Chapter 111: Occupy Shouchun
Cao Yun and the others arrived at the Qingyang military camp, and the 20,000 sergeants had already gathered in the school grounds.
Looking at the high-spirited sergeant, Cao Yun's heart was hot. The sergeants of this era were still simple in temperament, very obedient to military orders, relatively easy to command, and rarely complained.
After recounting the sergeants, Cao Yun immediately gave the order, and the whole army drove to Shouchun City. The generals who followed Cao Yun were Sun Shangxiang, Pang Shiyuan and Xu Shu, who joined the army, also set off together, and Wenpin Zhang Ge continued to guard Qingyang.
At this time, Yangzhou was in Shouchun City, the state government.
"General, our army just has such a few soldiers to defend Shouchun, if the Qingzhou army comes to attack, or Cao Cao and Yuan Shao end the war and send troops to attack, how can we defend it? A lieutenant said in front of Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao was sent by Lu Bu to attack Yangzhou, which can also be called an attack, because after Sun Ce returned to Wuzhou, Yangzhou had no power. Zhang Liao led 12,000 soldiers to capture the cities of Shouchun and Shouchun in a company. There were 4,000 soldiers left in Runan to guard the town, and 8,000 soldiers in Shouchun.
Zhang Liao asked the lieutenant to listen to the words of the lieutenant, and said in a deep voice: "How can you and I know the plan of Lord Zhou Mu. The adults sent us to occupy Yangzhou, and naturally there is a reason for the adults. I think even if the Qingzhou army comes to attack and loses Yangzhou, the adults will not blame us. ”
"General, don't we know the temperament of Lord Governor?He may not blame us and others, but he will~" The lieutenant did not continue.
Zhang Liao's face was cold when he heard this, of course he knew the meaning of this lieutenant's words. This Lu Bu has a big hobby, which is to play with the wives and daughters of his subordinates, as long as the posture is slightly better, they have all been played by Lu Bu. If you make a mistake, let alone give your wife and daughter to Lu Bu to play with it. Zhang Liao's wife was played with by Lu Bu once, that time because Zhang Liao died, Lu Bu personally went to Zhang's mansion to congratulate, saw Zhang's wife, and directly hugged Zhang's wife into a room after getting drunk, but Zhang Liao had to stand outside the house. Listening to the various sounds in the room, Zhang Liao could only grit his teeth and endure all kinds of pain.
Zhang Liao's face changed again and again, "No, I am a major general under Lord Zhoumu, and my lord is a person who wants to achieve great things, and I will not do such things as the heart of a cold minister." ”
"General~" The lieutenant didn't dare to shout.
"Say no more. ”
Drive, drive, drive!
Cao Yun led an army of 20,000 straight across the Cangyan River and rushed towards Shouchun City.
"Newspaper~"
Although Zhang Liao asked his subordinates not to speculate too much, he was very panicked in his heart, and he kept thinking about the night when his wife was humiliated by Lu Bu, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt sulky. At this moment, a soldier came to report the voice, listening to the sound of shouting, Zhang Liao's heart suddenly burst.
"Report ~ My lord, Qingzhou Prefecture Mu Cao Yun personally led an army of 20,000 towards Shouchun. The soldier hurriedly walked up to Zhang Liao and said loudly.
Zhang Liao stood up when he heard this, "Cao Yun?" His expression was very surprised and even a little scared.
Jinkou crosses to the south, and Cao Cao, the army of Xuzhou, is in the main account.
"Ah~" A miserable shout came out, and then several soldiers rushed into Cao Cao's tent, and saw Cao Cao standing with a sword in hand, and a dried corpse on the ground that had been split in half. The soldiers naturally guessed who the dried corpse was, and before the shouts were made, only Cao Cao's personal guards went in to change the lights.
"Your 、、、Excellency, what happened?" asked a soldier, stammering and bowing his head, scared.
Cao Cao raised the Demon Sword, put it in front of his eyes, and replied: "Nothing happened, it's just that this person covered me with a quilt while I was sleeping, and I mistakenly thought it was the person who assassinated me." Take a look at his copywriting and give his family twice as much money. ”
"It's an adult"
Several soldiers then carried the dried corpse out.
Cao Cao got dressed, put the demon slaying sword into the scabbard, walked out of the tent, and looked north. At this time, geese flew in from the north.
"Am I still me?" Cao Cao thought to himself. Cao Cao recalled that when he was the lieutenant of northern Luoyang, he made a five-colored stick and killed the forbidden. remembered that when he was the commander of Dunqiu, he beheaded the county and a corrupt official, and reduced more than half of the people's taxes. I remembered that my greatest ambition at that time was to engrave 'the tomb of Cao Cao, the general of the Han Dynasty's expedition to the west' on the tombstone after his death.
Thinking about it, Cao Cao raised his sword sharply and pointed it at the sky, "Why, why is this done to me?"
This Cao Cao's fate changed but when Ren Dunqiu was ordering, one night, an official came to report the discovery of a mysterious cemetery, and Cao Cao immediately led people to the cemetery. A group of people carried torches into the depths of the cemetery, and after some excavation, they found a large black coffin with four strange heads at the corners of the coffin. Cao Cao ordered the coffin to be opened, however, as soon as the coffin was opened, a large sword rushed out. The big sword flew to kill everyone in an instant, but finally stayed on top of Cao Cao's head, Cao Cao held the hilt of the sword in fear, and inexplicably subdued the black big sword, this black big sword is the demon sword.
After Cao Cao obtained the Demon Suppression Sword, he obtained a Demon Skill from the coffin - Demon Life Yin and Yang Formula. This exercise is extremely ruthless, not only can it absorb people's thoughts, but also absorb people's essence, so under one sword, it will become a dry corpse.
After Cao Cao got the Demon Suppression Sword and the Demon Life Yin and Yang Technique, he first killed the bad guys, then killed the Yellow Turban Thief, then killed the enemy army, and now he has killed the people around him. Killing the guard just now, Cao Cao was completely controlled by his divine sense, and he didn't have any sense.
"Am I still me? Am I a demon?"
At this moment, Guo Jia slowly walked behind Cao Cao and quietly looked at Cao Cao in front of him. Guo Jia is no longer afraid of Cao Cao, because he already has a plan in his heart, and he plans to defect to Cao Yun! The current Cao Cao is no longer the Cao Cao of the past, and he is no longer the Cao Cao who in Guo Jia's opinion has the 'talent of passing through the heavens and latitudes and the earth to clear the ambition of the world'! Therefore, Guo Jia decided to leave, leaving this person who had already entered the devil, and this time he came to ask Cao Cao for sick leave.
"Your Excellency. After a while, Guo Jia spoke up.
"Laugh, you're here. Cao Cao turned his head and said, Cao Cao was still a little rational at this time.
"My lord, tomorrow is the birthday of the old mother in the family, and I hope that my lord will allow me to go back to celebrate my mother's birthday. Guo Jia said respectfully.
Cao Cao smiled lightly when he heard this, and then replied: "Born as a son of man, it is a matter of course to celebrate my mother's birthday, you can go back, but our army is at war with Yuan Shaojun, you have to come back early." ”
"Thank you, sir. ”
Guo Jia asked for his resignation and left. At the moment when Guo Jia turned around, Cao Cao raised the Demon Suppression Sword and was about to slash at Guo Jia.
However, at this moment, the voice of the soldier "Newspaper~" was heard from afar, and Cao Cao regained a little sense, withdrew the demon sword, and Guo Jia was able to leave safely.
Boom Boom!
Cao Yun led the army and hurried to Shouchun City.
Cao Yun has always been thinking about the duel between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, worried that he would miss the opportunity and miss the opportunity to fish in troubled waters when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were in a decisive battle.
Cao Yun thought about fishing in troubled waters, thinking about taking over the world with the power of thunder to avoid falling into a situation of protracted confrontation. He can think of it, and others can think of it, that person is Jia Xu!
The reason why Lu Bu sent troops to capture Yangzhou was Jia Xu's attention. Jia Xu originally worked under Dong Zhuo's account, and after Dong Zhuo was killed, he threw himself under Lu Bu's account. At first, he was not reused by Lu Bu, and the most reused by Lu Bu was Chen Gong, but Chen Gong persuaded Lu Bu many times not to play with his subordinates' wives and daughters, which made Lu Bu upset, so that Jia Xu was able to get a position.
The reason why this Jia Xu was reused by Lu Bu was to present Lu Bu with a few strategies to collect the beauties under his rule, which made Lu Bu happy. Jia Xu is a person who knows how to do what he likes, but he also has real talents, and after being reused by Lu Bu, he presented Lu Bu with a plan to fight for the world. Lü Bu's dispatch of troops to capture Yangzhou was Jia Xu's strategy.
Jia Xu is also like Cao Yun, thinking of taking the world with the power of thunder, because Lu Bu does not have the support of the Fangwai sect, if he waits for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to gain a stable foothold, then Lu Bu will have no chance to compete for the world, and he will never be Cao Cao or Yuan Shao's opponent. Therefore, after Lü Bu led the army from Jian'an back to Donglai to besiege and kill Liu Bei, Jia Xu offered a plan to let Lü Bu occupy Yangzhou, first, to attract the attention of the princes, but Lü Bu personally led the army to quietly rush to Jinkoudu, and the second was to make Yangzhou a buffer to prevent Cao Yun from also taking advantage of the fire to rob, and if Lü Bu was unsuccessful in mending the sparrow, he would be able to transfer to Yangzhou to avoid defeat.
At this time, Lu Bu was on his way to Jinkoudu with his army.
On the walls of Shouchun City.
Zhang Liao stood with a gun in his hand, quietly listening to the report of the lieutenant beside him.
"General, our army only has 8,000 people, but Cao Yun is coming with an army of 20,000, and our army is afraid that it will not be able to hold the city. A lieutenant said behind Zhang Liao.
"General, I really don't understand why the governor sent us to occupy Yangzhou, and only let us come with 12,000 soldiers, how can we defend the city. The other lieutenant said with some dissatisfaction.
Zhang Liao sighed in his heart when he heard this, now most of the soldiers are dissatisfied with Lu Bu, and they no longer worship Lu Bu like they did back then, and treat Lu Bu as a god.
"Newspaper~"
The soldiers galloped to report that Cao Yun's army was only five thousand meters away from Shouchun City, and Zhang Liao's heart suddenly broke out when he heard this, and he didn't know how to make a decision.
"Please also ask the general to make a quick decision, whether to hold the city or retreat to Runan. The two lieutenants asked aloud at the same time.
Zhang Liao's expression changed a few times, he shook the spear in his hand suddenly, and said loudly: "Order the whole army, withdraw from Shouchun, and go to Runan." ”
"Yes"
Drive~Hoo~Hoo~
Cao Yun's army listened to it when it arrived at a distance of a thousand meters from Shouchun City, rested on the spot, and after resting, they were about to launch a fierce attack on Shouchun City.
"My lord, I just don't know if the Lu Bu army in Runan will come to support. Xu Shu dismounted and went to Cao Yun's side and said.
At this time, Pang Shiyuan and Sun Shangxiang also dismounted.
"It doesn't matter if the Runan army comes to support or not, it's only 4,000 people, and it can't control the situation. Pang Shiyuan said arrogantly.
Cao Yun was happy when he heard this, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with Pang Shiyuan's arrogance at this time, after all, if a commander wants to control his subordinates well, he has to let his subordinates have an arrogant capital because of you, a kind of capital that can be crazy in front of others. In this way, every time his subordinates go crazy, they will inevitably deepen their respect and sense of belonging to the commander in their hearts.
"My lord, are we going to attack Shouchun City directly?" asked Xu Shu.
Cao Yun nodded when he heard the words and said: "Don't worry, I will take the lead and fly directly to the tower of Shouchun City to kill the enemy army, and you will lead the army to attack the city in the back, and there should not be too many casualties." We have to take Shouchun City as soon as possible, and then rush to Jinkoudu. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao don't want to end the battle. After Cao Yun finished speaking, he looked at the north with a serious face.
The army rested for an hour, and Cao Yun also breathed cross-legged on the ground for an hour, and the essence and vitality in his body had already reached perfection, just waiting for a battle!
