—180 A.D.——

On the official road from Chang'an to Fufeng, there are hundreds of troops on foot, on horseback, or in cars going west.

If people who don't know what is going on will probably think that this is a group of soldiers who are changing guards, and the time limit is still very relaxed.

However, they were the knights of Hedong and Henan who were about to rush to Fufeng's rescue, not to mention the emergency documents sent by Fufeng, and even the latest emergency military information such as "General Dangkou led the army to advance and lost nearly 10,000 men and horses" did not make them speed up their pace.

There is no other reason, it is really that Zhang Wen, the general of Zhenxi, did not allow them to speed up, and also brought out Sun Tzu's Art of War, "A hundred miles and the interesting one will be the general, and fifty miles and the interesting one will be half the army" to prove his point of view.

Regarding this obviously random order and nonsense arguments, Huang Fu Song, the general of Zhengxi, had no opinion, and ordered his generals to "obey orders".

"Could it be that Huangfu Song is a straw bale?" In a certain chariot battle in a cavalry team, Yuan Shao, who had changed into a light yellow light helmet and light armor, was looking out of the window.

Are you qualified to say someone else's straw bale? Cao Cao, who was dressed in blue and black armor, sighed and pulled him back: "Be careful that the wall has ears. ”

"Where are the ears?!" Dian Wei on the side directly opened the car door and jumped in.

Fortunately, the Xiahou brothers are not in this car, otherwise it would have been more lively...... Cao Cao pinched his forehead and looked at Xun Chen, who was still calm and breezy no matter what trouble was going on here: "Youruo, what do you think?" ”

Xun Chen's character Youruo, the eldest son of Xun Sui, the second dragon in Xun's Eight Dragons, has a strong physique, and rarely has a virtuous name, this time he went to Xiliang with Cao Cao, in the name of going out to study, if he has anything to do with Cao Cao, he will stop at "fellow travelers" - in this kind of thing, Xun's face will not give people a handle.

Xun Chen himself seems to be very disgusted with unnecessary luxury, but also more caring for the people, Cao Cao visited that day, he reprimanded Cao Cao's clothes and the gifts he carried, and then prepared to issue an eviction order, which annoyed Yuan Shao, who was more straight, he clicked and removed the gift packaging that Cao Cao carried to reveal the native products of Dunqiu, and ripped off Cao Cao's collar to let him see the underwear that was not very good, and finally reprimanded him in a dialect that he learned somewhere.

In the end, Xun Chen apologized and said that he still had a lot to learn and was willing to go to the northwest with Cao Cao.

About this ...... Can Cao Cao say that if he visits the Xun clan, it will definitely not be such a shabby gift, and the underwear is a test piece sewn by the wife and concubine of the family who are not good at female work?

Now that you think about it, the timing and words of the young man holding the little girl are simply appropriate.

In short, Cao Cao had already decided to keep it simple when Xun Chen was with him, the Xiahou brothers were not familiar with him, Cai Wan was not there, and Dian Wei almost couldn't notice this kind of detail that was slightly different from usual.

"Why did Meng De ask knowingly?" Xun Chen said with a smile: "You ordered the Xiahou brothers to make the equipment old, and everyone must not show a well-trained appearance, just because you knew that these two generals were not in harmony." ”

Although it was information from the "stand-in", it was misunderstood that the Cao family was powerful, which cannot be said to be a bad thing...... Cao Cao paused for a moment and sighed: "I just didn't expect that they would seriously abandon national affairs." ”

"Huh? What does it mean, what does it mean? Yuan Shao was confused when he heard this, and asked again and again.

"Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun are known as the three famous generals of this dynasty, how can they not see the behavior of ill-informed villains like Zhang Wen pulling their hind legs?" Xun Chen seemed to have great patience with Yuan Shao, and explained in detail: "If he shows nothing about this, it can only prove that he has already arranged it in secret." ”

"Oh......" Yuan Shao still looked very confused.

"Everyone knows that although the 'Dangkou General' Zhou Shen is named Shen, he is not cautious and thinks very highly of himself and is irritable, although he is a good attacker and assault, but he is not suitable for reinforcement and defending the city," Cao Cao saw Xun Chen looking at him, so he also answered: "When Zhang Wen insisted on sending this person to lead the vanguard, Huangfu Song had already arranged follow-up support, and the so-called military report of defeat and loss of 10,000 horses should only be a part......

"Report—" "Hey! You just give it to me, the lord is discussing important matters, and no 'ears' are allowed to approach. The voice of the herald and Dian Wei came from outside the chariot, and it seemed that new information had been snatched by Dian Wei.

After a while, the bald Dian Wei lifted the curtain and walked into the car, handed a military report to Cao Cao, and then said: "Look at that kid seems to be very happy, it should be good news." ”

"If it's so easy to guess, most of the generals will switch to unsmiling heralds," Cao Cao said with a smile, removing the mud and opening the military newspaper: "Well, it's really good news." ”

The first half of the military newspaper copied the follow-up supplement of the information of the Fufeng County Guard on "Zhou Shen's defeat and return", saying that although Zhou Shen was defeated by an ambush, but thanks to the private soldiers of the famous ranger Dong Zhuo went to the rescue, Zhou Shen only lost less than half of his men, but because he was stationed in Duyang to rest and never returned, so he did not explain in the last battle report, and at the same time, because the two troops went out, the main rebel army took the opportunity to attack the city, but was successfully repelled by Dong Zhuo, who was waiting for him.

In the second half, Zhang Wen gave Cao Cao a military order, ordering him to "go around the southern path, rush to Fufeng under the stars, and occupy Chencang." ”

"Chen Cang?" Cao Cao seemed to have some impressions, but he didn't know it very clearly, and after taking the map and examining it carefully, he and Xun Chen gasped at the same time.

If the main force of the rebels near Fufeng is defeated, in addition to continuing to flee westward, you can also choose to go south to avoid temporarily, but if Chencang is occupied by the official army, the group of people who choose to go south will be directly blocked in the middle of the road, and under the front and rear attacks, there will be no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground.

"This General Zhang, who is about to have kindness and enmity with Meng De, will arrange it like this," Xun Chen shook his head again and again: "Such a dangerous place, if you can hold it, it will be a great achievement, and if you can't hold it, the whole army will be annihilated." ”

"Oh, it's true that although he was appreciated by the Ten Permanent Servants to reach his current power, it was my grandfather who initially promoted him to the position of 'likely to be appreciated'." Cao Cao didn't seem to be worried about this: "Therefore, we not only want to win, but also win beautifully, and there are not many opportunities to slap two 'Ten Standing Attendants' in the face at the same time." ”

"But it's a mountain defense?" Yuan Shao, who came over to look at the map, scratched his head: "We're bringing 'assault cavalry', right?" ”

“……”

There was a moment of silence in the carriage.

"Hey, I guess you must not have imagined that Dong Zhuo had a man named Lu Bu under his command, who trained a group of heavy infantry called the 'Trapped Camp', rescued Zhou Shen and also broke more than 10,000 rebels, and with his own strength, he relieved the siege of Fufeng without injury-" At this time, the "stand-in" who was sent by Cao Cao to investigate the details of "Zhou Shen's defeat" rushed back, shouting loudly because others couldn't hear it, and didn't stop until he felt the strange atmosphere after passing through the carriage: "Oh? What did you tell the truth again? Isn't it time for me to come back? ”

Can't be more timely, Cao Cao compared a praising gesture to the "stand-in", this is called "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice", no matter how shrewd Xun Chen is, he can't analyze the countermeasures without corresponding intelligence, and it is much easier for him to push back after learning the answer.

"Ahem," Cao Cao cleared his throat to attract the attention of the people in the car, and then said: "It doesn't matter what the battle situation is, but this Wen Ke is a person who doesn't leave a handle on things, and all his actions that are holding back at present have a high-sounding explanation, if this order will wipe out our entire army, his guilt will be unavoidable, so ......"

"Exactly!" Xun Chen got the hint, and his thoughts seemed to be suddenly opened: "It must be that General Huangfu Song has a relevant order to pass out, although Zhang Wen can't understand it, but with the idea of scoring merit and pushing it if there is one, he will let Meng De you also rush to Chencang, that is, we will go with a friendly army of almost the same size, so we don't have to worry about not being able to defend!" ”

"It's worthy of Mengde/Lord!" Yuan Shao and Dian Wei said in unison.

"Poofha!" "Stand-in" laughed.

Well, would you believe me if I said I didn't actually think of that? Facing the admiring gaze of Xun Chen, Yuan Shao and Dian Wei, Cao Cao could only make a confident appearance of "everything is under control", and let him laugh if he laughed.

————

It's night.

For a large army, as long as the enemy scouts can be driven away in time, it is difficult to reveal relevant information, but for friendly troops with heralds running around inside, it is not difficult to know the movements of other troops when there is a specific target.

Cao Cao soon learned that a 10,000-strong army of volunteers recruited from Hedong and mixed with volunteers who had volunteered spontaneously would make a detour from the south and rush to Fufeng to "make up for Zhou Shen's losses."

Of course, Cao Cao was well aware that this group had gone together to occupy Chencang and cut off the rebels' rear route, and when he looked through their details in his private tent, he had completely regarded them as his own.

"The clan relatives of the Han family, after King Jing of Zhongshan, studied under Lu Zhimen and made outstanding contributions during the plague in Sili...... If it weren't for his actions in the army, I would almost have thought that he was going for that position," Cao Cao sighed: "It's a pity that once he interferes in military affairs, those who control the emperor's selection will never take him into consideration." ”

"There is also Gongsun Zan from the Gongsun family in Youzhou, after this meritorious service, he must be named a county lieutenant, if this Liu Bei wants to seek the position of the lord of the country, the start can be said to be quite good." "Stand-in" agrees.

"As for the last one, the fierce general he just recruited from Xie County," Cao Cao's gaze lingered on the entry of "Guan Yu" in the intelligence: "Although there are already too many generals around us......"

"But there are too few normal," the "stand-in" responded, "If it were me, I would be willing to take Yuan...... Uh, take the yuan and let him change! ”

I thank you for Ben Chu!
