Chapter 089 Untitled
Link felt that this must be Cao Cao's test together. He may not really treat him, nor may he really take his military power. He is just trying to test whether Cao Pi's orders to him will work if he dies.
Hero, in his twilight years, he is just an old man who is dedicated to the consideration of his younger generations.
Lin Ke sighed in his heart, but his face remained silent. He handed the tiger talisman to Xiahou Dun and said lightly: "Since it was the idea of the prince of Wei, I believe the king of Wei also had the same idea. Although I still don't understand how such a ridiculous idea of changing generals in the last battle and how the order was issued, the prince suggested that the king of Wei agreed, which was equivalent to an imperial edict. I have nothing to say about being a subordinate. I just hope that Yuan Rang could make good use of these cavalry for the sake of past friendship. They were different from infantry, and it was really a waste of resources to capture cities and villages."
Xiahou Dun took the tiger talisman and looked at it, and asked Link: "Where will Duke Wen go?"
"I will go to see the King of Wei, and I must ask this matter clearly. If the King of Wei had already had this intention, I hope to have an explanation. If the prince came up with the idea, I just want to ask why, with the King of Wei's intelligence, would he agree that such a ridiculous act of revenge."
Link stopped, asked his personal soldiers to bring their armor and helmets, and took the Fang Tian Hua Ji, saying, "If you can't give me a reply, it's great. Liu Bei is in Xichuan. Since the prince said that I was secretly understanding Liu Bei, I will give it to him openly."
Xiahou Dun was shocked. He knew that Link was very important in Cao Cao's heart. Huarongdao's life-saving grace had not been returned yet, and over the years, Link has always been loyal to Cao Cao's expeditions and struggles. This time, would he really force Link to rebel?
Yu Jin clenched his fists as early as Xiahou Dun said that. He was not entirely upsetting for Link. The 30,000 cavalry brought by Link this time were considered Qiang cavalry, but as Link's deputy general, he understood that most of them were elite cavalry trained by Link using new training methods.
If Cao Cao was now doubting that Link had any wrongdoing, and seeing that Link secretly trained tens of thousands of cavalry forces under any lord forces in this era, he might not have doubted that at that time, but directly affirmed that Link had long been unjust.
Yu Jin is not afraid of being implicated. After all, he is responsible, but he is afraid that he has spent several years of hard work to train the cavalry and destroyed Yu Yi. Yu Jin knows more than anyone else. No one can command those cavalry except Link. Once Cao Cao restricts freedom and even orders killing, there may be someone in Guanzhong who is unwilling to avenge Link. Xiliang will definitely come out and make Cao Cao's territory full.
You know, the Qiang cavalry who came to the wind were the guys who were deeply rooted in the essence of Link’s “guerrilla warfare”!
Yu Jin did not see it. Le Jin, who was carefully observing the emotions of these three people, had already seen his emotions.
In Le Jin's opinion, since he is also an official under Cao Cao's command, even if Link is temporarily deprived of military command this time, what's the point? Cao Cao has tried many tests against his subordinates. After the test, how should he use it and how should he use it?
But Yu Jin's emotions clearly indicate that there is something strange about Xiliang and even Guanzhong, and this strangeness is probably related to Link.
Le Jin guessed that there must be a huge relationship here.
But he would not say it, at least he would not tell anyone what he observed and summarized without Link's knowledge. He could be among the good generals of the Five Sons, so he was naturally a cunning and wise man. Le Jin would never do such a short-sighted thing.
What's more, he was also a general of a foreign surname. In front of Xiahou Dun, the general of the Xiahou clan of Cao's clan, he was unwilling to tell some things. After all, everyone fought with Cao Cao to conquer the world, but they did not all become Cao Cao's family generals and slaves.
Xiahou Dun was so panicked that he almost threw out the tiger talisman in his hand. He knew too well that the 30,000 iron cavalry under Link were more aware that the 30,000 iron cavalry only recognized Link but not Xiahou Dun. Seeing the personal soldiers around Link wanting to cut off his anger with one knife, one can imagine what a chaos it would be when the 30,000 people knew that Link was actually suspected by Cao Cao and his son to rebel, and that was what a chaos would be like.
Xiahou Dun grabbed Link and sighed, "Duke Wen, don't be so sensitive. Who among us has never been tested by Meng De? To be honest, Cao Pi did a bit unauthorized this time, and Meng De also has his own difficulties. As ministers, we all understand their difficulties?"
After saying that, Xiahou Dun put Link's tiger talisman back into Link's hand, took out his own tiger talisman and slapped it in Link's hand, patted his chest and said, "It's better to do this. Duke Wen took my vanguard to attack Yangping Pass on my behalf. I will go to see Meng De. Even if Cao Pi said anything bad about you, I will let Meng De dispel your suspicion of Wen Gong, okay?"
Suddenly, Lin Ke waved his hand: "Brother, I'll just say this. Forget it, I don't want to have so many. Anyway, the King of Wei has not asked me to hand over the military power completely. In this way, I will continue to lead my 30,000 cavalry, but Tongguiyuan asked you to lead. Let's find a way to take down Yangping Pass first, and then go to the King of Wei to apologize. What do you think?"
Xiahou Dun agreed, so the four of them discussed in Link's central tent for a while. People outside heard violent quarrels suddenly coming from the tent, and even the sound of something being smashed. Not long after, Xiahou Dun, who was holding the unsheathed sword in his hand, ran back to his camp with his dozen or so people.
However, Link, with Yu Jin who was not good-looking and Le Jin who was silent, didn't know where he went. Anyway, there was a major military event on the SLRs, so he could never find their shadow.
Looking for Link, Link's personal soldiers told the messenger to ask him to find Xiahou Dun. However, when Xiahou Dun was found, Xiahou Dun cursed Link and was so proud that he had all the things he had today. Yu Jin and Le Jin were trying to fight, and he could still hear Yu Jin's complaints that seemed to be standing up for Link.
The news of the disagreement between Cao Cao's vanguard army was naturally quickly spread to Yangping Pass. Sun Tianming was overjoyed when he heard the news and invited Ma Chao, saying, "Meng Qi has to thank me this time. Lin Ke's military power has been revoked by Cao Cao. Now the commander of his 30,000 cavalry is Xiahou Dun, who has been dozens of miles away from Nanguan. It seems that there is no need to wait for the military advisors and the reinforcements to arrive. We will defeat the troops of Link in these days."
Ma Chao considered the fraud, but he had no evidence. And what Sun Tianming said was right. Even if this matter was fake, it finally created a conflict between Cao Cao and Link. If there was a conflict, it could be used.
That night, Ma Chao and Sun Tianming personally led the soldiers in the city to sneak out of the south gate of Yangping Pass and rushed towards Link's camp. However, at noon, the Liang army had already collided.
Unexpectedly, Sun Tianming shouted sternly: "No, this is probably a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Yangping Pass is probably lost."
It turned out that those who stayed in the camp were just mountain people who were brought from somewhere to wear the clothes of Link's army. Xiahou Dun and Link were gone at this time.
That's right, the idea that Link gave Xiahou Dun was to let Sun Tianming see that the two of them were already dirty. Link concluded that he would definitely come out to attack in the past few days, and this time, he caught him.
Sun Tianming and Ma Chao led thousands of elite troops in Yangping Guanzhong, and rushed left and right under the command of several side generals of Le Jin and Xiahou Dun, but they just couldn't break through the encirclement.
As for the moment, Lin Ke and Xiahou Dun had already bypassed the army of Sun Tianming and Ma Chao and secretly attacked Yangping Pass for a long time. The trick used by Lin Ke happened to be a trick, and he was still not as good as Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong's Sun Tianming, even a place with an extremely superior strategic position like Yangping Pass was lost.
On the top of the city, Xiahou Dun patted Lin Ke's forehead and grinned and kept saying filial piety: "Don't leave immediately. This is a happy event for my forward. Since Yangping Pass has been taken down, let's continue chasing you?"
Before Link could speak, another horse rushed from the surface, and the cavalry on the horse shouted from afar: "The King of Wei has an order, and order General Zhenxi to meet him!"
Link instinctively felt that he would have to fight for a complete opportunity to take revenge as soon as he went there.
Even before this, Link was still thinking, since this counter-espionage scheme was proposed and implemented by Sun Tianming, can he also use it on him?
However, if it is used instead on Sun Tianming, it is really not easy to use.
