Chapter 73: Don't Wait, Crusade!

In Jiangling City, Cao Cao received a letter from Le Jin, and he had another headache.

The matter between the Northern Army and the Jingzhou Army has not been resolved, and Le Jin actually quarreled with Zhao Yan again.

In all fairness, Cao Cao is still very supportive of Zhao Yan, and this war has been prepared for so long, so it is natural to be cautious when the arrow is ready.

"Even if the entire army of Yunshan is wiped out, it is not appropriate to rush into troops." Cao Cao muttered, "However, you still have to give Wen Qian a little face, Gongren, you write a letter for Gu to reprimand Boran, he naturally knows what to do." ”

Dong Zhao slowly bowed his head, and Cao Cao set his eyes on Chen Qun's face beside him again.

"Changwen, Yunshan was driven by you before, how do you think this person is better than Guan Ping?"

"Huh? Ahhhh......h

He lied and said that he commanded Yunshan to counterattack Guan Ping that night, just to make less trouble for himself, but he didn't expect that a lie would require more lies to be rounded, and he could only pretend to be quite familiar with Yunshan:

"Yunshan is young, quite brave, and has a bit of a way to fight in water warfare, but his heart is a little less experienced, and he is not good at arching horses and strategies, so he is embarrassed and useful."

Chen Qun is well versed in speaking skills in front of Cao Cao.

He first said how much of Yunshan's ability, and said that he was useless, so that he could show that he was good at scheduling, could place useful people in suitable places, and could also appear that he was selfless and did not try to praise his former subordinates.

Le Jin said that Yunshan was conceited and brave to attack Xiakou, and now that he has been beheaded by the Sun Liu coalition army, the small problems before his death will naturally not be exposed, and there is no need to waste spit to praise this person.

As Chen Qun guessed, Cao Cao listened to it again and again, and said with a smile:

"Or is it a long text with a discerning eye, if it is someone else, how can you find such a person from the person who escorts the grain and grass? Well, yes, befriending this person with those grains is enough to show off the long story.

Hey, Lone has been thirsty for talent all these years, and I just hope that the princes can find some heroes from the grass. The princes must be willing to put down their bodies like a long text, so that they can share the worries of the court. ”

All the staff bowed down one after another, claiming to be taught, and Chen Qun was even more proud in his heart.

That Yunshan has good skills, but he is too reckless, although Cao Cao has been a ranger for a few years, he also looks down on this kind of person in his heart.

He was rewarded by Cao Cao, and all he paid was some military rations. In the future, he can further discover "talents" in the name of Cao Cao's teachings, and lead the "recklessness" who is friendly with him into the court little by little.

Hey, Yunshan is really a nobleman.

Chen Lin saw Chen Qun's proud appearance, and the boss in his heart was unhappy.

He was the chief secretary of the general He Jin many years ago, and later because of well-known reasons and his background in Xuzhou, he could only be a staff member under Cao Cao's account at most, and he would not have much authority.

Seeing Chen Qunchun's proud appearance, he felt unhappy in his heart, and said casually:

"Why didn't Changwen leave this young hero and introduce him to the prime minister."

Chen Qun laughed and said:

"I want to keep this person under the tent to listen to it, but the young man is still quite loyal, saying that he is recommended by Wenqian, and he must go back to report the news, and I will no longer force it."

Cao Cao's brows furrowed, and his expression suddenly became a little more lonely.

He used to think that Yunshan was just a brave man, but now he heard Chen Qun say that this person is still a heroic figure who values righteousness and neglects death.

He remembered the arrogant warrior who killed Yan Liang back then, how much he wanted to keep Guan Yu under his command, but the money, official position and future prospects could not shake this strong-willed man, which made Cao Cao depressed and kept thinking about it.

After all, people will often miss what they can't get.

"In this way, Yun Shan is a talent." Cao Cao said, "Whoever is not Meng Lang when he is young, he can learn from bow and horse, and he can also learn military strategy." When Zixiao and Zilian followed Gu, they were all prodigal sons in the township, and they didn't understand military strategy at all. He compiled a military book for him to study, and he fought hard for many years, and he was also a fierce general.

This is the only ...... This ......"

The generals of the Cao family are used to looting, and Cao Hong is even more poisonous, and directly told Cao Cao that he can't change it.

It's been a long time since I've had such a sincere boy.

Everyone was a little embarrassed for a while.

Cao Cao recovered from the past and began to ask everyone to report to him on the preparations for the current Eastern Crusade.

Dong Zhao told Cao Cao with a sad face that there was a serious problem with the equipment of the navy army - the fire had destroyed a lot of arrows before, and the speed of their current production was too slow, which had seriously affected the progress of the Eastern Crusade. Dong Zhao even pessimistically believed that it would take them at least a month to gather 100,000 arrows, which was a bit embarrassing.

Cao Cao was very dissatisfied and asked about the current stock of arrows, Dong Zhao had the courage to report one million, but told Cao Cao that more than half of the arrows were in Cai Mao's hands.

"Can't wait, gather all the craftsmen in the barracks and let ...... Let Zhongde step up supervision, who dares to slack off, will not be spared. ”

"Do you want Cai Mao to hand over some of the arrows?"

"Not necessarily." Cao Cao said decisively, "I have to add some arrows to him, this water battle is all up to him, and he must not be separated from the Jingzhou army!" ”

Even so, Cao Cao was quite superior, and he muttered:

"It seems that we will delay the dispatch of troops until the spring is in full bloom."

He was about to dismiss everyone, and Xu Chu entered the door to report that Cao Ren asked to see him.

As soon as the words fell, Cao Ren had already impatiently pushed Xu Chu away and came in from the outside.

Xu Chu's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, shouted rudely, and grabbed Cao Ren's right arm. His thick arm slammed into force, and he was stunned to pull Cao Ren out of the house, and Cao Ren suddenly screamed in anger.

"Let go of me, dog thing!"

Cao Ren scolded, Cao Cao had no choice but to get up in person, paced to the door, and said in a cold voice:

"Zixiao, do you want to rebel?"

Cao Ren glanced at Xu Chu hatefully, and said in a hoarse and slightly excited voice:

"Prime Minister, Wen Qian has sent a letter!"

"What's wrong again?" Cao Cao began to have a little headache again, and Xindao had just sent a letter to Zhao Yan before, and this time he was doing something again.

But as soon as the words fell, he was stunned to see that the short Le Jin was really kneeling beside Cao Ren, looking at him eagerly.

"Wen, Wen Qian, what's wrong?"

Cao Cao didn't dare to slack off if Le Jin gave up Xiangyang to come here, he quickly led Le Jin and Cao Ren into the house together, and all the strategists surrounded him, knowing that something big had happened.

Le Jin was out of breath, and when he saw Cao Cao, there were tears in his eyes, and he choked up:

"Prime Minister! Our fierce general Yunshan has broken through Shiyang and surrounded Xiakou, Zhao Yan refused to send troops, Lejin was incompetent, begged the prime minister, begged the prime minister to send troops quickly, don't miss the opportunity! ”

Surround Xiakou?

Cao Cao was shocked, thinking that he had misheard.

Le Jin choked up and said: "Sun Quan wanted to sneak attack Xiangyang while the prime minister's army was not there, but he happened to be intercepted by Tan Zhi and Huang Hansheng. Our army fought all the way to repel Sun Quan, and pursued all the way to Shiyang, Tan Zhisheng captured Liu Bei's fierce general Shiren, Huang Zhong retreated from Guan Yu, our army was mighty and shocked, surrounded Xiakou, Liu Bei was panicked all day, waiting for Jiangdong reinforcements. ”

But Zhao Yan said that this was Liu Bei's trick, and he should not be trusted, and he would never send troops to rescue him.

The last general is incompetent, so he can only beg the prime minister to send troops. If the prime minister refuses to send troops, the last general will kneel and die here, and please give the prime minister an order quickly! ”

What a cloud mountain!

Although Cao Cao had some expectations for Yunshan, he didn't expect him to be able to break through Shiyang, capture Shiren, and besiege Xiakou.

This boy is hot-blooded, he is really good and courageous!

Cao Cao's ambition rose sharply, he slowly helped Le Jin up, and said slowly:

"Is that true?"

"Seriously! Most of the spies in the army arranged by Zhao Yan fled desperately, how could it be fake! Yunshan lacks a major general, if Liu Bei breaks through the siege, please ...... prime minister"

"Needless to say." Cao Cao's face showed a rare look of perseverance, "Gongren, just now I said how long will our army have to prepare?" ”

Dong Zhao smiled bitterly: "At least, at least one month." ”

"Three days! Three days later, Lone Yao led the army to the expedition and broke through Jiangdong! ”
