Chapter 315: Zhongda's First Battle
Meanness
Zhang Feibing was stationed here, waiting for Liu Bei to raise troops to attack Sun's army, and he was converging.
Shen Yi ran in in a panic and looked for Zhang Fei, "General! I have to investigate, Cao Jun is coming to this county. ”
When Zhang Fei heard this, his spirit was shocked, and he was worried that he had no battle to fight here, "It's just right!" It doesn't look long, and it doesn't look who's here! ”
Sima Yi was instructed to lead Xu Huang, Xu Chu and others from Nanyang to the east of Yizhou, where the three counties of Shangyong are located.
Xu Huang and Xu Chu are both veterans of Cao Wei, and their status is deeply respected by the soldiers, but it is not them who lead the army, but a literati from the DPRK and China, and there are inevitably some rumors in the army.
"Who is this person?" "I don't know this, the governor is a holy teacher, otherwise can he lead our general?" "No wonder, I haven't heard of it, so I became the coach directly. It turns out that the relationship is so extraordinary. ”
Xu Chu was also unconvinced by Sima Yi, he had always only been ordered by the head of the Cao family, and now he was under his command.
Xu Chu has been the head of the Cao family all his life, protecting his left and right. But when Cao Pi became the lord, Xu Chu was no longer allowed to get close to the lord. Cao Pi did not trust these generals with foreign surnames. Xu Chu also had no complaints, after all, the two heads of the Cao family failed to protect themselves, so what kind of face did they have, and they were close to the left and right. It's still a battlefield fight, but it's the rest of your life.
It doesn't matter if Xu Huang is the boss, whoever is the coach is the same. Regarding the private words of the soldiers in the army, Xu Huang also reminded them that they should no longer talk about the commander.
Sima Yi naturally knew about these rumors in the army, but he didn't care about it. He drove his horse forward and looked at Xu Huang on the side, "General Xu, it is my first time to fight as the commander-in-chief, and there are still many things I don't understand, and I still need more guidance from you." ”
Xu Huang: "I will do my best. ”
The scout in front rode forward, "Report! In front of it, it was Shangyong County, and there were soldiers guarding the border. ”
"Arrived?" Sima Yi said lightly, "Let's go down to the village first." ”
Cao Jun was not far from Shangyong County and camped in the village.
For what Sima Yi did, some soldiers in the army ridiculed him, "This person really doesn't know how to fight, our army is new, and at this time, Liu Jun's territory is definitely not ready to defend, because he will take advantage of the situation to attack and seize a few cities first." ”
"Say no more, lest you be heard."
Xu Huang was looking for Sima Yi at this time to express his opinions on this battle. After all, for the other party, there is still a little uneasy, Cao Wei has been losing battles in recent years, the Great Wei army is unstable, and the world conquered by Cao Gong cannot be gone.
Inside the tent
Sima Yi was looking at the map on the shore, his eyes blank, not knowing whether to think or be in a daze.
"Governor." Xu Huang shouted.
Sima Yi came back to his senses, "What's the matter with the general?" ”
Xu Huang said: "Our army is new, we should attack and go, and take advantage of Liu Jun's failure to react in time, and win first." ”
Sima Yi said: "Forget it first, let's guard it first." ”
"It's useless to defend, and it's best to attack." Xu Huang said that at this time, he found that although the other party had asked him politely before, he actually insisted on going his own way, which was difficult.
"Du Du Ke!" When there was a shout outside, everyone heard the sound and knew who it was.
Xu Chu rushed out into the camp, "I am the vanguard, go to fight Liu Jun." After your reinforcements arrived, they went all the way to Chengdu! Xu Chu pleaded.
Xu Huang looked at him and wanted to tell him that it was useless. But compared to this, I'm a little worried about Sima Yi now, worried that he rejected Xu Chu, Xu Chu won't mess around with him, right?
Sima Yi smiled, "Okay! Shogun Yuya! Then hand it over to the general and go for the vanguard. I'll send reinforcements behind! Help the general return with a big victory! ”
Xu Huang was stunned, and the whole person was stupid. I asked for my life just now, but the other party refused. How did Xu Chu ask for his life, and he agreed directly. Why?
Xu Chu was overjoyed, "I'll go!" ”
Xu Chu rushed out to dispatch troops and horses to prepare for battle. Xu Huang watched him leave, unclear in his heart, and looked at Sima Yi, "Dudu? I don't understand what it means? ”
"General, please be seated." Sima Yi said. "Listen to me slowly."
Xu Huang sat down from the order and looked at Sima Yi, and the doubts in his eyes seemed to be about to fly out.
Sima Yi said: "When I first arrived here, there were many rumors in the army, thank you for the general's actions." ”
Xu Huang said: "This is a matter of duty, no need to thank you." ”
"Does the general know, who will be the guard?" Sima Yi asked.
"Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide." Xu Huang said sharply.
Sima Yi smiled slightly, "Yes, what does the general have of opinion on this person?" ”
"This person looks brave and unscrupulous on the surface, but in fact, he has a strategy and should not be underestimated." Xu Huang said that he had fought with the other party many times and suffered losses, so he knew it well.
"I've heard the general's words. Therefore, in this battle, General Xu Chu will be defeated. General Xu Chu is impulsive, if I don't follow my words, I am afraid that it will not be good to command afterwards, it is better to let him lose first, frustrate his spirit, and then I can command well. Sima Yi said.
"And General Xu Huang will have a fierce battle with Zhang Fei, and then they will retreat regardless of victory or defeat. But Zhang Fei will be more cautious next, and this place will be more difficult to break. Sima Yi explained again.
Xu Huang seemed to understand that the other party was the head coach at the beginning and did not have a prestige. If you want a veteran like Xu Chu to rebel against him, the rest of the soldiers will follow, and he may not be able to persuade him at that time. It's just that if you obey it on the surface, you will be unconvinced in your heart, which is not conducive to the military situation.
Xu Huang asked, "Governor, what can I do?" ”
Sima Yi said: "General Xu Chu has already gone to war, so he will decide the beginning of this battle. General Ru, don't fight with Zhang Fei, otherwise please be cautious in dealing with the whole battle. You went to attack Fangling County, one of the three counties, to distract Zhang Fei. ”
"This is handed over to me, Zhang Fei knows that I am fighting for the first time, and I must be careless. There is also Xu Chu fighting, and he will definitely relax his vigilance. Underestimating the enemy, the first plan in the world. I only have this chance. After all, in the future, everyone in the world will be terrified of me. ”
After Xu Huang heard this, he found that he had also fallen for his plan to underestimate the enemy. This person is not an ordinary person. The depth of the strategy penetrates into the bone marrow. By the time they found out, there was no way back. If you can find it yourself, that's because the other party wants him to find out.
"The last general commands!" Xu Huang responded, and then went out to prepare.
Sima Yi watched Xu Huang leave and sighed. "I can't."
In this battle, Sima Yi did not bring any of his own people over. Don't dare to bring it, inexplicable characters may be exposed. On the surface, the people sent by Cao Pi to accompany the army were all generals with foreign surnames, but all of them were loyal to the Great Wei. Asked about this battle afterwards, Cao Pi felt strange, even if he didn't say it on the surface, he had a conclusion in his heart, and his future opportunities would probably be broken.
Xu Huang is the only person who can be discussed, this person is sensible and knowledgeable. Cao Pi asked afterwards that this person would not say anything unfavorable to him. He is a general who does not invite merit for victory, and says that others are good. Cao Pi is not Cao Cao, and he has a clear distinction about everything. Cao Pi really believed those gossips.
"Xu Gongming is also a loyal minister, and I only believe in loyal ministers." Sima said to himself, "It's good to keep a hand, sixth brother." ”
