Chapter 7 Liu Bei

Seeing Gan Ning, who was full of confidence, Gao Ye's heart was also settled. www.biquge.info Although I don't know how much combat power they have compared with the Jiangdong naval army, there is absolutely no opponent on the Yellow River. Who let Yuan Shao have no water army in his hands at all? At that time, whether it is a surprise attack by transporting troops or cutting off the water passage of the Yuan army, it will definitely be more than enough to use Gan Ning's troops. It's just that Gao Ye feels that he still has to transfer Jia Kui back to Gan Ning, and Gan Ning is brave, but when the army is marching and fighting, he still has to have someone by his side who can help him give advice.

Gao Ye, who had inspected the navy, was calm at this time, and Cao Ang, who had finally caught up with Liu Bei and his party on the other side, was a little nervous in his heart. Whether Liu Bei is his father Cao Cao or Gao Ye, who is far away in Qingzhou, he has a high opinion of Liu Bei's ability. This time, let himself seize Liu Bei's military power, speaking of which, it was the first time he had done such a thing, and he was facing a guy like Liu Bei. was originally determined to win, but under the advice of his father, he became uneasy.

Fortunately, as soon as he entered Liu Bei's camp, he didn't feel very bad. Maybe it's because his identity as the eldest son has a lot of status in the hearts of the soldiers, or maybe the majesty of the tiger and leopard riding makes him feel safe, until Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao met him not far from the gate of the camp, the nervous feeling in his heart has completely disappeared. Gao Ye once taught himself that he needed to be bold when things came to an end, and now that he had entered Liu Bei's camp, what was the use of being afraid? Now that he is here, not only does he have to defeat Yuan Shu, but he also can't let Liu Bei use this team to stand on his own in Xuzhou. With such a technical thing, I still have to think of a way.

Zhu Ling came to meet him, and only saw Cao Ang's confident smile, but where did he think that Cao Ang had already thought so much in his heart. After bowing down with Lu Zhao, Zhu Ling said with a smile: "I didn't expect the eldest prince to be here today, and he will be disappointed in the end, and he will ask the eldest prince to atone for his sins." ”

Cao Ang also smiled lightly when he heard this: "The two generals don't need to be polite, but Ang is too anxious this time, I'm afraid the two generals are also very confused." ”

Zhu Ling didn't dare when he heard this, but Cao Ang waved his hand and said: "General Zhu doesn't need to panic, when I came, my father said that General Zhu and General Lu are both loyal and upright people, and they are good at using soldiers, let me come this time and learn more from the two of you." Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao were overjoyed when they heard this, and they thanked them again and again. The three of them talked and laughed, and walked into the Chinese army tent together.

Speaking of the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang in the big tent of the Chinese army, they are all unhappy at the moment. Especially Liu Bei, his brows at the moment are almost wrinkled together, and while his eyes are closed, he keeps tapping his fingers on the table, not knowing what he is thinking. I don't know how long this silence lasted, but Zhang Fei was the first to speak: "Big brother, why don't I wait and don't do anything, and just kill that guy Cao Ang!" ”

Liu Bei suddenly opened his eyes when he heard this, and shouted at Zhang Fei: "Yide is cautious!" ”

Guan Yu on the side stroked his beard, but he said: "Big brother, the words of the third brother are also a solution. Now Cao Cao's old thief sent Cao Ang here, I'm afraid it's just to contain the eldest brother. Now all around this big tent are our confidants, if we can kill Cao Ang, we can go east and take Xuzhou directly at this moment. ”

Liu Bei shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Not for the time being." Now although Cao Cao wants to summon me back to Yingdu, I can always use the general to prevaricate the past. Now I am waiting to send troops to attack Yuan Shu, one is to let me wait for a chance to escape from Yingdu, and the other is to increase the prestige of your eldest brother and me. If Yuan Shu can be extinguished, coupled with the identity of my imperial uncle, the heroes of the world will inevitably follow, and when the time comes, they can respond to His Majesty's edict and crusade against Cao Cao. ”

Zhang Fei shouted on the side: "Fighting Yuan Shu is fighting Yuan Shu, what does it have to do with Cao Ang?" ”

Liu Bei let out a sigh of relief and said: "Although Cao Ang is here now, it is imperative to attack Yuan Shu, and he will definitely not be hindered." But once we kill Cao Ang, we will inevitably turn against Cao Cao, and when Cao Cao's soldiers and horses come to encircle and suppress us, how can we go to crusade against Yuan Shu? can only be as Yun Chang said, attack Xuzhou. But in this way, in the eyes of the world, I have become a raccoon dog with that Yuan Shu. At that time, who will be willing to assist me against Cao Cao? ”

Hearing this, Guan Yu nodded and said, "What the eldest brother said is very true. But if you don't kill Cao Ang at this time, when Yuan Shu is certain, he will inevitably attack the eldest brother, but you can't be on guard, big brother. ”

Liu Bei said with a strange smile when he heard this: "I waited for this trip to come to Xuzhou, how many old departments have I collected?" When it was time to fight with Yuan Shu, we attacked and killed Cao Ang, pretending that Yuan Shujun did it. At that time, Cao Cao will also have nothing to say, and we can also take this army to occupy Xuzhou and echo Yuan Shao. ”

Zhang Fei immediately laughed when he heard this: "Haha, the eldest brother's plan is really clever!" When the time comes, let's see how my old Zhang kills this little rabbit cub who hasn't grown all his hair! Ha ha! ”

Liu Bei just nodded when he heard this: "Yun Chang, you still have to continue to gather the people and horses that I left behind when I left Xuzhou." Fighting against Yuan Shu's army is a matter for Cao Jun. Attacking and killing Cao Ang is the heavy task of this army of soldiers and horses! When the time comes, I will make my own arrangements, and the second and third brothers don't have to worry. Let's go, I'll go outside the tent to greet this eldest son Cao, and I still have to give some face. ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both had the bottom in their hearts at this time, so naturally they didn't say much, and followed Liu Bei out of the big tent. From a distance, I saw Cao Ang walking in the forefront, Zhu Ling, Lu Zhao who followed him, and of course Xu Chu who followed behind, as well as more than a dozen guards. As for Cao Chun, he had already set up camp at this moment.

Liu Bei saw that Cao Ang had come, and he also put on a harmless smile, hurriedly greeted Cao Ang, and said with a smile: "The eldest prince is here, he is entangled in military affairs, and he is not welcomed, and he asks the eldest prince to atone for his sins." ”

Cao Ang pulled Liu Bei's hand and said, "General Zuo is serious. Ang is coming this time, and he has to rely on General Zuo a lot, go, you and I will enter the big tent first. Ha ha! ”

Liu Bei also laughed when he heard this, then turned around and stretched out his hand and said, "Eldest son, please." ”

Cao Ang also returned the favor, and the two of them led everyone into the big tent. As for the dozen or so guards behind Cao Ang, except for two who followed, the rest of them were all waiting outside the tent.

As soon as everyone entered the big tent, Liu Bei insisted on letting Cao Ang sit on the main seat, but Cao Ang pushed back again and again, and said to Liu Bei: "General Zuo doesn't have to be polite. Although I am the son of Cao Gong, in this army, you are the main general, so naturally General Zuo should sit on the main seat. My father praised General Zuo, and Ang also had the intention of learning this time, and asked General Zuo not to shirk. ”

Liu Bei wanted to persuade again, but Zhang Fei on the side couldn't help but say: "Big brother, Gongzi Cao is right, you are the main general in the army, who else can sit if you don't sit?" ”

Cao Ang on the side also said: "What the third general said is very true, General Zuo, don't shirk it." ”

Liu Bei looked reluctant and sat on the main seat, Cao Ang sat at the bottom of Liu Bei, followed by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhu Ling, Lu Zhao and others. Liu Bei saw everyone seated, and then arched his hand to Cao Ang and said, "I don't know if the eldest prince is here, but what edict does Your Majesty have to offer?" ”

When Cao Ang came, he already knew that it was absolutely impossible to let Liu Bei return to Xu Du with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. After all, Xu Chu has been blocked back once on the grounds that "the general is outside, and the monarch's order is not subject to it", how can he use such an excuse again. Therefore, Cao Ang's eyes rolled, and then he smiled and said: "That's not it, Your Majesty and my father are very relieved that General Zuo is going on the expedition." Yuan Shu rebelled against the thief, and he openly proclaimed himself emperor many years ago, and now that General Zuo is out, the thief will inevitably be headed. Ang came this time, firstly, my father hoped that I could learn from General Zuo, and secondly, ......" Cao Ang said this, touched the bridge of his nose, and then said with an embarrassed face: "After all, this battle is commanded by General Zuo, and it can be said that it is a must win to deal with a mere Yuan Shu, so my father also asked me to earn some military merits and qualifications." After all, it is good that I can follow the great work of extinguishing Yuan Shu. I just don't say this, and General Zuo knows in his heart that it's not. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "Don't worry, the eldest prince can be said to be a traitor to his relatives now, and he has marched all the way from Huainan to here, and his soldiers have no combat power." Now there is a big prince here, and it is even more powerful. This time against Yuan Shu, he will definitely succeed in one fell swoop! ”

"Haha, that's the best!" When Cao Ang heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "If you can win this time, it will be thanks to General Zuo's merits." Ang was mixed in the army, and he couldn't do much, but he wanted to share the credit of General Zuo, and Ang really couldn't help it. By the way, when I came, I saw that many soldiers were also tired, and they wanted to come and travel for days, and their morale was not high. General Zuo, you said that Ang personally went to boost morale, what do you think? Thinking about it, I'm afraid there is only one thing that can serve General Zuo. ”

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this: "What the eldest prince said is reasonable, in order to block Yuan Shujun's trip to the north these days, Bei is also a last resort, and he ordered the whole army to speed up. There are also soldiers who are tired and demoralized. The identity of the eldest prince is transcendent, and if he can inspire the soldiers, his morale will inevitably increase greatly. When the time comes to face Yuan Shu, it will be overwhelming. The eldest prince was able to discover this problem when he came to the army, which shows the talent of the eldest prince. ”

When Cao Ang heard this, he waved his hand again and again and said: "I don't dare to be a general of Zuo, and I have been in the army for a long time, so I was lucky enough to find out about low morale." When it comes to arranging troops and using strategies to plan and strategize, you have to rely on General Zuo! However, since General Zuo agreed, Na Ang went to prepare for the preparations, and when the time came, he walked around the battalions to boost the morale of our army. ”

"Haha, since the eldest prince is interested, this matter will be handed over to the eldest prince. When the time is complete, I will prepare a letter to Your Majesty to ask for credit for the eldest son. ”
