Chapter 116
Chapter 116
After Yuan Shao shirked Yuan Shao's grain borrowing, Cao Cao could be said to have come to the edge of the cliff.
Because judging from the situation of Su Qing not moving and spending his days leisurely in Chen Liu,
It has been concluded that the other party has completely recognized the fact that his food and grass are empty.
In this way, he can only decide with Su Qing in the next month.
Otherwise, once the military food is exhausted, its own army will collapse on its own.
Therefore, at Cheng Yu's suggestion, Cao Cao had already begun to pave the way for the next decisive battle.
After all, he had never fought before, so he decided to send an elite to test Su Qing's combat power first.
In order to give the other party a dismount, he even sent his own cavalry elite, the tiger and leopard to ride!
As a soldier of the world, Cao Cao, who had been fighting in the Central Plains for many years, naturally knew the importance of cavalry.
Since he just raised his troops, he has been building an excellent cavalry team with blood.
The kung fu paid off, and over the past few years, this tiger and leopard rode basically did not encounter an opponent in the Central Plains.
Although there are only 15,000 people, they are already well-equipped and have repeatedly won elite divisions!
Qianfan either unified Yanzhou or attacked Xuzhou.
In every battle, the tiger and leopard cavalry shows the invincible posture of the Central Plains cavalry!
And the leader of the tiger and leopard riding is his own clan brother, Cao Chun.
Although in terms of personal martial arts and fame, Cao Chun seems relatively average.
But in fact, Cao Chun's use and command of cavalry tactics is absolutely unique in the world!
Combined with the 20,000 step horses led by the fierce generals Xu Chu and Cao Hong.
Under such a lineup, Cao Cao believes that he will definitely be able to create a blow to the morale of Su Qing's army!
And that's crucial.
After all, at the moment, due to Su Qing's pressure, he couldn't find the space to use his tactics for the time being.
Su Qing's army was also known for its good fighting.
Since this is the case, he cannot sit still, and must prepare the way in advance for the decisive battle between the next two sides.
It is essential to hit Su Qing's morale in advance!
In this way, under the order of Cao Cao, Xu Chu, Cao Hong, and Cao Chun, these three fierce generals, set out from Puyang in Dongjun early the next morning with their soldiers and horses.
The next day, in the territory of Yanzhou, the Cao army was marching mightily.
The three generals of the Cao Army at the front of the team were marching slowly.
Cao Hong, the commander-in-chief of this battle, walked in the middle, with a long knife in his hand, and said proudly.
"Zihe! Zhongkang! "
"This time the Lord ordered me to wait to test Su Qing, and I can have confidence!"
Cao Chun on the side also smiled and replied confidently.
"Brother, what are these words, the crown of the tiger and leopard cavalry army I lead, the world is invincible!"
"Which enemy has you seen in the past is not like a meat mud?"
"You should ask Su Qing if he has the confidence to face us!"
"I have to let him know this time, what is called thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi!"
"Tell him what elite cavalry is!"
The last time Cao Chun saw Su Qing's army was a few years ago, during the Sour Jujube Alliance.
At that time, when Su Qing attacked the chaotic battle of the allied camp at night, he was deeply impressed by the cavalry team under Su Qing.
However, time has passed, and over the past few years, the tiger and leopard horse in his hand has also grown in every war.
Cao Chun had long wanted to compete with Su Qing in the cavalry!
And his confidence is not without sources.
In addition to successively creating brilliant achievements, the tiger and leopard riding has also been continuously improving in terms of equipment and other aspects in recent years.
Looking around, the tiger and leopard behind Cao Chun rode, one by one.
The men and horses were all dressed in hard armor, armed with a sophisticated spear in one hand, and a moderately sized tiger-faced shield in the other.
The banner is unfurled, the cloak is strong, full of murderous spirit, and invincible!
In the years of conquest of the Central Plains, this excellent cavalry team has never encountered an opponent of the same military branch!
Hearing Cao Chun's conceited and confident words, Cao Hong laughed.
"Hahahaha! Good! "
"Zihe is worthy of being my Cao family disciple! Domineering and decisive! "
"This time, we must let Su Qing see what a real cavalry is!"
Xu Chu, who laughed at the same time on the side, was like an iron tower and as strong as a bear and tiger, and also said.
"I heard that there are many powerful generals under Su Qing!"
"Especially I heard that there is a guard nicknamed evil by his side!"
"The sour jujube coalition army called by the lord before, it is also rumored that this person is the first in the world!"
"I'm not convinced! This time, be sure to part with this person! "
Xu Chu has only been joining the Cao Army for a few months.
Although his status in the army was far inferior to those of Cao Hong and Cao Chun, he was not even qualified to lead troops.
In this battle, his identity is just a minor colonel under Cao Hong.
But with his infinite strength and unstoppable bravery, the generals in the Cao army still looked forward to him.
As early as when he was in the countryside, Xu Chu often heard that there was an ancient evil in Su Qing's army.
He is also good at foot combat, and he has long wanted to receive the teaching!
So for this expedition, Xu Chu is quite excited!
"Hmm! Zhongkang is so courageous! You have always been proficient in martial arts! If you have a chance to fight this time, you must seize it! "
"At that time, I will definitely sponsor the Lord and let you lead a battalion of soldiers and horses!"
The three generals chatted very happily, and the tiger and leopard rode the elites, and one by one they were also domineering.
But none of them seemed to care much about the other ordinary soldiers.
It is completely different from the spirit of these well-fed, clothed and warm generals and elites.
These ordinary soldiers, one by one, were in ordinary spirits, and there was no prophetic communication with each other during their marches.
The reason why there is such a lifeless situation is only because they want to conserve their physical strength.
After all, they haven't had enough to eat for many days.
Because since the confrontation with Su Qing, the military food that Cao Cao sent to ordinary soldiers like them was one meal a day.
This is also a matter of no way, after all, no matter how big Cao Cao's ability is, he can't change food.
In order to ensure the physical strength of the generals and elites, under the limited grain, Cao Cao could only be wronged by these ordinary soldiers.
And the phenomenon of the soldiers was soon seen by Cao Hong.
As Cao Cao's favorite general, he was naturally aware of the facts in the food shortage camp. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )
Therefore, on this expedition, Cao Cao told him a thousand instructions, and at the same time to fight a quick victory, see if he could get some food from Su Qing's military camp.
Thinking of the lord's order, Cao Hong frowned slightly, looked away from these soldiers, and then covered his eyebrows with his hand and looked at the sun hanging far away,
After roughly determining the current hour, he ordered.
"It's already late afternoon, let's hurry up, according to the lord's orders, tomorrow morning, we must rush to the battlefield!"
"Yes! Checkmate! "
Then, this Cao army, which was mixed with this tiger and leopard riding elite, increased its marching speed and moved quickly towards Chen Liu.
On the other side, Chen Liu Military Camp.
Su Qing, who has always attached importance to information and intelligence, naturally learned about Cao Jun's movements very quickly.
At this moment, in the tent of the Chinese military marshal, Su Qing, who was enjoying the beating of the legs of the little lady Ma Yunlu, leaned on the comfortable mink chair, looking a little lazy.
After several advisers were allowed to enter, they began to report to Su Qing.
"Lord Qiyu! Cao Jun moved! "
"Cao Hong is leading more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and is heading towards Chen Liu!"
"It is estimated that it will arrive tomorrow morning!"
During Jia Xu's report, his eyes also lit up, because the current progress of the matter was completely reported by his own master.
Cao Cao, who was short of grain, really couldn't sit still after being recognized by the lord!
Take the initiative to send troops to fight!
In this way, the trend of "waiting for work with ease" carefully planned by the lord has been formed!
At the same time, Fa Zheng, who realized this, also nodded and smiled.
"The Lord is far-sighted! Adapt to all changes with no change! "
"Before the strategy of not moving the army, Cao Cao wasted a lot of time and food and grass."
"Now that the other party is tired and going out to fight, the combat strength and morale must also be greatly reduced!"
After speaking, Xun Yu next to him was full of smiles, sighed in his heart for a long time, and then continued.
"Starting from Cao Mengde's design, every step has been firmly calculated by the lord!"
"Obviously, he is the garrison, but now he has been forced by the lord to the point of taking the initiative to fight!"
"This time, he had no choice but to send troops, and he had already fallen into the rhythm of the lord!"
"Next, we will eat as many troops as he Cao Mengde sends!"
It is quite rare for Xun Yu, who has an elegant and low-key personality, to be able to say such words.
But the words are not rough, his opinion does get to the point.
As the garrison, Cao Cao had already failed by half strategically in the Lost Soul Array that he had placed in 940 after being recognized by Su Qing.
Then after Su Qing used the method of confrontation to contain the other party, Cao Cao can be said to have no choice now.
This initiative completely gave up the initiative to Su Qing.
This time, Cao Mengde seemed to be attacking the side, but after losing the opportunity, it was not unscrupulous to make this move.
In contrast, Su Qing could sit firmly in Chen Liu's camp, enjoying the endless supply in the rear, while using the posture of waiting for work to face the tired and hungry Cao Cao's soldiers and horses!
Under such a gaffe, who has the advantage, it can be seen at a glance!
Such a battlefield advantage is simply encounterable and unattainable!
Therefore, the strategists who understood this were simply impressed by Su Qing!
Because the current good situation can be created, it can not only be formed by simple military strategy and stratagem.
It must be built with more transcendent wisdom and foresight!
With the power of one person, create a battlefield situation that is more conducive to yourself!
Just thinking about this matter makes people look up and excited!
Looking through the annals of history, this is definitely a rare work of "military gods"!
Suddenly, Jia Xu and other strategists were amazed by Su Qing, and all kinds of admiration were endless.
However, compared to these strategists who were obsessed with battlefield strategy and were extremely excited, Su Qing was light.
After all, these things have long been expected by him.
"Those generals of the Cao Cao faction?"
Hearing the master's message, Fa Zheng immediately replied.
"Lord Qiyu! According to the detective report, Cao Hong should be the main general, and the deputy general Cao Chun is in charge of the tiger and leopard riding! "
"It is said that there is also a big fierce man named Xu Chu!"
Hearing this configuration, Su Qing's indifferent gaze seemed to flash a light.
For Cao Hong and Cao Chun, he didn't care.
It's just that after hearing about Xu Chu, he really came to be interested!
Now he has the "Ancient Evil" guard.
Wouldn't it be nice to get the "Tiger Marquis" over again and make up a pair of invincible guards in the world?
Thinking of this, Su Qing's face spread with a smile.
Since you Cao Cao has taken the initiative to deliver it to your door, how can I have a reason not to accept it? .
