Chapter 320: Cao Cao's Imperial Technique
According to Chen Gong's estimates, at their current speed, they should be able to reach Jinan County within two days. The soldiers are also pulse masters, and although their cultivation is low, it is not a problem to run for a day.
Xu Rong selected three thousand elites from among the soldiers and merged with Shi Xin and other generals to intercept Cao's upcoming pursuers. In addition, Shi Xin assigned Gao Shun to lead the trap camp to ride on a fast horse and escort Lu Bu Diao Chan to take the first step.
Although Chen Gong and Gao Shun didn't say anything, they were grateful, and their relationship with Shi Xin took a step further.
At this time, Xun Yu walked out and persuaded in a low voice: "Lord, since you believe in Shi Xin's ability so much, why did you only send seven thousand soldiers out Yang Dezu is still young, and he can't suppress Guo Yan, and Guo Yan is ......"
Yang Xiu bowed his hand and walked out of the military tent with Guo Yan.
"Order!"
"Okay, General Guo is strong! The military order is here! If General Guo returns victorious, he will be awarded the position of Metropolitan Governor!" Cao asked Guo Yan to write a military order, and then ordered, "Yang Dezu, you accompany General Guo Yan to the battle and discuss matters with the staff." I'm here waiting for good news!"
"Yes, I would like to make a military order!" In order to compete for a moment, Guo Yan has already let go.
"Seven thousand soldiers" Cao lifted the corners of his mouth, and he didn't believe it.
Guo Yan laughed heartily, "What level are they? My lord, I only need 7,000 soldiers and horses to kill him without leaving a single piece of armor. ”
Xiahou Yuan's face immediately turned the color of pig liver, and he said loudly: "What are you talking about? At this time and that time, now Shi Xin and they have gathered 3,000 soldiers and horses, and their level must be at least 10,000 soldiers and horses to deal with it. ”
Guo Yan laughed with a look of disdain, "At the beginning, General Xiahou boasted about Haikou and said that a thousand soldiers were enough, but now he wants 10,000 soldiers, it's really a thousand miles away!"
The generals were furious, among which Xiahou Yuan felt even more faceless, and bowed his hand: "Lord, please allocate me 10,000 soldiers and horses, let me hunt down Shi Xin, if it doesn't work, come and see me!"
"It's really overkill, but since there is no one available in the main account, Guo Yan has no choice but to work hard and take on this task. ”
Cao stroked his beard and smiled, "General Guo just came to Zhongmu from Changshe, the carriage and horses are tired, and he is the vanguard preparing to attack Yuzhou, such a trivial matter, I am afraid that it will be overused."
Halfway through the journey, Guo Yan was called back by a summons, saying that Cao had decided to kill Shi Xin first and then attack Yuzhou, and would do nothing before that.
Cao Zhen named Guo Yan as a pioneer and asked him to lead the original 15,000 Liangzhou soldiers to start from Changshe and go to Yuzhou. All the generals persuaded him, but Cao just smiled and didn't answer.
Cao Yuan's generals were all angry, and someone reported Guo Yan's arrogance to Cao, he only laughed, "As the commander of the first army, don't you even have this amount of tolerance, General Guo Yan's contribution to this army is indeed very great, and this pioneer is fully qualified." ”
In this attack on Yuzhou, Guo Yan said even more proudly: At first, Cao Mengde only had more than 80,000 soldiers, and if it weren't for my new 20,000 soldiers, how could he dare to make up his mind to attack Yuzhou at once, and I should be the vanguard and capture Yuzhou.
Since Guo Yan led nearly 20,000 people to surrender to Cao, he became the greatest hero in Cao's camp. Relying on this credit, he became arrogant, and when he met people, he said: If it weren't for me, how could Cao Mengde expand the army to 100,000 people at once
Cao was about to speak, when a figure suddenly came out of the queue and said proudly: "Lord, Guo Yan is willing to lead the troops to chase and kill Shi Xin, and he will not be able to return!"
Seeing Cao's eyes flickering, the generals under the tent knew that Cao was about to be a general, and they all straightened their waists, hoping that Cao would point to themselves. Although Cao Ren and the others were defeated and retreated, in their hearts they only thought that they were not well prepared, and they did not bring enough soldiers and horses to fall for Shi Xin's surprise attack. This time, he brought all the soldiers and horses, fought steadily, and took Shi Xin without a problem. Since Cao attaches so much importance to this matter, he will take a lot of credit if he succeeds, and no one wants to lose this opportunity to make contributions.
Thinking of this, Cao was even more determined in his thoughts.
"Shi Xin, Shi Xin, you are really not simple, this has slipped away for you. This proves that I was right to give up attacking Yuan Shu, and the top priority is to kill you in Yanzhou, and you can't let the tiger return to the mountain. ”
Cao became a little annoyed.
"Our combination of generals is not as good as others, and the tactical arrangement is even more inappropriate, and we have committed the taboo of "arrogant soldiers will be defeated". In fact, there is no need to rush and kill at all, just use light cavalry to live at a distance from each other, they will chase when they retreat, they will run when they enter, they dare to use generals to charge into battle, and Xiahou can kill a few people first. As long as they fight steadily, there is no reason to be invincible, but I hate that there was no strategist for them at that time. ”
"Shi Xin, Zhao Yun, and Gao Shun have both offense and defense, two of the three are dual-vein vein masters, Shi Xin is the destiny of the Son of Heaven, and with Chen Gong and Cai Yan two control vein masters, this combination is not perfect, and there is also a trap camp to help. ”
Thinking of this, Cao Po felt comforted.
"Yang Xiuxin joined our camp, he came out of the Holy Sect, he is smart and agile, I have to guard against it. But he finally got past the first hurdle. ”
Cao's little eyes narrowed, and no one knew that he cast his eyes on Yang Xiu who was not far away.
Cao conceitedly denied Shi Xin, and continued to think: I began to announce that I was ambushed in Zhongmu because I was afraid that someone would report the news, and now it seems that there is no problem with the loyalty of the generals under my command, especially Yang Xiu......
There is an ambush in Guandu...... No, he couldn't have guessed that there was an ambush, he was afraid that I would have an ambush there, it must be so.
Cao stroked his forehead with his hand and thought to himself: Shi Xin's best way forward is Guandu, but he didn't take Guandu and Zhongmu for only one reason: he guessed me
Xiahou Yuan came out and told the story one by one.
Brother for many years, how could Cao not understand the reason, and snorted coldly, "Why don't you die of pain, hurry down and let the doctor deal with the wound, Yuan Rang, Xu Chu Dianwei, you can go down too." seconds before you speak. ”
Cao Ren's face was full of shame, he knelt on the ground and was about to speak, there was a hot pain in his back, but he was determined, gritted his teeth, and his face turned white without anger.
"Wen Ruo, it's still your pill good, thank you!" Cao has always had no arrogance, let alone a big tantrum with generals other than the Cao family's own brothers, and has always been pleasant. But when he thanked Xun Yu and turned his face to face Cao Ren, he made a big change in the eighteen bends of the mountain road, "Say, why don't you say it?"
Cao took the pill, and after a while, he slowly sighed, and his face softened.
Xun Yu stepped forward with a worried face and presented the Xun family's special pills.
"Lord, take care!"
Cao said, his temper came up again. Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his head, almost making him cry out in pain. He had to hold his hand down on the sore spot, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled out.
Forcibly suppressing his anger, Cao said with a calm face: "Zixiao, you have always been steady, how come you have been conspired by Shi Xin and others to lose as much as seventy tigers and leopards, this is the most elite unit of our Cao battalion!
Cao's head began to hurt a little, and his internal breath was even more unstable. He wanted to be angry at the few generals in front of him, but when he got angry, he triggered the yang energy in his body that had not been attacked for a long time, and he couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
Zhongmu, Cao Jun's camp.
Shi Xin persuaded him with good words, he had already given Ge Xuan's elixir to Lu Bu to take, but Ge Xuan's prediction was correct, it did not help to restore his strength, but the internal injuries were so good that it was not difficult for him to travel long distances.
Lu Bu sighed when he left: The hero is in trouble, if it was in the past, how would Cao have put it in his eyes, and he could take his head among the millions of troops, but now he is on the run.
Cao smiled profoundly, "Wen Ruo, do you remember the test I said before? Yang Dezu has already passed." This is another test, to see where his Yang Dezu's ability goes, I also want to see if he is a roundworm in my stomach. As for Guo Yan, hehe......"
Xun Yu is one of Cao's most important military advisors, and the only one who can compare with him is the "ghost talent" Guo Jia. He can be literate and martial, and he is absolutely "Wang Zuozhicai", so Cao trusts him 100% and has a lot of things in his heart to share with him.
To others, Cao said it very vaguely, and most of them didn't know what to do, but Xun Yu smiled and said: "The lord is clever, everything is under your control!" With that, he stepped back.
