Chapter Eighty-Eight: Pacifying the World
The tiger prison is closed, and the tiger and the dragon coat of arms are accompanied by the swallow character to hunt in the wind. On the city gate, the spears of the soldiers with Yan's iron-clad armor are like a forest, bundles of arrows are piled up on the female wall, and the two sides of the city wall are full of ordnance to defend the city. Obviously, Xu Huang's view of the battle situation is much more serious than Yanbei's, and he is fully prepared to defend the tiger prison.
Because outside the Tiger Prison Pass, the big camp that was tearing the ground belonged to Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao, as well as the thousands of soldiers and horses he brought. There were very conspicuous siege weapons between the camps, and the upside-down ladders and rushing carts all meant that Yanzhou Mu, who had defeated Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, had made full plans to attack the Tiger Prison.
"Have you seen Cao Cao?" Standing on the Tiger Prison Gate, Yanbei's hometown revisited, obviously in a good mood, said to Dian Wei on his side, seeing Dian Wei nodding Yan Bei said clearly: "That's right, in the past, you were under Zhang Mengzhuo, and Cao Mengde took refuge in Chenliu for a long time...... Now, he's there, that's him, right? Cao Mengde. ”
Yanbei hadn't seen Cao Cao for many years, but looking at the figure in the iron-clad robe from the chariot in the military formation from a distance, Yanbei could still feel that it was the often defeated general who was coldly looked down upon back then, and now the winning general, Yanzhou Mu, Fenwu general, Cao Cao.
Dian Wei looked in the direction pointed by Yan Bei, but he was not so familiar with Cao Cao, even if he saw Cao Cao back then, he was looking at it from a distance, and he did not talk or even get acquainted with him. It was still too difficult for Dian Wei to recognize the figure four hundred steps away based on a hasty impression from many years ago, he just said: "Back then, the story of General Cao's 8,000 soldiers and horses, and the crime of scolding Kong Yuanjun in Sour Jujube, spread among the coalition army, and his subordinates admired General Cao a lot. ”
"Meng De, a very powerful person, his political measures in Yanzhou, and his tactics to defeat Yuan Shu Lu Bu." Yan Bei said, staring at the figure under the chariot in the distance. He knows a lot about Cao Cao, it can be said that the Kwantung princes after Dong Zhuo, they have been able to live until now, they have all watched each other grow up, and Cao Cao's changes, about except for Yuan Shao, the most vocal is Yanbei, "He is very resilient, the more adversity, the more strength he has." ”
When he was fighting Dong, Cao Cao, who was defeated by Xu Rong, was exhausted, but what he wanted in his mind was not to save his strength and seek development, but to immediately borrow troops to fight back
…… This person's revenge psychology can be seen how strong. And Cao Cao himself, not only responded to what Yan Bei said, the more powerful he is in adversity, but also the stronger he is, the worse it is.
Before taking Yanzhou, Cao Cao won the hearts of the people, and there were even more people in the state to help. But after getting Yanzhou, even Zhang Miao, who was closest to him, betrayed him, and I have to say that this is a weakness in his character.
Headwinds can resist, tailwinds can waves.
Yan Bei waved his hand nonchalantly as he spoke, and said to Xu Huang: "Open the city gate, it's time to meet your old friends." ”
Dian Wei nodded on the side, walked down the city wall first to gather his subordinates, and six hundred guards rode out of the city first, and with Dian Wei's order to open the crossbow from outside the suspension bridge and shoot out a hundred steps away, and then the foot cavalry lined up in formation.
Cao Cao's side saw that the gate of the Tiger Prison was open, and he also lined up his cavalry, shot a hundred steps with his head raised with an arrow, and then stood on the side of the arrow. The two sides are in a circle, and there is a gap of 100 paces in the middle, which is a place where neither crossbowman can shoot.
Such an arrangement makes people more assured.
The soldiers were followed by two or three sergeants from each side who walked out of the line to the center to arrange tables, couches, wine and food. Since both of them are princes, and the war is imminent, both wine and food are prepared for each other, and the double plan is a few steps away, and each sits opposite each other with his back to his own formation.
At this time, Yan Bei walked out of the formation with a confident smile surrounded by warriors with a large shield, and beside him was Dian Wei, who was covered in armor.
And Cao Cao also walked out of the car battle under the protection of his subordinate brave generals, and bowed his hands to Yanbei across the case, and said: "General Zhongqing, don't come unharmed." ”
"General Mengde, I haven't seen you for a few years, at least you and I are doing well." I haven't seen them for many years, and they are not Zhongqing and Meng De back then, which is really embarrassing. Even behind his back, Yan Bei also drove Lu Bu to do something very bad to Cao Cao, which made Yan Bei feel a little ashamed in his heart when he looked at the Yanzhou Mu in front of him who had added wind and frost to his face compared to the black dwarf of the year, and bowed his hand and said: "Ask Dong to say goodbye, and we have to see each other." ”
It's been a long time since I asked Dong to say goodbye. Cao Cao sat down slowly, Yan Bei's words made him can't help but recall the last meeting with Yan Bei, and said with a long sigh: "When I was drunk, I lost my words, but I didn't expect it to lead to the general's battle with Gongsun and Yuan, but fortunately, the general won." ”
When they said goodbye to each other last time they met, Cao Cao drank too much wine, and lost his words to inform Yanbei that Yuan Shao wanted to fight for Jizhou. However, after following Guo Jia's strategy, he stirred up the Yuan clan and the Gongsun clan to attack, and later waited for Yanbei to enter Jizhou, and he was already fully prepared to break Gongsun, expel the Yuan family, and become the lord of Jizhou.
And Yanbei sent Cao Cao 2,700 pawns when he left, as the cornerstone of the battle for Yanzhou...... With a drink and a peck, they can be said to have fulfilled each other.
"The original blame is self-inflicted, not to mention that I and Bergui will have a battle sooner or later, and that is not Mengde's fault." Yan Bei said, picked up the wine bottle and congratulated Cao Cao, and only after drinking it did he ask: "I took in Zhang Mengzhuo and Lu Fengxian, you won't blame me." ”
What can Cao Cao say? He just put down his wine glass and shook his head, "As a farewell to Zhongqing that day, Cao Mou once said that the situation in Yanzhou was chaotic, but fortunately Meng Zhuo and Yuncheng helped. To this day, I feel deeply unfathomable. ”
Bao Xin, the hero of the first generation, died at the hands of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but his best friend in his early years betrayed him, if he said that this would not bring Cao Cao a blow, it was a fool's dream.
However, Cao Cao didn't say much along Yanbei on this topic, and asked as soon as he spoke: "Why don't Zhong Qing open the tiger prison, and you and I will enter the court together?" ”
Yanbei wanted to laugh, but he didn't laugh, he just sighed and said: "Meng De, I remember that you said that you wanted to be the general of the Han Dynasty in the past, go back, do a good job of Yanzhou Mu's part, and in the future, you will go to crusade against Ma Teng and Han Sui, and when the world is calm, you will attack the countries of the Western Regions, reopen the Western Regions, and subdue Xidi." ”
Yan Bei's Gu talked about him left and right, which made Cao Cao feel disappointed, but what he didn't expect was that after saying this, Yan Bei picked up the wine bottle and saluted him from afar, and walked towards the tiger prison without looking back.
Cao Cao's face was a little ugly, obviously Yanbei would not let him pass through the Tiger Prison, he asked loudly, "What about you?" ”
Yan Bei was about to enter the military formation at this time, and when he heard this, he turned around and raised his finger to the sky and said, "I'll go to level the world!" ”
