I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 45 The First Meeting of Cao Cao
In fact, Li Shimin and Huang Fusong are quite familiar with him. He mentioned this man named Li Shimin many times in his letters with his father, and Huang Fusong highly praised him in his words, saying that he is a talent of Qilin.Coupled with the release of the imperial list, this person has become a household name.

"Meng De, in your opinion, what do you think of Li Shimin?" Huangfu Song sat on the big case and asked thoughtfully.

"General, I haven't seen this man, so I can't comment on it. However, since this man can eliminate Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Bao with more than ten thousand cavalry, it shows that this man is brave. Moreover, he is good at seizing the opportunity and leading the army The surprise attack on the giant deer cut off Zhang Jiao's escape route to the north. At the same time, it was like sticking out a huge axe from behind the Yellow Turban Army, waiting for the right time to kill Zhang Jiao's deer. He is indeed a hero in this world. "

Cao Cao did not hesitate to praise Li Shimin very much.

It is said that this person is the traitor Cao Mengde through the ages.

It turns out that Zhu Junjun was defeated by Huangjin Bocai and retreated. Huangfusong and them stationed in Changsha for defense, and was besieged by Bocai's army. The Han army was few and morale was low.The imperial court sent Cao Cao to rescue.

In the end, Bocai, the Yellow Turban Army east of Luoyang, was defeated by Zhu Jun, Huangfusong and Cao Cao.

"However, the lower officials think that we can unite with Li Shimin to defeat Zhang Jiao's main force and finally wipe out the Yellow Turban rebellion." Cao Cao said excitedly.

Huangfusong obviously agrees very much. Right now the government army is in a favorable situation. The main force of the imperial court led by Huangfusong has already occupied Guangping and is staring at Guangzong covetously.Huben Zhonglang, Li Shimin's Yanmen army has also raided and captured the giant deer, coercing Guangzong, now as long as the two armies encircle and fight steadily, they will be able to annihilate Zhang Jiao in one fell swoop.

"Meng De, this time, you are the liaison officer between our army and the Yanmen Army, going to Li Shimin's barracks to discuss joint operations. Remember not to put on airs as a Beijing official, and listen to his views with an open mind." Huangfusong instructed .

"No, I will follow your lord's orders." Cao Cao has always been a man who has no airs and loves to make friends with heroes in the world, so he is naturally willing to go.

"However, my lord, in your opinion, what should our army do, should we attack or cooperate?" Cao Cao asked meaningfully.

Huangfusong said mysteriously: "It depends on how Li Shimin behaves, but I think he is definitely willing to cooperate with us."

Cao Cao smiled without saying a word, bowed in salute, and quietly withdrew.

…………

"Brother, what should we do? Zhang Bao was killed by the army, and Huangfusong's army came from Puyang again. Now we are under the enemy's front and back, and the situation is extremely critical. Let's come up with an idea." Zhang Liang asked anxiously.

At this time, Zhang Jiao's complexion was pale, his spirit was listless, he seemed to be dying of illness, and he no longer had the vigor of the past.After a violent cough, he took a deep breath, and his frown slowly relaxed.

It turned out that Zhang Jiao was unfortunately hit by a arrow during the previous battle with the imperial court and was seriously injured. After a period of careful care, he improved.It's just that bad news has come one after another recently, and my heart is stagnant, and my condition has become more and more serious. Now I can't get out of bed and walk.

But at this time, he had to stand up to boost morale, and made up his mind to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers.Although he already had a bad premonition, and a very strong premonition, but he was not reconciled.

"My brother Zhang Liang, we still have 20 elite soldiers, more than the imperial army. Moreover, we have consolidated the city defense in advance, and built military camps at all important passes. We can still fight. My millions of Yellow Turban believers are inexhaustible. Soldiers, God will definitely take care of us." Zhang Jiao said frantically.

"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established. The year is Jiazi, and the world will be prosperous." Inspired by Zhang Jiao, the believers under his command are also full of confidence, and they are all fanatical and excited.

…………

After Li Shimin entered Julu, he immediately posted a notice to appease the people, and at the same time sent a large army to patrol the city to guard against criminals.Under the rule of the Yellow Turban Army's white terror, the people who lived a life of turmoil finally ushered in a rare bright world.

For the captured Yellow Turban Army, Li Shimin asked Guan Yu and Zhang Liao to select elite and strong soldiers from them, excluding the old, weak, sick, disabled and old soldiers, and obtained a total of more than 5 elite soldiers.

At this stage, Li Shimin still continues to maintain the line of elite soldiers. On the one hand, he has limited money and food after all, and on the other hand, he has too many troops, and he is easy to become the target of public criticism.Including the previous Longwu Army, Longxiang Army, Shenwu Army and Shence Army, there are a total of 10 people.

Taking advantage of the large army of captives this time, Li Shimin divided the internal army into a central division.Among them, the Shence Army is still all cavalry, keeping it within 1 people, and it is better to lack than to overuse.From the [-] army, [-] brave men were selected to be Li Shimin's direct guards, called Iron Wall Guards.

He divided the remaining army equally between the Longwu Army, the Longxiang Army and the Shenwu Army. Each team will maintain around 3 people. In the future, Li Shimin plans to have no more than 5 soldiers. Except for the generals.

Five days after being stationed in Julu, Li Shimin was dealing with military affairs in the lobby at this time, and the scout army who went to inquire about the enemy's situation brought back a lot of news.

He already knew that outside Guangzong City, the Yellow Turban Army had already defended heavily and built a strong camp, obviously planning to guard against death.

Just as he was listening to the military situation, suddenly a school captain from Yuanmen rushed in to report, and Huangfu Song personally sent his confidantes to discuss military affairs.

When Li Shimin heard that it was Huangfusong, the son of his old boss Huangfujie, who sent someone here, he didn't dare to trust him, so he hurriedly asked someone to come in.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a length of seven feet, narrow eyes and long beard appeared in front of Li Shimin.Although it looks ordinary, there is a faint aura of a king exuding, the momentum is extraordinary, absolutely extraordinary.

Li Shimin's heart tightened, and he looked very respectful, as if he had already expected the identity of this person.Hastily stepped forward and cupped his fists and said: "I didn't know that your honor was coming, but I was far away to welcome you. Forgive me for my sin."

Cao Cao was also a little puzzled, he didn't know Li Shimin very well, but seeing that he was very polite to him, his words were full of respect, it didn't seem like a fake, could it be that he knew me?

"You are welcome, general. Cao Cao, the captain of the cavalry under the command of General Huangfusong, has been ordered to discuss military affairs with the general. I also ask the general to take the common people of the world into consideration and attack together to wipe out the traitors." I mean it.

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was still right.Facing Cao Cao, the hero of the ages, he respected and awed him at the same time.It's a tough opponent, and a respectable one.He is talented and broad-minded, with a lot of wisdom and schemes, which is more than a hundred times stronger than those of Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong.

But at this time, Li Shimin was a little excited. He could compete with Emperor Wu of Wei and compete in the world together. Just thinking about it made him tremble with excitement.

Li Shimin asked calmly: "I don't know what arrangements General Huangfu has. I have also been friends with General Huangfu for a long time, and it can be regarded as a relationship. The boss Huangfu was my superior before the festival. He taught me a lot, and I am very grateful." .”

Cao Cao had actually heard about it, but he never imagined that there would be such a deep connection. Only then did he understand why Huangfusong was so sure that Li Shimin would cooperate with him.

"Since there is such a relationship, the two armies will surely be able to work together to defeat the Yellow Turban, haha." Cao Cao laughed heartily, making it difficult to see through his thoughts.

Li Shimin said very decisively: "Since it was General Huangfu who sent the order, the subordinates will naturally support it with all their strength, and cooperate with General Huangfu to take down Guangzong and eradicate Zhangjiao's rebels. When the time comes, our two armies will enter the city and cooperate, and we will surely win the battle."
