Chapter 202
Although Liu Bei and Chen Gong could not guarantee that there would be a few troops that were originally Cao Cao's troops. However, Liu Bei felt that the direct troops brought by Liu Bei himself would be alive and the troops who knew Liu Bei's news would definitely return to Liu Bei as soon as possible. Liu Bei's confidence made Chen Gong and Zhang Xiu have to believe that the facts were indeed the case. However, Chen Gong and Zhang Xiu secretly felt that if Liu Bei's army was indeed like this, it proved that Liu Bei was loved by his subordinates too much. Then Liu Bei was definitely a person who should not be underestimated. The result of the action and the development of things was really smooth.
However, when Liu Bei was successful, Cao Cao became depressed. He had already taken down the pass and was waiting to defeat Liu Bei in one fell swoop. However, Xiahou Dun, who was chasing Liu Bei, was brought back without knowing his life and death. Then, he received news of Liu Bei's counterattack, and Liu Bei's counterattack was still very fierce, and they were all cavalry. Where did Liu Bei get the cavalry?
But just when Cao Cao was depressed, a soldier suddenly came to report in panic: "Report to Prime Minister. Big things are not good! Yu Jin rebelled." "Impossible!" Cao Cao suddenly stood up and blurted out. The news of Yu Jin's rebellion had a great blow to Cao Cao. Even a hero who was so talented and powerful, never easily expressed his inner thoughts, would inevitably lose control and lose his manners at this time.
For Cao Cao, although Liu Bei's betrayal was huge, it was just Cao Cao's momentary carelessness, and he was hit by Liu Bei's shameless villain's treacherous plan, which was just a temporary unclear understanding of people. It was something that Cao Cao could prevent and avoid in the future. Although Chen Gong's betrayal made Cao Cao not understand and a little sad, after all, there were signs before, which was just a difference in political views. Cao Cao also understood Chen Gong in his afterthought. Moreover, this made Cao Cao pay more attention to the harm of different political views, which could make Cao Cao more alert and guard against in the future. However, Yu Jin was completely different from the two people ahead. Yu Jin was just a military general who led the army, and Cao Cao treated Yu Jin sincerely. If Yu Jin betrayed Cao Cao, who else could Cao Cao believe in the future?
At this time, Xi Zhicai, who was accompanying him, interjected and asked, "Yu Jin rebelled. Where did this news come from?" Xi Zhicai's question made a glimmer of hope flash in Cao Cao's heart. At the same time, Cao Cao also realized his disobedience. Cao Cao then corrected his face and said, "Let me tell you the detailed story of Yu Jin's rebellion."
The explorer said, "The villain was ordered to inquire about military information. He happened to meet dozens of soldiers of our army fled for the death. The villain suspected that the enemy was chasing him. He hurriedly asked him about it. According to what they said, they encountered Liu Bei's cavalry troops raiding. Due to military strength, they could only fight and retreat, but on the way back, they were robbed and killed by Yu Jin's troops. Due to the attacks between Liu Bei's troops and Yu Jin's troops, they could only escape. The villain discovered this military information. He did not dare to delay and immediately came to report to the Prime Minister." What the explorer said made Cao Cao capture the teeth and unite Liu Bei to attack from the front and back, and cooperate with the inside and outside. This is not betrayal, what is this? It is too vicious!
Xi Zhicai pondered for a moment and said, "Prime Minister. At this time, it cannot be concluded that General Yu Jin rebelled. Now the situation is unclear and the situation is unclear. With General Yu Jin's character, he should not easily betrayal. This may also be a lie and a plan for disagreement. The purpose is to make the Prime Minister kill himself without knowing the truth and destroy his strength. However, General Yu Jin was originally a talent recommended by Lord Bao Xin. Before Lord Bao Xin died, he was with Zhang Miao.
The friendship between the aides in Yanzhou is not very shallow. Now Zhang Miao responds to the rebellion of the Chen Palace. If Yu Jin is thinking about his old feelings, cater to Zhang Miao and responds to Liu Bei, that is not a bad thing." Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai with his eyes, and that meant: You are causing trouble. He talks at both ends. He asked you to tell them all by himself. But is this still here? Did Yu Jin betray him? That is a matter of life and death in the whole army!
Xi Zhicai understood Cao Cao's meaning. Xi Zhicai hurriedly continued, "It is difficult to distinguish this matter. It is difficult to say it. It is easy to say it. As long as the Prime Minister sends someone to order Yu Jin to return to the camp to argue. If Yu Jin joins Liu Bei, he will definitely feel guilty and dare not come to meet the Prime Minister to send his life. In this way, the Prime Minister can gather troops and fight them in the hall, and lift Yu Jin's military power in the battle. Then the soldiers led by Yu Jin will all eat the Prime Minister's salary. The Prime Minister will use the right to fight against the rebellion. Those soldiers will definitely not dare to follow the prime minister. The Prime Minister can also
Yu Jin was easily captured. On the contrary, if Yu Jin had not colluded with Liu Bei, Yu Jin would definitely be eager to defend the Prime Minister. At that time, the Prime Minister treated him sincerely and smiled. Then Yu Jin would definitely be even more grateful to the Prime Minister." When Cao Cao heard this, he said happily: "Okay! It's exactly what I want." Then, Cao Cao sent someone to Yu Jin to send an order to let Yu Jin return to the camp to explain the killing of officers and soldiers. Cao Cao's team also began to prepare to deploy cavalry to deal with Liu Bei and Yu Jin's possible betrayal.
However, Cao Cao waited for Yu Jin's arrival with the intent mentality. However, Cao Cao was equal to ban on the left, and ban on the right. Even the person who sent the orders still had no news. Cao Cao was really anxious. Could it be that Yu Jin really rebelled? In fact, Yu Jin did not rebelled. It was just that Yu Jin was really busy and could not escape. After Yu Jin followed Xiahou Dun's troops this time, he was still responsible for the work of receiving the support and had the command of 50,000 troops. Yu Jin's work is simple to say, but if he really did it, the trouble was not small at all. Since Yu Jin defeated Cao's army and broke through the pass, Yu Jin has been following Xiahou Dun's troops.
Later, after Xiahou Dun's troops dispersed Liu Bei's troops, they carried out the work of pursuing Liu Bei's troops that had rushed to fight. Although Liu Bei's troops had not had strong attack power, there was no outstanding general command or leadership. However, the tenacity of Liu Bei's troops really surprised Yu Jin. This was like an undead cockroach. Logically speaking, the entire army was dispersed, and the troops that were like loose sand should have surrendered long ago. But when they were so good, they were still fighting on their own and never gave up fighting and surrendered. At most, these troops were in places where Monkey was insufficient and concentrated their forces to break through. But then they hid in the secret to fight with Yu Jinyou.
However, although these places are difficult to deal with, it will only cost Yu Jin more trouble. The scattered small-scale battles are really no threat to the overall battle that has become a general situation. Yu Jin was only doing some support and clearing the tail. However, when the sky was dawn, Yu Jin suddenly received a front army led by Xiahou Dun and was attacked by Liu Bei's cavalry. Xiahou Dun's troops were killed by the enemy cavalry under no leadership due to the life and death of the commander.
After defeat, Yu Jin heard the news, of course he led his troops to take over without regard for his fatigue. But who would have thought that when Yu Jin met with the opponent's general, Yu Jin was not the enemy of the person. Yu Jin's biggest advantage was that he was training soldiers and commanding troops to fight, and he had the style of a general. As for his martial arts, he guessed that this era was really unstoppable! However, Yu Jin's martial arts was not a waste. After the enemy general's surprise attack, he could still do it. And Yu Jin used this time to command his subordinates to surround the man and fight.
However, if there is only one enemy, Yu Jin will deal with it like this, which is indeed a very stable strategy. However, he is not a fool, and he is also brought with his troops. Wild cavalry assault is not a good thing to be experiencing. This time, it is obvious that Yu Jin's general is a master. On the plain, the helpless infantry responds to the impact of the cavalry, which is definitely a dead end. It is only time to go. Yu Jin skillfully divided the army into two parts, one part fighting and retreating, entangling the opponent's pace of advance, and the other part quickly retreated five miles. On the road, he set up camps, set up obstacles, fences, and trenches, and let the crossbowmen prepare for shooting. Then he asked the troops responsible for breaking the rear and entangled the camp and entered the back camp. He blocked the opponent's cavalry with a dense rain of arrows, forcing them to retreat helplessly.
When the number of people is almost the same, the infantry fought against the cavalry, not only was not defeated, but also repelled the opponent. This is the manifestation of Yu Jin's general's style! To be honest, Liu Bin had wanted to get Yu Jin before. In Liu Bin's opinion, although Yu Jin's martial arts were not outstanding, his commanding ability and the ability to train soldiers were also counted among all the generals of this era! The Youzhou Army now needs such talents most! Unfortunately, Yu Jin and Liu Bin have always missed each other, and Yu Jin still ran to Cao Cao's command! If Cao's army wanted to be the best general in this time and space, without Zhang Liao, the original leader of the five sons, Yu Jin would definitely be the leader! But it's a pity that with Liu Bin, everything became a bit impossible!
When Cao Cao was sending the order, Yu Jin was busy commanding the troops. At that time, Yu Jin received Cao Cao's order and said to the person who sent the order: "The enemy is powerful and cannot escape. When the enemy retreats, I will meet you with the Prime Minister again." The person who sent the order saw that things were like this, had no choice but to wait for Yu Jin. But for Cao Cao, who had no idea about the facts at all, he did not know at all. Waiting was a very painful thing, especially for people like Cao Cao. At this time, even the people on the side did not dare to guarantee that Yu Jin had not rebelled. Finally, Cao Cao's patience was exhausted. He could not wait any longer. If he waited any longer, he would delay the military plane and let Liu Bei and others join hands with Yu Jin to take the lead. Yu Jin's rebellion must be pacified as soon as possible, so that Liu Bei and the others can be quickly pacified without internal troubles.
However, just as Cao Cao raised his orders, someone suddenly came to report: Yu Jin was back. Cao Cao relaxed and asked again and again: "How many troops did Yu Jin bring back?"
The person below replied: "Reported to the Prime Minister, Yu Jin has not brought one soldier and one soldier. He came back alone."
Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "Let him come in."
As soon as Yu Jin walked into the camp, he asked Cao Cao angrily, "Do you know your crime?" Yu Jin said humbly and arrogantly, "My subordinates only know how to kill the enemy, but not what they are guilty." Cao Cao asked, "Since that's the case, why do some soldiers say that you have joined forces with Liu Bei to kill the officers and soldiers of the headquarters?"
Yu Jin replied: "I have never joined forces with Liu Bei to kill our officers and soldiers. My subordinates only killed several scum in the army that harmed the people of Yanzhou when they were carrying out the troops of General Xiahou Dun, and just corrected our military rules. The people of Yanzhou are all the people of the Prime Minister. How can they harm the Prime Minister and ruin the reputation of the Prime Minister?"
It turned out that Xiahou Dun's troops were mostly composed of Bai Rao's surrendered tigers and wolves. These people were originally restrained under Cao Cao's strict military law control. However, when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, he launched a massacre to attack Xuzhou as soon as possible. The bloody ** of these people were ignited again. Now, after conquering the pass, these people could no longer control themselves. The troops who followed Xiahou Dun to chase Liu Bei's troops in front had no time to think about this, but those who were behind did not have this.
I was worried about how to do things like burning, killing, stacking, looting, etc., and then do whatever I should do. This made Yu Jin, who followed him, unable to see it. In Xuzhou, it was the enemy's territory, and Cao Cao's orders, Yu Jin turned a blind eye. But now Yanzhou is the base camp of his own troops, and Yu Jin is also a native of Yanzhou. How could this situation happen again? Therefore, Yu Jin killed all those who did not obey the orders according to military rules. This is also the usual style of Cao Cao's troops.
When Cao Cao heard Yu Jin say this, Cao Cao understood at that time. However, Cao Cao still asked, "Why are you not too late?" Yu Jin said frankly: "The enemy army arrives, and you should reject the enemy first. How can you hide such gossip from the Prime Minister? Why do you need to distinguish this?" Cao Cao laughed and said, "The general knows my heart well. His words are all lenient to others. The general can lead exhausted troops in chaos, defend strong enemies, and establish strongholds. He has unshakable qualities. Even famous generals in ancient times are all inferior."
Cao Cao is worthy of being a hero in troubled times. With just a few gentle words, he put aside the fact that he suspected Yu Jin. It seemed that Cao Cao asked Yu Jin just to prove Yu Jin's innocence to others. In the end, Cao Cao's praise of Jin made Yu Jin grateful to Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao was not as clever as Liu Bei, he could make people believe in Liu Bei, but Cao Cao did a pretty good job in winning people's hearts!
In any case, Cao Cao's crisis was the efforts of Jin, and Cao Cao successfully survived. But as soon as Cao Cao recovered, Liu Bei couldn't bear it. Although Zhang Xiu's 30,000 elite cavalry was powerful, he could not get anything good under Cao Cao's strategy of step by step. Moreover, Zhang Xiu was originally invited by Liu Bei, and he had planned to eat Liu Bei, so naturally he did not prepare much food and grass. At this time, Zhang Xiu's military rations were about to be exhausted. No matter how nice Liu Bei said, it was not useful. After all, empty words could never be used as food. Zhang Xiu had no official position and no grain, and in the dilemma of having no official position and no grain, he had to choose to retreat. After all, Zhang Xiu was not stupid. There was no benefit at all. With 30,000 cavalry, he would not be a matter that a normal person should do?
As for Liu Bei's troops, let alone Liu Bei's troops of more than 300,000 were originally joint troops. When the pass fell, Liu Bei's direct troops were seriously injured. When Liu Bei raised the military flag and summoned the troops, only 140,000 direct troops of only 60,000 to 70,000 troops gathered with Liu Bei. However, this was enough to surprise Chen Gong, Zhang Xiu and the others. As for the more than 100,000 troops called for by Chen Gong, after Cao Cao returned, they all surrendered to Cao Cao one after another. The soldiers and horses that besieged Xu Du were also defeated by Cao Cao in the wild. In the end, Zhang Miao could no longer make a living in Yanzhou. He brought 50,000 remaining soldiers to Yuan Shu in Huainan. So, at this time, the situation of Liu Bei and Chen Gong was left with awkward.
Originally, Liu Bei was planning to go with Zhang Xiu. He could not only avoid the limelight from Zhang Xiu, but also eat Zhang Xiu from Zhang Xiu. But he was good, and Zhang Xiu was not stupid! Liu Bei always liked to occupy the nest and would also win people's hearts. Moreover, Liu Bei had more soldiers than Zhang Xiu's soldiers! Let Liu Bei follow him to Wancheng, and it is hard to say whether Wancheng's surname is Zhang or Liu in the future! He sent troops to help Liu Bei, which was to take advantage of the situation. Both sides were allies and mutually beneficial, but they were not as good as having a friendship with wealth! So Zhang Xiu directly told Liu Bei that there were not many military rations in Wancheng and could not provide Liu Bei's military needs. Then he ran away quickly.
It was originally a wonderful plan to seek protection like Zhang Miao. However, Liu Bei betrayed Yuan Shao and left. It was difficult to explain to Yuan Shu. Moreover, even if Yuan Shu had no feelings for Yuan Shao, he had given Yuan Shao a lot of ideas to deal with Yuan Shu when Liu Bei was in Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu knew about these things. Therefore, if Liu Bei went to Yuan Shu, he would definitely not be able to lose. Chen Gong felt sorry for Liu Bei, and he also felt that Liu Bei had a high reputation in the army and was a seedling of great achievements. Moreover, he betrayed Cao Cao, and he might not necessarily gain the trust of others. So Chen Gong decided to protect Liu Bei in the future.
Liu Bei thought hard for a long time and finally thought of a place to go. Liu Bei talked about his plan to Chen Gong, and Chen Gong couldn't help but applaud, so the two of them agreed and then took the troops away while Cao Cao had not completely attacked! As for where to go, we will analyze next time!
