Jia Xu suggested asking Wenpin to intercept and kill Cao Shuo, and Zhang Xiu made a difficulty.

He frowned and said, "Wen Ping came to help on the order of Duke Jing Sheng, and I couldn't mobilize him at all." What's more, it is far more difficult to fight against Cao Zirong than besieging Ye County. ”

"The general seems to be very jealous of Cao Zirong?" Jia Xu asked.

"It's not a jealousy." Zhang Xiu didn't want to meet Cao Shuo on the battlefield in his heart, but he refused to admit it: "It's just that I'm a little uncomfortable with his tactics, and I want to wait until I understand it before I take him down in one fell swoop!" ”

"The general refused to meet Cao Zirong on the battlefield, so he had to ask Wen Ping to lead the troops." Jia Xu smiled slightly.

"But how can Wenpin be willing to listen to my transfer?" Zhang Xiu asked.

"Of course, Wen Ping refuses to listen to the general's transfer." Jia Xu said: "Invite him to besiege Ye County, and the general will meet Cao Zirong." ”

"I'm going to fight Cao Zirong?" Zhang Xiu was stunned: "But I ......"

Jia Xu didn't interrupt him, but Zhang Xiu shut up by himself.

He understood Jia Xu's intentions.

Wen Ping led the troops to Ye County, on the orders of Liu Biao, of course he refused to obey Zhang Xiu's dispatch.

Zhang Xiu asked him to besiege Ye County, and he would definitely speculate about his intentions.

has never played against Cao Shuo, Wen Ping must have taken it for granted that he is easier to deal with.

Otherwise, how could Zhang Xiu keep the difficult bones for himself and let the benefits be given to him?

"Jia Gong really has a clever plan." Zhang Xiu said: "I'll send someone to the Wenpin Army." ”

Since Cao Cao's defeat in Wancheng, Zhang Xiu's attack has not stopped for a moment.

Cao Hong led his troops to attack Zhang Xiu, but was repeatedly frustrated.

Liu Biao, who was far away in Jingzhou, had long had the intention of wooing Zhang Xiu.

Knowing that he had conquered Caojia City one after another, Liu Biao sent two generals, Wen Ping and Wei Yan, to lead 5,000 troops to help.

Although the two armies shared a common enemy, they rarely cooperated with each other.

The Jingzhou army did not occupy the city, but only came to the aid when Zhang Xiu's army was in a critical situation.

The news that Cao Shuo led his troops to help not only reached Zhang Xiu, but Wen Ping and Wei Yan were also rewarded.

The camp tent of the commander of the Jingzhou army.

Wen Ping sat at the top, and Wei Yan sat opposite him.

As the chief general, he is only in his early twenties.

Wei Yan, who went out with the army as a pioneer, was even two years younger than him.

The two of them, who have not been polished by the years, have a unique rebelliousness and unruliness between their eyebrows.

Their status in the Jingzhou army was not very high.

They were sent here just because Liu Biao was busy dealing with Sun Ce, who was entrenched in Jiangdong, and he refused to transfer the main general to the Central Plains battlefield at all.

"Cao Cao has sent reinforcements, and he will be able to arrive in Ye County tomorrow." Wen Ping asked Wei Yan, "What does Wen Chang think we should do?" ”

"But there are more than 3,000 people, I led the troops over to repel the Cao family's reinforcements in a snap of a finger." Wei Yan was born arrogant, not to mention that he was still a teenager at this time, and the arrogance in his bones made him almost look down on any enemy.

"Has Wen Chang ever heard of Cao Zirong?" Wen Ping asked.

"I heard about it when I was in Jingzhou." Wei Yan said: "It is said that he entered and exited Wancheng twice, with only a few hundred people, and ran around Zhang Xiudou, but there was no way to take him. ”

"If that's the case, he's still a little capable." Wen Ping said: "Zhang Xiu besieged Ye County, and Cao Jun reinforcements came, and he would definitely refuse to divide his troops. If I'm not mistaken, even today, he will definitely send someone to ask us to lead the troops to attack Cao Shuo. ”

"Jingsheng Gong asked the two of us to come here just to assist Zhang Xiu." Wei Yan said: "If he really came to ask, he had to agree!" ”

"Jingsheng Gong wants his territory." Wen Ping said: "If Zhang Xiu is too strong, how can he be willing to attach himself to Jingzhou? ”

"Brother Zhongye means ......," Wei Yan asked.

"We are not familiar with the Cao family, and we don't know who is strong and who is weak." Wen Ping said: "I brought 5,000 soldiers and horses here, of course I want to bring them back." Let's see what Zhang Xiu asks us to do, he wants us to attack Cao Zirong, and we help him besiege Ye County. There is a battle, let him fight it himself. ”

"We and Zhang Xiu are friendly allies of each other." Wei Yan said: "Will this be blamed by Jingsheng Gong?" ”

"If Zhang Xiu is willing to join Jingzhou, it will be nothing for us to help him go to fight." Wen Ping said: "But he didn't serve Jingsheng Gong, of course he has to fight by himself if there is a battle!" ”

Wei Yan didn't question it anymore.

Although he and Zhang Xiu are friendly allies, they have not yet become a family.

Unreserved help, on the contrary, will bring unnecessary trouble to themselves.

The two were discussing how to deal with Zhang Xiu's possible request, when the voice of Wen Ping's soldiers came from outside the tent: "General Qiqi, General Zhang sent a messenger." ”

"While he was talking about it, people came." Wen Ping pursed his lips at Wei Yan and instructed outside the tent: "Please ask the messenger to enter the account and speak." ”

Zhang Xiu and Wen Ping had their own thoughts, but Cao Shuo stationed his soldiers and horses hundreds of miles away from Ye County.

Cao Shuo stood in the gate, looking in the direction of Ye County.

Sima Yi stood behind him.

"Who does Zhong Da think will be the one who will meet our army?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Jingzhou Army." Sima Yi said without even thinking about it: "Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu's staff, is a well-known wise man. The chief general and deputy general of the Jingzhou Army are just two stinky boys, playing with their hearts, which of them are Jia Xu's opponents? ”

"Actually, I think so too." Cao Shuo smiled slightly, and asked Sima Yi again, "Have you heard of Wen Ping and Wei Yan?" ”

Sima Yi shook his head: "I never heard of them before rushing to Ye County. Sun Jian was shot and killed by Liu Biao's subordinate Huang Zu back then, since Sun Ce returned to Jiangdong, they have been fighting against each other, I think he has no generals to send, so I let these two people lead the troops! ”

"Wen Ping and Wei Yan are both fierce generals." Cao Shuo said: "Now they are young, and in another ten or twenty years, they are all powerful figures. ”

"Does Childe know how to calculate numerology?" Sima Yi said: "Two little-known little people, Gongzi can actually assert that they will make a difference in the future. ”

Cao Shuo muttered in his heart, my brother came over after two thousand years.

Not to mention being able to assert that they will make a difference in the future.

Even how they died, my brother knew very well.

Now that I have come to this era, I have changed some things, and I met these two people on the battlefield by mistake.

There are no fierce generals under his command, so it's a pity to kill them.

It's a serious matter to find a way to take them in!

"Zhang Xiu, Wen Ping and others know that it is me who leads the troops." Cao Shuo said: "Now that I hand over the military power to you, they will definitely suspect where I went." It's better to break the Jingzhou army first, capture Wen Ping and Wei Yan, and then you lead the troops into the city. ”

"When the Jingzhou army comes, how does Gongzi plan to fight this battle?" Sima Yi asked.

"What are your plans?" Cao Shuo asked rhetorically.

"Wen Ping and Wei Yan are both stinky boys, they must be arrogant." Sima Yi said: "When they come, it is better to show the enemy to introduce the valley with weakness and kill them cleanly." ”
