Chapter 402: It's up to the general
When Zhao Yun led the White Tiger Horse to Gai County in Taishan County, Cao Cao's order had already been transmitted here. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Give the White Tiger the greatest help as much as possible!
Zhao Yun and the White Tiger Cavalry were able to have such an honor on Cao Cao's territory, and it could already be said that they were no different from Cao Cao's own army.
Xuzhou is not as good as Jizhou. Although Xuzhou is also a state, it is too small compared to Jizhou. The sum of the two Xuzhou is about the same size as one Jizhou. However, Xuzhou's wealth and population density are not comparable to Jizhou.
Therefore, Zhao Yun and the White Tiger must be careful when riding in Xuzhou. Otherwise, you might be blocked by an army that came out of nowhere.
Therefore, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Ma Chao got together again and had a meeting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the lord asked us to attack Xuzhou, most likely to contain Liu Bei's forces and prevent Liu Bei from supporting Yuan Shao. I wonder if you have any good plans? Zhao Yun, as the main general, took the lead in raising today's topic.
The few people who came with Zhao Yun, one was Lu Bu, who was arranged by Cao De to act as a super thug; There is also Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun knows that Cao De has always wanted to cultivate Zhang Liao; The last one is Ma Chao, Ma Chao's situation does not need Zhao Yun to deliberately understand at all.
In this operation of the White Tiger Cavalry, Zhao Yun is indeed the main general. But in Zhao Yun's view, this is a game for Ma Chao to accumulate combat exploits and increase experience.
Therefore, Zhao Yun already had a plan to attack Xuzhou in his heart, but Zhao Yun still had to ask, if Ma Chao had any suggestions, the White Tiger Rider's actions had to be as close to Ma Chao as possible!
Ma Chao, although he has been training for life and death on the grassland for two years, the war on the grassland is different from the war in the Central Plains. Moreover, after Ma Chao returned from the grassland, Cao De never let Ma Chao directly participate in the battle, and learned the command methods of various generals on the side.
And Ma Chao himself, although he is keen on fighting on the battlefield, but Ma Chao saw Jia Xu's guidance to him by chance.
Ma Chao understood.
Just after Zhao Yun asked, Lu Bu said, "General, the last general has a request!" ”
"General Lu, please speak!" Zhao Yun nodded politely.
"If you can fight against Liu Bei, I hope the general will let the last general attack!"
As soon as Lu Bu's words fell, Zhao Yun immediately understood what Lu Bu meant. Hey, Lu Bu, the number one in the world, really holds a grudge!
"Good. I promised General Lu under it! ”
"Thank you, General!" Lu Bu said happily.
Just when Zhao Yun and Lu Bu were discussing the ownership of Liu Bei's head, Zhang Liao and Ma Chao were already lying on the map in front of them.
"General Ma! Do you remember the day when you ambushed Fanyang reinforcements outside Yin'an City? Zhang Liao asked Ma Chao.
Ma Chao glanced at Zhang Liao and nodded, "If General Zhang hadn't surrounded Yin'an City, then Fanyang would not have any reinforcements." ”
"No, not around. It's intelligence! Zhang Liao shook his finger and said.
"Intelligence? What does the general mean? Ma Chao asked a little puzzled.
"When General Ma and General Lu flanked Fanyang reinforcements before and after, they had already taken Yin'an City. Moreover, the two generals don't know, and neither do the Fanyang reinforcements! Zhang Liao said after thinking about it carefully.
After Zhang Liao's reminder, Ma Chao had a plan in his heart.
"The general is saying......" Ma Chao was about to speak, when suddenly a guard pushed open the door and walked in.
"General Qiyu. Someone outside the camp asks to see the generals! ”
"Oh? Who asks to see! Zhao Yun asked.
"The person who came called himself Cao Hong!" The guard said.
"Oh? General Cao! Hurry up, please! Zhao Yun was surprised for a moment and hurriedly said.
Cao Hong's identity is not simple, not to mention that the White Tiger is now riding on the territory of Cao Cao and Cao Hong. Don't forget, Cao Hong is still Cao De's cousin!
Soon, the guard led Cao Hong to the tent of Zhao Yun and the others.
"General Cao!" Zhao Yun and the others took the lead in clasping their fists and said.
"Meet the generals below!" Cao Hong smiled and said with his fists clenched.
"General Cao is polite, please take a seat!" Zhao Yun said and made a gesture of please.
"Generals, please!" Cao Hong replied!
After everyone sat down, Zhao Yun asked, "General Cao came from afar, is there something important?" ”
"Oh, on the orders of Meng De, I have come to assist the generals! After Meng De discussed with Anbang, in order to prevent Liu Beibei from coming to Yuan Shao's aid, he specially dispatched the White Tiger to come here. Meng De was afraid that the White Tiger would be alone and would be unable to support the army, so he sent his subordinates and 30,000 troops to help! ”
"Oh, that's great!" When Zhao Yun and the others heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed!
"I wonder where General Cao's 30,000 army is now?" Zhang Liao asked with some excitement.
"Oh. Since it would take some time for the army to assemble, and because Meng De and Anbang were worried that the generals would go deep alone, they set out before the army. Ideally, the army should be there in four or five days! ”
When Zhang Liao heard this, he immediately said with a disappointed face: "That's it? ”
"What, is it too slow?" When Cao Hong saw Zhang Liao's expression, he was suddenly a little embarrassed.
"General Cao doesn't know! General Zhang already had a plan in mind to attack Liu Bei. However, my White Tiger cavalry are all cavalry, and General Zhang's strategy also needs infantry cooperation. Therefore, ......" At this time, Ma Chao stood up to defend Zhang Liao.
"Oh, I see! Alas, by the way, your Excellency is Ma Chao Ma Mengqi? Cao Hong first nodded when he heard this, and then asked Ma Chao with a look of great interest.
"The last general is exactly. But in the end, you can't afford the word "Your Excellency"! Although the lord and the last general are uncles and nephews, the lord treats the last general like father and son. The last general should have called the general, and his uncle was! Ma Chao bowed respectfully and said.
"Alas! At a young age, General Ma was able to lead his troops to fight in all directions. As the saying goes, "There is no order to learn, and the one who achieves is the first." "Even if you are the righteous son of Anbang, Anbang is not in Gaixian County at the moment. Now that you and I are both generals in command, let's be commensurate with generals! ”
"My nephew thanked my uncle first. It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, I've seen General Cao! "Ma Chao first made a big salute, and then made a general salute!
"Good, good, good!"
Cao Hong is actually a person without a fight. But speaking of which, Ma Chao's identity here is also a bit embarrassing. Zhao Yun is Cao De's brother-in-law, Cao Hong is Cao De's cousin, and Ma Chao is Cao De's half-son. So, you're welcome, wouldn't it be more comfortable to call each other generals!
"Since General Zhang already has a plan, I don't know what the plan is?" Cao Hong turned to Zhang Liao and asked.
When Zhang Liao heard this, he got up and saluted, and said: "The plan of the last general is formulated with General Ma!" Zhang Liao said and glanced at Ma Chao. And Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, and immediately sent a grateful look to Zhang Liao!
"The last general's plan is to use 10,000 infantry troops, and the more cavalry the better! Gentlemen, please move! Zhang Liao said and made a gesture of please!
Zhao Yun, Cao Hong and the others glanced at each other and immediately stood up.
"Everyone, look at ......"
Two quarters of an hour later!
"Haha, General Zhang's plan is very good! But nowadays, the infantry army is a little insufficient! Cao Hong touched his chin and said.
"I wonder if the general can mobilize the garrisons of various cities in Taishan County?" Ma Chao suddenly asked.
As soon as Ma Chao's words fell, the eyes of everyone present lit up.
"There are less than 8,000 people in Taishan County! If all of them are transferred, I'm afraid it will ......," Cao Hong said with some anxiety.
"In the early battle, five thousand people are enough! After General Cao's 30,000-strong army arrives, it will be the time for the big battle! Zhao Yun clapped his hands and said!
"Okay, just according to the general's orders!"
