Volume 5 The Flame of the Burning Man Chapter 38 Each has a different heart
The strategy of marching was established, and the heroes left one after another, and Sun Jian also went out of the camp to mobilize troops and horses, preparing to build a camp with the Bohai naval battalion as a corner. Cao Cao deliberately fell last, and took advantage of the gap to turn around and ask Nanying with his eyes.
Nan Ying knew that this was Cao Cao's intention to repay the favor and want to emulate Sun Jian to follow him and fight. It's just that as a member of the Heavenly Stems Branch, he is still Yuan Shao's unswerving subordinate on the bright side, so it is inconvenient for him to take the initiative to speak. However, if Nanying invited him on the spot, he could agree to come down with the boat......
Nanying smiled slightly and shook his head imperceptibly. Cao Cao was stunned, his eyes showed a disappointed but somewhat relaxed and complicated look, he nodded and walked out.
"It's a pity...... Seeing that the heroes were scattered, and the tent was full of his own people from the Bohai side, Jia Xu said with some regret: "The lord should pull Cao Cao." Not only can this disintegrate the strength of Yuan Shao's side, but also because we are now lacking a firm ally...... The lord doesn't know yet, right? Cao Cao's military strength is enough to rank among the top five among all the princes! ”
"What? How is this possible? The general who was familiar with the situation in the audience shouted: "More than a month ago, he still fled alone like a lost dog!" ”
"Don't forget the strength of the Cao family, the old lady Cao is known as a rich country!" Jia Xu looked at the moving faces of Nanying and the generals, and said with a smile: "Gao Feng, tell me about the news you just obtained!" ”
"Yes!" Gao Feng got up and said: "According to the information found just now, just before Cao Cao fled back to Qian County, his father Cao Song had already sold Zhongtian property, obtained hundreds of millions of dollars, and recruited troops and horses in the name of Cao Cao......"
He took out a white silk from his bosom and said in detail: "After Cao Cao's cousin Xiahoudun, Cao Hong and others recruited local young people, he won 3,000 soldiers; There is also Chen Liuxiangyi's Wei Zi, who poured his family funds to recruit 5,000 soldiers and put them into Cao Cao's subordinates; There is also a strong Ren Jun in Zhongmu County, who has always had a deep friendship with the Cao family. He also led 1,000 private soldiers to Cao Cao...... At the same time, considering that Bao Xin, the brother Bao Tao and Cao Cao were friends of life and death, the 20,000 infantry and 700 cavalry of his department could also be counted into Cao Cao's military strength. To sum up, Cao Cao's combat power ranks among the top five among all the participating princes! ”
"Xiahoudun, Cao Hong, Wei Zi, Ren Jun......" Nan Ying silently read the names of several people, and suddenly smiled and said: "This Wei Zi would have known that it was the rich kid who praised 'Zi Xu Shao' by Guo Tai, the number one scholar in the world back then, right?" How could such a wronged man not take refuge in us? It's cheap for nothing, Cao Ah is hiding it! ”
The generals laughed loudly together, and some people said disdainfully: "What less desire? Don't you want to take advantage of the troubled times to seek a future? ”
In this way, Cao Cao, this kid, can actually mobilize as many as 30,000 soldiers and horses. What a underestimate of him! Nan Ying sighed: "However, the battle against Dong is not a sea of people offensive to win!" Its troops not only have the warlike armies of Liangzhou and Bingzhou, but also the elite of alien races such as the Xiongnu, Tuge, Huangzhong Yicong, and Xiqiang! Relying on Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, those stupid recruits who have not trained for a few months, to carry it hard? Wait for death! ”
"General! There will be a problem at the end! Gan Ning got up and puzzled: "Since the general thinks that the strength of the allied side is not good, why do we still want to come to the alliance?" Or even recognize Yuan Shao's status as the leader of the alliance? You have all seen it just now, and that kid is obviously lacking in confidence after entering the camp! ”
"These are two questions...... I believe that you all have doubts in your hearts, and I will show it simply! Nan Ying raised his hand and motioned for Gan Ning to sit down, and said solemnly: "Dong Zhuo's brutal behavior has aroused the indignation of the world. It also violated the bottom line of the interests of the world's heroes, so it is imperative to recruit Dong Zhuo! However, if we fight alone, we will not only be suspected of grabbing merit and power. It is easier to get caught in a heavy siege and be broken by Dong Zhuo with superior military strength. In other words, we need a large but low-powered rabble to act as a meat shield, so that we can find flaws in the frequent movements of the Dong army. Surprise attack to destroy the enemy! ”
When the generals heard the word "meat shield", they all laughed wildly.
"Originally, I didn't want to win over any of the princes into our army's camp!" Nan Ying smiled: "But Wentai is his own person, we can't just watch him be buried with those stupid people, right?" ”
"So to speak. The matter of the alliance is also unavoidable! He nodded to Gan Ning and said, "This is the answer to the first question!" ”
The generals nodded abruptly.
"As for the alliance leader?" Nan Ying smiled again, and said indifferently: "Yuan Benchu still has use value, if I come up and rob him of his throne, where will he still have the motivation to attack Dong Zhuo?" What alliance leader ......"
He straightened up and said proudly, "Do you know why Ben invited them over to the camp?" It is to let this group of frogs at the bottom of the well see the true strength of our Bohai Navy! With such a powerful force and the imperial decree of the Son of Heaven in the hands of this general, the so-called alliance leader is just a joke....... the matter of Fang Cai is already obvious, this will recognize Yuan Shao's status as the alliance leader, but how to fight exactly? It's still up to Ben to have the final say! ”
The generals laughed and said, "Not bad, not bad!" He's just a puppet! ”
"Can't say that!" Nan Ying shook his head with a smile and said, "As long as we do the same thing as Sun Jian's side, it is enough!" Those miscellaneous troops, they would have been too lazy to care about them, let them fight to the death with Dong Zhuo! ”
"The general forcibly denied their strategy of dividing the troops, in fact, it is also for their good!" He said with regret: "Otherwise, he will be destroyed by Dong Zhuo so soon, where will Ben go to find such a thick meat shield again?" ”
The roar of laughter in the tent erupted again, nearly toppling the roof.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu hurriedly returned to the account, the two of them were relatively speechless, and they were trying to sort out their thoughts in their minds for a while.
After a long time, Yuan Shucai said suspiciously: "Originally, what did you say Nanying was trying to do?" I don't believe that he really has such a magnanimity, not only did he not pursue us for the pursuit of him that day, but even gave up the position of alliance leader! ”
"I'm convinced of that!" Yuan Shao muttered: "Compared to us, Dong Zhuo is Nanying's mortal enemy, there is absolutely no form of maneuver and tolerance between these two, and it can only end with the death of one party!" ”
"Speaking of the position of the alliance leader?" He smiled bitterly: "Nanying is a smart man, with only his imperial decree of the Son of Heaven, can we still move him?" ”
"Humph! But he doesn't want to move us! Yuan Shu sneered: "It is said that there are more than a dozen assassins and Taishou from all over the country, and most of them are people and horses belonging to you and me, even if he Nanying has the Son of Heaven token, we can still ignore it!" ”
"So, he wisely proposed a two-way attack strategy!" Yuan Shao said calmly: "In this way, the two groups of people can be relatively united to fight against the strong enemy!" ”
"How could Dong Zhuo's strength skyrocket?" Yuan Shu said bitterly: "In vain, we still thought that we would use the momentum of thunder to plow the court and sweep the acupoints in one fell swoop...... Huangfu Yizhen, an old dog, how could he not keep the evening festival? ”
"No wonder he's cornered!" Yuan Shao sighed: "The key is still on Han Sui and Ma Teng, we want to fight Dong Zhuo with Huangfu Song, but we don't take into account that Huangfu Song first fell into the north and south encirclement of Dong Zhuo and Han Ma...... If he does not come down, will he have a way to live? What's more, Dong Zhuo established Dong Hou as the Son of Heaven, and took advantage of the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate, so he could issue a letter from the Son of Heaven to force Huangfu Song to comply! ”
"Speaking of which, I'm even more weird!" Yuan Shu was surprised: "Nanying said before that he can guarantee that the righteousness of the world is on our side, what does this mean?" Could it be that with the three-sided token left by the first emperor, it can surpass the current son...... This is completely impossible, otherwise where is the imperial power? ”
"You're right!" Yuan Shao condensed and said: "I have been thinking about the deep meaning of Nanying's words...... Because leaving aside the victory or defeat of the war between the enemy and us, the biggest variable for us is that today, if he comes to the front of the two armies when the Dong army is defeated, and denounces us as rebels......." He paused, and said helplessly: "Then we can only make a desperate bet!" ”
"Could it be that Nanying still has something to do?" Yuan Shao suddenly said in shock: "This person is the most important minister of the first emperor, and it is not difficult to see from the imperial decree of the Son of Heaven that the three sides are enough to make the Empress Dowager Dong also submit, he must have mastered a lot of important secrets that are not known to everyone......"
"What is he hiding? In the face of today's genuine Son of Heaven, dare to claim to be on the side of righteousness? He thought about it and said, "Or is it that the first emperor Liu Hong made some arrangements before he died......."
"Could it be Shi Hou?" Yuan Shu suddenly blurted out: "We have always suspected that Nan Ying took Shi Hou away, will he move out of Shi Hou to fight against Dong Hou?" ”
"Probably not!" Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "If Shi Hou really falls into the hands of Nan Ying, how can he watch Dong Zhuo push Dong Hou to become the Son of Heaven?" After all, Shi Hou is the rightful heir of the first emperor! There's no reason why Southern Eagle shouldn't monopolize this great power, right? ”
"Don't think about it anymore, it's a big deal to attack Luoyang directly and fight a fish to break the net!" Yuan Shu sneered: "The life of the Great Han's eight hundred years of fire virtue should also come to an end!" ”
"Let's hope it doesn't go that far!" Yuan Shao sighed: "The method of taking risks is not as safe as coming in in an orderly manner after all...... You must control the Son of Heaven! ”
He suddenly looked at Yuan Shu with ejaculated eyes: "Highway!" You and I have been fighting for many years, but in the end we can't write two Yuan characters in one stroke, no matter how unfavorable the current situation is, I hope you can abide by the previous covenant! Only when you and my brothers work together can we stand out in the face of adversity and create a situation for all generations! ”
"Don't worry!" Yuan Shu stretched out his hand without hesitation, and said in a deep voice: "Is my Yuan Shu a person who doesn't know the general situation?" If you are divided, you and I will die, and if you are together, you will rule the world together, of course I understand this superficial truth...... is still the same sentence of the day, if it is a big event in the future, you and I will divide the north and the south, the eldest brother will be respected, you will be the emperor of the Bo family, and I will be the emperor of the Zhong family! ”
"Good!" Yuan Shao's whole person suddenly glowed with amazing brilliance, and he said with great ambition: "In this way, the world will still belong to my Yuan family, and you and my brother and the second emperor should be famous in history and leave a good story for all generations!" ”
"Smack" The two palms slammed into one place. (To be continued......)
