There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

After all the school lieutenants and military lords under his command had arrived, Cao Ren coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, the situation is critical now. Sikong's main formation is being attacked by the Jinling army. The two sides are already fighting fiercely on the river bank in front of the camp. For a long time, I came to report that the Tao merchant army is attacking fiercely, and Dazhai is in danger. As Sikong's subordinates, at this critical moment, we must not stand on the sidelines and have to send troops to rescue!"

You look at me, I look at you, most of them are speechless.

When Cao Ren selected the guards of these counties and counties, in order to prevent civil strife, he discussed with Xun Yu and sent a letter to consult. Those who came voluntarily were not used, and those who did not ask for orders were recruited by Cao Ren instead.

This strategy was indeed correct at the time, at least the soldiers in these counties were not bewitched by the pottery merchants, and they had no half-hearted intentions.

But they also have a disadvantage, that is, they have no momentum.

It's okay to stick to it, but if they attack, they will lose a lot of vigor.

After all, Cao Ren didn't dare to go to Chenliu City to summon someone who was able to attack and had the courage.

After hearing Cao Ren's question, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, all lowered their heads one after another, and no one dared to glance at him.

At such a moment, with such a sensitive issue, who would dare to speak up easily?

Seeing the appearance of these people, Cao Ren felt a little suffocated.

These bastards, who usually receive Sikong's salary and are protected by him, are now in danger, and when they are needed, they all look like this bird!

Just when Cao Ren gritted his teeth and was sullen, he saw Bao Tao stand up.

"General, Tao Jun is ready to go, and Chen Liu is related to the lifeline of the Central Plains, the general must not move lightly."

The first two times when Bao Tao refused to let Cao Ren leave the city, Cao Ren praised him a lot in his heart, but this time, it was not the case.

Cao Ren looked at him coldly: "What's the matter? General Bao thinks he shouldn't have left the city?"

When he said this, there was a distinct chill in his tone.

Cao Ren's tone was not kind, but Bao Tao's spirits lifted.

Cao Ren's performance was really different from what Guo Jia said.

In this way, Bao Tao's heart is more confident, which shows that Mr. Guo is right!

At that moment, Bao Tao cleared his throat and said to Cao Ren: "Chen Liucheng cannot be separated from the general. I am willing to ask for my order. I will go out of the city with my brother to help Sikong. I ask the general to sit in the city and keep Chen Liu alive!"

After finishing a sentence, Cao Ren was stunned.

He pondered left and right, but never expected such a situation.

Cao Ren stood up and looked at Bao Tao seriously. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Bao Zhong hurriedly said, "Brother, don't be impulsive. The Tao Shangjun are all tigers, leopards, and wolves. It's up to you and me. Who are his opponents?" ?”

After finishing speaking, Bao Zhong said to Cao Ren: "My brother was talking nonsense for a while and offended the general. Please, general, don't be as knowledgeable as him!"

When Cao Ren saw Bao Zhong's appearance, he couldn't help laughing.

They are both brothers, why is there such a big difference?

But in this way, Bao Tao's sincerity is even more apparent.

Cao Ren originally thought about going out of the city this time. If Bao Tao was allowed to defend the city, he would take Bao Zhong away. Maybe he could be taken as a hostage as a restriction.

But in the current situation, it doesn't matter.

One is that the performance of the two brothers is sincere enough, and it does not seem to be fake at all, but there is no need to make Bao Tao feel uneasy, and the other is that a waste like Bao Zhong will easily affect morale if he is taken out. Bar.

Thinking of this, Cao Ren stepped down from the main seat, patted Bao Tao on the shoulder, and said, "Good man! I never thought you would be so loyal. Sikong had to go there. No one can dissuade you from this matter."

Bao Tao hurriedly said, "But?"

Cao Ren raised his palm, interrupted him, and said, "Chen Liucheng, I decided to leave it to you brother. With you as the governor of military affairs, I will rest assured that you will guard the city. After I assist Sikong to break the pottery Come back naturally, and then I will explain the whole story to Sikong, explain the misunderstanding between the two of you and Sikong, and let Sikong use it for you!"

Bao Tao stared blankly at Cao Ren, but when he was young, he saw him clasping his fists and said to Cao Ren, "Don't worry, General, I will swear to the death to protect Chenliu City until I die!"

In this way, Cao Ren left behind Bao Tao Governor Chen Liucheng's military affairs, while he led the elite troops in the city to go out of the city to help Cao Cao.

However, Cao Ren knew very well that Cao Cao was in a hurry to be attacked by pottery merchants, so going to the main battlefield to help him might not be of great effect.

Instead, it is better to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, attack the camp of pottery merchants, cut off their way back, and then attack from both sides.

Chapter 8 Battle Cao Ren

Cao Ren left the city to Bao Tao, and he himself led Chen Liu's elite soldiers to the potter's camp.

As an important general under Cao Cao's command, Cao Ren is also one of the best at using soldiers, so he is naturally vigorous and resolute in his actions.

He made up his mind and led his troops straight to the potter's camp.

As the number one general of the Cao clan, Cao Ren naturally couldn't back down at this critical moment. He wanted to share the pressure for Cao Cao and break up the potter's attack.

A group of soldiers and horses went straight to the village of the pottery merchants, moving very fast. On the way, Cao Ren asked Cao Xiu who was behind him, "Lie, are you afraid to follow me to the Tao camp this time?"

Cao Xiu rode his horse and galloped, his young face was full of joy.

"What is this uncle talking about? Hugh was highly praised by Sikong, and he was hailed as a thousand-mile horse of the Cao family. He deserved the name and contributed to the great cause of the Cao family! Hugh said that this time he will fight with his uncle, and he is sure of victory. If you die, you will die vigorously and die well, so what is there to be afraid of?"

Cao Ren nodded in satisfaction, and said, "I'm relieved if you have this heart! Pottery merchants are not mortals, and they are full of tricks. There is no guarantee that they will not leave heavy troops in the camp. This battle is actually a crucial one. But it will also be an uphill battle.”

Cao Xiu said: "General, don't worry, I know what you mean, Xiu is ready!"

"Okay, that's it, I'm relieved!"

When he was young, Dazhai, a pottery merchant, had already appeared in the field of vision of Cao Ren and others.

Cao Ren ordered the soldiers of the three armies to stop and line up in place.

He rode his horse in front of the formation, scanning the elite soldiers behind him back and forth.

When I was young, Cao Ren raised his voice and said, "Among you people, many of you walked out of Qiao County with me. At that time, I promised myself that I would bring you back to Qiao County alive."

After a pause, Cao Ren continued: "But today, more than ten years have passed, I made a slip of the tongue, and many old brothers were lost in various states, counties, or cities of Dahan, or in the mountains and rivers. I am sorry for them. , wasted my promise back then.”

Speaking of this, Cao Ren's face straightened, and he said again: "But today, Sikong is in crisis, and we have to save him! The promises made in the past will not be fulfilled. I am sorry for you. After this battle, The general is willing to repay the words of the past with his life! To repay the old brothers who have been lost on the battlefield these years, and to comfort their heroic spirits under the Nine Springs."

At this moment, a general came out on a horse. He smiled slightly, and Wei An's body bowed slightly and said in a calm voice: "I would like to fight with the general in blood."

When the words fell, behind him, the cavalrymen of the Cao army showed a murderous look, raised their weapons high, and shouted loudly.

"Kill the enemy and serve the country!"

"I would like to fight to the end with the general!"

"Follow Lord Sikong to the death!"

Although the generals of Cao Jun looked calm, their tone of voice was full of pride, and their voices shook the sky enough to pierce clouds and crack rocks.
