Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Walking into the State Shepherd's Mansion and seeing the plaque on the hall, Chen Deng suddenly laughed like crazy.

Chapter 12 Xuzhou Situation

I saw that in the main hall of the State Shepherd's Mansion, the original plaque had disappeared.Now there is a brand new plaque with three big characters "Yunlong Palace" written on it.

The dragon is the palace.

From the three words Yunlongdian, Chen Deng saw Li Chen's ambition, and he felt more and more that he had made the right bet.

What are the subjects afraid of? What they fear the most is that the master has no ambitions and keeps himself safe.

Don't you see, Liu Bei has been in exile for most of his life.Tao Qian let Xuzhou, but he didn't keep it.Liu Biao let Jingzhou, but he has not kept it.

For the first half of Liu Bei's life, he fought and lost repeatedly, but even so, there were still a large group of people who followed Liu Bei around.

Why are these people willing to follow Liu Bei, isn't it because Liu Bei dares to toss?What they gained was the merit of being a dragon.

And Tao Qian has Xuzhou, and Liu Biao has Jingzhou, both of which are big cities and rich lands.But why did the tree fall and the monkeys scattered? It was because Tao Qian and those people under Liu Biao could see their future at a glance.I will live in the little Xuzhou, the little Jingzhou for the rest of my life.

It was completely dawn, and no one came in after a long time.Come to think of it, everything that should come should have arrived.

In Yunlong Hall, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.Chen Deng's appearance made everyone a little surprised, but at the same time, it also gave them a reassurance.

As the saying goes, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes.The Chen family is the largest clan in Xuzhou, and Chen Deng dared to join Li Chen, so why should they be afraid of these poor and white officials.

At this moment, Li Chen walked in from the outside in a hurry, seeing the aura and demeanor, it was extremely attractive.

"Chen Deng, meet the lord."

"Meet the lord."

As soon as Li Chen entered the Yunlong Palace, he saw the former Xuzhou officials headed by Chen Deng and bowed.

Li Chen nodded, and looked at the crowd approvingly.Cao Cao's 30 army is on the way, and those who dare to set foot on his boat at this time, let alone whether they have the ability, but this courage is second-to-none.

"I am very pleased to see all of you here today. Let me put your minds to rest for the time being. I, Li Chen, are here to say that today Cao Cao dares to covet Xuzhou, and tomorrow I will beat his Sili. "

As soon as Li Chen said this, Chen Deng and the others immediately became excited, and their chests heaved violently.

Where is Sili? This is the most densely populated and affluent territory on Cao Cao's territory.Even Yuan Shao, who was about to beat out his brains with Cao Cao, might not dare to say that he coveted Sili.

Such a hero, how can one not feel excited.

In his previous life, Li Chen had watched Jack Ma's speech videos a lot, and his technique of drawing big cakes was very famous.After drawing this big pancake, Chen Deng and others were fed to their full in an instant.

"Yuanlong, what's the situation in Xuzhou now?" Li Chen paused, and it came slowly after Chen Deng and the others had digested the big cake in their belly.

Before Tao Qian ran away, Chen Deng was the captain of Diannong in Xuzhou.This Diannong Xiaowei is different from Mi Zhu's Xuzhou Biejia. The Diannong Xiaowei is a position of real power and is responsible for the farming work of the entire Xuzhou. It can be said that it is second only to Xuzhou Mu.

After thinking for a while, Chen Deng slowly described the current situation in Xuzhou: "Tao Qian made up his mind to abandon Xuzhou early in the morning. The grain in the village was sold at a low price to me, the Chen family, the Mi family and the Zhen family."

Chen Deng was one of the few people who knew the inside story, such as the small officials in the Yunlong Palace, actually didn't know that Tao Qian had emptied Xuzhou.

This is really tight on the front line and tight on the rear.When they were still thinking about defending Xuzhou to the death, Tao Qian, the lord of Xuzhou, had already made up his mind to abandon Xuzhou.

This scene made Li Chen think of a sentence, we are still fighting to the death, why did your majesty surrender first.Perhaps this is the greatest tragedy of being an official or a general.

Li Chen nodded, this situation was within his expectation.Although people like Tao Qian are planning to let Xuzhou be given to Liu Bei, they will definitely not make Liu Bei so comfortable.I cut off Xuzhou by myself, and took over Xuzhou, which was supposed to be Liu Bei, so I naturally had to face such a predicament.

Xuzhou is an empty city. Although it is bad news, there is good news too. At least Tao Qian sold his food in Xuzhou.If he sold it farther away, Li Chen would really be a clever woman.

"Yuanlong, let me tell you the truth. I robbed Cao Song's property, and I have no shortage of money. How about I get back the grain that Tao Qian sold to the Chen family at the market price?" Li Chen looked to Chen Deng and asked.

As soon as Li Chen said this, Chen Deng immediately stated: "My lord, where is this? These grains are Xuzhou's official grains. I will send people to return the grains to the warehouse tomorrow. Tao Qian was in a hurry to sell grains that day, and the price was far away." It’s lower than the market price. If I don’t sell it, the food will definitely flow out of Xuzhou. If Xuzhou is besieged by Cao’s army, the people of Xuzhou will starve.”

"This"

"How can Yuanlong spend money?" Li Chen said with some embarrassment.

Chen Deng looked as usual, and said slowly: "Since I, the Chen family, have already boarded the lord's boat, then we will be both prosperous and hurt. Naturally, we should do our part for Xuzhou. If not, the city of Xuzhou will be destroyed, and Cao's How can you let me off, Mrs. Chen."

Chen Deng's words were justified, but Li Chen didn't pretend.

"Zang Ba, how many soldiers are there in the battalion?" Li Chen asked Zang Ba beside him.

Zang Ba held the long knife at his waist and came out to respond: "There are more than 1 soldiers in the Xuzhou camp, and none of the tribes will leave."

With Deyi and Chen Deng taking refuge, the loss of soldiers in the Xuzhou camp was not serious.The Mi family and the Zhen family are both foreign families, and the Chen family is a local tycoon. Because of this, the combat power of the Xuzhou camp is still relatively intact.

"We will start recruiting soldiers from tomorrow. Don't be stingy about military pay. We are [-]% higher than Cao Jun."

Li Chen first robbed Cao Song of his life savings, and yesterday he robbed the three thousand gold sent by Zhen Yao.In terms of money, it is enough to support an army of 5 people for three to five years.

There is no need to worry too much about money, it is enough for the time being.

At present, the troops under Li Chen's command mainly include Li Siye's [-] Mo sword soldiers, Guan Sheng's [-] infantrymen, [-] former bandits from Yunlong Mountain, and [-] soldiers from the Xuzhou Battalion.

Needless to say, Mo Dao Bing and Infantry Armor are elite soldiers among elite soldiers in this era.The bandits in Wuqian Yunlong Mountain were originally Qingzhou Army under Cao Cao's command, and they were not weak in terms of combat effectiveness.

As for Li Chen, a soldier of the Xuzhou Battalion, although he doesn't know the combat effectiveness, but with a general like Zang Ba who is good at training troops, his combat effectiveness should not be bad.

Chapter 13 The Three Cao Brothers

The first year of Xingping, 194 AD, at the end of April.

Li Chen took generals Li Siye and Guan Sheng to occupy Xuzhou, and Xuzhou officials Chen Deng, Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others took refuge.

At the end of April, Cao Pi led three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry to attack.Li Chen ordered general Li Siye to lead [-] Mo sword soldiers to defeat Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry and kill more than a thousand enemies.So far, the undefeated myth of Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry has been completely shattered.

The old gods fell, and the new gods ascended the throne.

Mo Daobing has become the most beautiful boy in this era.

In general, although Li Chen has not occupied Xuzhou for a long time, he has also shown his fangs.

May, the beginning of the month.

Li Chen established the Yunlong Palace in Xuzhou and called himself the Commander of the Palace.He began to issue a recruitment list, and his military salary was [-]% higher than that of Cao Jun, and countless people responded immediately.

The recruitment sites in Xuzhou were crowded with young and strong men.

This is an era of separatist regimes and endless civil wars.There is no national righteousness in this era. Serving in the army is exchanging your life for money. As long as the money is paid in place, what kind of bullshit is Cao Jun Yuan Jun?

Seven days later, the recruiting sites everywhere became crowded with crowds, and became deserted.

Although Li Chen recruited soldiers with a high salary, but the same, high military salary is a high requirement.The Yunlong Army only recruits men who are in their prime of life, and Li Chen will not accept those who are old, weak or veterans.

"My lord, I'm afraid the recruiting matters are coming to an end these days." In the Yunlong Hall, Chen Deng stood respectfully beside Li Chen with a roster in his hand.

"Yuanlong, is the recruiting going well?" Li Chen looked at Chen Deng with his forehead and asked softly.

"Although there are quite a few people who have come to apply for the enlistment these days, there are not many who can meet our requirements. After seven days, a total of 1 soldiers have been recruited." Chen Deng kept all the enlistment conditions of the soldiers in mind , So speaking of it naturally means opening your mouth.

Adding these more than 1 new recruits, Li Chen has nearly 30 troops under his command.Although it was not worth mentioning compared to Cao Cao's [-] army, Li Chen also knew that he couldn't become a fat man with one bite.Recruiting troops and buying horses does not happen overnight.

"The soldiers are good but not many. Twelve thousand soldiers are enough. Let's suspend conscription tomorrow." Li Chen nodded in satisfaction and said to Chen Deng.

"No." Chen Deng responded, and then asked again: "My lord, how will the recruits be allocated this time?"

Li Chen paused for a moment, then said: "In this way, General Zang's headquarters will be replenished to 2 people first, and then the rest of the troops will be replenished to General Guan."

Now Guan Sheng is in charge of training the bandit army brought by Li Chen from Yunlong Mountain, while Zang Ba is still in charge of training the old troops of Xuzhou Battalion.Now Guan Sheng leads about 5000 people, while Zang Ba has more than 1 men.

There is a deep meaning in Li Chen's replenishment of troops. He allocated 8000 men to Zang Ba, and 4000 men to Guan Sheng.In this way, the ratio of veterans to recruits under the two of them is basically one to one, and the veterans have a slight surplus of recruits. In this way, the veterans lead the recruits, so that they can display their combat effectiveness as quickly as possible.

Li Chen thought so as the lord, but Chen Deng didn't think so as the counselor.

From Chen Deng's point of view, Guan Sheng is a veteran general under Li Chen's command, while Zang Ba is a surrendered general.And now Guan Sheng has fewer soldiers and Zang Ba has more soldiers.Therefore, Guan Sheng should be supplemented first, and then Zang Ba should be supplemented.Only in this way can the old and new forces in Xuzhou City be balanced.

"My lord, if you don't add [-] to General Guan and [-] to General Zang. In this way, the soldiers under the two generals will be equal." Chen Deng pondered.

Li Chen naturally understood what Chen Deng meant. Chen Deng was a counselor, and he paid attention to the way of balance, balancing the original Yunlong Mountain forces and Xuzhou forces.

However, Li Chen used the way of Wangba, whether it was Guan Sheng or Zang Ba.It's all his deployment. What Li Chen has to do now is to let these soldiers play the greatest role. As for who has more soldiers and who has fewer soldiers, this is not important to Li Chen.

"Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't be suspicious of people. Yuanlong, do as I say." Li Chen nodded to Chen Deng.

Hearing Li Chen's words, Chen Deng couldn't help being taken aback, after all, he was narrow-minded.The lord is indeed a man with great ambitions.

"No." Chen Deng regained his composure, saluted respectfully, and then exited the Yunlong Hall.

At this time, in a valley hundreds of miles away from Xuzhou City, Cao Pi's [-] troops were stationed here.

Ever since Li Siye defeated the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Cao Pi hated and feared Xuzhou City.He knew that it might not be so easy to break through Xuzhou with his [-] troops.

At this time, on the mountain road less than ten miles away from Cao Jun's camp, the dusty sky was covered with black flags, and about [-] black-armored heavy cavalry exuded a chilling chill all over their bodies, like demon gods who came out of hell.

In the middle of the cavalry, a flag with the word Cao character was waving in the wind. Under the banner with the word Cao word flying like a dragon and a phoenix, two young generals in black armor walked side by side.One of them was tall and burly, with a stern face.The other person is handsome and slightly thin.

These people are all Cao Cao's backs. The handsome man is Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang, and the burly man is Cao Cao's nephew Cao Anmin.

Cao Cao launched an army of 30 to attack Xuzhou this time, but the mobilization of the 30 army could not be completed overnight.

So he raised an army of [-] troops first, and ordered his eldest son Cao Ang to lead the whole army, his second son Cao Pi as the vanguard, and his third son Cao Zhi as the grain transport officer.

No, Cao Ang heard that his younger brother Cao Pi was defeated in Xuzhou City.He quickly handed over the infantry to Commander Cao Zhi, and led five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry to support him first.

"report"

"Second son, General Cao, the eldest son led [-] tiger and leopard riders to support, and the army is less than ten miles away from the camp."

At this time, a scout rushed to report.

Cao Ang's arrival, for Cao Pi, was almost dozing off and someone gave him a pillow.Cao Pi suffered a defeat and was thinking about how to get back the losses he suffered, but worried about his lack of strength.Cao Ang came and brought five thousand tiger and leopard riders.

After a while, Cao Ang led his troops to arrive, and Cao Pi and Cao Ang brothers joined forces.

"Brother, you are here." Seeing Cao Ang, Cao Pi immediately went up to meet him.

Although Cao Cao was very powerful at this time, he was still in a stage of struggle after all.Therefore, there is no such kind of brothers fighting against the wall for power among the Cao brothers.

Not long after, Cao Ang, Cao Pi, Cao Ren, and Cao Anmin gathered in the big tent, and Cao Ren told Cao Ang and Cao Anmin how Li Chen defeated Cao Jun that day.

In the big tent, four people sat around.Cao Ren narrated the situation that day, while Cao Ang and Cao Anmin listened carefully to Cao Ren's narration.

Insert an app: The old version of the perfect replica of the book-chasing artifact can be changed to the source

Cao Ang frowned when he heard that Li Siye had smashed three thousand tigers and leopards with the [-] Mo knife, as if he was lost in thought.

Chapter 14 Rainy Days Call

After listening to Cao Ren tell the story of the last big defeat, Cao Ang said: "So, the second brother's defeat may sound unbelievable at first glance, but it is also understandable."

"Oh?"

"What do you mean by elder brother?" Cao Pi hurriedly asked.

In the past few days, Cao Pi can be said to be depressed. After thinking about it, he can't figure out how he lost.

In the words of the 21st century, I smoked three packs of cigarettes, trying to figure out how I lost.

"Second brother, the three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry you lead are leopard cavalry. Leopard cavalry are light soldiers who are good at fighting. They have killed the enemy with arrows and sabers. From what you said, the enemy army is heavy armored infantry. Kill the enemy with a long knife. Its individual soldiers are burly, well-equipped and well-trained, no matter from all aspects, they will just happen to restrain the leopard cavalry."

"This Mo Dao soldier was originally used to restrain the cavalry, and the second brother faced the enemy head-on with the leopard cavalry, which is good at fighting. Wouldn't it be better to overcome the enemy's strength with his own shortcomings?"

"A person wearing heavy armor, even a burly man, will lose his strength if he fights for a long time. In my opinion, if he is meeting him, he can fight with a leopard first to exhaust his strength, and then face him head-on with a tiger. Enemy, so we will be victorious." Cao Ang Kaikai said.

Only from Cao Ren's narration, Cao Ang analyzed the advantages of Mo Dao Bing, and thought of a way to break Mo Dao Bing.It can be seen that this Cao Ang is not simple.

Cao Ang, as the eldest son of Cao Cao, can be described as an all-rounder in military strategy.You know, Cao Ang was promoted to be filial and honest when he was a weak crown.Cao Pi is good at martial arts, while Cao Zhi is good, and Cao Ang can be said to be a combination of two younger brothers.

This is why, when Cao Ang died in Wancheng because of Cao Cao.Cao Cao's wife, Mrs. Ding, turned against Cao Cao directly, because of the reason why she had no contact with her since she was old and dead.

Cao Ang's biological mother was Mrs. Liu, who died not long after giving birth to Cao Ang.In other words, Cao Ang is only Mrs. Ding's adopted son, because the adopted son fell out with Cao Cao, which shows how good Cao Ang is.

The selection of officials in the Han Dynasty used the inspection system, and this Xiaolian was probably the number one scholar in later generations.And Cao Ang was promoted to Xiaolian when he was a weak crown, which probably means that he became the champion when he was less than 20 years old.

It can be seen from this that Cao Ang is a very capable person. It can be said that if Cao Ang hadn't died in Wancheng, Cao Pi would have no chance of inheriting the Cao family's great cause.

Hearing Cao Ang's analysis, Cao Pi suddenly had a shameful thought in his heart.

"Brother, I still have [-] leopard cavalry under my command, lend me your [-] tiger cavalry. Tomorrow, I will definitely be able to defeat the Mo Dao soldiers."

"No." As soon as Cao Pi finished speaking, Cao Ang immediately refused.After pondering for a while, he said: "Father wants to achieve great things, he must need elite soldiers like Mo Dao Bing. According to General Cao Ren, half of the benefits of Mo Dao Bing are due to this equipment."

"It is far from enough to break the Mo Dao soldiers. We have to find a way to surround the Mo Dao soldiers. It is best to persuade them to surrender. If not, we must wipe them out, get their armor and weapons, and capture that Li Siye alive. In this way, my Cao family will Another elite soldier."
