Sun Tzu said: If it is not profitable, it must not be used, if it is not dangerous, it will not be able to fight, the Lord cannot be angry and raise the division, and it will not be discouraged and cause war, and it will move if it is in line with the benefit, and stop if it is not in line with the benefit...... Yuan Benchu boasted that he was familiar with the art of war and was proficient in strategy, but unfortunately he didn't comprehend the essence of it! ”

Xuchang - Prime Minister's Mansion, when he learned that the people of Hebei were moving south, Cao Cao showed a sneer, and unhurriedly recited "Sun Tzu's Art of War - Fire Attack Chapter", this holy book of soldiers, I really never get tired of reading it, and the more I read, the more I can taste the new taste!

The 400,000 horses of the Yuan army rushed over, and the vanguard troops approached the important town - Baima, as the so-called 'soldiers will block, water will cover the earth', Cao Cao immediately ordered: "All departments of people and horses quickly assembled, ready to go out to Guandu, to meet the Yuan army going south, life and death, fight here!" ”

For several months, the Cao Ying Group has been actively preparing for the war, accumulating grain and grass, building equipment, the soldiers are practicing day and night, not daring to slack off, and now the people and horses gathered near Xuchang have reached 170,000, all of whom are elite soldiers from various states, fighting bravely, with one as ten, and equipped with sophisticated armor and weapons, it is definitely a tiger and wolf division!

As for the grain and grass, the crops in the prefectures and counties have already matured, and after harvesting and drying, all the autumn grain is put into storage, which is enough to support a few months, and in order to support this decisive battle, 500,000 people, more than 100,000 cattle, horses, and mules, and more than 30,000 carts have been requisitioned, which is enough to ensure logistics and transportation!

Next, it is to arrange the expedition, as well as the problem of the left-behind personnel, the big war together, the front charges, bloody battles, the rear to raise money and food, full support, the responsibility is different, but the same importance, must be arranged properly!

This time, the decisive battle of life and death, Cao Cao personally put on the battle, and the strategists: Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Mao Jue, Man Chong, Liu Ye...... Accompanying the army to the expedition, staff officers, military aircraft, generals: Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Li Dian, Le Jin...... Commanding the men and horses, charging into battle, such a powerful lineup is really unprecedented!

In addition, the third son of the Cao family, Cao Zhang, and the fifth son, Cao Xiong, went out with the army together, which was also specially arranged by Cao Cao, one is to hone the ability of his sons, so that they can see the bloody battlefield, so as not to become captive lambs; Second, it can also inspire the morale of the three armies, the two sons of the Cao family, the eldest is fifteen years old, and the younger one is only eight years old, all of them are dressed in battle, and the rest of the soldiers naturally fight bravely to kill the enemy and enter without retreat!

The second son, Cao Pi, sat in the prime minister's mansion and controlled the Xuchang garrison, and in case of an emergency, he had the right to 'cut first and then play', Xun Yu and Xun Yu assisted left and right, helping to deal with large and small government affairs, levying taxes, raising grain and grass, and ensuring the logistics supply of the army!

In addition, he specially appointed Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen, the children of the clan, to lead the guards and guard the safety of the palace, and actually put the little emperor under house arrest, so as not to let someone plot against him, Cao Cao also issued a secret order: "The imperial city is important, there must be no loss, if there is a change, kill the dragon secretly!" ”

Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes is a political trump card in Cao Cao's hands, and at the critical moment, he would rather destroy it than fall into the hands of others, otherwise there will be endless troubles, anyway, there are many relatives in the Han family, and a person surnamed 'Liu' is still the emperor!

After arranging various things, Cao Cao called Cao Pi to the secret room, gave him three tips, and repeatedly instructed: "There is a change in Jiangdong, open the first bag, the court has changed, open the second bag, if there is a change in the Hou Mansion, then open the third one, as long as you are ruthless enough and act according to the plan, you can keep the Prime Minister's Mansion safe and sound, but the third bag, it is best never to open it!" ”

Leaving three tips in advance, it is not that Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, but as a politician, he must make all preparations, this decisive battle is related to the life and death of the Cao family, and it will also change the fate of many people.

Everything was ready, and then, according to the process of going out, Cao Cao did three things, first: bid farewell to the Son of Heaven and take the stage to worship the general......

Since Han Gaozu - Liu Bang ascended the high platform and appointed Han Xin as the general, this set of rules has been handed down, whenever the army goes out, the emperor of the Han family must fast, bathe, choose a good day, climb the high platform, and officially give the tiger charm and the order flag to show respect for the general!

From this moment on, if there is a conflict between the 'holy decree' and the 'military order', the soldiers will only obey the latter, which is called 'the general is outside, and the king's order is not subject to it!' ’

Cao Cao's name is Han Xiang, he is actually a regent, he has long mastered the military and political power, and the tiger charm and the order flag are also in his hands, and he does not need to be given by the Son of Heaven at all, so this 'stage to worship the general' ceremony is simplified, Cao Cao is wearing armor, walks up to the Qilin Palace, bows down and salutes, the little emperor stands up from the dragon chair, raises his hand and returns half a salute, the ceremony is over!

The second thing is to worship the demon god - Chiyou, this rule is more ancient, as early as the ancient period, has been formed, thousands of years, before the armies of the past dynasties set out, you can not worship Yan, Huang Emperor, you can ignore the gods, but you must worship Chiyou, pray for the blessing of the 'demon god', the army will be victorious, and return triumphantly!

For this matter, Cao Cao did not dare to be sloppy, fasting, bathing, personally led a group of civil and military officers, came to the Demon God - Chiyou Temple, burned incense to worship, kowtowed sincerely, and made a grand wish: "This expedition, if you can win, after the victory of the army, you will definitely rebuild the temple for the Demon God, and then shape the golden body, three animals and great tribute, boys and girls, gold, silver and jewelry, ......"

People fight for a breath, gods fight for a stick of incense, with so many tributes, I believe that the demon god - Chiyou will definitely protect Cao Jun and return victorious!

The third thing, and the most important, is to hold a solemn departure ceremony, select the vanguard generals, and send troops to meet the enemy......

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The third year of Jian'an - autumn, October 15, the auspicious day of the zodiac, the five-star alignment, the benefit is in the east, and the troops are auspicious!

"Boom! --Boom! Boom! ”

"Woo! --Woo! Woo! ”

………………………

Xuchang Chengnan - Colonel military field, the war drums are like thunder, the horns are continuous, the soldiers of each department, a total of 170,000 horses, neatly lined up here, look at it, the flag is fluttering, the people and horses are like a tide, the swords and guns are flashing, the murderous spirit is soaring, this situation is really difficult to write, the pictures are difficult to paint, only standing in it, can you feel the masculinity of the army!

"Yuan Shao deceived the heavens and the earth, rebelled against the imperial court, poisoned the people, mutilated the living beings, was unkind, and was full of crimes! …… Today, according to the edict of the Son of Heaven, he commanded the three armies, vowing to sweep away the four states of Hebei, kill the Yuan family, support the Han family, and save the people of Li ......"

On the platform, Cao Cao's golden helmet and golden armor, big red cloak, leaning on the heavenly sword at his waist, read aloud the oath of departure with his magnetic voice......

"Brush! --Brush! Brush! ”

At the same time, the 'Tiger and Leopard Riders' escorted up eighty-one death row prisoners, pressed them on the ground, raised their broadswords, and gave an order, the heads fell to the ground, caught the gushing blood with wooden barrels, and then smeared them on the five-color flag, which is called 'Blood Sacrifice Banner, out of the division will win!' ’

After the oath is recited, the battle flag is sacrificed, the next step is to select the 'vanguard general', charge into battle, fight to the death, and exchange the blood of the enemy for my prestige, for the generals, this is a great honor!

Thinking of this, the clan generals and the generals with different surnames stepped forward, looking at Cao Cao one after another, hoping to serve as the vanguard general, and after a while, the two groups of people looked at each other, raised their eyebrows, opened their mouths, and began a silent battle, like two groups of fighting cocks, no one would take a step back!

Look at Cao Cao again, holding the order flag, standing proudly on the platform, his body does not move at all, steady as Mount Tai, he has no intention of choosing someone at all, and he seems to be waiting for someone?

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, three quarters of an hour...... Half an hour passed, the generals' necks were stretched, their eyes were sour, and they still didn't hear any orders......

"The Prime Minister has always been decisive in encountering problems, why did he hesitate today?"

"Don't you choose a pioneer general, can it be said that there is no suitable one of the generals in the battalion, can't it, they are all generals who have experienced a hundred battles?"

"How about you choose someone, if you miss the auspicious time, it won't be fun!"

…………………………………………………………

"Click! --Click! Click! ”

While everyone was secretly anxious, there was a rush of horses' hooves, and after a while, several riders came to the bottom of the stage, flew off their horses, and ran to the stage......

Led by a young man, tall and tall, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, full of bookish atmosphere, it is the fourth prince - Cao Zhi, who originally went to Wancheng, but he didn't expect to come back at this time, followed by a person, wearing stainless steel armor, holding the Qingfeng sword, his expression was slightly nervous, it was the newly canonized 'Zhennan General' - Zhang Xiu!

"Brush! …… Brush! ”

After seeing Zhang Xiu, the first reaction of the generals was to draw their swords, and their hands touched the hilt of the sword, and then they suddenly remembered that the two sides had negotiated peace, and the prime minister and Zhang Xiu had become sons and daughters!

"The last general will pay homage to the Prime Minister, and when he goes out today, please also grant the position of vanguard, go into battle to kill the enemy, and the generals will capture the flag and raise the prestige of our army!"

Zhang Xiu walked to the front, knelt down on one knee and saluted, with a frosty face, Wancheng to Xuchang more than 600 miles, he tired eight horses, it took two days and two nights, and finally caught up with the expedition ceremony, that is, to serve as a pioneer general, to prove himself with military exploits, but also to atone for his sins!

"General, please get up quickly, today the old man swears to go to the battle, is the position of the vanguard general, it must be the general...... I also hope to fight bravely and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions! ”

Cao Cao stepped forward to help, patted Zhang Xiu's shoulder again, to show trust, and then took out a 'vanguard general' gold seal, solemnly handed it over, negotiated peace with the murderer, and entrusted him with a heavy task, such a wonderful thing, only the traitor wants to come out, do it!

"The last general will obey the order - in order to repay the grace of the prime minister's appreciation, he will not give up!"

Zhang Xiu took the golden seal with both hands, held it high above his head, signaled to the officers and men of the three armies, and then walked off the platform and quickly left...... I have arrived in Xuchang, tens of thousands of horses are still on the road, and we must speed up the march!

At the same time, Cao Cao raised his head with his chest straightened, cheered up, pulled out his Heavenly Sword, and pointed obliquely at the Heavenly ......, "The soldiers of the three armies - go on the expedition!" ”

"Expedition! …… Let's go! …… Let's go! ”
