Chapter 395: General's Style
"Fighting?"
Cao Zhen pulled the reins of the horse fiercely, frowned and looked at the sentry in front of him and asked.
"See clearly, who is fighting with whom?"
The sentry standing in front of Cao Zhen immediately looked shocked, and said respectfully with his fists clenched.
"General Qiyu, what the villain saw should be that the Han army and our people are fighting! At least, judging by their uniforms, that's the case! ”
For the words of the sentinel, Cao Zhen absolutely believes it.
These people are all people he has personally cultivated, and they are very credible.
As a veteran of many battles, he knows very well how important intelligence is to a war.
"Excellent! Go down and rest, you will have a reward! ”
The sentinel bowed respectfully again, and then led his horse out of here.
As soon as this person left, Cao Shuang, who was observing from a distance, immediately walked up.
"Father, is something happening again?"
Cao Zhen's angry light looked ahead again, and the general outline of Chang'an could already be seen here.
If it weren't for the fact that it was too dark, it could have been seen even more clearly.
"It's an accident again, according to the sentinel's report, less than five kilometers away from us, there is a war going on now.
It was our people who fought with the Han army, now you know who is with whom, right? ”
Cao Zhen didn't withdraw his gaze, but said lightly.
"Is it Xiahou Nan and Liu Bei?"
Cao Shuang said in disbelief.
This news is great news for them.
Five miles away, it was a breeze for them to get there.
If they can eliminate Liu Bei in one fell swoop, even if they are slaughtered together with Xiahou Nan, no one will say anything.
With such a big credit in front of him, Cao Shuang only felt that he was fluttering.
Looking at the obvious change in his son's expression, Cao Zhen sighed secretly.
This kid still lacks real exercise, and he doesn't know how to control his emotions.
If a commander is easily seen by others, the commander is not far from failure.
"You...."Cao Zhen glared at Cao Shuang.
Cao Shuang, who woke up from the ecstasy, immediately discovered his gaffe.
"The child is out of shape, and I ask my father to forgive my sins!!"
Cao Shuang lowered his head and said sincerely with his fists.
"Learn to control your emotions and not let them sway your judgment.
Just like now, do you think that as long as we take the army and rush over directly, this Liu Bei will be in our pocket? ”
Cao Zhen looked at Cao Shuang very seriously and said leisurely.
Seeing that the other party's head seemed to be lowered, he sighed lightly and continued.
"Have you ever wondered what would happen if we pounced on it with our troops just like this?
We will immediately become entangled with the Han army, but what about Xiahou Nan? Judging from the information sent before, this person has long had a rebellious heart.
The reason why he lost Chang'an was because he was going to give it to that Chu King Xu Tian before!
If at this time, Xiahou Mao suddenly turned his back, what should we do?
Not only that, in addition to these two parties, don't forget, there is still that King Chu in Chang'an City!
Suppose you think that if all three of us are fighting together, or if they clamp each other down, what will be the consequences if this Xu Tian suddenly comes out? ”
Cao Zhen's series of questions made Cao Shuang speechless.
There were even dense beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, but he hadn't thought of these questions.
At this moment, Cao Shuang was very depressed, he always felt that no matter what he did, there would be a huge loophole, and it was the kind of loophole that would bring serious consequences.
Seeing that his son was already a little depressed, Cao Zhen did not continue.
He just wanted to use his own way to talk about Cao Shuang's cultivation as his successor.
He knows this son very well, he has a lot of ideas, and he is also very smart.
It's just that I lack a lot of experience, and now that I see that my words have worked, I won't say it anymore.
In case of overcorrection and a blow to his self-confidence, it will be more than worth the loss.
"Well, you've done a good job!"
Cao Zhen smiled slightly, looked at Cao Shuang and said.
"Now, what we have to do is to divide the troops into two routes, and you lead a large army to surround Liu Bei and Xiahou Nan.
only surround but not fight, and I, with other people, to protect Xu Tian in Chang'an! ”
Father's arrangement, Cao Shuang only listened to a few words, and he knew what he wanted to do.
He is trying to use his own way to temper him, an immature general.
"Thank you, Father..."
Cao Shuang hugged his fists extremely sincerely and bowed to Cao Zhen.
.....
Liu Bei, who escaped from the Wei army camp, quickly joined up with Zhao Yun, who was guarding outside.
"Are you alright, King?"
Zhao Yun quickly turned over and dismounted, came to Liu Bei's side and asked.
"It's okay, fortunately, I was prepared, and there weren't many people to lose!"
Liu Bei sighed lightly and looked at the somewhat chaotic army, his expression was very ugly.
He didn't know why, no matter what he had done lately, none of it had been successful.
"What should we do now, Great King?"
Zhao Yun also looked at the soldiers around him, their morale was very low now, and they were not suitable for fighting at all.
At this moment, a ride came galloping in the distance.
Quickly came to Liu Bei not far away, and this person turned over and dismounted.
Because the speed was too fast, he rolled directly on the ground several times when he got off the horse before standing in front of Liu Bei.
"What's so alarming?"
Although Liu Bei knew that something might have happened again, he couldn't panic.
If the soldiers could see that he was flustered, there would really be no way to fight this battle.
"King Qiqi... A large number of Wei troops appeared in the rear ... And, at a rapid pace, it's coming straight at us! ”
The sentry's slightly trembling voice echoed around.
At this moment, it was quiet here, and almost all eyes were on Liu Bei.
"This damn Cao Zhen is here at this time!" Liu Bei scolded secretly.
"King, now we can't retreat, there is Cao Zhen in the rear, and Xiahou Mao in front is also chasing and killing.
We're surrounded now! ”
Zhao Yun said with an extremely ugly expression.
Of course, he knew the seriousness of the problem, and everyone knew what it meant to be surrounded by enemy regiments.
And it is very likely that if one is not careful today, the whole army will be wiped out.
"Now we are surrounded, but it is not completely without a way out!"
Liu Bei took a deep breath and said firmly.
Now what they need most is not how many troops they have, but the morale of the ranks.
If I don't do something about it, I'm afraid I really won't be able to leave today.
"Cao Zhen is not a fool, he won't know that there is a Xu Tian in Chang'an City, therefore, he will definitely not send all the troops here!
What's more, Xiahou Nan is not of the same mind as him now, this is our opportunity! ”
