As soon as Cao Zhi entered the tent, he immediately ordered his troops to summon all the troops, regiments, and corps commanders currently in the army to gather in Cao Zhi's tent for urgent military affairs discussions.
Cao Zhi's idea is very simple. Whether this Sali dog had grievances against us in his previous life or in this life, it doesn't matter now. The important thing is that his Montenegrin army is about to attack the city, so he must quickly discuss countermeasures.
Now perhaps we should talk about discussing the battle plan.
That night, the lights in Cao Zhi's military tent were brightly lit, and people were bustling in and out until dawn. The military meeting this night was effective, and the battle plan was basically determined. At dawn, everyone
Regardless of rest, they went to their respective arrangements. Ren Hongchang did not go back to Cao Zhi's house to sleep as usual, but served Cao Zhi and others with tea and water, and stayed with them all night. At dawn, Cao Zhi saw Ren Hongchang working hard all night, and felt in his heart
Unable to bear it, he sent two guards to force her back.
After sending Ren Hongchang away, Cao Zhi led people to reconnoiter the terrain without stopping. Although he was also very tired, many matters could not be delayed.
Cao Zhi and his party quickly arrived at an unknown hill ten miles away from Cao's Mansion. This hill was not high, but it was the only way to Cao's Mansion. Everyone unanimously decided to place the first battlefield here. In addition,
The Guohe River beside the mountain can also be crossed to reach the Cao Mansion, but you have to take a detour to get to the ferry. Intelligence shows that the Black Mountain Army of the Sali Dogs did not bring the tools to cross the river. Besides, crossing the river with a large army is time-consuming, laborious and dangerous. It is estimated that the Sali Dogs will not be able to cross the river.
They would sacrifice the near for the far, leaving the direct dry road and taking the water route. But they had to be on guard, so there was a second battlefield, and that was Cao's Mansion.
Cao Ren was in charge of the Cao Mansion. He and Cao Cao had defeated the Yellow Turban bandits and had experience in command and combat. After he returned home after defeating the Yellow Turban bandits, he trained the servants in the house as soldiers when he had nothing to do. Therefore, he
All the servants in his family were able to do both tricks. After Cao Zhi learned about it, he handed over all the young men and servants in his family to Cao Ren. He then moved all the men and horses in his family over with Cao Hong. In this way, there are two
There were more than a hundred people, but Cao Zhi still thought that there were too few. This morning he invited Xia Houyuan to go to the county government office in Qiao County to talk to the county magistrate about the principle of "lips die and teeth become cold".
Cao Zhi led a group of people to the unknown hill, which is connected to Guandao in the south and Qiao County in the north. The locals only used it as a road, so they did not name the mountain. Cao Zhi led two captains
, several team leaders and the corps leader studied how to divide up their respective tasks after setting up defenses on the hilltop.
Cao Zhi led more than thirty people to set up traps and pits on the surrounding slopes to prevent the enemy from raiding. Last night, he and Xia Houyuan had formulated emergency response measures. At that time, Xia Houyuan could not help but nod in approval. From this day on
From then on, Cao Zhi arranged for soldiers to take turns on duty on the mountain roads and tops of this hill.
Cao Zhi was busy until the afternoon, when he returned to the camp to rest.
As soon as he entered the tent, he saw that Ren Hongchang had arrived and was dozing off on his bed. He woke up when he heard some movement. Ren Hongchang, who had become more beautiful and charming after being nourished by love, had just woken up and was stroking his hair in a charming way.
Wan Zhong. When Ren Hongchang was about to change clothes for Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi stopped him and said, "You should take a break! I'll sleep like this, and I won't bother you if I change."
Ren Hongchang ignored Cao Zhi, but still stubbornly unbuttoned Cao Zhi's clothes, helped Cao Zhi change into a light robe, and then fetched water for Cao Zhi to wash up. Cao Zhi watched Ren Hongchang busy for her, and a warmth suddenly rose in his heart.
meaning.
Busyness always makes time fly by, and more than ten days have passed by in a blink of an eye. Le Jin has sent two groups of scouts back to report on the movements of the Sali Dogs and the Black Mountain Army. Their marching route is basically consistent with what Cao Zhi and the others imagined. Cao Zhi also sent
Two groups of detectives were sent to contact Le Jin and inform them of their battle plan and contact information.
On this day, Cao Zhi stood on the top of the mountain, blowing in the cool breeze, feeling a little complacent. After these days of intensive arrangements, the mountain roads, the top of the mountain, and the Cao Mansion were basically ready, just waiting for the arrival of the Black Mountain Army.
In the evening, a message from Le Jin's third group of scouts was received. Shari Dog's Black Mountain Army was approaching the border of Qiao County. At the same time, Cao Zhi's expedition horses reported the same information. Cao Zhi immediately ordered the entire army to take up positions tonight and arrive at their respective positions.
After the defense line, seize the time to rest. It is not yet known whether the Sali Dogs will camp for one night or attack overnight. Before confirming their deployment, there is no need to waste energy on them. Cao Zhi wants his troops to fully prepare
Come and wait for work.
In a forest about three miles away from Cao's mansion, there were more than a dozen carriages parked. On board were Cao Song's family and Ren Hongchang. This was Cao Zhi's arrangement. Cao Zhi asked Cao An to bring several old servants such as Tiger Guards and Uncle Fu.
, to protect Cao Song and his family and move out of Cao Mansion. This was just in case. Cao Zhi’s order to Cao An was: once the incident failed, let him not care about anything else, take his family straight to Chenliu, and defect to Cao Cao.
.
Speaking of Cao Cao, from the first military meeting, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, etc. all proposed to inform Cao Cao about the matter and ask him to bring troops to help, but Cao Zhi refused. First, he believed that the Shari Dog had not yet been determined at that time.
Is the Black Mountain Army going to attack Cao Mansion? Secondly, Xia Houyuan and the others said nicely and told Cao Cao to come back for reinforcements. Cao Zhi felt bad after hearing this. Isn't this just asking Cao Cao for help?
Help! Doing that made Cao Zhi feel a little embarrassed. Cao Zhi thought to himself, "I am also a modern policeman. I have been training hard for several years in ancient times. I have also joined the army and fought in wars. Why can't I do it on my own?"
To defeat the Montenegro Army?" This is actually a common and impulsive idea among young people.
In this impetuous modern society, there are many young people with this kind of thinking. Once they have some ability, they don’t know how high the sky is. They always want to reach the sky in one step and call the wind and rain. Cao Zhi has the thinking of modern people. Now living in ancient times, he has this kind of thinking.
Thoughts are inevitable. In fact, ancient people have emotions just like modern people.
Cao Zhi thought that the war was about to start from the time he prepared for it. He had thought of everything he should think about. He was fully prepared for this war and was determined to win. But as the war approached, he became a little worried, so he
With the above arrangement.
When he reported the matter to Cao Song and asked Cao Song to move to another place temporarily as a precaution, Cao Zhi was scolded by Cao Song. Fortunately, his second mother came to persuade him, and Cao Zhi spent all his time again.
Only with words and lips did he persuade Cao Song.
Thinking about Cao Song, it was not easy. He had managed everything for his whole life, and finally climbed up to the rank of Taiwei, one of the "Three Lords". Within a few days, Cao Zhi sent someone to "send" him back to his hometown. It was later proved that Cao Song
The wisdom is right, but you can't just gather a team and prepare for rebellion as soon as you come back. In the old man's mind, this is not advisable. Doesn't this prove it? Even if you don't recruit a few people, disaster will come. Let's
The robbers were targeting him.
At this time, Cao Song, who was sitting on the carriage in the forest, sighed, thinking about how obedient, clever, and cute Cao Zhi was when he was a child. He even transferred his love to his younger son for a while, who was his father's eldest son.
Wei Di forcefully brought him back to reality. Now that his sons have grown up, they are becoming less and less obedient to his words. Cao Song felt helpless. He glanced in the direction of Cao Mansion and sighed again.
