Chapter 397 Win but not correct the hero, defeat without discouragement
"Your Majesty, Jieting has been banned, and Cao Xiu's two generals have been captured"
A scout ran to Cao Cao with joy and said respectfully.
"En"
Cao Cao nodded without too much expression. In order to prohibit the strength of Cao Xiu and the next small Jieting, there must be no problem. "The order is forbidden, Cao Xiu and Cao Xiu immediately led the army straight to Gaomi, and there must be no slack off at all."
"Yes, King"
"Xiaoxian ordered the army to change the direction of the march, and the army immediately changed to Yi'an," Cao Cao and Cheng Yu looked at each other, smiled mysteriously, and said to Mao Wei.
Although Mao Wei was very confused, he nodded and went down to pass the order.
Then 200,000 troops went straight to the northwest, leaving only a burst of dust.
"Zhong De, are you ready there?" Cao Cao turned his head and asked.
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Don't worry, the king, everything is ready.Your Majesty, Yu has something to do. I'm very puzzled. I hope the king can solve the puzzle for you."
"Ha ha", Cao Cao smiled and said to Cheng Yu, "Zhong De, although you and I are kings and ministers, we are friends and brothers. How can we be so strange? Let's talk about it."
Cheng Yu was frightened and hugged his fist and said, "Your Majesty, now our elite army is coming out. Even if we can't defeat the Tang army, we haven't reached that point yet. I'm afraid that if the king really gets to that point, I'm afraid he will be..." Come on, anyone can see a trace of unwillingness and stubbornness flashing in their eyes.
"Oh, I should remember Zhong De's heartfelt words, Zhong De, please get up," Cao Cao sighed and said to Cheng Yu.
"I don't know what Zhong De said before, but I can't help but be just in case. It doesn't matter if I die, but my people can't be implicated in anything, so they can't be in danger, so they can only make this worst, and make suggestions for Cao Cao like Zhong De. There are too many cultural relics in the battlefield. Although you don't ask for anything, as your lord and your king, I have to think about you. I hope Zhong De can understand my painstaking efforts." Cao's eyes at Cheng Yu were quite sincere, which moved Cheng Yu very much.
"Yu is willing to die for the king, and he will not hesitate." Cheng Yu was moved and hurriedly bowed to Cao Cao and said gratefully. The so-called woman is the one who pleases herself, and the scholar dies as a confidant. In Cheng Yu's heart, Cao Cao is the wise master in his heart. The so-called virtuous minister chooses the master. For the previous choice, he is not at all. Regret, on the contrary, he was extremely gratified to have such a lord and such a king.
"Zhong De, please get up quickly." Cao Cao nodded with a smile and hurriedly helped Cheng Yu.
Cao Cao changed the topic and asked, "Is there any news about Yuan Chang?"
Cheng Yu nodded and quickly handed the envelope in his arms to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao took over and looked at it, and his face changed. He handed it to Cheng Yu. Cao Cao said, "Zhao Yun's army is urgently attacking Huantai. The Qingzhou army can't hold on. Yuan Chang asked me to hurry up. Otherwise, once Huantai is broken, those Wenwu and Tian Kai in Qingzhou are likely to fall to the Tang army." Cao Cao's eyes were cold. With a trace of disdain, for the ridicule of the combat power of the Qingzhou army, tens of thousands of troops in the city and defense did not block the enemy's attack, this...
Cheng Yu nodded and said with a solemn expression, "Your Majesty, Yu thinks that he can first send elite troops around Gaomi and Beihai and go straight into Linzi. At that time, even if Tian Kai will be reassured, and the king can order this general to collect the Wenwu of Qingzhou as much as possible. In this way, even if Tian Kai wants to regret it, I'm afraid he can only be alone. Although the combat strength of the Qingzhou army is not good, it is also useful after all, and the king can secretly send a eloquent to sneak into the North Sea in order to pull Kong Rong to our side." After saying that, Cheng Yu stared at Cao Cao. This can only be implemented with the consent of Cao Cao.
Cao Cao meditated for a moment and nodded and said, "Okay, just follow Zhongde's plan."
"Zi Lie, Xiaoxian, you two will lead the elite 30,000, and immediately rush to Linzi, there must be no mistake," Cao Cao said in a low voice.
"Yes, king," the two of them got up and agreed.
"This battle depends on you two. Don't live up to my high expectations," Cao Cao looked at the two and said solemnly.
The two looked at each other, bowed to Cao Cao, and said, "If this doesn't work, we are willing to die to thank the king for his kindness."
"Please get up quickly", Cao Cao helped them up, with a trace of inexplicable meaning in his eyes, and paused, "Oh, I don't believe you two. This action is really too important and dangerous. So, hey, well, whether you succeed or not, you two must come back alive to see me, otherwise it will be a real disappointment. It's me."
When the two heard the words, they were moved, and a warm current went straight into their hearts.
"Okay, you two go down and have a rest first. You are in action tonight. Remember not to expose your whereabouts," Cao Cao patted them on the shoulder and sighed.
"Ye, my subordinates quit"
The two hugged Cao Cao and retreated.
"Zhong De, I always feel something is wrong, but I just can't tell what's wrong. Hey, it's not a good omen. I hope the two of them can succeed. After all, they have reached this position, and they can only go to the dark one by one," Cao said with considerable emotion.
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Maybe the king hasn't had a rest in the past two days. Don't worry, General Zilie is a warrior of hundreds of battles, and Xiaoxian is also resourceful. I believe that with the cooperation of the two, this operation will definitely succeed." Cheng Yu said very confidently, but a clear-sighted person knows that he is not much. I'm sure this is just to comfort Cao Cao and himself.
"Oh, I hope it's as Zhongde said." Looking outside the account, Cao Cao sighed.
......
Outside Pengcheng.
"Your Majesty, the news came from Qingzhou"
In the king's tent, Li Zhonggao sat on the main position. Guo Jia, Jia Xu and other literary and martial arts stood in two rows. Dian Wei and Xu Chu stood behind Li Zhong with swords.
"Ha ha, Cao Cao is proud now. He thought this operation was very confidential, but he ignored the power of my intelligence agency. Tao Ran ordered all the personnel of the Intelligence Agency who participated in intercepting Wei Jun's information this time to reward thousands of silver," Li Zhong said with a smile.
"Thank you, king", a slightly short man in a long gown with bright eyes came out to thank him. This person is a commander of the Intelligence Agency, responsible for collecting intelligence in the Central Plains.
"Gongming, I'll give you two days to take Pengcheng. Ju Yi, you lead the Mo Dao army to support Gongming's siege of the city." Li Zhong looked whole and ordered.
Xu Huang and Ju Yi came out and said, "Don't worry, the king, we will definitely live up to the king's expectations."
"Haha, OK"
"Hua Xiong, Wenpin"
"King"
"You two immediately lead the Wuwan iron horse to go north and wait for the opportunity to capture Dongwu. Mr. Wen and Mr. Wen will tell you later. Remember that you two need to discuss more about this operation before you can act. You must not be arbitrary and go deep alone and have been trapped by the enemy," Li Zhong said to them with a whole face.
"Yes", the two looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes. They quickly agreed, as if they were afraid that others would take away their credit.
"Bear by the way, where is the news from Deng Zhan?" Li Zhong asked.
Guo Jia nodded and said, "This is a message from Deng Zhan."
Li Zhong took it over, nodded and muttered, "I hope they can succeed."
Just when Li Zhong was happy for Deng Zhan's victory, Deng Zhan finally launched an attack on Cai Zhong and Cai and the two of them. In the dark night, more than 30,000 troops directly entered Chaoyang City and caught the Jingzhou army stationed here by surprise. Cai Zhong and Cai and the two finally had to take it with them. Three thousand people fled to the south gate, but Zhang Liao, who was ambushed here, was caught and resisted for less than two quarters of an hour. More than 3,000 people were killed by 2,000 people, and the rest of the Jingzhou army surrendered.
Chaoyang County Office.
"Hahahaha, today's World War I is really a mother's pleasure"
Deng Zhan threw his helmet into the lobby at will, followed by a group of generals.
"General, in today's battle, all the enemy's 70,000 cavalry were annihilated by our tiger and leopard iron horse. May I ask who else in the world can stop my Tang army and my tiger and leopard iron horse, haha", a general also echoed and said, with a trace of pride in his eyes, who can become a Tang army, and also a tiger and leopard iron horse, which can be said to make him proud He is full of anger, but he can also distinguish when to be proud and when to be calm.
Otherwise, we won't be in the current position.
Deng Zhan smiled and said, "That's all, but you can't be careless. The so-called victory is not a hero, defeat is not discouraged, cough, you still need to keep a little low-key." This sentence was originally said by Li Zhong, but Deng Zhan "quoted" it at this moment, but it seemed a little awkward, and the generals felt a little funny. .
Deng Zhan, who usually regards himself as a reckless man, is now literary, which makes this group of generals who lick blood at the edge of the knife can't help laughing.
"That's right, where's General Wen Yuan?" Deng Zhan glanced at the hall, but did not see Zhang Liao, so he asked.
A general said, "General, General Zhang Liao is placing prisoners, and he must have arrived in a moment."
"En"
Deng Zhan nodded, and his eyes were full of respect. Deng Zhan knew that because Li Zhong often mentioned in front of them how smart he was and how brave he was, which made him very dissatisfied and disbelievable, but this battle made him look at him with new eyes. This man was indeed the king. Praise.
I'm afraid it's not enough to describe both literature and martial arts.
Thinking about it, Deng Zhan sighed, and a trace of inexplicable meaning flashed in his eyes!
