Dong Zhao, who is in the Zhongtiao Mountain camp, will receive the news a little later due to the distance.
But Dong Zhao had just received the news, and his expression became condensed. He hurriedly went up to the observation deck of Zhongtiao Mountain Camp and looked in the direction of Suoyang Pass.
In the dark night, nothing can be seen.
Humans have many organs, which are crudely made and functional, but definitely not top-notch. The human eye's vision is very limited. When it exceeds fifty meters, it loses its fineness. Even if it can be seen, it cannot be seen clearly.
Even if you climb high and look far, you are still subject to many restrictions.
Although Dong Zhao knew that Cao Hong was threatened at Suoyang Pass and that a war was raging to kill Yingye, he still couldn't see anything.
The unknown is mysterious.
Facing the mystery, some people are afraid, some are curious, some bravely face the difficulty, and some people will just sit back and wait for others to face the difficulty.
Dong Zhao knew in his heart that Cao Hong was in danger...
The ambush is not really to kill many hussars, nor is it to kill the hussars. It is just to hinder the speed of the hussars' rescue of Suoyang Pass and provide more time to set up traps.
Suoyang Pass is like a calamity on the chessboard.
When the two sides put aside this robbery for the time being, the Suoyang Pass will hardly affect the overall situation. But once one party takes action, they will continue to strangle each other around the Suoyang Pass until the final party cannot escape.
Come up with more means, either to eliminate the disaster, or to move elsewhere.
Lu Chang also came quickly and stood on the high platform with Dong Zhao.
"Military advisor, something is wrong?"
Lu Chang asked.
Even though Lu Changming knew something must have happened, he still had to ask.
After all, there is a process to follow.
After Cao Cao and Cao Hong left the camp, Lu Chang and Dong Zhao acted as checks and balances on each other.
Dong Zhao is the brain and Lu Chang is the limbs.
Without the command of the brain, the limbs cannot move randomly. Without the assistance of the limbs, the brain alone is useless.
In this way, Cao Cao and Cao Hong will leave with peace of mind.
So even though Lu Chang knew what was going on, he still had to pretend to be "brainless" when asking Dong Zhao.
Dong Zhao glanced at Lu Chang, "There was an ambush on the flank at Suoyang Pass and was defeated by the hussars!"
"How is it possible..." Lu Chang was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly said, "Then what are the military advisor's orders?"
It is a common practice in Shandong to do things and leave traces.
Because no one trusts anyone, no one knows who can be trusted, and no one knows when they will be thrown out and take the blame.
So Lu Chang asked this, which was leaving a mark.
Dong Zhao must have an order before he would do it. Even if Lu Chang knew that he must send troops to support Cao Hong, he still had to ask this question, and then there would be a formal document before he could send troops. Don't say that there will be troops outside.
Why, that was in the early days of the Han Dynasty, and those who shouted these words probably didn't end well.
Dong Zhao held on to the railing, sighed slightly, turned around and walked down, "Let's beat the drum and gather the generals!"
At this time, beating drums to gather generals will inevitably make the camp restless, but what can be done?
If you go to the general in private, even if the result is good, but it does not comply with the procedures, it will become a reason for others to impeach you in the future!
Even if this thing is done for the public good and for the sake of the overall situation, after all, no one can ruin the process, right?
The generals of the military academy came in chaos.
Seeing this, Dong Zhao was in a confused mood.
"What? General Cao is in danger?"
"If I had known, I would have stopped General Cao from this adventure!"
"How can the Hussars come and go so freely when it's so dark?"
"If there is a problem on the flank, will there be a problem elsewhere?"
"..."
Dong Zhao frowned and listened to the discussions among the generals.
These generals and officers were all subordinates of Cao Cao, not Dong Zhao.
So to a certain extent, they were taking orders from Cao Cao, not Dong Zhao, even if Dong Zhao was authorized.
The so-called authorization is temporary. If it is obtained temporarily, it will naturally be lost temporarily.
These generals will not openly oppose or violate, but no one is willing to stand up easily and take any responsibility.
Voluntary is not a good word in Shandong.
Dong Zhao raised his head and looked at the torches inside the tent.
The torch was swaying unsteadily, even though it was made of grease-rich pine wood, it was still swaying and swaying in the autumn wind, as if it might go out at any moment.
Dong Zhao recalled that when they entered Guanzhong, they didn't pay so much attention to the process.
Perhaps when the Han Dynasty was first built, there were not so many rules.
It seems that many things now have procedures and rules, but...
In fact, Dong Zhao didn't understand.
This kind of thing has been true at all times and at home and abroad. Even the smallest company has a relatively high degree of freedom in the early stages of entrepreneurship and development. The boundaries between bosses and employees are not so clear, and each other is at the mercy of others.
They drink wine and call each other brothers, but when they really succeed, the gap will appear, and there will be rules. You must call a certain boss, a certain boss, a certain O, and then the brothers are no longer brothers, and they can only talk about it.
Just said it above.
And when the company starts to go downhill, various assessments, indicators, and performance will be like a noose tightened around everyone's neck, and they will still collude with each other. If you want to take a breather, you have to find a way.
Tighten the noose of others...
It just so happens that other people think so too.
A certain CEO, a certain CEO, and a certain O from above thought that this would maximize performance, maximize exploration, and allow employees to develop their maximum potential, but in fact they did not notice that there was an extra noose around their necks.
The same goes for big men.
Cao Cao was not at the Zhongtiao Mountain camp, so Cao Hong insisted on leading the attack in person.
Dong Zhao can naturally understand this.
After all, there are signs of instability in Cao Jun's camp, and even in the entire Shandong area. So if Cao Hong hands over the elite soldiers at hand to a certain general, who can guarantee that this general will not go halfway?
Suddenly "lost"?
Therefore, Cao Hong could only attack with his elite troops.
But now Cao Hong's flank is missing...
After a while, General Cao Jun finally calmed down and looked at Dong Zhao and Lu Chang.
Lu Chang could say nothing, but Dong Zhao could not.
Dong Zhao knew that the morale of Cao's army was unstable and the soldiers were in panic, so they needed someone to comfort them. Now that Cao Hong was in danger, he needed someone to explain the situation with a reason, no matter whether this explanation was correct or not.
"The Hussars are in danger."
Dong Zhao said slowly, "The original collapse of Anyi was faster than we expected... So the Hussars did have the advantage before. Since they had the advantage, why bother to take the risk and enter Suoyang Pass? These were probably the Hussars."
What went wrong..."
Lu Chang stood aside and nodded. Although he felt that this theory did not make sense, he could only explain it this way.
The military academies also nodded when they saw Lu Chang, so whether they believed it or not, they all agreed.
Seeing this, Dong Zhao waved and asked the guard to bring out something.
All the military schools turned to take a closer look, but it was a roll of copper wire.
In this era, copper wire was a rarity.
Because drawing is very troublesome.
Not only does it consume a lot of labor, but it may not necessarily produce stable output.
Many military academies of the Cao army did not know what the copper wire was used for.
Dong Zhao pointed to the copper wire, "This is a powerful weapon to restrain the hussars..."
"Is this a sharp weapon?" Lu Chang asked in confusion.
"If this thing is set up between two trees..." Dong Zhao gestured, "When the cavalry gallops past..."
Dong Zhao briefly stated that many of the military academies present had attended battle formations, so with a little imagination, you could understand how this thing was used.
Dong Zhao smiled slightly and said: "Not to mention at night, even in the day, no cavalry may notice this thing! If it is arranged properly, no matter how many cavalry, it can be easily killed! And our soldiers,
But he can come and go freely! Isn't this kind of thing a sharp weapon for riding, so what is it?"
In the darkness, such traps are simply life-threatening ghosts for the cavalry and are difficult to detect.
All the military academies were excited, but no one took the initiative to fight. Well, in Shandong, this should be called "voluntary" fighting.
It's like a leader telling a joke. No matter whether it's funny or not, only by laughing together can you appear to be a harmonious group under the leadership of the leadership team.
Dong Zhao looked at these military academies with a vague uneasiness in his heart.
Dong Zhao was somewhat aware of the strategies implemented by Cao Cao. Although he did not agree with them, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others would obviously have a greater say than Dong Zhao.
Of course, the most important problem was that Dong Zhao could not come up with a better solution.
Shandong is in ruins.
From top to bottom, inside to outside.
Just like when you see a cockroach in the house, there is not just one cockroach, but the cockroaches in the darkness can no longer live in the dark place and have begun to invade the light place.
At first, Dong Zhao thought it was the eunuch's problem, so when he was young, he followed everyone in scolding the eunuch. But in fact, everyone knew that scolding the eunuch was almost equivalent to scolding the emperor. Eunuchs are attached to the emperor, so they have
Authority, so it actually represents the abuse of imperial power.
But now?
The ten permanent servants have long been turned into withered bones, and the new generation of eunuchs in Xu County are as weak as the current emperor. So it is simply nonsense to talk about the eunuch problem.
So now it’s Cao Cao’s problem?
If Dong Zhao hadn't been under Cao Cao's command, he might have thought and scolded him like this.
But now he couldn't curse, because he had indeed seen how hard Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others were working to maintain the authority of the Han Dynasty and the operation of the imperial court.
And all this also made Dong Zhao deeply afraid.
What is a big man?
What is a country?
The trophies sent by the Hussar General from the Western Regions and the national treaty of Shanshan were like an invisible warning.
Anyone who understands will naturally understand.
He who pretends to sleep still pretends to sleep.
Dong Zhao looked at these military academies and seemed to see the same symptoms as the big men in these military academies. Then he suddenly felt exhausted mentally and physically. He didn't say anything more and just named them by name, "General, it is the important task of rescuing General Cao.
I entrust it to you!』
Lu Chang couldn't move, and neither could Dong Zhao.
There is no problem with the remaining military academies responding to the joke, but they must be asked to lead troops to fight against the hussars...
Let them continue to tell jokes and listen to jokes.
After the military academies retreated, Dong Zhaocai and Lu Chang said: "According to the prior agreement, the general is preparing to march to the front camp of the Hussars..."
It's all the way.
The other way is to "surround Wei and rescue Zhao".
Lu Chang straightened his face and responded with his hands.
…
…
Just when Dong Zhao arranged to recruit Cao Hong, and when Xu Chu led his troops to Suoyang Pass, preparing to attack Xu Chu's camp in turn, Xu Chu had already led his troops, bypassed Cao Jun's defense line, and rushed to Suoyang Pass.
nearby.
The flames that closed Cynomorium Cynomorium illuminated half of the mountain in blood-red color.
Cao Jun was obviously very nervous. When they saw the hussars, they immediately sounded the warning gong.
Suddenly, there was a clanging sound.
The Hussars cavalry were very relaxed. They did not know that their own camp would be counterattacked by Cao's army.
While they were arranging their equipment, they looked at the figures of Cao's soldiers swaying in the firelight in the distance.
"Prepare for battle!"
The military academies at the grassroots level shouted.
"You can eat some dry food!"
"Don't drink too much water!"
"Si Sui, check again yourself, don't let your nails fall off halfway!"
"If you want to poop, hold it back! If you want to pee, do it immediately! Don't leave the line!"
This is one of the advantages of the Hussars.
They have more generous and complete logistical support, so they don't need to dismount and find a place to live and cook before going to war.
This may also be the point at which the Hussars were transformed into barbarians.
Or it could be called "fusion".
In the early days, the Han people also felt strange about the Hu people, as if these Hu people did not need to eat or stop the army to make food, but in fact the Hu people also cooked.
It’s just that a lot of their rice is made from powder.
After frying, grinding, smashing, or grinding it into powder, when you need to eat it, take a wooden bowl or bone bowl, then pour some powder, add water, mare's milk and other liquids, and stir it directly with your fingers.
Put it together and swallow it together with the aroma of earth and the breath of nature.
Therefore, when the barbarians were fighting, they could cook for a long time without making fire.
This kind of military convenience was naturally used by Fei Qian. Perhaps in Shandong, some people would say that they have lost their tradition. Without the ancestral system of Chinese eating, can we still call it eating? But now it seems
, the soldiers of Cao's army were envious when they saw that the hussars were eating and drinking in a leisurely manner!
No one is a steel machine. Just add a little lubricant and it will work until the bearings are worn.
Don't be afraid of poverty, be afraid of comparison.
If you are huddled in Shandong, nestled in Cao Ying, never come out for the rest of your life, you will not be able to see the outside world, so you will have no food, no water, and poverty, but you will still be "happy"...
But now, many soldiers of Cao's army are "unhappy".
They originally thought that because they were hard-working and kind-hearted, and they endured hardships, they should not suffer the worst treatment, the lowest income, the meanest life, and the most miserable fate. However, they were surprised to find that those who were originally in Shandong were
The government officials loudly promoted that the Hussars, who were in dire straits, not only had better soldiers and armor than they did, but also could eat and drink far better than them, something in their hearts collapsed.
It's a late autumn dawn.
The severe winter has not yet completely arrived, but Cao's soldiers have already felt the cold breath.
After a busy night, Cao Jun's soldiers had exhausted all the food they had eaten yesterday. Their hungry stomachs made a deafening thunder, which seemed to be louder than the hoofbeats of the hussars. They were also human beings, and they would also be hungry.
, they want to eat when they are hungry, but the pressure of the Hussars on the battlefield makes them breathless. Where is the opportunity to cook food leisurely and enjoy a hot bowl of soup in late autumn?
Hungry people will instinctively swallow when they see others eating or drinking, and they will feel even hungrier!
When Xu Chu saw this, he ordered the soldiers to rest for a while and let the horses take a breather.
The hussars soldiers became more relaxed, and some even took out some milk pimples from their bags and distributed them to the surrounding comrades. It was so delicious to eat and drink, as if they were here for an outing instead of fighting.
This made Cao's soldiers even more unbearable...
"How about we eat something quickly?"
Suddenly there were some scattered sounds among the ranks of Cao Jun's soldiers.
"That's it! That's it! Even if you go into battle, you still have to stutter!"
"The wind is so cold and my stomach is so empty that I can't even pick up a knife or a gun!"
"I'm so pitiful for you, this noble man! We can't continue like this!"
"Look at others, look at us! We don't want to be like them, as long as we stutter!"
"That's right, any black steamed pancake would be good!"
The ordinary soldiers of Cao's army were chattering, obviously greatly affected.
If Cao's army is also a cavalry, then the two sides spread out and the other party can eat and drink, and you can also eat and drink, but Cao's army is an infantry!
If the infantry does not form a formation, it is just a pile of scattered sand, useless!
And the most critical point is that the Cao army's infantry array cannot retreat or change places. Otherwise, wouldn't the traps dug and the defense systems laid out before be in vain?
Therefore, although the soldiers of Cao's army complained endlessly, the non-commissioned officers of Cao's army turned a deaf ear to it. At most, when they were annoyed, they scolded these big-headed soldiers for thinking about eating all day long. They were all fucking waste, or something better.
It's just drawing a big pie, just painting it on the ground, saying that after the drawing is finished, everyone will have such a big pie to eat...
When Cao Hong came down from Boshan in a hurry, he saw such a scene. He choked in his chest and was unable to speak for a long time.
what to do?
Distributing cakes on site?
Let’s not talk about whether we have done it well or not. Even if we have done it, if we continue to distribute it like this, the queue will definitely disperse!
When the hussars rush forward, will they eat the cakes first or grab their swords and guns first?
But in the final analysis, there was still insufficient preparation.
"What are you doing under the mountain?" Cao Hong shouted angrily, "Don't you know how to find a place to light a fire first and make some preparations in advance?"
But the military academy at the foot of the mountain was also very aggrieved.
How dare Cao Hong make the decision without giving any instructions in advance?
"General... I can't help it. The military stipulates that you have two meals a day. Isn't it time yet... If you want to cook, there is no such rule. You have to go through the process first..."
