Chapter 356: The Talent of a General
Cao Cao knew that Lu Bu had an army of 40,000 soldiers and horses, and it was really difficult to provoke Lu Bu in Luoyang City, and it was Yan Liang and Wen Chou who would provoke Lu Bu.
Cao Cao had to give Lu Bu a step, hold Lu Bu high, pull him to the same status as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao and others, and let Lu Bu have a contrast in his heart, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are just Yuan Shao's subordinates, what are you angry with Yuan Shao's subordinates, you and Yuan Shao's subordinates are angry, you will lose your identity as Lu Bu Wenhou.
Cao Cao's words, Lu Bu loved to listen to them, and couldn't help but put Fang Tian's halberd behind him, nodded, and stopped fighting with Yan Liang and Wen Chou, it was undignified.
Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse, standing on the side, waiting for Cao Cao to come forward to persuade Yan Liang and Wen Chou, if Yan Liang and Wen Chou did not enter and did not listen to persuasion, then Lu Buke would instigate Cao Cao to take action together and destroy Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
Sure enough, Cao Cao saw that Lu Bu took a step back, and his heart was overjoyed, this Lu Bu really had too soft ears, and he listened to it as soon as he said it, it seems that he will have to be close to Lu Bu in the future, and blow the wind in his ears to Lu Bu, so it will be much easier to use Lu Bu as a gunman.
Cao Cao crossed Lu Bu and came to the place where Lu Bu had just fought, facing Yan Liang and Wen Chou, his face was full of spring breeze, and he smiled, first bowed his hand and said with a smile:
"General Yan, General Wen, the name of this general is Cao Cao, the word Mengde. The two generals were both original right-hand men, and it was a great honor to meet them today. Presumably the two generals also know the importance of this city gate, as long as it fails to open once, Yuan Shao's army will not be able to enter, since the two generals and Wen Hou have some misunderstandings, and it happens that the general also wants to open this city gate, I wonder if the two generals are willing to cut their love and give this opportunity to the general? ”
"Besides, the beams of this gate are large and heavy, and there are only two generals, and there is no one else to help, if you change to a general, it will be faster to break through this gate, and it will not delay the original important thing. If I wait for the tripartite pestle here, my eyes are busy, and I don't do anything, but it is not beautiful, and I hope that the two generals will give the general a face. ”
Cao Cao played the emotional card, hoping that Yan Liang and Wen Chou would get out of the way for Yuan Shao's sake, and let Cao Cao command Xia Houdun and Cao Ren and others to move the city gate.
It's not that Cao Cao refuses to let the two brothers Yan Liang and Wen Chou come, but that Yan Liang and Wen Chou are only two people, and they are too slow to move, whether it is Cao Cao or Lu Bu, they are all in a hurry to get out of the city.
Can't afford to delay.
Yan Liang turned his head and looked at Wen Chou, in addition to fighting and killing, Yan Liang relied on himself, if there were other things, Yan Liang was used to listening to Wen Chou's opinion, Yan Liang felt that Cao Cao's attitude was okay, although he was almost good-looking, not as handsome as Yuan Shao, and his appearance was not good, Yan Liang was undecided, and he didn't know whether to give Cao Cao this face.
Wen Chou knew that it was because Cao Cao came out just now and spoke for Yan Liang and Wen Chou that Lu Bu was willing to give in, and did not fight with Yan Liang and Wen Chou for the time being, Cao Cao, who could make Lu Bu jealous, would definitely not be weak, in case Yan Liang and Wen Chou lost Cao Cao's face and made Cao Cao angry, then Yan Liang and Wen Chou had to face not only Lu Bu, but also one more Cao Cao.
"General Cao, since you have an old relationship with my lord, it doesn't hurt to hand over this city gate to you to open, but I hope that General Cao will open the city gate as soon as possible, don't delay, and the thieves will come." Wen Chou insisted that more things are better than less things, anyway, the city gate will be knocked on sooner or later, Cao Cao is willing to do it for him, that is a good thing, at least Yan Liang and Wen Chou don't have to be distracted, just keep an eye on whether Lu Bu has secretly attacked.
When Cao Cao heard this, he smiled, nodded, and waved his hand to Xia Houdun and Cao Ren and others, and asked Xia Houdun and Cao Ren to lead their soldiers to open the city gate.
Outside Luoyang City, within five miles, the army of Zhuhou.
"Sikong, what do you think of the two tiger generals under the command of Ben Liang, Yan Liang and Wen Chou? These two people are superb in martial arts, courageous, and now they have attacked the city wall, and it must not take long to open the city gate for us, and I will implore Sikong to send troops immediately, and as soon as the army arrives outside the city, the city gate will be opened, just to attack Luoyang City. ”
Yuan Shao looked at the city wall of Luoyang, it seemed that even the guards of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had become scarce, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou were nowhere to be seen, so they should have killed below the city wall. Yuan Shao was anxious to attack Luoyang City, and with the prestige of the whole Yuan clan, as soon as Luoyang City was broken, Yuan Shao was able to get rid of himself and finally saved his reputation.
Cheng Yuanzhi felt strange at the beginning, even if there were too many guards on the Luoyang city wall, there was no reason to be so calm, first Sun Jian took Zu Mao and the four people to attack the city wall, and then Yan Liang and Wen Chou also climbed the city wall, but now the sound of fighting is getting smaller and smaller, almost inaudible, all this is too strange.
Either the guards on the city wall were killed by Sun Jian, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others, or the other way around, Sun Jian, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were all killed.
Cheng Yuanzhi is difficult to decide for a while, but Yuan Shao is right, Yan Liang and Wen Chou have attacked, and the generals under their command have to be taken out to make an appearance, otherwise everyone will think that Cheng Yuanzhi is a soft-footed cat, and they don't take Cheng Yuanzhi in their eyes, take it seriously.
"Fengxiao, as a military advisor, what do you think of what you said at the beginning? Should we send our generals to fight? Cheng Yuanzhi respects Guo Jia's opinion very much, and will never give orders to the generals in the army beyond Guo Jia, after all, there are countless times in everything, and Cheng Yuanzhi still feels that it is more fragrant to be in charge.
As the lord, if you have to do everything yourself, then it is better to be a small soldier to have a good time.
Guo Jia has been observing the changes on the Luoyang city wall, the first to attack the city wall was Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian and others, and then Yan Liang and Wen Chou also went up, until now no one has been caught up on the city wall, it can be seen that there must be a problem with the defenders on the Luoyang city wall, at this time take the opportunity to shoot, the problem is not big.
Guo Jia immediately made a decision, clasped his fists and said to Cheng Yuanzhi:
"Lord, General Yuan is worthy of being a general, and his vision and strategy are not as good as Jia's. Lord, at this time, all the candidates are fighting with Dong Zhuo's army, we are the first to fight for Dong, naturally we can't lag behind, Jia thinks that we can send troops, take Luoyang directly, and kill Dong Zhuo at this time, I don't know what the lord thinks? ”
If it weren't for Cheng Yuanzhi by his side, Guo Jia would have thrown the military order down a long time ago, but with Cheng Yuanzhi here, he still has to ask Cheng Yuanzhi for advice, although Cheng Yuanzhi will definitely not be arbitrary, but with Yuan Shao, an outsider, Guo Jia has to do the process in place and not be criticized.
