Xudu, the northern suburbs of Daying.

It was originally an empty wasteland, overgrown with weeds.

However, since the first year of Jian'an, after Cao Ying welcomed the Han Emperor and moved the capital to Xu County, the wasteland became the concentration of the five schools of the Northern Army.

In peacetime, the five schools of the Northern Army each have camps, which are stationed in all directions of Xudu.

In the camp of the Northern Army, only one school of soldiers and horses is stationed, and there is a cavalry camp.

After all, it can't compare to the ancient Yanjing of nearly 1,000 years in Luoyang, whether in terms of urban pattern or area, Xu Du can't be compared with Luoyang.

In the case of this camp in the northern suburbs, it is more than enough for a school to be stationed, and there is still a lot of space.

However, if the five schools are stationed in the northern suburbs, it is obviously impossible to accommodate the five schools. But if it is in Luoyang, a large camp in the northern suburbs is enough to garrison the five schools. This is also when it was in Luoyang, the camp of the Northern Army was called the Northern Army Camp; In Xudu, it can only be called the northern suburbs. This is only a place where the five schools are concentrated, and if you want to station the soldiers and horses of the five schools, you must at least expand the area several times.

Cao Peng, as a candidate in the Northern Army, does not belong to the fifth school and has his own system.

So after coming to the camp in the northern suburbs, he went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army. At this time, many people had already come to the big tent of the Chinese army...... Tunqi captain Lu Qian, a native of Yanzhou.

As early as when Cao Caidong County raised troops, he followed Cao Ying, the slang Xiangben captain, Taishan Tai guarded, and pacified the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army many times. After Lu Bu was killed in the third year of Jian'an, Zang Ba replaced Lu Qian as the Taishou of Taishan, and Lu Qian was then transferred to Xu Du and served as the captain of the Tun cavalry. This person is not only strong in martial arts, but also has excellent archery skills. What is rare is that Lu Qian is also good at governing the army, knows the art of war, and belongs to the generals of the Nengzhen side in the army. If you go to the place, you have the talent of internal affairs, and Taishan County is under the rule of Lu Qian, and the effect is remarkable.

The captain of the Yue cavalry was worried about it, and he served in the middle and led the soldiers and horses.

He didn't know martial arts, and he didn't know the art of war. But the Yue cavalry battalion was quite effective under his rule.

Captain Shi Lian, a native of Peiguo, Yuzhou.

When he was a teenager, he was a ranger, and after Cao Ying raised the army, he joined as a guest soldier and served as a military captain.

During the expedition, he was a permanent supervisor of the army to monitor the generals. In the fourth year of Jian'an, Shi Jian and Zhang Liao served as captains of shooting after the dog shot and killed Zhenggu.

Infantry military captain Wang Ze, a native of Taiyuan.

In addition to the captains of the four schools, the former captain of Changshui was killed due to rebellion. In view of the fact that the five schools of the Northern Army are stationed in Xudu, the responsibility is heavy, and it is necessary to arrange confidants as generals, so you can rest assured. Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, Cao Ying ordered Hou Lejin of Guangchang Pavilion to take office.

This Lejin is also the first person to follow Cao Ying.

As early as when the princes of the 22nd Road were crusading against Dong Zhuo, Le Jin was Cao Ying's subordinate.

Later, he was moved to the captain of the trap, and he must be the first to climb in every battle, and he is extremely brave. From the third year of the early peace to the present, it has experienced more than 100 battles in the past ten years, which can be described as outstanding military achievements. Therefore, he tired of relocating Kou Lieutenants and guerrilla generals...... He is known for his courage and heroism, and he is very loved by Cao Ying.

Transferring Lejin to Changshui Camp also has the intention of moderating the five schools.

After all, among the five schools, Yile Jin has the highest prestige, the most prominent military achievements, and the most honorable title.

Even Lu Qian, compared with Le Jin, not only lacks qualifications, but also his prestige and military exploits are far from enough.

Therefore, after some twists and turns, the strength and status of the Changshui Camp have not been weakened, but because of the arrival of Lejin, it has become the respect of the five schools.

In addition to the captains of the five schools, there are also five school Simas, who also sit in a big tent.

Tun riding Sima Xu Yi, Yue riding Sima Deng Fan, shooting Sima Xiahou En (not only familiar with Cao Peng, but also Cao Peng has a life-saving grace for him), infantry Sima Dianman, Changshui Sima Xiahou Shang. Judging from the arrangements of the Sima of these five schools, Cao Ying gave Cao Peng great attention and full trust. Sima of the five schools all have the right to temporarily take charge of the army, and Cao Peng has the responsibility of supervising the army...... As soon as Cao Peng came in, Xu Yi and others greeted him one after another.

However, Cao Peng ignored them, but stepped forward and greeted Lejin, Lu Qian and the others first.

This practice also made Lejin and others have a good impression of Cao Peng. It's all in Xudu, who doesn't know that this Cao Peng is a celebrity in front of Cao Ying? Don't look at the young age of others, but this credit and ability are not bad. assisted his brother-in-law and pacified Haixi; followed Xun Yan and sent an envoy to Jiangdong; Stick to Quyang and fight fiercely with the army of Chen Gong; Apprentice to Hu Zhao can also be regarded as a famous teacher.

The big case of Luoyang relied on Cao Peng to crack it.

The killing series shows Cao Peng's courage and bravery...... Now that he has become Cao Ying's clan, who can say clearly about the future future?

Le Jin smiled: "Youxue is here, sit down." ”

"Xie Guangchang Pavilion Marquis."

Cao Peng saluted here, and then greeted Xu Yi and the others, and sat down in the military tent.

"Youxue, do you know the current situation?" Lejin suddenly spoke.

Cao Peng said: "When I talked to Du Tinghou today, I heard him mention it. ”

"What does that friend think, what is the situation?"

"Hmmm......"

Cao Peng couldn't help but hesitate, not knowing how to answer.

Le Jin smiled: "There are no outsiders here, I just asked casually, you don't have to be restrained." ”

Scratching his head, Cao Peng said: "I'm afraid the situation is not good." ”

"Oh?"

"If it's just the white horse lost, it's not enough to be afraid, it's just to take it back. Kepuyang ...... Puyang is the seat of Yanzhou and has a great relationship.

If the lord can't recapture Puyang as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the situation will get worse and worse. ”

Le Jin nodded slightly, "What Youxue said is roughly the same as what we discussed just now."

That's right, Beren...... You continue with what you just said. You just said that Puyang, Baima, and Yanjin are like a full force? ”

Xiahou Shang hurriedly got up and said: "Yes, now that Yuan Shao has occupied Baima, Puyang and Yanjin, Yuan Shao's army can not help but be guaranteed to go south, and the three cities are connected, like snakes in Changshan, echoing each other. If you want to recapture Puyang, you will have to face the attack of Baima and Yanjin Yuan's army, but if you abandon Puyang and ignore it, Yanzhou will have more chaos, so it is very troublesome. ”

Cao Peng knew that Xiahou Shang was Xiahou's real brother.

And in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it seems to have appeared in the past...... Is it the battle of Hanzhong? Anyway, it's not a glorious role, it's very tricky.

But looking at Xiahou Shang's words and demeanor, he is not that kind of useless person.

He is slightly older than Cao Peng, his bearing is quite calm, and when he speaks, he is also the head of the road.

Because of Xiahou Zhen's relationship, the relationship between Cao Peng and Xiahou Shang is quite good. Listening to his analysis at this moment, I couldn't help but nod again and again.

That's right, the situation Cao Ying is facing now is quite embarrassing.

Take Puyang?

It is bound to face the resistance of Yuan Shao's army, and there will definitely be an extremely tragic fight at that time.

If Puyang is not hit, the situation will be even worse, and it is likely that there will be turmoil in the whole of Yanzhou. Yuan Shao's move is really ingenious.

The problem is that in history, Yuan Shao really didn't capture Puyang!

The only variable seems to fall on Liu Bei.

Now that I think about it, it is precisely because of Liu Bei's appearance that Yuan Shao can calmly lay out in Baima.

Historically, Yan Liang attacked the white horse, and was later killed by Guan Yu, and Cao Ying recaptured the white horse. Yuan Shao didn't have time to raise troops against Puyang...... And now, Liu Bei defected to Yuan Shao as he did in history.

But this time, he took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to the road. In other words, Yan Liang was not killed by Guan Yu, so Yuan Shao had enough time to make arrangements. But in the final analysis, the root cause of this situation seems to fall on Cao Peng.

If it weren't for Cao Peng's fanning of the flames, Guan Yu would have beheaded Yan Liang at this time.

Rubbing his nose gently, Cao Peng couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

He was reborn and joined Cao Ying's side.

But in order to balance the game of Guandu, this god has increased the difficulty.

It is imperative that if you want to help Cao Ying win, you must let this battle of Guandu return to the original track of history. But the question is, how to get it back?

Cao Peng couldn't help frowning and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, he felt someone pushing him.

came back to his senses, but saw Deng Fan with a wry smile on his face, raised his hand and pointed at Le Jin, "The Marquis of Guangchang Pavilion is asking you." ”

"Huh?"

Cao Peng looked up, but saw Le Jin looking at him with a smile.

"Guangchang Pavilion Marquis ......"

"Eh, now in the army, the title of Hutina."

"General Le!" Cao Peng hurriedly changed his words. Seeing that Le Jin did not object, he said suddenly: "I was thinking about things just now, but I didn't hear the general's call." ”

"What are you thinking?"

"This ......"

The eyes of Xi Wei and others were condensed on Cao Peng's body.

Cao Peng said: "I'm just thinking about how to kill the snake of Changshan." ”

"Oh? Will the plan be settled? ”

Cao Peng replied forgivingly: "But no...... As Boren said just now, Yuan Shao is like a snake in the mountains on the south bank of the river. Hit its head and tail to, hit its tail and head to, and extremely belly is full of head and tail. It is said that to deal with this snake of the mountains, you can pinch its head, press its tail, and cut off its belly. But to do it, I'm afraid it's not easy. Our army is now at a disadvantage, and it is hard to fight with Yuan's army, but I am afraid that it is not the original intention of the lord. ”

Le Jin and Lu Qian's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Pinch their heads, press their tails, and cut off their bellies...... That's a fitting description. But the problem is that if you do this, it will be equivalent to attacking the three places at the same time and having a hard-to-head battle with Yuan Shao. If the forces of the two sides are equal, then there can be a battle. But the problem is that the disparity in strength between the two sides is too great.

Yuan Shao's troops are several times the number of troops that Cao Ying can mobilize now.

If you want to break the snake of Changshan on the bank of the Yellow River, I am afraid it is not an easy thing.

However, Cao Peng's nine words did make Le Jin and others look up to him. Including Xiahou Shang, he also nodded lightly on the side.

"Yes, it's really not easy to break the snake of Changshan."

Cao Peng said suddenly: "General Le, in fact, you and I are talking nonsense here, it is difficult to have any use, why don't you find someone who understands and ask?" ”

"Understand?"

"There are so many strategists under the lord's account, there must be a master who can come up with a solution.

In my opinion, Du Tinghou will definitely be able to figure it out. It's just that he has never liked to be in the limelight, and he will definitely not speak if he doesn't force him. When I was in Nanyang, I heard people say: Gu Zang Yijia is a last resort...... Actually, why not ask him for advice? ”

Deng Fan secretly stabbed Cao Peng, which means to say: Is there such a sentence? Why haven't I heard of it?

Cao Peng turned his head and glared at him, Deng Fan immediately settled down like an old monk, and no longer reacted...... "Yes, Du Tinghou is talented, and he must have a plan." Xi Xuan suddenly spoke.

From his tone, it can be heard that he is not too convinced.

"By the way, why hasn't Du Tinghou come yet?"

Wang Ze couldn't help but ask curiously: "Didn't Du Tinghou say that Shen Shi ordered troops?" It's almost time to come here, why hasn't he come here yet? ”

"When I went out of the city just now, I saw him go to Sikong Mansion."

Lu Qian replied on the side.

At this moment, I overheard a report from the junior colonel outside the account, "Guangchang Pavilion Marquis, Sikong ordered you to go to Sikong Mansion immediately, there is a military affairs to discuss." ”

"I'll go right over."

Le Jin stood up, his expression a little solemn, "It seems that the lord doesn't have a proper plan yet."

I'll go to see the lord first, and the affairs here will be in charge of Zike for the time being. When you come back, please tell me on my behalf...... Regardless of whether the lord's side is decisive or not, there will definitely be action. The order was given, and the three armies rested on the spot, and as soon as they had an order, they immediately took action. ”

"Whoa!"

Everyone got up one after another and intervened in response.

Le Jin left in a hurry, but Deng Fan couldn't help but say, "Ah Fu, why are you provoking Jia Xu again?" ”

"Where did I provoke him?"

Deng Fan smiled bitterly: "Aren't you just forcing him with those words just now?" If he can't think of a countermeasure, the lord will definitely blame.

You're under his command, and when the time comes, he'll be going to trouble you again. ”

Deng Fan lives in Cao Mansion, but he knows very well how Jia Xu tossed Cao Peng during this time.

Cao Peng smiled, "Don't worry, I don't dare to say anything about others, but Jia Wenhe will definitely be able to come up with a way."

You don't know, that guy is losing toothpaste, and if you don't squeeze him, he can't spit it out. He must be forced, or he will be uncomfortable. ”

"Toothpaste?"

"Uh...... It's a metaphor, you know. ”

Cao Peng suddenly realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, so he diverted the topic in a few words. Fortunately, it was Deng Fan, who was already familiar with the way he spoke, so he didn't ask. has been staying with Cao Peng for a long time, and often listens to him say some words that don't match.

Comprehend, comprehend the meaning!

Cao Peng sneered in his heart: Jia Wenhe, you also have today?

—————————————————————————— Jia Xu came to the camp in the northern suburbs and counted the soldiers and horses on the hour.

Today in Sikong Mansion, the quarrel is very strong. It is difficult to agree on how to deal with Yuan Shao's attack. However, there is one thing that is very unified, that is, it is necessary to try to take Puyang back in the shortest possible time...... The five colonels of the Northern Army, together with the Wuwei Army and the Tiger Ben Army, a total of 8,000 people, will accompany Cao Ying on the expedition.

Xiahou Yuan set aside from Chen to attack, and the soldiers were sour jujubes; Yu Ban retreated eighty miles to the south, echoing with Zang Baxiang, so as not to be attacked, and at the same time, it could temporarily stabilize the situation in Yanzhou. Xu Huang fled to Lihu and joined Li Dian. Li Dian led his troops and horses to the north for thirty miles, forming a persecution of Puyang. At the same time, he ordered Xiahou to garrison Hujiao Pass, while Cao Ren ordered the Yulin Army to stay in Xudu and guard Gyeonggi.

Those who accompanied Cao Ying on the expedition still had 3,000 tigers and leopards...... After Jia Xu ordered the soldiers and horses, he just sat down to catch his breath, and a small colonel came, saying that it was a matter of time, and asked Du Tinghou to go and discuss.

Not long after I came out of Sikong Mansion, what did you do with me?

Jia Xu couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly tidied up his clothes, took Jia Xing, and hurried to Sikong Mansion.

"Lord, why did you summon Xu to come?"

When he came to Sikong Mansion, Jia Xu saw that Cao Ying was sitting upright in this yatang, and Guo Jiaxunyu was accompanying him.

Cao Ying smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.

"Wenhe, sit down."

"Ah, sit down."

When he sat down, he found Guo Jia and Xun Yu on the side, with weird smiles on their faces.

In my heart, a bad omen suddenly appeared, and I couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Wenhe, ah......"

"Humble duty."

"Counting it, you've been here for almost three months.

Hehe, how are things going? ”

"Back to the lord, I am proud of the lord's love and entrusted with important tasks, and I can't help but be apprehensive, so I do my best to do things, everything is not bad."

"But you ......" The smile on Cao Ying's face suddenly retracted, and his voice was hideous, "I treat you very well, why don't you want to help?" ”

"Huh?"

"I have long known that Wen and you have no last resort, and they have a plan for the Ghost Valley.

Now, it is a time of critical survival, and everyone is offering advice and advice, only Wenhe, leisurely, and unhappy. Could it be that when Yuan Benchu arrives, will he take my head and offer it? ”

These words are heart-wrenching.

was so frightened that Jia Xu knelt on the ground with a thud, "Lord, how dare you have a second heart for your love?" ”

"Hmph, since that's the case, then you can come up with a strategy for me to break the enemy."

"Ah......h

"You can go back now, tomorrow morning, if there is no good plan, I will take your head...... Let's go down. ”

"Lord!"

"Not yet."

Cao Ying shouted loudly, scared Jia Xu into a cold sweat, and withdrew from the yahall in a gray manner.

As soon as Jia Xu left with his front foot, an anxious look suddenly appeared on Cao Xu's face.

"Fengxiao, Wenruo, do this, okay?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly, "My lord, although Youxue is young, he is not a person who doesn't know the importance of it. Since he said so, it means that Jia Xu will definitely be able to come up with a way. The lord still thinks about it, how to fight Yuan Shao head-on...... Jia has a plan, or it can succeed. ”
