Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 6 Cao Mengde sent troops to Wancheng

After everyone said a word, Cao Cao ordered: "Since no one has any objections, then this time, Yu Jin will lead Qingzhou soldiers as the front army, and Dian Wei and Zixiu will go with me."

Cao Cao didn't bring too many people with him. He had many generals, but they also had their own tasks.Cao Ren and Le Jin were stationed in Runan to wipe out the bandits in Yuzhou and the remaining forces of Yuan Shu.Xiahouyuan was in Yanzhou, and Xiahoudun was in Luoyang, so Cao Cao didn't have many people who could use them.

But Cao Cao was not afraid, he led a lot of soldiers, [-] Qingzhou soldiers alone, with a good general like Yu Jin, I believe he could easily defeat Zhang Xiu.

As for bringing Dian Wei and his son Cao Ang, Dian Wei was just in case. With such a fierce general by his side, Cao Cao could feel at ease.I heard that Zhang Xiu also had a brave general named Hu Che'er who was the champion of the three armies, and he brought Dian Wei because he was afraid that Hu Che'er would surprise his central army.

As for bringing Cao Ang, it was to train Cao Ang.

As Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang was born to inherit Cao Cao's position.

Cao Ang was intelligent and modest, and was seven or eight years older than his younger brothers. He was especially loved by Cao Cao.Cao Cao often took Cao Ang with him to teach him, and even took him with him when he went on an expedition to cultivate his abilities.

Cao Ang also lived up to Cao Cao's expectations, and his ability was extremely outstanding. When he was crowned at the age of 20, he was promoted as Xiaolian.Of course, it may be because his father is Cao Cao, but Cao Cao is not a person who protects the calf. If he wants to train Cao Ang as his successor, he must train him. If Cao Ang is not talented enough, Cao Cao will not agree.

Therefore, judging from Cao Cao's love for Cao Ang, Cao Ang is indeed excellent.Looking at his attitude towards Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Cao Chong and others later, it can be seen that Cao Cao likes sons who are virtuous and talented.

Cao Ang was also very happy to learn that his father was going to take him to fight.But he had a calm personality and didn't show it. On the contrary, his brother Cao Anmin was very excited.

Cao Anmin is Cao Cao's nephew, because Cao Cao gave birth to a son Cao Shuo within seven or eight years after giving birth to Cao Ang, but because Mrs. Liu had a difficult delivery when Cao Shuo was born, Cao Cao didn't like Cao Shuo.

The ancients paid attention to many sons and many blessings. Cao Cao had only two sons in recent years, and he didn't like one of them, so he took Cao Anmin with him to raise him.

"Zixiu, I will make a great contribution to my uncle's crusade against Wancheng, in order to repay my uncle's many years of teaching!" Cao Anmin said gratefully.

Cao Ang shook his head gently, "You have good intentions, but Wancheng is not as dangerous as Xuchang. The war is more dangerous. You should pay more attention and don't be careless."

Cao Anmin said indifferently: "Zixiu is worrying too much, Zhang Xiu has only ten thousand soldiers, two or three generals, I am afraid they are not the opponents of Yu Wenze."

Cao Ang laughed, "Yu Wenze is indeed a good general, not an ordinary general!"

The movements of Cao Cao's army were quickly detected by Zhang Xiu. He said to Jia Xu: "Cao Cao is definitely not a kind person here. How should I retreat from the enemy?"

Jia Xu took a look at Zhang Xiu and said, "General Zhang Xian can lead his troops to fortify the river and prevent Cao's army from crossing the river."

Zhang Xiu nodded. The terrain of Nanyang County is flat. Apart from Jiancheng, there is no such favorable location as the Fieshui River.If you can't stop Cao Cao in Yushui, you can only stick to Wancheng and Rangcheng for a long time.

Zhang Xian is a general under Zhang Xiu's command and a member of the Zhang Xiu clan.He had been a general in charge of the army as early as Zhang Ji's period. When Zhang Ji died, his official position was much higher than that of Zhang Xiu. If he hadn't had no intention of fighting for it, it would have been very difficult for Zhang Xiu to take over the power.

With such a veteran around, Zhang Xiu was very relieved.He directly asked Zhang Xian to take the troops of his headquarters to defend in the water.

Zhang Yi was also dispatched to Zhang Xian's subordinates. After several months of promotion, his riding and shooting ability has been greatly improved.Riding and archery, the main improvement is horse riding and archery. Now he can manipulate the horse freely like a warrior who has been riding for many years. With only two legs, he can gallop the horse wildly, and he can also perform various difficult moves , such as catching up with a galloping horse, then jumping on it, and then jumping off from the other side.

The ability of archery has been greatly improved, not only horseback shooting, but also footstep shooting, even more accurate than horseback shooting.

Because when he was in Rangcheng, Zhang Yi was promoted because he killed the enemy, and now he has become a general. Of course, he has no soldiers.According to the law of the Han Dynasty, there were twenty nobles before being named a marquis, and the first ten or so nobles basically killed one person to advance to a higher level.So it is very convenient to increase the title in the early stage.But it is a bit difficult to promote the position, because the competition is too fierce, if you want to be promoted and gain real power, you need not only military merits, but also the favor of the superior.

Zhang Yi was obviously not favored by Zhang Xiu. He had a bad impression on Zhang Xiu. Although Zhang Xiu didn't know that Zhang Ji's death was due to Zhang Yi, he still remembered Zhang Yi's clumsy appearance.Fortunately, Zhang Xiu gave Zhang Yi a lot of property for the sake of his relatives, so that he could easily survive in Wancheng.

Zhang Yi followed Zhang Xian to Feishui. As expected, Zhang Xian had rich experience in marching. He found a high ground on the edge of Feishui and set up camp.

However, the opponent Zhang Xian faced was much more sophisticated than Zhang Xian.

Yu Jin, later known as the five good generals, if he hadn't had the stain of surrendering to Guan Yu, he would definitely be among the top.He is the second good general of the five sons who defected to Cao Cao. The first was Le Jin, who defected to Cao Cao during the period of seeking Dong.

Yu Jin defected to Cao Cao when he was attacking the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, and he was sure to win every battle. Although there were weak chickens like the Yellow Turban, there were also generals under Yuan Shu, and he even defeated Gao Shun.Moreover, Yu Jin is good at training soldiers. Qingzhou Soldiers were adapted from Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and belonged to soldiers in the army.But Yu Jin has trained these soldiers to be elite all the time, and they are very famous in history.

Yu Jin naturally knew that Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses might set up defenses in the Fei River, so he had already sent people to cross the river first.You must know that it will take time for the news of Cao Cao's army to spread from Xuchang to Wancheng. Yu Jin took advantage of this time difference to let some people cross the river and hide them in a hidden place.

When Cao Cao's army arrived at the place where the river was crossed, these hidden soldiers came out from their hiding places, drove out Zhang Xian's cavalry, formed a battle formation using the terrain, and covered the large army to cross the river.

When Zhang Xian received the news, he also felt helpless when he saw the tens of thousands of troops who had crossed the river.He only has more than 3000 people, and with more than 3000 people to attack, he has already prepared tens of thousands of people. He is simply courting death.

In desperation, Zhang Xian had no choice but to withdraw to Wancheng. While withdrawing troops, he also sent someone to notify Zhang Xiuzao to make preparations.
