Leping.

There was a tense atmosphere in the Chinese military tent, whether it was the commander Cao Cao, the unruly generals, or the staff members who regarded themselves very highly, the expressions on their faces were extremely solemn.

There are many enemies, but there is only one that can bring people this kind of pressure like Mount Tai!

"It's coming so fast! How many soldiers and horses were dispatched, and who were the pioneers? Cao Cao's tone was very calm, from the moment he raised his troops to the north, he had already prepared for this day. He just didn't expect that Wang Yu was as immobile as a mountain before, which was difficult to know, and when he started it, it was so fast!

Between Lingxian and Leping, there is Luoshui connected, the terrain is flat, the army is quite convenient to march, Wang Yu marches fast, it is not an accident.

However, the outermost scouts found the Qingzhou army in the Boping area and immediately returned home. But when Boping's news reached the Chinese army, the news of Liaocheng also arrived, except for the time and place, the news in the two places was the same. It can be seen from this that Qingzhou's action is so fast and fierce.

Is it inevitable to win, a desperate attack? Under the calm tone, Cao Cao's heart was not calm at all.

"The striker is the general Tai Shici! In addition to the banner of the generals in Qingzhou, there is also the banner of Youzhou Tian Kai, with nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses! ”

The Qingzhou army in Hebei only has Xu Huang's urging battalion, although the armor is good, but the number is not many after all, if you come alone, the momentum will be weak. After Tian Kai's plain army was expanded, there were more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and if the whole army attacked, the enemy's soldiers and horses might exceed 30,000.

Now it seems that Tian Kai should have left a part of his troops to defend the Jizhou army, and confronted Gao Ran in the Qingyuan area. However, it doesn't matter how many or less of Youzhou's temporarily expanded foot soldiers, they are at most the ones who are waving the flag and shouting, the real combat power. It is the elite of Qingzhou.

"Is it too Shici? Wang Pengju He De and how can he be, there are so many good generals under his command! Cao Cao sighed sincerely.

There are also many good generals under his command, not to mention the brothers of the same clan, Lejin, Li Dian, Shi Jian and others who are admired for their service are all talented generals. However, because he has always personally commanded the army to fight, the generals under his command rarely get the opportunity to take charge alone, and even if they do, they are also tasks such as staying behind and bluffing, and they can't see their true skills. It doesn't seem to be very distinctive.

On the other hand, the five generals under Wang Yu have their own characteristics. Yu Ban is good at training troops and fighting defensive battles, even Xu Rong's methods are difficult to break; Xu Huang is good at attacking. The ability to grasp the fighter and attack the fortification is extremely strong, and with the armor, he has single-handedly created a sharp and unparalleled forward battalion.

Huang Zhong is good at shooting, and during the battle of Yangren, he followed Wang Yu's side, broke the flag with one arrow, and weiled the three armies. There is no difference at one time. Now the town guards Fenggao and is in charge, and there is no new record of success, but no one dares to underestimate this army of only 3,000 people.

Not to mention Tai Shi Ci. This fierce general of the three armies of the brave champion used his troops, and he was deeply in harmony with the purpose of the art of war, which was like a thunderbolt, in the raid on Duchang City. His courage and courage are on display. It can be a bit dangerous to use it on its own. But to take it as a striker, to capture the flag for the army, is a person who is not a good person.

The latest, and youngest, is Zhao Yun, who joined before the Battle of the Boundary Bridge.

Although Cao Cao had been closely following the dynamics in Qingzhou, Zhao Yun still made him feel unfathomable. is a year or two older than Wang Yu, usually doesn't talk much, and looks a little old, but this will not be the reason why Wang Yu entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

As soon as he joined, he became the white horse Yicong, that is, the future commander of the Qingzhou Light Cavalry Army, this kind of treatment, but the other four generals have never enjoyed. When Tai Shi Ci first entered Qingzhou, he also served as the chief general for a while, but he only led the troops to fight, but Zhao Yun was fully appointed, from recruitment, to training, to commanding operations, everything was decided by him!

Like Xu Huang and Yu Ban's troops, the future Qingzhou Light Cavalry will be branded with a very deep personal imprint, and it will be tied to the name Zhao Yun!

Cao Cao believes that such attention is certainly not for nothing.

It's just that Zhao Yun was too low-key, and he didn't stay in Qingzhou for long, and was sent back to Changshan by Wang Yu to recruit troops, and Cao Cao never got valuable information.

However, an inconspicuous rumor from Xuzhou caught his attention.

As an opponent on a par with Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu also attracted Cao Cao's attention and focused on collecting relevant information. Xu Shu is also a popular figure in his hometown, and now Yingchuan is Cao Cao's sphere of influence, so it is naturally easy to collect intelligence, and soon, there is information about Xu Shu's character, deeds, mentorship, living habits and other information on Cao Cao's desk.

Xu Shu turned out to be a ranger, and he hadn't read seriously for a few days, but people who knew him said that he was wise and resourceful, and he could see it in his usual affairs. A more vivid embodiment is that his chess skills are extremely high.

Yingchuan is a place where heroes gather, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also Confucian scholars are quite respected, and keen on the skills, the chess players here, natural masters like clouds.

But Xu Shu is invincible in Yingchuan, except for a few games lost during the beginner period, there is no record of him losing chess!

Go is just a trail, which is not enough to attract Cao Cao's attention, but the problem is that Xu Shu's opponents, without exception, all say that Xu Shu's chess strength may not be at its peak, but every time he will stand out in the middle of the game, one can't deal with it, even if it is a national player, according to it

He said.

The news of Xuzhou came from the Assassin's Mansion, saying that Tao Qian and Xu Shu played against each other, and the great Confucian Zheng Xuan accompanied him, and after losing three games in a row, the two elders strongly admired Xu Shu's chess power. Xu Shu was just modest at first, saying that there are people on people, where is Tao Qian willing to believe it, so Xu Shu said frankly that not long ago, he lost three games of chess in a row and was suppressed by others.

Tao Qian was surprised, and asked again and again, Xu Shu didn't want to say more, but then he couldn't help Tao Qian's questioning, and said the truth with a wry smile: The person who won him was Tai Shici!

Tao Qian was even more puzzled, Tai Shici's reputation for courage had spread throughout the Central Plains, there was no doubt about it, but he was still a Go master, but he had never heard of it. Zheng Xuan is also a native of Qingzhou, and he has a lot of treasures about Qingzhou characters, but he also shook his head, Xu Shu is already very powerful, and the chess players who can be firmly above him must have been famous in Qingzhou a long time ago, and he can't not know.

So, Xu Shu explained in detail. It turned out that Tai Shici came prepared, and in order to get back to the field, he also brought a helper.

Watching chess is not a true gentleman, but Tai Shici came to challenge, not purely for playing chess, but for gambling. He said in advance: two wins in three games, if Xu Shu wins, the previous things will be written off, and he apologizes to Xu Shu for pouring tea; If he wins. Xu Shu will have to call him big brother in the future.

Since it was a bet, there was no need to consider the rules, and Xu Shu was also happy to use this way to resolve disputes with colleagues, plus confidence in his chess ability, so he readily agreed.

Tai Shici's chess strength is not weak. Before the mid-game, the two had been evenly matched. However, when Xu Shu made a surprise move, the change was abrupt, and the helper began to make a move.

Winning by surprise must be based on exchanging local disadvantages for local advantages, as long as it can surprise the enemy. You can disrupt the enemy's position, expand your local advantage, and achieve the final victory.

However, in the early stages of the operation. Your own lineup is definitely full of flaws. Ordinary opponents will be attracted to a sharp offensive and will not see these weaknesses; A more clever opponent will also be confused by the scheming side in other ways to cover up the flaws; But there are always some God-men in the world. You won't be easily fooled by appearances.

Xu Shu has met similar opponents before, but he always has to go through a battle of wits back and forth. can distinguish the winner from the loser, but at that time, he was unheard of.

As long as he shows his flaws, no matter what method he uses to cover them, he will be the first to see through them and attack them. Let him move and flicker, but he can't confuse the other party.

After losing two sets in a row, the winner was already divided, and there was no need to play again, but Xu Shu was not convinced, so he had to continue to play again, and changed his way, and made strange moves from the beginning.

This time, he finally tried it, and the other party saw that the chess path was flawed, not relying on chess skills, but on something similar to intuition. In front of this person, it is best for him not to show any flaws, and to carry out offensive and defensive battles one by one, so that he can hope to win, and he will only bring humiliation on himself with strange moves.

It's a pity that he realized this too late, and finally let Tai Shici succeed.

Xu Shu also didn't care about this, Tai Shici was already older than him, and his skills were also high, and his eldest brother did not suffer a loss, and it was a great thing to be able to take the opportunity to improve the relationship.

What made him care was that the helper, that is, the new cavalry general Zhao Yun's unique ability.

Speaking of this, Xu Shu didn't continue, but brought the topic to the matter of his marriage with Tai Shici and Zhao Yun. Tao Qian and Zheng Xuan didn't ask any more questions, and after a little sigh, they changed their ways to congratulate.

It's just a rumor, and Cao Cao won't delve too deeply, but the possibilities contained in it make him extremely frightened.

If his guess is correct, the last of the five major generals in Qingzhou is likely to be the most terrifying one. This person is not in the Qingzhou Army now, but the more this happens, the more terrifying it becomes!

Thinking that such an opponent would appear on the battlefield at any time, discover his weakness at the first time, and attack it fiercely, Cao Cao's heart was cold, so he had this sigh.

He was born from the bottom of his heart, but it didn't taste in the ears of the generals, wasn't this a slap in the face? Qingzhou is a good general, and these people are mediocre?

"Lord, I am willing to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters as the vanguard to meet Tai Shici and file Wang Yu's sharpness!"

"My lord, I am willing to go! You can't capture Tai Shici alive, and you are willing to lead the army! ”

"Lord ......"

Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Xiu all have the name of bravery, except for Xiahou Chun, who stayed in Yingchuan, they all came out of the ranks at the moment and asked for their lives angrily. The rest of the generals were not far behind, and for a while, the crowd was turbulent, and the oppressive atmosphere that came from Wang Yu's prestige was swept away, and Cao Cao's agitation method immediately made a contribution.

"Your courage is commendable, and I am very grateful. Wang Yu is menacing, and he really has to try to file the enemy's edge...... "Cao Cao's gaze slowly swept over the generals, and finally stopped at a big black man like an iron tower, and laughed: "He has Tai Shici, I have evil, which is stronger and which is weak, today is just to see the superior!" ”

The black man was overjoyed, and hugged his fists and promised: "Dian Weiding will live up to the trust of the lord, and he will capture Tai Shici and dedicate it to the tent!" ”

"Good!" Cao Cao waved his hand vigorously and shouted: "You lead five hundred guards first, I should gather a large army and fight against it!" Let's see if he is a Qingzhou general, or my Yanzhou soldier! ”

The generals replied with a bang: "May I fight to the death with the lord!" ”
