Whoever wins the crouching dragon wins the world

I finally agreed to Xing Hao's invitation to fight, not because of trust, but because of the coincidence of his meeting, and I went along with the flow to test his loyalty.

The most important reason why Liu Xi was relieved to let me guard Xinye alone was because he left me a Guo Jia who "hidden scriptures and history in his belly and hidden armor in his chest".Naturally, Guo Fengxiao was able to arbitrarily judge Sun Ce's life and death, and predicted the civil strife of the Yuan brothers.It seemed that the [-] Cao army came by surprise, but it was actually expected by Guo Jia.

There are [-] soldiers in Xinye City, excluding [-]% of the old, weak, sick and disabled, and deducting the [-] field soldiers who were ordered to go to the countryside, there are only [-] available soldiers, and the situation is dangerous.However, if Xinye is really so empty, how dare I rashly propose the plan of farming and tie my head to the waistband of my trousers?

In Shengyang Village, more than a hundred kilometers away from Xinye, there are five thousand well-trained bandit soldiers ambushing, which is the secret weapon that Liu Xi carefully prepared for me.

It's not that I look down on Le Jin, who is one of the five sons of Cao Wei. Even if he personally commands a mighty [-] army, he doesn't have much chance of winning against the [-] bright soldiers and [-] dark soldiers dispatched by Guo Jia.I let go of power with self-knowledge, watched Guo Jia finish the arrangements calmly, put down the tiger amulet meanderingly, and suggested to me: "The lower official has sent a meteor horse to Nanyang for emergency, but it will take a day for Shengyang Village to go back and forth to Xinye. For the safety of the one-night journey, I invite the princess to go out of the city to avoid the sharp edge and wait for the good news."

Of course I have no reason not to.

Kong Ming carefully taught me before, and Guo Jia and Shui Jing painstakingly cultivated me later. Although I am dull in talent, I can already be regarded as a teacher from a famous family in terms of my schooling experience.I am not ignorant of strategy theory, but Guan Di's death-defying alarm bells ring in my heart, always reminding me of my innocence in practice.Liu Bang, the great ancestor, said: "I am not as good as Zifang when I am decisively victorious thousands of miles away. I am not as good as Xiao He when I govern the country, caress the people, give them money, and keep food and roads. Even with an army of millions, the battle must be won, and the attack must be captured. I am not as good as Han Xin. These three are all outstanding people, and I can use them, and this is why I take over the world." In front of the enemy, the most taboo thing is that the superior does not know how to pretend to know how to dictate, and in the field that he is not good at Wholeheartedly trust the advisers and generals who are good at this, and consciously watch and learn their ways to solve problems, which is the strategy I have set for myself at present.

This is the first battle I have personally experienced since time travelling. Because I had the mentality of watching and emulating, I felt relaxed at the beginning and vaguely looked forward to it.

Before going out of the city, I went around to the east gate and saw that Le Jin was strong, brave and brave. He took the lead and shouted under the city: "Open the gate early and accept the surrender, so that the people in the city will not suffer!" Shao Zhe and other young generals did not answer. There are hundreds of rounds of power battles, you come and go, it's so lively.

Encouraging Xing Hao, who was about to kill the enemy, I went back to the mansion under the pretext of changing clothes and put on armored female disguised as a man. Under the guard of Qin Fan and Cui Zhouping, I left the city from the west gate, and went to Chaoling via Dufengpo quietly. He took refuge in Shi Guangyuan.

Three hours later, the flag was raised and lowered at the head of Xinye City. Guo Jia, Shui Jing, Shao Chan and more than a dozen people opened the door and surrendered. Su chariots and white horses greeted them by the roadside.Le Jin was overjoyed, and while riding his horse into the city, he reported success to Cao Cao, accepting Guo Jia and Xinye generals as surrenders, and did not kill or persecute them.

Shi Guangyuan scratched his ears and cheeks, and complained: "It's all because the prince threw me to Chaoling, otherwise I would be able to come on stage and sing this fake and real drama."

"Chaoling and Xinyefeng have nothing to do with each other, what regrets do you have?" Cui Zhouping couldn't see his junior brother's fidgeting, and said in a choked voice, "I was thrown out by Feng Xiao when I was in a situation, and I'm not as good as you Like brooding, resentment clusters."

Because Guo Jia and Shui Jing are the conspirators in Xinye City, it would be too dishonest to open the door to surrender and leave the building empty. Therefore, the only one who can be sent to protect me among the advisers is the little-known Cui Zhouping.Shi Guangyuan took pleasure in his misfortune: "Who makes you inferior to others, if you enter the city and don't see Guo Fengxiao, you must be suspicious of fraud, and you may not ask for a special Cui Shishi without an unimportant one."

Cui Zhouping's current official position is called Chief Recorder Shi, which is equivalent to a modern clerk. If he can be officially appointed by Liu Xie, his official rank will be about three or four hundred shi.It's a pity that Cao Cao insisted that Liu Xi was the impostor of King Pingan, and refused to recognize the Xinye regime. Therefore, all the generals under Liu Xi are now "pseudo" officials, and they cannot get a cent of the court's salary.And Liu Xi is ruthless and doesn't understand the difficulties of his subordinates at all. It is not uncommon to forcibly deduct the wages of his subordinates on the grounds that the army is short of supplies.Cui Zhouping worked hard for a month, and his income was nothing more than making a pair of tiger-toed shoes for his young master.

"The Cui family is so rich!" It is said that when Liu Xi first saw Cuizhou, he sighed as a local tyrant, and brazenly put his shoulders on his back and said, "My lord, I escaped from Cao Cao's clutches with nothing to spare. Raising soldiers and horses is really too embarrassing for me, and I can't afford to pay the monthly salary~ As a minister, I will share the worries of the king, so Cui Yushi lent me [-] baht, and when I have more money, I will definitely return the original amount!"

So when Cui Zhouping joined the job, Liu Xi not only earned a clerk for nothing, but also cheated him of a long-term interest-free loan, which can be described as extremely unscrupulous.After Shi Guangyuan and other Nanyang famous people heard about this incident, none of them expressed sympathy, and they all ran happily, happily teasing him with the title of "Cui Chuanshi", having a great time.Among them, Shi Guangyuan is the most important.

The bear kid doesn't go to the house for a day... I watched Cui Zhouping's face turn from white to green, and then from green to white. Finally, I couldn't help it. I picked up Shi Guangyuan's ear and dragged him out to teach him how to be a man.

Do not live by committing sins.

I pretended not to hear Shi Guangyuan's pitiful cry for help, and patiently waited for midnight to fall.

According to the plan, as soon as Zishi passed, Guo Jia would call gold in the city, break up the [-] field soldiers who had hidden in the countryside, and surprise Cao Jun's camp.At the same time, under the leadership of Min Xi and Fang Ji, the bandit soldiers of Shengyang Village lurking outside the city divided into two groups to attack from the east and west. Kill Le Jin.

Guo Jia's plan is quite perfect, and with his consistent style, it is also appropriate to intersperse small tidbits such as instigating rebellion and happy promotion of subordinates in addition to completing the established tasks.I calculated the distance between Xinye and Chaoling, and estimated that around Yinshi, a sergeant would come to invite me back to the city, so I washed and rested early, recharged my batteries and waited for the good news.

Unexpectedly, when I fell asleep, there was still no movement outside.

I tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, but couldn't sleep after all. I sat up and stared at the dark sky in a daze.

I'm starting to worry.

Maybe it's because of my lack of experience, even though I know Guo Jia's abilities well, I still can't stop thinking wildly and feeling restless.

What if?Guo Jia died, Xinye fell into the hands of Cao Cao, and Liu Xi lost his original blessed land as soon as he won Xiangyang.

Under the worry, time became extremely difficult.

I tried to convince myself that worrying wasn't helping the situation, it was just self-torture, but it still didn't help.I could feel my heart beating wildly in my chest, as if it would jump out of my throat violently at any moment.

"Princess!" Qiu Xiang, who was waiting outside the house, finally knocked on my door and reported softly, "Cui Yushi is visiting!"

"Invite him to come in!" I was refreshed as I was sitting in the room, and I looked hopefully at Cui Zhouping who was walking quickly, but the news he brought was disappointing: "There is no news from Xinye yet. , the next official wants to take Yiyou Pai out to inquire, what does the princess think?

Youjiao is similar to the police, because Chaoling is a poor and backward small county, not only sparsely populated, but also lacks official positions such as county captain and court official, so the most powerful force in the city is Youjiao who catches thieves. People have to lament Shi Guangyuan's difficulty in the past.

The police and scouts are completely different types of work. Thinking of the unsightly professional quality of the soldiers in my memory, I shook my head and said: "You are not good at military affairs, so I will select a few soldiers to go out of the city, with safety as the top priority." Although Chaoling County The mansion is empty, but I brought three hundred guards from the princess mansion to Chaoling, which is much more professional than Youjiao.Cui Zhouping may not be unwilling to send soldiers, but because the people I bring belong to the private soldiers of the princess' mansion, it is inconvenient to speak.

Seeing me take the initiative to mention it, Cui Zhouping is not hypocritical, and he is polite and obedient.

But I waited until noon and still did not see Cui Zhouping turn around.Shi Guangyuan was afraid that I was worried too much, so he came here to comfort me and said: "Princess, don't worry, Guo Fengxiao is resourceful, and he can count with his heart and his heart, and he will definitely be able to catch him happily and regain the new wild."

But the battlefield is changing rapidly, if everything goes well for Guo Jia, how can there be no news until now?This extraordinary calmness always makes people feel a sense of crisis that is about to come.

I'm on pins and needles.

After all, am I too weak?Nervousness and anxiety stem from the fear of the unknown. Since I do not have the ability to independently analyze the battle situation, no one's comfort and persuasion can alleviate my negative emotions.Leading the army is like painting. Only painters with profound skills can see the overall situation and have a well-thought-out plan.

I have become more and more determined to become stronger, but before that, there is nothing I can do except watch the passage of time with a cold eye.If Guo Jia fails and Le Jin takes control of Xinye, leaving the city would be tantamount to throwing myself into a trap, extremely stupid.

"Princess Qi! There are more than a hundred cavalry coming from the west, I don't know who they are." After finally waiting for the sun, the excruciating anxiety finally came to an end, but the news that waited was not necessarily good.I had doubts in my heart, climbed up to the west gate and looked in the distance, and sure enough, I saw more than a hundred riders with light bows and short arrows, the wind was blowing the flag, the leader was short in appearance, holding a gun and riding a horse, it was Le Jin.Looking at his army, the horseshoes are disheveled and haggard, and they are only supported by a rage and hostility. It should be that they managed to escape from Xinye City after going through wear and tear, which shows that Guo Jia has not fulfilled his heavy trust.

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Fan jumped out of the crowd and asked: "Princess, to fight or not to fight?" There is a saying in "Sun Tzu Military": "Don't force the poor, this is the way to use troops." Warn the leaders not to underestimate the lethality of defeated soldiers , so as not to be backlashed by a little inattentiveness.But there are also teachings in "Book of Jin": "The opportunity must not be missed, and the time will never come."

Le Jin is courageous and resolute, with outstanding combat prowess, if he doesn't take advantage of his illness to kill him at this time, he will be troubled in the future.

Taking a deep breath, I ordered: "Fight!"

"The last general takes orders!" There are few generals in Chaoling County, and there is only one general who has the strength to fight, Qin Fan. He does his part and promises loudly, "Swear to take Le to be the leader and strengthen my majesty!"

I solemnly take care of him: "The poor soldiers are at the end of their lives, please be more careful, general."

Qin Fan's force is comparable to Shao Zhe's. Shao Zhe was defeated and retreated the day before yesterday. Even if Le Jin is weak after the battle today, Qin Fan's chances of winning are only five or five.But the loser does not lose the battle, Qin Fan led his troops to fight out, the momentum was like a rainbow, he stopped Le Jin and he twisted in the same place to fight one-on-one.Shi Guangyuan's heart was agitated, and he couldn't help but go up to the city gate to shout and cheer, and the rest of the soldiers moved after hearing the sound, and fought hard, with blood and liver splattered.

I could hardly take my eyes off Qin Fan and Le Jin, I felt dizzy and thrilling.

The sword has no eyes, if you don't pay attention, you will have to wait 18 years before becoming a good man.

Because most of my soldiers are sword soldiers, facing Shang Lejin Qingqi, they gradually show signs of decline.Seeing that the battle in the city was getting more and more dangerous, I caught a glimpse of the drums on the wall, picked up the drumsticks decisively, and beat the drums to cheer.

"Tom! Tom! Tom!"

Chaoling's defenses are empty, if Qin Fan is defeated and Le enters the city, I will either be captured or die, and the end will not be too good.It stands to reason that with my panic before the war, I should be terrified when things come to an end, but the strange thing is that I don't feel any fear at this moment, only a sense of pride in my heart.

Soldiers are not afraid of death, how can the chief officer have the face to shrink back?Although I have no strength to restrain a chicken, there is still blood flowing in my veins.

"Tom! Tom! Tom!"

The drums are dense and the sound hits the ears.When Qin Fan heard the military drum, he gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength. As soon as he jumped under the horse, he took his head off, dripping with blood.

The remaining soldiers were defeated.

Victory!

The situation of the battle is clear, I ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, stand alone on the wall, and look at the head of Le Jin who died with regret, and my heart fluttered.It was only a moment before and after this battle, which is not worth mentioning in today's troubled times, but it is still either you die or I die, this is the Three Kingdoms, this is the truth of troubled times.
