King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 376

"What are you talking about, boy?" A veteran walked up nearby and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

"Brother Zhang, the weather is not good. It seems to be raining?" the recruit asked doubtfully.

"Oh?" The old soldier called Brother Zhang stared at the sky, then his face changed suddenly, and he said in a low voice, "Don't think about it, I'm just here to guard!" After saying that, he turned and walked away.

The recruit looked suspiciously at the departing veteran, and looked at the sky strangely. After a long while, he saw some clues. This is not a rain cloud, it is clearly the place where Zhao Jun on the other side buried the pot The black smoke that was generated at the time... covered the sky and the sun...

The recruit's face was pale, and he felt a chill all over his body for no reason, leaning against the gate of the camp with his spear in his arms.He dare not look at the sky anymore, he is afraid...he is afraid that he will not be able to control the trembling of his heart, and he is even more afraid that he will become dinner in the mouth of the enemy army...

"Gu..." Swallowing his saliva, the recruit looked at the gate again, and saw more than a hundred heads hanging there, those who are afraid of the enemy and want to escape, behead!However, not far away, there were two people who had a panoramic view of the scene.

"Did you see it?" Li Dian looked at the sky with a sneer on his face, and said with a smile, "50, what a big battle!"

Li Dian looked at the black smoke in the distance and sighed inwardly. It is so shocking to bury a pot to make rice. Who would know about the smoke from the kitchen?
"This battle...is hard to fight!" Zhang Liao, who had always been joking, sighed and said.

He frowned, glanced at him, and said lightly, "Hmph, if my lord hears this, I'll punish you for 30 years. Let's go, wait for some rice, and I'll go out to inspect the camp later!"

"En!" Nodding his head, Zhang Liao raised his foot and was about to leave, but saw Cao Hong in military uniform from a distance.striding forward......

"I have seen General Cao!" With a salute, since the death of Cao Ren, Cao Hong's status has also improved, except for Xia Houyuan and Xiahou Dun brothers, but Cao Hong is still inferior to his elder brother Cao Ren... ...

Cao Hong looked at the two and nodded approvingly, then said with a smile, "Well, the two of you are secretly drinking?"

"Hey!" The two looked at Cao Hong with a smile, and said in a hey voice, "Nonsense!"

"Hehe..." We are usually good friends. Although Cao Hong's official position is higher, it is also common to talk and tease. During this war, it can be regarded as a way to adjust the mood...

Immediately, Cao Hong looked around and said in a low voice, "I'm here to test the morale of the soldiers in the battalion, how can I get it? Is it still the same as the previous few days?"

"Hey..." The two shook their heads and sighed, winked at Cao Hong and said, "Even if I saw it, I would feel a little panicked, let alone the rest of the soldiers?"

"Damn Liu He!" Cao Hong looked at the black smoke covering the sky and cursed bitterly, "You dare to use such tricks to damage the morale of our army, you really deserve to die!"

"What countermeasures does Master Guo have for this?" Zhang Liao asked hesitantly, clasping his fists.

Cao Hong shook his head, sighed and said, "The military commander said, this is Liu He's use of power to disrupt our army's morale. It is a conspiracy and it is difficult to crack. We can only deal with it carefully and restrain the soldiers with strict orders!"

"General Cao!" Looking around, Zhang Liao said with a frown, "But..... if things go on like this.....he looked at the hundreds of heads hanging at the gate..."

"You're not your unpredictable Guo Fengxiao, what's the use of your words to me?" Cao Hong shrugged.Spreading his hands, he said, "If you want to fight in front of the battle, there is no other way, but for this matter, I really have nothing to do!"

Seeing Cao Hong's embarrassing expression, he sniggered, and his eyes lit up while talking.Looking at the camp gate in the distance, he said, "General Le Jin is back!"

"Huh?" Cao Hong was slightly taken aback, turned around and glanced at the camp gate, and shouted with a smile, "Wen Qian! Here, here!"

"Heh" Le Jin in the distance handed over the reins to a Cao soldier, took off his helmet and walked towards the three of them, saying with a smile in his mouth. "It seems that you have nothing to do with your time!"

"It's not just idle time?" Cao Hong said unwillingly, "If this continues, the morale of the soldiers will plummet, how can they fight? It's a pity that the Lord doesn't allow me to leave the camp!"

"General Cao, don't be impatient." Le Jin responded with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Liu He is here with hundreds of thousands of troops. The soldiers are in full swing, and we are waiting..."

"That's right, don't use the words of the military advisor to deal with me!" Cao Hong frowned.He clasped his fists and said, "I have been here for more than ten days. Except that Liu He wanted to forcefully cross the Yellow River, and the military commander ordered us to shoot back with random arrows. What can we do? Liu He's 50 troops died a mere few Thousands of people, what is it worth to him? Let me tell you. If this goes on, let alone a month, even half a month, the morale of the army will drop, and Liu and the army will rush..."

"Cough!" Le Jin coughed, swallowed his saliva and said embarrassingly, "General Cao is serious, I think the military division must have a clever plan..."

"Have a clever plan?" Cao Hong curled his lips, shook his head and said, "I think he's out of ideas, and it's hard to do anything..."

"Ahem!" Le Jin tugged on Cao Hong's cloak calmly.

Cao Hong was surprised.I looked up.Seeing Le Jin kept winking at himself, his heart skipped a beat, and he turned around embarrassingly, but he saw Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xu Zhu, and Dian Wei looking at him coldly.

"Otherwise, what?" Cao Cao asked calmly, looking at Cao Hong.

When Le Jin saw it, he hurried forward and said, "That... my lord! General Cao just said what he said. There is no one in Liu He's account, and he only plays tricks. It's a waste of time!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Cao Hong nodded in agreement.

"Wait, I didn't hear you?" Cao Cao let out a low voice, and immediately dared not answer. Turning his head, Cao Cao said angrily to Cao Hong, "You have also led the army for many years. Now that the enemy is in front of you, you still want to disturb our army's morale. , what should I do?"

"My lord!" Guo Jia stepped forward with a smile, cupped his hands and said in a gentle voice, "This is up to me, General Cao is only concerned with our soldiers, if Cao Cao wants to blame, then I have no choice but to hand over my hand and apologize."

Glancing at Guo Jia, Cao Cao glared fiercely at Cao Hong, and shouted in a low voice. "Go to the supervising army to get sixty military sticks!"

"No!" Cao Hong secretly heaved a sigh of relief, glanced at Guo Jia gratefully and apologetically, and went away aggrieved...

Looking at the back of Cao Hong leaving, Cao Cao turned his head and glanced, and said in a deep voice, "Didn't I tell you to wait to go out to patrol the camp? Why are you still here?"

Li Dian and Zhang Liao were startled, and immediately clasped their fists together and said. "I... I'll go right away!" Saying that, the two of them ran away in a hurry.

"My lord is a bit too much." Guo Jia shook his head and persuaded, "I want my lord to be strict with military discipline, but it won't be like this..."

"No!" Cao Cao's eyes flashed sharply, and he shook his head and said, "Liu He's army is stronger than I expected. If the military order is not strictly enforced, how can we defeat the enemy and win the victory? However, if the military order is to be strictly enforced, the top and bottom must be consistent. There must be no selfishness!"

Guo Jia lowered his head and thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "My lord is wise!"

"Hum!" Cao Cao turned to Le Jin with a soft snort, "Wen Qian, I ordered you to monitor Liu He's every move, how about it?"

Le Jin straightened his face, clasped his fists and said in a low voice. "My lord, Liu He sent no less than [-] soldiers to cut down trees on the opposite bank. I don't know what's the plan!"

"What else is there to plan?" Guo Jia said with a smile, "Of course it is to build a pontoon bridge and forcefully cross the Yellow River!" After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands at Le Jin and said seriously, "General, please go out of the camp again and swim in the shallow water with the car." Take a look around to see if there are Zhao Jun soldiers and horses!"

"Downstream?" Le Jin was startled.He said urgently, "What does the military advisor mean, that Liu He ordered the soldiers to cut down trees in front of us, but secretly sent troops downstream?"

"Hehe, soldiers are deceitful!" Guo Jia smiled indifferently, looking to the east and said softly, "Ming repairs plank roads, secretly guarding Chencang, maybe the [-] soldiers sent by Liu He are just for show, there is no guarantee that he will not take the opportunity Smuggling from the shallow water downstream, it's better to be more cautious, thank you General!"

Le Jin glanced at Cao Cao and saw Cao Cao nodded.Then he said with a smile, "whatever the military division says, the last general will go here!" After that, he turned around and went.

Looking at Le Jinyuan's back, Guo Jia said with a smile, "I understand why Wen Ruo values ​​General Wen Qian so much..."

"Hehe..." Cao Cao chuckled.Immediately, his face darkened, and he frowned and said, "Is Wen Ruo's condition still uncontrollable?"

"Well, maybe it's because the climate is not acclimatizing. I was seriously ill and just recovered, so I'm about to go out with the Lord's army, eh..." Guo Jia said worriedly.

"Heaven will not help me!" Cao Cao clasped his fists and shook his head and said, "Liu He's coming, although I had predicted it earlier, but I didn't expect him to come with hundreds of thousands of troops. …………Eh…………"

"Hehe..." Guo Jia chuckled lightly, waved his hands and said, "My lord, don't worry. Although Liu He has many soldiers, he already has a plan..."

"Oh? Fengxiao is serious?" Cao Cao was startled and asked immediately.

"Haha! I may not be sure now, but as soon as Wen Qian comes back, I will know whether it is feasible or not?" Guo Jia laughed.

"Then why do you still use Wen Qian? Let's go! Follow me to visit Liu and Daying!" Cao Cao shouted immediately, and then ordered people to prepare horses...

"Alas..." Watching Cao Cao stride away, Guo Jia shook his head and sighed slightly...

"Military division?" Seeing Guo Jia in a daze.Dianban called out kindly.

"Huh? Oh. It's okay. I'll go with my lord to check on Liu He and Xu Shi!" Guo Jia said with a smile.

"No!" Dian Wei and Xu both clasped their fists and said.

Half an hour later, standing on a high slope on the south bank of the Yellow River, Cao Cao led Guo Jia, Xu Chu, Dian Wei and more than a dozen people, looking far away at Liu He's main camp on the opposite bank, looking at the camp of hundreds of thousands of troops , located in an orderly manner, under the lights, it is even more spectacular, and several people have different moods...
