Chapter 147
Cao Cao was indeed a treacherous hero. Before he wanted to win, he was determined to lose first! This is also one of the important reasons why he promoted Wang Hou to a left-behind infantry general in Guandu camp!
It is because Wang Hou was too young and did not have enough prestige among the generals! Unlike Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan or Xun Yu, once Cao Cao was defeated in Wuchao, he would not be able to come back! If Cao Ren led the army, with his identity as the Cao clan and his prestige for many years, he would hold a large army to replace Xu Du, which was only a few years old. Xun Yu was also like this. With his supreme status in Yingchuan and in the minds of the geniuses in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, he could not be convinced, but he could not be convinced by his military power. He could only continue to rely on loyalty to the Cao clan to maintain his authority.
It’s really possible. After seeing Sun Ce die early, how did Sun Quan treat him as his descendants? In the face of cold power, all kinds of family relationships must be given up.
Wang Hou's character is also considered one aspect. This kid is really not good. He is full of genius, greed, and lustful. Otherwise, how could he go on a tolerant job under the threat of losing his head and still hook up on his daughter? But only Wang Hou does not have a strong desire for power, so he is a typical leader! He is still a straight person.
However, Wang Hou, who is a typical leader, has a good leadership ability. First of all, all the veterans here are all veterans. His attitude is humble and he has no one-man rule. Well... he can't do one-man rule. After all, the direct troops he really took were less than a thousand troops. Around the sand table, Wang Hou described his defense plan, and also put out various combat equipment models to seek Cao Ren and the others' opinions.
A meeting lasted for most of the day, and various possible emergencies were raised. After thinking about the corresponding solutions, and then following the banner, contact command and other important military secret matters, whether it was Cao Ren or Xiahou Yuan, they all went out with satisfaction.
Wang Hou, who was already exhausted, finally had time to point fingers at Zhao Yun and Zang Hong, and then returned to the small bed specially prepared in his office and slept for a while.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the entire Cao army camp was completely in a state of intense preparation. The civilians in the back camp carried basket after basket of arrows, compound bows, yellow crossbows and other combat equipment, and a large number of infantry soldiers were also gathered densely after their commanders returned to the camp, and there was a scene of a storm coming and wind storm filled the building everywhere.
Moreover, the date of the war came faster than expected. It was said that it was a surprise attack three days later in the middle of the night. In fact, in the middle of the night, tens of thousands of Cao's cavalry had been mobilized on the central school field.
After half a year, the Cao army's cavalry is no longer the Cao army's cavalry half a year ago. No matter how light and heavy the cavalry are, everyone is now equipped with high bridge saddles, supporting balanced stirrups, and slippers and horseshoes.
At the forefront, more than a dozen large braziers shone brightly on the flag-raising platform of the later school. In the face of Wang Houxin's fear, the strong men of the rear army moved the wine jars with fuses to the front camp where the cavalry arrayed and distributed them to the five hundred tiger, leopard cavalry that Cao Cao trusted the most.
A jar weighs about four or five kilograms, four for each person, and is placed in a horse net bag under the saddle.
"How about Xu You?"
He didn't walk onto the stage immediately, and he also gave Wang Hou the cold-forged armor to his whole body. While walking, the armor clattered, looking at the cavalry under his command with a contempt, while Cao Cao asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, my son-in-law has found a few women to drink and dance with him. Now he is drunk and is in the hot spring building. He is not in the mood to figure things out until tomorrow morning!"
"Don't you be happy to think about Shu?"
I accidentally traveled through time again. I couldn't tell Cao Cao that your grandson was useless. I let Sima Zhao of the Sima family usurp the power and arrested Liu Bei's son, the Emperor of Shu, Liu Chan. As a result, Liu Chan was so happy that he didn't miss his hometown at all, so he was so happy that he was not interested in Shu!
Neuropathy!
Wang Hou had to stammer and began to fool him: "Shu, the country of Tianfu! Ten thousand acres of fertile land, rich products! There are also gorgeous Shu brocade. As a result, a while ago, a Shu merchant came to Puyang and lived a very comfortable life. He didn't even want such a good hometown, so he was called "happy in Shu."
Not to mention, this explanation is really clear. Cao Cao understood and repeated it again without thinking about Shu. Then he drew another big cake for Wang Hou.
"Shu is indeed good. Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun stay together. When the world is pacified, the original minister will also draw a large piece of land for you and the Red Festival in Shu, so that you two can also have a story that will last forever, and fly together, haha!"
Old hooligan!
"Thank you Xiangfu!"
What does it mean to be indifferent? He was whispering in his heart. Wang Hou quickly looked grateful and said thanking him with fists. However, when it comes to Shu, Cao Cao went to change his face with Sichuan opera, and suddenly he smiled again and shouted in a hurry and gloomy manner.
"Tuqiu, before I set out, I have a task to hand over to you!"
"Xiangfu's father made it clear!"
The voice suddenly became high, pointing at the Jishui River rolling behind him. In the stunned eyes of Xiahou Dun, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, etc., Cao Cao roared loudly.
"Wang Hou, I will order you to burn the hundreds of thousands of stones of grain from the back camp to me immediately!"
"Burn..., roast..., roast..., roast food!!!"
His tongue was almost knotted, and he didn't breathe in one breath, Wang Hou was stunned and shouted in disbelief.
"It's really... it's really burning!"
"Burn! Our army is moving forward! This time we will definitely defeat the Yuan bandits. Why should we store so many military rations? This is a military order! You will implement it immediately!"
"Let me..., please obey the order!"
The cheeks were so painful that they were thrusting, full of heartache and extremely difficult. Wang Hou agreed, and then turned over and ran over to the horse in a sad way and rushed to the rear camp.
Not long after the horse's hooves rang, a fire suddenly surged across the Ji River, and the strong fire illuminated half of the sky.
The camp was on fire, and the soldiers in the school, which was already orderly, couldn't help but get confused. They all turned around in shock and discussed, and seized this time. Cao Cao rushed up to the generals in great excitement and roared high at the panicked cavalry.
"Brothers! The food in Houying Village has been ordered to be burned by me, Cao, and each person has only three days of dry food. You will immediately follow my prime minister Cao Cao to conquer the rebel thieves of the Yuan family in Hebei. For three days, if you don't defeat the Yuan thief! We will starve to death!"
"There is no way to retreat! Fight against the traitor Yuan Shao!!!"
What a cruel man! Before the war started, I cut off my own way of retreat! The fire was rolling in the sky behind me, and I could vaguely hear the crackling sound of burning. I was forced to retreat, and the Cao cavalry also had a crazy look on their faces. I don’t know who shouted the first time, and then the Central Military Academy was boiling, and everyone was roaring and shouting wildly.
"Follow the Prime Minister and swear to defeat the Yuan thief!"
The morale of the army is available!
It seemed that he had recovered the courage and heroism of his youth. He was the first to turn over and then suddenly pulled out the Yitian Sword. Cao Cao waved his sword again and roared loudly.
"Go to fight against the thief!!!"
Ten thousand people were neatly rolling over horses. Amid the sound of the extremely spectacular armor, forty thousand horse hooves slapped violently on the earth. Under the bright moonlight, the vast team was like a black dragon. Under the guidance of the murderous flags, the Guandu camp that had been refused to be guarded for more than half a year.
The famous Guandu Battle of the Three Kingdoms and Three Battles finally sang the climax scene.
