In the end, there was an undercurrent in the imperial court, all relying on the deterrence of the father, those talents dare not make trouble, but if the hidden worries are not eliminated, it will become a serious disaster, and the father left Xuchang just to see who would jump out to rebel, so as to cleanse the court Tang, rule out dissidents! "

Looking in the direction of the court, Cao Cao sneered, "How powerful are these clowns, you can get rid of them with a flick of your fingers, but there is one more thing I didn't say, I went out to observe the soldiers, and I also took the opportunity to exercise With the talents of several sons, let's see who is the Qianlong of the Cao family?"

"Father is a wise man in the world. He controls the court, intimidates the officials, and controls the heroes. There is no one in the world who can compare, and a child is difficult!" Cao Pi knelt down on the ground and paid respects. A sense of powerlessness, with such a strong father, I am afraid I will never be able to surpass it!

"Hehe, my son, don't underestimate yourself, at least in terms of appearance, you are far better than a father!" Looking at his son's handsome face, and touching his own old face, Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed, "A great hero may not necessarily be a handsome man!" ah!"

After a few days of preparation, Cao Cao left his second son, Cao Pi, to sit in Xuchang. Yu, and his third son Cao Zhi, under the escort of the 'Tiger and Leopard Riders', marched towards Yanjin in mighty strength!

Leave one son, take one son, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Cao Cao is choosing an heir, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, who is the next head of the Cao family, it is hard to say, the one who takes away may not be valued, and the one who stays may not be despised, or even despised. There is a possibility that the two sons are smoke, just to confuse the eyes of the world. The real Qianlong is still growing up carefree in the prime minister's mansion. Who can guess what the traitor is thinking?

However, there are some things that must be planned ahead. Many officials have taken action, arranging family elite children, some of whom are recommended to Cao Pi to serve in the prime minister's mansion, and some of them follow Cao Zhi to go out together for inspection.

Seeing this situation, Cao Cao just smiled, did not stop or interfere, and let it develop naturally. When his sons grow up, they should have their own stage and display their talents. As for the real heir in his heart, I am afraid only God knows. Take a step, look at a step!

"woo woo woo woo!"

"The Prime Minister is on patrol, and if the common people have grievances, they can report it immediately, and there will be no exceptions!"

"Your Excellency, the prime minister, is on tour. People in the world have skills. They can recommend themselves, and they will definitely be hired!"

................................................

Different from the simple and unpretentious way of marching in the past, Cao Cao put on a full posture this time, took out a full set of the prime minister's guard of honor, led the way with iron cavalry, surrounded by armored soldiers, a team of tens of thousands of people, with banners flying for more than ten miles, drums The sound of the trumpet is endless, which is not much inferior to that of the Son of Heaven patrolling hunting!

Everywhere he went, Cao Cao would summon officials to inquire about the conditions of the people, and sometimes he would bring his son to visit local Confucian scholars and famous scholars, discuss government affairs, and select talents. Leaving the nest!

…………………………………………………………………………

Hebei-Yecheng, upon hearing the news of Cao Cao's tour, Yuan Shao summoned important ministers overnight, Tian Feng, Jushou, Xu You, Guo Tu came one after another, the eldest son Yuan Tan also came, and everyone sat in the secret room to discuss countermeasures!

"Cao thief left Xuchang and went to Yanjin to observe the soldiers. There must be deceit in it. Could it be that he took advantage of my emptiness to plan for the land of Hebei?" Yuan Shao looked worried. Being pinned down in the Xiliang battlefield is equivalent to tying an arm. It is not good for you to start a war at this time!

"My lord, don't worry, this is just Cao's 'bluffing' plan. The locust plague in the Central Plains has just passed, and the people are exhausted. Cao's bandit is going to support the Xiliang battlefield again, which consumes a lot of energy. How about sending troops northward? As long as you stick to the Yellow River ferry, It is enough to monitor the movement on the other side!"

While speaking, Tian Feng took out a map from his pocket, which was densely packed with symbols, especially at the position of 'Guandu', there was a huge red cross. He had been planning the life and death battle between Cao and Yuan for a long time!

"Yuan Hao's words are inappropriate. The Cao thief is treacherous. Everyone knows it. If he has no plans, what is he doing to patrol the banks of the Yellow River? It's better to send troops and horses, be careful!" Guo Tu glanced at Yuan Tan when he was speaking. , Tell this eldest son, our chance has come!

"The three sons conquered Xiliang, took away 15 horses, and recruited 30 peasants. The food and grass consumption was huge, and half of Hebei's effort was spent on it. If they sent troops along the Yellow River, they would have to continue to recruit soldiers and food. They were afraid that it would violate the spring plowing. The common people Let's resent you!" Ju Shou also expressed his objection. Although Hebei is strong, it is difficult to support the two battlefields. If the people's strength is exhausted, how can we defeat the Cao bandits and rule the world?

"Cao thief is treacherous, we must guard against it, and it is true that Hebei is exhausted. This matter needs to be discussed in the long run..." Xu You is a master of peace and mud, and he can best balance the opinions of the counselors, but right now, it is a mess of mud. If it goes on, it will only become more and more chaotic!

"This is Cao's treacherous plan. As soon as the soldiers and horses move, they will fall into his trap. It's better to wait and see how it turns out!"

"The way of the art of war is fictitious and real. If someone is playing for real, wouldn't we just sit and wait for death?"

"Conscription and food collection are endless. If this continues, even if Hebei is rich in the world, it will be exhausted..."

............................................................

In the secret room, there was a quarrel with each other. Generally speaking, those who opposed sending troops won the upper hand, but no one can guarantee that Cao Jun will not come here. The final decision-making power is still left to Yuan Shao, which depends on his courage. with vision!

"It's better to believe what he has than to believe what is not. The old man and Cao Aman have known each other for 30 years. He knows that he is extremely treacherous and daring. He dares to do things that ordinary people dare not. We must send more troops along the Yellow River to prevent accidents!"

Yuan Shao hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to send troops, not afraid of [-], just in case. As for the common people, if the land of the four states is not protected, what's the use of keeping them?

"I'm not talented, but I'm willing to command [-] troops, station in Liyang, set up a big camp, monitor Cao's every move, so that he doesn't dare to covet the land of Hebei!" Yuan Tan immediately volunteered, and his chance finally came!

Yuan Shang commanded 15 troops and went to Xiliang. If he controlled 10 troops and sat in Liyang, he would be able to share equal shares with him. It was also a good opportunity to cultivate personal strength, how could he miss it!

"My son is resolute and brave, but he is the candidate to lead the army, but Cao thief is cunning and good at using soldiers, so we need to be more careful!" Yuan Shao prefers the youngest son, and he wants to make a reserve. He naturally saves a point for the eldest son I'm sorry, and I want to make up for it, so I nodded and agreed!

"My lord's strength is much better than that of Cao thief, but the others are not as good in person. I lost three points in resourcefulness, three points in courage, and three points in vision. There is only one point left to win. It is difficult to achieve great things!" Tian Feng! Shaking his head secretly, he sighed in his heart, and then looked at Yuan Tan who was full of ambition, "If there is a dispute between children and heirs, the remaining points will not be kept!"

688. Chapter 688 White Camel

A small camel is going to cross the desert,

Hurry up without turning back, step by step

Go, go, go, there's grass ahead,

Go, go, go, there is water ahead...

Outside Jincheng, Xiao Yi was riding on a white camel, humming a little tune, and commanding the camel to move forward, back, turn, and lie down... His movements were as flexible as using his arms and fingers, and he was very happy to play!

This camel is a gift from a local tyrant. It has white hair and golden eyes. It is mighty and beautiful. It is also the leader of a group of camels. It has a smart mind, can remember complicated roads, and has a keen sense of smell. The treasure that the team dreamed of, it is said that someone tried to buy it with a lot of money, but they failed!

The first time he saw a white camel, Xiao Yi fell in love with it, and even gave it a nice name - 'Cotton'. The camel's body is white and its hair is soft. Riding on its back is like falling into a pile of cotton The white camel is so comfortable that it has such a name. In fact, the white camel has a special name-'red-eyed and golden-eyed beast! '

The word 'beast' appears in the name because the white camel has a tough temperament and infinite strength. It can even kill wild wolves in the desert. Except that it doesn't eat meat, it is no different from ordinary beasts. It is a veritable desert animal. Pa!

White camels are rare in number, strong in character, and difficult to tame. Even the most experienced old packers can't help it. They can only rely on luck. Only those who are loved by God can ride on the back of a white camel, across the desert, and gallop across the world!

The ferocious beasts that are difficult for others to tame, but Xiao Yi can catch them with his hands. He has a natural affinity with animals. He combs the hair, pats the big head, and gives a few radishes, and becomes good friends with the white camel, riding on the back, playing Playing and cooperating tacitly, the 'Master Cabbage' on the side is jealous, neighing, and giving a jar of fine wine, it's all over!

As for the local tyrant who presented the white camel, Xiao Yi didn't treat him badly, and directly appointed him as the official post of chief bookkeeper. First, he thanked the other party for the good gift. With the help of the white camel, he would be more confident when crossing the desert. , It is also to buy local powerful forces. If you want to pacify the twelve counties of Xiliang, you must not only conquer the land, but also conquer the hearts of the people!

Not only Xiao Yi, but the soldiers of the Han army are all learning to ride camels. They want to cross the desert without the help of the "Desert Boat". It is a pity that the soldiers are used to riding on horseback. The tall creature with two peaks on its back immediately panicked and made a lot of jokes!

The camels were so big that some soldiers didn't know how to ride them, so they had to use ladders to climb up, and after a few wobbles, they rolled down again!

Some of them rode up, but they didn't know how to command them. According to the method of yelling at the horses, these long-haired giant beasts couldn't understand at all.

There are also some smart soldiers who tried to establish a relationship with the camels. In line with the principle of "horses have no night grass and no fat", they got up every night to feed the camels, and they were exhausted. Later, I realized that after these big guys eat and drink enough, You can not drink or eat for half a month, it is a mess of domineering!

In this way, after a month of assault practice, tens of thousands of Han soldiers finally learned to ride camels, they can advance and retreat freely, and they can line up to form a circle. This is also a formation that Xiao Yi came up with. In the desert, there is no city. Ke Yi, facing the cavalry of the Jie tribe who come and go like the wind, if you can use camels to form a line of defense, and then shoot the enemy with bows and arrows, it is the best strategy!

In addition, half of the [-] camels are females, who can squeeze out several liters of camel milk every day. It is nutritious, sweet and delicious. It is a good drink. Once the water source is cut off when the army is in battle, the soldiers will rely on the camel milk for food. , It can last for a period of time, this is the old wisdom of a generation of arrogance!

Similarly, camel meat is also a delicacy. An army with tens of thousands of camels is equivalent to bringing tens of thousands of food bags that can only walk.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

[-] camels are enough, and the luggage of the [-] army is also ready. At the same time, the other two allied forces have also moved closer!

"The last general pays homage to the great governor. He is so mighty and invincible in the world!" The Ma family father and son came, showing incomparable obedience, with six points of fear, three points of admiration, and one point of regret in their eyes!

When Xiao Yi attacked Jincheng's defense line, Ma's father and son watched from the sidelines. Their family had run Jincheng for more than a hundred years and believed that the city was indestructible.

The facts surprised them. Xiao Yi had been besieging the city for less than a month. He first used ingenious tactics to conquer Jinshan, and then captured Jincheng without bloodshed. People play!

After receiving the military report, the Ma family's father and son regretted that the great opportunity to regain the family's foundation had been missed in vain. How could they ask for Jincheng if they had no merit?

Knowing Xiao Yi's large-scale expedition to the west, Ma's father and son immediately came to serve in the army, and brought [-] elite soldiers. They just wanted to make meritorious service on the battlefield and get back to Jincheng.

"Obey the military order and fight the enemy bravely. After the matter is completed, the governor can guarantee that the Ma family will have a place in Xiliang!" Xiao Yi pointed to the sky and promised that the Ma family father and son are born soldiers, guarding the border of Xiliang, But it is the right candidate, of course, fetters are essential, only tame horses can be ridden!
