Chapter 3383 Soldier
The sky is getting brighter and it is a new day.
Sometimes, life is like a year, and sometimes, a year is like a day.
The Battle of Anyi, Hedong, and those unpredictable days are gradually becoming clearer.
In this battle, the winner is undoubtedly Fei Qian.
The first autumn rain did not come, but the autumn wind whistled, rolling up dust in the sky. As humans became more and more serious in the soil and soil destruction of the Loess Plateau, it naturally led to the wind and sand getting stronger and stronger. This strong wind whistled, stirring the yellow dragon toss everywhere. Even if you stand on a high place and look around, you can't see the situation in the distance clearly.
This kind of weather is not suitable for fighting, but it is very suitable for escape.
Therefore, Cao Hong did not encounter the Hussar cavalry who came to pursue, but encountered the escort of the grain transport team.
Cao Hong and others were overjoyed, almost like starving ghosts reincarnated. They rushed forward and couldn't wait to grab a handful of food and grass before moving them down...
The ordinary soldiers and civilians who transported grain looked at it, and they found it ridiculous, and the coldness gradually emerged from their hearts...
These, but before, their eyes were all growing in the sky!
Now it has become like this...
After being forced away by Cao Ping, Qian Zhao returned to Cao Cao's tent. Cao Cao comforted him very much. In front of everyone, he scolded Cao Ping for being rude and arrogant and unaware of the so-called, and expressed his intention to demote and investigate, but after he finished speaking, there was no following. This is understandable to Qian Zhao.
After all, Cao Jun has a lot of affairs, and in Shandong, everything needs to be done in one process, especially for cases like hijacking, which have neither minor injuries nor property losses. They are just scolded and beaten twice, there is really no reason to be more serious and faster.
『Have you ever seen the lord?』
After Cao Hong finished a decent meal, he felt as if he was back to life. He sat down and asked his guards to change the medicine while asking Qian Zhaodao.
"The Prime Minister is in the Zhongtiao Mountain Camp."
Qianzhao answered.
Qian Zhao saw Cao Hong's miserable appearance, and he was neither surprised nor showed any contempt. When Cao Hong asked, he also replied calmly, but Qian Zhao did not expect that his ordinary reply would make Cao Hong's heart storm surge!
Yesterday, just last night, Bao Zhong also called Cao Cao that way!
Cao Hong's expression changed, but he quickly laughed, covered up his past, and didn't ask anything more...
Qian Zhao didn't think there was anything wrong. Seeing that Cao Hong had no problem, he got up to inspect and arrange affairs. Since the Anyi camp was lost, there was no need for him to continue going north, but he had to turn around and go back.
Qian Zhao sent a quick horse to report back in advance and passed on the news that he met Cao Hong and the defeat of Anyi camp.
As for other things, to be honest, Qianzhao no longer cares much.
Just do your responsibilities well...
The wind was howling and yellow sand was flying. In a blink of an eye, there was a layer of sand on their heads and bodies, as if they were dyed with some gray-yellow colors, as if this piece of land was slowly assimilating them.
...
...
Cao Cao actually arrived at Zhongtiaoshan Camp shortly after he arrived at Zhongtiaoshan Camp, he immediately urged the grain transport team to send it to Anyi Camp. He also specially comforted Qianzhao, asking Qianzhao to take 300 cavalry and 2,000 infantry to escort the food and grass, which can also be regarded as a supplement to the troops of Anyi Camp.
Cao Cao naturally could not have imagined that the Anyi camp would collapse so quickly! It was like he was leaving, but his feet collapsed!
While he was still planning his best...
At this moment, Cao Cao was sitting alone in the big tent, his expression somewhat depressed.
He is not young anymore. If he calculates the average lifespan of the Han Dynasty, he is already beyond the average value. He is working tirelessly to improve the average lifespan of the Han Dynasty every day!
What kind of spirit is this?
Although Cao Cao has not yet reached the point where he can use his own strength to increase the average income of the entire group by dozens of percentage points, he is still a constant struggle and diligent work.
Cao Cao took off his head crown.
Flat crown.
It's not Jinxian Crown, nor is it the Tongtian Crown.
These clothes and ribbons have been certified by the organization...
Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, has been studying and deciding to give him many awards after many studies and decisions. He was appointed, not a specialty like Yuan's family.
Cao Cao still remembers the praises that the emperor ordered when he was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.
At that time, the emperor fully affirmed Cao Cao's infrastructure work in Shandong over the years, pointed out the good achievements made by Cao Cao since the uprising, and made significant achievements for the steady progress of the Han Central Plains region. The emperor was very pleased and said that Cao Cao was a beautiful business card among the princes of Shandong in the Han Dynasty, and the development of Yingchuan also reflected the good future of people's livelihood recovery in the whole country and Yuzhou, and the economy was healthy and orderly.
The emperor highly summarized the work of Cao Cao as the governor of Yanzhou, the governor of Yuzhou, and other positions since his tenures. He stated that since Cao Cao took office, he has been able to thoroughly implement the instructions and requirements of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty for basic people's livelihood construction, unite and lead Yingchuan people to actively explore, boldly innovate a new path to the Han Dynasty, strengthened the communication and coordination with the three elders and local crosstalks, and promoted the development of the Han government agencies' governance work in the countryside...
(Ten thousand words are omitted below.)
Cao Cao was quite proud at that time and worshipped the edict, but soon he discovered that the edict actually had no real emotion. Even if he changed Cao Cao's name to another person, such as Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it!
At most, you can just replace Yingchuan or something with Jizhou or Nanyang or something.
In other words, it is "a big man with iron and a three-month man with flowing water"!
The Prime Minister is just a three-month official who has changed his name!
Neither the emperor nor the local gentry took Cao Cao seriously!
Just like this time Cao Cao was defeated, they became nervous because of this, or did they feel danger?
No!
They are still drinking and singing, laughing happily!
"Faith for filial piety..."
In front of Cao Cao, a paint box was placed. He gently stroked it.
"These people should be killed! They should be killed!" Cao Cao sighed softly, "You usually dislike Wen Ruoyi and ask for completeness, but in fact you are kind-hearted and can't bear to see the chaos..."
Cao Cao said this, in fact, nothing wrong. Although Xun Yu wanted to fight for balance under many intertwined interests, Guo Jia had been mocking Xun Yu, but he really did not do anything to disturb or destroy Xun Yu.
Otherwise, with Guo Jia's strategy...
Now, Guo Jia is dead, and why do those people from Shandong live comfortably and comfortably?!
『Report!』
A soldier ran out of the tent and robbed the land with his head. "Prime Minister! He led the general to report that he met General Cao Zilian on the way! Anyi, Anyi... The camp in Anyi has been defeated!"
After the soldiers shouted, they crawled on the ground and did not dare to move.
There was a sudden silence in the big tent, a dead silence.
As soon as the curtain of the big tent was lifted, Cao Cao walked out. He didn't have time to wear his head crown and his hair was not combed. He stood in a mess in the autumn wind, and seemed to tremble a little, not sure whether it was because of the cold or the air.
Cao Hong!
it turns out……
Cao Cao knew that Cao Hong would definitely lose, but he didn't expect that he would lose so quickly!
Originally, the initiative in this war was somewhat in Cao Cao's hands. He took the initiative to launch an attack and chose the battlefield, which was surrounded by the population and wealth of Heluo and Hedong. As long as everything went well, not only could he obtain Guanzhong, but even the entire world seemed to be in front of him.
But now in a blink of an eye, all the initiative has been lost!
I don’t know when it started, but he was like he was entangled in a spider web. At first, he didn’t realize what happened, but it was getting more and more difficult and got deeper. Now it’s extremely difficult to get out!
Cao Cao had no expression on his face, but everyone felt like he was covered with dark clouds and thunder would fall at any time.
"General Zi Lian, how about now?"
After a moment, Cao Cao spoke slowly.
The surrounding soldiers guarded the troops and then took a breath.
"Reported to the Prime Minister, General Zi Lian was injured, but he should have no worries about his life..." The soldiers reported.
Cao Cao nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Beat the drum and gather the generals!"
He looked up at the sky.
The strong wind wrapped around the yellow sand and rolled around.
Lu Chang and Dong Zhao arrived soon, and after hearing the news, they were shocked.
『Prepare...speed up!』
Cao Cao whispered, looking at Dong Zhao.
Dong Zhao lowered his head, "Don't worry, lord, I'll go now, work day and night!"
Lu Chang turned around and looked at the wind and sand outside the tent, "Lord, this weather...even if the cavalry came, it wouldn't be that fast, right?"
"No, no!"
Cao Cao smiled on his face, but his eyes were flashing with cold light, "For my understanding of the cavalry... I don't move, I'll move like a rabbit! Do you think Cao Zilian was not pursued on the road, but the cavalry army had not arrived? But I think that the cavalry front army is now approaching the camp by the wind and sand! "
"What?!" Lu Chang was shocked.
...
...
The land of Youyan, the city of Yuyang.
Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, Yuyang has been glorious for a while, but just like many glories will eventually decline, Yuyang is now in decline.
Even in mid-day, there are still not many ordinary pedestrians on the main streets in the city.
Although Cao Chun also showed his bloody courage as a Han man at the end of the last war, which somewhat saved the dignity of the Cao family, the entire Youzhou had been hollowed out. Even though Cao Chun repeatedly emphasized the need to develop stably, encourage agriculture and sericulture, develop the economy, and stimulate consumption, the effect was actually very average.
You can see it from the shops opened on the street and the pedestrians who buy them.
This place was originally the main street of Yuyang. As long as the market opened, people were coming and going, and every shop was filled with people, including large and small bags, carrying them on their hands, shoulders, and loading them back to the village in donkey carts, in a constant stream.
But now, it is already very good to have three or five shops on the street with doors open.
Several guys stood bored at the door of the store.
Business is not good now, and even the female mover can’t afford to hire a female mover. If you are recruiting customers, the client will serve as a part-time job. But even if the client serves as a part-time job, saving the female mover’s salary, there is no customer flow on the whole street, and the remaining money is not enough...
Suddenly, a sound of horse hooves came, and several shopkeepers who were still opening were excited!
You know, those who can still ride horses nowadays are big customers!
But soon, an older guy's face changed. Not only did he not recruit him at the store, he even rushed into the store...
"What is this old guy doing?"
The guy from another shop not far from the door was still wondering, but soon he understood why...
I saw that the sound of horse hooves came on the long street, not a big customer who bought goods, but a quick horse carrying flag-receiving!
There were only a few pedestrians avoiding each other.
The quick horse passed through the long street like a whirlwind.
The shop's guys and pedestrians looked at each other and saw a look of panic in each other's eyes!
How long has it been since then?!
Is the war going to start again?
Can people still live in Youzhou?
Pedestrians are no longer shopping and buy them, so they are hurriedly walking home.
And the remaining shops on the long street soon began to install door panels and close the store behind closed doors!
For a moment, the tension and panic spread in Yuyang City!
『General, general! Military situation is urgent!』
Seeing that it was urgent to report, the guards on duty at the Yuyang General's Mansion did not dare to be negligent. They ran straight and had their lower limbs blocked and their blood was blocked. The express soldiers who were unable to walk steadily walked inward.
The word "Military Information" is like a sledgehammer, smashing the illusion of stability that was finally built into pieces!
『Bring in!』
In the hall, Cao Chun's silence came.
Cao Chun was not wearing armor, but was wearing a battle robe and tied with a belt. His figure was not much different from before, but when he looked closely at his face, he could see that he was much haggard, especially his eyes, which looked like the tiger pioneer who had been fighting for six hours, and turned black in his green.
『Report!』Quick horses report to the death, 『The Northern Territory of the Cavalry, the Northern Territory Cavalry is here!』
"What?!"
Cao Chun slapped the table and stood up.
Although he felt a little more or less estimated after seeing the Kuaima report, he still couldn't sit firmly when he heard the news. "Let's talk about it in detail!"
The quick horse was clamoring with a hoarse voice, "General! The Cavalry Army is here! At the outpost at Gubeikou, we have already met the Cavalry Scout! And according to the movements of some shepherds, the Cavalry Army has already launched a large-scale move!"
"The movements of the shepherd?" Cao Chun asked.
"This... General, outside Gubeikou, there are some scattered herders who traded some salt and iron with us..." He hurriedly lowered his head.
This is an unruly thing.
Although everyone knows that guarding the border whistle is very hard, it is also a very common behavior of "discord" when taking out the dispensed salt and iron and replacing some meat and milk with the shepherd. In principle, it is not allowed.
Moreover, this kind of replacement sometimes may not be a replacement food, and sometimes the wife and daughter of the herdsman will become one of the replacement products.
After all, the desert is sparsely populated, and if you want to get married without getting close relatives, you have to think of some solutions. It is not that these shepherds are shameless, but that they are forced by the conditions of lifestyle production...
But this is indeed dangerous, because no one knows whether these shepherds will become enemy spies next time, or will they sell Cao's sentry with their opponents!
Upon hearing this, Cao Chun frowned slightly, but now he is not the time to care about these things. He can only say in a deep voice: "Tell me more in detail!"
The emergency report quickly stated that because they had some transactions, the herdsmen first met the scouts of the cavalry. They felt that it was not good, so they started to evacuate and informed their posts...
"General! The cavalry is really here!" I urgently reported to kowtow.
Cao Chun nodded slowly and waved his hand to make an emergency report to rest.
Cao Chun could not understand what it meant if the Cavalry Army came in a big way!
The last time in Youzhou was in ruins, Cao Chun became almost the biggest joke!
He sent Xiahou Shang to make various arrangements, and gave up a lot of benefits to the Xianbei Wuhuan and gave a lot of money. But in the end, not only did the Xianbei Wuhuan, who had no shame and trustworthiness, betrayed him, but even Xiahou Shang really threw himself into the cavalry!
There are so many things that I can't just slap Cao Chun in the face, but it can even be said to be jumping on his head and shit!
The scenes of the previous war reappeared in front of Cao Chun...
Cao Chun recognized his skills.
Zhao Yun is indeed powerful, and Cao Chun is not sure of defeating it.
Cao Chun also accepted his plan.
However, there are no decent strategists around me, and those who can come up with some ideas are just wine bags, and they can't compare to the Northern Region Army of the Cavalry.
But Cao Chun was still a little dissatisfied in his heart!
Because Cao Chun always felt that if Zhang He hadn't brought some semen to fight for no reason, and Xiahou Shang was a real act and betrayed his arrangement, he might not have lost so badly last time!
Therefore, the main reason is not his, but "traitor"!
Before, it was a away game, Cao Chun didn't know many places in the desert. He thought that even if the Xianbei Wuhuan people could not provide much combat power, they could still provide some vision. However, they did not expect that the Xianbei Wuhuan was a scumbag, which made him careless and lost his vision on the battlefield!
if……
Forget it, no if!
Now, the battle that was not completed before has been revealed to Cao Chun again.
This time it is a local battle, and the success of the king and the defeat of the enemy will be defeated. This is a blow!
"The whole army is on guard immediately! All soldiers return to the team immediately!"
Cao Chun shouted loudly, "Three days, no, tomorrow we must prepare the food and grass in advance! Go to war immediately! Follow me to fight against the cavalry army!"
"Tomorrow? General, will this... be too rushed? Didn't it mean that it was just a sporadic scout? The cavalry army may not have come back..."
『Hmph!』 Cao Chun snorted coldly, 『The Cavalry Army... has always been very fast and cunning... Do you think he hasn't arrived yet, so you might have already arrived outside Gubeikou now!"
Chapter completed!
