Chapter 10: Talking about the battle
Guo Huai responded, willing to charge first, Cao Cao turned his head and looked, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Cao Cao had an impression of Guo Huai. Although Guo Boji did not officially apprentice, Xun also regarded him as a disciple and often took him with him, of course, Cao Cao could not have seen him; Second, Guo Huai and Zhuge Liang are different, there is a father who is too guarded in Yanmen, how can Cao Cao not pay more attention? This time Guo Huai was allowed to make up for the "Tiger and Leopard Ride", Cao Chun also greeted Cao Cao, if Cao Cao did not nod, Guo Boji, who was neither a veteran nor a person, might not be eligible to join the team.
But Cao Cao was happy, but Cao Chun was a little unhappy - oh, the prime minister asked who dared to charge first, I didn't respond as a general, and a young general under my command came out of the crowd, is this a slap in the face? At that moment, Cao Zihe gritted his teeth, and arched his hand on horseback: "I am purely willing to lead the tiger and leopard to ride first!" ”
He knew Cao Cao's temper, although he was close to old age, but his pride was undiminished, and as soon as his interest came up, it was still like beating Xu Rong on the bank of Xingyang Bianshui back then, and he was going to go into battle in person. Especially when the words are said this time-you don't rush at me-unless the Xun uncle and nephew or Guo Fengxiao are here, no one may be able to stop it. Oh, it was Hongsuke who might be able to stop it, but he didn't mean to stop it.
So as a trusted general, is it really up to the lord to take the lead? Isn't that louder than Guo Huai coming out of the crowd and slapping himself? Will you still have the face to lead the troops to fight again in the future? It's a big deal! In order to shroud the body of the horse leather, but to die on the coffin, it is really a blind death! So—"Lord, stand back, and watch us break the enemy!" ”
Cao Chun's statement, Xiahou Lian and Gao Ran couldn't hold back. They all asked for war. Even Xu Yu said: "If the lord doesn't come down the mountain." I wish to take the head of the ruined ton! ”
Cao Cao was quite proud - the strategy of the agitation was a perfect success. The morale was instantly boosted. At the moment, he still spread his hands, but he beckoned: "Take a certain big bank!" From the person presented the handsome flag, Cao Cao handed it to Guo Huai: "The tiger and leopard ride first, the rest follow, if Qing and others win, a certain will not go down the mountain, if frustrated, a certain is down the mountain and Qing is equal to death!" ”
It was Xun Xin who said don't mind. All armies can go down the mountain and charge into battle, and we, the civil officials, can stand still on the mountain, but if you rush down as the chief general, we can't stand still. He began to feel a little annoyed with his Meng Lang - this battle is very dangerous, it has been won in history, but it may not be able to be won in reality, and Zhang Wenyuan is missing...... In the era of cold weapons, the general's personal martial arts can still add a lot of weight to the balance of victory and defeat, and if there is one less, maybe the winning surface will drop to less than fifty percent.
It's better to work with Wang Cang and them to persuade Cao Cao to stick to White Wolf Mountain...... Pity. Regret medicine has nowhere to touch.
Look at Guo Boji taking the big silk with both hands, that excitement. From the heels to the top door, even a fool can see it. Immediately, Cao Chun rectified the "Tiger and Leopard Ride", lined up in a wedge-shaped formation, danced with a big lance, and pointed: "Don't care about the enemy, just take the head!" With a whistling sound, he rushed down first. Xiahou Lian and Gao Ran each rate of the department, left and right cover.
In fact, this White Wolf Mountain is not high, and the cavalry can gallop along the path stepped by the Qiao Cairen, and immediately rushed down the mountain with "hulala", and began to accelerate two arrows away from the enemy. It's Xun and the mountain to look at it, this heart is hanging in his throat, and he almost wants to close his eyes - he can't use it anyway, life and death are fate, I won't look at it!
It is estimated that Xie An in the later generations of the Battle of Weishui was also like this, anyway, the soldiers have already been sent out, winning or losing, it all depends on the will of God, rather than worrying all day long, it is better to find someone to play a game of chess and distract your attention.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pull Wang Cang: "Zhong Xuan wants to talk about a game?" Wang Cang was so anxious that he rolled his eyes, saying that life and death are instantaneous, why did you think of playing chess? Who can feel that way? Shi Xun said that you can't understand the war anyway, so instead of stomping on the mountain, let's play a game of chess-"Even if you die, you won't fall into the spirit of my generation of Confucianism." ”
Wang Cang just refused, Cao Cao heard it next to him, and couldn't help but glance at Shi Xun, and said in his heart I want to play a game with you - it's a pity, you are a stinky chess basket, and you have to think for a long time in the face of Bing's hand, which is more urgent than looking at the war in front of you; Besides, you can all go and play chess, no matter what the battle, I can't be the main general, I have to control the rhythm of the battle at all times and assign orders.
Cao Cao understood what Shixun meant, that is, to divert attention to relieve tension, but Wang Cang didn't understand the problem, and was forced by Shixun to be anxious, so he had to spread his hands: "Is there chess in the army?" "Yes Xun pondered it, there may not be no chess in the army, the problem is that this time I came lightly, who can carry such a heavy chess board to hurry? Cao Cao has to be in a hurry with you! Look down, there's a lot of gravel on the hill - why don't we play backgammon? By the way, although Xu Du and Cao Junzhong have basically changed their paper office now, the old habits of the literati can't be changed, and they still carry knives for cutting bamboo and wood, so let's "chop the knife"......
In an instant, Shihoon remembered all the games from his childhood in his previous life.
He and Wang Cang were pulling, and suddenly heard a voice next to him: "Is Si Zhi willing to guess with a certain one?" Shi Xun turned his head and looked, it turned out to be the guide, Xu Wuling, Tian Chou Tian Zitai.
So Shi Xun let go of Wang Cang and agreed repeatedly. Dare to love that he was still thinking about playing chess, Tian Chou had already gotten off the horse and picked up a handful of stones in his hand, and at the moment he clenched his hands into fists, raised them in front of Shixun, and said: "You can also guess the victory and defeat of this bet." ”
Yes Xun said that I know this is to guess the odds and evens, but how does the odds and doubles be linked to the outcome of the battle? Tian Chou said with a smile: "The number of children in my hand, that is, I have not counted myself, if there is a yin and a yang, it is a victory." ”
There are many methods of divination in these years, and the most troublesome is probably to divide the yarrow and count it, and the simplest is to throw a basket. The so-called 筊 is a special shallow cup, the cup surface is yang, the bottom of the cup is yin, two cups are thrown, two yin is fierce, two yang means that the prayer is not clear, you must ask the gods again, if one yin and one yang, then it is called "holy 筊", is a good omen.
For numbers, it is generally believed that the singular number is yang, and the even number is yin, so the meaning of Tian Chou, if the stones in his two hands are even numbers, it proves that this battle will be lost, a single double, this battle will be won, two singular numbers...... I'll pick up some more pebbles, and let's have another game.
Shi Xun's eyes were fixed on the two fists stretched out by Tian Chou, and he wondered what to guess? Of course, I hope for a single pair, but is the number of stones really so coincidental? If you are an individual, you are looking forward to victory, and everyone is willing to be a holy reed, maybe Tian Chou subconsciously deliberately picked it up according to odd and even numbers. But when the other party opens his hands and glares twice, this gambling game will be over - the battle is not over yet, what do you need to rely on to distract yourself? So guess two odds or two doubles? If it's really two pairs, it's a big omen, how heartwarming it is? Will this shake the morale of the military?
The more I think about it, the more troublesome it becomes, where can I relieve my tension, I feel more nervous than just now!
He was stunned for a while, and finally had to sigh: "Tian Ling threw the stone away, and it should not be used to make the war auspicious." ”
At this time, Tian Chou also reacted, so he had to smile slightly bitterly, put down his fists, and threw away the stones. It's better to play chess - come, I'll teach you the simplest "tic-tac-toe".
At this moment, they suddenly heard an exclamation around them, and both Shixun and Tian Chou couldn't help but be shocked, and couldn't help but look down the mountain. From a distance, I saw that the "tiger and leopard horseman" had already wedged into the enemy formation, although I couldn't see the face clearly, but the location of Daxu should be Guo Huai, who was at the front end of the wedge. It's just that the "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" is indomitable, and the combat effectiveness of the following Xiahou Lian and Gao Ran is slightly worse, but they are firmly stumped by the Karasuma soldiers from the two wings. Seeing that these three formations were getting farther and farther apart......
Even if Xun doesn't know much about military affairs, he can see that this is a posture of being divided and surrounded by the enemy and annihilated one by one!
I heard Cao Cao snort coldly: "Zhongkang, go down the mountain to help!" Xu Yu hurriedly took care of it: "You can move, but the lord must not move!" "Where is Cao Cao talking so much nonsense, if you lose the battle, can I still escape with just one vote of civil officials? Now there is only one way to die, go quickly!
So Xu Yu agreed, whipped his horse, and led more than 100 horsemen and guards to rush down the mountain. At this time, on the entire mountain, there were more than 20 civil officials such as Xun, Wang Cang, and Tian Chou, plus Cao Cao himself, and less than 30 personal guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Shi Xun couldn't help but shudder, and couldn't help asking: "The enemy is outnumbered, and I set up troops to attack the mountain, what can I do?" ”
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled slightly: "Hongfu, are you afraid?" "It's Xun Xin who said, how can he not be afraid? But his mouth said: "Xun can also hold a bow and shoot a horse, if there is a case, please retreat quickly, Xun can stop the enemy!" ”
Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed: "If I block the enemy, then Hongfu may be able to live; Hongfu blocks the enemy, Wu'an has physiology? "With your martial arts, how many enemies can you stop?
The laughter fell, and suddenly saw the enemy formation under the mountain change, and the soldiers and horses that were originally stationed in Yibiao suddenly moved, and looked at the direction, it was towards the White Wolf Mountain. Take the lead in a flag, and write a big "Yuan" word on it!
Wang Cang couldn't help but exclaim: "Xiao Yuantu, he is also in Yuan Shangjun!" "That means, when it comes to the wisdom of the battle array, maybe those barbarians are all scum, the problem is that there is still Yuan Jun, and there is still Xiao Ji in the Yuan army, this great plan to attack the mountain and go straight to the heart must be caused by Xiao Ji's words to Yuan Shangjin!
Cao Cao couldn't help but panic a little when he saw this, the problem is that he is the main general, if the expression is shaken, the army's morale will be greatly defeated, and it will be defeated if it is undefeated. At the moment, he had to force his composure and beckoned to the guards: "Quickly cut down some wood and roll some stones." ”
But there are less than 100 people on the mountain, and half of them are literati and artists who are powerless, how many trees can be cut down in a hurry? How many rocks did you find that were larger than the mouth of the bowl? It was Xun Xin who finished speaking, and history was really rewritten...... If Cao Cao hangs here, who will the world get in the end? Cao Ang's kid is estimated to be no, will it fall into the hands of Liu Bei?!
Or will it be staged in advance?! (To be continued......)
