Three changes, 12,000 words.

Seeing the pursuers approaching behind him, Lao Xin had to jump out and shout: "Give me a monthly pass!" ”

Please, everyone.

———————————————————— in the big tent of the Chinese army, it was very empty.

Sixteen six-meter-high pillars prop up the big tent, so that people in it will not feel too depressed and depressed. At least compared to the height of less than three meters in the small tent, it is much more comfortable. Sixteen large sticks of butter wax were inserted into the pillars, and the big tent was reflected through.

Cao Ying put his feet in the wooden basin and enjoyed the pleasure of soaking his feet.

And Cao Peng had a long mouth, looked at Cao Ying in a daze, and couldn't turn a corner for a while.

"Let me guard the white horse for a while?"

"Yes!"

Cao Ying motioned to the little school to add some hot water to the wooden basin, and said to Cao Peng: "I also know that this matter may be a little difficult. But the stakes are high, I think about it, only Ah Fu you are the most suitable. If the White Horse is lost, Liu Bei will definitely gallop to the aid of the White Horse, and I will need time to destroy it at that time. But you also know, Liu Bei, not idle! At that time, Xu You will also send troops to rescue, and if he recaptures the white horse, I will suffer from the enemy...... Therefore, I need someone to hold on to the white horse for me, and this person is only you. ”

Thank you so much...... You really think of me!

Cao Peng couldn't help but hesitate.

"Ah Fu, if you don't want to, then forget it......"

"It's not that I don't want to, but I ...... The nephew is young, and if he loses, he is afraid that his father's affairs will be ruined. ”

"No, it won't!" Cao Ying couldn't help laughing and said: "This time Naiwen and Feng Xiao also agreed, and they all thought that you were the most suitable candidate."

Ah Fu, I will keep a school of people for you at that time, and the personnel will be appointed by you. ”

Sure enough, it's the old yin man!

Cao Peng was about to scold Jia Xu in his heart, but on the surface, he still made a calm attitude.

"Do you have a choice?"

"If the nephew chooses, except for the nephew's part, ask the father to leave the infantry battalion.

Dianman, Xu Yi and Deng Fan can be their nephews' deputies to assist in defending the city...... With these three people, it should be enough to deal with the attack of Yuan Shao's army. ”

"Just the three of them?"

Cao Ying couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart.

He thought about a lot of people who could help Cao Peng, but he didn't expect that Cao Peng would pawn the three of them.

Cao Peng said: "These three people and their nephews are friends for eight worships, and they can work together. Moreover, they have cooperated with their nephews, whether it is my sixth brother Deng Fan, or the second brother and third brother, when they were in Haixi, they all listened to my dispatch, so they don't have to worry about anything else.

If he is replaced by someone else in the army, his nephew has shallow qualifications and is young, so he may not be willing to obey orders.

Rather than doing things with their own minds, my nephew would rather trust my second brother and them. There is a saying that brothers work together, and their profits are gold......"

Cao Ying nodded slightly, feeling that what Cao Peng said was quite reasonable.

But these people are all hairy boys, and the eldest Xu Yi is only eighteen years old this year. Giving his big rear to this group of teenagers who are not yet seventy years old together is inevitably a bit of a joke. In any case, it is always a little reassuring.

"Ah Fu, you can choose someone else."

"Uh......"

Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood Cao Ying's thoughts.

Indeed, the four oldest children who are no more than eighteen years old are together, and if they are themselves, I am afraid they will not be at ease.

He thought for a moment, "It's okay to pick another one, but whoever he is, he must be at my disposal." ”

"That's nature."

"Please give your nephew Shang Fang's sword, so that your nephew can order the general."

"Shang Fang's sword?"

"What the nephew means is that he has the right to cut first and then play."

The term Shangfang sword did not appear in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was more about holding festivals, or false festivals, so Cao Ying didn't understand it at first. But first cut and then play...... That's a lot of power. Cao Ying hesitated, but nodded in agreement.

"Yes."

"Then I'll choose to wait."

Burst...... Cao Ying was drinking water, and when he heard Cao Peng's words, he suddenly squirted out, splashing Cao Peng's face.

He coughed violently, waved his hands at the same time, and forced a smile, "Ah Fu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be uncle, you don't care." ”

Cao Peng drooped his face, took a clean cloth towel from the schoolmaster's hand, and wiped off the water stains on his face.

As for this?

However, if you are uneasy and kind, I will not be polite to you. Even if Lao Tzu dies on a white horse, he will drag you over to cushion my back.

And Cao Ying said in his heart: These two people really fought!

"You can change someone."

"As long as the nephew waits in the pavilion, there is one person in the pavilion, which is better than a thousand troops."

"You ......"

"If the Father doesn't agree, forget it.

Anyway, if I want to choose one more person, that is Du Tinghou. If the father doesn't let go, I don't want the others, but I will add to the elbows. ”

It seems that Cao Peng has to be Jia Xu.

Cao Ying looked at Cao Peng with a smile, and gritted his teeth after a while, "Okay, let Du Tinghou stay." ”

"And the sword of Shang Fang, uh......"

"Ah Fu, don't you think about ......"

"Father, this Shang Fang Sword is a deterrent. As you know, I'm young and have little experience, and there will definitely be people who won't be convinced.

But with this Shang Fang sword, the nephew was enough to shock the whole army. ”

"I gave you the Tianxian knife, can you take it?"

"In my account."

"Then use the Tianxian Sword as the sword of Shang Fang, and I will allow you to cut it first and then play."

—————————————————————————————— the battle in Yanjin became more and more intense.

On December 31, the last day of the fourth year of Jian'an, the war became stalemate. As Yuan Shao ordered the army to cross the river faster, Xiahou Yuan was a little overwhelmed! At first, he was storming; But three days later, Yuan's army strengthened, so that Xiahou Yuan had to switch from offensive to defensive, retreat forty miles from Yanjin, back to Jishui, and once again engage in fierce battles with Yuan's army.

After the water, it is Fengqiu County.

This can be regarded as Xiahou Yuan's territory.

Xiahou Yuan is Chen Liu's Taishou, and Fengqiu is under Chen Liu's rule.

Crossing the river from Fengqiu, there is a steady stream of baggage to supply, and reinforcements from Chenliu can only be reached in half a day.

Backed by his own nest, Xiahou Yuan gradually recovered his disadvantages and continued to stick with Yuan Jun.

Xu You, lead the troops to Yanjin!

In the same day, Cao Ying ordered the Changshui Battalion and the Shooting Sound Battalion to attack, and arrived outside the White Horse City without knowing it.

Baima has become an empty city at this time, and the local people are even slaughtered in Yanliang's broken city. This was originally a small county seat, but after the slaughter of the city, it immediately became a temporary place for heavy gatherings. From the north bank of the river, there was a steady stream of baggage, and Yuan Shao also sent the general Kong Shun to garrison Baima. This Kong Shun is also a strong party belonging to Jizhou, and his clan is quite wealthy. It's just that he is very greedy and deceitful, and he knows how to slap horses, so he was appreciated by Yuan Shao and entrusted with important tasks.

No matter who you are, you won't attack the white horse easily.

Because after the capture of Puyang, Yuan Shao's layout on the south bank of the river had already taken shape.

With the white horse as the belly of the snake of Changshan, Puyang and Yanjin are the head and tail of the snake of Changshan respectively, showing a peak trend. If the white horse is attacked, Puyang and Yanjin can rush to the rescue, forming a flanking attack. All Kong Shun has to do is to defend the white horse.

He had five thousand men in his hands, more than enough to hold the white horse.

However, no one thought that it was this seemingly unbreakable white horse that was broken by Cao Ying overnight. Le Jin led the Changshui Battalion to the White Horse first, and almost effortlessly, he killed Kong Shun and successfully took the White Horse into his own hands. Then Cao Ying quickly attacked, the Tiger Ben Army, the Tiger Leopard Cavalry and the Wu Wei Army were dispatched at the same time, and on the night of the 31st, they were ambushed around the Zhaoying River Beach.

When Cao Peng arrived at Baima with his infantry battalion, he saw that Le Jin was dealing with prisoners of war.

Outside White Horse City, it has turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Thousands of soldiers were beheaded under the White Horse City, and one by one, the heads were stacked to form a Jingguan.

Cao Peng wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Jia Xu.

"Cao Zhonghou, Guangchang Pavilion Marquis is clearing up troubles for you."

"What?"

Jia Xu's expression was calm, and he said softly: "This time, the White Horse has thousands of Yuan troops, but we are about to face a fierce battle...... These people are not the soldiers you captured in Quyang at the beginning. They are all the elite of the Yuan army, if you don't deal with it, there will be a camp roar during the battle, and even you will not be able to survive. Guangchang Tinghou is infamous for you, only by killing these people can you be considered stable! ”

"But ......"

"Cao Zhonghou, you are not the first time to enter the battle array, and you should know the reason why you are not in charge of the army.

If you say that you are soft-hearted today, he will pay a price of ten or even a hundred percent...... We and Yuan Shao have become a fire and water. Yan Liang can slaughter all the white horses, so today, you must kill all these soldiers. At such times, there must be no woman's kindness to the Lord's general. ”

Hearing the terrible cry, Cao Peng couldn't help but feel sorry.

originally thought that after experiencing the vicious battle of Quyang, he would be able to face the slaughter calmly. But when he faced it himself, his heart still trembled. But he knew that what Jia Xu said was not bad at all. A point of mercy at this time will pay a hundredfold price.

Ascending the city tower and looking at the team of soldiers of Yuan who were pushed out of the city and lost their heads, Cao Peng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

How long will it take for such a massacre?

In his previous life, Cao Peng had seen a statistic about the population of the Three Kingdoms.

It is said that in the third year of Yongshou, that is, in 157 AD, the tenth emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, Emperor Huan of Han, made a population count. At that time, it was a land of thirteen states, with a population of 56.48 million. However, in the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, that is, in 220 AD, after Cao Ying's death, the population of the thirteen states was only 7.63 million...... This is a shocking number.

From 157 to 220, that is, the time of Yijiazi, the population of the Han Dynasty decreased by almost eighty-five.

It can't all be blamed on Cao Ying's people, only the Yellow Turban Rebellion, how many people died; Dong Zhuo's rebellion, how many people died?

Well, counting the population that was hidden by the Haoqiang clan at that time, an increase of 7 million, a total of 40 million people died in sixty years!

Many people, I am afraid, died in the frenzy of killing in front of them.

Cao Peng raised his head and looked up at the sky.

Chinese people have always been like this, they can always be ruthless to their own people, but they must show the style of a great country and show benevolence and righteousness to foreign races.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was like this...... Spanning 1,800 years, the same is true.

It is often said that the stars of the Three Kingdoms will shine brightly, and the talents of the Three Kingdoms will come out in large numbers, and it is a glorious era.

Phew!

When you see this killing with your own eyes, when you see this tragedy, is it still fucking brilliant? The Three Kingdoms are a fucking dark age. After thinking about the Three Kingdoms, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings. Aliens invaded China and wantonly slaughtered the people of the Han Dynasty...... But in the history book of that shit, what is written to promote the great integration of nationalities and the era of cultural integration. Is that a fucking fusion?

For some reason, Cao Peng only felt that there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart.

It only burned him, and his whole body hurt!

"Youxue, what's wrong with you?"

Jia Xu suddenly noticed the fierce fluctuations in Cao Peng's emotions, and couldn't help but ask softly.

He was born in this era, and he didn't have the sentimentality of Cao Peng, and he was already surprised by the killing of this kind of scene. Not only Jia Xu, but also those who were born in this era...... Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Zhuge Liang...... Could they have predicted that eventual outcome?

The corners of his eyes were a little moist, and Cao Peng turned around.

After a while, he took a deep breath, looked at Jia Xu and said, "Du Tinghou, what will it look like in a hundred years?" ”

"Huh?"

Jia Xu was stunned by Cao Peng's brainless question, and he didn't know what to do.

"In the past, Chen Tang attacked the Huns for 3,000 miles, and proudly said: Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away.

A hundred years from now, will anyone remember this sentence? At that time, we are all gone, let the children and grandchildren decide. ”

Jia Xu seems to understand, but he doesn't understand!

"I'll go down to patrol the city, and I'll thank the Marquis of Guangchang Pavilion."

Cao Peng turned around and silently walked down the gallop down the city tower, while Jia Xu stood behind him, looking at Cao Peng silently, with a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

Cao Youxue, what does it mean to say these words?

———————————————————————————————————— the empty streets, there are still blood stains that can't be washed away.

In the horns, there are still some stumps and severed arms...... Come to think of it, it was the traces left by Yan Liang when he slaughtered the city on the White Horse before.

Cao Peng did not ride a horse, but walked silently on the street.

The soldiers shuttling back and forth looked like they were in a hurry and very busy.

If Xu You knew that the white horse was lost, he would definitely launch a crazy counterattack. If he mobilizes troops and horses to storm the white horse, although it is only for one day, can he really hold on? Cao Peng is not sure! Even after experiencing the Battle of Quyang, he was still a little hesitant.

The case of the Battle of Quyang is difficult to replicate.

On the surface, it seems that it is much easier to defend the white horse than to defend Quyang.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that the two are not comparable at all. Defending the white horse is probably more difficult than Quyang.

In the battle of Quyang, there were many accidental factors.

And Yuan Shao's obsession with the white horse is probably far greater than Lu Bu's obsession with Qu Yang.

Therefore, if you want to fight this battle well, you must pay more price. And what Cao Peng can rely on now, in addition to the infantry battalion in his hand, seems to be able to rely on Cao Ying to solve Liu Bei within one day and return to help. But what are the odds of winning?

You must know that Cao Ying did not have Guan Yunchang in his hand this time.

Without Guan Yunchang, naturally there would be no record of beheading Yan Liang and Zhu Wenchou.

No, this battle must be fought, and it must be fought well, skillfully, well, cleanly and crisply...... Cao Peng alone may not be enough to do it.

"What is this place?"

Unconsciously, Cao Peng came to the door of a mansion.

At the entrance of this house, there are many soldiers guarding it, and it seems to be an important place.

"This is the place where Yuan Juntun puts his baggage."

"Really?" Cao Peng stepped forward and walked up the steps, "Go in and have a look." ”

Gan Ning followed closely behind Cao Peng, and the two of them entered the house for about a stick of incense, and saw Cao Peng running out of the house happily.

"Quick, let Du Ting wait to come quickly."

He stood on the steps and called out loudly.

There was a hint of excitement on his face......
