The winter of the first year of Chuping was extremely difficult, especially Cao Cao, who was lonely and miserable in Yanzhou, the army ran out of food, and all kinds of methods were used in the surrounding grass roots, tree bark and even human flesh, so he had to survive hard.
At the beginning of the second year of the first peace, the severe cold has not yet ended, Cao Cao has checked the soldiers of the three counties, and the number of soldiers is 10,000 and 5, first breaking Juye County, getting a little grain, and then fighting a decisive battle with Lu Bu's army in Jiyin and Shanyang counties.
On the ground of Yanzhou, Cao Lu Bingfeng finally got up, and when he was the first of the year, Deng Ji also led the Black Iron Guard and the Huya Army out of Bishui Pass to meet Cao's army.
Tian Chou can't do the big thing, and Tian Feng needs to stay in Henan and Hanoi counties. After several contacts, it can be seen that Deng Zhi is quick in thinking, wise and good at judgment, and is afraid that Deng Ji's expedition will fail, so Tian Feng let Deng Zhi go out with the army.
In order to break Cao Cao, Chen Liu's Taishou Zhang Miao led the county soldiers with Lu Bu early, and his family also let his brother Zhang Chao escort him away, and there was no soldier in the seventeen counties of this county.
When Deng Ji's soldiers arrived, all counties had no difficulty to enter the city, and Deng Ji followed Dian Wei and other Black Iron Guards to garrison in Chenliu County, but he sent the Huya Army, plundered the large families in the counties, and encouraged the tribes, people, and displaced people to move to Hanoi to avoid military disasters.
It's only been a few years, Chen Liu has been affected by Li Dao and other Xiliang soldiers, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Deng Ji several times of military disasters, and the surviving large families or clans in the territory have followed Zhang Miao or fled, and they have already been ten rooms and nine empty, and the people are also widowed.
Chen Liu's tragic situation had been predicted for a long time, but Deng Ji didn't care, and sent the advance auxiliary soldiers to escort these old and weak into Bishui Pass.
With the news that Deng Ji had sent troops to Chen Liu, his own belly was attacked by the enemy. Of course, Lu Bu was frightened, and he wanted to withdraw his troops and hold on first. Chen Gong persuaded: "Deng Ji is a soldier but outnumbered, and he can't stand in Yanzhou, but he has scabies!" Cao Cao is a danger to the general's henchmen, and he should not be indulged! When the power of the three armies is mobilized, first strive to break Cao Cao, and then return to Deng Ji! ”
Zhang Miao, Cheng Lian and others are also good, and Lu Bu had no choice but to give up and ignore Deng Ji. first instigated the whole army to fight Cao Cao to the death on the outskirts of Juye, and then asked Zang Ba to lead Taishan to attack and disturb Cao's army. However, when he learned that Deng Ji sent troops, the morale of Cao's army was also high, and it was said that he was saved, and Xiahou's, Cao's, Lejin, Yu Ban, etc. did their best to boost morale, and Cao Chun and Cao Xiu led the tigers and leopards to clash repeatedly, and Lu Bu's camp was not around. After four or five days of bloody fighting, there was only a draw.
But he didn't know that Deng Ji, who Cao Jun had been looking forward to, was like an outing after leaving the customs, and when he arrived at Chenliu, he was even more unable to move forward, until the auxiliary soldiers who escorted the old and weak to Bishui Pass reversed, and then moved forward again. Enter Jiyin County.
Cao's army was tenacious, although there were many Lu Bu's army, they couldn't fight for a long time, and when they heard that Deng Ji's soldiers were approaching the Tao set by Ji Yinzhi, Fang had no choice but to withdraw his troops to defend it.
Although Deng Ji and the others had cavalry in the whole army, they wanted to recruit thieves and homeless people this time. They also had to send grain to Cao's army, which was accompanied by 2,000 ox carts transporting grain. The speed is also very slow.
Lu Bu knew that the Henan army and horses were difficult to beat, and since he returned to Dingtao, he held on behind closed doors, but Deng Ji's army and horses completely ignored him, only passed through the border, and went straight to Juye County to find Cao Cao and deliver the promised grain.
Hearing that Deng Ji led reinforcements to arrive, Cao Cao personally led the three armies out of the city and allied with them.
After all the troops were set up, the two male lords of each side led five hundred horsemen and finally met.
This is the first Kwantung prince Deng Ji has seen in this life, except for Li Dao, Lu Bu, etc., and he is Cao Cao Cao Mengde, the overlord of the north in history, and the founder of the Cao Wei regime.
The name can be described as thunderous, but once in this world, I can only see the real person today, after the two of them converged, Deng Ji looked carefully, only to see that the lord of the north in history is of medium height, with a round body, a slight beard on the upper lip, a very white complexion, and his eyes are as bright as an eagle, giving people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.
This year, Cao Cao turned forty years old, and Deng Ji was twenty-three.
After looking at each other from a distance for a while, the two sides dismounted, and under the guidance of Dong Zhao, Cao Cao led the generals to meet him, and saluted from afar: "General Lao personally came to relieve the siege of Yanzhou, and I really admire it!" ”
There are too many generals on the other side, if you take the risk of assassinating Cao Cao at this time, it will inevitably cause a scuffle, I wonder if your own family and others can get out safely? Deng Ji suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and replied in return: "Gong Cao is polite!" ”
After looking at Cao Cao first, and then swept over Xiahoudun, Xun Yu and others behind him one by one, seeing that he and others were hungry on many faces, he said secretly: "This group of people is a good general who can leave a name in history, but now they are all down!" ”
Immediately, he looked back at Dian Wei, Tai Shici, Che Xiao, Xu Sheng, Deng Zhi, etc., who were following him, and said in his heart: "Now I am not bad for him!" ”
The other party is only slightly older than the eldest son Cao Ang, but he is from the thieves but has today's achievements, which can be described as extraordinary, and even his own family has to rely on him to rescue! When Deng Ji was looking around, Cao Cao was also secretly looking at him, and seeing that he seemed to be a little inattentive, Cao Cao frowned slightly and said: "In today's world, thieves are everywhere, and the princes have different intentions, causing the Son of Heaven to suffer and the people to suffer. ”
Deng Ji hurriedly drove away other thoughts, and replied carefully: "What Cao Gong said is extremely true, just like that!" ”
"I have heard the loyalty of my feet for a long time, and I am not comparable to others!" After another hypocritical sentence, Cao Cao said again: "Today I am doing Yanzhou affairs again, and I am involved in a dangerous expedition!" by the thieves, lonely for a long time, nothing else, only a glass of wine, please smile! ”
As Cao Cao spoke, a powerful man among the knights brought up a large wine jar, and a personal guard handed over two large bottles.
Cao Cao took the bottle with both hands, handed one to Deng Ji, and filled the two wines with a wrestler, but asked: "The generals and soldiers are brave, and the power of the two armies is heard even if it is far away!" Although there is no inch of merit, he often has the idea of helping the world. If you don't think it's rude, please swear to it! When we work together, we will help the Han room together! ”
Everyone knows what such a covenant is, but because of the situation, it is just a word of words, and even blood is omitted, who can believe it? However, Deng Ji also accompanied him to play a foot play, and said with a smile: "In the past, Dong Zhuo was in chaos, and Cao Gong was the first to raise the banner of righteousness in the eastern part of the country, so that the heroes responded, and Wang Yun was able to facilitate the internal elimination of thieves, so that heaven and earth could raise the spirit of Haoran, relieve the suffering of the common people, and realize the virtue of Cao Gong!" Today's chaos is in turmoil, the group of thieves is back in all directions, it is difficult to straighten out, and Cao Gong is relying on him alone, and Ji dares not to be attached to it? ”
After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and raised their heads to drink the bottled wine.
Everyone is not an idler, when the oath is over, it is time to hand over the food agreed before, Deng Ji smiled: "I heard that Cao Gong begged for thieves, there was a lack of food in the army, Ji came from Henan, and brought 10,000 stones of grain to offer!" ”
After speaking, he turned around and said to Guo Shi: "Captain Guo, order the soldiers to take food and offer it!" ”
Compared with the reinforcements, Cao Cao was more short of food at this time, and he could get Deng Ji's funding, and the army could stay up for two more months, and he was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he hurriedly thanked him repeatedly, and shouted: "Miaocai, Zixiao, quickly lead the soldiers to carry the military rations into the city with General Guo!" ”
Taking advantage of the handover of food between the two armies, Deng Ji and Cao Cao introduced their generals to each other, Deng Ji praised Xiahou and Cao's tiger riders, and Cao Cao also pointed to Tai Shi Ci and said: "I heard people say 'Mu'an has two tigers, don't commit it', now I see one of them, I really don't need its name!" ”
The meeting between the two was supposed to unfold in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, and there should have been a happy ending, but suddenly something bad happened:
Cao Hong's family is very rich, and when he rarely suffers, he is not a safe one, because he has been short of food for a long time recently, and he is not very satisfied with the food, and the grain sent by Deng Ji today can be described as a great gift, and the food can be improved at night, so that his heart is itchy and hard to scratch, so he followed Xiahoudun and Cao Ren to go to the Huya army with Guo Shi to see the soldiers moving grain, and when he saw the mighty ox carts in the army, carrying grain bags, the grain for his own ten thousand stone grain was only more than 300 carts, and he still had to unload the livestock pulling the cart first, and he was immediately dissatisfied, and he jumped high and roared: "You still have so much grain, Why don't you give more to our army? ”
Guo Shi just frowned, did not answer him, but urged the soldiers to deliver as soon as possible, Cao Hong was furious, and wanted to make trouble, which frightened Xiahoudun and Cao Ren to hug them in a hurry.
Cao Ren whispered in his ear, "You don't make a fool, this is in the army", Cao Hong realized, turned around and angrily walked out of the Dangkou military camp, gathered Cao Cao and Deng Ji, and shouted: "There is so much food in the military camp, why don't you give more?" ”
"It's a blessing to have Deng Taishou to help! How do you make such an unbearable statement? ”
Cao Cao hurriedly stopped, but Deng Ji was like nothing, and laughed: "Cao Gong's command is a good general and elite soldier, and he was only trapped by thieves because of lack of food before, but now he has food help, and Lu Bu is only in the palm of his hand, waiting to take his city, why worry about having no food?" I'm waiting to go to Mount Tai to recruit displaced people and thieves, dare not prepare enough food to go? ”
stopped Cao Hong here, Cao Cao turned around and said to Deng Ji again: "I am grateful for the food and help I have enough!" Lu Bu should have asked our army to ask for it, but now he divided his troops to make Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others defend the East County, so he asked the general to break it, how about it? ”
Deng Ji shook his head and said with a smile: "Doesn't Cao Gong know that Ji has offended Yuan Benchu, and Dongjun is only separated by a river, if I take it, Yuan Jun will go south to ask for Ji, and it is also Cao Gong's alliance, so Cao Gong is in a dilemma, but it is not beautiful!" Dongjun, Jiyin, Shanyang counties are better than Cao Gong in person, how about our army taking Jibei and Taishan counties for his feet? ”
Hearing Deng Ji slide his head, Cao Cao's face also changed slightly. Speaking of which, the two counties that Deng Ji wants to take are in the northeast of Yanzhou, bordering Qing and Xu, and far away from Henan.
This Zhichong general led an elite division to Yanzhou, and his feelings were to recruit thieves, and he had no intention of contributing to his own family?
Cao Caohu was hesitant and looked at Dong Zhao, but the other party only shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"It's been agreed, don't leave it today!" Deng Ji didn't wait for them to say anything more, he already said goodbye: "Cao Gong cherishes, Ji should return to the camp, and when the grain is delivered, he will go on the road to break the thieves behind Cao Gong!" ”
After speaking, he led his subordinates to take care of himself.
