Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 646
"My original intention of this surprise attack was to go down to Lanzhou quickly, go north along the Yellow River, and reach Xingqing Mansion. First, we will turn the Xixia people's lair upside down, and wait for them to go back to the army, and then use all means to defeat them one by one!"

Lao Cao pointed at the map and said calmly.

From Lanzhou to Yinchuan, one is on the left side of the river and the other is on the right side of the river. The distance is eight or nine hundred miles, and there are many mountains and difficult to walk.

The reason why Lao Cao was so determined to rob Lanzhou was that he could go up the Hebei River by water and reach Xingqing Mansion directly, making a lightning-fast achievement.

"There are many precedents for the Song court to attack Xia." Lao Cao sighed: "I have seen previous battles, which took several years to prepare, sent out countless troops, and fought with hundreds of thousands of people in armor. What was the result? Mostly there were victories and losses. "

Gently shaking his head: "From my point of view, the hundred years of Song and Xia campaigns can be summed up in eight characters, which are 'protracted, laborious and costly.'"

The eight fluttering words summed up the efforts of countless heroes over the past century, countless blood and shouts, glory and loss.

As the generals of the Western Army, Qu Duan and Wang Yan subconsciously glanced at each other, showing expressions of dissatisfaction.

Cao Cao saw it, smiled lightly and said, "Since I made such wild words, there must be a reason..."

He took a deep breath, and Zhuang Su said: "I think the reason why the Western Army and even the Song court failed to deal with Xixia is that no one in the court has ever realized that he is from Xixia, but one of the barbarians. ——You can know, what are the Hus?"

Lao Cao stretched out his hand and quickly drew circles on the map, some big and some small. Most of the time, they overlapped each other in similar areas.

While casually saying: "Xiongnu, Donghu, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Tuyuhun, Rouran, Turkic, Tubo, Mohe, Uighur... Khitan, Dangxiang!"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly slapped the picture heavily: "Did you see it?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one said anything, obviously they never understood what Lao Cao was referring to.

Old Cao Hu looked at the crowd, and there was a burning flame in his eyes: "You beards, weeds! Even if he was grounded to the sky once, he would not escape the spring, autumn and death, and the frost withered! Even if there is a spring breeze to regenerate, he is still shallow and innocent. feet!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's voice was already stern: "You guys will remember today, all the barbarians are also weeds!"

"As for our Han people, they are like rocks, giant trees, mountains, and rivers!"

"The river has its source, and the mountain has its roots!"

"What is the source? It is the blood of our ancestors flowing from generation to generation in our bodies!"

"What is the root? It is a book of sages with brilliant words in our hearts!"

Lao Cao's voice was like thunder, rolling in the hall, everyone heard it, it was deafening, their eyes were sore and their blood was hot, and they wanted to look up to the sky and scream.

The old Cao's voice became worse: "My Han family is fighting with the Hus. Do you want to come and go with him, see each other?"

He laughed loudly, and shouted: "In the past, the Han Dynasty was in ruins. Dragons and snakes rose up in the four fields, fighting for hegemony, and they did everything they could! Sometimes there were Qianghu barbarians, who thought that the Han family was fighting among themselves and had no time to care about others. In the Central Plains, however, the heroes at that time, if they pay attention to it, they will wipe him out at will, and this is still the time when the national power is at its weakest point!"

"If the Han Dynasty is prosperous!"

Probably during the words, the old dream of General Zhengxi was touched, Lao Cao's face suddenly flushed, and even his voice trembled slightly.

"When the great Han prospered, the sound of 'A strong man will be punished even if he is far away' shocked the world! My generation of Han sons seeks a feudal lord, how far is it from the mountains and rivers?"

He looked carefully at the flying bird map, as if he wanted to find a certain place, but he couldn't find it for a long time.

With a self-deprecating smile, he simply raised his head and pointed to the northwest: "Five thousand miles away, there is a mountain named Yanran, which is the place where Ban Gu engraved Shi Le Gong!"

He pointed to the west again: "Ban Chao, the younger brother of Ban Gu, led 36 people out of the fortress, crossed Congling, arrived at the county, turned to Jueyu, the battle must be the first to climb, 22 years in and out, swept 56 countries, pacified the Western Regions, and sealed the Marquis Dingyuan!"

Onion leader, the Pamirs, and the county, the Hindu Kush Mountains.

Old Cao let out a long breath, glanced at everyone one by one, lowered his voice, and said lightly: "Brothers, think about it, brothers like Ban Gu and Ban Chao, are they also fighting with Hu Er? Like fighting for hegemony at the end of Han Dynasty, Do you also come and go with Hu Er?"

"Mosquitoes suck blood, flies make noise, nothing to think about, just slap away!"

Lao Cao's words, although everyone in the tent is a hero who sacrifices life and values ​​righteousness, it is actually difficult to truly and completely understand.

About eight hundred years later, there may be a line of poems that can reflect his state of mind at this moment.

It is really: "In a small world, a few flies hit the wall. Buzzing, screaming, and sobbing!... The four seas are churning, the clouds and water are furious, and the five continents are shaking with wind and thunder. To wipe out all harmful insects, there is no one invincible."

Although the heroes don't have the eyes of Lao Cao who spanned thousands of years, nor the confidence and arrogance left by the strong men, they are heroes after all. Although they can't fully understand, they are also excited by what he said.

"Mr. Jin Jian" suddenly said: "I know what my brother means! Xixia called for blood sucking, so I will give you a slap. Now Tubo, Uyghur, Zaqiang and other tribes dare to trample on our Han prestige, so they slap me again." Slap it!"

"Hahahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly, "As expected of Mr. Jin Jian!"

He looked at the map, and clicked on the west and north of Lanzhou: "Although Wu is not talented, he also wants to imitate the sages. Now he not only wants to attack Xingqing Mansion, but also wants to make those worthless people know the Han family. What is majesty!"

"I want to divide the troops!"

"At present, the soldiers and horses are more than people I brought back from Youyun, from the Western Army, and from the Jishan Army!"

"I want to mobilize the Jishan Army, together with the Western Army, to form the West Route Army, with Li Zhu as the main general, and Ma Xie, Wang Yan, Wu Jie, and Wu Lin as the deputy generals. Go west along the river, and first take Huang. Recover Zhouzhou and Xining Prefecture, then attack Suzhou, Guazhou, Shazhou, and even Yumen Pass!"

Shazhou, Dunhuang also.

On Li Zhu's thin face, there was a clear flush, and he solemnly clasped his fists and said, "Brother is so trustworthy! How dare Li Zhu disobey?"

When he wandered around the rivers and lakes, bewitching Wang Qing to rebel, didn't he have the ambition to make contributions in his heart?

At this moment, Lao Cao appointed him as the main general to recover the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the agitation in his chest was surging like a sea tide.

Lao Cao stared at Li Zhu's eyes: "It's not a prosperous time now. After the Xixia Kingdom is settled, I have to go back to deal with Jinliao. I will give you 5000 people. It is still uncertain whether there will be follow-up reinforcements."

Li Zhu considered for a moment, then met Cao Cao's gaze: "I want the right to make decisions on the fly!"

Cao Cao smiled: "The general is outside, and all power is in your hands."

Li Zhu said again: "If Hu people are recruited as generals, can the rewards and punishments be the same as those of the Han people?"

Cao Cao said: "First, whoever enters Huaxia is Huaxia, and second, all authority is in your hands."

Li Zhu showed a hot smile: "Since this is the case, Yumen Pass may not be the end point. Ban Dingyuan can go to Congling and the county with 36 people. My brother gave me elite soldiers. Why can't I make it?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, nodded and said, "If so, you should be Duke Dingyuan!"

Pointing to Ma Xie, Wang Yan and other five generals: "Your general, if you want to go thousands of miles away, you will not be able to make achievements in the world. If you dare not go, then follow me to Xingqing Mansion. If you dare to go with him, once you succeed , are all dukes.”

Ma Xie laughed loudly: "Brother, I am a strong thief in Huaixi, I was scolded by the world, and died in the grave of my ancestors. Now that my brother has given me the road to become a marquis, how can I not go through this experience?"

Wang Yan, Wu Jie, and Wu Lin all laughed and said: "Brother Ma is a strong man, but he still wants to be a marquis, let alone us as a general? In this case, brother will be killed to the end of the sky!"

Cao Cao laughed: "Big man, it should be so! Remember, all the way, 'Plow the court, sweep the house, and leave it to the counties and counties!'"

He also said: "My headquarters has 1 troops from the Jishan Army and Western Army. The total is more than people. This is the North Route Army. Starting today, we will search for ships and build large rafts. After three days, we will go up Hebei. Surprise attack on Xingqing Mansion."

After saying a word, the rest of the people said it all together!

There are different teachings: the golden sword goes west to imitate the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the magic sword goes north to bloom brilliantly.Huaixi hawkers Jiangnan and Han, Northwest show their sharpness to the fullest.

　I actually sat down early today, earlier than usual, thinking that I could write five or six thousand words, write, revise, check, and supplement. When I read it just now, why am I so illiterate?

　　I was shocked... I'm really sorry.
