Chapter 304: Cutting Meat
Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, except for a small number of unlucky ghosts, ran too slowly and died under the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the others survived in the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array after Cao Ren's cover was broken, especially Cao Cao saw that the other candidates were defeated by Niu Fu's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Cao Cao also started to think crookedly, and sent Xia Houdun to collect the rout of the various candidates and take it as his own.
After coming and going, the battle of Tiger Prison Pass was defeated, but Cao Cao's soldiers and horses did not decrease but increased, and the number grew to 8,000. Later, Cao Cao found Bao Xinjun again, and after some flickering, Cao Cao's little fan Bao Xin simply handed over all the soldiers and horses to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was responsible for leading it until the discussion of Dong was completed.
However, Cao Cao took over Bao Xin's soldiers and horses, so he didn't plan to return Bao Xin, and even Bao Xin stayed with him to drive him.
"Sikong, Cao is dedicated to contributing to the Han family, and I hope that Sikong will raise his noble hand and be able to make a way through Bishui Pass, so that Cao Neng can lead the army to Luoyang, the capital, to pursue Dong Thief and save the Son of Heaven from danger."
Cao Cao's rhetoric is much stronger than Sun Jian, Sun Jian is a wolf with ambitions, and his face is full of writing that he wants to kill Dong Zhuo, and then replace Dong Zhuo and sit on a high seat in the palace, while Cao Cao is much more euphemistic, saying that he is going to ask Dong, just for the sake of the emperor of the Han family, everyone is righteous, only Dong Zhuo is a chaotic minister and thief.
Cao Cao was not as eager to ask for Dong as Sun Jian, he wanted fame and fortune, especially the reputation of loyal ministers of the Han family. In the midst of thousands of troops and horses, in the tiger's den in Longtan, to save Liu Xie, the son of heaven, such a move, people who don't know, will definitely admire Cao Cao's righteousness, so that Cao Cao can clear the background of the eunuch.
Cao Cao has been mixed in the capital Luoyang for so many years, as long as Cheng Yuanzhi is willing to open the gate of Bishui Pass and let Cao Cao pass smoothly, with the soldiers and horses on Cao Cao's hands and the connections that have been mixed with the capital Luoyang for many years, he wants to please Dong Ke is much stronger than Sun Jian, a Jiangdong tiger who knows how to bite.
However, Cheng Yuanzhi does not sell Cao Cao's face, just a Xiao cavalry captain, that is still a school captain, what's the big deal, as for the eunuch, hehe, Cheng Yuanzhi was also called a brother and brother with the first Zhang of the middle standing servant before, and when he came to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was a fart.
Thinking about Bishui Pass, it is clear to say, either pay the money honestly, or take a detour, Cheng Yuanzhi will not work hard to lay down Bishui Pass, and turn Bishui Pass into a post station, come if you want, and leave if you want.
", Mengde, it's not that Ben Sikong intends to embarrass you, but this leaves half of the grain and grass, but it is the order of the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven said that he wants Ben Sikong to collect half of the grain and grass of the world's soldiers and horses, so that he can send it to the capital Luoyang to redeem the Son of Heaven, and the soldiers and horses of this Sikong are stationed in Bishui Pass, and the grain and grass in this Bishui Pass are insufficient, and Ben Sikong really can't help you, otherwise, some small things like grain and grass, Ben Sikong will give it directly for you."
Since Cao Cao opened his mouth and closed his mouth and said that Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, then Cheng Yuanzhi simply played a trick, and said that this grain and grass was collected by Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, anyway, Cao Cao, you are a loyal minister, if you don't even want to give the grain and grass of the Son of Heaven, then you will pretend, and you will be the same as Dong Zhuo, and you will be loyal and treacherous.
Cao Cao didn't expect Cheng Yuanzhi to be so witty, and wanted to fool out half of the grain and grass, it seems that this is difficult, Cao Cao still wants to continue to play the emotional card, and Cheng Yuanzhi is close to the set, but Cheng Yuanzhi is too lazy to say, and directly took Sun Jian as an example, blocked Cao Cao's desire to speak and stopped, and shouted:
"Meng De, the Son of Heaven is being surrounded by Dong thieves, and you are in danger, as a minister of the court and a lieutenant of Xiaocai, you should be blamed for the thief, but you are here to worry about a little grain and grass, isn't it shameful? Meng De knew that the first person to arrive in the capital Luoyang, and the person who unscrewed Dong Zhuo's head, was the first hero, and this kind of glory was much more expensive than grain, grass and gold. Meng De, the soldiers are fast, but don't delay, in this Bishui Pass is wasted time, you must know that the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian Sun Wentai is much more courageous than Meng De, and has already led the army through the Bishui Pass, at this time, maybe he has already fought with Dong Zhuojun, and the battle is dark. ”
Cheng Yuanzhi fooled Cao Cao without changing his face, saying as if Cao Cao could no longer pass this water pass, and then he could only watch the other candidates make meritorious contributions.
When Cheng Yuanzhi said this, Cao Cao panicked, and the so-called army of the Eighteen Roads Candidates jointly fought against Dong, but how many of them were really powerful, Cao Cao saw it as early as when he was in the Sour Jujube Alliance.
Yuan Shao, Cheng Yuanzhi and Sun Jian are all real candidates, with countless generals under their command, or many soldiers and horses, these candidates are the opponents of Cao Cao's competition, if they really fall behind and let Dong Zhuo die in the hands of Sun Jian, then Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger, will be famous for a while.
Cheng Yuanzhi won the Bishui Pass, but he only cared about making a fortune, which made Cao Cao extremely pleased, one less opponent, and even Cao Cao still wanted to fool Bao Xin, pull Cheng Yuanzhi into the gang, and wade through the troubled waters together, but this half of the grain and grass, Cao Cao was very reluctant in his heart, it was too painful.
Outside Bishui Pass, Cao Cao racked his brains and tried to persuade Cheng Yuanzhi to let go, but Cheng Yuanzhi didn't enter the oil and salt, saying that he would be greedy for half of Cao Cao's grain and grass, otherwise he would not want to go over from Bishui Pass.
"That's it, Sikong, Cao has always respected Sikong's person, Sikong is the same as Cao, he is also a person who begs Dong, and now it is ordered by the Son of Heaven, and there is indeed a difficulty in Bishui Pass, there is a shortage of grain and grass, Cao Zidang donated generously, so he left half of the grain and grass of the army and gave it to Sikong, and he had a little heart."
Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yuanzhi with a black face, and wanted to walk down the city wall and no longer care about Cao Cao, Cao Cao panicked, he really wanted to be locked up outside the Bishui Pass and set up camp, the grain and grass consumed by the army every day was not a small amount, maybe Cheng Yuanzhi was blocked outside the Bishui Pass, and if he blocked it for half a month, half of Cao Cao's grain and grass would be gone, and he would lose the time and opportunity.
Cao Cao had to give in, agreed to Cheng Yuanzhi's conditions, cut the meat, cut the meat, passed the Bishui Pass, bypassed the Tiger Prison Pass, and went straight to the capital Luoyang, and then asked Dong Zhuojun to come back, with Sun Jian's tiger in front, although Cao Cao didn't know what the odds were, but the defeat would definitely not be.
Before in the Tiger Prison Pass, Niu Fu also relied on the soldiers and horses of Xiliang Iron Cavalry, otherwise, in the end, who won and who lost, it was not certain.
At that time, troops will be sent from Bishui Pass to attack the capital Luoyang, which is no better than the battle between the two armies like Tiger Pass, this is a surprise attack on Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo was caught off guard.
Even if Dong Zhuo called the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Prison Pass, there was no bonus of the Tiger Prison Pass, and the Waiting Army had Bishui Pass as a backer to make a retreat, Dong Zhuo would not be so easy to win.
"That's right. Meng De is really loyal and a model for the righteous people in the world. ”
