Since a combined attack was inevitable, Zhang Wen could only make this rapid battle better within his ability.

So, in the sixth year of Guanghe, on the 7th day of November, that is, the second day of this winter snow melting.

The drums of the Han army in the south of the river were loud, and the soldiers were ordered to fly to the camp on the south bank of Qishui with feathers.

The generals who had been meeting in the military government also returned to the camp surrounded by their own troops to preside over the next battle.

With the appearance of this heavy snowfall, the Han army got a short rest, but the overall morale did not rise.

There are many reasons for this, such as the prolonged war and the fear of a powerful enemy. But more often than not, it's actually a confusion about the future.

At present, in the camp, as the main force of the Han soldiers are the northern and southern armies that went out with Huangfu Song at that time, they have strong combat power, high morale, and are the most loyal to the Han family, but they are also the most confused.

You just say, from April out of the expedition, did they pass smoothly? There are many thieves who are exterminated, but more and more are exterminated.

Some of them have read the scriptures, some of them have family traditions, and they know in their hearts what it takes to encounter such a situation.

It was the last days of the Qin Dynasty and the last years of the Mangxin Dynasty, when everyone could not survive.

When they realized this, how could the hearts of these last guards not fluctuate? How can you not be concerned?

After all, not everyone is willing to be the lonely loyalist of the white jade pillar and the purple gold beam of the sea, and be buried with the Han family.

They are also people with families, and the family also points to them choosing the way out, and they can't be willful.

Therefore, the atmosphere of the Han army camp is quite treacherous.

On the one hand, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Zhao Rong, Chun Yuqiong, Zheng Tai, Bao Hong, Huang Fuli, Feng Fang, Zhang Chao and other nine captains are eager to fight.

But on the other hand, the middle and lower class military officials and the low-level non-commissioned officers were depressed.

The ninth lieutenant is naturally also aware of the depression, and it stands to reason that the commander should be there to boost morale at this time.

But it's a pity that our coach Zhang Wen will still be stationed in Chaoge.

Is it afraid of death? None of the military officials present dared to say anything, and no one knew.

Zhang Wen handed over the festival to Cao Cao, and put him in charge of organizing the battle.

To tell the truth, the rest of the eight lieutenants were not convinced. Half of the reason why Cao Cao just lost the battle and the morale of the army was depressed was because of this person.

Also, if we hadn't led the army in time, this Cao Cao would have died on the other side of the river.

So, just ask why?

But the eighth lieutenant refused to accept it again, and Cao Cao still obtained the festival, the fake festival marched in the army, and supervised the ninth lieutenant department of Qishui.

As soon as he won the festival, Cao Cao summoned the whole army to the school field.

In the cold, he said to everyone:

"I'm really surprised, I never thought that our battle-hardened army would be afraid of a flock of thieves.

Is this still the legendary soldier I heard about since I was a child, the tiger ben who made great achievements in war and sealed the wolf?

Stop fighting, go back. Go back to the woman's arms and weep, go back to the high walls of the dock wall to live, go back to Kyoto and continue to live and die drunk, but all as long as you abandon the glory of your father and ancestors.

Yes, as long as you abandon the glory of your fathers and ancestors, and let them see in the underworld, how your proud offspring have defiled your family and your loyalty to the Han family.

Therefore I give you the opportunity, and those of you who are willing to fight again will show their left arm, and those who want to go back will show their right arm.

It doesn't matter, no one will laugh at you, because you are no longer our robes, and a samurai who has no will to fight in his heart is no longer worthy to be called a samurai.

So, you show your shoulders and tell me your options. Fight or go?"

Very old-fashioned agitation, but very effective.

These generals in the army have been fighting for the Han family in the northern and southern armies since their fathers and ancestors, and it is indeed as Cao Cao said, they grew up bathed in the glory of their ancestors.

They can die, but the glory of ancestors and families cannot be folded in their hands. Therefore, nearly 120 generals, all with their left shoulders, raised their arms and shouted:

"Fight! War! Fight!"

Cao Cao's hair was broken because of his own hair during the previous battle of Qishui, and now he is hastily tied up, but this does not affect his heroic spirit.

His man stepped on the horse, waved his arms, and shouted:

"Okay, this is the soul of my Han family, this is the spirit of my Han family, and this is the pride of my Han people."

Then, beating his chest, he continued:

"I know that many of you have heard of my Cao Cao, and you will definitely say, yo, isn't this the evil boy who wandered Kyoto, the mixed ranger who snatched his relatives with Yuan Shao. Even among you there will be more vicious, eggless eunuchs who want to be our handsome. Isn't it?"

Then Cao Cao stared at the crowd with his eagle gaze.

This gaze was so sharp and penetrating that many military officials who thought about it couldn't withstand the pressure and bowed their heads to avoid it.

Cao Cao wanted this effect, but he obviously underestimated the chaos of the military officials below.

Just as Cao Cao was about to say the following, a stout Kansai soldier rudely interrupted Cao Cao.

I saw this man scolding in the crowd:

"Xiao Cao, you have eggs, but your grandfather has no eggs. I, Wang Zhong, have no other strengths, but the eggs are big, but I can give you some points."

When the officers heard this, they laughed.

These words were already close to humiliation, and Cao Cao on the platform was pale at the moment.

And Shi Huan, Xu Ding, and Xiahou Yuan, who were in the front of the crowd, were already red-eyed, and they were about to beat this owed dog slave when they pushed the crowd away.

Just when the military officials looked down on Cao Cao more and more, Cao Cao jumped off the platform with a wow, and then rushed to Wang Zhong, who had just been speechless.

Wang Zhong is seven feet, Cao Cao is six feet, Cao Cao put his forehead against Wang Zhong's nose, and kept scolding like a bull:

"Come, come, let Naigong see where your eggs are? Come, today you don't convince Naigong, Naigong will take out your eggs and stuff them in your mouth."

Wang Zhong was a small pavilion chief in Fufeng, and later transferred to the army, until now he is a general.

Originally, everyone didn't look down on this Cao Cao, but only he said it.

At this moment, seeing this son of the princess rushing to the top like a barbarian ranger in the countryside, Wang Zhong was directly two feet shorter in his heart.

Originally, he was seven feet, but now he is only five feet inside, shorter than Cao Cao opposite. Because he knows that Cao Cao's rampage is the most rewarding.

So Wang Zhong said:

"Nothing, nothing, Cao Gong's eggs are big, Cao Gong's is big."

Cao Cao pushed this coward away, and did not return to the stage, but continued to say loudly in the crowd:

"After I, Cao Cao, is a eunuch temple, this can't be changed no matter what. But so what? I, Cao Cao, still rode a fierce horse and killed thieves, and my old Cao was not at the forefront of the battle."

After speaking, Cao Cao skimmed himself off and went directly naked in front of the generals.

Then Cao Cao carried the bird and the eggs in his pocket, wantonly in front of everyone, and said proudly:

"Come, get some wine."

In this vacancy, Wang Zhong on the side secretly glanced at Cao Cao's lower body, and then lowered his head in shame again.

"It's still your big."

At this time, Xu Ding and Shi Huan were holding an urn of wine, and after placing it at Cao Cao's feet, they protected him on both sides.

Cao Cao scooped out a spoonful of wine, pointed to a scar on his chest, and said to the generals:

"Look at this, this is one I received when I was at the Changsha, when the thief pierced my armor with a pair of bladed lances, and almost pierced my chest."

After speaking, he drank the wine he had just scooped out of his hand, and the overflowing wine crossed his thick chest, and his breath was incomparable.

As soon as he finished drinking, Cao Cao roared:

"Does Lao Cao deserve this spoonful of wine?"

The soldiers next to him were all fierce men, and when they saw Cao Cao's scarred front, they already had respect for this person, and they were even more encouraged by his actions.

What a hero, that is, all over the world, are not satisfied with the pride of this gentleman!

However, Lao Cao is still there

Before it was over, he burped, and then pointed to a narrow knife mark on his abdomen, although it was not deep, but the length almost forced the big dragon under his crotch, and he shuddered.

Cao Cao pointed to the scar and laughed:

"You see this is my old Cao's luck, as long as this knife goes down again, Naigong Dalong will be killed. Sure enough, God is jealous and wants to destroy it, but my old Cao fights for it and fights for it. Not only did he stab the thief to death. After the war, Lao Cao picked six people. Accept it or not, you guys."

All the military officials clamored and shouted:

"Serve Lao Cao, serve Lao Cao."

Then Lao Cao drank another big spoonful of wine, then turned around, revealing his smooth back, and said to everyone:

"Come, come up and see, Lao Cao's back, is it slippery, is it moist? Of course, look at it, don't touch it! Otherwise, let you understand that Lao Cao picked a few peaches with a spear that day."

"Haha!"

The military officials couldn't hold back any longer, and they rushed up one after another, raising their hands and touching Cao Cao.

All the military officials understood what Cao Cao said, it turned out that this Cao Cao was not only a woman who could play, but also a man.

But what, the real hot lady's temper is not true.

So, Cao Cao yelled again:

"Lao Cao, I have a thousand knives on my chest, and there is not a single wound on my back, has Lao Cao deceived you? Is Cao Cao colorful?"

At this moment, everyone didn't say much, and hugged Cao Cao warmly, threw it up, threw it up, threw it up again, and threw it up again.

Cao Cao went up and down in the crowd chanting "Cai", laughing uncontrollably.

In the end, Cao Cao fainted, and after he landed, he said to everyone:

"Does anyone still care whose descendant Lao Cao is? Does anyone still think that Lao Cao is not a warrior? Is there anyone else who doesn't want to be my old Cao's brothers? Is there anyone who is unwilling to fight on the battlefield with Lao Cao, and the horse leather shroud?"

He pointed to the two urns of wine, and said to the officers:

"Come, if you can afford Lao Cao, you will drink with Lao Cao, and we are all spicy in the wine. From now on, we will live and die together, and we will share weal and woe."

As soon as Cao Cao's voice fell, the eighth lieutenant who had been sitting on the podium was ugly.

They couldn't see Cao Cao inviting people to buy people's hearts in the army and forming brothers. In the future, these generals will be his brothers of Cao Cao, so how will they, the lords, deal with themselves?

But neither Sun Jian nor Zhao Rong came out to stop it.

The former is confident that his subordinates are monolithic, and water can't splash in. The latter felt that Cao Cao was still needed to motivate morale.

As for righteous anger? Who believes?

Do you believe it?

No matter what the eighth lieutenant on the stage was, driven by such a warm atmosphere, all the military officials came up to scoop up the wine, and then bowed to Cao Cao and shouted:

"Kuang Fu Han Room, eradicate the yellow scarf, where righteousness lies, although there is no regret in death."

Cao Cao also raised his arms and shouted:

"Born as a Han scholar and died as a Han priest, and died as a Han ghost dragon court."

The thousands of words of the military officials also converged into one sentence:

"Born as a Han scholar and died as a Han priest, and died as a Han ghost dragon court."

Sun Jian on the stage also blushed, jumped up and shouted:

"Born as a Han scholar and died as a Han priest, and died as a Han ghost dragon court."

Finally, the eighth lieutenant also stood up and shouted.

But Zhao Rong in the middle pointed to Cao Cao, who was jumping up and down in the crowd, and whispered to Chun Yuqiong with disdain:

"It's a castration, not like a dog."

Who knew that Chun Yuqiong refuted Zhao Rong with a positive color, and then spit out:

"No, it's like a big horse monkey."

After saying that, the two laughed, just as the soldiers below laughed.

Yes, isn't this Cao Cao a big horse monkey, with a five-inch body, exerting force, jumping up and down, but the rope around his neck is still tied to their hands?

Haha, okay, this big horse monkey is really good.

Cao Cao, with his excellent speech and personal charisma, inspired the three armies and also increased his prestige among the middle and lower ranks.

It was precisely because of this prestige that Cao Cao was finally able to implement the planning and scheduling of this battle.

In this battle, Cao Cao did not intend to break out with the whole army as before, but decided to launch only a small-scale attack and disturbance war.

He first carried out a military performance competition in the army, and also used the capture and wealth in the army as a reward. Cao Cao's purpose in doing this was to raise the morale of his soldiers on the one hand, and to select the true warriors from among them.

The Han army's martial arts competition was on the south bank of Qishui, just to show their high fighting spirit to the opposite side.

This big competition, one comparison is three days, and Cao Cao also selected three hundred champions of each team from it and filled it into his command.

These 300 and the 300 brothers who had previously withdrawn from the north bank of Qishui were all under the command of Xu Chu, who had recovered from his injuries, and his subordinates were also called "Hushi".

Cao Cao also specially invited Zhang Wen in the rear to bring military flags and golden drums to officially award the flag to this "Tiger Battalion".

After that, Cao Cao disappeared with the Hushi camp for a day, and then when everyone was suspicious, Cao Cao came back with the Hushi camp.

At the same time, he brought back two hundred heads.

It turned out that they lurked out of the camp in the middle of the night, hid in Qishui, spared the water camp of the Taishan army all the way, and went straight to a military station twenty miles away in the north.

This is Cao Cao's plan, with a small elite interspersed with the rear military stations of the Taishan army, to break its supply. As long as you succeed, you will return, and then you will do the next attack.

In order to improve the mobility of the Tiger Battalion as much as possible, the entire 600 troops were equipped with horses and mules to carry supplies. They brought six days' fodder, rations, one day's water, three swords and a hundred arrows each.

Then Cao Cao took this heavily armed Hushi battalion and directly attacked the nearest military station of the Taishan Army at night. Because of the fatigue of the Japanese and Han troops, the Taishan army was somewhat slack.

This station had three granaries, each with a hundred soldiers.

Cao Cao's Hushi battalion came too quickly, and he was caught off guard, and the farthest granary was burned down, and the hundred people stationed in the warehouse were all killed.

Cao Cao also wanted to continue to attack the remaining two warehouses at night, but the Taishan army riding nearby saw the skyrocketing flames and rushed to help.

In the end, Cao Cao could only cut off some of the people and those Taishan pawns, wrapped these heads, shook off the crazy revenge of Taishan's cavalry, and finally returned to the camp on the second day.

It was also through these two hundred heads that Cao Cao's prestige reached its peak in the army!

Everyone called Cao Cao as:

"Cao Longtou."
