Chapter 36: The Elite of the Elite
Hao Jian has thought it through, even if she lets Xiaolian leave at this time, she has no ability to protect herself in this troubled world, and I am afraid that it will not be long before she ends up in a tragic end.
Although he can't protect her for the rest of his life, at least during this time, he can keep her safe.
Yu Xiaolian lay on Hao Jian's chest and sobbed for a long time, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered in the first half of her life, Hao Jian didn't say anything, just silently hugged her, which was the best comfort.
Gradually, Yu Xiaolian finished venting, wiped away her tears, and stared directly at Hao Jian's eyes.
Hao Jian smiled uncomfortably: "Xiaolian, what are you staring at me all the time?" ”
"What a good man you are, sir." As soon as Yu Xiaolian said this, she almost burst into tears again, the sentence that women are made of water is really not wrong at all.
Hao Jian smiled and shook his head: "Good person is a very one-sided word, in your opinion I am a good person, but in Yuan Shao's opinion, I may be a heinous demon." ”
Xiaolian said stubbornly: "I don't care what others think, in Xiaolian's opinion, you are a good person." ”
"Well, if you say I'm a good person, I'm a good person."
Hao Jian couldn't cry or laugh, was he given a "good guy card" by Xiaolian like this?
Unconsciously, it was the second half of the night, Hao Jian was also tired, and he fell asleep after closing his eyes for a while, and when he fell asleep, he was still holding Xiaolian's soft and delicate body in his arms.
People are unconscious when they are sleeping, Hao Jian's hand slowly slipped off Xiaolian's body, but Xiaolian gently picked it up and put it back on his body.
She looked at the sleeping Hao Jian, couldn't help but smile, and gradually fell asleep.
When she fell asleep, the corners of Xiaolian's mouth were still slightly raised, and it was foreseeable that her dreams would be sweet tonight.
It was strange that he slept with a beautiful woman in his arms, and slept exceptionally comfortably and peacefully that night, and did not wake up until near noon, just like when he used to stay up late at school and play games.
Maybe it's because I'm too tired from crying, maybe it's because I'm sleeping too late, Xiaolian is still asleep, and the quiet beauty makes Hao Jian can't help but look at it a few more times, even if she just looks at it quietly, it's a kind of enjoyment.
After a while, Hao Jian carefully pulled out his arm, and then lifted the corner of the quilt and got out of bed, so as not to disturb Xiaolian's dream.
walked out of the tent and reported directly to Cao Cao's big tent.
There are more than half of the people in the tent than yesterday, and these people who are less must still be sleeping in their respective residences, but all of this is Cao Cao's acquiescence, and last night he drank like that, and then let the family gather in the dark, isn't it difficult for the strongman?
Seeing Hao Jian come in, Cao Cao smiled meaningfully: "Ziang, did you sleep well last night?" ”
Hao Jian smiled lightly: "The blessing of the lord, last night was the best day I slept on." ”
When ancient people encountered any good things, when they were asked by their superiors, they would humbly say that they were dragging the blessing of the leader, but this time they did drag Cao Cao's blessing, if Cao Cao did not arrange for Xiaolian to come over, this night's sleep may not be so good.
Cao Cao laughed and said, "That's good, that's good!" ”
There was nothing specific to discuss, and everyone dispersed early.
Cao Cao took Hao Jian and Guo Jia to hang out in Guandu, and when there were not many people, Cao Cao sighed and said: "Fengxiao, Ziang, even if Yuan Shao folds Yan Liangwen and Chou's two generals, but there are still hundreds of thousands of troops, this battle is still difficult to fight!" ”
In front of ordinary subordinates, Cao Cao is always full of confidence in this war, he is actually under tremendous pressure, and only when he is in front of his henchmen will he reveal his sincerity.
Obviously, Guo Jia and Hao Jian are regarded by him as henchmen, and they are like right-hand men.
Guo Jia just wanted to speak, but suddenly coughed violently, Hao Jian shook his head secretly, sure enough, just like the plot, Guo Jia's life is probably less than ten years.
Guo Jia, who stopped coughing, turned pale and said: "Yan Liangwen is of great significance to Yuan Shao's army than the two of them themselves, as soon as the two die, Yuan Shao's subordinates will think that Yuan Shao and the lord's first battle was so tragic, no matter how Yuan Shao appeases him next, this will always be remembered by the soldiers." ”
Cao Cao nodded, his eyes motioned for Guo Jia to continue, Guo Jia comprehended, and continued: "This is the first, the second, Guandu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if Yuan Shao's 700,000 troops can only play less than half, plus Yuan Junjun's heart is shaken, the lord will undoubtedly win!" ”
Hao Jian agreed very much, although Cao Cao had a long-term plan and his subordinates were capable, if it was simply 70,000 against 700,000, the probability of defeat would be greatly increased.
In the face of absolute power, resourcefulness still seems a little weak, fortunately God gave Cao Cao Guandu, this kind of easy to defend and difficult to attack place is usually called the place where soldiers must fight, which shows its importance.
After Guo Jia finished speaking, Cao Cao felt a lot more comfortable, and then asked Hao Jiandao: "Ziang, what advice do you have?" ”
Hao Jian opened his mouth and said: "My lord, my suggestion is that Yuan Shao has learned the lesson of the last time, and he will definitely be more cautious when he leads the army next time, he is very likely to fight a war of attrition, instead of attacking Guandu head-on, we need to transport grain and grass from all over the country to Guandu in advance to prepare." ”
"Ziang, you don't know." Cao Cao lowered his voice and said: "For this battle with Yuan Shao, I have transported most of the surplus grain from the whole country, and there is no surplus grain left. ”
Hao Jian reminded: "My lord, the place where grain is stored must be kept secret!" ”
"This is natural, the land of reserves is guarded by my cronies day and night, and nothing will happen." Cao Cao was very confident in packing tickets.
In this way, Hao Jian was relieved, Cao Cao's granary in the battle of Guandu did not have an accident, but Yuan Shao's black nest where the grain was stored was attacked by Cao Cao, and a fire burned down, and it was this incident that completely established Yuan Shao's defeat.
His two suggestions didn't seem to help Cao Cao at all, Hao Jian thought for a while and said: "The lord should have more elite troops than the tiger and leopard cavalry, but the world doesn't know it." ”
Cao Cao looked at Hao Jian in surprise, he did have an army that was more elite than the tiger and leopard cavalry, but this matter was top secret, how did Hao Jian know about it.
In fact, Hao Jian just guessed that with Cao Cao's cunning personality, he should not put all his strength on the surface, and a qualified gambler will always keep a hole card.
Cao Cao nodded and said, "There is such a force, the number is only three hundred, and they are all elites selected from the tiger and leopard cavalry. ”
Haw Par Rider is already the elite of the elite, then these people are simply the elite of the elite.
Hao Jian said directly: "If the lord is at ease, he will hand over these people to me to train and command, and they will definitely play a miraculous effect on the battlefield!" ”
