"Get ready! No more! The ferry can be taken, ride on land, and take Hefei overnight! Xu Zhen's lieutenant is impossible to block!! ”

"Whoa!"

The warships came out in unison, completely out of the bunkers outside Xiaoyaojin, a total of five ships, each with hundreds of people; There are dozens of ships and countless fast boats, taking advantage of the night to attack.

There were a lot of fierce people on the warship, among which Tai Shici and Gan Ning each led an army, Sun Ce led three building ships alone, and the cavalry was commanded by two veteran generals, Han Dang and Huang Gai.

Potential to take Hefei!!

……

Xu Du.

On the second day, Cao Cao, Xu Zhen, Xun Yu, and Xun You sat at home and drank until late at night.

On this day, Xu Zhen had already broken his vows, slept until the third pole day, and there was no reason to refuse on the second day, and although Xun Yu did not drink, he was willing to let go of all official accompaniment, and he was not afraid of the criticism of the scholars, of course Xu Zhen would not refuse.

"You're careless!"

Xun You sighed with emotion, "Bowen is well versed in the art of war, how can he make such a mistake, if Sun Ce does it, it seems that Hefei and Shouchun will be owned by Yangzhou, but in fact, he only needs to take the ferry to get better." ”

"The ferry port outside Hefei is a crossing, and only manpower is required to pass, and it will arrive overnight."

"Do you believe that Sun Ce doesn't do it? He financed it with tens of thousands of dollars, and he made a trade trip to associate with Bowen, I guess it was all by confusion! ”

"This is to make Bowen take it lightly, and after the lord knew about it, he immediately sent General Yu Ban, but it is estimated that it is too late, how many people can you have in Hefei."

"Three thousand."

Xu Zhen's words were concise and to the point, and he did not waver in any way because of Xun You's words, and the soldiers he brought knew by himself.

"One thousand and two of my parts, one thousand and eight of Liao's parts."

"That's the general......" Xun You sighed even more, this is not comparable to the headquarters he has always carried, and he also took Zhang Liao away, how can he hold it, "It's good if Zhang Liao stays in Hefei." ”

"Of course not!"

Xu Zhen immediately retorted, "If Zhang Liao is in Hefei, Sun Ce will be able to know, and when he is transferred in the future, he will know that I am worried about his attack, and he will be more determined to attack Hefei. Lujiang blocked the possibility of entering Xudu, Jiujiang blocked the possibility of going north, he wanted to make some small moves when we were at war with southern Hebei, unless he borrowed from Liu Biao! His father died by borrowing the Tao, did he dare to borrow the Tao of Jingzhou with Liu Biao? How could Liu Biao be willing to lend it to him? ”

Xu Zhen's words were not excited, and he said his thoughts straightforwardly, but he could also make everyone present nod their heads constantly, Xun You understood when he heard him say this, he was still on guard, but he had lost his former caution if he gambled too much.

"Then how does Bowen know that they will definitely not attack, or will retreat because of the difficulties?"

"If Hefei is broken, and then threatens Jiujiang, won't a year's business be ruined?"

This kind of thing, Cao Cao never opened his mouth to judge, but looking at Xu Zhen's eyes, there was a lot of praise, people are legends, that is, they start from daring to go against common sense, maybe the victory will not be tilted by such a strange trick to find another way, but the hearts of the people will.

The first step Xu Zhen still came out, now let's look at the second step.

"Bowen, in the next opinion," Xun Yu continued to give his hand, his tone was very calm, he was much older than Xu Zhen, but if he was not as good as Xu Zhen in terms of official position and title, it was not an exaggeration to call himself "in the next", "The whole world will pay attention to this matter, if there is nothing to do, it means that Jiangdong and Jiujiang are completely united, and the Cao family will be helped by Jiang Zuo's talents in the future, which will be of great benefit." ”

"But if he loses, or if Jiujiang is taken in a defeat, and Yangzhou is completely attributed to Sun Ceso, then he will occupy the southeast, and over time, won't he be another Yuan Benchu? From the perspective of long-term strategy, this is a battleground for the battle, he will definitely do it, if the people of the world look at it, once there is a result, it will affect the princes and generals of all parties, and the matter is big! ”

"I don't dare to agree with ......"

The scene was a little cold, Xu Zhen didn't want to elaborate, so he fell into silence, mainly because Cao Cao refused to speak, which caused the scene to be embarrassing for a while, and finally Xun Yu laughed after taking a sip of tea, "Gongda, maybe you didn't understand Bowen's intentions." ”

"Please ask Uncle for advice."

Xun Yu immediately gave up, naturally he was not annoyed or angry.

Xun Yu smiled at Cao Cao, and then looked at Xu Zhen, "It's not just about trust, Sun Ce loses his righteousness and doesn't get it, Jiangdong will be even more chaotic." ”

This is the truth in one sentence, he said the biggest disadvantage for Jiangdong, or the heavy blow to Sun Ce, in fact, it really comes from himself, if according to the current situation, once Sun Ce makes a move, the people under his command who are about to be attached, or the scholars of Jiangdong, will be a little angry.

Because Xu Zhen has a good reputation, loves the people like a son, always self-denial and public service, and has never been in disorder, the beauty of his concubine is probably already quite tasteful when it is preached, everyone talks and laughs, Jingzhou's infamy cannot affect the reputation of Jiangdong at all, and as soon as Sun Ce makes a move, he has already lost.

If you can't win a big victory and fall into a division, you will lose a lot.

"But there's one thing I want to say to Berwen...... The war was not imminent, so why was there such a hurry? But when there are more soldiers and horses, leaving thousands of people, wouldn't it be more stable in Hefei? ”

"Can't stay," Xu Zhen said: "One step can't be stopped, the momentum of armament is not only the confidence in the army, but also the choice of allies, the faster it is, the more capital it can strive for!" How many allies are there? There are four princes outside the Guan, Jingzhou and Liaodong, and there are still dozens of unstable forces in the land of Youzhou! Youzhou alone is known as the fifty clans, and it will also make him a lot of trouble, and the more chaotic it is, the more victorious he will be! As for Jiangdong, Zhang Liao made a military order. ”

Xu Zhen only mentioned this person, so Cao Cao was quite concerned, and the other two naturally looked at each other, quite surprised, because military orders are not common in the army, and they are generally responsible for not being responsible for not being established after they are established, and they are even sitting on the general's adjutant general, but Zhang Liao is not in Hefei, if he doesn't speak, it has nothing to do with him if he loses.

Even if he goes south to Shouchun to make achievements and have merits, but it is completely different if he makes a military order, once Hefei can't hold it after it takes effect, or if he loses the battle, it is useless for him to make any military exploits in the north, and he will still be nailed to his body by this crime, and he will not be able to run away for the rest of his life; Of course, they are familiar with the military order, Xu Zhen has not been less established before, but he has never let the military order take effect, although every time he makes a military order, it can always be done, this time......

"Bowen is sure," Cao Cao smiled happily, "Zhang Wenyuan, the headquarters under the letter, Xu Bowen letter Zhang Wenyuan, and I!" Believe in you. ”

Cao Cao looked at Xu Zhen with a sincere look in his eyes and said with a smile.

"Wait and see, perhaps, this battle not only has these benefits, there are more waiting for us, I expect Yuan Shao to be waiting for news, but what he is waiting for must be bad news, and I can wait for a wonderful news, so that the next step can go more freely."

……

After the meeting for a day or two, we talked for a long time, and each other's minds became clearer. And from this moment on, Cao Cao really saw that Xu Zhen had a temperament that others did not have.

But others don't have it, Cao Cao has it, that's a unique charm when employing people, which can make people willing to die for them, which is terrible but also very respectable.

Whenever he had a long talk with Guo Jia at night and talked about it, Cao Cao would still laugh loudly, "Hehehe, hehe!" Did you notice that Berwen is becoming more and more like me now. There is a lot of pride in the words, but there is also a little worry, which is human nature.

Guo Jia could see this worry in the corner of his eyes, but he was also more relieved, although the lord used soldiers like a god, but because of human nature, he was still a person, and he would always think more when he got old.

Nineteen days passed, and the war reports were naturally reported in various places, flying to various places like branches and leaves, and successively delivered to the hands of the princes.

Xu Zhen's arriving soldiers and horses had already left for Puyang to join Xiahoudun, threatening the crossing river and fighting for the river.

Previously, he had been practicing together in Xudu for more than half a month, which was quite effective, and he practiced tacit understanding with Cao's soldiers and horses, but it was just to boost morale, and Xu Zhenjun still had a lot of old knowledge in Xudu, so let them meet and talk a little, but naturally there are rules not to leak.

Some secrets can be leaked from person to person, and some cannot, and the officers and men in the army can naturally distinguish between these big and small things.

News, the princes of the whole Han Dynasty are probably waiting for news from Jiangdong, but they can't wait for the time being.

The first thing to get was of course Xu Zhen's expedited flying horse, which traveled day and night, and went straight to Xu Du to give Xu Zhen a copy, and then Yu Ban's battle report came to Cao Cao's command.

Then he sent the letter to Puyang and handed it over to Zhang Liao in Puyang.

This night, Xu Zhen broke his promise again, so he made more and more correct decisions in the past six months when he was in charge of Jinwu, and now he has no time to rest, not as resolute and direct as he was back then, and many things made him have to get up.

For example, this time, he took Dian Wei and Xu Chu to lead 300 horsemen to Puyang overnight, and the horses moved forward.

He had to tell Zhang Liao the news as soon as possible.

But as soon as he went out, he was stopped by Cao Cao.

He waited for Xu Zhen outside the city gate, stood up with his back in his hands, and sat on the canopy behind him, his face was still serious, and he didn't smile until Xu Zhen came and got off the horse, "Congratulations!" You win. ”

"Lord!"

Xu Zhen immediately greeted him with a smile, and came to salute, and the battle report came that it was indeed a win, and it was a big victory! Sun Ce did not die, but he was defeated and returned, the Taishi Cilou ship was defeated, Gan Ning desperately rescued, as for Huang Gai and Han Dang, the two old generals, one of them was lost on the road of Lu Qi, and the whole battalion was killed by Zhang Liao's 1,800 parts in Xiaoyaojin.

The price is.

A thousand people were lost, and eight hundred remained!

All of them are belligerent and untimid tiger wolves, but unfortunately the power of the tiger wolf was not shown in the hands of Lu Bu, but under the command of Xu Zhen, it showed the tenacity and madness of the wolves, crazy horses and crazy soldiers, running for 300 miles around Xiaoyaojin, not only killing the veteran Han Dang, but also repelling the rescued Huang Gai, and becoming famous in a battle!

And at the time of the war, everyone shouted "Zhang Liao's name" and ridiculed "What if there is no general?" If you step on the horse, what a majesty, Jiangdong is shocked! There is no place to show Sun Ce's bravery, because he has not landed at all!

All the building ships did not approach the Hefei ferry, they have been shot back by bows and arrows, and the bow and arrows are extremely strong, the wooden planks are difficult to bear, the huge arrows sink several ships, and the fast boats are innumerable.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he found out, laughed wildly, and went straight to the outside of the city to set up a wine pavilion on one side to wait for Xu Zhen, he knew that this kid would definitely go back to Puyang.

"Three questions to solve the confusion in my heart."

"My lord, excuse me."

Xu Zhen's face was calm, because he knew that there were no sword and axe men here, no sharpshooters in ambush, no cavalry waiting in the distance, just asking a question, so he still smiled.

"Hmm...... Why can't the Jiangdong warships enter Hefei for half a step. ”

"Our army has wrought iron, so the discarded wood and sand and gravel are put into bags into the water, and the bags are packed into things to block the river, following the example of Liu Hengjiang's iron lock Hengjiang."

Xu Zhen laughed at this time, this strategy was really what he and Jia Xu thought, and it was arranged secretly by Jia Xu, and he threw himself every night, except for Xu Ying's people at night, the rest of the people were not so idle, and it was difficult to find and investigate.

And other people's outposts are definitely not as good as Xu Ying's soldiers, Jia Xu did this beautifully, this strategy is not obvious at all, but doesn't this work?

"Good strategy, good strategy!" Cao Cao closed his eyes, he could imagine such a scene, and when he got to the shallows, the boat was not feasible, or he was stopped and hooked by the iron fence, and he could only become a target.

Elite archers, the most important thing to shoot is the target, because the target will not move.

"However, it is impossible for the archers alone to sink all those ships, and ...... Yuan Rong crossbow? ”

This is the second question.

Xu Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, Yuanrong crossbow, and there is also a giant arrow made of Sutie arrows." ”

"Su Tie?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up, the smile on his face increased a lot, the hands behind his back were no longer clenched, they were placed on his sides, he patted Xu Zhen's shoulder and said, "Then I want to ask the fourth question." ”

"Let's talk about the third one."

Xu Zhen said.

"The third question, how dare you conclude that Zhang Liao's 1,800 cavalry can be trampled on a horse."

"Just because he is a general, the general never communicates with people, does not be with the soldiers in the army, but I know that they want to integrate into one, after today, they will really get rid of the name of the general, this is what I can't eliminate, even if I practice with them every day, personally lead the new soldiers to practice with the old department, can not be eliminated, Zhang Liao made a military order, and his army fought for Zhang Liao so hard, but also for this reason, the soldiers are so, loyalty and righteousness through the ages, the reputation of Xiaoyaojin, loyalty and righteousness occupy the heaviest! On top of that, they also have the Iron Knife. ”

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and nodded thoughtfully, "You and I understand this truth, but I don't know if I can understand it." ”

"Sooner or later, he will understand, and it was only when I led the troops in these three years that I gradually understood what it means to be in charge of the soldiers, and the soldiers may regard other things as more than fate."

"The lord now, you can rest assured to act boldly, do anything, but there are more chips, the righteous man for the righteousness of his confidant and the battlefield famous, buried the loyal bones in the ground, Zhenjin to cross the fame. It was also the lord who slashed hard at this quagmire situation. ”

Xu Zhen was very sure, and the smile on his face remained unchanged.

"Hmm!! Good! Go ahead. ”

Cao Cao happily patted him on the shoulder.

"Isn't there a fourth question?"

"It's gone."

Cao Cao's face was relieved, his chest straightened up slightly, and he waved his hand and said loudly: "Go and tell Wen Yuan, Xiaoyaojin became famous in Jiangdong in the first battle, and the thousands of soldiers under his command were all martyred together, and no one called him the tiger wolf of Bingzhou again, and no one in the army will say that he is a general. ”

"Thank you, my lord!"
