Chapter 30 30. Kill your own people before the battle starts

Cao Cao bid farewell to the Bao family brothers, and bid farewell to all his friends.Lifting the pride in his chest, he stepped on the mount.The banner of the Han army was raised in the wind, and the three thousand sons were all strong, with green swords fastened at the waist, and Dawan BMW riding on the crotch.On the left is Qin Yilu, and on the right is Louyi, who are neatly dressed and guarded by swords.All I could hear were the drums beating, people cheering and horses shouting, and the team was about to set off. Chen Wen hurried to Cao Cao's horse in a panic: "Wait, wait!"

"What is it?" Chen Wen gritted his molars and said in a low voice, "Bring the soldier talisman." Cao Cao was frightened into a cold sweat: The soldiers of the Han family recognized the talismans but not the people, and the soldiers who entered the camp had prior knowledge of the tiger talismans.But now that the veterans are all on the march, one of him and He Jin is leading the army for the first time, and the other is a confused general. None of the people in the battalion have any experience in leading troops, so they just remembered to ask for a soldier talisman at this time, so what if he advances one step later? Confess to the emperor?

He was afraid that the soldiers would see the joke, so he hurriedly took out the tiger amulet from his pocket and handed it to Chen Wen.Chen Wen understood, covered it with his sleeve, and quickly put it in his sleeve: "Let's go!" Cao Cao was half surprised and half happy, and finally led the team away from Duting safely. The weather was fine and breezy, and he led the team himself.The horse team was also fast. After traveling for about half a day, they had arrived in Goushi County. They were ordered to rest along the city and press down on the camp.Gou's Xiangyong prepared water and food early, and everything was arranged properly. Cao Cao went to the city again to meet the county magistrate of Gou's. He stopped marching in the afternoon and stayed here to rest and stay overnight.

At dawn the next day, Cao Cao was not in a hurry to dispatch troops, but still ordered all the soldiers to rest and recuperate.After standing still for a long time, those soldiers became a little bit critical.But he didn't pay any attention to it, just sat in the tent and wiped the sword leisurely.Unexpectedly, within an hour, Qin Yilu ran in: "My lord! You..." "Call the general." "My lord general, you are not in a hurry! Some people are scolding you outside. They say that you are ordered by the emperor and dare not even go out, and that you are..." "What is it?"

"It's no real ability to say that you are a captain riding in exchange for favors." Qin Yilu boldly said. Cao Cao didn't take it seriously, and said with a sneer, "Take me to have a look." He got up and followed Qin Yilu out of the tent, and saw many soldiers chattering, and some people gathered others with whips.These soldiers are not ordinary people, and they all feel that they have some skills, and they have a big face, and no one salutes him when they see him leave the account.I don't know who shouted: "Look, everyone, the grandson of the eunuch has come out!" All the people in the camp laughed loudly.

Cao Cao was most concerned about this matter in his life, but he endured it and shouted: "Give me a moment of silence!" Lou Yi and Qin Yilu both shouted, "Shut up! Lord Captain is about to lecture you!" Only then gradually calmed down. "The captain of the capital was ordered by the emperor to lead you to conquer the rebels and help the second army achieve great achievements. Why are you making noise here for no reason? Go back to your tent and rest!" A soldier in full armor shouted: "I don't know! The imperial court sent us to rescue the king's division, not to sleep here! Now that Bo is occupying Yingchuan, two groups of soldiers and horses are besieged. Defeated, how can the captain stand still here and delay the opportunity of the war? We are voluntarily joining the army and serving the country to be loyal. If you don't come forward, we will fight ourselves! I will not die as a coward!"

"Yes! Yes!" Many soldiers shouted after him. "Such a short-sighted person dares to ridicule this captain? How do you know that I am stagnant?" Cao Cao glanced at the people in front of the tent, and suddenly roared, "Prick up your ears and listen to me! There is a saying in the art of war, know yourself and your enemy We will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. There are more than ten times as many rebels now? If we send troops at this time, it will be noon when we reach the pass. If we rest at the pass and go to battle in the next day, the army will be exhausted!

"If you go out in the afternoon, if you encounter the enemy army during the day, the victory or defeat is still unknown. The yellow scarf bandits are a mob. If such an army loses a battle, their morale will be low. But if they really want to fight a battle, they will fight more and more. Yueyong, I really think that I am a magic soldier. So our army can only win this first battle, but not lose! I tell you to recharge your batteries and set off officially in the afternoon. Take advantage of the darkness and go straight to Changshe, the sky is not yet clear, and when the time comes, we will destroy the bandit barracks in one go, and the siege of Huangfu Song will be relieved immediately!"

Hearing his well-founded outburst, everyone fell silent.Cao Cao squinted at the soldier who took the lead in mocking him: "You don't know the military situation and talk too much, and you dare to despise the captain, you will be executed if you talk about military law!" The soldier knew that he was wrong, but he still dared to say: "Someone belongs to Yang Shangshu's residence..." "Shut up! I don't care which family you are from. Since you are in the military camp, you should obey the military orders. In the past, Sun Wuzi beheaded the concubine of the king of Wu to correct the military law, and I, Cao, will use your head to build a reputation. Lou Yi! Push him out Chopped!"
