Chapter three hundred and eighty third like-minded
Tian Chou was once engaged by Liu Yu in his early years. After Liu Yu was killed, he lived in seclusion forever.
The soldiers drank hot water and ate food, and their physical fatigue was dispelled a lot.
Cao Cao and Lu Yan were both wearing scholar's shirts lent to them by Tian Chou.
However, no matter how you look at it, the bearded Cao Cao looks awkward when paired with the scholar's shirt.
But no one laughed at Cao Cao. After all, he didn't pay much attention to his external image, and Tian Chou had long heard of Cao Cao's informal behavior.
"Zitai, did you already know that we were going to pass through Wu Ending City, so you were waiting for us there?" Cao Cao asked Tian Chou while eating the constitution pill given to him by Lu Yan as peanuts.
Tian Chou glanced at the fragrant elixir that Cao Cao was pouring out like beans from a porcelain vase, and replied: "A few months ago, the Wuhuan people passed through Wuzhong County in high spirits, heading towards the hinterland of Youzhou; but
A few days ago, they were like a group of bereaved dogs, fleeing through Wuzhong County towards the outside of the pass.
When Tian saw this, he guessed that Prime Minister Cao's army had arrived and gave them a good beating."
Cao Cao nodded, thinking that this person's information and judgment skills were indeed excellent.
At this point, Tian Chou suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha! It's so satisfying to see them in such a mess! These Wuhuan people always plunder our Youzhou border, and we all wish we could destroy them earlier!"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he thought to himself: "It seems that this is also a master who hates foreign races to the core! My friend! No wonder he would take the initiative to surrender!"
They talked a lot about the Wuhuan people and their ideas for governing the place.
Cao Cao finally determined that Tian Chou was a rare talent!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Tian Chou's hand and said: "Zitai is a great talent. It's because of me that he can take the initiative to join the army... In this way, after the Wuhuan people are wiped out in this battle, Zitai can do whatever he wants."
I'm going to Yecheng, Jizhou is lacking someone who can do things like you!"
"Huh?" Tian Chou was slightly stunned by Cao Cao's sudden move.
It wasn't because Cao Cao held his hand. In ancient times, walking hand in hand was a way of expressing intimacy, and it was not limited to the relationship between men and women.
The reason why Tian Chou was stunned was, "I just wanted to lead the way, why did I suddenly become a servant???"
However, judging from the conversation just now, Cao Cao is a rare heroic leader; what is even more rare is that their attitudes towards the common people and foreigners are very close, and they can be regarded as like-minded Taoist friends.
With his mind spinning, Tian Chou finally made a decision and said: "Thanks to the Prime Minister for never giving up, Chou is willing to work hard for the Prime Minister!"
"Great! Great! Hahaha!" Cao Cao got Tian Chou's personal agreement and started dancing with joy.
Lu Yan carefully avoided Cao Cao's big hands and feet, and then said to Tian Chou: "Our army wants to surprise Liucheng... But although we know that there is a feasible route through Bailang Mountain, we don't know
What should be done specifically?”
Hearing this, Tian Chou nodded and said: "There is indeed a path from here to Bailang Mountain. After passing Bailang Mountain, you can go directly to Liucheng. It's just that you need to trek through mountains and rivers before reaching Bailang Mountain, which is a bit difficult. But if
If you take that road, you can avoid the heavy rain in summer."
After thinking for a while, Tian Chou continued: "Under Binhai Bay, the road is always blocked during the rainy season, making it impossible to march... It was because my subordinates were worried that the lord would march from Binhai Road that they took the initiative to go to Wu Ending City with the intention of marching.
The lord pointed out another trail...who would have thought that the lord and Lu Qiaoqi actually knew the existence of that trail in advance!"
"It was Mr. Lu who said that there is a trail that leads directly to Bailang Mountain and Wuhuanliu City." Cao Cao pointed at Lu Yan and said, "It is indeed as Badai said, there are few things in the world that Mr. Lu doesn't know."
After Lao Cao finished speaking, he threw another constitution pill into his mouth and started chewing it.
"I admire you!" Tian Chou bowed to Lu Yan and then continued: "My lord, you must be very quick with your troops on this trip, because once it is delayed until winter, the soldiers will definitely be extremely affected by freezing and hunger. Don't talk about massacres by then.
If Wuhuan is destroyed, it may be difficult to escape unscathed."
"This is exactly what we are worried about, so we hope Zitai can point us to the path."
"It's easy to say. Tomorrow I will go on the road with my lord and Lu Qiao. I am very familiar with that road. I hope that one day I can use it to destroy the Wuhuan people! I believe that by then we will be able to successfully pass the Bailang Mountain raid.
Liucheng!”
"Great!" Cao Cao sighed again: "If Wuhuan can be successfully pacified this time, Zitai will definitely take the lead!"
Tian Chou immediately waved his hands, "My subordinates are just leading the way, how dare you have the audacity to take the lead!"
...
The next day, early morning.
The sky has cleared up.
The rainstorm came hard and went away quickly.
But as Tian Chou said, the Binhai Road road had already turned into a quagmire in the heavy rain, making it impossible to march.
When Xun You and Xu Chu came here with the order to defeat the suspected soldiers, Xun You even said happily: "Fortunately, Changsheng persuaded the lord to take another road. If they marched from this road, the army would have to go back the same way!"
"
Xu Chu was still unhappy and didn't listen to Xun You at all.
"I said Zhongkang, you were so lost along the way...what happened?"
Xu Chu sniffed, tilted his face, and ignored Xun You.
"Isn't it just because my lord brought Dian Wei but not you?" Xun You naturally saw the root of Xu Chu's unhappiness long ago.
Now that Xun You had exposed it, Xu Chu no longer hid it.
He said in an extremely aggrieved tone: "My Lord, I am responsible for taking care of you all day long. Why don't you want to take me with you this time? I don't accept it!"
"Bah!"
I thought Xun You would give me some relief, but unexpectedly, this guy gave me a slap...
Seeing Xu Chu looking at him in astonishment, Xun You explained to him sadly: "Do you know why the lord wants you to lead this suspicious army alone?"
"Uh...I don't know..." Xu Chu replied honestly.
"My lord, this is creating an opportunity for you to lead the army on your own!" Xun You's finger almost poked Xu Chu's face, "My lord has always regarded you as one of his most beloved generals... and cultivated you.
He hopes that one day you can become a general leading an army like Zilong and Wenyuan, instead of just being the leader of the bodyguards, do you understand?"
When Xu Chu heard this, he was stunned for a while, then took a deep breath and said: "I understand! Thank you sir for your advice!"
Xun You saw that Xu Chu was still teachable, so he put his hands behind his back and said, "Now that you understand, let me help my lord perform this scene well!"
"Here!" Xu Chu stood up, bowed and apologized: "The last general will live up to the expectations of the lord and the military advisor!"
