Chapter 174 Cao Cao leads the monster, and Xu Ding explodes

The great families of Bingzhou are concentrated in Taiyuan County, which is the essence and focus of the entire Bingzhou.

You said that Ding Yuan did not have a crooked heart, Cao Cao Xu Ding may not believe it, but the families in Taiyuan believe it.

So Xu Ding and Cao Cao left Jinyang City and went west, and were warmly welcomed and entertained by all cities and counties along the way.

After all, Xu Ding and the others are going to recover Xihe County, which is equivalent to building a barrier to the west of them, can they not be enthusiastic?

Especially when it came to Pingtao and Zishi, the local families sent guides one after another, sent all the information about Xihe County, and even quietly stuffed a map of Xihe County.

You must know that Ding Yuan, who is the history of thorns, does not have a map of Xihe County.

And the map in the hands of Xu Ding and the others can be described in detail, which makes Xu Ding and Cao couldn't help but think, what do these guys want to do, and what do they do with such a clear map of Linjun?

It's not surprising that the family has a map of their own county, because they want to survive, but if you make a map of other states and counties, it's a bit taboo.

According to the official statement, only the government can draw and hold maps, and ordinary people are not allowed to keep them privately, but the unspoken rule defaults to the fact that you can secretly engage in the county and the county, and if it is as large as the state or beyond the county, it is basically not possible.

Because the boundary has been crossed, this will cause vigilance and counterattack from other county and state families.

Of course, the families of the two counties did not dare to say that this was theirs, but panicked, saying that a certain family in Xihe County was willing to give it for free, hoping that Xu Ding and others could recover Xihe as soon as possible.

Xu Ding and the others did not break it, they happily accepted it, and then studied the map of Xihe County and formulated a strategy.

Cao Cao looked at the map of Xihe County and asked, "Bokang, do we really have to wait until Ding Yuan arrives in Wuyuan County before sending troops?" ”

Xu Ding shook his head and said: "Of course not, if you really want Ding Yuan to go to Wuyuan County, it is estimated that the Huns in Xihe County have already received the news and are ready." ”

"Rest for a day or two, wait for our army's spies to figure out the situation in Xihe, and then immediately send troops, this time we are not to recover Xihe County, but to destroy the enemy, all the way north, meet the Huns and kill, no need to fight, kill from south to north as fast as possible, and kill until the Huns take the initiative to surrender." Xu Ding finally began to tell the truth at this time.

Cao Cao instantly understood what Xu Ding meant, and then he suddenly realized why Xu Ding only brought cavalry over, it turned out that he planned to kill at the beginning, and use the nomadic set of tactics to nourish the war and plunder the ownerless.

Therefore, what Ding Yuan said earlier about recovering Xihe County and promising to recover Xihe with the Taiyuan family are all lies.

From the very beginning, he had no intention of taking it step by step and gradually recovering the plan.

I have to say that Xu Ding's strategy is the most practical, and it is also the fastest to put down this chaos that caused turmoil in Youzhou because of the turmoil in Youzhou.

But the method is good, but Cao Cao is a little sad.

"Berkang! You have horses in your department, but I don't have those strong men who gather halfway? Cao Cao said with a headache.

Xu Ding said with a smile: "Meng De, you see that we attacked the Huns in Xihe County, should we also defend and attack." ”

It's another offense and a defense.

After Cao Cao comprehended, his face was even more bitter.

"Bokang, can you change someone? I want to gallop north, you see that I have even brought out Zilian, Zixiao, Miaocai, and Yuanrang, and there are other warriors on my side such as Gong Liu, Shixin, Potian, etc., all of them can be ten with one, and we will not lag behind. "Cao Cao begged, he really didn't want to be separated from Xu Ding.

Xu Ding patted Cao Cao's shoulder and said: "It is because Meng De that these people you bring are all warriors, and they are all heroes who are ten or even hundred, that I believe that you can firmly attract the attention of the Huns and carry the banner of recovering Xihe County." ”

In the words of later generations, Cao Cao led the monster and Xu Dingviolent equipment.

"Bokang, you really think so, you really praise me." Cao Cao couldn't cry or laugh, and seemed to be a little floating.

Cao Cao also had this kind of self-confidence, and although there were not many people he brought with him this time, they were much stronger than the thousands of northern troops he had brought before.

The two teams are not on the same level.

"Of course, I believe that Meng De has this ability and charm, and he will definitely be able to plan our army's actions well." Xu Ding said affirmatively.

Cao Cao had no choice but to nod and said, "Okay, then I will take over this important task, but those righteous people who came with you in Bokang need you to do ideological work, I'm afraid they won't be willing to stay with me." ”

These people are really not easy to appease, after all, they are voting for their own reputation, and Xu Ding has no choice but to explain to these people in person.

Of course, these people didn't agree at first, let them follow Cao Cao's actions, how can this work.

However, after Xu Ding analyzed the situation well, and explained the reason for doing so, and finally promised that as long as he really wanted to vote, he could go to Donglai after the end of the rebellion in Bingzhou, and then he promised to treat each other with great courtesy and give them a corresponding military position.

In this way, the minds of these people were appeased.

So Xu Ding and Cao Cao were divided into two, and Xu Ding quietly crossed the border from the northwest mountain and river path of Pingtao City with 6,000 cavalry to Xihe County.

Cao Cao disguised himself as an army of 8,000 people from the Zi clan to Xihe County through the official road, and at the same time let the Zi family transfer 2,000 private soldiers to follow, but their march was much slower, and they were blatant, taking the initiative to spread the news of the troops to the hands of the Huns.

The Huns in the south of Xihe County heard the news, and really actively prepared for war, and then gathered momentum in the area of Zhongyang City, waiting for Cao Cao's army.

"Report! The lord, the Huns in the south were attracted by Cao Cao, and now the area around Lishi and Gao Wolf is empty, leaving only the old and weak women and children of the Huns who went south. ”

Xu Ding nodded, and then summoned all the generals to come over and said: "There are almost more than 20,000 Xiongnu who are in the vicinity of Zhongyang City, in order to wait for Cao Mengde to penetrate and then surround and kill him.

I believe that Meng De will not be reckless, and he does not have the strength to fight hard with the Huns, and now he has successfully attracted the main force of the Huns in the south to help us, so now it is our turn to shoot, everyone is ready, whether it is the old and weak, women and children, as long as it is the Huns, they will be killed.

It is also forbidden to separate from the large army, do not pursue the enemy alone, solve the Huns in the area of Lishi and Gaowolf, and immediately go north to Yuanyang and Yuanyin. ”

"It's the lord!" The crowd roared into orders.

Against the Huns, there was no mercy to mention.

This trip is to kill, keep killing, all the way to Shuofang, kill to the Huns' Tianwolf Mountain and Jilusai.

Sure enough, as reported by the spies, there were not many Huns in Lishi and other places, all of them were old and weak women and children who had just migrated south, and a small number of strong men who stayed behind.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the Han cavalry, the Huns in these places were taken aback.

Obviously, this kind of established system, large-scale Han cavalry basically does not exist in Xihe County.

Even in the past, Xihe Taishou did not have many soldiers and horses, let alone a cavalry team of all arms.
