Chapter Seventy-Three: Sending Troops to Support
The people in the house will be divided into two columns, one column is Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong, and the other column is Li Dian and Yu Ban and Le Jin, who not only came to vote before. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The situation in the world is calm for the time being, and there is a turbulent undercurrent under this calm." Since the defeat of Yuzhou, Cao Cao has become more and more unpredictable, "I just got the news that Yingchuan has been taken." ”
When the generals heard this, their faces were overjoyed, and before they could be happy, Cao Cao's next words were like a basin of clear water splashed on his head.
"But! That Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu actually gathered troops and horses to take the opportunity to attack Yingchuan. When the words fell, Cao Cao didn't speak, just squinted at his generals.
Among the generals, Xiahou Dan had a big temper, but seeing that he was the first to come out of the ranks, he said to Cao Cao with a big grin, "The last general asks for orders to lead troops to Yingchuan to take that Yuan Shao's dog head!" ”
As soon as these big words came out, the rest of the generals refused to accept and asked to lead troops to Yingchuan.
Cao Cao looked at these generals of his own with a calm face, and in Cao Cao's heart, the most suitable person to go to Yingchuan to defend against Yuan Shao was undoubtedly Xiahou Yuan.
It's a pity that Xiahou Yuan has already led the troops defending the city in Yingchuan and can't rush back, so he can only choose among the six generals.
Xiahoudun does not have the ability to lead an army alone for the time being, and Cao Hong and Cao Ren still have to help him defend Yuzhou, which has just stabilized.
The only ones left are Li Dian and Yu Ban and Lejin, who have recently come to vote.
Li Dian is quite suitable, he is elegant and respects erudite people, even Cao Cao has heard that Li Dian is called an elder in the army.
But Li Dian has followed Cao Cao for so long, and Cao Cao still knows him better. He is not good at fighting, his martial arts are not too high, and he likes to read all kinds of books, especially "The Biography of the Zuo Clan in the Spring and Autumn Period".
If it was other times, it would be fine, but Yuan Shao should have personally attacked Yingchuan this time, and it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no martial arts generals by his side to protect him.
This is still very possible, and it is very likely that Cao Cao knew Yuan Shao in the past.
Yu Ban and Le Jin are very suitable, one of them is new and the other is a demote who has not really integrated into this big collective. If it succeeds this time, it will be an opportunity for them to truly integrate.
Moreover, both of them are very powerful, and their strategies should be thorough when they complement each other. In the previous battles to exterminate small groups of yellow turbans, they always took the lead, brave and tenacious.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao basically decided on the person who would go to support Yingchuan this time.
"Since you can't fight, then let's go with Lejin and Yu Ban. The main general is Le Jin, and Yu Ban is the deputy general, leading 10,000 soldiers. With his eyes wide open, Cao Cao's not very tall figure looked very majestic at this time.
The generals were speechless, only Le Jin and Yu Ban stepped forward, "The last general will take the order!" ”
Cao Cao looked at the two and nodded, and then said in a deep voice to the rest of the generals: "Although Yuan Shao only attacked Yingchuan, it is difficult to ensure that he is attacking the east and the west. ”
"The generals will obey!"
"The last general!"
"Everyone set off immediately, and be sure to give me a good idea of the counties they are responsible for!"
"Whoa!"
......
Everyone rushed out, Cao Cao thought about it and suddenly stopped Yu Ban.
"This trip to Yingchuan is mainly to defend Yingchuan, don't be easy to enter. Also, although Wen Qian is the main general, as a deputy general, you should also put forward more different opinions. Don't blindly obey just because Wen Qian is the main general and you are the deputy general. ”
In fact, Cao Cao was also a little hesitant when he said these words, hesitating whether to say it or not, but he finally said it.
In Cao Cao's eyes, Le Jin and Yu Ban are both very good. Both of them are good at fighting, Lejin is even more brave and difficult to prohibit, and he is also strong and strategic, but the two of them have little experience in war.
Yu Ban was obviously stunned, "...... The text understands. ”
Cao Cao turned around and waved his hand, "That's fine, let's go." ”
Yu Bannuo looked thoughtfully at Cao Cao, who was facing away from him, and said softly: "Oh." ”
After being forbidden to go away, Cao Cao slowly turned around and whispered, "It seems that we should find a good minister and strategist as soon as possible." ”
......
Yingchuan Taishou Mansion.
It's been a day since Yun Sheng went to Hanoi to seek foreign aid.
In the study.
"Miaocai, the military affairs will be handed over to you. I'll leave the logistics to me, although I'm not very good at it. In fact, Li Hao is too modest, and he can still guarantee the normality of logistics.
Just now, Xiahou Yuan and Li Hao rechecked the available soldiers together. Fortunately, after the second confirmation, there were 5,000 available soldiers!
You must know that there are usually only about 2,000 to 5,000 soldiers and horses in a county, but at this time, the number of soldiers available in the city is as high as 5,000, which is a bit incredible.
After Li Hao's explanation, it turned out that the day before yesterday it was just the time to change the guard, and most of the soldiers and horses had gathered, and there were 5,000 people.
"Five thousand people...... Xiahou Yuan thought in his heart, "This is good news. ”
(In ancient siege warfare, the ratio of casualties between the attacking and defending sides was generally between 2:1 or 3:1.) )
Just when Xiahou Yuan was still thinking about how to strengthen his defense, Yun Sheng, who had finally rushed back, ran in.
Fortunately, Yun Sheng has not dropped his physical exercise recently, and such strenuous exercise only makes him feel short of breath.
Yun Sheng leaned against the armrest of the chair, gasped a few times, then calmed down the frequency of his breathing, and gradually eased up, "Whew~, hurry up and finally come back." ”
Li Hao stepped forward with concern and poured a glass of water for Yun Sheng and handed it over.
"Thank you." Yun Sheng took the cup and took a sip of it, and suddenly felt much more comfortable.
Xiahou Yuan, who was on the side, suddenly looked up at Yun Sheng and asked, "I wonder if Yun Sheng has a way to strengthen his defense?" ”
It turned out that Xiahou Yuan had thought hard of several ways just now, but they were all denied by himself one by one, and it was not very feasible.
Yun Sheng, who was relieved, looked at Xiahou Yuan with a questioning expression, he just didn't hear clearly when he was resting.
Xiahou Yuan asked again helplessly, "Is there a way to strengthen the defense?" ”
Now Yun Sheng heard clearly, it was simple to strengthen the defense, and there were many good ideas in history that could be used in Yun Sheng's mind.
But no matter how good an idea is, someone has to use it, otherwise it will be useless.
"How many people are available in the city right now?" Yun Sheng didn't answer Miaocai immediately, but turned his head to his eldest brother Li Hao and asked.
"Five thousand." Before Li Hao could answer, Xiahou Yuan answered first, and Xiahou Yuan continued to ask, "How?" ”
Yun Sheng still didn't answer immediately, just sat on the chair and closed his eyes and pondered.
It didn't take long for Yun Sheng to suddenly open his eyes when Xiahou Yuan couldn't wait.
