Chapter 158
Cao Cao asked, who is willing to lead the army to meet the siege of Yecheng.

Of these generals present, everyone naturally wanted to go.

Su Ming set fire to Wuchao, attacked Yecheng by surprise, and beheaded Yuan Shao. These three things were done.

Su Ming alone accounted for [-]% of the credit for the battle of Guandu between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

This credit was given to Su Ming alone, and the rest of the generals have to find a way to make credit, right?
Therefore, the greatest contribution now is to relieve the siege of Ye City.

Whoever can lead troops to break the siege of Ye City and rescue Su Ming will be considered a great achievement.

Less meat, more wolves.

This is the only great achievement, and all the generals under Cao Cao's command are staring at it.

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, he saw all the generals kneeling down like dumplings.

"The end will be willing to go."

"The end will be willing to go."

"The end will be willing to go."

Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xia Houyuan, Xia Houdun, Li Dian, Le Jin, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, etc., one after another, the generals knelt down and begged for orders.

When Cao Cao saw it, everyone wanted to go.

"Then we can go together!"

"Everyone is going, there are so many people going, can you scare Zhang Xi away?" Cao thought in his heart.

Cao Cao just wanted to give an order, saying that everyone should go together.

Guo Jia saw Cao Cao's intentions, and quickly stopped him, saying, "My lord, it is of course important to send troops to rescue the young master."

"However, before sending troops to save the young master, you have to send out two groups of soldiers first."

Guo Jia is Cao Cao's number one military adviser, and he will definitely not be aimless.

So Cao Cao hurriedly asked for advice: "Fengxiao, what's your opinion?"

Guo Jia strode to the front of the military map, pointed to the location of Yecheng and said, "My lord, if we want to save Yecheng, you have to send two groups of troops first."

"On the way to guard against the high-ranking cadres in Bingzhou to lead troops to support, and on the other way you have to guard against Yuan Tan in Qingzhou to support Yecheng."

"Only by sending troops to block the soldiers and horses that are rushing to help from Qing'er Prefecture, can we save the young master."

Guo Jia thought to himself, we can't lead our soldiers straight to Yecheng in one go!

In such a dazed rush, we rushed to Yecheng, beat Zhang He away, and rescued the young master.

At that time, high-ranking officials will outflank from Bingzhou, Yuan Tan will outflank from Qingzhou, and Yuan Xi will outflank from Youzhou.

Even if he saved the young master and won Yecheng, he would be surrounded by others instead.

Cao Cao is also a master of the art of war. When Guo Jia said this, Cao Cao understood what he meant.

Therefore, Cao Cao immediately issued an order: "Order Xiahou Dun as the general and Xiahou Yuan as the deputy general, leading [-] soldiers and horses, responsible for blocking the soldiers and horses of the high-ranking officials in Bingzhou."

"Order Cao Ren as the chief general, and Cao Chun as the deputy general, responsible for blocking Yuan Tan's troops in Qingzhou."

After dispatching these two groups of soldiers and horses first, Cao Cao didn't have to worry about it. His rear was outflanked and surrounded by others.

After Xiahou brothers and Cao Ren were dispatched, Cao Cao decided to lead the Chinese army to rescue Su Ming.

Cao Cao is eager to save his son now, and he doesn't feel at ease if anyone goes there. He can only feel at ease if he goes by himself.

It is true that Cao Cao personally led the troops to rescue Su Ming, but he had to send a vanguard officer!
The vanguard officer takes the lead in the front, which is to open the way when encountering mountains and build bridges when encountering water.

After ruling out any ambushes ahead, Cao Cao led the army to travel with peace of mind.

Cao Cao's advisers were like clouds, and fierce generals were like rain. He looked around, looking for the most suitable vanguard officer.

After Cao Cao looked around, he still decided to let Cao Hong be the vanguard officer.

The most elite cavalry under Cao Cao's command is the five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry.

The five thousand tiger and leopard riders were divided into three thousand leopard riders and two thousand tiger riders.

Tiger cavalry are heavy cavalry and are not good at traveling long distances. Therefore, Cao Cao decided that Cao Hong would lead three thousand leopard cavalry as the vanguard and rush to Yecheng to rescue Su Ming.

"Cao Hong, I order you to lead three thousand leopard riders as vanguard officers."

"One of you and three horses, go to Yecheng day and night!" Cao Cao issued an order.

After the order was issued, Cao Hong bowed his hands and said, "The last general takes orders."

From Cao Cao's camp to Yecheng, it would take at least five or six days for Cao Cao's army to arrive.

If Cao Hong's three thousand leopard riders traveled day and night, they would have to arrive first before Cao Cao's army.

Although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were elite, it was undoubtedly a dream to shake Zhang Yun's [-] army with only [-] Leopard Cavalry.

Therefore, even if Cao Hong rushed to Yecheng first, it could only relieve Su Ming's pressure and attract the attention of some Zhang He soldiers.

After thinking about this, Cao Cao felt that it was inappropriate to only let Cao Hong lead three thousand leopard cavalry as the vanguard officer.

In case, before he led his troops, Zhang Yun captured Ye City, then Su Ming would be in danger.

After thinking of this, Cao Cao scanned the generals under his command again.

Soon, Cao Cao set his sights on Li Dian and Le Jin.

Last time, Le Jin was captured alive by Ju Yi because of his aggressiveness.

However, aggressiveness also shows that Le Jin is a general who dares to fight and kill.

At this time, what Cao Cao wants to use is this kind of general who dares to charge and kill at all costs.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao issued another order: "Li Dian, where is Le Jin?"

"I ordered you two to be the vanguard officers of the second route. I will give you [-] cavalry, and I will gather [-] horses from the whole army for you. You will also have three horses each, and I will drive to Yecheng day and night."

The tiger and leopard cavalry are Cao Cao's elite troops, and they were originally equipped with one man and three horses.

However, ordinary cavalry is different.

Ordinary cavalry have one man and one horse.

The cavalry under Cao Cao's command was not too many. After collecting three horses for one man and three horses for Li Dianlejin, it can be said that basically all the good horses in the army were given to them.

It can be seen from this that Cao Cao also tried his best to understand the siege of Yecheng.

"The last general takes orders!"

"The last general takes orders!" Li Dian and Le Jin also accepted the order.

After dispatching two vanguard officers one after another, Cao Cao ordered all the ministries to set up camps and cook pots.

Cook now, leave when you are full, and don't miss a moment.

Before the meeting adjourned, Cao Cao looked solemn again, and asked all the generals under his command in an extremely serious tone: "Did you ever know the first priority of this operation?"

The generals thought to themselves, my lord, don't be so secretive, what do you want us to do, just say it directly?

"My lord, please tell me, we will definitely keep it in mind!" All the generals clasped their hands together and said.

Cao Cao walked up to the generals and said in a serious tone, "The first priority in this battle is to rescue my son Su Ming."

"I don't need Yecheng, but Su Ming must live."

"In this battle, I want to live Su Ming, not kill Su Ming."

Before the war, Cao Cao said something like this.

At this moment, Cao Cao is not so much the prime minister of the great man as he is a father who is worried about his children.

Cao Hong, Li Dian, and Le Jin, the three vanguard officials, also thought about it. This time, the burden of the three of them was particularly heavy.

If there is something wrong with Su Ming, the three vanguard officers should not come back, just find a tree with a crooked neck outside Yecheng and hang themselves!
