Cao Thief

Chapter 315 Forcing Jia Xu to offer advice (33) Asking for a monthly ticket
Xudu, Daying Camp in the northern suburbs.

It was originally an open wasteland, overgrown with weeds.

However, since the first year of Jian'an, when Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Han and moved his capital to Xu County, the wasteland became the concentration of the five schools of the Northern Army.

In normal times, each of the five schools of the Northern Army has its camps, which are stationed in all four directions of Xudu.

In the camp of the Northern Army, there is only one school of soldiers and horses stationed, and there is a cavalry camp over there.

After all, it can't compare with Luoyang, an ancient imperial capital of nearly a thousand years. No matter in terms of urban structure or area, Xu can't compare with Luoyang.

As far as this camp in the northern suburbs is concerned, it is more than enough for a school to be stationed, and there is still a lot of space.

But if the five schools were stationed in the camp in the northern suburbs, it would obviously not be able to accommodate the five schools.But if it was in Luoyang, a camp in the northern suburbs would be more than enough to garrison the five schools.This is also when in Luoyang, the camp of the Northern Army was called the Northern Army Camp; but in Xudu, it can only be called the Northern Suburb Camp.Here, it is only a place where the five schools are concentrated. If you want to station the soldiers and horses of the five schools, you must at least expand the area several times.

As a middle marshal of the Northern Army, Cao Peng did not belong to the five schools and formed his own system.

So after arriving at the camp in the northern suburbs, he went straight to the camp of the Chinese army.At this time, a lot of people have come to the big tent of the Chinese army...

Tunqi school captain Lu Qian, a native of Renchengguo in Yanzhou.

As early as when Caocai raised troops in Dongjun County, he followed Caocao. He was the lieutenant of Xiangben, the prefect of Mount Tai, and put down the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army many times.After Lu Bu was killed in the third year of Jian'an, Zang Ba replaced Lu Qian as the prefect of Mount Tai, and Lu Qian was transferred to Xudu as the captain of Tunqi.This person is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also has excellent archery skills.What's rare is that Lu Qian is also good at running the army, proficient in the art of war, and belongs to the general who can suppress one side in the army.If you go to a place, you will have talents in internal affairs. Taishan County has achieved remarkable results under Lu Qian's rule.

Xi Li, the school captain of Yueqi, serves as a servant and leads the army.

He doesn't know martial arts, and he doesn't understand the art of war.However, under his rule, Yueqiying was quite effective.

Shi Huan, captain of Shesheng, was born in Peiguo, Yuzhou.

He used to be a knight-errant when he was young. After Cao Cao raised his army, he joined the army as a guest soldier and served as a lieutenant in the Chinese army.

During the expedition, he often served as a supervisor to monitor the generals.In the fourth year of Jian'an, Shi Huan and Zhang Liao became captains of Shesheng after Shegou beheaded Suigu.

Wang Ze, a lieutenant of the Infantry Army, was born in Taiyuan, Bingzhou.

In addition to the captains of the four schools, Zhong Ji, the former captain of Changshui, was killed for conspiracy.In view of the fact that the fifth school of the Northern Army is permanently stationed in Xudu and has a heavy responsibility, it is necessary to arrange confidantes as generals, so you can rest assured.So after Cao Cao thought for a long time, he ordered Hou Lejin of Guangchang Pavilion to take up the post.

This Le Jin was also the first to follow Cao Cao.

As early as when the princes of the 22nd Route attacked Dong Zhuo, Le Jin was Cao Cao's official.

Later, he moved to be the captain of the battle, and he must go up first in every battle, and he is extremely brave.From the third year of Chuping to today, he has experienced more than a hundred battles in ten years, which can be described as outstanding military exploits.Therefore, he moved to discuss Kou Xiaowei, guerrilla general... He was known for his courage and heroism, and he was very fond of Cao Cao.

Transferring Lejin to Changshuiying also had the intention of controlling the five schools.

After all, among the five schools, Le Jin had the highest prestige, the most outstanding military exploits, and the most prestigious title.

Even Lu Qian, compared with Le Jin, not only lacks qualifications, but also far lacks in prestige and military exploits.

Therefore, after going through some twists and turns, Changshuiying's strength and status not only did not weaken, but because of Le Jin's arrival, it became the honor of the five schools.

In addition to the captain of the fifth school, there are also five school Sima, who also sit in the big tent.

Tun cavalry Sima Xu Yi, Yue Cavalry Sima Deng Fan, Shooting Sima Xia Houen (not only familiar with Cao Peng, but also Cao Peng had a life-saving grace for him), infantry Sima Dianman, and Changshui Sima Xia Houshang.Judging from the arrangement of the Sima of these five schools, Cao Cao gave Cao Peng extremely high attention and full trust.The Sima of the five schools all have the right to take charge of the army temporarily, and Cao Peng has the responsibility of supervising and supervising the army...

As soon as Cao Peng came in, Xu Yi and others greeted him one after another.

However, Cao Peng ignored them, instead he took a step forward and greeted Le Jin, Lu Qian and others first.

This approach also made Le Jin and others have a good impression of Cao Peng.It's all in Xudu, who wouldn't know that this Cao Peng is a celebrity in front of Cao Cao?Regardless of his young age, his credit and ability are not bad.He assisted his brother-in-law to pacify Haixi; he followed Xun Yan and went to Jiangdong; he defended Quyang and fought fiercely with Chen Gong's army;

The big Luoyang case was solved by Cao Peng.

Killing Zhong Ji showed Cao Peng's courage and bravery...

Now that he has become the son of Cao Cao, who can say clearly about the future?
Le Jin smiled and said, "Youxue is here, sit down quickly."

"Xie Guangchang Tinghou."

Cao Peng saluted here, then greeted Xu Yi and the others, and took their seats in the military tent.

"Youxue, do you know the current situation?" Le Jin asked suddenly.

Cao Peng said: "When I was talking with Du Tinghou today, I heard him mention it."

"What do you think, how is the situation?"

"Um……"

Cao Peng couldn't help hesitating, not knowing how to answer.

Le Jin smiled and said: "There are no outsiders here, I'm just asking casually, you don't have to be restrained."

Scratching his head, Cao Peng said, "I'm afraid the situation is not very good."

"Oh?"

"If it's just the white horse that's lost, it's not something to worry about, just get it back. But Puyang... Puyang is the seat of Yanzhou, so it has a lot to do with it.

If the lord can't take back Puyang as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will make the situation worse. "

Le Jin nodded lightly, "What Youxue said is roughly the same as what we discussed just now.

By the way, Boren...you continue the topic just now.You just said that Puyang, Baima, and Yanjin are like a tripod? "

Xia Houshang got up quickly and said, "That's right. Now that Yuan Shao has occupied Baima, Puyang and Yanjin, it can't help but guarantee Yuan Shao's army going south, and the three cities are connected, like the snake of Changshan, echoing each other. If you want to regain Puyang , it is bound to face the attacks of Baima and Yanjin Yuan Jun, but if Puyang is abandoned, one more day will cause more chaos in Yanzhou, so it is very troublesome."

Cao Peng knew that Xia Houshang was Xia Houzhen's real brother.

And in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it seems to have appeared... Was it the battle of Hanzhong?Anyway, it's not a glorious role, it's a trick.

But looking at Xia Houshang's words and demeanor, he is not that kind of useless person.

He is a little older than Cao Peng, has a quite calm demeanor, and speaks clearly and logically.

Because of Xia Houzhen's relationship, the relationship between Cao Peng and Xia Houshang is quite good.Listening to his analysis at this moment, I can't help but nod again and again.

That's right, the situation Cao Cao is now facing is quite embarrassing.

Capture Puyang?
It is bound to face the obstruction of Yuan Shao's army, and there will definitely be an extremely tragic fight at that time.

If Puyang is not attacked, the situation will be even worse, and there may be turmoil in the entire Yanzhou.Yuan Shao's move is really ingenious.

The problem is, in history, Yuan Shao really did not capture Puyang!

The only variable seems to fall on Liu Bei.

Now that I think about it carefully, it is precisely because of Liu Bei's appearance that Yuan Shao can calmly deploy in Baima.

Historically, Yan Liang attacked the white horse, but was later killed by Guan Yu, and Cao Cao recaptured the white horse.Yuan Shao had no time to attack Puyang...

But now, Liu Bei defected to Yuan Shao just like in history.

But this time, he took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to the road.In other words, Yan Liang was not killed by Guan Yu, which gave Yuan Shao plenty of time to make arrangements.But in the final analysis, the root cause of this situation seems to be Cao Peng.

If Cao Peng hadn't been fanning the flames, Guan Yu would have killed Yan Liang by now.

Gently rubbing his nose, Cao Peng couldn't help but secretly smiled bitterly.

He was reborn and joined Cao Cao's camp.

But in order to balance the game of Guandu, God made it more difficult.

The top priority is that if you want to help Cao Cao win, you must return the battle of Guandu to the original track of history.But the question is, how to restore it?

Cao Peng couldn't help frowning, lost in thought.

Suddenly, he felt someone pushing him beside him.

When he came back to his senses, he saw Deng Fan with a wry smile on his face, and raised his finger to Le Jin, "The Marquis of Guangchang Ting is asking you something."

"what?"

Cao Peng looked up, but saw Le Jin looking at him with a half-smile.

"Marquis of Guangchang Pavilion..."

"Hey, he's in the army now, with the title of Xiuti."

"General Le!" Cao Peng quickly changed his words.Seeing that Le Jin didn't object, he said shyly: "I was thinking about something just now, but I didn't hear the general's call."

"What are you thinking about?"

"This one……"

The eyes of Xi Xi and others focused on Cao Peng.

Cao Peng said, "I'm just thinking about how to kill the Changshan snake."

"Oh? The plan will be released?"

Cao Peng pardoned and replied: "But no... As Boren said just now, Yuan Shao is like a snake on the Changshan Mountain on the south bank of the river. If you hit the head, the tail will come. It is said that to deal with the Changshan snake, you can pinch its head, press its tail, and cut its abdomen. But it may not be easy to do it. Our army is currently at a disadvantage, and it is not the Lord's intention to fight Yuan Jun head-on Bar."

Le Jin and Lu Qian's eyes could not help but light up.

Pinching its head, pressing its tail, beheading its belly...

This description is indeed appropriate.But the problem is that if you do this, it is tantamount to attacking three places at the same time, and you will have a head-to-head fight with Yuan Shao.If the strength of the two sides is equal, then there is still a battle.But the problem is that the strength of the two sides is too great.

Yuan Shao's military strength is several times that of Cao Cao's current military strength.

It may not be an easy task to break the Changshan snake on the bank of the Yellow River.

However, Cao Peng's export of these nine words really made Le Jin and others look up to him.Including Xia Houshang, who also nodded slightly at the side.

"Yeah, it's really not easy to break the Changshan snake."

Cao Peng suddenly said: "General Le, in fact, you and I are talking nonsense here, it is hardly of any use, why don't you ask someone who understands?"

"Understanding people?"

"My lord's tent is full of counselors, there must be someone who can come up with a countermeasure.

In my opinion, Du Tinghou will definitely be able to figure it out.It's just that he doesn't like to show off, and he won't open his mouth unless he is forced to do so.When I was in Nanyang, I heard people say: Guzang Yijia has no plans... In fact, why not ask him for advice? "

Deng Fan secretly stabbed Cao Peng, which meant: Is there such a sentence?How did I not hear it being said?

Cao Peng turned his head and glared at him. Deng Fan immediately fell into meditation like an old monk, and did not respond again...

"That's right, Du Tinghou is extremely talented, so he must have a plan." Xi Xi said suddenly.

From his tone, it can be heard that he is not too convinced of Jia Xu.

"By the way, why hasn't Du Tinghou come yet?"

Wang Ze couldn't help but asked curiously: "Didn't Du Tinghou say that Shen Shi ordered soldiers? It's almost Shen Shi, why hasn't he come yet?"

"When I left the city just now, I saw him go to the Sikong Mansion."

Lu Qian replied aside.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a report from the small school outside the tent, "Marquis of Guangchang Ting, Sikong ordered you to go to Sikong Mansion immediately, there are military affairs discussions."

"I'll go right now."

Le Jin stood up with a dignified expression, "It seems that the lord has not made a proper plan yet.

I will go to see the lord first, and Zike will be in charge of the affairs here.When Duting comes back, please tell me... No matter whether the lord makes a decision or not, there will definitely be actions.The order is passed on, and the three armies rest in place, and act immediately as soon as they are ordered. "

"Here!"

Everyone got up one after another and stepped in to respond.

Le Jin left in a hurry, but Deng Fan couldn't help but said: "Ah Fu, why did you provoke Jia Xu again?"

"Where did I provoke him?"

Deng Fan smiled wryly and said, "Aren't you trying to force him with what you said just now? If he can't think of any countermeasures, the lord will definitely blame him.

You are under his command, and when the time comes, he will trouble you again. "

Deng Fan lived in Cao's mansion, but he knew exactly how Jia Xu tormented Cao Peng during this period of time.

Cao Peng chuckled, "Don't worry, I dare not tell others, but Jia Wenhe will definitely come up with a solution.

You don't know, that guy sucks toothpaste, if you don't squeeze him, he won't be able to spit it out.He must be forced, otherwise he will be uncomfortable. "

"toothpaste?"

"Uh... it's just a metaphor, you know."

Cao Peng suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, so he changed the topic in a few words.Fortunately, it was Deng Fan, who was already familiar with his way of speaking, so he didn't question him.I have been with Cao Peng for a long time, and I often hear him say some incompatible words.

Understand, just understand the meaning!
Cao Peng sneered in his heart: Jia Wenhe, you have today too?

--------------------------

Jia Xu came to the camp in the northern suburbs to gather troops.

Today in the Sikong mansion, the quarrel was very fierce.It is difficult for everyone to agree on how to deal with this round of Yuan Shao's attacks.However, there is one thing that is very unified, that is, we must try to take back Puyang in the shortest possible time...

The fifth school of the Northern Army, together with the Wuwei Army and the Huben Army, a total of 8000 people, will accompany Cao Cao on the expedition.

Xia Houyuan attacked from Chenliu and stationed troops in Suanzao; Yujin retreated [-] miles south to echo Zang Baxiang, so as not to be attacked, and at the same time temporarily stabilize the situation in Yanzhou.Xu Huang fled to Lihu and joined Li Dian.Li Dian led his army and horses and marched thirty miles north to form a persecution against Puyang.At the same time, Xiahou Dun was ordered to station at Hulao Pass, while Cao Ren ordered the Yulin Army to stay in Xudu to guard Gyeonggi.

Accompanied by Cao Cao, there are 3000 tiger and leopard riders...

After Jia Xu ordered the soldiers and horses, just sat down to take a breath, a small school came and said that Si Kong had something to do, please stand by and discuss.

Not long after I came out of Sikong Mansion, what did you recruit me for?
Jia Xu couldn't help being stunned, but she didn't dare to be negligent, she hurriedly tidied up her clothes, took Jia Xing, and hurried to Sikong Mansion.

"My lord, why did you call Xu to come here?"

When he came to Sikong Mansion, Jia Xu saw Cao Cao sitting upright in the yamen hall, accompanied by Guo Jia and Xun Yu.

Cao Cao smiled slightly, showing his white teeth.

"Wenhe, sit down quickly."

"Ah, thank you for your seat."

When he sat down, he found Guo Jia and Xun Yu with strange smiles on their faces.

In my heart, an ominous sign suddenly appeared, and I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"Wenhe..."

"I'm humble."

"Counting it all together, you may have been here for almost three months.

Huh, everything is okay? "

"Returning to the lord, I am proud of my lord's love and entrusted with a heavy responsibility, so I can't help but feel nervous, so I do my best to do things, and everything is pretty good."

"But you..." The smile on Cao Cao's face suddenly disappeared, and his voice was ferocious, "I treat you very kindly, why won't you help me?"

"what?"

"I have known for a long time that Wen and you have no plans to spare, and there are ghosts and valleys.

Now, it is the critical time of life and death, everyone is offering advice and suggestions, only Wenhe is leisurely and happy all day.Could it be that when Yuan Benchu ​​arrives, will you take my head and offer it up? "

These words are heartbreaking.

Jia Xu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a plop, "My lord, if you are so loved by my lord, how dare you have another heart?"

"Hmph, since that's the case, then you will come up with a strategy to defeat the enemy for me."

"what……"

"You can go back now. Tomorrow morning, if there is no good plan, I will take your head... Go down."

"Lord!"

"Not backing down yet."

Cao Cao yelled sharply, scaring Jia Xu into a cold sweat, and exited the yamen in desperation.

As soon as Jia Xu's front foot left, Cao Cao's face suddenly showed anxiety again.

"Feng Xiao, Wen Ruo, do this, okay?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly, "My lord, although Youxue is young, he is not a person who does not know the importance. Since he said so, it means that Jia Xu must be able to figure out a way. My lord, I still think about how to fight Yuan Shao head-on. ... Jia has a plan, and it may succeed."
