Chapter 543 Cao Cao decides to send reinforcements
Not long after, Xiahou Dun and others arrived. If they all knew that if they could make their lord rush to summon their people, there must be something important, so the few of them put down their affairs for the time being and rushed over, so they arrived soon.
After several people entered the house, they all found Guan Yu, a strange face. After all, there were only a few people in the house, and Guan Yu's appearance was indeed easier to find. Someone thought to himself, could the lord just introduce the general who joined the lord's account? But no matter what it was, it had arrived. I think the lord could tell you immediately.
"I've seen the lord!"
Xiahou Dun and the other six said in unison, and then nodded to Cheng Yu, Xiahou Yuan and others, as if they had said hello.
Cao Cao smiled and said, "Come on, sit down!"
After the six of them sat down, Cao Cao introduced Xiahou Dun and Guan Yu one by one. Xiahou Dun and others were very polite to Guan Yu. After all, they all worked under the lord's account, and they were also colleagues who "looked down and looked up" in the future, so it was impossible for them to break the relationship when they first met.
As for Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong and Cao Chun, the three Cao generals, new forces have been added to their lord's tent, and seeing Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang are definitely not ordinary people, they are all happy about this. Because they have become stronger and have strengthened the strength of the Yanzhou army, this is what they are happiest about.
As for Li Dian, Le Jin and Yu Jin, the three generals with foreign surnames, Guan Yu, the addition of the foreign surname, can be said to have enhanced the strength of the generals with foreign surnames in their Cao camp. And they naturally could feel that Guan Yunchang was extraordinary. So this was something they were very happy and happy to see. There was no way, so it was said that "there are rivers and lakes where there are people." Isn't it all the same? What are the exceptions for Cao Cao?
To put it simply, the Cao camp and the Yanzhou army, the Cao generals and the foreign generals are actually two obvious camps. On the surface, the two sides do not seem to have any conflicts, they are living in harmony. But in fact, how could this be possible? Of course, it would not be a slander or even more overdoing each other. But competition is inevitable. However, there are not many conflicts, at least for the time being.
-----------------------------------------------------
After the introduction, Cao Cao knew that it was time to say something more important. So he glanced at Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu understood what his lord meant. So he said to Xiahou Dun and the others: "Dear generals, the Hanoi envoys came here before. It was for..."
Cheng Yu told several people about what happened during Sima Yi just now from the time he arrived and until he left.
Finally, he said, "The lord asked you all to come here just to ask you what you think!"
Cao Cao also said at this time: "Yes, that's right. I'm looking for you here just to hear your thoughts. Don't worry, just speak freely!"
Cao Cao really wanted to hear the opinions of his subordinates. After all, they were all going to fight after sending troops. But this time he came to Luoyang, of course, there were many military generals, and Cheng Yu was the only counselor, so it was not difficult for Cao Cao to foresee what the final result would be. After all, he could see that, especially Yuan Rang's hot temper, Sima Yi said that he was afraid of his Liangzhou army, and the first thing he was to dissatisfied.
-----------------------------------------------------
Sure enough, as soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Xiahou Dun said, "Lord, did that Sima Yi really say this? This is really too disregard for our army! Lord, my subordinates requested to send troops and let him Sima Yi take a good look at whether our army is like what he said!"
Cao Cao just smiled faintly at this, everything was the same as he thought. If it weren't, it wouldn't be him Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuanrang. I guess he really couldn't stand this anger. If Sima Yi was present at this time, Yuanrang would have to refute him in person and say that he would lead his troops to Hanoi.
"I wonder what you have any other ideas?"
After all, it was just Xiahou Dun's words before, and Cao Cao had to look at the other people's meanings.
Xiahou Yuan also spoke at this time: "Lord, my subordinates also agree with what Yuan Rang said, send troops to Hanoi!"
Cao Cao nodded. It seemed that the two brothers had the same idea, and they probably couldn't stand what Sima Yi said. Of course, this was indeed a little bit for them to send troops, but many of the generals also wanted to meet Ma Chao and Liangzhou Army earlier, so this was not wrong.
Later, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Li Dian, Le Jin and Yu Jin also expressed their ideas. The result was no exception, and they all agreed to send troops to Hanoi. When Cao Cao saw that he thought the same way that the generals agreed.
So the last one asked Cheng Yu: "I wonder what Zhongde thinks?"
Cheng Yu smiled: "Lord, if there are no envoys from Hanoi coming to Luoyang for help this time, then our army does not have to send troops. But now Sima Yi is here, so our army will definitely send troops to Hanoi!"
Cao Cao nodded, and the same was true for the generals. Isn’t that the case? It’s the same truth. No one came to ask for help before, so no matter how you make excuses to shirk it, it’s okay to avoid fighting against Ma Chao and Liangzhou Army. It’s no big deal. But now people are asking for help at the door, and you could have sent troops, but you didn’t send troops, and you repeatedly shirk it. How do you think about the world? So sending troops is an imperative, and this is a must.
Cheng Yu turned his words at this time and said, "But if the lord sends troops, it will hit Sima Yi's thoughts!"
When Cao Cao heard this, his eyebrows raised, and when Xiahou Dun heard this, he cursed in his heart, "You sour and corrupt scholar, you just said that you had to send troops, but then he said that the troops were the words of others. It was you who sent troops, and you said that other things were also you. What do you want? At this time, his eyes looked at Cheng Yu were a little unkind, and he felt quite good. If you Cheng Zhongde didn't explain it carefully, I would like you to look good."
Cao Cao asked, "I don't know what Zhongde means?"
Cheng Yu smiled, "Lord, I have an idea that I can not only keep our army from being influenced by Sima Yi!"
"What does Zhongde mean?"
"Lord, it is indeed imperative to send troops at this time, and there is no need to discuss it anymore. However, although it will send troops, how to send troops is within our army! The lord said, right?"
When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed, "No, what Zhongde said is good!"
This matter is actually understood as soon as I say it. Yes, it is okay to send troops, but it is not certain when I arrive in Huai County. According to Cheng Yu's intention, Cao Cao was preparing to send 20,000 infantry to slowly march towards Hanoi. If Ma Chao still failed to take Huai County after arriving at the local area, I will talk about it later. If the Liangzhou army occupied Huai County before reaching the destination, then his side could only retreat.
In fact, for Cao Cao today, even if he lost some of his losses, he could afford it. After all, the people who came to Sili and Luoyang were only a small part of his Yanzhou army, and most of them were still in Yanzhou. Now after Cao Cao passed by Beim, he was indeed more confident and his money and food were more powerful, so it was indeed different from the past.
Xiahou Dun, the general, was a little confused. He didn't know what his lord and Cheng Zhongde meant, so he asked, "Lord, I don't know what you mean?"
Cao Cao thought, "Xiahou Yuanrang didn't know or not, but he didn't think of this yet, so he briefly told Xiahou Dun, but Xiahou Dun curled his lips. He really didn't like this very much. In essence, if this is the case, wouldn't it be better to avoid fighting? What's the difference between this and Sima Yi? The Yanzhou Army on his side was really afraid of him, Ma Mengqi, and Liangzhou Army?
Of course, Xiahou Dun would not admit this, and this was impossible at all. But now that his lord has decided to do this, he has no choice. At least Xiahou Dun knows that what his lord has decided is at least not something he can change.
-----------------------------------------------------
Finally, Cao Cao said, "Zi Xiao, Zi He, Gong Ming, Yun Chang!"
"I'm here!" The four of them stood up and said.
Cao Cao nodded, "I ordered the four others to take 20,000 infantry soldiers to go to Huai County, Hanoi to assist the prefect of Wangyi, Hanoi to fight Ma Chao, and there must be no mistakes!"
"No!" The four of them agreed in unison.
Xiahou Dun was anxious at this time and thought to himself, lord, why don’t you let me go? He really wanted to lead troops to Hanoi, but he still said that what his lord decided was not something he could influence.
Cao Cao really didn't dare to let Xiahou Dun go. After all, the person in Wen County, Henoi is now his brother Meng Qi himself. At least Cao Cao knew that Xiahou Yuanrang was not his opponent. If Luoyang hadn't been able to live without him now, Cao Cao would have wanted to go by himself. After all, Cao Ren and Cao Cao were still a little worried, but they were always stronger than Xiahou Dun. Because if the two armies were fighting, even if Cao Ren was defeated, Cao Cao thought he could bring back a lot of soldiers. But if it were Xiahou Dun, he would escape from Ma Chao and bring back thousands of people, that would be good.
