Chapter 27: Where the Righteousness Lies

Cancer! Xie Chengbin is terrible to see, be careful of the liver thumping! Eighteenth Route Army Alliance? The Battle of Tiger Pass? Maybe you can fish in mixed waters, and you can be a Qingzhou thorn or a miscellaneous general or something! "Ahem! Pass on my order, gather all the fine horsemen, bring more dry food, and prepare to attack Luoyang! ”

When they heard Xie Chengbin's order, everyone was collectively dumbfounded, no one responded, and the entire lobby was silent for a while! Xie Chengbin handed the secret edict to Gao Xu, Gao Xu looked at it, exclaimed, his hand trembled, and the secret edict fell! Dian Wei's hand quickly caught the secret edict in mid-air, opened it and looked at it, his eyes widened and he was instantly petrified! Zhang Fei couldn't wait to snatch the secret edict and take a look, and snorted coldly angrily! "Humph! Dong thief is so heinous and intolerable, he should send troops! ”

The next day, Xie Chengbin put on his armor and Zhang Fei led 3,000 iron horsemen out and drove west in a big boat. Talking about these three thousand iron horsemen, each war horse is equipped with a horse pedal and a horse's shoe, and the armor can only protect the head and front half of the war horse; Each knight was equipped with a two-and-a-half-meter broadsword and helmet, and the armor was a simplified version of the vest armor, not fully armed like the Western knights. It's not that Xie Chengbin doesn't want to, but the financial resources are not enough! The equipment of only 3,000 men and horses drained Xie Chengbin's treasury (the reserved military salary was not counted).

If the men and horses were replaced with fully sealed armor, the current 3,000 people would have shrunk to less than 1,000. For such a simplified version of the cavalry, Xie Chengbin didn't know whether they were light cavalry or heavy cavalry. It is said that there are 3,000 people and horses, which is the sum, excluding the horses that pull the axle and carry the flag, as well as the scouts, military doctors, gongs and trumpets, etc., the real combatants are only more than 2,000 -_-#

The three-armed big ship traveled day and night according to Xie Chengbin's instructions, and occasionally encountered other ships on the way, which worried Xie Chengbin half to death. Because the ship is full of people and horses, they are all Xie Chengbin's treasures, and there are no extra archers, once they encounter water thieves, they will want to cry without tears. After two days of worry, he finally came to the north bank of Guandu and led his men and horses straight to Suojube (now Yanjin County).

When you come to sour jujube, what you see in front of you is spectacular! I saw that there were troops everywhere in the mountains, and all kinds of different banners were distinguished, and there were so many military tents that you couldn't see the edge at a glance! Three thousand cavalry looks like a lot loosely, but standing here it looks insignificant! Just when Xie Chengbin was stunned, more than a dozen people rode horses towards Xie Chengbin's side, without any flags. got closer and closer, and it didn't take long to come to Xie Chengbin, and when he saw Xie Chengbin wearing a cloak, he hugged his fist at Xie Chengbin. "I don't know what your Excellency is called? Did you come to crusade against Dong thief? ”

"A certain Jinan Taishou Xie Cheng is here to crusade against Dong thief!" Xie Chengbin returned the salute with a fist, and couldn't help but smile slightly at the thought of fishing in troubled waters. The man on the other side was still full of stern faces, pulled the reins, and turned around on his mount. "Please come with me, your soldiers and horses will be guided to camp and set up camp."

Xie Chengbin explained that Zhang Fei was not allowed to cause trouble, and then he took ten cronies and drove straight away with the man. After running for about ten minutes, I came to a stop in front of a large tent, which was at least 50 meters long and 10 meters high, surrounded by many guards. Everyone dismounted, Xie Chengbin was entered, and all his cronies were stopped at the door.

Before Xie Chengbin entered the tent, he heard someone arguing inside, and when he walked in, he saw four people sitting on each side. Xie Chengbin was dumbfounded, wouldn't it be necessary to have the princes of the Eighteen Roads to crusade against Dong Zhuo? Why are there only eight people here, and I haven't seen Liu Bei Guan Yu, who will kill Huaxiong? Where did the others go? Is it because the road is far away and you haven't arrived yet? Before Xie Chengbin could come back to his senses, a familiar voice came. "Zibin came just in time!"

At a glance, that person was Cao Cao, but Cao Cao's face didn't seem to be very good, a little red, probably because he was too excited and suffocated. Before Xie Chengbin could speak, Cao Cao continued. "You come to comment on the theory, Dong thieves burned the palace, robbed the Son of Heaven, and the sea shook! What's more, Dong Thief's subordinates are all Ding Yuan and He Miao's old department, and the military is not aligned! We have a total of 100,000 troops, and we can take this opportunity to march into Chenggao. As long as Cheng Gao is taken, he can attack and retreat, Zibin said yes or no? ”

When Cao Cao said this, the other seven people turned their heads to look at Xie Chengbin. Xie Chengbin didn't see Guan Yu, and he didn't know if Sun Jian was among them, so he didn't want to express his opinion, so he casually found a reason to prevaricate. "Hehehe, a certain talent is shallow, and he still knows a little bit about civil governance, and he doesn't know anything about leading soldiers!"

When Xie Chengbin said this, the seven people burst into laughter, Cao Cao was short of breath, his face was red, and his lungs were about to explode. "Humph! You are all greedy for life and afraid of death! The shaft is not enough! ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he walked out of his place and walked past Xie Chengbin in a huff. Xie Chengbin knew that Cao Cao went to attack Chenggao in a fit of rage, but as a result, he fought an encounter with Xu Rong's army and was almost captured alive. What to do? Go to Cao Cao to make up for Cao Cao and make history completely change? No way! In that case, the prestige that he has built up with great difficulty will be gone, and it may be remembered for thousands of years.

Maybe history has changed, and Cao Cao will be killed by Xu Rong? So what to do? To save him? Don't be funny! If Cao Cao died, then there would be no need to revise the history by himself, wouldn't it be troublesome? But then again, after all, Cao Cao admires himself so much, let's just curse him like this? It seems a bit unreasonable. Well...... Why don't you help him? Anyway, Dian Wei was recruited by himself, without Dian Wei, Cao Cao should hang up soon.

"Brother Mengde! Please stay! Having made up his mind, Xie Chengbin hurriedly chased out. Cao Cao was followed by a few cronies, and it wasn't far before he heard Xie Chengbin's voice stop and turn around. Xie Chengbin came to Cao Cao with a worried expression. "I know that Brother Meng De is dedicated to serving the country, but Brother Meng De has very few troops, so he can't rashly attack Chenggao, otherwise he will die for life!"

"Why did Zibin know that he was going to attack Chenggao alone?" Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this, and he was so surprised that his mouth could almost stuff an egg. Xie Chengbin knew that his mouth was about to leak for a while, and he didn't know how to explain, so he was speechless for a while. Cao Cao had already come to his senses, patted Xie Chengbin's shoulder, and sighed. "Alas...... How can I not know that nine deaths and one life, now the country is difficult, the princes of the Guannai are suspicious of each other, and they dare not move, if a certain is fortunate enough to occupy Chenggao, then the princes of the Guannai will definitely go forward bravely! ”

Looking at Cao Cao who was gradually moving away, Xie Chengbin finally understood why so many people were willing to work for him, this is where the righteousness lies! It's a pity that it would be nice if his future son didn't become emperor, in that case, Xie Chengbin would definitely take refuge behind Cao Cao.

That night, Cao Cao led his subordinates to fight and kill all the way, and finally came to Xingyang County, east of Chenggao. Xingyang "the peaks stand in the south, the mountains cross its north, the east embraces the city of Beijing, and the west crosses the Tiger Prison Pass", so it has the name of "the belt of the eastern capital, the throat of the three Qins", and has always been a place for soldiers to fight. Cao Cao ordered scouts to be sent to investigate the nearby situation, and the rest seized the time to rest and prepare to attack Chenggao County tomorrow.

In a bush not far from Xingyang County, several black shadows were watching the situation in Xingyang, and then bent down again and quietly left the scene, looking like thieves. Not long after a few people walked, they met a few horses, just one person and one horse, and several people got on their horses, and their movements were very skillful, and they went straight towards the Tiger Prison Pass in the west.

"Enlighten the military division! The forward troops of the Kwantung Army attacked Xingyang with 5,000 men and horses, the banner was Cao, and Xingyang was lost! The tiger prison was closed, and a man dressed as a scout reported to a man dressed as a scribe. The scribe was originally admiring the moonscape under the Tiger Prison, but after listening to the report, he turned around slowly, and it turned out to be Jia Xu! "Well, go and call General Xu Rong."

When it was dawn, Cao Cao left a hundred people as usual, and ordered that if there was an emergency, there was no need to hold on, just run to report to Cao Cao. The rest of the men moved on. After walking for about an hour and a half, Cao Cao saw that something was wrong and motioned for the troops to stop. According to military regulations, the scouts sent out have to come back for half an hour (one hour) to report, why are there no scouts for almost an hour? Not good! Ambush!

Before Cao Cao could give the order to retreat, a herald came running from behind on horseback, saying that many enemy troops had appeared from behind. Cao Cao was secretly surprised, as expected, he was really ambushed! Ostensibly unhurriedly, he ordered a formation and charged from behind. Seeing that Cao Cao was so calm, the herald's uneasy heart was much calmer, and he turned around and went down to give the order, opening his characteristic loud voice and starting to yell. "The general has an order, array! Charge backwards! ”

Five thousand men and horses quickly assembled, and it didn't take long to form a triangular formation, with sword and shield soldiers at the front, and war drums and axles at the rear. A number of war drums 6 continued to sound, the rhythm of the war drums was slow and neat and powerful, and every time the war drums sounded, the soldiers of the Cao army took a step forward. Although not as neat as later generations, it is also extremely spectacular. On the other side, Dong Jun had no intention of advancing at all, and set up a position to prepare for defense, and the two sides gradually approached. The rhythm of the war drums became faster and faster, and the pace of Cao's soldiers gradually increased, and the distance shortened rapidly. The sound of war drums was already so fast that the rhythm was messy, and the soldiers of the Cao army shouted and killed the other party.

The Dong army's lineup was calm, and the soldiers on the long defensive line each clenched their spears in their hands and prepared to engage in battle, shooting arrows from the middle to the back of the formation, the arrows were dense like rain, drawing an arc in mid-air, and plunging into the Cao army's formation! Most of the sword and shield soldiers of the Cao army escaped the catastrophe, and the rest suffered! It doesn't matter if you are killed by an arrow, the sad thing is that some Cao soldiers were only injured by an arrow and fell, and then trampled to death by their own people!
