Blood debts and blood repayment, blood for blood, two huge banners with black characters on a white background held high and in front of the battle, 150,000 Cao soldiers, their eyes were full of murderous aura looking at the city wall, murderous aura rose to the sky, and was watched by 150,000 people, a total of 300,000 eyes dissatisfied with killing intent, Ji Ling and the others, all gasped.
"General, General, it doesn't look good."
Li Feng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, it was not that he was too timid, but that this scene was too scary, and no one could not waver in the eyes of 150,000 people full of murderous intent.
"Hmph, what's there to panic about, the number of Cao's army is only 150,000, they are coming, and the general will punish them all in front of Sour Jujube City!"
Although he was equally effectively panicked in his heart, Ji Ling was able to be appointed by Yuan Shu as the general of the unified army, and he still had the ability, after these words, Li Feng and other generals thought of the 250,000 troops stationed in Sujube, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and broke free from the coercion brought by the Cao army just now.
"General, despite this, the morale of the soldiers is still a little low, according to the last general, it is better to lead the troops out of the city, rub the sharpness of the Cao army, and at the same time improve the morale of our soldiers."
After Li Feng said his thoughts, before Ji Ling could reply, Lei Shu on the side said with an opposing face: "No, although there are many people in our army, most of them are recruits who have not seen training, on the other hand, the Cao army, although the number is twice as small as our army, but they are all soldiers who can fight well, once they go out of the city and lose the help of the city wall, the defeat rate of our army will be greatly increased, absolutely not!" ”
was refuted by Lei Shu, a general with more qualifications than himself, in front of all the soldiers, Li Feng's face was not good-looking, his face was gloomy, and he said sarcastically: "Hmph, then according to what you say." In the face of 150,000 Cao troops, my 250,000 troops not only did not go out of the city to fight, but they had to defend the city to the death! ”
"Exactly, General. The ancients were exhausted by the clouds in one go, and the Cao army was in the stage of one drum at this time, and in the face of this, our army must avoid its edge and wait until the Cao army lost under the city. The morale will inevitably weaken, on the other hand, the morale of our army will inevitably rise, and when the time comes, our army will have a great chance of victory! ”
"Say no more! The general has made up his mind, sent troops, and fought with Cao's army! ”
Lei Shu's words are indeed good words, if you follow Lei Shu's strategy, the final result is likely to be as Lei Shu said, but Ji Ling. But he refused directly, which made Lei Shu look at Ji Ling in surprise and disbelief and asked loudly: "General, why!?" ”
"As General Li said, my 250,000 army faced Cao's 150,000 army, not only was he unwilling to go out of the city to fight, but he held the city to the death, what do you think the main guild thinks!"
Ji Ling actually had considerations in his heart, although he understood that Lei Shu's strategy was undoubtedly very correct, but in the same way, the pressure from Yuan Shu. and the ** in his heart, but he finally decided to send troops to fight Cao Jun.
Yuan Shu, compared to his brother Yuan Shao, can be described as useless, not only irritable and self-righteous. is even a person who is in a hurry to achieve success, and he has not received the news that Ji Ling led the army to besiege Chen Du or defeat Cao Cao in the past half a month, which has already made Yuan Shu dissatisfied.
This is not only because Ji Ling's speed is too slow, but more importantly, there is almost no progress in half a month. Yuan Shu, who thought he could calm Cao Cao as quickly as thunderbolt at the beginning, felt bluster.
If it weren't for the fact that Ji Ling was the most capable of fighting under his command, Yuan Shu would have sent someone to escort him back to Nanyang to ask for the crime, but even if it wasn't, in recent days, one after another reprimands from Nanyang have undoubtedly brought a lot of pressure to Ji Ling.
The pressure brought by Yuan Shu is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is Cao Cao who leads the Cao army at this time, if he Ji Ling can capture Cao Cao, then this credit is great, it can be said that it is the sky.
What's more, although most of the 250,000 Yuan Shu soldiers were recruits who had not undergone much training, there were still 50,000 elite soldiers.
In Ji Ling's opinion, 50,000 elite soldiers can at least block 50,000 Cao troops, and by that time there are only 100,000 Cao troops left, and Ji Ling does not believe that the remaining 200,000 Yuan Shu troops will not be able to defeat the remaining 100,000 Cao troops.
Once the 150,000 Cao army is defeated, all of them are killed or even captured, then the entire Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou will be in chaos, and Yanzhou will also completely lose the ability to resist, and at the same time, the pressure brought by Yuan Shu's side will inevitably be greatly reduced.
Although Lei Ji's strategy is good, it is really not in the interests of Ji Ling, the two sides get along with different positions, saying that the things considered are different, so that Lei Ji said that the plan proposed by Ji Ling could not be approved by Ji Ling from the beginning.
After Ji Ling had already made up his mind in his heart, he didn't look at the thunder book with anger and disappointment on his face, turned around and strode down the city tower, except for leaving five thousand Yuan Shu soldiers to defend the sour dates, the rest of the more than 200,000 Yuan Shu soldiers were taken out by Ji Ling and prepared to fight with the Cao army.
"Lord, Ji Ling really led the troops out of the city."
Seeing that the gate of the sour jujube city was wide open, and more than 200,000 Yuan Shu soldiers ran out quickly in an orderly manner, and set up a defensive army formation, Cao Cao smiled and said to Cao Ren on the side: "I think those are the elite soldiers in the Yuan army, and they are indeed worthy of their elite name, Zixiao, calling people to shout, reprimanding Ji Ling and Yuan Shu, and committing the following crimes, it is a great rebellion, and he actually led troops to attack the place where the Son of Heaven is located!" ”
"No!"
Not long after Cao Ren hugged his fists and received the order, a Cao sergeant rode a war horse and came to the front of the battlefield, shouting: "Ji Ling, as a Han minister, not only does your lord not want to serve the court, but he is rebellious, leading the army to rebel and attack the Son of Heaven, and Ru Ji Ling even ordered the looting of sour dates, like you and your lord, disloyal and unrighteous people, dare to live in the world with face!" "It's worthy of what you wrote, Wenhe, it really didn't disappoint me."
That remark, of course, could not be that Cao Sergeant could have come up with, the initiator of this remark was actually Jia Xu, for Cao Cao's praise, Jia Xu smiled and arched his hand: "The lord has a good reputation, and his humble position is just to tell the truth." ”
Old fox, so thick-skinned!
Some thin-skinned people, such as Lu Su, Fu Zhu, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, etc., all twitched the corners of their mouths, and they admired Jia Xu's ability to talk nonsense with his eyes open. (To be continued.) )
