Chapter 974 Hands-On
Time passed, and it was still a bit cold in China in March, Cao Cao's army had already been deployed.
Cao Cao has already mobilized his troops.
Several generals and counselors were also sent out by him.
At this time, Cao Cao was hesitating whether to let Cao Ang lead his troops out to fight, or let Cao Ang guard Xuchang.
Cao Ang is his successor, and there is no problem. Cao Ang is very capable and is the most suitable successor. Now Cao Ang has shared a lot of Cao Cao's affairs.
Cao Cao didn't know how to decide, both are good.
Call Xun Yu and Cheng Yu.
"Two gentlemen, should this king let the son lead the army to go out, or guard Xuchang?" Cao Cao asked.
The two didn't have any scruples, because Cao Ang had already been made the prince, so there would be no fight.
Cheng Yu said: "My lord, you know Zhang Yu better, and your status is equal. According to my subordinates, Zhang Yu will go to the expedition, but you can go there in person, and you can make decisions on anything."
Xun Yu immediately retorted, "My lord, if you are in Xuchang, you will naturally be able to frighten Xiaoxiao, and you can handle information from all parties in a timely manner, making it easier for your subordinates to handle some things."
Cao Cao was a little annoyed at once, it is good to stay or not to stay, and what the two counselors said was not wrong.
Cao Cao didn't continue to ask, and then said: "You go back first, let me think about it."
"My king is going to conquer Yuan Benchu's territory. I will personally conquer Yuan Benchu's territory." Cao Cao said secretly.
Cao Cao also had a purpose in letting Cao Ang stay. There are still many reforms presided over by Cao Ang that have not been completed, so let Cao Ang continue.
Cao Ang's military merits and internal affairs are both good, and his future status will not be threatened.
Cao Cao decided, so he called Cao Ang to explain.
It took six days for this explanation and arrangement.
Suddenly Cao Cao thought, if it was Zhang Yu, how many days would it take him to arrange the work of the cabinet?
In fact, it took so many days for Zhang Yu to arrange it, or even longer, because only he understood many ideas.
But even if he's been away for a long time,
If something difficult happened, he also believed that the cabinet was capable of handling it.
A few days later, Cao Cao set off with an army of tens of thousands, and the rest of the army had already been deployed.
Zhang Yu has also completed the arrangement, and now he is waiting for Cao Cao to launch an attack first to attract the firepower of the Yuan family, and then launch the attack himself.
On the front line, Zhang Yu was with his army, sitting in front of the tent and watching the army drill.
"My lord, what are you waiting for? The army directly pushes over, and my subordinates promise that they will take down all three counties within three months." Dian Wei said loudly.
Dian Wei is a militant and has long wanted to fight.
Zhang Yu ignored Dian Wei, and glanced at the sun, the sun was not very high yet, and it was a bit cold.
"Drill the soldiers well, let the south side fight hotly first." Zhang Yu said.
The places in the south are more important places. When Cao Cao deployed his troops, the Yuan family had already focused on defense.
Zhang Yu didn't start the arrangement until more than ten days after Cao Jun started to arrange it.
Yuan Jun had already been transferred at this time, and it was difficult to transfer back.
Zhang Yu deployed fewer soldiers and horses in the north.
In fact, it doesn't need too much. When they are defeated and no one else is robbing them, the army in the rear will come to receive them.
At this time, Zhang Yu deployed more than 200,000 soldiers and horses on the front line, and Fusang's army also arrived in Youzhou, and had to rest for two days before setting off.
The weather in March is a bit cold, but the outside of the barracks is full of heat, and the soldiers are working hard to drill.
Dian Wei was a little free, because Zhang Yu mostly handed over the task of training troops to those young generals who had been trained.
Dian Wei kept mumbling beside Zhang Yu, wanting to kill him as soon as possible, otherwise he would be overwhelmed.
Riding a fast horse, he broke into the barracks, jumped off the horse and ran over after 200 meters away from Zhang Yu.
After Dian Wei found out, he stood next to Zhang Yu and stared at the soldier with tiger eyes.
Although the other party is unlikely to be a local assassin, Zhang Yu's safety is of great importance and cannot be ignored at all.
Zhang Yu stood up.
"Report, my lord, Cao Cao has mobilized troops to fight Yuan Jun two days ago." The soldier reported.
Zhang Yu asked the guards to take over the detailed information, and Dian Wei was very happy, wishing to join him to read the information, but that was against the rules.
"Very good." Zhang Yu said after reading the information: "Investigate Yuan Jun's situation immediately. Soldiers train for half a day and rest for half a day."
The south has begun to fight, and the north will also start to move.
But don't be so anxious, let Cao Cao fight for a while to attract firepower.
In a place not far from Yecheng, Tai Shici had been moving around with a troop of troops.
He also often sent small teams of soldiers and horses to intersperse and enter the vicinity of Yecheng. Although there was no offensive behavior, Cao Jun dared not ignore it.
The two armies will inevitably contain each other and pull each other's hind legs.
In Jingzhou, Sun Ce has sent many people to sneak into Xiangyang City, but until now there is no chance to get close to the target.
Through unknown connections, they secretly bribed people from the State Shepherd's Mansion, but they still had no chance to get close to their target.
It is not so easy to get close to Liu Biao.
Sun Ce is active, but Liu Bei's confidence may have swelled too fast. The recent activities have been too frequent, which has attracted Liu Biao's attention.
In particular, someone told Liu Biao that Liu Bei secretly increased his troops.
Liu Biao was angry at that time, it was not bullying him.
But Liu Biao didn't make a move right away, and his health wasn't very good at this time.
He began to mobilize his henchmen and prepare the army of his henchmen.
After a few days, Liu Biao's health improved a little, so he ordered someone to call Liu Bei.
"My lord, my lord, something is wrong." Jian Yong rushed in and said after receiving a secret letter sent to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was in the room, dreaming about the days after he seized power, but Jian Yong's voice interrupted Liu Bei's fantasy.
Liu Bei turned cold for a moment, then lowered his face and asked, "What happened?"
"There is a message that Liu Biao wants to do something to the lord."
Liu Bei's head slammed, no matter what, Liu Biao still has 300,000 troops in his hands.
And he, with an army of 5,000, knew the result without even thinking about it.
Liu Bei was in a hurry to turn around and asked someone to call Guan Yu and Zhang Fei over.
Liu Bei became the candidate for the lord of Jingzhou. Naturally, some people didn't want him to have an accident, so Liu Biao's actions could not be concealed soon.
When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came over and Liu Bei explained the situation, neither of them could do anything, even Zhang Fei didn't dare to shout to kill Liu Biao.
Liu Biao had already made preparations, how could their 5,000 people be able to kill them.
When Liu Bei, who had no master, was at a loss, Pang Tong happened to come to him.
"Shiyuan, teach me, I'm afraid I have to run for my life this time." Liu Bei cried.
Needless to say, if Liu Biao wanted to do something, he would have to run for his life. To read books on this site, please use the latest domain name
