Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 307: General Hussars fulfills his duties with unparalleled loyalty
  "Drumming, gather the generals!"

"General, do you really want to raise an army?" Cao Xiu, who was sitting next to him, was immediately shocked. After just a few words, do you really want to raise an army?

Why don't you be so arbitrary?

Zhang Wu raised his eyebrows: "What?"

Cao Xiu said again: "Sun Sheng said that those who ascend to high positions should not raise armies out of anger. Those who command an army should not be angry and go to war."

"Okay, Wen Lie, you have read the book of war for two days and now you are telling me about the art of war? Didn't the sage tell you that it is not advisable to take quotes out of context? The Lord cannot raise an army in anger, and the general cannot fight in anger. What are the last two sentences? Tell me. look."

"Move according to the interests, stop if it does not suit the interests."

Zhang Wu sneered twice: "Then do you think it is in my interests to send troops now, or is it not in my interests?"

Cao Xiu was speechless and retreated cautiously.

Since the beginning of spring.

Yuan Shao deployed his troops extensively along the border between Wei and Qinghe counties, displaying his chariots and horses, and was always on guard against a surprise attack by Cao's army.

Yuan Shao's meaning is already obvious:
  The war has been dragged around Wei County. As long as Cao Cao doesn't move, he is happy to be a tortoise.

Although the array was sufficient, it was definitely not planned by the hero.

When two armies are fighting, how can one calculate the gains and losses of a city or a land?

If Yuan Benchu ​​of Hebei still had great ambitions, he would definitely shrink his strength at this time, and use all his strength to fight Cao while his vitality is still intact.

The battle was won, and the northern hegemon changed his position. If you lose the fight, you will see your fame and glory again.

Yuan Shao was acting like this, obviously he had lost his ambition and just wanted to settle down.

The real trouble is here.

The Yuan family in Hebei had a wide network of contacts, sufficient money and food, and good soldiers. If I retreat, how long will I have to fight here?

Once the north is plunged into an endless tug of war.

After all, Lao Yuan still occupies the land of Ji and Youzhou. If he wants to push all the way across, attacking the city will be a big trouble that cannot be avoided.

Not to mention the time and effort required, Cao's army's casualties will increase exponentially by then.

What Zhang Wu has to do now is to act as a troublemaker.

Five thousand Yunhui's fine cavalry thrown onto the frontal battlefield where two major princes were fighting might not be a big trouble.

However, Zhang Wu was able to control his horse in Jizhou, coming and going like the wind.

The dispatch of troops to Zhongshan this time was a wake-up call for Yuan Shao.

——It is not advisable to passively avoid war.

Five thousand cavalry cannot occupy a county.

But because of Zhang Wu's presence, this cavalry can capture any city in one day.

Yes, Yuan Shao's army is currently stationed in Qinghe County. Zhang Wu was really helpless.

But this time as long as I can successfully capture Yuan Xi.

Yuan Shao should think about whether he will follow in the footsteps of his second son when he goes out in the future.

The rabbit bites people when it is anxious, let alone the overlord of two states.

So this time, it seemed that Zhang Wu was angry and raising troops, but in fact he was forcing Yuan Shao to recruit troops for a decisive battle.

As for deposing the Zhang family and subduing the Zhen family, it was just a matter of convenience.

Xiangfu.

Dian Wei came in and announced: "King Wei, Zi Qian wishes to see you."

"I'm afraid this boy can't sit still. He heard the war drums of Beiying beating early in the morning. This time he came here to invite a fight. Please come in." Not long after, Zhang Wulong walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Cao Cao sat on the throne, with Xun Yu accompanying him on his right.

In the distance, there are also clerks with swords and pens recording the words and deeds of the King of Wei. These things will be sorted out later and will be the most important evidence for historians to compile history.

But the person with the pen and paper was actually the young Zhuge Liang.

It's a bit overkill.

"Father-in-law, the five thousand Yunhui have been counted. Please grant me a tiger talisman. I will send troops to destroy Yuan Xi now."

Before Cao Cao could answer, he only listened to Zhuge Liang beside him as he took notes and muttered something:
  "On the sixth day of the fifth month of the first year of Jian'an, the hussar general Zhang Wu asked for a battle. When he saw the king of Wei, he refused to bow to him. His words and deeds were rude."

Ma Pi! ~
  Zhang Wu, who had secretly lamented Kong Ming's humiliation just now, almost fell to the ground.

"Kong Ming, you are looking for trouble!" He said, shaking his closed fists vigorously: "Which of your eyes saw that I don't bow to the king when I see him?"

Zhuge Liang stood up and bowed, Yun Danfeng said softly: "Zhou Li has a saying, see the king's etiquette."

Zhang Wu was impatient and interrupted: "Okay, okay, I'm just a martial artist, Zhou Li, you know nothing, please change the paragraph just now for me."

Zhuge Liang chuckled, sat down, and wrote again: "The general is relying on his strength and wants to change the hall records."

"You are going too far. Believe it or not, I will kill you!"

"That's enough. Kong Mingke has just done his duty!" On the throne, Cao Cao smiled with a teasing look on his face: "It's really time for you to change your frivolous temper. Tell me, where is Yuan Xi? How did you know about it?"

Zhang Wu glared at Zhuge Liang fiercely and then said: "Yuan Xi is in Zhongshan County at the moment. It was revealed by the family letter of Zhen Yan's mother Zhang."

Cao Cao is not a fool like Cao Xiu.

Naturally, he can figure out the joints. He only cares about one question: "The Yunhui camp has only been established for a short period of time, and its combat power has not been demonstrated. How about sending three thousand flying bears under Xian's command to suppress the formation?"

Zhang Wu waved his hand: "No need. This battle is to scare Yuan Benchu. If the flying bear is used, the effect will be greatly reduced. Father-in-law, don't worry, there are five thousand Yunhui cavalry. Jizhou is so big that I can go there. Capture little Yuan." Xi is no problem”

Cao Cao raised his hand and took out half of the tiger talisman and handed it to Zhang Wu.

"Don't wait too long. Go and come back quickly."

"Order."

Zhang Wu turned around and raised his hand to point to Zhuge Liang from afar: "That little brat, it's so boring to memorize things in the hall. Come, come and see me on the battlefield."

"Me?" Zhuge Liang's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although Zhuge Liang has a weak temper, at this age, no matter how weak his temper is, he still has the blood of a middle school student in his body. How could he not yearn to go to the battlefield and guide the country?

"Hurry back and pack your bags. In half an hour, we will be on standby at the north gate of Yecheng."

"A word is settled!"

As soon as Zhuge Liang left, Zhang Wu hurried to the notebook.

His lifelong reputation could not be ruined by the hands of the pen-wielding clerk. He immediately scratched out the previous line and wrote crookedly: General Zhang Wu of the Hussars. He is dedicated to his duties and has unparalleled loyalty. He will win in battle and defeat in attack. He is truly the pillar of the country.

"Just go ahead and fool around. If the historian knows that you have altered the court records without permission, you will be classified as a sycophant."

"Father-in-law, I helped you get rid of a follower. You have to take care of this little thing for me."

"So I have to thank you, so get out of here!"

After Cao Cao finished scolding, he smiled knowingly.

Being the King of Wei is not easy either. His words and deeds have to be remembered every day, and most of his freedom in life is restricted.

Before the war broke out, he also wanted to leave government affairs behind to spend time with his wife and children.

He simply sent Xun Yu away and walked to the inner house to mind his own business.
