Chapter 76: Nothing Else?
Cao Jun was forced by many superiors to quickly complete the preparation for sending troops.
The faces of all the Cao soldiers were full of confusion, not knowing where this battle would go.
Cao Cao saw the confusion of everyone, and before boarding the ship, he glanced at the people around him with a calm gaze, and said loudly:
"I, Cao Cao, have been ordered by the Son of Heaven to crusade against those who are not subordinate from all directions, and it has been thirteen years! In the past thirteen years, I have conquered the south and the north, and I have been invincible. Therefore, the general Yuan Shao occupied four states that year, and there were many generals, thinking that the world could be determined, and in the first battle of Guandu, our army turned defeat into victory, and finally pacified the north in the past few years. โ
"Now Sun Liu is stubbornly resisting against the heavenly soldiers, the division is nameless, the army has no fighting spirit, our army's junior general Yunshan led the army but tens of thousands, has broken through Shiyang, and the soldiers are trapped in Xiakou, which shows that Sun Liu is incompetent, Zhuge and Zhou Lang are less wise, and when our army arrives, it will be able to sweep away Jiangdong Buchen!
All the kings will fight with me, and on the day of the thief, you will have a heavy reward! โ
Cao Ren nodded again and again when he heard this, he clenched his fists and shouted "Prime Minister Wansheng", but before the surrounding people could respond, they heard a thunderous shout not far away.
"Dahan Wansheng! Dahan wins! โ
Hearing this slogan, Cao Ren subconsciously shuddered, and thought that Liu Bei had called, but it could be seen that it was Cai Mao's subordinates who were calling, and he couldn't help but be angry and anxious.
Shout, shout, you're a Han army, aren't you?
Cao Cao's eyes fell on Cai Mao's face, the old classmate whose hair was already half gray smiled at him, and owed a little debt, and Cao Cao's side of Kuai Yue Han Song and others from Jingzhou subconsciously avoided it, not daring to accept the great gift of the patriarch of the wealthy clan in Jingzhou.
This made Cao Cao feel a little more dissatisfied in his heart.
He conquered many people in the southern and northern wars, but none of them were as difficult to deal with as Cai Mao.
The terrain of Jingzhou is complicated, and if he wants to go east, he has to rely on sailors, so he has to rely on this person, if he lets this person master Jingzhou......
Cao Cao suddenly felt a little resentful in his heart, Liu Bei is still a hero, what is Cai Mao?
I knew I shouldn't have accepted his surrender!
He set his eyes on Chen Qun beside him.
"Is there any news from Tanzhi?"
"No, no." Chen Qun replied truthfully.
It's only been three days, how could he have received the news so quickly, it seems that the prime minister is really anxious.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said: "There is Lao Changwen who went to Xiakou in person to help Tan Zhi break the thief. โ
"Clams?" Chen Qun was stunned on the spot.
Although he has the right to lead the army when he joins the army, Chen Qun has really never led troops before, and he doesn't know how to bring a bunch of people to a distant place safely.
"Prime Minister, how many soldiers and horses should I bring?"
"I don't care about dividing the troops, you choose a hundred elites to go to the Yunshan Army to supervise the army.
Wait for the pacification of Jingzhou, Ruhe Yunshan has another important task! โ
Chen Qun: ......
Cao Cao had a group of military advisors, a group of military advisors, and a group of chief bookkeepers, but Chen Qun was also outstanding among so many elites.
If nothing else, he will follow Cao Cao all the way through the wind and rain, and then become a central member.
Running to Guan Ping is certainly an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but after all, it is a bit dangerous, Chen Qun has always disliked doing things himself, which is really difficult for a strong man.
Chen Qun's fellow villager Xun You felt that something was wrong with this battle before, but he intended to let his fellow countryman escape first, and praised when he heard this:
"Yes, although Yunshan is brave, it will not be long after all. I'm afraid that Yunshan and the court will have a discord with the court, and I have to rely on a long article! โ
Chen Qun: ......
No, what does this matter of coordinating the relationship between everyone have anything to do with me, I Chen Qun had a bad relationship with all the poor people before, you know that you still let me go because you want me to do this, don't you?
Okay, don't talk to me, I'll die if I dare to go."
Chen Qun couldn't stop slandering in his heart, but he could only pretend to be light-hearted, and said calmly:
"The group has long had this intention, last time I repelled Guan Ping with Tan Yi, and let him run away by luck, this time, I will definitely capture this life!"
He glared at Xun You again, and said in his heart that I will look good with you when I come back.
ยท
In this way, Cao Jun was ready to stop.
Cao Cao personally led an army of nearly 70,000 as the front, and Cheng Yudu led the rear team of 30,000 as the rear team, down the Yangtze River, and advanced to Xiakou.
Le Jin returned to Xiangyang and sent Cao Cao's warrant, ordering Zhao Yandu to lead the Seventh Army of nearly 40,000 people to quickly march eastward, converging Yunshan, Ma Liang, Wang Mo's headquarters and recruiting a total of 10,000 troops, and strive to break through Xiakou first.
Because Cao Ren sent a big wave before, Cao Hong had a serious conflict with the Jingzhou army, Cao Cao made up his mind to replace a large number of soldiers, and the current 150,000 troops in his hand are the strongest lineup he can come up with, and the strength is still far more than the sum of the Sun-Liu coalition army.
Before sending troops, he received an inside message from Jiangdong that Xiakou was indeed surrounded by regiments, but Yunshan's troops were insufficient, and he suffered heavy losses under the onslaught of the Sun-Liu coalition army, Huang Zhong was captured by Liu Bei, and Yunshan was forced to retreat to Shiyang, and now the situation is very critical.
Looking at the endless warship and the dense soldiers on the ship in front of him, Cao Cao, who was standing in the cold wind, felt that his will had never been as firm as it was today.
He slowly lifted the halberd in front of him and shouted:
"Advance, eliminate Sun Liu!"
ยท
Chen Qun embarked on the journey very reluctantly.
Hey, I knew that he would go out in such a cold weather, and he wouldn't have any communication with Yunshan.
But at this point, we can only think on the bright side.
Yunshan performed well this time, and he will definitely be an indispensable pillar of the famous generals in the future, but the people in the countryside lack a foundation, and it would be a good thing if they could be accepted as my subordinates.
Chen Qun touched his chin, he didn't dare to imagine that the young man who was transporting grain still had such a creation.
He led his subordinates to the waters of Xiakou with trepidation, and saw that there was no Liu Beijun's patrol boat on the river, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
In any case, it seems that Yunshan's operation has been somewhat fruitful.
The Cao army on the north shore all hung the banner of Lejin, Chen Qun breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly called someone to dock. He informed the soldiers of his name, and heard that it was the Prime Minister's Mansion who joined the army, and Wang Moxing, who had followed Guan Ping to Jiangling before, rushed to meet him and hurriedly bowed to Chen Qun:
"Why is Chen joining the army here? The small one was far away, and asked Chen to join the army for forgiveness. โ
Chen Qun exhaled a breath of turbid air and barely squeezed out a smile:
"That's it, what's the deal?"
"It's not far away, I'll invite the general here!"
Chen Qun nodded slowly, and told himself in his heart that he must restrain his celebrity posture, and when he saw Yunshan and the others for a while, he should appease them and let them feel the warmth of the court.
Soon, Yun Shan led a group of officials and soldiers to hurriedly greet him, his smile was extremely sincere, obviously not centrifuged because of the previous negligence of the imperial court, which made Chen Qun also show a rare smile.
"Frankly, it's been a long time." He didn't have time to look at others, so he happily greeted him and shook Yun Shan's hand hard.
Unexpectedly, he hadn't seen him for half a month, Yun Shan was already a rare fierce general in the Cao army, Chen Qun held his cold palm with emotion in his heart, and suddenly felt that he might not have come in vain.
"Don't talk about it for now, tell me what the situation is now, what about Liu Bei?" Chen Qun asked calmly.
As soon as the words fell, I saw a person slowly walking out of Yun Shan's side.
The man was tall, with gray hair and a few furrow-like wrinkles on the skin of his face.
He looked at Chen Qun, and there was suddenly a hint of tenderness in his resolute eyes.
"Changwen, after many years, are you okay?"
