Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 467 Drinking water and thinking of the source, old fathers full of comfort
Yanzhou, Chenliu County.

Xia Houyuan's army has arrived here, half a day's journey away from Xu Capital, and at this moment...they have been marching for a whole day.

Originally, he wanted to kill Xu Ducheng in one go, but... after all, he couldn't run anymore.

People are not tired, so are horses.

Yes, Xia Houyuan marched five hundred in three days and one thousand in six days, but if he carried his tired body to a decisive battle with the bandits, it would be tantamount to death!

But... his wife Dingxiang is still in Xuducheng.

The sons Xiahouheng, Xiahouba, Xiahoucheng, Xiahouwei, Xiahouhui are also in Xuducheng, and there is Juaner... This brother entrusted his daughter, there must be no mistakes!

"Take a rest for half an hour and continue on the road..."

Xia Houyuan gritted his teeth and made a sound. For half an hour, for this cavalry team marching in a hurry... they couldn't rest at all, but... Xia Houyuan couldn't wait, and couldn't wait for a moment...

He must, must arrive at Xudu immediately!Even if it is the end of the crossbow...you have to fight to the death with the bandits!
at this time…

An urgent message came.

Xia Houyuan's heart thumped, and he subconsciously thought that this was information about the fall of Xu Capital City!

In a hurry, he took apart the bamboo slips, his eyes were fixed on the words on it!
But it’s okay if you don’t look at it. When you look at it, you immediately raised your eyes, and said with a shocked face: "This...isn’t Xun Lingjun’s urgent report to comfort me?"

This was his first reaction.

But immediately, he beamed with joy, how could this information be false?What a strict person Xun Lingjun is, why does he have to tell such a lie?
As for the weight of this "good news", Xia Houyuan knew better than anyone else.

big victory...

Xu's capital city has not fallen, his wife Ding Xiang, and adopted daughter Juan'er are safe and sound!
On the contrary, with the cooperation of the Longxiao Battalion and Tai students, Liu Bei's [-] troops were burned to the ground by a fire. Among them, Juan'er...Heng'er and Ba'er also participated in the operation and made great contributions!

Especially Juan'er, it's still the first achievement!

This…

Immediately, Xia Houyuan felt his legs tremble a little, not because of the shock, but because... After riding a horse for a day and a night, he suddenly realized that he was riding a lonely horse!

It's too late... It's still too late, but I didn't witness the incredible victory between the Longxiao camp and the Tai students!
Haven't seen the miraculous battle of the sons and daughters!
"Ha ha…"

Xia Houyuan smiled...

The lieutenant-general at the side was a little confused. At this time, he could still laugh. Could it be that General Xiahou was insane and dazed when he saw Xu Du fall, right?Or... something unexpected happened in Xiahou Mansion?

With a "gudong", subconsciously, the lieutenants swallowed a mouthful of spit.

"Hahahaha..." Xia Houyuan's smile became more and more cheerful, his eyes were still fixed on the emergency report, and he sighed. "Heng'er, Ba'er, Juan'er, they are all good!"

The tone is serious...Let the deputy generals listen, it seems that these two sons and a daughter of Xia Houyuan died heroically!
"My condolences to the general..." the lieutenant at the side hurriedly "consoled".

There is no room for this kind of stall, but because of the sacrifice of the family... just... mess it up!
Unexpectedly, Xia Houyuan swung his arm directly.

"My condolences to your second uncle..."

I was going to slap him down, but those who don't know are innocent, Xia Houyuan clapped his hands, I'm so happy today... I won't hit anyone!

never mind…

"Hurry up, copy a few copies of this good news, and send it to Guandu, and also to nearby counties, so that they don't need to mobilize troops anymore... The danger in Xudu has been lifted."

Xia Houyuan ordered directly.

Speaking of this, Xia Houyuan felt a little unfinished, and he clicked his mouth.

"By the way, find a 'sensible' clerk to transcribe. The credits related to Juan'er, Heng'er and Ba'er must be written in full detail. And... the letter that was copied to the eldest brother must be written... It is necessary to write additional credit for Lu Situ and Miss Cai Yan! The students they taught have made great contributions!"

Uh…

After saying that, the lieutenants were a little confused!

Victory?Czech?Czech?

They suspect that their ears have misheard, how is it possible?There are only [-] old, weak and disabled soldiers in Xudu City. It would be good if they could hold on. How could it be possible to win a big victory?
With such doubts in mind, they took the bamboo slips, and what caught their eyes was a dozen large characters—the Tai students and the Long Xiao camp set up an ambush on Rangshan, and burned Liu Bei's [-] troops to death!Liu Xuande's life and death are unknown!

ah... ah...

A group of lieutenants were stunned speechless.

It was Xia Houyuan who reminded: "Why are you still standing there, hurry up, order the civil servants to copy it!"

"Here...here..."

Now, a group of lieutenants ran out of here like rabbits, it's weird, this thing is a bit weird today!
...

...

Guandu, Longxiao's camp, and the large tent of the Chinese army.

— There will be bread, and there will be milk.

At this moment, Lu Yu had such a sentence in his heart...

But his mouth changed the subject. "Wen Lie, don't get excited, there will be whole grains, minced meat and fruit, but it will take some time."

The reason why Lu Yu uttered such a sentence.

It was because Cao Xiu was sitting in front of him with frowned eyebrows. Cao Xiu had been here for an hour, and he denounced Cao Hongna's act of robbing the people and villagers in disguise as Yuan Jun.

He was in a bad mood, and he talked a lot, but Lu Yu didn't intervene, and told him to finish everything, and only when he calmed down, did he speak to comfort him.

This kind of thing is actually common in any camp.

How can a soldier not plunder the people?
It's just... Before, Cao Xiu didn't know.

Of course, what Cao Hong said was right, the Longxiao camp is full of people who don't know how hungry people are.

In fact, this is not to blame for Cao Xiu. Cao Xiu lost his father in his early years and took his mother across the river to seek refuge in Wu. It can be said that he lived with these poor people since he was a child.

Naturally, there are some "compassionate" "Madonna" plots that are also understandable!

But troubled times are troubled times, in the dream there are tears from a loving mother, and the king's banner changes on the top of the city!
The descendant of your old Cao family, Cao Song, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, also wrote a sentence-"If you rely on Jun Mo's words to seal the marquis, once you succeed, all bones will die"...

In this world, who can I turn to to reason?

Of course, the truth is this, Lu Yu still comforted Cao Xiu.

"Lu Situ? I'm going to...report this matter to my uncle, let him comment on it, and let him order it to be banned."

Cao Xiu was still chattering on and on, he was serious about this matter!

"No!" Lu Yu shook his head.

Speaking of which, Cao Xiu followed Lu Yu from the very beginning. Of course, Lu Yu knows his temperament best. He is brave in battle, strong in martial arts, takes the lead, and has great prestige in the army. The only shortcoming is that he does not understand politics and the world. .

According to the records in ancient books.

Cao Xiu and Jia Kui were at odds. When Wei Wendi wanted to give Jia Kui a talisman, Cao Xiu obstructed it. Even in the Battle of Shiting, Cao Xiu's entire army was wiped out.

I never thought that after Cao Xiu was rescued, without saying a word, he reprimanded Jia Kui on the spot, saying that he rescued him too late...

Subsequently, the two sides impeached each other!
This is one of the few black histories of Cao Xiu, but Jia Kui's generosity was praised by the people of the time!

From this little incident, Lu Yu could see that Cao Xiu had low EQ, didn't understand politics, didn't understand the world, and was just like a stubborn and honest child!

This kind of honest boy is very serious, and it is useless to talk too much about the truth. He simply presents the facts, and the facts speak louder than words.

"I guess, Cao Sikong knows about this." Lu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. "Actually, not only did he know, but he even acquiesced in such behavior..."

"This..." Cao Xiu wanted to speak again.

Lu Yu waved his hand. "Wen Lie, we have to learn to see the essence of the matter through the phenomenon. Is the fundamental crux of the matter is the looting of the people? No... it is the lack of food! 60 troops are stationed along the Yellow River, and Cao Sikong's food and grass are not enough to last too long Well, maybe the situation in the capital is unclear, and I can't go to Xuzhou to raise food immediately, alas..."

Lu Yu spread his hands...

Cao Xiu was in a hurry. "Is there no other way?"

"Yes!" Lu Yu's eyes affirmed. "That's waiting..."

"Wait?"

"That's right, I'll be able to go to Xuzhou to raise food smoothly once the news of Xu Capital comes back.

Lu Yu's tone was very light, but his confidence could not be concealed between the words. "General Zilian said? It's not easy for merchants to raise food? Then... it depends on who will raise it."

Yes…

It is said that there is no business without treachery, and it is difficult for merchants to raise food because they are treacherous and cunning, but what if... you are more cunning and treacherous than them?
That's another story!

When it comes to this.

Tread…

The sound of heavy footsteps came from outside the account.

——"Lu Situ, Cao Sikong has a request."

He is a soldier of the Huben Army...

"Do you dare to ask this strong man of the tiger? It's so late at night? Why did Cao Sikong tell me?" Lu Yu opened his mouth and asked.

"It's a matter of going south!" Huben Jiashi said truthfully.

Going south?

Lu Yu's eyes froze, the rhythm was wrong, how could he go south at a time like this?

He worked so hard to go to Xuzhou to raise food, not to let Lao Cao go south.

Damn, I have to go north... Besides, the 40 Yuan soldiers who surrendered will be transferred to the south to fight Jingzhou. Damn... just don't consider the issue of food, it's strange if they don't mutiny!

Thinking of this, Lu Yu's eyes narrowed.

But... after thinking about it, he seems to have made a mistake too. A full man doesn't know a hungry man's hunger...

If the capital city of Xu falls and the emperor is sent to Jingzhou, then...Old Cao will become a complete villain.

Only one piece of imperial edict is needed, Cao Cao is no different from Dong Zhuo in the past, and these gentry and clans attached to Lao Cao...

How would they choose?
There are huge variables in the middle.

Although he is unwilling to go south, in fact, going south to regain the emperor is indeed Lao Cao's only choice.

——"Military divisions Xun You, Zhicai, and Wenhe are all in Cao Sikong's tent, and they are waiting for Lu Situ."

The tiger ben soldier added another sentence.

Lu Yu probably understood this sentence. The decision to go south was not made by Cao Cao's brain, but by a group of military advisers who weighed the pros and cons!

Ugh…

Lu Yu sighed helplessly.

"Lead the way ahead..."

...

When Lu Yu arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, Xi Zhicai was talking eloquently, and Xun You and Jia Xu were there.

It seems that they have been talking for a long time.

The final conclusion, even if you don't talk about Lu Yu, you know...

at this time…

Xi Zhicai was panting for breath while speaking, obviously, he also knew that under the current situation, going south is not a good choice.

But the lesser of two evils...

This is the only option.

Again, the "son of heaven" has too much to do with it!
"If you want to go south, the first thing to consider is the food and grass, and the second is the morale of the army..." Xi Zhicai said: "Will the 40 Yuan soldiers be allowed to participate in the south? If they are not allowed to participate? How to arrange them, these are all necessary considerations."

Jia Xu's eyeballs rolled again and again, as an old man, he had some different opinions.

"In my opinion, although the problem of food and military morale is troublesome, it can be solved...the most difficult problem is just...the navy!"

Jia Xu said softly: "Whether it is the existing battalions of Cao's army or the soldiers and horses of Yuan's army who surrendered, they are all from the north and are not familiar with water... and Liu Jingzhou is known as an invincible navy with 30 troops. If we fight, it will be a natural moat in the Yangtze River." They can kill us!"

Hit the nail on the head…

The old Yinbi is like this, if he doesn't speak, if he wants to speak, it will be earth-shattering.

"Bad policy, it's all bad policy!"

Cao Cao shook his head, still feeling sorry.

The Battle of Guandu was won on the frontal battlefield, but... there was a problem in the rear. Strictly speaking, this cannot be regarded as a mistake, but it can only be regarded as his lack of understanding of Liu Bei. He underestimated this opponent. Much stronger than imagined.

He raised his eyes, rolled up the map on the desk case, and sighed.

"One wave of ups and downs and one wave of another, from now on the two fronts will fight, and our pressure will be doubled!"

"Why can't Cao Sikong put all his eggs in one basket and ignore the emperor?" Lu Yu thought for a while, and then made his own suggestion.

"Huh?" Cao Cao looked back at his eldest son, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Zhuyu is in the front, often in this kind of dilemma, Yu'er will have an idea.

Lu Yu coughed, and then said: "The four generations and three princes of the Yuan family, and Cao Sikong fought with them. From the moment the battle of Guandu started, both sides would not die! Yuan Shao will not stand still just because we are going to attack Jingzhou. On the contrary, once this time there is no If the northern border is pacified, then Yuan Shao will have a chance to breathe, that's what the so-called centipede is dead but not stiff!"

Cao Cao was silent for a moment.

"But what if tigers come in at the front door and wolves come in at the back door? Do we have to bite the bullet and go north?"

this…

Lu Yu paused.

"Actually, the so-called tigers enter the front door, and wolves enter the back door...It's just Cao Sikong scaring himself. According to me...What bullshit tigers and wolves, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao are chickens and monkeys! We can kill the chickens to scare the monkeys? Use the most severe means to defeat them." The chicken in front of you is not afraid of the monkey behind you!"

"This is crazy." Jia Xu thought for a while, then shook his head.

He understands Lu Yu's analogy, but in fact, Yuan Shao who was severely injured or Liu Biao who holds the emperor in his hand, which one is the tiger?Which is the wolf?Which is the chicken?Which is a monkey!It's hard to say!

Calculating carefully, taking into account internal problems, the hearts of the army, the people, and the gentry...

Letting the emperor stay in Jingzhou and attacking Yuan Shao in the north is bound to be a more dangerous action that shakes the foundation!
"However, only madness can make people fear, make Yuan Shao fear, let Liu Biao fear."

Lu Yu continued.

serious tone...

In fact, he was only halfway through his speech, and there was still a long speech to follow.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside.

——"Cao Sikong, there are pigeons coming from Chenliu County!"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Chu couldn't wait to enter the big tent here. He presented the folded white paper in his hand, and his next tone was a little choked up. "This is an urgent report from General Xiahou. There is news from Xu Capital City!"

Cao Cao was shocked...Seeing Xu Chu choked up so much, he subconsciously got up, but his heart seemed to be hit by something suddenly, and he sank suddenly...Could it be, could it be...Xu's capital city was broken?Miaocai... After all, after all, he didn't arrive!

So fast, the speed of this big-eared thief is so fast!
Next…

How about the Son of Heaven?
How about his Cao Cao's wife and children?
How about the families of the soldiers?

A series of questions emerged, and Cao Cao immediately felt a little dizzy, unable to control himself, and his face became paler and paler!Xi Zhicai is impatient.

Seeing that Cao Cao was still in a complicated expression, he asked first: "General Zhongkang should know, right? What urgent report?"

Xi Zhicai had already prepared for the worst, nothing more than attacking Xu Du.

It's okay to say, I'm afraid that Liu Bei will kidnap the emperor and retreat to Jingzhou, that will be a storm and the building will collapse!
On the other hand, Jia Xu and Xun You looked even more nervous.

Once the bad news came, it would become more involved. The so-called influence of one hair will affect the whole body. After finally breaking out of the situation, he will be beaten back to his original shape in a short while!

All these years of hard work have come to nothing.

not reconciled...

Who is so special, can he be willing?
"Good news, great victory..." Xu Chu's words finally came out. "Xu's capital city has been saved, and the emperor has saved it. This is written by Xun Lingjun himself, and General Xiahou sent someone to copy it. The students of the imperial court and the Long Xiao battalion have made great contributions...Cao Sikong and the military advisers, please read the urgent report!"

As he said that, Xu Chu's eyes were about to shed tears.

The so-called men don't flick their tears lightly, let alone a burly man like Xu Chu?

However, it was mentioned in the letter that his son was among those who made great contributions!

Xu Yi... this "bastard" who doesn't know a lot of Chinese characters, has made great achievements!

It would be fine if it was an ordinary achievement, but my "bear boy" was able to work together with a group of imperial students and Long Xiao knights to burn the 3 people of the big-eared thief to nothing!

This…

This is simply too shocking, too incredible, and... so proud of his old father!

On the other hand, Cao Cao was startled for a moment... he was silent for a while, then trembled and closed his eyes.

It seemed... It took him a long time to digest the news.

When he opened his eyes again, the sad Cao Cao disappeared, replaced by Cao Cao's devilish laugh.

——"Hahahahaha...hahahahaha!"

While laughing, his eyes were fixed on the white paper in front of him.

Black and white!

— Great victory, great victory...

Of course, the news was a bit too sudden, and Lu Yu hadn't reacted yet, even...he had imagined that this group of unsatisfactory disciples could create miracles, but it's just a fantasy.

This includes the principles of physics and chemistry...

In addition to the tacit understanding of cooperation and the thorough deployment, after all, it is Lu Yu who deploys by himself... Even the deployment may not be able to achieve a great victory! !

These students?They... did it?

incredible...

So...how did it work?
There are a hundred question marks on Lu Yu's forehead!

"Cao Sikong, or... this urgent message, read it and listen to it?"

Lu Yu was too curious. During these days, he couldn't eat well and sleep well. He always fantasized about what these disciples would do in such a situation.
Is hiding?

Or sleep at home, lie flat, and act as if nothing happened?
Or... the most humanitarian, to help him hide Sister Zhaoji and Da Qiao, if he can do this, Lu Yu can already show an "old father" smile!
But... great victory?
It's not that it was defended, but it was a great victory... Xun Lingjun's ability to report these two words is enough to prove that Xu Ducheng not only defended, but also... Liu Bei was repelled!
Then...

Question comes?

Great victory is great victory?But among this group of unfulfilling disciples, is there anyone who... was unlucky and sacrificed heroically?
This point, Lu Yu really wants to know!

If so, Lu Yu would be sad, at least... for an hour!
...
