Three days later, when the congratulatory envoy was on his envoy, the outpost in front returned to Xiangyang first and explained the situation in more detail.

The actual situation of Wancheng is that Cao Cao led a small number of troops to ride into the city, and he calculated what he wanted, and he was free to embroider the trap, which not only accepted Zhang Ji's widow, but also subdued the soldiers and horses of Wancheng.

Courage and heroism are unmatched in the world.

This matter has now spread in Nanyang, in order to show Cao Cao's talent, which is rare in the world.

However, it is said that Cao Cao did not like to be praised for this, and only said that it was the work of his advisers Zhang Bochang and Guo Fengxiao.

Later, there was news that in this "wait", at least eight civil and military personnel were omitted.

Hearing these news, Liu Biao sighed with emotion, and couldn't help but look at Cao Cao's estimation in his heart, this Cao Cao is the same as the rumors, taking the lead, daring to skip others, and having the pride to swallow the world.

can be regarded as a hero in the world, no wonder His Majesty has never expressed any dissatisfaction since he entered Xu Capital, and Xu is also touched by Cao Cao's conduct and morality, and he has respect for him.

"Alas," thinking of this, Liu Biao said to the advisers in front of him: "Cao Mengde has the name of benevolence and righteousness, and His Majesty Xu Du has never said that he is slow. ”

"And now with such extraordinary courage and pride, how can you find out what is wrong?"

Liu Biao remembered that he rode into Jingzhou at the beginning, united with the four major clans of Jingzhou, governed the people, locked the Hengjiang River, won public opinion, recruited male soldiers, and made Jingzhou a hermit in the world, and a place for the people to take refuge, so that it is now prosperous.

Ten years younger, he can be as high-spirited and courageous as Cao Cao.

But now, the hard work and prudence can no longer do such heroic acts, so that the followers around them are in danger and the people are not able to govern well.

For a moment, mixed feelings.

Liu Biao didn't know whether to be vigilant and fearful of Cao Cao at this moment, or envy and respect.

Chic and proud, there is no place in the world where I can't go, domineering and heroic.

Entering Wancheng alone, he will plan what he wants, and use himself as bait to lure Zhang Xiu to follow him, so that even if he gets the tens of thousands of Xiliang followers left by Zhang Ji.

Nearly ...... Without much effort, tens of thousands of troops were taken, and even Nanyang County could be occupied.

Because in order to settle Zhang Xiu, Liu Biao had handed over almost half of Nanyang to him, except for the people who had taken it back, the land of the war in the north had been entrusted to Zhang Xiu for defense.

He also gave a lot of food, as well as 30,000 soldiers and horses, which cost a lot of money.

Now, I'm afraid that all of these will also belong to Cao Cao.

"Send a flying horse to catch up with the emissaries and tell them not to mention the repossession of Wancheng."

Liu Biao knew that Nanyang was in the hands of another hero.

Nanyang, a large county with a population of one million, was first plagued by the Yellow Turbans and thieves, and then occupied by Sun Jian's rebellion, and after Sun Jian's death, it was Yuan Shu who got Sun's old department.

Now, Nanyang is no longer prosperous and prosperous, and after several twists and turns, it has come into the hands of Cao Cao.

Liu Biao still remembers that Cao Cao had millions of tun people in his hands, and many of them were rewarded as residents of a place over the years, but there were also many people who were surrendered and homeless.

The Cao family is in Nanyang, which can be said to have a lot to do, and now Jingzhou can't immediately turn against it, I'm afraid it still needs to wait for the opportunity.

……

Wancheng.

In the camp outside the city, Zhang Han personally led the army to be stationed here to train some of Zhang Xiu's Wancheng soldiers and horses.

At present, most of the remnants of the soldiers are still being treated, and those who cannot be taken with the army as cantonments, or who can no longer work at all, will be paid severance pay.

The rest of the soldiers were running laps in the camp's spacious schoolyard, and among them was an elderly scribe.

"Hurry up! Hasten!! ”

"No dinner for the last night!" Zhang Han and Dian Wei drank loudly on the high platform to select the elite warriors with long strength.

The treatment will also vary depending on whether you are selected or not.

But everyone doesn't know why Jia Junshi is also among them.

After Dian Wei finished shouting this sentence, the old man in the inner robe fell directly to the ground.

Zhang Han pointed and said, "Help him up, help him up!" Finish the run! ”

"No, no, no, no......"

Jia Xu hurriedly waved his hand, and the last trace of strength was spent, and he shouted vigorously: "Junhou! In the next, in the next is not good at this! ”

"Prince, Prince......"

Jia Xu's voice became smaller and smaller, this school field was very large, so it could not be transmitted to such a distance, he could only whisper to the soldiers on both sides: "Two brothers, can you let me go and see Zhang Junhou......"

"No," the soldier holding him next to him replied directly and coldly.

Jia Xu didn't know why their thirty-seven-degree mouths could say such cold words.

Then dragged him alive to run the entire school field for ten laps, sweating profusely and trembling in two streams.

Jia Xu had bruises all over his body, and there were wounds on the tip of the gun under his ribs, although Zhang Han said that he avoided the sharp point of the tip of the gun at that time, but after all, he picked people away, where could there be no scars.

After he finished running, he was already lying on the ground dying, feeling that his soul was flying out of the sky, and he had completely lost his strength.

It was already sunset, and he had been treated as a prisoner of war for three days in this so-called selection camp, and I don't know if Cao Gong knew about it.

"It is said that Cao Gong is said to be a person who is thirsty for talents and cherishes talents as his life, and is the most courteous and virtuous corporal......"

"These people treat me like this, if he knows if he can say a few words for me, these young people are really vicious and disrespectful to the old sages, and they will treat me like this, and it will be very damaging to Cao Gong's reputation."

Jia Xu thought about it complicatedly, and in a moment, Zhang Han and Dian Wei had already come closer.

"Junhou, even if it is rectified, now, it is almost okay now......"

"There is no enmity between you and me, and the opposite of that day has nothing to do with me, but the young general is young and vigorous, so it has to be like this."

"He doesn't have anything to eat at night, this is a rule to be followed," Zhang Han pointed at Jia Xu and ordered the generals who were in charge of training on the left and right.

In the entire military camp, even Jia Xu can't complete it, and others can pass physical training at worst, but they can't be selected into the elite.

"Prince!" Jia Xu was bitter when he heard his words, and his face was full of discomfort, "I am just a minister, where I offended the prince, it is better to say it clearly!" My wife is in Wancheng, and I have to be treated well by Cao Gong, and they still think that I am now on an errand in the camp! ”

"Corporal Cao Gong Lixian, the reputation he has earned over the years, if the prince and marquis are so foolish, won't it gradually be lost!?"

"I am conceited and excellent in learning, and I can assist the left and right, why do you have to train with the soldiers?"

"Oh," Zhang Han looked straight and stood up with his hands: "Military Chinese Aid, Gongcao, Master Book, what position is Mr. willing to take?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at the handsome young man on his left and introduced: "This is Cao Ang, the eldest son of the Cao family, if Mr. can offer advice and show his talents, maybe he will be favored, and he can be a strategist and a minister, and he will be exempted from the labor of training." ”

"Good!" Jia Xu gritted his teeth, nodded and agreed, if it was about the situation in the world and governance strategies, he was confident that he could say an answer that satisfied Zhang and Cao.

After a while, when everyone arrived at the main tent, Jia Xu's strength still did not recover, and even his hands and feet began to ache.

Zhang Han sat on the main seat, Dian Wei and Cao Ang left and right, staring at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was also stunned, what kind of status is this?

The three of you, Dian Wei is the nominal leader and commander, and Zhang Han is just the military advisor and the marching Sima of the army.

However, the eldest son of the Cao family is on the left, and Dian Wei is on the right.

Zhang Han is in the main position...... But if it is by force, it is clear that Dian Wei and Zhang Han are guarding Cao Ang, Cao Cao must have this mind, and use the two members to protect his sister-in-law from injury, and he can continue to accumulate military merits.

In the future, when Cao Cao gets old, there are Zhang and Dian to protect him, and Cao Ang can take over without any worries, so that he can display his talents.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu was twisting his beard, and suddenly paused, and looked at the three of them with sharp eyes, but he had some new ideas in his heart.

Cao's, long also.

Yuan Shao has three sons, and the two sons of Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are famous, which shows that when Chang'an was in Chang'an, Yuan Shao deliberately created momentum for his two sons, taking the meaning of fame and merit.

I also heard that Yuan Shao loves his youngest son Yuan Shang the most, and the three sons have all merits, plus most of the civil and military affairs that he follows come from major families......

This is the prototype of factional rivalry, and it is a derivative land.

From this point of view, it is not as good as Cao Gong in the long run.

For the sake of children and grandchildren, we should plan far-reaching, and build a solid foundation, instead of grabbing a lot of merits for them, so that young people exaggerate.

"The eldest prince, Zhang Junhou, dare to ask what is the entrance examination?"

Jia Xu's mood gradually calmed down and asked him.

Zhang Han looked left and right, and asked lazily and leisurely: "Then let's talk about how to defeat Yuan Shao in Hebei." ”

Jia Xu's shoulders relaxed, and he said helplessly: "Junhou, can you discuss some practical ......?"

Your question is too much, and besides, this is just a question and answer for entering the Chinese job.

Is the threshold for the Wen genus in your camp so high?!

What are you asking?

If I can answer this, do you have the face to do this?

Don't even have a face!

"Can't answer? It's too inferior, Dian Wei took him back to run laps. ”

"A-a-a!!" Jia Xu nodded hurriedly like pounding garlic, and then thought hard.

Yuan Shao lived in Hebei, took Youzhou and Qingzhou, and after collecting enough of Gongsun Zhan's subordinates, it can be said that he is in full swing, and he is afraid that Bingzhou will also fall into his collection.

In addition to their own military strength, there are also the remnants of the Saiwai Hu Cavalry and the White Wave who obey the order, and their momentum should be greater than the surface.

In addition, both Qingdao and Hebei prefectures are easy to go south, although there is no natural danger to defend, but most of the rivers flow to the south.

It is quite easy to transport grain from the branches of the Yellow River Valley, so the food in Yuan Shao's army must be worry-free, and the army should be able to deploy many times as much as Cao's army, relying on Wei County to fight southward, and the place of the army should be ......

Jia Xu frowned, thought carefully about the map, and came to the conclusion that it was Liyang.

And the Cao family, who has been garrisoning Puyang in Dongjun for many years, cannot be moved, and the riverbank ferry has also been lost and recovered many times, and will not let go.

From this point of view, they have to rely on Puyang, Yingshui, Jishui, and Bianshui, all of which are methods of transporting grain, and the transportation of water and land should be very fast, and there is no worry about grain and grass.

The real key lies in the fact that the official crosses the water.

The ferry port on the Guandu water, which has crossed a large area of plains on both sides of the river, will be the main battle place, but the battlefield can only accommodate more than 10,000 people.

Jia Xu understands this truth very well, the battlefield is so big, and it is impossible to find a bigger battlefield by detouring and dividing the troops.

The place where the two armies are fighting can only accommodate 10,000 people, so even if the army brings a million, it is only 10,000 soldiers and horses to fight, and 990,000 energetic soldiers and horses to be replaced.

The general trend should be like this, and it is not clear, and it can only be said that there is a fight.

But from this point of view, the Cao family is by no means a lamb to be slaughtered, and it cannot compete with Yuan Shao.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu understood that Zhang Han's understatement was to let himself think about the strengths and weaknesses of the two families.

Moreover, this kind of thinking does not need him to mention much, or even need to say more, he needs to think about it himself.

Because of the situation that he analyzed and judged, Fang is the most convinced.

Jia Xu had never thought about this matter before, and he always felt that Yuan Shao, who was in Hebei today, was the master.

But after the changes in Wancheng, Cao Gong advanced and retreated freely, and his military forces were so strong, and he had a far-sighted plan to use a Bai Ding junior like Zhang Han.

The so-called "meritocracy", "don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people", only to see the true character of heroes.

In this way, the battle between the north and south of the river should be a battle between "domestic celebrities" and "meritocracy", which is quite a big and fierce collision.

When it is a big war that will be famous for the ages, Zhang Bochang ...... It is to persuade me to go to this turbulent tide and turn the water and waves.

"Win against Yuan Shao, in order to take the elite, the top and bottom have the same desire, to attack the wide, to stick to the chaos, Yuan Shao must not be obtained."

"The key is to cross the river."

Zhang Han and Cao Ang glanced at each other, their eyes were quite interested, and they asked again: "What do you mean by crossing the river?" ”

Jia Xu's face was serious, he stroked his beard, his eyes were slightly empty, his thin skin trembled several times, and he was thinking deeply, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "With the Yellow River as the boundary, if Yuan Shao crosses the river to attack, he can fight." ”

"If you don't cross the river, you can continue to develop to the south, accumulate grain and grass to prepare for war, and now the advantage is that Cao Gong is like a subject to the Son of Heaven, respectful and not rebellious, and has a good reputation, Yuan Shao will definitely be anxious."

"Once he is in a hurry, he doesn't want to be edicted anymore, and he will definitely look for an opportunity to fight."

"From the point of view below, the two Yuan brothers are no longer willing to be constrained by the Han court, but Yuan Shao has many famous people under his command, and he has to take care of it, and I expect that Yuan Shu will usurp first."

"To guard against Hebei, you only need to add troops and horses at the ferry along the river, and use the edict of the Son of Heaven to clamp it down."

"Take precautions against Yangzhou Huainan first! Take the land of Yuanshu! In this way, the prestige of the Han court is even more promoted, and there are countless people and money! ”

"After that, he secretly recuperated and recuperated, but in fact, he accumulated troops, showed weakness to the outside world, withdrew the big river crossing, and recaptured the tributary crossing. Lead Yuan Shao to cross the river and attack, so that he has no way to retreat from the riverbank, and the grain and grass need to be transported and hoarded on the other side of the river, which is taboo. ”

"And the key is to cross the river! When Yuan Shao crossed the river, it was where the strategy of the war was, the army crossed the river without a way out, the grain and grass were destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of lives could be burned, but ...... Will there be such an opportunity in real combat? ”

Jia Xu's eyes were full of light, but he still felt that the opportunity was very slim......

After all, Yuan Shao's conspirators, and there are also many strange people in the world, if they gather together on the battlefield, they are not weaker than Cao Gong's Chinese martial arts.

He looked into the distance in amazement, only feeling that although his heart was excited, he couldn't imagine the details.

Because these are just military strategies to enjoy, foresee and speculate, and they are far from the time to make assertions.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the most taboo for plotters is "firmness" and "assertion", and they should always keep the heart to seize the opportunity to change.

This point, he is completely different from Guo Jia, Guo Jia's plan is heroic, once the conclusion is made, he will forge ahead bravely and achieve it.

Jia Xu is cautious, always paying attention to changes in the current situation, and constantly revising his strategy to ensure that the enemy has no possibility of turning over.

However, at this time, his eloquent military remarks had already made Cao Ang deeply admired, if it weren't for Zhang Han's presence, he would really have to come forward to worship Mr.

Because the basis for these general trend judgments should all come from Jia Xu's intelligence in Chang'an, and he deduced it himself, and this vision is unparalleled in the world.

He hadn't even dabbled in a lot of Cao Ying's secret information.

At this time, Zhang Han nodded and said, "That's a good point, then let's run half less tomorrow." ”

"Huh!?" Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, then glared at Zhang Han angrily, and pointed: "Young man, you have to respect the elderly!" ”

"I really can't discipline me in this army......"
