Chapter 32: The Attack on Lu (1)
Cao Cao was silent for a moment, just like Yun Sheng said, as long as he takes the Lu State, then he can easily take Yuzhou whenever he takes it in the future. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Meng De, now our Taishan County's troops are still too weak, and it will be a little difficult to go further."
There are only 30,000 soldiers and horses in Taishan County, and only 15,000 soldiers and horses can be mobile except for the 15,000 soldiers and horses guarding the county. And in order to guard against the sudden attack of other horses, 8,000 soldiers and horses were scored, which means that only 7,000 soldiers and horses can be sent now!
If you want to eat the entire Yuzhou quickly, it is impossible for the current Taishan County's troops.
This road doesn't work, only what Yunsheng said first
It is very safe to take the country of Lu and then slowly try to get Yuzhou.
"Meng De doesn't have to worry, as long as the time is ripe, then Yuzhou will be in our pocket sooner or later.
Now our first task is to recruit good talents, and then we will distribute our wealth and food and wait for the time to come. Yun Sheng smiled slightly, his eyes fell on Cao Cao's body, he knew that Cao Cao had been recuperating for half a year, which also made this sitting a little irritable.
In fact, another purpose of this military dispatch to Yuzhou Lu State is to let Cao Cao temper and temper more, show some edge, and not let the comfort of Mount Tai kill his ambition.
In the half a year of Mount Tai, in addition to suppression, the most Cao Cao did was to spend money everywhere to buy grain.
Cao Cao definitely couldn't do it well alone, and in the end, Yun Sheng suggested that Cao Cao go to Yuzhou to collect grain through the caravan in the hands of his good brother Wei Zi and Ju Gao Gong.
The place where the most grain is collected is precisely the Lu State, which was quietly ordered by Yun Sheng earlier.
Now Cao Cao has more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, but the food in his hands can support these more than 30,000 people and horses for seven years!
It can be seen how amazing the food in Cao Cao's hands is now!
But now Cao Cao has no money in his hands, and with the purchase of a large amount of food, Cao Cao almost ran out of money. Otherwise, it is estimated that Cao Cao will continue to buy it.
Yun Sheng first calculated silently in his heart before he spoke: "Meng De, this battle can be given to a certain 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the city will take the land of Lu State!" ā
Cao Cao looked at Yun Sheng in surprise and replied, "The city only needs five thousand soldiers and horses?" ā
Yun Sheng nodded, and Cao Cao pondered for a moment, "This battle needs to be decided quickly, can you be sure?" ā
"City, I am willing to establish an army, if you can't win quickly, you will come to see you!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "Since this is the case, this battle will be carried out by Yunsheng, I don't know who else Yunsheng needs in this battle?" ā
"Can Meng De let Miaocai go with me, and as for the others, let them guard Taishan County."
"That's great!" Cao Cao nodded, if Yun Sheng didn't bring a military general, Cao Cao wouldn't worry about Yun Sheng's safety. But with too much, for Taishan County, which has just been stable for half a year, it is not good to have no generals to guard it.
Hearing this, the corners of Yun Sheng's mouth lifted slightly, and he smiled.
Within a few days, Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Yuan and Yun Sheng to lead an army to attack the state of Lu in Yuzhou.
As soon as this order came, Xiahou Yuan and the others were not surprised, and even a little excited.
Since Cao Cao's development in Taishan County had reached a bottleneck, a breakthrough must be sought. In addition, Cao Cao has revealed things about expansion from time to time these days, which has led to some expectations and preparations.
However, what Cao Cao announced next surprised them, it turned out to be Xiahou Yuan as the leader and Yun Sheng as the deputy.
This has to start from when Yunsheng asked to bring Xiahou Yuan that day.
Cao Cao originally thought that Yunsheng would be the leader, and Xiahou Yuan would be the auxiliary. Yun Sheng objected and asked Xiahou Yuan to be the leader and himself as the deputy.
"Mengde, fierce generals are easy to get, but handsome talents are hard to find! General Xiahou Yuan has this qualification, and the city is willing to help him grow. Besides, now Meng De's side, what is urgently needed is a person who can march and fight for the general and charge into battle! ā
Cao Cao was speechless, and Yun Sheng chose to help him and stay with him when he was in trouble. He Cao Cao is not a ruthless person, and he still keeps this in mind.
But Yun Sheng's words pierced Cao Cao's heart deeply.
You must know that the current Xiahou Yuan and others can be said to have the qualifications to be independent, but this is just a qualification, and Cao Cao is still a little worried about them.
In the past six months, although they have fought a lot of battles up and down, they have suppressed some bandits and horse bandits, and they have not experienced any real war.
It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao is not at ease with Xiahou Yuan and others, and a person who has not experienced the real war cannot be regarded as a qualified general!
"That's it! Yun Sheng is careful here. Cao Cao sighed and said.
Three days later, Xiahou Yuan and Yun Sheng led 5,000 soldiers and horses to slaughter the Lu State.
Lu is some distance away from Taishan County, but along the way, they basically walk in Taishan County, and they don't encounter any danger.
The first to enter were Fan County and Xue County.
These two counties have been ravaged by the yellow turbans a few years ago, and now they have been robbed by horse bandits and bandits in Yuzhou from time to time, and the original county orders have disappeared.
Nothing hindered, easy to take.
Then Wenyang, Bian County, and Wu County, for these three counties, Xiahou Yuan did not pay attention to them at all, and led an army of 5,000 men and horses to directly attack Wenyang, Bian County, and Wu County.
In the three battles of Wenyang, Bian County, and Wu County, they did not encounter many obstacles, but they lost dozens of people and easily won the three counties.
Yun Sheng was not surprised to take Wenyang, Bian County, Wu County, Fan County, and Xue County so easily.
Because he knows too well, Yun Sheng has not been idle in the past six months, and has been collecting intelligence and military subordinates of several counties near Taishan County. In the intelligence, the most difficult to fight is the Lu State, and the other six counties under his rule have no troops.
Lu County, the people of Lu County have been exploited by the Lu County Order for a long time, causing them to directly open the gate when Xiahou Yuan attacked Lu County, and Xiahou Yuan led the army to cut melons and vegetables to kill the more than 500 soldiers in Lu County who helped to abuse them.
In the end, he cut off the head of the county order of Lu County, which was still enjoying in his dream, and his head was hung on the city gate and exposed to the sun for three days, and then thrown directly into the fire and burned to the ground.
Three days have already vented the people's anger and deterred those ill-intentioned Xiaoxiao.
Easily taking the six counties did not make Xiahou Yuan get carried away, he knew very well that the next Lu State was the most difficult, and it was not so simple that it could be quickly captured.
That night, Yun Sheng found an older person who had been to Lu from among the soldiers in the army and invited him to his military tent.
"Brother Zhang, you rushed to Lu Country overnight tonight, entered the city, went to the Tongfu Inn to find a person named Weizi, and gave him this tip. After that, you follow him. Do you understand? Yun Sheng handed over a bag to Brother Zhang, and then preached with a serious face.
"What is the general's words, I understand, it is to give this thing to the one who is called Wei... That's it, right? I'll go! After speaking, Brother Zhang left the camp and went to Lu State.
