There was a tense atmosphere in the Chinese military tent. Whether it was the coach Cao Cao, the rebellious generals, or the self-esteemed staff, the expressions on their faces were extremely solemn.
We have encountered many enemies, but there is only one who can bring such overwhelming pressure to people!
"It came so fast! How many troops and horses were dispatched, and who was the vanguard?" Cao Cao's tone was very calm. From the moment he raised his troops to go north, he had been prepared for this day. He just didn't expect that Wang Yu had not previously
It is as moving as a mountain, and it is hard to understand why it is so fast once it is started!
Ling County and Leping are connected by the Luoshui River. The terrain is flat, making it very convenient for the army to march. Wang Yu's advance is fast, so it is not a surprise.
However, the outermost scouts discovered the Qingzhou Army in the Boping area and immediately returned to report. But when the news from Boping reached the Chinese Army, the news from Liaocheng also arrived. In addition to the time and place, the news from the two places was not the same.
There is no difference. From this we can see how fast Qingzhou's actions are and how ferocious the oncoming force is.
Is he going to make a desperate attack? With his calm tone, Cao Cao's heart was not calm at all.
"The vanguard is General Tai Shici! In addition to the banners of the Qingzhou generals, there is also the banner of Youzhou Tian Kai, with nearly 20,000 troops!"
The Qingzhou Army in Hebei only has Xu Huang's urging camp. Although the soldiers are powerful, they are not many in number. If they come alone, their momentum will be weak. After Tian Kai's Pingyuan Army has been expanded, it has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses.
, if the whole army attacks, the enemy's troops may exceed 30,000.
Now it seems that Tian Kai should have left some troops to defend the Jizhou army and confront Guantao's Gao Lan in the Qingyuan area. However, it doesn't matter whether Youzhou's temporary expansion of infantry is more or less. At most, they are just waving flags and shouting.
The real combat power is Qingzhou's elite.
"Is Taishi kind? How can Wang Pengju be so virtuous and talented? He has so many good generals under his command!" Cao Cao sighed sincerely.
There are also many good generals under his command. Not to mention the brothers of the same clan, Yue Jin, Li Dian, Shi Huan and others who came to serve are all talented generals. But because he has always personally commanded the army in battle, so
The generals under his command rarely get the opportunity to act independently. Even if they do, they are left behind, bluffing and other tasks. They do not show their true abilities and appear to have no characteristics.
On the other hand, the five generals under Wang Yu's command each have their own characteristics. Yu Jin is good at training troops and fighting defensive battles. Even Xu Rong's methods are difficult to break through; Xu Huang is good at attacking and has a strong ability to seize opportunities and attack difficulties.
Coupled with the armor, he single-handedly created an unparalleled spearhead camp.
Huang Zhong is good at shooting. During the Battle of Yangren, he followed Wang Yu and cut off the flag with one arrow, overwhelming the three armies. He was unparalleled for a while. Now he is guarding Fenggao and is on his own. No new achievements have been reported, but there is no news.
No one dares to underestimate this army of only 3,000 people.
Not to mention Taishi Ci, this fierce general who is the bravest of the three armies uses his troops to move deeply and move like thunder. In the surprise battle of Duchang City, his decisiveness and bravery were fully demonstrated.
It may be dangerous to act alone, but to serve as a vanguard, to kill generals and capture flags for the army, is a person who is unworthy of anyone.
The latest and younger one is Zhao Yun who joined before the Battle of Jieqiao.
Although Cao Cao has been paying close attention to the developments in Qingzhou, Zhao Yun still makes him feel inscrutable. He is a year or two older than Wang Yu. He usually doesn't talk much and seems a bit mature, but this will not be the important task entrusted to him by Wang Yu.
reasons.
As soon as he joined, he became a white horse righteous follower, the future commander-in-chief of the Qingzhou Qingqi Army. This kind of treatment was something that the other four generals had never enjoyed. When Taishi Ci first entered Qingzhou, he also served as a commander-in-chief for a while.
, However, he only leads the troops in combat, but Zhao Yun has full authority. From recruitment, to training, to commanding operations, everything is decided by him!
Like Xu Huang and Yu Jin's troops, the future Qingzhou Qingqi will be deeply personal and will be tied to the name Zhao Yun!
Cao Cao believed that such attention was definitely not without reason.
It's just that Zhao Yun was too low-key. Not long after he stayed in Qingzhou, he was sent back to Changshan by Wang Yu to recruit troops. Cao Cao was never able to obtain valuable information.
It was an inconspicuous rumor coming from Xuzhou that caught his attention.
As a close opponent of Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu also attracted Cao Cao's attention and worked hard to collect relevant intelligence. Xu Shu was also a famous figure in his hometown. Now that Yingchuan was Cao Cao's sphere of influence, it was easy to collect intelligence. Soon, there were
Information about Xu Shu's character, deeds, apprenticeship, and living habits were placed on Cao Cao's desk.
Xu Shu was originally a knight-errant and had not studied seriously for a few days, but people who knew him said that he was very resourceful and resourceful, which could be seen in his daily dealings. More vividly, his chess skills were extremely high.
.
Yingchuan is a place where elites gather together. Music, chess, calligraphy and painting are also skills highly praised and enthusiastic by Confucian scholars. There are naturally many chess players here.
However, Xu Shu was invincible in Yingchuan. Except for a few losses during his beginner days, there was no record of him losing chess!
Go is just a side game, and it is not enough to attract Cao Cao's attention. But the problem is that Xu Shu's opponents, without exception, all say that Xu Shu's chess skills may not be at the top, but he will often stand out in the middle of the game, and one person cannot cope with it, even if he is a national player.
He still talks to him.
The news from Xuzhou came from the governor's house. It was said that Tao Qian was playing chess with Xu Shu, accompanied by the great scholar Zheng Xuan. After losing three games in a row, the two elders highly praised Xu Shu's chess skills. Xu Shu was just modest at first, saying that Tao Qian was the best.
He couldn't believe it, so Xu Shu said frankly that not long ago, he lost three games of chess in a row and was suppressed by others.
Tao Qian was surprised and kept asking questions. Xu Shu didn't want to say more at first, but later he couldn't help Tao Qian's questioning and told the truth with a wry smile: The person who defeated him was Taishi Ci!
Tao Qian was even more confused. Taishi Ci's reputation for bravery had spread throughout the Central Plains, and there was no doubt that, but he had never heard of the fact that he was a master of Go. Zheng Xuan was also from Qingzhou, and he knew the characters of Qingzhou very well, but he
He also shook his head, Xu Shu was already very powerful, and any chess player who could firmly rank above him must have become famous in Qingzhou long ago. He couldn't have known it.
So Xu Shu explained in detail, it turned out that Taishi Ci came prepared, and in order to regain his position, he also brought a helper.
Watching chess is a true gentleman, but Taishi Ci came to challenge, not just for playing chess, but for gambling. He made it clear in advance: two out of three games, if Xu Shu wins, the past will be wiped out, and he pours tea for Xu Shu
Apologize; if he wins, Xu Shu will have to call him big brother from now on.
Since it was a bet, there was no need to consider the rules. Xu Shu was happy to use this method to resolve disputes with his colleagues, and he was confident in his own chess skills, so he readily agreed.
Taishi Ci's chess skills were not weak, and before the middle game, the two were evenly matched. However, when Xu Shu made a strange move, something suddenly changed, and the helper began to respond.
Winning by surprise must be based on exchanging local disadvantages for local advantages. As long as you can exceed the enemy's expectations, you can disrupt the enemy's position, expand local advantages, and win the final victory.
However, in the early stage of the operation, one's own lineup is definitely full of flaws. Ordinary opponents will be attracted by the sharp offensive and cannot see these weaknesses; more sophisticated opponents will also be confused by the scheming party in other ways, thereby covering up
There are flaws; but there are always some gods in the world who will not be easily fooled by appearances.
Xu Shu had met similar opponents before, but he always had to go through a battle of wits to determine the winner. But at that time, he had never heard of such a situation.
As long as he reveals a flaw, no matter what method he uses to cover it up, the gang will see through it immediately and attack him. No matter how he moves around, he will not be able to confuse the opponent.
After losing two games in a row, the outcome was already decided and there was no need to play again. However, Xu Shu was not convinced and insisted on playing again. He also changed his method and used strange tricks from the beginning.
This time, he finally tried it out. The opponent saw the flaws in the chess strategy, not by chess skills, but by something similar to intuition. In front of this person, he had better not reveal any flaws and conduct offensive and defensive battles in a orderly manner.
Only then can you hope to win, and using strange tricks will only bring humiliation to yourself.
Unfortunately, he realized this too late, and finally let Taishi Ci succeed.
Xu Shu didn't care about this either. Taishi Ci was older than him and had higher abilities, so he didn't suffer any disadvantage by calling him "big brother". It was a great thing to take the opportunity to improve the relationship.
What concerned him was the unique ability of that helper, the new cavalry general Zhao Yun.
At this point, Xu Shu stopped talking and instead brought the topic to the matter of his sworn sworn relationship with Tai Shi Ci and Zhao Yun. Tao Qian and Zheng Xuan didn't ask any more questions. After a moment of sighing, they switched to congratulations.
It was just a rumor, and Cao Cao would not delve too deeply into it, but the possibility contained in it made him extremely frightened.
If his guess is correct, the last of the five generals in Qingzhou is likely to be the most terrifying one. This person is not in the Qingzhou Army now, but the more he is like this, the more terrifying he is!
Thinking that such an opponent would appear on the battlefield at any time, discover his weakness at the first moment, and attack fiercely, Cao Cao felt a chill in his heart, so he sighed.
His feelings came from his heart, but these words were unpleasant to the ears of the generals. Isn't this a slap in the face? The people in Qingzhou are good generals, but they are just mediocre generals?
"My lord, I am willing to lead my troops as the vanguard to fight against Tai Shi Ci and sharpen Wang Yu's spirit!"
"My lord, I am also willing to go! I cannot capture Tai Shi Ci alive, so I am willing to lead the army!"
"Lord..."
Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Xiu all had a reputation for bravery. Except for Xiahou Chun who stayed in Yingchuan, they all marched out boldly and angrily asked for orders. The other generals were not to be left behind. For a time, the mood was fierce, because of Wang Yu's reputation.
The depressing atmosphere that had come was swept away, and Cao Cao's aggressive tactics were immediately successful.
"Your courage is commendable, and I am very pleased. Wang Yu is coming fiercely, and he must find a way to sharpen the enemy's edge..." Cao Cao's eyes slowly swept over the generals, and finally stopped on a big black man like an iron tower.
He smiled and said: "He has Taishi's kindness, and I have evil to come. Who is strong and who is weak? Let's see the difference today!"
The black man was overjoyed and clasped his fists as he promised: "Dian Wei will live up to his master's trust and will capture Tai Shi Ci alive and offer him to his tent!"
"Okay!" Cao Cao waved his hand vigorously and shouted: "You lead the five hundred personal guards ahead. I will assemble the army and fight against it! Let's see who is the brave general of Qingzhou, or the elite soldier of Yanzhou!"
The generals responded loudly: "I am willing to fight to the death with my lord!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
