Fall in love with the technology tree [Three Kingdoms]

Wancheng is only 200 kilometers away from Xu County, and a large army can reach it in five days.If it is changed to cavalry, it will be faster, and it will be a matter of time.

Thinking about this kind of distance makes people feel uneasy. Zhang Xiu is a military general who was born in the Xiliang army. He has been with his uncle in Dong Zhuo's army since he was a child. This cavalry background is not unreasonable compared to Cao Cao in this time and space.

It's just that after Dong Zhuo's death, Xiliang soldiers fought among themselves and became king arbitrarily.Zhang Xiu's uncle also died in a robbery.As a young man, Zhang Xiu was quite intelligent. He left Chang'an, which had become a fire pit, with his direct troops, and went south to seek food. He was finally accepted by Liu Biao of Jingzhou and placed in Wancheng at the junction of Liu Biao and Cao Cao.

There is only one day's journey between Xu County, which is well-mannered and full of students, and Xiliang's iron cavalry entrenched!

It's no wonder that the first day Zhang Xiu entered Wancheng, he became a thorn in Cao's heart.

Zhang Xiu must be pulled out, and its urgency is far higher than that of Tao Qian and Liu Biao.

For this reason, Cao Cao sent [-] troops to Xu County in three routes.At this time, it is golden autumn and October, and the autumn harvest has just ended.The Yellow Flower Sea in the south of Juancheng witnessed this huge pre-war mobilization. Carloads of soybeans, horse grass, dry rations for the march, and wound medicines stretched forward along the flat crushed sand and cement road. Not to the end.

The so-called three armies have not moved, food and grass first.

And Cao Cao was dressed in military uniform at this time, and the tiger and leopard rider who grew up with him were behind the horse. The world has changed in the past 20 years. Many of the earliest young tiger and leopard riders died in battle or retired due to injuries. At the same time, young faces are added. The second generation of riders, the third generation of riders... The old and the new, Only the temperament of the army remained unchanged.

A whole [-] cavalry lined up in front of the camp, and they were able to do so without even the slightest discordant neighing of horses.Superb riding skills, strict discipline, and arrogant murderous aura all converge into an iron-like silence.

This is tiger and leopard riding.

Temporary soldiers and conscripts who have been in the army for less than a year can only look at them in awe, and then try to straighten their bodies.

Cao Cao sprinkled a bowl of water and wine in front of the military flag with the word "Cao" painted on it. "Everyone, Xu County, Yingchuan, is an important place for the school. The remains of the late emperor are buried there; the headquarters of the medical hall for your treatment and diagnosis is there; the military uniforms you wear, the rations you eat, and the weapons you use. Not from there. Our descendants, the most learned, will go there too. Gentlemen, this home war! Death—not retreat!"

"No retreat! No retreat! No retreat!" The cries of countless adult men exploded like a tsunami, as if sparks had ignited the oil barrel.

Cao Cao got on his horse and raised his weapon: "Let's go!"

Countless horseshoes stepped on the Yanyu New Road, and rushed forward with the footsteps of the infantry and the sound of the end of the long weapon hitting the ground.

A scout dressed in short brown and dressed as a city guard appeared at this time.Holding a green emerald engraved with the word "birth", he rushed directly into the queue, his face full of soot and blood stains, bringing the smell of war.

The black-clothed and black-armored cavalry had seen such a stupefied young man a long time ago, and they were planning to shoot him from a long distance, but their faces changed when they saw the big emerald.Only when the scout got close did he stop him with a spear.

"Who are you? Why do you have this jade pendant?"

The ragged soldier opened his mouth with a Qingzhou accent: "I have an urgent military situation, and I want to meet Meng Degong."

It was Cao Jiu who was asking the question. As his name suggests, he was an old man who had followed Cao Cao for a long time. He was the kind of person who saw the growth of a "first-year student" with his own eyes, and immediately felt something. "Your student number?"

"Wei, Weihai Yiwu, seven five two nine four seven seven." The soldier replied subconsciously.

Cao Jiu looked solemn.This is a graduate of Weihai Academy, the seventh batch of students starting with the seven characters, and now most of them are local parents officials.He said in a deep voice, "Wait a moment", and drove his horse to Cao Cao. "Master, the Qingzhou military situation is an urgent report."

Cao Cao didn't dare to be negligent when he heard the words, after all, his sister was still there. "Where are people?" He asked immediately.

The two tiger and leopard riders received the instructions, one on the left and one on the right, and brought the Weihai Yiwu [-] to Cao Cao.

"Is Qingzhou in danger? I received Zhonghua's safety letter a few days ago."

When the injured messenger saw Cao Cao, it was as if he had seen a life-saving straw: "Meng Degong, please send a general to go north."

"Can Ah Sheng not be able to resist Yuan Shao's harassment? She has a flying eagle rider, and Qingzhou has been operating for many years, and the fortifications are like iron barrels." Cao Cao was really shocked.

"How could Cao Zi not be able to stop the harassment?" The man was so angry that he almost broke free from the tiger and leopard knight soldiers. He pulled the wound and tears flowed down. "A few days ago, Yuan Shao sent his eldest son Yuan Tan to attack Pingyuan County. , was repelled by Cao Zi thirty miles outside Pingyuan City. The boy couldn't hold his breath, and wanted to sneak across the river at night and sneak into Gaotang, but was ambushed by Cao Zi, and thousands of people drowned in the big river , Yuan Tan himself was almost captured alive."

This is confusing. "Since the battle is going well, where did your urgent report come from?"

"Xuzhou Tao Qian invaded Taishan County." The messenger burst into tears, "Gaixian, Mouxian, and Feiguo all fell, and Fenggao, Boxian, and Liangfu were in danger. The humble... Fei Guo's grain officer saw with his own eyes that Tao's troops stormed the city, looted the granary, and set fire to it, before he left."

Cao Cao glared: "He is staring at Taishan County and refuses to let go! What's so good about Xiajun County, which is full of mountainous areas? When Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, he sent him to harass Mount Tai every day, and now he actually goes into battle by himself?!"

The impoverished Fei Guoliang official wiped his nose and tears, revealing his red nose: "Because we were stationed at the border, Cao Zi had asked when passing by: If there is any change in Xuzhou, all the people in the east of Mount Tai will evacuate, and only set up a place in the mountains. Guan defense; if Xuzhou sends tens of thousands of troops, he will come to ask Meng Degong. Now Tao Jun has left Liangfu Mountain in the west, and Pingyuan City is far farther than Juancheng. I don't have the skills to separate myself, so please ask Meng Degong to give me a general so that I can fight Tao Qian to the death."

What the other party said was reasonable, Cao Cao nodded again and again: "It should be, it should be. It's just who to send..."

"I'll go!" A shout suddenly came from the crowd, and it was Liu Bei who came.

Liu Bei pushed aside the crowd and walked to the front. Everyone could see the determination and righteousness on his face: "Bei asked to support Taishan County for three reasons: First, I used to lead troops in Xuzhou, and I was very impressed with Tao's formation. It is understanding, knowing yourself and the enemy, and you are more likely to win; second, I have been in and out of Taishan County many times, and I am familiar with the map. The terrain of Taishan is complicated, and others may not be as familiar with the terrain as I am; With old feelings, it is more convenient to persuade surrender and make peace. Because of the above three points, I am prepared to ask to support Taishan County and resist Tao Qian's invasion."

The generals nodded after listening.In this way, there is really no more suitable candidate than Liu Bei.

Cao Cao's suspicious little eyes flickered, but he didn't agree directly: "Mr. Xuande wants to fight against his old friend, won't it be embarrassing?"

"What's so embarrassing?" Guan Yu shouted, "Could it be that Duke Cao doesn't trust my elder brother?"

I really can't trust your elder brother, but you can't say that in front of Guan Yu, Cao Cao can only say haha.

"Let's go, let's beat Tao Qian, the tigers and leopards are all like wooden men, and they are bored." Before Guan Yu pressed the gourd, Zhang Fei's gourd floated up, and he shouted loudly, "Mr. Cao, Our brothers volunteered to lead troops to Tao Qian. Are you agreeing or not?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Cao Cao had no choice but to agree.In fact, he couldn't find a reason to say it openly.

Ever since, before leaving Juancheng, Liu Bei divided his troops and went north.Although he brought less than 2000 people, most of them were nails mixed in, Cao Cao's spies, Cao Sheng's spy department, many people's temperaments looked different, so don't be too bullying.

This soldier can't take it.Except for beating Tao Qian honestly, these people would not give Liu Xuande a single extra fart.Liu Bei's face was gloomy, and the last hope in his heart was shattered. Cao Cao's fear of him was too deep, and he would not be able to develop if he stayed in Cao Ying.

"Fortunately, I still have two brothers." Liu Bei sighed when the large army disappeared.

"I also think it's not pleasing for Cao A to hide from elder brother." Zhang Fei said bluntly, and then blushed with shame, "Because I checked the map last time, I had a rift with Zhong Hua, otherwise I would still go to her now Well, Pingyuan County is a good place with wealth and prosperity, and it's far from Juancheng."

"Keep your voice down." Guan Yu stopped Zhang Fei, "Don't be heard by the people behind."

Liu Bei looked at this, looked at that: "Brothers, I will not lie to you two. I want to make a contribution, but I am afraid that I will become an enemy of Duke Cao. I will travel east to Tao Qian, and I have already discussed with the Mi family. It's been a long time. At the beginning, the three of us brothers left Xuzhou and went to Xu County. It was for the late emperor; Stay here. The two brothers are different from me, they are appreciated, if you want to stay in Yanzhou..."

"What did the elder brother say?" Guan Yu interrupted him directly, "I and the elder brother have the same blessings and share the same hardships, there is no reason for the elder brother to be busy, but I am promoted to a noble. Yide, why don't you speak? You— —”

Zhang Fei lowered his head: "Brothers are leaving, so naturally I am leaving too. I just think of Xuzhou, which is much dilapidated compared to Xu County, and I feel a little bit emotional."

Liu Bei sighed: "Cao Sheng's ability in internal affairs is like a gift from heaven, and cannot be pursued by manpower."

"That's all, let's go." Zhang Fei patted his ass, "I'll write a farewell letter to my little apprentice when I get to Xuzhou."

As the sky darkened, Liu Bei and his party camped in Fan County.

At the same time, Guo Jia was lamenting loudly in the tent: "How can my lord let Liu Bei go? This is like letting a tiger go back to the mountain, and it will cause future troubles."

Cao Cao was also very regretful when he said it: "If Liu Bei is alone, I will naturally not let him go. But Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are begging for each other..."

"My lord, since a rift has arisen and forced people away, it is better to get rid of the evil. If you are hesitant, who will recognize you? They will only think that this is a chance to escape." Guo Jia There seemed to be some kind of unruly power in his thin body, which suddenly burst out, making it hard to believe that he was just a lazy scribe.

"It's up to you." Cao Cao finally made up his mind. He said that, which meant that he gave up Guan Yu.Kill Liu Bei, then Guan Yu will not die, but also become an enemy.

"Feng Xiao, I will give you the military talisman of Liu Bei's army. With the military talisman and my own handwriting, you chase after the army and order them to kill Liu Bei."

Guo Fengxiao straightened his back. Even though he was often impeached and said to be unrestrained, he was the only one to do this kind of life-threatening black hands for Cao Cao.
