Chapter 187: Xiangyang Falls!


"Who is it" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, and looked at Cao Ren's expression as if he was smiling.

Cao Ren didn't dare to look directly at Cao Cao, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Fubo General Xiahoudun" Xiahoudun The smile on Cao Cao's face retracted, and there was neither anger nor approval on his face.

"What do you think?"

Cao Cao turned his gaze to the Wenchen generals in the field, and his eyes were especially focused on a group of strategists.

"This, this minister thinks that General Xiahoudun is brave and unmatched, but after all, he is newly defeated, so let's choose someone else."

Choose someone else Cao Ren frowned, and the whole person was out of the way.

"Lord, although General Fubo is newly defeated, but in the battle of lightning, General Fubo is the best at it, and please accept General Fubo as the vanguard" Da-da-da-da Cao Cao's index finger tapped on the huge case, making a noisy sound, but his eyes stared at Cao Ren intently, this look included a lot of emotions, including appreciation, disappointment, and reprimand.

The lobby suddenly fell into a brief silence, and dense sweat began to rise on Cao Ren's forehead, and the sweat droplets were squeezed together, and his face was like scabies blisters one after another, which were ugly.

"Appoint General Fubo as the vanguard" Cao Cao repeated a sentence from Cao Ren's mouth, and then said: "Zixiao doesn't believe me" Hearing Cao Cao's words, how dare Cao Ren continue to speak, honestly pressed his head on the ground, at this moment, Cao Ren forgot the pain in his buttocks, and some were just panic, and a touch of joy that could not be erased.

Cao Cao said "You don't believe me" has two meanings, one is that you Cao Ren has been with me Cao Cao for so long, and you still don't know who I am, or I don't know what you think in your heart, and the other is to imply to Cao Ren: Although Xiahoudun made a big mistake, I will not really deal with him by military law.

After receiving Cao Cao's answer, Cao Cao Cao Ren put his heart back in his stomach.

Xiahoudun is a relative of him, and he is a robe who has been on the battlefield for many years, and a person who drinks together during the New Year's holidays, how could he not speak for him And since Xiahoudun is fine, he is embarrassed to continue, and on the other hand, the reason why Cao Cao did not let Xiahoudun fight, the first is naturally because Xiahoudun lost two games in a row, and under the annoyance and anger, he may do something out of the ordinary, in this case, Xiahoudun let him serve as a pioneer, this is not for his good, but for him.

This second, naturally, because of the military spirit, Xiahoudun has been defeated in a row, if he can still serve as a vanguard, what will those generals think in their hearts The lord does not need to be virtuous, then I Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao are different Therefore, this is the most direct reason why Cao Cao did not let Xiahoudun fight.

"Ladies and gentlemen, who are you willing to be pioneers?"

The people who can stay in the lobby are basically generals above the eighth grade, whether they are miscellaneous generals or titled generals, they are all fierce generals with a hundred, and it is more than enough to be a pioneer.

As soon as Cao Cao said this, several armored generals in the hall glanced at each other, and a huge figure immediately ran out.

"Lord, Xu Huang is willing to be a pioneer" Xu Huang, the word Gongming, was a native of Yang, Hedong {now southeast of Hongdong, Shanxi).

A famous general of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period.

Yang Feng was defeated by Cao Cao and switched to Cao Cao, and made many meritorious contributions under Cao Cao, participating in several major battles such as Guandu, Chibi, Guanzhong Expedition, and Hanzhong Expedition.

As soon as Xu Huang came out, the other person was not willing to get up, he was thin, but within his thin body, it seemed to contain overwhelming power, not Li Dian, who was it Cao Cao smiled on his face, stared carefully into the eyes of the two, and nodded approvingly.

"Hahaha, I have a thousand fierce generals, why not be afraid of Sun Liu" Cao Cao stood up, walked in front of the two of them in person, and pulled Li Dian and Xu Huang up.

"Since the two generals are going to fight for the position of the vanguard, why don't we go out together, our army, send out two vanguard armies, Xu Huang" "The Last Will Be" "With you leading 20,000 troops, join the headquarters of General Dangkou, and go to Jiangxia first" "Li Dian" "The Last Will Be" "You lead 30,000 soldiers and horses from your headquarters, gather the soldiers and horses of Xiahou and Xiangyang, and take Jiangling directly" "The last general commanded" Both knelt under Cao Cao.

"Okay, now that the general strategy has been formulated, let's move the army first."

Move the army Xun You raised his eyebrows and asked, "Move the army to Fancheng" Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Move the army to Xiangyang" Xiangyang is Jingzhou, you can go to the north to the place of Yongliang Division, to the south is Jiaozhou and Yangzhou, in this southern expedition, the strategic position of Xiangyang is to make good use of it.

Early the next morning.

Cao Cao's huge chariot had reached the outside of Xiangyang City, Xiangyang City was like a sleeping giant, standing quietly in the land of Jingchu, the city wall, and the mottled blood stains on the ground tell us that the war a few days ago was raging.

Cao Cao frowned, looking at Xiangyang City, which was already in his eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief call This Liu Xuande, see if I don't clean you up The distance between Wancheng and Xiangyang is not far, and it will arrive in an hour or two, but having said that, Cao Cao has been on this road all night.

Cao Cao sat on top of the car, it was considered hard, not to mention those who walked on two legs The most direct evidence is that the three white horses that Cao Cao pulled the cart have all turned into yellow horses at this moment, and the black armor of the soldiers has turned yellow at this moment.

One leg deep in water, half a leg deep in mud Anyone who has been to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River knows that the soil in that place is very fertile, and likewise, it is also very sticky As soon as you step down, a pound of mud will stick to the soles of your shoes, like maggots on tarsal bones, difficult to peel off The center is sour, Cao Cao doesn't want to recall, fortunately, Xiangyang has arrived, under the opening of the north gate, a group of people have been waiting here for a long time, standing in front of everyone is a twelve or thirteen-year-old son, he is dressed in brocade clothes, age teeth and teeth, good looks, naturally Liu Cong.

Liu Cong was holding a copper plate in his hand, and on top of the copper plate was a small seal.

State Pastoral Seal Cao Cao got out of the car with Xu Zhu's support, and walked straight to Liu Cong, looking at Liu Cong thoughtfully.

As soon as Cao Cao came, Cai Mao, who was standing behind Liu Cong, hurriedly touched Liu Cong, and the latter suddenly realized that he knelt under Cao Cao.

"Jingzhou Mu Liu Cong, specially come to dedicate the city and the prime minister" Cao Cao took the seal with a smile, and after encouraging Liu Cong a few words, he actually hugged Liu Cong directly, this scene was a little meaningful in the eyes of Cai Mao and Lu Yue.

Cai Mao glanced at each other, both of them saw each other's joy.

Isn't the prime minister's move like this a signal to our other generals?

I, Cao Cao, will treat Liu Cong as usual and treat you well How does this not make Cai Mao more and more happy.

It seems that the position of marquis that he asked for is not impossible to get:
