In the Yan army's central tent, Gao Fei and Wen Chou were chatting with each other, looking particularly cordial.
After all, during the two years when Gao Fei became king, Wen Chou, one of the five tiger generals of the Yan Kingdom, had been leading his troops to guard the north, and assisted Tian Feng in supervising the construction of the new city outside the Great Wall, and merged the area around Jiuyuan County with Wuyuan County.
All the places were designated as a new city outside the Great Wall and named Baotou. Baotou was used as an important military base leading to the Great Wall and a future heavy industry base.
The two people talked freely in the big tent, abandoning the relationship between monarch and minister. Wen Chou also told the joys, sorrows and joys of Tian Feng and the soldiers in building the new city, and also revealed the problems in the planning of the new city, which made everyone happy.
Gao Fei listened very carefully.
After listening to Wen Chou's words, Gao Fei raised a glass of poured water and said to Wen Chou: "Now is an extraordinary period. The entire army is prohibited from drinking. General Wen has worked hard to build Baotou in the past two years, which makes me really feel bad. Wen Chou."
The general's achievements are seen by everyone and will be remembered in the heart. When he returns to Jicheng in the future, he will receive a generous reward. General Wen, I am here to offer you a cup of tea instead of wine, General Wen."
Seeing this, Wen Chou hurriedly picked up the tea, stood up in a hurry, and said: "My lord, you can't do it. This subordinate is a defeated general. If it hadn't been for your lord to take care of me, I would have died long ago. How could I be today?" Not only did my lord not dislike him, he was already a defeated general.
Instead, I regard my subordinates as the Five Tiger Generals, above all other generals. I am already extremely grateful, how can I accept it anymore..."
"What did General Wen say? As a general under my command, there is no such thing as you and me. We are all grasshoppers on the same rope. We can't jump you, and we can't jump me... Uh... No, I used the wrong metaphor.
Well, it should be that we are all brothers who share weal and woe. There is no distinction between us and we should live and die together. General Wen, I will do it first out of respect!"
Before he finished speaking, Gao Fei drank all the tea, then held up the empty cup and smiled at Wen Chou.
As the saying goes, everyone will get drunk without wine, but now the tea in Wen Chou's hand seemed to be possessed, and he actually smelled a sweet aroma of wine, exuding an intoxicating fragrance, which made him not hesitate.
He drank it down hesitantly.
"Thank you for your love, my lord. I will definitely do my best to assist my lord in the future and make the world fair for you." Wen Chou said happily after drinking the tea in his hand.
Xun You, Guo Jia, Xu You, Sima Lang, and Chen Lin who were present saw it and all had a smile on their faces.
"General Wen, how are Tian Feng? I haven't seen him for a long time." After Gao Fei put down his tea cup, he motioned for Wen Chou to sit down and asked.
Wen Chou replied: "Military Tian is very good. No matter how big or small everything is, he has to do it himself, for fear that others will make mistakes. After receiving the transfer order from the lord this time, and before leaving, Military Advisor Tian also asked his subordinates to make sure they do what they want.
My lord, I have a message to tell you about things outside the Great Wall. You can rest assured, as long as your lord can safely explore the Central Plains."
"Tian Feng is reliable and upright. He is indeed a rare talent. It's a pity that he has to do everything by himself, which may cause physical damage. Kong Zhang, you can write a letter to Jia Xu and ask him to
Xu found a doctor with good medical skills in Jicheng, and then sent the doctor to Baotou to concentrate on treating Tian Feng and avoid any problems with Tian Feng's body." After hearing this, Gao Fei said.
After hearing this, Chen Lin made a "promise" and immediately wrote quickly. After a while, she wrote a letter and sent someone to deliver the letter to Jicheng by carrier pigeon.
"General Wen, I have suffered a lot from you outside the Great Wall these past two years. However, I would like to ask you that the Great Wall is different from the Central Plains. It is vast and has endless grasslands. It can be walked more than 300 miles northwest from Baotou.
There will be Xianbei people. Two years ago, the Xianbei people were defeated by our army in one fell swoop. Bu Dugen was captured and led the tribe to surrender. We have already
They were transformed into professional miners in various mining factories. However, there are still 7.8 million people in the western Xianbei who migrated westward, escaping to the Liangzhou area and living together with the Qiang and Hu. I am afraid that like the Qiang and Hu, they have already attached themselves to Ma Teng.
What I am most worried about is that if the Xianbei people and the Qiang and Hu people unite together, and if they come in force and kill each other, how will we defend ourselves?"
Wen Chou said: "My lord, please rest assured, but I can guarantee that within five years, there will be no border dangers in the north."
"How dare General Wen make such a guarantee?"
"Zhang Liao led his troops to garrison in Shuofang, often escaping far away from the fortress. The wolf cavalry under him were always composed of Huns, and their eliteness was evident. In addition, Zhang Liao had great influence in the hearts of the Xianbei people, so the Xianbei people
Don’t dare to cross the line easily.”
"Yeah, but this time I transferred Zhang Liao together. If the Xianbei people hear something, isn't it a crisis in the north?"
"My Lord, you can rest assured that General Zhang is both civil and military, young and promising. When he left Shuofang, he had already made arrangements. He left Shuofang alone without taking any soldiers with him. He also asked his subordinates to always set up his flag. Xianbei people
If you see it from a distance, you will automatically avoid it.”
Soon after Gao Fei became king, he transferred many generals to the north. On the one hand, he built fortress cities, on the other hand, he vigorously encouraged and developed animal husbandry, and on the third hand, he trained rangers, from grasslands to deserts, and from deserts to deserts.
When you get to Dongyi, the vast area is the training ground for cavalry.
In ancient wars, cavalry has always played a very important role. Its fast movement and rapid collision have made cavalry the most powerful type of arms in ancient wars. To become a powerful force in ancient times
A military empire must have a very powerful cavalry.
Of course, infantry is also indispensable. Field battles generally rely on cavalry, but in siege battles, infantry is generally used.
Therefore, Gao Fei has not expanded his army in the past two years. Instead, he has worked hard on the surrendered troops, his original troops, and the few Wuhuan people and Huns he recruited.
When a hundred.
"Zhang Liao is a general... No! He should be a handsome man. In the future, he will become the backbone of our Yan army. However, he is not sharp enough now and needs some experience. He is not like General Wen.
A veteran who has always been active on the battlefield."
"My lord, that's a compliment. Wen Chou is just an ordinary person. Compared with Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Tai Shi Ci, he is still far behind."
"That's not necessarily the case. However, you are not fighting over this. Your own people should be nicer to your own people. This time our army of 100,000 people crossing the river will inevitably attract criticism. For this reason, we must act cautiously and do it
Strictly confidential."
"promise!"
At this time, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Gan Ning, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Pang De, Wei Yan, Chen Dao and others all arrived one after another, filling the empty Chinese army tent.
When Gao Fei saw that all the civil and military officers had arrived, he said loudly: "Three days ago, I let the soldiers rest for three days, eating and drinking freely on the north bank of the Yellow River, just to let them have a good time, and then have a good time.
Let’s fight a war. From today on, the whole army will stop drinking. No one is allowed to drink anymore, including me.”
"promise!"
"In addition, everyone should take responsibility, lead their own subordinates, and obey the orders of their superiors."
"promise!"
"Well, now that the first enlarged meeting before the Central Plains War is officially held, all generals and lords, please express your opinions."
Everyone present answered in unison: "No!"
…………………………
Guandu, Cao Jun’s camp.
"Your Majesty, the general is incompetent. Instead of stopping the Yan army from crossing the river, he actually lost his army and generals. He almost..." Cao Xiu knelt in the Chinese army's tent, not daring to raise his head. He wanted to dig a crack in the ground and crawl in.
Cao Cao sat on the throne, glanced at Cao Xiu who was kneeling on the ground, looked around with an expressionless face, glanced sideways at Liu Ye who was standing aside, and asked: "How should Cao Xiu be convicted?"
"Plop!"
A muffled sound resounded in the big tent before Liu Ye could speak. A big man was seen kneeling on the ground, clasping his fists on the ground and saying: "Your Majesty, Cao Xiu is young, and what he said is true. It's really because of that man named
Wang Shuang’s wife
He was too brave, and it was the Qin army who came out to disrupt the situation first, giving the Yan army an opportunity. I am sure that the king will pardon Cao Xiu's crime, and temporarily remove him from the post of Captain Huya and demote him to an ordinary soldier, allowing him to take revenge later.
avenge……"
"Cao Chun! As the general of the entire Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, you did not deal with Cao Xiu in accordance with military law and openly interceded for him. You are also to blame for the emergence of such a person among your subordinates! Who dares to say more?
The king will kill anyone!" Cao Cao said angrily.
Cao Chun couldn't stand Cao Cao's roar. He lowered his head and did not dare to say anything more. He just kept saying: "I know the crime! Please punish me!"
"Your Majesty, Cao Xiu is not guilty. This is an unexpected situation. The sudden appearance of the Qin army has broken the original plan. What's more, Cao Xiu and others have been able to hold on for several days in such an environment. It is already amazing. Please, Your Majesty
Please forgive Cao Xiu's crime." Cao Ren immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Please, Your Majesty, forgive Cao Xiu's crime!" Upon seeing this, Cao Hong hurriedly knelt on the ground. After all, Cao Xiu was also his nephew. He couldn't die so young without even having an heir.
When Cao Cao saw this, he snorted coldly and said lukewarmly: "You guys are trying to disappoint me. Do you know how much effort I put into the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry? Do you know that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are the elite of this country?"
?Everyone who is picked into the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is a thousand
One person chooses one, or one person chooses one among ten thousand people. But when Cao Xiu fought with Wang Shuang, he brought 500 elite tiger and leopard cavalry to fight against the opponent's 500 cavalry, and was almost driven to death. Don't you feel it on your faces?
Is it shameful? Is the Qin army really as strong as Cao Xiu says?"
"Yes!" A deep voice suddenly came from outside the tent.
Cao Cao glanced outside the tent and saw Xu Shu, and asked, "Is the Qin army really strong?"
"Yes. Your Majesty, have you ever fought with the Qin army?" Xu Shu glanced at Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, and Cao Xiu who were kneeling on the ground. He immediately understood what was going on and asked.
