Chapter Seventy-Four: But He's Really, So Handsome
"Wenbo, this trip to Xuzhou, the lord should be determined to win, why don't you come to the tiger and leopard to ride."
"Although he is a marching horse, he can still serve as a sacrificial wine in the tiger and leopard cavalry."
"This time, the lord only brought two military advisors, one is you, and the other is Cheng Yu."
"In addition, your nephew, Mr. Gongda, is reorganizing the army in Xiaopei, together with Brother Zixiao, you can follow me."
As soon as he arrived at the barracks, Cao Chun led someone to greet Xun Xiao at the door.
The relationship between the two is already good, and Cao Chun should be regarded as the most intimate among the many generals of the Cao family, and Xun Xiao.
When he first approached Xun Xiao, he inexplicably got a lot of convenience.
And he is also Wang Er's superior.
Although I haven't read the content of the letter, judging from the many miraculous changes in the lord's policies, his changeable and miraculous effects, it can almost be concluded that it is inseparable from Xun Xiao's letter.
Besides, now Xun Xiao has such a great reputation for attacking Xu, which can be said to be unlimited in the future.
His elder brother is also the mainstay, which is equivalent to overseeing the internal affairs and the appointment, dismissal, and promotion of official positions in the entire Cao clan's territory.
The status is only under the lord.
Because of this, the relationship between the two is getting better and better.
"If you lead the troops, just rely on that imperial art to teach for a period of time, and the tiger and leopard riding may be more sophisticated."
"Let's make meritorious contributions together, and we can be promoted together in the future."
Cao Chun smiled very kindly, and grabbed Xun Xiao's shoulder, if Xun Xiao helped, it seemed that it would be okay to get a car to ride in the future.
At least he is also a general, and it is not an exaggeration to be a marquis and even a county marquis.
"No, whatever the lord says, it's what it is...... After I took office, I couldn't get rid of it at all. ”
Xun Xiao's expression was a little depressed, and there was a little calm in the decadence, as if he was going to go on an outing.
"Brother, don't be greedy."
"This time to go down to Xuzhou, the work of the previous months can be completed, and after Xuzhou changed hands, it is no longer as stable as it was back then, Lu Bu cannot get the support of the people when he first came, it is to take the merit of Xuzhou this time, and all listen to the arrangement of the lord."
"Huh?"
Cao Chun suddenly made a difficulty, because the biggest obstacle to Xuzhou was to capture Pi.
And the tigers and leopards are all cavalry.
The siege war must be reluctant to let them go out, if the elite losses are too large, it will not be a heavy blow to the eldest brother.
Even if it is a victory, it will be painful.
Therefore, his chance of meritorious service may be really small.
"Then, then we have to leave it to the table?"
Xun Xiao smiled bitterly: "Son and brother, this must be obeyed, this time to take Xuzhou is not a hard battle, and there is no need for generals to fight for merit." ”
"Feel free to do so."
The words have been made clear.
The battle of attacking Xu is of great significance, the land of the four battles in Xuzhou, the lonely side, it can be said that Tao Qian's governance has been very perfect.
Now to take it, it happens to be quite proficient in all aspects, and there is no need for too much rectification, and Lu Bu ...... was originally killed in Cao Cao's attack on Xu.
It's just a matter of time or time.
Even if Liu Bei was on the side, he was constantly harassing the rear of Cao's army, but now the time is too short, he has no time to recruit too many troops, and he can't afford to stir up any storms.
As long as he sent a general to lead the army to attack the land of Huailing and Xiaqiu, and beat Liu Bei with an unstable foothold, he could continue to attack and harass, so that Liu Bei had no time to take care of this place.
Xun Xiao actually believes that this battle is not only to take Xuzhou this year, but more importantly, many civil and military personnel can be meritorious because of this, representing the appointment and dismissal of official positions after arriving in Xuzhou in the future.
And I'm in the limelight enough.
Because of Tao'er, he made a little effort to attack Xu.
So there are a lot of merits.
If you fight for merit again this time, it will really become the target of everyone.
Once this happens, I'm afraid I'll have to give him 2,000 stones after taking Xuzhou.
What if it really becomes 2,000 stones?
"Okay, alas, I thought that if I got Xuzhou this time, I would be able to take a lot of credit under the great boost of merit, alas!"
Cao Chun slapped his thigh, a little annoyed.
"It's all my fault, I didn't fully believe your words at the time, and I didn't set up troops to ambush Lu Bu on the way, otherwise I wouldn't have let him escape."
In fact, he ambushed, but only used more than 1,000 people, so he didn't get much, and he was killed by Lu Bu and many generals under his command.
However, Cao Chun naturally didn't want to say these details directly.
He also thinks that Xun Xiao will not say anything if he sees through it.
Just do it tacitly.
……
The barracks tent assembled.
Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Yu Ban, Cao Hong and other generals led the vanguard army to set out, and the soldiers and horses were hoarded in Pengcheng from Yanzhou.
The delivery of grain and grass also set off first.
At this time, the civil and military forces were on standby, and the three armies were ready to move quickly.
Cao Cao waited on the throne for a long time, and naturally wanted to say something after deliberation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time I went back to Yanzhou, first, for the autumn harvest, and secondly, to see if the rebellion left by Zhang Miao Chen Palace was really completely pacified."
"In this battle, Zhongde did a very good job, I was very relieved, I never thought that in my rear territory, there are not only good ministers and celebrities like Wen Ruo, but also Cheng Zhongde, who can carry a knife and get on the horse."
"Naturally, Wen Bo also has a surprise soldier behind, and the arrangements are in place, which makes me relieved."
"But Xuzhou is still not down, don't be so contemptuous and proud, all the gentlemen should be brave and diligent, and then take Pi, before the autumn harvest, our army has besieged Xiapi many times, and now the whole army will go again, even if it is Lu Bu, it is unstoppable."
"I intend to take the land of Xiapi before the end of this year, and then collect the entire Xuzhou."
Cao Cao said in a sentence or two, and he had already expressed his determination,
"Lord, I want the army to come later," At this time, Xun Xiao suddenly arched his hand, and shook it to the end, his expression was very calm and solemn.
"Why?"
Cao Cao and many civil and military officers looked at him.
Xi Zhicai took a deep look.
This kid is quite smart, he knows this and lets others make meritorious contributions.
For a while, he had a good impression of Xun Xiao.
I used to think I was arrogant.
I know a little bit of martial arts, but I don't understand people.
Xun Xiao said: "I have to wait for someone." ”
"Waiting for whom?"
Cao Cao frowned.
I'll let you go to Xuzhou to get credit, and after you take it, you can immediately ask the Son of Heaven in Chang'an for a seal! Give you 2,000 stones!
Who are you waiting for!
And don't!
I don't want to live or die!
"Wait for someone, he should be almost back."
Cao Cao rubbed his cheeks and breathed a sigh of relief.
remembered the person Xun Xiao let go at that time.
What is it called?
Changshan Zhao Zilong: yes.
He's a fierce man, but will he really come back?
"Don't wait."
"Will you come back?"
Xun Xiao smacked her lips and said, "It should be willing." ”
"Breaking Xu's work, don't you want to wait for him?"
Cao Cao showed a playful look.
Xun Xiao suddenly gave up his hand indifferently, "I am just a small official under my brother, but I am doing things for the officials to make a living, and I don't want to eat white food at home." ”
"The so-called merit is all good luck."
"Don't be ashamed, don't, I'll wait for him to come."
Xun Xiao's calmness was completely different from this impatient main tent, and it was as if a fresh breeze was blowing by, leaving many people speechless for a while.
Even Xi Zhicai, who just had a little affection for him, had some indescribable irritability and blockage.
You have brothers and best friends!? I didn't?!
Be careful that I call my best friend! I'll wait too!
But he's so handsome.
