No. 530 Small People, Big Role 2
Cao Cao saw that Jin Hou made such a use of cavalry, so he took the initiative to put down his face and draw such advanced combat experience from a small general in Liu Bei's army. He intends to move some of the Haw Par Rides that he has been putting all his heart into moving in that direction.
For this reason, Cao Cao also gave a new term to this new cavalry method of warfare - 'ranger tactics'.
Jin Hou and 500 lightly armed cavalry attacked Cao Cao's control of Yuzhou, Liang, Chen, and part of Pei, and even Jiyin and Shanyang counties in Yanzhou.
However, I don't know why, Jin Hou did not lead this cavalry into Lu and Taishan County, especially Taishan County, Cao Cao originally expected that the Taishan County Taishou Lu Qian he appointed had Taishan elite soldiers in his hands, and he had already prepared, once Jin Hou's cavalry entered the territory of Taishan County, he must be annihilated here.
Jin Hou is not stupid, before he left Yizhou, Jin Jue met with him to pay attention to Cao Cao's generals, including Taishan County Taishou Lu Qian, this person has the ability, not fake, but he has no faith at all, you must be careful of him.
Therefore, Jin Hou did not lead his troops to attack Taishan County.
After this battle, Cao Cao arranged all the rising stars of the Cao family and the Xiahou family into the tiger and leopard ride, which had Cao Ren's younger brother Cao Chun, the eldest son Cao Tai, Xiahou Yuan's younger brother Xiahou Lian, the eldest son Xiahou Chong, Xiahou Yuan's eldest son Xiahou Heng, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, Xiahou Shang and his cousin Xiahou Ru also took the initiative to join the tiger and leopard cavalry to train this new cavalry combat method learned from Jin Hou.
And the reason why he did not invade Lu is because in the near future, Jin Hou is likely to lead his troops to attack Lu and does not want to leave a bad impression on the people of Lu State.
The sabotage warfare used by Jin Hou not only destroyed the grain transportation channel of Cao's army, but also destroyed all the farmland encountered by Jin Hou's headquarters on the long journey, as well as some water conservancy facilities.
This kind of tactics also has a very destructive effect on the livelihood of the people and the lives of the people in the affected counties.
In this raid, there was also a very unexpected episode.
When passing through Peiguo County, Jin Hou originally planned to lead his troops to attack Qiao County, and burned down the residences of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, first collecting the accounts for his son. It's a pity that Qian County doesn't know who is the county commander, this person is not only very vigilant and has been prepared for defense in advance, but also, according to Jin Hou's observation, this person is extremely good at defense, and when there are not many defenders in the county seat of Qian County, he actually makes the entire county seat of Qian County impermeable.
No, on the first night when the Jin Hou Department arrived outside the county seat of Qiaoxian, he was ready to rely on his light body, wanting to follow Jin Jue's method of almost capturing Caohan City back then, and use the Pancheng Suo to raid Qiaoxian County at night.
This is also the most daring siege battle of Jin Hou in this raid. Unfortunately, his luck was a little too bad, and as soon as he reached the city wall, he was discovered by one of the generals of the defenders.
Fortunately, the defending general himself was too panicked, and although he warned the other defenders in time, he did not have time to draw his weapon to attack Jin Hou. Jin Hou was able to find a gap and took the initiative to climb the city rope and slip down the city wall. Before leaving, Jin Hou shook the other party's sleeve arrow very angrily. This unsung hero, who made great contributions to both Qian County and Cao Jun, was directly shot in the throat by this sleeve arrow, and was shot dead on the spot.
When he returned to the barracks, what Jin Hou didn't expect was that although he did not successfully attack the city of Qiaoxian, he got an unexpected joy - one of his subordinates, no, it should be said that Cao Lan's soldiers were in the tun, Cao Lan's cronies were named Cao Dou, and he actually robbed a little girl surnamed Xiahou outside the city for Jin Hou.
Because Cao Dou had seen this little girl from the Xiahou family, he robbed her to the army.
Later, Jin Hou specially found a local woman, and through a detailed interrogation of the little girl, he learned that her nickname was Cao'er, she was only ten years old this year, and she was Xiahou Yuan's niece.
It is said that whether it is the Xiahou clan or the Cao clan, all the people in the family should be taken to live in Xudu, but this little girl who went out of the city to pick wood by herself stayed at home for some reason.
Later, when he returned to Xiapi, Jin Hou asked Cao Lan to understand that this little girl from the Xiahou family had the same background as Cao Lan, and the so-called niece was just a concubine born from Xiahou Yuan's brother or younger brother who was born from the family. If it was the children born to his wife, they would naturally have all been taken to Xu Du to enjoy the blessings.
However, no matter what, this little girl has always been surnamed Xiahou, and this cannot be changed.
So, Jin Hou gave Cao Lan a very important task, and said: "Cao Lan, if you want to change your surname to Hou, General Ben can call the shots, but if you want to change your surname to Jin, General Ben can't be the master." Now there is a good opportunity, just to be able to fulfill your wish, you escort this little girl to Yizhou in person.
Whether you can meet Childe in person or not, just give this letter to the person who receives you, and soon you will get a reply from Childe. Cao Lan, what do you think of General Ben's suggestion? ”
"Thank you, General!" Cao Lan was naturally very happy about Jin Hou's arrangement, and immediately knelt in front of Jin Hou, kowtowed three times, and replied very gratefully.
Through the observation of the past three years, Cao Lan knows very well in her heart that in this world, if someone can defeat Cao Cao, avenge Cao Lan, and kill Cao Yu, I am afraid that only two people can do it, one is Yuan Shao, in the world today, among the princes of various places, only he is the strongest, and one surname monopolizes the land of Sanzhou.
The second is Jin Jue, who regards Cao Cao as an enemy who does not share the sky.
Outsiders don't know, but the top management of Cao Jun knows that according to the speculation of Cao Cao's military advisors, Jin Jue may now occupy a large area of Yizhou's territory, and judging from the past achievements, the large and small forces in Yizhou are not Jin Jue's opponents at all. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before Jin Jue captures Yizhou.
The son of a small family with no foundation also suffered an injury that damaged his image, but even in such a bad situation, Jin Jue still did not give up on himself and gave up his heart of revenge, he was already about to become a prince who occupied the territory of a state in just three years, how could this not be shocked by Cao Lan, who was shocked when he heard about this?
"Cao Lan, since you promised to come down, you must take care of this little girl on the road. By the way, if you see Childe, don't have any bad thoughts! ”
