Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 783 Please enter the urn? (4100)

"Lieutenant Zhang's views are slightly biased. I personally think that meritorious deeds can not be achieved only by killing the enemy. Sometimes you can use your brain and make some right choices. You can also turn the world around without a single soldier. It is also easy to make meritorious deeds."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

How could he not hear the contempt in Zhang Xi's words?
It's just that he's bored at the moment, and he needs to keep in touch with each other frequently after the march, so he doesn't take these details to heart. On the contrary, he thinks it's a good thing that his general is such a straight-hearted person, at least he won't hide his thoughts Then, it will be easier for him to use tricks in the future.

"The last general is not as capable as General Wu."

Zhang Xi then sneered, and said solemnly, "Since General Wu was appointed by Duke Ming, the last general will naturally dare not say anything, but I also ask General Wu to stop talking about wars on paper. Just sit in the army tent, the last general will lead his men to kill the enemy who will invade in the future, the greatest credit for the victory is General Wu, and the final general will take the blame for the defeat, it has nothing to do with General Wu, how?"

Zhang Xi thought that what he said was very reserved, but how could anyone with a discerning eye fail to hear it? He completely regarded Wu Liang as a bastard who came down from the air to make military achievements, so he didn't expect Wu Liang to do anything. I hope that once a war breaks out, Wu Liang can sit aside honestly and don't command randomly.

"Hey! How do you talk?"

Before Wu Liang responded, Yang Wanli was the first to stop listening. He immediately stepped forward and glared at Zhang Xi and shouted, "General Wu is also someone you have the right to despise? You should have heard of the flying general Lu Bu, right? It was captured alive by General Wu without a single soldier, so what are you!"

After speaking, Yang Wanli looked at the officers and men behind Zhang Xi who seemed to be in a turbulent tone, and spat and scolded: "What are you looking at? General Wu is just too lazy to argue with you, can't he still restrain you? You are not afraid to say it. I scare you, if we meet on the battlefield, you better pray that you are not the enemy of General Wu, otherwise with your small number of people, you will be wiped out by our army in a moment, and you will not even have a chance to surrender!"

"Who are you scaring? The Turen army is just an army of craftsmen playing with mud. They can drive us to extinction in just a moment. Do you really think we are being bluffed?"

As soon as the voice fell, someone immediately questioned it loudly, which seemed to be a bit of a booing.

"Hahaha……"

"Don't just talk big, we are here, why don't you bring the Huan army to try?"

"I'm afraid that just when they heard that they were going to go to the battlefield, these craftsmen were already scared enough to pee their pants!"

"Hahahahaha, come on..."

All of a sudden, the soldiers behind Zhang Xi burst into laughter, and the language of ridicule and provocation was endless.

"you!"

Yang Wanli's following Wu Liang was always going against the odds, and his temper naturally rose. Seeing that these guys didn't know how to live or die, he immediately became hot-headed and almost unleashed his weapon.

"Yang Wanli."

Wu Liang raised his hand to stop him, signaled him to stop talking with his eyes, then looked at Zhang Xi and the soldiers, and said with a smile, "It can be seen that Captain Zhang and all the soldiers have seen blood on the battlefield. For a true man, some bloodiness and anger are perfectly normal, but I believe everyone, once on the battlefield, everyone will definitely put aside all prejudices, and everything is about fellowship."

After finishing speaking, Wu Liang looked at Zhang Xi again, gave a salute and said with a smile: "Lieutenant Zhang, I am also very optimistic about your ability to lead the army, so I ask Captain Zhang to take care of you on this trip, thank you."

"This……"

Wu Liang's attitude was so kind, and Zhang Xi, who was really stupid, couldn't do it anymore. After being so stunned for a moment, he hesitated and changed to a military salute, "General Wu is serious, a certain general will do his best."

"Once again, all of you officers and men, Wu's wealth and life are entrusted to you. If you can come back safe and sound this time, when the commander returns to the court, Wu will definitely set up a banquet to entertain you and prepare generous gifts to express his gratitude. "

Wu Liang turned around and immediately gave a formal salute to the soldiers present.

"..."

Those soldiers were also confused by Wu Liang, but they didn't know how to answer, they looked at each other for a while, and the scene was completely silent.

"What are you still doing? Teach Wu Taishi that we have different etiquette?"

Zhang Xi turned around and drank.

"Thank you Wu Taishi..."

Only then did the soldiers come to their senses, and saluted Wu Liang together.

Even though their thoughts were not in agreement at the moment, they were still very neat when saluting and thanking Wu Liang, in a state of coincidence.

In addition, Wu Liang had observed the equipment equipped by this army before.

Although their equipment has not reached the level of sophisticated and complete, it can be regarded as slightly above the middle level among Cao Ying, and their combat effectiveness is naturally not too weak.

Therefore, Boss Cao did not just give Wu Liang an army of 500 people. An army with such a level of equipment must at least be counted among Boss Cao’s direct lineage. The unknown characters, let alone those who have never appeared in history books, just hadn't come into Wu Liang's sight before.

"You don't need to be too polite, you can take care of yourself."

Wu Liang smiled and nodded at the crowd, and then led Yang Wanli and [-] soldiers of the Huren Army to the side, even though they couldn't hear clearly at all, he acted like he was listening carefully to Boss Cao's oath.

At this moment, Yang Wanli showed shame, and softly apologized to Wu Liang: "My lord, I know I was a little impulsive just now, I really shouldn't have said those words, but it's because they are too arrogant, I really can't hold back my anger..."

"It's okay."

Wu Liang looked sideways and smiled indifferently, "You didn't say anything wrong, it's just that it doesn't match our usual low-key style of doing things, so next time we'd better not be so sincere, lest people find out our bottom line."

"What your son said is very true."

Yang Wanli nodded in agreement, and said, "However, the young master's move of retreating into advance is really powerful. Just a few words will make it difficult for them to be hostile to us. You will learn it in the end."

"It's just that the conflict hasn't escalated for the time being. Next, they still have a clear separation from us. Recently, if it's not necessary, you and our people should try to minimize contact with them, so as to avoid similar conflicts again, understand?"

Wu Liang said seriously.

"promise."

Yang Wanli responded.

Wu Liang didn't have any idea of ​​leading the army in the first place, this time it was Boss Cao who drove the ducks to the shelves, so before he came out this time, Wu Liang had already made plans to be a "quiet bastard".

In short, regarding military matters, he must be able to mess around as long as he can, and stay away as long as he can.

Therefore, Wu Liang was not interested in what Zhang Xi and the troops wanted to do. He only hoped that he could live more comfortably during the expedition.

And now the only thing that can affect Wu Liang is the battle of Wancheng in history.

Dian Wei will be fine if he stays in Chenliu, but Boss Cao, Cao Ang, Cao Ting and others are stepping towards danger step by step, and the wheel of history may crush them at any time.

……

the other side.

Zhang Xi and his soldiers also began to discuss in low voices.

"General, this man surnamed Wu is a man who understands current affairs. If he hadn't spoken kindly in a timely manner, how could we tolerate the belittling of that surnamed Yang."

A general said to Zhang Xi quite proudly.

"exactly."

Another person stepped forward and said with a smile, "Now I am more and more suspicious of what that surnamed Yang said. Flying General Lv Bu, how could he be captured alive without using a single soldier? Even if there is such a thing, it must be The blind cat touched a dead field mouse and picked up a ready-made bargain."

"..."

However, Zhang Xi still frowned at this moment, looked at Wu Liang's back not far away and said thoughtfully, "No matter what, without my permission, you must not interrupt at will when I negotiate with this surname Wu in the future. , not to speak provocatively in front of him, do you understand?"

"Why is that?"

"Why should the general be afraid of him?"

"That is, although he is favored by Duke Ming and holds a high position, he still needs to rely on us to charge forward. What can he do to us?"

All the soldiers said with disdain.

"You still underestimate the morals of this world. If a person who is so flexible and in a high position is a gentleman, it's okay to say, but if he is a narrow-minded villain... he will kill without blood."

Zhang Xi said solemnly.

"!"

All the soldiers were stunned when they heard the words.

Even if they have never encountered this kind of thing, they have heard of it more or less... A person of Wu Liang's status really doesn't need to do it himself. He just needs to listen to Boss Cao's decision-making, and he may make a decision. More than 500 of them were sent to a desperate situation, and this was just the simplest operation among countless methods.

"It's still the same sentence, don't confront this person tit for tat, give him the face you deserve, respect you with the courtesy you deserve, and be the first to send the food to him when you're ready."

Zhang Xi went on to say, "In short, no matter what the purpose of his coming here is, he is our commander on the surface, and he must enjoy the treatment of a commander. Only when we fight against the enemy, we can make a difference. I understand. Is it?"

……

After half an hour.

The messengers came to each battalion one by one on fast horses to inform the departure.

The Huan army and Zhang Xiu's troops walked together, and this time the Huan army was accompanied by only three carriages, and one had a sedan chair for people to sit on. I like to ride in a carriage, so I use it as a backup for transporting the wounded.

The other two carriages were all prepared in advance as spare equipment for the Huren army. As for the food and payment, the Huren army did not need to prepare it themselves. Boss Cao had a special grain and grass army in charge.

So everything was fine.

Boss Cao didn't order an urgent march, so on the fourth day, the army finally arrived at Kunyang (later Pingdingshan area) on the edge of Nanyang County, and tens of miles away was the area controlled by Zhang Xiu.

But at this moment, according to Wu Liang's understanding of history, Zhang Xiu must have already shrunk his troops to the Wancheng and Jixian areas.

"Zhang Xiu should send someone to deliver the letter of surrender soon, right?"

Wu Liang thought so in his heart.

In history, during Boss Cao's southern expedition, Zhang Xiu led the crowd to surrender before reaching the place, and then Boss Cao suffered an unbearable blow because of his negligence.

However, according to historical records, Zhang Xiu should have surrendered when Boss Cao's army arrived in the Feishui area.

And Kunyang is still at least one day away from Yushui...

Think about these.

Wu Liang suddenly wondered again, is it possible that Zhang Xiu's backstab had nothing to do with his aunt Mrs. Zou, and the surrender and backstab itself were the same plot against Boss Cao, not a coincidence?

After all, from another perspective, if Boss Cao accepted Madam Zou, he may not have the idea of ​​marriage with Zhang Xiu, which may not be a bad thing for Zhang Xiu... and Boss Cao himself has had a lot of concubines in history. , and has always treated the relatives and heirs of the concubine's room as his own, at least the superficial work is quite good.

Speaking of plans.

Wu Liang thought of Jia Xu, the poisonous man again. At this time, Jia Xu was Zhang Xiu's brain truster. Especially after Boss Cao's two southern expeditions, Zhang Xiu obeyed Jia Xu's words. Jia Xu said to go east, and Zhang Xiu It will never go west.

The result was early the next morning.

An exciting news has spread throughout Cao Ying——Zhang Xiu sent envoys to deliver the surrender letter!
The surrender letter said that Zhang Xiu heard that Boss Cao's army was coming, and knew that his own strength was absolutely irresistible, so he had to send someone to ask Liu Biao for help.

Unexpectedly, Liu Biao refused to send troops to help, so Zhang Xiu decided to draw a line with Liu Biao and surrender to Boss Cao in a fit of anger.

at the same time.

The county magistrates of Zhi County, Ye County, Duyang County, Wuyin County, and Bowang County also surrendered to Boss Cao.

"Yang Wanli, show me the map."

Wu Liang immediately said to Yang Wanli.

"promise."

Not long after, Yang Wanli laid out a sheepskin map in front of Wu Liang.

Wu Liang immediately looked at the counties and cities of Nanyang County marked on the sheepskin map, and then found out the locations of these counties that surrendered, and compared them one by one.

Soon Wu Liang discovered a commonality.

These seven counties are all located on the only way for Cao Jun to go to Wancheng. If these seven counties cannot be defended, it will take some effort for Boss Cao to remove each city one by one.

"This……"

Wu Liang immediately frowned, smelling a conspiracy.

When I read this period of history in the history books before, I didn’t think much about it, but now that I have grasped the actual situation and looked at this matter, how come there is a feeling that Zhang Xiu is “inviting the king into the urn” right now.

Is my guess right?

From the very beginning, this was a poisonous plan set up by Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu. They actually wanted to behead Cao Boss. Unfortunately, Cao Boss was too fateful. escaped alive...

And if Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu's plan succeeds.

Once Boss Cao dies, Cao Ying will be leaderless. Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu will take advantage of the chaos and go northward to collect the remnants of Boss Cao. They will have a chance to replace Boss Cao in one fell swoop. Then, from a small warlord who can only rely on others, he will become one who controls the Central Plains and China at the same time. Lord Xiandi!
But there is one more problem.

In history, there is no record of whether Guo Jia participated in the Southern Expedition, but this time Guo Jia really came together. Even if this plan deceived Boss Cao, can it deceive the ghost Guo Jia?
