There is a saying that "a virgin who loses her integrity is worse than an old bustard who behaves well."
It implies that the world attaches great importance to a person's "late festival".
Yu Jin is a character in the Three Kingdoms of the Eastern Han Dynasty who was in danger of death in his later years. He is extremely tragic.
Everyone remembers the biggest failure in his life.
In the 219th year of Jian'an, in the Battle of Fancheng, seven armies were flooded, and the whole country of Cao Wei was shocked!
The huge waves rolled up the victor Guan Yu to the top of the clouds, which "shocked China".
However, Yu Jin was photographed heavily at the same time and fell into the endless abyss, never to be turned around again.
From then on, most people, including those who came later, have the most vivid and profound impression of Qin as a loser who was afraid of death and surrendered.
The glory of Yu Jin, who had been in the army for thirty years and led the troops alone without ever losing a battle, seemed to be in a historical chapter at the other end.
Deyi Yu often visited Bianhu in his previous life, and Wang Zheng was one of the few.
He still remembers that post, which was a quantitative description of the ban.
In the biography of Wei generals in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Yu Jin's description is only shorter than that of Zhang Liao, and even exceeds that of Xia Houyuan, Cao Cao's most beloved general who conquered the west.
So since the beginning of time travel, this name has been remembered most deeply by him.
The uneasy omen that had been lingering since he saw the bamboo slip was finally confirmed. Although the pressure increased dramatically, Wang Zheng also completely let go of his psychological burden.
The sword is most frightening when it is unsheathed.
Now he no longer hesitates.
Now that Xiahou Dun has become Yu Jin, all previous plans must be overturned and re-planned.
Several blows that "broken the counselor's dream" actually aroused Wang Zheng's fighting spirit.
He shook his head, looked around at the crowd, illuminated the silk paper in his hand, and said with a smile: "Cao Cao dispatched a troop of soldiers and horses from Xuzhou to wipe out our bandits."
Hearing this, everyone had different expressions, and Wu Niu and the four others were all shocked.
Xu Fang's expression remained unchanged, while Wu Sheng looked even more excited.
"General, how many troops are there?" Xu Fang raised his eyebrows and asked solemnly: "Who is leading the troops?"
"According to the Mi family's information, there are five hundred cavalry and one thousand five hundred infantry." Wang Zheng smiled, "The leaders are the school captain Niugai and the captain Yu Jin."
After he told the number of soldiers and horses, everyone on the field breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Sheng even laughed and said: "Two unknown soldiers, and they only brought so many officers and soldiers."
With that said, he directly asked for orders and shouted with a fanatical look: "General, please let me take the Tianzhu Camp and the Tiangang Army and go directly to meet the enemy. I will definitely wipe out these officers and soldiers!"
Wang Zheng glanced at him angrily and didn't bother to answer.
Xu Fang thought for a while and asked with some doubts:
"Are these officers and soldiers transferred from Yanzhou or Qingzhou?"
Good question.
"Of course not." Wang Zheng glanced at him appreciatively and said:
"The troops stationed in Qingzhou are all Yellow Turban soldiers just like us. How dare Cao Cao send them because he is so afraid?"
"As for Yanzhou, our uprising has been going on for so many days. Yanzhou is not far from here. If we were to mobilize from Yanzhou, I'm afraid this unit would already be outside the county gate by now."
"That's not right!"
Xu Fang shook his head, looked at Wang Zheng, and explained to the others: "Since this team is not from Yanzhou and Qingzhou, it is Cao Cao's troops drawn from the troops attacking Xuzhou from the front."
"Since we are dispatched from the front, it is obvious that we want to pacify us in one fell swoop. We must be fast and ruthless, so as to hit the target with one blow!"
"Why send only this few troops?"
"Qingzhou is fine. If there are 1,500 troops, they can be drawn from the officers and soldiers stationed in Yanzhou. Why bother to go far away when you are close?"
At the end, Xu Fang made a decisive conclusion.
"General, this information from the Mi family cannot be trusted!"
"What Xu Fang said makes sense." Wang Zheng smiled, looked at Xu Fang and said, "But it doesn't matter. Except for the number of troops in this information, which is somewhat doubtful, the rest should be true."
Looking at Yu Jin's name on the silk paper, Wang Zheng's eyes turned cold:
"What's more, I already know what I need to know most."
"General, if you don't know the specific number of troops." Xu Fang asked again, "How should we respond?"
"It's nothing more than downgrading when troops come, and covering up with water and soil." Wang Zheng said calmly: "And the number of soldiers and horses in this army should not be too different from ours."
Wang Zheng was confident when he said this.
He already had some suspicions about what the Mi family would do.
It was simply because he was afraid that if he was informed of the true fighting strength of the invading Cao army, he would be forced to retreat and abandon the city.
Of course they didn't know that they had already made up their minds and this battle was bound to be fought.
Therefore, even if there is no source of intelligence, Wang Zheng can only deal with the worst case scenario.
The worst plan is only seven or eight thousand people. As for the generals, is there anyone more difficult to deal with than Yu Jin?
He already knew that Cao Cao was stretched thin in terms of military strength at this time.
You know, even in the Battle of Guandu a few years later, Cao Cao's troops were less than 100,000.
Based on this calculation, the total number of his troops at this time is probably no more than 40,000 to 50,000. When dealing with him, he still needs to eliminate those Qingzhou troops who may turn their guns.
"No matter what the enemy is, we just have to be ourselves."
"Generals, listen to your orders."
"Xu Fang, starting from tomorrow you will be responsible for recruiting migrant workers to build the city wall."
"Wu Sheng, you are responsible for recruiting soldiers."
"Wu Niu..."
Having said this, Wang Zheng paused, with a strange smile on his face: "You are responsible for my proclaiming myself emperor."
As soon as these words came out, the hall immediately became silent.
Everyone was dumbfounded and looked at each other in surprise. They all looked like they wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.
General Tiangong wants to proclaim himself emperor?
This... always feels weird.
"The general is destined to be the emperor, and he should ascend to the emperor's throne, but at this time..."
Xu Fang couldn't hold himself back again and gave advice: "Is it a bit inappropriate?"
"Haha, just do as I'm told." Wang Zheng smiled, but said no more.
Whether it is the Mi family or the invading Cao army, probably what they want to see most is for him to lead this group of heavenly troops to defend Zhao County and not want to leave.
He was going to do exactly what they wanted.
Building the city wall is a clear message to all those who are hostile, come on, I will definitely not run away.
As for the foolish thing of proclaiming himself emperor after occupying a county, I really want everyone to know that this Tiangong general is an extremely arrogant and ignorant idiot.
He just hoped that Yu Jin could think like this.
Wu Niu touched his head and said naively: "General, what should I do?"
If a general wants to be emperor, he will naturally support it absolutely.
But Wu Niu didn't know how to go about proclaiming himself emperor.
He knew that the current emperor of the Han Dynasty used gold poles. Should he go and make some gold poles for the general?
Wang Zheng waved his hand: "You can do whatever you want. I only have one request."
He looked at Wu Niu and said with a smile: "The movement must be loud enough that everyone knows about it!"
After that, he ignored the confused Wu Niu and turned to Kaohsiung again:
"I asked you to keep a close eye on the surrounding areas of Zhao County, do a good job in preventing the county town, and not allow people to enter or leave. You did a good job."
Kaohsiung saluted quickly and was about to say a few words of humility when Wang Zheng directly interrupted his subsequent speech:
"Then things will be different."
"You can relax the city gate defense these days and leave a gap so that everyone except the Mi family can leave the city."
Staring at Kaohsiung, Wang Zheng said word by word:
