Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

Cao Cao said with a smile on his face: "I used to only hear Bokang's name, so I admired him for his scriptures. Now I see Bokang's talent is unmatched. I will thank Bokang for his great kindness next time." .”

Xu Ding said with a smile: "Meng De is welcome. You and I, Cao and Xu, are neighbors in the same village. We have friendship with each other and visit other places. It is common practice to help each other. What's more, we are both in the imperial court, for the great man, and for the common people. For the sake of the country, there is no need to say thank you."

"Hahaha, Bokang, let's go, let's talk about wine today, we must have a good time." Cao Cao's affection for Xu Ding increased greatly, and Xu Ding's words really suited his appetite.

The people were not hypocritical, gathered up the soldiers and horses, and then entered Xihua City.

There are a lot of things in the city, and there are enough drinks. After celebrating, Cao Cao nodded in admiration and envy after hearing Xu Ding's achievements along the way.

"So following Bokang, I can lie down and earn military merits." Cao Cao joked, and then said:

"Bokang has something I want to say, but I'm embarrassed."

Xu Dingmi narrowed his eyes, raised his glass and said, "Since Meng De is embarrassed, it's best not to say it. After all, the army brought by Meng De is the northern army of the imperial court, and it is easy to cause discomfort in the army if he makes his own opinions. It is not as free as my Donglai County soldiers. .”

"What Bokang reminded me was that I was fucking Meng Lang."

It turned out that Cao Cao wanted to transfer Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun to his subordinates to lead the army to fight, so that his troops would also have strong generals to use.

But just as Xu Ding said, the troops he brought were the standard troops set by the imperial court long ago, adding cronies randomly would easily cause dissatisfaction in the army.

Xu Ding's Donglai army is dominated by Xu Ding. He holds the ownership and can be regarded as a semi-private armed force. He can recruit soldiers at will.

"By the way, Meng De, why are you here?" Xu Ding asked curiously.

Others were also very puzzled, how did Cao Cao come to Xihua City.

It stands to reason that he came out of Luoyang to support Huangfusong and Zhu Jun.

When mentioning this matter, Cao Cao let out a long sigh:

"Bokang, you don't know that I was originally ordered to support the Changsha, but I received the news of Dasheng just after I left the customs and entered Yingchuan.

When I arrived at Changshe, the two generals had already led their troops south to attack Zhaoling, and then I received an order from General Huangfu to let me go south from Weishui on the eastern front to seize Xihua.

Unexpectedly, I was surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army as soon as I arrived in Xihua City. Fortunately, you showed up in time, otherwise everything would be over. "

"So that's the case. In this way, the main force of Peng Tuo's Yellow Turban Army should not have attacked Ruyang, but instead went to a decisive battle with the main force of the imperial army." Only then did Xu Ding understand some of the situation.

But Cao Cao went on to say, "I don't know the situation of the Yellow Turban Bandits. I don't know if they all went to Zhaoling."

Yuan Shaosheng was afraid that Xu Ding would change the direction of his march, so he hurriedly said:

"Since this is the case, let's go to Ruyang first tomorrow. After solving the danger of Ruyang, we will make a detour to Zhaoling, so that we can surround the main force of the Yellow Turban."

Cao Cao looked at Xu Ding, Xu Ding's army has combat effectiveness, he must follow Xu Ding to act together, otherwise he is afraid that he will not be the opponent of the Yellow Turban Army.

Xu Ding thought for a while, and half-jokingly said: "It's okay, let's go to Ruyang first, I was here to help Ruyang, if I changed my route halfway, I'm afraid I wouldn't agree to send troops at the beginning, and I won't get [-] million yuan to send troops Fee."

Cao Cao laughed out loud, and Yuan Shao also chuckled with embarrassment.

Xu Ding became obsessed with reminding him to remember to pay, otherwise it will be widely advertised and everyone in the world will know.

At that time, the reputation of the Yuan family will definitely drop!

Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Withdraw ten miles first (new year plus update)

The next day the army marched towards Ruyang.

Sure enough, as expected, the number of Yellow Turbans who besieged Ruyang was much less. Basically, the Yellow Turbans in Runan were constantly attacking, and Peng Tuo's [-] main force did not come.

However, there are nearly [-] yellow scarves gathered outside the city, which is still scary in terms of numbers.

"Bokang, there are so many yellow scarves here, how do we deal with them? Should we learn from you when you were outside the city of Changshe, lure and annihilate some of them first, and then destroy most of them." Cao Cao is well versed in the art of war, And it will be used quickly.

Xu Ding shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work this time. The Yellow Turbans here are obviously determined to win Ruyang City. If they can't pose a threat to them, they won't divide their troops, but will intensify their offensive momentum."

Yuan Shao said: "Then we will forcefully attack the rear, let the Yellow Turbans here see our strength, and then cooperate with the soldiers and horses of Ruyang City to surround and kill the Yellow Turbans. As long as the Donglai soldiers can defeat the Yellow Turbans, we will be able to cover up and pursue them."

Xu Ding glanced at Yuan Shao meaningfully, then turned his head to look at Ruyang City.

"I can understand your desire to relieve Ruyang City at the beginning, but you have to remember that I promise to bring Donglai soldiers and horses here. Although I am a famous teacher, and you are willing to pay, but I I will not exchange the lives of my soldiers for those cold copper rust things

In my Xu Ding's eyes, these soldiers who have gone through life and death are my brothers and my robes. They cannot be exchanged for benefits. They come out with me. Take responsibility for them. "Xu Ding taught bluntly.

Cao Cao was thoughtful, Xu Ding's words inspired him a lot

It seems to have discovered the unusualness of Xu Ding's personality charm.

This is a place worth learning for him.

Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei and others all clenched their fists, secretly excited, their hearts surging.

On the contrary, Yuan Shao blushed a little, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart, feeling that Xu Ding was a bit on the line.

The life and death of ordinary soldiers, who will call them, these are all things that can be discarded at will.

Xu Ding's words are so high-sounding, isn't it too much.

"What is Bokang going to do?" Cao Cao saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere. It seemed that the relationship between Xu Ding and the Yuan family was not as good as imagined.

And this trip to Ruyang is also a bit weird.

Xu Ding replied calmly: "Raise the flag, tell Ruyang City that our army is coming, and let them prepare; at the same time, wait until it gets dark, and our army will retreat ten miles after dark."

"What kind of tactics is this? Why does our army have to retreat after dark?" Yuan Shao became a little anxious when he heard that Xu Ding was going to retreat.

Xu Ding replied in a cold voice: "This is called advancing by retreating. Let's see how the enemy reacts. In short, a strong attack is impossible."

Xu Ding left after speaking, he was too lazy to explain so much to Yuan Shao.

The army is his own, and he does not need to ask him for instructions on how to fight.

Seeing that Xu Ding turned around and ignored him, Yuan Shao left, grabbed Cao Cao and asked, "Meng De, what do you think Xu Bokang is going to do? The situation in Ruyang is critical, why do you have to retreat when you just came here?"

"Bokang's intention is obvious, that is to tell Ruyang that there are reinforcements outside the city, let them stand up, don't mess up the situation, and inspire the hearts of the soldiers and the people in Ruyang." Cao Cao paused and said:

"Bokang used retreat as his advance, and the Yellow Turban had three reactions. One was to give up the siege and attack us. In this way, Ruyang's crisis was solved, and we strategically completed the task we came here.

The second is that the Yellow Turbans ignore us, despise us, and still attack Ruyang fiercely, so that our army can attack at night and defeat the enemy.

The third is that part of the Yellow Turbans was set up to guard against us, and they were worried that we would attack at night. The whole army must be on guard. The Yellow Turban bandits are mostly civilians. Without much training, they have been in a state of nervous vigilance for a long time, and it is inevitable to attack the city the next day. If it is greatly discounted, Ruyang City will not have the possibility of falling.

Therefore, Bokang's strategy is used very well, and he can achieve strategic support without wasting any energy. It is really worth thinking about and studying! "

Cao Cao's admiration made Yuan Shao a little confused.
