Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 187 I am so confident, why do I need others to persuade me
Jizhou soldiers and horses went south, Yuan Shao worshiped heaven and ancestors, gathered most of the troops of Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou to the south of Weijun, and gathered 40 people to go south, which is known as 65 to the outside world!

In addition to the food and supplies, the local brave bandits, etc., the actual number of people is more than 40, which is already quite disordered. Before the army marched to Liyang, it took several days to set up the camp directly outside the city for thirty miles. Set up solid, build the barracks.

Long before the New Year's Eve, Cao Cao had predicted that Yuan Shao would definitely come, so Cao Ren was asked to mobilize troops from Xuzhou ahead of time, and marched to the East County of Yanzhou to be stationed.

Yuan Shao's so-called 65, almost all the generals were not frightened, and they didn't even care about it. After many years of fighting, everyone understands how this 65 people came out. With a crowd of 65, they can be defeated with one blow. If they win, at least three More than [-] people scattered like birds and beasts, and they really followed them to the death. There are more than [-] fighting hard, which is already full. It is worthwhile to have so many people die. Big win.

In contrast, the generals of the Cao family are much more realistic. After all, one of the features of Jian'an is related to seeking truth from facts, and they are always regarded as soldiers who are willing to fight to the death.

15 elite soldiers and strong generals, led by hundreds of generals, sit near Xudu; plus Cao Ren's [-] Xuzhou elite soldiers, Cao Chun's [-] Qingzhou soldiers can be called elite; Xiahou Dun sits in Dongjun and has led troops for many years There are already [-] people, and there have been no casualties among the elite soldiers; there are also [-] elite soldiers under Xu Zhen who have already done meritorious service. These are Cao Cao's real trump cards!He has more confidence than Yuan Shao, who is furious.

So after seeing Yuan Shao's proclamation, Cao Cao laughed out loud for almost the whole night. His spirit returned to the time when he entered Dongjun. A stroke left in history.

However, when Yuan Shao's vanguard left the army and went to the Guandu outpost to visit the camp, they were attacked once. The hunting horse team directly attacked the camp at night, looted and burned a lot of food and grass, and then disappeared. After the vanguard was damaged, Yuan Shao was furious, and asked Wen Chou to lead an army of [-] to attack Yanjin. He ordered Zhang Yun and Gao Lan to follow Liu Bei's army to encircle Baimadu. procrastination.

When Cao Cao learned of the military order on the way, he and Xu Zhen laughed loudly in the carriage, as if they were having fun, "Yuan Benchu, Yuan Benchu, looking so frustrated, it really makes me so happy. I think it came from the time when we were naughty together when we were young. At that time, we used to tease you." He is the master, Yuan Benchu's family is extremely high, and he was born in the family of the fourth generation and the third prince. He was the most powerful at that time, and his disciples and old officials were all over the world! When he was in his prime, he hibernated in Luoyang and made friends with party members. Although his reputation was not obvious, but He Jin wanted to ask for advice on everything. At that time, he was full of vigor, with real power in his hands, and he was afraid of making great achievements in troubled times! I have envied him countless times, but I only wish I was not in a powerful and famous family."

"But now, as he grows taller, I feel that he is becoming weaker and weaker. If the face of the rich and powerful is torn apart, Yuan Benchu ​​is actually nothing, and he is not even as good as many people who rose from the weak, such as the one who once had a relationship with him. You have Liu Xuande every now and then, I appreciate it very much!"

Xu Zhen leaned back slightly for a moment, noncommittal, but it's embarrassing to say this. You may not only appreciate it in the future, but even if you still don't want to kill, it will definitely be a big problem in the future. That is also a person with good luck people.

The great Han collapsed, and the princes fought in a melee. How could it not be that luck was divided into the world? If Yuan and Cao accounted for three points, I am afraid that Sun Liu also has some points in his hands now. For the rest of the family, he is much more powerful.

"I just have a question. When did my lord deploy an army in Jizhou to surprise Yuan Shao's leading army? I have never heard of it, and I have never seen any general in the army leave. Why did some soldiers suddenly appear?" come out?"

Is it really good luck?Yuan Shao still has soldiers and horses directly rebelling?There will definitely be people who rebel, but Xu Zhen feels that it must not be now.

At least, the armies haven't collided yet.

Cao Cao smiled proudly, but made a fool of himself. He didn't answer the question, and stared at Xu Zhen's face, letting him continue to think about it.

"Through the journey, from Yanzhou to now with three states and one Huainan in hand, how many people have you missed? You always talk about getting help, but who will help you? Is it a mountain ghost or a hero? You have brought me benevolence and good governance. Now there is such a good situation. All the people who benefited from it back then will naturally come to vote for the benevolent. The situation in the north and the south is stable. How much did I pay? No."

Cao Cao said categorically that his self-confidence and demeanor are dazzling. He really didn't need to do anything, but he did a lot. At this time, he looked at Xu Zhen with relief and said, "This is the work of civil and military co-creation. fruit."

"Have you thought about it? Who is raiding Yuan Shao?"

Seeing that Xu Zhen didn't speak, he urged him again, and said with a smile, "You've seen that person before."

"Yufro?"

Xu Zhen said uncertainly.

"Not bad!"

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth hooked up, "I asked him to resettle in the Jizhou area a long time ago. He can't go back to the Southern Huns, and he can't join our Han soldiers. He can only be a bandit. But bandits can survive. Caravans and horses are the main business, traveling to and from Hebei, Yan, and Xu three states, otherwise you think Zixiu has brought so many caravans, why do these caravans always help you! His heirs are now in Xudu. study!"

"The stronger I am, the more benevolent the Cao family is, the more fearful the surrounding princes will be. Even if I don't do anything, even if Yuan Shao's overwhelming proclamation scolds my ancestors for eighteen generations, they will still come to vote. Me, this is the benevolence you brought me back then!"

"Bowen, do you understand now? It's not that I can't afford to lose this battle, but that I can't lose. Those who have attained the Tao, please help!"

Xu Zhen suddenly realized that he was still there... He has helped so much, it is the fruit of benevolence, and it is also the fruit of all colleagues.

At this time, the sun rises in the east, and you can see the rushing river in the distance. Coming out of the mountains and forests, you can see the mountains and rivers located there.

Sure enough, everything you can see is within your grasp, so why are such mountains and rivers not as picturesque as poetry.

"Do you know that if I want to be like Yuan Shao and use the power of the whole territory to make all the gentry hand over their slaves, urgently recruit soldiers from all over the country, and use up all the manpower to fight this battle, I can force out How many soldiers and horses?"

Cao Cao asked again seemingly unconsciously.

Xu Zhen sighed with emotion, "I'm afraid there are millions of them."

This is not an exaggeration, not to mention that all the soldiers and horses currently stationed on the border have been brought in, and the townspeople from all over the country are unwilling to change the policy of Hui. This side of the land is safe, thousands of proclamations failed to break the support of the people last year, and naturally the battle will not, maybe it can really force a million.

"That is!"

Cao Cao looked quite proud. This is the way out of the two roads of benevolence and tyranny. Now that the princes of the world really want to destroy the Cao family, it is so difficult. After this battle, no one will shake his name.

Although Cao Cao was the one talking all the time, it was more useful than someone coming to him and talking about ten victories and ten losses. After all, he had already talked about it himself, and it was completely transparent.

Daoguan crossed the river, and the barracks after crossing were very spacious. This was built by [-] soldiers and horses for several months. The road for transporting grain and grass was well planned, and it crossed the river. The sentry post has been established, and it can be said that it is ready for battle; during this period of time, not only the training of soldiers has always been here, but also the trails in the front mountain have been laid out at the sentry pass during the advance, and the pass is built with huge stones. one.

It is equivalent to connecting three horizontal camps with mountain trails within three months, paving the way for marching, but the advantage is that you can transfer troops and horses at any time, and send troops to make a surprise attack. Of course, it is beneficial to guard the pass , Only a few hundred people can use the unique mountain terrain, losing thousands, if the dead soldiers come to guard, it will be more difficult for Yuan Jun to pass, this is the benefit of occupying the mountains after crossing the river three months in advance The reason is that these soldiers and horses did not waste the opportunity that Xu Zhen had won for them.

If you want to describe it, it's like an old turtle waiting for Yuan Shao to chew on it. Even if he is a tiger, he has to think about where to start his mouth, so that Wen Chou arrived near Yanjin and led his troops to Nanhe River. On the other side, he sent people to investigate the barracks, and was caught in an ambush immediately, and then he was chased and killed by Gao Shun's sword and shield soldiers for ten miles outside, and fled in a hurry.

Now he can only garrison [-] miles away, relying on the river bank to get water, first to stabilize the soldiers and horses, and then think of a way, even if he wants to take revenge, he can't see the situation in the camp, the strict defense makes him have to use this place as a fortress to treat.

The armies fought for three days.

Xiahou Dun had already made a contribution. He beheaded Wang Dong under Zhang He's command on the white horse, and defeated his army by thousands. It also forced Liu Bei to garrison outside. He and Zhang He and others took care of each other and settled down. .

The army in the middle did not dare to move first. Although there is no river across it, the plain has been spacious for so many days, and no sentries have come to investigate. It can be seen that the two of them are cautiously probing, and they have to wait for news to come out. Row.

Cao Cao was waiting for Xu Zhen to kill Wen Chou, but Yuan Shao didn't know what he was waiting for.

Xu Zhen spent most of the time in the main camp, and finally persuaded Cao Cao to let him go back to Yanjin, drifted down the river, and settled in the Yanjin Camp.

At this time, both civil and military personnel were present, and the scouts got a lot of news. Jia Xu was waiting for him, with a secret joy on his face, he had already followed him all the way when he arrived, and said about his previous fight with Wen Chou, "Today's closing Judging from the battle report, Wen Chou does not plan to attack again, but only placed the camp thirty miles away, blocking the road to Liyang, so we cannot march, and we are also trapped in Yanjin, so it is difficult to march."

"If you want to break through here, you may have to go through a fierce battle. The king's strategy of beheading Wen Chou may not be effective. His soldiers and horses are close to the mountains and forests. This is determined to seesaw. It is estimated that someone offered a plan to let him Resist the Yanjin camp."

"Then train the troops!" Xu Zhen didn't talk to him, and directly made the choice of long-term garrison, "General Huang, please come over, I will train the soldiers myself, send down the hand crossbows, and send the [-] horses from the crossbow cavalry battalion. Get ready, after I have trained my soldiers, I will find a way to force him to fight."

"How to force?"

Jia Xu asked curiously.

"He didn't dare to attack because he was afraid of me. He was stationed here and waited for me to attack. I'm afraid he is already in full formation and ready to patrol. Such a mountainous forest can run, relying on the fortifications we built within three months to attack and harass. "

Xu Zhen clapped his hands. He has the confidence to have war horses. His soldiers and horses, armored cavalry and crossbow cavalry are definitely elite, and he really gathered Cao Ying's war horses here through various tricks. The advantage is actually It was so big that Yuan Shao would never have imagined that Cao Cao's own Chinese army had only a few thousand horses, most of which were infantry swords and shields, but he gave Xu Zhen so much, which was better for him than his own son.

Under such circumstances, Xu Zhen has an advantage, so of course there are many ways he can think of. This many can lead Wen Chou by the nose. If he is not worried about elite casualties, it is not impossible to kill the whole army now, but the enemy There are many people and horses, and sooner or later they can't help but come to fight.

"Okay, if you have a plan in mind, that's fine."

Jia Xu frowned slightly, and said no more, the whole army was just doing what it was supposed to do, but Xu Zhen said at this time: "But I can't go to the battlefield, I have already promised my lord."

"okay……"

Jia Xu smiled bitterly, almost forgetting his military position in the Northern Expedition. Xu Zhen is the same as himself, but different.

If you dare to speak loudly to him, it is estimated that Yanjin's [-] soldiers and horses can eat him immediately.

For seven days in a row, Xu Zhen has been training soldiers in the barracks, practicing crossbow cavalry soldiers and horse battle formations, marching in three teams, and controlling the interval between loading crossbows at six breaths, so they can keep shooting arrows one after another, which is not powerful enough With the power of a stone bow, you can only shoot close to it. In Xu Zhen's words, it is a medium distance, but it can also be regarded as extending the attack distance of the cavalry.

After completing the familiar alternation of battle formations on the last day, Xu Zhen finally heard the pleasant prompt.

【You have completed the elite formation】

[Sword and Shield Battalion: 100%]

[Armored Cavalry Battalion: 100%]

[Elite Crossbow Cavalry Battalion: 100%]

[You have gone through hardships and dangers, completed the formation of soldiers and horses, persisted unswervingly, never gave up, practiced day and night without slack, and gained self-discipline: 15000]

[Additional command rate +3]

【Rate: 95】

[Additional charm +2]

【Charm: 100】

[Extra gold perfect feature "Han Soul"]

[Han Soul: Your lifespan will be blessed by the luck of the great man, and the current increase is "18 years"]

[Life span: 97 hours on January 11, 13 years]

"The lifespan bonus is the same as that of the Han Dynasty."

Xu Zhen frowned slightly, training soldiers and horses for the great Han, guarding the borders and defending the land, so he acquired the characteristics related to the luck of the Han Dynasty. If this Han soul continues to improve, the life span can continue to increase. Now it has reached nearly 98 years. It will only be longer in the future.

This is the case with inhuman attributes.

Moreover, the charm has really passed 100, and Xu Zhen also feels that it will always be beneficial to acquire some kind of hidden ability, which can transcend the human realm after reaching [-].

18 years of life, in the Han court.

"It can be ugly."

Xu Zhen said in a deep voice, he has no time to think so much now, he should continue to move forward bravely, conquer the northern border first, and after tasting the sweetness, he needs more time-limited tasks to develop characteristic abilities and strengthen himself, I am afraid the real stage It's not just in the middle of the big man's infighting.

Maybe there is a chance, so that all the eyes are Han soil.
