Chapter 20: Reinforcements
On the quiet side of the Surabaya River, Yu Ban pointed to another piece of paper for the military advisor to read, and the military advisor paused and stopped talking.
Yu Ban asked him to read it, and the military advisor had no choice but to read: "General Yu, although I know that leaking heaven will cost you a long life, I would like to give you a hexagram." Let me first say one thing to prove that what I said is not false, Cao Cao will retire from the army in February next year, and Lu Bu will also have a battle with Cao Cao, at that time, oh no, it will be Yanzhou Zhang Miao who will betray your boss and join Lu Bu in April next year, and Lu Bu will fight Puyang with your boss, of course your old battle will be defeated. However, in the battle of Juye, Lu Bu will be defeated and come to me.
Of course, this is nonsense, General Yu will be a generation of famous generals, but unfortunately he will be captured in a battle with Guan Yu, and then he will be released, but Cao will no longer use you, and then you will come to kill Cao Cao to surrender. It's just that now is the time for me to employ people, and I hope that the general will come to surrender as soon as possible and share the glory of tomorrow! ”
After the military advisor finished reading, Yu Ban couldn't help laughing: "It's just nonsense!" I swore allegiance to my lord in the forbidden way, how could I vote for such a hairy child? ”
Yu Ban laughed and grabbed the piece of paper and tore it to shreds, and after tearing the paper, he said to the nearly 100 people beside him: "This is the enemy's divisive plan, you must not be fooled, who wants to report this matter to the lord, let the lord and I have a gap and will not be forgiven!" ”
After speaking, Yu Ban led the troops towards Tan County!
Watching the people and horses on the opposite side disappear from a distance, Tao Ying wiped the sweat on his face and said: "Fortunately, Yuanlong taught me to build more camps, otherwise if Yu Ban led the troops to rush across the Surabaya River today, how could my 4,000 soldiers and horses be defeated by the forbidden soldiers?" ”
The little soldier next to him also kept nodding and patting his ass: "It's the general who expects the enemy to be thousands of miles away......
"Don't be a sycophant, let people build a pontoon bridge immediately, and all cross the river today!"
After Tao Ying finished speaking, the herald hurriedly ran to pass the order, and Tao Ying asked people to add fuel and vinegar to write a battle report and send it to Xiapi. In less than a day, the two battle reports were quickly transmitted to Tao Qian's Mansion in Xiapi City.
Xuzhou is under Picheng, and the weather is still a little cold. Tao Ying led the troops outside, but there were always a lot of people who cared about him, in the quiet Tao Qian's study, the fragrance was curling, the potter beside the bed couldn't help but yawn, and the potter who had not slept all night made Sun Qian very worried.
Sun Qian pushed open the door with a squeak from outside the door, and walked over to persuade: "The eldest prince should go back and rest, the eldest prince has not closed his eyes for two days, if the eldest prince has any three long and two short, we will ...... Xuzhou."
The potter was a filial son, a typical person who was baptized by Confucianism. Although he could fall asleep standing up, the potter still said, "Don't drive back to rest, I'll just stay here." In the past few days, my father's health has become worse and worse, and my second brother has been out for a few days with no news. Is there any news of my second brother now? ”
When Tao Ying was mentioned, Sun Qian was secretly speechless, and it was true that Tao Ying led his troops to defend Tan County, but Surabaya was not far away, and he walked for more than two days.
Jian Yong and Mi Zhu didn't know when they came, they pushed open the door with a squeak, the two wanted to salute, and the potter hurriedly asked the two to get up. Because Tao Qian was lying on the bed very weakly, he seemed to be unable to speak.
"Hurry up and excuse yourself two adults, it just so happens that Lord Jian is here, Sun Beijia should go back and rest!"
The potters seemed to care about them, the old ministers of Xuzhou, which made Sun Qian's heart warm. Sun Qian rubbed his bloodshot eyes and nodded, just wanted to retire and didn't want to go to the front yard, but a house slave shouted and ran all the way, and for a while, the entire Tao Mansion was lively.
"The second son is back from sending the war report, and the second son is back from sending the war report!"
A family member shouted behind a soldier, and soon the news spread in the huge Tao Mansion, and even the family couldn't help but ask: "Hey, do you know, the second son is back!" ”
After a series of fabrications, when the Tao Mansion has not released the news, the entire Xiapi City seems to have begun to spread the word that the second son of Tao has cut Cao Cao's head back to the division with a knife in the army!
It is said that when the herald rushed to Tao Qian's study with a piece of paper on his face full of joy, the officials of Xuzhou seemed to have gathered here. Hearing that Tao Ying had a battle report, Tao Qian struggled to remember, and the pottery merchant hurriedly helped Tao Qian to the head of the bed and took a quilt for him to lean on.
The herald entered the room, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "See Lord Thorn Shi, General Tao has sent a battle report from the front!" Tao Qian waved his hand, and the pottery merchant hurriedly said, "Hurry up!" ”
The herald knelt on the ground and opened the paper and read: "My father is above, and my son led the troops and met more than 5,000 Cao elite cavalry on the south bank of Surabaya, and my son seemed to be Cao Cao's general Cao Chun. Son killed nearly 1,000 enemies with 5,000 infantry and the battle, Cao Chun was defeated and left, and Son is about to raise troops to aid Tan County, I hope that my father will send Langya Zang Babu to retreat Cao Bing with me! May my father recover soon, and my son Tao should write it himself! ”
The herald's eyes moistened after reading it, and this exciting news was simply a send-off in the snow! Xuzhou finally won a war, and everything seems to have new hope!
Xuzhou has won, Xuzhou has defeated Cao Cao's most elite cavalry! This news immediately made the whole room cry with joy, and even Tao Qian trembled and raised his hand to receive the battle report, and the pottery merchant hurriedly handed the paper to Tao Qian.
Tao Qian trembled and looked at it and couldn't stop the tears flowing, he was most afraid of Cao Cao, and even his death was because of worry, and now his own son actually won a battle, how could he not be proud?
Looking at the letter, Tao Qian refused to believe it for a long time, and it was not until Sun Qian and the others knelt on the ground and called out to the Lord Hongfu Qitian that Tao Qian seemed to wake up. Tao Qian, who had been resisting taking medicine, struggled for a long time before squeezing out a sentence: "Help, help me, eat, take medicine!" ”
Hearing that Tao Qian took the initiative to start drinking herbs, the pottery merchant excitedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and ran out to heat the medicine. Tao Qian drank the medicine, and Tao Ying sent the good news to untie the knot in his heart, and after a while, Tao Qian's face was much better.
"How many soldiers and horses should Ying'er bring?"
After eating herbs and eating, Tao Qian was obviously much more energetic, as if he had returned to the light. Sun Qian replied beside him that Tao Ying had brought 10,000 soldiers and horses, and Jian Yong saw that he intended to transfer Langya Zang Ba to support and hurriedly persuaded him: "Lord, although you have won this time, you must not transfer Zang Ba to support Tan County." There are General Cao Bao and General Liu in Tan County, plus the second son is enough, Zang Ba should defend the land! ”
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang next to him were also busy admonishing, Tao Qian thought about it and nodded. The reason why Langya has not lost everything is because Zang Ba guarded it, and if Langya was guarded, the northwest gate of Xuzhou was guarded.
Fought a big victory, which made the haze lingering in the hearts of the people of Xuzhou disperse, Tao Qian wanted to agree to Tao Ying's request, but if Zang Ba left, Cao Cao broke Langya, then the land of North Xuzhou will be ruined.
After thinking for a long time, seeing Tao Qian's embarrassed face, Tao Shang hurriedly persuaded: "It's okay not to send General Zang, why don't you send some reinforcements to support the second brother?" ”
This is a compromise solution, although everyone is a little reluctant, but after all, the leader of the army is the son of Lord Thorn Shi, that life is precious, seeing Tao Qian nodded, others did not dare to object, so Tao Qian ordered the tiger talisman to send two thousand soldiers and horses to support Tao Ying.
