A torrential rain in Xiaoxia shrouded the Wei army in the north.
"Your Majesty, in the past few days, the news of your death has spread throughout the territory of Great Wei, and now the officials and people of all counties and counties are panicking, I am afraid that if Your Majesty has no time to clarify this matter within half a month, the people in Great Wei will be separated from Germany after all, and when the Eastern Wu army will attack, I am afraid that they will change their banners."
Cao Cao glanced at the full favor beside him, "O Berning, you are a person who knows the soldiers, and you have unique ways to govern the place, but I often only appoint one county to you, you know why."
Man Zhong was slightly stunned, and then raised his hand, "Weichen is stupid, please show your majesty." ” Cao Cao stared at the north and put his hands on the stove in the car, "You are also strong and soft, and you can be regarded as a good way to handle government affairs."
But in the event of a major event, you should have the heart to break the cauldron and sink the boat, otherwise, in the face of a stalemate between the two armies, you can only be trapped in a corner of the place, pressing for the enemy step by step. ” Full of favor sighed, "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers dare not decide, but my Great Wei has been in a stormy time, and now the Eastern Wu is powerful, sweeping the Guanzhong and Central Plains within three years, Sun Quan, Liu Bei, one was captured, the other was beheaded, if I go out to fight in Liaodong in vain, it is difficult to win, if I lose too much elite, I am afraid that the chairman of the Eastern Wu Army will drive straight in." ” "Berning, you think, how strong are the soldiers of Liaodong" "But it is the unique vision of Liu Qi, the king of Wu, the flat north, he has formed more elite cavalry, and Ma Chao and Zhang Liao are both good at riding generals, with these two people, if our army is divided, it will be cut off by Ma Chao and Zhang Liao."
"You said before, that Ma Chao and Zhang Liao each have 10,000 horsemen under their command, and they are followed by a large group of foot soldiers, and the city is besieged with cavalry, once the morale of the city is exhausted, and there is a shortage of food, grass and water, you can surrender by taking advantage of the situation."
"Exactly."
"Now that Zhang Liao's department has invaded Zhuo County, you can get out of Ji County, but there are other passages" "Back to the lord, there are Dongwu sailors patrolling along the coast, but our army has built a lot of beacon towers along the coast before, so I am returning from the coast."
"The sailor clipper, may be better than our army's foot soldiers" Full of favor muttered for a moment, "The new pawn is only afraid that he will not be able to win, if he concentrates our army's war horses and carts, I am afraid that he can pass quickly, but I am afraid that our army will arrive in Jixian County, and the Eastern Wu Army will also notice." ” Cao Cao unscrewed the lid of the stove with one hand, and stirred it with a wooden-handled shovel with the other.
"What do you think of Lu Xun?"
"Better than Lu Meng during the Battle of Jingzhou in the past."
Cao Cao bowed slightly, "Lu Meng can be said to have won Liu Qi's true biography, using soldiers to be right, and the methods of defeating the enemy are dignified, and Lu Xun is a person, every time there is a big battle, he can win by surprise, he previously joined the army with the Wu Wangfu with many generals of Eastern Wu, it can be said that they have learned their war to a full. ” "But this person is too young after all, and the generals under his command, led by Ma Chao and Zhang Liao, both of whom are not inferior to him in terms of wisdom and prestige, and this is also our army's fighter."
"Berning, I am physically and mentally tired, and I have to rely on you for this expedition."
As he spoke, Cao Cao handed him a book from under the soft collapse, "Liu Qi, King of Wu, there are many people I admire in my life, if I am given another one or two decades, I may be able to compete with him and stand side by side in the north and south."
Now that I am old, I can only leave this book of war that I have learned all my life and hand it to you, and you can keep it to great use. ” Full of pet's eyes moistened, "Your Majesty, how can the minister He De inherit His Majesty's art of war, this thing should be passed on to the children of the Cao family." ” "The prince has left a copy there, but he has been sitting on the court for a long time, and he can't reach the conquest, and in the battle of Liaodong in the past, he was defeated by Lu Xun, but he lost his mind."
"Your Majesty has been accumulating prestige for a long time, and even if the crown prince's talent is fifty percent of Your Majesty's, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stand out from Your Majesty."
Cao Cao smiled and pointed at him, "Boning, you can rule a state, if it weren't for the fact that most of the generals of the Great Wei were lost to the previous campaign, this position of commander of the three armies would not have been your turn." ” "Even now, Cheng Yu is better than you."
Man Zhong smiled bitterly, "Then how can Your Majesty let Weichen take on this heavy responsibility?"
"You don't have the talent to attack cities and plunder land, destroy the country and seize the land, but you have the ability to protect the territory and the people, and defend the land, this is where I believe in you."
The showers did not stop, and when they reached fifty miles outside Jixian County, Cao Cao had already lifted the curtain.
"Berning, what's the name here?"
"Back to my lord, this is a good country."
"Then I am here, waiting for your good news."
"But Your Majesty, you should move to Zhuoxian, the city wall here is low, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and this place is also under the attack and plundering of the Eastern Wu Iron Cavalry, if it is detected by the enemy, I am afraid" "It doesn't matter."
Cao Cao waved his hand, "I have been a horse for half my life, when I have been afraid of others, I will spend the night in this good township, do not erect the imperial flag, and do not send soldiers to swagger, he Lu Xun will definitely not notice, but if I move to Zhuo County, like the bright moon of the stars, I will definitely attract the siege of the Dongwu sailors, and then I will definitely be tied." ” Full Pet sighed, "Then I will leave the tiger and leopard behind." ” "The tiger and leopard ride is a weapon to break the game this time, if there is no tiger and leopard ride, you will definitely lose."
Full Pet pondered for a moment, "The method of riding tigers and leopards can be broken, and the Eastern Wu Army has mastered it." ” "It doesn't matter, Zhang Liao may respond with an iron horse, then Ma Mengqi, if you wait to charge the battle with a tiger and leopard horse, he will definitely fight back."
Saying that, Cao Cao ordered someone to take a flag from the outside, and looked at the word "horse" embroidered on it with wide eyes, "Your Majesty, this is the former Ma Teng battle flag, when it fell into the hands of Han Sui in the battle of Chen Liu, why is it here?"
"Han Sui crossed the river from the lower reaches of the Yellow River to the north, and now leads an army to guard the banks of the Yellow River, and this flag is his offering."
Man Zhong solemnly took the flag and handed it to the guard in front of the carriage to put it away, "Lord, the minister is gone." ” "The soldiers are fast, Bonin, you don't need to worry about me, even if I am really besieged by the Eastern Wu army, even if I am captured and killed by the Eastern Wu army, you don't have to go back to the division, go north, recover the lost territory, capture Liaodong, if you can win a big victory, or you can drive straight into the land of Eastern Wu Selangor and Hanzhou."
Man Zhong leaned down and kowtowed heavily, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, if you go, you will break Dongwu." ” "Good, good, good."
Cao Cao said three good words loudly, and watched 30,000 soldiers come out of the shrinking counties, ride a cart, and ride a war horse to the north.
Cao Cao suddenly lifted the curtain beside him, "Order, hang the imperial flag of me in Liangxiang." ” The eunuch trembled, and had to give it up, "No." ” Cao Cao sighed, "In my life, most of the time the art of war is a fight to the death with people, which can be said to be what Liu Qi'er said, put it to death and then live." ”:
