Chapter 456: The Infatuated One in the Cao Wei Clan

After hearing this, Cao Zhang nodded repeatedly.

Xiahou Shang, who was standing by, seemed to be hesitant to speak after hearing this.

Even Tian Yu, who had been in Peking for a long time, had a gleam in his eyes at this moment.

While everyone was talking, Yishui River was already before them.

Seeing the river water sparkling, Xiahou Shang immediately suggested:
"This place is close to water and has open terrain, which is suitable for camping."

Cao Zhang did not hesitate when he heard this, his eyes flashing with the urge to gallop onto the battlefield:
"Why set up camp? We must cross the river quickly, time is running out!"

"Ah?" Xiahou Shang was stunned when he heard that!
For a moment, I opened my mouth and couldn't say anything.

He seemed to find it hard to believe Cao Zhang's reckless decision!

You know, the three armies have been marching for days without a moment's rest.

But Cao Zhang remained heroic when facing the enemy camp.

Now you can't eat or sleep well, and you still plan to move forward?

Where in the world has there ever been such a fighting method?

Seeing this, Tian Yu followed closely and advised earnestly:
"General, this is inappropriate!"

"We have come from afar, and our troops have been exhausted."

"How can you act so rashly?"

"Today, the area north of Yishui is the territory where the rebels are rampant."

"Our army's whereabouts have long been discovered by them. We expect them to set up their battle array and wait for us on the other side."

"Now the enemy has not yet shown its shadow, I am afraid they are hiding in ambush behind the thickets of trees."

Unexpectedly, Cao Zhang disagreed and said:

"With so many concerns, how can we defeat the enemy?"

"When two armies meet, the brave one wins."

"Our army is fighting with its back to the river, and we can catch the enemy by surprise!"

Cao Zhang has been working day and night for days without taking off the saddle.

My passion is so intense that I am about to express it. Now that I have come this long way, how can I delay?

Seeing this, Xiahou Shang hurriedly followed suit and tried his best to persuade him:
"As the Art of War says, the best strategy is to attack the enemy's weak points and avoid their strong points!"

"To control the enemy but not be controlled by the enemy, if you are attacked halfway across the river, is a great taboo in military strategy!"

Cao Zhang's expression was firm, with an unquestionable light flashing in his eyes.

"Before we go to war, my father has something to say."

"'Between family and country, between father and son, ruler and subject, all actions must be in accordance with the king's law!'"

"Now that this general has been entrusted with the important task of suppressing the rebellion, I will take the lead and fight a quick and decisive battle."

"How can we give strength to the enemy by being cowardly?"

"The Wuhuan and Xianbei are wild and untamed."

"Only by the sword can we make them sincerely convinced!"

Cao Zhang's words were powerful and he was appointed commander-in-chief for the first time.

Taking a risky move in the first battle, are you really confident?
Seeing this, Tian Yu hurriedly looked at Sima De beside him.

It is said that this wise military strategist, who is well-known in the court and the country, has always been trusted by the King of Wei.

Now that he is going with the army, I think he is also going to give advice to Cao Zhang.

But now Cao Zhang, the commander-in-chief, insisted on advancing recklessly, and no one spoke out to dissuade him.

Tian Yu was suddenly a little unsure.

To be on the safe side, he gritted his teeth and said:
"If the general decides to cross the river and attack the enemy."

"I do have a plan, but I cannot guarantee success."

After these words were spoken, even Sima De couldn't help but turn his head to look.

Cao Zhang said with great interest:

"Tian Taishou has a good plan. Zhang would like to hear the details!"

Hearing this, Tian Yu organized his words and then slowly said:
"Just as Military Advisor Sima said."

"The Hu people walk like wild beasts and scatter like flying birds."

"Although he is skilled in riding, shooting and fighting, he is not good at forming battle array, let alone the art of attacking a city."

"Now if we want to force our way across the river, we should first build a fortification along the river with baggage and chariots."

"The general stays in the middle and deals with the enemy, making it difficult for them to get close."

“This is the only way to win”

After hearing Tian Yu's plan, Sima De nodded slowly.

"What Mr. Tian said is indeed a mature and prudent strategy."

"In the days of Emperor Wu of Han, General Wei Qing defeated the Xiongnu with his chariot array."

"If our army does this, the northern barbarians will be helpless."

He was a great general in the history of the Three Kingdoms who was feared in the northern border.

Naturally, Tian Yu’s opinions should be adopted.

Not to mention his historical achievements in defeating the Xianbei in the north and Sun Wu in the east.

Just take this person who has been guarding the northern border for Cao Wei for many years.

The fact that the Hu people in Youzhou were suppressed and could not raise their heads was enough to show his extraordinary talent.

Even in history, his second brother Sima Yi was appointed Grand Sima.

He even personally went out to try to recruit Tian Yu into his army.

But this person always sticks to his principles and is not swayed by temptation.

This makes later generations admire Tian Yu's loyalty even more.

At this time, Cao Zhang heard even Sima De say this.

Today, he waved his hand and said:

"Okay! I'll do as you say and quickly mobilize the baggage vehicles."

"I want to cross the river immediately and wipe out the barbarians!"

"Wait a minute, General!" Xiahou Shang also quickly stretched out his hand to dissuade him:
"It is said that a son of a wealthy family should not sit in the hall!"

"This move is fraught with danger, General, please do not lead the troops!"

Cao Zhang waved his hand when he saw this:

"Okay, okay! When the two armies are on the battlefield, we can just act according to circumstances!"

Although he didn't promise not to charge forward.

But his tone revealed a determination that could not be refuted.

Seeing this, Tian Yu couldn't help but stepped forward and reminded:
"The safety of the three armies depends on the commander-in-chief. I hope the general will be cautious!"

After saying that, he bowed to Sima De.

I hope this military advisor will keep an eye on this commander-in-chief.

But don't let this guy mess around in front of the battle!
Then he turned around and left, passing on the general's orders.

However, Cao Zhang had already issued the order.

But his feet did not stop for a moment.

At this time, everyone saw him driving his horse faster and faster!
With such a fast-moving team, how could the chariots overtake the vanguard?

Tian Yu had no choice but to assign fifteen soldiers to each vehicle.

Speed ​​up these chariots and push them forward at full speed.

Hundreds of soldiers pushed the vehicles to the front while taking a breath.

At the same time, they also arrived at the bank of Yishui River.

However, the follow-up troops had not yet caught up.

Cao Zhang was extremely anxious and wanted to launch a boat across the river immediately.

He also insisted on taking the lead and personally being the main attacker.

Xiahou Shang, who was standing aside, was staring at the opposite bank.

All I saw were distant mountains, lush forests, and a slight rise of dust.

This clearly means that there are enemy ambushes on the other side of the river.

I was immediately filled with worry and finally couldn't help it.

The present emperor knelt down under Cao Zhang's horse hooves and kowtowed repeatedly, saying:

"General! General, you must not act rashly!"

"If the general makes a mistake, not only will the three armies suffer, but the prestige of the country will also be damaged."

"It is even more unbearable for the king to suffer the pain of separation from his own flesh and blood!"

"I hope the general will think twice and take the safety of the army into consideration."

"The stability of the northern border comes first, and the country and society are the most important..."

The words were so sincere that Sima De, who was standing by, looked at him differently.

Xiahou Shang was historically listed as one of the Eight Tiger Riders of Cao Wei.

He punched Eastern Wu and kicked Western Shu, and made outstanding achievements in his life.

He was also deeply trusted by Cao Pi. Such a talented general should have achieved great things.

Unexpectedly, he died of depression because of a woman.

He is also famous for the proverb "I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me."

Since ancient times, love has been followed by regrets, and Xiahou Shang is such an infatuated man.

And now this person is the victim in history whose concubine was chopped off by Cao Pi.

Now, he knelt down in front of the battle and tried to persuade Cao Zhang.

This is somewhat unexpected, but also reasonable.

Surprisingly, he was Cao Pi's confidant.

This guy actually took the initiative to stand up and persuade Cao Zhang not to put himself in danger.

If it were Cao Pi himself, he would probably wish that Cao Zhang would be defeated and killed in the battle.

But what is commendable is that Xiahou Shang considered the overall situation.

He took the initiative to step forward and stop Cao Zhang.

This is a contradictory and thankless task.

Only Xiahou Shang could do it.
