Chapter 652. You're still here to sow discord
Time is ticking, and so are people! In the past, the cylinder followed Cao Cao, and the war really had to be counted by the day! On which day to set out, how many miles to march in a day, where to settle, which day must be attacked, and! The enemy must be defeated!
But now! This Cao Zong's war is really grinding, the war began in March, and he grinded under Tongguan until the end of July, and now he can be regarded as entering the Guanzhong, across a Wei River, and he began to touch and lose again! Three times in a row, the Cao army crossed the river and set up a stronghold on the south bank of the Wei River, but as soon as Ma Chao attacked, the Cao army immediately withdrew back.
In terms of combat effectiveness, Wang Hou did admit that these wearing armor and having a large number of Qiang people fighting, and it seems that they really absorbed the tactics of the Roman First Legion that came to the east under the command of Crassus, and the Liangzhou Army equipped with a javelin shield is not weak, but! With him, Wang Hou's Cao army, which has been transfused blood for many years, is also not a weak brigade.
Especially! The way to win now is not on the battlefield! And behind Ma Chao, the cavalry alone, there are more than 40,000 Cao troops, if Wang Hou is the main commander, he will not confront Ma Chao here at all, the cavalry will be scattered like locusts, sweeping the entire Guanzhong, and even looting to Liangzhou, the Guanzhong coalition army composed of ten will be in turmoil, some will call back to the army to save their hometown, and some insist on fighting on the front line, maybe they will have to fight.
But it's a pity that it's his turn to carry the bag to the leader after a long absence, the leader is still his father-in-law, Mr. Cao said that he would not fight, he could only listen to the leader's command and squat on the north bank of the Wei River.
Cao Jun's war is grinding and grinding, and on the other hand, it reflects the strength of Cao Jun, why did he have to fight every day in the past? The grain is insufficient, and the food will be exhausted if the troops are not sent out on time to fight the war as planned, but now, in the empire, Wang Hou proposed that the Tuntian method presided over by Chen Qun has been widely used, and Ma Chao also has the idea that Cao Cao will withdraw when the grain runs out in the autumn, but he does not know that the continuous flow of autumn grain is entering the Guanzhong battlefield from the Hedong Line, and after a few years, Cao Cao's Hedong warehouse will not lose.
Now the war in the winter is not so uncomfortable, one person has a big cotton jacket, Hedong is next to Jindi, and it is a coal producing area, a small iron stove is lit in the tent, and even some canned fish can be baked on the fire, and some bubble tea can be cooked, of course, this is limited to the Liaodong Army Yu Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and a large number of Cao Army infantry still do not have such good food.
The most difficult thing to appease is the Xianbei people, after all, in the past, two or three months were long to go south to plunder and fight, but this year, it is all New Year's Eve! For them, Wang Hou had no choice but to spend money to implement the decrees in "Total War in Rome", bread and entertainment! The playing cards are enough, and the Xianbei people who do not go out to carry out military orders can nest in the tent and play poker to kill time.
The wine is limited in supply, as much as possible, but in the Naturalization City, you have to spend money on drinking, follow the war, and it doesn't cost money to drink! The two Zheng Ce, as light riders and Xianbei people, were quite good at appeasement.
There is also a consequence that Wang Hou did not expect, that is, playing cards, fighting landlords simply spread out like the plague.
This head watched the Xianbei people play, and Cao Jun, who was idle in other battalions, also came to borrow poker and go back to play, and the Guanzhong Army on the other side of the river, Yang Qiujun burned the trebuchet because of the card fight, which not only banned the playing cards in the Guanzhong Army, but because of this trouble, the cards were more widely publicized.
Squatting on the reeds by the Wei River, peeking at the other side of the river with a telescope, the Liangzhou army in a more difficult situation, several large shields were put together, it was a simple wind shield hut of Bei Ye, sitting cross-legged in the center of gravity of the shield, six or seven people watched the battle there, and the three authorities were spitting and splashing there, and a strong Liangzhou dialect scolded and shook the playing cards made of tree bark.
Wang Hou was dizzy when he saw it.
However, the telescope lens skipped over the unscrupulous patrolmen by the river, and looked further away, but the desolation came into view.
The harsh government of the capital is fiercer than the tiger! That's right! It's Guanzhong! In the Middle Ages, it was the most prosperous land in China, giving birth to the Qin Empire! Han Gaozu was able to win the world, and it was not unrelated to the strong support of the fathers and elders in Guanzhong, but now, in the former prosperous Chang'an, there is no complete village in sight, leaving only ruins and broken walls, the traces of war left by the warlord melee after Dong Zhuo's rebellion are still clearly visible, and the fertile 800 miles of Guanzhong and even the famous Zheng Guoqu are barren together.
If this is picked up again, forged into an outpost to go west with the Western Regions by land, and make Guanzhong as prosperous as the Tang Dynasty, it will really take time and money!
"General!" 52 Literature
Just when Wang Hou's eyes were solemn and Liaodong's standard expression was grinning, there was a shout from behind, turning around, wearing neat armor, and the staff officer Deng Ai hurriedly trotted over.
"The group of thieves in Guanzhong has sent envoys to come, General Wuqiu, please return to the camp quickly!"
This Wang was very difficult to treat, and it was estimated that Ma Chao and Han were not comfortable with it, he snorted coldly in his heart, put away Wang Yuanjing, and Wang Hou immediately jumped out of the reeds.
"Lead the way!"
…………
Although it is a coalition of ten families, it is still who has the most fists and who has the strongest voice, and this time there are only two envoys, one Ma Chao and one Han Sui.
And now, they are not here to make peace, but to fight! Before Wang Hou had even entered the tent, he had already heard a roar that didn't know who was baring his teeth there.
"The prime minister mentioned more than 100,000 heroes in the Central Plains and tens of thousands of cavalry, and when he came to our pass, he didn't dare to respond to a battle, which really made the world laugh!"
"If you don't dare to fight, why did the prime minister come all the way to return to the old nest of Yecheng and enjoy the wine pond meat forest in peace?"
"Yesterday, the lord of my family, Ma Minggong, accompanied the sword and sword to make a song, and Cao Mengde came to the west, and the 100,000 army was more timid than chickens!"
In these years, swearing is really poor, and after talking for a long time, the most ruthless is to draw out a chicken! If it is Wang Hou, he will have to point at the old man Cao Cao and grin and scold at the old man: lock the old king and Cao Lao dog, have the courage to fight with Lao Tzu! Don't dare to retract back into the kennel and play with eggs!
I entered the tent with the regret that the old man scum was not scolded for his blood, who knew that the first time I saw him, the scolding was foaming at the mouth, and Cheng Yu, the envoy under Ma Chao, was aiming at him again.
With a disdainful face, his head was high, and he looked at Wang Hou with his spare eyes, and he snorted proudly.
"Tsk! It turned out to be a short-sighted General Wang! I am also curious, I don't even understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, how did the general create such a great foundation, enter Cao Gong to attack my general, General Wang is the first soldier, willing to be a pawn of the horse, and a dog under his knees! If my general is defeated, Cao Gong will regain Ru Liaodong in the future! How did General Wang resist? ”
"I'm afraid that the general will be beheaded in the future, and it will be too late to regret it!"
Not to mention, this old boy is really yin, he came up to sow discord, his lips and teeth were cold, Wang Hou and Mr. Cao are close, after all, he is now a small warlord who started his own business, and this remark can quite provoke people's hearts, at least, Mr. Cao, who has just been scolded for a long time and has a normal complexion, his face changed slightly, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang, Xu Chu and others, his eyes couldn't help but beat twice.
But before Mr. Cao could speak, a sneer flashed at the corner of Wang Hou's mouth, girl, I really forgot why Lao Tzu scolded Lu Bu back then?
