However, Xu Du Cao Cao had a move, and suggested that the generals in the army were meritorious and meritorious in the court, and when they were titled, they strengthened their prestige, and expressed Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Zhang He, and Xu Huang in front of the Son of Heaven

Cao Cao responded in this way, although he acted step by step, but it also played a good role in the army, the five generals in the Cao army, the credit is not small, Cao soldiers and soldiers are convinced of the prime minister's arrangement, even Cao Cao's clan generals, did not raise any objections to Cao Cao's actions.

Zhang Liao Zhen Shouchun, Jiangdong did not dare to enter the Central Plains, Lejin in the battle of Guandu and the battle of Qingzhou, the performance was good, Zeng Li beheaded Chun in Qiong in Wuchao, captured Ling Tong in Beihai, in the ban to deter Xuzhou, Xu Huangtun soldiers Wancheng important place, Zhang He Wei Zhen Hebei, under Yuan Shao's account, is one of the "Hebei Four Court Pillars", and moved the capital to Yecheng, Zhang He dedicated the bronze sparrow, also has meritorious service......

It can be said that these five people are the backbone of the Cao clan in addition to the Cao clan, and it is understandable that Cao Cao gave them such praise.

The news of the saint's enshrinement of the "Five Good Generals" soon spread to Jingxiang, and Pang Shanmin heard Cao Cao's actions, but he didn't think so.

However, the five tiger generals in the army were angry at Cao Cao's shameless behavior.

As soon as the saint sealed the five tigers of Jingxiang, this Cao Cao had to follow closely and seal five more people, so how could it appear that the five tigers were more powerful than many generals in the world? It is better to have the ability to compete on the battlefield above the battlefield than to conspire and intrigue now, and to confront the "Five Tiger Generals" in the name of "Five Good Generals".

"It's just too much of a deception!"

Above the Xiangyang court, the five tigers were all there, all of them were indignant, Huang Zhong was in front of Pang Shanmin, and said with a gloomy face: "Shanmin." If Cao Cao is reluctant to give up the name of 'Five Tigers', he will not give up the five of us! And why bother with it? Find some ordinary generals, for the five good generals, bury me and wait! ”

Ordinary general......

Perhaps in Huang Zhong's eyes, all the generals of Cao Ying are ordinary generals.

In fact, in Pang Shanmin's view, Cao Cao's appointment of five good generals was also a last resort, and the performance of five generals outside the clan could also make the strength of the generals of the Cao Ying clan and the generals with different surnames more balanced. So that Cao Cao could collect the hearts of generals with different surnames.

However, this method was not clever enough, and Cao Cao should be able to consider that if he acted like this, he would be resented by the five tigers of Jingxiang. Until now. Pang Shanmin did not receive a word from Cao Cao, and gave a slight explanation about the matter of enclosing the five good generals. Since Cao Cao never mentioned imitating Jing Xiang's actions, Pang Shanmin felt that he should also repair a book and send it to Xu Du for questioning.

Could it be that Cao Cao thinks that the five tigers of Jingxiang can be bullied?

Seeing Huang Zhong's indignant expression, Pang Shanmin smiled at Huang Zhong and said, "The old general is calm and don't be impatient. Pang has dealt with this matter! ”

Huang Zhong was puzzled. Just about to ask again, I heard Pang Shanmin say again: "Although the five good generals have some ability, but these five people are better at commanding the army, on the battlefield, but it is difficult for you to be your opponents, since Cao Cao is eager to strengthen the prestige of the Cao army, it is better for Pang to write another letter, invite Cao Cao to lead the five good generals to the border of Runan, and compete with you in martial arts?" ”

When Huang Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and after a while, he said with a look of disbelief: "Mountain people, these five generals are all guarding important places, and they can't be moved lightly, even if the mountain people write books, then Cao Cao will not be able to fulfill the wishes of the mountain people!" The mountain people are so provocative, it's too child's play, how can Cao Cao be willing to fall for the trick easily? ”

"Cao Cao will definitely not follow Pang Mou's wishes, but Pang Mou's attitude, Cao Cao needs to know, and Pang Mou is provoking, and he can also want the world to know, the five tigers are not afraid of Cao Ying's five good generals at all, so since Cao Cao doesn't even dare to have a real sword and real gun battle, what is the prestige of the five good generals?" Pang Shanmin said, everyone in the hall was stunned for a while, came back to their senses, and everyone laughed. …,

Public opinion warfare is not such an uncommon tactic for Jing Xiang, in the past, Pang Shanmin used such a strategy to expel Liu Bei, but now it is just a different way, and this strategy is used on Cao Cao.

Cao Ying's five good generals are all guarding important places, and now although Zhou Yu is returning to Lujiang, but Shouchun Zhang Liao, he must always be vigilant against Jiangdong military and horse movements, Wancheng is bordered by Jingxiang Zhudi, although the two princes have a covenant to strike the war, Xu Huang can not leave lightly.

No matter how provocative Pang Shanmin is, then Cao Cao will never make such an appointment, since the five sons will not come, then Pang Shanmin will have room to operate public opinion.

If you don't come, you'll be afraid!

Since you are afraid, and you are a good general? Once rumors spread among the people, the five sons will say it, and it will become a joke.

After Pang Shanmin told the generals what he thought in his heart, Huang Zhong couldn't help laughing and said to Pang Shanmin: "The old man also hopes that Cao Jun should have some backbone, that is, he must not leave without permission, and Cao Cao should also send strong generals again to fight for ambition!" It is the general of his clan, who went to Runan and fought with us, and the old man did not dislike it! ”

Huang Zhong said, everyone laughed, Zhang Fei said with relatives: "When I was in Xudu before, my old Zhang looked at the generals of the Cao army, like local chickens and dogs, presumably it was the provocation of the mountain people, and Cao Cao did not dare to fight!" ”

"Whether Cao Cao should fight or not, there is no harm to us, if he responds to the battle, it will be the prestige of the five tigers, Pang also believes that the martial arts of the five generals are better than Cao Jiang, if they should not, but it is better, Pang Mou acts like this, he will be able to let Cao Cao, regret it! So that Cao Cao knew that Pang Mou acted but it was not so easy to learn! ”

At that moment, Pang Shanmin wrote a letter, ordering the messenger to rush to Xu Du and his party to attract the anger of the Cao army, although the two families had a covenant to strike the war, Pang Shanmin did not want to let that Cao Cao stop, if he dared to move rashly, Pang Shanmin did not mind restarting the war between the two families.

The Battle of Qingzhou had just ended, and Cao's army was unable to fight again, so he took this opportunity to put Cao Cao in a dilemma, and in Pang Shanmin's view, it was the right time.

Pang Shanmin's handwritten letter went to Xu Capital in a few days, and Cao Cao was furious after reading Pang Shanmin's letter.

summoned the ministers in the prime minister's mansion to discuss matters, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and other strategists couldn't cry or laugh after reading the letter.

The set of generals will meet at the border of Runan, perform martial arts, compete for the superior, this matter is easy to say, but the generals in the army have the responsibility of defending the territory, if you mobilize a place, it is not easy, Jing Xiang is down, before the transfer of generals, now the five tigers are in Xiangyang, but the five good generals, but stationed in the city, can not leave without permission.

Seeing Cao Cao's frosty face, Guo Jia couldn't help but persuade him: "Don't be angry, Prime Minister, this matter is just a provocation by the people of Pang Mountain, and it can't be taken seriously!" ”

"If you don't go, wouldn't others be afraid that Cao would not succeed!" Cao Cao gritted his teeth and snorted coldly: "Now Cao Mou understands, this three-year strike is just a disguise, this Jingxiang child really doesn't dare to fight with Cao?" ”

"The prime minister can't be fooled!" Xun Yu said anxiously when he heard this: "Now that Jingxiang is strong and the Central Plains is weak, and Qingzhou is initially decided, the prime minister really has no strength to fight. ”

Xun Yu said, Cao Cao glanced at Xun Yu angrily, Xun Yu saw this and hurriedly said: "Cheng is quite patient, Pang Shanmin is a young man, just ignore him!" ”

"Juvenile heart?" Cao Cao snorted coldly when he heard this, and said to the ministers: "If Yiwen Ruo said this, I am a hero in the Central Plains, and I was forced to panic by a young man with a heart all day?" ”

When Xun Yu heard this, he didn't dare to say more, Guo Jia shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said to Cao Cao: "The prime minister is a little restless, no matter how Pang Shanmin acts, the matter of the saint sealing the five sons of the good generals is a foregone conclusion, and now everyone in the world knows that under the command of the prime minister, the five sons of the good generals can be defeated by the five tigers, even if they refuse Jing Xiang's provocation and do not fight with him, then Pang Shanmin can get the slightest benefit?" ”

"But in Cao's heart, he is depressed!" When Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's persuasion, he was not as angry as before, and sighed lightly: "If I have the strength to fight, how can I make Jing Xiang so rampant?" ”

Seeing this, Guo Jia sighed lightly and said: "Prime Minister, three years is enough for me to fight hard in the Central Plains, accumulate strength, and fight with Jing Xiang. ”

Seeing that Cao Cao calmed down, Guo Jia said again: "Guo has some friendship with Pang Shanmin, and this time the book matter, let Guo do it for him, I don't know what the prime minister thinks?" ”

Guo Jia said, Cao Cao sighed, nodded, and said to Guo Jia: "Just listen to Fengxiao's advice, Cao Mou this time, don't worry about him!" ”
