Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 296

After Tong Guan laughed, Liu Yanqing said cautiously: "Master Tong Shu, destroy the bandits crossing the river, deter them with a threat, and then call for security. This strategy is really good, but there is a problem, which makes the general very worried."

Liu Yanqing is Tong Guan's former troops of the Western Army, today's battle, he resolutely stayed in the rear, almost fell to death, Tong Guan's heart doesn't move?
Immediately, he said softly: "You are a senior general in the army. I have always respected you. Why can't you speak out? Listening to your words, could it be that the old man is thinking, but there is something wrong?"

Liu Yanqing hastily waved his hands and said: "It's not that Xiang Shu thought something wrong, but that General Wu suddenly killed the enemy, which greatly frustrated the enemy's morale. I want to rebel, but I don't know how many troops General Wu has come here. Don't be afraid? Therefore, the final general is only worried that they will send troops from Jinzhong, and when they will be able to kill all the bandits across the river in such a steady stream? If there is a long delay, it will not miss the plan of the prime minister."

"Ah!" Tong Guan slapped his hands and said again and again: "As expected of a veteran! Duan has thought carefully. In this way, we still have to guard the Yellow River and make a good game of closing the door and beating dogs, but this is not easy. ... Hey, General Wu, why are you laughing?"

When Cao Cao heard Liu Yanqing mention crossing the river, his heart suddenly moved, and a plan came up, but it was inconvenient for him to open his mouth, so he deliberately made a foolish smile to attract the boy to ask questions.

Seeing Tong Guan put on the trick, Cao Cao smiled slightly: "The last general must be smiling at someone else, just because he watched Enxiang talking with Old General Liu, with a few words, the overall situation has been settled, and he knew why the Western Army is strong, so he smiled happily. Happily, once the Yellow River is locked, it's not just a plan to beat the dog with the relatives, Tian Hu and his fellow see that there is no hope of crossing the river, and it will be much easier to recruit security."

Tong Guan nodded again and again, and said, "If the river can really be sealed, that's the situation."

Then he said sadly: "It's just a pity and a pity. In the past, the emperor Taizu was so talented that he dug gold pools outside the city of Bianjing and built a water army. He destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty in one plan, and attacked Youzhou in the second period. Later, the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed. During the peace talks between Song and Liao, the navy lost its usefulness and wasted money. What is the difficulty of blocking the Yellow River? Now it is necessary to think of a good strategy."

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, frowned, pretended to be thinking, suddenly slapped his legs, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot about this person! Well, if it wasn't for the kindness and blessings, how could there be such a clever way?"

Tong Guanqi said: "What clever method?"

Cao Cao said happily: "The last general is in Nanfeng. Didn't he take over Wenren Shichong and his two lieutenants? Wenren is nicknamed 'Han Water Dragon King'. He is a hero who rides the waves, and now he is under the command of the last general, as long as Enxiang shares the boat with him, he will teach the Jin thieves not to cross the river with horses."

Tong Guan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Why is it so hard to get a boat? In Jinming Pond, although those big ships have gone to Dengzhou, there are still countless small and medium warships. Those ships are not usable in the sea, and no one cares about them. I will build them here." The following document is for the man named Wenren to take it by himself—but there is only one section, all three of them are surrendered generals, if they get the ship and turn to Tian Hu, wouldn’t it be bad? How can we restrain others.”

Cao Cao patted his chest straight after hearing this: "Don't worry, my lord, this matter is all up to the general. When the general did business in the beginning, he also traveled by water, and he had a few people who were familiar with water and martial arts. , the last general recruited them, and put them next to Wenren Shichong, he is willing to serve faithfully, which is naturally the best, if there is any dissent, then follow Ma Dai's example of beheading Wei Yan, and kill them with one blow."

Tong Guan nodded and said with a smile: "In this way, there is nothing to worry about. Forget it, the horse must be fed and the man must be treated well, so he made that Wenren the commander of the Yellow River Navy, and two of his subordinates were also deputy generals. As the deputy commander of your confidant, you will send him to pick a ship at night and block the Yellow River waterway as soon as possible."

At present, the scribes were called, and the documents were written in the account, and Tong Guan personally used the seals. Fearing that the officials of Bianjing would put on airs and delay, he specially ordered two of his cronies, Marquis Yu, to accompany him, and quickly opened up the upper and lower joints.

Cao Cao held the document, went back and explained it in detail to Wen Ren Shichong, who was very happy to hear that Ren Shichong said to Cao Cao: "This time, the younger brother is in charge of the navy, and the Yellow River is all controlled by the elder brother!"

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Dengzhou navy is under my control. Now you control the Yellow River, and the river and sea are all in our hands. But you only have more than 5000 people, and your strength is not enough. There are also athletes in the water on Liangshan Mountain. Treat me Send some people to help you, make up the number of [-] people."

After finishing speaking, I wrote a letter and handed it to Wenren Shichong: "You received this letter carefully. After arriving in Bianjing, go to that certain inn and find Shi Qian of 'Drum Flea', and give the letter to him. It will be done by itself."

Wenren Shichong put away the letter, bid farewell to Cao Cao solemnly, ordered his troops and horses, and left with the two Marquis Yu.

The next day, Tong Guan reorganized his army. He brought an army of [-] to attack Xijing, and lost more than [-] troops in a big defeat. It is enough to make up for the loss of children.

Tong Guan left all the wounded soldiers in the camp to rest, and for the remaining 80,000 people, he wanted to attack Luoyang again.

The generals were startled when they heard this, Liu Yanqing frowned and said: "Prince Shu, our army is newly defeated, at least we should rest for a while, otherwise the morale will not recover, how can we fight a big battle?"

Tong Guan sighed and said: "The old man has been on the battlefield for a long time, how can I not know this kind of truth? But you have to think carefully, Xijing is only more than two hundred miles away from Tokyo, and the bandits and soldiers are here. The officials can't sleep peacefully day and night, and they only want me to win. If I procrastinate, there will be endless rumors in the court, and Tong Mou will lose the battle for spreading rumors."

Some judges wondered: Didn't this guy really lose the battle?No and no!It was the Jin bandits who came suddenly, intending to attack our army. However, Marshal Tong, who had a good understanding of the fire, made a plan to push the boat along the way, deliberately feigned defeat, and used his arrogance to lure out the main force of the bandits. Only then did the army that had been ambushed in advance Killing, that is, Cao Cao's army, beheaded the fire-breathing Yaodao of the bandit army in one fell swoop, as well as many important generals, won a big victory, and forced the bandit soldiers into Xijing, not daring to take another step lightly.

Anyway, that's how it was written in the military book written by the imperial court.

Seeing that Tong Guan was determined to fight, Wang Bao rolled his eyes and stepped forward and said, "What Enxiang said is the most reasonable. However, General Liu's worries are also true. Now that the morale of our army is withered, it is really unacceptable." Great Ren, counting with one's fingers, only General Wu's subordinates have won consecutive victories, and their morale is strong. If they want to fight again, General Wu is willing to take General Wu as the vanguard!"

Tong Guan looked at Cao Cao, hesitant.

He felt a little bit embarrassed, just after his life was saved, he turned around and sent him to fight the vanguard. In Tong Guan's view, this was immoral.

Because according to Tong Guan's usual practice in fighting, those subordinate generals who gave him a lot of bribes would be placed in the central army or garrison food. Be the forward of the army now, work hard to kill the enemy, don't let this old man down."

How can there be any reason to let people be pioneers casually?

But after thinking about it for a while, it seems that only Cao Cao is the best at fighting, so he smashed his mouth, looked at Cao Cao and smiled, "General Wu, what do you think?"

Cao Cao stood up and cupped his fists, and said with great emotion: "Mr. En, Wu came to the army, but General Liu is a soldier. If he hadn't been promoted by Mr. En, how could he have such a soldier? Now killing the enemy for Mr. En is naturally the last general's job." Things! The final general is willing to be the vanguard and step down Xijing for En Xiang."

Tong Guan was overjoyed when he heard this, stood up and pointed at him and said, "Good! Loyalty! General Wu, you have lived up to my commander, and this commander has lived up to you. If you win this battle, you will have a bright future. "

There are different teachings: extravagant cover the hero to fix the storm, and the mighty boat master locks the big river.The [-] troops are fighting together, and the city of Xijing will go to war!
