It is said that Cao Rengui is the head of the generals of the Cao Group, but his reputation in the world is not as good as that of a strong general in the army. For example, the Dian Wei and Xiahou brothers, even compared to Cao Hong, who has always been known for his fiery personality and lifeless style, they are also slightly insufficient.

But this does not mean that Cao Ren's talent is inferior to these people, in Cao Cao's words, that is, Cao Ren has the most valuable ability of a martial artist - the ability to command!

It is said that Cao Ren not only governs the army strictly, but also is good at training and arranging troops, and his subordinates are all elite troops. And Cao Ren leads by example in everything, rewards and punishments are clear, and all the soldiers in the army are respectful. Cao Cao even regarded him as a hero like Han Xin!

Cao Cao has always attached great importance to the combat strength of the army under his command, so as long as it is a period of non-ceasing, a training competition will be held every quarter, that is, each general will lead their own deployment to simulate offensive and defensive operations. Cao Ren has always achieved the first place, but to say that, what has surprised Cao Cao in recent years is the discovery of the ability of the forbidden general. It is said that Yu Ban has gradually gained a place under Cao Jun in recent years as he has continued to make meritorious achievements, and later participated in several training competitions, all of which were ranked among the top three.

Speaking of the latest time, Yu Ban passed all the way and entered the finals, facing Cao Ren. At that time, Yu Ban drew the defender, and Cao Ren drew the attacker. Originally, Cao Cao still had a lot of civil and military skills, but they all thought that Yu Ban was still inexperienced after all, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to compare with Cao Ren who had Han Xin's talent in terms of talent, so this would be a game without suspense.

How do you know that Yu Ban held his position, let Cao Renjun provoke him, he just refused to fight, Cao Ren also tried several times, seeing that Yu Ban Army had no flaws, and he didn't dare to send troops lightly, that's it, just when everyone thought that the game would end in a few hours, it turned out that a day passed like this. Everyone felt that it was boring, and some even began to satirize the ban, but Cao Cao was secretly amazed by the ban.

On the second day, as soon as Cao Ren's formation was settled, he first launched a surprise attack with his cavalry. Yu Ban used shield soldiers in front of the camp as a barrier, and when he saw the cavalry killing, he taught the two wings of the archers to shoot it. Unexpectedly, Cao Renjun's cavalry suddenly bypassed, and the rear suddenly made a loud killing, but it was Cao Ren who transferred the transfer, charged with shield soldiers, and pikemen responded behind. Yu Ban's reaction was also fast, and he immediately ordered a quick retreat.

When the soldiers saw that they were retreating from the forbidden battle and abandoned their positions, they all laughed and scolded. Cao Cao saw that he was deliberately withdrawing his troops out of forbiddenness, that is, waiting for Cao Ren's deployment to launch a charge, and to urgently occupy the camp he abandoned before launching a surprise killing.

At this time, Cao Ren's order fell again, and with the sound of gold, those cavalry who had bypassed immediately turned to pursue. It turned out that Cao Ren also saw Yu Ban's strategy, and soon had a countermeasure. Seeing this, Yu Ban couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly assigned a shield soldier to stop it, and he quickly mixed up with Cao Ren's cavalry. Soon after, Cao Ren's assault troops rushed into the camp, and Yu Ban really led his troops back and stormed the camp. The two sides began to fight fiercely, and the battle was particularly fierce. Seeing this, the generals couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, but it was the first time they saw someone who actually made Cao Ren fight so hard, but later Cao Ren's cavalry successfully broke through and killed the forbidden army to make trouble. Taking advantage of the chaos in the forbidden army, Cao Ren quickly led the elite to launch a surprise attack, and finally succeeded in besieging Yu Ban and winning the game.

Cao Ren's victory was naturally well deserved, but Yu Ban's outstanding performance also managed to win the respect of Cao Jun. After the game, Cao Cao was even more overjoyed, so he allocated a separate part to him under the command of Ban Dian Wei, and distributed it to the recruits, so that he could first build an army of 3,000 people.

It can be seen from this that martial artists do not only rely on martial arts to get ahead, but most of the famous historical generals who have been able to win more with less and win undefeated for a long time in history have the ability to command. And Cao Cao also attaches great importance to this, and judging from the fact that Cao Ren wins every training competition, it is enough to prove that sometimes the talent of command is more valuable than the courage of a general!

It is precisely because of Cao Cao's attention that all the officers and men of Cao's army have begun to learn strategic formations, arranging troops, and how to manage the army and train troops. Cao Cao was also very pleased with this, and at the same time believed that in a few years, he would have an army that was invincible enough to dominate the world!

And Cao Cao understands this transformation very well, Cao Ren has a credit that cannot be ignored, so he also promoted him to the general of Huben, and gave him the power to mobilize any army of the Cao Group, and his status is high enough to be comparable to Cao Cao himself!

I don't have to say much about it. said that Cao Ren summed up Xun Yu and Xun You's words at the moment. Cao Cao said with a smile: "As Zixiao said, this Ma Xi can see the situation clearly, and this skill is also one of the reasons why he has been able to survive so far and create today's foundation for the Ma family." And for my Cao family, it is also a hundred benefits and no disadvantages. The plan that Boning said is also in line with my heart, but if it is to be successful, I still have to wait for one person. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao laughed suddenly. Everyone was secretly surprised, and they were all figuring out Cao Cao's thoughts. Only the uncle and nephew of the Xun family, silently looked at each other, and seemed to have guessed.

Time passed like a white horse, and soon seven or eight days passed. And Ma Xi has been back in Yanzhou for almost a month.

On this day, Cao Cao was discussing the details of political affairs and military affairs with a group of civil and military officials, and since that day, Cao Cao has not talked about the alliance with Ma Xi, and many people have begun to forget about it.

At this moment, a secret letter suddenly came from a meteor horse. Cao Cao couldn't help but look shocked, immediately stopped the seat, and ordered people to come over from left and right. Soon the secret letter came to Cao Cao's hands, Cao Cao was very excited, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha~!! Chen Gongtai deserves to be the 'king of Mou'! This time, I thought about it! ”

Cao Cao's laughter was together, and everyone listened to him talk about Lu Bu's military advisor Chen Gong, and they all secretly changed color, but they were confused for a while, without the slightest clue.

At this time, Xun Yu got up and bowed to Cao Cao, and said with a smile: "If your subordinates' guess is correct, this Chen Gongtai must have first wantonly explained the power of Na Ma Xi in his letter, and then used General Xiahou's matter to provoke him to persuade the lord to secretly unite with Lu Bu. But on the surface, he promised an alliance with Ma Xi. But when it came to the critical time of the Yanzhou war, he inserted a knife in Na Ma Xi's back to help his master break through Yanzhou. At that time, the land of Yanzhou will be divided equally by the Cao and Lu families. ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but show a different color when he heard this, and exclaimed, "How can Wen Ruo know so much detail? ”

Hearing this, Xun Yu smiled slightly, cast a look at Xun Yu next to him, and said with a smile: "Regarding this matter, I have been discussing this matter with my nephew for several days, and this is also the result of me and him for a few days. ”

As soon as Xun Yu's words came out, the civil and military cadres under the command of the Cao family couldn't help but show admiration for Xun's uncle and nephew, and even some people regarded this pair of uncles and nephews who were like gods as heavenly people.

"I see, then it seems that the battle of Yanzhou is imperative." Two bright rays of light burst out from Cao Cao's details. Xun Yu's face tightened when he heard this, and said, "This is not necessarily. ”

Cao Cao was obedient, immediately narrowed his eyes, and said, "How do you say this?" ”

"But don't forget, now that the ghost genius Guo Jia has returned to Ma Xi's command, this person is unfathomable, and his intelligence is really rare. What's more, with him giving advice to Ma Xi, then Ma Xi can devote his energy wholeheartedly to the battlefield, and such Ma Xi is also terrifying. ”

"You mean, Lu Bu has no chance in the battle of Yanzhou?" Cao Cao's expression immediately tightened, and his eyes immediately became sharp, and he met Xun Yu's eyes. Xun Yu then sank and said, "I can't say for sure about the war of the soldiers." But for now, I think it's best to wait and see. But if there is a chance, we will plan and attack Yanzhou, but if not, it is better to sell a favor to Na Maxi to alleviate the grievances between the two families. ”

Cao Cao was obedient and couldn't help sighing, although Xun Yu didn't directly pick it out, he had already heard that Xun Yu was more inclined to Ma Xi for the winner of Ma and Lu.

So Cao Cao complied with Xun Yu's construction, first waited and watched the changes, and agreed to the alliance proposed by Ma and Lu.

Immediately, half a month later, Lu Bu, who had been in Ruyin, finally sent troops to Yanzhou. In other words, as Xun's uncle and nephew expected, Yuan Shu gave Lu Bu great support, not only gave Lu Bu nearly thousands of loads of grain for military use, but also allocated tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to Lu Bu to lead. Lü Bu plus the recruits and old troops recruited in Ruyin, the number of troops also numbered in the thousands, plus the army allocated by Yuan Shu, a total of more than 10,000 people, and they slaughtered to the border of Liang County in Yanzhou.

On the other side, Ma Zongheng had already prepared, he listened to Guo Jia's idea and was already in Liang County

Suiyang garrison based on troops, strengthen defense. Because of this, for Lu Bu's sudden attack, the Ma Jiajun not only did not appear to be in chaos, but was well prepared.

Immediately after seven or eight days, it is said that Lu Bu personally led the vanguard army, rushed all the way, and soon broke into the border of Yanzhou and went deep into the hinterland of Liang County. And Ma Zongheng inevitably caused Lu Bu to be angry with the people, and had already ordered the people in the border area of Liang County to take refuge. However, Ma Zongheng thought too much, although Lu Bu hated Ma Zongheng very much, he only wanted to save Diao Chan as much as he could, and he had no intention of harming the people at all. As for the follow-up army led by Chen Gong and Gao Shun respectively, they did not commit any crimes all the way.

It turned out that Chen Gong had specially instructed the generals of all departments at the beginning, after all, this attack on Yanzhou, presumably if Lu Bu could not get back his wife, it would be absolutely impossible to give up. Therefore, there is no doubt that this battle must be a fierce battle to the death. As a military advisor, Chen Gong naturally didn't want Lu Bu to lose a lot of troops and baggage, but it was just for a woman, which was not good for Lu Bu's prestige in the army. And once this battle is won, it is just right to use Yanzhou as a base, even if it is divided equally with Cao Jun, it is better than sending people under the fence and relying on people to breathe.

At this moment, Lu Bu had led a large army to approach Suiyang City dozens of miles away, and just when he was about to set up camp under the camp, suddenly the wind and sand rose, a group of horsemen rushed over, leading a general, wearing Huanglin Sun and Moon Heavy Armor, holding the Dragon Yan Yanyue Knife, also known as the 'Dragon Yan Saw', riding a horse with a red body like a flame, exuding an unparalleled killing aura, like a ghost on the battlefield, it was Ma Zongheng!

On the other side, I saw a person, wearing a Xichuan Baihua robe, black dragon scale armor, and an evil god head on his chest, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, sitting down on the red rabbit BMW, his eyes were like flames, looking at the rushing horse, even snorting, very violent, and the man who sat down on it, Huo Ran was the supreme martial artist in the world - Lu Fengxian also!

"The horse bandit who robbed his wife~~!!" At this time, when Lu Bu saw that it was Ma Zongheng, he couldn't help but be furious, glared and shouted angrily, slapped the red rabbit, raised the halberd and went out.

The generals under Lu Bu did not come back to their senses, and when they saw Lu Bu rushing over, they were all startled, and hurriedly rode their horses to catch up.

Seeing that Lu Bu was killing him violently, he replaced the others or was already frightened and fled. But Ma Zongheng was not afraid at all, and at the same time as he slapped Chiwu's instigation, he yelled angrily in his mouth: "Lu thief who takes advantage of people's danger~!! ”
