Chapter 13 The first general of the first harvest

On the Surabaya Bridge, the morale-boosting Xuzhou soldiers and horses have been killed to the north bank to pursue the small group of looting Cao soldiers, Tao Ying pulled Xu Sheng, and called Chen Deng again, pointing at Xu Sheng Tao Ying hurriedly introduced: "Yuanlong, come here, God really lives up to me, yesterday I told you that God will send me to kill Cao thieves, today I really met, it is really heaven will not destroy my Xuzhou!" ”

Tao Ying looked up to the sky and laughed, Chen Dengleng was stunned for a long time, when did he tell him that the sky would send him a hand? And the people in front of him are still some yellow-faced and thin-skinned, and they look like malnourished bear children from poor families, and they look like they are fleeing in tatters, is Tao Ying crazy?

Isn't that crazy? Otherwise, how could it run like a whirlwind, like a gust of wind, from the south section of the bridge to the north end of the bridge? I can't shout, if I am killed by Cao Bing, before I reach Tan County, the Lord will be beaten to death, if this is spread out, Xuzhou will not become the laughing stock of the world?

Tao Yingke didn't care about this, in order to keep Xu Sheng, Tao Yingke could be regarded as having made a bloody investment, he simply grabbed Xu Sheng's hand and said: "Xu Zhuangshi, I am going to take office in Tan County soon, and I will recover the East China Sea in less than a year, and then hit Pengcheng, how about I show you to be the county commander of Lu County?" ”

As soon as he heard that this Tao Ying actually made himself a county magistrate, how could the young Xu Sheng not want to? He just went to the Zhaoxian Pavilion and was still a little brother at the beginning, and he followed others all the way to fight for a long time before he was promoted to the official at an older age, how could such a big ** not be impressed?

"Thank you, Lord Taishou, for your appreciation!"

Xu Sheng was excited and hurriedly knelt down, since then he has finally found the organization and no longer has to flee, this good thing seems to have fallen from the sky, I don't know what life he has accumulated virtue, and suddenly he has changed from a grass citizen to an official, can he not be excited?

accepted Xu Sheng, Tao Ying was also overjoyed, but Chen Deng next to him had a black line on his face. When Tao Ying sent the soldier next to him to find a set of clothes to change into for Xu Sheng, the soldier also shook his head in embarrassment.

These clothes are all one person and one body, who wants to give their clothes to others!

Tao Ying was generous, grabbed a person next to him who was wearing clothes like a general, and shouted: "You give him the clothes, and I will give you another one when I turn around!" ”

The general still wanted to say no, but Chen Deng next to him hurriedly persuaded: "Lord Taishou, it is too reckless to appoint officials at this time, it is better to wait for the whole army to cross the Surabaya River and then think about it in the long run!" ”

Tao Ying was just blindly happy and just received a famous general in history, where do you care so much, as the so-called I say you can do it, you can do it, if you can't do it!

Tao Ying didn't care about other people's feelings, and when he went up, he took off the armor of the generals around him and asked Xu Sheng to take off his torn clothes and put them on, Xu Sheng held the armor that had just been stripped off and said: "Thank you for the good intentions of the lord, but I'm afraid that this thousand-commander's clothes are not suitable!" ”

When he heard that it was a small commander, Tao Ying was a little unhappy, and said directly: "The official is too small, I think you will be a pioneer officer!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Deng hurriedly dragged Tao Ying and said: "Lord Taishou is afraid that he was shocked just now, I just look at this commander, this strong man has repelled more than a dozen Cao soldiers, and he must be extremely talented, so it is better to be a personal captain by the side of Lord Taishou!" ”

How can the vanguard officer be sealed casually, and now that the morale has just been mobilized, if the vanguard officer is changed on the spot, won't it make those veterans feel cold?

And the young man in front of him didn't seem to show earth-shattering skills, any 100 commanders in the army killed a few Xiao Cao soldiers, and seeing that there were nearly 30 people behind him, presumably these people were not killed by him alone.

So Chen Deng, who was outstandingly resourceful, hurriedly used an excuse to remove his official, although he was surprised and delighted, but Xu Sheng also seemed to be extremely happy, he couldn't be a pioneer, but suddenly he became a celebrity around the commander and Taishou, how could he not be happy?

With a pop, Xu Sheng knelt on the ground and said, "Lord Xie is promoted, and the little one must repay the grace of the lord!" Chen Deng waved his hand to let him get up quickly, Tao Ying was busy wanting to give him more officials, but Chen Deng pointed to the soldiers fleeing around on the shore and said: "Lord Taishou appreciates you is your blessing, but you have to have real skills, Taishou has limited soldiers and horses around you, so your soldiers and horses have to be won over by yourself, you now go to Bei'an to reorganize a thousand defeated troops to report, Lord Taishou still has to deploy battles, you can retreat!" ”

Xu Sheng seemed to want to say something grateful, but Chen Deng gave him a few looks, and Xu Sheng didn't dare to offend him, so he could only retreat in a hurry. Tao Ying still wanted to keep him by his side to talk more, Chen Deng hurriedly persuaded: "Lord Taishou, we have just crossed the river, and we don't know how many defeated troops there are on the north bank of the river, and we don't know how many Cao soldiers there are, let's hurry up and gather the soldiers and horses, otherwise if the Cao army suddenly comes, won't our army want to die in the river?" ”

Tao Ying thought about it, so he let Xu Sheng leave for the time being, presumably he was a refugee who gave him such a big official, he shouldn't leave, if he really left, it would only be providential.

When Tao Ying crossed the Surabaya River, the cavalry also crossed the Surabaya Bridge along the bridge. Cavalry is a class of troops that is scarce in the Central Plains, because war horses are very expensive, and cavalry is particularly mobile in the plains, so they are all the arms that every powerful and powerful want to have.

When the cavalry crossed the river, Tao Ying asked Chen Deng what to do. Chen Dengdao might as well let the cavalry go to pursue the Cao army that was robbing everywhere, and at the same time stabilize the scattered Xuzhou soldiers and horses.

Tao Ying nodded and asked him to make arrangements, so all the more than 500 cavalry were sent out to hunt down the scattered Cao army, except for more than 100 who stayed behind.

More and more soldiers on the bridge gathered, and more and more soldiers crossed Surabaya, and the river soaked their clothes, and they shivered in the wind.

Tao Ying has never fought in a war after all, and he doesn't know anything about the art of war, so he is quite good at inventing some weapons, if he knew that he could lead troops to fight so quickly, it was really better not to study papermaking for a period of time, and how interesting it would be if gunpowder was made first!

Seeing that the day was turning from morning to noon, as more and more people crossed Surabaya, and heard that the officers and soldiers had arrived, the people who had fled from all directions also gathered around.

In order to prevent the enemy from suddenly attacking, Tao Ying still did not demolish the only bridge on Surabaya, but put all the grain and grass on the south bank of the river and set up a large camp.

Tao Ying followed Chen Deng's suggestion and set up three large battalions on the north bank of the river, one large battalion had nearly 3,000 people, at this time those craftsmen brought over could play a role, and everyone was busy cutting down trees everywhere, but fortunately, there was not so much land developed in this generation in this generation, and many places were deserted forests.

Everyone was already busy with each other, and Tao Ying looked at the place where the beacon fire was burning in the distance, there must be a war going on in that place, but now he couldn't rush to the rescue. After a while, the generals who had gone to gather the rout returned, as did the generals who were responsible for gathering the refugees.

After a busy morning, Tao Ying's army gathered nearly 700 defeated soldiers, Tao Ying asked them whose army they were, they said that they were Cao Bao's soldiers, Cao Bao ordered Liu Bei to guard Tan County, personally led the troops to fight in the ban, but was defeated by the ban, and was beaten by the ban and fled in all directions.

Now that Cao Bao has fled to the city, these soldiers have been killed!
