Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 248 Disputes within the Chinese military tent

   "A strategy to lure the enemy!" Cao Cao stood beside Bao Xin and said decisively.

   This is on a small hill outside Xingyang. Bao Xin and Cao Cao's allied forces had just passed Bianshui when they were blocked by Dong Zhuo's army.

   Then the Kwantung Allied Forces fought hard, especially Bao Xin’s younger brother Bao Tao led the elite county soldiers in Jibei, like a chisel, killing Dong Zhuo’s army retreating steadily...

However, Cao Cao felt that Dong Zhuo's army was retreating too quickly, so he carefully observed the form of Dong Zhuo's army, and found that except for the retreating Chinese infantry, Dong Zhuo's army's two wings were still stable, and there was no sign of panic. look.

   So Cao Cao realized that this was actually Dong Zhuojun's strategy, but now the choice was placed in front of Bao Xin and Cao Cao, should they continue to pursue or stop?

  Bao Xin also turned his head and asked Cao Cao: "...Since that's the case, should we withdraw troops or..."

   Retreat?

   This is undoubtedly a relatively safe choice.

  In this way, the two sides can slowly open the contact surface and break away from the battle. The coalition forces of Bao Xin and Cao Cao will not have any great risks.

   But is this a good choice?

  The scene in Liu Dai's big tent that day seemed to be right in front of my eyes—

  ×××××××××××××

  Liu Daigao sat at the head of the table, and did not get up when he saw the crowd filing in.

   Cao Cao, as Zhang Miao's deputy, also sat behind Zhang Miao and participated in Liu Dai's military discussion.

Liu Dai narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard with one hand, and slowly swept from left to right, then from right to left, and then stayed on Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun for a while, then put it back, smiled, and said : "The day before yesterday I received an order from Taifu Yuan, and I want us to march into Chenggao. Now I call you here to discuss this matter."

  The audience was silent, and no one responded.

   Liu Dai said with a serious face: "The country is in danger, and the universe is hanging upside down. This is how we relieve the people from the fire and water, and when the Han Dynasty is about to collapse, I hope that everyone will work together to overcome the country's difficulties!"

  The big hat was put on, of course no one dared to say no, so they glanced left and right, and they all clapped their hands together.

Liu Dai nodded when he saw this, and said: "Now that the army is about to be dispatched, there should be a vanguard. I think that the Dongjun soldiers are strong and strong, and Yuan Wei is knowledgeable and talented, and he can manage the army well. I should take this responsibility. I hope Yuan Wei can relieve the emperor's crisis." Forced to relieve the country's crisis."

  A military order will be issued immediately, appointing Qiao Mao as the vanguard.

Qiao Mao was anxious and nervous, he couldn't help grabbing his sleeve with both hands, and suddenly touched the thing in the sleeve, he was quick-witted, and said: "The order of Governor Liu should be obeyed, but before Mao received the order of the general, we need to wait for it in Suanzao It's a pity that you can't leave without authorization, so you can't be driven by Governor Liu..."

Hearing this, Liu Dai almost tore off some of his beard, and hurriedly said: "Hu...husband is away, he can do things cheaply, and the current situation is changing rapidly, and the opportunity to fight will be lost as soon as it is launched, so why not stick to it?" Liu Dai almost uttered nonsense. Fortunately, he changed his words abruptly and became "the general is outside", regardless of whether what Qiao Mao said was true or not, in fact, it was to find a theoretical basis for himself to refute Qiao Mao's obedience to the general's order.

Qiao Mao clasped his hands and said, "What Governor Liu said is true. We are all dispatched by the so-called general's military order. The general's move must have a deep meaning. How can I, who is shallow, know it?" ? The post general is the real general! Strictly speaking, even a shallow person like you must be at his disposal! Don't use that trick to fool me!

   "..." Liu Dai finally couldn't hold back, restrained his smile, lowered his face, stared at Qiao Mao with a pair of triangular eyes, and said, "...Yuan Weiyan has an order from the General Empress, where is the order?"

Qiao Mao took out a letter from his sleeve, showed Yuan Shu's famous thorn on the cover, and before Liu Dai asked someone to present it, he received it in his sleeve again, and said: "The following general gave me a secret order. It is inconvenient to announce it to the general public, if Governor Liu has any doubts, he can send someone to ask the general later."

You do not believe?

  Then you can ask Yuan Shu!

Before Liu Dai could react, Qiao Mao continued, "Now the Han Dynasty is in dire straits. As the Queen of Qi Mourning Hui, Governor Liu should take the lead and set an example for the world. I hope the wind will come down, and it will be decided in one battle! It will be famous in history, and it will be sung all over the world! Therefore, I implore Liu Inspector to personally go to the army, and I will do my best to supply the Inspector's army food, and I will help the Inspector to achieve great achievements!"

   All of a sudden, Liu Dai was undoubtedly put on the fire, and it was not right for Liu Dai to agree, let alone not agree. Wouldn't it be equivalent to putting a noose around my neck if I agreed, but if I didn't agree, then wouldn't it be equivalent to slapping myself in the face with all my outrageous words just now?

  Liu Dai was so depressed that he almost got internal injuries. In a blink of an eye, he saw Zhang Miao's expression that seemed to be a half-smile, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case, I will conquer it myself!"

Everyone couldn't help being stunned for a moment, they didn't expect Liu Dai to agree, but then Liu Dai turned his head and said to Zhang Miao: "I will lead the Chinese army to go out, Zhang Chenliu can be the vanguard! I don't know Zhang Chenliu Is there someone's secret order?"

Although Zhang Miao wanted to say yes like Qiao Mao, but he couldn't find any secret orders in a short time, so he gritted his teeth and agreed. Food and grass go first, I am the vanguard, I implore Governor Liu to allocate food and grass, otherwise how will we fight?"

   The implication is that if you, Liu Dai, can't gather enough food and grass for me, I can't be a pioneer...

However, when the army is dispatched, it has always been necessary to give some food and grass first. This is what it should be, and there is nothing wrong with it, so Liu Dai can only nod in agreement, let Zhang Miao calculate the quantity before reporting, and stare at the bridge. Mao said: "Since Qiaodong County stays in Suanzao and serves as the governor of grain and grass, if there is a shortage, it will be handled as a military law!"

Qiao Mao bowed his head and said yes, and said immediately: "The incident happened suddenly, and the food and grass could not be prepared in a day. Zhang Chenliu allocated the necessary food and grass, and asked Liu Shishi to dispatch it first, and the follow-up food and grass will arrive slowly." Exchanged a glance with Zhang Miao, Zhang Miao understood and nodded slightly.

"This..." Liu Dai stared at Qiao Mao, but couldn't find any reason to refute it. Grain and grass can't just fall from the sky. Even if it is recruited, it will take time. The choice now is to either allocate the grain and grass to Zhang Miao himself, or Give Qiao Mao some time to raise funds, but if it is delayed, something will inevitably happen, so I had to turn around and ask Zhang Miao, "I don't know how much Zhang Chenliu needs?"

Zhang Miao talked eloquently: "During the march, the main soldiers had a solar eclipse of six liters, and the auxiliary soldiers were slightly reduced. 20,000, 40,000 auxiliary soldiers, 3,000 horses, and the loss of roads, if you want to deploy, the total required is..."

  Zhang Miao did some calculations, and continued, "...Please, Inspector Liu, set aside 150,000 stones of food and grass for preparation!"

   Liu Dai almost choked, 150,000 shi! You really think that food and grass fell from the sky!

   During Cao Cao's conquest, there was a shortage of water on the road, and all the officers and men were thirsty. Cao Cao had a plan and pointed at it with a whip: "There are plums ahead."

   When the sergeant heard it, his mouth was full of saliva, so he was not thirsty. Going back for a hundred miles, to the territory of Bingzhou, you can see several Meishan Mountains, towering and towering, stretching for thousands of miles.

   Cao Cao was frightened and wanted to leave, but was surrounded by his subordinates...
