Chapter 558: Chen Gong's Death
Although as a traverser, after years of battlefield fighting, Zhang Bao has long understood that no ancients can be underestimated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this time, Zhang Bao was by no means intoxicated by the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. He is more sober and calm than ever, in fact, Zhang Bao has always been very calm, even when he is in a rage, he is calmer than others.
If it weren't for this, Zhang Bao wouldn't have survived today.
Zhang Bao gestured to Jia Xu with his eyes, Jia Xu bowed his head lightly, and said to Guan Ning: "You'an, although the lord needs ten years to recuperate, have you ever thought about what the entire Central Plains will become after ten years?" Cao Cao is eloquent and strategic, his fierce generals are like clouds, and the strategists are like rain, and now he is coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, ten years later, I am afraid that the entire Central Plains has become Cao Cao's territory. ”
"This ......"
Jia Xu said again: "At that time, the lord did not use the troops of Guan, Liang, You, and Ji to suppress the princes of the world, but used millions of manpower to fight against tens of millions of people in the Central Plains, and the success or failure is self-evident. ”
"However, do you know that Cao Cao will be able to dominate the Central Plains in ten years?"
Guan Ning is still a little unconvinced, although he has a unique strategic vision, he lacks the ability to read people, and he can't see Cao Cao's potential like Jia Xu and Zhang Bao. Of course, knowing the princes who stood out in history, this can also be regarded as a benefit that Zhang Bao has crossed over.
"It is better to believe what you have than to believe what you don't have." Zhang Bao said in a deep voice, "If it's not Cao Cao, then it's Yuan Shu, if it's not Yuan Shu, then it's Sun Jian, in short, there will always be someone who will dominate the Central Plains in ten years!" We must prevent this from happening, at least until our army has accumulated sufficient manpower and material resources, and we must not allow people to dominate the Central Plains alone. ”
Jia Xu took Zhang Bao's words and said: "Therefore, this battle is not really to fight to the death with the princes of the world, the real intention of the lord is just to take the opportunity of this battle to weaken the war potential of the princes of the Central Plains, that is, to make the entire Central Plains more chaotic and more evenly matched." ”
Guan Ning bowed his head silently, and then sighed Haoran: "But it has also suffered tens of millions of people in the Central Plains." ”
Jia Xu said: "This is also a helpless thing, how can you force the people of the Central Plains to migrate under the rule of our army if you don't do this?" If the people of the Central Plains do not migrate to the rule of our army, how can they reverse the demographic disadvantage of the frontier land to the Central Plains? ”
"I see." Guan Ninghao sighed and said to Zhang Bao, "Please rest assured, the truth that long pain is better than short pain, Ning still knows." ”
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Yanzhou, Cao Cao's big tent of the Chinese army.
A huge military topographic map has been hung in the center of the big tent, and the princes of the Central Coalition Army gathered around the map, and Cao Cao, the assassin of Yuzhou, stood in front of the map, pointing to the map and explaining.
"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the information sent back by our army, in this battle, Zhang Bao gathered the barbarians under the rule of Hu Qi and Mobei Grassland in the Western Regions, together with the soldiers of Liang, He, You, and Ji, a total of more than 300,000 troops!" Cao Cao said this, and said with emotion, "Although Zhang Bao said that he occupied most of the bitter cold land, and the 300,000 army was also the limit of his strength, he had to say that he was far superior to me!" If it is allowed to develop, it will not be more than five years at most, and no one in the world will be able to match it! ”
Yuan Shu said disdainfully: "Meng Dexiu wants to raise the morale of others to destroy his own prestige, what about the more than 200,000 thief army, in front of us and others, it is just a group of chickens and tiles, and it is vulnerable." ”
Cao Cao snorted lightly, did not refute, and continued: "However, the only thing to be thankful for is that due to the containment of Gongqi (Zhang Luzi), Boye (Yuan Xunzi) and other coalition forces, Zhang Bao's 300,000 troops were not all gathered in Jizhou. Among them, 50,000 troops were led by General Zhao Yun to garrison Xiliang, 50,000 troops were led by General Gao Shun, stationed in Guanzhong and Beidi respectively, and 30,000 iron cavalry of the thief generals Guan Hai and Zhou Cang were coming south to support the front war at any time, as for the actual troops stationed in Jizhou and Youzhou, about 200,000. ”
"About 200,000?" Sun Jianhu's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said in a deep voice, "More than 200,000 people are almost the same as Dong Zhuo back then~"
Yuan Shao said: "Although the total number of Zhang Bao's troops must have been a lot more than Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou army back then, in terms of combat power, the difference is not a little bit. ”
Cao Cao said: "What I said at the beginning is very true, in terms of the 100,000 troops in Tunyu and Bingzhou, only 20,000 of them are the elite of a hundred battles, and another 20,000 Tuntian soldiers have participated in several wars after a year of training, which can be called elite soldiers, and the rest of the tens of thousands of Tuntian soldiers and county soldiers are just rabble, and there are more than 20,000 Liangzhou troops Although they are all divisions of a hundred battles, but they are not long subdued, it is good if they really want to fight without causing chaos for Zhang Bao." ”
Yuzhang Taishou Liu Min said: "Wouldn't it be easier to defeat the Yellow Turban Thief Army than to defeat Dong Zhuo according to Meng De's words? ”
"Not really. When the two armies are in a war, the number of troops and the strength of the battle are not the only factors that determine the outcome of the battle. A solemn look flashed in Cao Cao's small eyes, and he said in a condensed voice, "The ability of the main general is equally important. And at this point, Zhang Bao is far stronger than Dong Zhuo back then! Zhang Bao is more cunning and better at using soldiers, whether it is cavalry or infantry, it can be said that he is very good at using it. ”
Sun Jian frowned and said: "If you talk about using soldiers, you will never be afraid of Zhang Bao below, but at the moment, the coalition army lacks nothing, that is, the lack of cavalry." That's what I'm worried about~"
Cao Cao said: "Back then, Dong Zhuo trapped the fortified city with hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry, and waited for the coalition forces to encircle and attack, which had already committed the taboo of soldiers, so he was finally defeated. But Zhang Bao is not Dong Zhuo, this person invaded into a surname, and with thousands of elite horses, he could sweep across the Mobei grassland, and wipe out the Xianbei, Xiongnu, Goguryeo and other barbarians, so he will never sit back and wait for us to attack. ”
Yuan Shao can be said to have a deep understanding of Zhang Bao's use of cavalry, and couldn't help but nod his head and echo: "Meng De is right about this, Zhang Bao was able to dominate the world with a mere 2,000 iron cavalry, and he did not taste defeat, which shows the magic of this person's use of cavalry." ”
Yuan Shu coughed and asked arrogantly, "So how does Meng De think that the thief will fight this battle?" ”
Cao Cao glanced at Yuan Shu and said in a deep voice: "According to Cao's opinion, Zhang Bao is likely to use elite infantry to defend Guandu, Gaotang, and the north bank of the Yellow River, and then use elite cavalry to attack the flanks of Qing, Xu, Yan, Yang, and Jing Zhuzhou, and use this to force the coalition forces to retreat." ”
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Youzhou, Zhang Bao's mansion.
All the generals have dispersed, and only Zhang Bao and Jia Xu are left in the hall.
Zhang Baodao: "Wen He thinks how many soldiers and horses should he bring to the battle? ”
Jia Xu pondered for a moment and replied: "If there are fewer men and horses, it may be difficult to threaten the base areas in the rear of the coalition army, and the results of the battle are limited, but the large number of men and horses is not conducive to mobility, so I think that the scale of 10,000 elite cavalry is the most suitable, which can not only threaten almost all the cities in the Central Plains, but also ensure enough mobility." ”
"Well, that's it, 10,000 fine riders!"
"This 10,000 elite horse, does the lord plan to use the tiger and wolf cavalry as the main force, or the Xiliang iron cavalry as the main force?"
"Although the tiger and wolf cavalry is elite, there are many Karasuma people, and there are many inconveniences on the way, so~" A cold light flashed in Zhang Bao's eyes, and he said in a condensed voice, "General Ben plans to go out with 10,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry." ”
"This~" Jia Xu frowned, "Lord, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to do this, right?" ”
"Wenhe can rest assured." Zhang Bao said in a condensed voice, "Although these Liangzhou chaotic troops and soldiers are all ruffians, they are also men with blood surnames, and they have experienced a hundred battles, as long as they are well trained, they may not be a tiger and wolf army!" General Ben is confident enough to lead this gang of rebels into an elite army. ”
Jia Xu nodded and said: "This is true, if you talk about the ability to lead troops, no one in the world can be on the right side of the lord." ”
Zhang Bao said again: "Now Zhao Yunyuan is in Xiliang, Yu Shi is stationed in Guanzhong, Gao Shun is responsible for the safety of Beidi and Bingzhou, Guo Da and Bocai have their own defense lines, and Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Liao Hua and others are brave and champion of the three armies, but it is difficult to stand alone, although Jun'er has made great progress over the years, but after all, he is a little too young. There are few generals available in the army, and I am afraid that the heavy task of defending the nest will have to be picked by Wen He. ”
"The lord can rest assured, Brother Xu and Zhicai will do their best to assist the prince to defend Jizhou. Never let the coalition forces step into the territory of our army for half a step! Jia Xu said this, and said without worry, "But the lord led a lone army into the hinterland of the Central Plains, surrounded by strong enemies and dangers, you can't be careless, if you can't do it, let Xu follow the lord's side." ”
"Haha......" Zhang Bao laughed casually, "Wen He is too worried, it's not that this general underestimates the heroes of the world, and now this general leads 10,000 elite horsemen to gallop through the Central Plains, who in the world can help me?" ”
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
In the middle of the night, the coalition camp was dead silent, only the scouts guarding the lookout post still searched the darkness around them with vigilant eyes.
There was a dense forest in the north of the camp, and suddenly there was a ghostly rustling sound in the dense forest, and clusters of black images came out of the dense forest like ghosts, and through the faint starlight, I saw that these dark nights were wrapped in night clothes, and only the arm reflected a terrifying blue light, which was a dagger soaked in poison tied to the arm.
"Urgent gathering!" A muffled voice rang out leisurely, "Brothers, hurry up. ”
Seven or eight more people came out of the dense forest, and quickly gathered around a strong man, and if they didn't look carefully, no one would be able to find their traces. A cold light flashed in the burly man's eyes, and he said coldly: "Brothers, I won't say more, our lives were saved by the lord, and now it's time to repay the favor, most of this operation is a life that can't be escaped, but anything must be completed, do you hear?" ”
"Since he came, Lao Tzu is not ready to go back alive!"
"Wealth, food, women, these Lao Tzu have thoroughly enjoyed, there is no regret about whether this trip is dead or alive~"
"Good!" The burly man let out a low shout, "Action!" ”
Please silently, more than ten people disappeared into the vast night, leaving only untraceable footprints~
。。。。。。
Lu Bu's big tent in the army.
There was a faint sound of singing music in the tent, and the strategist Chen Gong stepped into the tent, only to see that the tent was brightly lit, and the enchanting dancers tried their best to caress the posture, and Lu Bu, Song Xian, and Cheng Lian generals were drunk and slightly squinted, and their faces were full of greed~
"Nonsense~" Chen Gong's face changed, and he pointed to the song music and the dancing girl and scolded sharply, "Get out of here~"
"The military advisor is here, let's all go down!" Lu Bu stood up, picked up a glass of wine and said, "Why is the military advisor so angry? Come, drink a glass of wine to suppress the alarm. ”
"My lord~" Chen Gong hated that iron could not become steel, and said angrily, "At this time, the war is imminent, the lord is the lord of an army, how to defeat the thief army if he does not die, he does not think about sympathizing with the soldiers, but here he drinks and has fun with the generals, a row of lavish style, if this is spread out, how will the people of the world look at the lord?" Who hasn't served the Lord in the future? ”
"People of the world?" Lu Bu smiled coldly, "The people of the world have long regarded Ben Wenhou as a traitor who slaughtered the hundred officials of the Beijing Division, right?" If it weren't for Zhang Bao on the side, how could there be a seat for Ben Wenhou in the coalition army? I'm afraid they would have attacked it a long time ago, right? Speaking of which, Ben Wenhou also has to thank Zhang Bao~"
Chen Gong said helplessly: "The lord is confused, because of this, the lord should do his best to think about the best way to murder the enemy, and he should use this to wash away the innocence of the lord!" ”
"No need." Lu Bu waved his hand and refused, "Ben Wenhou's subordinates are so many, and if they are allowed to go to the battlefield again, won't they even have their family background?" This time, let's just watch from the wall~"
Chen Gong hurriedly said: "Lord~ Absolutely not, if this is the case, I am afraid that there will be no place for our army to stand in the Central Plains!" ”
"Zhang Liao's thief who betrayed the lord led a full 2,000 people under his command to defect to Cao Thief, and now there are only 5,000 people left under the lord's command." Cheng Lian said sympathetically, "Now the military advisor is still persuading the lord, does he want the lord to have no soldiers from now on?" ”
Chen Gong's face changed, and he said angrily: "Cheng Lian, you shut up for me." If you weren't jealous of the virtuous, according to General Zhang Liao's temperament, he would actually be a betrayer? ”
An inexplicable anger ignited from Lu Bu's eyes, and then without warning, Lu Bu reached out with one arm and grabbed Cheng Lian's neck, and said, "Shut the fuck up for me!" ”
Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and then they came up to persuade them.
Lu Bu shook his hand and threw Cheng Lian on the ground, waving his arms and shouting: "Get out, get out!" ”
A group of generals fled in panic, and left clean in less than a moment, Cheng Lian and Song Xian looked at each other, not just leaving or staying, facing the angry Lu Bu, no one dared to ask, Chen Gong sighed, and said softly: "Lord~"
Lu Bu's expression was pale, he stood in the tent, and waved his hand to signal Chen Gong to go out without looking back, Chen Gong shook his head, and left helplessly~
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Youzhou, Zhang Bao's mansion room.
Zhang Bao's ape arm lightly hugged the gentle and soft delicate body into his arms, Zhang Bao's face swept a trace of guilt, Wanrou Bingxue was smart and got along with Zhang Bao day and night, and knew Zhang Bao's intentions, so he asked softly: "Is the husband going to lead the army again?" ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Bao bowed his head slightly, reached out to pick up his gentle and pink chin, and said softly: "Rou'er, I've suffered you all these years~"
Wanrou shook her head, looked up lightly, stared at Zhang Bao softly with beautiful eyes, and said in a low voice: "Rou'er is not bitter, it is the husband who is bitter." Every time I see my husband still dealing with government affairs late at night, Rou'er feels sorry for my husband~"
Zhang Bao's fingers slipped down the gentle and tender white jade neck, caressed the bulging breasts through the thick cloth armor, and then lowered his head and leaned against the gentle and pink earlobes and said, "Rou'er, I love you so much tonight!" ”
Wanrou's head hung slightly, her beautiful eyes flowed, and she responded softly: "Hmm." ”
Zhang Bao's breathing gradually became heavier, and he reached out to wrap his hand around the willow waist that was gentle and unbearable to hold her delicate body horizontally, and a big hand wrapped around the crook of the leg and hugged the gentle and straight snow buttocks, and the jade arm gently wrapped around Zhang Bao's thick neck, and the two bulging breasts happened to be tightly pressed against Zhang Bao's chest.
