Fall In Love with the Technology Tree - Chapter 171
Wancheng is only 200 kilometers away from Xu County, and a large army can reach it in five days. If it is replaced by cavalry, it will be faster, and it will not be a problem.
Cao Cao is also true.
Only after Dong Zhuo’s death, the soldiers of Xiliang scrambled for infighting and arbitrarily claimed the title of king. Zhang Xiu’s uncle also died in a raid. As a young man, Zhang Xiu was quite wise. He left Chang’an, which had become a fire pit, with his direct troops, and went to the south to seek food. He was finally accepted by Liu Biao of Jingzhou and settled in Wancheng, which is at the junction of Liu Biao and Cao Cao.
Xu County, which is well-mannered and full of students, is only a day’s journey away from Xiliang’s iron cavalry!
It’s no wonder that Zhang Xiu became a thorn in Cao’s heart on the first day she entered Wancheng.
The urgency of removing Zhang Xiu is far above Tao Qian and Liu Biao.
For this reason, Cao Cao sent 100,000 troops to Xuxian in three routes. At this time, it is the golden autumn and October, and the autumn harvest has just ended. The Yellow Flower Sea in the south of Juancheng witnessed this huge pre-war mobilization. Carloads of soybeans, horse grass, dry food for the army, wound medicine… stretched forward along the smooth broken sand and cement road. to the end.
The so-called three armies have not moved, food and grass will go first.
At this time, Cao Cao was dressed in military uniform, and behind the horse was the tiger and leopard that accompanied him. Over the past 20 years, the world has changed. Many of the earliest tiger and leopard riding teenagers died in battle or retired due to injuries. At the same time, young faces were added. The second generation of riders, the third generation of riders… The old and the new changed, Only the temperament of the military remains the same.
Before 10,000 cavalrymen lined up to camp, they were able to achieve not even the slightest discordant neighing of the horses. Superb riding skills, strict discipline, and arrogant murderous aura all converged into an iron-like silence.
This is Tiger and Leopard Ride.
Temporary soldiers and conscripts who enlisted for less than a year can only cast awe at them, and then try to straighten their bodies.
Cao Cao sprinkled a bowl of water wine in front of the military flag with the word “Cao” painted on it. “Everyone, Xu County, Yingchuan, is an important place for the school. The remains of the late emperor are buried there; the headquarters of the medical hall for the treatment of your wounds and illnesses is there; the military uniforms you wear, the rations you eat, and the weapons you use are not a single one. It didn’t come from there. Our children and grandchildren, the most learned will also go there. Ladies and gentlemen, this battle to defend the family! Rather die – not retreat!”
“No retreat! No retreat! No retreat!” The shouts of countless adult men exploded like a tsunami, as if sparks ignited an oil barrel.
Cao Cao mounted his horse and raised his sword: “Go!”
Countless horseshoes stepped on the Yanyu New Road, and ran forward with the footsteps of the infantry and the sound of the end of the long weapon hitting the ground.
A scout dressed in short brown and guarding the city appeared at this time. Holding a green jadeite engraved with the word “sheng”, he rushed directly into the queue, his face full of soot and blood that brought the smell of war.
The cavalry in black and black armor had seen such a stunned young man for a long time, and they were going to shoot him from a long distance, but when they saw the big jadeite, their expressions changed. Only when the scout approached, did he stop it with a spear.
“Who are you? Why do you have this jade pendant?”
The ragged soldier opened his mouth with a Qingzhou accent: “I have an emergency military situation, and I want to meet Meng Degong.”
“Your student number?”
“Wei, Weihai Yiwu, 7529477.” The soldier replied subconsciously.
Cao Jiu looked solemn. This is a graduate of Weihai Academy, a seventh-class student that begins with seven characters, and most of them are local parents now. He said in a deep voice, “Wait a moment,” and drove his horse to Cao Cao. “Master, the Qingzhou military situation, called the emergency report.”
Cao Cao didn’t dare to neglect when he heard the words, after all, his own sister was still there. “What about people?” he asked immediately.
The two tigers and leopards were instructed to bring the Weihai Yiwu 7529477 to Cao Cao.
“Is Qingzhou in danger? I received a safety letter from Zhonghua a few days ago.”
The injured messenger saw Cao Cao as if he saw a life-saving straw: “Meng Degong, please send a general to the north.”
“A Sheng can’t resist Yuan Shao’s harassment? She has a flying eagle, and Qingzhou has been operating for many years, and the fortifications are like iron barrels.” Cao Cao was really shocked.
“How could Cao Zi be unable to stop the harassment?” The man was so angry that he almost broke free from the tiger and leopard knights’ hands. Yuan Shao sent his eldest son Yuan Tan to harass Pingyuan County, and he was repelled by Cao Zi at a distance of 30 miles outside of Pingyuan City. Thousands of people drowned in the river, and Yuan Tan himself was almost captured alive.”
This is confusing. “Since the battle went well, where did your emergency report come from?”
Dangerous. Bie… Bie was originally a grain officer of the state of Fei, and I saw with my own eyes that the Tao army broke through the city, looted the granary, and set fire everywhere before leaving.”
You actually played by yourself?!”
The destitute Fei Guo grain official wiped his snot and tears, revealing his red nose: “Because we are stationed at the border, Cao Zilu once instructed: If Xuzhou changes, then the east of Mount Tai will be The people evacuated and only set up defenses in the mountains; if Xuzhou sent tens of thousands of troops, they would come to seek Duke Mengde. Now the Tao army has left Liangfu Mountain in the west, and the city of Pingyuan is far away from Juancheng. I was infected with the wind and cold during the water battle, and I really lacked the skills to do it. I also asked Duke Meng De to give me a general, so that we can fight Tao Qian to the death.”
The other party said something reasonable, Cao Cao nodded again and again: “It should be, it should be. Just who to send…”
“I’m going!” There was a sudden shout from the crowd, and at first glance, it was Liu Bei.
Liu Bei pushed aside the crowd and walked closer, and everyone could see the resolute uprightness on his face: “Prepare yourselves and ask to support Taishan County, there are three reasons: First, I once led troops in Xuzhou. Tao army is very familiar with the formation of troops. Knowing yourself and the enemy, you have a better chance of winning. Second, I have been in and out of Taishan County many times, and I am familiar with the map. I have an old relationship with several generals under Tao Qian, and it is more convenient to persuade to surrender and persuade peace. Because of the above three points, I am prepared to support Taishan County and resist Tao Qian’s invasion. “
The generals nodded. In this way, there is really no more suitable candidate than Liu Bei.
Cao Cao’s suspicious eyes flickered, but he didn’t answer directly: “Gong Xuande wants to fight with his old friend, won’t it be embarrassing?”
“What’s the problem?” Guan Yu shouted, “Could it be that Duke Cao can’t trust my eldest brother?”
He shouted loudly, “Duke Cao, our brothers volunteered to lead troops to Tao Qian. Do you agree or not?”
Under the eyes of the public, Cao Cao had to answer. In fact, he couldn’t find a reason to speak up.
So, before leaving Juancheng, Liu Bei divided his troops and headed north. Although he brought less than 2,000 people, most of them were made of nails, Cao Cao’s spies, Cao Sheng’s espionage department, many people’s temperaments looked different, so don’t bully people too much.
This soldier cannot be brought. Apart from beating Tao Qian honestly, these people would not let Liu Xuande have a single extra fart. Liu Bei’s face was sullen, and the last hope in his heart was shattered. Cao Cao’s fear of him was too deep, and he could not develop if he stayed in Cao’s camp.
“Fortunately, I still have two brothers.” When the army disappeared, Liu Bei sighed.
“I also feel that Cao Amu doesn’t like the eldest brother.” Zhang Fei said unceremoniously, and then blushed in shame, “Because of the last time I checked the map, I had a quarrel with Zhonghua. Otherwise, I can go to defect to her now, Pingyuan County is a good place with rich people and rich people, and it is far from Juancheng.”
“Be quiet.” Guan Yu stopped Zhang Fei, “Don’t be heard by the people behind you.”
Liu Bei look at this, look at that: “Brothers, I will not hide from you two. I want to make achievements, I am afraid that I will be an enemy of Cao Gong. I will go east to defect. Tao Qian, we have been discussing with the Mi family for a long time. When the three of us left Xuzhou and went to Xuxian, it was for the late emperor. However, unfortunately, the late emperor died at a young age. If the Lord is re-used, there is no reason to stay here. The two brothers are different from me, and they are quite appreciated. If you want to stay in Yanzhou…”
“What did the eldest brother say?” Guan Yu interrupted him directly, “My eldest brother and I have the same blessings and sorrows. , why don’t you speak? You—”
Zhang Fei lowered his head: “The brothers are all gone, so of course I will go too. Just thinking of Xuzhou, compared to Xuxian, it is much ruined, and I feel a little emotional.”
Liu Bei sighed: “Cao Sheng’s ability in internal affairs is like a gift from heaven and cannot be pursued by manpower.”
“That’s it, let’s go.” Zhang Fei patted his ass, “I’ll write a farewell letter to my little apprentice when I get to Xuzhou.”
The sky was getting dark, and Liu Bei and his party were stationed in Fan County.
At the same time, Guo Jia was lamenting loudly in the tent: “How can the lord let Liu Bei go? This is like letting a tiger return to the mountain, and it will cause trouble later.”
Cao Cao was also remorseful when he said: “If it were only Liu Bei, I would naturally not let him go. But Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both earnestly begging…”
“My lord, since there has been a rift and forced people away. It is better to remove the scourge. If you are hesitant, who will recognize you? They will only think that this is a It’s just a chance to escape.” Guo Jiaqing’s thin body seemed to have some kind of unruly power, which suddenly burst out, making it hard to believe that he was usually just a lazy scribe.
“I’ll listen to you.” Cao Cao finally made up his mind. He said so, which is equivalent to abandoning Guan Yu. If Liu Bei was killed, Guan Yu would not die, but would also become an enemy.
“Fengxiao, I will give you the military amulet of Liu Bei’s army, you will take the military amulet and my handwriting, chase to the army, and order them to kill Liu Bei.”
