Chapter 66: Cao Cao is here (ask for collection)
Some scouts of the Yanzhou army even turned around and fled when they saw the arrival of the Xuzhou cavalry, and they did not have the confidence to come forward to meet them.
After Liu Dai learned what happened to the scout, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, the scout's investigation of the news was not conducive to the next actions of the army, if the scout lost its due role, it would definitely not be good for an army.
Cao Cao said: "Zhou Mu, in the opinion of the following officials, this is a temptation of the Xuzhou army, and they should order more scouts to inquire about the news and control the situation on the battlefield as much as possible." β
Liu Dai nodded slightly, "Meng De, I will leave the matter of inquiring about the situation on the battlefield to you." β
"Whoa." Cao Cao arched his hand.
After becoming the Taishou of Dongjun, Cao Cao used the victories of successive wars to announce his existence to the officials of Yanzhou, and the Yellow Turban of Dongjun disappeared because of Cao Cao's arrival.
The inclusion of the elite of the Yellow Turban Army strengthened Cao Cao's troops, and in the face of LΓΌ Bu, Cao Cao brought 6,000 elites, including 500 cavalry.
When fighting against Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao saw what role an elite cavalry would play on the battlefield, which was an elite force that could influence the battlefield, even if the situation was not very good at the time, Cao Cao still gritted his teeth and formed a cavalry team, in order to have more possibilities to win in the war.
"General, the scouts have sent news that the Yanzhou army has been dispatched, and it seems that it is the soldiers and horses of Cao Cao, the Taishou of Dongjun." Cao Xing stepped forward.
Lu Bu's eyes tightened, "Have you ever explored clearly?" β
Seeing Lu Bu's solemn tone, Cao Xing immediately said, "The last general will order someone to investigate." β
"You go in person, and try to talk as clearly as possible about the main generals and numbers of the enemy army." Lu Bu admonished.
"The last will understand." Cao Xing was ordered to ride away.
"Cao Cao? The battle outside Luoyang, the memory left you is not deep enough, hearing that Ben will lead the soldiers and horses to come, and dare to face the battle, Ben will not mind killing all the fierce generals under your command. Lu Bu sneered.
In Lu Bu's development plan, Cao Cao is a fierce rival, Cao Cao's means are extraordinary, he serves as the Taishou of Dongjun, once something happens to Liu Dai, Cao Cao is likely to enter Yanzhou, Cao Cao's ability to show after taking office as Taishou of Dongjun is still recognized by Yanzhou officials.
"General, that Cao Cao is just a general of the defeated army, as long as the general leads the cavalry to go, he will definitely be able to defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop." Wei continued.
Lu Bu shook his head and said: "Cao Cao is not as simple as it seems, it should not be underestimated, when facing the enemy, be more careful to achieve more victories." β
"Thank you, General, for your teachings." Wei Xu hugged his fists, and he suddenly found that Lu Bu in front of him was very different from before.
Not only Wei Xu, but also the generals who followed Lu Bu could feel the changes in Lu Bu, after occupying Xuzhou, Lu Bu behaved more calmly when he encountered things, and when he considered things, he was more comprehensive than before, such a change made the generals in the army happy.
Lu Bu smiled: "Of course, as long as the war starts, you must move forward bravely, otherwise how will the soldiers under your command use their lives even more." β
Wei Xu nodded, Lu Bu did exactly this in the previous battles, which is also the reason why as long as Lu Bu is in the army, the fighting spirit of the soldiers will be improved to a greater extent.
If the Lord is brave in the face of battle, let alone his soldiers, why should they not be careless in battle?
Half an hour later, Cao Xing returned.
"General, the one who commanded the army first was Cao Cao, the Taishou of Dongjun, and the soldiers under his command were about 6,000 people, and there were also a lot of cavalry under his command, and now the scouts of the Cao army are investigating the situation on the battlefield." Cao Xuan turned over and dismounted, and said in a slightly panting tone.
Lu Bu smiled: "Cao Cao can't help but want to make a move, if the general doesn't give Cao Cao a generous gift, how can he do it." β
"The last general will fight." Cao He and Wei Xu glanced at each other and stepped forward.
Lu Budao: "Before the battle, let Cao Cao feel distressed, Cao Xing, this general ordered you to lead the elite cavalry to exterminate the enemy scouts, so that it is difficult for the enemy scouts to find out the slightest news." β
"Whoa." Cao Xing hugged his fists.
"General Wei Xu, temporarily follow the general's side and wait for the dispatch, and tell the cavalry in the army to prepare for battle, as long as the general gives an order, he can come forward to fight the enemy at any time." Lu Budao.
Wei Xu nodded yes, the battle spirit in his chest was burning, this battle was the Xuzhou army taking the initiative to attack, in Wei Xu's opinion, as long as it was the order issued by Lu Bu, it would be the same, even if the Xuzhou army did not come to meet the battle, would the Yanzhou army give up attacking Xuzhou because of this.
Following behind Lu Bu, the soldiers of the Xuzhou army will win one battle after another, making the enemy tremble in the ensuing battles and making them feel the fierceness of the Xuzhou army.
The scouts of the two armies clashed on the battlefield, and after Cao Cao accepted the task of being in charge of the battlefield scouts, he understood how difficult this operation would be, and the most powerful under Lu Bu was the cavalry, and the princes' army suffered a lot of losses from Lu Bu's cavalry.
Cavalry is like the wind on the battlefield, and if you want to stop the pace of cavalry, you need to put in more effort.
The fierce confrontation of the scouts was beyond imagination, and the scouts of the Yanzhou army continued to fall on the battlefield.
"I don't want the cavalry under Lu Bu to be so brave." Cao Cao sighed.
The confrontation of the scouts can see the gap between the cavalry of the two sides to a large extent, and Cao Cao studied a lot of cavalry-related things during this time, in order to get an elite cavalry.
Hearing this, Xiahou Yuan said angrily: "The last general is willing to lead the cavalry forward and kill the traitors." β
"Don't be reckless." Cao Cao waved his hand and said, judging from the movements after the troops were dispatched in Xuzhou, Lu Bu was not as simple as it seemed, and the successive actions made the Yanzhou army suffer a lot of losses.
"Let the scouts carefully inquire about the news on the battlefield, and it is best to find the traces of the enemy army." Cao Cao admonished.
On the battlefield, you need to be brave, but you also need to be cautious, if you have more courage and not enough calm, it is likely to put the army in a dangerous situation.
Cao Cao can also be regarded as a general who has led troops to fight many times, and he is not weaker than others in terms of his ability to lead troops in battle.
No matter how carefully the cavalry under Cao Cao tried to probe the situation on the battlefield, it was always difficult to accurately get the movements of the Xuzhou army, and the cavalry belonging to Cao Cao's side did not dare to advance lightly on the battlefield, who was sure that there was no enemy ambush ahead.
The means by which scouts have the means to find out the news will have a direct impact on the engagement of the great army.
The news of scouts kept coming, and the corners of Lu Bu's mouth showed a smile, Cao Cao wanted to find out where their cavalry was, but Lu Bu didn't let Cao Cao Ruyi, so that Cao Cao didn't know much about himself on the battlefield, once the war between the two sides started, Cao Cao would suffer a big loss.
