Chapter 152 Han Boyan ordered his troops to go south
Guo Jia and Xun Yu disagreed, and Han Jun was also in a dilemma, and he hesitated for a while, so he could only look at Xun Yu again and ask, "What is Wen Ruo's opinion?" ”
Xun Yu groaned: "I heard that Cao Cao has been implementing the law of Tuntian recently, recruiting people under the city of Xuchang in Tuntian, and setting up official positions such as the general of the farmer and the lieutenant of Tuntian, which is intended to raise military food for use in wartime. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 His Majesty thought that although the method of Tuntian had existed in ancient times, it was extremely rare to attach such importance to Cao Cao. If Tuntian is successful, Cao Cao may no longer have to worry about military rations. For this reason, the minister also thought that this battle should be aimed at weakening and balancing, slowing down the growth of Cao Cao, and creating conditions for the smooth southward movement of our army in the future. ”
Although Cao Cao's "Five Great Strategists" in history have almost been hollowed out by Han Jun, although the little emperor was also taken to Wancheng by Yuan Shu first, but Cao Lao's personal charm is there after all, and now under Cao Cao, there are still Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Zao Yi, Han Hao, Dong Zhao, Lu Qian, and Mao Ji Nengren. The method of Tuntian is the proposal of Zaoyi.
Han Jun thought for a moment, nodded and said, "You go on." ”
Xun Yu arched his hand and said: "Liu Bei was born poor, although he was once placed under Lu Zigan's door, and it is rumored that he is the queen of the royal family, but he has never made achievements in his half-life wandering. Therefore, his subordinates thought that they should do their best in this battle to support Liu Bei to suppress Cao Cao, resulting in a game of two tigers competing for food! ”
Xun Yu glanced at Xun Yu with a resentful face, and it was obvious that his little uncle was on Guo Jia's side.
"Wenhe, what do you think?"
Han Jun still didn't dare to make a decision easily, and asked Jia Xu's opinion again.
Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and only said one word, "Fight!" ”
Hit? Han Jun gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and said viciously, "Then fight!" I intend to send 20,000 troops, and go south on the left and right. The left road broke into the territory of Yanzhou, and the right road went straight to Xuzhou. How is it? ”
Guo Jia asked, "20,000 cavalry?" ”
Han Jun nodded, the Youji Army is so capricious, in the eyes of other princes, the precious cavalry is not good, but it is the largest number of troops in the Youji Army.
Guo Jia asked again: "Then who leads the army?" ”
Han Jun thought for a while and said, "I lead one army by myself, as for the commander of the other road, what do you suggest?" ”
Guo Jia groaned: "General Zilong is calm and resolute, and he can be the main general. ”
As the number one general under Han Jun now, Zhao Yun has never been arrogant, so no one else has any objections, and they all agree with Guo Jia's opinion.
Han Jun clapped his hand and said: "Then the left route army will take Zilong as the general, Zhang Xiu, Xu Rong as the deputy general, and Gongda as the military division, raid and plunder the two states of Yanyu and force the Cao army to return to the division. The right army opened its jaw, Gao Shun was the deputy general, and Feng Xiao was the military advisor, galloping to the aid of Xuzhou, looking for an opportunity to break the enemy! ”
As for Yuan Shao in Jizhou, he has been directly ignored by the monarchs and ministers, and he is just dying, so there is nothing to worry about.
On the first day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of the first peace, it snowed heavily in Youzhou.
On the ground, Han Jun swore an oath to the sky and waved his army south.
At this time, under the city of Xiapi, there was already a mountain of corpses. The unexpectedly tenacious tenacity of the Xuzhou army caught Cao Cao off guard, and he finally began to face up to this previously unknown opponent.
In the handsome tent with biting wind and dim lights, Cao Cao couldn't sleep at night and couldn't sleep. It was already the fifteenth day of the siege of Xiapi, and although it had attacked the city several times, it had always failed. The death toll of Cao Jun's death toll has exceeded 10,000 people, which makes Cao Cao's bad feeling in his heart become stronger and stronger.
I thought that after Tao Qian's death, I could take Xuzhou bloodlessly, but I didn't expect to encounter a hard bone that was difficult to gnaw.
To add insult to injury, the bad weather not only caused a large number of Cao soldiers to be frostbitten, but Cao Cao's most relied on strategist Xi Zhicai's condition suddenly worsened, and because of excessive thinking, coughing up blood, it was already difficult to get up in bed.
Holding a volume of "The Art of War" in his hand, Cao Cao's attention was not here at all, he had few ambitions, and he had already been able to memorize this classic of soldiers, just to distract himself from his worries.
The sound of footsteps outside the tent sounded, Cao Cao looked up, smiled bitterly and got up to greet: "The frost is heavy on the cold night, why hasn't Gongren rested yet?" ”
Dong Zhao, the word Gongren, Jiyin Ding Taoren, was raised as filial piety when he was young, and once served as the chief of the gall pottery, the county commander of the Bairen, and the first Yuan Shao. Later, because his younger brother Dong visited Zhang Miao to work for Zhang Miao, he was afraid of Yuan Shao's suspicion, so he left Jizhou for some reason and defected to Cao Cao's account.
Cao Cao and Dong Zhao hit it off at first sight, and after a night talk, they appointed Dong Zhao as Henan Yin, which can be called trust.
Dong Zhao smiled and arched his hand: "Your Majesty thinks about the stalemate of the war, tossing and turning, unable to sleep peacefully, and seeing that the lights in the lord's account have not been extinguished, so he came to disturb it, and I hope the lord will forgive me." ”
After Cao Cao invited Dong Zhao to sit down, he laughed and said, "How come?" I have something in my heart, and I want to discuss it with someone, so how can I blame Gongren? ”
This battle was fought very hard, everyone in Cao Jun was a lot haggard, and Dong Zhao, who was in charge of the allocation of grain and grass, looked obviously thinner than before. Cao Cao couldn't bear it in his heart, and sighed: "Is there any news of justice?" ”
When Dong Zhao heard this, his face couldn't help but darken, and he shook his head and sighed: "Not yet." ”
Righteousness is Dong Zhao's brother Dong Wan, who served under Zhang Miao.
When it came to Dong Visit, Cao Cao not only thought of Zhang Miao, but also said: "How many good friends in the world, of similar age and like-minded interests, originally thought that they could intersect in their lives, but who would have expected that the changes would change overnight, but from then on, they could only watch the end of the world go away." Friends become enemies, it's really the most helpless thing in the world! ”
Dong Zhao was silent, unable to answer, and did not dare to answer.
Cao Cao retracted his emotion, smiled bitterly, and said: "If there is news of justice, tell him that I will not be angry with him." If you have the heart to work for me, it will be better, and if you don't want to, I won't force it. It's just that now Zhang Miao is unable to protect himself, and following him around him is just asking for his own death. ”
Dong Zhao arched his hand and said: "Thank you, if you can find justice, I will definitely tell him what the lord said." ”
Cao Cao nodded, and said: "The New Year is approaching, and if you can't attack it for a long time, the army's heart will be turbulent!" Gongren, to be honest, how long do you think it will take before we can trample Xiapi City under our feet? ”
After pondering for a moment, Dong Zhao replied firmly: "Although our army is hard, the hard work of the Xuzhou army will definitely be several times better than our army. Although the losses of our army were large, the losses of Xiapi City would only be greater. At this time, the two armies are fighting fiercely, and the competition is patience. I dare to assert that Liu Xuande's life must be difficult at this time, as long as he continues to maintain the pressure on Xiapi City, I believe that the short is a few days, and the long is half a month, and Xia Picheng will be broken! ”
Cao Cao smiled bitterly, "I hope so!" I thought that Tao Qian would be difficult to get up, and Xuzhou could snap his fingers, but he didn't expect that Liu Xuande would be killed in the air, which would be so difficult to deal with. Although I had a relationship with him in Sour Jujube before, I didn't pay much attention to him. Now it seems that this guy had a lot of hidden dragons in the abyss before, and once he had to meet the wind and clouds, he would rise to the sky. Therefore, he must not be given any respite! I can't imagine how terrible it will be to let him gain a foothold in Xuzhou. ”
Dong Zhao nodded in agreement and said: "Looking at Liu Bei's use of troops, although there are some omissions, it is quite the essence of Lu Zigan. There is a degree of relaxation and a good way to advance and retreat, that is, the overall quality of the Xuzhou soldiers is a little worse, otherwise the losses of our army will be even more heavy. ”
"Hmm."
Cao Cao nodded lightly, looked thoughtfully in the direction of Xia Picheng, frowned suddenly, and asked Dong Zhao: "Liu Bei is not a mortal, he shouldn't be unable to see that Xia Picheng will not be able to hold it sooner or later, but why does he still refuse to give up?" I believe that with the courage of Guan Zhang, it is not difficult to fight a bloody way out of the city. Could it be that he was waiting for something? ”
Dong Zhao groaned: "I guess it's probably because he just ascended to a high position, and he was greedy for power and unwilling to give up." ”
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, although I don't know much about Liu Bei, but looking at his previous behavior, he is by no means the kind of indecisive person." ”
Dong Zhao thought for a while and hesitated: "Could it be that he is waiting for rescue?" However, according to the scout's report, whether it was Yuan Shu or Kong Rong, there was no change in the soldiers and horses. ”
Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he thought of something, and then shook his head violently, "No, it won't be him, he and Liu Bei have never had any friendship, it can't be his!" ”
"Huh?"
Dong Zhao looked at Cao Cao in confusion and asked suspiciously, "Who is the lord talking about?" ”
Cao Cao's face became extremely ugly at this time, his chest rose and fell violently, his fists were clenched tightly, and he gritted his teeth and said to himself: "If it is really him, then this time, I am afraid we will be in danger......"
Dong Zhao, who has an intelligence value of about 90 in the game, has already guessed who the "he" in Cao Cao's mouth refers to after a little thought. Like Cao Cao, after thinking of that person, Dong Zhao's face became a lot more ugly.
"No, it can't be. The lord doesn't need to worry, now Hebei is freezing cold, the roads are difficult to travel, and as far as I know, the disaster and famine in the two states are serious, and all the grain in the government treasury is used for disaster relief, and it is impossible to have surplus grain and grass to supply the army......"
"However, Xuzhou is not short of food!"
Cao Cao stood up suddenly, frowned and paced back and forth for two steps, his face full of worry, "Wealth is moving, not to mention that now that Youhe is in short supply, if Liu Bei promises to give him a large sum of grain and grass, and even I suspect that these grains and grass have been sent to Youzhou at this time, then will Han Jun send troops?" ”
Dong Zhao was silent, his palms were full of fine beads of sweat, and he was trembling and speechless.
Cao Cao gasped violently, and shouted loudly at the top of his throat: "Speed pass Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren came to see me!" ”
