Chapter 413 Liu Tao, who suddenly went south
"Zi Bo? I didn't expect you to come too?" Cao Cao was surprised and a little excited when he saw it.
Lou Gui, a native of Nanyang, had an old age with Cao Cao when he was young. Before Xi Zhicai came to power, or even after he took office, he was still the most valued adviser and general under Cao Cao.
It’s a pity that he was not safe in his later years and was suspected of slandering Cao Cao, and was eventually killed. It may also be that he began to expand in his later years, and Cao Cao felt that he could not control himself, so he killed him on the excuse.
Now, he is still the scholar Cao Cao valued the most, but he didn't expect that he would come.
"Meng De wants to go north to gain something, and Gui doesn't want to be unknown, so he just goes with him!" Lou Gui smiled, then turned sideways and introduced the scholars around him, "This is my recent friend, Xi Zhong, and his name is Zhicai. He has unparalleled strategy, which can help Meng De!"
"Brother Zi Bo praised me, Xi is not that powerful..." Xi Zhicai smiled, "But ordinary strategists, Xi does not take it seriously!"
Cao Cao smiled when he heard this. This person was arrogant, but he didn't know what his actual talent was. However, he should be recommended by Lou Gui. The key point is that Lou Gui's meaning is very clear. They came to join "self", not Liu Tao.
I don’t know what these people are thinking, but I really think that I want to go to establish a mountain. However, with so many people helping me, I can feel a little more at ease when I go north this time.
"It is a honor for Cao to be willing to help." Cao Cao also sincerely thanked him. Now he can only give this one.
The large army started to head north from Chenliu, and when they passed by Hanoi, it really made his prefect Wang Kuang a little scared. Now there are situations where they are kings and emperors everywhere, but most of them are wiped out... The rest are about to be wiped out.
The entire army of 3,000 people went north. Wang Kuang personally brought people to inquire. He knew that he was going north to Bingzhou, so he breathed a little relieved and even supported Cao Cao some military ration supplies.
He and Cao Cao were both generals, and it was normal for colleagues to help each other. At the same time, he knew better that if Cao Cao had no military rations halfway, he might plunder the local area to supplement military rations, and the losses would be greater than paying military rations directly.
Cao Cao knew Wang Kuang’s idea, but he did not refuse. After all, when there was really no military rations, he would probably do that.
As soon as I arrived in Shangdang, I came to greet me at the first time. Of course, I quickly sent someone to Jinyang to report the message. Finally, I found out that it was a friendly army that was coming to join, so I felt a little relieved.
Just because he was a little relieved, Cao Cao was not accepted for a day, so it was hard to say that his identity as a friendly army was still difficult to say. But if something happened to Shangdang, the prefect of Shangdang would have to take responsibility, especially the prefect himself planned to beg for bones this year.
The world is becoming more and more chaotic. People without ambition cannot afford to play, but they can afford to hide!
Cao Cao stayed in Shangdang for two days and was about to go north, but the prefect suddenly told him: "Cao Zhengwei, the governor of the state, replied that you don't have to go to Jinyang..."
"What, may you dislike us?" Cao Cao didn't say anything, but Xiahou Dun next to him spoke. This person was anxious and brave, but his personality flaw was also obvious.
Many times, Cao Cao almost never let him lead his troops alone, and even if he leads his troops, he will be with him, and is usually used as a vanguard.
His younger brother Xiahou Yuan was in better condition, but he was just better. He marched 500 miles in three days and 1,000 miles in six days. It would be fine if he was traveling in a safe area. During the war, the soldiers on the front line would need to be recuperated for a few days before they could recover.
At this time, the thief suddenly came to kill him? In other words, every time he went to the front line, it was fast, but it was a complete gambling fortune. If he had good luck, he would recover. If he had bad luck, he would wait to be slaughtered.
However, long-distance raids and sports wars are indeed easy to surprise. The winning rate of 73 is worth a bet.
"Slowly, you just called me...Captain Captain?" Cao Cao grasped the key to the matter.
"Yes!" The prefect nodded quickly when he heard this, "The governor of the state has appointed you as the captain of Jianwei and commanded these three thousand soldiers. Let's stay here and wait for him. He will lead his army in person for about two or three days."
"Why are you leading the army here?" Lou Gui stepped forward to ask, feeling that the situation was wrong.
"I don't know the specific details, this is the reply from Jinyang." The prefect replied quickly.
"Since recently, what big thing happened in the world?" Cao Cao seemed to realize something and asked quickly.
"Recently..." The prefect always wanted to beg for bones. How could he care about major affairs in the world? He had to look at the county magistrate.
"If you want to talk about the great affairs of the world..." The county magistrate thought for a while and replied, "Zong Zheng and the three ministers in the court jointly issued a manifesto to summon heroes from all over the world to fight against Dong! It seems that there are rumors in the market that those who first attack Luoyang will be called emperor!"
"Absurd!" Cao Cao rebuked angrily when he heard this, "It would be fine if the three officials mixed with their own desires. How could Zong Zheng make such a stupid decision? This manifesto is definitely a forged!"
"This manifesto was spread from Luoyang and has spread all over the world. Now everyone knows it!" said the county magistrate shrunk his head.
In fact, there is no need to confirm whether this manifesto is true. Even if the emergence of this manifesto is not explicitly stated, those who entered Luoyang to become emperor, but the princes in the world are just an excuse after all?!
"It's just unreasonable..." Xi Zhicai thought for a while, "Even if the three officials call on heroes in the world to challenge Dong, Bingzhou's master will go south at this time... it's unreasonable."
As winter approaches, it’s okay for everyone to stay in the greenhouse. Who would like to go out to fight in a cold weather? What is Liu Tao leading his troops south at this time?
"It's understandable, you'll know in two days." Cao Cao was also surprised, but he decided to wait and see.
Two days later, a cavalry rushed south, with a population of about 5,000. There were actually 10,000 baggage troops behind it, but it was obviously followed by the cavalry.
When this army of Xianbei horses and Liangzhou horses appeared in front of Cao Cao, the shocking feeling even Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan subconsciously shrank their heads.
"I am full of murderous intent and a brave fighting spirit. I am worthy of being a powerful army in all battles!" Cao Cao praised.
Without looking closely, this soldier is known that most of them are elite soldiers who fought with Liu Tao in the south and north. Only by passing through the battlefield can you develop such a spirit and fighting spirit.
"Meng De, I once thought that you might think that I am a small temple and don't want to come... I didn't expect that you would come!" Liu Tao looked at Cao Cao, smiled, turned over and dismounted, and came to him.
"Thanks to the prefecture's governor, Cao is willing to do his best!" Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"I want you to be of great use, and it's not enough." Liu Tao joked. Just as Cao Cao was about to defend himself, he continued, "Don't be so excited, just kidding... Meng De, are you ready to follow me to make achievements?"
