"Yuan Rang, don't be angry. Since you want to fight, let's send troops to fight with Liu Bei."
Xiahou Dun was angry, but Cao Cao smiled slightly and spoke to comfort him.
"Lord, I do want to fight with the so-called Guan Zhang, but I must not let personal matters delay your plans. If it is as you said, this matter really needs to be considered."
Cao Cao's words made Xiahou Dun feel warm in his heart. For his angry words, Cao Cao would send troops northward, which made him feel extremely embarrassed.
"What I said is true. I will definitely send troops to go north, but not now. Wang Gong doesn't want to kill two soldiers with one peach. I will accompany him to have a good time."
Looking at Xiahou Dun, Cao Cao's smile did not diminish, he patted his shoulder and continued to stare at the map.
"Lord, how do you say this?"
If they don't go north now, then the Yellow Turbans will be defeated by Liu Bei. Although Wang Gong's one peach kill two soldiers will not be able to be used, they will also lose the opportunity to move into Dongjun.
"Yuan Rang, this time the Yellow Turbans have a large number of people, fifty or sixty thousand. Liu Bei only has more than ten thousand troops at most. No matter how brave Guan Zhang is, if he wants to defeat so many Yellow Turbans, his own casualties will not be too small.
,
When Liu Bei and the Yellow Turbans fought fiercely and the men and horses were exhausted, we moved with our cameras and repelled Liu Bei in one fell swoop. This Dongjun still belongs to my Cao Cao, Cao Mengde."
Cao Cao is the hero who can say that I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me.
His current plan is to take advantage of the battle between Liu Bei and the Yellow Turbans to send troops north to attack Liu Bei. After repelling Liu Bei, he will take advantage of the opportunity to defeat the Yellow Turbans, so that Wang Gong's Dongjun will not be able to escape from his grasp.
"My lord, this plan is very clever."
When Xiahou Dun heard Cao Cao's plan, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart. In troubled times, all faith and morality are bullshit. Only the benefits obtained are the most important.
"Well, imprison the envoy who asked for help in the army, and then the whole army went north, passed Changyuan and headed for Dongjun. Liu Bei figured out that the Yellow Turban must be near Puyang.
The terrain here is the most suitable for an ambush, so we must ambush not far from Puyang and be ready to attack at any time."
"promise."
Cao Cao gave the order, and the envoy who asked for reinforcements was imprisoned immediately, and then he led more than 5,000 soldiers and horses under his command and rushed north towards Dongjun with food, grass and baggage.
It is not easy to say that Cao Cao brought these five thousand soldiers and horses. He originally gathered thousands of soldiers and horses when he was fighting against Dong, but Xu Rong defeated them in a battle. He suffered heavy losses. When he left Luoyang, he only had two.
Thousands of horses.
After settling in Chenliu, Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun went to Danyang, Yangzhou to recruit 4,000 troops. However, they encountered a rebellion when they came back. If Cao Cao hadn't killed dozens of people with his sword, he might even have told him where he was, and finally led
Only more than a thousand people came back.
Together with the recruitment of troops from the local area and the support from the Li Dian family, this was enough for his current 5,000 elite troops. Therefore, this time Cao Cao went north with the idea of success or failure. If this time he
If he is defeated, he will really never be able to recover.
On the second day after Cao Cao raised his army, a fast horse galloped into Guantao City in Yangping County.
"My lord, Wang Gong, the governor of Dongjun, is reporting urgently."
Jian Yong quickly came to Liu Bei with the letter in hand.
Liu Bei took the letter from Jian Yong, tore it open, shook the paint and began to read Wang Gong's urgent letter.
"Xianhe, maybe you can guess what Wang Gong's letter is?"
After reading the letter, Liu Bei gently pressed the letter under his hand and looked at Jian Yong to ask him.
"My lord, you want to test me? Nayong, just take a bold guess."
Looking at Liu Bei, Jian Yong couldn't help but smile, then raised his arms and started to patrol the shuttle.
"Now that the Yellow Turbans are raging, Wei Jun and Dong Jun are all in danger. Li Cheng of Wei Jun is resisting step by step. Yuan Shu's reinforcements must also be sent out. There is no serious problem in the area.
Wang Gong of Dongjun is an ordinary man. He is retreating steadily in the face of the Yellow Turbans and is about to attack Puyang, so his letter this time must be to ask the lord to send troops to help him destroy the Yellow Turbans."
Jian Yong's words made Liu Bei smile slightly.
"Perhaps you can guess what the reward was given by Wang Gong?"
"It's nothing more than ordnance, food and fodder. My lord can take the opportunity to ask for more, so that we can recruit troops again to deal with future difficulties."
Jian Yong looked at Liu Bei, a hint of wisdom flashed in his eyes again.
"no."
Liu Bei still smiled, but shook his head.
"What is that? It can't be a beautiful girl with money, right?"
Seeing Liu Bei shaking his head, Jian Yong frowned.
"No."
Liu Bei still smiled and shook his head again.
"Please make it clear, my lord, that I can't guess that he can't give up Dongjun."
Not the food, grass and weapons, nor the money and beautiful women. All that was left was the land and the city. Wang Gong was a corrupt official and fought for power, so there was no way he could give away Dongjun.
"That's right, it's Dongjun."
After Liu Bei finished speaking, he handed Wang Gong's letter to Jian Yong.
Jian Yong quickly read Wang Gong's urgent report.
"Lord, I'm afraid there is some fraud involved."
Jian Yong's face froze when he saw it at the end, and his brows could not help but twist into the character "Sichuan".
"Why do you say that?"
Jian Yong's words made Liu Bei frown.
"My lord, although Wang Hu is a common man, he is very powerful. He sent Dongjun out so rashly. Mr. Yong feels there is something wrong."
Jian Yong spoke again.
"Xianhe, which one is more important, life or official position?"
Liu Bei looked at Jian Yong, who was frowning, and spoke to him with his brows straightened.
"Of course life is the most important thing."
How could Jian Yong not know such a simple truth?
"Now the Yellow Turbans are raging in Dongjun, and they are about to attack Puyang where he is in the blink of an eye. If you ask me to send troops now, his life can be saved. If he does not give up the land of Dongjun, when the Yellow Turbans besiege the city, whether he can save his life will still matter.
It’s unknown.”
Liu Bei also put his hands behind his back, his eyes full of wisdom.
"What my lord said is not unreasonable, but I am worrying too much."
Liu Bei's explanation is not unreasonable. Between life and land, no one should be the dead man who wants land rather than life.
"Well, since that's the case, we'll gather all our troops and troops and send troops to Dongjun soon."
"My lord is wise."
On the same day, Liu Bei gathered his troops and ordered Guan Yu to lead 3,000 elite troops as the vanguard. He and Zhang Fei led 7,000 elite troops as the central army, totaling 10,000 people. Jian Yong then led 2,000 elite troops to garrison Yangping and garrison Tao.
The two armies, Liu Bei in the Ming Dynasty and Cao Cao in the dark, assembled towards Puyang respectively, and the Yellow Turban army that captured the White Horse, Bai Rao and Hu Gu divided their troops and left. Bai Rao led 50,000 Yellow Turbans and went straight to Puyang, while Mu Gu led his own army of 10,000 troops.
He bypassed Puyang and ran towards Zhencheng.
"Commander, these Dongjun soldiers are too inexperienced."
A young handsome guy came up to Bai Rao and said to him with a smile.
"Sun Dali, what did you say? What do you mean, the soldiers of Dongjun are not beaten? It is clearly the commander's unparalleled power and the strength of his troops that make those soldiers look like they have nothing to lose."
