Chapter 139: Cao Cao is defeated
"You mean Cao Cao was defeated?"
As soon as Han Fei returned to his tent, before he could sit down, he saw Guo Jia hurriedly looking for him, and after listening to Guo Jia's words, Han Fei couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
Cao Cao was defeated, this Han Fei didn't doubt it, but didn't "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" say that Cao Cao was defeated by Xu Rong after Dong Zhuo, who had escaped, how could it ......
Cao Cao was anxious to make meritorious contributions, and privately brought his own troops to battle, this Han Fei also heard about it, but he didn't take it to heart, and he was surprised when he heard it at this moment.
It wasn't until he listened to Guo Jia's brief explanation that Han Fei understood.
It turned out that Cao Cao was still so eager to make meritorious contributions, but the Tiger Prison Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Dong Zhuo's army was sitting here, Cao Cao's power was not large, and he belonged to the smallest princes, and there was obviously no merit to build here, yes, Cao Cao took Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong and other generals and the five thousand troops he raised from Chenliu and Yu County to the west, planning to occupy the military important place Chenggao, and Wei Zi felt that this number of soldiers was too small, so he moved around, and finally, finally borrowed three thousand troops from Zhang Miao, and made up the number of eight thousand, which was not too ugly.
Historically, Cao Cao in the article "Let the County Self-Evident Book", also said that there were only 8,000 people participating in the battle of Bianshui at that time, so think about it, it is probably his original subordinates and Wei Zi borrowed 3,000 people from Zhang Miao, the final result is that Wei Zi died in battle, Cao Cao tasted the first defeat in his life, if it were not for Cao Hong, who had "the world can do without me Cao Hong, not without you" Cao Hong sacrificed his life to save him, I am afraid there would be no Three Kingdoms in history.
This time. Wei Zi still did not escape the fate of history, and Cao Cao also fled back in embarrassment, not because of Han Fei's appearance. And what to change.
Cao Cao's troops advanced to the eastern outskirts of Xingyang, crossed the Bianshui (i.e., the Bianqu that connected the chasm to the Yellow River), and met Dong Zhuo's Eastern Route Army led by Xu Rong on the west bank, and the battle broke out, and Cao Cao's army was not superior in numbers or equipment compared to Dong Zhuo's Western Liang army. In addition, he was a new recruit, and the generals lacked military experience, so they quickly fell into passivity. Cao Cao's war horse was also shot to death, and it was Cao Hong who gave up his war horse to Cao Cao, so he escaped with his life.
In this way, it is not much different from what Han Fei knows. It's just this......
It can't be made up by Lao Luo again, right...... Yes. In the romance, it is said that Cao Cao's defeat was already after Dong Zhuo moved the capital, that is to say, if Cao Cao chased, he could only chase west, and Bianshui was in the east, which was obviously the opposite direction!
It's not just a matter of going the other way, it's also about the time!
Perhaps, this is the truth of Cao Cao's defeat in Bianshui...... Han Fei thought so.
I sorted out my thoughts. Han Fei calmed down and asked lightly, "How many centaurs are left in Cao Mengde?" ”
"Because it's a battle of the backwater. Therefore, there were not many people who fled back, and Jia Fang waited and watched, and there were only two or three hundred people...... Eight thousand, I can't imagine that only a few people will return. Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh.
Han Fei exhaled lightly, and sure enough, it was similar to what he thought, "Fengxiao, this is war!" ”
Guo Jia nodded, "Jia knows, it's just ...... I just don't know, for a long time, how many people will be left in my ten stops, hey......"
Han Fei was also silent.
In history, after all the princes competing for the Central Plains, the Three Kingdoms, and then the world returned to Jin, the last remaining population was only one-twelfth of the late Han Dynasty, and the people were all gone!
If only this war had ended sooner......
Han Fei didn't want to mention this heavy topic again, so his voice changed and he asked, "Then where is Cao Mengde now?" ”
Guo Jia weileng, "It seems that I went to the big tent of the coalition army." ”
And so it was!
Han Fei smiled slightly, his eyes were full of inexplicability, "Let's go, you and I will go and join in the fun......"
……
“…… If you can listen to my strategy, make one handsome Hanoi soldiers and horses cross the river to attack Mengjin, sour jujube you occupy Chenggao and Aocang, capture the two passes of Jinyuan and Taigu, control the natural danger, and then lead the army to cross the Danshui, attack Wuguan, and threaten Sanfu, after that, we will all build high and deep walls, hang free battle cards, set up more suspicious soldiers, show Dong Zhuo old thieves with the momentum of the world, they will soon fall apart. Now, you are hesitant to advance, there is a large army in hand, and you have done nothing in the face of the thief army, which is really disappointing to the people of the world, and I Cao Cao is ashamed of you......"
When he arrived at the big tent of the coalition army, Han Fei heard someone in the tent angry, this voice was somewhat familiar, it was Cao Cao.
Stepping into the tent, I saw all the princes arranging a feast, in the center, a group of courtesans stood there trembling, in front, a little black and short general, was spitting and spitting stars, scolding, and the princes were bowing their heads, with different expressions on their faces.
Han Fei smiled in his heart, Cao Cao at this time was still quite lacking in military acumen, no wonder he would lose to Xu Rong. The First Battle of Bianshui had exposed the shortcomings of the coalition army's lack of combat effectiveness to the fullest, and if it was really as he said, forcibly crossing the river to attack Mengjin, it was certain that it would be difficult for a single person to come back alive.
Cao Cao attacked Chenggao with relatively elite troops, but he didn't even see the shadow of Chenggao, and he was defeated in Bianshui, but pinned his hopes on other generals who had no military experience, and took new recruits to capture Chenggao, Aocang, Jinyuan, Taigu and many other fortresses, and then "Gaole deep wall, hang the war card", isn't it a fool's dream?
I'm afraid that I still can't even beat a fortress, and finally end up with a total annihilation!
In order to preserve their own power and safeguard their own interests, the princes of Zhonglu will definitely not adopt Cao Cao's high-risk battle plan, Cao Cao did not say anything new, Cao Cao at this time is not a "born to know" military genius, like Guo Jia before, they are still very young, they have since used soldiers like gods, all by constantly accumulating war experience, summing up the lessons of failure, as the so-called "failure is the mother of success".
What Han Fei also knew was that in history, it was precisely because of this defeat that Cao Cao and the impossibility of the princes from all walks of life could make a difference, so Cao Cao returned to his hometown of Qiaoxian with Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong and other generals, and then went to Yangzhou to recruit troops, plus Cao Hong's family was wealthy. is well-known in Jianghuai and Huai, which led to Cao Cao's later rise.
Now......
"Brother Mengde......" Han Fei greeted and glanced at the princes. Laughing: "Why are you so angry? It is said that the crusade against the national thieves has been diligent, so they have forgotten to sleep and eat, but since the alliance, all the princes, except for the Bao brothers, Sun Changsha and my Jizhou. And what kind of performance? Hmph, he keeps saying that he is for the country and the people, but he spends all day drinking. Drunk and dreaming of death, and other behaviors, can't Brother Meng De still see clearly? ”
"Brother Xueyuan, ...... you" Cao Cao was stunned. I was surprised. I was surprised how Han Fei could say such a thing!
Although the princes are also the same as Han Fei said, no matter what, they are all here to crusade against national thieves in name, and they are the existence of heads and faces, everyone knows it, but who dares to make it clear and say it in person?
It's one thing to know and say it. That's another story!
I can't afford to offend people just by offending people!
But Han Fei actually picked it out. Although Cao Cao was happy to listen to Han Fei's words, he was still inevitably surprised, isn't this kid afraid of offending the princes of the world?
Is Han Fei afraid?
He's afraid!
However, what's the use of being afraid, don't offend, will Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan let their father and son go? If you're afraid, will Jizhou be safe?
Apparently impossible!
Even if a few more enemies are added, so what?
What's more, now that he has picked it out, he has no intention of getting the favor of Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others, and he can show his loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, and his eagerness to get rid of thieves for the country.
So why not?
"Don't hide it from Brother Meng De, I am thinking about leaving these days, and if I want to come, it will be only in these few days, this time, I should ......say goodbye to everyone," Han Fei smiled and said.
What the?!
Han has to go?!
When he landed, everyone's heads were raised, and they looked at the young man in white with shocked eyes.
Since Han Fei fought against Lu Bu twice, he has won victory again and again, and now he can be said to be a banner of the coalition army, with him Han Fei is there, the morale of the coalition army is high, but if Han Fei leaves......
All the princes, from Yuan Shao to Zhang Yang and others, suddenly had a headache.
Cao Cao was also stunned, and after a long time, he hurriedly said: "If Brother Xueyuan leaves, what should I do here?" ”
Yes, Han Fei is gone, who will deal with Lu Bu?
It's like, Han Fei is no longer here, and the coalition army will be defeated!
"Hehe, what can you do if you stay here?" Han Fei pursed his lips, full of disdain, "Brother Meng De also saw it, Dong Zhuo's old thief shrank in the pass and didn't come out, and most of my coalition forces are inactive, so why don't you leave?" Besides, if you want to get rid of the national thief, it doesn't mean that you can only do it here, such as Wuguan or Chenggao...... Hehe, even though I, Han Fei, have left here, I will definitely not let Dong Thief have a good time! ”
Han Fei's words were impassioned, and when he heard the heads of the princes just raised, they lowered their heads, but Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others were very excited.
"Brother Xueyuan, what are you going to do?" Cao Cao walked up to Han Fei in a few steps, grabbed Han Fei's hand, and held it firmly, fearing that Han Fei would run away, "How about counting me Cao Cao?!" ”
Sun Jian's eyes were also vaguely eager, but he didn't move.
"Hehe, the secret of heaven must not be revealed, as for Brother Meng De'......" Han Fei smiled slightly and said: "With Brother Meng De's help, why worry about not succeeding in a big event, and not being able to get rid of thieves for the country?" Therefore, I dare not invite you! Just ......"
Han Fei paused, and then said: "It's not that the junior brother is resigned, it's just that Brother Meng De is newly defeated, and there are not many soldiers and horses under him, if Brother Meng De is really interested, it is better to recruit some more military horses, it will not be too late at that time, I don't know what Brother Meng De wants?" ”
Cao Cao nodded again and again, "That's what I mean!" Without further ado, I will rush back to my hometown, recruit soldiers and horses, and help my brother to accomplish this! ”
With that, Cao Cao prepared to turn around and leave.
"Brother Meng De, no matter how anxious you are, why don't you drink a few glasses before leaving?" Han Fei grabbed Cao Cao and said with a smile.
"Uh...... That's good! So, the disturbed ......" (to be continued......)
