After Tong Guan smiled, Liu Yanqing said carefully: "Tong Shuxiang, destroy the thief crossing the river, deter and threaten, and then recruit An, this strategy is really good, but there is a section that makes the last general very worried." ”

Liu Yanqing is the old department of Tong Guan's Western Army, today's war, resolutely after the palace, several fell to death, Tong Guan's heart is not moved?

At the moment, Wen Yan said: "You are a veteran general in the army, and the old man has always respected him, why can't you say it directly?" Listening to you, could it be that the old man was thinking, but what was wrong? ”

Liu Yanqing hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's not that the cardinal is thinking inappropriately, but that General Wu suddenly killed, greatly frustrating the enemy's spirit, I want to rebel against the thief, and I don't know how many troops General Wu has come to increase here, how can I not be afraid in my heart?" Therefore, the last general was only worried that they would transfer troops from Jinzhong, so that the thieves would continue to cross the river, when would they be killed? If it is delayed for a long time, will it not be a mistake to plan the cardinal. ”

"Ahh Tong Guan slapped his face and said again and again: "He is worthy of being a veteran!" The end of the thoughtful is fine. In this way, we still have to defend the Yellow River and make a game of closing the door and beating the dog, but this matter is not easy...... Hey, General Wu, why are you laughing? ”

When Cao Cao heard Liu Yanqing mention crossing the river, his heart suddenly moved, and a plan followed, but it was inconvenient for him to speak, so he deliberately made a foolish laugh and led the child to ask.

Seeing Tong Guan's set, Cao Cao smiled slightly: "The last general is not smiling, just because he watched the conversation between Enxiang and General Liu, in a few words, the overall situation has been decided, and I know that the reason why the Western Army is strong is because he is smiling." I also like that the Yellow River is locked, not only the plan to beat the dog can be accomplished, Tian Hu has no hope of crossing the river, and it will be much easier to recruit An. ”

Tong Guan nodded again and again and said, "If you can really block the river, this is the situation." ”

Then he said sadly: "It's just a pity, it's a pity, in the past, Emperor Taizu was eloquent and strategic, digging Jinming Pond outside Bianjing City, training and building a water army, one to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, the second phase of the attack on Youzhou, and later the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed, Song Liao negotiated peace, the water army lost its usefulness, and spent money and food in vain, and when the prime minister was in power, he asked for the abolition of the Bianliang Naval Division, and selected a large ship and a healthy sailor to fill Dengzhou...... Hey, if the Bianliang Sailor is still there, what is the difficulty in blocking the Yellow River? Now it's time to think differently. ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, frowned, pretended to be contemplative, suddenly patted his leg, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot this person!" That's it, if it weren't for the blessings of grace and blessing, how could there be such a clever method? ”

Tong Guanqi said: "What kind of trick? ”

Cao Cao said happily: "The last general in Nanfeng, didn't he surrender Wen Renshi Chong and his two lieutenants?" Hearing that this guy is nicknamed 'Han Water Dragon King', the best at water warfare, its headquarters of more than 3,000 elites, are also good men who ride the waves, and now they are all under the command of the last general, Enxiang only needs to share the boat with him, and he must teach the Jin thieves to cross the river. ”

Tong Guan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Why is it difficult to get a ship? In Jin Mingchi, although those big ships went to Dengzhou, there are countless small and medium-sized warships, and those ships are not used in the sea, and they have always been left unattended. How can we restrain others? ”

Cao Cao patted his chest when he heard this: "Don't worry, this matter is all on the last general." When the last general did business, there was also a business route by water, since there were a few people who were accustomed to water and martial arts, the last general recruited them, and settled beside Wen Ren Shichong, he was willing to serve loyally, naturally the best, if there was a different heart, he would follow Ma Dai's move to kill Wei Yan and kill him with a knife. ”

Tong Guan nodded and smiled: "In this way, it is worry-free." That's it, the horse must be fed with grass, so that people must be good, so that the Wenren will be the commander of the Yellow River Naval Army, the two under his command will also be the deputy general, and your henchman will be the deputy commander, and you will make him rush to the boat in the starry night to block the Yellow River waterway as soon as possible. ”

At that moment, he called the scribe to write a document in the account, and Tong Guan personally used the seal, because he was afraid that the officials in Bianjing would put up a shelf and delay, he specially ordered two cronies under his command Yu Hou to accompany him to go and open the upper and lower joints as soon as possible.

Cao Cao took the paperwork, went back and talked to Wen Renshi Chong in detail, Wen Renshi Chong was very happy, and said to Cao Cao: "The younger brother is in charge of the water army this time, and the Yellow River is thousands of miles, all of which are vertical and horizontal by the eldest brother!" ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Dengzhou Sailor is already in my hands, and now you are in charge of the Yellow River, and the rivers and seas are in our hands." However, you only have more than 3,000 people, and your strength is not enough, and there are also water athletes on Liangshan, so I will transfer some men and horses to help you and make up 5,000 people. ”

After that, he wrote a letter and handed it to Wen Ren Shichong: "You have received this letter secretly, after arriving in Bianjing, go to the inn of so-and-so, find the 'drum flea' Shi Qian, give him the letter, and he will do it." ”

Wen Renshi Chong put away the letter, solemnly bid farewell to Cao Cao, ordered the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and went with the two Yu Marquis.

The next day, Tong Guan rectified the soldiers and horses - he brought an army of 80,000 to fight Xijing, a big defeat, more than 20,000 soldiers, Cao Cao's subordinates, went to Wenren Shichong, there are still 27,000, just enough to make up for Tong Guan's losses.

Tong Guan left all the wounded soldiers in the camp to rest, and the remaining 80,000 people, he wanted to attack Luoyang again.

The generals were taken aback when they heard this, and Liu Yanqing frowned and said: "Prime Minister, our army is newly defeated, so let's rest for a while, otherwise the morale has not recovered, how can we be a big battle?" ”

Tong Guan sighed and said: "The old man has been on the battlefield for a long time, how can he not know such truths? It's just that you have to think carefully, Xijing is only more than 200 miles away from Tokyo, and the thieves are here, and the official family can't sleep peacefully day and night, and they are bent on hoping that I will win. If I delay for a long time, the DPRK and China will inevitably have endless gossip, and the rumor-mongering Tong will lose the battle. ”

Some officials wondered: Didn't this guy really lose the battle? Neither nor not! It was the Jin thief who came suddenly, intending to attack our army on the back of the abdomen, but Tong Dashuai watched the fire and made a plan to push the boat down the river, deliberately deceitful defeat, with the heart of a thief, leading the main force of the thief soldiers out, which killed the army that had been ambushed in advance, that is, Cao Cao's army, in one fell swoop, killed the demon road of the thief army spitting fire, and a number of heavy generals, won a big victory, forced the thieves into Xijing, and did not dare to take another step.

Anyway, the military book of the imperial court is written in this way.

Seeing that Tong Guan's fighting spirit was very strong, Wang Yu rolled his eyes and stepped forward and said: "What Enxiang said is the truth. However, General Liu's worries are also true, now the morale of our and other armies is withering, it is really difficult to take on a big responsibility, only the command of General Wu has won many victories, morale is sharp, if you want to fight again, the last general is willing to raise General Wu as the vanguard! ”

Tong Guan looked at Cao Cao and was a little hesitant.

He was a little embarrassed in his heart, he had just been saved by someone, and he turned his face and was sent to fight the vanguard, in Tong Guan's opinion, this is immoral.

Because according to Tong Guan's war practice, those subordinate generals, who give him a lot of bribes, are arranged in the Chinese army or with food, if they give less or simply do not give, it is a sentence: "The old man knows that the general is brave, and now he should be the vanguard of the army, work hard to kill the enemy, and don't let the old man down." ”

How can there be a reason to casually let people be pioneers?

But after thinking about it, it seemed that only Cao Cao was the most capable of fighting, so he smashed it and smashed his mouth, looked at Cao Cao and smiled: "General Wu, what do you think?" ”

Cao Cao got up and clenched his fists, and said angrily: "Enxiang, Wu is in the army, but General Liu is a pawn, if it is not promoted by Enxiang, how can there be such soldiers and horses?" Now killing the enemy for the sake of grace is naturally within the will of the general! The last general is willing to be the pioneer and set foot in Xijing for Enxiang. ”

Tong Guan was overjoyed when he heard this, got up and pointed at him and said, "Okay! Loyal to the liver and gall! General Wu, you don't live up to your marshal, and your marshal doesn't live up to you, if you win this battle, you will definitely have a good future. ”

There is a division of teaching: luxury covers the turmoil of Handing, and the mighty boat master locks the river. The 80,000 army worked together, and Xijing City moved to fight!
