow up like this." ”
Xu Huang couldn't help but laugh when he saw Cao Zhang, he was Cao's general, he was naturally no stranger to Cao Zhang, a big man, when Cao Zhang began to learn to fight on the battlefield, Xu Huang and other generals were quite concerned.
Cao Zhang did not disappoint them, that kind of explosive temper, coupled with crazy fighting, is really a rare warrior, once Zhang Liao told them that watching Cao Zhang's son fight, it is a complete enjoyment.
"Yan Linghou, whether we can attack Xiangyang or not is all up to Master Hou!" When Xu Huang said this, he arched his hand towards Cao Zhang, "Yan Linghou thinks that he knows when he will attack, so it is the most appropriate!" ”
"The most dangerous time is the safest time, and when General Cao Ren is defeated, I will have a chance!" A smile appeared on the corner of Cao Zhang's mouth, "When General Cao Ren is besieged, it should be the time when they are most relaxed,"
"Hahaha, Yan Linghou deserves to be a famous general of the Cao family, in one word, in one word!" Xu Huang couldn't help laughing, "It's very easy to talk to Yan Linghou, then the old man and General Zhengnan will cover for Yan Linghou!" ”
"Don't worry!" Cao Zhang smiled and nodded, "Looking at the time, it seems to be about the same." ”
As Cao Zhang's words fell, everyone looked at the sky outside, and it was completely dark.
"yes, it's time, it's almost time!" Xu Huang also said faintly, and then arched his hand towards Xiahou Shang and said, "Please also ask General Zhengnan to give an order, we will attack Xiangyang!" ”
Xiahou Shang looked at Xu Huang, then at Cao Zhang, and then at Cao Zhang, and saw that they were all looking at him gently, and only then did he take a deep breath, walked back to sit down, and then shouted, "Order all the soldiers in the army, gather in the school field, and besiege Xiangyang!" Beat the drums! ”
Xiahou Shang gave an order, and the drums sounded, and the army moved.
At this time, although it is said to be a night attack, but the movement of these tens of thousands of troops, where can be a surprise attack, besieging Xiangyang City, I am afraid that there are less than tens of thousands of people and can not be done, tens of thousands of people move, as long as they are not blind and deaf, no matter how dark the sky is, it can also be found.
"Knock knock!" The three drums sounded, and then the army, under the leadership of their respective generals, slowly walked to the gate of the camp and walked out slowly.
The movement here was more like a chain reaction, Cao Ren's battalion also followed and began to send troops, and the soldiers in Xiangyang City also began to wait for it.
At this time, Chen Shao, the general of the Jiangdong garrison in Xiangyang City, had already come to the city wall, and looked at Cao Jun who was slowly approaching, and his face couldn't help but become a little solemn.
"Cao Jun is pouring out?" Chen Shao led the troops in a decent manner, and did not do anything superfluous, just a board and a glance, which can even be called the template of the military book, "Let the scouts investigate more and tell the other city walls that they must strictly guard the city walls, rotate in three shifts for the time being, and retain enough physical strength!" ”
"No!" A herald turned around and ran after a promise, they followed Chen Shao to pass on various orders to him.
Watching the soldier leave, Chen Shao did not stop but continued, "Tell General Zhang in the city, let him ensure the stability of the city, now the general has already separated Xiangyang City with the thing that ignites the fire, if there is any accident, don't care about anything, control the matter as soon as possible!"
Also, tell General Zhang that if things don't fail, you can use the reserve army, and you can't control the things in the city until you can, Cao Ren is cunning and abnormal, and he especially likes to lead the king into the urn. ”
"No!" After the second herald heard Chen Shao's words, he also ran in the other direction without hesitation.
Chen Shao looked at Cao Jun, who had already come to the city and set up all the siege equipment, and took a deep breath, "Beat the drums, gather the generals!" ”
"No!" This time, it was not one person who promised, but everyone, and the drums in Xiangyang City also sounded, and then the drums burst out, making the huge Xiangyang City also hot.
"Hah!"
"Hah!"
"Hah!"
Xiahou Shang heard the sound of drums in Xiangyang City, and then saw Cao Ren's "Cao" character banner also appear in another direction, looked at the people who were ready, took a deep breath, and then shouted, "Rush up, kill the thief!" ”
Xiahou Shang actually doesn't like night battles, because the light is too poor, it's easy to fight without knowing who is fighting, and it's easy to have some inexplicable problems.
But if Cao Ren wants to raid, if he wants to surprise Xiangyang, I'm afraid it can only be like this, only in this way can they create enough opportunities in the city.
"Kill!" Cao Jun fought very bravely, not to mention the others for the time being, Xu Huang really has a set of training, especially they have also fought in Jingzhou, and Guan Yu, who is famous and intimidating the world, has fought this kind of experience, not everyone can have, they have this qualification, so when they fight, they really don't want to die.
"Kill!" Compared with the Cao army who is not afraid of death, the Jiangdong army in Xiangyang City is not inferior at all, not to mention the others, Chen Shao personally supervised the battle, and the firing squad of all the families was behind the soldiers, holding big swords and sharp axes, which dared to be presumptuous, and they would not be spared.
Chen Shao's ferocity and persistence, as well as Xiahou Shang's ferocity, suddenly made the city of Xiangyang start a war, began to fight and kill, and also began to fight desperately.
And just when the two sides began to fight fiercely, Cao Ren finally found an opportunity.
"Have all the armies in the city already moved?" Cao Ren did not come to the battlefield in person, but in a dense forest outside Xiangyang City, waiting for the continuous return of the scouts, "Now there are no less than tens of thousands of troops in Xiangyang City, you have to inquire!" ”
"General!" After the scout came back, he knelt down directly in front of him, "Just now I have already found out, Xiangyang City has begun to rotate, General Xiahou Shang is very hard, almost with all his strength, all of them pounced, Xiangyang City was disrupted by General Xiahou's onslaught for a while." ”
The scout's words were really not false, Chen Shao in Xiangyang City was really disrupted by Xiahou Shang's onslaught, and almost nothing serious.
In order to be able to produce results, Xiahou Shang can be said to be quite desperate, without any intention of tempting, he just let the army under his command charge, and then he began to rush over.
At this moment, the entire Xiangyang City was a little surprised, Chen Shao is a steady general, looking at his arrangement, you can see that this is a serious general who is full of one-on-one eyes, where has he ever seen such an uneasy guy.
As soon as it came up, it was an all-out attack, and the local generals rushed up, and the main force directly opened the game, which made Chen Shao's face change.
Xiahou Shang took his personal guards to storm the city wall of Xiangyang, which gave him a great shock.
But fortunately, his subordinates are the elite of the Jiangdong family, even if they are disrupted all of a sudden, they can stabilize the situation, after Chen Shao also risked his life to counterattack, Xiahou Shang was helplessly suppressed back, and finally with the help of his subordinates, he went down the city wall.
When Xiahou Shang came back, Xu Huang's eyes changed when he looked at him.
"Is Boren so brave in battle?" Xu Huang's tone was a little weird, as if he was shocked by what he had just done, "It seems that Boren was born in the wrong era, if it was back then, Boren should have a very good relationship with Lejin!" ”
Just now when Xu Huang looked at Xiahou Shang and said that the whole army was pressing, he couldn't believe it, when he saw that his whole army was pressed even himself, this time, Xu Huang was really happy, he found this general Zhengnan or this is very interesting.
Xiahou Shang also knew that he was impulsive just now, and kept scratching his head, "I just saw the city wall of Xiangyang so tall, and I was a little impulsive, but General Gongming can rest assured that a certain family is still very safe in doing things!" ”
Xu Huang just sighed and shook his head at this time, he now understands the distress of Lejin at the beginning, and it is really awkward to be a nurse.
"The army continues to charge, although Chen Shao has reacted now, but it is enough to prove that this guy is a fool who only knows how to read military books!" When Xu Huang spoke, the corners of his mouth brought a hideous sneer, "Although when defending the city, the military book is enough, but fighting a war is not so simple. ”
Xiahou didn't know that Xu Huang looked down on Chen Shao like this, but it didn't matter, he liked Xu Huang's appearance, and this Xu Huang would make him feel a strong sense of security.
"The general's command is that a certain family is only responsible for charging!" Xiahou Shang laughed, then drew his long knife again, and yelled at the guards under his command, "All the soldiers, go with the general to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!" ”
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Looking at Si Swenwen's Xiahou Shang, fighting like this, Xu Huang couldn't help but chuckle, with such a general who conquered the south, it would be difficult to come to Jiangdong.
Chen Shao looked at Cao Jun, who had just been bombarded, and he didn't let himself breathe, so he came up again, which suddenly made him a little scolding.
"Army, defend!" Chen Shao was not a fool either, as soon as he gave the order, a group of soldiers who also felt quite tired like him also stood up with a roar, and then waited in the direction where Cao Jun was rushing to kill.
"Kill!" This time it was Xiahou Shang, personally leading the army, without saying a word, he rushed to the city wall of Xiangyang to kill the past, with Xiahou Shang taking the lead in the charge, it can be said that for this group of guys who came from afar, one by one, it was like drinking chicken blood, morale soared, and the excitement was abnormal.
Chen Shao looked at Cao Jun who was like crazy, spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm, then pulled out the long sword on his waist, stretched out his finger and pointed at the Xiahou Shang not far away, and yelled at the surrounding soldiers, "Shoot this person for me!" ”
The soldiers under his command had been waiting for his order for a long time, but they didn't dare to act recklessly because they couldn't find the general opposite, and after knowing where Xiahou Shang was and knowing that this guy was in a low position in the army, without saying a word, let their group of soldiers start to continue to vent the rain of arrows towards Xiahou Shang.
"Kill! Kill! Xiahou Shang was constantly shouting, letting his soldiers attack the city wall of Xiangyang again and again, but his solicitation here was in full swing, so he hurriedly rushed over, and then he found that he was thrown to the ground by one of his own guards, and then a group of guards were clustered around him.
When Xiahou Shang pushed the man away, he was shocked to find that there were countless arrows on his body, and the young face had no sound yet.
"Just now.... Is it Chen Shao from Xiangyang City? Xiahou Shang muttered, raised his head and looked at the people who bent their bows and arrows again, and suddenly rushed up.
Xiahou Shang removed his helmet, then reached out and grabbed his own big knife, and then rushed in the direction of the city wall, he was going to lead everyone to attack the city wall again.
"General be careful!" The group of guards who followed behind rushed over without saying a word, and they were also going to rescue their general, for fear that something would happen to him.
"Kill!" Xiahou Shang rushed onto the city wall with a tiger roar, and then rushed towards Chen Shao in the distance, wanting to capture the flag once.
Chen Shao has always thought that he is a commander, where is he going to fight with Xiahou Shang, seeing that Xiahou Shang actually rushed over, he also snorted coldly, "The army is encircled!" ”
Chen Shao's hand suddenly made Xiahou Shang angry, he didn't fight with him, and he didn't send any generals to come, but he relied on the large number of soldiers and horses, rushing over in a swarm, making himself tired.
"Rats, rats, rats!" Xiahou Shang was scolded three times by Chen Shao, but it didn't help, he was drowned by Jiangdong's soldiers, although these soldiers would not hurt his life in a short time, but they couldn't hold on.
And now, Xu Huang, who was commanding the battle under the city, had a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Xu Huang also has to admit that this guy, this guy called Chen Shao is a person who has eaten the military book thoroughly, he is very smart and knows when to use what methods.
"Komeito!" Just when Xu Huang showed a smile, Cao Zhang, who was wearing armor and a mask, also came to his side, "Look at your smile, you should see something?" ”
"Of course!" Xu Huang didn't hide it, but stretched out a giant axe and pointed at the city wall that was constantly fighting, "The old man has already seen just now, this guy named Chen Shao is a general taught by a standard school master, but I have to admit that he is very smart and excellent."
If you give him a little more time and some experience, I'm afraid he will also become a famous general, but now, I'm afraid he won't have a chance. ”
"Haha..."Cao Zhang laughed, "A certain family likes a guy like him who can only read, it's easy to fight!" ”
Xu Huang also laughed, "The old man also likes it very much." ”
At the same time, Xu Huang roared loudly and conveyed his second order, "Come on, tell the other city walls, all of them are withdrawn, General Cao Ren doesn't have to worry about it, as long as it is our soldiers, all of them will be withdrawn, and I will storm this city wall!" ”
Xiangyang City is very tall and wide, and as the former seat of Jingzhou, the construction of Xiangyang can be said to be laborious.
Tall and sturdy are the first elements, otherwise it would not have been the turn of Lu Gong to bombard and kill the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Wentai with one stone.
Now, even after all the hardships and tribulations, Xiangyang City is still a giant city that can accommodate 100,000 troops to guard, and nothing has changed.
"Rush!" Xu Huang's order was issued, Chen Shao clearly felt that the pressure on his place had become extremely huge, and after hearing the news from several other city walls, all the soldiers retreated, leaving only the east gate where he was stationed and the north gate where Cao Ren attacked.
"This...."Chen Shao was a little confused at this time, there is indeed a record of this method in the book of war, but it is said that there are two situations, and the truth cannot be determined.
"They're all pulled out?" Chen Shao asked hesitantly, "But don't you stay?" ”
"Back to the general, the Cao army on both sides of the city wall has all retreated, not a single one remains, and there is no movement!" The scout was sure.
Chen Shao pondered for a long time and then said, "It seems that Xu Huang is going to be a virtual and real way!" Pass the order, let them be careful to defend, and never move lightly! ”
At the same time, he looked at Cao Jun, whose attack was even more explosive, and snorted coldly, looking like he had seen through everything.
"Kill!" After Cao Jun came to the bottom of this city wall, he didn't have any rest, and rushed directly to kill, and began to kill without saying a word.
Although the Jiangdong army felt a little difficult, they did not dare to have the slightest messiness in front of their own commanders and those law enforcement teams with bright and sharp axes, and killed them one by one.
However, although the soldiers in Jiangdong are also extremely desperate, if it is really about fighting, it is still Cao Jun who is more heroic and good at fighting.
Looking at the city wall under increasing pressure, and then looking at Xiahou Shang, who had already killed the red eye, Chen Shao did not choose to borrow people from other city walls, but chose to let the reserve soldiers rush up, and some of the men and horses who were rotated in the third shift also rushed up.
Looking at the suddenly increased strength, Xu Huang under the city wall finally cracked his mouth and laughed, "Sure enough, sure enough, hahahaha!" ”
Cao Zhang looked at the strengthened troops, and listened to the fact that there was no sign of moving troops in the other direction, and couldn't help but shake his head, "It's a pity, it's still inexperienced!" ”
If Cao Zhang or Xu Huang defended Xiangyang, the moment the army moved, they would transfer thirty percent of the troops of the other two city walls.
Because this can effectively reduce losses, and at the same time, the two walls of seventy percent of the army are enough to deal with all the problems, and the understanding of the soldiers under their command, the understanding of the generals under their command, and the trust of the soldiers are the minimum quality of a general.
It is clear that Chen Shao has not yet reached this step.
"This kid, not to mention the limit of troops, even if he doesn't know enough about his subordinates! Hahaha" Xu Huang could see that he was in a good mood, and kept laughing, "Tell the soldiers under your command, work harder, don't care about casualties, and force his bottom line out for me!" ”
This is the second key of the general, when it is time to be ruthless, you must be ruthless!
Xu Huang gave an order here, and the attack of the Cao army was fierce again for more than three points, and for a while, the soldiers of the Cao army rushed to the city wall again and again, slashing the Jiangdong army to the ground.
"Rush up and rush Cao Jun down for me!" Chen Shao looked at the front of the continuous fighting, but he didn't have too much panic, he could see that although Cao Jun was brave, his strength had been used to the extreme, and he still had room to continue.
However, under this pressure, after most of the hour, that is, when the night was at its thickest, Chen Shao still sent all the last soldiers and horses in his hands over, rushed to the city wall, and pressed Cao's army back.
This time, even Xiahou Shang felt a little pressure, that is, he had to retreat little by little, although he was not forced out of the city wall, but if he continued to insist, I am afraid he would not be able to change this.
"Rush forward!" Xu Huang snorted coldly, and the army rushed over again, allowing Cao Jun to rush and kill again, but this was useless for the big battle on the city wall.
In the other direction, Cao Ren, who had been waiting for the opportunity, finally waited for what he thought was the perfect opportunity, "Xu Huang, that old guy, really has some skills!" ”
Xu Huang was able to force Xiangyang City to this point, which was really a bit unexpected by Cao Ren, but it didn't matter, what he wanted was this opportunity.
"Pass the order, the army will set off, and attack Xiangyang City by surprise!" Cao Ren gave an order, and the army began to rush into the tunnels and began to rush towards Xiangyang City.
At this time, Xu Huang and the others also got the news of Cao Ren, telling them not to have a problem and continue to rush to kill, Xu Huang, who got the news, looked at the battlefield that had fallen into the scorching battlefield above, and couldn't help but snort coldly, "It seems that the old man guessed no problem!" ”
Cao Zhang also stared at the battlefield above, and then listened to the scouts' continuous returns, and calculated it in his heart.
"The four city walls are only 40,000 horses now, although this number is about the same as what we have discovered, but now the city gate has not moved, and there must be no problem with the inspection in the city, so they Jiangdong this time is not 40,000 horses, at least 50,000 men!"
Although Cao Zhang and Xu Huang had already seen it, neither of them had any intention of telling Cao Ren.
Xu Huang is because it is useless to say it himself, Cao Zhang is because he wants to make his uncle suffer a small loss, hoping that suffering a loss can make him sober up and become the Cao Ren and Cao Zixiao who dominated the world again.
"Poof!" There was a muffled sound, and in a private house in Xiangyang City, a soldier covered in mud crawled out, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and after scanning around, he found that there was no problem, and he couldn't help but chuckle, "No one, safe!" ”
With his voice, one after another Cao Jun ran out of it, and then rushed to the city of Xiangyang City.
"God help me, all sergeants, rush open the gate of Xicheng for me in a while, and let my army enter the city!" Cao Ren couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the empty surroundings, then pulled out his big knife and rushed directly towards the gate of the West City!
But just when he was most excited, suddenly he saw a flash of fire in the corner of his eye, and then the flash of fire quickly became larger.
"Zhang Kui has seen General Cao Ren!" A Jiangdong general dressed in armor walked out, looked at Cao Ren and smiled, and arched his hand at him.
"You...."Cao Ren's face was very ugly at this time, "You Jiangdong rats..."
"General Cao Ren, look around, look at you who are embarrassed now, who is more like a rat?" Zhang Kui laughed, and then yelled, "Kill the past, don't leave a single one!" ”
"Roar!" When the soldiers of Jiangdong heard the order, they rushed out without saying a word, and wanted to besiege Cao Ren here.
The soldiers under Cao Ren's command suddenly experienced this kind of change and did not react for a while, and they were killed on the spot one by one, and Chen Shao on the city wall also showed a sneer after hearing Zhang Kui's message.
"I have long known that Cao Jun was cheating, but now I see that it is really the case!" Chen Shao laughed, looking smug, "The army is divided into two teams, go and assist General Zhang Kui to exterminate Cao Ren, and at the same time spread the news that Cao Ren was trapped in Xiangyang, and tell them that this group of thieves has been tricked!" ”
When Xu Huang and the others got the news, there had been great changes on the city wall, and at the same time, Xu Huang sneered, "Yan Linghou, it's time for you to play!" ”
