Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 243 Boss Cao, Don’t Inflate, You Have Xu Chu, I Have Huang Zhong and Wei Yan

The Yellow River Basin is full of wind and sand.

The rushing turbid river, wrapped in a gust of wind, roared and blew away the long hair on the back of Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan's heads.

It has been almost ten days since they came to Henan Yin. Through the scouts' non-stop exploration day and night, they finally figured out the general strength of the Huns stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River.

"On the south bank of the Yellow River, there are several large and small tribes of the Southern Huns scattered.

But among these tribes, there is only one large tribe, and in this largest tribe stands the king's tent representing the left and right kings. "

Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan quietly listened to the news from the scouts.

After a short pause, the scout continued: "Our people have quietly counted, and the Huns have nearly ten thousand cavalry in total, and they seem to be elites who are good at cavalry warfare.

In the camp, there were also some women and children who were captured by the Huns. Their situation was very miserable. "

Zhao Yun finished listening to the scout's report with a blank face, and then he nodded and replied: "Investigate again!"

"Here!" The scout responded with a clasped fist and retreated.

After thinking about it for a while, Xia Houlan asked Zhao Yun habitually, "Zilong, what should we do?"

Zhao Yun turned his head to look at Xia Houlan, his face finally changed.

He smiled and asked Xia Houlan: "You have copied so many military books and received so many teachings from your husband, don't you have some ideas of your own?"

"Yes, but not so sure," Xia Houlan replied with a little confidence.

Zhao Yun said in a warm voice: "It's okay, we can act while confirming your thoughts. When you have enough experience and self-confidence, you can lead the army alone."

Xia Houlan grinned and said, "That's it!"

"So, what's on your mind?"

After pondering for a moment, Xia Houlan said, "The Huns are divided into several tribes, large and small, and the organization is loose, and there must be different delays in communication between them.

Now, the enemy is open and we are in the dark. I think we should take advantage of the fact that the Huns are unprepared, and directly raid their central army king's tent, and then rush out while other tribes respond to reinforcements! "

Xia Houlan originally thought that Zhao Yun would first comment on his own thoughts like Lu Yan did back then, and then correct one or two before giving a better plan.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun actually said directly: "Then do it this way!"

"?" Xia Houlan was still a little confused, he asked with some guilt: "Zilong, don't you think about it anymore?"

"The enemy is clear and we are in the dark. Attack quickly, hit its vital points, and leave with one blow." Zhao Yun nodded to Xia Houlan, and continued: "Your proposal is very good."

Xia Houlan didn't expect to be praised by Zhao Yun the first time he put forward an idea, and his confidence finally gradually rose.

"Then when do we attack?"

Zhao Yun looked in the direction of the Xiongnu tribe, and replied in a flat tone without the slightest wave: "Just before dawn, take the Xiongnu king's tent directly!"

"it is good!"

Cao Cao led Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Guo Jia and others back to Chenliu County.

After finally recruiting a fierce general who can rival Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, how could he not show his face in front of Mr. Lu?

After Chenliu County, Zhao Yun and others led the army to leave, the cavalry battalion was vacated.

Cao Xiu, who was sent by Cao Cao to guard the horses for Zhao Yun's cavalry, was also idle.

Although Cao Xiu was dismissed from his official position by Cao Cao because he thought he was smart and risked disaster, he was a descendant of the Cao family who was called "Thousand Li Horse" by Lao Cao, and his ability was still there.

It may take a month or two for Zhao Yun to come back.

In line with the principle of making the best use of people and things, Lu Yan simply let Cao Xiu temporarily train the newly recruited soldiers in the cavalry camp.

In the afternoon, Lu Yan was inspecting the training results of the recruits, when suddenly a messenger came to report, "Report! General Hussars, the Taiwei is on his way!"

"Boss Cao's visit is back?" Lu Yan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then said to Cao Xiu beside him, "Wen Lie, come with me to meet Cao Gong."

Cao Xiu was still a little scared of Cao Cao, but he still swallowed and clasped his fists in response: "Here!"

Before Lu Yan and Cao Xiu walked out of the camp, Cao Cao's hearty voice came over: "Hahaha! Mr. Lu, come and see my new general!"

Listening to that voice, if you want to describe Boss Cao's current mood, it's like a child who just got a new favorite toy and can't wait to share and show off with the person he trusts the most.

After meeting Cao Cao, Lu Yan also saw his new hero.

He is eight feet long, has a waist of ten girth, and has a majestic appearance. Lu Yan instantly thought of a fierce general under Cao Boss in history, "Xu Chu!"

However, Lu Yan concealed his expression very well. He pretended to be surprised, then cupped his hands and said to Cao Cao: "Then Yan will congratulate Duke Cao."

"Hey." Hearing Lu Yan's congratulations, Boss Cao had a sense of accomplishment, but he always felt that something was missing.

After inspecting the cavalry camp with his head, Boss Cao finally sighed, "It's a pity that Zilong is not here, otherwise Zhongkang would be able to compete with Zilong."

After Xu Chu heard Cao Cao's emotion, he immediately asked, "My lord, is Zhao Yun really that powerful?"

Before Cao Cao could answer, Dian Wei spoke first, "Very powerful!"

"How powerful?"

Dian Wei thought for a while and replied: "I can draw with him in the foot fight, but I will definitely lose in the horse fight."

"It's a pity that such a person can't meet immediately!" Xu Chu said with regret.

Originally, Lu Yan wanted to fulfill Boss Cao's petty vanity, but you called the call as soon as you came and wanted to discuss with Zhao Yun directly.

Do you look down on Tai Shici and the others?Although it seems that Tai Shici really can't beat Xu Chu.
After hearing the "whispering words" between Dian Wei and Xu Chu, Lu Yan decided that he should not indulge Boss Cao too much, as he, Lao Cao, would easily become inflated.

Lu Yan cupped his hands again, and said to Cao Cao: "Grandpa Cao, it just so happens that Yan has recruited two new warriors recently, why don't you let them fight this brave brother?"

Cao Cao was stroking his beard proudly, when he suddenly heard that Lu Yan had received the votes of two more warriors, he couldn't help pulling out a few of his beards in surprise.

"It hurts, it hurts." Boss Cao rubbed his chin, and then asked, "Where did you find two more warriors?"

"Oh, they are two of the five warriors I sent people to look for."

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes widened. He suddenly remembered that Lu Yan had entrusted Cao Ren and Cao Hong to send people to find the brave general.

"Dian Wei and Tai Shici are two of the five people on the list, and the other two who can stand alongside them. Hiss!" Boss Cao felt that he was instantly outnumbered.

But Dian Wei became excited, "Sir, you found two more people? Can you ask them to come out and meet?"

"Of course!" Lu Yan nodded, and then said to Cao Xiu beside him, "Wen Lie, go and call Huang Zhong and Wei Yan over, and just say that Duke Cao wants to see them."

"Obey!" Cao Xiu meticulously clasped his fists in salute, then saluted Cao Cao, and then quickly ran towards his mount.

At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly opened his mouth and shouted to Cao Xiu who was running:
"Wen Lie, work hard with Mr. Lu, I hope one day in the future I can see you become a general like Zi Xiao and Zi Lian who can take charge on their own!"

Cao Xiu's running body stopped suddenly, and then he suddenly turned around and knelt down on one knee, his voice choked with sobs, and he responded loudly: "Nephew, I will live up to my uncle's expectations!"
