Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 636 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Commander! (4000)

Seeing this scene, Wu Liang became more and more uneasy.

If there are 2000 soldiers at the north gate, there must be many soldiers at the south gate, and it is certain that there must be at least [-] soldiers besides the soldiers and horses who need to stay at the south gate to prevent Cao Jun from entering the city for rescue. Now it is on the way to encircle.

At that time, Wu Liang and Boss Cao will be in a dilemma that is several times larger than their own, and they will still be enemies.

Also don't forget.

Not only is Lu Bu a "flying general" known for his bravery, he also has under his command two famous historical generals, Zhang Liao, the prefect of the Northland, and Gao Shun, the commander of the trapped camp. There have been staggering records in history.

And looking at Boss Cao, the only ones who can really be named are Cao Ang and Cao Ting. The rest of the famous generals in history are all commanding other armies outside the city. thirsty.

So compare.

In terms of generals, Boss Cao is at a disadvantage.

In terms of soldiers and horses, Boss Cao is still at a disadvantage.

This seems to have turned into a dead end, with little chance of escape.

at the same time.

Wu Liang looked at Xiandi and his party who were under his care.

Empress Fu, several nobles, and the accompanying eunuchs and maidservants all showed uneasy expressions. They have been hunted down and killed since they fled eastward. At the worst time, they couldn't even eat decent food. , the clothes on his body are also tattered, like a beggar.

Therefore, they are all frightened now, and they can't help but start to be afraid and nervous when they see this scene.

Not only them, but the remaining dozens of Habayashi guards are also very nervous, because every time they are hunted down, they must be the first to suffer, otherwise how could there be only so few of them left?
But oddly enough.

Wu Liang did not see the slightest nervousness on Emperor Xian's face, on the contrary, he was surprisingly calm at the moment, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with him.

Emperor Xian did have a reason not to be nervous.

Because he still has value to use.

Once Dong Zhuo helped him to the throne and did not harm him; later Wang Yun and Lu Bu jointly controlled the government, but still did not harm him; later, Li Jue and Guo Si controlled the government, but also did not harm him; now Boss Cao is also It is intended to "hold the emperor to make him not a minister", and he has no intention of hurting him at all.

This is all because he is just a "guardian" emperor, and these people need to use him to achieve their political goals.

And as long as one day no one reaches the point of covering the sky with one hand, his life will still be useful, but he will live a relatively useless life, and he will not even be able to protect his own woman and heirs.

of course.

This may be just one of the reasons.

Others didn't know it yet, but Wu Liang knew very well that Emperor Xian was not a peaceful person in his heart, otherwise the famous "clothes edict" incident would not have occurred in history.

So it's hard to say whether this matter is related to him...

Think so.

"Yang Wanli."

Wu Liang called Yang Wanli over, and said to him in a low voice, "Tell brothers, be sure to keep an eye on Emperor Xian and those Yulin guards. If there is any change in them, except for Emperor Xian, the rest of them can just use the continuous crossbow to shoot. Kill, don't have to report to me, let alone worry about it."

"promise."

Yang Wanli responded, and immediately retreated to arrange the matter with the Huanren Army.

As for the nearly [-] soldiers that Cao Ti handed over to Wu Liang just now, their main task was to be the rear guard. First, Wu Liang didn't want them to be distracted;

Anyway, everyone in the Tauren army has a "Warring States Repeating Crossbow", so close to the Habayashi guards, who only have a few dozen people, should be able to solve the battle in an instant, and the Habayashi guards even have a chance to get close nothing.

Finished explaining the matter.

Wu Liang still looked preoccupied.

He is hesitating whether to make a move, or when should he make a move?
He didn't want to act as a savior, especially he didn't want black powder to be exposed in front of Boss Cao, because this kind of killer weapon that surpassed the times must have an extremely fatal attraction for the ambitious Boss Cao.

Therefore, once the black powder is detonated, Boss Cao will definitely use all means to hold the black powder in his own hands.

Wu Liang was also not sure what Boss Cao would do.

He only knows that this will definitely make his situation with Boss Cao very delicate in the future. Boss Cao needs to win him over, but also needs to be on guard against him all the time, and may even be afraid of him, so he has to find a way to control him... After all, this Whoever holds this terrifying power means that half of his ass has already sat on the throne of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, if possible, Wu Liang absolutely did not want to make a move.

But it's not like he doesn't understand the reason why his lips are dead and his teeth are cold.

Once Boss Cao was defeated, how could Lu Bu let him and the Huan Army go?
And by that time the overall situation has been decided, even if he has black powder in his hand, it is impossible for him to be able to defeat the thousands of soldiers under Lu Bu's command with his current equivalent and such a small number of soldiers, and it will be too late.

and so.

Wu Liang also couldn't keep silent all the time.

He even felt that if he had to make a move no matter what, it would be better to sacrifice black gunpowder as soon as he came up and directly blow up Lu Bu's troops, which was unexpected, so that Boss Cao could take advantage of the opportunity to rush out of the city in one go, so as not to wait for a large number of people to appear. In the case of casualties, the difficulty of overturning the situation has increased a lot.

But how to explain the origin of black powder to Boss Cao and avoid embarrassing his own situation is still a question that needs to be discussed.

……

At the same time that Boss Cao's troops broke through the North City Gate.

Lu Bu's troops are also rapidly shrinking. Obviously they have received the news, so they don't want to give Boss Cao a chance to defeat them one by one.

Lu Bu's strategy also became clear.

He just wanted to use the superior force to trap Boss Cao to death in the city. As long as Boss Cao couldn't break through the city gate, more rebels would come to support him from the south gate, and Boss Cao would be unable to look after him at the end.

At least judging from the current situation, this is a must-kill situation.

Boss Cao is in danger!

Therefore, before arriving at the North City Gate, except for the rebel soldier who was shot down by Cao Ang at the beginning, Boss Cao's troops encountered fewer and fewer rebels on the way.

And the more so.

The expression on Boss Cao's face became more and more gloomy. Although he had heard someone say that Lu Bu was brave and foolish, judging from today's incident, Lu Bu was definitely not as miserable as the rumors said.

However, Lu Bu's capriciousness and honesty are difficult to support for a long time, but they have been fully verified.

It must be impossible to say that Boss Cao has no regrets in his heart.

He remembered that when he adopted Lv Bu as his adoptive son, Xun Yu and Xiahou Dun gave him advice when they received the news, taught him to think about the fate of Lv Bu's previous two adoptive fathers, and advised him to draw a line with Lv Bu.

But Boss Cao is really envious of the generals and soldiers under Lu Bu's command, and Yuan Shao in Jizhou can no longer see his rapid growth in Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and began to put pressure on him. Boss Cao urgently needs to further strengthen his strength to defend against Yuan Shao , So he rejected all opinions and insisted on accepting Lu Bu, the adopted son.

Of course, Boss Cao is not without his own ideas.

He had already negotiated with Xi Zhicai and came up with a plan to drive away tigers and swallow wolves, and to replace them. He just needed to stabilize Lu Bu temporarily, and while using him to check and balance Yuan Shao, he gradually recruited the generals under Lu Bu's command. After Lu Bu was completely emptied, he He is no longer needed.

In the end, I didn't expect that before this idea was realized, Lu Bu would be the first to do so.

It is also blamed for the rapid growth of power in the past year, so that Boss Cao's mentality has inflated unconsciously. Although he is not arrogant, he often calls himself a man of destiny.

Therefore, when dealing with Lu Bu, he was less prepared, thinking that everything was under control...

It was also because Wu Liang couldn't read Boss Cao's heart at the moment.

Otherwise, Wu Liang might have realized something else now...

Because Boss Cao was attacked by Zhang Xiu in history, so that Cao Ang, Cao Tian, ​​Dian Wei and Jue Ying were finally damaged, and it was also because he was arrogant after welcoming Emperor Xian, and forced Zhang Xiu’s aunt before the war , causing Zhang Xiu to hold a grudge, and Jia Xu, a poisonous man, was there to make suggestions, so he ended up in such an end.

The two actually have similarities.

To sum it up in one sentence, there must be no waves or drifts in a downwind situation.

At least for Boss Cao, this may be his doom, and the car will overturn if it waves or floats.

at this time.

"Brother Mengde, I'm going!"

A young general who seemed to be in his 20s quietly came to Boss Cao and said with cupped hands.

"Well, Zihe, it's up to you."

Boss Cao nodded solemnly.

"promise!"

The young general responded, and separated from the central army with about a hundred soldiers who had ordered in advance, and headed in the opposite direction to Boss Cao's troops.

When passing by Wu Liang, the young general glanced at him inadvertently.

Although it was just such a brief glance, Wu Liang still saw the extraordinary determination and sharpness in his eyes, and concluded that this person could never be a nobody!
"Zihe? Zihe... Who is it? Why do you call Boss Cao your elder brother at such a young age?"

In retrospect, it was actually not the first time Wu Liang saw this young general beside Boss Cao.

It's just that he seems to have the ability to dilute people's attention, making Wu Liang always think that he is just one of Boss Cao's personal guards, but now it seems that this person is not simple.

Otherwise, Boss Cao would definitely not assign a hundred members of the Chinese army under such circumstances and teach this person to lead a single action.

This undoubtedly further weakened Boss Cao's defensive ability. If Lu Bu's troops invaded the formation, Boss Cao's situation would only become more dangerous... But Wu Liang believed that Boss Cao must have his reasons for doing so.

Just "Zihe"...

Cao Chun? !
A name related to this word finally flashed in Wu Liang's mind. Such a low-key and insignificant person is actually Cao Chun? !
Some people may not be familiar with this name.

But when it comes to his compatriot brother, people who have read the Three Kingdoms will definitely not be unfamiliar-Cao Ren.

The two brothers are of the same clan as Boss Cao, more precisely, they should be Boss Cao’s cousins ​​and belong to the head of the Cao Group, so the two brothers have followed Boss Cao since he started, and they are both Boss Cao’s brothers. Made a lot of contributions.

However, in "Three Kingdoms", there are relatively many records about Cao Ren.

The records about Cao Chun only mentioned that he followed Boss Cao to recruit soldiers in Chenliu in the early years. It once appeared in the records. At this time, the Battle of Guandu had already ended, and Boss Cao was besieging Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan.

Also this time, the "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry", one of the most elite troops in the history of the Three Kingdoms, made its debut.

And the leader of the "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" is none other than Cao Chun.

In this battle, Boss Cao lost the first battle, but the "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" immediately reversed the situation as soon as they appeared on the stage, and defeated Yuan Jun in just a few days like a heavenly soldier. Yuan Tan fell off his horse and begged for mercy, and his head was already dead Rolled to the ground - this is the famous "Nanpi Zhantan" in history.

The "tiger and leopard cavalry" became famous, and only then did people know what kind of cavalry it was.

"Three Kingdoms" has a cloud: "The tiger and leopard riders under the supervision of Chun are all the best in the world, or they will be supplemented by hundreds of people."

What is "Hundred Generals"?
That is a strong soldier who has commanded hundreds of people in the army, and in this troubled world, almost every "hundred-man general" is a soldier king who has experienced tens of hundreds of battles, and he is definitely no less than the future generations. special forces.

As the commander of the "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry", Cao Chun's strength can be seen.

It has been hidden in the snow for more than ten years, and the world knows it in one battle!

Wu Liang seemed to have found relevant records about Cao Chunna that had disappeared in the history books for more than ten years. For more than ten years, Cao Chunding had been by Boss Cao's side, training soldiers and sharpening his sword secretly, and Boss Cao regarded it as a secret that would only be used at critical moments. arms.

Just like now, Cao Chun must have been given a special task. This is a trump card that Boss Cao has been hiding by his side all the time, and now he can't do without it.

It's just that what role Cao Chun will play in this battle still needs to be seen.

I just don't know where is Cao Chun in the battle of Wancheng in history?

Anyway, he certainly didn't die in that rebellion, only Cao Ang, Cao Ti, Dian Wei and Jue Ying died...

However, this still gave Wu Liang a glimmer of hope.

If Cao Chun can make extraordinary achievements, will Wu Liang not have to use black powder in front of Boss Cao?

But the problem is, Zhen Mi said that Dian Wei's fierce spirit has dispersed and enveloped the seven orifices, and his doom has come, but Wu Liang did not dare to have too much hope, after all, now the Duan army is walking behind Boss Cao This is undoubtedly the safest place. If Dian Wei is still in danger, it means that there is a high probability that Cao Jun will still be defeated.
