Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 84 Mushroom Tactics
None of the hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou could stand up and seek revenge on Cao Cao.

Because they are all dead.

No relatives are alive, no descendants will remember them, and naturally no one will raise the big knife in their hands and roar "revenge" at their enemies!
They left nothing but a cold sentence "Surabaya will not flow" in both "Three Kingdoms" and "Book of the Later Han Dynasty".

And the hundreds of villagers of Deng and Chen's second clan gathered in Huangmenting Zongyang were lucky, because at least many of their relatives escaped.

Perhaps for these dead people, they didn't have the extravagant hope that Huangmenting's remaining villagers and relatives could avenge them. After all, no matter how resentful the dead were, they also hoped that their relatives could live on.

I only hope that there are still people who will remember them. During the holidays, a sacrifice is enough.

As for revenge, no one wants their relatives to charge a mountain on a mule.That's a dead-end thing, and no one wants it.

Death is not terrible, what is terrible is that the descendants are all dead, not even a single root remains, if this is the case, even the souls of the dead will not be able to rest in peace.

But how can the living people forget this hatred?

The deepest hatred in Shen Chen's heart was never actually Cao Cao who killed hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou.

Because those people have nothing to do with him.

Maybe it's selfish to say that, but it's true.

No one will risk their lives to fight for some strangers and people who have never met.

It's as if no one would be generous to himself because of the suffering of others.

In this world, there may be a small number of saints who are full of lofty ideals who would do that, pouring out their wealth and helping one party.

But at least for more than [-]% of people, this is not the case.

Shen Chen is also an ordinary person, maybe it was because of his kind nature before time travel, which allowed him to maintain a kind of sympathy for the oppressed people at the bottom.

Sometimes I watch some videos of poor families online.

Obviously, he is also living a normal life, but he can't see the suffering in the world.

Donate money, be a volunteer, do good deeds, and live a positive life.

But now his heart is full of torment.

Because his opponent is Cao Cao.

Cao Cao who unified the north, wrote poems on the Hengjiang River, and wielded the whip of Wei Wu.

Thousands of people died at his hands, so why can I stand up and seek justice for those who have passed away?
So from the very beginning, Shen Chen just wanted to persuade the clan to flee quickly and stay away from Xuzhou.

It's a pity that people keep their words light, and it wasn't until the disaster came that there were some results.

He couldn't save hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou, he could only barely save his own clan.But even then, many loved ones and friends were lost.

At the very beginning, he was not so bold as to be an enemy of Cao Cao.

He just wants to protect his clan relatives from harm, so that his family can survive, that's all.

It wasn't until later that he had a deeper understanding of the world and this era, communicated with many so-called celebrities, and got acquainted with the children of those aristocratic families.

He just understood.

Feudal society itself is synonymous with darkness, corruption, exploitation and oppression.

The children of aristocratic families will not treat the common people as human beings.

In the era of war and chaos, the princes and warlords massacred and looted cities, causing millions of people to suffer.

Famine, man-made disasters, and plagues, once the world starts to turn bad, human life is as worthless as withered leaves in autumn.

And even in peaceful times, it doesn't mean you are safe.

When you meet a good emperor, you can be a little more stable.

If you are unlucky and encounter a tyrant who extorts money and acts recklessly, it will be a disaster for the people of the whole world.

More importantly, this is only the top class, and the people at the bottom actually have no access to the powerful.

What they met were low-level officials such as village pavilion chiefs, village elders, and county officials. If they were slightly unsatisfactory, they might be beaten to death by these people.

The county magistrate who destroyed the family, the prefect who destroyed the family.

There are also tycoons, aristocratic families, and powerful families in the county. It is easy to destroy a family of people.

Guan Yu later became powerful in China and had superb military power. Because he killed the county's powerful men when he was young, he was forced to leave his hometown and flee to Youzhou.

General Zang Ba, Cao Wei Zhendong, offended the prefect when he was young, and fled into the depths of Mount Tai for more than ten years.

Even those famous families may not be safe. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao killed countless famous families in Yanzhou and Jizhou. Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi, and Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, also killed a large number of officials and celebrities.

The world sucks.

The big man is like a pyramid, and any layer on the top can oppress the people at the bottom so that they can't breathe.

Except for a very few, most of the princes, warlords, and even the Yellow Turban bandits, as long as they have soldiers and horses in their hands and the means of violence they can use, they will definitely oppress and exploit the people at the bottom.

Shen Chen grew up in the village pavilion since he was a child, although because Deng and Chen's second clan belonged to the local rich family, they did not suffer much oppression and exploitation.

But what he saw with his own eyes and felt by himself was too numerous to count.

But even so, at the very beginning, he didn't want to do anything for this world, he just wanted to survive in troubled times.

One cannot choose a dangerous path because of kindness.

Sympathy is all sympathy, but at that time Shen Chen was only an eight-year-old child, and it was already very difficult to protect the clan, so why would he even talk about avenging others.

Until the killing knife quietly landed on his head, almost passing by his neck almost dangerously.

Only then did he understand that if he did not grasp the authority himself, the knife and the ax would one day be imposed on him.

Shen Chen never forgot, the massacre that night at Zhuangyangju, witnessed with his own eyes the scene where the seventh uncle next door was hacked to death, and countless relatives of the second Deng and Chen clan were slaughtered like pigs and sheep.

Even himself, like a mouse, curled up in the ditch and shivered in the fire, begging Cao soldiers not to find him.

So from that time on, and after coming to Jingzhou, Shen Chen knew about the three years of life experience.

If I don't do anything, sooner or later, life and death will be wiped out.

Just like in the famous American drama "House of Cards", the insignificant protester was tied up at the gate of Capitol Hill, and no matter how loudly he yelled, others would just treat him as a transparent person.

The only way to really make others value yourself is to make yourself stronger.

If Shen Chen had 20 elite soldiers, would Cao Cao dare to slaughter his clan and his relatives?

So from then on, Shen Chen understood a truth - if he wanted to protect the people he valued and fulfill the ideal in his heart, then let himself grow stronger!

So he worked hard in Jingzhou to strengthen his family, helped his uncle to the throne, won Gan Ning who was not reused, hoarded food and grass, and built weapons and equipment, all for today.

On the left bank of the turbulent water, it is February and mid-spring, the breeze blows the willows on the bank, and the wild grass basil that has grown to the ankle is swaying in the wind.

Shen Chen stood on a hillside about 30 meters above the ground.

In later generations, this location is actually about the height of the twelfth floor, not very far from Cao Cao, and both sides can hear each other's voice.

He was riding on horseback, staring at Cao Cao coldly.

He already has a certain understanding of the three views of the ancients in the Han Dynasty.

Now I also understand what these so-called famous families think.

Therefore, he did not intend to persuade Cao Cao not to engage in massacres in the future.

Since everyone doesn't have the same three views, then naturally there is nothing to talk about, just fight.

After that "revenge", more than a thousand Huangmenting soldiers behind Shen Chen suddenly roared violently.

In an instant, countless arrows came overwhelmingly, as if they wanted to tear the void and cover Cao Cao's position.

"Ding ding ding!"

The left and right personal guards immediately stepped forward and raised their shields to cover Cao Cao and Cao Hong's retreat.

"kill!"

Cao Cao fixed his eyes on Shen Chen, pointed his long sword at Shen Chen and said, "Whoever can kill or capture this person alive will be named Tinghou and rewarded with a thousand gold!"

"Humph."

Shen Chen smiled coldly.

Feng Tinghou, reward a thousand gold; Cao Cao is really generous.

Logically speaking, he is just a Sikong, and he is not qualified to be a Marquis for others at all.

But now that Liu Xie is in his hands, he really can seal whoever he wants.

For example, Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, Le Jin, Yu Jin and others were basically granted titles during this period.

Therefore, this promise is still very attractive to low-level soldiers.

For a moment, Cao Jun started to charge forward as if he had been injected with chicken blood, but Zhang Xiu's Xiliang Army was a little panicked.

After all, they were defeated only the day before yesterday, and facing Cao Jun today, it is inevitable that they will feel demoralized.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the long sound of the "woo woo woo" horn sounded.

Above the wilderness in the north, an army suddenly appeared.

Gan Ning successfully completed the task of sniping Yu Jin and came back to support him.

It turned out that when Shen Chen saw the terrain, he immediately guessed that Cao Cao would definitely choose to send a partial teacher to detour.

So he asked Zhang Xiu to stop Cao Cao by the river to delay the time, and then led soldiers from Huangmenting to help out, so that the total number of Zhang Xiu's troops was close to 8000.

Although it is still not as good as Cao Cao, the number of people is basically the same, not to mention that they are still occupying favorable terrain to fight blocking battles.

However, Gan Ning went north to intercept Yujin first, and repeated the old trick. When Jin's side was crossing the river, he sent ships to break the bridge, split the battlefield, and then devoured part of Cao's army.

After repelling this part of Cao's army, he immediately came back to support and rushed to the battlefield, and immediately became a situation of fighting more with less.

You must know that Cao Cao originally had 5000 troops at this moment, but Yu Jin led 3000 people to detour, so that there were only 2000 people around him, and some of the rear troops did not cross the river, and the number on the left bank was only seven or eight thousand.

On the other hand, after Gan Ning arrived on the battlefield, he had 5000 troops plus Zhang Xiu and Shen Chen's 8000 troops, and the total force reached 3000, which was actually more than Cao Cao's in a short period of time.

If people of later generations are familiar with the history of our army, they will find this set of tactics. Isn’t this TM just copying the style of play of several founding marshals and generals?
When one's own troops are less than the enemy's, first send a small group of troops to contain the enemy's main force, and then the main force cannibalize the enemy's partial division, slowly weakening the enemy's strength, and finally wait for the enemy's strength to be seriously damaged, and then wipe out the opponent in one fell swoop.

Many founding marshals and generals in later generations liked to use this tactic.For example, Xu Shuai's bold division of troops, attacking east and west, and Peng Shuai's "mushroom tactics" are all such styles of play.

Now Shen Chen can be regarded as imitating the example, and directly adopted this set, and applied it flexibly to the war in the era of cold weapons.

At this time, he was very grateful to his father, Old Shen.

Old Shen liked these very much, and bought a lot of books at home about how the great men and the founding marshals overcame obstacles to create a new era.

Shen Chen watched a lot during his free time in high school and college, and learned a lot of useful things.

At this moment, when Gan Ning arrived at the battlefield, the situation changed drastically.

Seeing the arrival of the reinforcements, Zhang Xiu was overjoyed and said: "The reinforcements are here, and Cao's army is weak. If you don't rush to kill them now, let's wait until when, kill them!"

"kill!"

The morale of the Xiliang army was greatly boosted, and they let out a roar that shook the sky.

　In the last chapter, I forgot to save my life. In this chapter, I did not say that Cao Cao was selfish, but that great man said it. It is too selfish to comment that Cao Cao is more lenient than he is stricter than others.However, the great man also praised Cao Cao and Liu Bei very much. He believed that Cao Cao had merits and demerits, and that Liu Bei had shortcomings but also advantages. Everything has two sides, so I will not only write about Cao Cao and Liu Bei’s personal character and problems, but also write about them. Based on the advantages and disadvantages of the characters, try to create a flesh-and-blood image for everyone.Just like Cao Cao massacred the city, but he also cried bitterly for Dianwei Cao Ang and others. People have complexities. It cannot be said that Cao Cao massacred the city, he must be ruthless, and it cannot be said that Liu Bei loves the people, so he must not make mistakes. So I'll try to present that complexity as best I can.
