Chapter 50: Dengcheng Raiders
Cao Dexi Xun Yu, Xu Shu, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info two texts and two martial arts. In this way, Caode's shortage of high-end talents has been alleviated to a certain extent. As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, and Cao De is certainly no exception. In the days of resting in Dengcheng, Cao De seemed to be a groom official every day. Laugh at everyone. But soon, Xu Shu's basin of cold water poured Cao De's fiery heart half cold.
Xu Shu suggested to Cao De that he should take advantage of the great victory, and the morale of the soldiers was high, and they took Wancheng in one go. And after we took Dengcheng, the soldiers were not reduced much, and the armaments were also sufficient, the most important thing was that the Yellow Turban Army attacked Wancheng for more than half a month, and now it has just broken the city, and the Yellow Turban Army at this time is the most lax time. It's a godsend for us. We should take Wancheng immediately, and then reward the three armies and rest their armaments.
Cao De said helplessly to Xu Shu with a bitter face: "Yuan Zhi, it's not that I don't want to." It's that the heart is more than enough but the strength is insufficient. We have too few soldiers these days. Tanma reported that after Wancheng was captured by the Yellow Turban thieves, the original Yellow Turban Army of 70,000 or 80,000 people increased to 1230,000, do you want me to take 4,000 against 130,000! One person can drown us with one smear. ”
Xu Shu said in surprise after hearing this: "A few days ago, didn't the lord say that there were 10,000 horses!" ”
Cao De smiled and said: "It seems that Yuan Zhi has just taken over the army in the past few days, and he has not had time to understand the situation in detail in all aspects of the army. When I left Hanzhong, I brought 7,300 men with me. Along the way, more than a dozen large and small yellow turbans were scattered, more than 10,000 thieves were captured, and more than 3,000 people were sent in just to escort the prisoners! Coupled with the damage in various battles, there are barely 4,000 men and horses in our army with combat effectiveness. ”
Xu Shu also sighed helplessly after hearing this. Cao De changed his mind and said, "However, counting the time, the men and horses who escorted the captives should be back soon." Yuan Zhi still waited a few days and made plans after the men and horses returned to the camp. ”
Xu Shu had no choice but to nod helplessly: "That's it." Lord, his subordinates retired first. ”
Cao De nodded and rubbed his somewhat frowning brow. picked up the bamboo slips that he hadn't finished reading yet, but Cao De felt really boring after reading a few words. Cao De put down the bamboo slips again and walked out of the courtyard gate.
But before Cao De could go far, there was a shout in the distance: "Lord, lord, stay here." Cao De turned around and saw Xu Shu walking quickly behind him, "Yuan Zhi, is there anything else?" ”
Xu Shu took a few breaths, "Lord, lord, I have a countermeasure." ”
Cao De raised his eyebrows, "Oh! That Yuan came straight and fast. ”
Xu Shu took a breath again and said, "The lord can recruit troops in Duncheng. The Yellow Turban Army did not occupy the city for a long time, and it is very likely that the city guards of the original Dengcheng would hide in the city when the city was broken. According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, there should be more than 2,000 people in the original city guards, except for those who were killed and those who absconded. Five or six hundred men must still be in the city, and if they are re-recruited, it is very likely that they will be regrouped. At that time, a little training. Although the combat effectiveness is lacking, there is still more than enough to deal with the Yellow Turban thieves. ”
At this moment, a herald in the distance also shouted and ran towards Cao Dexu Shu, "Lord, military report." ”
Cao De looked at the herald who was running, turned to Xu Shu and said, "Just do what Yuan Zhi said." You are solely responsible. ”
Xu Shu clenched his fists and said, "No."
At this moment, the herald also arrived in front of the two of them and said loudly: "My lord, there is an army of more than 5,000 people outside the city, under our banner."
After Cao De and Xu Shu heard this, they looked at each other in surprise. Could it be that someone is pretending. Cao De immediately said: "Can you see clearly, it is indeed our banner?"
"Back to the lord, my subordinates have indeed seen it clearly. And in order to avoid misunderstanding, the other party stopped five miles outside the city. And a letter came. The herald immediately handed a letter to Cao De.
Cao De opened it and looked at it for a while and laughed: "Wenhe is really a roundworm in my stomach." Haha, Yuan Zhi, you can also take a look. ”
After Cao De finished speaking, he directly handed the letter to Xu Shu. Cao De didn't pay attention to Xu Shu's expression. Cao De said to himself: "It's really a little clear."
Cao De was about to go to the city gate to welcome the arrival of the army, but Xu Shu called out to Cao De again, "My lord." Since reinforcements are coming, what is the next strategy......" Cao De said without thinking: "Go ahead, these people can't fight, shouting and cheering should be considered a good hand."
Xu Shu turned around and left after receiving the order. Cao De strode to the city gate tower and waved his hand, "Beat the drum to welcome the reinforcements." ”
More than 5,000 people marched into the city to the sound of rumbling war drums. The leader is Cao De's personal secretary Lu Gu.
After the two met, Cao De looked at Lu Gu in surprise, "You are a weak scholar, how can you come with the army." ”
Lu Gu made a big bow and said, "Meet the lord." Cao De pulled up Lu Gu, who was saluting. Lu Gu continued: "Back to the lord. Since the main generals of Hanzhong were all following the lord to go on the expedition, Master Jia was worried that there would be an accident on the road without leading the army, so he sent the subordinate army to come. This is also a helpless move. ”
Cao De laughed, "It's my mistake, it's my mistake." Lu Gu went to rest first, and then picked up the wind and washed the dust for you at night. ”
On the second day, Cao De gathered all the key personnel in Deng Cheng and began to arrange affairs.
"First of all, I want to turn Dengcheng into a military base, which will be used as the forward base of our Northern Expedition to the Yellow Turbans. For this reason, I want to bring all the people of Dengcheng to Hanzhong County. When mobilizing the people, do not use force, but use gentle means. The matter was handed over to Wen Ruo. ”
Xun Yu stepped forward and hugged his fists and said "No".
Cao De continued: "Miaocai led 300 sergeants to maintain law and order when mobilizing the people, and security during migration. In addition, all the original Dengcheng city defense troops recruited by Yuan Zhi were handed over to Miaocai. After Miaocai returned to Hanzhong, he had to strictly discipline the Yellow Turban prisoners, and after the deeds were mature, a group of people were selected to enlist in the army. ”
Xiahou Yuan stepped forward and said "No".
"Wen Ruo, Lu Gu, you and the two of you returned to Hanzhong with the migrating people. Lu Gu, after you go back, let Wen He give you a good staff officer, a staff officer, and any position. Wen Ruo, you will first help Wen and manage the affairs of Hanzhong County. ”
Xun Yu and Lu Gu also stepped forward and said "no".
"Yuan Zhi, Yide, you two prepare, we will lead five thousand men and horses to harass the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng one day."
Xu Shu stepped forward and took the token, "No".
"Zixiao, after everyone returns to Hanzhong, you will lead the rest of the men and horses to transform Dengcheng into a fortress. This is the foundation of our Northern Expedition, and we cannot afford to lose it. ”
Cao Ren also stepped forward to receive the order.
"It's here, let's go and prepare."
After Cao De gave the order, everyone walked out of the door one after another, and each prepared to go. However, Lugu did not go out with the crowd. After Cao De and the others left, he asked Lu Gudao: "What's the matter, is there anything else?" ”
Lu Gu took out a letter from his sleeve, respectfully handed it to Cao De and said, "This is a letter written by Master Jia to the lord. Before leaving, Master Jia repeatedly told him to wait for the lord to arrange military affairs and then hand it over to the lord. ”
Cao De looked down at the bamboo slip in his hand. He smiled slightly and said, "Well, I know." You go back first. ”
Lu Gu saluted again and walked out of the room.
