Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 80 Re-entry to Xuzhou
On August 24, after Wang Hou had survived for seven days in fear, Xudu's army finally descended on Xiao County and approached Xuzhou.

On the official road outside Xiao County, the heavy tiger and leopard cavalry were exactly the same as the heavy cavalry in the movie. They carried the cavalry halberd and walked forward with the swaying of the horse in a leisurely but majestic posture unique to the heavy cavalry. The infantry is also neat and tidy, and at worst has a set of leather armor. The dense halberds are like a swaying forest shining with cold light as they walk. The number of this army is not large, only about 1000 people However, it is the most core army accumulated by Cao Cao for many years of fighting, which is composed of big family trilogy and professional infantry.

Cao Cao's total force is 20, but 15 to 16 of them are all Qingzhou soldiers who are half soldiers and half bandits. Before Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou when he avenged his father Cao Song, although he did not restrain military discipline because of his anger The reason is that the Qingzhou bandit soldiers themselves are not restrained, and their ferocity and rage are also important reasons. Like locusts, they swept across hundreds of miles from Jiaojun to Pengcheng, and it is said that they killed the corpses of the people and blocked Surabaya.

But such a brutal army was beaten stupid by Lu Bu's Bingzhou iron cavalry after returning to Yanzhou for two battles.

Then when Zhang Xiu was conquered, the Qingzhou soldiers were the first to collapse, and the Qingzhou soldiers were the first to break down when they were fighting Yuan Shu. At the beginning of World War I, Cao Cao made a great military attempt, no Qingzhou soldiers were needed!Even the civilian husbands are young and strong recruited from Yanzhou.

"The last general pays homage to the prime minister! The last general loses his master and loses his army, which vents our army's morale. Please punish the prime minister!"

After all, it was a defeat, and no matter what the reason was, it was a fault. Here, a large camp was set up on the edge of Xiao County, and Xiahou Dun led Wang Houle in and went to take the blame. Sticking to the face, it's no wonder that the armor full of sword dust marks has been taken off and has not been maintained. Xiahou Dun is full of dust, kneeling on the ground in a mess, banging his steel helmet.

Although this matter has nothing to do with me, but when the kung fu is not enough, when it is close, Wang Hou also follows behind and kowtows blindly, to pick it up from the time, Cao Cao can be counted as the Chinese ancestors after how many generations , He didn't lose anything if he went to the wrong grave.

On the other side, Liu Bei is also dressed in the same way. His clothes are also kept from the battlefield, and even splattered with blood. Guan Yu, who is next to him with a red face, is almost there, and Zhang Fei is even more miserable, with blood red on his thighs. His body was heavily wrapped in bandages, and he had a cane in his hand. He was lucky, the bullet didn't hit the bone, otherwise, he would have been amputated and crippled in four rounds, five horses and six Zhang Fei!

On the side, Liu Bei still had a simple, honest and benevolent appearance, talking about love with a bitter face.

"Prime Minister, please forgive me! The Kansai bandits were too fierce, and they were overwhelmed by Lu's cavalry. This caused General Xiahou to retreat! I beg the Prime Minister to deal with it lightly!"

Xiahoudun was his confidant, and Cao Cao basically knew how he would fight when he was defeated. Seeing him in a panic, Cao Cao waved his sleeve helplessly.

"Get up! The crime is unforgivable, but the circumstances are justifiable! Make a note of this defeat first. In the battle against the Xuzhou Lu thief, you must fight hard and make meritorious deeds!"

"The last will obey!"

The matter is over. Although it was expected, Xiahoudun was relieved. He stood up with Le Jin and retreated to the train. Wang Hou did not retreat, but bowed heavily again. .

"Prime Minister, the order to pay the officials. The officials collected 19 shi of autumn grain and [-] strong men from the Liang State. Xiaolian, the county of Liang State, contributed a lot in this recruitment. This is the record of merit. I hope the Prime Minister will read it!"

Parker has a line, if you work hard, you will get money!Wang Hou is no more than a river demolishing bridges. He remembers whoever works hard in his small notebook. Of course, he also remembers clearly those who did not contribute. If he is rewarded for such meritorious service, next time he asks for help, someone will still help!
Listening to his report, Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction. This was the most appropriate logistics arrangement for his expedition in recent years. The soldiers consumed a catty of food a day, more than 19 war horses spent ten catties of bran a day, and a civilian husband Half a catty a day, [-] shi is enough for three months, and Wang Hou also ordered the autumn grain from Chen Guo in Jiao County to be imported to Xiao County one after another. The credit book, Cao Cao said with a smile again.

"Tu seeks meritorious service in this trip, and also writes it down. When the truth is victorious and returns to the court, it will be rewarded with meritorious deeds!"

"Prime Minister Xie, can the minister resign from his post and hand it over to the military advisor Guo Jijiu!"

It doesn't matter to Wang Hou whether he is rewarded or not. Now he is living a good life. The most urgent thing for him is to take a rest and sleep well. It would be even better if he doesn't have to go to Xuzhou to fight. However, Cao Cao's smile is suppressed , said in astonishment.

"What resignation?"

"No! Prime Minister, isn't Cheng Yucheng Shangshu in charge of logistics and military supplies in all previous expeditions?"

Wang Hou was dumbfounded immediately, but Cao Cao twitched his beard when he heard this, and said with a smile again: "Tuqiu's words are true! Pass the order of the truth and order Wang Hou to be Xuzhou's transshipment envoy! Zhao Yan's troops are assigned to you, and the county officials along the way listen to your orders! So, the name is justified!"

"Master Wang! Those who can do more work! Thank you, Mr. Guo!"

Followed by Cao Cao, Guo Jia was still smiling and clasped his fists, but Wang Hou's mouth was full of bitterness!But the military order was like a mountain, how could he dare to refuse at this time, under Cao Cao's smile, Wang Hou could only do another obeisance sadly.

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

…………

Thank you eight generations of ancestors!
In the Qianyuan of Xiao County, more than [-] soldiers lined up in a spacious and mighty formation. The flags were like forests, and the momentum was like a mountain. It was like an ancient giant beast entrenched in the field, and the general in front of them, Mr. Cao, was also fully armored. Holding up the Yitian sword presented by Wang Houxin like a god descending to earth, he roared inspiringly.

"Take the thief on behalf of the sky! Trample Xuzhou!"

Cao Cao's personality charm is undoubtedly revealed. Following his roar, tens of thousands of soldiers in the entire Xiyuan also raised their weapons with high morale, and roared with the same excitement.

"Take the thief on behalf of the sky! Trample Xuzhou!"

The shocking roar echoed on the Huaxia Plain, and the mountains far away from the shock seemed to be shaking with it. No wonder heroes and heroes all threw themselves into the battlefield, fighting bloody battles for rights. There is nothing more satisfying a man's ambition than raising his arms and calling for everyone to obey. of it?

But when Cao Cao was playing handsome, Wang Hou was as tired as a grandson. Under his sweaty command, more than 80 millstones were buzzing there, and thousands of people were using dustpans They kept sifting the blackened flour, and some people used brooms to collect the wheat bran that was stuffed, and put them in buckets together with the wheat husks. These were horse feed that would be fed to horses on the battlefield, and more people were Panting, he carried the grain hopper to the boat on the docked river.

Three days later, the army was about to go on an expedition. Wang Houde prepared to send out five days of dry food for the army within these three days, and the soldiers and horses did not move, and the food and grass went first. As a vanguard officer, Xiahou Dun led the cavalry to set off today, in the territory of Xuzhou To win the first stronghold for the army, Wang Hou's grain transportation team had to rush to hoard the grain in these strongholds to provide food for the army passing by. Although he didn't need to carry the grain by himself, the commander was not an expert. Easy work, otherwise the future supervisors and managers will pay more than 1000 more!
Moreover, the ancients were much more stupid than the later generations of modern people. Wang Hou almost vomited blood when he ordered these 7 people away.

I really have to pay back everything when I come out!Wang Hou was lazy and fake in Xudu, and now he has to return it together!
During Zhao Yun and Cao Hongjie's unconscionable spectators, they just pointed at a long nose that combined wheat bran and flour together and scolded him, and sent him away. Lie down, looked at the sky sadly and yelled.

"Is there a Labor Protection Bureau! I want to complain! I want to sue the black-hearted boss!!! Treat people like animals!"

"Wang Tuqiu!!!"

"Coming!!!"

…………

Wang Hou's hard work was not in vain. On the first day of September, Cao Jun, who was full of morale, carried bags full of dry food and pickles, and launched an attack on Xuzhou with light clothes. He marched all the way down Surabaya. In five days, he arrived in Xuzhou with ease. The important town is also Lu Bu's gateway, the important town of Huaiyang, Pengcheng, which was once the capital of the overlord of Chu!
On the other way, Liu Bei also carried steamed buns brought by Wang Hou, and led the two generals Guan and Zhang as well as the soldiers and weapons mixed in from Mr. Cao to return to Peiguo. The second general, they abandoned Xiaopei City in advance, retreated towards Liu County, and also diverted to Pengcheng. During Liu Bei's deliberate procrastination, he took back Xiaopei City without bloodshed, and gathered the old troops for about 5000 People, also followed Mr. Cao's buttocks and rushed towards Pengcheng, and came to pick up bargains.

In terms of the overall strategy, Cao's army was as imposing as a rainbow, and easily surrounded Pengcheng, which is an important military base in Xuzhou. Instead, Zhang Liao Gaoshun's troops were once again pulled back dozens of miles to the vicinity of Xiapi City, their old nest, and the Huaishan Jian City was directly abandoned.

Everything seems to be in favor of Cao Cao's development. However, even such an empty city that is close to emptiness still delays Cao Jun for [-] days!

On September 22, Wang Hou also rushed up with the rear team and the team of civilian husbands and young men, just in time to witness Cao Jun's last attack on Pengcheng!
"This is too stupid!!!"
