Chapter 543: Cao Cao Decided to Send Reinforcements
It didn't take long for Xiahoudun and several of them to arrive. If they all know the Tao and can make their lord gather a few of them in a hurry, then there must be something important, so several people temporarily put down the matter at hand and hurriedly rushed over, so they arrived quickly.
After a few people entered the house, they all found Guan Yu's unfamiliar face, after all, there were only a few people in the house, and Guan Yu's appearance was indeed relatively easy for people to find. And some people said in their hearts, is it just to introduce this new general who has joined the lord's account? But no matter what it is, it's already here, and I think the lord will be able to say it right away.
"I've seen the lord!"
The six of Xiahoudun said in unison, and then nodded to Cheng Yu and Xiahouyuan, which was regarded as a greeting.
Cao Cao smiled, "Come, sit down!" ”
After the six of them sat down, Cao Cao introduced Xiahoudun and Guan Yu to each other one by one. And Xiahoudun and the others were also very polite to Guan Yu, after all, they were all doing things under the lord's account, and they would also be colleagues who "bowed their heads and didn't look up" in the future, so it was impossible to stiffen the relationship as soon as they met each other.
As for Xiahoudun, Cao Hong, and Cao Chun, the three generals of the Cao family, a new amount of strength has been added to their main account, and seeing that Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang are not ordinary people, they are all happy in their hearts. Because their own side is stronger, they have strengthened the strength of the Yanzhou army, and this is what they are most happy about.
And for Li Dian, Le Jin, and Yu Ban, the three generals with foreign surnames, the addition of Guan Yu, a military general with a foreign surname, can be said to have enhanced the strength of their Cao Ying's foreign generals. And they can naturally feel that Guan Yunchang is not an ordinary person. So this is also something they are quite happy to see and happy to see, no way, the so-called "where there are people, there are rivers and lakes". Isn't that all the case, Cao Cao, what exceptions are there here?
Let's just say the most basic, Cao Ying, in the Yanzhou army, the generals of the Cao family and the generals with foreign surnames are actually the two obvious camps. On the surface, the two sides really seem to have no contradictions, and they are living in harmony. But in reality, how can this be. Of course, it's not like tearing each other down, or going too far or anything. But competition is inevitable. But there aren't too many contradictions, anyway, at least temporarily-
After the introduction, Cao Cao knew that it was time to say something more important. So he glanced at Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu understood what his lord meant. So he said to Xiahoudun and them: "Generals, the envoy from Hanoi came here before. It's for ......"
Cheng Yu put Sima Yi just now. From the time he arrived, until the time he left, he told several people what had happened in the meantime.
Later, he said, "The lord is looking for you to come here just to ask you what you think!" ”
And Cao Cao also said at this time: "Yes, that's right. I came to you here to hear what you think. Don't worry, just speak your mind! ”
Cao Cao really wanted to hear the opinions of these people under him, after all, they were the ones who sent troops. It's just that this time I came to Luoyang. Of course, there are a lot of generals, and Cheng Yu is the only strategist, so it is not difficult for Cao Cao to predict what the result will be. After all, he can see it, especially Yuan Rang's hot temper, Sima Yi said that he was afraid of his Liangzhou army, and the first thing he was not convinced-
Sure enough, as soon as Cao Cao's words fell, he saw Xiahoudun say something: "Lord, did that Sima Yi really say that?" This is really too indifferent to our army! Lord, his subordinates asked to send troops, let him Sima Yi take a good look at whether our army is as he said! ”
Cao Cao just smiled faintly at this, everything was the same as he thought, if it wasn't so, then it wouldn't be him Xiahou Xuanxiahou Yuanrang. It is estimated that he really can't stand this anger, if Sima Yi is present at this time, then Yuan Rang will directly refute him in person, saying that he will lead troops to Hanoi.
"I wonder what you guys think?"
After all, it was just Xiahou Dun's words before, and Cao Cao had to see what the other people meant.
Xiahou Yuan also said at this time: "My lord, my subordinates also agree with what Yuan Rang said and send troops to Hanoi!" ”
Cao Cao nodded, it seems that the two brothers have the same idea, and it is estimated that they can't stand what Sima Yi said. Of course, this is indeed a point for them to send troops, but many of the generals also want to meet Ma Chao and the Liangzhou Army sooner, so this is not wrong.
After that, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Li Dian, Le Jin and Yu Ban, they all said their thoughts. As a result, there was no exception, and they all agreed to send troops to Hanoi. Cao Cao looked at it, and thought the same as himself, and the generals all agreed to this.
So he asked Cheng Yu the most: "I don't know what Zhongde thinks?" ”
Cheng Yu smiled: "Lord, if there is no envoy from Hanoi to ask for help this time, then our army will not have to send troops." But now that he Sima Yi is coming, our army will send troops to Hanoi! ”
Cao Cao nodded, and so did the generals. Isn't that what it's all about, or that's the truth? No one came to ask for help before, so no matter how you find an excuse to shirk it, Tsushima Chao can completely avoid the Liangzhou army without fighting, and it is not a big deal. But now that everyone is asking for help, and you could have sent troops, but you didn't send troops, and repeatedly shirked it, how do you think about it? Therefore, it is imperative to send troops, and this is a must.
And Cheng Yu's words changed at this time, and he said: "But if the lord sends troops, then he will fall into Sima Yi's arms!" ”
When Cao Cao heard this, his eyebrows raised, and Xiahoudun listened to it, and scolded secretly in his heart, you sour and rotten Confucian, you said just now that you had to send troops, but at this time, you said that sending troops would be the way of others. This army is also you, and you say that something else is also you, what do you want? And at this time, his eyes looking at Cheng Yu were a little unkind, quite kindly, if you Cheng Zhongde don't explain it well, I want you to look good.
Cao Cao asked, "I don't know what Zhongde means?" ”
Cheng Yu smiled, "Lord, my subordinates have an idea, which can not only save face for our army, but also not be swayed by Sima Yi!" ”
"What does Zhongde mean?"
"My lord, it is indeed imperative to send troops at this time, and there is no need to discuss it anymore. However, although the troops will be dispatched, how to send the troops is up to our army! The lord said, yes or no? ”
When Cao Cao heard this, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed, "Yes, what Zhong De said is good!" ”
In fact, this matter will be understood as soon as it is said, yes, it is okay to send troops, but when to arrive in Huai County, it is not necessarily. According to Cheng Yu's meaning, Cao Cao was ready to send 20,000 foot soldiers to slowly march to Hanoi. If Ma Chao still fails to take Huaixian County after arriving at the place, he will talk about it then. If the Liangzhou army occupies Huaixian before reaching the destination, then they can only retreat.
In fact, for Cao Cao today, even if he fights with Ma Chao at this time, even if he loses some, he can afford to lose. After all, the people who came to Sili and Luoyang were only a small part of his Yanzhou army, and most of them were still in Yanzhou. And now after Cao Cao's incident in the north, he is indeed more confident, and the money and food are more abundant, so it is indeed not what it used to be.
The military general Zhongxia Hou was a little dazed, and he didn't know what his lord and Cheng Zhongde meant, so he asked, "Lord, I don't know what you mean by this?" ”
Cao Cao said in his heart, you Xiahou Yuanrang don't know what to do, but he didn't think of this yet, so he briefly talked to Xiahou Yuan, but Xiahou Yuan pouted, he really didn't like this very much. In essence, if this is the case, isn't it better to avoid fighting and not fighting, what is the difference between this and what Sima Yi said, his own Yanzhou army is really afraid of him Ma Mengqi, afraid of him Liangzhou army?
Of course, Xiahoudun will not admit this, and this is simply impossible. But now that his lord has decided to do this, there is nothing he can do. At least Xiahoudun knows that the things that his lord has decided are at least not things that he can change-
Cao Cao said, "Zixiao, Zihe, Gongming, Yunchang!" ”
"The subordinates are here!" The four stood up and said.
Cao Cao nodded, "Ming'er and the other four people can go to Huai County, Hanoi with 20,000 foot soldiers, and assist the Hanoi Wangyi Taishou to face Ma Chao, there must be no mistake!" ”
"No!" The four of them agreed in unison.
Xiahoudun was in a hurry at this time, and said in his heart, "Lord, why don't you let me go." He really wanted to take his troops to Hanoi, but he still said that what his lord decided was not something he could influence anyway.
And Cao Cao really didn't dare to let Xiahou Yuan go, after all, the person in Wen County, Hanoi, is now his own Meng Qixian brother himself, at least Cao Cao knows that he Xiahou Yuanrang is not his opponent. If it weren't for the fact that Luoyang couldn't do without him now, Cao Cao would have wanted to go by himself, after all, Cao Ren, Cao Cao was still a little worried, but it was better than Xiahou Dan. Because if the two armies fought, even if Cao Ren was defeated, Cao Cao thought that he would be able to bring back a lot of soldiers. But if it were Xiahoudun, he would escape back from Ma Chao and bring back a few thousand people, which would be good.
After the last, Cao Cao decided this matter. Send troops, send reinforcements to Hanoi, and Cao Ren, Cao Cao at least reassures him that he can fully carry out his will. As for what the final result will be, then this is indeed not easy to predict, after all, there are many variables on the battlefield, who knows what will happen to the road. (To be continued......)
