Chapter 561: The first achievement of the fledgling family
So Cao Cao coaxed away Shan Fu, who was actually Xu Shu. Seeing the pain in Liu Bei's heart, Bai Lang suggested that someone might suggest: "Yuanzhi is a genius in the world. He has been in Xinye for a long time and knows all about the truth and falsehoods in our army. Today If he returns to Cao Cao, he will definitely be reused, but I will be in danger. My lord should keep him for a long time and never let him go. When Cao Cao sees that Yuan Zhi will not leave, he will kill his mother. When Yuan Zhi knows that his mother is dead, he will avenge her mother and attack Cao Cao vigorously. Yes." This person is Sun Qian. Of course Bailang also heard about it. The reason is simple... The second master and the third master are busy leading troops to defend one side, and Zilong is stationed outside. These days People invited Bai Lang to a drink just so that this idle man could serve as Liu Xuande's daily guard...
However, what Liu Bei said really made Bai Langgao look at him several times. He is indeed a benevolent and righteous man, and he is truly a man who strives for his ideals. "No. It is not benevolent to let someone kill his mother while I use his son; It is unjust to keep him and not let him go, to cut off the path of his offspring. I would rather die than do something unkind and unjust."
"This alone is a hundred times better than Cao Cao. It is indeed our great fortune to die for Xuande." Liu Bei interacts with others with his ideals, benevolence and righteousness, and those under him also come to this end for his ideals and ambitions. At the same time, Bai Lang said this.
On this day, everyone followed Liu Xuande to see off Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi. The farewell was quite touching. Guan and Zhang were both there, and since they arrived at Bailang, they naturally gave up the place of protection behind Xuande to them. He sat on the green pheasant horse and watched. Xuande also lost his composure. That was when he said bitterly that he wanted to cut down the woods that blocked his sight. At this time, Xu Yuanzhi came back again. This is the famous line Bailang heard: "This person is from Yangdu, Langya. His surname is Zhuge, his given name is Liang, and his courtesy name is Kongming..."
It's a long paragraph, in short, the Wolong that Kong Ming said is unparalleled in the world is indeed the unparalleled Wolong. Strictly speaking, Fengxiao is inferior to Wolong, at least that's how Bai Lang sees it. Liu Guanzhang went to visit the thatched cottage, and Bai Lang I'm not going. Is it comfortable to accompany Uncle Liu Huang standing outside someone's house? Just let his two sworn brothers do this kind of thing. Bai Lang is so happy that he is at ease. Now, Bai Lang is already a middle-aged man in his late forties. Although he is still the youngest in Liu Bei's group.
Guan and Zhang were both older than him. Even though Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong were said to be young generals in white robes, they were actually several years older than Bai Lang. They just looked tender-faced. If Zhuge Liang voted for Liu Bei, he would really be younger than Bai Lang.
It was quite peaceful at this time. Cao Cao's four states suffered from drought and floods this year, and the harvest was not good, making it difficult to use troops. Although Jingzhou had a good harvest, Liu Biao was just a guest at the forum and had no ambitions, so he did not send troops to conquer. , the Sun family in Jiangdong was busy conquering Shanyue. The Xinye where Liu Bei was located really enjoyed peace for a short period of time.
Liu Xuande visited the thatched cottage three times for half a year, and it was not until spring that he visited Zhuge Kongming. After some exchanges with Longzhong and Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel like a fish in water. He immediately hired Kongming as his military advisor. Bailang saw that Kongming was only eight feet tall. A little shorter than him, but he looked like an elegant man and couldn't fight at all. "Sure enough, it's Tang's face..." Bai Lang thought, Kong Ming's attitude was very good when he saw Bai Lang, and he even offered his hand as a courtesy .
Of course Bailang returned the favor. Liu Xuande and Zhuge Kongming were among the best in terms of personal moral character in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms. Even if they didn't respect Kong Ming's wisdom, they still had to respect Kong Ming's wisdom and devote themselves to death. His attitude was more unconvincing than that of Guan and Zhang.
His appearance is much better, and he is roughly the same as Zhao Yun. Kong Ming also values Bailang quite a lot. Bailang's bravery is famous all over the world, and now he is an unparalleled general in the world. Of course, he is an important piece of puzzle in Kong Ming's plan.
It's just that Bai Lang's talent in commanding the army made Kong Ming sigh a little, "The Duke's military prowess is unparalleled in the world, but his ability to run an army is a bit..." Bai Lang laughed loudly, "How can I compete with the Marquis of Huaiyin?
For example, a certain family is nothing more than a hundred generals." Bai Lang was now quite forgiving. Since the soldiers in his hands had surrendered to Liu Bei, he naturally took the initiative to ask Xuande to divide them among the generals one by one. He himself also
Just take the Bingzhou White Tiger Cavalry with less than a thousand.
The infantry led by Gao Shun and Gao Gan have now become the main infantry force in Liu Bei's hands, and are not allocated in large numbers to other generals.
Now that Kong Ming has become a military advisor, he naturally wants to go with Xuande to Liu Biao's office in Jingzhou to discuss Huang Zu's murder by Jiangdong Sun Quan. Kong Ming has taught Xuande well beforehand, but whenever Liu Biao tells Xuande to go, he makes an excuse to go back to Xinye to reorganize the army. Bailang
This time, instead of following for protection, Zhao Yun was asked to follow him - and the task of defending the city was left to Gao Shun.
Anyway, after Xuande and Kongming came back, Cao Cao also appointed Xiahou Dun as the governor, Yu Jin, Li Dian, Xia Houlan, and Han Hao as deputy generals. He led an army of 100,000 to Bowang City to get a glimpse of the new land. It was easy to make him clear, "You can order
Yuzhu led eight hundred horses to challenge, and Xiahou was defeated." When Bailang heard this, he thought in his heart, "It's better to burn the new wild trees..."
Kong Ming had already seen Bailang's level. With his unparalleled bravery and white tiger's evil spirit, commanding hundreds of cavalry was his upper limit and could best display his lethality. "Don't have too many, otherwise you will lose."
Kong Ming once told Xuande that Bailang led eight hundred white tiger cavalry directly north to face Xiahou's 100,000-strong army. He had been fighting with the northern armies for many years, and he showed no fear at all when he saw Cao's army coming overwhelmingly.
"Yuan Rang! Come out and fight with a certain person!" Bailang's roar spread in all directions, and the front line of Cao's army in front of him was in a panic. Bailang rode his horse directly to the spot where Cao's army was within a stone's throw, and galloped left and right at this distance to issue a challenge.
Because of Xia Houchun's violent character, he did not even go out to challenge Bailang. He allowed the tiger to repeatedly call for battle in front of his formation, and watched as the morale of Cao's army continued to decline.
After Bailang called for battle for a long time, General Cao did not respond. He immediately stopped shouting and turned around. After all the orders, they all dismounted and rested, eating, drinking and resting freely in front of hundreds of thousands of Cao's troops. After Bailang, there was actually Zhao Yun.
Thousands of troops and horses, and even Yun Changyide's two thousand troops and horses each went around quietly, and Guan Ping and five hundred people were ready with fire starters. After one night, all the troops were already in position and had a good sleep.
Sleep.
Throughout the night, Bai Lang didn't even wait for Xia Houchun to rob the camp, even though Bai Lang's scattered camp was not far from Cao Jun's formation. The next day, after having breakfast, Bai Lang exercised and felt that he would not have appendicitis, so he ordered the entire army to wear armor.
"Destroy Cao's army and have lunch!" Although the farmers had two meals a day, the soldiers had to have three meals a day. Bai Lang raised his long spear high, and the eight hundred riders formed a spear formation behind him, with Bai Lang as the tip.
Regardless of whether that coward Xia Houchun went out to fight or not, Bailang was going to set up camp directly.
