Chapter 223: Pre-War Preparations
If you want to lurk an army from the Yellow Water, you must enter the Yellow Water before dawn, and wait until the time comes. If the daredevils who were killed directly from the pass were blocked, the soldiers lurking in the yellow water would have to endure the biting cold in the water one more.
Cao Xuan must have guessed this, so he took the initiative to ask to bring someone to lurk in the yellow water. While leading an army of the dead is just as dangerous, it's still not as dangerous as lurking in the yellow water.
With the daredevils directly attacking the camp of the Xiliang army, even if there will be some traps or ambushes, the imperial army in the pass can be rescued in time. But lurking in the yellow water is different, you can't see the situation in the yellow water above the wall, after all, there is still some distance.
"The task of lurking in the yellow water will be handed over to General Koji Yi and the first camp." Ye Mo looked at everyone around, but this time he didn't take care of Cao Xing's feelings, but chose to let Lu Yi take the soldiers who went to the camp first.
When Koi Yi heard Ye Mo call his name, he would not refuse. After all, Ko Yi had thought about relieving Ye Mo's worries before, but Ye Mo didn't agree to Ko Yi's request to kill people directly at that time. Now that Ye Mo gave Koji Yi a task, Koji Yi naturally accepted it without hesitation.
Cao Xuan saw that the matter of lurking yellow water was arranged by Ye Mo to Lu Yi, so he then asked for his life: "My lord, the last general asks for orders to lead the daring army, rush to kill the enemy camp, and make a way for our army." ”
Cao Xing saw that Ye Mo did not agree to his previous request, and thought that Ye Mo was worried that he was born in the north and did not practice water, so he asked Ye Mo again for his life to lead the death army.
However, Ye Mo glanced at Cao Xing, and immediately shifted his gaze to Dian Wei's body, and then said: "Hong Fei, you will lead the death army and be the vanguard of our army." ”
"Subordinates take orders!" Dian Wei saw that Ye Mo had ordered his general, so he walked directly to the center of the camp tent, gave a military salute to Ye Mo, and took over the task.
Cao Xuan was anxious at this time, and Ye Mo refused his request twice, which made Cao Xuan a little uncomfortable. Cao Xing himself also knows that he is not as good as Dian Wei in martial arts, and he is not as good as Koi Yi in terms of military training. However, no matter how Cao Xing says, he is also a strong player under Lu Bu, and he has been ignored twice and three times, so he will have a little temper no matter what.
"My lord, I Cao Xing knows that my ability is low, and I am not as good as the right-hand men of General Koyi and General Dian Wei. However, the last general and General Song Xian were both under the account of General Lu Bu, and now General Hou Cheng has returned to Luoyang with General Song Xian's ashes. If I avenge General Song Xian, I Cao Xuan can't make a contribution, then how can I Cao Xuan gain a foothold under General Lu Bu's account in the future! Cao Xing's words were loud.
Song Xian was already dead, Hou Cheng accepted the task and went back to Luoyang, and only one of the generals of the Lu family was left, Cao Xing, in Hangu Pass. Now, Cao Xing's several requests for life have been ignored by Ye Mo, and Cao Xuan will naturally have ideas. However, the reason why Cao Xuan was able to be reused by Lu Bu was because of it. Therefore, Cao Xing directly said his thoughts, instead of holding grudges in his heart.
Cao Xing's own ability should be considered very strong, even a little stronger than in history. Because of Ye Mo, Cao Xing entered Lu Bu's sight earlier than in history, and he received more guidance from Lu Bu.
However, the two tasks assigned by Ye Mo before were too dangerous. Song Xian was already dead, and in order to consider Lu Bu's feelings, Ye Mo would not send Cao Xuan to accept such a difficult task again. But at this time, Cao Xuan asked, Ye Mo was not good at explaining the considerations in his heart, but he could arrange other tasks for Cao Xing.
"General Cao Xing, don't worry, I'll arrange tasks for the general next." Ye Mo looked at Cao Xuan and opened his mouth to comfort.
Cao Xing heard Ye Mo say this, so he stopped making trouble, and quieted down and planned to listen to how Ye Mo arranged it.
After Ye Mo saw that Cao Xuan looked at him and stopped talking, he spoke: "General Cao Xuan, Hong Fei led the death army as the vanguard, but the number must not be too many. Therefore, the general was also asked to lead the army, and when Hong Fei broke through a passage, he immediately led the army to follow, and strive to fight a battle. ”
Cao Xing heard Ye Mo say this, although he was reluctant, but he also knew that Ye Mo would not change his arrangement, so he could only reluctantly agree. Although Ye Mo said that Cao Xing's task was arduous, Cao Xuan couldn't hear it, which was clearly protecting him in disguise.
After some arrangement, it's time to prepare things. Under Ye Mo's arrangement, the soldiers were divided into two routes, one way was to select the soldiers of the daredevils among the soldiers, and the other way was to go to the villages near Huangshui to collect sheepskins.
Sheepskin is an artifact used by the villagers near Huangshui, and they use sheepskin rafts to cross the river. The sheepskin raft is made of a complete sheepskin, tied to the mouth, blown full, several connected together, can cross the people above the yellow water, when not in use, the gas is released, and it does not occupy space.
Ye Mo asked people to collect sheepskins, just to see the tightness of the sheepskins, waterproof and insulated, so that the physical health and combat effectiveness of those soldiers who were lurking in the yellow water could be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
The task of collecting sheepskins was handed over to Xu Rong, who was kind and would not be too rude. Let Xu Rong go to the people to collect sheepskins, which can minimize the occurrence of the oppression of the people by the scholars.
In Ye Mo's previous life, he knew that the people were the most important force to be reckoned with. In the previous life, even after the people of the Han nationality were polished off the edges and corners by Confucianism, they would rise up in the unbearable situation, not to mention that the folk martial arts are prevalent now, and the folk are more light and chivalrous, and it is not uncommon to draw a knife and kill people without saying a word. Otherwise, Yang Zhai would not have picked out nearly a hundred prisoners to help defend the city at once.
If a reckless man like Dian Wei is allowed to collect sheepskins, he will strictly abide by military rules, and this appearance will also scare many big girls and little daughters-in-law. The Han Dynasty is a dynasty that attaches great importance to appearance, Ye Que can take the position of Situ with a disabled body, in addition to taking refuge in the Ten Standing Servants and making up a good story, that is, Ye Que's appearance is not bad, and he is even very handsome, otherwise it is impossible to get Diao Chan's heart.
Xu Rong went to collect sheepskins and didn't press the table for the time being, just said that Dian Wei selected the daredevils in the pass, first of all, those experienced two-handed swordsmen. Dian Wei has not been training these people for a short time, so he naturally knows the combat effectiveness of these people. Dian Wei had seen other troops, and Dian Wei naturally couldn't compare to his soldiers even if he went to the camp first. Especially after trying his best to survive the battle of Yang Zhai, Dian Wei felt that the combat effectiveness of these soldiers had improved to a great level.
Therefore, Dian Wei first brought these people with them. First, they understand each other and trust each other very much. Second, these people are strong in combat, and it can be said that one is not a problem for ten. As for the rest, just choose a few hundred strong soldiers to make up the number.
