The black horse took two steps back, Xu Chu shook his body twice on the horse's back, he was a bareback horse under his crotch, he couldn't hold it in the end, and the man carried the deformed knife and planted it from the horse's back.

Xiahoudun was even more miserable, his one-eyed burst out, a stream of blood gushed from the corner of his mouth, and the mount was overwhelmed and jumped suddenly, knocking him off the horse.

It's just that this person is ruthless, the internal injuries are very serious, and the external injuries are not light, he actually grinned and praised: "You guy, your bravery is really comparable to Dian Wei, okay, Xiahou will obey you!" ”

Lin Keti slipped the knife, one arm was pulled by Cao Cao, who was almost not scared to death, and he was still muttering in his mouth: ", the third knife hasn't come down yet, why did you fall." ”

Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I have seen your bravery, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" ”

Cheng Yu and the other strategists were dumbfounded, they hadn't seen a fierce man, but they had never seen such a fierce person, they had never seen it.

There are so many of us watching from the side, the boss is still on the side, you dare to kill the boss's little brother?

I'm afraid that this product has a strategy, but he can't be a strategist, which strategist would be so blind?

Lao Cao also thought the same thing in his heart, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided not to pull this muddy ball into the strategist pile. On the one hand, his think tank is very large, and he is not inferior to Link, but on the other hand, he is afraid.

In case one day whoever provokes this muddy ball into an emergency, with the force value of his almost chopping Xia Houdun to death, who in his own strategist group can stop him? Could it be that one day your own think tank will be wiped out by this muddy ball?!

Forget it, forget it, throw the generals in the pile, the position is higher, the treatment is richer, the generals are rough and thick-skinned, and they can still withstand his ravage!

"However, it's still a pity, when Jingzhou was just pacified, it was possible to predict that our army would be defeated, if you can put it in peace among the strategists, you can't say it, it is very likely to cultivate another Guo Fengxiao." Cao Cao had regrets in his heart.

In the awkward atmosphere, Cao Cao once again proposed the idea of inviting Link to return to Xudu together, and Link resigned twice, and then agreed.

So, the army marched all the way north, and during this period, there was no more moth.

……

In the fourteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao wrote that Lin Ke was the general of Jianwu (four products), the marquis of Yu Ting, and the son of heaven Xu Zhi.

……

In the fourteenth year of Jian'an, in the middle of winter, in 209 AD, Hefei.

Zhang Liao, the general of the Dangkou, was walking around in the military academy field, and it was snowing heavily at this time, and Zhang Liao, who was dressed in armor, left a large muddy footprint on the ground.

In the school field, the generals and schools gathered, most of them were nervously preparing for the upcoming battle at the head of the city, and those who could walk back and forth in the school field, in addition to the officers and soldiers who were on normal rotation, there were only two deputy generals, Kou General Le Jin, and Li Dian, the general of the prisoner.

Lejin is brave and heroic, Li Dian is an elder, and in terms of talent and character, he is not under the main general Zhang Liao, but Zhang Liao is simply an outlier among the generals in Cao Ying. He was originally a general under Lu Bu, and after Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu in Xuzhou, Zhang Liao served under Cao Cao's account, so to speak, in terms of prestige and qualifications, he was not as good as most of the generals in Cao's camp.

But he has the ability, and he is still a guy who is both civil and military, which has to be liked by his wife Cao.

A few days ago, after Cao Cao experienced the battle of Chibi, he led the army south to seek revenge on Sun Quan, and the two armies held each other in the Hefei area, but Sun Quan was not a vegetarian, Cao Cao's southern expedition can be described as a futile.

What's more, Cao Cao went south twice, and some people in the old nest were restless, and Lao Cao's backyard caught fire and had to lead the army back to Xudu.

Before returning to the north, Lao Cao made some personnel arrangements, with General Yang Wei, Zang Ba and Xiahou Dun as generals to garrison the nest to prevent Zhou Yu from advancing north. With the general Zhang Liao as the general, the Jianwu general Lin Ke, the general Le Jin of the Dang Chong Dangkou, and the general Li Dian as the deputy generals, they annexed 7,000 towns to guard Hefei and guard against Liu Bei in Jingzhou and Sun Quan in Jiangdong.

From this, in fact, it can also be seen that Cao Cao is actually not very at ease with the arrangement of Hefei, think about it, Zhang Liao, who is both civil and military, is not counted, and there must be three other generals to deputy, and Juchao left Zang Ba and Xiahou Dun.

In fact, this is not Cao Cao's heart, in terms of strategic position, of course, Hefei is better, leaving four generals, it is also a helpless move.

Zhang Liao was irritable in his heart, and the cold weather couldn't make him calm down.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Zhang Liao shouted: "Isn't there any news that the sentry horse has been sent back?" ”

Someone behind him smiled and said: "Don't worry about Wen Yuan, Lin Jianwu is both civil and military, he is a fierce general in the world, and the three thousand subordinates he led are all strong and brave men selected by Wen Yuan for him, although Sun Yu in Jiangdong has more than 10,000 horses, if you want Lin Jianwu to suffer a big loss, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it." ”

"Wen Qian, Man Cheng?" Zhang Liao heard the familiar voice, and hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see that it was Le Jin and Li Dian coming together, and hurriedly patted his forehead, and said repeatedly, "Look at me, look at me, I'm in a hurry." By the way, you two are not patrolling the city, in case you are taken advantage of by Sun Quan, won't you have the trust of the prime minister? The big war is coming, don't dare to take it lightly. ”

Le Jin said with a smile: "Wen Yuan, the main general, can really be described as hard work - rest assured, Hefei Defense, everything is in order, Man Cheng and I heard that Wen Yuan has been walking in the snow in the school yard for most of the day, don't worry, just come down and take a look." ”

Li Dian, who was old and serious, also said: "Yes, Wenyuan, as the chief general of Hefei, is responsible for the safety of a city, in case you fall ill from the cold, it will be a negative trust of the prime minister." ”

Zhang Liao rubbed his white finger joints and smiled bitterly: "No way, although we can rest assured of Lin Jianwu's ability, but after all, this is the first time he has led the troops, and the opponent is the scheming Sun Yu, so I have to worry about it." You must know that when the prime minister returned to the north, he specially told us to help Lin Jianwu with our hearts, what if it ......"

At the mention of this, Le Jin and Li Dian were silent.

After a while, Le Jin said: "Wenyuan's worries are still reasonable, and Lin Jianwu's opponent this time is only afraid that it is not only Sun Yu. Sun Yu is the person who followed Sun Quan to the north, under Sun Quan's account, there are countless military generals, with as many as 100,000 troops, and the power of the victory of Chibi, in the final analysis, Lin Jianwu only has 3,000 men and horses in his hands. ”

The three of them were relatively speechless for a while, but they didn't know about it, and Lin Jianwu, who was in their mouths, was satisfied with 3,000 men and horses escorting hundreds of truckloads of heavy supplies, braving the wind and snow from the south of Hefei to Hefei.

Lin Ke, a feudal general, a serious four-rank general of the Han Dynasty, although he is a miscellaneous product, he is also of a very high rank. Moreover, he also made a marquis, Marquis Yuting, that is the Marquis of the Han Dynasty, and the title of Marquis of Shouting is the same level as that of Duke Guan.

In this era, officials at the same level call each other, either as a character or as an official position, and Lin Ke gave himself a word called Wengong, but he and Zhang Liao are not very familiar with each other, and of course people can't be very close to him, so they have to call him General Jianwu.

This time, he cooperated with Zhang Liao to defend Hefei, and it is said that as long as he is prepared not to let Sun Quan take this strategic place.

But Link was not convinced, he knew that with his own merits, the marquis would already be worthy of him, but he was not satisfied, just General Jianwu, he didn't feel that this was enough, he needed to continue to climb up, the higher the position, the easier it was to get the good things necessary for his body forging to advance.

Moreover, there is a secret in Link's heart that cannot be said, as a descendant, of course he knows that the Wuhu Chaohua after the Three Kingdoms is coming, and he wants to prevent that catastrophe.

If you want to stop that catastrophe, you have to replace the Sima family to preside over the Central Plains at the end of the Three Kingdoms, and to do that, if you don't have a high enough official position, how can it be done.
