No one thought of this.

At the banquet that was originally happy, with enough wine and meat, and singing and dancing, Cao Cao suddenly changed his attitude.

Directly threaten everyone with explicit words.

But it has to be said.

This works surprisingly well.

Everyone has been used to enjoying themselves for half their lives, even if the three brothers Zhang Jiao led the Yellow Turban Army to wreak havoc on the entire Kanto region, with the identity of everyone present, they have long run away.

I haven't suffered much.

Not to mention the threat of knives and guns.

Therefore, Cao Cao was unusual, which really frightened everyone, and they didn't dare to jump out of the top tank at this time, otherwise they would probably be used to sacrifice the flag.

And Yuan Yi, who was the chief guard of the county, looked at the situation in front of him, not only did he not feel angry in his heart.

On the contrary, there is some relief.

This Cao Mengde is really a little different from ordinary people.

can be so decisive and determined, and he really has the demeanor of an ancient general.

For now.

The Qingzhou Yellow Turban, which is raging throughout Yanzhou, may really be able to be pacified by Cao Cao in one fell swoop.

And in the middle of the audience.

Maybe Cao Ang is the only one, his mentality is relatively relaxed, and he even laughs secretly in his heart.

Such a move at this moment.

It was he and his father Cao Cao who discussed it on the way here, and the father and son were not good at each other, one racing the other with a black belly.

The two of them also know what kind of virtue these local families are, and they are all people who take care of their heads and tails.

Unless the enemy has already fought under the city, they will not be willing to give their last breath.

Even if the enemy is in a city in the north, there will definitely be local forces who are lucky, and sometimes these local factions are so clear-minded.

And as the Yanzhou pastor who leads Yanzhou.

Cao Cao wants to take care of the whole situation, and he wants to keep every piece on the chessboard as much as possible.

Therefore, such an act by local forces is extremely undesirable for the Cao family.

Therefore, it is necessary to squeeze out the power of the thieves before they go to war.

So on the way here.

Cao Ang and Cao Cao will assume all kinds of possible scenarios, preset all kinds of dialogues in advance, and even the action of drawing a sword and cutting the corner of the table is designed by Cao Ang for Cao Cao in advance.

It looks majestic and domineering.

And there will be no hurt and anger.

Just right!

As for whether such a threat today will leave a thorn in everyone's hearts and cause them to have different hearts in the future, Cao Ang is not worried.

The Cao family's goal is the sea of stars.

It's the whole Han world.

After growing up rapidly, these families who are entrenched in a county land are at best nothing.

Dare to stretch out his paws to a lone wolf, this is bravery.

If you dare to stretch out your claws to the white-fronted tiger, you must be sick.

……

Over the next few days.

The entire Changyi County suddenly became busy.

Several major local forces are full of enthusiasm and have done things according to Cao Cao's instructions.

I am afraid that because I am negligent, my family will be arrested and become a sacrifice for Cao Cao to kill chickens and monkeys.

Many families contribute money and food.

In the name of donations, they were given to Cao Cao to pay the salaries of the soldiers in the army, and these families were often generous, and the money was thrown box by box, just to be able to leave a good impression in Cao Cao's heart.

Besides.

These families have sent their sons and daughters.

Go to the major counties of Shanyang County and several surrounding counties, contact the families in those cities, and bring Cao Cao's will.

At the same time, they also make full use of the connections of these families themselves to ask for support from other major cities.

With the advent of these local sitting tigers.

It's a lot easier.

For example, Gaoping County, where the big families in Shanyang County gathered, sent people to send letters one after another, saying that they would definitely lead the disciples and clan children to come over and participate in the war as soon as possible.

Even with Ren Chengguo, Pei County and Feng County in the south, and Lu State in the east, there were movements.

……

It is worth mentioning.

Under such high efficiency.

Among the forces that came to defect to the Cao family and wanted to participate in the battle against the Yellow Turbans, another name appeared that Cao Ang was extremely familiar with.

Li Dian Li Mancheng.

This buddy Cao Ang is more familiar.

Although he is not one of Cao Wei's five good generals, he is also a relatively high-ranking and talented general in the entire Cao family's military system.

This man does not rely on recklessness to march and fight.

It's quite a bit of a wise general.

In many battles large and small in his life, he has fully demonstrated his level of strategy, and he can be called a talented person.

And Cao Ang was the most impressive.

It is Li Dian who understands righteousness, does not compete with others, has the demeanor of an elder, and can put aside personal grievances in the face of major events.

It's a great character.

According to the original historical development.

Because Chen Gong and Zhang Miao turned their backs on their father Cao Cao, sacrificed Yanzhou, and took Lu Bu as the lord of Yanzhou, which led to the fall of various counties and counties in Yanzhou.

And the Juye Li family is a big local family.

In the face of Lu Bu's later surrender, he resolutely refused.

Li Gan and others were killed because of this.

It is because of such an incident.

led to a deep blood feud between Li Dian and Zhang Liao, which belongs to the kind of people who meet on weekdays and will not say hello, if it weren't for everyone working together in Cao Wei's camp, I'm afraid they would have done it a long time ago.

However, it is such a blood feud.

Li Dian can also put it aside for the sake of the overall situation.

The famous Battle of Hefei.

It was precisely because Li Dian gave up his suspicions, unreservedly supported Zhang Liao, and led his troops to fight Sun Quan together.

In order to prompt Zhang Liao to break through the 100,000 army with 800 people, he was able to shock Xiaoyaojin and stop the crying of Jiangdong children.

Such a general.

Cao Ang is more appreciative.

However, after thinking about it, Cao Ang still pressed it for the time being to contact this kid's mind.

The main thing is that this guy is quite young.

At present, he is following his uncle Li Gan, and it is Li Gan who led the troops to defect to Cao Cao.

Li Dian still needs to go through a while more.

It is more suitable to be placed under the hands of his father Cao Cao, and when Li Dian grows up in the future, he will be almost half taken over.

With a random order, you can transfer this kid to your command, which can be said to be no difficulty.

…………

Under the intense preparation.

The power gathered by the entire Shanyang County is rapidly expanding, and Changyi County, where Cao Cao's father and son are located, has gathered people from all walks of life in a short period of time.

In addition to the 20,000 troops led by their father and son, there were also more than 10,000 people who defected from all over the world.

Among them, Li Gan alone carried thousands of guests, which can be regarded as the largest one.

Fanghe County and Gaoping County, which are located in the central part of Shanyang County, also gathered several troops, and when Cao Cao passed the news, he would immediately lead his troops to move and join Cao Cao's army.

And a few days later.

The arrival of a large army made Cao Cao feel overjoyed.

Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao and Guangling guarded Zhang Chao, the two brothers brought a total of 15,000 soldiers and horses, and they also came from Chenliu County.

It was definitely a bonus.

Because Chenliu County is still behind Jiyin County, Chenliu County, as the county governance, is even more western, and the distance between it and Changyi County is a little farther.

If you lead a large army to come, the time spent on the road will definitely not be short.

It's like Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, who had already received a letter from Cao Cao asking for help, but he hadn't been able to arrive yet, so Cao Cao didn't expect Zhang Miao to appear.

But he didn't expect that the two brothers would come earlier than he expected, which was indeed a bit of a surprise.

……

"Meng Zhuo, Meng Gao, the two of you are really timely, now is the time when there is a shortage of people, with the help of the two of you, presumably the possibility of our army's success in defeating the ant thieves will greatly increase!"

Assassin in the house.

Cao Cao smiled.

A smiling voice bowed to the two.

And the brothers returned the salute.

Zhang Miao said with a smile: "Brother Meng De is now the pastor of Yanzhou, and he is a subordinate official, the state pastor has an order, I am just a small Chen Liujun guard, how can I disobey the order?" ”

A little joke.

It made several people present laugh.

It can also be seen from this that the relationship between Zhang Miao and Cao Cao is still very close, and if you can make such a joke, its closeness is not comparable to others.

Of course.

After the joke.

Zhang Miao still explained to Cao Cao very seriously.

"Actually, before I received your letter from Brother Meng De, I had already set off with Meng Gao with my troops, and the two of us met your envoy halfway through."

"The reason why I ordered troops to come to Changyi County early is actually because we were both born in Shouzhang County, and our clan roots are there."

"Liu Gongshan was defeated by thieves, which led to the fall of Shouzhang County, and the entire county was probably destroyed.

"After thinking about it, I really feel uneasy, and now that I am participating in the crusade against the Yellow Turbans, if I can defeat the thieves and kill the thieves, it can be regarded as comforting my father and fellow villagers, and the children of the clan!"

……

Cao Cao suddenly realized in his heart.

The two brothers were born in the Shou Zhang clan.

Although he is in another county, his roots are unchanged, and at first he should not have expected Liu Dai to lose so badly and lose so quickly.

In addition, he really didn't want to get involved with Liu Dai, so he didn't send troops at all.

But now Shouzhang County has been breached.

If the two of them didn't know what to do, they continued to sleep peacefully in Chenliu County.

I'm afraid that will be somewhat criticized.

That's why this time came into play.

Cao Cao didn't care about this.

He doesn't care why these people come here, in short, he dedicates his own strength, and doesn't hold everyone back, that's enough!

One more person, one more chance of winning.

…………

On the night of Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao's arrival.

Cao Cao once again held a banquet.

There is enough wine and meat, but things like song and dance performances are more sloppy, and after a hurried pass, Cao Cao waved back.

"Huh!"

With a bang.

The screen behind Cao Cao was flipped over, revealing a map attached to it.

It is a map of Sanyo-gun with relatively high accuracy.

"Smack!"

Cao Cao slapped his face.

made everyone who had just drunk a few sips of wine sober up in an instant.

Of course.

Everyone actually guessed that Cao Cao's main purpose for holding this banquet tonight was to discuss the next plan, so he didn't drink much.

Compared to the last banquet.

This time there were a lot more people.

The entire hall of the Assassin's Mansion was full, and they all sat and looked at Cao Cao.

After seeing everyone concentrated.

There was a look of satisfaction in Cao Cao's eyes.

He immediately arched his hand to the left and right.

Then Lang said: "Today, I am fortunate to have the two brothers Zhang Taishou of Chenliu County, leading 15,000 elite soldiers to come here to support. ”

"Now there are nearly 50,000 troops in Changyi County, and the ant thieves are only 150,000 or 60,000, and our army has the strength to fight."

"And in Fanghe County and Gaoping County, there are also hundreds of elite soldiers from Lu and Pei, and there are nearly 10,000 people gathered!"

Speaking of which.

Cao Cao paused slightly.

Look at the looming joy on everyone's faces.

He immediately added another chip.

"In addition, Taishan County Taishou Yingshao and Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin have already sent me a reply, saying that they are on the way to lead the troops."

"Although it may not be possible to meet our army before the enemy army arrives, it is enough to go around the back of the enemy army, and if there is an opportunity, you can flank our army in front and rear, and you will definitely be able to break the thieves!"

……

"Good!"

I don't know who started it.

In short, after this cheer.

Everyone in the hall was smiling, and one after another was cheering and shouting.

It's as if the battle has been won.

However, although the war has not yet begun.

But just listening to Cao Cao's analysis and comparison, everyone felt that they had already won the game.

Don't say anything else.

There are as many as 70,000 or 80,000 people in our own forces alone, and the enemy has only doubled, and the gap between us and the enemy is very small.

Besides, their opponent is the Yellow Turban Thief.

A group of undisciplined, not to mention any well-equipped outcasts, 108,000 miles away from the regular army, the combat effectiveness of the legion is really too far behind.

However, the difference in strength is only twice as much.

If you can't win it.

Then let's just wipe your neck with a knife.

looked at the happy appearance of everyone in the audience.

Cao Cao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

Again, this was intentional.

Before the battle, confidence is very important, and everyone must know that the battle will be won, and the morale will be strong when the war begins.

Of course.

Faith is not the same as complacency.

If the self-confidence is too much, resulting in all kinds of stupid tricks, it will become the second Liu Dai.

……

So wait until everyone calms down a little.

Cao Cao's hands pressed down slightly.

Motioned for everyone to be quiet.

completely stopped their excitement.

Then he said meaningfully: "Our army has the possibility of a great victory over the enemy, but we must not take it lightly, and everything must be done with caution." ”

"After all, although the enemy army is just a thief, if it is not dealt with properly, it will also lead to a lot of losses in our army.

As soon as the words fell.

Everyone was in awe.

They may not take anything else to heart.

But when it comes to taking the loss yourself.

Then the spirit came up for the first time.

If this battle is not fought well, and something goes wrong, then the losses caused by the mistakes caused by it will be borne by yourself.

I really can't bear this.

Therefore, Cao Cao only finished speaking.

Someone at the bottom immediately chimed in: "What the prince said is very true, we must be careful, and we must not be careless against the enemy, otherwise we will bury the lives of our children in vain, and the gains will outweigh the losses!" ”

looked at the crowd and applauded again.

Cao Cao suddenly felt a little amused.

This human heart is indeed a wonderful thing.

Most of the people present were just some fresh faces who had not known each other for a few days.

But under the guidance of his words.

But he has become his most solid supporter, and he supports his resolutions and statements.

Tut!

Interesting.

……

After pinching everyone's emotions back and forth.

Cao Cao first patted the map on the screen.

Then he pointed to Cao Ang on the side with his left hand.

"Marching and fighting, it's not my forte, and then my son will inform you of the next strategic arrangements!"

At first glance.

Everyone present was in awe.

Before the battle of Liqiu County, the vast majority of people here didn't know what Cao Ang's identity was.

Even if you have heard of his name.

It is mostly because of Cao Cao's reputation, or because there are news channels in Luoyang and other places, and he knows the name of Cao Ang's Han Dynasty loyalty.

But after the defeat of the Yellow Turban Thieves.

It was different in an instant.

This is our Yanzhou famous general!

It is also the most solid guarantee for the current ability of your own army to fight the Yellow Turban thieves and have a high probability of winning.

There are gods descending to lead the team.

Why can't you win?

The crowd didn't say a word.

Hurriedly found bamboo slips or cloth silks, ready to record Cao Ang's strategic arrangements.

……

Cao Ang glanced up at Cao Cao.

I saw my father winking at him.

knew that this was Lao Cao paving the way for him.

Regarding the strategic arrangements for this battle, as early as a few days ago, the father and son, together with Xun You and others, had already made detailed arrangements.

Basically, Cao Cao knew everything about the plan.

But now he is saying that "marching and fighting, not my strength", isn't this paving the way for himself?

Our dad is still good!

It's not in vain that I have to work hard to be a son.

Neither did he delay.

Three or two steps to the front and back of the stage, arched his hand to everyone, and received a return gift.

Then he pointed to the location of Changyi County.

"From Shouzhang County all the way south to the location of Changyi County, it is very empty, and there are no other cities except for the only few county seats."

"So once the ant thieves lead their troops south, they will have a long period of time, and they will not be able to obtain any food, grass and troops."

"Then what we have to do is to push the battle site forward and pull out a front in Juye County, Jinxiang County, and Kangfu County in Renchengguo."

"As long as these cities can be defended, the enemy will not be given the slightest chance to go south, and they will not have the opportunity to obtain any food, grass and troops from them."

"Then I assert that they will be defeated!"

……

Everyone took notes.

He nodded his head again and again.

Cao Ang's truth is actually not profound.

But if you know a little bit of military strategy, you can understand the reason, there are only three such cities between Shouzhang County and Changyi County, and they are generally arranged from northwest to southeast.

It can be connected in a line.

As long as this line can be tightened, and the three nails that go down on it are firmly nailed, it is equivalent to making an iron lock across the river.

No one wants to cross the chain and go south.

The most important thing is to defend these three cities.

The enemy cannot obtain food and grass supplies.

There is always a time when the food that was stolen before will be eaten up, not to mention that the number of enemy troops is so huge, and the consumption of food is even more exaggerated.

As long as you can drag it out.

Under the trade-off.

The enemy will blow up!

Cao Ang was between three words.

The strategic planning and analysis given was immediately recognized by everyone.

It also made everyone present recognize a fact.

When the world is a famous general, it really deserves its name!

……

And that's not all.

Cao Ang then pointed to the three cities.

"Juye County is surrounded by Onozawa, leaving only the southern side of the exit, and the enemy army needs to go around in a circle to reach Juye County, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so there is not much pressure on this place."

"Kangfu County, on the other hand, is located in the southeast, which is the farthest away and relatively safe."

"Only Jinxiang County is due south, and it stands on the plain, there are no barriers on all sides, and this place will definitely become a place to face the enemy's soldiers."

"Therefore, among these three cities, Jinxiang County must be garrisoned with heavy troops and defended by generals, and more than 10,000 troops can be arranged to defend the east and west cities."

"The specific arrangements for leading the troops, after the banquet, in the next few days, I will send people to you, and I hope that after you get the order, you will be ready immediately, without the slightest delay!"

Cao Ang's face was serious.

The expression is solemn.

Everyone stood up one after another.

Although Cao Ang does not belong to their superiors, in the face of this young talent who has already shown the clues of the world's famous generals, how dare everyone slack off.

Immediately clenched his fists.

Everyone bowed and saluted.

"We will obey the order!"
