"Zidan, this is going to Wating, although Zilin is a pioneer, you still have to do your best.

I know you're cautious, and you're the best candidate for the striker. However, this time the second son came forward to plead, and Yuan Rang was also sincere. Zilin is frivolous, but after all, he has followed the lord for many years and is familiar with the art of war, so he will not make a big mistake in the future. You do your best to cooperate with him, and you need to be careful about the tile pavilion. The place where the village must be the key road is that the soldiers and horses are eager not to steal. After encampment, he drew four or eight maps of the geographical shape and sent them to me to see, and he had to discuss everything and stop doing it, and he must not act rashly. If Wating is held this time, the first contribution to the westward march into Liangzhou will belong to the two of you. I wronged you this time, but there are a lot of opportunities after entering Liangzhou, so don't be resentful. ”

After returning to Yinpan, Cao Ren immediately found Cao Zhen and explained to him repeatedly.

Cao Zhen was originally full of confidence, thinking that he was the first to enter Liangzhou...... Who would have thought that Cao Pi inserted a lever horizontally, which also made him subservient to the deputy general.

If you say that there is no resentment in your heart, it must be a lie.

However, since Cao Ren has said it to this point, Cao Zhen can't say anything more.

He has great respect for Xiahoudun.

It's just that Xiahou Nan...... Cao Zhen is not too familiar with him, but no matter what, they all belong to the sequence of Cao's second generation, and it is not easy to lose face.

Besides, Cao Pi and Xiahoudun are also involved in this, and Cao Zhen can also understand Cao Ren's difficulties.

"The general can rest assured, he really understands in his heart."

He surrendered his order, which also made Cao Ren breathe a sigh of relief.

To be honest, Cao Ren was also afraid that Cao Zhen would be dissatisfied because of this incident.

Seeing that Cao Zhen promised to do his best to assist Xiahou Nan, Cao Ren breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and patted Cao Zhen's shoulder, and said no more.

The next day, Xiahou Nan arrived at Yinpan and joined forces with Cao Ren.

Cao Ren immediately ordered that with Xiahou Nan as the vanguard and Cao Zhen as the deputy general, he led 5,000 soldiers and horses to set off first and rushed to Wating Tun.

"Within three days, I will lead a large army to Wating."

Before setting out on the expedition, Cao Ren called Xiahou Nan to the front, "This battle of Wating is the key for us to enter Liangzhou.

Within three days, there must be no mistakes, and if you lose the tile pavilion, you will bring your head to see you...... In addition, everything needs to be discussed with Zidando, and you must not make your own opinions. I guess that Liu Chuang will never sit idly by and watch me occupy Wating, and will definitely send a general to fight.

Now Liu Chuang is among the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, and Huang Zhong is in Hehuang, stationed on the bank of the West Sea; Zhao Yun sits in the pastoral garden and needs to prevent Wei Duan's soldiers and horses; Ma Chao is attacking Namu Chenggu with all his might, and he can't pull out. So I thought that Xu Shu would definitely send Xiahou Lan from Fengyi Mountain...... That Xiahou Lan was brave and good at fighting, and he followed Liu Chuang for many years, experienced on the battlefield, and had outstanding military skills. You must not underestimate this person. ”

Xiahoulan has been following Liu Chuang for a long time, and Cao Ren certainly knows him.

From Xuzhou to Xudu and then to Liaodong...... This Xiahou Lan can be described as a sharp blade in Liu Chuang's hands.

He had no cavalry under his command, and he had participated in many battles of Liu Chuang in northern Xinjiang. Although he was stationed in Shuofang in the past two years, he did not participate in the Battle of Jizhou. But for Cao Ren, his understanding of Xiahou Lan is far better than Zhao Yun's. So in his opinion, Xia Houlan's threat was far greater than Zhao Yun's. After all, Zhao Yun still only has the prestige of the first battle of Hehuang, and it is indeed not as famous as Xiahou Lan.

Xiahou Mao, Vivi is Nuo.

He ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses and left Yinpan with Cao Zhen.

It's just that he left the Yin Pan with his front foot, and he said with some unhappiness on his back foot: "Uncle Zixiao is too cautious, and he is afraid of that intruder?"

In my opinion, Chuang'er is just lucky, how can he have any real skills.

As for that Xiahou Lan, he was just a small rider under General Lu Qian's account back then. If you don't follow the break, where will you get so much prestige? ”

Xiahou Nan was extremely contemptuous of Xiahou Lan in his heart.

Although they all have the surname Xiahou, in Xiahou Nan's opinion, Xiahou Lan is not worthy of this surname at all.

A ** people, but it was only because of that Liu Chuang that he became famous...... Don't you think you were wandering around like a lost dog?

How can this kind of person be worthy of the surname 'Xiahou'.

Cao Zhen frowned, a little unhappy in his heart.

However, he looked at Xiahou and Cao Pi's face, and did not refute Xiahou Nan's face.

Xiahou Nan saw that Cao Zhen did not agree, and suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart.

But he didn't dare to trouble Cao Zhen...... After all, Cao Zhen is Cao **'s godson, and Cao ** attaches great importance to it. Don't talk about him, even Cao Pi doesn't dare to provoke Cao Zhen too much. Now that the second generation of Cao has begun to rise, Cao Peng, Cao Zhen, and Cao Xiu are extremely close.

In this case, Cao Pi also wanted to win over Cao Zhen and others, but Cao ** was still there, Cao Peng and the three were loyal to Cao **, and Cao Pi didn't dare to be too explicit. It is for this reason that Cao Pi is desperate to support a few available people. Xiahou Nan, who has always been friendly with Cao Pi, is also the object that Cao Pi wants to work hard to support. This time he went west to Liangzhou, and Cao Pi naturally hoped that Xiahou Nan could win the first credit.

Therefore, Xiahou Nan didn't like Cao Zhen, but he didn't dare to go too far.

It's just that I have a mustard in my heart, and I always feel that Cao Zhen is too proud......

After the two soldiers arrived at Wating, Xiahou Nan looked at the terrain and couldn't help laughing: "Why is Uncle Zixiao so careful? How dare the Xiliang soldiers come to this tile pavilion danger? ”

Cao Zhen saw that he was a little slack, and hurriedly said: "Zilin must not take it lightly.

Wating is the barrier of Guanzhong, and it is also the main point of westward entry into Liangzhou. The soldiers and horses of Xiliang will not sit idly by and watch us occupy the tile pavilion, and we must be careful to take precautions. It is imperative to go down to the village at these four to eight main entrances in order to prepare in advance for a sneak attack by the Naxi Liang army. ”

Who knows, Xiahou Nan smiled.

Although what Zidan said is reasonable, it is not a good strategy.

Is the way to go down to the village? There will be no buffer at all...... I look at this place, there is a high mountain on the side, not connected on all sides, and the trees are very wide, it is a godsend danger, you can camp troops on the mountain. The art of war is cloudy, and under the high vision, it is like splitting bamboo...... If the Xiliang army dares to come, he will be told not to leave a piece of armor. ”

Cao Zhen listened, but couldn't help frowning.

"Although I am in the battle, everywhere I go, Sikong will give advice with all my heart.

When I look at this mountain, it is a Jedi...... If the Xiliang soldiers cut off my way of drawing water, supplemented by fire attacks, the sergeants will be chaotic without a fight. ”

When Xiahou Nan heard this, his face became extremely ugly.

"Zidan, don't use the lord to pressure me, let alone talk nonsense.

Sun Tzu said: Put it to death and then live...... If the Xiliang army really cut off my way to draw water, wouldn't my soldiers fight to the death? It can be a hundred.

I am familiar with military books, and I am also quite praised, why do you want to oppose me?

Could it be that I have taken away your position as a pioneer, so I am dissatisfied, so I deliberately oppose me? ”

When Cao Zhen heard this, his face changed.

He forcibly suppressed his anger, "What did Zilin say about this?" I'm just talking to you, so why am I going against you?

If you insist on going down and down the mountain, I will not stop you. In this way, you divide my 2,000 soldiers and horses, and a small village under the mountain, which can form a corner with you. If the Xiliang soldiers arrive, we can also echo each other, so as not to be unable to take care of each other. In my heartfelt words, there is absolutely no selfish distraction. You and I both work for Sikong, and westward entry into Liangzhou is a matter of importance, how can I ignore the overall situation with some trivial matters? ”

At this moment, a scout came to report: "The Xiliang Army has Xiahoulan as the main general, commanding 30,000 troops, and is approaching Wating." ”

Xiahou Nan saw that Cao Zhen couldn't move, and he was also extremely angry in his heart.

"If you don't listen to my orders, I can't help it.

In this way, I will go to the village with you with a thousand soldiers and horses...... However, when I break the Xiliang soldiers and behead that Xiahou Lan, don't take credit from me. ”

A thousand soldiers?

Cao Zhen's heart suddenly burned with anger.

However, Xiahou Nan has a resolute attitude and is a pioneer officer...... He also knew that if he continued to argue, it would make this guy even more angry. When the time comes, wouldn't it be even more troublesome if you don't even give yourself a thousand soldiers and horses? Thinking of this, Cao Zhenyi gritted his teeth, led a thousand people to leave, and camped at the foot of the mountain.

At the same time, he sent someone to draw a geographical map and told Cao Ren what Xiahou had left in the village.

It's just that in my heart, I feel extremely uneasy......

Xiahou Lan looked down on that Xiahou Lan, but when Xiahou Lan followed Liu Chuang to the south and the north, you Xiahou Lan was still studying at home.

How can such a stubborn person deal with a fierce general like Xia Houlan?

Cao Zhen, I feel an incomparably headache!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After Xiahou Lan got the order, he immediately led his troops from Fengyi Mountain and went straight to Wating.

When he was about to arrive at Wating, he suddenly got the news that Cao Ren's vanguard army had arrived in Wating...... When Xia Houlan heard this, she immediately showed a look of shock.

"I didn't expect Cao **'s action to be so fast?"

He thought that his movements were fast enough, but he knew that Cao Jun's speed was even faster than him.

This also made Xia Houlan feel a great headache, and she gritted her teeth and was silent for a long time.

Cao ** occupied the tile pavilion and was bound to defend it strictly.

Although he had an army of 30,000 with him, he couldn't set up a formation at all in such a dangerous place. If you want to attack, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses...... This is not the result that Xia Houlan wants to see. But the problem is that Cao ** occupied Wating, and Xiahoulan had no other way than to attack.

"Why did the general look distressed? I watched the tile pavilion, but it was not difficult to conquer. ”

Xia Houlan looked up and saw that he was indeed joining the army.

This Pang Miao is a member of the Jiuquan Cousin family...... After Yang Fu surrendered, he recommended this person to Ma Chao.

However, Ma Chao's surname is arrogant and he is not very happy with scholars. But Xu Shu liked this person very much, so he begged for it and recommended it to Xia Houlan.

In his letter to Xiahoulan, he said: "Zi Yiyi, there is great talent, do not slack off. ”

Who is Xu Shu?

The dignified general's general's military division is one of the three masterminds around Liu Chuang.

He admires this person so much, which shows that this Pang Miao has real talent and real learning. Since Xia Houlan became the main general of this no-horseman, he has suffered from the lack of staff around him. He wanted to ask Liu Chuang, but the problem was that Liu Chuang was short of people around him, so where could he transfer him? Ordinary people, Xia Houlan can't look down on them; If you have real talent and real learning, Liu Chuang must first take it for yourself...... Fortunately, before entering Liangzhou this time, Meng Jian said to him: Liangzhou, there are so many righteous people. As long as Heng Ruo can patiently search, he will definitely be able to find the right person, so why bother the general?
