"Okay, Miaocai, don't you know what kind of person Meng De is? He must have thought very clearly about doing this. It just so happens that I don't like that guy. Huh! We are begging for thieves for the country, but here he is.
A rat at one end and a rat at the other end, if you don't die when you are old, you are a thief!"
"I also know that this is a bit unethical, but for the sake of the country and the country, I can only do this. Hey..."
"Don't worry, Meng De, Miaocai and I will definitely let that old immortal guy know what he should do."
"Where's the genius?"
"Don't worry, Meng De. Although it's not a good idea to do this, I won't just watch our soldiers being wasted needlessly. That guy should pay a price."
"Okay! Everything is entrusted to you. I, Zi Xiao, Zi Lian and many other soldiers' lives are entrusted to you!"
Looking at the departing figures of the Xiahou brothers, Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a sharp look, showing the anger of the owner of his eyes.
Of course, this anger was not directed at Xia Houyuan, who had just made some offensive remarks. After all, he was a follower who had been following him since he was a child. Cao Cao knew Xia Houyuan quite well, and he also knew that this guy who was close to him was also a bit arrogant in his behavior.
, but compared to his naturally dull cousin Xiahou Dun, he usually prefers to use his brain.
The target of Cao Cao's resentment was none other than Tao Qian, the head coach of Tao Qian's army who was still ineffective on the battlefield. Although Cao Cao swore that he had no intention of skinning him, removing his bones and making Qiang stew, but that
It's just because Cao Cao recognized
I thought that the extremely old meat on Tao Qian's body would definitely not taste good. After all, the soup made from the old scalper's meat still had some fragrance, but that meat - anyway, it was definitely a nightmare for the young Cao Cao. Every time
My teeth feel cramped just thinking about it.
Okay, putting aside the old beef hell that makes people feel stomachache, Cao Cao turned his attention back to the battlefield.
"The situation is still not optimistic..."
Although he had read a lot of military books and had many unique insights of his own, Cao Cao also knew what it means to know what is easier to do than to do it. The things in the original text were just a few words, and it was only when he truly accepted them that he realized the complexity - whether he
When he first led the troops to conquer the Yellow Turbans or when he was organizing the Xiyuan Army, he was completely blind from the beginning like he is now.
"But I will not admit defeat. This is the stage that I, Cao Mengde, have been waiting for for a long time."
Yes, Cao Cao would never give up. Whether it was martial arts or martial arts, he had overcome every difficulty.
"If so, what would Li Xue do if he were here?"
Cao Cao muttered to himself, his thoughts couldn't help but wander a little.
Although Li Shushi knew his own level, in the eyes of outsiders, he was now regarded as a famous general of Han Dynasty. Although it was not that no one criticized him, thinking that such a guy who often misses the target with his archery and is not very good at riding is really unlucky.
big man
Ordinary soldiers in the frontier army were not as good, let alone famous generals, so "Mingjiang" was more suitable. However, because he had many military exploits, the subsequent criticism was more due to the nobles' contempt for the warriors and the suppression of Li Shushi, a young man from a poor family.
The means used.
Naturally, Cao Cao would not look at Li Shushi with any colored glasses. In terms of his origin, Li Shushi had a clean family background. He might be better off than Cao Cao, who was an ugly eunuch. Of course, from an economic point of view, Cao Cao was much better than Li Shushi.
There are too many, so when he wants to start a career, he will get more support, and he won't have to worry about it as much as Li Shushi did at the beginning.
Moreover, Cao Cao also had many contacts with Li Shushi when he was in Luoyang, and he had some understanding of Li Shushi's level - maybe Li Shushi was a complete idiot in the classics and history, but in terms of knowledge, he had been educated in the era of information explosion and was in this era.
Li Shushi, who has lived and fought for such a long time, also has considerable experience and standards.
After all, being around ordinary geniuses has enlightened him a little bit, although his intellectual potential is still four times that of 9.
Therefore, it cannot be said that Cao Cao, who is not good at charging into battle, brought Li Shushi into this battle without any reference value.
However, Cao Cao soon felt a sense of despair, because he suddenly thought that Li Shushi had powerful generals like Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu. Guys like Cao Ren, who in Cao Cao's eyes were strong enough, were not ranked among the top five by Li Shushi.
.
What is envy, jealousy and hatred? Cao Cao felt like he was bursting with tears now.
Until this time, Cao Cao realized the importance of talents for the first time - whether it was quality or quantity, whether they were civil servants or generals. In terms of talents, Cao Cao understood that he still fell far behind, especially with Li Shushi, a "modern man".
Compared with "charge".
Of course, the issue of talent is a long-term consideration, but Cao Cao will continue to solve the immediate problem.
With no choice, Cao Cao could only place his hopes on Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan, a pair of brothers who were reckless but could always surprise him, and Cao Ren, who although not the most powerful in Cao's army, was recognized as the number one general within Cao's army.
Of course, Cao Cao felt extremely uncomfortable feeling so helpless and having to place his hopes on others.
However, there is someone who feels even more uncomfortable than him now. This person is the ruler of Xuzhou - Tao Qian.
"What did you just say? Tell me again!"
Although Mr. Tao Qian had a hot temper when he was young, after the disaster of the party and the experience of ruling Xuzhou, he now looks more like an ordinary and kind elder most of the time. If he holds another one in his hand,
If he wears the village elder's scepter and puts on ordinary clothes, people who meet him at first glance may think he is a prestigious elder from some village.
But such an old man who looks very kind on the surface is now like an angry wolf with his hair and beard standing on end, and the messenger in front of him has a face full of fear. He is very afraid that he will appear next moment.
It was nothing unexpected, after all, he still had a wife who had been married for no more than three years and a baby who was less than one year old and waiting to be fed at home in Donghai County.
"Reporting to the Governor, soldiers under the banner of Xiahou of Cao's army just attacked our rear army and killed thirty-seven soldiers, five dubos, three hundred generals, and one camp commander. In addition, the military lord Lu He was also suspected of being Xiahou Dun.
The people were beheaded."
Although he was filled with worry and fear in his heart, his words did not fluctuate much, because as a subordinate who had been following Tao Qian for a long time, he knew very well what kind of performance would gain Tao Qian's favor, rather than making it obvious now.
Tao Qian, already furious, chose to kill someone to vent his anger.
"This damned eunuch dares to attack our troops in Xuzhou. Isn't he afraid that we will fight back and help Dong Zhuo destroy this group of rabble who think they are great? Humph, if you weren't too cautious, sir, those
There is no way a child could run up and pick at your head, Yuan Benchu, Yuan Gongli really thinks he is a person! Bah!"
The speaker was Cao Hong, Tao Qian's favorite minister. Although he had the same surname as Cao Cao, this civil servant from Xuzhou's famous and powerful Donghai Cao family seemed to be quite contemptuous of the Cao family of Pei who became powerful because of eunuchs.
Very rude.
However, Cao Hong's words did not seem to have the effect he expected. Instead, they calmed down Tao Qian who was angry.
Although he was extremely dissatisfied with the actions of the Xiahou brothers who were Cao Cao's subordinates, and if it hadn't been for the ups and downs over the years that had made him more disciplined and less impulsive, he had already ordered people to lead troops to strangle the opponent. Anyway, he was in front of him
The pressure on the battlefield is almost non-existent. Even if there is a civil strife, Li Jue will only focus more on Cao Cao, Bao Xin and others instead of wasting it on him, unless he thinks he can defeat them by himself.
The entire coalition right wing.
But precisely because with the growth of experience and knowledge, Tao Qian is no longer the passionate young man he was before. Cao Hong's words obviously reminded him why Cao Cao dared to send the Xiahou brothers to attack behind him and put the main target on his own troops.
Among the grassroots officers, only thirty-seven soldiers died in battle, but ten middle- and low-level officers died. You must know that in some new armies, Dub, who can command fifty people, is already qualified to obtain the Tiger Talisman alone, and
Those with more than 100 generals must possess the Tiger Talisman.
Of course, Tao Qian didn't know that such consequences were mainly due to the Xiahou brothers, especially Xiahou Dun. He simply said: Cao Cao is very depressed - Tao Qian is the reason for Cao Cao's depression - give Tao Qian a hard blow
——Thinking into action
After that, he took the lead in launching a surprise attack regardless of the soldiers behind him. However, Xiahou Dun had no interest in small soldiers, and because of his status as a general, naturally more low-level officers of Tao Qian's army died under him and Xiahou Yuan, who protected him from being attacked.
.
But it was this "accident" that made Tao Qian hesitate.
As an old guy who has entered the ranks of politicians, Tao Qian has completely inherited the characteristics of gerontocracy - calm and sophisticated, knowing how to choose to be forbearing when necessary and delivering a fatal blow at the critical moment, but at the same time he is also very suspicious, because
They are always accustomed to thinking everything through and calculating every detail of what will happen in the future to ensure that their goals can be finally achieved - even if they encounter many seemingly "unexpected" troubles in the process.
Because of this, Cao Cao's somewhat reckless move made Tao Qian wonder if there was another meaning behind it.
for example……
Tao Qian turned his attention to a few restless general-looking people not far away from him, and frowned tightly.
