Chapter 190: Cao Cao sent troops
Chen Sheng was in Shouchun, helping Yuan Shu integrate his forces, and making the Huainan forces vital. And Cao Ying's deployment of troops in Xudu has also come to an end.
Not only have the troops of the last expedition to Wancheng recovered safely, but even the grain and grass used in the campaign have been hoarded.
At present, Xudu can be said to be full of armor soldiers and full warehouses.
The expedition is already on the line, and it has to be sent.
On this day, Cao Ying personally arrived at the military camp outside the city of Xudu to inspect, and Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, Le Jin, Cao Ren, Yu Ban, as well as Xun You, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Chen Qun and other civil and military personnel were also accompanied.
Because it was Cao Ying who arrived in person, the leading generals worked very hard, for a while, Cao Ying was very satisfied, and immediately ordered a big reward, and the soldiers were rewarded, and they were immediately happy, and their morale was greatly boosted.
For a time, the whole army was very satisfied.
After inspecting the soldiers and horses, Cao Ying led all the civil and military forces and concentrated them in the big tent of the Chinese army. The generals knelt on the left side in turn, the ministers were listed on the right, and Cao Ying was on top.
"50,000 elite soldiers, high morale, Lone is very satisfied." As soon as Cao Ying knelt down and sat down, he unabashedly expressed his admiration for the generals.
And after the generals heard this, they naturally had a proud face, and they all raised their heads and chests.
"Mengde, this time against Lu Bu Napuff, this lineup is enough. Don't know when it's going to go? General Lejin asked curiously.
Although Xu Du's troops have been assembled at present, and the expedition is imminent, Cao Ying has not mentioned the specific time, so Le Jin asked.
And this is also something that the generals in the army are very curious about, so every general listens attentively.
"Today, Lone is not only for the military parade, but also to tell you the news." Cao Ying saw that the generals couldn't wait, and he was relieved and said with a smile. After a pause, Cao Yingcai said again: "The expedition is set for three days, and within these three days, you wait for your life and recuperation, make sufficient preparations, and fight against Lu Bu." ”
Speaking of this, Cao Ying was afraid that the generals would think that Lu Bu was brave and unscrupulous, so he said solemnly: "Although Lu Bu has no strategy, he is indeed brave and good at fighting, and Chen Gong under his command is also a wise and resourceful man, which should not be underestimated." ”
"No."
All the people present are elites, and they still understand this truth, so they all agreed to it, and they all spoke in unison.
"Okay, as long as you are cautious, it will not be difficult for Ping Lu Bu." Cao Ying felt very satisfied and said.
"Report to the big Sikong, there is an urgent report in Huainan." Just when Cao Ying was satisfied, suddenly a loud shout sounded outside the tent.
"Huainan?"
Everyone present was stunned, and then most of the people's faces showed a little disdain, Huainan Yuan Shu, the dry bones in the mound, what kind of wind and waves can be turned up?
"Come in." Cao Ying was also stunned, and he also didn't pay attention to it, and raised his head and shouted.
"No." There was a promise outside the door, and then a soldier walked in, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand. After entering the big tent, the soldier lifted the bamboo slip and took a few steps forward and handed it to Cao Ying.
Cao Ying stretched out his hand to take it, and then unfolded it to take a look, which didn't matter, but it made Cao Ying stunned.
"Mengde, what's going on? It can't be that Yuan Shu can't support it, and Huainan is falling apart, right? Xiahou Yuan asked with a little curiosity.
"Maybe it's worse, then Yuan Shu was killed."
"It's unlikely, then Yuan Shu is like a snake and a mouse, walking fast. You can't die if you're idle. ”
The generals immediately began to discuss, and in the end, Yuan Shu's ability to escape was also mentioned, and most of the generals showed admiration.
Speaking of this Yuan technique, it is really a rat. The combat effectiveness is not good, but the running kung fu is first-class, and I want Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Cao Ying, Sun Ce and others to attack Yuan Shu together.
Cao Jun alone chased and killed Yuan Shu for thousands of miles, but Yuan Shu fled to Yangzhou stubbornly, which really has to be admired.
"This time, you guessed wrong. Yuan Shu is still alive now, and he is still alive and well. Cao Ying shook his head when he heard this, and then said in a deep voice: "This bamboo slip said that Yuan Shu killed the general Lei Shu and Chen Lan under his command, so as to deter Huainan, and gather the army, with Yuan Yin and Ji Ling as the generals, and streamlined out 20,000 elite soldiers, which is not small at present." ”
"What, Yuan Shu can have such an ability?"
"Impossible, that Lei Book, Chen Lan has strong soldiers, with Yuan Shu's talent, how could he easily kill these two?"
When the generals heard this, they froze, as if they saw the sun coming out of the west, which was very incredible.
"It is said that Yuan Shu recruited Lei Shu and Chen Lan into Shouchun with a lure, and killed them easily." Cao explained.
"It's even more impossible, Yuan Shu can come up with such a plan?"
The generals felt even more incredulous.
"I don't know, but intelligence doesn't deceive. Most of this is true. Cao Ying also shook his head in confusion when he heard this, and said.
"Forget it, anyway, Yuan Shu will be excited over there, just cheer up. Even if that person led the troops into battle, he didn't have much combat power, and even Lu Bu was a hundred times stronger than him. As the so-called sheep, even though they have a lot of strength, they are also for people to eat. Cao Ying didn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to, and finally said with a smile.
"Exactly, Yuan Shu is really just a dry bone in the grave, there is nothing to be afraid of. If it is for Yuan Shu, it is better to put more thoughts on Chen Sheng, his Xiliang soldiers are really difficult to deal with. If he takes advantage of our crusade to attack Xudu, I am afraid that it will be a great disaster. ”
Li Dian said.
"Yes, Chen Sheng is a person who really has to be guarded against." Regarding Li Dian's words, Cao Ying's heart suddenly rose a hundred supports, and he nodded heavily and said.
"This time, Li Dian, Le Jin, Cao Ren are the generals, Cheng Yu, Xun You are the strategists, Chen Qun, Guo Jia, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Yuan are left behind. The expedition is almost over, and there is nothing more to say. But those of you who stay behind, you must pay careful attention to Chen Sheng. Cao Ying turned his head, looked at Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, and also glanced at Chen Qun and Guo Jia by the way, and said solemnly.
Lu Bu is brave and unscrupulous, and the dry bones in Yuan Shu's mound are all generals.
But Chen Sheng is a real strong enemy, and Cao Ying has deeply experienced it with his personal pain. Therefore, he had to guard against Chen Sheng from attacking Xu Du from behind.
"No."
Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Guo Jia and others all agreed, saying that they understood.
"Since this is the case, I won't say much about the rest, and I will go out after three days to pacify Xuzhou. When Xuzhou is flat, there will be no worries in the southeast. ”
Cao Ying finally said.
"No."
Everyone agreed.
Soon after, Cao Ying led everyone and returned to Xudu. After three days, Cao Ying led the generals Le Jin, Li Dian, Cao Ren, strategists Cheng Yu, Xun You and others to join the 50,000 Ma Bu army and set out to Xuzhou.
