Chapter 144: General Anxi, Going on the Expedition
In the blink of an eye, the five brothers Ma Chao have been coming to General Nanzheng's Mansion for four or five days. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Cao De also received a call order from Luoyang!
After Cao De received the summons, he quickly found Jia Xu, Xu Shu and Guo Jia, and prepared to discuss the departure of the army.
Liangzhou is not as good as Yizhou, Liangzhou is basically very mountainous, and Liangzhou is rich in war horses. Therefore, the cavalry was the regular force for the conquest of Liangzhou.
Although Cao De had an army of 130,000, the cavalry was only 10,000.
After Cao De's four people discussed, Cao De decided to take 46,000 men to the battle. Ten thousand of them are rat rides. And among the other 36,000 were the Fire Battalion and the Flood Battalion, as well as the Hammer Battalion and the Sword Battalion!
This time, Cao De used all the elites under his command! Even the generals who commanded the army, except for Zhou Cang and Ma Zhong, had been squatting in the mountain nest, and the rest of the generals were all in battle. Of course, it includes the fledgling Wei Yan. It's just that Cao Ren replaced Xiahou Yuan this time to take care of his family and train troops in Hanzhong.
As soon as Cao De sent Jia Xu and the others away, he saw Ma Chao dodging at the gate of the courtyard.
Cao De beckoned to Ma Chao, "Chao'er, come here, what are you doing over there." ”
Ma Chao heard Cao De's voice and walked over slowly hesitantly. Cao De looked at Ma Chao's appearance and asked, "Chao'er, what's wrong?" Got something on your mind? Come, tell my uncle. ”
Ma Chao hesitated for a while, raised his head and asked, "Uncle, Chao'er knows what his father is doing." I also know why my uncle brought the Chao'er brothers here to protect us. Now, my uncle is going to send troops to Xiliang, is my uncle going to lead troops to attack my father? ”
When Cao De heard this, he pulled Ma Chao and sat down on the steps. Cao De patted Ma Chao's back, sighed and said, "Chao'er, you have grown up." You also have to know that there are some things that a man must do, and you also have to know that things are man-made. Therefore, don't jump to conclusions about things that don't see results. However, always be aware of this. ”
Ma Chao raised his head and asked with a puzzled expression: "Chao'er didn't understand!" ”
Cao De smiled, stood up, carried Ma Chao behind his back and said, "Chao'er, don't worry." Uncle is not going to go to war with his brother-in-law. However, Chao'er, you must remember that if your father goes to war with me, then Chao'er and Chao'er's brothers and sisters will not be able to have horses! ”
Ma Chao was in a hurry, jumped up suddenly, and asked, "Why?" ”
Cao De turned around, looked at Ma Chao's slightly hostile eyes, sighed again, and said, "Chao'er, my brother's current identity is a rebel!" Your brother is also a rebel, and your uncle is an official soldier. If my brother goes to war with me, he will have to go to war with me to protect your brother. In the middle of the day, you will have to hide from the world. ”
Ma Chao thought for a while, but still didn't understand what Cao De meant, Ma Chao asked tentatively: "So, uncle." No matter what happens to my father's life or death, is my uncle still the same uncle? ”
Cao De laughed, "Don't worry, Chao'er." Uncle has always been the uncle who let you ride as a horse. You are the same as Fan'er in my eyes. They are all the children of Wu Caode! ”
After hearing this, Ma Chao saluted Cao De respectfully and said, "Uncle, the child believes in you." The child has no doubts, and the child has taken his leave! ”
Cao De nodded and looked at Ma Chao's departing back. I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in my heart.
At the beginning, Cao De's contact with Ma Teng was really just going to Ma Chao. But after Cao De's contact with Ma Teng's family, he really began to like this family.
If things can't go smoothly according to plan in this battle, then Cao De really dares to protect Ma Chao all over the world.
The next day, various military orders began from the palace of General Anzai. After receiving the order, several battalions of soldiers who went out to Liangzhou began to assemble in the direction of Dingjun Mountain.
And Ma Chao was also called into the study by Cao De.
After Ma Chao entered Cao De's study, he found that there was an uncle dressed as a literati in front of Cao De. Cao De saw Ma Chao coming, and said to Ma Chao: "Chao'er, now that you are twelve years old, it is time to apprentice." Come, I have seen Mr. Wenhe, and from now on Mr. Wenhe is the gentleman I found for you. Mr. Wenhe is a rare celebrity in the Han Dynasty through the ages, and you should respect Mr. Wenhe as much as you respect me. ”
When Ma Chao heard this, he hurriedly bowed to Jia Xu. He shouted: "Student Ma Chao has seen Mr. ”
Jia Xu has seen Ma Chao and knows the story of Ma Chao once peeing on Cao De's neck. Therefore, Jia Xu knows the importance of Ma Chao to Cao De.
Nowadays, Hanzhong is also full of talents, Xun Yu, Xu Shu, Cai Yong. But the teacher Cao De chose for Ma Chao was Jia Xu. Therefore, Jia Xu was also very moved.
After Ma Chao bowed to his teacher, he was arranged by Jia Xu to read a book.
Ma Chao walked out of Cao De's study and was just about to pass through the courtyard gate of the study's courtyard. I saw a large crowd of people coming directly from the opposite side.
Ma Chao hurriedly hid to the side to make way, and after the crowd passed, Ma Chao quietly looked at Cao De's study for a while, then turned around and left.
After Ma Chao left, almost all the mainstays of Hanzhong County such as Xun Yu, Xu Shu, Guo Jia, and Cai Yong came.
Cao De saw that everyone had come, cleared the fat man and said: "The army that went to Liangzhou has begun to mobilize, and I want to personally lead the army to Liangzhou to have a look." You can't have no one in your home. I have summoned you here today, and I am sure you know what I mean. ”
Cao De froze and continued: "After the army sets out. Everything in the family is decided by Wen He and Wen Ruo. ”
Jia Xu and Xun Yu took a step forward and bowed their hands.
"Yuan sigh, you don't have to follow Wen He, go to Wen Ruo to fight. Yuan sighs that he has a lot of experience, and he is also a rare talent. ”
Gu Yong also came to the meeting this time, and it was Cao De who meant that he had started to get in touch with government affairs. After all, I used to follow Jia Xu to take care of everything, and I didn't have a focus on work at all.
Gu Yong took a step forward and handed over his promise, Cao De continued: "Wenhe, your focus is on the logistics and supply of the army. This matter is about the victory or defeat of the army, and there is no ambiguity. I'll rest assured that I'll leave it to you. ”
This is the greatest trust, and I have entrusted my life to you.
"This expedition, Yuan Zhi and Feng Xiao went to Liangzhou with me to give me advice."
Xu Shu took a step forward and said yes, while Guo Jia nodded nonchalantly.
Everyone knows Guo Jia's current situation, so Guo Jia's actions did not cause any reaction.
Then, Cao De got up and said: "May you all work together, work with one heart and one mind, and keep the rear of my army peaceful." Also, inform Zilong. Five days later, the army assembled outside the North City Gate and set out to conquer the heavens! ”
"I wish the general, invincible and victorious!"
Five days later, at the north gate of Nanzheng City, 10,000 rat cavalry cavalry lined up in a neat formation.
At the gate of the city, it was Cao De, dressed in military uniform, holding up wine with both hands to salute the sky!
Not long after, Cao De, who was dressed in purple red armor, tilted his hands, and the wine was poured on the ground. Then, Cao De turned around and pulled out the Qinggang sword sent by Cao Cao at his waist, "Protect the family in peace, swear to kill the thief, the Han is mighty!" ”
"The general is mighty, the big man is mighty!"
"The general is mighty, the big man is mighty!"
……
……
The war drums and horns at the head of Nanzheng City rang out at the same time!
Cao De nodded with satisfaction and yelled again: "Go on the expedition!" ”
The rat rode the well-trained cavalry, slowly turned the horse's head, and headed north.
At Nan Zhengcheng's head, Ren Hongchang held the shoulder of Ma Chao, who was half a head shorter than him, with one hand, and quietly watched Cao De's back getting farther and farther away.
"General, you will return safely!" (To be continued.) )
