"Datong, don't worry about things in the army. I respect the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, but I also know that war is only about food, fodder, and soldiers. How can there be so many taboos?"
"This vanguard position naturally belongs to you, General Zhengdong. It's just that we get it and Dongjun can't wait. Datong will first train in Xuchang for ten days and then catch up with the army at Kuai Ma!"
"I will choose one more person to lead the troops north and take charge of Datong's army for the time being!"
Cao Cao's gentle words of comfort attracted Xun Yu and others who gathered around to show concern and mainly watch the excitement. They all felt sad in their hearts.
In the crowd, Hua Xin felt very sad when he thought that the straightforward young general in Kuaiji had died that day.
Thinking of Jiangdong's courtesy, he went to Fang Guang's mansion a few days ago and brought gifts from thousands of miles away, and the courtesy of Fang Guang's family, Hua Xin's heart suddenly flashed with enlightenment.
"My lord, Fang Sinong, I am going to Jiangdong this time, and I have received great care from Bo Fu. This time in Datong, due to bad news, I cannot lead the army for the time being!"
"I, Hua Xin, would like to take up a temporary military position and supervise the army's arrival in Dongjun to avoid surprise attacks by Yuan's army. My lord, do you think I can take on this position?"
When Emperor Xian entered Xuchang, Cao Cao enfeoffed all the scholars. Hua Xin, a famous scholar today, was known as the leader, and he became the Honglu Cheng of the Honglu Temple lineage.
There is no official guard at Honglu Temple, so Honglu Cheng is the first official in charge of Cao Cao's lineage and the first official to negotiate with other princes.
It sounds a bit abrupt for someone in charge of diplomacy to lead troops, but both Cao Cao and Fang Guang understood Hua Ziyu's intentions.
Fang Guang and Xun Yu's faction are not from the same group. Guo Jia and Cheng Yu are with Cao Cao and cannot leave for the time being.
Fang Guang's camp really lacks a scholar who has some cards and can control the situation.
Although Hua Xin met Fang Guang for the first time, the scene was not very harmonious, but he was not a selfish person. After a period of time, not only did his relationship with Fang Guang relax greatly, but they even began to appreciate each other implicitly.
Honglu Cheng temporarily takes the lead, which can be said to be the most reasonable among the unreasonable.
Sure enough, when Fang Guang saw Cao Cao's eyes sweeping over him, he knew that he might have to take a forced rest for a few days.
"My lord, if Mr. Hua is the pioneer, I will be very relieved!"
"General of the army, Zilong Zhongzheng, Gan Ning wildly, Qu Yi Shen Yi, I hope Duke Hua will take good care of these people!"
Fang Guang trusted Hua Xin so much that Honglu Si Cheng couldn't help but nodded to him, indicating that he knew what he was thinking.
Cao Cao patted Fang Guang's hand, and the matter was naturally settled. Seeing that Fang Guang was so tired that he could hardly open his eyes, he called Guo Jia and ordered Xu Chu to personally lead a group of tiger and leopard riders to escort Fang Guang back first.
Mansion.
Under the high platform, there was a sudden chaos. At this time, the person in the best mood in Xuchang City was probably Da Er.
Liu Xuande looked at the sky and felt that his heavenly path had arrived.
First he had a drink with Cao Cao and talked about heroes, and now Fang Guang fainted before the victory was achieved.
If there weren't too many people under the high platform, Liu Bei would have wanted to sing a Hebei Bangzi at the top of his voice.
Behind Big Er, Zhang Fei murmured to himself, wishing he could curse Fang Guang to death.
Guan Yu gently stroked his beard, and with a determined look on his face, he leaned behind his elder brother and spoke slowly.
"Brother, those who do unrighteousness will be punished by their own death. These words are indeed true. Fang Datong thought that he had made great contributions to Cao Cao by befriending Jiangdong heroes, but he didn't expect that the law of heaven would not help him!"
"That's it, Yun Chang, be careful. I think this time, maybe my old enemy Zhao Yun will fall into my hands. Zilong knows that I have too many things to do! Things to do by the Huai River in the meantime can be done.
Do it again!”
Liu Bei felt that he might be the vanguard for this northern expedition. He clenched his fists and looked at the anxious white-robed young man in the distance with murderous intent in his eyes.
Guan Yu looked at Xu Chu who was carrying Fang Guang on his back, his eyes fixed!
"Brother, I think this boy may not be able to get up this time. In the future, I don't know who will hold the position of General Zhengdong and Si Nong! My eldest brother should be a man with both civil and military skills in the world!"
The second brother Guan's heart of darkness was bursting. He wanted to mutter something, but he saw Xu Chu and escorted Fang Guang out of here!
The then Sikong Cao Mengde, with a serious face, returned to the high platform and personally ordered Hua Xin, the chief minister of Honglu Temple, to be the deputy vanguard of the army marching to the north and temporarily take the lead.
Liu Bei was disappointed for a while and couldn't figure out why Hua Xin could hold this position without any leadership experience!
Big Er bit his lip and looked at Hua Ziyu, who was wearing a high crown and carrying a weak manner, and took the seal left by Fang Guang. The black and gray color in his eyes flashed away!
Liu Bei waved and called his younger brother, whose eyes were about to sparkle, to his side.
"Yun Chang, Yide, and Hua Xin, I know, he is a famous person from a famous family. It is a God-given opportunity to lead the army this time!"
"Fang Guang is not here. If you want to take the throne in front of your lord, you must seize military glory. Hua Ziyu doesn't know how to fight, so he promised on the surface that when facing battle, just look at my eyes and act!"
"Young men of high sects, empty talk is fine. Fighting, hum. If Fang Guang is not in the army for a day, I can play with you for a day!"
Big Er was able to come to power at the end of the Han Dynasty. In addition to his unparalleled emotional intelligence, Big Er was extremely familiar with the tricks of the old military leader.
Despite the change, when the auspicious time came, Cao Jun still slowly moved north.
An army of 10,000 was the vanguard, together with the troops from Dongjun, to attack Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
Hua Xin originally thought that the march would be slower. As long as Yuan Jun could not reach the Yellow River, he would slowly wait for Fang Guang to recover and return to the army.
He didn't expect that Zhao Yun, Qu Yi, Gan Ning, and even Xia Houen, who led hundreds of tiger and leopard cavalry, all obeyed orders. But Liu Bei was different. The three brothers had three thousand steps, and they got up at five o'clock every day, risking their lives to fight.
March north.
Hua Xin and Da'er talked several times, asking him to slow down the advance. Liu Bei only said that the military situation was very strong and could not be ignored in the slightest. He still went his own way and flew northward. Naturally, he would make a contribution before Fang Guang.
mean!
After all, Liu Bei was the Han Zuo General. In this army, only he and Hua Xin had similar official positions. Although Xia Houen was favored by Cao Cao, he did not have a civilian position.
Even though Hua Xin was talented, he couldn't handle matters in the military as clearly as this clan veteran. Unknowingly, he had also fallen into the trap of Big Er.
Of course, no matter what Da'er did, he would not dare to go to Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, and Qu Yi's army to issue orders. All military orders were issued through Hua Xin.
In such a hurry and slowly, within ten days, the army saw the city wall of Dongjun County.
When Zhang Fei saw the cold light on the bed crossbow at the head of the city, a blood-red color flashed in his eyes. Half a year ago, he suffered a bloody head injury here. Now, the tragic situation that day often appears in his third brother's dreams.
Seeing the arrival of the army, the gate of Dongjun City slowly opened, and a brave general, high-spirited and high-spirited, led hundreds of troops and came forward like an arrow.
This was naturally Taishi Ci who had learned that Cao Jun was coming from the north. Taishi Ci had been at the foot of Mount Tai for a long time and joined forces with Zang Ba to plunder the south of Qingzhou and control the richest prefectures and counties in the world.
At this time, among the generals around Fang Guang, the one who was most swollen and had the most Jiama tribe was none other than Taishi Ci!
The general of Dongjun saw Gan Ning from a distance, and was about to step forward to reminisce. He glanced at the man with big ears and long arms beside Cao Jun's formation, and then looked at Guan Yu, who was holding a long sword and full of strength. In Ziyi's eyes,
