293 Forcing Jia Xu to Offer Strategies (3/3) For a Monthly Pass
Chapter 293: Force Jia Xu to come up with a plan (3/3) Please vote for me
Xudu, camp in the northern suburbs.
This place was originally an empty wasteland with overgrown weeds.
However, since the first year of Jian'an, when Cao Cao welcomed the Han Emperor and moved the capital to Xu County, the wasteland became the gathering place for the five schools of the Northern Army.
In normal times, each of the five schools of the Northern Army has its own camps, stationed in all directions of Xudu.
In the main camp of the Northern Army, only one school of soldiers and horses was stationed, and over there was the cavalry camp.
After all, it is not comparable to Luoyang, an ancient imperial capital that lasted for nearly a thousand years. No matter in terms of urban layout or area, Xudu cannot be compared with Luoyang.
Taking this northern suburbs camp as an example, it is more than enough for one school to be stationed, and there is still a lot of space.
But if the five schools were stationed in the northern suburbs camp, it would obviously not be able to accommodate the troops of the five schools. But if it was in Luoyang, one northern suburbs camp would be more than enough to station the five schools. This was also the case when the Northern Army was in Luoyang.
The camp is called the Northern Army Camp; in Xudu, it can only be called the Northern Suburbs Camp. This is just the gathering place for the five schools. If you want to station the troops and horses of the five schools, the area must be expanded at least several times.
Cao Peng, as a lieutenant in the Northern Army, was not part of the five schools and formed his own system.
So after arriving at the northern suburbs camp, he went straight to the Chinese army's tent. At this time, many people had already arrived in the Chinese army's tent...
Lu Qian, the captain of the Tun Cavalry School, was a native of Rencheng, Yanzhou.
As early as when Cao Caidong County raised troops, he followed Cao Cao and became the captain of Xiangben and the prefect of Taishan. He quelled the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army many times. After Lu Bu was killed in the third year of Jian'an, Zang Ba succeeded Lu Qian and served as the prefect of Taishan.
, and Lu Qian was subsequently transferred to Xudu and served as the captain of the Tun Cavalry School. This man was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also had excellent shooting skills. What was rare was that Lu Qian was also good at running an army and was proficient in the art of war, making him one of the most capable in the army.
A general who controls one side. If he reaches the local area, he has talents in internal affairs. Taishan County was under the rule of Lu Qian, and the effect was remarkable.
Xi Lu, the captain of the Yue Cavalry School, serves as a servant and leads the troops.
He was not proficient in martial arts and did not understand the art of war. However, the Yueqi camp was quite effective under his rule.
Shi Huan, the commander of Shesheng School, was a native of Peiguo, Yuzhou.
He was a knight-errant when he was young. After Cao Cao launched his army, he joined as a guest soldier and served as a military captain.
During the expedition, he was appointed as the permanent supervisor of the army to monitor the generals. In the fourth year of Jian'an, Shi Huan and Zhang Liao were appointed as the captain of Shesheng after Shegu killed Sui Gu.
Wang Ze, the infantry captain, was from Taiyuan, Bingzhou.
In addition to the four school captains, the former Changshui school captain Zhong Ji was killed due to rebellion. In view of the fact that the five schools of the Northern Army are stationed in Xudu and have heavy responsibilities, they must arrange close friends as generals, so they can rest assured. So Cao*
After thinking for a long time, ** ordered Hou Le of Guangchang Ting to take office.
This Le Jin was also the first person to follow Cao ***.
As early as when the twenty-two princes attacked Dong Zhuo, Le Jin was an official under Cao Cao.
Later, he was promoted to the captain of the enemy. He must be the first to ascend in every battle, and he is extremely brave. From the third year of Chuping to today, he has experienced more than a hundred battles in the past ten years, and his military exploits can be said to be outstanding. Therefore, he moved to attack the bandit captain, guerrilla general...
Known for his bravery and heroic spirit, he was very popular with Cao Cao.
Transferring Lejin to Changshuiying also has the intention of controlling the five schools.
After all, among the five schools, Yue Jin has the highest reputation, the most outstanding military exploits, and the most honorable title.
Even Lu Qian, compared with Le Jin, not only lacks qualifications, but also has far less reputation and military exploits.
Therefore, after many twists and turns, Changshuiying's strength and status not only did not weaken, but instead became the leader of the five schools due to the arrival of Le Jin.
In addition to the captains of the five schools, there are also Sima of the five schools who also sit in the big tent.
Xu Yi, the garrison commander, Deng Fan, the Yue cavalry commander, Xia Houen, the archery commander (who was not only familiar with Cao Peng, but also saved his life by Cao Peng), Dianman, the infantry commander, and Xiahou Shang, the Changshui commander. From these five
Judging from the arrangements of the school Sima, Cao Peng gave great importance and full trust to Cao Peng. The Sima of the five schools all have the power to temporarily command the army, and Cao Peng has the responsibility of supervising the army...
As soon as Cao Peng came in, Xu Yi and others greeted him one after another.
However, Cao Peng ignored them and instead took a step forward to greet Yue Jin, Lu Qian and others first.
This approach also made Le Jin and others have a good impression of Cao Peng. They were all in Xudu, how could anyone not know that Cao Peng was a popular figure in front of Mr. Cao? Even though he was young, he was so
His merits and abilities are not bad. He assisted his brother-in-law and pacified Haixi; he followed Xun Yan and sent an envoy to Jiangdong; he defended Quyang and fought fiercely with Chen Gong's army; he became a disciple of Hu Zhao, and he was considered a famous disciple.
The big case in Luoyang was solved by Cao Peng.
Killing Zhongji further shows Cao Peng's courage and bravery...
Now that he has become a descendant of Mr. Cao, who can tell his future clearly?
Le Jin smiled and said: "Youxue is here, sit down quickly."
"Thank you, Marquis Guangchang Ting."
Cao Peng saluted here, then greeted Xu Yi and others, and sat down in the military tent.
"Youxue, do you know the current situation?" Le Jin suddenly said.
Cao Peng said: "When I was talking to Du Tinghou today, I heard him mention it."
"What do you think the situation is like?"
"Um……"
Cao Peng couldn't help but hesitate, not knowing how to answer.
Le Jin smiled and said, "There are no outsiders here. I'm just asking casually. You don't have to be restrained."
Cao Peng scratched his head and said, "I'm afraid the situation is not good."
"oh?"
"If the white horse is lost, it's not a big deal. It's just a matter of getting it back. But Puyang... Puyang is the seat of Yanzhou, so it's of great concern.
If my lord cannot recapture Puyang as soon as possible, I am afraid the situation will become even worse."
Le Jin nodded lightly, "What Youxue said is roughly the same as what we discussed just now.
By the way, Boren... you continue the topic just now. Did you just say that Puyang, Baima and Yanjin are like a tripod? "
Xia Houshang stood up quickly and said: "Yes, now Yuan Shao has occupied Baima, Puyang and Yanjin, which can not help but guarantee Yuan Shao's army going south, and the three cities are connected like snakes on Changshan, echoing each other. If we want to recapture Puyang
, we will inevitably face attacks from Baima and Yanjin’s Yuan army, but if we abandon Puyang and ignore it, one more day will cause more chaos in Yanzhou, so it will be very troublesome.”
Cao Peng knew that Xiahou Shang was Xiahou Zhen's brother.
And it seems to have appeared in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms... in the Battle of Hanzhong? Anyway, it was not a glorious role, it was just a minor role.
But looking at Xia Houshang's words and behavior, he is not the kind of useless person.
He is slightly older than Cao Peng, has a very calm demeanor, and speaks clearly and clearly.
Because of Xia Houzhen's relationship, Cao Peng and Xia Houshang had a pretty good relationship. Listening to his analysis at this moment, I couldn't help but nod my head.
Yes, the situation *** Cao is facing now is quite embarrassing.
Capture Puyang?
They will have to face Yuan Shao's army to stop them, and there will definitely be an extremely brutal fight.
If Puyang is not attacked, the situation will be even worse, and the entire Yanzhou may be in turmoil. Yuan Shao's move is really clever.
The problem is, in history, Yuan Shao really didn’t capture Puyang!
The only variable seems to fall on Liu Bei.
Now that I think about it, it is precisely because of Liu Bei's appearance that Yuan Shao can calmly deploy in Baima.
Historically, Yan Liang attacked Baima and was later killed by Guan Yu. Cao Cao recaptured Baima. Yuan Shao had no time to attack Puyang...
And now, Liu Bei defected to Yuan Shao as happened in history.
But this time, he took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to the road. In other words, Yan Liang was not killed by Guan Yu, which gave Yuan Shao enough time to make plans. But in the final analysis, the root cause of this situation seems to lie in
On Cao Peng.
If Cao Peng hadn't been there to fan the flames, Guan Yu would have killed Yan Liang by now.
Gently touching ***'s nose, Cao Peng couldn't help but smile to himself.
He was reborn and joined Cao ***'s camp.
But in order to balance the game of Guandu, God has increased the difficulty.
The top priority is that if you want to help Cao Cao win, you must put the Battle of Guandu back on the original track of history. But the question is, how to restore it?
Cao Peng couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, he felt someone pushing him next to him.
When he came back to his senses, he saw Deng Fan with a wry smile on his face, raised his finger and touched Le Jin, "The Marquis of Guangchang Ting is asking you something."
"ah?"
Cao Peng looked up and saw Le Jin looking at him with a half-smile.
"Marquis Guangchangting..."
"Hey, I'm in the army now, don't mention that title."
"General Le!" Cao Peng quickly changed his words. Seeing that Le Jin had no objection, he said in shock: "I was just thinking about something and didn't hear the general's call."
"What are you thinking about?"
"this……"
The eyes of Xi Lu and others were focused on Cao Peng.
Cao Peng said: "I was just thinking about how to kill the snake in Changshan."
"Oh? Will the plan come out?"
Cao Peng replied apologetically: "But not... As Boren said just now, Yuan Shao is like a snake on Changshan Mountain on the south bank of the river. If he strikes the head, the tail will come, if he strikes the tail, the head will come, and if he strikes the belly, the head and tail will come."
To deal with this snake in Changshan, we can pinch its head, press its tail, and cut off its belly. But it may not be easy to do it. Our army is now at a disadvantage in terms of strength. If we fight against Yuan's army head-on, I'm afraid it is not the Lord's original intention.
Bar."
Le Jin and Lu Qian's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Pinch its head, press its tail, cut off its belly...
This description is indeed appropriate. But the problem is that if you do this, it will be equivalent to attacking three places at the same time and having a head-to-head fight with Yuan Shao. If the strength of both sides is equal, then there can still be a battle. But the problem is that the strength of both sides
Too disparate.
Yuan Shao's military strength is several times greater than what Cao Cao can mobilize now.
It may not be an easy task to break the evergreen snake on the banks of the Yellow River.
However, Cao Peng's words really made Le Jin and others take a high look at him. Even Xia Houshang also nodded lightly.
"Yes, it is indeed not easy to break the snake of Changshan."
Cao Peng suddenly said: "General Le, in fact, you and I are talking nonsense here, and it is difficult to be of any use. Why not find someone who understands and ask?"
"Understand?"
"There are many advisers in my lord's tent, and there must be an expert who can come up with countermeasures.
In my opinion, Du Tinghou will definitely be able to figure it out. It’s just that he never likes to be in the limelight and will never speak unless he is forced to do something. When I was in Nanyang, I heard someone say: Gu Zang Yi
Jia, I think there are no plans left...actually, why not ask him for advice?"
Deng Fan secretly poked Cao Peng, meaning: Is there such a saying? Why haven't I heard of it?
Cao Peng turned around and glared at him. Deng Fan immediately fell into trance like an old monk and never reacted again...
"Yes, Du Tinghou is so talented that he must have a plan." Xi Lu suddenly said.
From his tone, it can be heard that he is not too convinced by Jia Xu.
"By the way, why hasn't Du Tinghou come yet?"
Wang Ze couldn't help but asked curiously: "Didn't Du Tinghou say to order troops at the Shen hour? It's almost the Shen hour, why hasn't he come yet?"
"When I left the city just now, I saw him going to Sikong Mansion."
Lu Qian answered from the side.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a report from the primary school outside the tent, "Marquis Guangchang Ting, Sikong ordered you to go to Sikong Mansion immediately to discuss military affairs."
"I'll be there right away."
Le Jin stood up, his expression looking a little solemn, "It seems that the lord doesn't have a proper plan yet.
I will go to see the lord first. The affairs here are temporarily under the command of Zi Ke. When you come back from the capital, please tell me... No matter whether the lord has made a decision or not, there will definitely be action. Send the order, and the three armies will rest where they are.
As soon as possible, take action immediately."
"Here!"
Everyone stood up one after another and intervened to answer the order.
Le Jin left in a hurry, but Deng Fan couldn't help but said: "Ah Fu, why did you provoke Jia Xu again?"
"Where did I provoke him?"
Deng Fan smiled bitterly and said: "Aren't you just forcing him with those words you just said? If he can't think of any countermeasures, the lord will definitely blame him.
You are under his command, and when the time comes, he will cause trouble for you again."
Deng Fan lived in Cao Mansion, but he knew very well how Jia Xu tormented Cao Peng during this period.
Cao Peng chuckled, "Don't worry, I don't dare to tell others, but Jia Wenhe will definitely be able to come up with a solution.
You don’t know, that guy is the one who got the toothpaste. If you don’t squeeze him, he won’t be able to spit it out. You have to force him, otherwise he won’t feel comfortable.”
"toothpaste?"
"Uh...it's just a metaphor, you know."
Cao Peng suddenly realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, so he changed the subject with a few words. Fortunately, Deng Fan was already familiar with his way of speaking, so he didn't ask further questions. After staying with Cao Peng for a long time, he often
I would hear him say some inappropriate words.
Understand, just understand the meaning!
Cao Peng sneered in his heart: Jia Wenhe, do you have this day too?
————————————————————————
Jia Xu came to the camp in the northern suburbs to organize his troops.
There was a fierce quarrel in Sikong Mansion today. It was difficult for everyone to agree on how to deal with Yuan Shao's attack. However, one thing was unanimous, that is, we must try to defeat Puyang in the shortest possible time.
Take it back...
The five schools of the Northern Army, together with the Wuwei Army and the Huben Army, totaling 8,000 people, will accompany Cao Cao on the expedition.
Xia Houyuan attacked from Chenliu and stationed jujube troops. He retreated eighty miles south of the ban and responded to Zang Baxiang to avoid being attacked. At the same time, he could temporarily stabilize the situation in Yanzhou. Xu Huang fled to Lihu and joined Li Dian. Li Dian led
The troops and horses of the headquarters marched thirty miles north to form a pressure on Puyang. At the same time, Xiahou Dun was ordered to garrison at Hulao Pass, while Cao Ren ordered the Yulin army to stay in Xudu and protect the capital.
Accompanying Cao Cao on the expedition were three thousand tiger and leopard riders...
After Jia Xu ordered his troops and horses, he just sat down and took a breath when a small school came over and said that Sikong had something to do and asked Du Ting to come and discuss it.
Not long after I came out of Sikong Mansion, why did you recruit me?
Jia Xu couldn't help being stunned, but he didn't dare to neglect. He quickly arranged his clothes and hurried to Sikong Mansion with Jia Xing.
"Lord, why did you call Xu to come?"
When he arrived at Sikong Mansion, Jia Xu saw Mr. Cao sitting in the yamen hall, accompanied by Guo Jiaxunyu.
Mr. Cao smiled slightly, showing his snow-white teeth.
"Wen He, sit down quickly."
"Ah, thank you for your humble position."
When he sat down, he found Guo Jia and Xun Yu beside him, with strange smiles on their faces.
An ominous omen suddenly appeared in my heart, and I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Wenhe..."
"The humble duty is here."
"In total, it's been almost three months since you've been here.
Haha, everything is okay?"
"Going back to my lord, I am so proud of my lord's love and entrustment with important responsibilities that I can't help but feel anxious, so I do my best to do things, and everything is pretty good."
"But you..." The smile on Mr. Cao's face suddenly disappeared, and his voice was ferocious, "I treat you very well, why don't you want to help me?"
"ah?"
"I've known for a long time that Wenhe and you have a plan for Guigu.
Now, it is a critical moment of life and death. Everyone is offering suggestions and advice. Only Wen He is leisurely and happy all day long. Could it be that when Yuan Benchu comes, take my head and offer it to me?"
These words are heart-breaking.
Jia Xu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a plop, "My lord, how dare you have any second thoughts when you have so much love from me?"
"Huh, if that's the case, then you should come up with a strategy for me to defeat the enemy."
"ah……"
"You can go back now. If there is no good solution tomorrow morning, I will kill you... Go down."
"Lord!"
"Don't back down yet."
Mr. Cao shouted sharply, which frightened Jia Xu so much that he broke out in cold sweat and left the government office in despair.
As soon as Jia Xu's front foot left, a look of anxiety suddenly appeared on Mr. Cao's face.
"Feng Xiao, Wen Ruo, do this, okay?"
Guo Jia smiled slightly, "My lord, although Youxue is young, he is not ignorant of importance. Since he said this, it means that Jia Xu will definitely be able to come up with a solution. My lord, you should think about how to fight Yuan Shao head-on." ...Jia has a plan that may succeed."
