Chapter 19: After Seven Days, Fight to the Death!
"More than 20,000 soldiers were lost, Zizhong lost countless people, and General Gao Ran was killed on the battlefield...... This mat weaver and freak, a freak with both ears and shoulders, the old man and you will not stand apart! ”
Hearing the news that in the valley of Laojunfeng, the second loss of troops and generals, Cao Cao's face was full of black lines, angry, and he didn't care about the demeanor of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, jumped up and cursed for a long time......
And the language is vulgar and unbearable, and the chronicler can't write anymore, so he can only annotate it in the Spring and Autumn Period, which roughly means: Prime Minister Cao Cheng is very eager to have some super friendship with Liu Bei's female elders!
After cursing for a long time, Cao Cao's breath in his chest smoothed slightly, and he felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and several figures flashed in his heart: Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You...... And Yat Shaw!
In the past, Cao Cao presided over the overall situation, Guo Jia strategized, Xiao Yi commanded, and Xun Yu and Xun You sat in the rear...... Everyone worked together and cooperated closely, making the chariot of Caoying Group an invincible existence in the world!
It's a pity, Guo Jia fell on the journey, Xun Yu and Xun Yu committed suicide one after another, Xiao Yigong was so shocked that he didn't dare to reuse it anymore, only Cao Cao was left alone to support the overall situation, and it was inevitable to worry about one and lose the other, which is also the fundamental reason for the defeat of both battles!
Although Cao Ying has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it lacks clever strategists-staff officers, and there are no wise generals-commanders, so it is naturally impossible to fight the Liu Bei Group, which is weak but full of talents!
"Please give an order from the Prime Minister, let Da Sima fight Liu Bei, he will definitely be able to defeat the enemy and be ashamed!"
"Both battles were defeated, and the loss of troops has affected the morale of the army, only Da Sima can turn the tide when he fights!"
…………………………
The strategists gathered around, comforting and persuading Cao Cao to take care of his health, and on the other hand, he brought up the old things again, hoping to let Xiao Yi out of the horse and solve the problem in front of him - Liu Bei Group!
After two defeats, the Cao army lost more than 50,000 horses, and countless ordnance and materials.
"The old man has been in the world for decades, seeking everything and winning the war, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Zan have been defeated one after another, a weaver and peddler, dare to compete with me?
The order went down, the whole army pulled out the camp and went to the foot of Laojun Peak, and fought to the death with the enemy, there were those who killed Liu Bei - rewarded with ten thousand gold, was named a township, and the official position was promoted to three levels, and those who captured Xu Shu and Kong Ming alive - the reward was doubled, and they must be caught alive! ”
Cao Cao pondered for a while, gritted his back molars, and twisted his thighs a few times, but still didn't accept everyone's advice, Liu Bei's power expanded, but it was just a matter of separating one side, if Xiao Yi was successful, it would sweep the whole world!
However, among the many generals in the battalion, none of them were opponents of Liu Bei and Xu Shu, so Cao Cao decided to recruit himself, but before the army set out, there was still one major thing to do - reward merit and punish crimes, and boost morale!
"In order to save the two of you who are not successful, I broke the old man and a general, you still have the face to come back, why don't you die--smack! Syllable!
From today onwards, you will be demoted to the rank of horseman in the Chinese army, eat the worst military rations, live in the worst shacks, and do the dirtiest and tiring work, so reflect on it...... Get lost! ”
The first is the punishment, Cao Cao picked up the horse whip, and beat Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen, who fled back twice, only the whip was bloody, and the clothes were in tatters, and then they were punished to be horsemen, and rushed to live in the horse pen, which was also a severe punishment!
But smart people know that the prime minister's name is punishment, but in fact he loves it, but in a special way, it can deceive many people's eyes!
Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen were defeated twice, and they also indirectly killed Gao Ran, if it was another general, their heads would have fallen to the ground a long time ago, they were just whipped, a typical felony and light punishment, not to mention letting the two of them be horsemen, it is not necessarily a bad thing!
The ancients said well: the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, and empty their bodies...... Now let Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen suffer a little, you can hone their will, stimulate their self-motivated heart, plus Cao Cao's personal training, maybe they will become great weapons in the future?
"This time the ambush was defeated, all of them were incompetent by the children of the Cao family, and they had nothing to do with General Junyi, if it weren't for the general's sacrifice of his life, I am afraid that none of the soldiers would be able to come back, but it is a pity that General Gao Ran, the old man must be generous to his relatives!"
Next is to reward the merits, Cao Cao helped Zhang He up, constantly comforted him with kind words, gave him good wine to suppress the shock, and asked people to get new armor and robes, and helped him change them with his own hands!
"The prime minister is very kind, and the last general will swear to repay him with death!"
I have to admit that Cao Cao's ability to win people's hearts is no worse than Liu Bei, Zhang He was moved to tears, kneeling on the ground and swearing to repay him with death, now even if he is allowed to break into Lao Junfeng again, he will never frown at all!
After appeasing the heroes, it was discussed to send troops for revenge, and the two defeats made everyone understand that Liu Bei's group is not easy to provoke, and must think of a foolproof strategy. ’
"The big-eared thief sent someone at this time, didn't he laugh at me and wait, or did he have some other tricks?"
"The army is about to set off for revenge, just cut off Liu Bei's messenger, and sacrifice the military flag with his head to boost the army's heart!"
……………………
Hearing that Liu Bei had sent someone, the big tent suddenly boiled, the strategists frowned, guessing the other party's intentions, the generals were furious, and some even pulled out their swords, ready to kill the messenger to vent their anger!
Cao Cao pondered a little, stopped the impulsive generals, since ancient times, the two countries have competed, not to kill the envoy, as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, must have the corresponding bearing, if he kills the envoy because of a moment of anger, and provokes the world to laugh and not say, who will dare to send Cao Ying in the future?
"Please let the messenger into the camp, greet him with drum music, and let the big-eared thief know how the old man's mind is!"
"No!"
Cao Cao sat back on the handsome seat, tidied up his clothes slightly, and his momentum changed instantly, angry, sad, and powerless...... It's all gone, and it's as steady and unfathomable again!
The civil and military ministers stood on both sides, also holding their chests up and raising their heads, showing their best mental state, and hundreds of pro-soldiers - holding steel knives and crossing each other, forming a knife corridor, even if they didn't kill the other party's envoy, they would scare him into losing his soul!
…………………………………………………………
"Da! --Da! Da! ”
A moment later, a figure walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, wearing a high crown and a white robe, holding the messenger talisman, walking under the knife corridor, like walking on the tree-lined path, it was the messenger of the big-eared Afu - Sun Qian!
Sun Qian, the word Gongyou, a native of Beihai County, when Liu Bei was in charge of Xuzhou, he became a staff member around him, and he followed him for many years, never abandoned, and the world's evaluation of him - a white-faced scholar!
White-faced scholar - there is no Wen Taowu strategy, Wang Zuozhi's talent, but he has brave loyalty, arrogance, and a pair of sharp teeth, as a messenger to travel all directions, without losing the dignity of his own lord!
Even the civil and military ministers of Cao Ying couldn't help but secretly praise it, the big-eared thief sent this messenger, it was really good demeanor and courage!
"Beihai-Sun Gongyou, on the orders of my Uncle Liu Huang, came to meet the Prime Minister-Fukang Antai, all the best!"
"Xuande Gong sent Mr. to come, didn't he repent and prepare to return to the court and surrender with court?"
"Huh! --My lord is a member of the imperial family, he has always been loyal to the Son of Heaven, inspired to eradicate traitorous ministers, and has never rebelled, so how can he talk about returning to the court? ”
"If you don't submit to obedience, what are you doing here?"
"Present something, talk about the heart!"
…………………………………………
As he spoke, Sun Qian waved his hand, and eight strong men walked into the tent, carrying a huge coffin, which was snow-white, unpainted, and smelled of fresh tree sap, apparently made from freshly cut down trees!
The lid of the coffin was hidden, and there was a corpse inside, which was Gao Ran, who had died in battle, had been wiped with clean water, and some incense was placed around to cover up the smell of the corpse, which was easy to rot in the middle of summer in August!
"General Gao's corpse! …… General Gao! ”
Seeing Gao Ran's corpse, everyone in the tent was saddened, and a sense of sadness arose for the death of a rabbit and a fox, and the eyes of the generals all fell on the knife wound, and their hearts were filled with deep fear!
Gao Ran's martial arts are exquisite, among the generals of Cao Ying, he can be ranked in the top ten, and the defense on his body is also very strong, covered with stainless steel battle armor, worn inside to cover his heart, and a layer of cowhide soft armor is close!
With such a strong defense, it is difficult for the iron spear to pierce a hole, but now it has been stabbed in two sections and the armor is completely broken.
I heard that the general who killed Gao Ran was Liu Bei's second brother - Guan Yunchang, who was born with a long red face and silkworm eyebrows and phoenix eyes, making a green dragon glaive knife, with the courage of ten thousand people!
There are also Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, the courage is not under Guan Yu, Liu Bei has such a tiger general, and Kong Ming and Xu Shu are strategists, no wonder they can divide one side and dominate the situation!
"General Gao fought hard and died on the battlefield, my lord felt his loyalty and bravery, so he returned the general's body, and within seven days, he would not send troops to attack, and after the mourning period, he would have a duel with the prime minister!"
"Xuande Gong is kind, the old man understands it, please go to the side tent to drink, and then reply to Xuande Gong - seven days later, fight to the death!"
After sending Sun Qian away, Cao Cao asked people to go to the coffin, re-entered Gao Lan, set up a spiritual shed in the camp, and made a good sacrifice, and in the name of the imperial court, posthumously called Gao Lan as a 'martyr', and gave his son 5,000 taels of gold and 3,000 households!
In order to boost morale, Cao Cao also ordered the whole army: "Sharpen your sword Huo Huo, get ready, after seven days, fight to the death, wait to cut off the head of the big-eared thief, and then let General Gao go to the ground for peace!" ”
