Chapter 409: Here Comes the Fault Finder (Part II)
People say that the Lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers. I have to say that Boss Cao really has his unique talent in the cultivation of the way of control.
This time, seeing that Cao Cao got the news sent back by his own spies, he said nothing with a blue face, and called Xun You, the mastermind of the army, as well as Cao Ren, Cao Chun's uncle and nephew, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang, etc., who were so puzzled, that they all opened their mouths to ask about what happened, so that when Cao Cao's face was like this, Cao Cao, whose face was gloomy and longing to be able to seep water, burst out of his anger as if he had finally reached the boiling point.
"Cheng Yu misunderstood me! Cheng Yu mistook me!! And that Qin Xu! The end is not the Son of Man! In a fit of rage, he threw the silk in his hand in front of the table, and Cao Cao, who almost jumped to his feet, tore his neckline a few times, and scolded without the demeanor of a human being.
Boss Cao seems to be really moving, and he is really hot!
The last time the generals saw Cao Cao so angry, it was when they mistakenly believed that his father was "killed" by the Xuzhou thief Zhang Min, and said that they would slaughter the city of Xuzhou to repay their hatred. With this previous experience, even if they encounter great difficulties and "grievances" in the future, as Cao Cao's close generals, they have never seen their own lords have such big mood swings.
Xun You is at the head of the class at the moment, closest to Cao Cao. Caught up with the first two steps and picked up the silk silk spread out on the ground, only glanced at it roughly, and then showed a wry smile. It can be regarded as understanding why he successfully got rid of the cage that Xuchang beat himself for a while, and said that he would do it himself to pacify Hebei this time. And at first glance, Qin Xu was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and he actually tossed it to Hebei again. Cao Cao, who had already been made untempered by Qin Xu, was very depressed.
It is no wonder that Cao Cao, who has always been mouthful, literary and graceful, and the most tolerant in front of people, suddenly became so irritable in front of his cronies. In other words, anyone who thinks that the perfect plan is about to succeed, but is spoiled by his own family. There is an urgent plan to pick peaches for his old Cao. This feeling, for Cao Cao, is like a fragrant corn soup that has just been cooked, and when he is about to enjoy the sweetness, he is suddenly thrown into it by his most trusted person A handful of mouse feces and two catties of live flies, and he can still laugh at this time, it is estimated that there is no future life and no future life, right? Hence visible. Cao Cao's performance is good enough!
"Mr. Gongda, what the hell is going on?" Seeing Cao Cao and Xun You's complexions change greatly. Xiahou Yuan relied on being the closest to Cao Cao, carefully turned sideways to avoid Cao Cao's black face, and asked Xun You in a low voice.
"Ahem...... General Miaocai, a letter from the Plains Tanma. said that Cheng Zhongde was good at using soldiers and horses. attacked Xu Xu's assassin Shi Qin Xu, but after several times of no success, he was captured by Qin Xu! Twenty grain warships and nearly a thousand soldiers were all taken to the plain by someone from Naqin! "Except for when Qin Xu came to Chen Liu to form an alliance with Cao Cao in order to rescue the Son of Heaven, Xun You had a few words of greeting with Qin Xu, and there was no other intersection, and the narrative was quite fair, but he handed the silk silk sent by the fast horse in Pingyuan County to Xiahou Yuan. said with a wry smile.
"Qin Xu? Is it Qin Xu and Qin Zhongming who fished out the history of Xuzhou for nothing? Isn't this guy a natural rival with Cheng Yu? Met again? Speaking of which, Cheng Yu too, this time Qin Xu didn't provoke him. Why do you have to provoke this little evil star at this critical moment, but you can't bear it, it's really difficult for the lord to do it! I didn't expect Xiahou Yuan to have the same emotion as Cao Cao after reading the book on the silk silk, which was only two fingers wide and half an arm long. In addition to hating Qin Xu, he also complained more about Cheng Yu's actions, and his face was not very good-looking!
"Cheng Zhongde doesn't know how many times he has been bullied by a child like Qin Xu, and he doesn't even have the strength to fight back, which is also pitiful...... Alas! "Coincidentally, all the generals in this account have been implicated in Qin Xu. Needless to say, Xiahou Yuan said that Qin Xu's fame in the first battle was due to this benevolent brother; Cao Ren's uncle and nephew were once abandoned by Cheng Yu and captured by Qin Xu when they were attacking Jinan, so Xu Huang was better, but he also felt guilty because he "betrayed" the agreement with Qin Xu and switched to Cao Cao. Such a combination in the military tent doesn't feel anything on weekdays, but after thinking about it at this time, I also have some sympathy for Cheng Yu's "encounter".
"Cough, gentlemen......" Cao Cao also noticed that because of Qin's affairs in the current account, the generals under his command were a little touched, seeing that Qin Xu's absence had already made these hot-blooded heroes lose their sharpness, and even he was inadvertently affected, and his angry temper was also smoothed a lot, which was not a good sign, and he coughed lightly and said: "Although Cheng Zhongde's vain automatic soldiers this time are annoying, it can be regarded as a mistake that made us wait to learn about Qin Xu leading troops to the plains, and his meaning is very clear. It must also have a plan for Hebei affairs, and he intends to step in and come in, so can you have a good plan to teach you? ”
"My lord! The plain city is small, the location is flat, there are no mountains in the territory, although there is no good port near the river, there is no danger to defend, and the transportation of military rations is also extremely difficult. This time, even if someone from Na Qin brought thousands of soldiers and horses on this trip, and combined with the troops of Zhang Liao, who was already under the command of Lu Bu, it was only more than 10,000 people, in fact, there was no need to be afraid! Why don't you order the last general to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters, how about going to meet this guy? "Xiahou Yuan, the divine general who achieved Qin Xu's position in the Lu Bu army, is still haunted by the battle in the nameless valley more than two years ago, although the eldest brother does not laugh at the second brother, and none of the generals present have not suffered losses under Qin Xu, but Xiahou Yuan still wants to find an opportunity to "prove" his strength. The plain is adjacent to Dongjun, and it is not far from Puyang, for Xiahou Yuan, the fierce general of the Cao clan who has been in Puyang for a long time, he has a deep understanding of the plain, which is almost equal to the undefended, and he said at the moment.
"Wonderful talent and bravery, a certain knows it! However, Zhongde did a bad job in this matter, which made our army really lose money, if he attacked again, I am afraid that the heroes of the world will laugh at my Cao Mengde's small belly and chicken intestines. And now Zhongde is in his hands, as if he has a shield. The plains are good, but how to keep Zhongde safe is the most important thing! Seeing that Xiahou Yuan took the initiative to ask for battle, Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction, in the end, he was still a reliable military general of his own family. Even if he knows that Qin is not a martial artist, he is also a hard stubble. also dared to rush to attack the plains to take revenge, he really knew his own intentions best. But that being said, this gesture still has to be done. After all, Cheng Yu is unreliable no matter what. After all, it was the subordinates of the Cao family, who had previously disregarded the feelings of the so-called allies and wanted to use this matter to make a "move" against Qin Xu before making a move against Hebei, if he disregarded the will of the main minister and disregarded Cheng Yu's safety, the damage to the morale of the army of his family could not be replaced by a small plain city.
Besides, although Cao Cao is also eager to take this opportunity now, because of Cheng Yu's reason. Let someone Qin have a good chance of seeing the newly trained tiger and leopard cavalry of the Cao family, Cao Cao's self-proclaimed combat power is not at all under the camp of the first strongest soldier of the Lu Bu army.
Of course, if someone Qin has bad luck. Dying in the chaos of the army, that really opened God's eyes. But the problem is that for this Hebei incident, Cao Cao almost dispatched more than half of the soldiers and horses under his control to assemble in Baimadu. The armies in the rear who were holding the border passes. If it is said that defending against other forces will attack while Cao Jun's forces are empty, Cao Cao is confident that it is more than enough. But if it was because he "hurt" Qin Xu for no reason, and provoked Lu Bu to send troops desperately to attack the already somewhat dark rear, according to Cao Cao's words, he would really be homeless. Therefore, even if Xiahou Yuan's words were really Cao Cao's thoughts, he still did not get Cao Cao's immediate approval. The words made Xiahou Yuan's face show a little wistful.
"Lord, since you said Qin Xu's original intention this time. I also want to get a piece of the Hebei affair, if that's the case. According to a certain point of view, Brother Zhongde's life should be worry-free. Since this Qin assassin can let the lord get this news, then what he asks for is nothing more than to let the lord vote on the rat trap, and when planning the two states, he is tied. Moreover, since Qin Xu had already noticed the matter of Montenegro, if the lord really sent General Miaocai to attack the plain after learning the news, wouldn't it just happen to fulfill his wishes. Xun You pondered for a while, raised his head and said: "The lord held the Son of Heaven Fu Festival this time, and was ordered to mediate the affairs of the two states in Hebei, originally there was great righteousness in hand, if it really left the truth that he was involved with the Black Mountain thieves before entering Hebei, I am afraid that it is not the result that Qin wanted?" In this way, the lord's trip to Hebei will definitely be taken advantage of by people who are already eyeing Hebei, and the lord's previous pretentiousness will be in vain. Thinking about it left and right, which is not beautiful. It's better to plan the plan, how about a salute before the soldiers? ”
"Salute before soldiers?" Listening to Xun You's reasoning, Cao Cao nodded slightly, squinted and thought for a long time, and asked, "What is Gongda's strategy, you can tell me in detail." ”
"No!" Xun You saw that Cao Cao was not disturbed by this sudden incident, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "Qingzhou is adjacent to Jizhou, and the plain is on the side of Jizhou, so this Qin Xu's plan to borrow Cheng Zhongde's affairs this time can already be known." It's just that with the benevolent heart of the lord who can't bear to see his subordinates suffer because of this, he is just calculating in vain. In this case, why didn't the lord simply ask someone to go to Qin Xu's place, without saying anything else, only saying that he was asking him to mediate the affairs of the two states together, and secretly promised that he could seek Jizhou. Let's earn back Brother Zhongde first and then talk about the rest, how about it? ”
"What? Want to send Jizhou to this guy for nothing? Mr. Gongda, you said it lightly! Do you know how much effort the lord has put into these two states? Just gave it to Qin Xu for nothing, even if it was just a talk, he was not convinced! I only heard the meaning of Xun You's words, and there was actually a sense of peace with Qin Xu, which made Xiahou Yuan, who had just been told by Cao Cao to say something pointed, not knowing how to answer, was ready to go with evil fire in his belly, and he didn't care about Cao Cao's warning eyes and Xun You's wry smile, and said bluntly: "If you want me to say, it's better to follow what I said before, just cross the river with a certain army and send troops to the plain, but you can also make a little bit of a workaround, a certain way is counted as one way, and the other way will be sent by Mr. Gongda to earn that Qin Xu according to what you said, as long as he is willing to let Cheng Zhongde go, If he doesn't follow the slightest disobedience, doesn't he accuse Meng De of colluding with Montenegro? Then simply use this excuse to only say that there are black mountain thieves in the plains, and so-and-so will also go to search! The lord came here on the emperor's order, is it possible that he is still afraid of his little Xuzhou assassin history? ”
"General Miaocai has misunderstood so-and-so!" Although Xun You is the mastermind of Cao Cao's army, but for Cao Cao's relatives like the Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers, after all, it is still a layer away, hearing Xiahou Yuan say this, Xun You's slightly wooden face showed a wry smile, and said: "Why don't you know the current situation of the lord." In order not to use the courtiers and the Son of Heaven before, the lord was also greatly wronged. Although in the end, General Cao Chun was the main proclamator of this slanderous revenge. But because of this incident, it almost made the lord lose his reputation for almost a lifetime, which is not easy. This is a matter of urgency. It is in the words that the hypothesis really reveals a little bit that the lord will give Jizhou to Qin Xu to calm his heart, and at the same time find an opportunity to clear the matter of the lord and the black mountain thief, and drag this Qin someone left and right first, just wait for the lord to successfully recover the state, connect the territory together, and cross the five states of Yan, Henan, Yong, and Sili, and the strength will inevitably increase greatly. Thinking that Qin Xu would not be stupid enough to have Zhang Liao's talent and Chen Ping's wisdom, he would not be stupid enough to land two states. For the sake of Jizhou, which is separated by a big river, and let Qingzhou and Xuzhou be safe, as well as Yangzhou, which has long been eyed, regardless of it? At that time, this long and the other disappeared. He and I were in the form of two armies. Is it possible for General Miaocai to be afraid that he will still want to use the Black Mountain incident to intend to get involved in Jizhou? However, General Miaocai's statement is also quite reasonable, and if he talks about a matter of his own loss, if he does not have some soldiers to protect him, he really has little chance of winning. General Miaocai's words are really good! ”
"Huh? What Gongda said is very true! And Miaocai is worthy of the word! "I have to say that Cao Cao doted on Xiahou Yuan and often called him a wise general, not only because of the in-laws of Cao and Xiahou. said this, even Xun Yu nodded after hearing it. Praise for goodness again and again. And Xun You's explanation and praise made Cao Cao show a rare smile, and after a little thought, he cheered up Xiahou Yuan and said, "That's fine!" I think that Qin Xu is just a yellow-mouthed son, but he has a little wisdom, and according to the benefits of the strong army under his father-in-law Lu Bu, he is lucky to beat our army a few times. If you have this wonderful plan, you will be able to help! He divided his troops and allocated 10,000 Miaocai foot soldiers, 3,000 sailors, and 100 clippers to be strong. Cooperate with Gongda's plan! ”
"The last general commands!" Xiahou Yuan said: "Meng De has sent a letter to Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi before, ordering them to come to Baimadu to meet in order to meet the emperor. Although there has been no response yet, a certain person has expected that the two will not dare to leave the state and county easily. In this way, at this time, it is the time for Meng De to gather troops to wait for the two families, and it is really not suitable to divide too many troops to be underestimated by the two. According to some calculations, this plain is just a small city. I think that the more soldiers Qin has, the more he can't show it in the city! Moreover, the lord also said that this action should only be for the person sent by Mr. Gongda Tian as a guard, so there is no need for these many soldiers and horses, only 5,000 soldiers and 1,000 sailors are allowed to operate the boat in case of a change! ”
"Is this true? Thinking that Qin Xu is not a good person, he must not take it lightly! Cao Cao's voice was solemn, but he didn't explicitly oppose his own divine general, but said with some concern.
"Rest assured, my lord!" Xiahou Yuan said with a big grin: "Maybe before the end comes, Mr. Gongda's lobbyist has already rescued Cheng Yu's house." Just now, Xiahou Yuan was a little inferior because he misunderstood what Xun You said, and then when he heard Xun You's explanation, he recognized his "plan", and he also went downstairs along the ladder, which was also a goodwill with Xun You, who had a good relationship.
"When is Miaocai going to send troops? If it is later, I am afraid that Qin someone has won the merger, and Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi of Hebei Erzhou have already been said in a certain letter about the two-sided war, and there are treacherous plots to play tricks for no reason, and it takes a lot of effort. Cao Cao, who was talked about by Xiahou Yuan and Xun Yu for a long time, and was worried that it was easy to get the promise of the two states but was taken advantage of by Qin Xu to get a piece of the pie, was originally a heroic man who did what he said and acted resolutely, and just recognized Xiahou Yuan's strategy, so he urged: "Hmm! If you send Xu Gongming as your deputy general, you must remember that when it is difficult to choose, you must consult with Gongming more! ”
"Rest assured, my lord! Since Qin Xu dared to come to Hebei, but he was cowering in the plain city, and he also intended to pay attention to Jizhou, acting so secretively, and having a bold ambition, he naturally wanted to meet again This person who was able to use the remnants of four hundred years ago suddenly attacked under the condition of insufficient training of a certain soldier, causing a roar in the camp and becoming famous. This time, if you can't talk about it, it just happens to let a certain blood wash away the hatred of the day! But don't worry, Yuan is quite measured, and he will definitely discuss with Gongming more in case of trouble, and he will not disappoint the lord! ”
"I hope so!" Regarding the words of this brother of his own, to be honest, Cao Cao has heard it several times. In fact, Cao Cao's original intention was not that he was worried that Qin Xu would reveal the news with such fanfare, and whether there would be anything behind. Originally, Cao Cao really wanted to follow what Xiahou Yuan said before, and just take the plain directly, anyway, he has the seal of the Son of Heaven in his own house, as long as he doesn't hurt Qin Xu's life on the battlefield, and he is mixed with the Black Mountain thief, I believe Lu Bu will not say anything. But Cao Cao really didn't dare to take his life, which was already a big family, to gamble with Qin Xu on such a hairy boy as Qin Xu to bet on each other's fate, it just so happened that Xiahou Yuan was under Xun You's "inspiration" at the moment, and he had saved up such a "clever plan", so Cao Cao had to agree to Xiahou Yuan first, I just hope that no matter what method these two people use, they must drag Qin someone for more than ten days! (To be continued......)
