(I ask for collection, recommended votes ^_^)
Returning to the Guandu camp with the army, Cao Cao told Cao Zhang that he was rewarded after the war and then assigned him to the east camp, this camp leaned under the earthen wall, only five steps from the front of the camp There is a staircase that can walk to the top of the five-meter earthen wall, which is also an important place to defend against enemy attacks, the camp has 1,200 sergeants, all of them are infantry elite tiger guards, and most importantly, the 800 Yuan army captives who were seized of horses and armor weapons are also arranged by Cao Cao to this camp, so that Cao Zhang can recruit them.

This is another test that Cao Cao gave him after Cao Zhang beheaded Yan Liang, if the general can't recruit the enemy army for his own use, then he is a mediocre general, at least Cao Cao has always thought so, because he has more generals under him.
Cao Zhang also felt quite troubled about how to recruit these 800 sergeants, but Chen Zhi said that it was easy, because they all saw that Yan Liang was beheaded by Cao Zhang, and they were afraid of Cao Zhang.
And according to his investigation, these sergeants are all selected by the powerful from all over the country, and the cavalry formed after Yuan Shao was selected again, unlike the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Cao army, which is generally the children of the Cao family, and the subordinates are scattered, and the loyalty is not high, which is also a disadvantage of the Yuan army.
Therefore, Chen Zhi thought that as long as Cao Zhangxu was generous and let the soldiers who originally belonged to Cao's army treat them well, they could be recruited to surrender, and as long as they did not use the surrendered troops at the moment of crisis, it should not be too dangerous to stay in the battalion.
Cao Zhang did as Chen Dao said, and sure enough, the group of soldiers stayed in the tent honestly, but to completely recruit them, maybe they had to wait until Yuan Shao was broken.
Life in the camp is boring, Cao Pi was arranged in Xiying at this time, but it did not affect him at all to come to Cao Zhang's camp, his most concerned question is, how Cao Zhang beheaded Yan Liang to death, Cao Zhang said back and forth countless times, but every time Cao Pi still listened with interest.
On this day, after Cao Zhang reluctantly recounted the experience at that time, the drums in the camp sounded, which was the drum of the generals who had summoned them, and it was the third day of returning to the Guandu camp at this time.
After the three drums, all the generals came to the big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao was in a high position, and said: "The scout has come to report that Yuan Shao's army has arrived in the north of the chasm water, and is now cutting down trees and repairing bridges, intending to cross the water and camp, how do you think Lone should deal with it?" ”
Guo Jia on the side said: "The chasm water channel is not wide, the water flow is not urgent, I am afraid that Yuan Shao is not to cross the river and camp, because my military camp is built near this water, occupying the geographical advantage, if Yuan Shao rashly crosses the river, our army will attack He will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and his strategists will be judged, although Guo Tu does not have the talent of the world, but he is also a rare strategist, and he will not make such a stupid move." ”
Cao Cao asked, "Then what does Feng Xiao think Yuan Shao is going to do?" ”
Guo Jia replied: "I'm afraid that we will fill half of the chasm river, set up camp with soil, confront our army within 300 steps, build an arrow tower wall and shoot rockets into our barracks, causing chaos in our barracks, and then quickly build a pontoon bridge to cross the river and storm our army's camp." ”
Cao Cao nodded when he heard this: "This move is indeed feasible, so what can we do to solve it?" ”
Liu Ye said at this time: "You can cut down wood to build a thunderbolt car, and when the wall of Yuan Shao's arrow tower is built, you can use a thunderbolt car to attack it with a boulder, which will inevitably make his treacherous plot go down the drain!" ”
Cao Cao laughed and said, "Zi Yang's words are just right!" After saying that, he asked Le Jin to lead the people to cut down trees and build cars and carry stones.
After Le Jin received the order, Cao Cao continued: "Since it is across the river, we should also make a pontoon bridge as soon as possible, in case of emergency!" Zihuan, this matter will be handled by you with 5,000 people! ”
Cao Pi replied: "No! After speaking, he received the order and went out of the account.
Cao Cao continued: "Now that the enemy is outnumbered, you should hold on and wait for the opportunity, and ensuring the smooth flow of the grain route is the first priority. ”
Xiahou Yuan replied: "I will live up to the trust!" ”
Xun You opened his mouth and said: "My lord, the foundation of our army's earthen wall is weak, in order to prevent Yuan Shao from smuggling across the river from the upstream, he should build a long trench to lead the gap to prevent it!" ”
Cao Cao nodded and said, "This is reasonable!" Ziwen, this matter will be handed over to you, give you two thousand people, go and do it immediately! ”
Cao Zhang saluted and agreed, walked out of the tent, returned to the east camp and told Chen Zhi about the task assigned to him by Cao Cao, Chen Zhi smiled and said: "Just use his eight hundred prisoners, these people are cavalry and strong, we let two thousand people supervise, I think there will be no chaos, and it can also sharpen their minds." ”
Cao Zhang nodded and said, "This matter will be handed over to Shu Zhi." ”
Chen Zhi was surprised: "Does the third prince want to give full authority to him?" ”
Cao Zhang said with a smile: "You are my personal follower, my father also said that you are a strong general, that day to kill Yan Liang without your help, it will definitely be difficult to succeed, I have all the credit, I am really embarrassed, now I should also give you something to do, the day of my marquis is just around the corner, open a manor and have private soldiers, those 800 people are the best choice, if you can train them well, let you be their commander, and the opportunity to make military achievements on the battlefield in the future is naturally great, and you can also achieve a fame at that time." ”
Chen Zhi was very grateful when he heard this: "Thank you for the help!" ”
You must know that the promotion of a military general is nothing more than military merit, but it is very difficult for a person to make meritorious service single-handedly, and this is the reason why there are many enemies who are good men, Cao Zhang wants to give Chen to 800 people, that is, let him be in charge alone, and with his subordinates, it will be much easier to make military merits.
And these 800 people are from Yuan Shao's elite cavalry, all of them are extremely high-quality elite soldiers, and thieves are not the same, in the past, Cao Zhang and Lu Bu broke his 5,000 thieves with only 800 people, and now these 800 people are better than the 800 people of the year, so this grace of knowledge is naturally to be thanked,
Cao Zhang smiled: "You're welcome, it's up to you how much you can do in the future, go ahead!" ”
After Chen arrived and left, Cao Zhang sat on the military shop and thought for a while, called a guard in and said: "Before, our army escorted a group of people from Yanjin and Baima to Yingchuan, you now go to Yingchuan to find a farmer who is familiar with the terrain of Yanjin to come to my camp, I have something to ask." ”
The guard replied, "No! ”
Cao Zhang emphasized: "It must be a common man who is familiar with the terrain near Yanjin!" After thinking about it, he said, "You better find a few and I'll ask about it!" ”
The guard took the order, Cao Zhang lay on the ground and pillowed his head with his hands and said: "In the past, when I sent Emperor Xian to Liyang to pay respects to the general, I asked the sergeant Wuchao near Yanjin, and now I have found the people to ask how many trails there are, which is also convenient for sneak attacks in the future, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, when you meet me, you are unlucky!" The strategy of the black nest can be with me Cao Zhang, why bother? At that time, he will make a big military achievement, hehe, hehe... Thinking of this, Cao Zhang smirked.
