Chapter 540 The Prestige of a Famous General
To put it simply, Cao Cao sent the combination of Zhang Liao, Cao Xiu and Man Chong to behead Wang Ji and Shi Bao and receive more than [-] soldiers and horses under their command.

Among the more than [-] soldiers and horses, half are veterans who have experienced battles, and the rest of the soldiers are not weak.

If these soldiers and horses can be swallowed up, even with Cao Cao's current power, he can be greatly improved.

As for the two famous officials Wang Ji and Shi Bao, Cao Cao has already heard their names.

as normal.

With Cao Cao's talent-loving character, he can even tolerate Zhang Xiu who killed his own son, and he will definitely let Wang Ji and Shi Bao go.
But right now is not the norm.

After reading the history books, the Cao clan and Xiahou clan headed by Cao Cao developed extreme hatred for Sima Yi, especially Cao Mao, the fourth emperor of Cao Wei, who was ordered to kill Sima Yi in the street by Jia Chong.

It has become an unprecedented situation in thousands of years of history that the emperor was killed in the street.

Moreover, it is shameless for the Sima family to usurp the power of Cao Wei. Cao Wei's country is at least the result of Cao Cao's hard work, although it has a bad reputation for replacing the Han Dynasty.

But no one can say that Cao Pi is a thief who usurped the country, and treat him as a treacherous and powerful minister of the Han Dynasty.In the eyes of many people, Cao Wei has his own destiny.

In the Jin Dynasty, Sima Yi and his son were trusted by the successive monarchs of Cao Wei, and Sima Yi was still an important minister of Cao Pi and Cao Rui. Such important ministers finally usurped the power of Cao Wei...

Therefore, the infamy and black spots on his body can't be washed away no matter how much he washes.Before the Western Jin Dynasty, all dynasties ruled the world with loyalty and filial piety.

In the Western Jin Dynasty, it became "Fu Wei Sheng Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety".Killing the emperor in the street has no face to mention the word loyalty anymore.

In the later dynasties, if a certain minister in the court was called Cao Cao or Wang Mang, the other party might not be in trouble.

But if you call the other party Sima Yi, then the other party will definitely die.

There are no exceptions.

Even the monarchs of later generations were so wary of "Sima Yi". Cao Cao, who promoted the real Sima Yi, was even more resentful when he knew that the country he had finally conquered was usurped by the other party.

As long as the courtiers who follow Sima Yi, especially those who were originally Cao Wei courtiers but later became the founding fathers of the Western Jin Dynasty, Cao Cao has only one word, that is to kill!

Besides Shi Bao and Wang Ji, the heads hanging outside include Shi Bao's son Shi Chong.

Shi Chong, who once made his fortune by intercepting and killing wealthy businessmen in history, and fought with Wang Kai for wealth, now also became the soul of Cao Xiu.

The purpose of Zhang Liao's trip this time has been achieved.

Next, they only need to return to Bozhou with these soldiers and horses, but at this time, the Huai army began to attack the Shouchun area.

"The Huai army broke through the Xincheng military stronghold... I remember that military stronghold had [-] troops, but it was defeated so quickly. It seems that the strength of the Huai army cannot be underestimated!"

Cao Xiu frowned.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and another messenger came rushing.

"Report, Huai army cavalry rushed to attack our army's Qingshi military camp, General Zhao Xiong was killed by the enemy general, and the military camp was destroyed!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao immediately stood up, and looked for the location of the Qingshi military stronghold on the map hanging behind his back... Soon he found it. The area of ​​this military stronghold was smaller than that of the Xincheng military stronghold.

But the geographical location is dangerous, and behind it is the land of the army, which has stockpiled a lot of food and grass.

After this military stronghold was breached, a hole was forcibly torn out of the Wei army's peripheral defense system.

"Have you ever found out the history of the enemy?"

Man Chong asked from the side.

The courier shook his head. The opponent's assault was too fast, and the military stronghold was destroyed too quickly. Basically, the sentries and soldiers could not escape the pursuit of the Huai army cavalry.

He has done his best to send back the battle report quickly.

Cao Xiu's face was gloomy and cold, "The Huai army is so arrogant, if they make an inch of it, isn't the purpose of our trip to be destroyed by those thieves?"

"I'm going to order [-] elite soldiers to go out in person, destroy the vanguard of the Huai army first, and dampen their spirit!"

Cao Xiu was loyal to Cao Cao and took Cao Cao's order as the highest instruction. Seeing that the mission given to him by the lord was about to fail due to the Huai army's attack, he couldn't bear it anymore.

The anger is raging, and he wants to give the Huai army vanguard a big blow.

Man Chong thought for a while and said: "I think it's okay. If the Huai army's spirit is not frustrated, the opponent will definitely attack continuously. We have just mastered the military power of this army, but the morale of the army is still unstable, and we must rectify it for a certain period of time... "

when they speak.

Zhang Liao looked at the map in thought, and raised his head after a while, "General, don't act rashly. Before we know the enemy general's information, we may encounter accidents if we attack rashly..."

He read the battle report sent back by the messenger. Among them, the Huai army who attacked the two military strongholds was nothing more than a thousand cavalry.

Being able to break through the two strongholds in a row with this little force shows that the enemy generals are extremely powerful.

He had a premonition in his heart that the vanguard generals sent by Duke Huai must not be unknown people.

"Attack rashly? If we just watch the army stronghold being breached without taking action, how will the morale of the army be maintained?"

Cao Xiu said in a deep voice.

Zhang Liao waved his hand with a firm look on his face. He maintained his opinion and firmly disagreed with Cao Xiu's sending troops.

Cao Xiu was obviously a little angry, but after taking a few breaths, he snorted coldly and sat down obediently.

Now on Cao Wei's side, Zhang Liao, the ninth-ranked star who can stand alone, has surpassed Cao Xiu and Cao Chun in Cao Cao's heart, and can be compared with Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan.

He is no longer known as the number one foreign general of Cao Wei in history, but he has never led tens of thousands of soldiers.

Even Cao Xiu, who is known as the relative of Cao Wei, has to show respect to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao's worries were not without reason.

Half an hour later, another battle report came. Hundreds of cavalry who acted as the vanguard of the Huai army captured a military stronghold again... At the same time as the news came, there were two other important military reports.

The first is that the identity of the Huai Army vanguard has been confirmed.

The pioneer was Shi Wansui, the famous founding general of the Sui Dynasty in history, a real ninth-rank powerhouse.

When knowing the identity and strength of the other party.

Cao Xiu immediately silenced his flags and drums, and had the same thought in his heart as Zhao Chu, the guard of the Xincheng Military Village. The Huai Army is really shameless, and they are the first to attack the military village guarded by ordinary soldiers.

"Shi Wansui... This person's name will go down in history, and his bravery is unsurpassed. Even if I am, I may not be his opponent!"

Zhang Liao frowned.

His thoughts are deeper, and the ninth-rank general will act as the vanguard... Isn't the chief general of the Huai army even more powerful?Those who can suppress the powerhouses of the ninth rank must also be the strong ones.

The two ninth ranks teamed up, and a hint of danger suddenly appeared in Zhang Liao's heart.

Just as he pondered in his heart how to deal with the current situation.

The second important military situation is sent.

The camp of the navy of the Wei army was breached by the navy of the Huai army. Tens of thousands of sailors and one or two hundred warships were burned.

 Four more tomorrow. . .
