Chapter 82: Soldiers meet each other

"What? you...... You...... Actually sent troops to attack Cao Cao?" I was shocked. When I returned to Xuzhou City, the first major thing I heard was that in my absence, Liu Bei sent 100,000 troops to attack Cao Cao.

The coach is Liu Bei, and the pioneer is Lu Bu.

"I know that you still think Cao Cao is a brother, but now in the world of great contention, either you die or I live. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao want to pacify the north, Jingzhou Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu united us to fight Cao Cao, the opportunity is fleeting, this world is a pot of porridge, and the winner is always the king in troubled times. ”

Xiao Hanyi stood in front of a huge topographical map of the Han Dynasty and talked eloquently. Sun Gan, Chen Deng and other strategists are all here, and they all advocate sending troops, not to mention that the soldiers and horses have been gone for three days, but I can't say anything more.

I knew in my heart that it was only a matter of time before there would be a battle with Cao Cao.

"Aren't you a disciple of the Mo family, don't you advocate war?" I teased Xiao Hanyi.

"The princes rise together and do not attack each other, this is just an ideal state. Nowadays, the Han Dynasty is unstable, and the Son of Heaven is powerless to divide the power, and the situation is similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Historically, the Mo family could not stop the invasion of the city, and today the Mo family is in decline, and it is even more impossible to stop it. can only hope that there will be a bright monarch in the world, and the people will be safe if the world is peaceful. ”

His words suddenly reminded me of Xu Shao's evaluation of Cao Cao in Runan City that day: "A capable minister who rules the world, a hero in troubled times." ”

"Then you mean that the Mo family will ignore the battle of the princes in the future?"

"In a war, the Mo family will not intervene; if you kill innocent people, such as Cao Cao's great injustice of slaughtering the city, the Mo family will stop it even if you die. If you want to kill the people, you have to step on the corpses of the Mo family first!" Xiao Hanyi said solemnly.

Suddenly, I felt that Xiao Han's clothes had changed, and in the troubled times, a book was born into a strategist who fought for the world. He has the ideals of the Mo family in his heart, and he has his own feelings for his family and country.

For the next few days, I was like an ant on a hot pan. The battle reports in front are frequent: Cao Cao led a large army to attack Zhang Xiu, thinking that Zhang Xiu was known as the "Gun King of the North", and his marksmanship was no less than any famous general in the world, but he was repeatedly defeated, and saw that Cao Cao was powerful, and later surrendered to Cao Cao; So, Cao Cao gathered 200,000 soldiers and horses in the southwest and killed Xiapicheng under the rule of Xuzhou. Lü Bu sent the general Gao Shun to fight with him, and Cao Xing shot Xiahoudun blind in one eye, and Cao Cao's army was defeated and won the first battle.

The news is mixed. On the battlefield in ancient times, it was mainly suppressed by the number of generals and troops, such as the "handing over and fighting strategy" mentioned in the "Art of War", which was mostly used to contain each other and balance the interests of the princes. If nothing happens in this battle, Cao Cao will not be my opponent, and in terms of military generals, I have three brothers, Lu Bu, Liu Guan, and Zhang, not to mention Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zang Ba, and other brothers, Cao Cao will not be able to defeat them; in terms of soldiers and horses, I have soldiers and horses in Qing and Xuzhou, with a total number of 500,000.

But life is always full of surprises.

Taking advantage of the battle between Cao Cao and me, Yuan Shao raised 150,000 troops and attacked Gongsun Zhan. At that time, Gongsun Zhan built the Yijing Tower in Yijing, Youzhou, and stored 300,000 stones of grain to defend himself. However, when Cao Cao attacked, the city was besieged, and Gongsun Zhan was asked to rescue, but he refused to send troops. The reason is: "If I save one person, once all the cities are besieged in the future, they will count on me to come and save and refuse to fight to the death, how can I resist Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses?"

The generals sent by Gongsun Chan to defend the camp in the south knew that they could not hold on, and they knew that no one would come to their rescue, so some surrendered and some scattered. Yuan Shao's army drove straight into the city and arrived at the gate of Yijing City. Gongsun Zhan persevered in the difficulty, and the flying horse broke through to me for help, and his letter read: "Yuan Shao's attack seems to be like a ghost, and it is difficult to resist. At night, I suddenly heard the drum horn sounding in the ground, and the cloud ladder was erected on my Yijing Tower. I really don't know how to defend it, please Brother Duan must send someone to rescue him and pull Brother Dao!"

His words are sincere, and I am concerned about Zhao Yun's safety, how can I not save him?

At that time, I also stationed 100,000 soldiers and horses on the border of Qingzhou, which was originally set up to prevent Yuan Shao. I immediately called Xiao Hanyi to discuss with him.

"It's not that we can't help, it's that we can't do anything. Xiao Hanyi took the letter and read it carefully.

"Didn't we release 100,000 soldiers and horses on the Qingyou Border?" I said urgently.

"You have been out these days, I don't know, the Qingzhou soldiers and horses were originally composed of the Yellow Turban Army, and now the world is in chaos, and many people in this army have returned to their hometowns to take care of their families. At that time, we said that all the brothers could go back on their own, and they would not be forced to do so. Who would have thought that half of this walk would be taken, and now there are only 150,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Qingzhou. This time to attack Cao Cao, and sent more than 200,000 troops, most of Xuzhou had just been slaughtered by Cao Cao, and there were not many soldiers and horses. ”

I collapsed on the seat all of a sudden: "So, Gongsun Chan is in danger!"

"The key to victory or defeat lies in whether Gongsun Chan can hold Yuan Shao back, and wait for us to win Cao Cao and then help him. If Gongsun Zhan still just can't hold on and doesn't want to find a way to effectively stop Yuan Shao's attack, then let alone him, it will be difficult for me to protect Qing and Xuzhou. ”

I didn't understand this, but when I heard what he said, I said, "What about today?"

"I will repair a letter in your name, and I will say that reinforcements are coming, which will boost the morale of Gongsun Zhan and let him find a way to hold Yuan Shao back. On the side of Picheng, let Lu Bu speed up the attack and strive to break Cao in one fell swoop. ”

"Well, that's it. I sighed.

But bad news followed, there were many soldiers and a lot of food in Xiapi City, and they held on until Cao Cao ran out of food, and when he retreated, he could defeat Cao Cao's 200,000 soldiers and horses. I don't know which god-killing strategist gave Cao Cao an idea, so that the water of the Yi and Si rivers broke the embankment, flooded the city of Xiapi, the people and soldiers fled separately, Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to attack, and Lu Bu's soldiers and horses were defeated. Liu Bei led the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang to the rescue, but Cao Cao was cunning and determined to succeed in Xuzhou, so he set up ambushes along the way and trapped Liu Bei's army in Xiaopei.

Cao Cao captured Pi and killed and wounded 3,000 soldiers!

The city of Xiapi is cut off from food, and the plague is rampant!

The three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang led their troops to break through the siege fifteen times and were defeated by the general Cao Ren!

Zhang Fei fought Xiahoudun, and there was no winner in 80 rounds!

I immediately ordered 50,000 troops to be sent to personally take command of Cao Cao, and set off on the second day.

But he said that this night, Xiao Hanyi prepared wine for me, and Chen Deng, Sun Qian and other strategists accompanied him. After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Hanyi said: "Brother Duan, who do you think among the princes in the world will be benevolent and dominate the world?"

"How do I know that. "I'm munching on a chicken leg, and when I get to the battlefield, it's not easy to eat.

"I think Yuan Shao is a hero. The fourth generation of the Yuan family and the third duke, Yuan Shao is very ambitious, and he is bent on recovering the Han family, and he will be the only one in the world in the future. ”

"Yuan Shao, Cao Cao commented that he was scheming and indecisive, and if he wants to compete for the first place in the world, I'm afraid it's not easy. I replied casually.

"Now that Yuan Shao has taken Hebei and merged the two states, if he can unify the north, it will be invincible in the world. Xiao Hanyi said.

"What's wrong with you today? I'm leaving tomorrow, I don't know when I'll be back, what is the general trend of the world now, it doesn't matter who he is a hero, come and drink!"

Xiao Hanyi shook his head and said, "Brother Duan, since you are bent on taking refuge in Cao Cao, why don't you say anything, the soldiers don't have to fight to the death with Cao Jun." ”

"You...... What do you mean?" I said, stunned.

Xiao Hanyi took out a letter from his sleeve and read it aloud: "Brother Cao, I am very worried about my brother for a few days. According to your strategy, Tao Qian really humbly gave in to Xuzhou to me, and now Qing and Xu Erzhou have all fallen into my hands. Liu Bei, Lu Bu and others are unwilling to join your command, and the military situation has been reported to you, so you can act cheaply. Tomorrow, I will lead the Xuzhou military horses to join you, with the righteousness of my two brothers. At that time, the north will be in the hands of the elder brother, Duan Dahu. ”

When I heard this, my face turned pale with fright, and I trembled: "How can there be this letter, I didn't write it!"

"Brother Duan, this is obviously your handwriting, why don't you recognize it? What's more, you and Cao Cao are indeed good friends, and now that you are showing your true colors, you are ...... Also to be expected. ”

A group of people were already suspicious, obviously not believing my words, as soon as he said this, he naturally confirmed my crime, but I couldn't argue, a rush of blood surged into my heart, I was furious and said: "Brother Xiao, how can you be so indistinguishable from wrong, spewing blood, and framing me!"

Xiao Hanyi ignored me, and suddenly ordered: "Do it!"

Immediately a group of people poured out, but there was no brother I was familiar with, and they pressed me to the table. I was furious, I wanted to draw the sword, but I didn't expect my whole body to be light and fluttering, and I didn't have any strength, it seemed that I had drunk too much.

"I said, scholar, don't make trouble, are you playing with me?" I struggled, after all, there was still luck in my heart.

Xiao Hanyi said: "Big Tiger, no matter how high your martial arts are, you can't be a big political leader after all." Of course, you don't want to do it yourself, and even if you do it reluctantly, you will definitely fail in the end. Since ancient times, those emperors and emperors, who didn't have a strong desire for power, but you didn't have any at all. The Mo family passed on the secret of your longevity because you have two million Yellow Turban Army in your hands, and you will be able to do things for the people in the future. But you don't have big ambitions, you only think about the rivers and lakes, and you really have a lot of responsibility. Of course, the current Mo family is in a corner, and Juzi Taoguang is obscure and has nothing to do, what can he do? In this way, the blood of the ancestors of the Mo family will be shed in vain. ”

At this time, my mind suddenly cleared up, and it turned out that this was all a good show arranged by him. I asked, "You...... At the Mo family that day, the poison of the Seven Star Begonia was also caused by you?"

"Not bad. The Great Eunuch Zhang Rang's Four Heavenly Kings chased you all the way, I thought it was strange, and after returning to the Organ City, I learned the secret of the Xuantie Order and the Dragon Slayer Knife from Juzi's mouth. I secretly contacted Zhang Rang and asked him to enter the organ city, and took the Xuantie Order and the Dragon Slayer Knife, so that the imperial court would have all the Yellow Turban Army, and the world would not be able to enjoy peace and tranquility, and the people would live and work in peace and contentment. Unfortunately, it's too late......"

"Bastard, I've always treated you as a brother in vain!" I was furious, but I didn't have the slightest strength, so I could only scold.
