Chapter 14: Cao Cao's Sigh
Two days later, Cao Cao's army finally arrived in Xuzhou. The life-and-death battle between the two heroes of the Central Plains, the wise general Cao Cao and the god of war Lu Bu, is about to begin. Cao Cao came here in order to deal with Lu Bu's wolf cavalry, and the tiger and leopard cavalry were all changed to the equipment of 'double horse pedals' and 'war swords', and there was still a crossbow battalion (that is, Zhuge crossbow) that had just been formed, and even the Beiwei army whose training had not been completed was also brought forward to exterminate Lu Bu, Cao Cao could be regarded as full of strength.
Cao Ang understood what Cao Cao meant, and was secretly grateful in his heart, which was to block Lu Bu's offensive and prevent the vanguard army from being damaged.
The fire passed, the weather was getting cooler, since Cao Cao came, the two sides have not officially clashed, Cao Cao just ordered strict vigilance and resting the soldiers, but Cao Ang understood that Cao Cao would not give up so easily, his father must be planning with his advisers, of course, this is not known to him.
Later, Cao Cao personally went to Xiaopei to visit Xiahou Dan, and also met Liu Bei, when Liu Bei visited Cao Cao, it was a bit tragic, at this time Cao Cao already knew everything that happened in the battle of Juye, but the matter was done by his son, Cao manipulated it was dissatisfied, and it was difficult to send it, so he had to personally help him up when Liu Bei wanted to pay a big salute, showing respect, and the two held hands and talked for a long time. Cao Ang couldn't help but sigh after knowing it, if there was nothing to do in the prosperous world of Qingping, these two people might become irreversible friends, but the world makes people, born in troubled times, I don't know whether it is the luck or misfortune of these two heroes to fight, and they are half-life enemies.
I don't know what the two said, when Cao Cao personally sent Liu Bei out of Xiaopei Yazhong, Liu Bei's face was like tears and he sighed. Tomorrow will be the seventh day of the month. On this day, the temperature had dropped suddenly, the sky was slightly overcast, the cool breeze was bleak, Cao Cao was in good spirits, silently stared at Liu Bei after walking away, suddenly turned his head, and said to Cao Ang, who had been waiting outside: "Come in with me." β
After entering, I saw Cao Cao sitting firmly on the top, taking a sip of warm water, and said slowly: "What is the head of the first army?" Cao Ang said solemnly when he heard this: "I am the leader of the general." β
"Yes, a soldier is like a body, and a handsome is a head. From the moment Yuan Rang was injured, you were the commander of the vanguard army this time, tens of thousands of living beings are in your hands, how can you be careless with your tricks? β
Cao Ang sighed lightly: "The child knows his mistakes, the father teaches, and the child should keep it in mind." In this matter, the child has 'cut his hair and acted as the head' to make amends to Liu Gong. Cao Cao bowed his head when he heard this: "It's also a shame for your prudence." As for that Gao Shun, what are you going to do? β
Cao Ang heard the words and said: "Although Gao Shun is pedantic and hurt Uncle Xiahou, he is a person with excellent skills and loyalty, and the child hopes that his father can give me some time." β
"The trapped camp he commanded in the past has injured many soldiers of our army, and many of the generals in the army have suffered from Gao Shun, if they don't kill them, how can they explain to the three armies?" Listening to Cao Cao's faint answer, Cao Ang hurriedly said: "Talent is rare, I hope my father will give him a chance." The child will find a way to persuade him"
was silent for a long time, but heard Cao Cao say lightly: "Whatever you want." After speaking, Cao Cao squinted his eyes and looked around, pointed to the north and said, "Open that window." After Cao Ang opened, Cao Cao said: "In the past, when I began to raise filial piety, the world was in turmoil, the imperial court recruited my father to join the army, and was named a military captain. β
Cao Ang was curious, and he didn't know why Cao Cao said this, but he suddenly heard his words: "You recently fought in Xuzhou, what kind of person do you think Lu Bu is?" Cao Ang pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said: "Lu Bu is very brave and martial, and he is good at commanding troops. β
Cao Cao smiled: "Lu Bu can't be enclosed by the word 'male', it should be regarded as 'Jie'." Cao Ang was puzzled when he heard this: "Father, Lu Buqi is despised by the loyal and righteous people in the world, he betrayed the Lord twice to kill his father, killed Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, and the world called it 'violent, ruthless, and cruel', but whoever is 'Jie' is not a gentleman, spurned by villains, Lu Bu, how can he be said to be 'Jie'?" β
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "If you can say that, you can also be regarded as having the three flavors of the world." But it can only be said that when the world is peaceful, if in troubled times, the great loyalty is like the traitor, and the great hypocrisy is like the truth, why are there so many? 'When Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and courteous', how should the world distinguish? There is no perfect person in the world, a gentleman and a thief, can not be determined at one time, when the current situation is also Lu Bu this person, a good horse at a young age, a weak crown when the reputation will resound throughout the five plains, if the filial piety emperor rules the world, when Wei Qing, Huo to the disease of the hero, alas, pity, pity. β
When Cao Ang heard Cao Cao's intentions, he seemed to have a sense of pity, but since Cao Cao felt this way, it can be seen that he is already confident about breaking Lu Bu. I saw Cao Cao raise his head, look at the two swords on the table, and suddenly said: "Zixiu, you go to the case to get a sword, dance, and take a look." β
Although Cao Ang was puzzled, but also took the order, gently picked up a sword on the table, and waved it seriously, although he was not very familiar with the way of the sword, but because of his hard work, the dance was also good, Cao Cao silently looked at Cao Ang dancing the sword, his eyes seemed to flicker with a hint of brilliance, after the dance was young, only to hear Cao Cao suddenly say: "Lu Bu died, the principle of neutrality is one less warrior, Hu Lu is one less fierce enemy, but he has to die." β
Cao Ang finally understood what Cao Cao was sighing, he was lamenting the helplessness of the world, lamenting the unsatisfactory and desolate world. When I was young, I saw Cao Cao suddenly say: "Zixiu, the heavy responsibility of guarding the Central Plains in the future can only be a matter of your generation." Cao Ang said solemnly: "No, the world still needs my father to guard it." β
Cao Cao shook his head with a smile, and then pointed to the sword in Cao Ang's hand and said: "These two swords, the one on the case is Yitian, and the one in your hand is Qingyu, both of which are the treasures of the father... Today, this Qingyu sword will be passed on to you, don't lose the reputation of the champion Hou, in the future, it will be inserted in the land outside the north and west of the Han desert, this is the most wanted by my father in his life, but he can't do it. β
Cao Ang immediately thanked him, and then was silent for a long time, and said: "Father, the child believes that Yitian will also go out of the fortress with the army and insert it into the land of the foreign captives. When Cao Cao heard this, he rarely smiled, and the laughter was very different from ordinary days, and there was a magnificent momentum
Five days later, Cao's army finally began to advance towards Xuzhou, and Cao Cao left Xiahoudun to guard Xiaopei to recuperate from his wounds, and sent Cao Ren to guard it. The army tun and the northern front, and ordered Cao Hong to hold the right tun, near Surabaya, and Lu Bu's army from afar. However, in the army, Cao Ang did not see Xiahou Yuan, Yu Ban and Xu Huang, and when asked about Guo Jia, the prodigal son only blinked lightly, and then smiled: "General, please guess." β
Cao Cao did not tell Cao Ang his plan, but only gave him a battle report: LΓΌ Bu led 50,000 Chinese troops in the center, so that Zhang Liao led 10,000 soldiers to the front, Cheng Lian led 10,000 soldiers to the rear, and Wei continued to lead the first army to face Cao Hong, the general of Cao's army's right camp. In the war report, there is no information worth thinking about.
Wei Xu's military camp - "General, do you want to report this matter to Wen Hou, and ask Chen Junshi to make a decision?" Song Xian looked at Wei Xu, who was squinting, and asked, Wei Xu squinted his eyes and looked into the distance like a wolf: "No need!" Chen Yuanlong's words today are very much in line with my intentions! Why bother asking Chen Gong about everything! β
During the day, Chen Deng was ordered to escort grain and grass to Wei Xu's account, and once offered him a plan to attack Cao Hong's military camp to make great contributions. As Lu Bu's wife, Wei Xu had long been dissatisfied with Chen's position, and after thinking about it, he wanted to enter the army.
Seeing Song Xian's doubts, Wei Xu got up and said with a smile: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and Wen Hou must be consulted for everything, that is, if you shirk the responsibility and Wen Hou in everything, you will delay the fighter." That's the way of a mediocre general, so what's the use of me waiting? β
Then he saw Wei Xu raise his head and said: "At this time, where Cao Jun's eyes are, they are all Wen Hou, and they will not pay attention to us." The general of the enemy's right tun is Cao Cao's brother Cao Hong, a fool who climbed up by nepotism, if I go in person, I only need one blow, I can defeat him, and then lead the army to set up a village on the back of the river, quickly go south, and go straight to the flank of Cao Cao's army, with the ability of Wen Hou, it will be able to attack head-on, even if Cao Cao can't be caught, it can also make the enemy lose their souls, so Xuzhou is worry-free! β
Seeing that Wei Xu was so contemptuous of the world at this time, he actually had the style of Lu Bu, and Song Xian's heart was also secretly moved, perhaps, this is a good opportunity for the two of them to make great achievements? From now on, he Song Xian may also be able to beat Zhang Liao and rank first among the eight strong generals?
Seeing Song Xian's intentions, Wei Xu hurriedly said: "I am responsible for this matter, if you don't dare, then I will be responsible for the victory or defeat, and I Wei Xu will take the guilt, there is merit, and there should be a share of General Song!" β
Song Xian was aroused by Wei Xu: "What did the general say? This matter is settled, so I am jointly responsible with the general, and I should be half of Song Xian if I am guilty! β
ββββ
In Lu Bu's army-"Wen Hou, I heard that Xu Huang has sent troops to take Rencheng, and he is afraid that Hao Meng and Xu Yan are not his opponents, so he is willing to help." Hearing this, Lu Bu glanced at Chen Deng lightly, waved his hand, and said, "In this case, go ahead." Remember, keep Xiao Pass, and when I break Cao Cao on this side, I will help each other. Chen Deng then said: "In this way, Deng has taken his leave, Wen Hou must be careful," After speaking, he saw that Chen Deng's eyes seemed to flash a little smile, and then he retreated, and there was no sound in the tent.
