Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 224 What's the purpose of the generals' confrontation?
If it develops according to the original trajectory of history.

When Cao Cao became the shepherd of Yanzhou and faced the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou, the method he adopted was... the current strategy of "extreme pulling" and "harassment"...

At that time, Cao Cao bullied the Yellow Turban Army's weak organization and lax military discipline, as well as their poor mobility and lack of horses.

only…

Cao Cao in the Yanzhou period, now because of a letter from Liu Yu, this set of tactics...be staged in "Quyang" in advance!
Three hundred riders, the [-] yellow scarves that have been killed have been messed up, completely messed up!
...

On Quyang City.

——"It's messed up, this group of moth thieves is messed up, it's all messed up!"

Huangfu Jianshou pointed excitedly at the yellow scarf army under the city.

One day and one night, the entire Yellow Turban Army fell into chaos under the "shameless" harassment of the [-] knights led by Cao Cao... Strong men can still withstand this pressure, but their families can't stand it at all !
Every half an hour, heavily armed Han cavalry would come to kill them. After galloping for a while, leaving arrows behind, blood-red patches, and then... sped away.

Cried…

The moth thieves are already crying. They never imagined that the Han army... the officers and soldiers would... actually use this "no face" style of play. They are even more rascals than rascals!

Today's Yellow Turban Army...cries of killing, wailing, and mourning...along with scolding and cursing sounds can be heard endlessly.

Huangfusong stood on the city tower and witnessed this scene.

Although the surface is still calm, but in his heart, he is already throbbing, and the waves are endless.

"Father, Captain Cao Qi has been harassing him day and night, and the moth thief is already in chaos... Now is the time to break the thief..."

Huangfu Jianshou pointed at the chaotic enemy army outside the city...

Huangfusong had a serious face, "Wait a little longer!"

"Father, what are you waiting for..." Huangfu Jianshou was unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...

Huangfusong was as stable as Mount Tai, his eyes narrowed into slits. "This kid, should he be able to see that fighter plane?"

Huangfu Song chanted softly...

at this time.

"boom…"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, near the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, flames blazed everywhere...

But when the leader of the Yellow Turbans was still unclear about the situation, the south wind boosted the fire, connected the bushes and wild grass, and instantly set the family camp of the Yellow Turbans on fire.These...old people, children, and women didn't sleep well at night, and they were tired all night during the day. They finally stayed up until night and fell asleep in fear. !
Numerous old, weak, sick and disabled... before they could get up and escape, many were burned to death, trampled and crushed to death.

And this scene appeared...

Finally, a rare smile appeared on Huangfusong's cheeks, "Hahaha..."

He immediately pulled out his saber, "Pass it to my general, the whole army will go out of the city and wipe out the enemy..."

Undoubtedly... Cao Cao's performance was beyond his expectations. Cao Cao not only exhausted the enemy army with three hundred cavalry, but also hit the snake with seven inches. With this company's fire... hit the moth thief's weakest... a blow Must kill!

"Da da da…"

The sound of horseshoes sounded again in Quyang City.

"Get it..."

The neighing sound of the war horse was like an explosion after being suppressed...

The gates of the city were opened, and thousands of horses galloped together. Taking advantage of the chaos of the Yellow Turban Army, Huangfusong personally led the cavalry to rush towards them unscrupulously. The eyes of all the officers and soldiers were green, without a trace of pity...

They knew that if it wasn't for this fire, if it wasn't for the chaos of the enemy, now...the ones slaughtered by the enemy would probably be themselves!
The three hundred cavalry led by Cao Cao successfully merged with Huangfusong's army...

And the Yellow Turban Army has just figured out the situation...

I saw that the night was dark, the camp was on fire, and the rear was out of control...

Officers and soldiers coming from all directions beat them into panic and confusion.

They lacked experience in on-the-spot combat, so they had no choice but to disperse and retreat in desperation... But Huangfusong was a person who "eliminates all evil", he led the officers and soldiers... chased for ten miles, and killed more than [-] heads!

This battle...

Killed directly from the evening to the dawn of the next day!

Straight to kill the soldiers softly...

Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Yellow Turban Army were killed or injured, and the Second Route Army led by Huang Fusong achieved the incredible "Quyang Victory".

On the other hand, Cao Cao...

He asked his subordinates to avoid children and women as much as possible when killing the enemy. They are family members who have no ability to resist... and should not be buried for this battle.

But the red-eyed soldiers couldn't tell the difference between men and women, old and young in the dark...

Among the corpses everywhere, there are more of these bullying "weak people"!
——Once a person is motivated to kill, there is no choice at all.

This is Cao Cao's first battle on the battlefield, and also his first meritorious deeds, but his heart... can't be calm for a long time!
He has been in contact with Liu Yu for a long time, or...he has been in Yulin Temple for a long time, which makes him care more about the feelings of thousands of people.

After the war... rewards for meritorious deeds.

Huangfusong has seen Qingdian's battle report, boasting about Cao Cao...

"Good job! Cao Mengde, you are the best!"

Huangfusong originally wanted to transfer Cao Cao back to the army and entrust him with important tasks...

never thought...

Cao Cao's words made him feel "speechless"...

——"The officers and soldiers killed our own compatriots. What merits can we say for killing so many miserable poor people who were forced to rebel by the government?"

This…

Cao Cao blurted out these words, and all the generals in the room frowned, muttering in their hearts... What is wrong with this Captain Cao Cavalry today?

Huangfusong's complexion changed suddenly, he was extremely sensitive, he thought Cao Cao was still angry with him, and deliberately said such words to anger him!

"This general praises the soldiers who fought hard to kill the enemy, not you! You led the troops to leave your post without authorization, and abandoned a large number of supplies. If the food and grass are lost, our army will definitely be defeated, and you will wait for the military law to deal with it!"

Ah…

Facing Huangfusong's scolding, Cao Cao seemed to have gotten used to it, or in other words, his mentality was enough to calmly deal with Huangfusong's scolding.

"Ha ha…"

Cao Cao sneered, turned and left without saying goodbye.

He thought in his heart, these people... Faced with the slaughter on the battlefield, and the ruthlessness of life, can they really get through it with such a happy chat?

Sadness is everywhere...

One by one, the living people turned into broken corpses, are they all indifferent?
Cao Cao's soul was shocked. He watched in Yulin and felt the true feelings of the people in Dunqiu, but here, only the officers and soldiers raised their knives and slashed at the unarmed civilians in his eyes, and his heart was trembling.

The bloody war is real and cruel.

And these are not what can be told in the book of war!

This is the turning point from books to actual combat!

"Captain Cao Qi, what are you doing?" Huangfu Song was still questioning Cao Cao...

Cao Cao ignored it, and just strode out. The atmosphere here fell into an inexplicable coldness.

Huangfusong's anger is rapidly igniting...

I don't know how long it has been...

"Report!"

A guard broke into the big tent and reported: "Captain Cao Qi has left the city..."

"Report!"

Another guard reported: "Lieutenant Cao Qi is commanding the logistics army to transport food and luggage into the city!"

As soon as this statement comes out…

Huangfusong trembled all over, he walked out of the big tent and came to the tower...

What appeared in his eyes was that Cao Cao, covered in sweat, was busy directing the soldiers to line up to pass through the city gate. From a distance, all the food carts and horses were lined up neatly.

How could Huangfusong have expected that the food and grass would arrive so quickly... he was shocked.

This Cao Cao...unexpectedly, while keeping the food, grass and supplies, he was able to lead troops to make a surprise attack...forcibly killing a "chance" for this inevitable defeat...

"Father, look..."

Huangfu Jianshou reminded, "The hundreds of knights under Lieutenant Cao Qi seem to be stepping on an iron stirrup...I asked just now. Although he marched hurriedly during this period, Captain Cao Qi still ordered people to seize time. Three hundred of these stirrups were forged... and this stirrup can help warriors bend their bows and set arrows on horseback like flat ground!"

hiss…

Huangfusong's attention was also focused on the stirrup.

A lieutenant at the side said with emotion: "General, this eunuch's raised grandson looks...well-trained!"

A lieutenant also echoed: "I heard that when Taixue...his military teacher was the famous general Duan Jiong!"

Huangfu Jianshou said with emotion: "Don't forget, he is still the elder brother of Yulin Liulang!"

"Ha ha…"

Finally, Huangfusong showed a faint smile, opened his mouth slightly, and nodded!

...

...

Different from the flashes of swords and swords on the battlefield, the Yulin Temple in Luoyang City is extraordinarily peaceful.

However, the appearance of a middle-aged man broke the silence here.

Liu Yu and Xun Yu were playing chess...Speaking of which, Liu Yu's chess skills are not very good, Xun Yu wants to give him a little bit...

Coming to a crucial step...

"Guard Master Liu..."

A vicissitudes and hoarse voice came, Liu Yu turned her head to look, but it wasn't Cao Cao's father Cao Song, who else could it be?
"Cao Da Si Nong..."

Liu Yu stood up and was about to meet him, but Cao Song cupped his hands and said, "Today, I came here uninvited, but I have something to ask Guanzhu Liu!"

"Sinong Cao has something to say, but it's okay to say it. Meng De is my elder brother... The Cao family's business is my Liu Yu's business!"

Liu Yu's words made Cao Song feel emotional.

Cao Song still arched his hands and said, "I have two sons, Cao Cao and Cao De, under my knees. De'er is young... The old man is getting old, and many things in the family need Meng De to take care of... But, Meng De has been restless since he was a child...More It's because I'm not satisfied with the status quo. In the past, I just let it go, as long as it doesn't cause too much trouble... But this time...he...he... oh, oh..."

Cao Song flicked his long sleeves... His complexion was like a bitter melon.

He didn't finish his speech, but it seemed that everything... had been spoken.

How could Liu Yu fail to understand how this old father felt?
"Is Da Sinong Cao worried about his elder brother being on the battlefield?" Liu Yu asked back.

"Can you not be worried?" Cao Song frowned... "This boy... this boy... In short, my son has always been disobedient, let alone listen to people's words. The only person who can trust you is Guanzhu Liu...I still hope you ..."

Cao Song was a little hard to say...

Thinking about it, others make money when they are officials, but Cao Cao lost money when he was an official. When he was a captain in the north of Luoyang, he cast a five-color stick and beat Jian Shuo's uncle to death. It's a bottomless pit!
That's all... waste money to eliminate disasters, but... Cao Cao's temper on the battlefield, who will get used to it?

On the battlefield, human life is worthless!

Cao Song has been unable to sleep for many days, especially after hearing that Huangfu Song was besieged, he suffered from insomnia all night long...Finally fell asleep, and what he dreamed of was also the scene of his son dying in battle in Quyang.

Today's Cao Song... seems to be much haggard.

just... this...

Although Liu Yu sympathized with Cao Song, but... he couldn't really raise Cao Cao in the Wen family.

Cao Cao is different from Xun Yu and Liu Bei...

The latter two were generally finalized as soon as they came out of the mountain, while Cao Cao continued to become stronger as the battles took place...

Cao Cao's learning ability and understanding are too strong... Many things have to be practiced and tempered by him.

"Cao Da Si Nong..."

Liu Yu immediately wanted to say a few words of comfort, to say a few words that are not painful...

Never thought, right now.

"Cao Da Sinong...Cao Da Si Nong, I found you..."

It was Sima Fang who hurried over...

He was out of breath, and it could be heard from his tone that he came here specially for Cao Song.

"Your Majesty Sima..." Cao Song was a little timid, afraid that what Sima Fang brought would be bad news... Dreams can never come true!

"Cao Da Si Nong, I just came to your house to ask and found out that you came to the Yulin Temple, so... I came to look for you in a hurry, and your majesty summoned you?" Sima Fang said without hesitation...

"Your Majesty?" Cao Song was startled, "Is it the treasury?"

"No, it's your son Cao Cao!" Sima Fang's words made Cao Song tremble in fright...what to be afraid of!
It seems to have sensed Cao Song's nervousness...

Sima Fang was taken aback, "Could it be that Cao Dasinong got the news in advance?"

"What... what news?" Cao Song's words became stumbling...

"Your son..." Sima Fang blurted out, "Your son has done a great job!"

Uh…

Before Cao Song could react.

"Quick, quick..." Sima Fang grabbed Cao Song, "Follow me to the palace, Your Majesty is waiting to reward you!"

uh... this...

Cao Song felt completely stupefied.

This kid Cao Cao?Can you still do meritorious service?
meritorious service...

He looked at Liu Yu and murmured in his heart, could it be that... this time, Ah Man went to the battlefield, but still... still going, right?
"Gudong" swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he had already been pulled away by Sima Fang, and Liu Yu's figure could no longer be seen.

But Xun Yu...

He scratched his head, "Did Mengde make meritorious service? Isn't he in charge of logistics? Logistics can also make meritorious service?"

Xun Yu was even more confused...

How could Liu Yu know, he spread his hands, "I don't know about this, but soon, there will be news... besides..."

Liu Yu paused for a moment before continuing: "Brother, with his temper, really want to make meritorious service? How could he not send a letter back..."

It was beyond Liu Yu's expectation that Cao Cao made meritorious deeds so quickly...

In his opinion, Cao Cao still has to learn some skills from Huangfusong!
certainly…

This includes not only the ability on the battlefield, but also how to deal with the enemy's state of mind... The ability on the battlefield determines the lower limit of a general's command, but how to deal with the enemy's state of mind is the "upper limit" of a general's ability!

Just like what Liu Yu thought of...

Today's Cao Cao, although he has become the hero of "turning the tide"... But he still can't pass the test in his heart!
Finally, Cao Cao went to visit Huangfusong on his own initiative.

"General!"

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and bravely said: "In the battle of Quyang, our army lost 400 people, and the Yellow Turban Army lost 20,000 people. Among them, [-] were the families of the Yellow Turban Army. Finally, the general asked the general to give orders. The future counter-insurgency... no Kill the people, and only conquer those Yellow Turban soldiers who resist!"
