Chapter 203: Polemic
It sounded like Deng Zhi was asking Cao Peng what to do.
But behind this sentence, there is a deeper meaning: Can you deal with Lu Bu? If you can't, let me do it!
There were a total of eight people in the yahall, and Cao Peng's status was the highest.
Deng Zhi had something to say, wanting to get the command of the Battle of Quyang.
It's just that he didn't dare to blatantly seize power. Because of these people here, except for Zhou Cang, the remaining five people are all Cao Peng's subordinates. Including Zhou Cang, he is also inextricably linked with Cao Peng, and it is by no means something that Deng Zhi can control casually.
Of the six people in Zhoucang, apart from Deng Fan, which one is not an old oilman?
How could they not hear the hidden content of Deng Zhi's words. For a while, his face changed! Even if Deng Zhi flooded Song Xian last night, he showed enough ability. But in the eyes of Zhou Cang and others, Cao Peng is the real leader...... Gan Ning snorted, his eyes closed slightly, and his eyes sparkled.
Zhou Cang, Pan Zhang, and Xia Houlan were even more gloomy, glaring at Deng Zhi angrily.
Wang Xu was relatively better, and he also felt that Deng Zhi was a little too arrogant. Who is not older than your Deng Zhi's qualifications? Even if you have a small record, you shouldn't be so naked to seize power. After all, you are just a commander of another army, not a general of an army.
Deng Fan was a little hindsight, but he also sensed that something was wrong.
He hurriedly looked at Cao Peng, and the meaning was clearly asking: Ah Fu, what is going on?
Seeing this scene, Deng Zhi's heart couldn't help but feel cold. I thought that I could gain everyone's approval by strategizing last night and destroying the 6,000-strong army without much effort. Now it seems that I am a little overly optimistic. He didn't have any opinions about Cao Peng, but stood in his place, and he assisted not Cao Peng, but Deng Ji. But in Haixi, Cao Peng faintly had the momentum to suppress Deng Ji. Even if Cao Peng and Deng Ji are a family, Deng Zhi still hopes that the people surnamed Deng can be the leader, not the surname Cao.
In this, there is another clan concept.
Deng Zhi and Deng Ji are of the same clan, so they naturally hope that Deng Ji will have the upper hand.
I just didn't think of it...... Cao Peng smiled and shook his head, "Big brother, don't hide it, I have no countermeasures." ”
"Huh?"
Zhou Cang and the others let out a soft cry at the same time and looked at Cao Peng.
They didn't quite understand why Cao Peng bowed to Deng Zhi...... That's right, just bow your head! Cao Peng's words are to give in to Deng Zhi.
Cao Peng said: "Strategizing, I am not as good as Bo Miao; Charging into battle, I might as well be Xingba and Wen Jue.
Today, Lu Buxing's troops are imminent, and everyone should be in the same boat. How to retreat from the enemy? I really don't have an idea, and I ask my eldest brother to give me advice. ”
After that, Cao Peng got up and gave a deep blow.
The seemingly tense atmosphere was suddenly dissolved with Cao Peng's move.
Gan Ning showed a smile on his face: Do you see it, this is the mind and temperament that a superior person should have.
Cao Peng's words can be regarded as a clever answer to Deng Zhi's provocation, and at the same time, Deng Zhi's face is saved. Deng Zhi only felt that his face was slightly hot, and he lowered his head, not knowing what to do. Deng Zhi in history is indeed a bull. But at this time, Deng Zhi was only in his early twenties. Although he has talent, he has not experienced the trials that originally belonged to him in history, so he can't help but be a little arrogant.
He hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Those who can lead the army under Lu Bu's tent are only eight strong generals." ”
Even if he lost face just now, Deng Zhi had to speak.
Otherwise, the face will be lost.
"Eight strong generals, Hao Meng and Cheng Lian are long gone, and now there is no Song Xian, so under Lu Bu's account, there are only five people who can lead the army."
"Zhang Liao and Zang Ba, you can put it aside." Cao Peng opened his mouth to add.
"Oh?"
"Zhang Liao had previously hated Lu Bu because he opposed Lu Bu's dispatch of troops, and was sent to Xu County. I have ordered someone to go to Guangling and ask Mrs. Chen to guard Huaiyin. Therefore, Zhang Liao will never dare to act rashly, and he will inevitably Chen Bing on the north bank of Huaishui, and he will not be able to come out with Chen Deng...... As for Zang Ba, I heard that he hated Lu Bu at the end of the year, and now he has a tense relationship with Lu Bu. In addition, he stationed troops on Mount Tai, which can block the enemy in the north. So for a while, it was impossible for Lu Bu to send him over. Therefore, there are only three of the eight strong generals...... Among them, the most likely person to lead the army is the surname Cao. This person is brave and strategic, although he is the last of the eight strong generals, but if he is talented, he will never be inferior to others. ”
When it comes to understanding Lu Bu, Deng Zhi is really not as good as Cao Peng.
"So, the surname Cao is the most likely to send troops?"
"The surname Cao is the next minister, the closest to Quyang, and the surname of the leader he leads is probably the largest; However, in addition to the eight strong generals, I am still afraid of one person. ”
"Who?"
"Gao Shun, Gao Deqi."
Deng Zhi was stunned and asked, "Gao Shun? Who? ”
Cao Peng said with a smile: "Gao Shun is not a top eight general, but if you judge by talent, this person is only inferior to Zhang Liao and Zang Ba."
There is a battalion under Lu Bu's command, called Trap Battle, which can be called invincible, invincible, and extremely brave. Gao Shun, the official worship of Zhonglang General, is also the commander of the trap. But because this person's surname is upright, he is not liked by Lu Bu. Only when the battle was about to be fought, Gao Shun was able to command the trap, and the rest of the time, the trap was a continuation of Wei. This person's ability is not trivial...... I'm afraid it won't be inferior to Koji's first camp. ”
First in?
Xia Houlan's face changed.
Among them, he is the only one who understands the power of the first climb.
I think that at the beginning, the White Horse Yicong where he was defeated by Xiandeng, so he had to stay away from his homeland and defect to Cao Ying's subordinates.
So much so that to this day, he still shuddered when he recounted the confrontation with Xiandeng Camp.
Isn't it inferior to the first to get into battle?
He looked at Cao Peng with an inquiring look in his eyes.
Cao Peng hesitated for a moment, and Qingqing nodded.
Deng Zhi was a little confused!
I thought that in half a year, I already knew Lu Bu very well.
But now it seems...... Cao Peng said: "Now in Quyang, there are thousands of soldiers and horses. If the surname Cao leads the troops, even if there are 10,000 people, we can also fight with the fortified city. But if it is trapped, although it is only 800, it is better than 10,000. However, I don't think Lu Bu will let Gao Shun come, so the likely surname Cao is the largest. ”
"Cao surname ......"
Deng Zhi fell into deep thought.
"There are about eight thousand soldiers and horses, and the surname Cao is very likely to come out.
But apart from the 8,000 soldiers and horses under his command, I am afraid that there will be no other soldiers and horses. Previously, Song Xian had lost 6,000 soldiers, which had greatly damaged Lu Bu's vitality. If he were to be asked to increase his troops from Xiapi, he might not agree...... In general, it should be like this, Bo Miao Ji will be settled? ”
Deng Zhi raised his head and replied in a deep voice: "If this is the case, it can be a battle." ”
"How to fight?" Gan Ning asked.
Deng Zhi thought for a while and said, "Lu Bu sent troops to Haixi, and what he did was Haixi's millions of grain and grass. It can be seen that the grain and grass in Xiapi are not abundant. The art of war is cloudy: galloping thousands of cars, leather cars thousands of times, with armor of 100,000, thousands of miles of food, then the cost of inside and outside, the use of guests, the material of glue paint, the dedication of car armor, said to be a thousand gold. Eight thousand soldiers and horses, said to be a hundred dollars, eat thousands of corn, is not trivial. Therefore, in the battle of Quyang, if you win, there is only one word 'drag'...... The longer the battle, the greater the pressure on Xiapi.
I have a plan to make the surname Cao return in vain.
Quyang now has 1,000 soldiers and horses, and if you recruit people and horses, you can gather 2,000. Youxue can divide the troops and fight, and order one person to lead the cavalry of 500 and garrison outside the city, and the rest will stick to Quyang. In this way, the surname Cao attacked Quyang, and the foot riders outside the city could raid from behind; If the surname Cao attacks outside the city, then the city can be assaulted. After a long time, there will be tension in the grain and grass. When the time comes, Lu Bu's soldiers and horses will be self-defeating. ”
Why does this strategy sound so familiar?
Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that when Cao Ying attacked Xiapi, Chen Gong had also offered this plan, but Lu Bu did not agree.
Now, Lu Bu attacked Quyang, and Deng Zhi offered the same strategy...... Cao Peng thought for a while and asked, "Bo Miao, then what do you think, who will ride in the same foot, and who will control Quyang?" ”
"This ......"
Deng Zhi showed hesitation.
Cao Peng said: "Big brother, it doesn't hurt if you say it. ”
"Quyang, fundamentally, needs to have a main general in charge to stabilize the morale of the army."
The implication is to tell Cao Peng: This Quyang must be in charge of you...... The reason for the hesitation is because Deng Zhi is very clear. Once they clashed, Qu Yang was under a lot of pressure. The Lord may be in danger of death at any time.
"Then who can command the foot cavalry?"
"First of all, the main general of the foot cavalry needs a commander who can fight well and is brave; Secondly, there is also the need for a person to assist in deciding when to attack and when to retreat. ”
Pan Zhang said coldly: "In this way, Bo Miao must be the one who helps." ”
Deng Zhi's face turned red, and he lowered his head, but he didn't know how to explain it.
If he is the main general, he can easily arrange it, and no one will refute it. This is another reason why Deng Zhi will seize power as soon as he sits down.
Can ...... now No matter how this sounds, it will make people feel that he is shirking.
Cao Peng smiled, "Bo Miao has the ability to change, and Xingba is also the most brave among us and others." This outside the city will be handed over to the two of you to lead, and the rest will follow me out of the town of Quyang, what do you think? ”
"That's not going to work!"
Gan Ning stood up and said loudly: "Before setting out on the expedition, Miss Huang had told her a thousand instructions to order the last general to protect her son. As soon as the war starts, Quyang will inevitably fight hard. In case Childe has an accident, how can I explain to Miss when I go back? Childe, I would like to stay in Quyang. ”
Pan Zhang glanced at Gan Ning and did not make a sound.
To be honest, he didn't quite agree with what Cao Peng said just now.
Gan Ning is the most courageous of these people? What is that Lao Tzu! He hadn't learned Gan Ning's methods, so he didn't know how powerful Gan Ning was. However, Cao Peng knew it very well in his heart. If Pan Zhang is a first-class general, then Gan Ning is definitely a super-first-class general with a force value of more than 95. The two are obviously not on the same level, and there is basically no comparable surname.
For Gan Ning's maintenance, Cao Peng is very happy.
However, he stood up and walked to Gan Ning's side, "Xingba, I know you have good intentions. But, believe me, I'm not one of those powerless people. You are the commander of the foot cavalry, echoing me from afar, which is the best maintenance for me.
The harder you fight outside the city, the safer I am.
I have made up my mind on this matter and need not discuss it further. However, in addition to attacking outside the city, I have one more thing to entrust to Xingba. ”
Gan Ning hesitated, "But please give me orders." ”
"Protect Mr. Deng."
"Huh?"
Deng Zhi raised his head and looked at Cao Peng in astonishment.
Cao Peng said: "Bo Miao has great talents, and he can help you." When you go out of the city, listen to the advice of Bo Miao, and do not act rashly. No matter how nervous Quyang is, you just need to wait outside the city...... Wait for the right opportunity to attack, never take risks. ”
After speaking, Cao Peng turned around and grabbed Deng Zhi's hand again.
"Bo Miao, you and Xingba are outside the city, you should also be more careful." He groaned for a moment and said softly: "If Quyang is unsavable, there is no need to force it. When you find that the battle situation is not good, you immediately evacuate Quyang and turn back to Haixi...... I estimate that Cao Gong will raise an army to conquer sooner or later, and you can stay useful and avenge me when the time comes. In short, when you get out of the city, you all have to take care of yourselves. ”
Deng Zhi was in a turbulent mood and was speechless for a long time.
No wonder, all the generals of Haixi are mainly based on Cao Youxue...... It's not that Deng Ji is incompetent, it's really Cao Peng's bearing, which is far from being comparable to Deng Ji.
Perhaps, the Deng family of Houjiaoyang is destined to be under the surname Cao. However, if there is such a person, what does it matter if it is attached?
"Youxue, take care of yourself!"
Deng Zhi said and slammed it to the ground.
Although he didn't say anything to apologize, this one already contained everything.
Cao Peng smiled!
The eyes became a crescent moon, and the cheeks showed shallow dimples.
As a traveler, his ability to grasp the current situation allows him to have a bird's-eye view of this era. It's not about talent, it's about prescience. Sooner or later, Cao Ying will send troops, and once Cao Ying sends troops, Quyang will naturally turn the danger into a disaster. Lu Bu can not accept Chen Gong's strategy, not that Chen Gong's strategy is not good. In fact, Cao Peng could understand why Lu Bu refused to accept Chen Gong's plan.
Do you remember Hao Meng?
thought that Hao Meng rebelled at the beginning and was pacified by Lu Bu.
Lu Bu later asked the surname Cao, why did Hao Meng rebel?
The answer surnamed Cao was: "Conspiracy by Yuan." ”
"Who does the plotter know?"
Do you know who was involved in this conspiracy?
The surname Cao said frankly: "Chen Gong is an accomplice." ”
Chen Gong sat on the side, his face red and his ears red. Lu Bu later thought that Chen Gong was the person he relied on, so he didn't ask. In the history books, the words 'don't ask' are used instead. Don't ask, it doesn't mean that Lu Bu has no opinion on Chen Gong! Nima, if Cao Peng was sitting in Lu Bu's seat, it would never be possible to adopt Chen Gong's strategy. Nima, with a criminal record! I can't afford to hurt this kind of thing...... Lu Bu's refusal to use the strategy of dividing troops does not mean that Cao Peng does not use it.
In fact, Cao Peng believes that Deng Zhi's strategy is the best way to deal with the enemy for now.
The surname Cao is different from Song Xian, this person is calm and has a law. Ordinary schemes, for the surname Cao, I am afraid it is difficult to have an effect.
Dividing troops is a conspiracy!
I know that you are short of food and grass, but I am dragging you and consuming your food and grass, so that you will not be able to withdraw if you want to in the end...... Cao Peng held Deng Zhi with one hand and Gan Ning with the other.
He looked at the people in the hall and said with a smile: "I have all the kings, why should I be afraid of the surname Cao?" Why is Zhang Liao afraid? Why is Lu Bu afraid? I also hope that you will work together. ”
Gan Ning, Zhou Cang, Deng Zhi, Pan Zhang, Xiahou Lan, Deng Fan, Wang Xu, and the seven of them bowed together.
"Dare not to serve the son to the death!"
