Chapter 303 The Wind and Clouds Start the War of Yuan Cao
In order to let the resurrected "Lin Xing'er" rest quietly, Tai Shici ordered his entourage to find a quiet place and temporarily suspend the trip.
As a result, Tai Shici was shocked. After a full meal, the beautiful woman in the cold jade coffin actually slept for a day and a night. After the beautiful woman woke up again, she sat cross-legged in the cold jade coffin, blinked at Taishici with a calm face, and then said softly to Taishici with a smile, "Taishi, you must have guessed the origin of this seat at this moment? ..."
Tai Shici nodded slightly. When the beautiful woman was sleeping, Tai Shici guessed the origin of the beautiful woman through the excited tweet of the white crane on the roof of the car. However, he is still a little resistant to the beautiful woman occupying Lin Xinger's body.
"Ha ha, Taishi, there are some things, let's be tacit..." The beautiful woman's smile is full of sunshine, which makes people feel bright and warm. "Taishi, you can call me 'Seven Master' in the future..."
Tai Shici continued to nod slightly. Of course, the seventh master knew Tai Shici's thoughts. In order not to lose Tai Shici's appetite, she told Tai Shici her origin: "Tai Shi, I have successfully crossed the disaster before... At the moment of soaring, I understood many secrets between heaven and earth... When I accepted Lin Xinger as a disciple, I also divined for her. , but I didn't expect her to have this result: Lin Xinger is kind and pure-hearted, but her birth and growth environment are destined to have a strong side to her personality... Taishi, it is undeniable that Lin Xinger's experience has a lot to do with you... According to my understanding, there are variables in every time and space, and you It is the biggest variable in this time and space. That is, your fate is unpredictable, which makes me uncertain about Lin Xinger's fate...
At the moment when I flew up, I learned that Lin Xinger's soul had been... I deeply realized Lin Xinger's incomparable attachment to you at that time. In order to fulfill Lin Xinger's unfinished wish, I separated some soul thoughts from me to forcibly stay in this time and space..."
When Tai Shici heard that the other party mentioned Lin Xinger's name, he was shocked, and tears suddenly came to his eyes.
"Well, Lin Xinger's cultivation is still not enough. If she has the same Taoist cultivation as Diao Chan's master, she can also use the Taoist sect left to get rid of the danger at that time..." The seventh master, that is also Lin Fan, the founder of Taoism, said to Tai Shici with infinite regret, "If you think about it the other way around, you can't complain about Lin. Xing'er's cultivation was not enough, but the enemy she didn't face at that time was too powerful... Well, let's not talk about it. Taishi, the reason why I borrowed the corpse to return the soul is that I want to help you resurrect Diao Chan as soon as possible! This move is also of great benefit to me. If you continue to practice in the world, you can practice my split... In the future, I can also do my best to deal with those enemies..."
When Tai Shici heard that the seventh master could resurrect Diao Chan, he was immediately surprised. At this time, the little grudge in his heart about the seventh master occupying Lin Xinger's body also disappeared. If the other party can resurrect Diao Chan, there will be another powerful helper when he avenges the Lv's door valve and the Fan clan.
Although he and the seventh master have a taste of exchange of interests, that's the reality! After all, isn't everything in the world a transaction? People can't deal with others according to their own preferences. They should integrate their fate into the trend of the times, so that they can take advantage of the situation to strengthen themselves and avoid many unnecessary hardships and troubles... Heaven is impermanent, humane and orderly!
When the seventh master saw Taishi Ci's overjoyed appearance, he immediately said seriously, "Tai Shi, don't have too much hope for me. At this time, I also start from the beginning, and the mana of Taoist door is about the same as that of Lin Xinger! At the same time, it will take me some time to get familiar with Lin Xinger's body..."
Taishi Ci doesn't care so much, as long as the other party can resurrect Diao Chan! After the seventh master finished speaking, she smiled. She reached out and hugged the gold owner who had been sucking the monkey's hand. The gold owner looked pitiful, but when it touched the soft towering of the seventh master, it suddenly became excited...
As soon as he went, the gold owner got acquainted with the seventh master. The seventh master played with the gold owner for fun while chatting with Tai Shici. Finally, the two decided not to return to Donglai County, Qingzhou for the time being, but to stay in the mountains and forests near Wuchao, and continue to watch the hegemony war between the northern hegemon Yuan Shao and the rising Cao Cao...
Tai Shici dismissed the entourage. He and the seventh master were still dressed as ordinary people and returned to the mountain forest near Wuchao. As for his movements, it is still Yindiao as a communication tool to report to Bo Cai and others in the rear at any time. For the seventh master's corpse to return the soul, Tai Shici claimed that Lin Xinger was resurrected... In order to cover up the news of his and Lin Xinger's survival, he and Lin Xinger walked around the world under the names of "Three Masters" and "Seven Masters" respectively...
Tai Shici and Qi Ye returned to the mountain forest. Naturally, they carried a lot of daily necessities, such as salt, medicine to treat fever and cold, etc. The life in the mountains and forests is simple and quiet, and everyone gets along happily and intimately. Taishi Ci and the seventh master went out hunting, with the help of white cranes and silver eagles. When they rest at night, they were guarded by witchcraft seven leaves and a flower. When they were alone, they were amused by the gold owner...
When Deng shouted his son "Ai'er" one day, Deng Ai's name immediately attracted the attention of the seventh master Lin Fan. In silence, she used her surname strokes to tell Deng Ai's fortune. Although Lin Fan's magic power is limited at this time, his fortune-telling skills are at the level of immortals. She just pinched fortune-telling, and Deng Ai's life experience was clearly presented in her mind...
According to Lin Fan's observation, two-year-old Deng Ai is really smart. His mother wrote with branches and called him literate in the sand on the beach. Like enlightenment books, two-year-old Deng Ai can recite them backwards...
According to fortune-telling and actual observation, Lin Fan secretly said to Tai Shici: Deng Ai, a child, has an extraordinary fate and will become a great weapon in the future... Taishi, you should plan for it early. This is a once-in-a-century talent!
Tai Shici was very moved when he heard the words. Inspired by Lin Fan, Tai Shici planned the future life pattern for Deng Ai...
As a result, Taishi Ci got closer to the Deng family. He often helped the people of the Deng family and often played with the smart Deng Ai. Gradually, he and Deng Ai established a deep friendship.
No matter how the history of later generations is recorded, Hua Tuo's trip to Xudu produced a butterfly effect: the source of a storm was caused by a butterfly inciting wings thousands of miles away. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. When Yuan Shao, the hegemon of the north, learned that Hua Tuo healed Cao Cao's fierce generals, he accelerated the pace of attacking Xudu.
At the beginning, he decided to attack Cao Cao, which was to plan a military action with the strategy of "taking advantage of your illness and killing you". Now the situation has reversed - Cao Cao's strength has been greatly improved! In the face of more and more powerful enemies, there is no turning back. Yuan Shao's side can only accelerate the military action. Even in the hot summer, which is not conducive to the march.
Yuan Shao, who is sitting in Liyang, imagines the scene of catching Cao Cao alive, and he is happy... Yuan Shao, who is ambitious and talented, has another wish: to use this military operation to integrate the power of the princes in the north. These include Wuhuan, Xiongnu, Qiang and other ethnic minorities. Although even if 100,000 of these ethnic groups are unwilling to participate in the military action of attacking Cao Cao, due to Yuan Shao's power, they are afraid that Yuan Shao will take the opportunity to attack themselves, so they can only send elite soldiers to obey Yuan Shao's command.
In Yuan Shao's platoon, these ethnic minority soldiers were lucky to become forward troops, directly under the jurisdiction of Yan Liang and Wen Chou Gaolan. Even if the counselor Ju Shu was sick in bed, he also urged Yuan Shao not to arrange the soldiers of ethnic minorities in this way. After all, the Central Plains region is different from the desert. These soldiers are not familiar with this area. Such an arrangement will affect their combat effectiveness. However, the counselor Guo Tu and Feng Ji and the examiners believe that the marching speed of the cavalry of ethnic minorities can have the actual effect of "military speed"...
Ju Shu's suggestion was from reality, and Guo Tu and others put it out by thinking about Yuan Shao. The two of them knew that Yuan Shao was reluctant to let his soldiers face Cao Cao's army directly. No matter how important the war is, it is necessary to preserve its strength. Otherwise, why will it be in the future?
Yuan Shao decided to adopt Guo Tu and Xu You's suggestion, which made Ju Shu, who was sick in bed, smile bitterly: This is really a muddy man whose buttocks determine his head...
As for the result of the hegemony battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, in private, Tai Shici also asked Lin Fan, who was half a fairy body. Lin Fan said in a word: the secret cannot be revealed... Tai Shici, who had been punished by God, suddenly dared not ask. If you are bitten by a snake for a year, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years!
In December of this year, it seemed that the sky favored Yuan Shao's "magnifice", and the rolling eastward Yellow River was covered with a thick layer of ice. God gave him a good opportunity. Yuan Shao's side, who had made adequate preparations, began to attack Cao Cao's military action: 100,000 people of Yuan Shao's forward troops stepped on the ice and quickly crossed the Yellow River. Then, one legion was directed by Yan Liang and rushed straight to Yanjin City, and the other 50,000-man horse was led by Wen Chou and Gao Lan to rush to White Horse City magnificently. As long as Yuan Shao's side occupied these two military fortresses, they would stand south of the Yellow River.
The cold winter, the hungry and hot summer is the same, which is not suitable for the battle of large corps. First, due to the heavy winter clothing, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has been reduced by at least three levels. Second, the cold world will definitely affect the soldiers' fighting spirit. Third, camping in the wild, burning fire is also easy to expose the target...
However, the situation on Cao Cao's side gradually improved, forcing Yuan Shao's side to launch an attack in advance. In this case, even ethnic minority soldiers from the northern grasslands and the Western Regions can't stand the cold of the Yellow River Basin, because these minority soldiers almost stay in warm tents in winter.
Fortunately, Yuan Shao's forward army did not encounter resistance at all, and occupied the two cities of White Horse and Yanjin extremely smoothly. After Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Gao Lan led their troops into the city, the first thing was to burn, kill and loot. 100,000 soldiers spread their grievances to the people in the city without reservation. In this way, every family was fairly favored! These families are all people who are unwilling to take the initiative to leave their hometown. In their opinion, Yuan Shao has always been known for his benevolence and fraternity, and his army will definitely treat them well...
Before the war, the rich families in these two cities secretly took the initiative to show their goodwill to Yuan Shao... They never thought that it was ethnic minority soldiers who acted as the vanguard of Yuan's army! As a result, they were betrayed by Yuan Shao!
In the face of the aggressive Yuan Shao's army, didn't Cao Cao do anything at all? Is it just a hypothetical "space for time" strategy?
No, Cao Cao will never be captured and wait for death. According to the advice of Guo Jia, Xun You, Xun Yu and other counselors, the wise Cao Cao concentrated his superior forces and stationed important strategic fortresses as a way to resist the invasion of Yuan Shao's army. Like the white horse and Yanjin, those rich clans who care about the wall grass of the horse, let them eat their own fruits...
In the initial stage of the war, Cao Cao needed time, so Cao Cao deliberately took the initiative to give up the two cities of Yanjin and Baima, and exchanged space for time. This move is really smart. The actual effect is that after Yan Liang and Gao Lan occupied the two cities respectively, the generals under his command were greedy for enjoyment, only cared about insulting the people, and threw aside Yuan Shao's order to continue to march quickly and refused to implement it.
In this way, Cao Cao suffered losses in the open and secretly took a big advantage. In the extremely precious time of every minute and every second, the military arrangements of Cao Cao's side were carried out intensively by the garrison. Cao Cao's senior management knows that no matter how good the strategy is, if there is no down-to-earth and effective execution, everything will become empty talk, and the result can only accelerate the defeat, especially in the face of Yuan Shao's army with enough soldiers and food.
