Chapter 346: The Poisoner's Scheme Time flies, and soon it is the eighth year of Jian'an, that is, 202 AD.
In the spring of this year, Cao Cao, the Duke of Lu, coincided with the forty-eighth birthday of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao held a banquet to celebrate the civil and military affairs in Xudu.
The river bank is a three-story platform five or six meters high, and there is a wide staircase to the top of the high platform due to the west.
The high platform was surrounded by guards in armor and halberds, and it appeared that it was heavily guarded.
Cao Cao on the back of a yellow flying horse, wearing a golden crown inlaid with pearls, wearing a green brocade robe, jade belt and beads, sitting with a height, Cheng Yu, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan and other major civil and military forces stood on both sides, while Dian Wei and Xu Chu held a halberd and a knife, standing behind him like two door gods.
Among the crowd, the most conspicuous thing was a white fat scribe in a red robe, who was already in his fifties, leaning on Cao Cao's proximity, chatting and laughing with Cao Cao while chatting and chatting lightly with other civil and military officers, and seemed very active.
This person is the new Cao Cao Jia Xu, the real poisoner in the history of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, Li Dao and Guo Yan and others have already fled, the Han family has just recovered a little vitality and majesty, but this person provoked and instigated Li Dao and Guo Yan to lead the Xiliang people to rebel, and once again broke through Chang'an, which opened the history of Liu Xie's suffering for several years of abuse, and the princes of the world were originally still hiding and still in the enlightenment stage of separation, and after the rebellion of Li Dao and Guo Yan, the world was really in chaos, and the heroes rose together.
And his most proud classic work that established the name of the poisoner was in the battle of Wancheng, killing Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang, nephew Cao Anmin and the first fierce general Dian Wei, as well as the Shadow Hero, and Cao Cao almost died, of course, due to the birth of Gongsun Bai, Cao Cao did not take action against the south for a long time, and the battle of Wancheng did not happen.
One sentence can kill tens of millions of lives, and another sentence can make Cao Cao, the first prince of the Three Kingdoms in history, lose half of his life, which is indeed worthy of the name of the poisoner, and has the reputation of being a last resort, and its intelligence value is as high as 98, which is among the top five in the entire late Han Dynasty.
There are three kinds of strategists: seeking oneself, seeking others, and seeking the world.
Jia Xu is too undisciplined, self-seeking is the first priority, as long as he is good, he can come up with any ruthless poisonous schemes, and he has never been liked by Gongsun Bai, otherwise this person has been guarding Zhang Xiu in Wancheng, so he has to send someone to recruit him.
However, after Cao Cao got Jia Xu, he was like a treasure, and because he was in love with Cheng Yu, who had used human flesh as dry food in history, he was highly respected by Cheng Yu, so that Jia Xu was worshiped as the ruling Jinwu as soon as he voted for Cao Cao, sealed the capital pavilion marquis, stayed in the Sikong military, and became a celebrity under Cao Cao.
It stands to reason that such a rebel general who has just joined the army will be in a high position as soon as he comes, and he should be rejected by the talented Cao Cao's subordinates, but Jia Xu is not, he only spent half a month to make friends with everyone, so that the general civil and military people regard him as their own, and rarely exclude him, which shows his ability to seek his own power.
The banquet officially began, and everyone raised their wines to congratulate Cao Cao, and the atmosphere on the high platform was very warm for a while.
After the three rounds of drinking, the drums and horns sounded on the high platform, and the military parade, an important program of the banquet, officially began.
A piece of dust slowly rose in the distance, all the way the infantry slowly came out of the column from the left, like a long snake winding out, carefully look at the past these infantry are extremely burly, broad shoulders and round waist, extremely fierce expression, quite a dragon and tiger posture, all dressed in iron armor, holding a long sword in the right hand, holding a shield in the left hand, murderous, monstrous fighting spirit, this is the Tiger Guard led by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, it is said to be the strongest infantry under Cao Cao, when attacking the enemy army, such as a tiger descending the mountain, extremely fast, many times in history to save Cao Cao in danger, There is also a way in Xu Chu's biography, "At the beginning, Chu will be a tiger warrior from the conquest, Taizu Cao Cao thought that they were all strong men, and worshiped as a general on the same day, and then dozens of generals and marquis were named in the name of merit, and more than 100 captains and school captains were all swordsmen. ” Immediately afterwards, the sound of horses' hooves sounded like thunder in the audience Eight thousand elite horsemen came in a surge, all dressed in dark leather armor, hanging a big yellow crossbow from their waists like a white horse, holding a long steel knife in their hands, and riding a fine Xiliang horse.
Their horses are not as uniform and white as the white horse Yicong, but each of them is a fine breed of Xiliang horse, and although the neatness and brisk sound of the hooves are slightly inferior to the white horse Yicong's war horses that are more than eight feet high, they are not under the ink cloud ride.
When everyone was still shocked by this glorious riding shadow, suddenly all the tiger and leopard cavalry untied their big yellow crossbows one after another, raised them high, and there were no arrows on their crossbow arms, simulating galloping and shooting.
But looking at their skillful aiming movements, you will feel that if you really shoot a sharp arrow, it must be a good example.
The bows were all five-stone rhubarb crossbows, and once they hit two or three layers of leather armor, they couldn't stop it.
The knights on the horses, who hung up their yellow crossbows and raised their steel swords, sprinted with their swords dazzling in the sunlight.
A row of 100 men, a total of 20 rows, leaving a large gap between each column to allow some of the enemy to be left behind for cavalry to attack.
The car hangs in the array, the crushing attack, and the ordinary infantry is crushed with one blow even if the number of people is several times higher under the attack of this rolling iron stream.
Tiger and leopard cavalry, Cao Cao's invincible tiger and leopard cavalry across the Central Plains, it was this invincible cavalry that destroyed Lu Bu's Xuzhou army, especially in the battle against Taishan thieves, so that 30,000 Taishan thieves rushed to collapse, so that Lu Bu was defeated all the way, but he was trapped and died in Xiapi in half a year.
This tiger and leopard ride can be said to have been trained by Cao Cao with great blood.
The long knives in their hands were actually steel-filled knives, which were made of steel-filled farm tools that Cao Cao bought from Jizhou in every possible way, and then let the blacksmith return to the furnace to make them; The good horses of more than seven feet five under their crotch were all purchased by Cao Cao from Xiliang for a lot of money; And those big yellow crossbows are refined by skilled craftsmen from several states in the Central Plains.
Further back, the Qingzhou soldiers led by Xiahoudun and the Yanzhou soldiers who started earlier were also orderly, energetic, and very strong.
A team of soldiers and horses passed under the stage, and the sea of armor made Cao Cao complacent, laughing, and his pride increased sharply.
Cao Cao suddenly raised his head, looked at Jia Xu who was not far away, and said with a smile: "Wenhe, how do you look at my soldiers and horses?"
Jia Xu said with a smile: "The soldiers and horses of Duke Lu are extremely majestic, and Jia Xu has watched the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and they are all inferior." ” Cao Cao looked slightly drunk, and asked with a smile: "Liu Biao and Sun Ce, they are all busy, don't mention it, how is Gongguan compared to Gongsun Xiao'er?"
Jia Xu looked slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "The chief of the lower officials lives in Xiliang and the south, and has never seen the soldiers and horses in the north, but I heard that Gongsun Bai has 30,000 elite cavalry, and the tiger and leopard cavalry are only 8,000, I am afraid that it is a little inferior, and Cao Gong has 300,000 infantry, and Gongsun Bai is only 100,000, this is Cao Gong's advantage. ” Cao Cao's expression changed slightly, and then he laughed and said: "Wen He is really an upright person, but he is also happy, but Cao has hated that grandson for a long time, and he can't wait to go north to unify the land north of the river for my lord, and by the way, report the humiliation of the past, what do you think?"
His last sentence was asked by the civil and military officials around him, and everyone looked at each other, but no one answered.
Because everyone knows that the person in the north is definitely a tough tiger, and if he is not careful, he may be bitten to a blur of flesh and blood or even killed, referring to the Badaling Park to get off the bus, and what is even more terrifying is that he has not tasted defeat since his debut, and no one dares to express his opinion easily.
Cao Cao drunk, see that everyone is silent, do not feel angry, when Gongsun Bai only led five hundred white horses to follow, light horses and whips into Xudu, repeatedly suppressed him, but also canceled his "sword on the temple, praise and worship" privilege in public, for many years, he has been in the arms, now he has sat in the Central Plains five states of the plastered land, under the command of thousands of clouds, thousands of horses like rain, has long wanted to wave the army to the north, unified the land of Hebei, now see the command of the military do not answer, naturally is angry.
Suddenly, I heard Jia Xu laugh and said: "The lord and Gongsun Bai, the victory or defeat is in the number of five or five, and the lower officials have a plan, maybe they may break this equilibrium, so the Northern Expedition, the odds of victory may be much higher." ” When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately turned his anger into joy, and asked with a smile: "I wish Wenwen and his high opinion." ” Jia Xu picked up the wine bottle on the desk, took a sip gently, and said: "Although Gongsun Bai's strength is comparable to that of the lord, and then the victory or defeat of the battle is not all determined by strength. ” Cao Cao's heart moved, and he asked, "Which three treasures?"
Jia Xu said: "The first treasure is Gongsun Bai himself, this person has a rare demon once in a thousand years, proficient in demon arts, can instantly conjure up combat equipment, and repeatedly surprises the soldiers, so that the warring opponent is caught off guard and enters its box, and it is good at making armor, although Cao Gong gathers the skilled craftsmen in the land of the five states to refine the armor, but it is still not as good as it, if you can go to it, the soldiers of the natural north are scattered as birds and beasts, and they will no longer be troubled; The second treasure is the cavalry of the Northland, as if the white horse is righteous, it is good at riding and shooting, coming and going like the wind, the ability to charge into battle, there is no one else, over the years, Gongsun Bai crisscrossed the North, swept the heroes, the foot soldiers are just for the auxiliary, so the Northland Cavalry is another treasure of the Gongsun clan; The third treasure is Guo Jiaye" Cao Cao and the generals around him were all moved, and exclaimed: "Guo Jia" Jia Xu nodded and said: "Guo Jia's wisdom is even more mysterious than that of ghosts and demons.
When Gongsun Bai was fighting, every time he encountered difficulties, he relied on Guo Jia and forced him to come up with a solution, but Guo Jia repeatedly fulfilled his mission and was full of wisdom, so that Gongsun Bai was able to crisscross the north and have no disadvantages.
As Xia Guan said just now, Cao Gong and Gongsun Bai are equal in strength, but they can only see the difference when they are engaged on the spot, and if Guo Jia's ability to adapt on the spot, there is no one in the world who is unsurpassed.
There is no shortage of strategists around Gongsun Bai, but the generations of Frustration, Tian Feng, and Tian Yu can only seek strength, not war, and those who seek war are only Guo Jiaye."
Cao Cao's wine woke up, and he saw that there were confidants on the left and right, and motioned for Jia Xu to come closer, and then asked in a low voice: "Mo Feiwenhe wants this official to get rid of Guo Jia and cut off Sun Bai's arm."
Jia Xu also lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Gongsun Bai is the lord of the northern land, naturally guarding Sen Ran, and his martial arts are strong, and he is proficient in witchcraft, even if he is alone, he may not be able to get rid of it, if you want to kill Gongsun Bai, it is even more difficult; The cavalry of the Northland, needless to say, can be removed by non-horsemen; And Guo Jia is an invisible prodigal son, dissolute and uninhibited, good at wine and good Fengyue, especially when entering and leaving the land of Fengyue, there will not be too many guards around him, and only a swordsman with excellent martial arts skills can be removed. ” Cao Cao laughed, his heart was very happy, and he immediately raised the bottle and said with a smile: "This real poisonous plan is also unfinished
