【193】Battle of Guandu (I)
Ma Xiaoquan will not be able to build the stone car, but Cao Cao will.
Cao Cao tinkered with engineering institutions when he was young, so Cao Cao confidently took over the construction of the stone wheel.
Two days later, Cao Cao, whose eyes were red, showed Ma Xiaoquan the pattern of the stone cart.
After taking the pattern, Ma Xiaoquan looked at it and secretly admired it in his heart.
Cao Cao is really a top talent, although the stone cart is not a sophisticated machine, but if the design is not good, it will fall apart without a few stones.
Cao Cao proposed a framework of using tripods to stabilize dìng and push forward with wheeled vehicles, and it was indeed a lot of hard work.
"Hmm~~ Xiao Cao, your stone cart design is good, okay, then so be it, according to this look, let's get 1 car first."
Cao Cao nodded, and ordered his subordinates to step up the construction according to the style on the drawings.
Three days later, the first stone truck was born.
Cao Cao couldn't wait to pull it to the battlefield for testing, and invited the immortal master Ma Xiaoquan to be the overseer.
After a qiē was ready, he only heard Cao Cao's voice: "Release!" ”
Immediately afterwards, four strong soldiers pulled the rope vigorously, and the large stones on the stone cart were thrown.
The stones made a "whirring" sound in the air, and before Yuan Shaojun could react, the stones smashed into a well.
With a "boom", the well was smashed into a big hole by a large stone, and smashed into Yuan Jun with sawdust and gravel.
Suddenly, the crying and shouting rang out.
Seeing this, Yuan Shao hurriedly ordered the soldiers to go to other wells and fight back with flying arrows.
Cao Cao hid behind the big shield and laughed: "Idiot, Lao Tzu's stone cart has a much longer range than your archers, and you want to hit me?" No way? ”
After all, Cao Cao was not greedy for merit, and after only throwing one shot, Cao Cao ordered his subordinates to withdraw the stone cart.
After Mingjin withdrew his troops, Cao Cao was so unhappy: "Lord Shangxian, do you see it, I can't say anything about my toughness, it's too powerful." ”
Ma Xiaoquan snorted coldly and poured Cao Cao's cold water: "What are you happy about, if the stone cart is approached, do you think these stone carts are still useful?" ”
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and stopped talking.
Indeed, what the Immortal Lord said is right, although the stone cart is powerful, but the mobility is insufficient, once it is approached, it will also be ruined.
Cao Cao smiled: "The stone cart has a long range, I don't think it will be approached." ”
"How can there be a time when you will not lose the battle, if you run away, although the stone cart has wheels, but it is not maneuverable, if it is captured by the enemy, at that time, you will return the favor to the other way, Xiao Cao, do you want this?"
Cao Cao shook his head: "What should I do then?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan said: "It's simple, before you escape, destroy it, of course, this is also a way to quench your thirst from far water, but it can be delayed for a while." ”
Cao Cao snorted and agreed with Lord Shangxian's statement
With the experience of building stone trucks, the construction speed of the later stone trucks was much faster, and after 6 days, 5 more stone trucks were released.
Cao Cao sent non-stop to the actual battle, and sure enough, he achieved very good results.
After a bombardment, Yuan's well was smashed and smashed, and Yuan's soldiers were also killed and injured due to panic and the splashing effect of stones.
Yuan Jun's scouting horse reported the news of the stone cart built by Cao Cao to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao sighed: Cao Cao is really difficult, that stone cart is really a thunderbolt.
Since then, Yuan Shaojun has called the stone cart a thunderbolt car
The well was no longer usable, and Yuan Shao came up with another way.
When he fought against Gongsun Chan, Yuan Shao had dug tunnels to break through Gongsun Chan's fortified city, and this time, Yuan Shao planned to reuse the tunnel tactics.
However, Cao Cao is not Gongsun Zhan, not to mention, now by Cao Cao's side, there is also an immortal master Ma Xiaoquan who understands history.
"Look, Lord Immortal"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "It's simple, you just dig a long trench horizontally!" ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he did as he said.
Sure enough, Yuan Jun happily thought that he was going to dig through the soles of Cao Jun's feet, but he didn't expect to get through it, it turned out that Cao Jun had already dug a long trench and was waiting for them.
As soon as Yuan Jun appeared, he got a spear and a bow and arrows.
This time, Yuan's army was defeated again
On the surface, Cao Cao always seemed to be victorious, but after all, Cao Cao had few soldiers and not much food, and after Cao Yuan and Yuan fought several battles, Cao Jun's soldiers defected a lot because of fatigue and lack of military food.
At night, Cao Cao was very annoyed and lost his temper in the tent.
None of his generals dared to step forward to dissuade him.
Guo Jia snorted at Ma Xiaoquan, meaning that you are an immortal, Brother Ma, you are an immortal, and you will not dare to say anything when you speak.
Ma Xiaoquan said in his heart: Damn, it stands to reason that Xun Yu should be out of the queue to dissuade him at this time, damn, you guys, always make fun of Lao Tzu, and think of beauty.
After thinking about it, Ma Xiaoquan opened his mouth and said: "Xiao Cao, Wen Ruo may have a good Jianyi!" ”
Cao Cao was angry because there were too many deserters, and when he heard that Lord Shangxian said that Xun Yu had a building, he hurriedly said with a pleasant face: "Xun Yu, he is still in Xuchang!" ”
Although Cao Cao said this, he still wrote a fast horse letter to Xun Yu in Xuchang.
After reading the letter of the lord Cao Cao, Xun Yu said in his heart: These days, Guo Jia has been by the lord's side to give advice to the lord, because I have to guard Xuchang, I don't have a chance to speak, this time it's okay, Lord Shangxian personally recommended himself, so no matter what, I have to give the lord a good idea.
Xun Yu made up his mind and immediately wrote: "Lord Mingjian, in the past, Emperor Gaozu and the overlord of Chu competed for the world, and it was also the overlord of Chu who was strong and strong, but why did Emperor Gaozu achieve the final victory later, the reason is very simple, that is"
Xun Yu wrote an article about the elder one freely, and then returned to Cao Cao with satisfaction.
After reading Xun Yu's letter, Cao Cao regained his confidence, and at the same time, Cao Cao was also very grateful to Lord Shangxian.
And Ma Xiaoquan smiled and waved his hand, and Cao Cao could ask Jia Xu's opinion again.
Sure enough, Jia Xu also gave Cao Cao full support and affirmation.
Cao Cao asked Ma Xiaoquan again, and Ma Xiaoquan's answer to Cao Cao was: Opportunity, come immediately.
Sure enough, as Lord Shangxian said, the opportunity really came
In October of the fifth year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty (200 AD), Yuan Shao sent his troops to transport grain and grass to the front line of Han Meng.
Han Meng is as his name suggests, he is very fierce, Cao Cao surrounded him in the middle, he could break through, but Han Meng was very light on the enemy, and he only cared about fighting Cao Cao, but he completely forgot his original duty.
In this way, the grain and grass that Han Meng was in charge of were burned by Cao Cao.
After Yuan Shao got the news of Han Meng's defeat, he scolded his mother angrily, and in desperation, he had to send Chun Yuqiong to transport grain to Wuchao.
This time, Yuan Shaoxue was smart, he gave Chun Yuqiong more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and ordered him to guard the black nest well, and if he lost, he came to see him with his head.
Strategist Xu Youjian yì, it is better to take this opportunity to send another team of men and horses to attack Xuchang.
Yuan Shao glanced at Xu You: "You damn it, Lao Tzu just sent down a three-foot long rope to tie Cao Apu, you came up with such a bad idea again, go out!" ”
Xu You was blasted out by Yuan Shao.
Coincidentally, at this time, Xu You's family was arrested again in Yecheng for breaking the law.
Xu You was angry, and had no choice but to make up his mind to take refuge in Cao Cao
In Cao Cao's main camp, Ma Xiaoquan was leisurely drinking tea, while Cao Cao was nervous.
"Lord Shangxian, you said, you said that someone would come to take refuge with me tonight, why don't you come now?"
Ma Xiao's eyebrows fluttered, and he didn't raise his head and said: "What's the hurry, this immortal said that there is, there must be!" ”
Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said: "My Immortal Lord, you have been talking about this for a few nights, and I have run several times just to practice running barefoot every day." ”
Ma Xiaoquan glanced at Cao Cao: "What do you know, people come to surrender to you, you have to pretend, you say that you wear shoes and go out neatly, who will think that you pay attention?" ”
"So, Ben Xian has been training you kid for the past few days, just to make you do it like! Do you understand? ”
Cao Cao didn't speak, but said in his heart: My kid? I'm fucking 45 years old, I'm still a kid? It's your demon way, it's been more than ten years, why are you still so young.
Ma Xiaoquan saw that Cao Cao didn't speak, and asked again: "Have you memorized all the lines I taught you?" ”
Cao Cao nodded and snorted.
"Then let me ask you, if I ask you how much rations you have, what will you say?"
Cao Cao didn't think about it, and said directly: "Tell the truth!" ”
"Fart!" Ma Xiaoquan stood up and kicked Cao Cao, "Let's say that it can support it for a year!" ”
"Oh!" Cao Cao rubbed his ass and glanced at Ma Xiaoquan resentfully.
"I'll ask you again, what if I ask you a second time? How do you answer? ”
Cao Cao said: "This time it should be the truth, right?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan glanced at Cao Cao and asked, "What do you ask me?" ”
Cao Cao smiled: "Don't dare, don't dare, I just want to say that?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan kicked Cao Cao again and scolded: "You can't tell the truth the second time, you have to say it for half a year!" ”
Cao Cao rubbed his other buttocks, and glanced at Ma Xiaoquan with resentment.
"The third time, what if I ask you the third time?"
Cao Cao glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, didn't speak first, but took a few steps back, and after exiting Ma Xiaoquan's range, Cao Cao said cautiously: "This time, this time, you can't hide anything this time, right?" ”
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan raised his hand, Cao Cao was so frightened that he took several steps back.
"Hehe, don't be afraid, Xiao Cao, I can tell the truth this time."
Cao Cao was relieved and patted his chest with his hand.
"Well, okay, then let's rehearse again, remember, the expression, the expression must be real, it must be rich, understand?"
The two had just rehearsed twice, and they heard a report from outside the account, saying that there was a lord and a deceased person to meet.
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Okay, the dinner is here, Xiao Cao, go, don't forget, the expression, the expression must be real!" ”
Cao Cao hummed, took off his shoes, then pulled his clothes and hair into a mess, and jumped out of the tent.
Looking at Cao Cao's disappearing back, Ma Xiaoquan smiled helplessly: "What's going on with this history, why does Cao Cao have to direct Xu You's play?" ”
