The elite soldiers defeated Xijing

After stabbing Zuo Mou and Que Zhu to death, Li Huaijian pointed at the corpse and said: "These two people are both Duan Er's confidants. The two of them lacked courage and may be innocently involved, but since the trouble has reached this point, Xiao Ke has no choice but to do it."

Then I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go, and hope that the public will investigate him."

Cao Cao secretly laughed, knowing that Li Huai's move was because something had happened to Feng Tai and Gu Jian. He was worried that he would be suspicious of him, so he used these two as a pledge of surrender.

At that moment, he pretended to be surprised, opened his mouth for a long time, and then said: "Well, Mr. Li naturally knows the temperament of the two of them better than Wu. Killing these two people shows that Mr. Li is very talented and treats Wu with sincerity."

.”

Li Huai was immediately overjoyed when he heard this - he was also an ambitious man, but he was self-aware and knew that he was not enough to achieve great things on his own. Therefore, he and his uncle had the same thoughts, and wanted to find a good leader to assist him. However, Cao Cao was not courageous and had no means.

, in the eyes of their uncles and nephews, they are the best choices, and they have the strength foundation of Liangshan, so their intention to join him is quite sincere.

It was originally a happy situation for everyone, but unexpectedly, the situation was ruined by Sui Gu and Feng Tai. Apart from being embarrassed and annoyed, Li Huai couldn't help but feel uneasy, until he heard the eight-character comment "light wind, bright moon, full of sincerity", he felt in his heart

Just now it was settled.

Then he put away his sword and sat down, and brought wine to Cao Cao. Cao Cao drank a few drinks with him, exchanged a few polite words, and then formally talked about the future arrangements for Funiu Mountain.

According to Cao Cao's intention, Funiu Mountain occupies a vast area, spanning several states, and soldiers and horses are raised in it, which is enough to open up wasteland. If there is insufficient money and food, he will expand the business of Tongque Trading Company as soon as possible, with Wancheng as the center.

, all the income from the business was given to Li Huai to support his troops.

As for the soldiers and generals, Li Huai is still in charge, and in line with Liangshan's east and west, there will be a large-scale campaign within a few years.

In addition, there are many detailed arrangements, all of which are related to Li Huai.

Li Huai was elated after hearing this. He had spent a lot of time raising this powerful army. Now that Cao Cao was willing to take over the bulk of the effort, it showed his sincerity. He also had great trust in his uncle Li Zhu's methods. He was convinced that even though his uncle went to Liangshan alone, he would still be able to rely on his ability.

, the sword on his waist will not be used for long, and he will inevitably become one of the leaders. At that time, he will have a strong army to support him externally, and his uncle will protect him internally. His achievements in the future will definitely be far higher than that of a mere xuanfu envoy.

While excited, he couldn't help but show his loyalty. He first picked up a few baskets of obedient words, and then took the initiative to request: "Ming Gong, Xiao Ke's five tigers are all capable of fighting. Now they have been hiding in the mountains for several years, and they are inevitably overqualified. With small things, they can't help but show their loyalty."

But what I mean is, Ma Yi and Ma Jin are the best at training soldiers, and they have stayed to help me. As for Yuan Lang, Teng Si, and Teng Kan, they can't stand loneliness and like to fight. It's better to let them stay with Ming Gong.

Please help me, when I need Xiao Ke to send troops here, it won’t be too late to come back to help.”

Cao Cao never disliked the number of powerful generals. Hearing this, he was overjoyed: "Very good. In this way, their fighting and meritorious service is also a contribution to your Jishan Army."

The two of them were talking in harmony with each other, when suddenly they heard a lot of noise coming outside. The curtain was lifted, and Yuan Lang and several generals walked in boldly: "Brother Wu, Mr. Li, fortunately, I have not disgraced my order and have taken him."

Come with two heads."

As he spoke, he placed the two heads of Fengtai and Dian on the table.

Cao Cao stood up and said, "Have any of you been injured?"

Du Bo smiled and said: "Brother thinks highly of them. Even though they are both good, Lao Du and the Five Tigers of Jishan attack at the same time. If two more come, they will eat me and kill them. How can they be hurt?"

Now he narrated the situation. After catching up with the two generals, Du Bo and Yuan Lang fought with the second general. More than thirty people combined to win or lose. The Teng family brothers helped Yuan Lang, and the Ma family brothers helped Du Bu. One of them was beaten, and Su Jian supported him for seven or eight years, but was decapitated by Teng Shu's sword. Fengtai supported him for more than ten years, and was stabbed through the heart by Du Bo.

When Cao Cao saw the two dead men with their eyes open, he sighed and said, "It's a pity for these two tiger generals! If they hadn't bumped into the six of you, they might have charged out."

He said to Li Huai: "Anyway, your colleagues will die as if a lamp went out. Two of them will be buried together."

Li Huai nodded and called his men to dig a deep pit, cut down wood for coffins, and bury the four generals.

He also asked all the generals to sit down and drink, and informed Cao Cao of all the important matters. Yuan Lang and the other three heard that they did not have to endure the sun and moon in the mountains and were quite happy to go out and explore with Cao Cao.

Everyone drank until late at night. Cao Cao looked drunk and asked Xu Guanzhong to return to the camp to report that he was safe. He stayed in the Jishan camp and stayed there for several days. While drinking, he explained all the trivial matters in Funiu Mountain one by one. .

Don't look at these things as trivial. In fact, they are very revealing of the skills of a general. Unless you have been a general for a long time, it is difficult to imagine that many of the matters were done by Li Huai and others. Seeing that Cao Cao was speaking in an orderly manner, they admired Lao Cao for a while. It is also rising day by day.

Five days later, Cao Cao bid farewell to Li Huai and led five generals, Xiao Jiasui, Du Bo, Yuan Lang, Teng Shu and Teng Kan, out of Funiu Mountain back to his base camp.

The next day, we led the troops out of camp, crossed Funiu Mountain and Song Mountain one after another, came out from Heming Gorge, went up the Yishui River, and headed north to Xijing.

At this time, the sun was blazing and the climate was hot and dry. It was not bad when walking in the mountains. There were ancient trees on the cliffs and deep forests with lush leaves. It was somewhat shady. Once out of the mountains, people would be anxious and restless. Although Cao Cao deliberately chose the route along the river, there was no shortage of water. , still walking slowly, covering a total of more than a hundred miles, and walked for three full days before entering Luoyang, Xijing.

After staying overnight, Cao Cao was about to break camp the next day when he suddenly came to report. Twenty miles away in front, a group of officers and soldiers came in a huge rout. They reached the ground and reached the sky. There were countless soldiers and horses.

Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this and cried out: "Is it possible that Tong Guan's army was already defeated just after arriving here?"

He quickly mobilized more than 3,000 cavalry and personally led four powerful generals, Lu Junyi, Du Bo, Zhu Jing, and Yuan Lang, to rescue and respond. He also ordered Xu Guanzhong and Xiao Jiasui to lead the generals to reorganize the three armies, guard the camp, and respond to the defeated troops.

After walking for more than ten miles, I saw more than ten thousand horse troops rushing towards me. In the middle, there was a man with a golden helmet guarding him. Who else could he be if he wasn't the handsome Tong Guan?

Cao Cao shouted: "Prime Minister Tong, the future will come soon! Since there is a camp ten miles ahead, Prime Minister, don't be alarmed."

Tong Guan heard the shouting from a distance, turned his head and looked over, and he was overjoyed. But at this time, thousands of horses were running wildly, how could he stop? Then he ordered a group of cronies around him to shout in unison: "General Wu, the commander has ordered you to stop the enemy." military."

Cao Cao clasped his fists and accepted the order, not daring to face the route of the defeated army. Relying on the cavalry troops under his command, he rushed forward in an arc, but he saw that behind Tong Guan's more than ten thousand cavalry, there were scattered infantry everywhere, and they lost their helmets one by one. He abandoned his armor, lowered his head and just ran away.

Lu Junyi was shocked when he saw it: "Duan Wu only has 50,000 troops, and the imperial army is almost twice as large. Tong Guan is not ignorant of soldiers. How could he be defeated like this?"

Cao Cao was also startled and confused, finding it unimaginable, so he led his men and just moved forward. Not long after, he encountered another group of defeated troops, led by General Wang Cun.

Wang Zhen was also a fierce general, but at this moment he was in a state of embarrassment. The sword in his hand had long since disappeared, and five or six arrows were inserted all over his body, especially a wolf tooth arrow on his shoulder that penetrated half a foot. There was blood all over his body. Cao Cao shouted: "

General Wang, how could we be so defeated?"

When Wang Zhen saw Cao Cao, he was overjoyed and shouted: "You son of a bitch, Duan Wu, was about to be wiped out by us, but Tian Hu suddenly crossed the river and came to kill him. With two attacks, the army collapsed! Go and save him quickly!"

Liu Yanqing, he is the rearguard of the entire army, so it will be too late if he leaves late."

Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this. He quickly led his troops and rushed straight ahead.

There is a teaching: The vast world is in chaos, who can escape from this? Fame in the waves is lost in water, and fate in the wind is turned into sand.

Dead today.

A little stuck...
