Great Wei Nengchen

The outcome of this Southern Expedition is unpredictable, and the journey is bumpy and laborious. If there is some problem that affects the fetus in the womb, Guo Jia must be dreaming every night and yelling endlessly. Will he still be able to sleep?

The third is to issue an urgent report from Hongling, mobilize several troops distributed in Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Guanzhong, travel day and night, gather in Xuchang, station outside the city, practice day and night, and prepare to participate in the Southern Expedition!

The rivers in the south are criss-crossed and the land is wet. Some armies cannot be deployed, such as the Mo Dao soldiers led by Daniel-wearing heavy armor and holding sharp knives. I'm afraid I can't pull out my feet, so naturally I can't go south to fight!

Therefore, the few troops that came here were all carefully selected by Xiao Yi. They were trapped in the camp - flexible and dare to fight, Danyang soldiers - good at fighting in the mountains, Diggers - specialized in digging holes, and the mysterious armored cavalry. The south is not suitable for cavalry galloping, but if you use it carefully, it can have the effect of a surprise soldier!

As for the Modao soldiers, Xiliang soldiers, Guanzhong soldiers...and the generals of Daniu, Ma Liu, Zhang Xiu, and Jiang Qi, all of them are stationed in place and are not allowed to participate in the Southern Expedition!

It's true that Xiao Yi helped Cao, but he wouldn't put all his money into it, otherwise he would lose a lot of money in the direct line of troops, and he would not be able to gain a foothold, not to mention that Xiao Yi was not sure of victory in the southward battle, so he didn't dare to take a few good brothers to risk!

Xiao Yi also went to Zhengming Academy, and brought in thousands of students, including Confucianism, Mohism, military school, Taoism, Buddhism... Especially the children of doctors, almost even the bottom line, the genius doctor Hua Tuo was among them, and formed Formed an army of 'students! '

The Zhengming Academy has been established for several years, consuming countless material and financial resources, and has also cultivated a large number of students. Some of them have already achieved academic success and are ready to leave the academy to show their talents!

But there are some things that can never be learned in the classroom, and must be experienced in person. This battle of the Southern Expedition can be regarded as a graduation internship. Let the students understand the cruelty of the troubled times in the blood and fire, so as to hone them ambition!

The south is warm and humid, bitten by mosquitoes, and the soldiers from the north passed by. Unavoidable acclimatization, suffering from various diseases, especially contagious diseases, one person gets sick, infects the whole camp, and loses combat effectiveness. The army is destroyed, how can we do without good doctors?

With a good doctor, there must be a good medicine. Xiao Yi found the Zhen family, the Liang family and dozens of big business houses, and asked them to buy musk, borneol, bezoar, realgar, borax, saltpeter, ginger powder at all costs... ...They are all good medicines for relieving heat and detoxification, eliminating filth and benefiting orifices, and then sent to the military camp for emergency use!

But no matter how busy he was, Xiao Yi spent two hours a day, riding horses, archery, practicing martial arts... He worked hard, and as a result, after more than a month, his body lost several kilograms, but he also became more brave and sturdy!

"My husband is the No. 1 general in the world - he is invincible in attack and invincible in battle. This time, he has a strong army and a strong horse, and he will defeat the few with many. The southern expedition will undoubtedly win, so why bother?"

Seeing Xiao Yi getting thinner day by day, the wives felt distressed. They were asking about their health, and making soup to nourish them. At the same time, they were also very puzzled. In the past, Xiao Yi had never been so serious in leading the army before!

Even during the Battle of Guandu, facing the siege of Yuan Shao and Sun Ce and hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, Xiao Yi was calm and composed, talked and laughed happily, and was interested in finding some wives to discuss the way of life and reproduction!

Facing the questions from the wives, Xiao Yi smiled and didn't answer. He just rolled up his clothes and looked at the four scars on his left arm, which were left from his life-and-death struggle with evil wolves when he crossed over!

It was the first time Xiao Yi touched death, and he also understood a truth, the traveler - is not the darling of heaven, but an outcast, danger is everywhere, if he is not careful, he will be a bone in the wilderness!

Fighting a war is not a child's play, let alone being lucky. It's not that I have the aura of the protagonist, sit in a tent and talk about it, or use the knowledge of later generations to come up with a few small inventions and easily defeat the enemy. The lives of myself and countless subordinates!

What's more, the enemies we face this time are not the unscrupulous people like Li Jue, Guo Si, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao, but the most outstanding generals and counselors in this era... Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Xu Shu, Prince Liang, and maybe Pang Shiyuan, those are not easy to mess with!

Xiao Yi has seven wives to love (several underground lovers), eight children to raise (there are still a few in his belly), so naturally he is extremely cherishing his life, but if he wants to live well, he has to defeat all powerful enemies, how can he What about negligence?

This time, Cao Jun assembled 40 soldiers and horses, all of whom were experienced elites, and more than 100 million civilians, who were also young and strong laborers dispatched from various states and counties, as well as countless grain, grass, ordnance, money, vehicles, and livestock... ... from all directions, coming together, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea!

"Boom!—Boom! Boom!"

"Woo! - woo! woo!"

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

Near Xuchang City - camps are like a sea, people and horses are like a tide, flags are fluttering, and drums are beeping in unison, just like a magnificent long song of history. !

First, the main force of the Cao army gathered in Xuchang, resulting in insufficient local and border troops, and even defensive loopholes. In the newly pacified Liaodong area, Karasuma and the remnants of Xianbei continued to make trouble, attacked several Cao army fortresses, and even set fire to a small city !

Second, in several counties and counties in Hebei, in order to supply the army for the southern expedition, they continuously conscripted, collected food, and collected taxes. It calmed down, but people were still panicking!

Third, in Yanzhou-Chenliu County, a team of hundreds of peasants escorted food and grass to Xuchang. However, due to rain, road blockage, exhaustion and homesickness, the peasants rioted. They tied up two The supervisor, then privately distributed the food and dispersed in a herd!

Fortunately, they only tied up people and didn't kill people. They just distributed food privately and broke up in a crowd. They didn't rise up and cut trees into soldiers. Otherwise, it would be another uprising in Daze Township, and I don't know how many Chen Sheng and Wu Guang came out!

There are various indications that although Cao's army is strong and powerful, the rear is not stable, and the people at the bottom are also war-weary. !

Whether it is unstable or worrying, under the strong impetus of the traitor, the giant chariot of the Cao Ying Group is still on the track of war... The day of the army's expedition has arrived!

Chapter 1205 Tortoise shell divination, peeping at the will of God!

The ninth year of Jian'an in the Han Dynasty-summer-July 53th is the day when Cao Jun went south to attack Jingzhou, and it is also Cao Cao's [-]rd birthday!

"Boom! -boom! -boom!"

"Kill! -kill! -kill!"

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

At dawn-sunrise in the east, the sound of war drums sounded from Cao Jun's camp-as fast as a shower and as loud as thunder, which made people's eardrums hurt, their hearts beat wildly, and the blood all over their bodies boiled!

With the sound of rumbling war drums, hundreds of thousands of soldiers - fully armed and neatly lined up, set up a mountain of army formations, shouting resounding through the world, and their power shocked the universe!

There are more than 45 Cao Jun soldiers, all of whom are well-trained and battle-tested. What about the tribe of Jie!

In the morning at Chen Shi, the city gate of Xuchang opened. Amidst the melodious drum music, a team slowly appeared. In front were thousands of elite tiger and leopard cavalry. Team, there is an apricot yellow banner in the middle!

There is a man under the banner of the Dazhu, wearing a golden armor, with a sword relying on the sky, and riding a "clawed yellow flying electric", looking around, showing the true qualities of a traitor, it is the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops--Cao Cao!

"My lord, the prime minister, will live forever... Your lord, the prime minister, will live forever!"

Cao Cao was in high spirits, and urged his horses to come straight to the camp. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers waved their weapons and raised their arms and shouted.

In the middle of the camp - a commanding platform has been built. It is three feet six feet high and more than three hundred steps in circumference. Bronze tripod... and hundreds of elite soldiers stationed there!

Arriving at the position of the central army, Cao Cao got off his horse and ran to the stage in a hurry. After taking a few breaths, he sat on the commander-in-chief and began to divide his troops:

"Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen are the left and right vanguards, commanding 3 horses to march forward, opening roads in the mountains, building bridges in the water, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Wancheng!"

"promise!"

"Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan led the left wing and captured Shangyong and Jincheng. Cao Ren and Cao Hong were the right wing and captured the cities of Nanyang and Changsha. The rest of the generals were in the middle with the old man. They took Nanjun and Jiangling first, and then encircled Xiangyang City three ways and captured Liu Biao alive. , Liu Bei two thieves!"

"promise!"

"Xiao Lang has both civil and military skills, and is good at fighting. He can lead the troops of the headquarters and take charge of the important tasks in all directions. At the same time, he can also lead the navy ships to defeat the enemy on the rivers and rivers!"

"The last will obey!"

"As for the affairs in the rear, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi are ordered to sit in Yecheng, Luoyang, and Xuchang respectively to handle internal affairs, allocate food, grass, and armaments, and ensure that the army has no worries!"

"promise!"

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

Cao Cao's tactics are very clever. Taking advantage of his own strength, he attacked from three directions, outflanked and encircled Jingzhou, forming a tendency to swallow Jingzhou!

But it's also very eccentric, all the easy and safe tasks are entrusted to my brothers and nephews, let them make contributions, and the hard and tiring things are pushed to Xiao Yi. Woolen cloth!

Especially the water army is difficult, tiring and dangerous. The water army team of the Caoying Group has only been established for two years. There are few people, small boats, insufficient training, and unfamiliar tactics. It's barely enough to deliver some supplies!

Wanting to compete with the large-scale and well-equipped Jingzhou navy in the turbulent Yangtze River is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. If you lose the battle or delay the military plane, you will be severely punished!

The generals with different surnames exchanged glances, feeling that the division of troops was unfair, and hoped that Xiao Yi would stand up and argue with the Prime Minister, but Xiao Yi took the command arrow calmly, showing no embarrassment at all. plan?

"This time the army is going south to crusade, with the imperial decree of the emperor above, and the hearts of the people below. I also hope that the soldiers will work together and fight the enemy bravely. The prime minister will not hesitate to reward those who have made great achievements!"
