Chapter 645 Yanzhou Jiangdong attacked Linxiang
"Everyone, follow me into the city!"
"No!"
As soon as Cao Cao heard this, the movement of Luoyang City was getting smaller and smaller, so judging by his experience, this Yan Yan Bacheng had retreated. In fact, thinking about it, he immediately retreated, which was the right choice. If you want to be him, you have to do it yourself. After all, this current situation, for their Liangzhou army, is the general trend has gone. So if you don't retreat at this time, when will you retreat. If it's late, the casualties can only be stricter, and Cao Cao has of course heard of Yan Yan's name, so he knows that his person should make a decision immediately.
Sure enough, after he took Xun You and Cheng Yu into Luoyang City, he had already found that he was about to end the battle. The remaining Liangzhou army, but it is the last to be broken, and it has been destroyed by itself, and at this time it can be said that it is a complete victory! When Cao Cao saw it, he was happy in his heart, but he also thought about it, this Yan Yan ran really fast, and it was about the same as he expected, and this person really lived up to his reputation-
Le Jin went directly to chase Yan Yan, but obviously, he didn't catch up with others. People retreated quickly, which was also more familiar with Luoyang City than him.
Lu Qian brought more than 20 of his brothers to see his lord, and now there are so many left, but many of them are injured.
⊥ ↘ "Lord, my subordinates are worthy of their mission!" Lu Qian was finally able to say this to his lord tonight, and he was naturally happy in his heart.
Cao Cao looked at it and nodded slightly. "Zike, everyone. You are all the warriors of my Yanzhou army! If you can capture the sun tonight, you should be the first to take the credit! Again. On behalf of all the officers and men of our army, thank you for your hard work! ”
As a result, as soon as they heard Cao Cao say this, Lu Qian hurriedly said that they didn't dare, and Lu Qian said directly: "Lord, this is a matter within the responsibility of subordinates and others!" It's the responsibility of subordinates! ”
"Our army has always been rewarded for meritorious service, and punishment must be punished for mistakes! In the past few years, you have endured humiliation and burdens for our army, and our soldiers and soldiers. I won't forget you! ”——
Saying that, Cao Cao had already dismounted, directly grabbed Lu Qian's hand, and then said to him, and to all the people who had been lurking in Luoyang: "Everyone, without you, there would be no our army entering this Luoyang City tonight!" Come, come with me! ”
Cao Cao was indeed a little excited, of course, more to see Lu Qian. And with the efforts of everyone, they captured Luoyang. A Luoyang City is indeed not worth how much he values. But one thing, that's all these years. To say that this battle is just a big advantage of the Liangzhou army, and it captured the fortified city in less than two days. This is what Cao Cao values and is happy about.
And these people have been lurking for so many years. Now he is still loyal to himself, which also makes Cao Cao feel gratified. In his opinion. If this is the case with all the soldiers of this side, then why worry about not being unified? This is not a big deal at all, even if the Liangzhou Army is very powerful, the combat power is very strong, even if the Jiangdong Army has the Yangtze River natural danger, even if Liu Xuande is more able to run, but these are not problems!
But Cao Cao also understands that this is just his own thoughts, the real facts and ideals, there will be a gap after all, is this not clear to himself-
And he naturally has the intention of buying people's hearts, after all, Cao Cao knows that such a move by himself will definitely make Lu Qian and them more determined to serve their lives. And Cao Cao also thought about it, this is like this, and it can be regarded as doing it for others to see, seeing that he will never treat meritorious people badly. Therefore, as long as you all make meritorious contributions, then of course you will be rewarded for your merits, and at this time, you, who are the lords, may also be so courteous.
This is also Cao Cao's purpose, and now, he thinks it has been achieved well. As for this time, he took Lu Qian's hand, walked in the front, and went to Yan Yan's mansion with everyone, Cao Cao naturally had to say a few words to everyone.
This Luoyang has been won, but there are other places, and now that the new city has been obtained, Cao Cao naturally has to make a little summary, and he should praise everyone well, which is what he needs to do. So it's not easy to be the lord, take the overall situation into account, and you have to take everything into account-
In Linxiang, Huang Zhong led his troops to deal with Niu Jin, but he felt that it was too easy. It's not to underestimate them, their Yanzhou Army and Jiangdong Army are just trying to attack, and it's really not worth letting Huang Zhong go all out.
Niu Jin just complained in his heart, even if he had heard of Huang Zhong's name, and more than once. But after really confronting him, he finally understood that this rumor was not necessarily unreliable. Even if Huang Zhong and his people are about to be sixty years old, this is really old and strong, and it is indeed not comparable to ordinary people. At least it gave him a feeling that was greater than the last time he was in Luo County, and more pressure than Gan Ning. So Niu Jin also thought about it, this Huang Zhong is more powerful than Gan Ning, which is indeed true.
Otherwise, he Huang Hansheng is the guard general of Changsha, and Gan Ning is just a guard of Luo County, this Niu Jin knows it very well, and he knows that they are all appointed by Ma Chao himself, so this doesn't explain the problem. Of course, it's to put the more powerful ones in the most critical places, isn't it, he understands it.
So in Niu Jin's view, Huang Zhong's ability surpasses that of Gan Ning-
Niu Jin's ability may not be particularly great, but his eyes are not bad, he has followed Cao Ren for so many years, and he has gone through a lot of wars, so it is true that he has not been fighting Huang Zhong for long. He felt it. And I also know that the other party really deserves its reputation! This is what his generals always like to say, "there is no vanity under fame". It's not that "it's actually hard to live under the fame", this Niu Jin still understands what it means. I can tell clearly.
Therefore, even if Huang Zhong is so old, Niu Jin does not dare to underestimate him at all. Because he knows that this is the most powerful opponent he has encountered. Indeed, the previous Gan Ning, who thought he was powerful enough, was really "the strongest of the stronger", this Huang Zhong is better than Gan Ning. It's only high, not low, and it's definitely the strongest enemy!
However, even so, it didn't make Niu Jin have anything to fear, on the contrary, he felt that this was his own opportunity, and when Guo Huai and Zhang Liao were not on it, his opportunity came. At least for this moment, today. His own general let himself lead the troops alone, even if it was a temptation, he was happy! ——
After all, use yourself and let yourself lead the troops. If he has a place to use, Niu Jin is happy. If it was the other way around, of course he would not be happy. But an order to his own general. But he never disobeys, which is really good. Even if there are some complaints. But there is no resentment, after all, Niu Jin thinks of himself. In his own general's place, he is still taken care of more.
Huang Zhong commanded the Liangzhou soldiers at the head of the city, and fiercely "greeted" the Yanzhou army and Jiangdong soldiers who wanted to climb the city. Niu Jin thought that he was okay, but in front of Huang Zhong, he was forced to retreat under the cloud ladder for the third time.
Lu Su, who was next to Cao Ren, said helplessly: "General Cao, let's Mingjin!" ”
"That's it, Mingjin, collect the troops!"
I could hear Lu Su's helplessness, but Cao Ren smiled bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart that he was not helpless? This Huang Zhong is definitely a general, not to mention other places of his people, just say that he is defending the city, he is a general. Not to mention the experience, this Niu Jin hasn't been around for a while, and he was repelled once when he went up, but it's really ......-
Niu Jin was even more reluctant to lead the troops to retreat, and when he went back and saw Cao Ren, he sighed lightly and said: "General, although this Huang Zhong is old, he really can't be underestimated, amazing, amazing!" ”
Of course, Niu Jin is not good in front of these people, the officers and soldiers of the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army, saying that he admires it, so what. Even if he thinks that he is inferior to the other party, he will never say that. He also knew that his general didn't like to listen to that. But this Huang Zhong is really powerful, and it is not good if he doesn't say a few words. So there was no way, Niu Jin still said it.
When Cao Ren heard this, he said: "Indeed, this Huang Zhong is more difficult to deal with than Gan Ning, so General Niu should be cautious!" ”
Cao Ren didn't directly say how strong Huang Zhong was, but his words also directly showed how powerful Huang Zhong was. But isn't it, it's more difficult to deal with than Gan Ning, so it can only be more powerful than Gan Ning, but he didn't say that. At least Cao Ren won't do anything that he thinks will "grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige", even if it is a few words-
Lu Su smiled in his heart, and said in his heart Cao Ren, that's it, even if he thinks it in his heart, but he basically won't say that. Let him admit how powerful Huang Zhong is, even stronger than the generals of the Yanzhou Army, at least this kind of thing can't come out now.
However, he didn't say much about this, but he still said to Niu Jin, "General Niu has worked hard!" ”
Niu Jin heard that it was Lu Su who spoke, after all, he was not from their Yanzhou army, so he had to be polite, so he hurriedly said: "This is a matter of duty!" Insufficient Mr. Teeth! ”
Don't look at Niu Jin as one of the five big and three coarse, but after following Cao Rennan to fight in the north for so many years, he has indeed learned a lot and grown a lot. At least in Cao Ren's eyes, Niu Jin has been improving, even if the progress is minimal, but that is also progress. In Cao Ren's opinion, this can improve, it is better than anything else, isn't it? As long as he doesn't regress, it's okay, this is his idea of Niu Jin-
Seeing Niu Jin retreating, and finally Cao Ren left with everyone and returned to the camp, Huang Zhong smiled slightly at the head of the city and muttered to himself: "Cao Zixiao, the old man is waiting for you to send others here!" ”
Huang Zhong already knew about Luoxian, and when he dealt with Gan Ning, he got five generals at once, so Huang Zhong also thought about it, and now they have to be five generals, which is basically impossible. But if it's four, it's still no problem. Of course, he knew that there were only Guo Huai, Cao Zhen, Niu Jin and Zhang Liao now, and the four of them came with Cao Ren and Lu Su. This "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles", Huang Zhong still knows this information very clearly.
At least what Gan Ning didn't know, he knew, for example, Kou Feng was now in Luo County, and this Huang Zhong knew. Not only did he know the name of Kou Fengqi, but he also knew that he was now in Luo County. So in this regard, Gan Ning is out of reach. Therefore, Huang Zhong is not only stronger than Gan Ning in defending the city, at least as the chief general of Changsha, his ability to control intelligence is also better than his people-
In the end, Huang Zhong looked at the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army who had returned to the camp, and he said to himself: "Cao Zixiao, Lu Zijing, the old man is waiting for you to come back tomorrow!" Hahaha! ”
Saying that, he twisted his long hair in his hands, and said in his heart how long has it been, and he has never guarded the city, and now he has to pick this up. Of course, Huang Zhong didn't have any complaints about this, on the contrary, he was grateful to his lord for giving him such an opportunity. It's not because so many people think they're old that they don't use themselves much. On the contrary, if you count it, you still reuse yourself, these Huang Zhongke know and understand.
For him, the past 50 years or so can be regarded as a rare talent, and few people appreciate him at all. Of course, because of his son's illness, he delayed a lot of things and missed a lot of opportunities. (To be continued......)
