Chapter 312 Yanjin Retreat (6) 1/3

Jian'an five years, February. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the original history, the prelude to the Battle of Guandu had just begun.

But in this plane, the prologue is nearing its end...... Cao *** and Yuan Shao were on the battlefield of Yanjin and launched a tragic game. From the Battle of Hakuba to the present, it has lasted for nearly fifty days. The losses of both sides are quite huge, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the corpses all over the city.

From the end of January, several more battlefields were opened in addition to Yeonjin.

Zang Batun guarded Qi County and fought with Yuan Tan endlessly. Both sides have invested a lot of manpower and material resources, but they are evenly matched, and it is difficult to distinguish between winners and losers.

In history, Yuan Tan is also a figure who is underestimated.

He also has advisors like Xin Bi under him, which puts extremely heavy pressure on Zang Ba.

In Donghai County, Xiahou Yuan and Lu Qian showed the power of destroying the withering and decaying. At the beginning of February, the Haixi Army officially launched its operation...... Trusted Haixi Commander Buqi, under the command of Xu Xu, the assassin of Xuzhou, the troops were divided into three routes, *** East China Sea. Pan Zhangwang bought 1,500 people each, conquered Siwu and Yicheng, beheaded Liu An, a general under Liu Bei, and stationed in the lower reaches of Shushui; After Zhou Cang landed in Qishan, he joined forces with Deng Zhi and approached Yushan; Xiahou Yuan occupied Lanling, and his second son, Xiahou Batun, was in the second room pavilion; Lü Qian sent troops from Langya to occupy Licheng and Jiqiu. The four-way army joined forces in one place, and walked towards Tanxian County step by step, which made Liu Bei a little unsustainable.

On the sixth day of the second month, after receiving a letter from Zang Ba, Chang Feng surrendered in Xiangben Xiancheng.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Bei immediately abandoned Tan County and led his troops to flee to Pengcheng County......

Xiahou Yuan and Xu Xuan didn't expect Liu Bei to give up Tanxian so decisively, so that they were caught off guard, causing Liu Bei to pass between the two and escape without a trace. On the eighth day of the second month, Wang Mai crossed Shushui and marched to the city of Tanxian County. At this time, Tan County has become an empty city. However, Wang Mai was persuaded and did not enter Tan County, but only camped outside the city, waiting for Xiahou Yuan to arrive.

At this point, the war in the East China Sea completely subsided.

Liu Bei only held out in Donghai County for twenty days before he was defeated and left.

It can't be said that Liu Bei is incompetent, it can only be said that Liu Bei is unlucky. Tokai County is surrounded by enemies on three sides and has its back to the sea. Originally, Liu Bei hoped to use the prestige of the Elk family to gain a foothold in Donghai County. But the problem is that after experiencing the suppression of Haixi, the Elk family has already become declining, and its influence is not as good as before. Although Chang Feng is the Taishou of Donghai County, after all, he was born as a bandit and does not have too deep roots in Donghai County.

In contrast, Haixi's influence was far greater than that of Chang Xuan, the Taishou of Donghai County.

Whether it is Deng Ji before or Buqi now, he is obviously more accepted by the people, so Liu Bei's defeat is also sooner or later.

It has been recorded in the history books that in the fifth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei was stationed in Xiapi.

Chang Feng also rebelled, and gave Xiahou Yuan a headache. At that time, Liu Bei's reputation in Xuzhou was not bad, and the Elk family did not suffer too much blow, so Changfeng could succeed. But now, the Elk family is declining, and Liu Bei is drifting around, and he can't give Chang Feng support at all. With a small Tokai County alone, failure is a matter of time. The difference is that in history, Chang Feng was not killed by Cao *** after this rebellion; And this time, after Chang Feng surrendered, Xiahou Yuan didn't say a word, just looked at his head.

Doing so is also a warning to Zang Ba!

——————————————————————————

"Sikong, isn't it a little more vicious for Youxue to do this?"

In the sour jujube city, Dong Zhao couldn't help but ask Cao ***.

He got the news that Cao Peng had gone on a killing spree in the Mansion. There were only more than 800 soldiers and horses in total, and Cao Peng killed nearly a quarter of them at once.

Now the pavilion is desecrated and there are four military horses.

Among them, the flying eye can be removed, and the black eye is not easy to calculate.

Of the four army horses, only two were fully manned...... Cao Peng's actions in the Mansions also caused controversy among many people, saying that he killed too much.

Cao *** couldn't help laughing, "The rout army is not available."

If you don't use thunder means, how can you govern the army? In my opinion, he did nothing wrong. At least for now, the Pavilions are very calm, and the chaos they had earlier had. I have heard that the soldiers are trained all day long, and the morale of the soldiers is very high. Isn't that a good thing? ”

"The ...... of the troops of the Kedu Pavilion

"This matter has been reported by the state envoy.

Youxue said that he would rather take 500 elite soldiers than a rabble. It makes sense to think about it, he doesn't need too many soldiers and horses to garrison there, just to see if the soldiers are well-trained. I think that's the end of it...... Since I handed over the pavilion to him, I don't want to ask any more. ”

The meaning of Cao ***'s words is very clear, this matter is stopped here, and there is no need to continue to investigate.

Dong Zhao has been following Cao *** for a long time, how can he not understand his thoughts?

Now that Cao *** has recognized what Cao Peng did, it is useless to pursue it further. Two hundred soldiers? What's the matter?

The number of dead and injured people every day is more than 200.

However, it can also be seen from this that Cao *** is very fond of Cao Peng.

Dong Zhao walked out of the hall, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart: since Sikong trusted Cao Peng so much, should he get closer?

He thought for a moment, then turned around and walked down the corridor to the front hall and the public room.

A middle-aged man, processing papers. Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man looked up and saw that it was Dong Zhao, so he hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Brother, why are you here?"

This middle-aged man's name is Dong Wan, and he is Dong Zhao's younger brother.

However, unlike Dong Zhao, who attached himself to Cao *** at the beginning of Jian'an, Dong Yu had worked under Zhang Xiu before, and only defected to Cao *** with Zhang Xiu last year. Now, Dong Wan has taken over Tian Yu's position in Sikong Mansion, and he is the chief secretary of the army. He invited Dong Zhao to sit down, and then asked respectfully.

After Dong Zhao sat down, he pondered for a moment and said, "Yuanmou, there is something I want to ask you to do." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Captain Cao Peng, you know."

Dong Wan said with a smile: "But the Cao Babai who burned the white horse, beheaded Yan Liang, punished Wen Chou, and captured Gao Lan? How could I not know about this person? ”

"He is the son of the lord's family, but he lived in Nanyang in his early years.

You have a good relationship with Zhang Boluan, can you ask and let Zhang Boluan give Cao Peng a fame? It can be regarded as a good relationship between you and me. ”

"Fame?"

Dong Wan was stunned.

Dong Zhao said: "Although Cao Peng is the son of the lord's family, his hometown is in Nanyang County.

You also know that there are many people in the main clan, and if you take fame from Qian County, I'm afraid it will not be easy. But if there is no fame, it must be a big regret for Cao Peng. Whether he needs this fame or not is one thing; But whether there is fame or not is another matter...... Since he can't give him a reputation from Qian County, why not ask Zhang Boluan to recommend him a name of filial piety? He grew up in Nanyang County, and it is also in line with the rules to be recommended by Nanyang County. Moreover, Cao Youxue wrote "Eight Hundred Character Essay" for his father, which can also be called a great filial piety today. ”

Dong Wan is not a fool, although his reaction is a little slow, but after listening to Dong Zhao's words, he immediately understood......

"This matter is not difficult, Zhang Boluan has actually been panicking about what happened during his earlier battle of Wancheng. If there is such an opportunity, he will definitely not refuse. Anyway, Nanyang County has a recommendation quota every year, and this year Cao Youxue is simply recommended. ”

"Well, you have to do this quickly.

When this battle is over, someone will inevitably think about it. Rather than being courted by others, it is better for us to get it ourselves. You have just attached to the lord, although I take care of it, after all, it is a little thin. Cao Peng is well-known and well-connected. It seems that the lord's trust in him is not inferior to that of others. In this case, you should get in touch with him as soon as possible, and you will take care of him in the future. ”

"Brother write a letter immediately, and let someone send it to Wancheng today."

Dong Zhao nodded, chatted with Dong Wan for a few words, and got up to leave.

At this moment, a small school walked in from outside the door, "Master Dong, Xu Du is in a hurry for six hundred miles." ”

"Oh?"

Dong Wan hurriedly stepped forward and took the letter from the little schooler's hand.

He turned his head to look at Dong Zhao, and saw Dong Zhao frowning, stepped forward and took the letterbox, "I'll go to see the lord immediately, Xu Du is six hundred miles urgent, there must be something important." ”

Dong Wan nodded, and hurriedly went through the handover procedures with Dong Zhao.

Dong Zhao hurriedly returned to the flower hall with the letter, but saw that Cao *** was about to go out.

"My lord, Xu Du is in a hurry."

When Cao *** heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to take it and took out the letter.

After a moment, his brow furrowed, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Immediately gather all the generals and come to the meeting."

"Whoa!"

Dong Zhao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly turned around and prepared to leave.

But I heard Cao *** say: "By the way, send someone to the Desecrated Pavilion and let Youxue come." ”

It seems that the lord really attaches enough importance to that Cao Peng. A small lieutenant of the Martial Pavilion, to be honest, was not enough to attend the meeting.

And Cao *** brought Cao Peng over at this time, doesn't it show that he attaches great importance to Cao Peng?

Dong Zhao felt that his previous decision was not wrong.

Perhaps, it should be more intimate?

"Lord, why don't I go to the Mansion?"

"It's fine."

Dong Zhao immediately took the order and left, Cao *** stood on the steps, the smile on his face gradually faded, but it was replaced by a dignified group.

Finally, to get started?

——————————————————————————————

The drizzle is falling, and in February, the spring rain is endless.

Dong Zhao took his personal entourage and marched along the official road, only to see green willows swaying on both sides of the road.

After leaving from the sour date, he went straight to the Mansion. When passing through the small pool, I saw a military camp standing by the pool, and from the camp came a loud trumpet. Groups of soldiers and horses were drawn out of the battalion. The soldiers braved the drizzle and practiced in the open field.

Their practice is not like a regular performance.

Instead, in a series of passwords, they kept changing formations.

A general was sitting upright on a war horse, dressed like a soldier.

Beside him, several colonels kept waving the order flag and passing the password......

Dong Zhao recognized this general, who seemed to be called Han De.

Previously, he worked in Changshui Camp and followed Xiahou Shang...... Later, he was transferred to Cao Peng, and now he should be a military horse.

"Believe it."

Dong Zhao greeted and urged him to step forward.

Xinzhi is the word of Han De.

Hearing someone shouting, Han De turned his head to look.

Seeing that it was Dong Zhao, he hurriedly turned his horse to greet him, and arched his hand on the horse and said, "Dong Xijiu, why are you here?" ”

"I was ordered to go to the Mansion, and I have something to see your captain.

Why, in this kind of weather, you have to act as usual? ”

Han De smiled: "It's a joke about sacrificial wine, what kind of *** performance is this?" It's just to come out and do something, lest they have nothing to do.

The real *** performance is still over there in the Duting Battalion.

Captain *** practice, it's much more ruthless than this......"

Dong Zhao frowned, and looked at the soldiers who were practicing in the drizzle, and he didn't understand a little.

However, he knew that this kind of queue was a training method created by Cao Peng. When Dian Wei and Xu Chu competed with each other, Dian Wei relied on this kind of first-class acting method to pinch a group of temporarily recruited Rui Shi into a whole in a short period of time, and his combat power was extremely strong.

Later, this kind of queue performance was adopted by many people.

The Haw Par Ride is also trained in this way, and it is said to be very effective.

It's just that this 'one-two-one' shout can really be useful? At least in Dong Zhao's opinion, there is no benefit.

After saying a few words to Han De, Dong Zhao took people away.

Along the way, he was thinking about the reason why Cao *** called Cao Peng to go over.

Could it be ......

Dong Zhao scratched his head, as if he had thought of something!

By the time we arrived at the camp at the Mansion, the rain had stopped.

But Dong Zhao was stopped outside the camp by the soldiers.

The person who guards the gate and is responsible for guarding is Hao Zhao's black slur.

"Unless the villain refuses to let him go, the actual lieutenant has an order, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the camp without permission."

"Then you can take care of it."

Dong Zhao was not angry, but nodded lightly in praise.

He said to his relatives around him: "I didn't expect this Cao Youxue to be quite Zhou Yafu's style. ”

After Hei Yu entered the camp, after a while, he saw Tian Yu running out.

Dong Zhao couldn't help but be a little angry, this Cao Peng's shelf was inevitably too big. Although you are said to be the son of Sikong, I am Sikong sacrificial wine, and I am several levels older than you in terms of official position. I'm here to give an order to Sikong, and if you block me, why don't you even see me?

Tian Yu saw Dong Zhao's unhappiness, and said softly after entering the gate: "It's not that the captain doesn't greet him, but the captain is performing a military horse and can't get out of it......"

"Oh?"

When Dong Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but be a little curious, "Then can you take me to observe?" ”

"This ...... It's not a problem, but the environment over there is a little bad, but I'm afraid that I will neglect the sacrificial wine. ”

Dong Zhao laughed, and it didn't hurt to continue.

Tian Yu took him and went straight to the school yard of the back camp. The area of the school yard is large and adjacent to the river. I saw a group of soldiers walking in a formation in a muddy clearing, shouting loudly and commanding. Puddles, mud pools, seemed to be completely ignored in their eyes. Under one side of the canopy, Cao Peng stood on a chariot, holding a sword in his hand, with a serious expression, staring at the queue of soldiers.

"Why don't you move forward? Why stop? ”

Then he saw a group of soldiers, suddenly stopping by the river.

A young general rushed out from behind Cao Peng, came to the team of soldiers, and roared loudly.

"Marquis, go into the water any further."

"Then get into the water!"

The military marquis's face was hideous, and the short stick in his hand was slammed on the captain's body, "The captain has not changed the password, since you have not changed the password, you have to move on." Don't talk about entering the water, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of you, you can't retreat. ”

As he spoke, he snatched the flag from the captain's hand.

"Listen to me and move forward."

Under the leadership of this military marquis, a group of soldiers ignored the river in front of them and marched forward.

Dong Zhao stood on the edge of the school field, looking at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded...... This, what kind of *** soldier is this?
