Who is not Cao Cao?

Chapter 166 Confrontation
Yu Jin and Li Dian came from Yanzhou respectively. In this way, with Cao Cao's patchwork, it can be regarded as barely gathering [-] soldiers and horses to resist Liu Bei and Liu Biao.

Yu Jin is very cold, and he knows He Yan after nodding his head.

Among the four, Yu Jin was the only one who followed Cao Cao to fight in Nanyang, so Yu Jin was the first to give the strategy for this war——

"The main thing is to defend Bowangpo."

"Bowang Po faces Funiu Mountain in the north, Yinshan Mountain in the south, and Baihe River in the west. It is a hillock extending from Funiu Mountain here. The terrain is dangerous and it is the thoroughfare of the "Xianghan Pass"."

"As long as you stay here, Liu Bei will naturally retreat when Sikong finishes dealing with the war in the east."

Whether it is fighting a war or running an army, Yu Jin is rigorous.

He knew that Cao Cao had come to appoint him as the firefighting captain, so he should be his firefighting captain.

As for the remaining "counterattack Liu Bei" and "counterattack Jingzhou", it was never in his plan.

"We can lead our troops to station on the east side of Bowang Slope, so that Liu Bei dare not attack Wan County easily. In this case, Wan County can naturally support each other with our high walls and high walls."

After Yu Jin set up this line of defense, he discussed Liu Biao with Xia Houyuan.

Yes, if only Liu Bei led 3000 people, Cao Cao would not have pulled out Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin, and He Yan all at once.

The most important thing is Liu Biao.

In case Liu Bei succeeds, Liu Biao, the black hand hiding behind his back, is likely to send troops along the way.

Jingzhou's [-] armored soldiers are just a false rumor, or the [-] soldiers cannot be transferred by Liu Biao at will.

First of all, Jiangxia Huangzu had [-] soldiers to guard against Jiangdong. Liu Biao would not move this part of his troops even if he was killed.

Don't look at Jiangdong's mess because of Sun Cezhi's death, and He Yan took the opportunity to go over and cut a piece of meat, but the defense line on the west line has never been messed up.

Tai Shici, who guards Chaisang, is in a sense similar to Zang Ba who helped Cao Cao guard Xuzhou. His autonomy is quite high. If Jiangxia is empty, Tai Shici will probably take the initiative to send troops to take Jiangxia in one fell swoop. Jingzhou.

In addition to Jiang Xia's troops, Liu Biao, the [-] soldiers used to suppress Jingnan, is also unlikely to move. After all, Jingnan has just been pacified. Once Liu Biao's soldiers withdraw, no one knows whether Jingnan will rebel. Liu Biao dare not go Bet on this probability.

The rest are private soldiers in the hands of the family.

Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and other families did not support Liu Biao's Northern Expedition, and only hoped to keep Jingzhou and the stability, so Liu Biao should not even think about giving instructions to this part of the force.

In this way, Liu Biao can only move [-] to [-] troops from Wenpin.

There are [-] sailors among these troops, which are of no help to the battle in Nanyang. Therefore, if Liu Biao really goes to the north, he can only use roughly [-] troops.

The defense line arranged by Yu Jin is not only aimed at Liu Bei's [-] soldiers, but more of the [-] Liu Biao soldiers who may go north in the future.

"Fortunately, Ye County is quite close to Xuchang, so the supply of food and grass is not a problem."

Xiahou Dun was quite satisfied with the strategic arrangement of the ban, and unknowingly began to habitually start thinking about logistics.

"I wrote to Ren Jun. He said that this year's harvest in Yuzhou is so good that he can support me to wait for three or four months. If there is no accident, Meng De can come back from Cangting at that time."

Yu Jin nodded: "I have also heard about this matter. It is said that Hongnong Yang's manure method based on the new learning can increase food production. Such a technique of benefiting the country can be regarded as God bless the Han Dynasty."

Xiahou Dun seemed to suddenly think of something, so he turned his head and asked He Yan: "Yulang, you have been in Xuchang for a long time, do you know Yang Xiu?"

"Yang Xiu? Not familiar..."

At this time, Li Dian also approached like a curious baby: "Shenhou, then you are in Xuchang, and you have also read the new scriptures?"

"New learning? No..."

Li Dian was a rare Confucian general, and he was very interested in Confucian classics. When he heard that He Yan did not study new learning, he also had a look of disappointment in his eyes.

Xiahou Dun saw He Yan being "ignorant and incompetent", so he immediately put up the airs of his elders and taught him: "Yulang, people always need to study more! I heard Meng De said in his letter that new learning is good learning." , you should learn."

"Ah yes yes yes."

After He Yan perfunctoryly dealt with Xiahou Dun, he shifted the issue to the battle in front of him.

In fact, with the help of several generals in the army, the military structure of this battle is already very clear.

Xiahou Dun is nominally the leader, but his strategy and tactics are all out of the ban. He Yan and Li Dian are responsible for paddling desperately.

Opposite Cao Jun's side is Liu Bei who has rushed to the vicinity of Ye County.

After Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Ren, Man Chong, and He Yan (paddle water) in Runan in the past and fled to Jingzhou, after a year of recuperation, he finally recovered.

With the support of Liu Biao, a big family, the soldiers under Liu Bei's command are exceptionally well equipped, not inferior to Liu Bei's elite troops when he was the Xuzhou pastor.

But Liu Biao is also a very chicken thief. The money and food he gave Liu Bei will always be enough for Liu Bei to form such a small army, no matter how much...that is not even a five baht coin!
Zhang Fei, who came here with Liu Bei in Xinye, was very dissatisfied with this. He complained to Liu Bei more than once during the march: "Master, Liu Jingsheng is really short-sighted! Now that Nanyang is empty, he only needs to prepare 7000 for us... No! 3000 people With more soldiers and horses, we can easily take Nanyang! Now there are no more than [-] people, how can we achieve great things?"

Listening to Zhang Fei's complaint, Liu Bei shook his head slightly: "Yide must not be rude!"

"Brother Jing Sheng must have his own difficulties! Besides, it is a great kindness that he is willing to take us in. Don't be greedy!"

Hearing Liu Bei's reprimand, Zhang Fei lowered his head a little dissatisfied, and kept muttering: "It was agreed that we are all clan relatives of the Han Dynasty, and everyone will restore the Han Dynasty together. In the end, the Lord is not the only one who is really fighting against the traitor thief……"

Liu Bei naturally heard Zhang Fei's words, but he didn't reprimand him again.

From Youzhou to Jizhou, from Jizhou to Qingzhou, from Qingzhou to Xuzhou, and from Xuzhou to Jingzhou...

Every time he leaves his hometown, for Liu Bei, it is actually a reshaping of his three views.

The war between his classmate Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao made Liu Bei realize that morality is not important in this world, and that the youthful spirit of the past is completely vulnerable to reality.

Later, when he became Xuzhou Mu, Liu Bei saw for the first time a war where the upper class did not see swords and guns, and understood that only those with resources are the real masters of this world.

Later, from Lu Bu to Yuan Shu, from Yuan Shu to Cao Cao...

Along the way, the former reckless Liu Bei has long since died, and now the one who continues to fight is Liu Bei who recognizes the truth, makes friends with aristocratic families, and uses rules to achieve great things.

If it was before, maybe Liu Bei would scold Liu Biao along with Zhang Fei.

But after going through so much, and Liu Bei staying in Jingzhou for so long, he can more or less clearly see some of the power struggles in Jingzhou and understand Liu Biao's many deeds.

"The current Liu Jingzhou cannot send troops easily."

"Only when we win a big victory and let those inside Jingzhou see that Cao Cao is sleepy, they will support Liu Jingzhou to send troops."

"Otherwise, let alone sending troops to the Northern Expedition, I am afraid that disasters will happen inside Jingzhou!"

Speaking of this, Liu Bei also laughed at himself: "It's like Xuzhou back then..."

When Zhang Fei heard Liu Bei mentioned Xuzhou, he didn't dare to continue chatting there, so he had to ride on his horse and keep on his way.

At this moment, Liu Bei looked back at Guan Yu and Zhao Yun who were beside him: "Yun Chang, Zilong, why are you not interested in this trip?"

Guan Yu still had a cold and arrogant face, but Zhao Yun had an unnatural smile on his face.

After all, both of them came from Cao Cao, and now they are going to attack Cao Cao... This makes Zhao Yun, whose moral standards are still online, somewhat unacceptable.

After seeing the wry smile on Zhao Yun's mouth, Liu Bei roughly guessed what the two of them were thinking.

"Zilong, I heard that you get along well with that Marquis Shen."

"Actually, my personal relationship with Meng De is also very good, but..."

"Those are all small righteousness!"

"In the face of true righteousness, personal friendship is only mediocre!"

Liu Bei persuaded: "We are waiting to help the Han family, but Cao Cao is a Han thief who is holding the emperor hostage! We and Cao Cao are destined to be enemies!"

I thought that Zhao Yun would immediately admit his mistake at this time and show his determination to help the Han family, but Zhao Yun suddenly asked a question at this time: "General Liu, the Kuangfu Han family you mentioned...is it Liu's Han family?" ?”

Liu Bei frowned at this question, and even Zhang Fei was awakened. He raised his head and scolded Zhao Yun angrily, "Zilong! Are you confused? The Han Dynasty is not the Han Dynasty of Emperor Liu, so whose Han Dynasty can it be?"

Zhao Yun couldn't say anything more when he saw Zhang Fei getting angry, so he continued to ride on the horse absent-mindedly.

Along the way, Zhao Yun was thinking about a sentence that He Yan once said beside him——

"The Han Dynasty should not be Liu's Han Dynasty."

"Just like the world, it shouldn't be Liu's world..."

The quarrel between Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei naturally fell into Guan Yu's eyes, but Guan Yu just used his thick beard as a cover and sighed slightly.

Along the way, the atmosphere of Liu Bei's army, which was in the stage of transformation, was a bit dull.

When Liu Beijun rushed to Ye County, Cao Jun had already set up a defense line, and the red and bright military flags made Liu Bei, who knew Cao Jun's generals, feel like he was facing an enemy.

【Xiahou】

【At】

【plum】

【what】

【Plagiarized Yao】?
Liu Bei had fought against both Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin, so he was familiar with both of them.

But who are [Li] and [He]?

Guan Yu, who had been in Cao Ying for a while, finally spoke.

"[Li] should be Li Dian, the son of Li Zheng. This son is a young hero. He is often praised by people in the army, and he looks like an elder."

"As for 【He】..."

Thinking of the familiar figure in his memory, Guan Yu stroked his beard, and his eyes burst out with fighting intent: "He Piaoyao, he is the young man that the Lord met in Runan in the past!"
