Chapter 13: The Crossing of the Transferred Officers, the Beginning of the Decisive Battle!
"The child has seen the middle father!" After Lu Rui diverted Han Meng's pursuers, he returned to the Cao army camp in Chen Liu with his military horses.
"Hahahaha, extraordinary is not only smart and witty, but also courageous, and actually collected more than a thousand military horses. Not bad, very good. ”
"Thank you for the compliment!"
"Well, since Bufan has more than 1,000 military horses, this Sikong has decided to give these more than 1,000 military horses to Bufan, and Bufan can use these more than 1,000 military horses to form his own headquarters." Cao Cao was very angry and sent a thousand military horses to Lu Rui.
"Thank you, Father!" Lu Rui's heart blossomed, more than 1,000 military horses are a great reward, Lu Rui has been operating in Fan County for many years, that is, about 2,000 military horses. What's more, this is Lu Rui's headquarters, which belongs to Lao Cao's army and is raised by Lao Cao, not Lu Rui's money. I have followed Lao Cao for a few years, and the pro-army in the house has lost a lot, and the money is also flowing like water, I can't afford to be hurt, I really can't afford to be hurt!
After rewarding Lu Rui, Cao Cao summoned all the civil and military personnel to the military tent to discuss political affairs.
"See Sikong-sama!"
"You don't have to be polite, get up!"
"Lord Xie Sikong!"
"Fengxiao, let me tell me about the current situation of our army and Yuan's army."
"Yes, sir!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, since the beginning of the year, Yuan Shao's subordinate Chen Lin issued a document on the crusade against the lords, our army and Yuan Shao have begun to fight. Now, our army has lost Yanjin and Baima, Yuan Shao's army has crossed the Yellow River, and the army is fully pressing towards our Yanzhou.
"Yuan Shaoqin led an army of 200,000 to march to Guandu, an important town of our army. His sons, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi. Yuan Shang. The nephews and senior cadres each commanded an army of 50,000. Attack the front line of my East County, Zhencheng and Qingzhou. ”
When everyone heard this, they all breathed a long sigh of relief, obediently, Yuan Shao actually had an army of 400,000 to attack Yanzhou in an all-round way.
"Fengxiao, tell me about the deployment of our army."
"Yes, sir!"
"Beihai is too guarded. Dongjun guarded Liu Ting, Zhencheng guarded Cheng Yu, and Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Xiu commanded an army of 50,000 troops, stationed in various places to resist the attacking Yuan army. Relying on the terrain and the city, Yuan's army could not take a single step forward. Now only General Cao Ren is on the front line of Guandu commanding 10,000 troops to garrison, and Yuan Shao's main force of 200,000 is rushing to Guandu! ”
As soon as Guo Jia's words fell, everyone began to talk about it, Lu Rui touched his chin, and the real battle of Guandu was about to begin. From Qingzhou to Yanzhou, the battle line is so long.
"Ladies and gentlemen. This division has decided to personally lead an army of 20,000 to support Guandu, do you have any objections? ”
"Lord Sikong is wise, and I will obey Lord Sikong's orders!"
"Good! Today, this Sikong made an oath here, and he will definitely turn Yuan Shao into the halberd and cross the official crossing, take Hebei directly, and help the Han Dynasty! ”
"Let Yuan Shao break the halberd and cross the official crossing, take Hebei directly, and help the Han!" Everyone clasped their fists and expressed their determination to Cao Cao.
After the military discussion, everyone left the Chinese military tent and returned to their camps. Lu Rui stood in front of his military tent, looking at the starry sky, and sighed infinitely in his heart, today is the first time he has used a dead soldier!
The ancient nobles kept a dead soldier, Lu Rui used a dead soldier to lure away Han Meng's army today, and it is estimated that he is dead now. For the killing of the two armies, Lu Rui has no emotion, after all, the two armies are fighting, and death is inevitable, but for the death of the loyal and righteous people in his own house, Lu Rui is still very emotional, after all, it is a loyal life!
"Master Hou, why haven't you rested yet?" Dian Wei saw Lu Rui alone outside the tent, and took a cloak to Lu Rui to keep out the cold.
"Evil? Nothing, this marquis is just sad for the dead man who died today. ”
"Huh? Hou Ye, the dead man is originally a person who serves his master, Hou Ye is sympathetic to his subordinates and rewards money and food to his family, why be sad? Dian Wei touched his head, not knowing why Lu Rui was sad for a dead man.
"But is that a life?" Lu Rui shook his head, the ancients are the ancients, and there is still a difference between the thinking and the later generations.
"Master Hou, are you laughing, life? If there is no Hou Ye, his family will definitely starve to death, and he may also be devoured by wild dogs in the wild, there are thousands of people in the Han Dynasty, and he can be a famous and dead man in the Hou Ye's mansion, and his family is still guaranteed, which is much stronger than many people! ”
When Lu Rui heard this, he was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Dian Wei to have this kind of insight, and said that if the situation is today, this is not the afterlife, but the troubled times, I would rather be a peace dog, not a person in the troubled world, it may be the voice of the people in the world now, in the troubled times, human life is not as good as animals!
Thinking of this, Lu Rui was relieved, if you want the world to be peaceful, you must calm the troubled times. Good! Let me witness the moment when Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, unify the north as soon as possible, and do one thing for the people of the north.
"Hahahaha!" Lu Rui looked at the stars in the sky and walked into his military tent with a smile, Dian Wei took the cloak and followed Lu Rui into the military tent with a confused face.
On the second day, Cao Cao led the army to move to Guandu, and Cao Ren waited for Cao Cao at the gate of Guandu's military camp early.
"See Sikong-sama!" When Cao Ren saw Cao Cao coming, he immediately led the civil and military forces to meet Cao Cao.
"You don't have to be polite, please get up!" Cao Cao dismounted and helped Cao Ren up, then took Cao Ren's hand and entered the barracks.
Cao Cao did not return directly to the Chinese military tent, but inspected the military camp with Cao Ren. Cao Cao and the other civil and military forces followed Cao Ren into the gate, and then began to inspect.
"Zixiao, why does our army have two military camps?" Cao Cao hadn't walked many steps before he found another military camp?
"Lord Sikong, this is the formation set by Renbu."
"Formation?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, what kind of formation is this?
"That's right, Lord Sikong, this is the defensive army village laid by Nairen with reference to the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array!"
"Defend the military village?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up, this was a new thing.
"Zixiao, talk to me quickly"
"Yes! Please follow me to the hills to the south. ”
"Good!" Cao Cao led the group to the south of the hill, which was not high, but it could overlook Cao Ren's military camp.
"My lord, please see, I set up eighty-one large and small military villages in accordance with the eight golden lock formations, one hundred soldiers in each military village, each military village is connected at the end, and the defensive trenches are connected to each other, if the enemy attacks me, I can concentrate my forces to defend, if the enemy attacks from all sides, our army can rely on the strong military village, stick to the military village, and it is difficult for the enemy to move forward."
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Zixiao actually used the active formation in the arrangement of the military formation, which is really high! High! ”
Lu Rui looked at the nearby military village, and sure enough, it was arranged according to the eight gates, and the eight gates golden lock array was the predecessor of the Bagua array, there were eight gates, although it was a dead formation, and the effect of the eight gates was useless, but if Yuan Jun wanted to break through Cao Jun's camp, he had to pay a heavy price, and there were eighty-one military villages here!
"My lord has won the award, this method was inspired by the extraordinary benevolence, if you talk about the first merit, it should be extraordinary!"
"Me?" Lu Rui looked at Cao Ren in confusion, he didn't teach Cao Ren to set up the formation?
"Extraordinary, do you remember the layout in the Xu Du Mansion?" Cao Ren smiled and looked at Lu Rui.
So that's the case, for fun, he laid out a formation in Xu Du's mansion, of course, they are all dead formations, and it is still okay to confuse his subordinates, Cao Ren once went to his own mansion, and there was no subordinate to lead the way, and he was trapped.
"The arrangement in the Xudu Mansion?" Cao Cao looked at the two of them suspiciously.
Then Cao Ren told Cao Cao about the layout in Lu Rui's mansion, and Cao Cao laughed.
"Extraordinary actually arranged the formation at home, not bad, not bad, the extraordinary spirit of study impressed the middle father, and the middle father must study like the sons of the Cao family when he returns to Xu Capital!"
"Thank you, Father!" Delle! I picked up another cheap one, which was originally for anti-theft, but I didn't expect it to become a diligent and studious example in Cao Cao's eyes!
"Okay, Zixiao, let's go down, return to the barracks, I want to feast Zixiao and commend Zixiao's merits."
"Please return to the barracks, and the food for the feast can be delivered here!" Cao Ren arched his hand and reported to Cao Cao.
"Why is that?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and looked at Cao Ren.
"My lord, you can overlook the entire Guandu military camp here, Ren has moved the military tent here, so that it is convenient to command the battle, please forgive me."
At this time, Cao Cao and others discovered that this was not only an observation watchtower, but also Cao Ren's military tent here.
"Zixiao is really a general, good! Cao returned to the barracks and sent the rewarded food to Zixiao! "Cao Cao definitely can't stay here, Cao Ren stuck to his post, Cao Cao praised it, and left.
In the north not far from Guandu Town, Yuan Shao's army also arrived in Guandu and set up camp at Guandu Ferry, and the two armies opened a decisive battle in Guandu! (To be continued......)
