Chapter 1858: Stay true to your principles and be impartial
Living in troubled times, especially in places like Yanzhou and Yuzhou where there are smooth roads on all sides and easy access to and from, in fact, more or less, there is some insecurity in the heart. After all, Cao Cao's situation cannot be said to be very serious.
There have been many wars over the years, and they have to move abroad without much income. If these noble families have no objections and everyone is willing to do so, then it is obviously impossible.
Although on the surface, Cao Cao collects taxes on behalf of the Han Dynasty, no one likes their things to be taken away by others for nothing, and they have some complaints, which is normal. If Cao Cao can make these noble families have the ability to
If you feel the corresponding benefits after handing in these taxes, you can naturally continue to cooperate for a long time. But the problem is that Cao Cao is very strict about power and does not delegate power to people other than the Cao family and the Xiahou family.
, so naturally there are a lot of slanderous discussions in the countryside.
It is not that there are no such people who work hard on the land and pay the rent honestly. But after these people grow food, they are recruited into young men, and the food is taken away and used as military pay, how many more will there be?
Why should people continue to farm the land and pay rent honestly? If they can no longer survive, they can only take two forms. One is to become a refugee and flee to the so-called land of hope, and the other is to pick up a knife...
Although manors and forts with a little bit of self-preservation power can hold on to one-third of their own land, these grains and livestock, people and wealth are still like honey, attracting those who have no choice but to live in the surrounding areas.
It is the eyes of greedy people. The better the situation, the more eyes they will covet. After all, many people have a kind of "moral balance" mentality, just like some people in later generations of companies who have worked hard to do projects will be rewarded.
After paying a sum of hard-earned money, someone must come up and offer to treat you to dinner, otherwise it would be just like being stingy and unsociable.
The same is true for Xujiabao.
Only those who have been hungry will understand the pain of hunger, so they will take every piece of food seriously, especially those grown with hard work...
However, what if you didn’t plant it bit by bit with your own hard work?
When Cao Chun and Xia Houyuan arrived at Xujiabao, they didn't show any courtesy. They sent people directly to Xujiabao and asked them to send some grain, grass, cattle, wine, etc. to labor the army. As for what the people in Xujiabao thought, whether they were willing or not.
, these things are not within the scope of consideration by Cao Chun and Xia Houyuan.
Xu Jiabao also knew the rules, so he didn't say anything more and asked someone to send three carts of grain and grass.
Logically speaking, this matter was over. Cao Chun, Xia Houyuan and others rested for one night and then continued on their way the next day, but something happened unexpectedly.
Xia Houyuan felt that Xu Jiabao had underestimated him, or perhaps despised Cao Jun. He didn't even give him wine or even much meat! A few pieces of dark bacon of unknown age. Was this to send Xu a beggar?
The castle is so big, does it mean that it can’t even provide some decent beef and wine?
Xia Houyuan was very angry, and the consequences were serious.
In fact, does Xia Houyuan really lack this kind of food and wine?
Neither.
The main reason was that Xia Houyuan was depressed. On the one hand, he was defeated inexplicably and was punished by Cao Cao. He felt that he had been completely humiliated. In addition, Cao Chun didn't pay much attention to Xia Houyuan now, which made Xia Houyuan even more angry.
, being attracted by such a trivial matter in Xujiabao, he suddenly became angry.
Such a big Xujiabao, with so many fields around it, is there nothing decent? Xujiabao can farm well here, isn't it protected by Cao Jun? Now Cao Jun is here,
Not only did he not have a sense of gratitude and offer the best things, but he just took these rags and just wanted to fool around with them and get away with it?
Can you bear it?
Xia Houyuan said he couldn't bear it.
After slamming the table on the spot, he went to smash the door of Xujiabao.
When Cao Chun heard the news and rushed to Xia Houyuan's place, Xia Houyuan was already proudly taking the wine and meat he had brought and started eating and drinking...
Cao Chun (￢_￢) glanced at it and didn't take this matter too seriously. Although it was not good for Xia Houyuan to do this, he just did it. Is it possible that he wanted to force Xia Houyuan to give up the wine and meat in front of everyone?
Send him back? What Xia Houyuan did was indeed inappropriate, but Cao Chun did not have the authority to deal with Xia Houyuan directly. Even if he wanted to deal with it, he would have to wait for Cao Cao to come.
Cao Chun naturally regretted it afterwards, but at that time, Cao Chun did not take this matter seriously...
What?
Is alcohol allowed in the military?
hehe……
Have you never seen Zhuangxingjiu? If alcohol is really prohibited and a death squad is needed, how come several big jars and bowls of wine suddenly appear?
What's more, since Xia Houyuan can get wine and meat, it naturally means that there is no wine and meat in Xujiabao, but that it was not delivered before. Therefore, Cao Chun did not want to appease Xujiabao, but warned Xujiabao that drinking was not allowed.
After making a mistake and saying that he would leave on time the next day, he ignored Xia Houyuan.
Logically speaking, this is what happened, but what Cao Chun never expected was that after Xia Houyuan had eaten and drank enough, he took advantage of the wine and ran to Xujiabao. Not only did he enter with his guards carelessly,
In the fort, Xujiabao even asked Xujiabao to provide a warm bed for Meiji...
In the current time journey, Cao Cao has never experienced the sister-in-law incident, so he naturally has no understanding of how painful this behavior is. For Bai Di General Xia Houyuan, he also feels that this is not a big deal. After all, the nobles
It is still an elegant thing for aristocratic families to give beauties to each other, and it is normal for the family to give singers, dancers, etc. as a gift to entertain guests.
In Xia Houyuan's mind, he felt that Xu Jiabao was a bitch. He refused to send cow wine, and insisted on toasting and was fined with wine. In addition, when he asked for cow wine before, it went well, so he didn't think so.
What's the problem with doing this? Are you an honest person? If you don't rush to bully me, why don't you wait until you pass this village without this shop?
As a result, Xia Houyuan roared confidently, saying that he was fighting against the vicious hussar invasion for the safety of everyone in Xujiabao. Didn't Xujiabao have any expression? Could it be that he thought hussar was better and was dissatisfied with Cao Cao?
Governance, is it possible to attempt rebellion?
Xia Houyuan originally wanted to scare Xu Jiabao, just like many company bosses in later generations would yell at their subordinates if they wanted to do something, and if they didn't want to do something, just get out. This didn't necessarily mean firing them on the spot, sometimes it was just a threat.
But what Xia Houyuan didn't expect was that the boy in Xujiabao who looked stupid, stupid, short, fat, and stupid would immediately turn his face! And the key is that Xia Houyuan prides himself on martial arts, but he was no match for this short boy.
, after a few tricks, I actually succeeded!
If it weren't for the fact that Xujiabao itself is not a majestic city and does not have many defensive facilities, and Xia Houyuan's guards desperately blocked it, Xia Houyuan found a chance to escape from a slightly low dock.
Escaped from the fort wall...
Immediately, there was no rest in Xujiabao. The short man rushed out of Wubao with some good hands. Cao's army did not expect to be attacked at all. They were not prepared at all. Secondly, no one was there.
The short opponent, with his simple sword flying up and down, rushed directly into Cao Jun's camp, set fire to both sides and charged, causing the war horses to be frightened. I don't know whether it was because the fence was man-made or was damaged by the war horses in panic. Anyway,
Suddenly, the war horses ran away wildly, causing chaos in the camp!
At daybreak, although Xu Jiabao burned his own fort, completely smashed it, and escaped in the chaos, but for Cao Chun and Xia Houyuan, they also had to collect the scattered horses and personnel, gather them again, and delay
It took more than a day...
……(?｀∧′)(._.)……
Yangzhai.
Xia Houyuan lowered his head and remained silent.
After hearing Cao Chun's explanation, Xiahou Dun was immediately out of breath. He pointed at Xiahou Yuan with trembling fingers. He might have wanted to say something, but the problem was that Xiahou Dun had insisted on fighting in the rain before, and then he
After many huge emotional ups and downs, I just calmed down a bit after arriving in Yangzhai, and then I encountered something like this again...
In normal times, this matter would just be Xia Houyuan's business, and he would have to send troops to search for Xujiabao's personnel. But now that Xia Houdun thought of the previous Battle of Sanshiwan, several thoughts popped up in his mind involuntarily.
What if!
If Cao Chun and Xia Houyuan could be faster, without Xia Houyuan's bastard behavior on the way, he would naturally not have provoked Xujiabao's rebellion. He would also be able to reach Yangzhai faster, and maybe he could support Xiahou Dun in the process.
The battle at Sanshi Bay is equivalent to saying that I actually had a chance to win, and I also have the conditions to win!
But now...
"You...someone..." Under the strong stimulation, Xiahou Dun was a little dizzy, and now he was in unbearable pain. Even the figures of Cao Chun and Xia Houyuan in front of him were shaking. The world was spinning, and he couldn't say anything at the end.
Without saying anything, he just fell to the ground!
Cao Chun was shocked, and quickly stepped forward to help Xiahou Dun, only to find that Xiahou Dun's forehead was a little hot, but his hands and feet were cold. He was actually infected with wind-cold and was in a state of illness!
People who practice martial arts are middle-aged and generally do not get sick very much. Just like many middle-aged people in later generations, they seem to be very healthy and have no problems, but once they get sick, they often become disastrous.
Usually, hidden dangers accumulated in the body will even be implicated, and then the illness will disappear, and it will not get better in three or two days...
Among the three generals, except for the young and powerful Cao Chun, Xiahou Dun was ill and couldn't get up, Xia Houyuan was injured and couldn't fight, and Cao Chun really just wanted to shout at the sky: "It's so difficult..."
When Cao Chun had to accept the defense responsibility of Yangzhai and heard from Xiahou Dun's remnant soldiers that his old rival Zhao Yun was coming, he became uneasy. After urgently asking Xun Yu for instructions, on the one hand, Cao Chun was too young.
, and he has been commanding cavalry for a long time, and is not very proficient in infantry battle formations. On the other hand, Xiahou Dun is seriously ill, and the morale in Yangzhai is also low. The soldiers are indeed unable to be reused. If they are defeated again, the consequences will be disastrous, so they simply let Cao Chun
Xiahou Dun, who was seriously ill, and Xiahou Yuan, who was injured, took the initiative to retreat out of Yangdi and went to Xu County together to wait for the upcoming meeting with Cao Cao.
After all, Xiahou Dun was seriously ill and Xiahou Yuan was injured. This kind of thing could not be hidden from Yangdi's soldiers. With morale low, could Cao Chun alone turn the tide? And his opponent was Zhao Yun, who had already become famous among Cao's army!
Cao Chun took the initiative to retreat with his troops, but Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao couldn't believe it. They even agreed that it was a trap set by Cao Jun. Instead, they became more cautious and sent out scouts to investigate until Fei Qian arrived with his follow-up troops.
, after entering Yangzhai and searching carefully, I realized that I was a little too cautious...
After entering Yangzhai, Zhang Liao apologized to Fei Qian. After listening to Zhang Liao's story, Fei Qian was silent for a long time and then slowly said, "Does Wen Yuan know where he went wrong in this battle?"
Zhang Liao lowered his head and said: "I underestimated the enemy..."
Fei Qian nodded, shook his head again, and said: "This is one of them. In addition, it is the strategy used by Wen Yuan. I need it very urgently! Zhang Wenyuan! Let me ask you, is there any victory over Yinlong Chenliu, and you
He was eager to make a great contribution. Could it be that the clever strategy in the snow area was sold before, but now he has not added Du Heng? Since he sent his son to cross the river for the first time, why not use the suspected soldiers to pretend to return to the west, lure the Xiahou soldiers away from Sanshiwan, and then cross the river to attack them.
?In the past, Wei Wenzhang often used strange weapons in Sichuan and Sichuan, and he also lamented that he was afraid that in the future, he would use strange weapons easily, but he would eventually be defeated by using strange weapons! However, he never thought... Zhang Wenyuan, remember when he was in Luoyang in the past,
What's the name of teaching a certain marksmanship?"
Of course, Fei Qian was just an afterthought, so he would have been able to think of some good strategies while he was there, but this did not prevent Fei Qian from figuring out what Zhang Liao was thinking at the time...
"Zhongping..." Zhang Liao was ashamed.
"Zhongping Zhongzheng, use Zhongping Zhongzheng with your spear, and use Zhongzheng with your strategy, so that the enemy has no choice but to respond! Tune them to exhaust them, lure them to chaos, attack them to save them, and fight them to defend them. Don't be impatient, and you will be distracted.
It messed up his own position..." Fei Qian said slowly, "In this battle, we will record the merits and demerits for the time being. Wen Yuan first wrote down the military affairs before and after, leaving it to the martial arts hall for comment... Only when you have suffered a hardship can you gain a wisdom.
, If Wen Yuan can understand the meaning of Zhongzheng and combine Zhengqi with Zhengqi, then he will not live up to his humble beginnings..."
What Fei Qian wants Zhang Liao to remember is that he cannot place all his hopes on the so-called "Qi Wen". In this way, if the Qi Bing fails, it will lead to a series of adverse reactions, just like Zhang Chen will be able to do anything if he succeeds.
Okay, but Zhang Chen's failure also affected Zhang Liao himself, causing Zhang Liao to have a series of subsequent problems.
Zhang Liao bowed again and knocked on the ground loudly. It was only now that Fei Qian pointed out that Zhang Liao really realized that he had already had thoughts of comparing each other when he heard that Zhao Yun defeated Xia Houyuan in the middle road, and such thoughts were inadvertently
It influenced Zhang Liao's decision, and when facing Xiahou Dun, Zhang Liao also wanted to rely on his own strength to achieve the same military exploits as Zhao Yun! He was eager for success, hoping to achieve success in one battle, but he didn't expect that this would happen instead.
The psychology caused Zhang Liao to lose the high degree of vigilance he should have...
Fei Qian looked at Zhang Liao, then stepped forward to help him up with his own hands, patted his shoulder, and asked him to sit down again. Zhang Liao's injury actually reminded Fei Qian himself that the plan was going well these days, and Fei Qian even had an accident.
I had the illusion that I could defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop, and I also thought about whether to change my original plan...
Now, although Fei Qianqian reminds Zhang Liao, he is actually reminding himself that in terms of marksmanship, people must stick to the middle and seek righteousness. Only by not losing themselves can they reduce their mistakes.
However, now that Xu County is right in front of us, the previous overall plan has reached the final stage...
