"Sub...... Zida? Why are you back, where is Zhicai, where is Zhicai? ”

At this moment, the Yanzhou Thorn Mansion was completely shrouded in the atmosphere of life and death. Cao Cao's face was pale, with a hint of gray in it, his voice trembled, almost speechless, full of disbelief, or unwilling to believe.

Since he fled back in embarrassment, the person who couldn't stop crying as soon as he entered the door was Xia Houjie, then, to a certain extent, the ending is self-evident. Cao Cao clearly remembered that when he sent Xiahou Jie to join Xi Zhicai, he instructed the latter: personal guards, not half a step away!

Xiahou Jie does not have the bravery of his father Xiahoudun, but he is also a very reliable person, and he has always been meticulous in executing orders, without the slightest deviation. Therefore, Cao Cao often takes it with him, as a personal guard, and has deep expectations.

Xiahou Jie is back, but Xi Zhicai is nowhere to be found, and the only possibility is ......

"I damn it, I really want to die by myself, my lord, the military advisor, the military advisor ......" Xiahou Jie stumbled in all the way, and after seeing Cao Cao, he lay on the ground directly, crying a handful of snot and tears, crying silently.

"Bastard!" Xiahoudun rushed out from behind Cao Cao, kicked hard, with great force, and directly kicked Xiahoujie into the air, making a 360-degree rotation, and then fell heavily like a rag bag, making a loud bang.

The crying stopped abruptly, and the roar exploded like thunder.

"Shaft! Shaft! You have disgraced Lao Tzu's face! The lord asked you to protect the military advisor, but you actually left the military advisor behind and came back alone, why do you have this face to come to me, to see the uncle, to see the lord? You don't have the courage to die yourself, do you? Good. Let me, as a father, help you! ”

Xiahou Chun was about to go crazy.

Cao Cao's army was to some extent private soldiers, and the Cao and Xiahou families occupied many important positions in Cao's army, especially military positions. As a balance, except for Lejin, Shi Jian and other generals of the foreign system, that is, in office, it is completely dominated by celebrities from all sides, and in the shogunate, there is no family.

This is a balance, after Cao Cao learned the lessons of the fall of Yuan Shao and Liu Dai. Take a balancing act.

As long as the military power is in the hands of relatives, the power in government affairs, intelligence, and strategy can be delegate and collect. In this way, Cao Jun has the temperament to recruit talents, but also to ensure the stability of power, which is the best of both worlds.

But. The reason why Cao Cao has the confidence to do this, in the final analysis, is that there are indeed many talents among Cao and Xiahou. themselves, Miaocai, and Zixiao are all people who can fight well; Zihe and Lie are good at military affairs, and the leaders who train the soldiers are not under the head of the foreign generals at all.

Only when his own people are fighting for their own strength can Meng De have the confidence to take charge of military power with his relatives. Xiahoudun couldn't have grasped this more accurately.

And now, it was the house leak that happened to rain overnight, Zixiao died in Hebei in battle, and he finally died a heroic death. was attacked by the two famous generals of Qingzhou again, and was even more dragged back by useless friendly forces, and the staff and generals of the external department couldn't say anything.

But Xi Zhicai also had an accident, his useless son. actually escaped back with his life, which is out of the scope of the handle. It's the shame of the Cao family!

Angry and angry, he attacked mercilessly, his fists and feet were like iron casting, and he swung out with great force, and the roar he brought completely overwhelmed the howling north wind. Being hit by this kind of power, Xia Houjie has to bend even if he is steel and iron, not to mention that he is just a mortal fetus?

After the first kick, he had already vomited blood, and after three punches and two kicks, the crisp sound of fractures was heard all over the audience. No one doubted that if no one stopped him in time, Xiahoudun would beat his son to death.

Everyone looked at Cao Cao, but saw that the latter had a sad face, as if he was blind to the tragic scene in front of him, and his whole heart was immersed in grief.

Xiahou Yuan's status among the generals of the family is extremely high, only his brother Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren who died in battle can be compared, Cao Cao didn't speak, Xiahou Yuan just looked at it with a gloomy face, who dared to come forward rashly?

Xia Houjie's performance was also shocking, he was beaten like this, he actually gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, and at the same time, he didn't mean to faint, he was so stiff.

The shocking scene didn't last long, and after a while, Xun Yu finally spoke.

"General Yuan asked for a break from the wrath of the thunder, General Zida returned alone, maybe there is something unavoidable, I have to give him a chance to explain." Xun Yu said slowly: "What's more, Zhicai has always been cautious, but this time he ...... It is difficult to even ensure their own safety, and during this period...... Alas, it is always better to ask General Zida to be the lord and explain the doubts of your colleagues. ”

Xun Yu spoke, as if it was a signal, Cheng Yu followed closely and arched his hand, and said, "If what you say is very true." Zhicai instigated the Taishan group of Koukou, taking advantage of the plan to attack Mount Tai and Qingzhou, I have participated in it, although it is not foolproof, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it is nine times out of ten, how did the situation erode to this point, and only General Zida returned alone? Accountability for the military is the most important thing for Yu Zida to find out what happened to Taishan. ”

In Cao Cao's shogunate, the three strategists of Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Xi Zhicai were the leaders.

Xun Yu is in charge of internal affairs and talents, and will also participate in the formulation of grand strategies, with an excellent view of the overall situation, and is Cao Cao's most relied on strategist; Cheng Yu joined late, and he made many achievements in grasping the enemy's psychology, coupled with his identity as a native of Yanzhou, he was soon reused by Cao Cao.

Now, as soon as the two of them die, the two of them can represent the will of the shogunate. Therefore, as soon as the two of them spoke, all the staff members echoed and pleaded for Xiahoujie.

"You're right......" Cao Cao nodded imperceptibly, if he didn't look closely, he might not be able to tell whether he was nodding or just trembling.

"Yuan Rang, Fuzi Da up, find a medical officer to diagnose and treat it...... Zida, tell me, Tarzan, what happened to Tarzan? The low voice came, but with inexplicable power, it made the furious Xiahou Tang even put away his anger.

"Return, cough, return to the lord, that day. The military advisor and Zang Bazhong ...... "Before Xiahou Jie came back, he was already injured on his body, and he was beaten by his father, and he was even more injured, if it weren't for his good martial arts foundation, and he had a breath in his heart, I am afraid that he would have been speechless at this time."

He struggled, intermittently showing how to successfully instigate the Taishan group; How to successfully attack Mount Tai, very forward-looking cracked Xu Shu's various strategies and counterattacks; On the eve of success. encountered Xu Shu in Yuanshan, and was finally defeated, and the whole process of defeat and escape was said.

Seriously wounded, his description was somewhat undetailed, but those present were either familiar with military books. Either you have a deep understanding of the strategy, as long as you know a general outline, you can imagine the whole process of this battle.

For a while, the house was quiet, whether it was martial arts, foreign families, or relatives, everyone was silent, and their faces were full of shock.

From start to finish. There was no problem with Xi Zhicai's strategy and deployment, and the only reason for the failure was that the enemy was too weird.

Xu He's determination is still secondary, with Wang Yu's foresight. Since he let Xu He divide in Juping, he will definitely have some certainty, and ensure that Xu He's choice at the critical moment is beneficial to Qingzhou. Cao Jun did not do enough homework on Xu He. It's not surprising that this person would behave like this.

As a matter of fact. The winner of this battle does not lie in Xu He, Xu He's addition only makes Qingzhou achieve a more brilliant victory at a smaller price and at a faster speed.

Among them, what really shocked Cao Jun was Xu Shu's talent and Qingzhou's ability to mobilize against the sky.

According to Xiahoujie, in the battle of Yuanshan, Qingzhou mobilized at least fifty or sixty thousand militiamen! There are so many that have appeared on the battlefield one after another, and there are many of them that transport grain and grass and ensure logistics in the back...... In other words, Qingzhou easily mobilized an army of 100,000!

That's right, no matter how much the militia is, it is also a militia, and its combat effectiveness is limited. If it is just to pull people, it is also very simple, if Cao Cao wants to, it is no problem to pull up 200,000 rabble from the people.

The problem is that these people he pulled out can't play any other role than to be strong and strong, and consume food and grass. On the other hand, on the Qingzhou side, under the command of Xu Shu, a demon, the combat power of 100,000 militias was fully exerted, which was the most terrifying.

The strong men who are forcibly pulled, let alone charge in formation, a rain of arrows is enough to collapse their morale. According to Xiahoujie's description, in the first two waves of offensives organized by Xu Shu, the militia engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the bandit army with superior strength, and although the third wave did not engage in close combat, it had a long-range battle with the bandits for a long time.

The militia with this kind of performance and the militia in the usual sense are completely different things, and to some extent, these people should be included in Qingzhou's military strength!

No wonder Wang Yu didn't care about exposing his side to Zang Ba's blade, and let Xu Hezai, who had not yet fully integrated into the Qingzhou system, be in Juping. He's not taking a risk, he's just confident.

The slogan that all the people are soldiers can become a reality under the full dispatch of the Qingzhou shogunate. What's more, Wang Yu still has such a demon talent under his command, who can play the militia tactics so sharply!

Cao Junzhongwu's evaluation of Qingzhou has always been very high, and they are psychologically prepared, but at this moment, they are still shocked and speechless, and they don't know how to comment at all.

In the huge hall, only Xia Houjie's weak and intermittent voice echoed.

"The military advisor saw that things were not good, and he couldn't persuade Zang Ba to withdraw his troops, so he ordered us to leave the battlefield and retreat to Yanzhou, and everything went well, but who would have thought that Xu Shu seemed to have expected this move from the military division, and actually left the frontal battlefield in the fierce battle, led the special combat team in Qingzhou, and chased and killed him in person......"

"Among the special combat teams in Qingzhou, most of them are selected martial arts masters, who are very good at chasing and ambushing, and their offensives are extremely fierce...... The brothers fell off their horses one after another, and the broken people sent batch after batch, and when they fled to the foot of Mount Tai, including the last general, three hundred personal guards, there were only fifteen people left, although the enemy was temporarily thrown away by the military division, but with the leadership of Xu Shu, I am afraid that it will not be able to hide for long......"

"The situation is critical, the last general wants to fight to the death after breaking in person, but he has ridden his horse all the way, but the body of the military division has been ......" Xia Houjie laughed miserably, and said: "There is no choice, the last general can only set up a suspicious formation, and wants to use most of the men and horses to lead away the pursuers, and he carries the military division into the mountain, but I never thought that at this fateful moment, there was an accident again......

Xia Houjie's voice suddenly became sharp, as if he remembered the scene again, and exclaimed: "The last general and his party rested at the foot of the mountain for about a stick of incense, and they also searched around briefly in advance to confirm that it was safe, but somehow, there was a person lying in wait behind the rocks, and when the military division dismounted, this person suddenly attacked!" ”

"Seriously injured the military advisor, but this person didn't love the war, turned around and fled, the last general couldn't catch up with him...... Xia Houjie said with a sad face: "I failed to protect the military advisor, I betrayed the trust of the lord, and the last general should have died at that time, but the military advisor was still clear at that time, and he told the last general that he must convey the words to the lord, so he can only survive until now......"

"What are the words of Zhicai?" Cao Cao's eyes were already full of tears and sadness, and when he heard this, he hurriedly asked.

"The military advisor recommended a person, saying that this person is ten times more talented than himself, and if he succeeds him, he will be under Jiuquan, and he will be at ease."

"Who is so highly respected?" Cao Cao was shocked.

Xiahou Jie did not hesitate to say a name: "Yingchuan Guo Fengxiao ......"
