Chapter 35: Changes in the Situation

After waiting for two days at Bishui Pass, two thousand soldiers from different forces came to help defend one after another, and what was originally expected was the sneak attack troops sent by Yuan Shu.

"It seems that their losses are greater than expected...... Guo Jia sat on a low stool, pulling for more than a day and still not relieving.

"Bonghyo's body is too weak, and he still needs to exercise more!" Li Ming said with interest.

"Ashamed ......" Guo Jia looked at Xi Zhicai, who was originally as weak as him, but now he is full of energy, there is no sequelae of diarrhea at all, and his complexion seems to have become better.

"On the battlefield, there are many cases where the plan does not keep up with the changes. If Yuan Shu sent a group of dead soldiers, then it would not be easy to pry their mouths open. Xi Zhicai smiled, looked at Li Ming and said.

At this time, Dian Jie hurriedly walked in and came to Li Ming to ask for instructions: "Lord, Cao Cao asks to see!" ”

"Let him in!" Li Ming nodded, Yuan Shao wanted to settle the army's morale in the rear, and it was Cao Cao who brought people over this time.

After a while, Cao Cao walked in a little anxiously, looked at Li Ming, and said slowly: "Riyao, reinforcements have come from Bishui Pass, there are 5,000 foot soldiers, 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 archers, a total of 10,000 people to join the defense of Bishui Pass!" ”

"No wonder Huaxiong hasn't been dispatched in the past few days, it turned out that he asked for reinforcements from Luoyang? It's just that this is not very rational, after all, Bishui Pass is just a small level, and it is not worth investing so many soldiers at all! Li Ming was suddenly stunned, and at the same time, new doubts came to his mind.

"Nothing strange!" Cao Cao replied, "I can't see it clearly from a distance, but Cao has been in Luoyang anyway, and the Fifth School of the Northern Army naturally recognizes it." Dong Zhuo seems to be planning to test the combat effectiveness of the five schools of the Northern Army, and the main purpose is only to use our hands to consume these original troops of Luoyang. ”

"This is highly likely!" Guo Jia rarely straightened his waist, "Dong Zhuo has only been in Beijing for more than a year, and his control over the Fifth School of the Northern Army and the Eighth School of the West Park is not in place. Instead of wasting time trying to take them down, we might as well use them to drain our forces! ”

"It's just that he didn't think that if these soldiers were directly under our command, then he would suffer?" Li Ming said with a smile.

"The families of the five schools of the Northern Army are all in Luoyang, and most of the soldiers are the people of Sili! Originally, the five schools of the Northern Army had some scruples, if Dong Zhuo promised high-ranking officials, gold and silver treasures, and even martial arts, he would not worry that they would be disobedient! Cao Cao reminded.

"When will our headquarters arrive?" Li Ming looked at Cao Cao.

"Our army only stopped diarrhea yesterday, and now most of the soldiers are in prostration, let them come and send them to death? But there is good news, just in the morning, a traveling doctor named Hua Tuo came to the army, and prescribed a prescription saying that it can help the soldiers recover quickly, Yuan Shao has begun to collect herbs according to the prescription, and he will definitely arrive at Bishui Pass within three days! Cao Cao replied.

"I just don't know if the enemy will give us three days! Lao Cao, if we are attacked by surprise within three days, can you control these two thousand soldiers, if not, let them go back and leave your headquarters behind! Li Ming looked at Cao Cao.

"Can't!" Cao Cao shook his head, "Although I am a military advisor, I don't have such a strong right to speak. If Yuan Shao comes out, maybe they can still contribute, among the more than 2,000 people, only Bao Xin, Zhang Chao, Zhang Miao, Gongsun Zan and Cao Mou, these hundreds of people can be deployed, and the other more than 1,000 people can't be mobilized at all! ”

"In that case, let them go back! I don't want to be held back by my own people when I'm fighting with others! Li Ming directly issued an expulsion order.

"The army will inevitably come and converge, and you are afraid that it will not be appropriate for you to let them go back and forth like this. If we let them stay on standby, maybe they can come to support us at a critical moment! Cao Cao didn't want to offend the other princes too much, so he proposed.

"It's good!" Li Ming looked at Guo Jia, who nodded, and then responded.

"I have to say, I haven't seen you for a few years, and there are a lot of capable generals under the command of Riyao!" This action naturally did not hide from Cao Cao, and the latter only sighed.

Li Ming was only born in a humble family, and perhaps Jijun Taishou was the end of his political career. The key is the attraction of talents, the poor family is naturally not as good as the family gatekeeper, but in the observation of the past two days, it was found that there are several fierce generals under his command, not to mention, whether it is Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu, or even Guo Jia, Wenchen is a rare talent.

Unconsciously, the former poor boy also began to gradually have a background. If it weren't for the fact that there were too few members of the family to be regarded as a real family, in terms of background, it would not even be inferior to their Cao family.

"There are relics in the countryside, and there are reckless generals, I am an outstanding Han person, but there are too many talents that we have not discovered! But the top talents are still from the family! Li Ming said with a smile, the talents of the poor family are mainly talents with training value, and they can really be put into use immediately, but almost all of them come from the family.

"The world is like this, but Riyao's words are also quite reasonable, and you really can't focus on the family!" Cao Cao smiled, obviously Li Ming's words were still very useful to him.

Half a day later, the soldiers who received the order all reacted differently. Some were dissatisfied with Li Ming for underestimating them, while others felt that it was just right, and some were even a little lucky. These reactions were all seen in Cao Cao's eyes, and at the same time, he also felt that Li Ming's decision was normal, and letting this group of guys stay in the army would only delay at the critical moment.

The part of the soldiers who decided to stay basically had no complaints, and what to do. Those who were named quickly packed their bags and left the army that afternoon.

Li Mingjun's actions naturally did not hide from the spies on Huaxiong's side. It's just that the person in charge of the army today is not Hua Xiong, but Yang Xing of the Fifth School of the Northern Army. This is also Li Ming's old acquaintance, but what he didn't expect was that he actually gave up literature and martial arts, and even became the director of the fifth colonel of the Northern Army.

"Hahaha! Originally, it was only 3,000, and even if you add the follow-up troops, it is only 5,000. It's already rare to have no help to ask for, and they actually took the initiative to transfer a group of soldiers, didn't they obviously let us go over to attack him! Yang Xing said with a smile.

The family asked him to abandon literature and martial arts, but he actually resisted, and it was not until Dong Zhuo entered Beijing that he understood that without military power in hand, then it was nothing. Look at the ministers in the court, no matter how high the status is, it can only be Dong Zhuo's echo worm.

"My lord, now that the coalition army has not arrived, if you can break through Li Ming's vanguard army, it will be a great achievement!" The lieutenant below proposed, after all, they came out to guard the Bishui Pass, and many people were actually unwilling.

Many people are eager to quickly establish meritorious deeds and then return to Luoyang to live a good life.

"No! Li Ming is not easy to deal with, since he dares to transfer away more than a thousand soldiers, he naturally has his deep meaning! Huaxiong refused.

"General Hua, Captain Dong has ordered, I am the main here!" Yang Xing looked at Hua Xiong and cast a disdainful look at this who was already the end of a strong crossbow. Even if he was a general under Dong Zhuo in the past? Now it's just a scrap!

"The whole army obeys the order!" Yang stood up and slowly shouted, "Attack the coalition camp with me tonight!" ”

"Whoa!" The generals under his command responded one after another, and even Hao Meng responded positively.
