I don’t know how many nights he couldn’t sleep since he went to war.
It’s not that I don’t want to sleep, but that I can’t sleep.
After Guo Jia's death, basically no strategist could be as considerate as Guo Jia. At a certain moment, Cao Cao even wanted to release Yang Xiu, but Cao Cao soon rejected this absurd idea.
Even if Yang Xiu knew his ideas, he must have served the Yang family first, not Cao Cao.
These guys...
"Lord, we can win!" Cao Hong said with a decisive attitude, "This plan will be done! Fei's thieves will come! Then you can kill Fei's thieves on the horse!"
Cao Hong's advantages and disadvantages are equally prominent.
He is the most loyal.
Cao Cao patted Cao Hong on the shoulder, "It's just a pain for you..."
"I wish to die for the lord!" Cao Hong bowed and said, just like that in the past.
Cao Cao smiled, "I couldn't do anything back then... so I had to work hard. Now... to be honest, he... he really taught me a lot of things..."
Cao Hong looked at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao walked forward a few steps and lifted the curtain of the tent. The morning wind blew in, which made Cao Cao feel refreshed. "It's another day... are those people staring at it?"
Cao Hong also followed Cao Cao's footsteps and walked outside the tent, squintedly, and then snorted coldly, "These trashers climbing the wall really think that the lord doesn't know anything..."
A team of patrolling Cao soldiers passed by the road in the camp and saw Cao Cao's figure. Under the leadership of the captain, they greeted Cao Cao together.
Cao Cao nodded, waved his hand and responded, then smiled and said, "If the cavalry generals concentrated their troops here, then our battle will be truly victorious!"
"Are you still worried?" Cao Hong asked.
Cao Cao sighed, and then suddenly smiled, "This man is the cavalry... When he was appointed as his disciple of Cai Zhonglang, did you know what he gave to Cai Zhonglang? Haha... Well, so I think this man is probably not so easy to be fooled, but even if he can't shoot a horse, he will get a pig, which is worth it..."
When he spoke the last few words, Cao Cao's tone gradually changed from cheerful to cold.
The next moment, I could hear the sound of drums gradually rising on the battlefield in the distance.
"Well, it's time again." Cao Cao looked up and looked at the red sun rising in the sky. "Since the plan has been decided, then... everything is to act according to it... Zi Lian, please take care of it!"
"Don't worry, lord!" Cao Hong bowed and bowed.
Cao Cao helped Cao Hong up, held Cao Hong's arm and used force, then turned his head and entered the tent again.
Cao Hong stood outside the tent, holding a knife, like a door god.
After a while, a cough came out of the tent.
Cao Hong turned around and lifted the curtain of the tent.
I saw Cao Cao come out again.
At this moment, although Cao Cao still had a long beard and chest, a brocade robe and jade belt, his expression was a little restrained, and his eyes were a little afraid and dull.
Cao Hong frowned slightly and shouted in a low voice: "Relax!"
"Wei, Wei..." Cao Cao responded in a low voice.
Cao Hong browned, "You should say "OK"! Forget it, you'd better stop talking, cough when you want to..."
"Ah..." Cao Cao reacted, reached out and blocked his mouth, and coughed twice.
"Walk!"
Cao Hong took the lead, and Cao Cao then walked through the Central Army camp to the high platform in front of the formation.

What exactly is war?
If you ask Pei Ji, who is five or six years old, he will definitely answer that the war is just two gangs, holding bamboo swords and wooden swords, and then chopping each other up. The loser lay on the ground and pretending to be dead, and the winners are holding bamboo swords and wooden swords and celebrating around the yard.
If you ask Pei Ji, who is a teenager, the answer is different.
At the age of teenagers, they know a little but don’t fully understand it. The key is that when they are unwilling to admit that they don’t understand it, they will gather together and argue with each other endlessly, and denounce the world, and no one will accept each other. Even if they argue, they will not admit defeat. It is not enough to make trouble, but it is natural that they will agree to fight again in a few days.
When he was in his twenties, Pei Ji was familiar with history books and knew all kinds of war examples during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He even felt that he could make a plan for a random plan to shock the world and the ghosts and gods. He waved his hand and drowned the enemy. During this period of time, Pei Ji was even more moved by why the world was peaceful and there was no place for heroes to use their skills!
And now, how long has it been? Pei Ji's idea of war has completely changed.
If I ask Pei Ji again for the same question, Pei Ji will only remain silent.
Pei Mao is dead.
An old man was sick and injured on the battlefield, and he couldn't hold on to the city wall after he got off the city wall.
Logically speaking, birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm in the world, but when Pei Mao died, the Pei family became in chaos.
Because after the Cavalry Army arrived, Cao's army ignored Anyi County.
If the cavalry wins, then Anyi will naturally be safe. If the cavalry loses, then Anyi will not be able to be protected either.
According to this principle, should all the people in the city of Anyi expect the victory of the Cavalry and be full of gratitude for the arrival of the Cavalry?
The result is actually not.
Or, some people have, some people don’t, while others are silent.
"The Cavalry Army can obviously come early! How far is it to come from Linfen?!"
"The cavalry did it on purpose! If they were willing to delay, they wanted us to die!"
"Now my father is dead! I'm dead! If the cavalry could come a few days earlier, or even just one day earlier, would my father die?!"
Some people pointed their finger at Pei Ji.
『How did you protect the head of the family?』
"Why did the head of the family die, but you were unharmed?!"
"Will you fight a war? Do you understand war? If you don't work, just let the virtuous be!"
All these.
If the Cao army was attacking very tightly outside and the battle was fierce, these guys would hide in the house and shivering, but when Cao army seemed to be mainly focused on the cavalry and Anyi regained a brief breathing, these people emerged from every corner again.
Pei is a major surname in Hedong.
So many people have the surname Pei, especially in Anyi and Wenxi, and even the entire street is Pei. They are all related to each other. Among the group of people who accuse this or that, there are several who have more seniority than Pei Ji.
The incompetent people were barking, but the few who really had the right to decide were silent.
Pei Ji suddenly understood Pei Mao's helplessness back then, and now he is becoming more and more angry.
Among the Cavalry Relations, there are Sichuan, Shu, Longyou and Western Regions, and what is the place in Hedong?
Unfortunately, these people just can’t see through, they can’t see far, they can’t see clearly!
Although Pei Mao, Pei Ji and others could see through, far and clearly, they would still be dragged by other Pei families and had to stay here because they only had Anyi and Wenxi...
Then these barking boys also knew this.
It was like a child who threatened his parents and said, "Don't force me, if you force me again, you'll die!"
At first he really couldn't understand why the guy who is older than him is still so ignorant?
But when he figured it out, he became even more sad.
Because these people don't care about right or wrong at all.
They are just making an excuse.
Pei Ji sighed with emotion and burst into tears before Pei Mao's coffin.
...
...
Bao Zhong’s heart will be beating faster whenever he sees the Cao battle flag these days, but after this beating passes, he will feel more anger and uneasiness.
It was not his turn to fight today.
But he still felt very frightened.
There were soldiers from Cao's army around him, coming and going, but for some reason, Bao Zhong always felt that others seemed to be staring at him intentionally or unintentionally.
Bao Zhong thought about the arrangements before and after carefully and found that there were no omissions or major flaws, so he could only give up some of his heart.
Since no one came to him, it means that he was not discovered.
Since it has not been discovered, it is very likely that his confidant has found the cavalry...
What will the Cavalry think? What will he do? Will he agree with his request?
Bao Zhong was nervous.
His child, his Dalang, is in a very bad condition now.
The inflammation caused by skin scalds is inevitable in this weather and environment and develops very quickly.
So, Bao Zhong became more and more anxious.
What is loyalty?
From ancient times to the present, loyalty has been widely regarded as the cornerstone of morality and the core of interpersonal trust. Everyone claims to be loyal, especially under the strong promotion of Confucian culture in the Han Dynasty. Whether it is the ruling class or the ruling class, they are proud of loyalty and ashamed of betrayal.
But the problem is that among a bunch of loyal people, those who betray first often get the maximum short-term benefits...
Of course, when a group of people are betrayers, the loyal ones will receive the greatest respect and benefits.
Just like the country's supermarkets were not as good as a fat man in later generations. Shouldn't supermarkets be a place to make consumers feel at ease to buy goods? Fat man has always emphasized that the more famous he is, the less good it is for consumers.
Loyalty can generally be called a wholehearted and dedicated attitude and behavior. If so, Bao Zhong is naturally loyal, because he was loyal to the Han Dynasty before, later to Cao Cao, and now to Dalang.
So is he wrong?
He also found an excuse for himself.
Perfect, undeniable excuse.
The Bao family has already sacrificed enough for the Cao family.
Bao Zhong looked at him sideways. The figure under the big star on the platform seemed to merge with the sunlight behind him, which was a little dazzling, which made him lower his head quickly.
"We are going to fight again today! Oh! Ah... Isn't this General Bao?" A voice suddenly came from the side.
Bao Zhong quickly looked back and bowed, "Have you met General Dong!"
"What general is not a general... but a front pawn of the Cao family!" The visitor patted Bao Zhong's arm, "It's a little trouble now... The Cavalry Army was still holding some points a few days ago, and now attacking everywhere, it's simply... You said, what do you think we are now...?"
Bao Zhong's heart trembled, "General Dong, what do you mean?"
"What else can I mean? I just look at the moment... the chances of winning don't seem to be very big, but... well, I'm here again, what's the point of being here?"
Bao Zhong didn't know what to say, or didn't say anything, and finally said: "Don't worry about that much, anyway, it's no big deal that you just loyal and die!"
"Oh! I admire you, I admire you!" The person who came laughed and bowed again, "The front army is here, I'll go there first! If you can come back in a hurry, you'll find General Bao to drink!"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Bao Zhong smiled perfunctorily.
When the man left, Bao Zhong couldn't help but narrow his old eyes and glanced at the platform again.
That was the noble Prime Minister Cao, with a heroic figure.
Under the banner, there are loyal Zhong Leader and Zhong Guardian, the most elite Cao's personal soldiers. They have excellent armor and sharp swords and guns, and are the symbols and trump cards of Cao's strength.
However, everyone seems to understand that the chances of winning are not high...
So, why?
This time, can the Battle of Guandu be staged again?
Bao Zhong shivered for a moment.
But things have reached this point...
The key is Dalang.
Yes, if the doctors in Cao's army could make Dalang recover, then does he need to do such a thing?
Bao Zhong took a deep breath and straightened his back. He immediately felt that the eyes of others looking at him seemed to be normal.
...
...
Cao Hong, who was commanding on the front line, suddenly discovered a small flaw of a Hussar cavalry.
On the right wing of the Hussar Cavalry, there was a force that had been fighting for too long, and the overall formation was already in a tendency to be loose, but the Hussar Cavalry did not adjust in time and did not send troops to support it.
War is essentially a very strategic confrontation. The most important thing is how to keep yourself from having fewer flaws and then attack the enemy's flaws.
Both Cao Cao and Cao Hong were not afraid of confrontation or consumption, so Cao Hong was almost instinctive and immediately rushed to the front branch of the cavalry army that had its flaws.
No army can never be without flaws.
If you want to show less flaws, you need to have strict control over the army, including the stability of the formation, the maintenance of morale, the support of logistics, and the implementation of military discipline. There must be no major omissions in every link, because any small mistake may be used by the opponent on the battlefield, resulting in fatal consequences.
The most important thing about cavalry is of course speed, and speed depends on the physical strength of the war horse.
This part of the Hussar cavalry lost control in the confrontation with the Cao army, and it can even be said that they were a little proud and did not control their own side's physical strength, which led to the fact that they had to temporarily rest behind a soil plate to restore their physical strength.
If Cao Hong did not attack, there would be no big problem. After all, the entire battlefield was under the control of the Hussars and cavalry, and they could pass through this period of physical weakness. Moreover, the location chosen by this army was also resting on the back of the earthen plateau, but they forgot one thing, that is, the place where the rest was indeed in the sight of Cao's army, but Cao's army could see the passage in and out of this place!
The key is that Cao Hong has been around Anyi for a long time. Although he is not very familiar with the surrounding terrain, he is also very familiar with it. After watching a team of obviously tired cavalrymen disappearing into the earthen plateau, he did not come out of the other side after a long time...
So, Cao Hong discovered a very important fighter jet!
Without hesitation, Cao Hong ordered the Cao army academy on the other side to immediately fight to the battlefield. At the same time, he ran off the battlefield, turned over his horse, and led his personal soldiers to kill the right wing of the Hussar cavalry he had discovered.
Of course he knew that those ordinary county soldiers were really vulnerable.
But what does it matter?
If these guys don’t go to die, would they still keep them in the camp and have a good meal every day?
Cruel?
cruel.
But these problems are both one and two sides.
The positions of county soldiers and Cao Hong's are always opposite, just like the ruling class and the ruling class.
Even if the ruling class finds some bad things in the ruling class, making them forget or ignore their identities, make makeup for the ruling class, and get along with each other, it still cannot change the essence of contradiction.
Therefore, Cao Hong did not expect these county soldiers to defeat the Cavalry Army at all. He could only rely on himself to win!
Relying on the strength of the Cao family's core, the Central Leader and Central Guardians!
The others are actually supporting roles on this stage...
Of course, Cao Hong's attack also has great risks. After all, if he is not careful, he may be trapped by other Hussar cavalrymen.
The only one who can deal with cavalry is cavalry.
At least that's the case now.
When Cao Hong turned over the horse and lifted up the long spear, he also felt hesitant for a moment.
If...
But……
Cao Hong turned his head and looked at Gaotai, not at the figure, but at the big star that represented the highest authority of the Cao family.
His surname is Cao.
So for Cao Hong, there is no if.
There is no excuse either.
Going to the battlefield is to win. If you encounter any chance of victory, you must seize it immediately and try your best to win.
The battlefield is not a place to pray for life.
Want to survive by praying?
Then don't go to the battlefield!
Cao Hong called a guard and gave a few words.
The guard was still hesitant, but when he saw Cao Hong's unwavering eyes, he could only bow down.
"Cao family man! Come with me!" Cao Hong raised his horse spear and shouted loudly.
The long spear was raised and the horse's hooves ran fast.
Cao Hong was already focused on his mind and only had victory in his eyes.
Of course, Cao Hong could also send other generals to do this kind of thing, but he knew that only he would do it would boost the morale in the Cao army camp. Even if this victory might be insignificant, it could at least increase the morale of Cao army a little and wait for the arrival of the last battle!
At least let the cavalry army know that the Cao family's son is not cowardly!
Cao's army rushed out of the auxiliary army and put the pedals that had been prepared on the trench.
The next moment, Cao Hong and Cao's direct cavalry, who were leading the army, rushed out wildly!
『Kill!』
The shouts on the battlefield suddenly burst into great success...
