"Yes! I understand!" In the meeting hall of Hangu Pass, Luo Yang, who was sitting at the top, waved his hand and signaled the scouts to retreat. Then he smiled and said to everyone sitting down: "I didn't expect Zilong
You really have the ability to force Cao Mengde to ignore the danger and agree to let Gongsun Zan’s white horse Yi Cong station in Bingzhou! Hahahahaha! Cao Mengde must be feeling very aggrieved!"
Hearing Luo Yang's words, the civil servants and generals who sat down all laughed. Zhou Cangba smacked his lips and said, "Zilong and Wenyuan fought so well! The fifty thousand Wei army was actually defeated by them.
It was completely wiped out! I heard that that kid Ma Chao was chased by Wen Yuan and he was running around like a rat! Hahahaha! How rampant that kid was in Chang'an before! He has the same fate now! He deserves it!" At the time when Ma Teng had not rebelled,
Ma Chao often met with some military generals in Chang'an to spar with each other, and Zhou Cang was among them. However, judging from Zhou Cang's tone, it seemed that he was not getting along well with Ma Chao's gun!
"You foodie!" Sure enough, Huang Zhong immediately started laughing and scolding, pointing at Zhou Cang and shouting: "You really think I don't know! When that kid Ma Chao was in Chang'an, he beat you really hard! Brat!
If you really have the ability, go find him and avenge yourself! How can you rely on Wenyuan to help you vent your anger? I see you, you are really getting better and better as you live!" Huang Zhong is a veteran in the army, and he was pointing at Zhou Cang.
After scolding, Zhou Cang did not dare to retaliate. He could only scratch the back of his head angrily, but everyone around him burst out laughing.
"Okay! Let's talk about business first!" Luo Yang stretched out his hand to stop everyone's laughter, and then said: "Now that Baima Yicong has settled in Bingzhou, and if he joins forces with Cao Cao's troops, Zilong may not be able to get a good deal.
! Send an order for Zilong and the others to retreat from Bingzhou! Just guard the border!" Everyone nodded in agreement with Luo Yang's instruction. Although this battle of Bingzhou seemed to be a draw with the Guandong princes, it could
In fact, it was the Western Qin army that took a huge advantage and wiped out Cao Cao's 50,000-strong army, while Mao Blade Qingqi retreated without any losses at all.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Yang turned his head and looked at Guo Jia, who was also smiling beside him, and said: "Fengxiao! You said before that after the princes of Guandong respond, you have a second step plan. Now it's already
It’s time, you should be able to talk about your second step plan!”
When Luo Yang mentioned this, everyone remembered what Guo Jia had said before and immediately looked at Guo Jia. The first step of the plan was to make Cao Cao's people fall off their feet. What kind of clever plan would this second step of plan be? Everyone
My heart is also full of expectations.
Guo Jia stroked his beard with a smile, shook his head and said: "My lord, now you are ordering General Zhao's troops to withdraw. This is really a wonderful move! Cao Cao was able to tolerate the white horse Yi Cong stationed in Bingzhou before, in order to be able to repel the enemy.
Qingqi. Now that the threat of Bingzhou is no longer there, should the white horse Yicong continue to stay in Bingzhou? Haha, it is easier to ask the gods than to send them away!" Guo Jia answered a lot of questions, but did not answer Luo Yang's question.
question.
Luo Yang was not in a hurry. It was common for the boy Guo Jia to show off his skills like this. Luo Yang would not be fooled by this boy. He even turned to Zhong Yao who was sitting below with a smile and said: "Yuan Chang, now
How is the repair work at Hangu Pass going?"
Zhong Yao was alone. He did not expect that Luo Yang would suddenly turn the topic to him. However, Zhong Yao was not mediocre. He immediately came to his senses and answered with cupped hands: "Reply to my lord! The repair work of Hangu Pass is nearing completion! According to the
At the suggestion of several Mohist gentlemen, six arrow towers were rebuilt on the left and right wings of Hangu Pass! And the walls of the arrow towers were all covered with leather to prevent the enemy from attacking with fire again! In addition, the walls of Hangu Pass were rebuilt.
It has been raised by ten feet, and the walls have also been thickened! When the repairs are completed, the defense of Hangu Pass will be greatly strengthened!"
"Okay!" Luo Yang nodded and praised. This Zhong Yao may not be as intelligent as Guo Jia and others, but he is a real capable official. He is more reliable than leaving it to Guo Jia and others.
Speculation! Immediately Luo Yang said to Zhong Yao: "If there is anything else you need, just ask Gu! As long as Hangu Pass can be built into the real first pass in the world! Gu can afford any price!"
"Yes! I understand!" Zhong Yao hurriedly bowed his hands. Being able to get Luo Yang's approval is great news for Zhong Yao, who has only been working under Luo Yang for a short time.
After giving orders to Zhong Yao, Luo Yang turned to look at Gao Shun on the other side and asked: "Gao Shun! How is your injury? Gu is still waiting for you to come out of the mountain and pull up a trap camp for Gu again.
Woolen cloth!"
Gao Shun's face was as indifferent as usual, but when Luo Yang mentioned the name of the trapped camp, a blazing heat flashed in his eyes, and he clasped his fists at Luo Yang and shouted: "Thank you, my lord, I'm thinking about you! The general's injury has fully recovered! If my lord has
If necessary, the general can fight at any time! As for the trapped camp, please rest assured, lord! As long as the general is here, sooner or later the banner of the trapped camp will appear again at Hangu Pass!"
"Okay!" Hearing Gao Shun's confident words, Luo Yang applauded and said with a smile: "Gu is waiting! Your flag of the trapped camp is kept here. When will the trapped camp be reorganized, you can do it again.
Come and get it here!"
"Here!" Gao Shun shouted loudly and bowed to Luo Yang with clasped fists. The look in his eyes full of fighting spirit was much more lively than when he was trapped in the camp and had just been wiped out!
"Uh! Lord!" Seeing Luo Yang asking one question in the east and the other in the west, but putting himself aside, Guo Jiake couldn't sit still. He raised his hands to Luo Yang and said, "Don't you want to know, Lord?"
What’s the second step plan?”
"I don't want to!" Luo Yang just said two words, which immediately blocked Guo Jia's next words. Everyone else in the hall laughed when they saw Guo Jia's deflated look.
Luo Yang also had a smile on his face, raised his eyebrows at Guo Jia, and said with a smile: "If you want to say something, you will naturally say it. If you don't want to say it, there is no point in forcing you to do it, right?"
Being defeated by Luo Yang, Guo Jia's expression was as exciting as it could be. In the end, he could only shrug helplessly and said: "My lord is still wise, and my subordinates are really no match for my lord. They can only be
I feel defeated! I ask my lord and you all to listen carefully! My second step plan is..."
————————————————Dividing line—————————————————————— Speaking of the two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang
, he was considered one of the top figures in Jizhou back then. When he was under Yuan Shao's tent, among the Hebei generals, excluding the Hebei Four Courtyard Pillars, the Lu brothers were the most famous! Even the ones who were trained to enter the camp first
Qu Yi's status in Yuan Shao's heart is not as high as these two brothers!
It is not without reason that the Lu brothers are favored by Yuan Shao. First of all, in terms of martial arts, the two of them can be regarded as first-class generals, especially the eldest Lu Kuang, who can be regarded as a general with his sword skills!
What's more important is that the Lu brothers have good eyesight. Among Yuan Shao's three sons, they have already spotted Yuan Shang, the third son who is most favored by Yuan Shao. Thanks to Yuan Shang's favor, the Lu brothers appeared in front of Yuan Shao.
There will be more opportunities, and naturally it will be reused by Yuan Shao!
However, after Yuan Shao's defeat, the Lu brothers followed Yan Liang and others and took refuge under Cao Cao. Their life was not as comfortable as it was when they lived with Yuan Shao! Who was this Cao Cao? How could he let them fool Yuan Shao like he did?
So fooled? Seeing that the Four Court Pillars of Hebei have been reused one after another, even Qu Yi, who was ostracized by the two brothers at the beginning, became Cao Cao's guest, but the two brothers could only be small generals.
He has less than a thousand soldiers and horses, and they are only doing trivial things.
For this reason, Lu Xiang, the second oldest brother, often complained in front of Lu Kuang. This time, the Guandong vassal alliance was about to fight a big war. The Lu brothers thought they would finally have a chance to show off their skills, but they did not expect that they would still be sent.
Do some painless tasks. I just sent grain and grass from Yanzhou to Luoyang, and in the next moment, I was assigned by Cao Cao to patrol the border of Sizhou.
Looking at the endless plains around him, Lu Xiang said boredly to his elder brother: "Brother! This is not the way to go! How can we make achievements in front of Duke Cao if we just do these errands? You see, even
That Qu Yi has already been named General Ying Yang, but we are still such a small general! Now when I meet Yan Liang and others on the street, they have to stay away! For fear of being ridiculed by those people!
"
Lu Xiang's words meant that he was ashamed to see Jiangdong's elders. In fact, it's no wonder that when they were under Yuan Shao's tent, they were highly regarded by Yuan Shao, but they acted too openly and offended many people. Now others are prospering.
However, they have become so depressed. Lu Xiang, who has a great face, cannot stand the ridicule of others.
Compared to his younger brother, Lu Kuang was much calmer. He waved his hand and said: "Second brother! Let's not be anxious! There will definitely be opportunities! Just seize the opportunity and make one or two great achievements! Why worry?
Being reused by Duke Cao? Especially now that we are about to go to war with the Western Qin Dynasty. Once the war begins, are we afraid that we will not have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds?"
"Tsk!" This was not the first time Lu Kuang said these words. Lu Xiang's ears were calloused when he heard them. Lu Xiang immediately said impatiently: "Brother! I understand what you mean too!
But the problem is that now we do small things all day long, how can we have the opportunity to make great contributions! Alas! If I had known, we should not have taken refuge with Cao Gong back then! If only earlier..."
