Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 175 Cao Cao orders troops, my son will be the commander-in-chief of the three armies! [Dazhang asks for a subscription and asks for a monthly pass]

"Your Majesty, the Eldest Young Master is back!"

Cao Cao, who was discussing the military situation with everyone, suddenly heard a report from the servants of the mansion.

A fierce boy stood up.

"Quick, let him in!"

Following the sound of hurried but steady and powerful footsteps, the door of the meeting hall was pushed open.

Then Cao Ang's figure appeared in front of everyone.

I saw my baby son appear.

Cao Cao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I don't know why, such a major military event happened, and Cao Ang was not around, Cao Cao always felt a little empty and panic in his heart, as if his sense of security was greatly reduced.

"Father, I see that martial law has been raised at the city gate and in the city. Could it be that something major has happened?"

Cao Ang was bowing down to Cao Cao.

And after giving a little salute to others.

Straight to the point, he asked Cao Cao.

Cao Cao first signaled Cao Ang to take a seat, then handed him a document, and at the same time narrated in his mouth.

"This is the information sent half an hour ago. According to reliable information, the ant thief did not take advantage of the Jibei Kingdom, and is unwilling to continue to drag it in place. Now the large army has crossed the Jibei Kingdom."

"Multiple groups of troops have arrived in Dongping Kingdom, and the two largest troops seem to have joined forces. More than [-] troops captured Fucheng County, Zhang County and Wuyan County one after another. Southwest down."

"Inspector Liu has gathered nearly [-] soldiers and led his troops northward, preparing to fight the rebel army in Shouzhang County. He intends to finish his work in this battle and defeat the main force of the enemy."

really.

On the land of Yanzhou, this mighty drama is about to kick off. Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, is walking on his way to the underworld.

And the Cao family's opportunity has come!
Hear the enemy rolling in.

Cao Ang was a little excited for a moment, and his whole body seemed to be full of energy and blood, becoming agitated.

A fiery color flashed in his eyes.

Cao Ang slapped the document on the table, then looked at Cao Cao with burning eyes, and asked in a calm tone.

"After being defeated by Taishan County and Jibei Kingdom one after another, the forces of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou have been divided into multiple units. Even if the two largest groups cooperate in one place, there must still be scattered troops."

"Does father know where these small groups of troops are going?"

……

The atmosphere in the chamber was somewhat solemn.

Everyone felt a little nervous about the upcoming battle.

But when hearing such a question.

Cao Cao still couldn't help showing a little smile.

He pointed to the information that Cao Ang put on the table, and then said in a gentle tone.

"My son is smart. It's also written in the information on this matter. Except for the two large troops, the rest of the scattered troops are all heading northwest. They are now attacking Xuchang County."

"If it is as expected, Xuchang County should have been captured by today, and the next direction of this army is probably to take down Fan County."

Speaking of here.

Many things have become clear.

Fan County is the last barrier in the north of Jiyin County. Once this county is breached, it will be the three northern counties that will face the front of the rebel army.

This is why Cao Cao ordered martial law in the county.

Strict entry and wide exit from now on.

Once the battle in the north is unfavorable, or Liu Dai, who is facing the main force head-on, is defeated, Dingtao County, which is protected in the rear, will become the enemy's next target.

So you have to be ready now.

……

After exchanging some information.

Cao Cao put all the things in front of him, then stood up and pointed to the map hanging behind him.

Reverting to the previous serious look, he said to everyone in a deep voice.

"Although the large army of bandit soldiers has been taken over by Inspector Liu, even the scattered troops that were left out are still huge in strength and must not be underestimated!"

"I must not sit still and wait for death. Otherwise, if these ants are allowed to wreak havoc, the counties in the north will be completely destroyed, and half of Jiyin County will be lost before the battle."

"Besides, the ants feed off wars. The more cities they take down, the more food and grass they will plunder, and the more people they will coerce."

"If we were trapped in Dingtao County and waited for them to come here, then our army would have no chance of winning at that time."

Speaking of it.

Cao Cao patted heavily with his right hand at the location of Linqiu County in the north of Jiyin County.

Then he said loudly.

"So we must defend the enemy from outside the county gate. We must set up an indestructible line of defense in Juancheng, Linqiu County and Yuncheng to completely stop the enemy's footsteps."

"You must garrison troops in these three cities, do everything possible to guard against death, firmly block the enemy outside, let them be deterred, and return in spite of difficulties!"

Cao Cao's voice was impassioned.

The tone is even more decisive and unquestionable.

In fact, compared to other counties, Jiyin County is already considered to be unique in terms of geographical location.

Especially the northern defense line.

As long as the three cities are connected together to form an iron lock, the enemy will not be able to enter at all.

Because Yuncheng is close to Onozawa.

Such a huge lake was not enough for the bandits to cross, and after bypassing the east and west barriers, they were already out of the range of Jiyin County.

Therefore, the strategy of strictly guarding the northern line of defense.

It couldn't be more true.

……

As for the generals in the army sitting on the left and right, although they fought on the battlefield, they have not fought bloody battles with the enemy many times, so they are not experienced veterans.

But the basic truth is still understood.

Understand the benefits of doing so.

You can also hear the determination in Cao Cao's words.

Therefore, after Cao Cao's voice fell, everyone stood up one after another to express their position.

And Xia Houyuan, who moved the fastest, came to the center of the hall, clasped his hands and said to Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty, the last general invites you to fight!"

In fact, there are not many generals who can stand alone in the current Cao family forces, and the surnames Cao and Xiahou are still in the world, and Xiahouyuan is the best among them, with outstanding abilities on the battlefield.

So Cao Cao has no reason not to agree to him.

"Okay, Miao Cai is brave and good at fighting. He is also proficient in military strategy and has a lot of wisdom. He is enough to take on this great task."

"Then you will lead five thousand troops to strictly guard Juancheng County, and be sure to guard against death!"

Hearing that Cao Cao agreed to his request to fight.

Xia Houyuan was immediately overjoyed.

He still has some confidence in his ability, although this battle requires strict defense, which makes it difficult for his best blitzkrieg to be effective.

But who said you can't fight defensively if you play blitz?

A real warrior should be able to attack and defend!
Without further ado, Xia Houyuan clasped his fists to Cao Cao and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the final general will live up to your trust, even if the battle ends in one soldier, he will not back down half a step!"

……

And after Xia Houyuan got the order.

Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong are just about to move.

Cao Ang, who was sitting upright, suddenly cupped his hands to Cao Cao and said, "Father, Yuncheng is a small city, so the bandits probably won't divide their forces to attack."

"Here, Wen Yuan will lead the [-] soldiers of the Huben Battalion under my command to garrison and defend."

Thanks to the recent recruitment.

The Huben Camp had been expanded from less than 2000 soldiers to [-] soldiers. In fact, it can continue to expand, but there must be too little time right now.

And after hearing Cao Ang's words.

Zhang Liao hurried out quickly.

That's what he is, a little different from ordinary people.

Listen to the leader too much!
Cao Ang asked him to fight, and he went out without hesitation. If he was not allowed to go to the front line, Zhang Liao could stand there still.

Arrangements for the son.

Cao Cao has always attached great importance to it.

What's more, Zhang Liao is a general under his command. It is quite reasonable to arrange for him to lead thousands of people to defend Yuncheng, and there is no reason to refuse.

"good!"

"Then Wen Yuan will lead the troops of the headquarters and hurry to Yuncheng to station!"

Zhang Liao saluted Cao Cao.

Then he turned around and saluted Cao Ang.

"The last general takes orders!"

……

After arranging the two routes.

The rest of the way is the top priority.

That is, Linqiu County, where the three cities are in the middle.

It is larger than Yuncheng, and geographically farther east than Juancheng, so it will be the first big city that the Yellow Turbans come into contact with.

But this city is of great significance.

Once Linqiu County is breached.

The entire northern defense line has become a joke. The enemy can easily shuttle back and forth from the middle pocket, and even bloom from the middle to the east and west sides.

At that time, even Juancheng and Yuncheng will not be able to defend, and many plans will come to naught.

Therefore, the defensive pressure of this city must be the heaviest, and more troops must be mobilized, and at the same time, a general with outstanding ability who can take the lead must be selected to guard it.

Otherwise it is simply not enough to deal with.

But there's something bad about the problem.

The Cao family doesn't have many troops right now!

After splitting out two essential troops, the army is now stretched.

Originally, the combined strength of the father and son was only more than [-] people, including the expansion of the Huben Camp, and the emergency recall of Han Hao and Shi Huan.

A total of [-] troops.

Now after splitting up, there are only six thousand left, and then it is impossible for Cao Cao not to keep a single soldier in his own hands, he must have at least a thousand soldiers.

That number will be less.

At best, this city has five thousand soldiers and horses.

And when it is impossible to give more military support, if you want to defend this more pressured city, you must preside over the defenders, who have a very high level of commander and battlefield command ability.

Use technology to bridge the gap.

So here comes the question.

Who to choose to defend the city?

……

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment.

His eyes wandered back and forth among the few remaining people.

Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong, of course, are also some talented generals, but in his opinion, they seem not enough to take on such a big task.

It is not to disparage these two people.

But this battle is of great importance. Once they lose the battle, it will be a catastrophe for the Cao family.

The mighty bandit army went south and advanced all the way to Dingtao County, and it was impossible to defend it at that time.

I'm afraid that the family property that the Cao family has accumulated for such a long time will be wiped out in an instant.

So Cao Cao can't bet!
As for Cao Chun...

Cao Cao's eyes began to flicker, and there was a little emotion in his heart. This young man is capable of fighting. Maybe it shouldn't be a big problem for him to be the commander of the Central Army.

Just when Cao Cao was about to give an order.

"Shh!"

In the quiet hall, there was a sound of clothes rubbing, and then everyone saw Cao Ang who was sitting upright before, and suddenly got up at this moment.

Take big steps to the center of the hall.

Immediately afterwards, under the surprised eyes of the generals, Cao Ang clasped his hands together.

"Father, let me guard Linqiu County!"

……

This statement came out.

The crowd was suddenly in an uproar.

It was as if a vast boulder flew into the sea, stirring up huge waves, which made everyone a little horrified.

Cao Hong, Cao Chun and the others looked at each other in disbelief. They never expected that Cao Ang would stand up and ask for a fight at this juncture.

"No, absolutely not!"

Haven't waited for the crowd to say anything.

Cao Cao, who was the first to react, waved his hand and rejected Cao Ang's proposal without saying a word.

Are you kidding me?
Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, although as the leader of an army, he will always be well protected.

But no one can guarantee whether a stray arrow will fly out inadvertently, and then just hit Cao Ang's chest or neck.

Are there still few examples of military chiefs dying unexpectedly? Just counting them is a large list of names.

And most importantly.

It is because this battle was originally a battle with fewer enemies and more enemies, with extremely weak troops to defend the enemy's army from attacking, and was in a rather disadvantaged state.

This is more dangerous!
Think of the situation as worst.

Once the city is not defended, if Cao Ang does not withdraw in time before the city is broken, it is very likely that he will be surrounded by the enemy and even die as a result.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Cao Cao!
Say something dark.

If the many generals present had died on the battlefield, he would definitely be in great grief, and even cry bitterly over it.

But if compared with his own son, he would rather let these generals face danger.

My son is a unicorn descended from heaven. It was God who favored my Cao family and was born under my name.

Now it looks like it will soar into the sky.

If something goes wrong.

Wouldn't the wish of the Cao family, a century-old family, and even a famous family in the world, turn into a dream?

thought here.

Cao Cao shook his head even more firmly.

This stinky boy!

Don't you know the danger?

……

And with Cao Cao's statement.

The rest of the generals also spoke in agreement.

"Zixiu, the Lord Fu is right, you'd better stay in Dingtao County and sit behind the town!"

"Yeah, or you can be responsible for delivering food and grass to the front line, so you can count as participating in the war."

"Fujun, I think Zihe is good enough to take on the important task of guarding Linqiu County!"

Although Cao Cao only rejected Cao Ang's proposal and didn't say anything else, everyone understood the meaning.

I didn't think there was anything unreasonable.

Now the Cao family already has the embryonic form of a mature power, and Cao Ang is the heir to the power.

Protect the heir firmly in the rear and not allow him to go to the front line to fight bloody battles. Anyone can understand this, right?

And after hearing someone call his name.

Cao Chun took the initiative to join the ranks.

First, he bowed his hands to Cao Ang and saluted, and then said loudly and fearlessly to Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty, the last general please guard Linqiu County!"

Cao Cao couldn't wait and was ready to agree.

He was frightened by Cao Ang.

I'm afraid that this kid will say something like a tiger and a wolf again.

……

And seeing the crowd protest.

Cao Ang was also quite helpless.

The strange thing is that he has not shown any ability on the battlefield before.

Therefore, if you force a fight, everyone doesn't think Cao Ang can play a huge role.

On the contrary, it is really not worthwhile to take huge risks because of this, and there is no need for this.

Correct!
Cao Zixiu is very powerful in one-on-one combat, but no matter how good his martial arts are, he is also afraid of being sniped by others.

It's better to sit in the rear honestly and let professional people do professional things.

But the problem is that this goes against Cao Ang's plan.

Going north to guard the city and resist the bandit army is not just a battle, but also a major event related to the overall change.

If not for his presiding at the front.

The three generals in front are simply not enough to coordinate the overall situation, and I am afraid that they will not be able to respond in the fastest time to any subsequent changes in the situation.

That would be a missed opportunity.

Therefore, Cao Ang must go to this front line!
After thinking for a while.

Cao Ang decided to take a step back.

With a look of distress on his face, he cupped his hands helplessly and said to Cao Cao, "The child is no longer a baby bird that is sheltered under the wings. Sooner or later, he will participate in these things."

"However, since my father firmly opposes it, it is better to do this. Linqiu County will be guarded by General Cao Chun, and the child should only be accompanied by the army."

"Once there is any danger, I will immediately lead the people out of the city. You don't have to worry, you know my skills. Besides, I have General Dianwei accompanying me to protect me, so I won't fall into danger!"

……

The father and son stared wide-eyed.

Just staring at each other.

It seems that whoever moves away first, throws in the towel.

After a while like this.

Cao Cao said with a gloomy face, "Forget it, I can't compete with you for my father."

"Since you insist on going, then I won't stop you anymore, and I will do as you say."

"Zihe, Linqiu County will be guarded by you with [-] elite soldiers, and you must make it difficult for the enemy to advance even half a step!"

Cao Chun took the order immediately.

Then Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang.

After deliberating for a while, he finally made up his mind, waved his right hand, and said loudly.

"Zixiu, you will be the commander-in-chief of the three armies in this northern defense battle, and all the generals will accept your command!"

As soon as Cao Cao said this.

Cao Ang was a little surprised.

He looked at his father in surprise.

Our father is still very courageous!

After knowing that Cao Ang's intention to go to the front could not be stopped, he did the opposite and simply appointed Cao Ang as the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

As such.

As long as all three cities on the front line are defended, it is equivalent to a big victory.

As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Cao Ang will get most of the dividends brought by this victory.

As long as it goes well, you will become famous in the first battle!
Gee!
Cao Ang couldn't help but praise secretly in his heart.

Lao Cao still has two brushes, and this mental plan is by no means simple.

He didn't need to say much.

Immediately cupped his hands and cupped his fists, and took the order.

……

After most of the trunk is arranged properly.

Next, Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Dun to be in charge of raising food for the army, to gather all the food in several surrounding counties, and then Cao Hong led a troop to transport it to supply the front line with food and grass.

The meeting was subsequently announced to be dissolved.

Let the generals who received the military order just now go get ready immediately after the meeting is over.

They will be leaving within two days at the latest.

Wait for the crowd to disperse.

Cao Ang first grabbed Cao Chun and said a few words in his ear, and Cao Chun nodded after listening.

Then he went to find Cao Cao.

"Father, there is one thing I didn't say just now. Among the five thousand soldiers you allocated to General Cao Chun, I am going to replace 1000 of them with cavalry."

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment.

Then he said with some surprise: "Has the number of cavalry already exceeded a thousand? When Zihe came to report this to me a few days ago, he said that there were only a few hundred cavalry."

Regarding this, Cao Ang nodded first.

Then he leaned in front of Cao Cao, with a little smile on his face, and said in a low voice.

"These days, I asked him to buy a batch of war horses regardless of the price. I happened to meet a few horse dealers from the north, so I added a batch."

"A few of them still want to sell at a price. It is obvious that they want to kill us. I suppressed them and forced them to buy and sell at the strike price."

Hear this.

A stern light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes.

"I don't know what is good or bad, but when it comes to our Cao family's territory, do you still want to hoard it?"

"Ang'er, you did a good job. You don't have to be polite to this kind of people, but you are still too kind. You should clean up everything and erase all traces of them. There is no need to do normal business with them."

Cao Cao is not a good master.

He can be ten times worse than the wicked.

After Cao Ang tasted the taste.

He also nodded happily.

"Understood, father, don't worry, they will fall into the hands of bandits and thieves along the way when they return."

"So there is nothing wrong with our reputation."

Cao Cao immediately nodded in satisfaction.

He is mainly worried about things like killing unknowing businessmen, which will affect his good reputation and lead to fewer businessmen coming and going.

Otherwise, there is no need to forge such an illusion.

Just kill it and it's over.

……

After learning about this matter.

Cao Cao remembered what Cao Ang said earlier.

The brows could not help but wrinkle slightly.

"Since it is a battle to defend the city, the cavalry will be inconvenient, unless you plan to send the cavalry outside to harass."

"Is that what you think?"

"If this is the case, there is no need to replace it. It is nothing more than adding this team of cavalry on top of the original five thousand soldiers."

The voice fell.

Cao Ang shook his head.

"Father can't!"

"If this is the case, then the remaining troops in your hands will be less than two thousand. If you only have more than a thousand people in your hands, it is really too dangerous."

"Especially right now, Liu Gongshan is leading his troops to fight the rebel army in Shouzhang County."

"Its victory or defeat is unknown, and the possibility of defeat is even greater. Once the battle situation is not good, then I am afraid that we will face the front of the army after we are located in Shanyang County."

"You must have more than [-] troops in your hands to be able to deal with many situations!"

Cao Ang's words are full of truth.

Cao Cao was also irrefutable.

He knew it was true.

If all the troops in his hands are dispatched and he leaves an empty shell for himself, once the front line changes, the rear will collapse.

thought here.

Cao Cao didn't bother anymore.

He nodded solemnly.

"it is good!"

"I will act according to your plan!"

"It's just going forward, you must act carefully and never be reckless. Once something happens, the first priority is to protect yourself."

"Even if you lose your city, lose your troops, and lose your generals, as long as you are still intact, you can make a comeback."

"On the contrary, if something goes wrong with you, even if you defend the city, it will be a big loss for the father!"
