Remember [ ] in a second to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

Liu Ruo hesitated for a while, and then said: "Zihe, your intention is solid, but my army has traveled more than a hundred li from Dingtao, and there is no rest along the way. From Changyi east to Gaoping, it is another hundred li. 'Fifty li is to fight for profit, then you will be defeated by the general, and the law will be half-reached', fifty li is like this, how about more than 200 li? Even if you raise your elite and go for it, you will become a tired soldier when you reach Gaoping, if you can fight and win it , of course it is the best, but if you don’t win? I am afraid that not only will it not boost morale, but it will make our army fearful and dare not fight Xuzhou again.”

Cao Chun's expression was calm and his words were calm, and he said: "It is indeed a big taboo for the military to advance in pursuit of profit, but now I am sending troops to strike first, not for profit, Xuzhou invades my territory for no reason, and it is unjust, I encourage the soldiers with righteousness. , the soldiers will fight to the death, and if they travel two hundred miles, even the elite will become exhausted soldiers. This is true. Xun Chang and Sun Kang went out of Hexiang and went to Rencheng County, which is also more than a hundred miles away. A righteous man fighting to the death, attacking an unprepared laborer, even if it is not easy to break it, it is not difficult.... Now Xuzhou has a strong military force, if our army does not seize its voice first, wait for the highest level, and use my army of fear of war to welcome it. His winning division will definitely fall into a hard fight. Xu Junqing is a famous general under Zhendong's tent. When he arrives with follow-up reinforcements, the outcome will be difficult to say. Captain, please think about it again."

Liu Ruo still couldn't make up his mind and said hesitantly, "Zihe, why don't you send your cavalry back to Dingtao, tell the general's wishes to the general, and ask the general to decide?"

Cao Chun said: "When the enemy is in a decisive battle, it is not impossible to send the cavalry back to Dingtao, but if you come and go for more than 200 miles, you will miss the opportunity." Seeing Liu Ruozhan looking forward and backward, he was hesitant and troubled, and he could never make a decision. After all, he was the main general, and Cao Chun was unwilling to "go his own way." After half a step, he said, "Or else, I will send my cavalry back to Dingtao in a hurry, ask the general for instructions, and I will lead the elite first. If the general does not allow me, after I get the letter, the captain can send someone to chase me. ."

Even if Cao Chun only led the cavalry first, the speed of a large army would definitely not be as fast as riding alone. If you had to use horses and do not rest day and night, you should ask Cao Cao for instructions first, and then chase after him.

Liu Ruo said, "This is the best!"

Therefore, Liu Ruo sent a fast horse to ask Cao Cao for instructions, and Cao Chun selected a fine horse and rushed towards Gaoping first. In the evening of the next day, he arrived at the west bank of Sishui, and joined the garrison of Xiahou Dun's other troops. When they arrived on the east bank, the trilogy had not been assembled yet. One person came by boat from the other bank, got off the boat, and hurriedly asked to see Cao Chun.

Cao Chun called this person to see him, but he recognized it as a Sima under Liu Ruo's tent.

The man said, "The general has an order for the captain." After speaking, he took out a document and presented it to Cao Chun.

Cao Chun pulled out the ink pad and opened it for viewing. The handwriting on the document was Cao Cao's own handwriting. There were only four words: "Wen Wen Lu Bu."

Revealer, the meaning of frankness. The unsealed instrument was called a lubu. Lubu contains many aspects, one of which refers to military success. Obviously, Cao Cao agreed with Cao Chun's plan, which was wishing him a victory and success.

Cao Cao and Xun Zhen have many similarities in character and behavior, and it is for this reason that although the two of them have known each other late and have not seen each other many times, they "cherish each other" and attach importance to the military education of officers under the account. One of the places where the two are similar is that Xun Zhen compiled the previous military art, noted famous battle examples, and distributed them to the school to study. Now this book is only a preliminary form, has not yet reached the level of maturity.

Cao Chun has intensively read and studied this book, and is often by Cao Cao's side at ordinary times. From his expeditions, he has obtained further learning in practice. Therefore, his ideas of governing and using troops can be said to be completely derived from Cao Cao. "Steal the Voice" is actually Cao Cao's military strategy that he learned and observed. Therefore, Liu Ruo can't understand it, but Cao Cao will definitely not object.

With Cao Cao's approval, Cao Chun immediately summoned the officers of the various departments in the department and showed them the letter. Seeing Gaoping's city wall from a distance, he said: "Zhendong is bullying people, not only invading Mount Tai, but also attacking Rencheng County, humiliating and persecuting, and seeing my army as nobody? Although it is famous for its military exploits in Beizhou, it can be borrowed from it. Make us famous! Sun Kang, thief ears, Xun Chang, Confucianism, if we are like roosters and thieves, poor scriptures and hoshou, we are not as good as ourselves, and how can we compare with us! Gaoping, the world is a big shock, this county has the same name as that, can you hope for this?"

Baiqikeng Zhao soldiers 400,000, Cao Chun is talking about the battle of Changping between Qin and Zhao, Baiqikeng Zhao soldiers is not really called Gaoping, but dozens of miles southwest of Gaoping, but not far away, he It's not even rhetorical. "You can hope for this," Yunyun asked not if they dared to imitate Bai Qikeng and captured 400,000 prisoners, but asked these officers if they would like to gain fame by defeating the Xuzhou soldiers.

After listening to Cao Chun's words, the officers thought about what Xuzhou had done in recent months. They were indeed deceiving people too much. They all felt deeply humiliated. Chang and Sun Kang have come and gone!"

Cao Chun was satisfied and knew that the military heart was available, so he told the officers about the latest enemy situation that he had just learned from the soldiers of Xiahou Dun. , Gaopingjian, less than twenty miles away from our troops. They don't know that our troops have crossed Sishui, so I want to order them to rest for half an hour, and then attack their troops! What do you think?"

There was no objection from the officers, and they all said: "Dare to invite you to be the vanguard of the captain!"

Compared with the other men of Xun Duowei, the people in the Cao family are not tall, and so is Cao Chun. He is young, just twenty-four years old this year, and his beard is still soft. By no means can it be called majesty, but at this time, he was wearing armor and clothes, and he was generous with his sword, but it did not make people feel that he was short and small, and a burst of vigor was convincing, and he was willing to die for it.

The Cao family is not a family heirloom. Cao Cao, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong are all good rangers, hunting with bows and horses, and not practicing inspections. Especially Cao Ren, before Cao Cao, was a young man with Yin knots, numbering to more than a thousand. The generation is full of swordsmen, light chivalrous men, and many desperadoes. Although Cao Chun respects the bachelor, his clan style is like this, and he will inevitably be deeply affected. Usually, it is not enough. When needed, he deals with martial arts. He has all the methods, courage and resoluteness to face the enemy.

After the songs were assembled, they rested on the spot for half an hour. Cao Chun took the lead and led them to the marching place where Xun Chang and Sun Kang's troops were located. Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
