Chapter 207: Summoning the Princes
After Yu'er left, Zhang Zhang did not linger on the road, and returned directly to the room arranged by Cao Cao for himself, after all, he was still a little sleepy after drinking, although the alcohol content of this era was not very high, but he couldn't stand drinking too much.
The next morning, the tension that was still in the bed was awakened by a rapid drum beat.
"What's going on? Why are the drums beating so hastily? Is something big happening? ”
Hurriedly dressed and woke up Lu Bu, he originally wanted to go to Cao Cao, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to come to Zhang Li first.
"Brother Zilong, the Huns are attacking, let's go"
Zhang Zhang didn't expect the Huns to attack in such a hurry, and he started it just one day after he came.
Without saying much, Zhang Zhang nodded, and followed Cao Cao to the front of the two armies.
Zhang Zhang and Cao Cao and others stood on a commanding height, looking down on the camps on both sides, Cao Cao's side, can be described as ready, tall and bulky shields, erected at the forefront, resisting the Huns' sprints and bows and arrows, behind the shield is a team of energetic cavalry, mainly carrying battle flags, shouting and cheering, of course, they will also go up when sprinting, and then behind is Cao Cao's trump card, regarded as the first Yellow Turban Army of the Middle Earth Army, of course, now after Cao Cao's reorganization, the current Yellow Turban Army is no longer called the Yellow Turban Army, After the Yellow Turban Army was the army that Cao Cao really trusted, the Cao family and the Xiahou family, the selected elites, and then the archers, trebuchets and long-range combat units.
As far as Cao Cao's troops are concerned, there are millions of them.
On the Xiongnu side, compared with the neat Cao army, they thought of it so disorganized and undisciplined, but their cavalry rode not horses but tigers one after another, such a combination is really strange.
However, Zhang Zhang also knew that the Huns were invincible all the way to the border passes, and these tigers played a vital role, because the tiger was the king of beasts, and the roar of the tiger scared the horse only trembling, and he didn't dare to run, so what combat ability did he have? But these are not the most important things, there are tens of thousands of goshawks hovering overhead.
"Brother Zilong, have you ever seen the Huns attacking the city like this?"
After Cao Cao saw this camp, he instantly felt a little cold, for no other reason, how to fight the Huns camp? Horses don't dare to run, there are goshawks harassing in the sky, even if the bow and arrow can play a certain role, but that is not a long-term solution, after a long time, our defense line will definitely be breached, and when the time comes, it is really difficult to raise morale.
In fact, now the morale in Cao's camp has fallen to a low point, which means that Cao Cao has already lost this battle without fighting.
Zhang Zhang was also helpless when he saw this camp, Zhang Zhang really hadn't seen such a combination, it didn't matter if the tiger was trained so well, how did you train the goshawk in the sky? Don't be so perverted.
"I really haven't seen this, and there is no good way, I really can't let them withdraw, go to the border to defend, at least the tigers on the ground, we don't have to take care of it"
What else can Cao Cao say in this situation? Only nodding his head.
"Mingjin retreats!"
Cao Cao is not a dead-eyed person, like this war that he knows is unwarlike, Cao Cao is still very decisive.
Frontier!
The city wall is more than ten meters high, in order to prevent the Huns from breaking through the city gate, the city gate has long been firmly blocked by boulders.
"Brother Zilong? How do I feel that these Huns are a little different? ”
Zhang Zhang had never seen the Huns, how could he know what Cao Cao meant?
"You mean? They weren't Huns at all? ”
Cao Cao shook his head.
"Nope! I mean not all, although I have not been to the Xiongnu place, but from the report of the following people, I also know that the population of the Xiongnu is only one million, you see these people, to say the least there are more than 800,000, all of them are young and middle-aged, do you think this population ratio is reasonable? ”
yes, how is that possible? With a total population of more than one million and more than 800,000 young adults, where do the elderly, children, and women go? It's not quite a common sense.
"Then you mean that they are jointly attacking our Middle-earth"
Zhang Li is not a fool, besides, Zhang Li, as a crossing party, still knows about the nonsense.
"That's right, that's what I meant."
"And what do you want to do?"
Although I know about this matter with you, but think of a way, use your brains or forget it, after all, this is Cao Cao's final say, and it is not good for him to express any opinions.
"Gather all the princes of Middle-earth, defend against the Huns together, and deal with troops like them, the city wall is the most powerful defense tool, although I have many men and horses, but I will not defend against the attack that I only understand, because my purpose is to attack is the best defense, but today's situation is special, I have to give up my opinion, so this matter should be known to everyone in the world."
"Prime Minister must not! If we call the world, are we not saying that we are incompetent? Then the princes who submit to us will definitely have two hearts, and they will do us all kinds of harm and no good! ”
It's still Xu Shu who speaks, this Xu Shu doesn't know which incense stick he burned, he has always stayed by Cao Cao's side, although it is not reused, but it is very important to maintain Cao Cao's image, as for why Zhang Li doesn't know.
"All kinds of harm and no good? I don't agree, once the Huns successfully attack the city, the first to suffer is us, and at that time the princes who submit to us will have two hearts, what reputation and reputation do we want? ”
Xu Shu stopped talking when he heard Cao Cao's words, and silently stepped aside.
"Pass my orders! No! It is to use the order of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty to gather the princes of the world to jointly resist the Xiongnu who are about to eat, and if anyone dares to drag their feet, warn them that once the matter of the Xiongnu is resolved, they will be the first to be destroyed......"
Cao Cao used the order of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty to recruit heroes from all over the world! The matter of the princes of all walks of life jointly defending against the Xiongnu reached the ears of the princes of all walks of life at the fastest speed at that time.
Although it was nominally to defend against the Xiongnu, the hearts of all the princes were planning their own little Jiujiu.
"Big brother, should we go with Cao Cao to fight against the Huns?"
Ma Chao was thinking, Ma Chao got the news that his father Ma Teng was still in Cao Cao's hands, so Ma Chao didn't care about his father's life and death, Ma Chao couldn't do it, but he was afraid that he would fall into the tiger's mouth like this.
"Go! Why not? I don't believe that Cao Cao has such a big appetite and can eat so many people in one go......"
"Lord, our Xichuan originally belonged to Cao Cao's jurisdiction, and now Cao Cao has sent a pigeon to us, should we respond?"
Xichuan Liu Zhang......
