158 Cao Cao's sorrowful son
Cao Cao asked, who was willing to lead the troops to receive the siege of Yecheng.
These generals present, naturally everyone wants to go.
Su Ming burned the black nest, attacked Yecheng, and killed Yuan Shao, these three things were done.
The credit for this battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's Guandu, Su Ming alone accounted for seventy.
This credit was given to Su Ming alone, and the rest of these generals also had to find a way to make meritorious contributions, right?
Therefore, the biggest credit now is to relieve the siege of Yecheng.
Whoever can lead the troops to relieve the siege of Yecheng and rescue Su Ming can be regarded as a great achievement.
There is less meat and more wolves.
This is the only one thing that works, and these generals under Cao Cao are staring at it.
As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, he saw that the full hall of generals was like dumplings, and he fell to his knees in an uproar.
"The last will go."
"The last will go."
"The last will go."
Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Xuan, Li Dian, Le Jin, Xu Huang, Yu Ban, etc., one after another generals knelt on the ground and begged for their lives.
When Cao Cao saw it, everyone wanted to go.
"Then let's go together!"
"The big guys are going, there are more people going, and being scared can scare Zhang He away?" Cao thought so in his heart.
Cao Cao just wanted to give an order, saying that everyone would go together.
Guo Jia saw Cao Cao's thoughts, and hurriedly spoke to stop him: "Lord, it is important to send troops to save Gongzi. ”
"However, before sending troops to save Childe, you have to send out two soldiers and horses first."
Guo Jia is Cao Cao's number one military advisor, and he will never be untargeted.
So, Cao Cao hurriedly asked: "Fengxiao, what do you think?" ”
Guo Jia strode to the front of the military map, pointed to the location of Yecheng and said, "Lord, if we want to save Yecheng, you have to send two soldiers and horses first." ”
"All the way, I have to guard against the support of the high-ranking cadres of Bingzhou, and I have to support Yecheng with Yuan Tan of Qingzhou all the way."
"Only by sending troops to block the soldiers and horses galloping to the aid of the two states of Heqing can we save the son."
Guo Jia thought to himself, we can't rush straight to Yecheng with our soldiers!
In such a stunned rush, we rushed to Yecheng, beat Zhang He away, and rescued the son.
When the time comes, the senior cadres of the people will be outflanked from Bingzhou, Yuan Tan will be outflanked from Qingzhou, and Yuan Xi will be outflanked from Youzhou.
Even if he saves his son and wins Yecheng, it will make his family surround him.
Cao Cao is also a master of the art of war, as soon as Guo Jia said this, Cao Cao understood what he meant.
So, Cao Cao immediately ordered: "Order Xiahoudun as the main general, Xiahou Yuan as the deputy general, lead 100,000 soldiers and horses, and be responsible for blocking the soldiers and horses of the high-ranking cadres of the state." ”
"Ordered Cao Ren to be the main general, and Cao Chun to be the deputy general, responsible for blocking Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses in Qingzhou."
After sending these two lines of soldiers and horses first, Cao Cao didn't have to worry, his back road was outflanked and surrounded by others.
After the Xiahou brothers and Cao Ren were sent out, Cao Cao decided to personally lead the Chinese army to rescue Su Ming.
Cao Cao is now eager to save his son, he is not at ease who goes, only if he goes in person, he can feel at ease.
Cao Cao personally led the troops to save Su Ming, but he had to send a vanguard officer!
The pioneer officer took the lead in the front, which was to open the road in the mountains and build bridges in the water.
After ruling out any ambush ahead, Cao Cao led the army to hurry with peace of mind.
Cao Cao's strategists were like clouds, and fierce generals were like rain, and he looked around to find the most suitable vanguard officer.
After Cao Cao looked around, he still decided to let Cao Hong be the pioneer officer.
The most elite cavalry under Cao Cao's command was five thousand tigers and leopards.
The 5,000 Tiger and Leopard Riders are divided into 3,000 Leopard Riders and 2,000 Tiger Riders.
The tiger cavalry is a heavy cavalry and is not good at long-distance travel, so Cao Cao decided to lead three thousand leopard cavalry as the vanguard by Cao Hong, and rushed to Yecheng to rescue Su Ming.
"Cao Hong, I order you to lead three thousand leopard cavalry as the vanguard officer."
"You are one person and three horses, day and night non-stop in front of Yecheng!" Cao Cao gave the order.
After this order was issued, Cao Hong gave up his hand and said: "The last general will take the order." ”
From Cao Cao's camp to Yecheng, Cao Cao's army all arrived, and it would take at least five or six days.
If Cao Hong's 3,000 leopard cavalry were to travel day and night, they would have to arrive before Cao Cao's army.
Although the tiger and leopard riders are elite, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to shake Zhang He's 50,000 army with only 3,000 leopard riders.
Therefore, even if Cao Hong rushed to Yecheng first, it could only play a role in relieving Su Ming's pressure and attracting the attention of some of Zhang He's soldiers and horses.
After thinking of this, Cao Cao felt that it was a little inappropriate to only let Cao Hong lead three thousand leopard cavalry as a pioneer officer.
In case, before he led his troops, Zhang He captured Yecheng, then Su Ming would be in danger.
After thinking of this, Cao Cao glanced at the generals under his command again.
Soon, Cao Cao set his sights on Li Dian and Le Jin.
Last time, although Le Jin was captured by Ju Yi because of his rashness.
However, the rash entry also shows that Lejin is a general who dares to fight and kill.
At this time, what Cao Cao wanted to use was this kind of general who dared to kill at all costs.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao issued another order: "Li Dian, where is Lejin?" ”
"I order you two to be the vanguard officers of the second road, I will give you 20,000 cavalry, and I will give you 60,000 war horses from the whole army, and you will also have three horses for each person, and I will rush to Yecheng day and night."
Tiger and leopard riding This is Cao Cao's elite troops, which was originally a configuration of one person and three horses.
However, ordinary cavalry is different.
Ordinary cavalry are all one man and one horse.
There were not many cavalry under Cao Cao, and after Li Dianle got together one person and three horses, it can be said that the good horses in the army were basically given to them.
It can be seen that in order to understand the siege of Yecheng, Cao Cao also tried his best.
"The last general commands!"
"The last general commands!" Li Dian and Le Jin also gave the order.
After sending two vanguard officers one after another, Cao Cao ordered all the troops to pull out the camp and set up the village and cook the pot.
Cook now, set off when you're full, and don't delay for a moment.
Before the meeting ended, Cao Cao's face was solemn again, and his tone was extremely serious and asked the generals under his command: "Do you know about the first priority of this operation?" ”
The generals thought to themselves, my lord, don't sell it, what do you ask us to do, you just say it?
"My lord, please speak, we must keep it in mind!" All the generals said in unison.
Cao Cao walked in front of the generals and said in a serious tone: "In this battle, the first priority is to rescue my son Su Ming." ”
"I don't want Yecheng, but Su Ming must live."
"In this battle, I want to live Su Ming, not die Su Ming."
Before the Great War, Cao Cao said this.
Cao Cao at this moment, not so much that he is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, is that he is a father who is worried about his children.
Cao Hong, Li Dian, and Le Jin, the three pioneer officers, also pondered, this time, the burden of the three of them was particularly heavy.
If Su Ming has any three strengths and two shortcomings, the three of them will not come back, and they will hang themselves directly by looking for a crooked neck outside Yecheng!
