Chapter 117: First Sight of Cao Mengde
Cao Ying is worthy of being the future Jianxiong, even in such an embarrassing atmosphere, he can deal with it easily, only listen to him cough twice, and jokingly said to Dong Zhuo: "General Dong don't underestimate Village Chief Wen, we have been confronting Zhang Bao here for so long without progress, and the situation on General Huangfu's side at the beginning is much more serious than ours here, but it is with Mayor Wen's advice and great help that we can defeat the enemy army so quickly and exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves in Runan, and now we can still free up our hands to support us, Mayor Wen can be said to have made great contributions! After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Dong Zhuo's reaction, turned around and continued to say to Wenmin: "Mayor Wen, I have heard that your strength can be said to be the first person among outsiders, but whether it is us aborigines or you outsiders, few people know your specific location, I wonder if Mayor Wen can solve your doubts?" So that I can visit when I have time? ”
Originally, after listening to what Cao Ying said to Dong Zhuo at the beginning, Wenmin still felt that Brother Ying looked more pleasing to the eye, but now he couldn't help but scold his mother: "TMD, they are all raccoon dogs, and they are not good people!" I turned around the corner to inquire about my secrets! Is this kind of thing something to be said casually? Don't say it's you, even the soldiers brought out now only know that they are on a vast body of water, but they don't know the specific location. I wouldn't tell you anything so secret, even if I was a fool of myself! So he laughed and said: "The little territory is not enough to worry about, now I am still very simple there, I am embarrassed to take it out to show off, and when the time comes, it will be upgraded to the city, at that time, if Brother Ye is willing to appreciate his face, the little brother will definitely welcome him!" As he spoke, he patted Cao Ying's shoulder and hugged him as if he were a good brother.
Cao Ying saw Wenmin's very familiar appearance, especially when he called himself "Brother", there was an indescribable awkwardness in his psychology, and his face was even darker. Although he was very unhappy in his heart, he couldn't turn his face with him because of this, so he had to smile stiffly: "Hehe, Mayor Wen is too modest." It's just that, Mayor Wen, it's good if you call me Meng De directly, the title of 'Brother', uh, I'm not used to it. ”
Wenmin saw that Cao Ying, who could definitely enter the top three in the Three Kingdoms, would show such an embarrassing appearance, and he was very amused, it seems that Cao Ying at this time is not the troubled era of annihilation later, maybe the ideal in his heart now is to support the Han family and be a capable minister who governs the world. However, Wenmin didn't dare to offend this big guy ruthlessly, in case he hated himself, then he would have to be worried all the time. So he said to Cao Ying: "Actually, Brother So-and-so is the name of our outsiders to people who are more respectful, which is similar to your 'Brother Tai', but since you are not used to being called like that, then I will call you Brother Meng De in the future, and I hope that Brother Meng De can take care of the younger brother more in the future." ”
Hearing Wenmin's explanation, Cao Ying no longer had a mustard in his heart, it turned out to be an honorific title for himself, although he sounded a little weird, but after all, they outsiders are different from the aborigines, and some differences in titles are also understandable, thinking of this, Cao Ying also had a good impression of Wenmin in his heart, but it was only a trace.
At this time, Huangfu Song stood up and said: "Okay, you are all rising stars of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty will still need your support in the future. Then he turned to Lu Zhi and said, "Zigan (Lu Zhi's character), you arrived here first, and you are also the most familiar with the situation here, now please tell us about the situation of the Yellow Turban thieves in the city." ”
So Lu Zhi introduced: "The guard of the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side is called Zhang Bao, the second brother of the Yellow Turban leader Zhang Jiao, known as the 'Digong General', and the troops under his command are the most elite part of the entire Yellow Turban Army except for Zhang Jiao's department, with a total number of hundreds of millions!" And the strength is very strong, the lowest of them have the strength of level 7 soldiers, the main force is composed of level 8 soldiers, and the elite level 9 yellow turban wrestlers are as many as millions of people! And the total number of imperial court troops on our side is only twenty or thirty million, although those outsiders add up to more than 400 million troops, but their strength is basically only about level 6, and they are not the opponents of those Yellow Turban Army at all. ”
After listening to Lu Zhi's introduction, Wenmin thought in his heart: According to this, the strength of those Yellow Turban Army should be several times that of his side, although the gap is not as wide as in Changshe, but after all, they are attacking this time, so it is still very difficult to complete the task.
However, this time everyone thought about it for a long time and didn't think of a way, after all, the other party was strong, and it occupied the advantage of defending the city, plus the surrounding plains, the surrounding grass and trees were scarce, and the fire attack would not have much effect. As for stealing the city and the like, there is no need to think about it, even if they attack the city now, they may not be able to win, and now that everyone has taken the initiative to go out of the city, they will set up soldiers and horses outside the city to fight with you, how can they steal the city?
Just when everyone in the tent was at a loss, suddenly a soldier reported outside the tent that Zhang Bao had sent someone to fight outside. Everyone glanced at each other, and after a little discussion, they all decided to go back and order their troops and horses to go out to meet the battle, and meet the Digong general first.
When Wenmin went back and explained the situation to Guo Jia and the others, Guo Jia suggested to Wenmin: "My lord, you might as well go and tell General Huangfu that if you want to break the enemy as soon as possible, you must defeat a few battles first." ”
"Oh? Is it a fraud? Could it be that Fengxiao has already thought of a strategy to break the enemy? Wen Min asked excitedly, he believed that the difference in strength was several times under Guo Jia's ghost scheme, and it was not impossible to win.
Who knew that Guo Jia shook his head and said, "No, I can't think of any good plans for the time being." Then he explained: "It's just that I think that now the Yellow Turban Army still dares to fight with us with their strength, and we may find a flaw; However, if they fail this time, they will definitely retreat back into the city and defend it strictly after knowing the strength of the official army, in which case it will be almost impossible for us to defeat the enemy in a short time. ”
After hearing this, Wenmin suddenly realized that it made sense, so he hurriedly explained that Guo Jia and Xu Shu were responsible for reorganizing the soldiers and horses and went out to meet the battle, and immediately went back to find Huangfu Song and them.
Huangfu Song was still discussing the military situation with Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun at this time, and when he was informed by the guards that Wenmin had gone and returned, he was still very puzzled in his heart, and he immediately woke up after Wenmin came in and explained the reason to them. Lu Zhi was also impressed by Wenmin this time, and praised: "Thanks to the reminder of the little brother this time, otherwise, if we let those Yellow Turban Army turtles retreat back into the city to defend them, it will be really difficult for us to take them down for a while, and if the situation in the whole country deteriorates because we are dragged here, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
Wen Min continued: "And those Yellow Turban thieves are basically illiterate and short-sighted, if we can defeat a few more times, then they will definitely be careless, relax their vigilance, and when they show their flaws, they will seize their flaws and launch a surprise attack, maybe it will have miraculous results." ”
After Huangfu Song and the others heard this, they stroked their palms and laughed and said, "Wonderful! Those gold thieves are all rabble, where can they not get carried away after successive victories? Even if any of them can stay calm, there is nothing to worry about! (To be continued.) )
