The corner of Cao Ren's mouth twitched twice when he heard this. You tied up your brother and stuffed a peach into his mouth. No matter how he spoke or stopped you, this kid really deserves a beating.
"Where's my father?" Cao Zhang didn't take Cao Ren's expression seriously. He looked around and didn't see his father, Cao Cao, so he asked casually.
"Brother has gone on an expedition." Cao Ren said with a hint of worry. Kandahar was really difficult to fight.
"I want to go too!" Cao Zhang said excitedly.
"Bang." Cao Ren slapped Cao Zhang on the back. He wanted to knock Cao Zhang over and teach him that the battlefield is not a place for fooling around, but...
"Uncle, why are you beating me again?" Cao Zhang turned to look at Cao Ren. Cao Ren's strength was not as strong as that of Xu Chu. When Cao Zhang was in Chang'an, he learned martial arts from Xu Chu and was beaten by Xu Chu many times. Like Cao Ren,
One palm cannot knock Cao Zhang over.
To be precise, Cao Zhang didn't feel much pain even from the previous slap on the back of the head. The main reason was that when he was in Chang'an, he was tricked by Xu Chu into using northern barbarian wrestling techniques. Cao Zhang even had his whole body inlaid.
In the earth.
As time went by, Cao Zhang became particularly tough, especially since this guy Qian Bian spent a lot of time hanging out in the military camp, and now he is really very resistant to beatings.
Seeing Cao Zhang looking at him with a confused expression, Cao Ren couldn't help but look at his right hand. Wasn't his previous effort insufficient? Could it be that he has been too busy recently and neglected martial arts, and he can't even control his strength?
Thinking of this, Cao Ren patted Cao Zhang's shoulder again. This time, Cao Ren naturally increased the force. The moment Cao Zhang was patted, it was like instinct, and he naturally relieved his force, and then the fine sand on the floor around him
The dust and grass leaves bounced naturally.
"Uncle, you hit me again!" Cao Zhang said very unhappy. He obviously ran out of Chang'an very happily, ready to help his father conquer the world, but why did his uncle keep patting and slapping him when he saw him?
"Well, uncle may have been a little overworked recently." Cao Ren said with a depressed look. Cao Zhang did not respond at all, with a confused look, which made Cao Ren clearly realize how weak he was, and he should really go back and take a good rest.
"Well, uncle, let's go and rest first. Where is my brother?" Cao Zhang scratched his head and said, not thinking there was any problem.
"Over there, I'll pick up the others. Your elder brother will pick you up." Cao Ren looked back and saw that Cao Ang was already waving to them from a distance, so Cao Ren also waved to the other side, and then took Zhu Hao and others with him.
People leave first.
"I leave Ziwen to you!" When Cao Ren passed by Cao Ang, he patted Cao Ang's shoulder, and then with a crisp sound, Cao Ang's arm was dislocated on the spot.
"Huh?" Cao Ren was stunned, while Cao Ang's face was obviously distorted. He couldn't help but think about what he had done badly recently, which made his uncle unhappy?
"The body and bones are so weak!" Cao Ren looked at his palms, then looked at Cao Zhang who was running towards him, and then looked at his most valued nephew with disdain. How could his body and bones be so weak?
degree.
Cao Ang was speechless. Is he weak? After all, he has also practiced Qi to become a gang. A gentleman has studied the six arts well. Now his body has no problem at all in firing a six-stone bow. Is this called weak?
"Brother!" Cao Zhang excitedly rushed towards Cao Ang. He hadn't seen his brother for a long time. Cao Zhang, who was wearing triple armor, excitedly hugged Cao Ang. Cao Ang raised his other hand and smiled.
Go and hug Cao Zhang.
"Crack!" There was a crisp sound, and Cao Ang felt a tightness in his chest, and then everything went dark.
"I'm going, big brother, big brother!" Cao Zhang shouted loudly. Cao Zhang had no idea how much strength he used when hugging and wrestling Xu Chu.
By the time Cao Ang regained consciousness, Cao Zhang had already run out of the city of Herat. This lawless boy did not take Cao Ren and others seriously at all. He seized an opportunity and directly transferred his song from the military camp.
He also encouraged the baggage team to run out with him. What's the point of Herat City? I want to join the war.
When Cao Ang woke up and looked at the letter left by his brother, he felt chest tight. Where was his sweet and naughty brother back then? How did he become like this now?
"What?" Cao Ren was shocked, "You said Ziwen went to Kandahar with two thousand people?"
"Yes, general, the young master has a troop movement token in his hand, and not all the new shield guards have entered the city of Herat. If the young master moved troops, we only found out after he left the city."
The gatekeeper said with some panic.
"Where did he get his troop mobilization token?" Cao Ren said angrily. There was no way that such a thing as a military talisman would be handed over to someone like Cao Zhang. If someone steals a military talisman, no matter who he is, he will die!
"It's the military talisman of the Shield Guards themselves. They were seconded and haven't been delivered yet. The military talismans are still in the hands of the troops at all levels, and General Zhu has already entered the city. They can move around freely if they have the military talismans." The city gate order was a bit confusing.
He explained in a panic that Cao Ren wanted to curse at this moment.
This is actually a logical problem, because the shield guard was seconded, and the general military talisman must have been in Zhu Hao's hands when he arrived. And Zhu Hao entered the city of Herat and handed over to Cao Ren. After that, the military talisman belonged to Cao Ren.
The shield guards under his command were supposed to reorganize the army and then redistribute military orders at all levels.
However, there is actually a time difference here, that is, the time difference between receiving Zhu Hao's military talisman and replacing the new military order. This problem has never occurred before, so Cao Ren never thought about it, but after this happened, Cao Ren suddenly discovered this matter
There is no way to deal with it.
It should have been just a matter of following the old routine, changing the new military orders, and then executing them according to the new military orders. But now the new military orders have not been issued, and the old military symbols have not been recycled. If someone uses the old military symbols to recruit, will the soldiers listen? Of course.
Gotta listen!
This is the rule of the Han Dynasty. They only recognize seals, ribbons, talismans, and edicts, not people.
To put it bluntly, Cao Zhang just made such a time difference and took the person away in a flash of his mind. Cao Ren didn't even have a reason to find trouble, unless Cao Ren now took the recovered military talisman and military orders to chase Cao Zhang, and then stripped him.
Get rid of Cao Zhang's old military talismans and re-issue talisman edicts and military orders, otherwise it will be useless.
What makes Cao Zhang even more distressed is that even if he catches up, he can't actually solve the problem, because there is no way to hold the soldiers and generals accountable for acting in accordance with the military talisman edict. After all, the old military talisman was only handed over to Zhu Hao's level, and not to the middle and lower levels.
transfer.
Originally, this was supposed to be something that would only be done at the school tomorrow, but the current situation is that there is no tomorrow, and Cao Zhang took the people away directly.
"Hurry up and chase him back!" Cao Ren roared angrily.
"What happened?" Yan Xing walked in with a steel gun, looked at Cao Ren who looked annoyed and said, and when he walked past the city gate order, he made a vague gesture to the other party, and the city gate order quickly retreated.
Seeing this, Cao Ren also took a deep breath to calm down his mind.
"I was almost mad at Cao Ziwen. He actually led the shield guards to kill him." Cao Ren said with a hint of annoyance.
"Is it a problem for a son of man to help his father? This is filial piety." Yan Xing said with a smile, "Besides, I heard that there are not some capable centurions who followed Cao Ziwen? Little Tiger
It also needs to grow.”
"Well." Cao Ren was silent for a while after hearing this, then crossed his arms and looked at Yan Xing seriously, "Old Yan, what do you think?"
"Now that the reinforcements have arrived, we shouldn't stay here any longer. The cavalry is actually not suitable for defending the city. It doesn't make much sense for me and Pang Lingming to be here. With 60,000 shield guards here, even if Beigui goes all out,
It's hard to win, so why don't we go to Kandahar as well." Yan Xing looked at Cao Ren, without the slightest hint of joking on his face.
"Really, you want to go too?" Cao Ren turned to look out the window on the other side and asked.
"Uh..." Pang De smiled. He really wanted to go, but he couldn't speak as righteously as Yan Xing did.
"Sixty thousand shield guards are enough. If Kapil and his group can capture the city of Herat with 60,000 shield guards of all kinds, then there is no need for us or not." Yan Xing looked at Cao Ren and said.
"The reason is not enough." Cao Ren said very calmly. He also knew that now that the shield guards have arrived, both their military strength and strength have reached their peak, but this reason alone is not enough for Cao Ren to let them go, even if Cao Cao leaves.
Cao Ren was given the right to make decisions on the fly, but Cao Ren still had to put Cao Cao's arrangements before leaving as the top priority as possible.
"There are not enough troops in Kandahar, even if there are Hua Xiong, Lu Bu and others. We have no way of knowing whether Kushan has arranged hundreds of thousands of people in Kandahar or more than 200,000 people. It has penetrated deep into the north.
It's expensive, their troops can be replenished at any time, and Cao Sikong only has 70,000 men." Yan Xing looked at Cao Ren very seriously and said.
"Although I don't know what kind of power Cao Sikong has, it is clear that Beigui's terrain, coupled with the advantages of reinforcements and logistics, this battle will not be easy to fight." Yan Xing said unhappily, "I even
I wonder why those advisers wanted to fight this war."
"For Beigui." Chen Qun said with a smile. "The purpose of fighting is not only to attack Kandahar, but also to intimidate the ordinary elites of Beigui. Xun Gongda wanted more than a tragic victory from the beginning. If he really fought head-on,
, even if we can win and fight in, there will be no one left. Even Beigui can fight us to death. The significance of this battle lies in the next prisoners."
Xun You had been prepared to plunder the foundation of Beigui very early. Even if he won the hard fight, he had no capital to fight again. From the beginning, Xun You's idea was to dig up the foundation of Guishang, and this has never wavered since he came here.
