So Cao Cao yelled again:

"Old Cao, my chest was cut to pieces with thousands of swords, but there was not a single scratch on my back. Did Old Cao deceive you? Is Cao Cao a good man?"

At this time, without saying anything more, everyone embraced Cao Cao enthusiastically, and threw him up, and again, and again.

Cao Cao was up and down, laughing wildly as everyone shouted "Cai".

Finally, Cao Cao fainted. After he landed, he said to everyone:

"Does anyone still care who is Lao Cao's descendant? Does anyone still think that Lao Cao is not a warrior? Are there still people who don't want to be Lao Cao's brothers? Are there still people who don't want to fight on the battlefield with Lao Cao and wrap their bodies in horse leather?"

He pointed to the two jars of wine and said to the soldiers:

"Come on, if you think highly of Lao Cao, let's have a drink with Lao Cao. We'll all be drunk in the wine. From now on, we will live and die together and share joys and sorrows."

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, the Eighth Colonel, who had been sitting upright on his horse on the general stage, looked ugly.

They couldn't see that Cao Cao was winning people's hearts and forming brothers in the army. From now on, these generals will all be his brothers, so how will they, the generals, deal with themselves?

But neither Sun Jian nor Zhao Rong came out to stop it.

The former is confident that his subordinates are monolithic and cannot be splashed with water. The latter feels that Cao Cao still needs this to boost morale.

As for loyalty? Who believes it?

Do you believe it?

No matter what the eight captains on the stage were like, driven by such a warm atmosphere, all the military officers came up to scoop up drinks, then bowed to Cao Cao and shouted:

"To support the Han Dynasty and eradicate the Yellow Turbans, this is where justice lies. Even if you die, you will have no regrets."

Cao Cao also raised his arms and shouted:

"Be born as a Han scholar and die in the country, and die as a Han ghost protecting the Dragon Court."

The thousands of words spoken by all the military officials were condensed into one sentence:

"Be born as a Han scholar and die in the country, and die as a Han ghost protecting the Dragon Court."

Sun Jian on the stage also blushed, jumped up and shouted:

"Be born as a Han scholar and die in the country, and die as a Han ghost protecting the Dragon Court."

Finally, the eighth captain also stood up and shouted.

But Zhao Rong among them pointed at Cao Cao, who was jumping up and down in the crowd, and whispered to Chunyu Qiong with disdain:

"It's erect, doesn't it look like a dog?"

Unexpectedly, Chunyu Qiong refuted Zhao Rong seriously, and then spit out:

"No, he looks like a giant monkey."

After saying that, the two of them laughed as heartily as the soldiers below.

Yes, isn't this Cao Cao just a big horse monkey? He's five inches tall and jumps up and down with all his strength, but isn't the rope around his neck still tied to their hands?

Haha, okay, this big horse monkey is really good.

…

With his outstanding speeches and personal charm, Cao Cao inspired the three armies and also improved his prestige among the middle and lower-level military officials.

It was precisely with this prestige that Cao Cao was finally able to implement the planning and scheduling of this battle.

In this battle, Cao Cao did not plan to attack with his entire army as before, but decided to launch only a small-scale harassment war.

He first held a martial arts competition in the army, and used the military seizures and supplies as bounties. Cao Cao's purpose of doing this was to improve the morale of his soldiers on the one hand, and to select true warriors among them on the other hand.

The Han army's martial arts competition was held on the south bank of Qishui River, which was to show their high fighting spirit to the opposite side.

This competition lasted for three days, and Cao Cao also selected 300 warriors who topped each team and added them to his command.

These 300 people and the 300 brothers who had previously withdrawn from the north bank of Qishui River were all commanded by Xu Chu, who had recovered from his injuries. His troops were also called "Tiger Soldiers".

Cao Cao also specially invited Zhang Wen in the rear to bring military flags and golden drums to officially confer flags on this "Hu Shi Camp".

After that, Cao Cao disappeared with the Hu Shi Ying for a day, and then when everyone was suspicious, Cao Cao came back with the Hu Shi Ying.

Also brought back were two hundred heads.

It turned out that they lurked out of the camp in the middle of the night, hid across the Qishui River, passed the Taishan Army's Shuiying Luzhai, and went straight to a military station twenty miles away in the north.

This is Cao Cao's plan, to use a small force of elite troops to penetrate the Taishan Army's rear military station and destroy its supplies. Once he succeeds, he will return and then carry out the next attack.

In order to maximize the mobility of the Tiger Battalion, the entire army of 600 people was equipped with horses and mules to carry supplies. They carried six days of feed, military rations, and one day of water. Each man also carried three swords and hundreds of arrows. branch.

Then Cao Cao took the heavily armed Hu Shi camp and directly attacked the nearest military station of the Taishan Army at night. Because of the fatigue of the Han army these days, the Taishan Army became somewhat slack.

This military station has three granaries, each with hundreds of troops stationed.

Cao Cao's tiger camp arrived too quickly and was caught off guard. The farthest granary was burned down, and all the hundreds of people stationed in the granary were killed.

Cao Cao wanted to continue the night attack on the remaining two warehouses, but the Taishan Army's surprise cavalry cruising nearby saw the flames soaring into the sky and rushed to help.

In the end, Cao Cao could only kill some civilians and Taishan soldiers, wrap up their heads, and get rid of the crazy revenge of Taishan's cavalry, and finally returned to the camp on the second day of the day.

It was also through these two hundred heads that Cao Cao's prestige in the army reached its peak!

Everyone calls Cao Cao:
Chapter completed!
