Chapter 276: The battle for military power, the city called a battle alone
Mu Guiying saw that the people in the account were their own people, and asked directly:
"Cao Bin, you knew there would be assassins, right?"
Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head and said:
"General Mu, don't speculate, Cao has always been honest and simple, if he knows about the conspiracy, how can he hide it?"
Mu Guiying nodded noncommittally and said:
"Some things, while good for the bigger picture, are also too risky."
"Zhang Shanfu is a relative of the emperor and the country, and he is most trusted by His Majesty, otherwise he would not have been appointed as commander."
"Once there are some clues, it is a big disaster."
Cao Bin nodded and laughed:
"Thank you General Mu for your concern, Cao has a spectrum in his heart!"
Mu Guiying couldn't help but roll her eyes.
You have a fart, if it weren't for the fact that you are getting bolder and bolder, and I can't bear to let you end up miserable, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you.
Anyway, my side has also benefited......
Eighth Sister Yang didn't hear the meaning of Mu Guiying's words, and defended Cao Bin:
"Zhang Shanfu deserves it, how can he blame Cao Bin?"
"He himself was assassinated? Gui Ying: Don't talk nonsense. ”
"If it spreads, won't Cao Bin be unlucky?"
Mu Guiying was choked up, momentarily speechless, and didn't want to say more.
At this time, the eldest lady of the Yang family asked:
"Cao Bin, now that Zhang Shanfu is seriously injured, the main force to attack Lingzhou next is you and me."
"I wonder what you think?"
Hearing this, Tong Guan, who was still bandaging his wounds next to him, immediately said:
"Uncle Cao has already received the will of the imperial court before."
"Now that Zhang Shanfu has given up the position of commander, of course, Uncle Cao will take charge of military affairs!"
"What's the objection to that?"
Wu Niang of the Yang family shook her head and said:
"No, the will of the imperial court is to let Cao Bin act cheaply, besides, he is young and inexperienced."
"How can you preside over hundreds of thousands of troops?"
Zhang Shanfu's departure from the production line will inevitably lead to a struggle for military power, which is expected.
The female general of the Yang family is also not at ease to hand over such an important task to Cao Bin.
Everyone present, whether it is She Lao Taijun or Mu Guiying, has at least more than ten years of experience in commanding troops, and their qualifications are much deeper than Cao Bin.
But before Cao Bin could speak, Tong Guan stopped doing it and said sharply:
"The army must be presided over by Uncle Cao, otherwise Tong will never agree to ......"
He is also the coach of the road, although he has been incorporated into Cao Bin's camp, his words still have some weight.
The daughters of the Yang family looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
At this time, Yang Bajie suddenly hesitated:
"Cao Bin is also quite strategic, right? Didn't he also design to annihilate 80,000 horses in Western Xia? I think whoever is in charge of military affairs can do it, or ......."
Before she could finish speaking, Mu Guiying interrupted:
"Military affairs, no child's play!"
Mu Guiying found that Yang Bajie was rejected by Cao Bin, defeated, and captured, and after being bullied several times, not only did she not hate, but her attitude changed greatly, and she became more and more protective of him.
What is this operation? Although she is smart, she is a little confused.
Although she has a certain recognition of Cao Bin's personality, she never thinks that his ability to command the army is more powerful than herself.
Cao Bin waved his hand and said:
"Why do we have to have a unified command, we are still in charge of one part as before."
Let him command hundreds of thousands of troops, and he himself has no confidence.
But the credit can't be given up by him, otherwise his subordinates will be dissatisfied.
Human nature is like this, there is no way to change it.
Old Taijun She hesitated for a moment and said:
"That's fine, but the two armies try to discuss properly and don't rush for credit."
Although the unified command of the large army can bring into full play its combat strength, now that they are arguing with each other and forcibly making a match, it is not conducive to the overall situation.
When the time comes, the Yang family will be more humble, that is, there will be no civil strife due to grabbing merit......
After the Yang family's female general left, Cao Bin's personal guards had already re-tied the tent.
Bury Xiangyun also changed his clothes, came to see Cao Bin with a spear, and said suspiciously:
"Uncle, are you an immortal?"
"You only patted the slave's forehead, and I dreamed of Zhao Zilong in Shu Han."
"He taught me a lot of martial arts and the art of war, and he also made the slave's body stronger."
"Is this the Daigo empowerment?"
The religious atmosphere in Western Xia was very strong, and it was not surprising that she had this thought.
Cao Bin just wondered how she accepted the inheritance, which seemed to be different from the sedan chair.
But he didn't think much about it, just admonished:
"It's a secret, don't tell it to outsiders!"
Bury Xiangyun nodded hurriedly, and excitedly lowered his voice and said:
"Don't worry, uncle, Xiangyun understands."
Seeing that her eyes were full of fanaticism, Cao Bin felt that she had misunderstood something.
At this time, Hu Sanniang also walked in in in embarrassment, and said with a grudge in her eyes:
"Uncle, you're too partial, aren't you?"
"What the hell did you give her? Why isn't there my share? ”
It turned out that when Xiangyun was practicing marksmanship, she was very kind enough to point forward, but she was deeply shocked.
In just a few moves, he was made to turn on his back.
Cao Bin glanced at her and said casually:
"It's all fate, don't worry, there will be one later."
Hu Sanniang shook her head unwillingly and muttered:
"Not because she climbed into your bed?"
In her opinion, Cao Bin is treated differently for this reason.
She was already a bit of a martial arts idiot, and she was very blushing when she saw that Xiangyun suddenly had such a high level of martial arts.
Hesitant to take the initiative......
Originally, the female general of the Yang family discussed with Cao Bin properly, and waited for Zhang Shanfu to give up the position of attacking the city.
Unexpectedly, in the evening, I didn't hear the order, and after knocking on the side, I found out what Zhang Shanfu thought.
He actually continued to fight with Lingzhou City under the banner of "not leaving the battlefield with minor injuries, and repaying the country with death if seriously injured".
Hearing this news, not only the Yang family's female generals were overjoyed, but Cao Bin was also a little speechless.
This guy is too greedy.
Until the Tangut people found him sick in bed, they attacked him at night and annihilated nearly 10,000 of him, and he reluctantly retreated.
It's not that he suddenly woke up, it's that his soldiers can't stand it anymore.
When the two armies face each other, as long as the loss exceeds 20%, the elite soldiers will also collapse.
His constant loss of men and horses made his men very frightened and nervous, lest they be sent to the camp the next day.
So a team of soldiers quietly touched Zhang Shanfu's handsome tent at night and wanted to assassinate him.
If it weren't for the shrewdness of his personal guards, I'm afraid he would have died on the spot.
As a result, he had to retreat, replace Cao Bin and the Yang family, and set up camp at the crossing of the Yellow River to guard against Western Xia reinforcements.
He was lucky, and if there was a roar, his army would collapse immediately.
In order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, he had to keep appeasing the soldiers, and he didn't even have time to trouble Cao Bin.
Cao Bin led the army to camp under the city of Lingzhou, and did not immediately attack the city, but let the soldiers rest well.
Early the next morning.
Cao Bin had a full meal, put on the golden zozi armor, led a group of generals and two thousand soldiers out of Dazhai, and then joined the female generals of the Yang family and came to the front of the city to challenge.
Seeing this, the Lingzhou guard general did not hesitate at all, directly opened the city gate, and sent troops to fight.
Tong Guan rode close to Cao Bin and said with a smile:
"It seems that Zhang Shanfu's siege of the city is not without effect, at least the guards relaxed their vigilance and dared to go out of the city to fight."
Chong Shiheng shook his head and said:
"I heard that there are two generals in Lingzhou City who have extremely high martial arts, so we can't be careless......
As she was talking, Sanniang of the Yang family came out and shouted:
"I am Dong Yue'e of the Yang family, a barbarian of Wuna Xixia, who dares to fight!"
